GOVERNOR NAMES MAN
TO DISPLACE A. B. NYE
_ — . .-. . \u25a0
Gives Office . of Controller to
Frank Mattison of
Santa Cruz
COURTS WILL DECIDE
Gillett Says Appointment
That Pardee Made
Was Not Legal
A local contest over the right to the
office of state controller na» precipi
tated by the appointment yesterday
morning by Governor Gtllett of Frank
Mattison of Santa Cms. late member
of the board of equalisation, to succeed
A. B. JV'jre, vrbo irai appointed to the
position by Governor Pardee to fill the
vnexplred term of the late E. P. Col-
Kan. The latter's first term of office
expired on the same date as that of
Governor Pardee's first term, and al
though be was elected for a second
term his death occulted "before the of
ficial return of the vote rrmm made.
At the time of Colgan'R death Gov
ernor Pardee appointed Nye, who had
been his own eecretary. to fill the va
cancy, and on January 1 of this year,
the last day of his own occupancy of
the governor's chair, he followed thif
with a second appointment for th£
term for which Colgan had been elect
*d, and which would extend over Gil
lon's tenure in office..
Governor Gillett, however.* who un
willing to allow Mattison. his . own
choice for the place, to be deprived of
the office, and the appointment was
made yesterday in regular form as
though no contest would result. Sec
retary of State Curry signed Matti-
Bon's commission as soon as it was
presented, but when the latter made
& demand for the office yesterday morn-
Ing Xye, through his chief deputy, D.
A. Moulton. refused to step out. State
Treasurer Williams announced, as soon
as he was informed of the contest,
that he would hold up all warrants
coming from either Mattison or Nye
until the matter was settled In the
courts, and that no salary demands of
the employes of the controller's of
fice would be honored. Last night, on
the advice of Attorney General Webb,
he modified this stand, and. the war
rants and salary demands , signed by
Nye will be honored as usual on the
ground that he is •till controller de
facto.
Governor Gillet came to San Fran
cisco yesterday afternoon, and when
seen last night at the Palace hotel
regarding the appointment, said:
"In appointing Mr. Mattison I acted
npon the advice of the attorney general,
who has had the matter under consider
ation for some time at my request. I
had intended to appoint: Mattison at
the time of my inauguration and have
merely postponed It because of the
business occasioned by the Session of
the legislature and other affairs which
have taken up my time. There is a
close legal point involved, but Attorney
General Webb, Garret McEnerney and
other prominent attorneys who havo
looked into the matter declare that my
appointment is valid.
"Mr. Mattison will at once institute
quo warranto proceedings to determine
his right to the office, and it will: bo
argued that the appointment of Mr.
Ny«j by. Governor Pardee was not effec
tive. The constitution, provides" that
the term of office of the controller is
coincident with that of the governor.
Consequently Nye*s term did not expire
until midnight of January. 7, and Gov
ernor Pardee had no right to make an
appointment until a vacancy existed.
Neither does he have the right to cut
off his successor's right' of appointment
by filling an office for which the term
begins at the time his own ends.
"There will be no trouble as to the
payment of salaries or issuance of war
rants. Mr. Nye will be recognized as
controller de facto until the matter is
tettled In court and will conduct the
business of the > office without hind
rance."
Another appointment made by Gov
ernor Gillett yesterday was that of the
new state board of medical examiners
under the new law, adding two osteo
pathic physicians to the » old board of
nine members. The new appointees' are
A. L.. Cothran, San Jose; G. F. Reiri
hardt. Berkeley; F. C. E. Mattison,
Pasadena ; J. W. James, Sacramento ;
Saxton Pope, Watsonville: *J. Park
Dougall and F. S. Barnard, Los An
geles; W. M. Mason. Lodi; C. L. Tls
dale. Alameda, and Ernest Scisson, Oak
land.
It was noted thai no San . Francisco
men were appointed to the board,
which must have its official headquar
ters in this city, but Governor Gillett
explained that the office . would remain
here, and that his selections were in no
way due to outside influence in favor
of any of the candidates. Under the
new law, the allopathic physicians are
given five members- of the board, the
homeopathic two, the eclectic two, and
the osteopathic two. Twice the num
ier of names to be appointed are sub
mitted by each of the state societies
representing the different " schools, and
from this list the appointments are
nade.'ifSCafSl

caped before the automobile was over
taken. The chauffeur refused to di
vulge her name. Her: testimony /will
be required at the coroner's inquest,
and the. police are searching for her. .
Blast sought to confuse the police by
saying that the ffutomobile he drove
was the property of -a Fillmore street
cigar man named Sloss, but when cor-,
nered he, admitted that It belonged to
Louis Sloss of 2610 Pacific avenue,
president of the Alaska commercial
company. ... /
Witnesses of the accident say . tljat
the dead man had just stepped from a
northbound Fillmore - street car when
the automobile, which was being driven

Then , why. marvel \u25a0 that lAnnte/ Russell

Aside from Miss Rusell's charm /the

flocks of aerial spirits "in view , and
