the Case
Gus Anderson,, the Los Angeles rep
resentative of W. TV*. Montague & Co.
ior this city, complained, to ''the police
\u25a0yesterday morning; that he bad been
•drugged and robbed by a newsboy. on n
Urain while on his way to San Fran
cisco. . •'\u25a0 ' . . "".". :'
, He said that he left Lbs Angeles oa
(Saturday night "arid that during the
[trip became friendly with the "peanut
ibutcher." Before, reaching this. city he
: became so drowsy that be could not
ikeep his eyes open and be "had 'to be
\u25a0roughly shaken on the arrival or the
i train Sunday morning "at Third and
Townsond streets before he could re
\u25a0jrain his senses. He and the newsboy
,had been drinking 'and he believes a
'drug was put in . his^ liquor. ...
When Anderson searched his pockets
h«» found that ?60 of the $100 that he
had when- he left Los Angeles was
missing and he accused the newsboy of
taking it. Some one led him to a.
saloon near the depot, where the bal
ance of his money was taken from him.
lie believed that the neweboy had him
taken to this saloon so that he could
be relieved of the remainder- of his
coin. , \u25a0 ' ...-.\u25a0;. t . .
VI was so sick on Sunday and yester-'
Cay." to. ld Anderson, "that I was unable
to: walk; ; 1 went to the police at the
first opportunity I had to report the
case. .1 was" so -stupefied' from the
effects of the drug that I could not
tell -the exact location of the saloon."
Chief Detective Klndelon of the
Southern. Pacific company was «ent for
and he took charge of Anderson. An
derson was on.his way to Seattle on
business for the firm, but will remain
here till Kindelon concludes his in
vestigation. Klndelon will be assisted
by "Detective Tom Jlyan. ";
MILLION DOLLAR BOND
ISSUE DECLARED VALID
Supreme Court Sustains
Contentions of City
Attorney \u25a0\u25a0'\u25a0\u25a0'\u25a0
The. supreme court has sus
tained the validity \u25a0of Oakland's
recent park bond issue of $992,000. In
bji opinion -written by Justice' F. TV.
Henshaw and unanimously concurred in
by the court the proceedings followed
by City Attorney J. E. McElroy have
been sustained In^ every particular.
This gives Buch a substantial title to
the bonds that the Oakland city ad
ministration expects to realize a hand-/
tome premium when they are offered
for sale August E~
Some technical Questions involving
the point whether the provisions of an
act of the. legislature of IS9S were re
pealed by.an act of 1902 relating to
park bonds, were raised by prospective
bidders. In order that any possibility
cf doubt as to th» validity of the bonds
snight be eliminated a friendly suit was
decided upon to get a supreme court
decision. City Cleric F. R. Thompson
was directed to refuse to sign the
bonds as- the law required. Mandamus
proceedings were commenced imme
diately. Briefs covering the law ques
tions were filed and the decision which
was rendered by the supreme court
yesterday settled- the points.
City Attorney McElroy of Oakland
said. that. .he .was .pleased with the
idecislon, as It. confirmed his view of
•what was the proper procedure with
relation to the bond issue.

Machine Republicans of the
Thirty-Fourth Fail to Agree
Harmony M^
Factions Brings Greater: Discord
By George A, Van Smith
Thirty-fourth j (district i machine republicans t are j suffering from ; an f attack
of, premeditated harmony , which • threatens- disastrous .results ; f or] thejlseveral
gangs , infected ? and -: bids fair •to deliver : the /district into fthe j- hands r of : the
decent rank indfilej of ; the s; party. *> \u0084, /' 1" ,'. \ ' : V* \u0084 '. ,i J.
: The harmony meeting! held \ Monday, night at • a Seventeenth - ; street"* hall
resulted in : a free: and ; highly, colored; discussion of the political records 6f
the/more prominent' harmonizers; two overflow " :harmonyl? confabs f held -tin
the open air* and 'a: general scuttling **
for cover by the dealers in several
brands of. harmony which were* tapped.
The harmony test- was ." promoted", by
Charles .Rabin, 'Dell.jß.^Bowley and
RobertvStrahle, three ; of . the district's
five representatives on the city >' and
county; \ committee.' .'They >•', also; h an
nounced ' *. that i- Williams • Adams',/ ; - the
Ryanite member of the city 'and county
committee,- would co-operate* with them
in the preliminaries,' which'were,to;re
sult in the pacification, of; the. district,
but they .faUed .to, produce, Adams in
the flesh. ' : '\u25a0;'• ' '"\u25a0' ••" . '
. The alluring feature of their prelimi
nary announcements was that:the_lead
ers of the several factions . in . the dis
trict had "agreed to agree": and that as
a result of their harmony meeting, there
would be but one .thirty-fourth district
republican, delegate ticket at the 'pri-;
mary election.' \u25a0 :'c , . '\u0084. . .
FIVE FACTIONS PBESEXT \
The one"' ticket program produced im
mediate if not -all of the results - ex
pected. The leaders of several factions
prepared •to ac«:pt the situation with
becoming resignation, if they were per
mitted to select the ticket. Five more
or less important >wirigs of the; grand
old party were : present' and, accounted
for. before the segregation of peace con
ferences.which came later.- - .
The Crimminswing. had the half .of
two leading representative -harmoni
zers. llabin, the chairman.'tried to,rep
resent'both the city and com
mittee, and the rejuvenated . i-ailroad
manipulator, I AI Duffy, who wants, to
be tax collector, split his influence be
tween himself and Crimmlns.
Maestretti, datto of the sovereigns
of America, was there in the person of
Fred Severance, Joe Nyland, who would
accept-a supervisorial billet: if a. grate
ful people insisted, and Al A. Ritter:
The .interests of the city and county
committee were backed by the: undl r
vided support of Dell Bowley, wh<j
threw down his old partner, John Daly,
two years ago and voted for Chairman
Davis at the command of Herrinl ; Com
mitteeman Strahle. who wants to make
a noise like a supervisor, represented
himself in the Quest of harmony. The
Ruefltes were marshaledby Chief Tuits
and his coadjutor, Joe Taffe, who acted
as secretary until the peace conference
broke up Into sections so widely sepa
rated as to make the .".of 'one
secretary*' wholly inadequate.'
TCITS SEEKS FOR PIE
" Tiiits set the ball in motion. He
went to the peace. powwow to get.a
piece of the pie to be cut up later. He
announced that he was for honorable
peace at any price, but, like Roosevelt,
he purposed to have some of the profits
of peace or kick up a row.
. Al Duffy scouted the practicability, of
peace . on ; any such terms as suggested
by the pacific Tuits. He. Informed the
peace delegates that Tuits was entitled
to nothing in the way of recognition
and that , the " Ruefite as a peace pro
moter was a doubtful proposition. With
statesmanlike control of his .emotions,
Duffy performed the painful duty, of ex
posing Tuits as a> shameless- political
huckster who was trying to sell his'in
fluence to Arthur ; Fisk. • Duffy: inti
mated that -he might be willing to en
ter Into an agreement for armed neu
trality with Tuits untainted by: the post
master, but that he must'decllne -to
sully his political reputation'by further
consideration of any • one associated
with the arch villainies of Fisk.
Severance and- Nyland, loaded ;. with
the Maestretti brand of
got the : floor long enough to* denounce
Rabin and Duffy as double' cross experts
who were -trying to, program' the; dis
trict for their own-base purposes before
an unknown, delegate • butted in with
the assurance that: Rabin was trying to
promote .the "kind of harmony ordered
by Phil Crimmins.
PEACE PROMOTERS IJi ( WAR^
Tuits recognized his finish: and flung
a motion' to 'adjourn into -'the' teeth tof
the snarling peace promoters. * .Tuits'
motion precipitated a "happy debate
against which a parliamentarian: finally
raised a". point of order. The polntiof
order did the business/ - Pendingrita
disposition- the conference moved .into
the street. Rabin- called all bets off
and marshaled' his -own: followers back
Into; the hall'_ to "brew- a" pot of peace
after his own recipe.- --\u25a0
'\u0084'. Tuits organized an 'independent peace
conference ,under "a • street". light,Jwhere
he' announced', formally.; that; he -would
bare his sword, slash \u25a0 the Go.rdlan ;knbt
and : enlist with the"; honest ; republicans
rather than subscribe to a Rabin-Maes
tretti committee peace pact that picked
no. plums for. him. • : .
Severance : : called an . \u25a0 independent
meeting on' another^corner.^but while
he was 1 counting \ casualties several s of
his; trusted \u25a0*;• lieutenants ; raced with
