Meeting Rings Warlike
Yet Is Not Resultless
State Regent and Vice
Regent Re=Elected at
Session of D. A. R. ,
Palo Alto Chapter Wins
Victory When Vote
Is Challenged
Fidelity to historic origin marked
the annual conference of the Daughters
of the American Revolution yesterday
and war was the predominant note of
the day's session. The main achieve
ment was the re-election of the state
regent, Mrs. I. N. Chapman of Alameda,
and the state vice regent, Mrs. If. F.
Thayer of Pasadena.
Several of the speakers pleaded that
peace prevail In the organization, and
the parliamentarian, Mrs. Annie Little j
Barry, read a lecture to the combatants
on the value of peaceful and forgetful
methods. Every one agreed audibly
and heartily in the abstract, but when
the time for voting arrived the peace
dove became a scraggy, battle scarred
bird.
The meeting was railed to order at
10 o'clock by Mrs. Chapman. Invoca
tion?, greetings, responses and the like
filled the" first hour, and then came the
first clash when the report of the com
mittee on credentials was read by Mrs.
W. B. Metcalf.
ALLOTMENT CHALLENGED
The Palo Alto chapter was allotted
one vote, which was promptly chal
lenged by Mrs. J. M. Fernald of Ala
' meda. -She declared that precedent had
been established for the nonadmission
of this chapter two years ago, as the
membership was insufficient.
Statistics were on hand to show that
"the Palo Alto organization was large
enough, had paid enough, and was in
every way conforming to the rules and
regulations and required specifications
sufficiently to be allowed in, and fur
thermore it had been officially recog
nized by the national organizer. So
Palo Alto was given its vote.
Before the assembling of the regular
delegates to the state conference for
the afte.rnoon session a, meeting was
called of the delegates to the conti
nental congress, to be held in "Wash
ington, l>. C, in April. The object of
gathering was to elect the state
and the state vice regent.
PRK!»IDI\G OFFICER CHOSEN
ftrat of all came a discussion as to
the presiding officer. Mrs. Frederick
Jewell Laird objected to Mrs. Chap
man assuming that duty, as she was
not a delegate to the national con
vention. Finally a vote was taken
and Mrs. Chapman was chosen.
. Then came the matter of nomina
tions.
Home mysterious influence known as
"Stilson feeling" or "Stilson work"
seemed to be much in evidence. This
was found to refer to the former state
regent. Mrs. Stilson of Los Angeles,
whose election two or three years ago
was so bitte.iy contested that the ani
mosities created then have never died
down.
Mrs. I. N. Chapman was declared to
be a "peace candidate" when elected
last year, but her opponents declare her
to be the choice of those branded "Stil-'
eon daughters."
DOMINATES SOUTHERN CHAPTERS
Nearly all of the southern California
chapters, who are well represented at
this conference, are said to be domi
nated by the powerful Mrs. Stilson, in
direct opposition to whom are Mrs.
John F. Swift, Mrs. Laird -and Mrs. Fer
nald of Alameda among others.
It was expected that there would be
but two candidates In the field, Mrs.
Chapman and Mrs. S. W. Wiley of
Fresno, but surprises were sprung at
the last moment.
The first surprise came when Mrs.
Chapman was nominated. Mrs. Mary
Howard Gridley of Los Angeles was
also named. Mrs. Wiley arose and ex
plained that she withdrew from the
contest in favor of Mrs. Gridley.
Some one remarked that Mrs. Wiley
had not been nominated, so she couldn't
■withdraw. It was explained that Mrs.
"Wiley would have been named had she
permitted it.
Mrs. Osgood Putnam, regent of Cal
ifornia chapter of San Francisco, said
that her chapter was in favor of peace,
quiet and entire accord. She was not
conversant with the dissensions in the
organization save by hearsay, but she
v,ns convinced that the only way to
restore peace was to choose some one
not involved in any factional dispute.
She then named Mrs. J. L. Moody of
this city, who had been abroad for
some years.
CONDITIONAL CANDIDATE
Mrs. Moody had said she would be a
candidate if her name was not sent
around beforehand so that she could
be talked about.
Mrs. Fernald said that Mrs. Gridley
had said she would .gladly be a can
didate, but her own chapter in Los
Angeles would never support her, as
it was a "Stilson chapter."
Mrs. Maynard Force Thayer, state
vice regent, rose at once with a point
of order, saying tha£ she objected to
having her chapter thus designated, as
2Vlrs. ytilson was not a member of It
and never had been and there was no
reason for such an appellation being
applied.
Mrs. D. M. Hammack, Mrs. T. B.
Dozier and Mrs. T. M. Bartlett were
appointed tellers and they collected the
29 votes cast. It was insisted by the
entire body "of representatives that'the
count of ballots be audible and that
the usual custom of tellers of retiring
to a secluded nook be forbidden.
EVERY O>E AT COUNTING
When the count began every woman
in the room had a pencil and a bit of
paper and counted so audibly that the
tellers became confused, the parlia
mentarian was compelled to request
silence and three times to start the
tellers afresh. The result was: Mrs.
Chapman, 18; Mrs. Gridley, 8; and Mrs.
Moody, 3.
The nominations for vice regent were
Mrs. Thayer, the incumbent, and Mrs.
H. G. Wright of Hollywood, resulting
in the victory of the former with 19
votes.
The regular afternoon session was
called to order in the other hall. After
a vocal solo .by Mrs. W. H. Waste, Prof.
E. I. of the State university
spoke on "Some Phases of American
History."
Reports of state officers filled the
last hour, the only ripple of excite
ment being occasioned by the treas
urer's report. This was read by Mrs.
C. W. Moores and objected" to by Mrs.
F. J. Laird.
It was declared that Mrs. Fernald,
who was treasurer last year, had never
parted with her books, and as her suc
cessor knew nothing of funds on hand
or anything of the sort when she en
tered her office, the report was of
necessity incorrect.
The parliamentarian again soothed
matters by saying that Mrs. Moores'
report had dealt entirely with the
money received and disbursed during
her tenure of office.
The session this morning will open
at 9:30 o'clock, and will close with a
luncheon at 1 o'clock at the Hotel
SteWart, j .^

WOMAN DRAMATICALLY
RELATES LOVE STORY
Mrs. Lillian Belle Haskell
Becomes Hysterical in
Murder Trial
(Special Dispatch to The Call)
SACRAMENTO, Feb. 20.—More than
a score of women wept and several
men shed tears as Mrs. Lillian Belle
Haskell, on trial for the murder of
Frank I. Fischer, told on the witness
stand the treatment by Fischer which
she declares drove her to kill him. Her
story was told between sobs and tears
and lasted about half an hour. She be
came hysterical at its conclusion and
shrieked at tffe top of her voice.
Mrs. Haskell's story was that she
lived with Fischer upon his promise
that he would marry her. She paid
thej rent of the apartments and all the
living expenses from a fund of about
$2,300 which she had, and besides
bought clothes for him. He was work
ing as a bar tender at the time and
invested his money in real estate. His
love for her grew cold, she testified,
and he stayed away from home so fre
quently that she was driven frantic.
When he refused to pay house bills
after her money was expended she be
came desperate and on December 7
sh»t him down in X street.
A dramatic incident occurred during
the trial, when Mrs. Catherine Stevens
pitched forward from her chair on the
witness stand and fell in a dead faint
on the floor three steps below.

GEARY STREET RAILROAD
Lincoln Park Clab Does Not Favor
Corkscrew System
At a recent meeting of the Lincoln
Park Improvement club the Geary
street road committee made a report
concerning the route. Other matters
of importance to. the western section
of the Richmond District were dis
cussed.
The railroad committee did not favor
the corkscrew system for the road
west of Thirty-third avenue, as it
would involve extra expense for the
city.
Lighting Geary street in the Rich-
Aond district was debated and re
ferred to H. L> Beinfield, 11. J. Kessel
and Dr. C. S. Tanner.
RIFLED MANY MAIL BOXES
Fedcal Authorities Lenient With Boy,
W ho Will Go to Reform School

whose home is in Dayton. 0., arrested
for rifling rural mail boxes, was turned
over to the police of Oakland yesterday
by the postofttce inspectors. The boy
is wanted in Oakland for a minor of
fense, and it was thought better to
have him committed to a state reform
echool than to send him to a federal
penitentiary.

pany, requested a continuation until
10 o'clock next Monday morning.

Attorney Olney requests a speedy
trial, and said his clients would plead
not guilty.

said he did not desire to conduct the
case out of court and that he would
engage in no controversies until the
legal phases of the case were consid
ered before the bar of justice.

CAPTAINS OF VESSELS
BLAMED FOR COLLISION
Charges Against Masters of
the Seminole and the
Corcoran
Captain B. N. Rideout, master of the
steamer Seminole, sunk t»y the steamer
Corcoran in a dense fog off Angel
island last Friday, and Captain P. A.
Anderson of the latter vessel, which
turned turtle after the collision, were
charged with negligence yesterday by
Inspectors of Hulls and Boilers James
Guthrie and Joseph T. Dolan. Their
trial, was set for next Tuesday morn
ing at 9:30 o'clock.
Besides the two masters. Pilots A.
Smith and C. F. Christensen were both
charged with negligence and unskill
fulness and will also have 'to stand
trial.
(aptain Rideout has admitted in a
report submitted in regard to the acci
dent that he was at breakfast when
the crash came. He had been notified
before the collision that danger was
ahead.
From the preliminary investigation
it appears, so it is said, that the acci
dent could have been averted if the
respective captains had been at their
post on the bridges.
