FOR CONGRESSVictor H. Metcalf Opens

Headquarters.

HARD AFTER MR. HILBORN

H. O. THOWBRIDGE TO HANDLETHE CAMPAIGN.

Skirmishing to Be Commenced in Allof the Seven Counties That

Form the ThirdDis-trict.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call,908 Broadway, Juno 20.

Victor H. Metcalf formally threw outnla challenge to-day to the camp of Con-gressman Hilborn. There Is no longer»ny doubt that from this time to the pri-maries the Congressional fight willbe par-ticularly lively.

The management of Mr. MetcaJf's cam-paign has been placed in the hands of H.O. Towbridge, a director of the Homo forAdult Blind. This is a new field for Mr.Trowbridge, as hitherto he has never fig-ured to any noticeable extent in politics.

as always confined his efforts to thefurtherance of mercantile enterprises andpublic benefits, but he possesses much ex-ecutive ability and no one doubts his ca-pacity to organize and be aggressive.

This morning a fine suite of rooms overtho Union Savings Bank was thrown openanrl will henceforth be the Metcalf head-

ers. Paul Shafer, ex-secretary of theIof Health, has been installed assecretary, and from these quarters thefight in the seven counties composing theThird Congressional District will bemade. It has not yet been decided howthe Congressional candidates shall electtheir or whether shall beelected at the State primaries, or whetherthere shall be combinations between Con-gressional candidates and others. These

ta caji hardly be settled until the.Republican State Central Committee ap-portions the delegates and issues the calllor the State convention.

The friends of Mr. Hilhorn have so farlimited their efforts toward his renomi-nation to sending around circulars andmaking personal appeals. Itis now prob-ablo that they willeffect an organizationami also open headquarters. A fewweeks ago Mr. Hilborn sent word to hisfriends that Congress would keep him

for some time yet, and that he couldnot be on the ground to make a personalcampaign. He stated that whatever mustone in his behalf must be done byhis friends.

NO POOL-SELLINGFOR EMERYVILLE

TRUSTEES DENY LANDREGAITSAPPLICATION.

Ex-Judge Frick Makes a ValiantFight for the Privilege

—AThreat

of Disincorporation.

f.iKLA.VP,Juno 20.— The report of the.nee and judiciary committee deny-

ing the application of T. C. Landreganand others for the passage of an ordi-nance permitting the selling of pools andmakir.tr "f books on races to be run out-Bide of the tw.vn of Emeryville was unani-mous^ to-night by the Board oi

f Emeryville.This was not done, however, until ex-

Frick made a plea for the passage. ordinance. He said: "Thissigned byi 125 voters, all of\u25a0whom aro residents and taxpayers hereIt ippreeents one-third of the propertyholders of the town. This is not a ques-tion of rafing at all; not a question oimorality, but a Question of poolselling."iou have placed your approval upon rac-ing. You have licensed it and poolselllnuupon its results here. Now where Is thudifference in selling pools and making ofbooks on tracks other than here? Whatis the difference? Ifail to see it. ItakuIt there is no difference. If there is no

\u25a0nee why is not this ordinanceed? Ifyou are going to permit pool-j-Hiing on races, why restrict It to onelocality or one party?

"Then t.ike the benefit you derive fromit. You now get $800 from the race track.

Grant this application and the expenses*?,,taxPPayersP a yers will be reduced. You raiseJjSJ'Xt annually. If this is lessened one-tmra or one-fourth itsaves the taxpayersthat. It will bring no more people herethan now congregate here. You say rac-ing is not detrimental. AVhere comes theInjuryin accepting three or four hundreddollars from another. We do not desireto be treated other than any one else. Wesubmit that you must do one thing or theother. Repeal the ordinance now on yourbooks and stop racing, or pass this ordi-nance and give the third of your popula-tion a show."A slight applause started, but was stop-

pod by a heavy rap of Ch.->'-man Christie'sgavel. The vote stood 4 ayes, 1 absent(Doyle). Mr. Frick then asked if an ap-plication for a license to run another racetrack would be passed. The chair as-sured him that ifmade in good faith itwould. During a recess an applicationwas drawn up and presented on reassem-bling. Trustee Emery was the only onoto vote against rejecting it,and that wasonly to get it to the committee.It was intimated on the side that the

defeated parties would present a petitionto disincorporate and annex to Oakland.J. Landregan refused to deny the truthof this, but said:

"That is a hereafter; wait and see."

QUITS SOCIETYFOR DAWSON

Oakland's Leader of theCotillon Departs.

TEARS FOR WILL RUSSELL

WILL SELL POMADE TO THEDUDES AT KLONDIKE.

Not Only Brains and Deportment ButGold Is Necessary to Make

a Success in SocietyNowadays.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call,908 Broadway, June 20.

Younger society is lamenting the neardeparture of Will J. Russell for DawsonCity. For the past four years Will Rus-sell has filled a large niche In the fash-ionable set on this side of the bay. Hehas been popular, and his lithe, willowyphysique has made him absolutely in-dispensable in the cotillon. To-morrowhe sails for the north.

Now he Intends to make money, orrather to take money, out of the eartharound Dawson. He has some ideas oi

his own which he will carry out in thepursuit of his object, and he doea notdoubt that he will be successful. Forthe past few days Mr. Russell, who is,

without controversy, the Ed Greenwayof Oakland, has been preparing for histrip. At first many of the bright budsof the Saturday Night Cotillon would notaccept his determination to leave themas final, but since he returned from SanFrancisco with a bearskin robe and otherKlondike aecouterments, faith is placedin his ambition to go north.

There is good reason for the lamenta-tions accompanying Mr. Russell's depart-ure. For three years he has been a so-ciety leader. As a climax to his so.-ialsuccesses he last year organized the Sat-urday Night Cotillou, which was a bril-liant success. He personally led the ger-man, and has probably danced more thanany social aspirant in this county. He isa born dancer, and has certainly dancedhis way into favor. He now realizes thathaving left college something more thanbrains and the ability to dance is neces-sary to continue successful. He, there-fore, has decided to forego kid gloves,white neckties, pr.tont leather shoes,creased pants, plug hats, enormous canesand occasional diamonds for the roughergarments necessary in an Arctic climate.

"Once out of Oakland." said Mr. Rus-sell, "then good-by to the ballroom, thedrawing room and Broadway. Iam go-Ing on a practical expedition, and do notpresume that Ishall find as much pleas-ure in society in Dawson a-s Ihave foundin Oakland, but Ido expect to find moremoney. Iam taking with me an assort-ment of pomades, anti-mosquito prepara-tions, perfumery and similar stuffs whichIhave procured in large lots, and therewill be no ceremony in the manner inwhich Idispose of them. I_.guess Iamable to stand on a street corner, gathera crowd and sell my wares for ten timeswhat they cost me. By this means Ishall make my expenses to the gold mines.Ishall captivate my crowd with the samerecitations and the same sleight-of-handtricks that Ihave used in the Lakesidedistrict, and the rest will be easy. No,Ishall not announce my engagement untilIreturn."

ASTORY FORTHE MARINES

Two Men Who WantedFree Rations.

PITY FOR A POOR DESERTER

A BUSE, AIDED BY UNIFORM,THAT WORKED WELL.

Drinks and Meals Were HeartilyGiven by the Generous to the

Poor Fellow Supposed to Bein Custody.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call,908 Broadway, June *20.

Two Individuals whose wits are certain-ly of a high order are working this sideof the bay between Port Costa and Oak-land greatly to their own benefit.

One of these gentlemen wears the garbof a marine, and the other wears ordi-nary citizen's clothes. A few days agothey entered an office at Pinole and ask-ed to be connected with Mare Island bytelephone, to make a report about a de-sertion. The connection was denied themso they took a walk around town. Themarine appeared to be dragging his com-panion in a forcible manner wheneverthey approached anybody, but when noone was looking the two appeared to beon very intimate terms. They went intoMr. Boyd's blacksmith shop and as Boydis a Deputy Sheriff he always has hand-cuffs handy. The marine told Mr. Boydthat he had a deserter and begged theloan of a pair of handcuffs. The de-serter and the marine then proceeded totake in the town. With his prisoner inirons the marine led him into various sa-loons, and as he told pitifultales of howa deserter would be surely put to deathfor his crime, glass after glass of foam-Ing beverage was placed before them.

After drinking all they could the ma-rine and the deserter went into Mrs.Lennard's section-house dining-room andate two heavy meals, no one dreamingof suggesting that a marine and a de-serter should pay for anything, and thecouple marched off.

They next went to the editorial sanc-tum of the gentleman who publishes thePinole Times, but there they struck asnag. Their story of the horrible deathawaiting the deserter did not take, andthat Pinole editor suggested that they getout of town on the double. They werelast seen on board the train going to-ward Oakland and the deserter was stillhandcuffed, but no one believes that themarine "and his deserter" were anythingmore than two livelybeats.

HOME OF TRUTH.

Theybegan work in this city in a very hum-ble way, occupying iirst a couple ofrooms, then a cottage, and now the mostcommodious house in the city.

WATER FORTHE PRESIDIO

Supervisors to Petitionthe War Department.

BOSWORTH STREET GRADE

THE JOLLY JOKER OF THERAILWAY COMPANY.

Property Owners May Grade a Streetfor the Benefit of Street Car

Magnates—

Street Inirprovements.

The Board of Supervisors has takenup the fight of the Presidio as a camp-ing-place for troops and has passed aresolution which wlll'be presented to tnaSecretary of War. The resolution waspresented by Supervisor Delany and is

as follows:Whereas. The Presidio military reservation

In Oils city containing i? tn acres of land, own-ed and occupied by the United States Govern-

ment lacks a proper water supply and Is Im-perfectly drained, and for these reasons cannotaccommodate the soldiers sent to this city;and•whereas, by reason of this lack of water and

imperfect drainage the military authoritieshave been unable to find camping room on the

•Presidio grounds for all the soldiers, and havetherefore established a camp of from 10.000 to11,000 men on private and ur.sewered blocks di-rectly to the windward of the most populousportion of the city: and, whereas the placing• of from 10.000 to 12.000 soldiers on these city

blocks unnecessarily exposes the soldiers to de-moralizing influences and also menaces theirsanitary welfare and that of the city.

Resolved, that Hon. Russell A. Alger, Secre-tary, of War, be and hereby is earnestly re-quested to take steps looking to the creationof a proper water supply for the Presidio mili-tary reservation and for the proper seweringof the military reservation with a view to put-ting It In position to accommodate the thou-sands of soldiers now

-camping on private

grounds, and the thousands who willnecessar-ily be concentrated here from this time for-ward. . .

The resolution will be sent on to theWar Department as quickly as possible,and the Supervisors hope that there willbo an end of camps in the heart of thecity before-long.

An order to grade Bosworth, Miltonand Currier streets between Missionroad and the Mission Park and Zoo Tractwas finally passed. The -streets men-tioned run through the vegetable gar-

den district, and in some places are astnucb. as forty feet below grade. Itwillfey* *great deal of money, to raise,- the

streets. In the meantime there is onfile in the office of the Supervisors a pe-tition of the Market-street Railway, inwhkh a franchise over Bosworth streetIs fi«ked. As the resolution ordering thegrade has been passed, it willonly meanthat the property-owners will have toput Bosworth street in condition, and-then the railway company will step inand take possession.

A resolution ordering the payment tothe City Street Improvement Companyof $976 50 for the pavement of Lombardstreet between Broderick and Bakerstreets was passed to print, and a pro-test against the acceptance of the streetfrom one of the property-owners was re-ferred to the Street Committee.

Professor Stanton of the Cogswell Col-lege was at the meeting yesterday to putin a word aginst the removal of theCogswell fountain at the junction ofCalifornia, Market and Drumm streets.The merchants in the vicinity want thefountain removed and to erect in itsplace a flagstaiZ for a national flag, butProfessor Stanton and a few others ob-ject At the meeting the professorstated that he and his class would agreeto repair the fountain and make it athing of beauty if the city would onlyallow it to stay, and in pursuance of hisrequest and of that of the other protest-ants the matter was referred to theStreet Committee, despite the fact thata favorable report had been madeupon it.

Bids for the repairing of accepted

streets for the next two years were re-ceived as follows: City Street Improve-ment Company, $47,770; Flinn & Treacy.

J44000- J. H. Bir.Kham, $30,000; San Fran-cisco raving Company. $32,333; E. Sulli-van $47,000. The bids were referred tothe'

Fire Scare on Twelfth Street.\u25a0OAKLAND, June 20.—The Fire Depart-

ment was called out shortly after mid-night for a basement fire in the paintand paper house of L. N. Cohbledlck onTwelfth street, between Franklin andBroadway. Officer Clark prevented whatwould have resulted in a serious coi fla-gration by discovering the smoke comingup through the sidewalk d»or. No flam-a«e was done other than the. breaking oftwo locks. The fire was the result ofspontaneous combustion and the burn-ing material was carried nut and theblaze quenched on the pavement.

IN SAN FRANCISCOTHE GREAT FEATURE WILL BE

THE PARADE.

There Will Be About Eight ThousandUnited States Soldiers in the

Procession.

The Fourth of July committee, whoseheadquarters are In the California Hotel,is busily engaged In perfecting arrange-ments for the celebration of Indepen-dence day. At a meeting of the execu-tive committee It was decided to hold theliterary exercises in Metropolitan Temple.Grand Marshal Alfred A. Borllnl will in-troduce the president, Joseph E. O'Don-nell, who will deliver an address^ whichwill be followed by the singing of "TheStar-spangled Banner" by Miss Merrill ofthe Tivoli.' The orator of the day willbeJohn J. Barrett. W. W. P^lnnie will singa solo entitled "On to Spain," and theDeclaration of Independence will be readby Julius Kahn. The programme willconclude with the singing of the "RedWhite and Blue" by Miss Daisy Mac-Keane. Inaddition to the above featuresthe, committee intends to secure the ser-vices of some well-known quartet of sing-ers. "The Fourth of July poet" will notbe called upon this year.

The principal feature of the parade willbe the military,as it is expected to havebetween seven and eight thousand troopsin line. The line of march has not beenfinally determined, but in all probabilityit will be down Montgomery street,thence on Montgomery avenue, thence onKearny to Market, and Market to "VanNess avenue. It Is claimed by the com-mittee that this celebration willexcel anyprevious display of the kind ever seen inSan Francisco. Several novelties are incontemplation which, if successfully pro-duced, willprove great attractions.

The Board of Supervisors has appro-priated $2(XK) for the celebration and thecommittee proposes to keep the expensewithin this limit and not to call for anycontributions. The heaviest item of ex-pense will be the music, owing to thepresence of so many military organiza-tions.

As to decorations the merchants will horequested to use for that purpose themoney which they have hitherto spentwith the committee. It is believed thatin this way more elaborate decorationswill be made than have ever been seenin San Francisco on any similar occasion.A circular embodying the above sugges-tion will be sent to the members of theStock Exchange, the Produce Exchange,the Merchants' Exchange, Board ofTrade and other business bodies.

The coming celebration will be markedby the greatest enthusiasm

—greater by

far than has characterized the nationalholiday for many a year— owing to thewar with Spain, which has awakened thespirit of patriotism throughout the entireland.

Look Out for the Train.A judgment by the Superior Court of

The judgment wasreversed, the higher court holding thatthe plaintiff well knew the time trainswere accustomed to pass the point atwhich he was injured, and his being in theway was contributory negligence. The Su-preme Court states that a steam railroadtrack of itself is a Bigs of danger andone should inform himself if it Is saf» tocross the track before making the at-tempt.
