GOVERNORGAGE may not In-

tend to applaud all grades anddegrees of embezzlement of pub-lie money in his appointment of

• men to serve under his adminis-tration, but lie seems to be going downthe line of defaulters and picking outrare specimens. To keep Burns andRickard company the Governor hasappointed as Supervisor to fill a va-cancy in Calaveras County Charles M.Burleson. The records show that Bur-leson, who was postmaster at Moke-lumne Hill, was arrested for embezzle-ment in 1895. Regarding the arrest TheCall of July 24, 1895, published the fol-lowing Information:

Chales M. Burleson, the ex-postmas-ter of Mokelumne Hill, was beforeUnited States Commissioner Heacockyesterday on a charge of embezzling$1100 17 of the Government's moneywhile in office. He was held to answerbefore the United States Grand Juryand gave bonds m the sum of $3500.

Burleson while postmaster got his ac-counts into a tangle, and when an ex-amination of his stamps and cash onhand was made by Postoffice Inspect-or Erwln the above shortage was dis-covered.Further Inquiry concerning tin- em-Further inquiry concerning the em-

Dezzh ment was made yesterday in theoffice of the clerk of th.' United StatesDistrict Court. Among the papers thereon file is the Marshal's return of theorder of arrest. It reads as follows:

In obedience to the within warrant,Ihave the body of Charles M. Burle-son before T. H. Day. Justice "of thePeace of lumne Township, of Cal-ifornia, this 20th day of July, A. D.1895. before whom the within named'.'. M. Burleson gave a bond in the sumaf $3500 for his appearance in the Dis-trict Court on the Ist day of August,

1895. BARRY BALDWIN,United Slate;. Marshal.

By H. M. MOFFERT.Deputy Marshal.The complaint sworn to by PostofficeThe complaint sworn to by Postoffice

inspector Erwin is also among thepapers; and so that it may be legiblyplaced in the Executive's scrap-book atSacramento The Call presents the sali-ent points <>£ the complaint :

Charles M. Burleson, on the 9th dayof September, lv.:;. within tlie jurisdic-tion of th" I'nited States and of 'hishonorable court, "to wit. at th( town ofMokelumne Hill.County of Calaveras,Stat* and Northern District of Cali-

| fornia, then and there being, and beingthen and. there a person employed In |and connected with the business andoperations or" a money order postoffice,to wit. as postmaster of the UnitedStates at the said town of AlokelumneHill,in charge of the postoffice of saidtown, which said postoffice was thenand there a monej order office of theUnited States, did willfully,fraudulent-ly and unlawfullyand feloniously con-vert to his, the Bald Charles M. Burle-son's own use and emhezzle the sumof one thousand one hundred and fiftydollars and seventeen cents' ln gold andsilver coin and other lawful money ofthe United States, which said moneywas then and there a portion of themoney order funds of the UnitedStates which had been secured by him,the said Charles M. Burleson, Into his,the said Charles M. Burleson's, pos-

• session by virtue of ids trust as suchpostmaster.

A bond in the sum of $3500 was givenby Mrs. Emma E. Wells and Henry It.:Greene of Alokelumne Hill to guaranteethat Burleson would appear before theUnited States Commissioner.

Some Interesting facts regarding theembezzlement were not brought to pub- Ilie light at the time of the arrest, but ;the records of the Postoffice Depart-ment at Washington, D. C, have beenrecently examined and they are now

. produced:When the discovery was made that

Burleson's accounts were crooked Post- ,office Inspector Robinson was sent toMokelumne Hill to demand the pay- jment of the money due the Government.Burleson, when first Interviewed, prom- jised to make good the shortage within

'two hours, but the promise was notkept. Promises were subsequently madeand violated. The amount of the short-age was not paid until Burleson was re.moved from office, arrested for embez-zlement and brought to this city. Afterthe money was paid the United StatesDistrict Attorney placed the matt be-fore the Grand Jury, but the latterbody, in view erf the fact that Burleson

'

had made restitution of the stolen jmoney, did not indict him.

The story comes from CalaverasCounty that Gage appointed C. M. Bur- ileson i' fill a vacancy in the CountyBoard of Supervisors on the recom-mendation mainly of Varney Gaskill,secretary of the Paris Exposition Com-mission. it is asserted that the Repub-lican organization of the county, backby Senator John It. Davis, Assembly-man H. S. Blood and Alex Brown of theState Board of Equalization, indorsedanother man. The vacancy was causedby the death of Supervisor John R.Smith, an I the man recommended forappointment by Senator Davis and jother leading Republicans is the sonof the deceased Supervisor.

The appointment of C. ai. Burlesonwas made by Governor Gage on AprilIT. Burleson qualified on April 20.

The Call last night received thefollowing message from CalaverasCounty:

When the measure was Intro-duced in the Legislature to reorganizethe State Harbor Commission and placepatronage to the amount of $300,000Into Burns' fight for the Senatorshlp,Davis managed the opposition to thebill In the Senate. It was common gos-sip when the fight was hottest that theGovernor sent for Davis and asked theSenator to abandon the fight. TheSenator refused to take orders from theexecutive department and so Incurredthe wrath of Gage. The man recom-mended by Senator Davis was promptly"turned down" by Gage and Burlesongot the place.

HOW GAGE MADEGENERAL OTIS SICK

STORY OF SEAMANS' APPOINT-MENT.

Mystery of the Governor's Most Re-markable Selection for the Head

of the National Guard IsNow Solve-..

The Grand ArmyVeterans and NationalGuardsmen are yet wondering why Gov-ernor Gage appointed Captain W. H.He.-, mans to be adjutant general. Theycannot imagine the reasons which inducedthe Governor to make this rather remark-able lection. It Is true that CaptainBeamai a Is tall and handsome. On paradehe presents a fine figure. The Governorhimself is a beauty, but not quite asbeautiful in repose as the new adjutantgeneral. Still, the suggestion that thechief of staff should match the comman-der-in-chief In point of personal comeli-ness Is not accepted as a clear explanationof tho selection.

A story comes to The Call which mayclear away the entire mystery. WhenGage appointed his friend and Dan Burns'friend. Walter Parker of Los Angeles tobe expert for the State Board of Examin-ers General Harrison Gray Otis, com-manding the Los Angeles Times, was In-dignant and gave vent to his indignationIn his paper. The newspaper Insinuatedthat the appointment was discreditable.When the Governor. road the Times' com-ment on Parker's case it came to his mind—or rather, his head— that there was oneman in California for whom General Otisentertained the most supreme contempt,and that one was W. 11. Seamans. In-stantly perceiving an opportunity to cud-gel Otis, the Governor turned to one ofhis secretaries with the remark: "I willannounce an appointment that will makeOtis sick. Fill out a commission- for W.H. Seamans for adjutant general."

The foregoing is, no doubt, the truestory of Seamans' selection to fill, theposition of adjutant general. Word comesfrom the south that the appointment didmake Otis sick, but the sickness causedby the selection is not confined to anyparticular class or section. It is spread-ing throughout the State. Otis' case isonly one of one hundred thousand.. \u2666 . ,—.

This was decided yesterday at' ameeting of the Election Commissioners.it was also agreed that City and County

Attorney Bane, who Is a member of tlio-'commission, shall act with Attorney Cle-

!ment inall matters pertaining to the suit.Attorney Collins, who represents the

county officers who are seeking to retaintheir places In spite of the new chart*and who have tiled a suit against theRegistrar and the members of the Boardof Election Commissioners, appeared be-

ire the commission with a tormal de-mand that in the call for a primary elec-tion the nanus of county offices be ex-cluded from the list of offices to be filledat the" municipal election to be held InNovember, lie asked that the commit--:Blon deny tile' demand in order thai liemight apply to the courts for a writ ofmandate. The Supreme Court, he said,ii. bearing such a writ would necessarilybe compelled to go Into the merits of thecontroversy and a speedy and lasting de-termination of tin- merits of the conten-tion of the county officers would thus bebrought about.

Commissioner'Lane

'favored such a

course for the reason that ii would bringthe matter to a speedy issue and thus pre-vent embarrassment and delay. He saidthat it such a step were not taken Attor-ney Collins would be forced to resort toinjunction proceedings at some later day.Inasmuch as the county officers are de-termined to test their right to retain theiroffices iiwould be better, he thought, tohave the question of their right to do sosettled by the courts as speedily as pos-sible.

Mayor Phelan was not in favor of facili-tating the matter in any manner. lie saidthat he believed the proper course to pur-sue would be for the commission to ignorethe demand and thus force the officials toresort to such other remedy as the courtssee fit to afford them. This view of thecase was not supported by the other Com-missioners, but at the suggestion of Com-missioner Lane final action was postponedfor one week in order to allow- of certainchanges in the formal demand made bythe officials through their attorney.

As originally presented the demand in-cludes the names of Assessor Dodge andCoroner Hill. 'Both these officials denythat they desire to become parties to thesuit on the ground that they do not wishto oppose Inany way the provisions of thenew charter. Their names willbe strickenfrom the list and at the next meeting- ofthe commission a resolution will be adopt-ed formally refusing to comply with thedemand to exclude county offices from thecall for a primary election. Attorney Col-lins will then apply to the Supreme Courtfor an original writ of mandate, and uponthe hearing of this writ will depend thefinal determination of the contention ofthe county officials.

HIS WORKAPPROVED

The Master of ExcelsiorLodge Receives a

Badge.

Excelsior Degree No. 2, IndependentOrder of Odd Fellows, met last night toconfer degrees on candidates, and the at-tendance was so large that the hall Inwhich the meeting is usually held was toosmall, so by courtesy of Templar RebekahLodge there was an exchange of halls,and Memorial hall in the Odd Fellows'building was crowded to its limit. Thework of that team was not the only fea-ture that attracted. Another feature wasthe presentation by S. <;.'Whitney of Occi-dental Lodge, on behalf of the Odd Fel-lows of San Francisco, to A.K. Kingsford,for six years connected with the degreelodge and for four consecutive years itsimaster, of one of the most magnificentbadges ever presented to an Odd Fellowin this city. It was a token of apprecia-tion of the zeal of Mr. Kingsford for theorder and for the energy he displayed dur-ing his long connection with the degreelodge to continue it in the standard ofefficiency to which he brought it.

The gold badge, which cost $250, has atthe top the all-seeing eye; under it is a'view of the Golden Gate with a blazingsun just reaching the horizon; above thisis a valuable diamond, while under it arethe three links, representing Friendship,Love and Truth, the first being a link ofdiamonds* the second of sapphires and thethird of rubies. In the center of thebadge Is the picture of King Solomon Inenamel of different colors, while under-neath Is the motto of the order and theyear 1899. The inscription on the reverseis: "A. K. Kingsford, Degree Master ofExcelsior Degree Lodge No. 2, from theOdd Fellows of San Francisco, June 10."

The language of the presentation waseloquent, and the response was a model ofmodesty. The pleasant event was followedby addresses suitable to the occasion byThomas Case, W. A. S. Nicholson, GrandSecretary George T. Shaw. Past GrandMaster J. H. Simpson and vocal selectionsby the Knickerbocker Quartet.

RAILROAD CRAFT INTHE GRAIN SCHEDULE

Farmers Receive No Benefits Froma Bogus Reduction.

The New Freight Rates Do Not Affect Centers of Trafficand Are Established for Routes Over Which

Grain Is Not Shipped.

THEtrue effect of the new grain

rate schedule, as adopted by theRailroad Commission, is rapidlybecoming known and will soonbe seriously felt by farmers and

shippers. Under a sham and pretense

of forcing the Southern Pacific Com-pany to accept an average reduction of

10 per cent in grain freight rates theRailroad Commissioners have actually

increased and not diminished the ratesat important points and in grain cen-ters. J. C. Stubbs and his corps ofrailroad workers have cunningly andcraftily arranged a new schedule which

i seems to be a reduction and is reallyan Increase.

The work has been well done in theInterest of the railroad. Railroad Com-missioners Laumelster and Blackstockwere, of course, in the secret of thescheme. The Southern Pacific authori-ties simply prepared the schedule andordered these two worthies to adopt it.Unfortunately Commissioner Edsonwas trapped into acquiescence by aplausible misrepresentation of the factsand was induced to vote for the sched-

:ule. His vote made no particular dif-;ference, as the majority intended toobey the railroad at all hazards, and

:their votes would have carried the1 schedule into effect. So another grossoutrage has been committed and an-

iother grave injury has been inflictediupon the farmers of the State.

When it became known that StubbsIwas preparing the schedule and wouldpresent it to the commission through

;the railroad puppet Laumelster," the:most stupid observer could not fail to

Iunderstand that the Southern'Pacific

jCompany intended to win its importanti fight. The fight has been won beyond

the railroad's wildest expectations ofj success. An analysis of the schedule!shows that farmers and shipper?, willj now have to pay higher freight rates!than before. In the great grain cen-

ters where the traffic is heavy andiprofitable, the rates have been left tostand as they were or have been ac-'tually increased. In Southern Califor-

!nia and the San Joaquin Valley no:changes have been made. In the Upper

Sacramento, Napa, Santa Clara andj San Ramon valleys rates have appar-;ently been reduced and in fact havej been increased.

This cunning advantage has beentaken by the Southern Pacific Companyover the farmers by decreasing therates where there is little or practically

no traffic, and consequently no bene-fit to the shippers. • Where farmershave to use the railroad in legitimate

channels of trade the freight rates re-main the same or have been actually

increased. The Santa Clara Valley isone of the most pronounced sufferersby the change. The reductions in near-lyevery case possess no more than fic-titious values to the farmers and ship-pers of the State.

But the Southern Pacific Companywas too shrewd to drag the serviceable

jCommissioners again through the mireof their own dishonor, so another

\u25a0 scheme was suggested. This was tomake an ostensible reduction of 10 percent. If a general average of the re-ductions made is struck it . will beshown that the decrease in charges

is actually 10 per cent, but that is the"joker" in the Southern Pacific Com-pany's crooked deal.

Hates which have absolutely no ma-terial effect upon the grain traffic ofthe State have been greatly reduced, insome instances the reduction being as

|great as SO per cent. But this meansnothing to the farmer, as there is prac-tically no traffic at the points thus fav-ored by the Southern Pacific Company.

The tricksters in C. P. Huntington'sservice have been enabled, however, tomake a good front and lose nothing by

the deception. An apparent averaged

10 per cent reduction has been made,the La Rue schedule has been abolish-ed and the farmers are left withouteven the redress of the courts to be-come the prey of the railroad. Thehaste with which the new schedulewas adopted indicates also the fear ofthe Southern Pacific Company thatlegally it would be at--a serious disad-vantage before Judge Morrow in thefinal settlement of the suit institutedto enjoin the Railroad Commissionfrom carrying out the La Rue schedule.

The railroad is fighting payment ofthe costs of that suit after ithad beendismissed at the request of the South-

jcrn Pacific Company. In determining;the liability for costs Judge Morrow

would determine as well the validity

!of the La Rue schedule which, throughsome strange oversight on the part of

!Herrin, had not beeen abolished whenIthe La Rue resolution was rescinded.!The Southern Pacific Company thus

found itself in a strange predicament

and hastened the preparation, presen-tation and adoption of the Laumels-ter schedule.

The adoption of this schedule de-stroys the La Rue schedule and it willbe claimed leaves nothing for Judge

Morrow to determine. Through thissmall hole the Southern Pacific Com-pany hopes to escape payment of thecosts of suit; and at the same time thenew schedule inflicts new burdens up-on the farmers. These facts add a newdemonstration that out of the railroadbuilding there can emanate nothinghonest.

Hair Crimping With a Loss.The daughter of H. A. Gottung, resid-

ing at 3010 Castro street, while preparingfor her afternoon's promenade yesterdaystarted in to crimp her hair. To do this inthe most approved fashion she lighted acoal oil lamp and placed her little crimp-ing iron over the Same. While the ironwas getting hot she stepped out to havea chat with a friend, but her stay wasbrief, as the smoke and flames from aburning room called her back. The resultwas that an alarm was turned in frombox 571, which brought the department tothe place. The lire was quickly subdued,not, however, until $200 worth of damagewas done to the property of the younglady's father.
