In Oakland, on May 8, waa one of the members of or Qlllett'a party, which went to Ban Diego to help welcome the Jack-lea to California watera.

Colonel Oier is enthusiastic over the reception given the fleet at San Ilgo It v. a one of the grandest spectacle that he ever witnessed, says Colonel Gler. and ever since his return from the south last Wednesday after-iMMin, he has pralted San Diego's hospitality and her ability to "do things." and he trusts that when Oakland is given her turn, she will be able to her rivals In lavish entertainment. Fun Never Stopped. "Oakland will have to hustle," said Cli nel Dler.

"If she wishes to out-do r.er aouthern neighbors. Why! I never mk anythln like It. San Diego raised 1 10. OOP to entertain the fleet, and had one continuous program prepared, from I o'clock In the morning Until 11 clock at "It wag fun. frolic, feast, and a good time all tha time.

Cheer after vlteer arose aa the sailors of each battleship passed. Wonderful Spectacle. "It is almost impossible to give an adequate description of the grandeur and pieasure of the reception at San Oltgo The electrical illuminations on board the ships at night mere simply arvelcus.

"I only hope Oakland will try to make the ahowlng that Bat Diego did. fche car do It If she will get In and try. but she will hove to hustle, and inlfrttt? hard.

too. Only a Starter. "Some good work will have to ba done right away. Most of the officers to wltcm I had the pleasure of speaking, expect a great reception In Oak- Tha room of the Board of Supervisors was thronged this morning with ladles and gentlemen, all of whom evinced a great deal of interest In several protests against the granting of liquor licenses. The first case waa that of M.

J. Cavanaugh of NlleaThe case of Morgan at Meyers was continued till May It. Cavanaugh had the requisite number of legal signers on his application. After the filing of the application, a petition waa filed algned by Mrs. Mary Bet era.

A. O. Bernard Enos and Manuel Lopes, who were among those who signed the application, asking that their names be withdrawn from the application. Thla petition was circulated by Edward A. Ellsworth.

The removal of tha four names In question, deprived the original application of the number of signatures required by law and the question arose as to whether the names in question could be removed from the application. Cavanaugh was represented by L. A. Church and Max Marcuse. The Protestants were represented by A.

Leach. Church said that he understood the people who. It was said, had withdrawn their names from the recommendation, desired to allow their names to remain on the document. Wants District Attorney's Opinidn. Acting Chairman Kelley said he would like to have the district attorney present because that official had rendered an opinion as to wTf-ther names could be withdrawn after a document had been nied.

At that moment District Attorney Brown appeared and Attorney Church atated the facts of the case, sitting forth that, through the 'filing of tha petition, the board had acquired jurisdiction In tha matter and that a request for the withdrawal of name could not be granted. Max Marcuse argued that If the withdrawal of namea should be allowed It would be tmpoaaible for any person to know when his application would be given proper consideration. It would defer and delay and cause an latermln-ar-le amount of annoyance. Mr. Church said that In this case all the slgn-ra of the application were qualified to algn the document.

District Attorney Brown aald that the question Involved had not been preaented to him. He aald. however, that the queatlon waa whether, when a person signed an application, bound hlmeelf to the person for whom he algned. Ha did not think that auch was the case. A per-eon might algn an application at a certain time under the Impression that the person for whom he was signing was all right.

Later, the signer might conclude that there waa reaeon why he would Ilka to withdraw his name. He thought that. In such an event those who desired to i withdraw their names could not be considered petitioners. Supposititious Case. These people.

Mr. Brown aald. algned the application. Suppose they should say that they had signed tha Instrument In ignorance of certain facts and after learning the facta they had come to the opinion that they did not want their names to remain on the application. Mr.

Marcusa aad Mr. Church said there would be na question about that, but. la thla Instance, there was nothing of that kind, for the yeaaon that the people. It waa alleged, asked to have their namea taken off the application were present for the purpose of showing that they desired their namea to remain on the paper. Right to Withdraw.

District Attorney Brown said that he thought any person had a right to withdraw his or her name before the appli cation had been fully acted upon. Decide to Take Testimony. It was decided to examine the people who It was reported wanted to have their names withdrawn from the application. Mrs. Betelta waa a worn and testified through an Interpreter in Portusuoa that she desired to have her name appear on Cavanaush's petition.

On croaa examination Mr. Leach asked If the witness had been told she could not go to church unless she took her name off the application and the woman replied In tha negative. She was asked If she had been told thst nobody would have anything to do with her If she did not take her name off the petition and she aaid that she had not been told that. She stated In response to other questions that aha had signed a paper presented to her by Mr. Ellsworth.

The paper tn queatlon waa the one which aet forth that she dealred to withdraw from the application. She also said that she had signed one paper and her daughter another. 113 Mr. Church asked the woman If alio desired to have her name remain on Cavanangh's petition or on the withdrawal which she had signed for Ellsworth. She said she wanted to have her name remain on the application.

Withdrawal of Name. Leach asked why she wanted her name to remain on the application aad withdrawn from the Ellsworth paper and she replied that It waa because Ellsworth had never bought anything from her family. A. G. Duarte testified that he dealred hla name removed from the Ellia paper because Cavanargh was a good man.

B. En oa aaid he had signed the Ells-' worth paper but that he now desired to withdraw the eisnature and to have It remain on the Cavanaugh application. Ha owned property near the Cavaaaugh saloon. Talked to Enos. Leach Inquired who had asked him to take hla name off the Ellsworth paper and Enos replied that nobody had spoken to him about withdrawing.

Hi wanted Cavanaugh to get a license because Cavanaugh had never done him any barm. Manuel Lopes teatlfled that he waa desirous of having hla name withdrawn from the Ellsworth paper and to have It remain on the Cavanaugh application. Tells of Lewd Pictures. J. O.

He was asked to describe the pictures. Batchelder said he did not like to do that In the presence of so many women. Supervisor Keliey said that the ladles who desired to do so could retire from the room. An laey among the spectator named Mrs. Pow Bauder of Frultval rose and said: "We are the mothers and sisters of the young men who have looked at these pictures and we want to near all about it." None or the ladle left the room.
