THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, MAR 8, 1895. 13 M OAKLAND OVERRON WITH BURGLARS, THE POLICE SEEM POWERLESS TO SUBDUE THE EPIDEMIC OF THIEVERY, THE “SOAP KING'S" STOCK. L WEEDING Out HERETICS IN fHE BERKELEY BAPTIST CHURCH. Oakland is overrun with thieves and burglars, and the police seen utterly un- able to check the epidemic of crime. The thieves do not seem to be after money alone, for they carry off everything in sight that is portable, and there is no doubt that in one instance at least a horse and wagon were used to carry off the plun- der, as nearly a carload of stuff was re- moved. Neither do the gentlemen of the jimmy and dark lantern pick upon any particular quarter, for they have left their footprints in Bast and West Oakland and among the business houses of Oakland proper. 1 only one instance has there been any- thing near a capture, and that was on Monday morning last, when Special Officer ers took & shot at a fleeing thief, who had a sack of silver plate on his back, stolen from the residence of George Faulk- ner, on Alice street. Detective Holland blames Ayers because he did not arrest the man when he saw him, instead of calling on him to halt and telling him he was an officer. This is the one instance in which there w as almost a capture. There are many in- stances, however, in which the police are all at sea. Thursday night last the residence of Robert Johnson at Twelfth and Wood streets was entered while the family was away and money and valuables to the amount of $500 was stolen. The family went out at 7:30 p. M., and at 9 P. M. a son of Mr. Johnson came home and found the house in the utmost confusion. Mattresses were ripped open, drawers turned upside down, and this was thecase in every room. The thieves secured a gold watch, four gold chains, three pairs of earrings, gold pins, cuif buttons and considerable money. Entrance was effected by forcing a window with & jimmy. The residence of Mrs. M. H. Simpson, at Telegraph and Simpson avenues, was en- tered on Sunday night last. The family was in San Francisco, but the thieves did not enter the house. They confined them- selves to the basement, and evidently backed their wagon up to the basement door. There was a large quantity of canned goods stored there, such as fruits, preserves and_jelly, and the robbers took it all. They did not leave a single can or glass of sweets. Thieves raided the W. C.T. U. restau- rant on Ninth street that same night. They boldly lifted the cover of the coal chute in the sidewalk and went into the asement, coming up inside the eating- house. They wrecked the cash register in securing $1 80. Then they went out as they came in. That same Sunday night thieves effected an entrance into Nolan's shoestore, on Broadway, through a back window. They turned their attention to the register there and secured $15 for their pains. The bicycle thieves also seem to be hay- ing a picnic, but the police appear to be luckier with this class o})(he ligfi:—fingercd ones. There are several people now in eustody for stealing whee?s, and at the police station there are four bicycles await- ners. Yesterday a valuable wheel beionging to Ed Pearce was stolen from the basement of the Lincoln School. The wheel was valued at $100. Another Eruption. The little Baptist church of Berkeley is gtill in a turmoil. The seeds of heresy sown by Professor Charles Woodworth, who occupies the entomological chairin the University of California, have taken root, and at a business meeting in the church last night another brother was dismissed. This time it was also a student at the university, a young man named W. O. Smith. For some time the Baptists of the old school have thought it best that Mr, Smith follow Professor Woodworth, and the student, as clerk of the church, knew well what was going on. At the meelini in question he handed in his letter, which brought the matter to a As my views are essentially the same as e expressed by Professor Woodworth I to be informed if such beliefs are incon- nt with views of members of this church, d I want action on this matter. The members did take action, and the sult was that the little church has lost sther pillar, and in the eyes of the elect esy has been strengthened. The Stock Has Been Sold. “Soap King” D. E. Dowling, superin- tendent of the Standard Soap Company, eared before Judge Frick yesterday on a citation to show cause why he should not be punished for contempt of court, in retusing to turn over certain stock to John Chetwood Jr., assignee of R. P. Thomas. In his answer Dowling claimed that he was not a party to the insolvency proceed- ings of Richard P.Thomas, but that he had bought the stock from Thomas for a valuable consideration in July, 1884, and that the stock was actually delivered to him thirty days before the insolvency pro- ceedings commenced. 2 o The stock was in his possession until the 21st of January, 1895, when it was sold to D. F. Parker, a resident of Oregon. After some argument the case was taken uner advisement by Judge Frick until next Monday at 10 o’clock A. M. Says Ludlow Falsified. E. Gardner, who says he was dis- charged from the employ of the railroad company because he was a Populist, de- clares tfiat Master of the Yards Ludlow oke falsely when he made a statement to the contrary in the public prints. Mr. Gardner says: 3 “When Ludlow states that I voluntarily asked for my time he deliberately falsifies the facts, and he knows it. I did not say: ‘I am employed by the People’s party. Mr. Ludlow did say: ‘You cannot engage in politics and work for the Southern Pa- cific Company.’ “I replied to him: ‘I am or the cam- paign and auditing committee, and cannot conscientiously iive up my right of citizen- ship.” Ludlow then responded: ‘You had better work at politics alone, and the chief clerk will give you your time. Their Quarterly Convention. A programme of more than usual merit has &en repared for the quarterly con- vention of the Alameda County Christian Endeavor Union, to be held this afternoon and evening at the First Congregational Church. The session will begin at 1:30 ck and will be addressed by M. Nardi, the converted Romanist missionary, Mrs. I. M. (:(nxdit, Mrs, Sarah B. Cooper of San Francisco, Chaplain Drabms of San Quen- tin ana Rev. James Sutherland, secretary of the Baptist Missionary Union. t3:30 in the afternoon the Junior Or- der, C. E., of Alameda County, will hold their second annual convention, and will be entertained with an mverest{ng black- board exercise by Mrs. W. G. Alexander of San Jose. ‘ ¥ No Rush for His Money. Eugene Rush, a coachman who has been in the employ of A. C. Dietz for a number of years, has brought suit against his em- Jloyer to recover on a promissory note for ‘.‘i’fl and for $780 wa%es earned between March, 1892, and March, 1895. The Irrepressible Colonel. The statesman of the marshes, Colonel ‘John P. Irish, has again returned to the fight against the Council because of its making a dumping-ground of the West Oakland marshes, and yesterday he filed a well-signed petition with the Board of Public Works, in which he asks that the garbage dumped in the marshes be re- moved and burned. | For Selling Morphine. Sergeant Hodgkins of the police force purchased a quantity of morphine from W. Patterson, the proprietor of a drug- store on Twelfth street, last night, and im- mediately placed him under arrest for vio- lating the city ordinance which makes it a misdemeanor to sell opium, morphine, cocaine or other drugs of that character excepting on the prescription of a physi- cian. The druggist says he knew nothing of the existence of such a law. Two Absent Oaklanders Die. News reached this city yesterday of the death of Willis Chamberfin, son of Mr. and Mrs. P. V. Chamberlin of this city. The Yyoung man was well known in this city and was a graduate of Stanford University. Miss Maggie Wheeler, a young lady well known in_this city and an only daughter of Mr. and Mrs Thomas Wheeler, who re- side at the corner of Twelith and Grove streets, died very suddenly in Milton last Tuesday. All for a Little Water. The condemnation suit of the State of California vs. Ann J. Styles to condemn property adjoining the State University and the Deaf and Dumb Institute for water privileges was commenced in Judge Ellsworth’s court yesterday. The Attorney-General is represented by John B. Mhoon and the defendants, who ask for $25,000 damages, are in the hands of | Attorneys Fox, Kellogg and Gray. | The Last Sad Rites. The funeral of the late E. D. Ormsby was heid this afternoon from the residence of the deceased at Linda Vista, under the auspices of Oakland,Camp No. 84, Woodmen | of the World. % A large number of friends followed the remains to the last resting place,where the beautiful and impressive burial ceremony of the Woodmen was gone through. Pictures of the Moon. Under the superyjsion of Professor Burk- halter and W. C. Gibbs, lunar photographs will be taken of the phenomena at the Chabot Observatory during the total eclipse of the moon on next Sunday evening, pro- v{)(}ing the weather conditions are favor- able. Heavy Bonds Given. William B. Owen has been appointed guardian of his brother, Victor § and qualified yesterday by giving bonds in the sum of $15,000, with Edwin Kimball and Julius Hollister as sureties. ALAMEDA. A movement is on foot to put into prac- tical operation the referendum ordinance adopted at the recent meeting of the Trus- tees in reference to public questions to be | submitted tothe votersat the municipal election. B. C. Brown, the stenographer, has the movement in charge. He was active yesterday circulating petitions for the signatures of the required 10 per cent of the qualified voters, to be presented to the Trustees at their meeting Monday night, asking them to submit to the popu- lar vote the following question: “Are you in favor of a special tax levy of 25 cents on the $100 for the erection of a building for the Alameda free library.” Before undertaking the task Mr. Brown consulted John G. Brick and G. H. Mastick of the Library Board, and received theirap- proval of the scheme. The vote would be a fair expression of the sentiments of the gubhc on the feasibility of the library uilding project. Cut Down in His Prime. E. M. Roach died yesterday morning at the home of his parents, at the corner of Encinal avenue and Oak street, of con- sumption. Deceased was a printer and re- turned only a few days ago from the Print- ers’ Home at Colorado Springs, where he went a short time ago in the hope of re- cuperating “his health. His condition, however, became worse and he returned to his home to die among his relatives and friends. Deceased wasa member of Ala- meda Parlor of Native Sons and was 25 years of age. His funeral will take place to-morrow morning and will be conducted under the auspices of Alameda Parlor. . Nominating Convention. The nominating convention of the Good Government Club was held yesterday after- noon in Linderman Opera-house. The 1ls opened at 3 o’clock and closed at 10. t was a novel convention and everything worked out as had been planned. Voting was brisk and the candidates were active in their efforts to secure votes. There were six polls arranged on the stage, and the plan involved a great saving of time, both 1in voting and counting of votes. The sim- plicity of the proceeding was its greatest recommendation, Annual Muster. The annual muster and inspection of the military company will take place on the 28th inst. Thisisa yearly event of con- siderable importance in the National Guard and an effort will be made to muster the full strength of the companies. Upon the returns of attendance the War Department makes allotment to the States of their pro rata allowance out of the national appro- priation for arms and equipments. Died in England. A cablegram was received yesterday an- nouncing the death of Ellen W. Ledyard of Garston Hill, Somerset, England, in her ninetieth year. The deceased was a sister of E.T. Ledyard of this city, and an auntof Mrs. George Frier of Santa Clara avenue. Benefit Concert. The concert for the benefit of Mrs, Olive Reed-Batchelder and Mrs. H. O. Tenny took place at Armory Hall last night. Charles Parcells, the violinist, and the California Male Quartet assisted in render- ing an unexceptionally good programme. BERKELEY. Professor Woodworth, who resigned from the First Baptist Church on account of his alleged heretical views, has written an open letter to a local paper in which he scores his fellow church members who dis- agree with him and advocates the erection of a new church. The writer claims that in dealing with the recent trouble the church has shown no observance of its four fundamental principles—iree speech. free thought, Christian tolerance an Christian charity. The letter is concluded by the assertion that Berkeley Baptists agould have a church broad enough to be in sympathy with modern thought. A Society Night. Social events abounded Wednesday night. Prominent among them were the farewell dinner party given by Mr. and | Mrs. F. M. Wilson of the Daly Scenic Tract in honor of Miss Kate McGrew, who returns to-day to her home in Honolulu, the surprise party to Mrs. W. H. Kerrison at her home on Haste street and the dinner given by Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Rickard to ALAMEDA COUNTY'S - NEW CRENATORY WILL HAVE APPOINTMENTS EQUAL TO ANY IN THE UNITED STATES. ITS SERVICE OPEN TO ALL. A S1TE WILL PROBABLY BE CHOSEN NEAR MOUNTAIN VIEW CEMETERY. The Alameda County Cremation Asso- ciation held its first annual meeting at the residence of Dr. F. L. Adams, in Qakland, Wednesday evening last and elected offi- | cers for the ensuing year asfollows: F. B. | Gibson, president; Dr. F. L. Adams, first | vice-president; Dr. John Fearn, second vice-president; Miss Eva Carlin, secretary, | and D. L. Bishop, treasurer. The plans for the contemplated crema- tory, drawn by Ross, Stone & Cahill, were adopted. It was decided that the building | should be of stone instead of brick, as orig- | J. inally intended, and that to this end $5000 | extra should be expended, making the total cost of the building $35,000. | The purchase of a site for the crematory | and work on the building will begin assoon | lied under a pledge of good faith on the part Bi'the city and county of San Franciseo, - On _the dag previous the San Francisco Board of Trade passed the following reso- lution: Resolyed, By the Board of Trade of Sar ¥ran- cisco that we heartily approve the course of the “Associated Creditors of the city and county of San Francisco” in bringing a knowl- edge of the true condition of city flgnlncel to the newly elected Board of Supervisors and the general public, and that we join in the request of the Associated Creditors made to the board that in the next tax levy an amount sufficient be included and s;;eemlly set apart to pay off these claims for indebtedness necessarily in- g}rred in the prosecution of the business of the ty. The Associated Creditors have called the attention of the Grand Jury to the state of affairs, and suggested that the jury in- corporate in its final report a recommen- dation to the Board of Supervisors that an amount sufficient to pay the back indebted- ness of the city and county be incorported in the tax levy for 1895-96, and that said amount be set apart specially for the pay- ment of such indebtedness. —————— NEW OFFICERS ELECTED. Stockholders of the Sunset Telephone and Telegraph Company Meet. The stockholders of the Sunset Tele- phone and Telegraph Company held their annual meeting yesterday and elected the following directors for the ensuing year: John 1. Sebin, Oliver Eldridge, F. W. Eaton, E. S. Pilisbury, J.C.Cebrian, George D. Greenwood, D. V. B. Henarie. The following officers werelelected: John 1. Sabin, president and general manager; C. Cebrian, vice-president; Percy T. Morgan, secretary and auditor; F. W. Eaton, treasurer. The number of subscribers’ stations con- nected with the San Francisco Exchange on December 31, 1894, was 5061, an increase during the year of 344 stations. OAKLAND’S PROPOSED CREMATORY. [Reproduced from perspective plans drafted by Ross, Stone & Cahill.] as $10,000 worth of the capital stock shall have been sold, but as this amount is nearly all raised only a few months will elapse before the Alameda County crema- tory and columbarium will be an actuality. Ample provisions will be made for not only the incineration of bodies, but for the preservation and_disposition of the re- mains of the bodies. The building pro- posed comprises the receiving-room, with vaults attached, where bodies awaiting in- cineration may be kept. An appropriate chapel for funeral services, two retorts for incineration and columbariums, with up- ward of 4000 niches for the preservation of the ashes of the dead in urns or other re- ceptacles will be the prominent features. ¥he building and_appliances will the service of all applicants, and no limita- tions of its use wilf e imposed on account of religious belief, race or color. Ames oil-burners of the same pattern as the ones now in use in Boston will be used, and bodies will be reduced to ashes in from forty to sixty minutes. The columbariums. will be of marble, with marble tablets in front on which will be placed obituary inseriptions correspond- ing with their respective contents. A peau- tiful flower conservatory will flank each side of the chapel. Specially prepared tiling suitable for the antiseptic treatment of bodies will line the receiving-room, and the interior of the cremating-room will be of light buff-col- ored brick or tiling. The two retorts will each have an_extra outside vault door. In one retort the re- duction of the casket will be going on while the body of the departed in the neighbor- ing retort is passing through the disinte- grating transition to its original elements. The crematory when completed will be the best appointed one in the United States with one exception — the Gardiner-Earl | :‘Tremntor in the Oakwood Cemetery at Toy : A)s » will probably be chosen in the vi- cinity of Mountain View Cemetery. OLD FRIENDS' BANQUET. Goodfellowship and a Fine Menu. Speeches and Songs at the An- nual Society Feast. at Friends without number, it might be said, assembled at the Commercial Hotel last night to partake of the good things provided annually for the “inner man’’ (and woman) by the Old Friends’' So- ciety. At the west end of the long table ex- Judge A. Craig presided as toastmaster. He announced shortly after 8 o’clock that the menu was at the disposal of the Old Friends and their guests. Edward Hol- land, manager of the hotel, with the assist- ance of A. Martineili, who presided over the kitchen, had a feast prepared fit for any organization in San Francisco. mep, fish, oysters, roasts, entrees, desserts, wines and everything a hungry diner-out could possibly expect had been provided. Active waiters saw that all | were served with promptness. Nothing was lacking when Mr. Craig called upon J. H. Johnson for a speech. J. J. Coffey, Robert Ferral, J. E. Slin- key, Thomas Sawyer, Charles Ward, E. C. Hisgen, N. Fass, Charles Alpass and Dr. J. S. McCue entertained the Friends with speeches, songs and recitations. All told, there were 125 *‘Friends” and guests around the banquet-board. Mirth and wine pervaded the entire room, and at alate hour good-night was said, and_the participants repaired to their homes witha positive assurance in their own hearts that they had been among ““Old Friends. Among those present were: W. A. Lane, Ernest Heymans, F. W. Croudase, A. D. Bell, Phillip Stockinger, Frederick W. Kauffman, James H. Riley, J. 8. McCue, J. E. Tucker, J. M. Nougens, R. P. Lewis, a small number of friends. School Attendance. The monthly enrollment of the schools is as follows: High School 230, Kellogg 334, Whittier 340, Le Conte 281, Lorin 241, West Berkeley 425. Chicago and Arkansas, A guest at the Palmer House arrived at his hotel at 10 o’clock. Several other gen- tlemen were discussing the wild stories of correspondents in Arkansas and other States who had sent in accounts of wolves and panthers that had attacked people, being frantic from hunger. The guest said it was not much better in Chicago. Throwing open his coat, he said: ‘I have been attacked by human wolves. My shirt studs were torn out, as you see; my pocketbook and watch were taken, and am here, satistied that 1 am living. T would rather be in Arkansas facing a hun- gry wolf than be again held up on the streets by Chicago wolves.’—Chicago Tribune. Dr. F. F. Lord, J. B. Forner, R. H. Taylor, Arthur McGurren, J. M. Rademaker, Thomas A. Tille)i: Colonel W. St. Paul Seitz and Captain Luders. ————————— THE CITY'S INDEBTEDNESS. Commercial Bodies Take Sides With Asscciated Creditors. The Board of Supervisors has been peti- tioned by the commercial organizations of San Francisco to take cognizance of the ef- forts of the associated creditorsof the city to gain a satisfactory settlement of their claims. On the 5th inst. the San Francisco Produce Exchange passed the following resolution : Resolved, That we hnrtlly:zprove the course taken by the Associated Creditors of the city and county of San Franciseo in making known to the feneml public ihe condition of our mu- nicipal inances, and that we join in their re- quest 10 the Board of Supervisors made Febru- ary 9, 1895, that a sufficient sum be included in'the tax levy for 1895-9 and especially set apari to pay these claims for necessaries sup- The average monthly receipts per tel- e]phonc subscriber in San Francieco for all classes of service amounted to $7 79, and the number of exchange connections, or switches, during the year 1894 was 6,587,- 506; miles of underground conduit, 1134; miles of underground cables, 26; miles of underground metallic_cireuits, 2173; miles of overhead wire and cables taken down and abandoned in 1894, 1702. THE CONTRACTS ARE LET. WE ARE NOT “JAY" AS REGARDS NUSIC. PICTURES ILLUSTRATED MUSICALLY ARE WELL APPRE- CIATED. ABILITY OF LOCAL TALENT. IT Is DISPLAYED AT MusicaL EN- TERTAINMENTS AT THE ME- CHANICS’ PAVILION. The assumption that San Francisco is musically a “jay”’ town is being disap- proved, so far as expenditure is concerned, by the American Concert band, which, un- der the direction of Alfred Roncovieri, is producing music for all those who wish to hear music, and good@ music at that. Al- fred Roncovieri had determined that he would prove that San Francisco was not, musically, behind the provinces, no matter what the assertions might be that were made by outside authorities. The fact that San Francisco has to-day a band of 100 pieces which is in size second to but one that ever visited or rendered any numbers in this country is purely the sult of the local enthusiasm. When ecri cisms were being made to the effect that San Francisco was ‘‘jay” in all its particu- lars and in_all its habits, Mr. Roncovieri said: I will bet any reasonable amount of money that I can pick up in San Fran- cisco a band of 100 pieces—equal in size to that of the famous Gilmore band—and roduce in this city music such as has not een heard in this'city, and prove by the production that it i3 not in any sense a ‘jay’ town.” If it was “jay” at all it would certainly be “jay’’ in music. It was upon this sociable bet that was based the present concert of the American band going on at the Mechanies’ Pavilion. So largely does charity enter into the scheme that it almost ceased to be an ex- ample of San Francisco’s appreciation of music. The days given to the French Hospital and the Mondays and -Saturdays given to various charitable organizations have proved the disinterestedness of the pro- moter of this scheme for the musical edu- cation of San Franciscans. Lest there should be any feeling on the part of the public that it was for their edu- cation and not for their appreciation the illustrated numbers have been arranged. There are no chunks of Wagnerian music | thrown at the audience in order to test | their musical susceptibility. The musical schemes are legitimate and complete. Last night there was presented the “War Memories,” by W. D. Reeves, which has been called for very often. The musical plan consists in the distribution around the Pavilion of a bugle corps. There is a reveille, then a call to guard, then guard- | mount, the pand meanwhile carrying out EAST STREET WILL SO0ON BE PLANTED WITH BEAUTI- FULTREES. WAVING PALMS AND SHADY ELMs. THE COMMISSIONERS ARE COMMENDED. The Harbor Commissioners have awarded contracts for planting the trees which are to beautify the water front, and within a few days the work of excavating on East street will be commenced. The first thing which will be done will be the digging of holes and the extension of the curbs. The sidewalks will be made three feet wider, which will bring the trees outside of the electsic poles. The sidewalks will be laid after the holes are dug and the trees are in place. As stated before, elm trees will be planted at intervals of thirty feet, with a palm between each elm. Around the trees will be iron boxes painted green. The con- tract to dig the holes has been let to A. E. | e Palms on the Water Front. [Reproduced from plans suggested by Harbor Commissioner Chadbourne.] Buckman, who was the lowest bidder, the price being $450 a hole. Each tree, it is estimated, will cost $18 to put in place, in- cluding loam, frames, sidewalks and curbing, and there will be 160 treesin all, Director Alfred Roncovieri. [From a photograph.] the plan of the composer, and at the end ‘‘tattoo.” This makes the Pavilion a mili- tary camp. The calls and counter-calls ring out to the accompaniment on a lower key by the band. The effect is complete, and the average listener believes that he has been on anarmy post for half an hour. There is another representation of scenic music called the *Night Alarm.” Up in the dome of the Pavilion there is a big bell, which sings out its note of “32."” As soon as the tones of the bell have sounded, the musicians cry “‘fire,” and there is then thrown upon a screen the picture of an engine rushing from its house. The effect is realistic, and the following motifs show the various fights that the firemen have with their enemy, the blaze. Another musical study is the number called “The Naval Battalion March.” This ortrays an American man-of-war search- ing for an enemy, and the effect is pro- duced by a peculiar mechanical contrivance which makes the search light seem to come from the vessel portrayed on the screen and search around the hall for possible friends or enemies. Mr. Roncovien wrote this march. Besides the music, there is away off in -one corner a Turkish theater, and scattered here and there half a dozen booths with pretty attendants. Each night brings a varying programme, and it remains to be proved whether or not this scheme of local musical culture shall be adjudged a success. |- Over 5000 were in attendance at last night’s concert. The immensity of the show is its great attraction. It is big— with a size that goes with big trees and other Californian growths. Roncovieri is the most dashing and original of the great musical directors, and ghe is cutiing a swath with his mnfinificent American Con- cert band that makes the sojourner from calmer settlements stand and admire. In 1380 an order was established at Cleves, entitled the “Order of Fools.” running from Market street to the end of the seawall north. The board has con- cluded not to adorn the west side of East street mnniniI south as it was first pro- posed until the seawall takes another start in that direction. / At the meeting of the board yesterday a communication was receiveds from the Merchants’ Association regarding the con- templated improvement on 5:«3 water front. The greatest satisfaction was ex- pressed at the board’s movem ent, and the association wished the commissioners ev- er% success, The board was also thanked for the work being done in keeping East street clean. The communication dwelt on the necessit; and importance of making East street af tractive to the eye, saying that it was the first to be seen of the city by the incomin visitor, and that first impressions are t most lusting. Secretary Keegan was in- structed by the board to return its thanks to the Merchants’ Association for the lat- ter’s support. The Commissioners granted to J. S. Kimball the privilege of occupying twenty- five feet of the north end oP the shed at Fishermen’s wharf, including two refrig- erators. The rental of the premises was fixed at $76 a month. State Engineer Holmes said after the meeting that the work of planting the IT CURES DISEASE!
