THE FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, MARCH 21, 189 13 —— e e e Nl St e e e e 18 WHAT OAKLANDS | GOUNCIL HAY Do, BASSETT WILL MAKE AN EFFORT TO REDUCE LOCAL RAIL- ROAD RATES. MAY ALSO FIGHT THE GATES. AN OpPosITION TELEPHONE Com- PANY Is PROSPECTIVE OVER THE Bay. Councilman - elect Bassett, known as 'Old Pard” Bassett, because of his cele- | brated Huntington letters, intends to make | the new Council a lively body. ‘Hno of the very first movements Mr. 1»_a~~eu will favor is in the nature of a blow at the Seventh-street local branch of the Southern Pacific Railroad. He has | never liked the idea of ‘gates and fares on that line. He has other reforms in view, 100. In speaking of needed legislation in | land he said yesterd | g to make a study and find | bat are the needs of Oakland that | supplied by legislation. I have re- this city eighteen years, and dur- ing that time I do not know of a Council that was unanimous on any subject that was of vital interest to Oakland. I willdo | «ll T can to bring about unanimity on such Ve not as yet given the subject full | ht. but it is my intention to intro- an ordimance reducing the fare on the | shortly after 1 o’clock yesterday afternoon place under the city government who runs after it. I do not propose to recognize any person who is out for a place. “If there are any sure things afloat I may upset some of the plans that may have been fixed. I think the people will find T am very peculiar in connection with the patronage question.” Revoked His License. The petition of A. B. Dixon, asking that the license granted John A. Munson by the Berkeley Town Trustees to conduct a saloon at 3284 Adeline street be annulled, was granted by Judge Ellsworth yesterday, on the ground_that the nine signatures on Munson’s petition were not qualified to sign under the ordinance, which says that “at least five of the signers must be resident owners of adjoining property. One on Knight. Public Administrator Knight will now have to recall his petition for letters of administration on the estate of Lady Yarde Buller that was filed in such a great rush when the cablegram was re- ceived that the lady was dead. Later news says that it is the mother-in-law that is no more. An Oakland Finish. The finish in the great 100-mile relay bicycle race around the bay will be in Oakland, although the course has not been measured. It is the intention of President H. F. Winne to have the last rela; irt Lake Merritt and finish near the ness center of the city. ALAMEDA, D. R. Coldwell, a W member of the Boar st End druggist and of Health, died at his residence, 635 Santa Clara avenue. He contracted the grip a few weeks ago and had partially recovered when he suffered a relapse. The attending phy- sician gave up all hope Tuesday night, but he lingered until yesterday afternoon.

In the affidavit filed by Attorney F. B. Joseph it was charged that Stone had made an attempt to compromise the case of Maria de N The Albion, Lumber Company by ng the woman to take a small amount of money and leave the country, thereby causing Attorney A. B. Hunt. who had advanced money to fight the case, to whistle for his fees. R Judge Frick held that while Stone’s in- terference in the matter was unwarranted, it was not clearly shown that he was in contempt, and the action was dismissed. The High Fence The high board fence squabble between John Troy, the well-known insurance agent, and Charles Davis, who drives the patrol wagon, was settled in_Police Court yesterday, but not to the satisfaction of all arties. pd‘isheen the case was called a demurrer to the complaint was filed by Troy’s attorney, who argued that a contradiction in the statute invalidated this particular law in regard to high board fences, and the case was taken under advisement by Judge Woods, who will render his decision Fri- day.

The Independent Taxpayers’ Committee met on Wednesday evening, and a sub- committee was appointed to draft a set of resolutions and a piatform, and to have them ready jor their next meeting on April 6. The Non-Partisan Executiye Committee held a special session and decided to hold their convention in Odd Fellows Hall, March 80.”” Tt is expected that 140 dele- gates, twenty from each ward, will be pres- ent. A bold burglary was attempted in the plumbing establishment of Frank Thomp- early yesterday morning. It is supposed that the burglars were intending to crack the safe of J. K. Stewart, the grocer, and to get at it by way of the plumbing shop. They were fright- ened away before their object was accom- plished. Several similar burglaries, and a few hold-ups have taken vlace in Berkeley recently. Notes. The new Babcock and Wilcox 104 horse- power boiler, which has been under course ing for some time, is about finished. It will furnish steam to run_the new engine, which will take the place of the old gasoline motor. At the charter-day exercises, which will take place in Harmon gymnasium on nex+ Saturday morning, Professor E. E. Greene, | representing the faculty, will deliver the address of the day. He will be followed by ‘Warren E. Lloyd, who will speak in behalf of the student body. Rev. Dr. Wythe will officiate as chaplain. Professor Irving Stringham has just commenced the erection of a fine, eight- room cottage on the upland back of the university grounds. Professor C. C. Plehn will soon build a two-story residence for his own use near the campus. ¥ It was decided on Tuesday evening by the School Directors to_discontinue the night school at the West End on account of the small attendance and decreasing interest. WANT BETTER ROADS. Oakland Wheelmen to Make an Organ- ized Fight for Them. Two committees from the Reliance and Acme clubs of Oakland met Tuesday night at the Reliance Club parlors to protest against the condition of some of the streets and roads in Oakland. The gentle- men present at the meeting were: John A. Britton, S8eth Mann, F. E. Whitney, A. P. Swain, G. A. Faulker and A. L. Black. Their main objection was against the new water company which has left the streets in a disgraceful condition. It was expected that the streets would be torn up to enable the company to lay their pipes, but it was also expected that the company would leave the streets in at least as good a condition as they found them. This they have not _done. As a result, the indigna- tion meeting of Tuesday night was held. It was decided that the clubs did not de- sire any amendment to the sidewalk or- dinance. As long as the streets are in con- dition to be traveled by wheelsand car- riages, the wheelmen are willing to leave the walks for pedestrians. But they do want the stre in proper condition to warrant their use with safety, not only to the wheels, but to the persons of the riders. s % The committee decided to wait upon the City Council and the Board of Supervisors and state their position. Before doing this they wished to be re-enforced by the other athletic and bicyele clubs of Oakland. An invitation has been extended to each of these clubs to send a committee to a gen- eral meeting to be held on April 2, at the Reliance Club and regresenuuves will then be chosen from each club to see that the rights of the wheelmen are protected. \THEY WILL DISCASS HOME AND POLITICS, OAKLAND LADIES MEET TO TALK OF THE COMING WOMEN’S CONGRESS. FAMOUS SPEAKERS EXPECTED. MaN, HowevER, WiLL ONLY BE ALLOWED ONE SMALL SPEAK- ING PART. An enthugiastic preliminary meeting of the Woman’s Congress Association was held yesterday in the hall of the First Presbyterian Church, Oakland. A number of representative women were present, from Oakland as well as from Berkeley, Alameda and San Francisco. Mrs, Sarah B. Cooper presided, and the following mem- bers of the executive board and of district boards occupied the platform: Miss M. L. Lambert, Mrs. Baldwin, Rev. Eliza Tupper Wilkes, Mrs. Judge, Mrs. Ada Van Pelt, Mrs George T. Gaden, Mrs. Helen Camp- bell, Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Stetson, Mrs. W. E. Hale and Mrs. Garrison Gerst. Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper said: 1t gives me great hopes for the success of the congress to be held next May when I look at the large eudience, for it has passed intoa proverb that whatever Oakland ladies take 0ld of goes. Last year the keynote of the congress was woman; this year it will be home. You see we have made a step forward and included man. We shall only allow men to take & small part, however—just one speech a day—to show them what a minor role l‘ley have allowed us in the past. The speaker added that no Congress could be really perfect unless men and women co-operated in it. The audience npf\lmulcd when informed that Susan B. Anthony and Rev. Anna H. Shaw had promised t0 be present during the entire proceedings, as well as Mrs, May Wright Sewell and Mrs. Battell Diet- rick. The president, in pointing out what had been achieved by these four women, re- marked that even those who did not advo- cate suffrage, must admire Miss Anthony’s work along other lines. Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Stetson made a speech which left her hearers in no doubt as to the objects and desires of the con- gress: People have to come together in order to progress, and of the two halves of mankind the better half has hitherto been prevented from meeting. You know the old proverb, “A woman must leave her home three times— to be christened, married and buried.” This, though, is the 'woman’s century, as Victor Hugo called it, but in order to grow they must meet. This year we have taken the word “Home” as the subject of the congress. Some people have thought it was a limited one, but that shows how little they know about it, for home is the beginning of life, and in many respects the end of it. The speaker then told her hearers that they had much to learn about the home ? We don’t know good plumbing from bad, and yet it affects_our health and tempers and those of our children. We think that po! are not our affair, and yet politics are responsi- ble if we have bad water and bad drainage. It is not enough to keep your own yard clean. It is intended to have these subjects treated by the best authorities at the congress, and, re- member, it will be free to all,asif the women of California in fact gave a magnificent enter- tainment to the public. Mrs. Dr. Van Kirk said that the Oakland were taking an active interest in jon, and Mrs. Helen Campbell made an address, expressing the belief that the congress would bring about the union of all that was best on the Pacific Coast. Mrs. M. C. Teats gave an‘account of the Legislature, which proved conclusively how sorely home influence is needed there, and M a Van Pelt, Miss Whittaker, Miss_Moliie Conners and Rev. Eliza Tup. per Wilkes made speeches which were ap- plauded. PRESIDENT DEBS LECTURE. HE WILL TELL WHO WERE THE .REAL CONSPIRATORS IN THE STRIKE. MR. HoGAN, THE ADVANCE Man, TELLS OF THE PROGRESS OF THE A. R. U. Eugene V. Debs’ advance agent, James Hogan, a director of the American Rail- way Union, completed the arrangements yesterday for the lecture in Metropolitan The Man Who Is to Have a Big Reception. [From a photograph taken since the big strike.) Temple on Tuesday evening, the 26th inst. The proceeds of the lecture will go to the benefit of the American Railway Union on the Pacific coast. Mr. Hogan said yester- day: I anticipate a large attendance at the lecture in this city, for the workingmen understand enerally that the subject matter of President bs’ lecture covers the whole Puliman strike and boycott. He will show that the General Managers’ Association had formed a conspirac: for the reduction of wages, and had establishe an employment bureau 10 Oppose any resist- ance that might be made by the nmg’loyn to the reduction of wages. President Debs will also show that nearly all the violence committed during the strike was encouraged by the Gen- eral Managers’ Association. The attitude of the courts will be presented and the penalties explained, The lecture will cover the question of constitutional American liberty. The American Railway Union is progressin at & rapid g:g:z. Many of the old branc! unions are being reorganized and new ones formed. It is now being conducted on a basis of secrecy to avoid blacklisting by the railroad companies. Theodore Debs, brother of President Debs, s now in the city. He has come on here from Terre Haute, Ind., for the purpose of relieving R. M. Goodwin, manager of President Debs’ lecture tour. Mr. Goodwin will turn his atten- tion to the organization of unions on the Great Nortnern and the Northern Pacific raiiroads. Referring to the conflict between Presi- dent Debs and John M. Egan at Seattle on Tuesday last, Mr. Hogan said: Mr. Egan was Chairman of the General Man- agers’ Association,and was in the employ of no railway at the time of the strike, but was spe- cially employed by that association to conduct the conspiracy. He was discharged from the Chicago and Great Western, where he had been a general manager. . e is doing all he can by his talk {o discour- age the reorganizatton of the American Rail- way Union, but he will accomplish no ill re- sults. The history of the manis well known and his bad standing with the Chicago and Great. Western was made public through the press by President Stickney of that road. e A DELIBERATE SUICIDE. Rosa Donohue Was Deserted So She Took Her Own Life. ‘“‘Suicide” was the verdict of the Coro- ner’s jury yesterday in the case of Rosa Donohue, alias Hayes, who took her life in a house of ill-fame. It was expected that some excitement would be developed when Emanuel Pinner, | the friend of the woman, was placed on the stand. His testimony, however, was | only to the effect that he had known Rosa. | Donohue about eight months and that he | had never contemplated marrying her. | On one occasion she flew at hlmglike a termagant and he then cast her off. Never- | theless he never thought for an instant that she contemplated suicide. WITH UAMEI&AEAN]] TRIPOD LOCAL AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHERS PREPARING FOR THE SPRING. A BICYCLE ANNEX TO THE CAMERA CLUB—THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. Local amateur photographers are at present busily engaged in preparing for the forthcoming season. Cameras are being overhauled, lenses repolished and plate- { holders renovated in anticipation of the | time when the weather is the most pro- | pitious and the light quickest. The California Camera Club has recently made some additions to its quarters, which will add greatly to the convenience of the members. Amongotherimprovementsare a good supply of new backgrounds, an 8000-power electric arc light for enlarging and reducing, a drying-box with warm air supplied with a dynamo, and dressing- | rooms for ladies and gentlemen. A studio | has also been erected on the top floor of the | Academy of Sciences building, which is : to be better lighted than any in the city. | In fine, the rooms of the California Camera | Club, as now fitted up, equal if not excel those of any club in the United States, | while they certainly compare favorably | with those of European photographic asso- | ciations. | The last outing of the present season | will be held next Sunday at Alviso. Lieu- | tenant H. B. Hosmer has invited the mem- | bers of the club to his shooting lodge, and | according to the published notice car- | riages will be in attendance to convey the | members from the train to the lodge, not- withstanding the fact that _the distance by actual measurement is 150 feet. In the aforesaid notice members are notified that | the culinary department will be under the | care of the host himself, who_will provide “‘clambake” for the entertainment of his | guests. |~ A demonstration was given at the rooms | of the California Camera Club last Wednes- | day evening on pyro development by Fred | Swasey. The lecturer handled his subject |in a very entertaining manner. Dr. E. E. Eisen is making a new hand camera on his own lines. The instrument iill possess every movement or swing known to photo- graphers, and it is said will be a revelation to local amateurs. A bicycle annex has been founded in | connection with the Camera Club. Prom- | inent among the users of the wheel is Will Goodrum, who, in addition to turning out some splendid specimens of view work, is devoting a great &sn of his time to por- traiture. The first Tuesday in Agril has been fixed | as the day for the presidential contest of the club.” Competition for the position is | hardly as keen as it was last year, most of | the attention of members centering around | Captain Thayer and Lieutenant Harry B. | Hosmer, with possibly a preference for the latter. It is not known, however, whether either gentlemen will run for office, though considerable pressure is being brought to bear on both candidates. | The platinotype process is attracting | much attention” at the moment. William 8. Hochstadter is an ardent student of this branch of the black art. EARLY'S LIFE A BURDEN. Conductor Morton Carried a Lead Pipe and Impersonated a Footpad With Startling Effects. Conductor Early of the Geary-street line finds life is hardly worth the living, and it is all due to his expressed contempt for footpads. A few nights ago several conductors were discussing the holding up of the car on the Jackson-street line by Wilson, Smith and Frazer, when Early in a determined tone of voice remarked that it would go hard with any footpad who came fooling around his car. Conductor Morton, who rooms with Early, heard the boastful remark, and made up his mind to put it to the test. His car reached thefiaower-house one night last week ahead of Early’s. "\He had procured a slouch hat, a long overcoat, a mask and a piece of lead pipe about the length of a revolver. He took up his station benind a fence in an alley on Second avenue, be- tween Point Lobos avenue and Clement street, and calmly awaited developments. It was about twenty minutes to 1 o’clock in the morning when Early reached the alley on his way home. Morton sprang from his hidingiplace. pointed the piece of leadpipe at Early and gruffly oré)cred him to throw up his hands. ‘With a yell that startled the neighbor- hood Early turned and fled. As he ran he kept yelling ‘‘Murder! Police!”” and the frightened residents sprang out of their beds and peered out of their windows at the fleeing figure of the conductor, who did not cease running until he reached the ower-house. He ran so fast that $2 40 in imes and nickels was bumped out of the side pocket of his coat. ‘When he mustered sufficient courage to get home Morton was in_bed. Morton asked him what had kept him so late, and he replied: ‘“You should have been with me to-night; I was held up by a footpad, who had a gun that apfieared to be a yard long and had one of those muzzles that you can_shoot baseballs out of. Was I I was. Ididn't scared ? Well, I should sa{ five him time to rob me, could.” Morton mnna%ed to keep a straight face with difficulty; but next morning he could hold out no longer, and told Early of the trick he had played upon him, much to his rage and disgust. The story leaked out, m'u}il _Early’s life has now become a burden to him. In Bad Sanitary Condition. City Physician Somers presented a complaint to the Board of Health at its meeting yester- day regarding the condition of the City Re- ceiving Hospital. He said that the sanitary condition of the_ institution fllrol;fh lack of ventilation was bad, and that serious conse- quences might result if steps were not taken at oncawmmlfi-u and renovate it. He sug- ested that as there was no present means of eating water for the bathing of the patients, that apparatus be purchased, but on being in- formed that the Board of Health had no power to purchase heaters, asked permission 10 ad- dress the Board of Supervisors on the subject, which was granted. Dr. Somers also stated that the experiment of keeping insane patients in the hospital was a flat failure, and that some other place of de- tention should be provided. ut ran as fast as ORIENTAL AND NAPOLEONIC, T00. . OBJECTS OF ART IN THE PARK| MUSEUM WILL PROVE A SURPRISE. VARIED ATTRACTIONS THERE. A LARGER AND A FINER COLLEC- TION THAN Has BEeN Ex- PECTED. When the public visits the museum in | the park next Saturday afternoon it will be surprised. There is much to attract. There are objects of art well worth a pro- tracted study. Many of these have been seen at the Midwinter Fair, but there is much that is new, and the varied collec- tions come very nearly making a complete museum. Nearly everything has been put in place, | and all that remains to be done is a touch here and there to perfect arrangements space devoted to vertibrates. The speci- mens are in a fine state of preservation. There are also fine collections of moths | and butterflies, representing several hun- | dred different species. The park now has a creditable museum. There is more to be seen there than the { public which intends to visit the place | next Sunday now anticipates. THE EXEROISES ON SATURDAY. | Presentation of the Key of the Museum to | the Park Commission. At the exercises on Saturday afternoon General W. H. L. Barnes, who was chair- man of the original finance committee of | the exposition,will be president of the day. An interesting feature will be the presen- | tation to the Park Commissioners of the | key to the museum. This will be made by | the director-general. * 1 A richly wrought golden key, in an elab- orate case, will be handed over to Joseph Austin, who will receive it on behalf of the Park Commission. At the same time the standard of the Midwinter Fair will be low- ered and the California bear flag hoisted in | its place. After tne ceremonies the museum will be thrown open to the public. There is being erected a grand stand for the spectators, fronting the grand court, | which will be snrmunsed with flagpoles, | | from which will be flung flags and ban- | | mers. | | JOHN M. HERING'S NIEOE. | | She Died and the Uncle Was Not | Notified. | John M. Hering, a German, called on | the Mayor and health officers yesterday to UNDER THE SKYLIGHT. 5 [Sketched by @ “Call” artist yesterday.] | and the unveiling of the more precious ob- | complain of the manner in which the jects of art. In one way the museum may prove a disappointment, and that is in the absence of fine paintings. To be sure, there are a number of studies from life and several excellent landscapes, but if the fund avail- able had been expended for paintings the number might have been doubled, and that would have exhausted the money and left all but one of the ronms of the building bare of attraction. The chief treasures are in the annex, es- pecially constructed for their preservation, and of this the royal pavilion is the great feature. Here are exhibited the Napoleonic relics. The ceiling is arched and_beauti- fully frescoed, and the walls are brightly ornamented. Many of the choicest relics A Japanese Treasure. [Sketched by a “ Call” artist.] of the first empire are exhibited here. To the south a small alcove-room contains the famous statue of Napoleon. In the rear isaroom devoted to Norwe- gian carriages. The annex has its own front entrance, but is connected with the main building by a doorway cut through the wall, The original structure has been greatly changed in its arrangements. The Egfir- tian ornamentations have been freshly tinted and the entrance newly tiled. The great central place under the sky- light is devoted to figures in marble and bronze. To the right the marble figure entitled “The Promised Land’’ stands facing as a counterpart the ‘“‘Maiden With the Water- jar.”’ A Soudanese in bronze, tinted in all the glowing colors of savagery, forms one of the interesting figures. A bust of Gro- ver Cleveland and one of Empress Josephine find places in this room. There are several figures which have not yet been unveiled. Around the halls are hung engravings of celebrated faintings and well-remembered Midwinter Fair scenes. : The great Nogoya vase, by 8. Buzuki, stands conspicuously in this room. Directly in the rear is the armor-room. Here are grouped various forms of armor preserved frof the days of chivalry, when the knights rode out to do battle in suits of mail. Obsolete weapons and cannon of the revolutiona:( type form an adjunct to the suits of mail. But the two great collections are those of Napoleonic relics and the art treasures of Oriental work. One large room is de- voted to Oriental art as applied to pottery. This is said to be the finest and most com- plete exhibit of the kind on the Continent. In another apartment is a fine collection of coins, rare and ancient. Other rooms are devoted to colonial relics, in which the loom and the spinning-wheel and the flint- lock musket find place. Curios from_every land under the sun are here, and there is a very fine cabinet collection of minerals. The upper floor is largely devoted to the taxidermists’ art, and every branch of the animal kingdom finds representation. The display of fishesis a very fine one, and there are many ornithological speci- mens. Bison and moose and caribou are among the larger representatives of the body of his niece, Marie Itzon, was treated by the authorities at the City and County Hospital. He stated that his niece had died in the institution, but that he had not been notified’ of the fact for several days after it occurred, and that when he called at the hospital he found that the corpse had been sent naked 1n a coffin to a medical college. He thought it should be Eropcr]y clothed and that he should have een notified immediately on her death. ‘‘Marie Itzon did die at the hospital,” said Dr. Titus when asked about the mat- ter, “and her body was sent to the Califor- | nia Medical College, as is the custom when | the relatives do not call for the body of the deceased. We never send them any other way than wrapped in a sheet, and this course was pursued with the body of this woman. Had her uncle called for the body it would have been turned over to him without question. *‘We formerly sent bodies wrapped in a shroud, but it was expensive and t%e sheet does just as well.” The records of the Health Office ‘show that consumption was the cause of the woman’s death, and that her body was sent to the college named by Dr. Titus.

THE SALE MADE YESTERDAY. ONE FIRM LESS IN ALASKAN WAT- ERS—RIVALRY AMONG SALMON MEN. The Alaska Packers' Association has re= duced the opposition in salmon fishing in Alaskan waters. R.D. Hume & Co. have retired from the envied territory, their cannery at Karluk having passed over to the combine yesterday. Negotiations toward this end had been pending for five weeks, both parties hag- gling over the purchase amount. This matter having been finally settled the deal was concluded yesterday. Hume & Co. are the pioneer packers on the coast, but up to two years ago their Sal- every- Hume mon was plentiful in A body seemed to be going that way & Co. set up a canne; Two in Karluk in 1893, asons have evidently been enough for the firm, and it has concluded to with- draw. Several of the combine’s vessels in- vaded the fisheries at Rogue River, and although there was no opposition can- nery set up, considerable damage was done to Hume & Co. After the deason of 1893 had closed Hume & Co.’s cannery was set afire by some unknown party or par- ties and the entire town of Gold Beach was destroyed. Hume & Co.have been at work ever since rebuilding their works. i up and the schooner Berwick is now taking in the machinery at Folsom-street wharf No. 2, and will sail for Rogue River in a few days. The combine will operate the Hume can- nery at Karluk this season, the only op- position there being the Alaska Improve- ment Company. This institutian has also a cannery at Nushigak, and will have four vessels up north this The bark Fer- ris 8. Thompson, which was to have been sent to Karluk by Hume & Co., has been bought by the Alaska Improvement Com- pany and will sail shortly. The opposition will send, besides the Thompson, the bark Harvester, the schooner Premier and the barkentine Merom. The Harvester will be the first of the fleet to get away, and she will take with her a small steam launch which is to be put into use on Karluk River, and which, it is expected, will cut quite a figure in the amount of fish caught by the Alaska Improvement Company. The Pacific Steam Whaling Company will op- erate its cannery at Copper River this year, so the season in Alaska promises to be uite brisk from a point of rivalry. The lewellyn J. Morse, which is now outfitting at Howard-street wharf, will be the first of the Alaska Packers’ Association vessels to get away for Karlu Suit Against the Railroad Company. W. H. Mahoney has sued the North Pacifie Coast Railroad Company in the Justice’s Court for $203 damages and costs for the failure of the corporation to fulfill the obligations of a commutation ticket sold to the plaintiff. The complaint llk‘fex that the ticket called for one round trip daily by the company’s steamers and trains between San Francisco ‘“ddLl"k- , last, the plaintiff presented his ticket at the San Francisco end of the ferry and was informed that it would be useless to cross the bay as no trains were running between Larkspur and Sausalito, the other terminus of the ferry, and that no means of transportation could be furnished. e He Used Canceled Stamps. Gustay Braunschweiger of Stockton, accused of using canceled postage stamps, pleaded guilty in the United States Cirenit Court yes- terday. Judge Morrow fined him $500, but as he could not pay that amount he was sent to the Stockton County Jail for thirty days. e London has 50,000 female clerks. Removes wrinkles and all traces of age.
