LATEST UAKLA_ND NEWS, THE SAN FRANCIS CQ CALL, THURSDAY, MAY 16, 1895. 13 Jacob Samuels Was a De- faulter in More Places Than One. SALVATIONIST CONVICTED. A Assessor Dalton. Raises the Rall- road—Oakland High School Relay Team: Jacob Samuels, whose shortage as secre- of the Chevra Kadusha Society was esterday, seems to have fallen »pute with the Jewish vopulation 1 on account of his manipula- he funds of three organizations into di: of Oak tion of to wh hie belonged, Several years ago, while acting as secre- tary of Pacific Court of the order of Forest- | e was discovered to be short quite a large amount in his accounts and a settle- | ment was demanded of him. He put the | matter off from time to time on the prom- ise that he would refund the money in a few d and the members allowed bhim time to settle. Before he had replaced the money he bad taken, however, the court; through a decrease in membership, decided to dis- band, and did so previous to the date set for the settlement. Later he was appointed. secretary and collector of the Beth-Jacobs Congregation, of which Rabbi Brown was then the pas- tor. His work gave satisfaction for a while, but the rabbi socn discovered that contri- butions to the church which were made bv wealthy" me mbers were not reaching the treasnrer, ‘and that Samuels’ books were not in the best possible condition. About ten months ago the relations be- tween the: echurch and Samuels became strained,.and ‘& committee was appointed to look into: his aecounts. : The books were found :in -such a condition that no head nor tail could' be madeof them and Sam- nels was asked to resigp. Though no actual- figures could be ob- tained the members of the committee were certain that a portion of the funds was missing, The - trouble’ over the shortage in the fundsof the Chevra Kaduska Society has | been settled and theomplaint withdrawn. “We have got our money back,” said 8. Ringolsky, the treasurer, Samuels can return to his family as soon as. he:pleases: as far as'we are concerned. His brothers, Samuel-Samuels, the jeweler at 1011 Broadway, ‘and George Samuels, the shoe. man at 1014 Washington street, have made a satisfsctory -settlement with the society and Jake will not be prosecuted. ‘We all-knew_ that Jake had been- crooked | in.the past, but supposed: that he had re- formed and:counld E« trusted with money, but we were mistaken., Whenwe first discovered the shortage, | b niination of. the. books, | amuels and his brothers: laughed ‘at us viien we demanded a- séttiement, but the ing-out of a warrant for Jake's ar- rest brought them to time, and we are per- y.satisfied. - He offered us a mortgage on his home when the shortage was first discovered,:but we preferred coin and we got it.” | Frank 8. Luvin, who keeps a barber-shop on lower Broadway, said that several or- ganizations to which Samuels had be- longed suffered throngh his manipulations of the funds. ‘‘Samuels’ name will be dropped from the roll of the Chevra Kadusha Society at the next meeting,” he said, “and I understand that the Od(fl-‘ellows’ Lodge to which he belongs will pursue the same course.” New Methods of Assessment. Alameda County’s Assessor has com- pleted his figures on the railroad assess- ment at West Oakland. The figures have been placed on the books and are ready to be put to the test.. They are not surpris- ing to anybody, since Mr. Dalton’s ideas about appropriate assessments are pretty well kno vyn by this time, and it was ex- pectea that he would attempt to make his iigures tally with the actual value of the property of the raiiroad. He has estimated the Southern Pacific's personal property at West Oakland, in- cludi hinery, etc., at $200,000. Last r sime property was assessed at $68,650, which are the same figures that | have stood for its value on the Assessor’s bocks for some years past. alton’s idea ot the value of the real e held by the -Southern Pacitic at Qdkland is represented ‘by:the sum: of §: .- His predecessor valued it at $92.450. - :The raisé. onthis property.alone is §154,800, Last' year ‘the aprovements:- ou this ed at -$12,000. Mr. figures are ‘$16,000. Bat the most dssessiment - that- -went on Mr. vooks o-day is that of $60,000 worth of siding tracks in the West Oakland yards. Mr. Dalton ¢lainis ‘that they are not partsof the main line,; and that there- fare i1t comes within his provineé ‘to. ‘make sment = the :the" count. im!w)r( Dalton’s st time. in the history of that these tracks bave ever It has heretofore been as- simed that these tracks were part of the main ling, and therefore assessed by -the State Board of Equalization.

Mahle, then but 21 years of age, was engaged to be mar- ried to a young Stockton clergyman. Yes- rday Judge Greene of Oakland commit- ted Miss Mahle to the Napa Insane Asy- lum at the request of her brother, W. F. Mahle, of Marysville. Since the clergyman jilted her, after most of the arrangements for_the wedding were made, Miss Mahle has been despon- dent and in poor health. Her relatives sent her East and she travelea for a year, but the trip did her no good, and when she returned to California there were evidences that her mind was giving way under the strain of her terrible disappointment. She was infatuated with the man who wrecked her life and could not forget. She was sent to the Fabioia Hospital at first for treatment, but steadily grew worse, In the past few days she has become violent. Her brother was sent for and he concluded that it would be better to have her placed under restraint. She continually calls the name of the young man who jilted her. She was taken to Napa yesterday after- noon. Wrangled Over a Secretary. At the meeting of the directors of the Merchants’ Exchange George L. Fish was re-elected as president without opposition. It was the same with William V. Witcher, who was re-elected vice-president. Henry D. Cushing was the successful candidate for treasurer. The fight was over the secretaryship. It lasted a long time and ended in a dead- lock. There were five nomina tions for the place: George H. Furny, the incumbent; Panl Schafer, the ex-secretary of the Board of Health; L. T. Farr, W. W. Moody and H. K. Snow. There was some warm de- bating and mno election of secretary. was made, the matter being laid over tifl next Tuesday. F. K. Mott, George W. Arper, George L. Fish, F. Kahn and F. Sinclair were selected as a committee to report on a plan for holding general Fourth of July obseryances in Qakland. An Insurance Suit Won. The Home Insurance Company won a g_oim vesterday in the Superior Court. he insurance company sued Cleveland & Hopkins to recover a small premium which the defendants had surrendered aguinst the wishes of the underwriters. In the policy there was & printed clause per- mitting either side to cancel it. Beneath this was a rubber-stamp clause declaring in view of the low rates the assured agreed not to surrender. Judge Greene decided that the rubber-stamp clause had precedence. In the Goldberg Estate. The executors of the estate of Morris Goldberg filed their first account in the Oakland Superior Court yesterday. Their total receipts amount to $161,993, while the disbursements were §11,618. Rabbi. Fried- lander received $50 of the latter sum for uneral services. J. Kauffman was paid $35 for the death watch, Dr. C. B. Brigh- ham received $1600 for his services. Sev- eral other physicians received smaller sums. The executors are Henry Wads- worth and Leon Goldberg. Bothwell and Taylor Acquitted. L. C. Bothwell, who was accused of high- way robbery for relieving George Nathan, a candy-peddler, of $50 on the San Leandro road, was acquitted by a jury in the Superior Court at an early hour yesterday morning. The jury was out several hours. The case of T. F. Taylor, who was charged with being an accomplice of Both- well, was dismissed to-day on motior of the Prosecuting Attorney, on the ground that the evidence was insufficient to con- vict the defendant Seventeenth Street Opened. Mayor Davie has signed the ordinance providing for the opening of Seventeenth street to the bay-shore line. as passed by the Council. The Board of Public Works will act as commissioners in assessing benefits and damages to accrue from the opening of the thoroughfare. The measure was opposed by the Southern Pacific on the ground that it would interfere with the handling of freight at Sixteenth street. Mrs. Chabot Sues Vallejo. Mrs. R. Chabot of Oakland, through the Vallejo Water Company, is suing the city of Vallejo to compel it to abandon the far- nishing of water to Mare Island and the Orphans’ Home, a privilege which the Vallejo Water Company enjoyed before the city established a water works of its own. The Piedmont Cable. The managers of the Consolidated Pied- ‘mont. Cable Company have filed'a state- ment with the Alameda County Assessor. They.value the road at ,000, which is the-‘amount ‘the road sold for at public auction.” Mr. Dalton says he will not ac- cept these figures and will place a valu- ation of his own on the road.

The University of‘California Is Honored by Its Own - Work. VERY CHARACTERISTIC ESSAYS. Creditable Exhibitions of Scholar- ship at the Commencement Exercises. The twenty-sixth commencement exer- cises of the University of California took place yesterday afternoon in Harmon gymnasium on the university campus. Degrees were conferred by the Board of Regents upon 112 graduates from the col- leges at Berkeley and upon thirty-five from the College of Law in San Fran- cisco. Six honorary degress were also conferred, two being the M.A. and four the M.L. degrees. A The hall in" which the exercises.were held was deécorated with - branches-of the pepper_ tree, festoons of geranium and palm leaves. The building .was crowded to the doors with students and their friends, and at 2 o'clock the graduating class, headed by the Board of Regents and faculty came from the library. building to the gymnasium. it Upon entering the building they were given a hearty ovation. Soon all were seated, the Board of Regents, President Kellogg and other members of the faculty oceupying the platform,- while the class took chairs in the front part of the-hall, The exercises were opened with an over- ture by a stringed orchestra, after which the audience was led in prayer by Rev. J. K. McLean, D.D., of Oakland. Four: speakers, ‘Fred Hanley Seares, William Henry Gorrill, William Hud- dleston Graves and Katherine Conway Felton, had been chosen by the faculty from the third of the class holding the highest record for scholarship to repre- sent the graduates. The first to speak was Mr. Séares, ‘who had taken for the subject of his address “The Value of Liberal "Science.” He sai that, within .the: years of ‘the present century that have already passed, the life of the human race has assumed more-and more complex forms, and the different branches of the race have been brought into clearer union. A new interdependence hassprung up between the various races and the life of the individua] and the Nation has assumed new duties and greater responsibilities. It has been an age of transition from idealism to materialism. Nearly every branch of knowledga has its two sides; one the practical, which finds a direct application to the conditions and relations of life; the other, non-practical or non-utilitarian, which -has no immediate effect on such life. Of science this is pre-eminently true, and in thiscase the one side we call technical or applied science, the other abstract or pure or liberal science. It was on the guestionof pure science that the speaker dwelt moest emphatically. He conveyed the idea that pure science the forerunner of applied science, and with- out pure science the applied sciences could | never have existed. Applied science is pure seience adapted to particular.classes of problems. It consists of deductions for general prin- ciples, established by observation, compari- son,classification,reasoning and generaliza- tion. There is a difference between the methods of the investigator and the techni- cian,and the effect of pure science upon the powers of observation, memory, abstrac- tion, reason and generalization may be clearly seen. The work of Eract(cul. scientific men of to-day is of the utmost importance and sh};)luld receive all the encouragement pos- sible. The man who enters. upon the work of original scientific research has less to ex- pect in remuneration and more to contend against than he would in almost any other line of professional oecupation. Greater facilities for and closer devotion to scientific work must be provided for if universities are to be nut upon a plane where they will command the respect of the world. After another musical selection Will H. Gorrill spoke upon the topic, “Is the Method of Jurisprudence Exclusively Scientific?"’ He believed that there is a tendency toward placing psycholozy and jurispru- dence, formerly considered as classical branches, in the same category with sciences. The philosopher Kant has done exceedingly more for the world than Edi- son ever thought of doing. Science has for sher world the world of nature, and philosophy has for her world the realm of spiritual things, snd these -conditions which ought to exist. By a too closely con- tinued study of the real, the ideal is shut out and the shutting. out of the ideal means the destruction of the real. Following the address of Mr. Gorrill was an original poem' rendered by Walter H. Graves-entitled ““Misanthropes.” - A‘lonely sage was pictured lyingin his study at early morning. with the same parchment roll in his hand that he held when he finished his previous:day’s.work. Hecared not for having fallen ‘asleep at his work the nié;hv, before, and* thus he spoke to himself: Al; well! what matier how or where one_ night be gsed? Fm‘pn?;)lll and nights are mine, and days and davs, 80 let a nizht Sometimes be given for & sleep, what loss?. Onie night, or three, & score—what matter then?® Anardent admirer of the sage, brought up under hix influence, follows his . teach- ings, and ‘is imbued with the precepts of his ideal.

Next in order was the essay of Miss Katharine Conway Felton, the class medzi- ist, the subject of which productioni was ““Faith in the Moral Consciousness.”” She said: History presents two distinct civilizations— the occidentai, based upon. the .conception of the dignity, the freedom, the reslity of man; the orient2], upon his-utter nothinguess, Life is made up of unsatisfied desires, of unrealized hopes, and hence is in its essence pain. The wise man realizes this, ceases to desire and so ceases to live. The history of the Orient is the record of stagnation, that of the Occident the record of individual lcliv‘l\ilnfl progress. So inherent in the Western mind is the be- liet of its freedom that even at a time when it still retained theoretical conception derived from the Orjent it could not carry them out in its actual life. In Homer above the gods themselves rules an unconsciousness, ali-pows erful fate, indifference w the moral needs of man and destroying the good and bad alike. Man can - desire onl{ appiness, but in the course of time those of the species who. have found their happiness in waysdestructive of the happiness of others have by uatural selec- tion been wiped out, so that the world is gradu- ally becoming pecpled with a race who are by nature social, with whom perifect egoism tends 10 be perfect altruism. That conduct is morsl which fits a man for his environment, and. obligetion is. simply an inherited féeling in favor of such conduct. . g g Our reason, the sourceof nature’s laws. i shown to be determinetive oi them, and natural science is -adjudged incapable of pro- nouncing any competent decision concerning the supersensible .world; on the contrary, natural science has to {fl‘elflppnle the existence of this spiritual world as the indispensable ground for the ibility of the sensible world, and above all, for the possibility of thatscieuce toil the 1teelf. l‘?nn.h in the moral consciousness commits man to an immutable belief in his freedom and in his immortality, and likewise in God, for be- lief in God is simply the belief that the eternal grand of things isof the same nature as we ATe, when our nature is measured by our-ideal qualities; that is, by intelligence and by con- science. The applause which followed the essay of Miss g‘elmn was almost deafening, be- cause she had been -declared by the Board of Regents in the morning to be the most distinguished scholar in the class, and hence entitled to the gold:medal, Every one knew that Miss Felton had ‘won the medal, but few knew that she had called upon. the president, after it had been officially. announced that it was to be vresented to her, and declined to accept it. In making known the fact that Miss Felton had refused the prize President Kellogg said: “The lady. to whom the faculty and the Board of Regents haye award);rl the medal declines it with thanks and does not even wish to have her name mentioned.” g i The reason why she did not accept the medal is because she does not approve of the method of using an_extrinsic motive to stimulate a student in the progress of his univérsity work. President Kellogg reviéwed the work of the year, showing that much progress had been made during that time. He said that the attendance at the university is 37 per cent .greater now thgn at this time last ?;:ar, and the number of instructors has en increased by 13 per cent. The courses offered are 27 per cent wider in scope, and two instructors, one of whom is Dr. Jacob Voorsanger, have’ been giving their ser- vices gratuitously. At the present.time there are nearlg 1800 students in :the university, He tol told of the crying need for more room ‘and better facilities, and after reviewing the ity, appealed for still more- assistance. It was hishope to some day to see the University of California ‘the-foremost of American educational institutions, The graduates then received the degrees .Ii(li were presented with their diplomas as Tollows:: Master of Arts—David Prescott Barrows, A.B.

Bociety on both sides of the bay is hand in hand again in the cause of charity. The remarkable success which has at- tended the many events recently given for the benefit of needy and worthy institu- tions has prompted still one more effort, this time in behalf of the little ones. The Central Free Kindergarten and the ‘West Oakland Free Kindergarten: are the ebjects for which an appeal is now being made, and the call will certainly not be in vain, for they are under' the patronage oj some of the best-known ladies in Athenian society and number in the ranks of the workers many prominent young ladies. - Asin the case of the Fabiola fete, some- thing 18 not to be asked for nothing, for an entertainment is to be provided that will in every way be commensurate . with the the Nurse “ Romeo and Juliet.” Mr. Oampbell as in ‘money to be charged.

Belden, Mrs. Shanklin, Miss Alice Hunt, Miss Ethel Moore and Miss Alice K. Wellman. A good many of those who brought the Fabiola fete to such a successiul conclu- sion are also actively engaged in further- ing the cause, and a committee consisting of R. M. Fitzgerald, Donald Y. Campbell, G. P. Morrow, P. E. Bowles, E. P. Pomroy and Sam Bell McKee has undertiken its management. Meetings are being held each evening in the Fabiola rooms in the Blake-Moflitt block, and all the details connected with the event are being at- tended to ix first-class style. That the show will be a good one is cer- tain. It is one of the brightest, merriest conceits that was ever staged by amateurs, and there are many opportunities for clever by-play and local gags. The. lines of Shakespeare’s comedy are faithfully fol- lowed as far as the “prevailing ideas are concerned, but they are so transformed that the humor becomes more genuine than if the work were an original concep- tion.

Bophie Olsen applied at the Police Court yesterday, asking to be furnished with a spurions writ of arrest for her husband on the charge of desertion. She was informed that she could swear out a charge against him if she chose, but that.'all the warrants issued there against recreant busbands were in dead earnest; and not for purposes of intimida- tion: On hearing this Sosghie absolutely refused to swear.at all, but she repaired to General McComb to see if he could not intimidate her Julius. The story she told was a pathetic one. Julius Olsen was her second husband, and during their married life he had at divers times given her two split heads and four black- eyes, but she loved him as if he had been the most indulgent of hus- bands: “It's not bein.i beaten. T mind,” said Mrs. Olsen, “but he says now he cannot waste his time any more with an old hag, and since Monday be has refused to come to our home, 749 Brannan street.” Sheadded that Julius was in work, bnt it was not bis money she wanted, but his return home; though she would rather lose him than see him arrested. General McComb detailed ‘an officer to remonstrate with the recreant Julius. FOR MEMORIAL DAY. Comrade Charles Edelman of Garfield Post Selected for Grand Marshal.
