THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, LATEST OAKLAND NEWS, Enterprising Capitalists Plan- ning a New Competing Railroad. SAN JOSE TO HOLLISTER. Federated Trades Report on the Sunday Closing of Saloons. Oakland capitalists have caught the com- peting railroad fever with a vengeance and in addition to the proposed line between Santa Rosa and Petdluma have planned a new line which, if their calculations come to anything, will be an important factor in the freight and passenger traflic of some of the interior counties. Louis Gottshall is doing the booming for those interested and is now in San Benito County looking over the ground and work- ing the people of that section up to the proper pitch of enthusiasm. The present plans are to build a narrow gauge road between San Jose and Hollister to be in direct competition with the Southern Pacific. The line will be about fifty-five miles long, and the route which has been selected carries it through one of the most rosperous and productive sections of the Btate, insuring a large amount of patron- age for the company. 3 The fact that there are no difficult grades to be overcome or expensive bridges to build will make the cost of building the road light, and it is calculated that $850,000 judiciously expended will place the line in running order. The road will be equipped with the most modern appliances and best rolling stock obtainable. The projectors elieve that the patronage of the people along the route will be easily obtainable, as a reduction of 25 to 85 per cent in freight and passenger rates will be the policy of the new company. % Mr. Gottshall is_now sounding the large shippers of San Benito and Santa Clara countiesregarding their ideas of competing roads, and finding out what inducements will be_offered the projectors to go ahead and build. In case arrangements are satis- factory surveys will be made at once, and the company will agree to have the line completed and in running order within eight months from the time ground is broken. Though the names of those who are backing the (‘nler{;rise are not definitely known, it is stated on reliable authority that Alvinza Hayward and Francis Shattuck, president of the Commerce Bank, are among those who will furnish the sinews of war, and that in case the line is successful they will put up the money to extend the line south and build feeders from different points. Previous to his departure for Hollister, Mr. Gottshall, who was largely instru- mental in promoting the building of the Oakland and Berkeley elect:ic line and the road connecting East and West Berke- ley, talked freely of the prospects of the jected line. The people of San Jose and Hollister, as well as many of the large interior towns south of those points, are alive to the bene- fits to be derived from a %enuine compet- ing road,” he said, “and I have no doubt that when I have placed the matter thor- oughly before them they will give us all the encouragement we ask in the matter of rights of way, depot ities and finan- assistance. The men behind the road ere amply able to build without a dollar of outside money, but should the well-to-do people of Santa Ulara and San Benito counties subscribe to a portion of the stock it will seem more like a local concern, and they will take more interest in its weliare. “Competition is the watchword these days, and it is possible that the line will not stop at Hollister, but will go on south and eventually become an important sys- tem.” OBJECT TO THEIR STAND. The Federated Trades on the Sunday Closing Ordinance. The special committee appointed by the Federated Trades to express the feelings of the organization on the question of the Sunday closing of saloons rendered the following report last evening at a special meeting held to consider the matter: rst—That we have nothing in common with nor are we under any obligations to the seloon men as an organization. Second—That the churches, as religious or- ganizations, have always viewed organized labor with' an unfriendly eye, and the un- fortunate unemployed _(per Rev. Dr. Wendte's sern last Sunday) as being lazy, ignorant, shiftless, self-indulgent and orally weak. So between the saloons, we have no sympathy but it so happened in this case that the saloon men were the link connecting our t with ourselves. Again, we believe the 10 the people at cleven men 10 legis- mentally and an election and not allow late for 50,000 people on an affair of such magnitude. The F eration believes that Oak- land, by reason of natural advantages, should pe the met spolis of the Pacific Coast m ior San Francisco, and n protest against any move- ment tending ive any capital out of Oak- land, believing t every dollar lost to the city means & 165 of 50 per cent to the laboring class. The report was adopted without a ais- senting voice. Michael Collins’ Trial. When Judge Frick’s department of the Oakland Superior Court opened yesterday the cros: amination of Dr. J. A, Miller, one of the people i ihe case of Michael Colli charged with Kkilling Philip Boogar, was continued. He ad- mitted that Boogar had commenced to fail physically and mentally before his ante- mortem statement was made. Then the doctor described how this was made. Deputy District Attorney Church said Boogar’s statement was taken down in | shorthand, then transcribed and read to, the dying man, ' Dr. B. A. Rabe, as an expert witness, ad- mitted that the use of morphine befogs the brain, The statement itself, wherein Boogar ac- cuses Collins of shooting him, was then admitted in evidence. William J. Moffatt, watchman for the Contra Costa Water Company. testified that he heard the shots and ran out in the street 1o sec what wasup. He saw Collins with a pistol in his hand. When witness wentup toward Collins the latter flourished his pistol and told Moffatt to keep away. Witness obeyed the injunction, but fol- lowed Collins all the way to his house, and “I'aa’ present when Policeman Banks made the a Boogar, what Collins’ danughter, de- the policeman wanted. d: 1 want the man that killed Boogar."” ““That is me,” said Collins, stepping for- ward and giving himself up to the police- man. Moffatt proved the only witness so far who saw a pistol in Collins’ hand. High School Commeéncement. Commencement exercises of the Oakland High School will be held in the First Con- regational Church Monday evening. hirty-four vupils will graduate and re- ceive diplomas. A noticeable feature of the programme is that none of the gradu- ates are to take part in the exerciges. They are to have special exercises at the gymnasium of the High School Monday afternoon, when they will present a farce fi?_tnlegl“An Aey xis Electiou," written by Miss Florence B. Livingston, .

Brown and Wilbur Walker a committee to join with the committee of the Good Roads Association, consisting of E. C. Sessions, J. L. Lyon and L. R. Hager, in a petition to the Su- pervisors to build a road between Alameda and Contra Costa counties, or at least make decided improvementsin the pres- ent highway. Thego]d rimd has long been declared a nuisance by farmers and business men who are compelled to use it, but it was only when the Good Roads Association took hold of the matter that definite steps were taken toward its improvement. The joint committees” will meet the Supervisors on Monday next, when a large number of residents of both counties will be present to express their views. It is anticipated that the Supervisors will take immediate steps to bring about the desired end. The Three Alleged Robbers. The men charged with robbing Garrett & Taggart’s drugstore in Oakland were ar- raigned in the Police Court yesterday. Their preliminary examination was set for next Tuesday. Neither of the Ross brothers was charged with the crime, but, instead, was one Jacob Oppenheimer, a San Francisco barber, who attempted to shoot Superintendent Weihe of the District Telegraph Company of San Francisco three years ago. He was_arrested in this city Tuesday night and identified by Po- liceman Green as the man who came to the door of the drugstore when he tried it on the night of the robbery. Earl Crum. the drug clerk, identified the two Holland brothers as those who pinioned him. There are prior convictions against both W. B, Holland and John Holland. The three accused men sought to waive exam- ination in the Police Court, but were not permitted to do so. ‘Wanted to Be Judge. John Lenett, charged with using vulgar language, created a scene in the Police Court yesterdav when he attempted to usurp Judge Woods’ place on the bench and Rad to be dragged therefrom by the bailiff. Lenett acted queerly_ in the dock before the court was in session and twice at- tempted to leave, to the great amusement of the crowd. Suddenly he dashed out of the dock and up to the Judge’s seat, where he sat mut- tering and apparently trying to look judicial and wise, When returned to his proper place he refused to remove his hat and continued his mutterings. He was finally sent to the County Jail and charged there with in- sanity. Amended the Ordinance. The City Council atits meeting on Thurs- day evening voted to amend the proposed ordinance for the closing of saloons from 6 P. M, Saturday t06 A. M. Monday to provide for theirclosing from 12 ». Saturday to 6 A.M. Monday. A number of the Councilmen ex- pressed themselves asin favor of submit- ting the matter to the Eeau]e to be voted on at a special election, but the matter was finally accepted as amended. The « nance will come up for final passage at the next meeting of the Council. Robbed His Benefactor. L. L. Burnett of 754 East Thirty-fourth street reported at the police station yes- terday that his home had been robbed by a man to whom ke had given a meal and money for doing some small jobs about the house. He washed a number of win- dows and then left. Soon after it’ was discovered that a hat, a razor, several volumes from the library and a number of silk handkerchiefs were missing. Von Schmidt’s Troubles. Dapiel Schmidt has sued the Von Schmidt Dredging Company for $25.000 aamages for injuries received in December, 1893, while employed on one of the com- pany’s barges. He was sent into the hold to look after the machinery, and, becoming entangled in a cogwheel, had his right arm torn off. Withdrew Her Suit. Mrs. Agnes J. Potter withdrew her suit for divorce against her husband, Samuel L. Potter, yesterday. The case was ex- pected to develop some very sensational testimony, in view of the allegations made by Mrs. Potter, and the dismissal of the her friends. Closing Exercises. The closing exercises of the Oakland Seminary took place yesterday, a large number of the friends and relatives of the pupils being present. A number of the essays were quite elaborate and well read, and elicited much applause from the audience. Woman’s Exchange Benefit, On Tuesday evenin% next at_the Mac- donough Theater the Woman’s Exchange will be eiven a benefit to raise funds to | carry on its work. The attraction will be the *‘Cradle Songs of Nations,”” which will be rendered in appropriate costumes. BERKELEY. A large number of the leading citizens of Berkeley met at Woodman Hall Thursday evening and formally organized a Council for the Suppression of Saloons. After an extended discussion of the con- stitution presented by the committee it was adopted and the following officers elected : A President, William Carey Jones; vice-presi- dents, A, W, Naylor, H. C. Kasteus, George H. ‘Wright, Thomas Addiso: Professor vley, M n, William Whitney, rs. H. N. Marquand} & Dunning; correspond- ing secretary, Miss Edith Sprague.

Lowell for the erection of a building on the lot ad- joining Woodman Hall, to be used as a clubhouse and gymnasium. Their present quarters on Bancroft way are inadequate as their membership is now nearly 1 Owing to lack of time the relay race ap- pointed for to-morrow will be postponed and instead there will be a five-mile hand- icap at the same time, the place being the Oakland Trotting Park. The entries are as follows: Robert and Frank Thompson, Mansfield, Price, Wilkins, Kenney, Wilcox, Wagner an Eggleston, A Denial. Miss Cora Fisk, principal of the Nathan- iel T. Whiting Kindergarten, denies the stat@ments circulated to the effect that she teaches the formsand ceremonies of the Catholic Church in the kindergarten. She claims that the little songsand prayers which the pupils repeat are’ sung and said in the same manner in every kindergarten and in many of the public schools. Johnson Benefit. The dramatic society of the Sons of Hermann presented ‘2 play entitled “Lenore, the Dead Bride,” to a large audi- ence at Unity Hall last evening, the pro- ceeds of which will be given to the family of the late Philip Johnson.

All the Vacant Houses Are Filled Up and a Lively Season Is in Promise. The rehabilitation of Sausalito, the plan- ning of new roads and the establishment of new grades is a weighty work which bas developed much oratory and not a little engineering science on the part of the Town Trustees. Their weekly meeting on | Wednesday was devoted toa debateon a sidewalk. It appears that the question which side of Water street, the main thoroughfare, this footway should occupy | has led to the expression of vastly divided opinions. The advocates of the east side | hotly contended with the cohorts that held that the west side was the natural and un- mistakable place for that footway. The | westsiders sat down on the castsiders and declared that they had the Trustees on their side. The conflict so long pending came to an issue on Wednesday. The eastsiders were led by W. H. Harrison, the westsiders were | martialed by Commodore Harrison. There Town Hall was thronged. The populace | were in earnest, but cool Constables Creed and Gerrighty were deployed on the wings | of the crowd in case of violence. | W. H. Harrison opened the debate, Bow- ing courteously to General and Mayor Dickinson, who was in the chair, the ora- tor declared that the selection of the west | side of Water street for a sidewalk was | preposterous in the extreme. House- | ‘holders on the steep hill on the west were | continually puffing up their property, | keeping it at considerable expense from sliding into the bay. One gentleman near San Carlos avenue had half a precipitous | fifty-foot lot in_the rear of his dwelling | dumped into nis back yard. The cutting into those hills was, from an engineering | standpoint, u fatal mistake. Moreover, the pickets of the boundary fence would be an irresistible temptation to the festive picnicker to smash them as an exhibition | of muscular prowess for the_admiration of | the females of his species. Horses, shying | at the locomotives on the east side, would | naturatly swerve toward the west and en- | danger the lives of the pedestrians on that | footway. The choice was an unwise one { and should not prevail. ‘When the buriy commodore, for the west side, took the floor he paid a glowing | tribute to the manly independence the Trustees had shown in_selecting the west for the footway. The Portuguese had de- | clared for the west, the intelligence of old Bausalito had demanded the west, and the improvement club of Hurricane Gulch had inscribed upon their banners, ‘‘West—or no sidewaik.” In the face of this mass of opinion the Trustees could decide but one , and that the direction where the golden sun seeks his bed in the bosom of the great Pacific. At this burst of oratory the westsiders applauded_enthusiastically, while a shout of “Rats!” went up from the contempt- uous eastsiders. The commodore retaliated by the sug- gestion that the gentleman who had shouted “rats’’ might hunt his hole; that despite specious arguments and garbled representations the sidewalk would orna- meut the west side. Other and_ equally eloquent speakers were prepared to address the meeting, but were cut short by the Mayor’s announce- ment that inasmuch as the contract had been let for the construction of the foot- way on the west side of the street, and that a large portion of the work had been al- ready done, it was a pity to permit the escape of oratory which must be ineffectual, jand thus the great west side controversy | was disposed of. The summer visitors are filling up the vacant houses in the little town, the Scarborough of California, and it is anticipated that the population this season will attain an unprecedented figure. The railroad people have so in- creased the daily trips and improved the property adjoining their depot that the sea ort of Marin, with the glory of its new incorporation on it, is aspiring to metro- politan distinction. ————— Tur United States Government report | on baking powders shows Royal superior to all others.

The Verdict in the Obscene Literature Case Adverse to Levin and ‘Wood. The trial of Solomon Levin and Isadore C. Wood of 25% Stockton street was con- cluded in the United States District Court yesterday. s They are charged with sending circulars which gave information as to where ob- scence literature could be purchased through the mail, and the case has been bitterly fought from the start. United States District Attorne; made an able argument on behalf of the Government and Judge Hawley charged the jury. The latter went ont about 3:30 p. M. and an hour later came in for further instructions. The receipt-book kept by Wells, Fargo & Co., showing the number of gnrcalu sent by-the prisoners to various addresses, was handed to the jurors, as also were some of the exhibits. The defendants were found guilty, but were recommended to the extreme mercy of the court. They were ordered to appear for sentence next Tuesday.

Money Enough Spent by the Old Board to Have Had Them in Good Condltion. “I have this to say, that the condition of the public schools of S8an Francisco is a disgrace to the City. Many of them are not fit for human beings to inhabit. They have not been even cleaned for years. Many of them are in a state of rot and de- cay and are filthy. Some of them seem never to have known whitewash, and it is time that a new order of things set it.” 8o said School Director Comte before the Finance Committee of the Board of Supervisors yesterday. He had come there in behalf of a trade with Mrs. Weaver for her lot adjoining the Douglas School, corner of Collingwood and Nineteenth streets, which the school board desires should be purchased as a playground for the children of the school— there being no yard to the school. Mrs. Weaver wants $2800 for the 25- foot lot, and Mayor Sutro had sent a com- munication to the Supervisors, referred to this committee, stating that lots in the same neighborhood were not worth more than §1 A lot 55 feet front, more than double the frontage of Mrs. Weaver's, just opposite, could be bought for $3000. "He advised against the purchase and the com- mittee agreed with him, Mr. Comte said he and the Board of Education knew that the price was exces- sive, but they thought it was necessary. The children should have a playground, as the building scarcely had groun%s enough to admit of their free entrance and exit. Chairman Taylor of the committee thought it would be wiser to buy the two lots opposite for the purpose. Mr. Comte said that the school-teachers objected to that, as they declared they would not let the children cross the street | because of the danger. “That is & woman's argument,” said Mr. Taylor; “when the principal of a school wears a petticoat you must make allowance for her reasoning on these things. The first thing the children do when released from school is to run into the street. They must cross streets every day going to and from school. Tt is silly, then, to say that they must not cross a street to the playground. I have been a member of the school board and I know something about these things.”’ I am not special pleader for the woman rincipal, neither am I attending the {'\'omnn’s Congress,”” said Mr. Comte, “but I do believe in the children having a playground. Itis as important to them as their books, for you must give their young energies an outlet, and teach them to be healthy as well as wise.” Then, warming to his subject, he de- livered himself of the caustic eriticism of the public schools of San Francisco, as quoted above. Having said that the school buildings were uncared for and in a state of decay Mr. Taylor interrupted him to say: ““In this connection I would like to ask if the department hasn’t had a Jot of idle carpenters drawing a salary for some years whose business it was'to look after these repairs?’’ “They have had some carpenters and have spent a great_deal of money, I have no doubt,” said Mr. Comte; ‘“enough, perhaps. to have secured a very great im- E;o\'emem on things as they exist if it had en spent judiciously; but [ am not here to talk about that, butto consider things as they do exist. I believe we should give the children good, well ventilated, clean and cheerful schoolrooms and plenty of room to play, and that is the spirit of the present board throughout, I believe.” The committee decided to hold the mat- ter over until next meeting. + Pror.

THE QUEEN'S BIRTHDAY, There Was a Quiet but Enjoyable Celebration in San Fran- cisco. The Queen’s birthday was generally cel- ebrated by Englishmen in this City yester- day. The British Consulate was closed and in consequence there was very little business done, as far as the British ships in port were concerned. The vessels were decorated for the occa- sion and all the signal-flags in the lockers were used to give the shipsa holiday ap- pearance. In the resorts irequenbeg by the Britishers the clinking of glasses was heard frequently, and the toast of the “Queen—God bless her”” was heard many a time during the day. Some wholesale houses were closed yes- terday that the clerks, many of whom are Englishmen, might enjoy a holiday. Pic- nics were in order, and quite a large party went to Shell Mound %nrk, while others visited the grain ships at Port Costa and Martinez, ——————— The national debt of Great Britain amounts to rather more than £20 for each inhabitant.
