THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, JUNE 11, 1895 1 LATEST OAKLAND NEWS, The Wife of Captain Poleman of the Oregon Sues for Divorce. CHARGES HIM WITH CRUELTY. Numerous Property - Holders Are to Be Arrested on Warrants To-Day. When Captain Poleman of the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company’s steamer Oregon, now on her way down from Portland, Jands in San Francisco he will be served with notice that his wife, who is the daughter of Captain K. Van | Oterendorp of the Oriental and Occidental steamer Zealandia, has sued him for a di- vore The ground on which Mrs. Poleman sues for a separation is extreme cruelty, and the story she tells of her domestic dif- ficulties with the peppery master mariner would seem to indicate that he is far from being a model husband. The cozy Pole- man home on Santa Clara avenue, Ala- meda, is let to strangers, and Mrs. Pole- man has taken refuge in her father’s home at 1711 Central avenue. The complaint in the suit was filed yesterday by Attorne; A. A. Moore, who represents the plaintiff. Mrs. Poleman was notat home to visitors yesterday, but her father, who stands high in maritime circles on the coast, told of the infelicities of the couple. “My daughter married Captain Poleman thirteen years ago,” he said, “and for awhile they lived happily together. It was not long, however, before Poleman began to be abusive and led my daughter a cat-and-dog life. . years ago she left him on account of his brutaiity and sought shelter in my house, but I p led upon her to return after he had promised to treat her better. On several other occasions she uld have left him but for my intervention. Now the matter has gone so far that she can stand itno longer and she will get her divorce. “Captain Poleman knows of her intention to separate from him permanently and will probably place no obstacles in_ her way. Wehope to settle the matter quietly and without going to trial if possible.” The Polemans have two children, one a rs old and the other a baby months old. Both the husband and father of Mrs. Po are veteran steamship capta iled out of this port for mar , and the difficul- tiesin the famil be regretted by a large circle of friend ARRESTING PROPERTY-OWNERS. They Totally Failed to Observe the Weed Ordinance. The ordinance requiring property-owners and agents for real estate to keep the space between their fences and the side- walks and between the sidewalks and the curbs free from weeds has led to serious complications. A large number of war- rants have been sworn out for violations of the law and will be served to-day. Amc those who will be taken into cus- tody are: G. W. Russell, northwest cor- ner Twenty-first and West streets; Ro: B. Dennis, southwest corner Lydia and West; People’s Home Savings Bank, south- west corner Twenty-eighth and Myrtle; James Butler, southeast corner Milton and Market; James D. Rhoades, northeast cor- ner Twenty-first and Curtis; Virginia Morse, northwest corner Twentieth and Curtis; Frank W. Spiars, southwest corner Twenty-first and Market; Jobn Greaney, northeast corner Lydia and Curtis; Dr. W. C. Gaskill, souttieast corner Twenty-second and Market; J. C. Martin, northeast corner 5 econd and Myrtle; Walter F. corner Twenty-second . Wellman, executrix, Twenty-second and A number of those who are to be ar- rested have expressed a determination to fight the measure and the validity of the ordinance will be thoroughly tested. The manner in which the warrants were made out has caused considerable friction between the Street and Police depart- ments, and Superintendent Harrison of the former branch of the municipal gov- ernment is making caustic comments on the manner in which the Chicf of Police is usurping the duties of both offices. The usual mode of procedure in enforc- ing the ordinance was for the police to notify the Superintendent of Streets of those who were not obeying the ordinance and that officer sent out notification to the delinquents telling them to clear away the weeds within the time specified by the order. In case they did not obey, the cuting Attorney of the Police Court was notiiied to draw up warrants for their arrest, and the documents were signed by the Superintendent. . Instead of following this course, the in- cumbent of the office of Chief of Police had his men locate the offenders, serve the notices and then went to the Prosecuting Attorney for warrants. R Superintendent Harrison knew nothing of the matter until the warrants were pre- sented to him to sign. “Jt seems to me that Chief Schaffer is getting very energetic all at once,” he said, *‘and is usurping far more of the duties of the office of Superintendent of Streets than he has any right to. It was his place to have a report made to me of any violations of the ordinance which his men might ob- serve and leave the matter in my hands until the police were needed to serve the warrants. In future I shall try and see that my office does the work which belongs to it.” STABBED A CUSTOMER. Gurri Seriously Wounded by Shoemaker Paul Genleni. As the result of a quarrel over the price of repairing a pair of shoes, T. B. Gurri, an Ttalian venger, living at 657 Linden street, was taken to the Receiving Hos- pital last evening suffering from five severe knife wounds, which were inflicted by Paul Genleni, an Italian shoemaker. Gurri left a pair of shoes at Genleni's shop at Third and Myrtle streets to be re- paired, and called for them last evening. The shoemaker asked a dollar for doing T. B. the work. Gurri demurred at the price, saying that 75 cents was t‘qoug‘h. A rrel ensued, culminating in Genleni his shoeknife on Gurri, with the stated. One thrust inflicted a deep wound on Gurri’s breast, another pene- trated the hip, while a third went two inches into his meck. His wounds are ut not necessarily fatal. Genleni 1 with assault to murder. TEACHERS ELECTED. A Hot Yight in the Board to Prevent Some Removals. An election of teachers for positions in the Oakland High School was held by the }l:gh School Board ast evening, resulting in a number of changes, which were a great surprise to some of those most inter- ested. After discussing the matter as a committee of the whole in executive ses- sion, the committee reported the list of teachers decided upon. One of the directors moved that the name of Miss Mollie Connors be substi: tuted for that of George H. Boke, but the motion was lost by a vote of 8t03. An attempt to place Mrs. L. R. Griffin's name on the list was also defeated, and the following list was adopted by a vote of 8 to 3: Miss M. Herrick, Miss Ella C. McNeely, L. E. Johnson, Miss Kate Grayden, C. M. Cushing, P. E. Daniels, C. L. Beidenback, Mrs. T. F. Draper, M. C. Wythe, Miss E. B. Lee, E. H. Hilton, A. W, Brewer, Miss A. Gal- braith, Miss K. M. Wertz, J. M. Patton, C. L. Williams, J. B. McChesney, S. P. Meads, E. F. Burrill, E. Packard, George H. Boke, Mrs. ¥. M. Pugh, Charles Burk- halter and D. P. Hughes. Among the veteran teachers who were defeated were Miss Mollie Connors, Mrs. Kate B. Fisher and Mrs. L. R. Griffin, the two latter having been in the department twenty years. ing the executive session of the board as a committee of the whole to prevent the re- moval of some of the teachers, and inti- mations were made that the nominations had been cut and dried by those control- ling a majority of the votes in the board. No Western Boundary. In the case of Henry Hennings, charged with selling liquor on Long W harf without a_license, some_startling testimony was given in _the Police Court yesterday. Attorney Emil Nuisbaumer, who repre- sented the defendant, said that Oakland had no western boundary. He based hi. arguments on the proposition that the boundary of the city, as defined in the charter of 1852, was so ambiguous with reference to the western side that it would be impossible to locate it properl; ““The two main points involved are,” he said, “first, whether the old, ambiguous definition of the city line as laid down in the charter of 1852 is to be accepted as the proper boundaries or whether the amended and clear definition in the present charter is the legally correct and accepted description. Second, whether there is a fixed line which can be located and defined as ‘ships’ channel.’” The attorney for the defense claims that there is no such thing as a “ship chan- nel” in law. Professor George Davidson, chief of the United States Coast and Geo- detic Survey, division of the Pacific Coast, testified that ship channel is a term meas- ured by the draught of the largest vessel that enters the port under consideration. With reference to Oakland he thoughtthat the channel should be tixed at twenty-four feet. Judge Wood has taken the case un- der advisement. After Inheritance Taxes. County Clerk Jordan has been looking after the estates that are liable for collat- eral inheritance taxes. His report to the County Treasurer shows amounts due: state of Elijah Bigelow R; estate of Mary Fern- 2 ate of ‘George of Frances A. ; estate of Edward estate of Mary Waters 33, $1675. Crooks; Sunol Glen, Robert E. Ellis. Bennett Not Yet Sentenced., . The attorneys of C. R. Bennett are mak- ing a hard struggle to secure the freedom of their client. %mmett was brougnt be- fore Judge Ogden vesterday morning to be sentenced. His attorneys claimed that he had once been in jeopardy, and for that reason could not be sentenced. Prosecuting Attorney Melvin said there was nothing in the point raised. He said that Bennett had simply been granted a new trial and was convicted a second time. The court was a little suspicious and so took the mat- ter under advisement until June 18. Jacks Received. N. J. Jacks, secretary of the Young Men’s Christian sociation of Oak- land, who has just returned from the National convenfion of that organization in Springtfield, Mass., was given a recep- tion last evening in the Young Men's Christian Association building.

A special meeting will be held th! when it is understood some strong resolu- tions will be adopted. ALAMEDA, The building owned by Mrs. Heitmann, on Railroad avenue, near Mastick station, was destroyed by fire at an early Lour yes- terday morning. The building was oc- cupied by Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Blakeley, who moved into it only a few days ago. The fire started from a coal-oil stove on the first floor and was discovered by neigh- bors. The inmates were sleeping in the upper story and escaped in their night clothes by crawling through a window on to the veranda, reaching the ground by means of a ladder. Mrs. Heitmann is now en route to Europe and tarried an in- surance of $2000 in the Hanover company. The Blakeley’s lost all of their furniture and clothing, which was insured for $1500 in San Francisco, but did not have it changed when they moved to Alameda. The loss on the building is estimated at $4000. More Protests Filed. E. B. Mastick and A. J. Ralston, trustees of the Sather estate, filed a protest with the City Trustees last evening against the grading of Court street. A majority of the property-owners on Fountain street also made a protest against tlie improvement of that thoroughfare. Property-owners ow ing 296 feet frontage on Taylor place have rotested against grading and macadamiz- ing that thoroughfare also. All three of the Erowsts repr work will necessarily be stopped. Necessary Amount Collected. Otto H. Nobbman Jr., who undertcok ro raise §2000 to add to the $2000 of the rail- road company to purchase the Lewis prop- erty for the new broad-gauge passenger and freight depot, has raised tne amount necessary and deposited it in bank. The deeds are expected to puss in a few days. The next step will be for the City Trustees to close up Railroad avenue from Park to Yoley streets and open Ioley street from Railroad to Lincoln avenues. Rough Treatment. Fred Mandler, a baker, attended the 1cnic given by the San Francisco Bakers’ Verein, at San Rafael Sunday. He boarded a train when ready to return home and was informed by the conductor that the train wasa special. He was com manded by the conductor to jump off, which he refused to do, and instad of stopping the train the conductor pushed him off. Mandler sustained some painful bruises and says he will bring a damage suit against the company. Injunction Proceeding Postponed.

THE REASON IS FINANCIAL Improvement Seems to Be the Order of the Day in Every s Direction. The congregation of the Emmanuel Bap- tist Church has decided that the best thing for it to do, considering its financial ecir- cumstances, is to go back to the Bartlett- street place of worship, put it in order and seek to forget the tragedies of April 13. nce that time its services have been held in the Grace M. E. Church, Twenty-first and Capp streets. An appeal has been is- sued by Pastor Gibson, Secretary Lynch and the finance committee, which tell its own story as follows: Before the terrible events of April 13 the church was struggling under a debt 0f $12,000, but there was every prospect of paying it off, as the congregation was increasing. The cir- cumstan connected with the crime, the damage done to the building have increased the financiel burdens. We are anxious to rais asmuch money as possible before we resume our services and appeal o our friends for their generous aid. J. GEORGE GIBSON, Pastor, C. W. TABER, WORTH, A. B.

A Committeo Pleading With the Spring Val- ley Water Company. The Holly Park Improvement Club is up to the times and keenly alive to the inter- ests of its promising locality. Circulars have been sent out by its executive com- mittee to non-resident property-owners and it is expeeted that the membership of the club will be greatly increased as a re- sult. ‘What is most agitating it just now is the water supply. A committee was chosen some time ago to visit the Spring Valley Water Company and ascertain if possible when the Clarendon Heights reservoir would supply the district. It did not get much satisfaction other than the informa- tion thata test had been made of the reser- voir and the company could not give it any assurance of water from that source. A Second call witl be made upon the com- pany and the committee will report to the next meeting. Holly Park residents are desirous of obtaining better mail facilities. 1t is thought advisable to send a petition to Postmaster McCoppin backed up by the students of St. Mary’s College. One of the four new engine-houses in- cluded in the Fire Department’s estimate for kflm coming year is coveted by Holly Park. s FINE SCHOOL AT COLMA.

At the meeting of the bo.d of regents of the university to be held this evening the question as to whether a new professor will be called to fill the chair of botany re- cently made vacant by the resignation of Professor E. L. Greene, who will soon leave for the East to take charge of the botanical department in the Washington University at Washington, D. C., Professor Hilgard, head of the agricultural depart- ment at the university, when seen yester- day by a Carr correspondent said: ‘It is my belief that the whole question with regard to placing ano.her man in the chair of botany at once will depend upon I e e e they can hold up under the deficit of $17,000 and employ a new professor at $3000 or let the deficit at the end of next year be $14,000 and allow the department to go without a head. 2 “Itis my belief that it would be a sad calamity for the university to allow so im- portant a department as that of botany to go without a leader, for evena year. I hope that the board may see some way open whereby it may feel justified in en- gaging the best botanist that may be had n America, for certainly the department should maintain the reputation established by Professor Greene. “The whole matter is money; and though T do not favor the $25 per year tuition fee proposition, yet I would rather see that sum asked from each student than to have the deficit remain as it is for another year and the chair of botany left vacant on ac- count of lack of funds.” There was some talk of reinstating Pro- fessor Hilgard in the department as its chief, but he declared yesterday that he was by no means a candidate for the office, and said that he had all he could manage in his own department. Professor Hilgard filled the chair of botany for five years be- fore Professor Greene was called to that office. Percival Lewis of Washington, takes the degree Ph.B. University on the h inst., has been nominated for the position in the physics department of the unive: left vacant by Professor Harold Whiting, who was lost in the Colima disaster. Drowned in a Washtub. The 16-month-old child of Mr. and Mrs. John Burmann, who live on Eighth street, near Dwight way, was drowned yesterday morning by falling head foremost into a washtub containing only a few inches of water. The child was playing about the yard and in looking into the tub lost her balance and fell in. The mother knew nothing of the affair until her notice was called by a stranger to the child’s feet ex- tending sbove the top of the tub. The Coroner was notified and an inquest held last evening at 8 o’clock. To Sue the Western Union. W. J. Schmidt is about to bring suit against the Western Union Telegraph Company to recover $10,000 damages, which he believes due on account of an error made by them in transmitting a message. The message should have read, “Come down, and bring money,” but the last three words were omitted, and in conse- quence Mr. Schmidt left for the place where wanted, but without the money.

He was driving down Vine street, when his team became unmanage- able and ran away, throwing him off his seat and knocking him senseless. One of the horses was also seriously injured and will probably have to be killed. A Question of Salary. “Is Mr. Scallenger in?” “Can’t you see whether he is or not?” “Are you Mr. Scallenger?’” “Neo; sie.” “Then I see he is not in. I beg your pardon for troubling you. Can you tell me where he is?” “‘How do you suppose I know ?" “Does he occupy a desk in this office?”” “He does?"’ ‘‘Has he been here this morning?”’ “He has.” “May I ask if you have any idea as to when he will be liie]_v to drop in again?” "}d’on may, but it won’t do you any good.” *‘Can you direct me, sir, to anybody who can point out some person who can show me where to inquire for the man that can give me some information as to the where- abouts of Mr. Scallenger?”’ *I’m not paid to sit here and answer fool questions.” “I see. You would act like a gentleman if you were paid for it. Thanks. Good afternoon!”—Chicago Tribune. AUCTION SALES SPECIAL LOXG CREDIT Auction Sale IMPROVED AND UNIMPROVED OAKLAND CITY REAL ESTATE.
