MANY YEARS A PRIEST. | Chief Schaffer’s Charges Against Policeman McCloud Being Investigated. The twen y-fiith anniversary of Father J. B. McNelly’s ordination to the priest- hood was fittingly celebrated at St. Pat- rick’s Church, in West Oakland, yesterday. For several months the members of his e been making preparations for | the event and a grand silver jubilee was | ared. Over 200 invitations were sent | the prominent priests and laymen in the State. Solemn high mass was conducted at 10 o'clock in the morning at St. Patrick’s Church by Father McNally as celebrant, Father Serda of Temescal as deacon, Father O’Connor of Ukiah as sub-deacon and Father Power of Livermore as master of ceremonies. Bishop Montgomery of Los Angeles preached the sermon. Music was furnished by a choir consist- ing of: Sopranos—Miss Mary Mc: Miss Agnes Farrell, Miss Mary Cav: Ella Flynn, Miss Bridget McCartby, and Sweeney; bass , Sheehan and F Miss Sabina Flanigan.

Some of the teachers were disappointed; as they thought the school should be continued, but others of them, on learning that there would certainly not be money enough to pay. their zeal, and agreed with that 2 meeting should be called to rocon- sider the resolution. *‘Atthe meeting the discussion was warm, some maintaining that it was a matter of principle tc refuse to work without pay, that public oflicials must keep their agree- ments with employes, etc. Others claimed that the city was in a tight place and that High School teachers, who were the best paid of all in the department, should be willing to go on with their work, even though they knew there was not fcient money to pay full salaries. Then the vote was taken on rescinding.” Professor Inskeep and Miss Dolman, The wedding of Professor Lorenzo JDow Inskeep, professor of natural Science at the California College and president of the Municipal League, and Miss Annie L. Dolman was solemnized last evening at the First Baptist Church in the presence of 600 invirps guests. Oaxland society was well represented, and in aadition numer- ous guests from San Francisco and Berke- ley were present. The decorations of the church were entirely befitting the oceasion, probably the most notable feature of which was an American flag stretching from the choir gallery down to the pulpit. The canopy beneath which the ceremony was performed was of unique design. Great streamers of netting, covered with choice flowers, were joined ata pointabove the stella Long; altos—M | altar while at "the base;were potted palms.

To Take Degrees. | The members of University Lodge, L. O. | 0. F., are expecting to have an interesting time to-morrow night. The invitations have been sent out to all lodges of Cdd | Fellows throughout the county inviting them to be present and participate in the ceremonies. The occasion will be the conferring of the oriental degree upon a large number of members of the order. Those who at- tend and who can give the password or the greatest secret of the order will be entitled to sit and witness the ceremonies. It is expected that a very large class will take the three degrees The committee: are as follows: Committee on music — Profe brecht, Harry Richards, Dr. R.

He had not asked the officer | why he left his beat before/his watch wastup, | believing that it was not his place to ask | questions. This seemed to be all the test mony offered by the Chief. | Frank C. Becker, a drug clerk at Seventh | and Market streets, and Officer Curtis gave testimony in support of McCloud’s conten- tion that he was sick and had so reimrled on the night he reported off at 11 o’clock. Harold Martin, George Webster and S, Rogers testified that they considered Mec. Cloud an exemplary officer who patrolled bis beat diligently and took excellent care of the neighborhood in which he was sta- tioned. As some of the witnesses for the defense were unable to be present the hearing was continued until Baturday next, when more testimony for the officer will be presented. OLD SOLDL S ANGRY. The Veterans Displeased by the Re- moval of Janitor Winkler. . The action of the High School Board in | relegating to the shades of private life a | number of the High Bchool teachers who have taught in that institution for many vears past has stirred up no end of strife in Oakland, and there is promise of a lively time the next time the board meets. As a resnlt of the removal of Janitor Winkler, one of the warmest debatcsin the history of Lyon Post, G. A. R., took place last evening. Winkler is commander of that organization, and a number of his veteran comrades were so highly indignant at the action of the board in removing him that they concocted some red-hot resolu- tions denouncing the board for its action, and presented them at the meeting. The measure was opposed by others, and the debate which followed was inter- spersed with oratorical pyrotechnics, which lasted for some time. The resolu- tions were finally defeated, when a rule prohibiting G. A. R. posts from entering political fights was read. Then an enthu- siastic member proposed that the post attend the next meeting of the board in a body and demand that Winkler be rein- stated. This was also ruled as against the rules of the organization, after a warm de- bate. It was stated, however., that the members of Lyon Post could go as individ- als, and a number expressed an intention of being on hand to see that justice was done. The teachers who are removed are wroth, and advance various reasons for their decapitation. Mrs. Griffin, when in- terviewed, said: | business in Alamed Waste; grand organist, Professor Albrecht. Mrs. Boogar Ili. The hearing of the contest of Philip Boogar's will was to have come up in Judge Greene's court yesterday, but on account of the serious illness of Mrs. Boogar the case was postponed. The bitter contest which has been expected, however, began when a fight was made to have the hearing postponed. The attorney for Mrs. Boogar said that it would be impossible to begin the case without «Mrs. Boogar’s presence, as he ex- vected to prove a number of conversations between Mr. and Mrs. Boogar that will have a material bearing on the case. Mrs. Boogar’s ill strain she passed through during the trial of Michael Collins, her father, who is charged with kiiling her husband. New Telephone Company. A corporation known as the Commercial Telephone Company bas filed articles with the County Recorder preparatory to doing ounty. The direc- tors are E. R. Smith, Albert L. Stetson, J. D. Johnson, John W. Butler and 8. P. Lunt. The capital stock is $100,000, di- vided into 1000 shares of $100 each. There has been actually subscribed $55,000, as fol- lows: E.R.Smith, $10,000; A.L. Stetson, $10,000; J. D. Johnson, $10,000; John W. Butler, $10,000; 8. P. Lunt, $10,000; W. H. H. Hart, $2500; W. F. Shelley, $2500. It is is estimated that the line will be a hundred miles long. As soon as every- thing is in running order on this side of | bay wires will be stretched to San Fran- cisco. Populists Will Parade. Extensive preparations have been made by the Jocal on the Fourth and lend theiraid in making the celebration a success in Oakland. After the parade they will proceed to Blair Park, where a picnic has been arranged and a programme of speeches, vocal and instrumental music will be carried out. Invitations have been sent out by the Fourth of July committee to all military, semi-military and other organizations to take part in the parade, as it is intended to have every organization in the county form a part of the procession. Health Department Changes. At the meeting of the Board of Health to be held next Friday evening, it is rumored that some startling changes in that department will be made. Thus far the only new officers elected by the board have been a health ofiicer and secretary. Itis stated that J. S. Kenney will have the office of Sanitary Inspector in place of Sam __ Smith, the incumbent. Charles F. Ott will probably take the place of N. 8. Douglas as Assistant Sani- tary Inspector. There are a number of privatel persons wanting to construct crematories to get rid of tEe city’s refuse. Going to Camp. Rev. J. K. McLean of the First Congre- gational Church of Oakland will leave for Sweet Brier Camp, near Castella, Shasta County, to-day. e will be accompanied by his wife and Miss Mary McLean and will within a few days be joined by many friends, including R. W. Snow and family, C. W. Kellogg and family, Rev. Mr. Hatch of Berkeley, the Misses Herrick, Mrs. Vrooman and family, Miss Belle Carpen- ter, Mr. and Mrs. E. D. Page, H. C. Allen of Stanford University, Mrs. L. R. Briggs, daughter and son. Lemon Will Contest Ended. The contest of the will of the late Marie Lemon was finally brought to a close ves- terday morning, when the will was ad- mitted to probate without opposition. Letters testamentary were granted to George W. Reed. e parties interested have settled the matter out of court and desire_to have the estate divided. Mrs. Mary Smith, the “trumpet medium,” is to have charge of the distribution of the property. ‘Will Test the Law. A Portuguese vegetable peddler, V. T. Braza, was arrested yesterday morning by Sergeant Hodgkins on the charge of vio- lating the city ordinance prohibiting ped. dling within the fire limits. Twenty-five of his fellow-peddlers followed him to the Police Court to bail him out. They will all put up a small amount to test the case, as it is the first under the new ordinance. ““It looks to me as though the teachers were removed because they offered to work Manufacturers’ Association Meeting. The Manufacturers’ and Producers’ ness is due to the severe mental | opulists to join in the parade | Association of California held an enthusi- ic meeting in the chambers of the City Council last evening to devise means of promoting and encouraging home industry.

He Is the Editor of a Jewish Paper and Prominent in Fraternal Circles. Rabbi Mayer S. Levy of the Congrega- tion Beth Israel celebrated his silver wed- ding yesterday. The reverend gentleman and Mrs. Levy held a reception in honor of street. They were assisted in receiving by their daughter, Miss Miriam B. Levy, Mrs. 8. J. Levy and Mrs. L. Lesser. Dr. Levy’s residence was decorated for the oceasion, and the many gifts received testified to the popularity of the minister and his wife with his congregation and the Jewish community of San Francisco gen- erally. Rev. M. S. Levy is theoldest resident Jewish minister on the Pacific Coast. For RABBI LEVY AND HIS WIFE, hired a horse and buggy from the St. Law- rence Stables on Juna 3 and sold them the same day to J. P. Guerin of the Nevada Stables for $65, is the same Katie Flood who attempted to escape from Detective Anthony on Monday night. She was ar- | rested on an old warrant for stealing a pair of diamond earrings valued at $350 from Laura Hurblust, a roommate. Yesterday morning she was identified as the hirer and seller of the horse and buggy, and was accordingly booked on the charge of obtaining money by false pretenses. Katie is only 19 vears of age, but she has done several clever things which have made her acquainted with the interior of the City Prison. She dresses stylishly and has a rich flow of language. 0DD FELLOWS FINANOES. President Louderback Suggests a Plan to Get Rid of the Debt. At the annuzal meeting of the stockhold- ersof the Odd Fellows’ Hall Association last night thirty-six directors were chosen by the cumulative system of voting. They were: C. P. Gibbons, A, W. Scott, J. Nickels, C. P. Overton, Joseph Winterburn, F.W. Warren, J. R. Daly, A. Pauba, A. H. Cousins, L. B. Sonuen- berg, . Hisgen, Charles Quast, C. W. Derby, D. Louderback, H. S. Martin, R. H.

They will return on the 23 inst. ALAMEDA. A blaze ing by Policeman Brown shortly after 3 o'clock in the large frame building at the corner of McPberson street and Railroad avenue, occupied as a wood and coal yard. The department responded quickly, but the fire had evidently been burning for some time, for when it was discovered the contents and the roof were one mass of flames and the building and contents were totally destroyed. 52 The cottage of Mrs. Cornwall adjoining the barn caught on fire and was burning briskly before the inmates were aroused by neighbors. Mrs. Robert O'Neil, an invalid suffering from nervous diseases, became aggravated from fright by the fire of Monday morn- | mmg, which was almost opposite, and ex- pired yesterday afternoon. George C. Relie lost fifty tons of hay, forty tons of coal and about fifteen tons of assorted grain. The barn was built in 1881 and was 40x150 feet. Mr. Relfe estimates his loss at $6000 and carried $3000 insur- ance. The Cornwall cottage was badly damaged, the loss being estimated at $2000. 1t is the general impression that the fire was of incendiary origin. A blaze was discovered shortly after mid- night in the rear of W. F. Hawkins’ cot- tage on Bay street, between Pacifie and Buena Vesta avenues, but was extinguished by neighbors. Residents of that neighbor- hood are becoming alarmed and are of the opinion that a firebug is in their midst. Judge Waymire Protests. Judge Waymire has made a lengthy pro- test to the Board of City Trustees against the opening of Eagle avenue from Oak street to Mulberry through his property. He urged that his home would be de- stroyed, as the'line of the opened street Dbt el R | summarizes in his protest what he has done to improve property in his vicinity, declaring that he has given to the city over five acres for streets, valued at more than $1000 an acre, and has expended in the improvement of adjacent streets over $20,000. He mentions these things to show that he is not an obstructionist, but to support the claim that he is entitled to consideration. Trustees Hammond and Leydecker were elected on a platform de- claring for the opening of streets, and are in favor of passing resolutions and let the majority protest follow. A Bicycle Collision. Miss Ida Galindo met with an accident Monday evening while bicycle riding on Park street. To avoid a collision with another bicyclist she jumped from her wheel and fell as she was crossing the narrow-gauge track, breaking three ribs on her right side. Mashed by a Safe. John Greenwell met with a mishap yes- terday morning while assisting to move a safe from the debris of the recent fire. As the safe had about reached the sidewalk it slipped from the grasp of the helpers, catching Greenwell's right hand against the sidewalk, mashing his fingers. It was found necessary to amputate one of the fingers. BERKELEY A party of seven biological students at the university will leave on Saturday, the 15th inst., under the direction of Instructor Jobnson, for San Pedro, where work in biological science will be pursued during the summer months. Last year the school met at Santa Cata- lina Island, but it has been decided to choose the mainland this year upon which to work. One of the objects of the trip will be to make a general survey of the southern coast, in order that a suitable place may be found at which to locate a permanent site for the school. High School Graduation, The yearly graduation exercises of the Berkeley High School will be held in Shat- tuck Hall next Friday evenini. Professor C. M. Gayley, head of the English department at the university, has been secured to deliver an address to the class on the evening of their graduation. Out of a class of fifty-three forty-two will enter the university, twenty-two of whom will be admitted without examination or condition. The class will be the largest that has ever been findmud from the Berkeley High School. vas discovered yesterday morn- | | gation with a new synagogne and ceme- the past twenty-two years he has been un- interruptedly and actively engaged in three congregations. In May 1873, he was elected rabbi to the Congregation Bickour Choline of 8an Jose, which he served with zeal un- tila call was tendered \7{ the First He- brew Congregation of Oakland in August, 1881, whicg he accepted. During his resi- dence in San Jose Rabbi Levy taught ancient literature and Hebrew in the Uni- versity of the Pacific, and was honored by having the gown and degree of M.A. con- ferred upon him. On his removal from San Jose to Oakland he was alzo honored publicly in many ways. As a Trustee of the Free Library he received the compli- ment of an indorsement by Democrats and Republicans, making his” election almost unanimous. He also served here for sev- eral years as vice-president of the Associ- ated Charities. Rabbi Levy left Oaxkland to accept a call to his present charge, the Congregation Betb Israel. He left the Oaklln%rcongre- tery and in a very flourishing condition, He received numerous tributes of regard from the Christian clergy in that city. From the members of the Oakland Hebrew Congregation and the Sunday-school at- tached thereto he received a gold medal, a sglt of engrossed resolutions and a chest of silver, Dr. Levy’s career in San Francisco has been a successful one. Among other in- stitutions founded through his énergy is the Pastors’ Aid Society for aiding re- leased prisoners. He was also the first rabbi in the city to hold the popular Friday evening services. In addition to the duties imposed upon him by his office, he is the editor and part proprietor of the Jewish Times and Ob- server.

His father was a popular clergy- man in that city. Dr. Levy was educated in the Talmud Torah class of the Jews’ Free School, and_later at University Col- lege, London. He proposes making a trip to London this month, and will return in time for the Jewish high festivals in Sep- tember. PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX, It Is Coming In Faster Than the Assessor Expected It Would. What Deputy Tax Collector H. B. Cook Thinks of the New Method. “The new system of collecting personal taxes,’”” said Hugo Herzog, chief deputy in the office of the Assessor yesterday, ‘'is working well, in fact, better than we ex- pected. Up to this time we have collected about $225,000, which is far in excess of what we expected. We did not think that we would bhave more than $60,000 or $70,- 000. The people pay their taxes without much complaint, and considering that this is an innovation we are doing very well. The collection of poll tax is about the same as in other years.” The money that is being thus collected will soon be turned over to the Treasurer, and there will be money to meet the ex- penses of the City ghvernment. Deputy Tax Co.iector Hiram B. Cook said: *Of course we have nothing to do with the collection of the personal tax, but I feel that it is the best method of collect- ing that tax. One thing it will do, it will save us, in this department, an immense amount of labor. In the past we were forced to send out postal cards to each party assessed, and, in many instances, no attention was paid to them. Then the de- linquents had to be advertised, at a cost of 10 cents a name, which amounted to a Egut deal. Each person assessed cost the ity 14 cents, and in many, very many cases, it was an expenditure that brought no return. In many instances taxpayers came here and wanted to pay the amount of their tax all at once, but the law mades it obligatory to make their payments at two different times, which was very annoy- ing. Now theycan anddo make their pay- ments, and much time, labor and annoy- ance is saved.” — - OLEVER KATIE FLOOD.

A Revolution Clears the Way for Co-operative Contracts and Colony Schemes. The Co-operative Commonwealth, in which Laura de Force Gordon has taken a fostering interest for a week, and which she will probably make an effort to boom into a great and shining demonstration of what ‘“‘applied socialism” may be, isanodd and picturesque littie thing. It is one of the latest of the California brood of associations, which are multiptying into brief existence as men and women in in- creasing numbers realize that competition is the curse of man and that Altruria is his best and proper abode. The Go-operative Commonwealth was born of such principles as “its objects are the attainment of the highest and best in man,’”’ and amid struggle, distress and war. It’s a little mustard-seed yet and the ground looks pretty stony, but its strug- gling promoters see large success and famous colonies a little way ahead. Laura de Force Gordon is the president and she is ioing to lecture about it and for it soon. he Co-operative Commonwealth was organized about May 1. Since then there has been a successful revolation, a better element co-operating to throw out the peo- ple that got it up. The founder was E. J. Jeffries, who was alawyer of some sort up in Washington until he became a commonwealer and then an altruistic organizer of co-operative com- monwealths in Oregon and Washington. Late in April he came down here with eight lieutenants to extend the great work to which he had devoted himself. Mect- infs were whooped up, contributions were solicited and a membership secured com- posed partly of people who had become intensely devoted to co-operative theories and largely of those who were unemployed, hard up and ready to co-operate with any- body who talked about work and eating. A vacant church and large house on Geary street were rented. Members brought their blankets trom the dumps and elsewhere, provisions were con- tributed, and there was talk about gettin, work for members. A chance to get woog by cutting it on shares turned up, and four or five members were kept at work in short shifts. When the turn of the eight organizers from the north came they said they were “organizers,” and were notex- pected to work. The victorious revolu- tionists say they were alot of good-for- nothing bummers, and that Jefiries was no better, and that their drunken fights nearly got the Geary-street altruria raided. George W. Sells of the Wageworkers’ Union, the present organization of unem- plo; ed, became early a managing director, lmf Alexander Gray, a young man whose studies inwe- the philosophy of life had convinced him that co-operation was the thing, became secretary. They and some others kicked out the entire Jeffries crowd. The rent could not be paid, and quarters were found in a little vacant house on Na- toma gtreet, from which the Common- Take No Substitute.. Gail Borden Eagle Brand e CONDENSED MILK in the estima- Yo other is Food. Has always stood FIRST tion of the American People. *“justas good.” Best Infant wealth expecis to move soon. Sells is the manager of the Co-operative Common- wealth now. He is an cx-railroad ma and appears to be an houest fellow who is struggling to keep the thing ubove the surface until the prosperity that isa few weeks off at most arrives. ~For six weeks he has been engaged as a watchman and his earnings have gone into the “‘sinking fund”” which helps pay the expenses of the Natoma-street house, where fifteen of the members eat and bunk on the tloors: A week ago Laura de Force Gor be- came interested and accepted the presi- dency. Then the lege of making the Labor Bureau the office of the common- wealth was secured from Labor Comm sioner Fitzgerald, and Secretary Gray si there now. s sterday that things nd that a co tion and by-laws would be adopted soon There are seventy members enrolled, but only fifteen can be accommodated at the headquarters, where the bill of fare is largely a matter of luck yet. “We are rapidly getting work for our members,” explained Mr. Gray. ‘‘We have three men working for Lawyer Mon- teith in San Rafael, one in Sausalito, four at Sutro Heights and three others in the City. We have an order for twenty men for fruit picking in three weeis and to-day we sent a man to Boualder Island. When a member works out of town that way he is to pay 10 per cent of what he gets to the commonwealth. 1f he works here and lives at headquarters he pays it 2l! in and ets credit forit. Each man’s account is kept, and when there is a surplus he will get back what is due him after paying his own share of the total expense. We don’t keep it all now, but give him what he needs for clothes, etc.” The commonwealth is sailing pretty close to the wind, and in a practical way 1s held together by Manager Sells, who is hustling for contracts for work, though he hasn’t any yet. Sparse contributions and the few dollars earned by members now and then keep the club on” Natoma street in existence. Mr. Sells and others com- plain that they are misunderstood, and they undoub!mily are. *“What we want is honest work, and to help each other and divide the expenses and profits,” said Mr. Sells yesterday. “We’ye been hurt a good deal by the way the thing started. But we’ll be all right before long. 1 expect to get a contract on the Valley road, and then every man will et just his share of what is made and pay Bishaeicstio expense. We expect to get a big contract on a ditch near Yuma in the fall, and will establish a colony there. The men will work on the ditch and cultivate unoccupied land at the same time.
