THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, JUNE 20, 18Y5. LATEST OAKLAND NEWS, 4 Trouble Begins in the Ladies’ Co-operative Aid So- ciety. PRINCIPAL OFFICERS RESIGN Dr. E. H. Woolsey Superseded as Southern Pacific Surgeon in Oakland. The Ladies’ Co-operative Aid Society, which started out under such favorable ausbices in March, 1894, has split on the rock of authority, and the president, vice- president and secretary, as well as a num- ber of members, have resignea. The relations between the superintend- ent of the society’s headquarters at Thirteenth street and the other officers of the organization became strained some time ago, when innovations were proposed | by the president and secretary. The fol- lowing address to the public was recently issued by those who severed their connec- tion with the society : The public is hereby notified that the inter- ests of the Ladies' Co-operative Aid Soclety Oakland are divideq, and that all outstanding debts ageinst said society will be collected by that part of the society that still holds the charter and occupies the building situated at 521 Thirteenth street, between Washington and Clay, as we, the nde: dies, re- signed from said socie n Mrs. R. A. Loomis, president; Mrs. L. Hol vice-president; Mrs. M nsky, scer Mrs. Fitbogan, Mrs. 1. A. Nelson. Mrs. F Pritchard, Mrs, L. de Jarley, Mrs. _The society was formed to aid those of limited means in gaining cheap boardi and lodging, the large building at ing fitted up as a Hurley. be odging-house and res- taurant, where 10 cents was charged for and a like amount for beds. Drake, the superintendent of the house, gave her version of the difficulty as follows: I am really surprised at the action of our Tesigned officers. We do all the work and they do the growling. The trouble all started over the price of meals. When we started the home We went to the Board of Supervisors and asked them to aid us, as we thought the work we were going to do would save the county a great deal of expense in keeping homeless men out of jail. We asked them for help only upon the con- sideration that we charze but 10 cents for our meals and lodgings. They refused our reque: and 80 we went to the City Council. Th treated us the same way. We were determine to start the home, knowing that God would help us, if nobody else would. A irfend raised some money for us to start with and everything has been running smoothly. The women in charge here, Mrs. Cole, Mrs. Plummer, wens and mysel have done all of the Work. The officers who resigned did rothing bu come around once in a while and sew a litt) They wanted us 10 raise the price of the men to 15 cents, but we were resolved to sia promise made to the Supervisors and Council, although they did not aid us, and charge not more than 10 cents. Now, if they want to Zrowl they can. Their resighing won't do any £0od. We'll run the home just the same, won't we, Mrs. Plummer? The lady accosted replied most strongly that they would continue the home. Oaklund’s Fourth.

Dr. Theodore Olmstead of Oakland and Dr. John J. Meigs of Alameda will to-day assume the duties heretofore performed by Catholic Knight Rising Ster Lodge ) YVorwaerts Lodge N¢ d%l’ No. 11, A. O. o A Dr. E. H. Woolsey as surgeon for the | Southern Pacific Company in Oakiand. The twenty or more railroad patients who are being cared for at Woolsey’s Hospital will to-day remove to the Fabiola Hos- pital, where they will remain until suit- able quarters are provided for them by the new officials. Both Dr. Olmstead and Dr. Meigs have served the company previous to this time, the former having been employed in the railroad hospital at Sacramento and the latter in a similar capacity at Elko, Nev. Dr. Woolsey has filled the position of railroad physician in Oakland for more than ten years past, in spite of a number of attempts which bave been made to oust him. our years ago his appointment was revoked and he was instructed to re- hort for duty as a traveling physician, but he succeeded in having the order recalled and remained secure in his position until the present time. R . The change is due to_the reorganization of the company’s medical staff by Dr. M. Gardiner, who was appointed chief sur- geon several months ago. Lambert May Be Insane. ‘Walter Lambert, who is charged with appropriating money belonging to_the caty while acting as police clerk, will be tried for insanity before his case on the embezzlement charge comes up. After a jury had been secured yesterday afternoon Lambert’s attorney stated that he thought it necessary to have his client’s sanity inquired into before fur- ther proceedings were taken. The court asked what reason he had for believing that Lambert was- out of hi: mind, and Deputy Sheriff Heller was placed on the stand, He testified that Lamben acted queerly in the County Jail, muttering to himself and generally de- porting himself as though out of his mind. The court then ordered a special venire of forty talesmen drawn, from whom to obtain a jury to try Lambert on the in- sanity charge. Tarre About to Die. G. B. Turre, a scavenger, who was stahbed a week ago Monday evening by an Italian shoemaker, is in ‘a_critical con- dition. He is to have a surgical operation performed, from which the doctors say it is very doubtful whether he will recover. Yesterday Deputy District Attorney A. A. Moore Jr. and Stenographer Frank B. Thwaites went to his home on Fillmore street, near First, to take the man’'s ante- mortem statement. He positively refused to talk, although he knew that he was in danger of death. Waylaid and Cut. Thomas Dolan, a laborer, aged 31 years, waswaylaid by two men at Fortieth street and Telegraph avenue at 11:30 last night. © received a stab wound over an inch long, which was dressed at the Receiving Hospital. No valuables were secured from Dolan, who is doubtful whether his as- | sailants were highwaymen or private ene- mies. Illegal Collector.

A number of young men whg are lovers of the wheel met at the Marriott residence Tuesday evening and organized a new club. The Diamond Cyeclers was decided upon as a fit name for the ciub, the emblem to be a red diamond with a black clover leaf in the center, Cruz Sent to Whittier.

Little George Camvbell, the lad who had both feet cut off by the broad-gauge local low the knees, is resting easily at the home of his parents, though 1t is feared that one of the stumps may have to be rebroken set properly that the bone n Another Business Structure. Eunice L. Brewster has awarded a con- tract to the Mutual Building and Invesi ment Compa for the erection of a two- building on the northwest corner of avenue and Oak street, to cost Condemnation Land Suit. Suit has been commenced in behalf of the City of Alame: gainst Peralta Bros. for the condemnution of lind for public in the opening of Buena Vista avenue, st from Grand street. BERKELEY. Yesterday aiternoon at about 5 o’clock one of the university cottages sitnated on the south side of the campus, and known | as the French cottage, caught fire from an known cause and was bhurned to the ground. The building had been used as a lodging-house for some of the students and recitation-rooms for Professor Paget'’s French classes. It was one of nine cot- tages erected by the State a nmmber, of faculty, but which have since been devoted to other purposes. The building is in a remote part of the grounds, and the blaze was not discovered until it had gained considerable headway, and vefore the Fire Department was able to reach the scene the walls had fallen in. A bucket brigade, under the leadership of Protessor Bradley, served to ep the flames from spreading and destroying the surrounding buildings. Had the water supply been adeguate the cottage would have been saved. The loss will amount to about $2500, with no insurance. . E. Hadley, one of the university car- penters, while attempting to open a win- dow of the burning building, had his right arm, below the elbow, severely cut by fallihg piece of broken glas Said It Was a Joke. Mrs. Vincent’s residence on Bancroft way and Grant street was entered by burglars on Tuesday night, but the stolen articles have been returned, and the person who brought them back claimed he had taken them only as a joke. While Mrs, Vincent was out calling in the evening the theft was committed, but she did not discover her loss until yesterday morning, when it was found that a number of pieces of wear- ing apparel, besides in gold, had been taken. Barly in the day a man whom she knows, but whose name she will not re- veal, returned the stolen articles, saying they were taken only as a jo Mrs. Vincent is unable to see the point to the joke and has requested the town officers to make an investigation cf the case. i Reception to the Athletes. It has been decided by the committee in charge of the banquet to be given at the Palace Hotel in honor of the victorious athletic team upon their arrival, about the th inst., to also give them a reception at Stiles Hall in Berkeley on the evening following the banquet. W. N. Friend, vresident of the associated students, said vesterday that the success of the proposed banquet depends wholly on the number of alumni and - undergraduates signifying their intention of being in attendance before the 22d inst. It is the purpose of the committee to have the reception in Berkeley for the benefit of those who can- not attend the banquet. Change at Bates’ Gymnasium, Professor James Blockledge, until re- cently an instructor at the Mount Tamal- pais Military Academy at San Rafael, has entered into partnership with George Bates, proprietor of the Berkeley Gymna- sium.

Attorney Frank Shay was arrested for perjury in Alameda and released on $1000 bongs, He bought g0ods from the Chicago Clock Company on the installment plan and was sued for a balance due the company, which regained pos- session of the goods on a writ of replevin. Shay swore out a warrant charging A. B. Smith, vice- president of the company, with grand larceny, and the perjury accusation is based upon that charge. The silver dollars issued in America in 1804 are worth $200 each. There were only 18,570 coined in that year., and suffered amputation of the limbs be- | s ago for the use of members of the | {usin the board. OAKLAND'S HEALTH BOARD. Mayor Davie’s Appointments May Cause Some Res- ignations. ALLOPATH VS. HOMEOPATH. The Chief Executive Is Charged With Intending a Personal Affront. Mayor Davie yesterday appointed Drs. E. B. Curtis and E. W. Bradly to fill the positions left vacant by the revocation of the appointments of Drs. Miss Shuey and Beckwith. Both of the new members are homeopaths,; and their appointment has so incensed the remainder of the board, who are all members of the allopathic school, that the resignation of Drs. Fisher, Akerly and Rogers is not improbable, though the latter was appointed by the Mayor. Drs. Fisher and Akerly are particularly sore against Mayor Davie, and the former does not hesitate to voice his sentiments in the matter. “Idon’t know Mayor Davie, and I don’t know that I want to make his acquaint- ance,” he said last evening, ‘‘but if he thinks he is going to bluff me into resign- ing he is badly mistaken. “I understand that Davie has been boast- mg tnat he would drive out every member who opposed him, and I suppose that is just what he was aiming at when he ap- vointed these homeopaths. Placing them on the board with men of another school was intended as a personal affront to drive us to resign, but, as [ said before, the bluif ! won’t work, and_I shall not pass in my resignation until I am ready to do so | of my own free will. Atthe same time the | unpleasant position in which I am placed makes me feel like resigning at once. Mayor Davie knows what a Board of Health is for—to fight disease and make sanitary arrangements for the best inter- ests—and he should know that the ap- pointment of such men as Curtis and radley would tend to defeat the very ob- | jects for which the board is intended. |~ “Homeopathists and allopaths never agree on the methods of preventing or cur- ing disease, and should some great epi- demic suddenly make its appearance in Oakland, the result might be very dis- astrous to the city. Everyone knows, of course, that the re- moval of E. W. Thurman, Davie's man, as secretary of the board, and the reappoint- ment of Smith, whom Davie opvosed as Sanitary Inspector, caused all this rumpus. ““Now, I have nothing particular against Thurman, but I must say that he was en- tirely incompetent to hold the position, and T fear one could not conscientiously | vote to keep in ofiice. I am going to wait to see what will become of this mixture on the board, but shall probably resign when I see that I am not being crowded.” Dr. Akerley felt very much as Dr. Fisher did in regard to the matter, but said that be had not made up his mind whether or | not to resign. “We do not meet until the second week in July,” d, “and we shall have plenty of time to think the matter over | before that time. In the meantime, should | Dr. Rogers, who is an allopath and one of { Mayor Davie’s appointees, combine with the two homeopaths and call a spec meceting, there is likely to be some fur Though neither Dr. Fisher nor Dr. | Akerly would confirm it, a ramor is afloat | that should Dr. Rogers combine with the two homeopaths to the undoing of Dr. | Fisher and Dr. Akerly he will be tabooed { by the allopaths of Oakland henceforth. [t was discovered yesterday that under the section of the charter through which the ! appointments of Drs. Shuey and Beckwith were vevoked Health Officer Mayon is in- eligible to hold his office. “He has not the necessary electo { qualifications. Itis probable that he will | be retired and a successor appointed to act | until the incumbent can qualify,which will |t September. Dr. Mayon is very close to Mayor Davie and it is thought that the latter will protect him to the extent of his ! ability and’ see that he receives his ap- i gijmtmenl again when he becomes eligi- e. Dr. Beckwith, who was removed by | Mayor Davie, is satisfied that it was his vote on the question as to whether Sani- tary Inspector Smith should hold his job that caused the appointment to be Tre- voked “‘Mayor Davie did not want Inspector Smith re-elected,” he said. “I wanted to do the best I conld for the city and made extended inquiries as to Smith’s fitness for the place, and on all sides I heard him commended in the very highest terms as a man unusually well qualified for the place. “So when the matter came up at the meeting Friday night I nominated Smith and, of course, voted for hiia, as did also Dr. Fisher, Dr. Akerly and Dr. Shuey, and he was elected, as tnere are but five of That is the reason Dr. Shuey and I were removed.” The Sutter-Street Company Will Appeal. Sutro’s Company May Want the Franchise. The people who live along the line of Bush street on which the ghost car runs at occasional intervals are not yet rid of the solitary ‘*box on wheels” that for so many years has been of no practical benefit and has been the cause of much contention. Robert F. Morrow, president of the Sutter-street Railroad Company, that holds the franchise for the Bush-street line, which was recently declared for- feited, when asked yesterday what was to be done in regard to the decision replied po]i)te]y, but sententiously, “We shall ap- peal.” The attorneys for the company are pre- paring the papers on appeal from the de- cision rendered against the company, But when a decision in the arpellule court may be looked for is beyond the power of any one to tell. Whether the Sutro Railroad Company will apply for the franchise on Bush street that has recently been declared forfeited,” said Mayor Sutro, the presi- dent of the company, yesterday, s something that has not yet been con- sidered, and as an appeal is to be taken that will still further delay the considera- tion of the subject. “The company,” continued the Mayor, “has not yet reached any conclusion as to how it will reach the ferry from Central avenue, but that will come out all right in good time. At this time the roadbed is all finished except a very short section that will lead to the power-house. The site for this house is being graded, and the work of construction will be_ started in a very short time. The building will be a frame one and but one story in gehzht. but it will be a highstory. All the work as to power, cars and the equipment of the road is progressing favorably, which isall that can be said at this time.” ————— THE USUAL BUNKO GAME. Thomas Commerford From Texas Parts With ‘His Money. Thomas Commerford arrived in the City a few days ago. On Monday night he was gazing into the window of a pawnshop on Clay street when William Mason, a bunko- steerer, introduced himself to him. Mason took him to Girard & Leduc’s saloon, cor- ner of O'Farrell and Taylor streets, where they were joined by Mason's friemi. A.F. Bequette. In a few minutes Commerford parted with $48 at studhorse poker. Commerford complained of his loss to the police, and yesterday Policemen Gra- ham and Dougherty arrested Mason and Bequette in Girard & Leduc’s saloon and took them to the City Prison, where they were identified by Commerford. They have not yet been charged. e It was repozted to the police last night that Mason and Begnette nearly succeeded in swindling a man out of $4000 by the “fake" lottery game. The man drew the money out of the Hibernia Bank, and the bank "officials, becoming suspicious from questions asked him, notified the police and thereby saved him from parting with his money. S AT THE CALIFORNIA THEATER. “The Old Homestead”’ to Be Produced Next Monday. The season of the California Theater will commence on Monday evening nextand the attraction that is to open the house will be Denman Thompson's famous play “The Old Homestead,” which has not been seen here in two years,and it will be heartily welcomed by the theater-goees of this City, with whom it has always roved a great favorite. The present pro- duction will be superior in many respects to any hitherto seen of the play. The company is the strongest that has appeared in the piece in this City and the many pretty scenes will all be shown to the best advantage, they being all new and e pressly painted for the present Pacific Coast tour. The popular tenor Dick Jose will be at the head of the big double male quartet that is to furnish the musical part of the cntertainment, which promises to be the best yet heard here with the pro- duction. Many new electrical stage effects are also to be shown for the first time in the piece. THE SPECIAL POLICEMEN, Chief of Police Crowley Tells What He Knows About Them. Harry Morss Explains the Differ- ence Between Watchmen and Specials. Referring to the complaint recently made by Dr. Albert Hiller of 1011 Sutter street in relation to special policemen and watchmen Chief Crowley said yesterday : That i8 the complaint ot & man with a griev- ance. Whether he has ground for a complaint ornot lam unable to state, as the facts have not been laid before me, but this I do kuow, that he is mistaken when he makes a charge of inefficiency against all the ngcinl watch- men. It is true 1o doubt that there may be a few who neglect their duties and go into bar- roOms or grocery stores to play poker, but once in a while you'll find some regular who is not attentive to duty. The majority of these special policemen or watchmen who wear special stars, particularly tho in the mercantile districts, are hard workers. They are attentive to the interests of those who employ them, and they render a great deal of assistance to the Police Depart- ment. There are also a great many good and faithful men in the Western Addition. As to the Police Commissioners, the law does [ not give them any control over these men. It simply provides that on the application of citi- zeng who are willing toemploy a man to watch buildings or property in a particular district, the bourd may grant such person authority to wear a star. But I will say this, the board | will not grant a man a special ftar unless it appears from his petition that he can make a { fair living. Ifthe people who employ a watchman are not satisfied with the service rendered they | have the remedy in their own hands. They | can stop paying him and he widl have to quit, tor I'm sure none of these men will work for the mere glory. As I said before, there may be some men who might do wrong, but in all large bodies of men there are some who are not periect. The fact remaing, however, as Dr. Hiller | says, wnav these men who wear special stars are entirely independent of the Com- missioners and are not called upon to re- { port on or off duty,and" that if they do report on they can report off just as soon thereaiter as they wish. The Chief also stated that the class of men appointed as special policemen within the past few years is much superior to that | formerly employed. Captain Harry N. Morse of Morse's Merchants’ Patrol was of the opinion that Dr. Hiller, in his complaint, included his men. He said: His remarks do not apply. My men are em- ployed in the mereantile disirict; they are uniformed and are responsible to 8 sergeant and captain. The men are watched by the ser- geant, the sergeant by the captain and .the captain by myself; so you see that my men, who ure simply watchmen, not special police. men, are responsible to some one, and they have regular hours of duty when they must remain on their beats. I have declined police authority for the rea- son that if my men wore stars they would have to arrest drunks and those who engage in strect brawls, and in making such arrests they would leave the property under their care un- protected. Now, you know, if thieves wanted toget into a place they would have some of their friends start a fight, and while the watch- man was walking those up to the lockup the thieves would have time to break in. My men have, however, instructions to assist the regu- lar police in every way and to notify the offi- cers of any suspicious characters, They have instruetions also to make arrests for any crime committed in their presence and to turn the prisoner over to the nearest regular officer. But there is one thing I donot understand, and that is why a man who has been removed from the regular force for causeshould be given a special’s star. It seems to me that if & man is not it to be on the regular police force he certainly is not fit tobe a specm{ policeman, —————— Was Senut as Written. Several years agoa young man, whom we will call H, was employed as night operator at a small town in Illinois. The second night of his service a circus arrived in town and with it a great many farmers from the surrounding country. H went on duty at 7 o’clock in the evening. About an hour later a stranger came in to send a telegram. As soon as he had writ- ten and paid for the message the operator sat down to the instrument and proceeded to tick off the telegram, svhich was brief, and read, not including address and signa- ture: “Have sean the party send mee the muney.”’ ‘When the operator had finished sending the message the receiving operator tele- graphed back, “What you givin’ us?” re- ferring to the spelling in the message. The rules of the Western Union Com- pany prohibit any conversation on the wire between operators, but nevertheless this rule is frequently broken. It isalso a strict rule that messages shall always be sent and words spelled as they are written, even if, as is often the case, the words are spelled wrongly. But at the time H took the job he was as ignorant of these rules as an Indian, so to the operator’s query as to what he was ‘‘givin’ him,” he replied thusly: ““Make it read ‘Have seen the party; send me the money.’ ”’ “That’s more like it,” said the receiving operator. ‘I guess the bloke that wrote it never saw the inside of a school,” said the send- in;]: brass-pounder. ‘he next moment he was chilled to the marrow by the soft words that wafted o'er his shoulder— “Young fellow, that was 2 cipher mes- sage. Iam a detective, and also an op- erator. I heard your remarks on the wire, and if you don’t send that message the way I wrote it I shall sue your blamed compan{ for §50,000. And, further, if you don’t take back and apologize for the re- marks you made about my schooling, I will pound your head off.”" These words came from the ‘“bloke” that wrote the message. It is superfluous to add that the apology was forthcoming, and the message was sent aglnin according to the “bloke’s" rules for spelling.—Chicago Inter Ocean.

LIGT 10 BE CHEAPER. Sharp Competition Between the Electric Light Cor- porations. NEW COMPANIES IN LINE The San Francisco Gas Light Com- pany Will Establish an Electric Plant. ‘There is a good prospect of a war be- tween the electric-light companies of this City which may result in severe rate- cutting. Two strong companies, with plenty of money,have recently invaded the field of the California Electric Light Company—a field which has hitherto been without anything in the shape of real opposition. Of appar- ent competition there was plenty and to spare. Under the shrewd management of Presi- dent P. B. Cornwall, supported by A. Hay- ward, the California prospered, and its operations were from time to time ex- tended in & way that redounded greatly to the financial fortunes of the corporation. Things might have gone on this way in- definitely had Cornwall remained with the compan, But this he did not do. Per- haps the field for comlpetition was too tempting. At any rate he drew out, and took Hayward along with him. Some time before this Mr. Rowe, the company’s efficient manager, died, and this, with the withdrawal of the two heaviest men, greatly weakened the corporation, and exercised an appreciable effect on the stock. . & A new company was organized, in which Cornwall and Hayward became largely in- terested. It iscalled the Mutual Electric Light Company, and has headquarters on Howard street, atthe foot of New Mont- gomery. Its plant is equipped with the latest improved electrical machinery, and it is running a large force of men night and day. Itsestablishment means permanent opposition, and work has already been commenced. In the matter of laying conduits and operation in general the new company will use methods all its own, introducing a g00d many new features. The conduits, for example, are to be of redwood planks, laid_four or five feet deep and grooved to admit the wires, instead of terra cotta, the material heretofore used for this purpose. The redwood conduits will last from thirty to forty years, and be- sides being cheaper than terra cotta, pos- sess many other advantages. The new conduits have been laid along Second street from Folsom to Market, and on the latter thorougnfare a force is now em- ployed night and day in the same kind of work. But this company will not contest alone for the business of the old. The San Fran- cisco Gaslight Company. convinced that there is room for one more, is about to establish an electric-light plant at the cor- ner of Fifth and Howard streets. Here, too, some novel methods are to be intro- duced in the matter of generating the fluid. ¥or the purpose of studying the late inventions in this line Manager Crockett has recently®been sent to Europe by his company. Before he returns to San Francisco he will also attena to the pur- chase of necessary machinery and other equipment. Aluminum is being used imeaking the bodies of cabs, OR.
