THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, JUNE 28, 1895. 11 LATEST OAKLAND NEWS, Action of Tide and Waves Renders a Water-Front Title Invalid. A DECISION BY JUDGE OGDEN. Death of a Former Principal of the Lincoln School — Local Brevities. According to a decision of Judge Ogden, dered yesterday in the case of the Oak- land Homestead Association vs. T. W. Corder et al., the waves of the bay have destroyed any title which the plaintiff might otherwise have had to valuable property on the water front of Butcher- town, West Berkeley. The land in litigation consists of a strip 1054 feet long, lying between the Peabody land and Union street and ironting directly on the bay. The plaintiffs claimed that this lana was a portion of the V. and D. Peralta Rancho, title of which had been confirmed by the State to V. and D. Peralta, and that the association had acquired their title from the original owners. 1 of the case it was brought out that the action of the tides and waves which sweep over the disputed property constantly wears away and lowers the surface of the land, and thatthe erosion has at all times one foot in thirty years The defendants claimed that the surface had been so removea and that prior to the commence action the land was below the ordinary line of low tide. The defendants also showed that they had been in possession of the land for fif- yvears past and had erected thereon rovements to the value of $20,000. On this showing the court found for the de- fendar The decision concludes by sa ing: “The court is of the opinion th frnnt ne shifts with the line of ordir high tide, so that the plaintiffs by th. tion of the waves havelost title to the between the original g line of ordinary high tide.

Four of Them Have Been Estab- lished to Run Indefinitely at Berkeley. | | | | | | Mrs. Phoebe A. Hearst, who has been a most liberal contributor toward assisting | worthy young ladies to acquire a college | education at the University of California, | has again shown her benevolence by offer- | ing four more yearly scholarships of $300 | each, to continue indefinitely. This was brought about by the sugges- tion of the committee of the faculty in charge of scholarships, that the eight perpetual funds now in lier name, yielding *.flu annualiy, be converted into” twelve, each yield 00 a year, on account of the great of applications now on hand. This Mrs. Hearst could not decide to do, since she realized that $300 was little enough to give toward defraying the ex- penses of a college student in ('ai‘i[urnia. | " On the grounds of her desire that more | of the applicants might receive favor, and “hut all those who did receive anything | from ber hand were well provided for, she | authorized the committee to make four | more awards. | The results of former awards have been | so satisfactory to her that she feels fully justified in drawing upon her private in- come in order that a few more worthy | young women may be granted the privi- lege of taking a college course. The selection of students to whom the new scholarships are to be awarded has been left entirely to the judgment of the faculty committee at Berkeley. They will hold a special session this morning, at which both the old and the new scholarships will be tendered for the coming year. The new funds established will continue {only during the discretion of the donor, but the original eight will stand in per- petuity. number | Lawless Sealing. i Captain Sutherlend of the sealer Sophia Sutherland, which arrived a few days ago from 8 hunting cruise in Asiatic waters, has been charged with sealing within proscribed limits.

DKLAND'S CELEBRATION, Five Thousand PFeople Will Be in the Fourth of July Parade. PROGRAMME OF THE EVENTS A Large Number of Handsome Floats for the Pageant—Pro- gramme of the Day. Grand Marshal George B. Daniels of Oaxland’s Fourth of July parade esti- mates that fully 5000 men will be in line when the procession starts, and that the pageant will be the finest ever seen in Oak- land, if not in California. The militia and fraternal organizations have decided to turn out in force. Tha Knights of Pythias will be more largely represented than any other organization, and will make the celebration the occasion of a reunion and” general Pythian jollifica- tion. Banquets and other entertainment will be tendered the visiting Knights, who are expected to assemble 2000 strong. The wheelmen are coming out strong in their entries for the parade, and it is ex- pected that 500 of them will line up by the time the bugle sounds the advance. The programme of the day will be about as follows: 10 o'clock A. M.—Parade, consisting of four- teen divisions and six bands, At the conclu- sion of the parade the oration of the day by Senator George C.

The cavalcade is attracting much atten- tion, and at least 250 persons, one-third of whom will be ladies, will appear in the mounted division. RECEPTION 10 ATHLETES University of California Team Warmly Received in This City. One float representing The Boys Were Escorted to the Olympic Club and Royally Entertained. The university athletes who returned Wednesday evening from a successful tern tour were met last evening at the ferry landing by prominent members of the Olympic Club and escorted to the club, The Presidio band led the procession. Following the band was a carriage which contained some of the champion outdaoor athletes of the Olympic Club, namely: J O’Kane, F. Butz, L. Gill and W. Kennedy. A large gathering of athletes representing the Olympic, University, Acme and Re- liance athletic clubs followed on foot. When the club was reached the athletes marched to the gymnasium, the north side of which was handsomely decorated with flags, streamers and flowers, The president of the club, Mr. Flint, welcomed the athletes and said that the Olympic Club was proud to receive a noble body of young men, who had done such yeoman service with credit to themselyes and the people of this great State. Mr. Greer Harrison, the ex-president of the club, said he hoped that the Olympic Club and the athletes of the club’s mem- bers of the great Pacific Athletic Associa tion would join hand in hand in promoting the interests and welfare of amateur athletics, and that a team thoroughly representative of this great State would visit the East next year and prove by its sterling worth that California is qualitied to take its E]ace physically as well as mentally in the great race for supremacy between the colleges and States. Colonel Edwards said that although he did not anticipate very great things from his boys he was more than agreeably sur- prised at the result. Each memberofthe team related some in- cident connected with the trip,and Captain Koch, their commander, gave a very inter- esting account of the trip and the matters offinrticulur interest during the tour. e said that his team was handicapped in many ways, but that if he had had a Few extra men in line to take the places of the boys who had to succumb temporarily from the excessive heat and other causes, the result, though flattering as it is, would have been a great boon to the athletes of this State. The other representatives of the team who spoke were Dyer, Torrey, Merwin, Edgren, Scoggins, Burns, Wool- sey, Bradley, Patterson, Dozier and North, the manager. 3 Professors Edward Soule and Clapp also addressefl the assemblage, and President Fitzgerald of the Reliance Club of Oakland spoke of athletics. The team and the Mrs. A, A. Sargent, Mrs. Ada C. Van Pelt, Mrs, Garrison Gerst and Miss Harriet Cooper occupied seats on the platform. Miss Anthony spoke on ‘“‘The Present Status of the Suffrage Question.” She said in part: European fruits are brought to New York and sold for less than the products of the Golden State. If you vote as you should in 1896 we women will solve the problem and cut the Gordian knot for you. We will help to bring together the praducer and consumer. We 5t‘mnnd the ballot in the interest of the Whge-eaTing Women ¥ 1o have been forced by the new conditions in the mechanical world to %0 into the workshops. They must compete with a class armed to the teeth with the power of the ballot. I want to see women have & chance in the scramble with the men. Miss Shaw paid her respects to Dr. Fitch, saying that his statement that he had never seen her or heard her speak in- dicated that the foolkiller had not finished his work. Miss Shaw’s lecture was on ““The Fate of Republics,” and in the light of history she showed the truth of Byron’s oft-quoted lines upon the same subject. She said in part: It has come to pass that manv believe the evil forces of & nation are stronger than the good forces. Itisa libel. T believe there are more good people than bad in our land. But the difficulty is the good people are so very good that they are good—for nothing. Wyoming is the ounly State in the Union without a female patient in the lunaiic asy- lums, the only one in which there are female inmates of penitentiaries and in wh the percentage of marriage has increased over the percentage of divorce. All this in a State where women have been on a perfect equality with men for more than twenty vears. If Dr. Fiteh, who affects statistics, will examine the birth records in Wyoming he will find that it is a State of large families. Mrs. Cooper announced that Miss An- thony would speak to the colored people at Zion Church on Sunday morning next, and that Miss Shaw would address a con- gregation at the California Methodist Episcopal Church on Sunday morning and the Plymouth Congregational Church the same évening. It was also announced that both ladies would address the ministerial unions of this City at the Young Men’'s Christian A ion auditorium on next Monday at 1 S THE PRICES OF RATSINS, W. F! Forsey Tells of a New Combination of the Grow- ers in Fresno. : The Entire Packs of the Co-Oper- atlve Companies to Be Sold by One Committee. the secretary of the Pro- ducers’ Co-operative Raisin-packing Com- pany is in town. His company is the rgest of its kind in Fresno. Its member- ship is made up entirely of raisin-growers who have pooled their crops in order to sell their goods to advantage. He said A combination is being effected among the growers that must be & powerful agent in keep- ing up the prices of raisins. We tried to form such & combination last year, but sought to in- ude the packers. The result was slmilar to what would follg i & wolf were locked up in the fold with the sheep. . Thix year we will try to get only the growers togethér. Not only thet; we only want those who belong to the co-operative packing com- penies or have their goods packed by the co- operative packing companies. In other words, our intention is to have the growers join tc Then the entire pack will be put in the hands of a selling committee, who will take advan- tage of the connections of the various com- Janies in orc ket the goods. This will insure the growers acting as & unit. Previously the commission packers by well designed cits of prices have been able once in a while to frighten some of the smalier growers to sacrifice their goods. This hes induced a general slaughter, disastrous to everybody but the commission men. The large buyers would pay 5 cents for raisins as readily as 2 or 3 centsif they had to and did not fear that prices were going down. While our organization will meet falls in the market, it will prevent fatal competition be- tween the co-operative compani Already four companies, con 2 of raisin- rowers, have agreed to unite. These are the Producers’, the Easton Company, the Oleander Company and the Kern County Fruit Ex- change. There are two other co-operative raisin- packing companies, one at Selma and one at {anford. These we expect will join us. Mr. Forsey explained that the idea in the organization was not to give raisins an artificial value. It was to prevent unwise curting of prices and to enable the grower to hold his stock without loss when cir- cumstances were not favorable for selling. To prevent any failure of the plans eact member of the organization makes several iron-bound contracts. One contract puts all his stock 1n the hands of the co-opera- tive packing companies. Another puts all the packed goodsin the hands of the sell- ing organization, which takes upon itselt all the work of marketing the goods. Mr. Forsey concluded: The final results are pooled. If goods bring low prices hecause of careless packing the in- dividual packer must stand the loss. If prices g0 down every one shares the shrinkage. According to Mr. Forsey there was to be a great reduction in packing charges. This, be thought, would bring more growers into the combination. The larger the combina- tion was the greater would be its influence, but with only those now members Mr. Forsey thought values could be kept steady. DISTRICT NURSES' WORK, Might Be Called Lineal De- scendants of the Good Samaritans. The Assoclation Deals With Ex- treme Cases cf lllness and Destitution. There is no charitable organization in San Francisco doing more thorough and effective work than and none so little known outside the families to which it ministers as the District Nurses’ Associa- tion. It is auxiliary to the International and District Nurses’ Association, and its head- quarters are at the home of the president of the San Francisco branch and vice- president of the international association, Mrs. Annie E. Dooley Szanik of 808 Bush street. Mrs. Szanik's experience as a nurse savors of a romance. So strong was her desire to take the training required for the graduation of nurses that when a 17-year-old girl she entered the training- schooi of the Boston City Hos-pital. “The required age was 21 years,” Mrs. Szanik explains, naively, “but I strangled conscience and declared I had reached that age. I was not of the re- quired weight, either, but I'supplied that eficiency by putting my dumbbells in bags of salt and fastening them ahout my waist underneath my clothing. The lool of surprise on the faces of those who pre- sided when I stepped upon the scales was comical,” cers of the different clubs represented were banqueted after the speakers had re- tired. WOMAN SUFFRAGE. Miss Anthony and Rev. Anna Shaw Entertaln a Large Audlence at Metropolitan Temple. Metropolitan Temple was crowded last evening with ladies and gentlemen, drawn there by the fame of the two exponents of woman suffrage, Miss Susan B. Anthony and Rev. Anna H. Shaw. Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper presided, and Mrs. George Gaden, Mrs. Nellie Blessing Eyster, After gradunling from the Boston City Hospital in 1879 she was appointed super- intendent of the Lowell Corporation Hos- pital, which position she filled for three ears under the directorship of the cele-" rated Dr. Kimball. She spent a year in European_travel for the {;enefit of the health of Miss Helen Lee, the daughter of Robert E. Lee, who was temporarily de- ranged as the result of some physical mal- ady. For several years she nursed private atients of Dr. Kimball and Oliver Wen- ell Holmes and still wears a golden badge of the Boston City Hospital presented to her by the poet-physician. Thirteen years ago she came to San Francisco and nursed some dlstinéuished patients in this City before and during her work at Dr. Cush- ing’s Hospital. Eighteen months ago she organized the District Nurses' Association of this City, which has now a membership of thirty graduated and skilled nurses. The mem- bers are pledged to give all the time in which they are not emploved to the sick poor. This may mean weeks or months of each year to the members, and the time is cheerfully given. One of the nurses spent seven weeks in the care of one pauper patient. If an engagement is secured by the nurse engaged with a charity patient another takes her place in the labor with ‘‘the least of these.” Since its small begin- ning with five members less than a year and a half ago tiie membership has cared for 122 patients, all cases of extreme illness and destitution. There is no office in the care of the affheted too disagreeable or too menial for these nurses. They are angels of mercy in the wretched abodes they visit. An old woman, neglected and abused by her husband and children, died in the City and County Hospital a short time ago and it is said that her last request was not for the ingrate family, but the district nurses whose charge she had been. It would naturally be supposed that there is a fund of substantial resources be- hind the association, but the reverse is the case. The energetic president gives her services gratis, and a fee of 25 cents per month is paid by each nurse. 4 What aid is secured in the way of provis- ions and medicine is obtained through personal solicitation by the nurses. There appears no class of women in the City more deserving of the promised “Well done” than the District Nurses. MURDER OF THE WEBERS, More Evidence Against Ivan Kovalev, Charged With the Crime. A Palr of Gold Eyeglasses Found That May Prove an Important Link. The chain of circumstantial evidence against Ivan Kovalev, arrested for the murder of Mr. and Mrs. F. H. L. Weber at Sacramento on December 29 last, had some new and important links added to it yes- terday. Captain Lees was engaged all day in ob- taining a statement from Arnold Levin, the clockmaker, who is detained at the City Prison as a witness. Levin refers to his first meeting with Kovalev, Stcher- bakov and Nikitin and another of the Rus- sian refugees. They often'met in a saloon at 416 Fourth street. In the latter part of September last Leyin, Kavolev and Stcherbakov went to Sacramento. Levin left Kovalev and Stcherbakov in Sacramento and returned to San Francisco in October. He lived with his sister on Twenty-second and Valencia streets until December 20, when he went to live with Zakrewskie, the carpenter, where he re- mained till January 16. Shortly after New Year’s Nikitin made his appearance at the carpenter’s and also put up there. About January 6 Levin was told that Kovaley and Stcherbakov had returned from the country, and on going to the saloon on Fourth street he saw them there. They were both wearing new suits and hats, both suits being alike, and Stcher- bakov was wearing a fine, new double gold chain. They were living in a lodging- house on Grant avenue and Sutter street. Kovalev told him about he and the boy George Pettion, being arrested, and said Le could have sent the boy to San Quentin. | Kovalev asked Levin if he had%been read- ing the papers and to teil him all the news. Kovalev got drunk and asked him to go with him to_his lodging-house, and while walking up Fourth street Kovalev told him that Stcherbakov had choked and attempt- d to roba woman in Loomis. They were joined by Stcherbakov and the three went to the lodging-house. There Stcher- bakoy gave Levin money to go out for whisky and something to eat, and when he came back Kovalev met him in the hall- way and told him he and Stcherbakov had a row, as Stcherbakov thought Kovalev was talking too much to Levin. Kovaley said Stcherbakoy had gone to Chicago, but had threatened to kill him, and also George Pettion, because Kovalev had left some keys in Pettion’s keeping. Kovalev and Levin went to live at the carpenter’s, as Kovaley was afraid to slee; alone. Kovalev was always nervous and frightened when on the street. Once he began to cry and said he would be hanged. Kovaley told Levin he had not slept soundly any night from the time he came back from Sacramento till two or three weeks afterward, when they went to live on Shotwell street. Kovaley returned from San Jose on April 1, two days after Stcherbakov was killed by Dowdigan, the grocer. Levin noticed he wore an overcoat. He asked him where he got it, and he said Stcherbakov gave it to him in San Jose. He asked him why he had gone to San Jose, and he said he had hidden a box containing money and jewelry there, but he had been unable to find it. Kovalev continued to wear this overcoat till one hot day, about a week be- fore he was arrested, when he left it at the carpenter’s. It was found there by De- tective Cody, and was identified yesterday by Levin and the carpenter. Levin’s statement concludes as follows: Before Kovalev went to San Jose I saw him have a pair of spectacles. Iasked him where he got tliem, so Kovalev and the carpenter told me that somebody brought them to the store, and that they had bought them for 50 cents. Kovalev asked me to sell them, but I would not do it. He asked Mr. Wajorda, the saloon man, if he wanted to buy them. but he did not. ' They were eye-glasses, instead of spec- tacles. Mrs. Weber's eyeglasses were stolen at the time of the murders. Last night De- tective Cody obtained the glasses from Mrs. Sheppee and took them to Captain Lees, who 1s satisfied they will be identified as Mrs. Weber’s giasses. The body of Mathieu Stcherbakov, the footpad who was stabbed by William Dowdigan on the night of March 31, was exhumed in the potter’s field at Oak Hill Cemetery, San Jose, yesterday in the presence of Detective Gibson. The coat and vest were removed, and Detective Gibson says he is confident that they were the garments stolen from Weber. Luther Weber went before Justice Henry, in Sacramento yesterday, and swore to a warrant charging the - following-named persons with the murder of his father and mother; Ivan Kovaley, Mathieu Stcher- bakov and Kharlamwi Nikitin. Sheriff Johnson and one of his deputies came to ‘tibis city after Kovalev, and will return to- ay. . Rothschild’s Jewish Colonies. Our Consul at Jaffa states that the Jewish colonies founded by Baron Edmond de Rothschild are prospering.
