THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, JULY 22, 18Y5. LATEST OAKLAND NEWS, The New Supervisors Will Put Themselves on Record This Week. MAYOR DAVIE'S PUZZLE-BOX. Record of E. C. Sessions, Who Made a Sacrifice to Protect Small Depositors.

Church belongs to a family that has fed at the Alameda County crib for twenty years. He has not been put to the test, however, yet, and his vote will determine his character. Johnston served a term in the City Council of Oakiand, and along with Paraeeand Nelson made a good anti-monopoly record. He has given no indication of a change and can be trusted to do the right thing. On the whole, it looks as if the assessments of Dalton will, in the main, be upheld. Certainly, Talcott, Johnson and Pelouze shcwed no timidity at the convenient appearance of Mr. More- house, the Leandro banker. It would not st me if Mr. Dalton should receive_some mention by the Btate Board of a different nature from that made of Robert Leckie by Mr. Morehouse. here is a point at which an abuse of lege js as objectionable as a common That point has been reached by s howlers who nightly yell from f the City Hall. It matters not of those who cannot get ont of f the sound whether the origin of the nuisance be a colorsd female preacher or a leather-lunged auctioneer-politician. a nuisance, pure and simple. The little park has been spoiled, the have been trodden down, and it is me that Mayor Davie afforded ief. Oakland is not a town of anarchists, who are incited to lawlessness by every street orator that mounts a soap- , but on the contrary, people regard such as something to be tolerated as being an unwelcome example of the right of free speech. The ordinance prohibiting street hi 1 oratory without a license is a useless piece of Jocal legislation. It is unnecessary 1n San Francisco, Lon- don or Chicago and_other big cities and is d here. Mayor Davie's attitude 1 g permits is surprising, as, when making his campaign, he was the oftenest heard open-air speaker in the county. The present restrictions are regarded as a hard- ) by the church party of Oakland, and nything opposed to that party in this city is always impoliticand generaily unreaso able, for Oakland ministers intellectually rank among the highest in the State. The old method of not permitting street meet- ings on thoroughfares traversed by electric roads worked no hardship and was gener- ally pooular. A return to it would be the most amicable and judicious method of obviating the present nuisance. nuisance. reach The sale of Sessions’ basin Saturday drew forth many expressions of sympathy for one of the few progressive men Oak- Jand has known. Five years ago E. C. Sessions was one of the most solid capital- ists of Oakland. At that time the only street railroad to East Oakland. was the one-horse car line on Twelfth street that ran to Thirteenth avenue and back, and that ran the same route fifteen years ago, but probably with another horse. Mr. Sessions built the Eighth-street electric road, at that time the second road of the kind in this county. He sunk the largest Eurt of his fortune in it. Before it wasa pancial success several other lines par- alleled his and the opposition proved to be stronger than he could overcome. At a consigerable loss he naw the road go into other hands. At that time Mr, Sessions was president of the Oakland Bank of Savings and he did that which at once stamped him ae one of the most noble men of Alameda County. The bank held the earnings of hundreds of small families, all of whom would haye ered by a run such as can always be in- gatea by competitors. Knowing that bis losses might jeopardize others shounld they be exploited, Mr. Bessions surprised his colleagues on the board of directors by suddenly resigning, and giving as his only reason that it was his duty to do so. And Jot one cent of the bank’s money was in }:eri]. Sessions Basin was a tract of marsh and that its owner improved and filled in, It was mortgaged to help some other en- terprise, and will be valuable before long. Mr. Sessions is an old man now, and his hair is white. He may neyer reap even a proportional benefit from his investments, but East Oakland is under a large debt of gratitude to ths honest capitalist. One of the most significant events of the past week, and which will prove of great benefit to Oakland, is the extension of the engagement of “The Old Homestead’’ Com- pany. There isan old maxim that a good show-town is a good business town. For thirty years—one whole generation—this city has been accustomed to think thata “‘theater-boat” went to San Francisco about twice a week. Within the past two years this idea has been forgotten and Oaklanders seem to be aware of the fact that they are a city of 70,000 people—almost large enough to be worth a little patronage from themselves. And what is true of the theatrical business is true of others. Itis | of more than passing value to Oakland to be known throughout the country asa city where a first-class company can depend on a wholé week of good business. Stuart W. BoorH. Alameda County Schools. The County Superintendent of Schools has»iust cpmpletes his report which will | be filed with the State Superintendent in a | few d The figures are interesting, showing in a comprehensive manner the educational status of Alameda County. k There are 403 schools in the county, viz., 6 high schools, 154 grammer and 243 pri- mary schools. The 71 male teachers em- ployed receive an average salary of $126.32, and the 382 femalé teachers average $81 61. The total receipts from all sources was $705,963, and of Sxis sum $596,621 has been expended. The estimated value of school- houses and furniture in the county is placed at $1,607,831, Oakland Navy Races. The races of the Oakland Navy were sailed over the new course yesterday. The first race was for canoces and_sloops, and was won by Captain Jack Whitehead’s Flash. The Brownie, Major and Nemesis finished in the order named. There was an open race for all classes, but it wasa very quiet affair and was won by Captain Williams’ Nimrod. There was a moderate breeze blowing, and the first race was fairlv well contested, but no time records were broken. The Artist Tramp In Jail. George W. Harriss, the artist tramp whose reputation extends all over the State, arrived in Oakland Saturday after- noon, and early yesterday morning he was in the Oakland prison on a charge of beg- ging. Harriss is an intelligent fellow and once filled a lucrative position on a New York weekly. He has taken an oath to live without working and has been in jail wherever he went. It is about a year since he was released from jail in this city. Salvation in a Theater. It was announced yesterday that the Salvation Army will open the People's Theater next Thursday night. There will be a big parade and the officials from head- quarters in San Francisco will be present. The theater is located in the business cen- ter of the city and was a popular playhouse till a month ago. Alameda Sugar Bounties. year's beet-sugar bounty amounted to $850,000. Of this amount more than ,000 came to California factories, the Ala- meds factory at Alvarado getting nearly $87,- . The bou on sugar manutactured prior to be paid. It amounts to 20 the growers as well as the manufacturers, be- cause it was agreed a certain percentage of the bouuty should go to the former.—Heywards Review. LATEST BERKELEY NEWS Town Trustees in Difficulty Over the San Pablo Ave- nue Grading. Part of the Work Done—Protests Ars Offered Agalinst Continulng the Job. One of the most important measures now calling for the immediate attention of the Board of Town Trustees is the macad- amizing of S8an Pablo avenue. The pro- ceedings are in a complicated state and doubtless much difficulty will be experi- enced before matters are properly adjusted, Abcut a year ago the Bosrd of Trustees passed resolutions of intention to grade ard macadamize the southern portion of | the avenue lying within the town limits, the work to be done on the district plan. A large number of protests were made by the citizens owning property along the line of the proposed work, and through delays, bringing the work well into the winter, it was decided to postpone the hearing of protestants until spring. The matter was taken up again in the following February, but the protests were overruled. Contracts were subsequentl awarded, the grading being given to W. fv Schmidt and the macadamizing to the Osakland Rock Company. Schmidt did his work, but the Superintendent of Streets refused to enter into the contract with the Oakland Rock Company on the ground that a protest from parties owning the greater part of the frontage bars the work for six months. This course was taken at the request of the contractors, who promised to immediately sue out a writ of mandate in the Supreme Court, thus securing within a few weeks an adjudication of a point upon which no rufinz had yet been rendered. The contraetors,however, have not carried out their part of the agreement, and the course now to be taken whereby a speedy solution of the case may be made is the problem to be solved. The avenue isone of the main thoroughfares through the west- ern portion of town, and it is con- stantly used by teams passing to and from Contra Costa and Oakland. Tt is said by experts that if it is left without macadam during the coming winter it will be quite impassable, and a large portion of the grading may have to be done over again. The property along the section of the street which was supposed to have been macadamized is owned for the most part in large tracts, and some of these owners pro- pose to resist the intended improvementa with all their power. In consequence of their continued protests the matter is one full of difliculties, and_a lively time is an- ticipated by the Town Board before matters shall have been completely adjusted. —————— A New Veneer. The production of a new kind of veneer- ing material is noticed in the German papers, the substance being composed prin- cipally of infusorial earth mixed with vari- ous binding and coloring ingredients and spread in layers over a wooden core. On the mass becomin drf it is cut into sheets or blocks, and if the layers have been dif- ferently colored, their irregular. section gresan!s an effect resembling that of igured wood. For its expeditious produc- tion a machine is arranged by which two wooden posts, thirteen feet high and about five feet apart, are made to revolve about & vertical axis. Each post hag twenty-four horizontal branches radiating from it, and these branches as well as the posts revolve easily about their own axis. -In the gmcesu of manufacture the horizontal ranches are first covered with paper, to grevent any of the composition sticking to hem, and then painted with ths mixture of infusorial earth, coloring matter and gum. The branches attached to one of the posts are first painted with one coat, and the machine is then revolved soasto bring the other post near the operator; by the time the branches of the second post are coated, those of the first post are dry and ready to be revolved into position for a second coat. In this manner, the paint- ing fou on continuously,until the branches are loaded with a coat of composition nine or ten inches thick; the color of the coats is made alternately dark and light, and the thickness of the stratum is varied, so as to imitate the varying thick- ness of the annual ringsin a tree.” When all is thoroughly dry the cylinders of com- position are slipped off their wooden cores usnd sawed or cut into vencers,.—New York un, Ma}g;land has an assessed valuation of $497,807,673. BULLSEYES OVER THE BAY. The Verein Eintracht Shoot- ing Section Gives a Picnic. CROWDS AT SCHUETZEN PARK, Most of the Victorlous California Marksmen Rested After Thelr Trip. The Verein Eintracht Shooting Section’s excursion to Schuetzen Park yesterday drew hundreds and hundreds of people, merrymakers and marksmen, their wives and sweethearts, to Schuetzen Park, S8an Rafael. The merrymakers had it all their way all of the day, while the marksmen were content to burn powder and plug bullseyes for a few hours in the afternoon. The excursionists loaded the steamboat to the rails and, when they reached their destination, spread out over the pleasure grounds everywhere. They crowded the vine-covered arbors and the seats on the spotted thoroughbreds on the merry-go- round. They rattled the balls on the bowling alleys and scattered the pins with well-aimed shots. They patronized the assert that the scores will have a different complexion when it comes to the actual st. Besides the regular monthly bullseye shoot at the park there was the Butchers’ picnic, horse racing. bicycle racing, pigeon shooting and also athletic and other games.

Prior to the arrival of the members of the other shooting clubs, the members of the Eintracht shooting section had a prize shoot of their own, three shots each, pos- sible 75, the following being the ten best scores: Theodore Binner 66, F. A. Kuhls 65, A. Auer 63, J, Zahn 60, A.Stamer 54, C. F. Auer 54, R. Stettin 54, Charles Gum- bal 53, J. Rohr 51, H. Schroder 50. A. ‘Wintner made the best first shot, 23. R Captain Kuhls was everywhere in evi- dence, seeing to it that nobody missed any of the fun, not forgetting meanwhile to shoot strongly enough to take the second rize in the shoot. Everybody appreciated is efforts, as every one knew that to his energy and enterprising spirit the Ein- tracht owes much. Besides being an ex- cellent marksman, having wom many tro- phies and medals, he has been industrions in fostering the interests of the society in every way. He was active in the move- ment to Jocate in the present headquarters on Twelith street, and in all the works of the Eintracht, even to the prominent part he took in Saturday night's parade, he has been to the front. That being the case, 1t was no wonder that crowds joined in the exeursion earl in the day and more came pouflnf in wit] the other |hootin§‘ clubs in the afternoon. It was expected that most of the wearers of shooting laurels, recently snatched from Eastern brows, would be foremost, but the crowd had to be content with the presence of D. B. Faktor, who was the only one of the California -{alenfion which made such arecord in_the Easttoturn up. He was cheered and congratulated repeatedly, and to show that he appreciated the compli- ments he made one of the finest scores of the afternoon. The other members of the winning team, it was stated, were too much fatigued with their trip to give up their Sunday rest. The big shoot of the day was that of the California Schuetzen Club, a large number of the members turning out with guns un- limbered. They shot bullseyes for money prizes, standing at the end in the order named: Otto_Burmeister, D. B. Faktor, D. W. Mc- Laughlin, A. Enrenpfort, C. Thierback, O. Eging, J. Utschig Br., A. Mocker, A.

Results of the Horse and Bioycle Races and Pigeon Shooting, The Oakland track was crowded with butchers, cyclists and sportsmen yester- day. The first event of interest was a trot- ting match for $300 a side, mile heats, best twe of three. The entries were W. Pat- rick’s Dandy and D. Roberts’ Billy. The first heat was exciting and Billy won by a head in 2:31. In the second heat Dandy lost his feet and Billy jogged home in 2:39. The %:geon-shoaters were the members of the Recreation Gun Club, It was the regular monthly prize contest, and Slade was declared the winner withja clean score of 12 birds. Ross killed 7, Barney 11, Randell 10, Fay 12 and Haight 8. Fay isnot a member of the club and only con- tested by cnurtelg.

Then, too, each and all, outside of the feelings of homesickness caused by a month’s absence, suffered from weariness. Their trip was an eventful one from the start, and, there was little or no chance iven them for rest. When not engaged n the ucifiné contests of the festiv: were involved in a perpetual round of al intercourse with Eastern friends and admirers. “No one can say that the Eastern le are not hospitable,” said George Helm, champion of the ring target. “Wherever we went they could not do enough to make | % us feel at home. In New York everythis was at our dis) ,and in Chica ms Milwaukee it was the same way. In fact, if we had accepted all the invitations of hospihmfl’ which were extended to us from 8t. Louis and a dozen other cities we would not have been back here for a month to come. It may seem strange, but there Sround Whea werdia 8 well Mo syt of when we did s0 0 spirit of jealousy was shown because we carried off some of the best honors. On the streets and elsewhere the Californians were cheered, and there is not one of the part; but what will remember with kindliest an warmest feelings the trip."” The local shooting. cl\&a who made such a display in honor of the returned marks- men are inclined to do more gec to show their appreciation of the wonderful work the delegation performed and the credit which was retlected on the California clubs thereby. It has been suggested by Captain John F. Bolts of the San Francisco Schuet- zen Verein that a_banquet be tendered them at the Ocean View House of Henry Dorscher, the president of the verein, near the Cliff House, some time during the week, and the matter will be carried out beyond adoubt. An early meeting will probably be held to make arrangements for it. THE OARSMEN ARE ACTIVE Local Clubs Occupied With Preparations for the Sacra- mento Races. The South Ends Anxious to Meet Any Professional Crew on the Coast. Every Sunday Long Bridge and the wharves in its immediate vicinity are crowded with enthusiastic admirers of this branch of sports, while on the bay the scene is animated. Boats of every descrip- tion may be seen gliding hither and thither, and many impromptu races are often held which afford amusement and excitement for the onlookers. Among the spectators who visited the bridge yesterday were noticed several of the old-time oarsmen and past masters with the spoons. They watched the per- formances of the young bloods who are aspiring to the fame of a Peterson, a Gaudaur or a Teemer, and expressed the opinion that San Francisco will be able to turn out more than one formidable bidder for the world’s championship honors. The work of young Frank Duplissea and E. Mc- Causland received paiticular mention. They are neither of them out of their teens, but each holds a championship. Frank Duplissea is the champion senior amateur single-sculler of the coast and he is also stroke of the champion senior crew of the coast, whose personnel is as follows: Henry Bode, w; Bob McArthur, for- wardwaist and captain; Gus Carson, after- waist; Frank Duplissea, stroke; George McGrill, coxswain. E. McCausland holds the junior cham- pionship in the single scull. Frank Du- plissea 1s a member of the South End Club, while McCausland sports the colors of the Ariel Boat Club. Enthusiasm among the rowing fraternity in regard to the Sacramento regatta is in- tense, and although the affair is still more than a month away the coaches of the various clubs are working like Trojans getting their men in form for the contest. But few of the crews for this regatta have been made up as yet, most of the clubs trying out men. r. Spillane, a well-known oarsman and captain of the South Ends professional crew, voiced his opinion in regard to pro- fessional roWng in the following manner: “At present professional rowing is dead. This amateur athletic association controls all the regattas, and as professionals are not wanted we are never offered a prize for which to row. We can’'t become rein- stated amateurs, and we are not going to become relegated to the ranks of the ‘has beens’ on this account, but it is the inten- tion of my crew to boom professional row- ing if we can. We stand ready to row any crew on this coast a professional barge race. The members of the crew are: Jack Spil- lane, bow and captain; Jerry Murphy, forwardwaist; Fred Damke, afterwaist; William Bhea, stroke, and Jack Healy, coxswain. ‘The members of the Dolphin Boating and Swimming Club are kept busy these days getting their oarsmen in trim for the Sacramento regatta and the building of their new boathouse. New members are constantly being added to their club’s roll. Those who became members last meeting Were: Arthur Len- non, Frank Kelly, F. Giovanni, Andy Pastene, John Murron and Judge Keogh, Their new boathouse will be erected at the foot of Van Ness avenue, and their crews that will row in the coming regatta will be as follows: Senior—Jack Coughlin, stroke; Tom afterwaist; A, Kennedy, Ronard, forwardwaist; (o Farrel, bow and captain; and George Roach, coxswain. Junior—J. Bartman, stroke; E: Sullivan, afterwaist; B. Logan, forwardwaist; W. 0. Patch, bow and captain; and George Roach, coxswain.. They are now in regu- lar training, POTTERY AND PIGEONS, Some Good Shooting Done on Bluerocks and Live Birds. The Lincoln Gun Club, the oldest inani- mate-target club in California, held its fifth monthly shoot at Alameda Point yester- day. The club members turned out in great force, and the large crowd of friends and spectators made it evident that there is a great deal of interest taken in shooting at inanimate targets. “Bluerocks” were used and sprung from five traps, each shooter knowing at what angle the object would be thrown. The shooting was done in squads of five. Before the medal shoot began a 10-bird match, $1 entrance, was decided. The scores were as follows: Cate 10, Bruns 9, Fisher 8, Fanning 10, Pot- ter 8, Wenzel 8, Shngfi. Cohen 4, Wagner 4, Franzen 8, Daniels &, Quinton 7, Winired 6, ‘Whitlrg 9, Baum 7.
