OUTRAM'S Rabbl Friedlander Belleves Hebrew Women Should Have Greater Freadom. OAKLAND OFFICE 8AN FrANCIECO (‘Au..} 908 Broadway, Oct. 6.

Although not reasonable to suppose t Davie invited the bankers to be they were there, and they pleaded e Council to adopt the ayor's for reforms in the First Hebrew Congrega- tion. Dr. Friedlander’s effort to give women members of his church the rightto vote at the election of officers cannot help but be popular. “I can see no reason wh women should be members of the chnrcg and should not be permisfed to have a voice in the election of their officers,” he said. *‘Women are educated to-day as never before—let them therefore have priv- ileges. If a single woman isa member of our church and pays an annual subscrip- tion she cannot vote, and that is not right.”’ Mr. Morehouse, the State Equalizer and banker of Ban Leandro, must have been greatly shocked Saturday morning when he learned that Judge Ellsworth had de- cided that Morehouse could not do exactly as he pleased. Mr. Morehouse has said, when seeking election, that he always votes the straight Republican ticket, and €0 he must have voted for Judge Ellsworth. For years Mr. Morehouse has been on the State Board. A year ago the Alameda County Supervisors needed an extension of time to fix some assessments. The life of the local board expired that night. Mr. Morehouse, while in Sacramento, did the needed thing; he got a majority of the board, at least it is presumed he did, and they granted the extension, and at 8 | o’clock Clerk Crane read a telegraphic ex- tension at the adjourned mesting of the | board. This year it was Dalton, not | Leckie, who has been elected to make honest assessments, and unless the Su- preme Court reverses Judge Ellsworth, | which is not likely, Mr. Morehouse will | have to take his medicine like a little gen- Stuart W. BooTH. THE OUTRAM MYSTERY. | Not the First Shortage at the Cemetery Association’s Office. The defalcation of Edward P.Outram, secretary of the Mountain View Cemetery | Association, is being discussed in every quarter of town, but no one has as yet been able to throw any light on the mys- | tery. What Outram could have done with Miss Beatrice Priest. figure. This is enough for the average | Oakland politician who cares little for the merits of a case so long as he use the sur- face'of it to help his argument. Saturday | night therefore marks an epoch—whatever that is—in the political career of John L. Davie. Now that the ordinance is finally passed by toe Council the fate of the levy is in the hands of the Mayor and as was stated in this paper three weeks ago, it will be vetoed, and unless there be a falling down of some member of the Solid Four the veto cannot be passed over. It isnotlikely that there will be yielding on either side, for although only a creek separated the fac- tions a week ago, the heated arguments that have intervened since have created a breach wide as an ocean. This being so, the Mayor at present has the whip hand. “I shall stand firm,” he has said. ‘“There is no merit in this antagonistic attitude of the Council and they will be forced to ac- cept my figures. else, as they cannot pass anything over my veto. The whole business is political clap- trap. The Finance Committee started to fix the tax levy in secret session. Who ever heard of such a thing outside of Oak- Jand? Znd they have been playing poli- tics for over a month. I have employed an expert and we have gone over the re- ports ana the requirements, and I am con- vinced that the city can be run satisfactor- ily on a §1 levy."” It is very evident that the Board of Works, as at present constituted, is a fail- ure. It is impossible for the three mem- bers to satisfactorily perform their duties, and proof of this was given last Wednes- day. A driver of the Fire Department re- fused to accept some oats that had been tendered by the contractor. The City Attorney was surrounded by law books in his office trying to construct a dozen ordinances without a loophole by which delinquents could escape. He is a member of the Board of Works and con- sequently responsible that the city’s horses eat good oats only. Into the City Attorney’s office rushed the contractor with a sample of his oats. He emptied it on the attorney’s desk with the exclama- tion, “Ain’t them good oats?”’ The law- yer looked at the grain carefully and said it was not. Then the contractor rushed into the Mayor’s office with the same uery. B “They're delicious oats,” said the Mayor, eating a few. Then the contractor an the Mayor walked down to the City At- torney’s office and together they inspected the oats, but decided to submit the mighty matter of oats to the Citfv Engineer, who was inspecting a sewer miles away. The Board of Works has to carry out all the work authorized by the Council. This necessitates them giving the whole of their time to the office. At present each fills an important city office and besides each has rivate practice, and the city’s work is left to the ravages of contractors and po- litical manipulators. The withdrawal of the powerful support of the First Presbyterian Church from the Alameda County Christian Endeavor Union is a crisis in the history of the En- deavor movement. During the last county campaign the indorsing of a special ticket by the Endeavorers was the cause of much comment. The organized effort made egainst the Republican candidate for Sheriff ended in a suit for libel against E. A. Sherman, president of the County Christian Endeavor Union. The case was dismissed on a technical defense, but every- body would have preferred to see Sherman win on the merits of the case rather than tuke advantage of a technicality. This truckling to politics injured the work by surrounding the efforts of its most active members with uuuFicion, and Dr. Coyle declared most positively against the ‘ndeavorers making any such campaigns. He is anxious that all ministers in charge of churches shall be_made ex-officio mem- bers of the executive committee of the County Union. Reason certainly is on his side, as experience has shown that the young men have not so far been able to run the union free of libel suits. His reso- lution was defeated by & narrow vote, and he has thrown down the gauntlet by with- drawing from the union. The outcome will be watched with interest. Rabbi Friedlander is stricing out boldly They can do nothing | ‘Will D. Fine. $8600 is not apparent, as he was not known to have a single extravagant habit and he had a good salary. It was recalled to-day that about three years ago a large sum of money was stolen from the same office and at the suggestion of Messrs. Henshaw and Tubbs a detective followed a certain per- son for several days. After a few days the Sheriff’s office reported that suspicion pointed to some one in the office, but no more was heard of it. The detective who was employed said to-day that it was evi- dent to bim that there was a general de- sire to hush the matter up. Now that this second shortage has oo- curred all sorts of rumors are rife and it is stated that his departure could be ex- 1plaidnefl by some one who is still in Oak- and. The Musical Moke. Edward Taylor, known to Salvationists as ‘“‘the musical moke,” spoke at the Citadel to-night. Taylor is one of the headquarters staff of New York. He is | accompanied by his wife, who was an Oak- land High School girl named Miss Pascoe, There was a little romance connected with their marriage which has not yet | been told. Ta{lm‘ joined the army and | after a while fell in love with Miss Pascoe. The army rules prohibit marriages on | sight and prescribe a certain term of court- | ship. Taylor and his affianced chafed under the restriction, and one nligh: they eppeared at Major fiyle‘u San Francisco office and said: *‘Major, if you wen’t let us get married to-night we'll leave the army.” They were fortified with a license, and Major Kyle married them. To Help the Home. The Colored Ladies’ Bazaar, which has been open at the A. M. E. Church, Fif- teenth street, during the past week for the benefit of the Old People’s Home building fund, will close to-night, after a most suc- | cessful run, with the trial of King Alcohol | for the murder of J6hn Doe before Judge | F. C. Clitt. The prosecution will be rep- | resented by J. 8. Francis of San Franoisco, | and the defense by Thomas Pearson of this city. Priest-Fine Marriage. The wedding 1s_announced of Miss Beatrice Priest to William A. Fine, son of Dr. Fine of East Oakland. Miss Priest has been one of Oakland’s favorite singers for the past two years and is at present one of the most popular members of the staff of the Conservatory of Music. W. A. | Fine is secretary of the Democratic City | Central Committee, and is very popular in this city. He is a member of & law firm in San Francisco. The wedding will take place at the First Congregational Church, October 22. Dexter Is Missing. A report was made to the Coronmer to- day that Charles William Dexter of 961 Eighth street was missing. He left his home last Thursday to visit a friend at Fruitvale, and he has not since been seen. LATEST BERKELEY ITEMS, Another Greek-Letter College Fraternity Soon to Be Established. Funeral of an Old Resldent—~Taxes for the Town of Berkeley Due. University Hollday. BERKELEY, Oct. 6.—Rumor has it that a chapter of the Chi Psi fraternity isabout to be founded at the university. For sey- eral days past a number of those who have been mentioned in connection with the establishment of the new secret organiza- tion have been looking very suspicious, ana from the very nature of the order ob- served almost an unbroken silence with regard to the chapter that is about to be swung out. Notwithstanding their pur- pose to keep the matter silent, a few facts leaked out, and now the new fraternity is the talk of the campus. Those who are mentioned as forming a rt of the charter membership are: sross '96, Bender 99, Macdonald '97 and Laws ’08. It is said that their charter will be secured through the Stanford chap- ter, and that the inignim;l will take place some time during the coming week. The fraternities are becoming numerous in the university, three new chapters hay- ing been founded last year, one of which local organization and the other two National. Funeral of Mrs. Monterichard, The funeral of Mrs. Marie Monterichard, one of the oldest residents of Berkeley, who died last Saturday evening at her home on University avenue, took place this afternoon from the French church in San Francisco, A short service was held at her late residence prior to the departure of the funeral cortege for the City.

The football men will practice as usual, however, in the afternoon. — CRICKET OVER THE WATER, The Champion Alamedas De- feat the Bohemians at Alameda. And the Californias Succumbed to the Play of the Pacifics at Golden Gate. Two most interesting cricket matches were played yesterday. At Alameda the Bohemians met the Alamedas, and were defeatea by 23 runs. The two stand-bys of the Bohemian Club, Captain Robertson and his first lieutenant, Dr. Bowhill, did yeoman service, making 90 runs between them in superb form. Unfortunately they were but ill-supported by the other mem- bers of the team, so that the side was dis- posed of for 118 runs. The Alamedas had a comparatively weak team in the field, and their scores, with one exception, were small. But that ex- ception turned the scales in their favor. It was J. J. Moriarty, who compiled 91 runs with absolutely faultless play. ‘Papa” Ward was also in good form, as will be seen in the following score and bowling analysis: BOHEMIANS. W. Robertson b. Hogue V.P.

An advisory commitiee consisting of the supreme calef ranger, supreme sccretary and suprame treasurer has been established. The duties of this committee will be principally (o attend to the purchasing of supplies and contract for and supervise the printing. Three additional commit- tees in the Supreme Court have been established, Yiz.: Appeals and grievances, rulesof order, press.

Amendments specifically defining what a finan- clal member and a member in good stand- ing is were adopted. Social membership was established, and to this class only those who are unable to pass the necessary medical examiuation or those who are over 50 years of age will be eligible. Honorary member- ships can no longer be conferred on outsiders.

The amended constitution of the Grand !fidfe, Degree of Honor, bas been promulgated by Mrs. Esther Lovejoy, grand chief of hounor. The necessity of exércising care in designat. ing beneficiaries has been again demonstrated in the caso of a deceased member of one of the City lodges. He designated as his beneficlary some years ago his sister, whoresided in Texas. The sister died before the member and he meade no other designation. Under the laws of the order, the moneydue is payable to his heirs-at-law, It was the intention of the brother that his beneficiary should be either his sister in Texas or her children, but because of his failure to make a new designation after her death only one-half of the amount will be paid tosald children, as the child of another deceased sister, located in Pennsylvania, will be entitled to one-hali of the amount, while the six children of the sister in Texas will re- ceive the other half.

The order, which will then be twenty-two years old, has & mem- bership of 530,000, represented by lodges in the United States, Canada and British Columbia. Grand Master Workman Twitchell of the jurisdiction of the State of Washington writes to a friend in the order here: We are prospering beyona our fondest hopes. For the month ending September 20 our net gain was, to the best of my recollection, 211 members. On Monday evening, the 23d of September, Colum- in Lodge No. 2 of Seattle initiated ninety-nine members and had twenty-seven more applications on filo. We have had to contend with a score of so-called ‘‘cheap’ orders, but “blocd will tell,” and we are growing while they ore decaylng.
