OARLAND OFFICE SAN FRAX 908 Broadws Isaac Bottomley, the Temescal dog- fighter, was sentenced to pay a fine of $350 | or spend 175 days in the County Jail by Justice Clift this morning. His attorney moved for a new trial, but it was denied, 50 & notice of appeal was filed. Bottomley was unable to raise bonds, so he was taken o the County A demurrer was entered to all the com- vlaints nst all the defendants whose cases are pending on the ground that the e of the fight was not specified. The court held that the point was well taken and dismissed all the cases. The District Attorne however, was prepared with new complaints, and so the freedom of the defendants was only for a few minutes. Bail was fixed on esch case at $50, which is double that required under the first com- plaints. Robbed His Neighbor’s Tent. Carl P. Schieg, who was arrested two years ago in May at the Adventists’ camp- meeting, then being held at Bushrod Park, near Temescal, for stealing from a fellow- camper’'s tent, has been heard of again. He s ed money, bank draftsand jewelry to the amount of $213, which he secreted in a closet, where it was found by the offi- ers. He was held by the Superior Court for trial in $1000 bonds. After lingering in the County Jail for a while and stoutly maintainine that he was a victim of circumstances, the District At- torney allowed him his freedom upon his own recognizance, and later the informa- tion against him was dismissed on the ground of insutiicient evidence to convict.

Both men stated their case, and Mr. Broadwell told the engineer to go ahead with his work and iv would be all right. Then the trouble between the two part- ners began. The engineer decided he could not suit two masters when their wills were opposed to each other, so he quietly took his clothes and sought safety among the other hands in the mill. “T would like to know what you have to say about the engineer,” demanded the irate Councilman. “I hired ‘him, and I believe I have the right to discharge him whenever I see fit.” ““What do you know about runnin, engine,” was the reply; “you coul keep it going ten minutes.” Both men then began to talkat once, and in 2 moment the lie was passed. The long arm of the fighting Councilman fell llke a triphammer striking Broadwell square in the face between the eyes. He went down like a log, but was quickly on his feet, and made several passes at his partner, but to no avail, for he could not reach him. Maddened by the blow and enraged at his inability” to punish his assailant he grabbed a piece of scantling lying handy, and with one sweep felled the 5ouucilman to the ground.

The scene was pretty and interesting. After taking the names the young sol- diers gave their testimony in a straight- torward manner, and each received from | Ensign Reid a copy of the Bible. The lit- tle ones were very proud of the gifts and walked off the platform like little majors.

His office opens into the office of the Board of Works and also into the “walk in’’ anteroom to his own sanc- tum. If his relations with the new secre- tary of the Board of Works were a little less strained, Mr. Spaulding might occa- sionally call the Mayor out ‘‘on important business,”’ just as he was reaching out for his checkbook, and thus save his Honor many dollars daily. But Mr. Spaulding and the Mayor are only passing acquaint- ances, 8o there is no relief from that quar- ter. The only people likely to be on the *‘walk in’’ are those bent on the same mis- | sion as those from whom he could be flee- ing, so there is no escape there. The only remaining exit is through one of the win- dows. and this means suicide. Altogether, the Mayor of Oakland well earns what lit- tle of his salary is left to him. TOWLE BITES THE DUST, The President of the Council One of the Principals in a Brawl. Trouble Over an Engineer Causes a Disgraceful Scene Between Partners. OARLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL, 908 Broadway, Oct. 15. } President John F. Towle of the City Council frequently boasts during heated debates in that body that he is “‘a fighter from the word go.” This afternoon the word ‘‘go”’ applied to his engineer precipi- tated a fight with fists and scantlings, in which President Towle and his partner, M. L. Broadwell, were the principals, and in which both were somewhat damaged, but neither seriously wounded. Towle and Broadwell conduct a general planing and saying mill at Franklin and Fourtn streets, just opposite the court- house. There has been a difference of opinion between the members of the firm dating back a number of years, but which has been growing wider as it grew older. Two weeks ago fire destroyed the engine- room and office, and the damage is now being made good. The trouble of to-day started over the cutting and shortening of a new leather band which transmits the power from the engine to the shafts, from which the various machines are operated. The engineer informed Mr. Towle that the new belt was larger than necessary, and that it would work much more satis- h_cl.oril?' 1f about a foot wascutout. A discussion arose between' them about the advisability of making this cut, the up- shot of which was that, in his anger, Mr. Towle informed the engineer he could take his clothes and ‘‘go.”” The engineer shut off steam and began to clean up prepara- tory to going, while Mr. Towle nursed his rage. fi'hen the machinery of the whole mill stopoed Mr. Broadwell went out to the en- gine-room to discover the cause. Here he { fight was well on. The men, seeing some one was likely to | be seriously hurt, interfered and separated | the now thoroughly enraged men, and | one went in search of an officer. There | were mutterings, however, which indicated | only a calm inthe storm. Stinging from | the idea that they had both been down, | the two partners could not quit and cail | it even, and before a hand could be raised they were at it again, clubbing each other, | but doing no damage as far as could be seen by the onlookers. ‘‘Here comes the police,” cried one of | the men standing nearest the street. That | was enough. Theé two men dropped their | clubs and rushed through the mill and out on the other street, jumped into their | buggies and drove off in opposite direc- tions. When the policeman arrived, the men were standing about talking over the exciting events which had just transpired. Neither Councilman Towe nor Mr. | Broadwell coula be seen to-night, but it is 1 and then he too secured a weapon and the | not likely that either of them will swear | out warrants. TEMPERANCE MEETINGS, The Alameda Branch of the W. C. T. U. Heartily Indorses “The Call” Valuable and Interesting Sugges- tlons on Law Enforcement—Sie- ben’s Insolvency Opposed. ALAMEDA, Cavn, Oct. 15.—A very largely attended meeting of the Women’s Cbristian Temperance Union was held this afternoon at the residence of Mrs. J. D. Jamison, 2242 San Jose avenue. The ladies interested in the cause of temper- ance have decided upon holding parlor meetings and ‘teas” during the coming winter, at which meetings different im- portant subjects will be discussed. The special subject this afternoon was “Law Enforcement,” and many valuable suggestions were made and some very in- teresting talks were had. Among the ladies present were Mrs. P. Jolidon Croake, county superintendent, and Mrs. C. 8. Sanford of the Humane Society. Mr. Jamison, who is president of the Ala- meda branch, said that the law with re- gard to seiling liquors apd cigarettes to minors was constantly being violated, but that 1t was extremely hard to obtain a | conviction. The union was divided as to where to commence to stop the evil. Were they to arrést the children or try to convict the tobacconists and saloon-keepers who were violating the law? Mrs. Sanford was appealed to, and she, as well as most of the ladies present, were op}fised to com- mencing with thechildren. Mrs. Sanford, from her wide experience, spoke most pointedly, and told the ladies that the task before them was one which required infi- nite patience, persis.ency and persever- ance. She suggested the re-enactment of the law of 1891, and that a lady delegate be sent to Sacramento during the next Legislative session to watch the law-mak- ers carefully, especially the committee- rooms, where moral laws were generally altered—not boldly, butin an underhanded way. . Mrs. N. Jolidon Croake also offered val- uable suggestions. Mrs. McMath spoke on “Social Purity’’ and Mrs. Prescott on “Franchise.” g In conversation with several of the ladies THE CALL was highly praised for the stand it has taken in matters relating to the moral welfare of the community, and every one thought it was the cleanest news- paper on the coast. . Electrician’s Report Favorable. John A. Britton of the Oakland Gas Company, who was to_deliver an address before the Board of Trustees on the mu- nicipal ownership of the electric light plant, haa the matter postponed for two weeks owing to the absence of Trustees Fletter and Hammond. The report of the City Electrician, which was intended to offset the figures of Mr. Britton showing that the plant was an expensive luxury and a drain which the taxpayers could not long maintain, showed that the cost per lamp was only $5 95 for September. The receipts from city lights averaged the same rate as charged for gas, with twice the service in somz cases. The re- port further states that the city had saved at least $300 by municipal ownership in- stead of being lighted by contract. The electrician also suggested that the price for incandescent lizhting by meter should be reduced from 20 cents to 15 cents per 1000 volts. Trouble Over a Board Bill. Mrs. Lempkuh and Mrs. Johnson, resi- dents of the %Vest End, aired their troubles in Justice Swasey’s court this morning, and had not the Justice and Constable von Kapff interfered, the spectators would have been treated to a scngping match, Mrs. Lempkuh has been lodging at the Johnson residence, and there is a dispute about the amount of money owing the latter. Justice Swssei refused to issue a warrant and acted in the capacity of peace- maker. ‘1t is probable that their differ- ences may be adjusted out of court. An Insolvency Petition Opposed. D. E. Bescker, one of the creditors of Curistian Peterson, an Alameda contrac- tor, opposes the latter’s petition to be de- clared an insolventdebtor. Bescker claims that Peterson has not filed a true and cor- rect statement of his assets, but has con- cealed much valuable property with intent to defraud his creditors. Ladies of St. Agnes Guild. The ladies of St. Agnes Guild will give an “‘at home”’ at the resideuce of Mr. and Mrs. H. K. Field Friday evening. A splen- did programme has been arranged. The aamission fee of 50 cents will go toward the worthy object of the guild—charity. Hayden Wants Big Damages. Edward Hayden, who was arrested in Berkeley by Constable Newell on suspicion of being a criminal, has filed an amended complaint in his damage suit for §2000 for false imprisonment. A NEW PROFESSOR HERE, William A. Setchell of the Department of Botany Arrives. Work of the Agricultural Depart~ ment as to Nuts—The Truant Officer. BERKELEY, Car., Cct. 15.—Professor ‘William Albert Setchell, who was recently elected by the Board of Regents to suc- ceed Professor Edward L. Greene as chief of the department of botany at the Uni- versity of California, arrived at his post of duty on this morning’s overland, direct from New Haven. He was escorted to the home of his friend, Professor Edward B. Clapp, where he will remain during the week. When asked if he intended making any radical changes in the botanical courses at the university he said: For the present, at least, the work will eon- tinue elong the same lines that have been pur- sued of late. It will first be necessary, how- ever, for me to consult with Mr. Howe and Mr. n of the department before inaugurating any new plans. We shall attempt to suit the botanieal work to the needs of the medical and other colleges and also to emphasize the economic side of the subject in so far asitis practicable. . Professor Setchell was born in Con- necticut In 1864, graduated from Yale in 1887 with the degree A.B., and in 1890 re- ceived the title Ph.B. from Harvard. For the past four years he has been connected with the Sheflield Scientific School of Yale, and in coming to California resigned an assistant professorship of botany in that Professor William A. Setchell, {From & photograph.} institution, His specialty is_ crypto- gramic or structural botany. Professor Setchell is the author of a number of scien- tific publications and last year was secre- tary of the Society of American Natural- ists. Among his writings are “The Struc- ture and Development of Tuomeya Fluvia- tilis,” “‘Revision of the Species of Doasu- ania” and “‘Concerning the Life History of Saccorluza Dermatodea,” besides a number of special papers on special scientific sub- jects. 2 For Nut-Growers. The agricultural department of the uni- versity has just completed an important investigation, undertaken at the request of some large growers of nuts, especially almonds, for the purpose of devising a bet- ter method for giving to nuts the light color desired by commerce. Very satisfactory results have been ob- tained in the laboratory by operating as follows: The nuts, placed in a cane or splint basket, are dipped for about five minutes into a solution containing for every fifty gallons of water ounds of bleaching powder (commercial hypochlo- rite of lime) and twelve pounds of salsoda. They are then rinsed with a hose, and after draining again dipped inYo a solution of bisulphite of lime (also a cheap com- mercial bleaching agent), or instead the nuts may be lightly gulphured for ten or g(gegn minutes, in the usual way, and then ried. 5 Round-Up of Truants. Truant Officer Esmond has been doin, vigorous work among the truant school children within the last few days Yester- day he succeeded in capturing five small boys who were supposed to have been at their desks. One was a member of the ‘Whittier school, two were from the Ma- loney, one from the Le Conte and another from Lorine. ‘Will Measure the Electricity. Hereafter a complete record of the light- ing service as furnished the town by the Electric Lighting Company will be kept by the Board of Trustees, through the agency of a recently purchased ampere- meter. By its use the citizens may be able to learn exactly how well the terms of the franchise for lighting the town is observed. ‘Will Clean the Streets. An official move will be made in a few days by Street Superintendent Chick toward clearing the weeds and grass from the street gutters and sidewalks at the ex- pense of the property-owners. i Milk to Be Inspected. Dr. Hubert N. Rowell, the Berkele Health Officer, gave notice to-day that il proprietors of dairies and dealers in and peddlers of milk within the town limits must register with him in conformity with the town ordinance. HOW STREETS ARE PAVED, Poor Cement and Faulty Grading in ‘Work Accepted by Ashworth—Grand Jary to Investigate. An evening paper, speaking of the re- ports of “‘City Hall experts” upon faulty street work, say that their cries reminded one of the howls of hungry animals about feeding time. The simile may or may not be a happy one, but it is a well-known fact that the Grand Jury will raise its voice and join in those howls, as that body has a vast amount of evidence before it regard- ing the wretched manner in which the Street Department is managed. Some- body else may howl before the investiga- tion is over. A few n}nya ago Supervisors Hughes, Benjamin and Morgenstern of the Street Committee of the board, with Expert George W. Elder, made an investigation of the streets that have been recommended for investigation by Superintendent Ash- worth. On Lyons ‘street, between Wash- ington and Jackson, paved with basalt blocks, the work was found to have been badly done. The specifications require that all the biocks must be of a certain size and the committee found that those specifications had been openly violated in many in- stances. The blocks were too large and unevenly laid. In many places the joints were found to be from 114 to 2 inches apart, and upon an examination of the gutters, which should be on a concrete bed of not less than 5 inches thick, the cement was found not to exceed 3 inches thick and the gutter bed to be so poorly con- structed that it could be puiled apart with the fingers. The specifications also re- quired that it should have been laid on a mortar bed, one part cement and two parts sand. In this case nothing but sand was found to have been used. The members of the committee after a thorough examination openly declared that they would not approve of such work. On_Tweltth street, between Harrison and Folsom, the committee found the con- crete very poor in spots, and that all the work had been done in a slovenly manner. Expert George Elder examined the aver- age crown of the street and found it to ve 53 inches above the regular grade, and thus the contractor had saved 214 cubic yards of grading, all this in open violation of the specifications. Yet notwithstanding this fact Superintendent Ashworth pro- nounced it a good job. The crossing at Clay and Spruce streets Wwas examined and more violations of sgemficatmns were found. It is required that the macadam used on the crossing should stand what is known as the ‘rat- tler test,” and in this case no such mate- rial had been used. The cesspools were found to be undersized when measured. In every case the committee expressed the greatest surprise that thisfaulty street- wor:(hahould have been approved by Ash- worth. —_———— City and County of San Francisco to George W. and Mary J.
