The case may go to the jury this week. To Test His Own Law. For many years the sidewalks of the in thoroughfares of Oakland have been bt lers for the display of goods. ‘When M. C. Chapman was Mayor he ap- proved an ordinance regulating traffic and sales on the street, and preventing such traffic and sale from endangering the pub- lic comfort and safety. The street sales of goods, in spite of the ordinance, have grown to such great proportions that the resident merchants and storekeepers are anxious to drive the peddlers from the streets. : g The Merchants’ Exchange tock the mat- ter up several months ago and tried to in- iuce the Council to pass an amendment to the ordinance, and place the amount of license required at such a high figure as practically to prohibit peddling within certain limits. i ants was tabled, but License inspector Mitchell preceeded to enforce the old ordi- nance in all its details. ; V. T. Braga was arrested for violating its provisions, and backed by some eighty producers and vendors he has decided to test its validity. Ex-Mayor M. C. Chap- man, who signed the ordinance, has been retained to test its validity, and ne de- clares that when he signed it he had grave doubts, which have since become certain- ties, as to its constitationality.

OAKLAND OFFICE, SAN FrANcCIsco CALL,| 908 Broadway, October 22. | The fi | run Club was held to-night at of Mrs. S. B. Cheek, 67 The club was organized two weeks ago by Mrs. Cheek. the widow of the late Dr. | Marion Cheek, who was one of the chief councilors of state in Siam. The club is | organized entirely for the working women | of Oakiand. | The objedf of the Chuiarun Club are to elevate its members, to give them enter- tainment and to bring them in touch with society. The somewhat pecnliar name of the club is sufficiently explained when its meaning is understood. Itisa Siamese, word which means prosperity. Mrs. S. E. Carrington of this city is assisting Mrs. Cheek in_arranging various entertain- ments and lectures. Miss Horton, a well- known educator of this city, will also take an active part in its management. Mrs. Carrington was a resident of Siam for many years, and that interesting country will supply many subjects for her lectures. Invitations have been extended to all the young working women in Oakland and as there is no expense whatever attached to membership the club should prove a big success. Mrs, Cheek ana her friends and colleagues defray all expenses. It is desired to secure as members working women under 40 years of age, who are | dependent upon themselves. This is the first organization of the kind that hasever been formed in this citf. and to-night's meeting proved that it will be popular. “I believe this organization will do a | great deal of good.” said Mrs. Cheek to- | day. “I will throw open my home for the benefit of the young women twice every month. We desire to have enrolled every young workingwoman in Oakland. We will give them a little touch | of nome life, such as many of them have | not seen in years. We desire especially to have enrolled in the club the yonng women who are in our stores and who are com- the home 2 Eighteenth street. These are the ones who have little pleasure iniife and have small chance to elevate | themselves. We will endeavor to give | them a little literature and art, a little hygiene and similar subjects, that they may become better women. No other in- | vitation is needed than that any young woman shall have a desire to join the club, and the more that come the better please: we shall be.” REPUBLICANS ORGANIZE.

Thirty-sixth Assembly District met in Twin Peaks Hall, at the corner of Seventeenth and Noe streets, Monday night, to the number of 200, for thé purpose of organizing the official club of that district. The meeting was called to order by Joseph Shearrer, who had been empowered by the executive council of the State Central Committee to form the club. Mr. Shearrer announced the purpose of the call for the meetingand awaited the pleasure of the assembly. Edward Short was chosen as temporary chairman and A. Duffy as temporary sec- retary. On” motion the chair a}gpointed A. At- tridge, W. Thurgood, F. Mernll, M. O'Brien and O. B. King as a committee on the roll of membership of the club.

The opening of the Oakland campaign day evening in the auditorium of the Y. M. C. A. Hall. Last Sunday evening notice of the meeting was given in all the churches, mission halls and Salvation | Army barracks. | The Rev. William Rader, president of the Council for the Suppression of the | Saloons, will preside for the last time over | that body. The severing of his connection | with the council will close the actions of 1lhe members so far as regards Sunday closing and will mark the commencement of a new field of work. Rev. Dr. Coyle will most probably be | elected to succeed Mr. Rader, and as he is | an advanced prohibitionist there will be | nothing uncertain about the manner in { which he will conduet the affairs of the | council.” The refusal of the saloon-keepers | and liguor-dealers to make their own side | of the fight for Sunday closing has proved | that the methods advocated by the coun- | il to attain their end were impracticable. |~ Several years have elapsed since the last | local option campaign was made in this city. It was then a failure, as sufiicient for local option will take place on Thurs- | bers on the baseball backstop. Yesterday a big “’98'" adorned the backstop, which is in a most conspicuous place on the | campus, but this morning the sophomoes’ class number was entirely obliterated and sixteen miniature ‘*’99's’ took 1ts place. These numbers were soon covered with whitewash and another ‘* ’95" ‘{J\lt up. A “rush” was called for 12:10 and about fifty men showed up, but the ‘‘sophs” were in the ascendency and soon vanquished the “freshies.” 5 i At 5 o'clock this evening another rush over the number took place, but again the 98 men were triumphant and completely overwhelmed the small army of 99 men. About 400 spectators witnessed the affair. The rushes to-day were in reality a contin- uation of those which took place last Sat- urday, the day following the ‘freshie’” lee. LB No Game With Olympics. L. A. Hilborn, one of the university athletes, received a_letter to-day from “ Manager Gill of the Olympic Club footbail team, in which the sfatement was made | that on account of it being so difficult for the players to leave their business early enough in the day to come to Berkeley the | proposed game this week with the U. C. | eleven would be declared off. | An effort will be made by the Olympics to get the Berkeley team to vlay a practice hem in San Francisco, at an game with t early date. | Exercises to Be Suspended. i Thepresident of the university has an- | nounced that there will be no sessions of | the U. C. on the day of the funeral of Re- | gent Ainsworth, who died last Sunday. | Up till late to-night no dispatches had | been received by the university authorities | stating what day the funeral would take | place, but it was the general impression that it would be Thursday. —————— MISS SHOREY'S DEBUT. | To Be Made at the First Methodlist Church Thursday Night. | OQAKLAND OFFICE 1sco CALL,] | 908 ay, Oct, 22. § | Miss Eva Shorey, one of the most popu- lar young ladies of this city, will make her debut at the First Methodist' Church Thursday evening.

The liquor-dealers have given some prononnced utterances of their opinion re- garding those who would drive them out of the business. They assert that a large | portion of the city’s revenue is derived | from their licenses und that it would be | bad policy to force the question to an issue. At next Thursday’s meeting an aggress- ive plan of campaign will be outlined. As both sides are showing a determined front the conflict is being watched with great interest. BERKELEY SCHODL BONDS THE BOARD OF EDUCATION UNAN- IMOUSLY FAVORS A LEVY OF $120,000. OrymPpIic FoOoTBALL MEN DECLINE TO MEET THE UNIVERSITY PLAYERS. BERKELEY, Cav., Oct. 22.—The Board of Education held a meeting last night, and the school bonding question came up for discussion. President Boone informed the board that since they had taken action relating to the bond question he had attended the meet- ings of the improvement end progressive clubs, and at them had observed an entire willingness on the part of citizens present to incur the indebtedness necessary for the construction and proper equipment of bet- ter school buildings. He then recommenaed to the board that they rescind their former resolution which called for $100,000 bonds, and that the amount be fixed at $120,000. This recom- mendation was carried unanimously.

The success of Miss Dothea Fisher in the East, who made her debut here a couple of years ago, and of Miss Little, who made her first appearance last | week, has invested Miss Shorey’s debut with a great deal of interest. The debutante’s favorite color is pink, | and everything that can be of that shade | will be ‘in evidence Thursday evening. Miss Shorey’s dress will be of that tint, and the decorations and boutonnieres of the ushers will also be pink. Miss Con- stance Jordan and Mr. Minetti, with Rob- ert Lloyd, will assist in making the debut a success. BOYS BATTLE WITH GUNS, TW0 YOUTHFUL GANGS ARMED ‘WITH SEVEN WEAPONS FIGHT NEAR ALAMEDA. W. E.

Besecker, one of his creditors, objects and alleges that Peterson has fraudulently concealed property and refused to pro- duce his book of accounts in court.

A quiet raid was made on the house and one of the girls was found outside and easily captured. The other, In1 Fung, was inside and some strategy was necessary to gain an entrance. When the rescuers finally got the door open the girl fought savagely and tried to escape. The pro- prietor of the house locked the party in and they had some difficulty in opening the door, finding a sullen mob of Chinese outside when they finally succeeded. A display of revolvers was necessary to prevent the angry Chinese from attempt- ing to liberate the girl, but both slaves were finally safely landed in the mission, and Secretary McComb of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children ap- plied for the guardianship of the girls yes- terday. —————— HOTEL ARRIVALS.

A Woman Calls Another a Liar While Testifying Before Judge Conlan. Mrs. Ida Seldte of 1425 Hayes street created considerable excitement in Judge Conlan’s court yesterday morning by giv- | ing the lie to a witness who was testifying as to her reputation. Mrs. Seldte had two young men, Alfred Cappole and Charles Walker, arrested about three weeks ago for burglary. Mrs. Seldte, while she went under the name of Mrs. Jones, lived with the defend- ant Cappole’s mother at 969 Howard street, and the arrest of young Cappole has led to a feeling of bitterness beeween the two women. The prosecution closed its case yesterday morning, and Mrs. Cappole was put on the stand for the defense. She testified that Mrs. Seldte was a bad woman and dealt in stolen goods. “‘She is now wearing a cape that was stolen,” continued the witness. Mrs. Seldte jumped to her feet and screamed out: “‘You're a liar. You're a miserable lying wretch.”” With clenched fists and flashing eyes she made a rush for Mrs. Cappole and was about to strike her when Policeman Bean seized hold of her, and Judge Conlan ordered him to take her out of tne courtroom. She went into the room where the witnesses were waiting to be called, and a few minutes later a youn, woman rushed into the courtroom nng asked the Judge for protection as Mrs. Seldte was grossly insulting her. Mrs. Seldte was taken into court and lectured by the Judge. Then she took her de- parture. —_———— THE FAIR CONTEST. No Hearing on the Probate of the Will Expected Next Month. The beginning of the Senator Fair will contest, set on the court calendar for No- vember 4, will probably be postponed on account of the test case concerning the right of the trustees to control the Lick House property.
