There was a Mttle informal speech-making at the | club and then all hands sat down to sup- 1 per. The team will be kept in training till the schedule of games is completed. Still Wants a Divorce. Mathilda H. Abbott, the young blonde who made a tugboat marriage with the son of a wealthy Mexican some time ago, and who was the plaintiff in a sensational di- vorce suit brought against her second hus- band, is going to try divorce again.

A Board of Directors Reorganized to Reward the Son of a Texas Ranger. OARLAND OFrFicE SAN Francisco CALL,) 908 Broadway, Nov. 16. { After several years of effort the stanch | Democrats of Alameda County are now rejoicing over the fact that Jack Hays, one of their idols, is not going to get what politicians term “a long-distance jolly.” ¥or several years the rank and.file Democ- | racy. have considered that young Jack was | entitled to recognition, though it certainly | is not for any yeoman service that he has i rendeved the party. Jack is a good fellow | and the son of a brave man, and it is on ac- | | Jack Hays. count of his ancestry that the idea prevails that he should be cared for. In four weeks he will be appointed Superintendent of the State Home for Adult Blind, a place worth $2000 a year. In early days, when this city was an oak forest, Colonel Jack Haye, the old Texas ranger, owned an immense ranch toward the foothills and also considerable land along the water front. He gave to | Gakland the land on which the present | county buildings stand, and was for many | vears Sheriff of Alameda County. He | Was a wealthy and an influential man, a | lord of the manor, and he found an abid- ini place in the hearts of Alamedans. But little by little the vast possessions | of Hays fell into other hands. After his | death the property went still faster, ana it | was but yesterday that one of the finest | manufacturing sites on the water front | was foreclosed upon and passed from the | ranger’s widow to a local bank. Had | voung Jack been a Republican his claim | to reward would have been noticed long | ago, but Alameda County atmosphere has | been chilly for Democrats the last few yearsand Jack bad the misfortune to be one. An effort was made to get Jackin the | val Inspector’s office, but that was too good a thing to pass for Colonel John P. Irish, so the coionel conciuded to fill that | niche. The real secret of Hays' failure to | get the place was the fact that most of his Supporters in Alameda’s Democracy were Hill men, and Irish being a strong Cleve- land supporter could do as he pleased. Then it was thought that voung Jack should stand a good chance of being elected County As: or. At the San Leandro convention last year Jack Hays was nomi- | nated for County Assessor, but there was | a large number of delegates who thought that Captain Hackett deserved that par- | ticular place and much bitter feeling was | exhibited or: both sides, and asa result the Democratic vote was divided and Hays was defeated. . Then it was thought that the son of the Texas ranger was just the man for Port Warden, but there were others who | thought their claims were superior, and | again young Hays was left out in the cold. | But he hasa host of friends and amon, | them some of the very shrewdest politi- cians in the State. They put their heads together and concluded that their last hope | lay in the superintendency of the Blind | Home. | | In order to carry this last point it would | | be necessary to make sure of the votes of | was received with loud applause. three of the five directors.

When the Sheriff arrived at the cabin where the robber lived he found Crowley in his shirt sleeves, and told him he had come to-search the place. He did not handcuff Crowley or keep him covered, but started in to-make a search. While the ‘Sheriff was interested in examining the cabin Crowley ran out, and with the remark quoted was lost to sight. To-day $50 reward was offered for his capture. As Crowley passed Peterson’s ranch he took a hat from a boy’s head and put it on his own and got away into the canyon. Roadmaster - Gansberger of Mount Eden saw that something looked to be wrong and gave chase, but could not catch Crowley. After a futile effort to catch Iim the deputy retufned to the cabin and completed the search. They found a large quantity of cloth, silks, linens, guns, pis- tols and other miscellaneous property, some of which has been identified as bein; art of the gooas stolen from a store a Davisville, Contra Costa Couunty, several weeks ago. Two letters were also found that prove the. man’s identity. although it was not known to the Deputy Skeriff when the man ran off. The leiters relate to some missing securities of the estate of Fred Helat, and tell how they can be obtained. Crowley is a convict, who escaped on May 27 last from Stockton Insane Asylum, where he was confined. Crowley was sent to Folsom for twenty-five years from Men- cocino County for burglary. He lost bis reason and was sent to an asylum. It is now thought that a large share of his in- sanity was shammed 1n order that he might get an opportunity to escape.” He is a very dangerous man and is marked with bullet holes and scars, He had & piciously, and, appearqu to detect that she was watched, she walked away. The | satchel was then searched, and was found to contain several articles, including two purses, with money in them, that had | been stolen. The affair created much ex- citement, but every effort was made to | prevent the unpleasant affair from becom- ing known. An old woman with a bundle caused much merriment a few days ago. She was noticed going from one room to another with a bundle under her arm. She was inquiring for Miss Williams, and everybody was rejoicing that the thief had been caught. At length the woman was called into a room and her bundle searched, and to the dismay of all it con- tained an old skirt that the owner said she intended to try to sell Miss Williams. It was very evident that the woman was partly demented, and she was allowed 1o go. ‘gl‘his system of thievery has reached great proportions,” said a teacher of the High School to-fily. “and we are doing everything in our power to stamp it out. There must be a large amount of confi- dence placed by one ‘)lupil in the honesty of others, and when this is violated no one is safe. any of the pupils work at night and attend school during the day and for one of them to lose an ornament or their purse is a great hardship. Of courseit is | not pleasanv to have to keep an eye on ali our pupils, but what can we do? We must blot out such a stigma on the school and when the offenders are caught I am sure all will want to make severe examples of them.” In the meantime An{ stranger that is seen in the halls of the large High School building is kept under espionage, which is passed Mon% from one vigilante to an- other till he FOOTBALLERS' ROUTINE, Daily Practice Schedule of the Team . at Berkeley University. The Liquor Men Make a Determined Fight in the Superior Court of Alameda County. BERKELEY, Nov. 16.— The football players practiced this forenoon but not this afternoon. They went in a body to attend the Stanford-Olympic game in San Francisco. Practice twice daily, once in the morn- ing and again in the afternoon, will be in order from now on until the great game on Thanksgiving day. This innovation seems to be a necessity from various reasons, notably among which is the lack of hard muszle and the obvious need of more con- certed playing. The latter difficuity ap- pears to have been brought about by the continued changing of men as to their po- sitions. 2 Though Stanford has arranged for three practice’ games with the Olympics next week, it is very probable that Berkeley will have at least two days with them. The three games against the Olympian iants which Berkeley had this week were ruitful of much good, though several ac- cidents were recorded, s left the building. I Ransome, who has been syffering 3 general shaking up, but particularly from injured knees, said to-day that he would come out again on Monday. Hupp is much improved, and will follow closely after Ransome. Wittenmeyer, one of last year's Varsity tackles, who has been practicing for the past two weeks with a hope of again mak- ing the team, will probably be cnt off en- tirely from any further work this year on account of having broken two carnal bones in his right hand during a practice gamne this week. To-day Coach Butterworth commenced Flnyin;z Captain Sherman, the star end, at hall. Much speculation has been going on among old football men as to whether Sherman can get into proper form for half- back at this late stage of the game, espe- cially since he has aiways played end. ‘Wilson and Hutchinson have both been doing great work at end, especially for the past ten days, and since the halves are weak just at” present Butterworth will try to find out what “Eddie’’ can do behind the line. Sherman’s weight is against him for half, he only tipping the beam at 140, but bis faculty of squirming through the line may, toa certain extent, counterbal- ance that defect. The result of the Stanford-Olympic izume this afternoon is looked upon in Berkeley as of no little significance, since the score made by the wearers of the car- dinal was 6 to their opponents’ 0, while Berkeley scored 20 to the Olympies’ 0 only last Saturday. Considering the fact that both universi- ties had a majority of their best men pitted against the Olympics’ best in their respective games, and also that both of the contesting teams to-day had one week Tonger in which to prepare for their match, the preponderance of favor now lies with the Berkeley men, since accordingly it is believed that the two college teams met the Olympics under about equal condi- tions. Crescent Club Entertains. The Crescent Athletic Club’s entertain- ment drew a large crowd to Shattuck Hall last evening. The programme was said to have been the best yet rendered by the organization. The Berkeley orchestra played an overture, after which Attorney W. H. Waste delivered an introductory address, in_which Le spoke of the value of athletic training and of afliliation with a good athletic club. The first athletes to appear were Reed and Kinne of the Crescent Club, who did some clever work on the single horizontal bar., They were followed by John Kitchen of the Acme Club, who earned much ap- plause by his club-swinging. Messrs. McNally, Littlejohn, Leandro and Cotton, all of the Acme Club, did some acts on the leaping board, after which a vocal solo was rendered by Elmer Reed. A boxing bout between Professor | Bean, instructor of the Crescents, and Jack Kitchen of the Acme Club aroused much interest. It was a quick, clever bout ana Messrs. Reed and Kinne of the Crescent Club scored a success with the “brother act’’— an act of tumbling, acrobatic feats, etec. They displayed great agility and were re- warded by a demand for an encore. Other numbers on the programme were double bar feats by Cotton and Leandro of the Acme Club, recitations by the Misses Wil- kins and Fuller, acrobatic feats by Cook, Stagman and Toohy, Acme Club, and for the final act pyramids on ladder by the Crescent Club. Atthe close of the exercises the floor was cleared for dancing. Fight of Liquor Men. The liquor men of Berkeley who were arrested some time ago for selling their goods contrary to the State law and town ordinances are comnmencing to take stren- | uous measures in their own defense. Argument on the appeal of George Stricker’s case to the Superior Court was commenced in Judge Frick’s department, Oakland, this morning. Attorney Chap- man was counsel for Stricker, while J. M. Whitworth and Town Attorney Hayne ap- peared for the pecple. Chapman opened the case. His points were practically the same as those made at StricRer’s trial before Justice James, in which he attacked the constitutionality of the Justices’ Court in Berkeley and the legality of the ordinance. Chapman’s ar- gument occupied the entire morning. At- torney Whitworth took up the defense of the Justices’ Court and made a strong plea in its behalf. Then Attorney Hayne de- fended the liquor ordinance.” At the close of his address Judge Frick gave each of the contending }mnies five days in which to file their briefs. The case will_probably not be decided for two weeks, From indications it seemed that the constitutionality of the Justices’ Court in Berkeley would be upheld. Acknowledged the $20,000. President Kellogg wrote a letter to-day to Attorney Brewster of Boston, Mass., acknowledging the receipt of the $20,000 gift of Professor Harold Whiting to the physics department of the university. He paid a high tribute of respect to the mem- ory of the deceased professor and spoke at length of the unbounded gratitude felt by the University of California for he lasting monument which Professor Whiting reared for himself when making so mu- nificent a gift. CITY HALL FURNITURE, Will Probably Consist of Solid QOak in Antique Finish Throughout. As at Present Proposed the Total Cost Will Not Exceed Over $2000. ALAMEDA, Car., Nov. 16.—The City Trustees decided last evening upon the material out of which the furniture for the new City Hall will be made. Tt will be solid oak in antique finish, and the furniture, although not too expensive, will be very handsome and durable. The furniture for the City Marshal’s office and the police department will be provided for later, the exact requirements of these rooms not being known at pres- ent. Only one-half of each vault will be provided with metal furniture at the present. The rooms of the Board of Health and of the Board of Education will also be furnished later and with money saved from paying rent. The Library 7Trustees will probably furnish the room with metallic furniture at a cost not to exceed the amount of two vears’ rent. The names of the lucky contractors will probably be made public at the meeting of the board Monday evening. The total cost, as at present proposed, will not ex- ceed $2000. City Electric Light Plant. Plans have been prepared for an addi- tion to the electric-light works building at the foot of Park street. The plans of the proposed addition call for a building occu- }wing the entire frontage of a lot 50x158 eet, which has been offered to the city b J.F. Kennedy for $1800. The south wall of the present building will be taken down, making one large room. A 350-horsepower compound Corliss condensing engine and boilers, driving a dynamo capable of gen- erating 2500 incandescent electric lights, are proposed to be added. The present dyn- amo will be moved into the addition, which will be devoted to the incandescent gm of the plant, with room for two other ynamos. The sreuent engines and boilers will be devoted to the arc service, and will thus ega:]g tweuty more arc llghu to be fur- nished, Bicycle Thief Captured. 1895. cle thief in Haywards this morning. The volice have been on the lookout for the man for some time. Although he gave his name as_F. A. Zetencourt, he was recoe- nized as 8. Kaley,who, on October 15, called at the Popular Cyclery on Santa Clara avenue, and stole a wheel. On November 10 he rented another from the cyclery of City Trustee Hammond and disappeared with it. He then gave the name of J. Smith. Trustee Hammond recognized the thief at once and he is now safe in the city prison with a charge of felonious embez- zlement against him. The Verein Germania. The Verein Germania held a meeting last night and decided to move from its present quarters in Olympic Hall on Lin- colnavenue. Harmony Hall on Paru street was the place most favorably discussed as the future home for the verein, but as there are some members who are opposed to the proposition the Alameda Harmonie may meet this evening when some definite action might be taken. The Verein Ger- mania was organized in November, 1891, and now has a membership of over seventy. It has greatly prospered since the adoption of a constitution and by- laws on January 17, 1892. Diamond Cycling Club. The Diamond Cycling Club will hold a five-mile race over the San Leandro course to-morrow, starting at 11 A. m. There are twenty entries, and the bandicapping will be done at the start. About December 15 the club will give a vaudeville show on the same plan as the successful entertain- ment of the Bay City Wheelmen last Mon- day night. ‘Woman’s Press Association. The members of the Pacific Coast ‘Woman'’s .Press Association will be ten- dered a reception on Monday evenin next at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. P, T. Dickinson, 1523 Willow street. Mrs. Dickinson, who is well known under her nom de plume of Hester A. Benedict, is a very popular member of the association. Another Diverce Complaint. Mrs. Tillie Abbott of Haight avenue has filed another complaint for a divorce from her husband. On the 14th of last June she was denied a divorce by Judge Ellsworth. She then sued on the ground of cruelty, and now on the grounds of desertion and failure to provide. Frank M. Stone of San Francisco is the lady’s attorney. Society of Philosophical Research. The Society of Philosophical Research will meet to-morrow at Grand. Army Hall. Subjects to be discussed are, “What Is Inspiration”” and ‘‘Theosophy Ove: hauled and Compared With Spiritualism. Mrs. Stoddard is to give positive proof of immortality. Must Have Licenses. Two expressmen were arrested by the police to-day, one from Oakland and the other from San Francisco. They had no licenses, and it is proposed to make every outsider who comes to this city to do busi- ness to take out the necessary permits. Delinquent Assessments. The assessments for the opening and ex- tending of Buena Vista avenue, at the West End, will become delinquent on Thursday next, November 21. A Tie Game. The game of football between the Uni- ver: e«i Academy and the Trinity College, played at the West End grounds this after- noon, came out a tie. A Social Postponed. The Temperance Temple tea and social, to be given by the W.C.T. U., has been postponed until Thursday afternoon and evening, November 21. Arrested for Shooting. On complaint of R. Grabbe, Officer Con- rad to-day arrested H. Kenyon for shooting within the city limits. COWICTS TO MRS, BT Letter From San Quentin to the Fair Salvation Army LeMer. What Led to the Little Commandress’ Dramatic Address at the State Prison. That was a dramatic scene within the walls of old San Quentin when Mrs. Ballington Booth, the pretty little com- mandress of the Salvation Army forces of this country, addressed the scarred vet- erans of sin as “comrades.” Nothing had so affected the soldiers behind the bars for many years. It brought back visions of a mother, or sister, or wife—some good woman that was the deity of her sex to them. The New York War Cry of yesterday ubiishes this letter that led” to Mrs. ooth making the address so memorable to the inmates of the Siate prison: SAN QUESTIN, October, 1895. To Mrs. M. B. Booth, Commandress of the Salva- tion Army—OUR DEAR COMANDRESS: AS & mes- senger of God, an untiring worker for the glory of God through the Salvation Army, and one whose articles in the War Cry (especially in the Men’s Column) have been & great source of instruction and counsel to us, your name has for some time been familiar to us, and has been to us the personification of an angel of mercy, and your words an encouragement in times of trials and troubles. But since read- ing the extracts from your diary in the War Cry, where you gave us a glance of your pri- vate life, and unintentionally revealed to us your character in the most lovable form—an affectionate wife and mother—you have made yourself more dear to us than ever, when we remember our own loving mothers and our own childhood days, so we eagerly look in each War Cry if there is anything from your pen, and we shall all follow with the greatest interest the reports of your tour through this division, and our intérest will extend inci- dentally to your sleeping partner and A. D.C., Staft Captain Edith Marshall, We (the members of the State Prison Co:!)s) herewith extend to you and your A. D. C. a sin- cere and hearty welcome on "your safe arrival at the Pacific’ Coast. We would only be too hlppf' to greet you personally, but God, in his all-wise and far-seeing providence, has deemed it best for us to be confined behind prison bars. At the same time, he gives us power and strength to serve, honor and obey him. We are struggling amid his greatest enemiesand have many a struggle and trial with them, but we have come out successful. We have been sworn into the ranks of the army a little over & year now, and have no cause to regret our enlistment under the Blood-and-Fire Banner. We have had God and vlc!or{gon our side, thanks be to his sustaining and keeping power, and, although some of us may have to give up the hope of ever gaining our liberty again, nevertheless, we are_happy and {gylu in the Lord; for it the Lord the Mighty is for us, who will be against us? They may keep this, our body, incarcerated, but we reckon that the sut- fering is not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. We would be more than thankful to be granted the opportunity of listening to_ the words of encouragement from your own lips, but that is not to be thought of, and more than we dare ask. We will earnestly pray that God will give.you the power and strength to doa great deal of good on this coast, and that many will point to your visit as the means of show- ing them the frue and right way of serving the Master, and that on that great judgment day ou_will see many on the right hand of the iord and you will hear the voice: “Well done, thou good and faithful servant; see the many you have gathered around thy Master’s throne.” We should also be delighted to hear the ten- thousandth auxiliary answer to the rollcall of the staff captain before your return home. ‘We can report progress here, some souls com- ing out to serve tne Master, and somebeing under deep conviction.

The Grand Jury to Make an In- vestigation of the Serious Charge. HOW THE MONEY WAS PAID. Sworn Statements of the Dairyman Will Be Compared With His Oral Version. The much-talked-of Sanders-Tobin-Rood bribery case is to be thoroughly ventilated by the Grand Jury. This is the story as published in THE CALL of an alleged at- tempt to bribe Milk Inspector Dockery. The positive refusal of Dairyman Sanders to take any personal action in the matter has aroused no end of unfavorable comment. Sanders has claimed tbat he could not afford to prosecute Tobin, for fear that gentleman would retaliate in a civil action. The case is to be investigated by the Grand Jury and the evidence that will be considered by that body is now in posses- sion of the secretary. Itremains for the Grand Jury to determine as far as con- cerns Mr. Dockery in the matter of at- tempted bribery, the individual and col- lective liability of Sanders, Tobin and Rood. The sworn statement of Sanders, which is to be considered by the Grand Jury in connection with his verbal state- ment to them, is in part as follows: On October 19 a sample of milk was taken from my wagon by Milk Inspector Dockery, at the St. Nicholas Hotel, and a part of the sample was sealed and sent back with the driver to me. A few days later I called at the City Hall to see from the Board of Health how my milk tested. 1 infiulred at the office if they knew, and they told me that they did not know, but that they would have to see Mr. Dockery and I went out into the hallway to find Mr. Dockery, but did not see him. While in the hall Mr. Rood came up to me and said, “I see Mr. Dockery has got at one of your wagons.” 1 said “Yes, but I do not know how the milk tested. -+ * ¥ He then said, “I will take you to s man who is a great friend of Mr. Dockery, and who can fix this matter for you.”” He then toockmetosa party who has an office near the City Hall, whom I recognized as Mr. Tobin, & law- or. * % % Itold Mr. Tobin that a sample of milk had been taken by Mr. Dockery, and was afraid that I might not get justice in the matter and get published in the papers, all of which would hurt_my business. Mr, Tobin then said that Mr. Dockery weas a friend of his and that for $20 he could fix the matter satisfactorily so that it would not get in the papers, and fur- ther that he would attend to it right away. 1 then left his ofice, but did not pay him any money at that time. A few days later my son told me that he had been at my office while I was away and wanted the money. A few days after that he called again while I was away and ieft a note saying that if Idid not call at his oflice that day and pay the money he would not guarantee to keer it out of the papers. Thinking that he really had this power over Mr. Dockery, as up to this time there had been no mention in the papers, and sooner than risg further trouble I went ug to his office and paid the $20 agreed upon. The next morning, Octo- ber 30, I was advertised in the Enper. and so thought this rather strange. I then called on Mr. Dockery for an explanation and found out that it was a scheme to extort money iromme. This interesting document, which is likely to cut quite a_figure in the forth- coming investigation, is duly sworn .and subscribed to before Adele L. Ballou, No- vember 8. Attached to it is the note from Tobin, requesting that Sanders call and pay the money agreed on, and also a re- ceipt for the same. The witnesses to be called in the case ar Inspector Dockery, Dr. E. J. Creely, J. Sanders, Attorney Tobin and- -H. A. Rood. Lively Gratitude Shown by a Dog. About five years ago there came to Cramp’s shipyard a stray terrier dog, who, by his friendly ways, soon made himself welcome about the watchman’s box at the main enwrance gate of Ball street and among the men working just inside the %alcs. Watchman Stafford named him harley and saw to his getting food. One day Charley had the misfortune to get one of his feet_crushed under a car on Beach street, and Policeman Gillen of the Elev- enth District, who does duty about there, bandaged the foot and cared for it until it got well. Ever since then Charley hails his benefactor with demonstrations of joy whenever he comes around, barking and rubbing up a$aimt him as a mark of friendship. When the Brooklyn was launched last week Policeman Gillen was in line with the men of his district in the yard and Charley went in search of him. When he found his friend he gave vent to his joy to such an extent as to draw atten- tion from the thousands of people stand- ing around.—Philadelphia Record. ———————————————— LATEST SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE, PSS USSP PSSR Sailed.
