PRESCOTT DECLINES | The Secretary of the Childrens’ So- | | ciety Opposed to Agi- | | tation. | OAxRLAND OFFICE SAN FR co CAvrL,) | ‘ 908 Broadway, Dec. 12, William Clark, the old man charged | | with assaulting young girls, was released | |on bail this afternoon, and when he walked out of jail several woman ac- | quaintances were there to express indigna- | tion at his arrest. The Woman's Christian Temperance Union is arranging for a mass-meeting for women only at the First Methodist Church | Sunday, at 3 p. M. Among those who are expected to address the meeting are Mrs. | Rose M. French, Mrs. Dorcas Spencer of | San Francisco and Mrs. S. C. Sanford. | Mrs. Lydia E. Prescott, the secretary of | | the California Society for the Protection | of Children, was asked to be present and speak, but she has declined. Mrs. l’res~‘ cott is not at all inclined to the belief that indignation meetings are productive of | good. *“1am afraid my views wouldn’t please many of the ladies who are getting up | Sunday’s meeting,” said Mrs. Prescott to- night. am of the opinion that this | agitation business does more harm than | good. In many instances the ruin of young girls is due to the indifference of | their mothers. 1 think if many mothers who spend most of their time running around to meetings and doing everything possible to obtain publicity were to attend a little more to their home duties and look after the giris more there would be less need of indignation meetings. I know | this view of the case is not the popular | one, but it is the result of my experience. | ““In the case of Clark the police tell me | that the evidence is very positive and they | have a good case, but I think justiceis | more likely to be meted out in the courts | than from the platform. For these rea- sons I shall refrain from appearing at the | | meeting next Sunday.” LGHTHG N ALAMEDA LIGHT Its Economy Questioned by a| Gas and Electrical | | Company. l i 1 EA Hose Company Fined $10 for thi Turning Out to a | Fire. h ALAMEDA, CaL, Dec. 17.—The Oak- | land Gas Light and Heat Company has ad- | dressed alengthy letter to the Board of City Trustees reviewing the subject of street and incandescent lighting in which the city is now engaged and which it is s | proposed to much further extend and ex- | | pand, So far municipal lighting has not been an unqualified success from an eco- nomical point of view, it having cost a great deal more than private lighting in adjacent cities under similar conditions. There are many in Alameda who in times past have sapproved of the great loss that the city is under for its lights. Now that there is talk of expending further {iarge sums by the city in the expansion of | this department, the gas company sug- | gests that instead 1he city call for propo- | p to furnish current at so much per thousand watts, the city to shut down its generating plant but operate the lamps | from the electricity furnished by otherand private works. There are two such pro- | posals sugeested, the second one to be for current for arc lights exclusively, the in- | candescent plant to be sold to the highest bidder. The point is made, as showing | the depreciation in electrical apparatus, | that machinery that eight vears ago cost :}he;itv approximately ,000 was sold or 375, A Company Fined. ALAMEDA, Car., Dec. 12.—Since the | | Chief of the Alameda Fire Department has | depended on the appointment of the | Municipal Board for his tenure instead of the suffrage of members of the volunteer | department the discipline has been much | more strict. A fire occurred on Chestnut | street last Saturday,and Whidden Hose Company of the West End omitted to turn toit. The fact was noted by the Chief | and reported to the Municipal Board on Wednesday last, when the board imposed a fine of $10 on the derelict company. The | | department is part paid and part volun- teer, and the mixture is not a very good one. It has never worked very well. Two Notable Improvements. ALAMEDA, Cavn., Dec. 12.—Work on | the foundation for a $20,000 residence for | Joseph A. Leonard has been commenced | on the bank overlooking the bay of San Francisco at the foot of Union street, east side. The site is one of the mostcom- | manding in the city and the neighborhood is one of the finest as to its clas i provements to be found on th bay. Directly opposite this ment another has been started in an $3000 dwelling for Colonel N. T. James of the | Governor's staff and but recently made | chairman of the board of directors of the Home for the Adult Blind. Company !D Reorganized. 'he members of the late Company D, N. G.

General attention is attracted to Web- | ster-street roadway because of its bad con- dition. Webster - street roadway is the | main thoroughfare between Alameda and | Oakland. | H. P.

It being semi-annual inspection day®he battalion was formed by Lieuten- ant Winn in the rear of the two matn buildings and marched in a body to the front steps of North Hall, where President Kellogg, Regent Reinstein, Dr. Le Conte and other members of the faculty had gath- ered. Several addresses were made, the principal one being that of Regent Rein- | stein, in which he asked the male students | of the university to] :ive three or four days’ | manual labor at some future date toward | beautifying the campus. | President Kellogg, with preliminary re- marks touching on the desire of the new regent to become acquainted with the | faculty and students, introdficed Mr. Rein- stein, who in turn presented Dr. Joseph Le Conte to the assembled body of cadets. Mr. Reinstein addressed the body. He | said: It was my idea in asking foran | the best interests both of students and re- gents that a closer relationship shoutd ex- | ist between them. I take this opportunity | of thanking you all for the compliments pointed a regent of the university. “When Governor Budd summoned me | to Sacramento before my appointment he asked what I intended doing for the uni- versity. My first words in response were that I should try to create among the re- gents, faculty and graduates a closer rela- tionship with the students. He replied that the idea could not be too strongly em- | phasized. Aécordingly I have attempted | to bring this ideal condition of affairs about. “With the able nsi(stance of Mr. Mec- Laren,. superintendent of Golden Gate We have not the means, however, to do the msanual labor, and I would like to suggest to you as a mark of your appreciation of the advantages af- forded Eere for,an education and your de- sire to see a physical improvement on these grounds that each of you give three or four days of manual labor at some date to be yet named.

Mabel Holmes Says It Was Given Out for That of a Murdered ¥riend. 0axLAND OFFICE SAN Fr S 908 Broadway, Dec. 12. { | Mabel Holmes, the young lady who tes- | tified last night at the Muhlner trial, made a peculiar statement today. She said | that by a mistake the picture that was | supplied to the Chief of Police when Jen- ! nie Lewis was murdered was not that of the dead girl, but was the photograph of Miss Jennie Lewis, the Murdered Girl, Whose Picture Has Only Just Been Found. May Hyde, who was an intimate friend of Jennie Lewis. The picture was extensively published as that of the murdered girl, to the great annoyance of Miss Hyde. “The picture that was said to be Jennie’s was not hers at ail,’ said Miss Hyde. *It was a very poor tintype of myself. I am not unlike Jennie, but there is enough difference between us to recognize one from the other. I have ex- perienced a great deal of unpleasant notoriety on account of this mistake, but it is easily accounted for, as Jennie and I were firm friends and had each other’s pictures.” ; This morning Miss Mabel Holmes was again on the stand, and Attorney Nagle made another attempt to introduce the letter she wrote to Jennie Lewis, but it was not allowed. Anna Mahoney, W. J. O'Neil, Miss Lewis, a sister of the murdered girl, A. French, B. Chestnut, E. McPhail and Little testified regarding facts and inci- dents that led up to the murder. e ————— The Journal of Speculative Philosophy ives a remarkable instance of a farmer in ndiana who could remember what he had done on every day for twenty years. He was repeatediy tested by reference to the notes made on previousexaminations, and never failed both to name the day of the week and to tell what occurred to him on that day. The Mayor and the Board of Health Have a Tilt Over the Matter. STRONG ASPERSIONS MADE. Sutro Intimates That the Board Is Influenced: by the Syring Valley Water Company. Mayor Sutro brought a regular hornets’ nest about his head yesterday by proposing to the Board of Health that the analysis of the water in the various reservoirs within the City limits be made by the students of the State University under the supervision of Professor Hilgard. He at- tended the meeting armed with a set of resolutions ordaining that the Board of Health proceed at once to collect samples of water required and forward them at once to the university for analysis. The Mayor, in explaining his project, said this was to be a chemical and bacteri- ological analysis. It was very simple and the students counld easily do the work. All the members were present and Dr. Hart rose with the first objection. He said he objected strongly to this important examination being conducted by students, “Why should we go across the bay at all?”’ asked Dr. Hart. *“‘We have com- petent men right here, of good standing morally and professionally, and we cannot say that the students are competent. Let us nominate some gentleman in this City to do the work.” “Well my resolution provides for all that,” insisted Mayor Sutro. ‘I should like to employ Professor Price; he’s an honorable, competent man, and I'll pay his charges out of my own pocket, But I say, let us have the students do this work and see what they are worth.”” *‘We don't want to know what the stu- dents are worth,” returned Dr. Hart. “Let us have the proper officials ap- pointed.” “What is it you want?” demanded the Mayor. ‘‘Under my resolutions you have the State Analyst and all the chemists you require. I say, let's have every chemist in the State included.” “Well, I want also to move that we in- clude the artesian wells in our investiga- tion,” said Dr. Hart. “Very well, gentlemen,” said the Mayor. Then he proceeded to read his resolution, proposing further to start at 9 o’clock this morning on a tour of investigation. Dr. Morse said he proposed to include the sources of supply. Let the board be- gin at the fountain-head and commence with Crystal Springs. *That’s not necessary,” said the Mayor. *‘The board thinks it is,” was Morse's calm reply. “Well, we'll do that afterward,” pro- posed Mayor Sutro. “No, we’ll do it first,”" returned Morse, ““and let’s start at 7 o’clock, instead of 9.” “All right,” cheerfully responded the Mayor. “We shall commence with the waters in the reservoir.” “‘Now, Mr. Mayor,” remonstrated Mr. Morse, “why not start at the head in place of the tail in this business?” “I’m Mayor of this City, and I'm going to be Mayor,” announced Mr. Sutro. | “There’s the Spring Valley Water Works on one hand and 300,000 souls of popula- tion on the other.” ““Well, I move to strike out the students from the investigation,”” said Dr. Morse. “Gentlemen, L beg of you not to do that,” pleaded the Mayor. “It will only place you in a false position.” ‘It won’t do anything of the sort,”” was Dr. Morse's answer. “‘But I’llamend your resolution so as to read that the students of the University may be permitted to make an analysis of a purely unofhcial character; and, further, that we appoint the State Analyst and Dr. William T. Wen- zel to make the official report.’” “Why not let the Spring Valley Com- pany nominate the analysts?” the Mayor cried. Then he declared that the Spring Valley Water Works had bribed every- thing and everybody in the State, includ- ing Supervisors, Legislature, and so forth, and had actually corrupted Congress. “You have no right to make wholesale charges of corruption,” chorused the board. “I'm an_ honest man,” yelled Mayor Sutro, ‘‘and I want a square deal.”’ There was a long and furious discussion, in which many compliments were ex- changed. Sutro fought hard, but he had a losing fight; the best that could be done was to pass a resolution ordering the in- vestigation to commence this morning, to include the fountain-heaas, with reservoirs, to exclude the universi ents and to nominate Dr. Wen fessor Hilgard and the State Analys committee to make the analysis and the report. *‘All right, gentlemen,” said the Mayor, as the meeting broke up. {ave vour own way. But I give you notice that I shall employ Professor Price to analyze these waters on my account. I pay his expenses myself.” THE PRISON TRUSTEES. They Pass Resolutions Eulogistic of Late Members of the Board. The board of trustees of the California Prison Commission yesterday elected *Charles Montgomery president, vice Ira P. Rankin, deceased. and Rev. John Kimball vice-president, vice Joseph G. Eastland, deceased. Resolutions eulogistic of the memory of both were adopted. President Montgomery gave an account of his visjt to San Quentin and Folsom. He only had praise for both 1nstitutions. The president and the secretary, Rev. Mr. Woodworth, were appointed a committee with power to name trustees on the board as vacancies occur. e S L S s Cut Government Timber. L. B.
