OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Fraxcisco Cavr,) 908 Broaaway, Jan. The rehearing accorded to W. M. Me- Cloud, an ex-policeman, was concluded to- day. Perjury was committed somewhere as both sides flatly contradicied each other, and McCloud’s attorney, Aldrich, asked Mr. Schaffer a question that brought on a riot. McCloud has had some valuable wit- nesses, including ex-Mayor Pardee and Sheriff White. The row this afternoon was precipitated while Policeman Andrews was on the stand. Attorney Aldrich asked the wit- | ness if Mr. Babb had not seen Schaffer and Downey leaving a questionable resort, “drunk and in com- pany of disreputable women.” This angered Schaffer, and walking up to Al drich he s No man that casis such a slur on my family as that should go out of this room without eating his words. As to vour cowardiy referenc: to the memory of Mr. Downey, a respected man who was laid in his grave over a year ago, [ will n haffer then took hold of Aldrich’ Masonic emblem and continued: “Yo are a Mason, I see, and soam L Iam ashamed that one should so di b manhooq by such contemptible behavior, Aldrich s that be did not mean it in the way taken by § ffer. Then tbe case s taken under advisement. During the hearing Captain Fletcher said that McCloud's record as a policeman was bad, and that any one who behaved as McCloud did was best off the force. On being questioned further hs said that there was a division in the Police Department | and that, although there was always more or less friction, it is now pronounced more than ever. Captain Wilson also said that McCloud’s record as a policeman was not good. “atrolman Lamping, who was a witness for Schaffer at the investigation, has been suspended from th- force, and six charges were preferred against him to-day by Chief Llovd. It is alleged that he sat down while on his beat, that he does not pay his debis, that he tried to fi i Police Court, that he smokedj] A M., that he was a'sent from hLis beat with- out permission and that be is totally un- reliable. The charges will be heard Thurs- day morning. To add to the complications already ex- isting 1n the department Mayor Davie has threatenea to suspend Chief of Police Lloyd if he again refuses to let the city ex- pert see his books. A UNVERSITY BES ERVOIR, Two Dams Will Be Constructed | on the Stiles Property in the Foothills. Proposed Extension of the Oakland Electric Railway to North and West Berkeley. BERKELEY, Car., Jan, 9.—0f the seve- ral projects now under consid eration for the improvement of the University of Cali- | fornia reservation at Berkeley, that of building a reservoir seems to be the most extensive and the most fruitful of lasting good. The water supply of the university has been wholly inadequate for the past fif- teen or twenty years. On thisaccount it has been impossible to grow any grass or orna- mental trees on the eampus save in the botanical and agricultural gardens. Even these have suffered from the lack of suf- ficient moisture. Various methods have been resorted to in order that the supply might be increased, but without avail. The hills back of the chemistry building are literally perforated with tunnels and drifts made in the attempt to strike a flow of water, but to no purpo: veral thousand dollars was spent in cxecuting this wor During the presidency of Horace Davis a piece of property compri ing twenty-seven acres, situated on the eastern houndary of the university reser- vation, was purchased with a view to using a portion of it for a reservoir. Three Site of the Proposed New Reservoir of the University of California, Berkeley. acres more adjoining this tract were neces- sary, and for tnese the Board of Regents offered Mrs. Stiles $3000. She asked $15,- 000, and so the deal was not made at that time. Subsequently the board entered suit condemning the property. This has recently been decided in favor of the Re- gents, and the appraisers set the price of the jana_ at $3000, which sum has been paid to Mrs. Stiles. This gives the uni- versity undisputed possession of a great natural watershed, which pours down its waters into Strawberry Creek. In winter, after a heavy shower, the water rushes down in torrents, but in midsummer the creek is dry in piaces for a portion of the season. The property purchased embraces in its area springs which have almost a per- petual flow, and alsc a natural reservoi 3 about 1000 feet in breadth and a mile or more in length. Itisthe purpose of the board, as soon as the money is available, to build two dams —one at the reservoir it- self, for backing up tne water, and the other half or three-quarters of a mile ap the canyon, to catch the gravel, stones and silt which come down during high water. Both will be built of stone and cement. The lower dam will be located about 300 yards to the rear of the chemistry build- ing, and will bave its foundation 150 feet above the level of North Hall. It will be cg&mble of restraining the flow of neariy 100,000,600 gallons. The water will be aid that he had | v noth- | used maiunly for irrigation purposes. Pro- fessor Hilzard says that it will be possible to use som of it for Jaboratory and drink- ing purposes after having been filtered. The committee on buildings and grounds is preparing a report on the proposed reservoir for presentation to the whole board in session. Another Electric Road. BERKELEY, Cav., Jan. 9.—The most recent report put into circulation with re- gard to proposed new electric roads for Berkeley is that the Oakland Consolidated Company will extend its lines to North and West Berkeley during the coming spring, The route to North Berkeley, if a franchise can be secured for it, will be up Oxford street and down Milvia. The road to West Berkei y will in all probability be | along University avenue. Good Government Club. BERKELEY, CaL., Jan. 9.—The Good Government Club will hold its regular monthly meeting next Saturday evening at the residence of P. R. Boone, president of the Board of Education. Fonzo's Horse and Buggy. BERKELEY, Car., jan.9.—Several days agzo the horse and bugay belonging to, or supposed to belong to, Fred Fonzo, the ex- restaurant-keeper of Berkeley, were sold at public auction by Marshal Lloyd to satisfy a judgment of $52 50. Sanitary Inspector ¥rank Thompson bid in the rig for $55. In order to raise the money he sold his old horse and cart, which he considered worth $60, for $20. Yesterday Thompson | bad his new purchase out on exhibition | before a party of his friends, when a Dep- uty Marshal approached and with a writ | of replevin sworn out by Fonzo's wife, who claimed to be the owner, took the avay with him. Now the In- | spector is out two horses, one buggy, one | cart and $57 and does not know how he will get even again, ABLIND, BUT A WHEELMAK, | turnout | The Ride of Newel Perry, the Sightless Cycler, to and From San Jose. | Made the Entire Round Trip From Berkeley Without an Accident. An Extraordinary Feat. BERKELEY, AL, Jan. 9.— Newel Perry, the pienomenal blind student in the senior class at the university, has | added another chapter to his already sin- gularly brilliant career. Last Friday, in Newel Perry, the Blind Studeat Who i Rode to San Jose and Back on a | Bieyele. [From & photograph.] company with a friend—Gilvert S. Walker, U. C., '96—he rode to Sazn Jose on a bi- cycle. Perry is totally blind and has been | so for fourteen years, but he has neverthe- less managed to learn the art of bicycle riding so that he is able to find his w; unassisted along any street or road with ich he is acquainted and over which he has passed on foot. In taking his long run to San Jose last week Perry’s companion roae ahead. He carried a bell on his wheel and thus the blind biker was abie to keep in the road. The two wheelmen started from Berke- ley at noon on Friday, going by way of an Leandro and stopping for the night at Mount Eden. San Jose was reached on Saturday night, anda the return trip was made on Sunday asfar as San Mateo, from which place Pérry and Walker took the train to San Francisco. AL this season of the vear the roads, be- tween Oakland and San Jose especially, are decidedly rough and in places it is somewhat d.fficult for a person with the use of all his senses to make ordinary time, but Perry “‘pumped’” his machine all the way and escaped without a scratch. He met with several falls ana his tire became punctured once or twice, but the blind rider did not even so much as receivea single bruise. Perry very modast about mentioning his extraordinar wheelmanship and considers bicycle riding a very ordinary proceeding. In speaking of how he learned to ride he said: “I rented a wheel one day and went to Col- lege way, where I mounted and tried to ride, but, of course, I fell off. I tried again, and kept on trying until T was able to keep my seat, and I see no reason why any blind person should not do the same.” FUNERAL OFJ.

At an earlier period in its history it was regarded as a doubtful experiment by Some members of the medical proiession, but at this time, thanks to’the intelligent. training of our narmes I know of uo eulightened physician who does not gladiy avail bimself of their services. | The report called attention to the need | | of a nurses’ home and concluded by ex- pressing a hopeful view of the coming | year. The recording secretary, Mrs, L. L. Dun- bar, read an exhaustive review of the past | year’s events, part of which was as fol- | lows: Five hundred and fif cared for during the y: | dred and twenty-fivé were children, one hun- dred and torty-eight of whom were absoluetly free cases. Of the women, thirty-two were iree eases. Upon our adult department we di in 8 large mensure for support for our chil- | dren’s department. The necessity for a new operating-room for adults forces itself upon us, and active meens must be taken in | | regard to it witbout further delay. | | The kindergarten, in its bright sunny cor- | mer, is still one of the attractions of the hospi- | .

The memorial bed committee has o | systematized their work that the bedsare in | admirable order. | At the dispensary a great amount of good | has been done, but financially it has run be- hind. The average number of patients there each month was 267. The class of patients ar the very poor of our City, and the sum of 25 cents eharged for drugs was more than many of them could afford; in these cases no charge was made. All credit is due our dispeusary staff and-nurses, for they have gone cheerfully whenever called. The report expressed thanks to givers of donations to the hospital and to promoters of entertainments, and it stated that, thanks to the giit of $500 from W. F. W ittier, to be applied to t e payment of | the mortgaze on the hospital, efforts had | been made to raise more money, and now $5U83, or nearly one-half the amount of the mortgage, had been raised. When the Wilmerding bequest was paid | it was decided to pay off the balance of tie mortgage. This was done, and the hospi- | tal is now free from any mortgage. The medical report, submitted by the resident physician, Dr. Fannie C. Hutch- | ins, showed that twenty-one cases had been | received from other institutions, and that | P sented by the year’s of the treasurer, Mr< patients. The report | F. H.
