BARMONY I THE FORCE Police Ofticers Are Warned Against the Dangers of Gossiping. Th The Record for Raiding All Kinds of Gambling Dens Broken by Chief Lloyd. OaxrAND OFricE 8AN Fraxcrsco CALy,) 908 Broadway, Jan. 10. § The instructions given to the Police De- partment yesterday and the closing of the rehearing of the charges against Officer McCloud have had a marked effect on the further trouble. For more than three months outside influences have been at | work and every attempt possible has been made to drag politics into the depart- ment and the department into politi - | This was made very manifest during the | rehearing of McCloua, and to a smail ex- ent it has served to create a feeling of un- rest among certain officers of the force. Chief Lloyd was asked to-night if his in- structions to the officers were of sucha | nature as to lead them fo suppose that | several of them were in danger. “Nothing of the kind was mentioned,” said the Chief, “and any such report is false. Now that the rebearing of McCloud has been concluded, there is perfect har- mony among the force, both the patrolmen and their superior officers. A great deal has been reported -about this department that is not true and not just t6 those con- cerned. It has all come from the outside, 1 am convinced both Captains Wilson and Fletc. er are thoroughly reliable and I have confidence in the individual mem- bers. While I cannot tell you what I said to the men confidentially, I did tell them very definitely that all gossip in the de- partment must cease, I i man not to discuss the merits or demerits of his brother officers and told them that no one need have the least fearif hesim- ply dia his duty. A great deal of tue opposition to the department has come from the element who have no regard for the law. The record for the past three months shows that more raids have been made on all sorts of gambling and lottery dens than ever before in the history of tue department. - “It has not been restricted to Chinese by any means. We have brought in dozens of colored and white folks, and those that have not confessed their crime by forfeit- ing their bail have almost invariably been convicted. “L am convinced that every officer is anxious to maintain the dignity of the de~ partment, although I am meeting with opposition in quarters from which I should expect help. I believe the force is more efficient m-&uy than it has been for years.'" Captain Fletcher's testimony at the re- hearing was not correctly reported yester- day and it placed him in & false light. I said there was a division in the depart- | ment,” said Captain Fletcher, “‘but I said it was not against the Chief. o long as Chief Lloyd has beeu in office I have never once heard a word against him from any one. The division could be better de- scribed by the man who asked me than by me, I have beenon thisforce many years, and 1t was never more active than it is to-day.” ————— Tire in a Coffee Concern. A small fire occurred early last evening in the three-story brick building at 139 Natoma street. It broke outin the joists of the floor between the shoe factory of Herman L. Lesser & Co.and the coffee-roasting establishment of A.P. Adams & Co., doing a little damage by smoke to the coffee in the latter concern, but nothing to speak of in Lesser & Co.'s. Alto- gether the damage did not amount to over $100 owing 1o the promptitude of the Fire De- partment and the fire patrol. The alarm was turned in from box 261, corner of First and Mission streets. s e IR “Trundling the Trolley The warm weather of the past few days has served to keep the bosats at the water chutes on Haight street busy afternoon.and evening, and until half-past 10 every night the bril- liantly illum nated grounds are well patron- ized. “To-morrow afternoon two wonderfully strong men—Holtum, called the ‘‘cannon king,” and Augustine Martinez, a phenom- enal lifter of heavy weights—will give an ex- hibition of strength.

Minor Smith secretary, E. PROFESSOR HILGARD” 0oBJ AGRICULTUR TO HAVING i GARDENS, ROADWAY THROUGH MADE. AL A continue to do so until Berkeley has reached that stage of advancement when cabs and carriages are common conven- iences. But back of all this is the idea that the making of a roadway from Cen- ter street to the football grounds means the spoliation of the garden which he has been seventeen years in developing. His corn patch was cut up once before, and to have a second break made in the progress of his experiments with cereals and garden truck is more than he is willing to submit to without first having entered a protest. And this protest he has registered with the committee on buildings and grounds. e most prominent and influ. ential citizens of Berkeley, especially thos living to the west of the university grounds, are highly indignant at the idea of not having the proposed driveway. Th that the orizinal plan for a 60- foot V-shaped entrance to a 45-foot road is just what was needed to make an imposing approach to the buildings. They claim it is the natural entrance to the campus, and that when the walks and drives are laid out on the gentle western slope in front of the buiidings, and the beds are green with grass and trees and flowers, the sight cannot be fully appre- ciated unless the approach is irom the western quarter of the grounds. Thev say, further, that the digging up and trans-| planting of a few agricultural specimens | ought not to stand in the way of a perma- nent improvement to the grounds and a source of lasting accommedation. The Special Election. ‘ BERKELEY, CaL., Jan. 10.—The ord- | inance calling the special elections for school and wharf bonds was finally vassed upon at an adjourned meeting of the | Town Board last night. The passage of | this measure is the last step to be taken in | the matter by the Trustees, and the issues | are now before the people of Berkeley. i Should the measures carry an ordinance | will be at once passed authorizing the is- suance of bonds. | Inquiries have have already been made by prospective purchasers of bonds. { President of the Board Richards stated i last night that he had every reason to be- | lieve that they will sell for a premium. ! The Ordinance Committee proposed sev- | eral minor changes in six of the town ord- | inances, and suggested the reprinting of them in book form. Progressive Club Movements. BERKELEY, CaL., Jan. 10.—The West | Berkeley Progressive Club unanimously | decided at its meeting last night to sup- port Trustees Durrell and Hoff in their en- | deavors to open up Sixth street. This | thoroughfare is one of the most populous | in West Berkeley, and the club believes | that an electric road will undoubtedly be | built aloug that street in connection w the San Pablo system as soon as a through passage way is made. The club elected | the following officers for the ensuing term: President, Charles Hadley; vice- . R. Dickieson; treasurer, C. Hoff; sergeant- at-arms, Fred Rawson. The Baseball Season. BERKELEY, Car., Jan. 10.—Immedi- ately aiter thie opening of the spring term at the University of California, which will be next Monday, plans will be outlined for the coming baseball season.

Leuschner of the department of astronomy and geodesy at the university will lecture in the library building of the Mechanics’ Institute of San Francisco to- morrow evening.

ALAMEDA, Car., Jan. 10.—The German Ladies’ Relief Society has published its annual report. This shows that the so- ciety had casb on hand at the beginning of the year to the amount of $42647. There was received during the year in fees and contributions $83383. The amount ex- pended in charity was §601 65, leaving a balance on hand of $650 65. Thereis a membership of 115 ladies, a; K.

One slapped the other in the face and was | arrested in consequence. The complain- ing witness afterward repented and wanted to withdraw the complaint. The two Justices of the Peace are anxious to get courtrooms near the City Hall, for when the Police Department is moved they will be too far from the base of operations in their present quarters. x of the eight chickens captured from the thief who jumped from the narrow- 1ze train on the trestle before davlight ursday morning have been claimed, e thief was never seen by the police after his jump and it may be that he fell through the trestle and was drowned, U'BHIEN WAS EXONERATED Judgment Rendered in His Favor | in the City’s Suit for Recovery. e Excessive Stamping of the Assessment Rolls Responsible for the Discrepancy. Thomas O’Brien, the Tax Collector, who was sued by the City for the amount of a $5200 shortage in his accounts, had a verdict rendered in his favor last evening. The case has been on trial before Judge Dougherty, who was sitting in place of Judge Daingerfield since Monday., The charge was that O'Brien’s books showed the receipt of over $3000 more than had been turned into the treasury by the tax office, and the City made O’Brien person- ally responsible for the amount. The shortaze was not discovered until some time after James Block, O’Brien’s suc- cessor, was installed in the office, and then as a number of the books of the Tax | Collector’s office had disappeared it be- came a matter of extreme difficulty to de- | termine w ere the money was. The claim of the City in the case was | that the Tax Collector could not impeach his own records; if he had made a mistake he must point out the mistake; otherwise, the books must be best evidence. It was this question as to which book was best evidence which caused considerable argu- ment between counsel. The evidence went to show that when a taxpayer appeared at the window the cashier called off the amount of his tax to a blotter clerk, who entered itup. The re- ceipt was then passed to another clerk, who tore off the tag and put it on a spindle, returning the receipt to the tax- oayer. Every night the cashier and the lotter clerk, with the aid of the tags, made up accounts, and then 0'Brien took the day’s cash receipts and turned them into the treasury. The tags were assorted every evening by a set of cashbook clerks, and “the amounts were entered in the cashbooks. These cashbooks were proved by the records of the blotter clerk and the tags, and from the cashbook the clerks went over the duplicate assessment rolls and stamped paid opposite tue names of those who had done so. These assessment-rolls showed receipts of $5200 more than the Treasurer's ac- counts, and it was upon that fact that the suit to recover the shortage was based. The City wanted to go by the assessment- rolls and the stamps. P.F. Dunne, coun- sel for O'Brien, maintained that the cash- book was the one to be used in the case, and after taking it under advisement for a night Judge Dougherty decided yesterday morning that the cashbook was the proper proof. The items in the cashbook were followed one by one, and everything was found ab- solutely correct. It was shown that the errors had been made by those who stamped the assessment-roll from the cashi- book, and that excessive stamping—mark- ing paid the names of several who Lad not paid—was responsible for the discrepancy.

A Bogus Evangelist Who Forgot to Return a Stereopticon Outfit. | HE CAME FROM ARIZONA. Mr. McMurtry of the Associated | Charities Would Like to Know ‘Where He Has Gone. QAKLAND OFFICE SAN FraNcisco CALL,) 908 Broaaway, Jan. 10. § A. J. McMurtry, a Christian Endeavor | leader of the Second Presbyterian Church, is very anxious to meet “Rev. Mr. Scott of Arizona.” Several others would also like to meet the ‘‘reverend.”” Nearly three months ago Mr. Scott ‘“‘borrrowed’”’ Mr. McMurtry’s stereopti- con outfit. For over two months he has been missing, and so has the lantern ap- paratus. tquiries have been made in the East and up and down the coast and Mr. McMurtry is now convinced that the clergyman from Arizona does not intend to return with his outfit, or else he must have met with foul play. The lantern- owner, however, says that the man from Arizona is not the kind that becomes the victim of foul play. “Scott came here some months ago,”’ said Mr. McMurtry to-day, *‘and told me | he was an evangelist at work ameng the | miners in Arizona, and that he was sup- ported by two Christian Endeavor societies in Massachusetts. He intended to givea few lectures, he said, and raise money with which to buy a lantern to illustrate them. He told Rev. H. H. Rice of his plan, and wanted to borrow that gentleman’s valu- able outfit. Mr. Rice declined, and recom- mended him to me, and I was induced to loan him my outfit. I was interested in his work, as he was a very plausible talker, and as a Christian brother [ thought [ was doing the right thing by him inlend- ing him my outfit. It was to be returned at once, but, when a few days passed and | it did not come home, I thought Scott was | probably lecturing through the country, and I tried to locate him. He had dis- | appeared completely, and I have not been | able to discover a trace of him since. “I have been making invesiigations, and Tam convinced now that Scott Las been doing this kind of work many years. I have learned that Scott has no claim to the title of ‘Rev.,’ as he has never been or- dained, and that he commenced his studies vears g0 at Oberlin College, but was convicted of stealinz books and expelied. Since then he nas appeared in different places, and wherever he has been people Lave been sorry that they made his acquaintance. | “‘Rev. H. Rice recently received a | letter from a minister in Los Angeles who | knows Scott’s record, and that leaves no | doubt as to what we might have expect:d | from him. But the advice came too late. He got the best of us Presbyterians in West Oakland, because we did not know him. | He lectured at Mills College witn my lan- | tern and was handsomely treated ihere. There are some boarding-house kee;ers who would like to see him and settle a few | accounts, cott obtained my lantern in a very | slick wa First, he just goi enough to | use the slides with in a general way. Then he came back for d:fferent attachments and tinally obtained the whole outiit. It was a lantern that [ used in the Eastin connection with the horticultural and viticultural departments with which I was connected, and was very valuabl “I have also found out that Scott got into the good graves of the Congregational | Ctiurch of Petaluma, and then when a bwlding fund had been raised it went the | way of my lantern. People should be put on their guard against such adventu The amount of harm they do to the mate work of Christianity is not easy to estimate.” | BOOKS SHOW A SURPLUS, ot Three Thousand Dol- lars. | | A Majority of the Directors Are Mem- bers of the Merchants’ Ex- change. OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Fraxcisco Cary,) | 908 Broadway, Jan. 10. | The directors of the Oakland Exposi- tion, which is now a permanent incorpor- tion, have decided to hold a large exhibi- | tion next fall even though at that time | the projected building may not have been | erected. In order to increase the floor space the | directors have obtaineq, a lease to the | j ground on which the annex stands and will build as many annexes as the exigen- | & cies may demand. | Now that the books of the exposition are about closed it is known that the affair was a marked success in a financial way. There will be a net profit of about $1800 | and an annex that cost $1200 and which is | paid for, suitable for renting purposes. | This really represents a profit of $3000 on | the two weeks, and as the affair was con- ceived and opened within twenty-nine days the directors feel that they are justi- fied in feeling confident of the future, The argument is maae that the Tab- ernacie was a jam of people every night | and that hundreds more would have at- tended had the place been lurger. Asthe most expensive part of the programmes | was the special protessional events and as | these would be no more expensive with twice the attendance the prospects are very roseate, “We are not in a hurry to get subscrip- tions to the corporation,” said Vice-Presi- dent Keith to-day. “We have the facili- ties for our next show and can take our | time apbout a permanent building. Of course, the manner in which the city is | growing adds each year to the demand for | the exposition and the necessity for a big showhouse. “Such a house cannot be designed and built in a hurry, It will cost about $100,- 000, and people who invest in it will want 10 be satisfied that they will get a fair re- turn on their money. The protits of the comparatively smatl and very limited show we bave just had. will pay a divi- dend of 3 per cent on $100,000. f’do not say this to boonl the stock, becavse we have no reason for doing so. We do not want a building for a year anynow, and we are negotiating for asite. We expect to have many sites offered, because the instant the institute is erected, the sur- rounding property will increase in value. Many lots have been suggested, but we feel that location isa bifi element of suc- cess in such matters, and we are doing a 1ot of thinking. “An attempt las been made to show that the exposition has been claimed asa venture of the Board of Trade as against the Merchants’ Exchange. This report needs no more attention than a ref- | commitred ence to the fact that six members of the eleven who constitute the exposition di- Tectorate are members of the Merchants’ Exchange.” EBELL SENDS THANKS.

My duties as chairman of the Ebell Society’s . as well as of the committee on €n- tertainments and programmes for the expo- sition, were so numerous and varied that I should certainly not have been able to do them justice without'the timely and tireless assist- Mr. Tacy, and I cannot say too much in expressing my gratitude for such assistance. To what u large degree your association thus contributed 1o the success of the expo: has been fully appreciated by our executive committee as well as myself. Talso have to thank such generous action in regard to my suggestion concerning the giving away of a souvenir book- mark to such as signed a pledee giving the preference to home products. The badges pre- sented by yoursclves were indecd a handsome souvenir, and, having been so generally appre- ciated, will no doubt continue to remind their holders of the pledge they represent. In conclusion, I assure you of my most earnest and heartfelt interest in every detail of the most excellent work your assoclation is carrying on so successfully, and beg ¢o be in- structed of the very first opportunity where I may be of mssistance in a cause, the vital im- portance of which cannot be sufficiently ap- preciated.
