Wettstein’s Damage Suit. —The suit of Company for would bayve caused no interestto court- room loungers were it not for the fact that Dr. Woolsey was one of the witnesses. Woolsey has been in charge of all the rail- road surgical work for years, but about a Yvear ago the company gave their work to Fabiola Hospital. In the Wettstein case Dr. Woolsey appears on the side of the prosecution, a role he has never before taken in damage suits in this county, always having appeared for the railroad company. His evidence is purely of a technical natare. The Reliance Benefit. OAKLAND, Cav., Jan. 23.—To-morrow evening the Charity Company will give 1ts initial periormance of **7-20-8" at the Mac- ionough Theater for the benefit of the Reliance Club.

No defense was at- tempted, and the prisoner was admitted 10 bail in $2500 bonds. Quiet at;San Leandro. OAKLAND, Cavn., Jan. 23.—The man- agers of the San Leandro Railroad nad an informal meeting this afiternoon and agreed on some plan to present to the ‘Irustees of that town to-morrow night. It is likely that the loop around SBan Leandro avenue will be the manner in which the difference will be adjusted. Everything was quiet at San Leandro this afternoon and the pile of rocks that caused esterday’s riot was the object of much curiosity. MHe Flagged the Train. OAKLAND.

Rodgers Cooper, Eugéne Johnson, A The Friends of the Mayor Analyze the Recent Document Which Was Not Official. OARLAND OFFIcE SAN FrANcISco CALL,) 908 Broadway, Jan. 23. | C. E. Gardner, chairman of the City Populist Committee, says that Mayor Davie was not read out of the party, as a | document signed by him and published two days ago in a San Francisco paper made it appear. According to Mr. Gard- ner the Mayor was not read out of the party and the paper signed by him and two others was merely a personal opinion, and was signed and written at the earnest solicitation of some one who was anxious to get up a little political controversy on his own account. “The whole of the communication was not printed,” =aid Mr. Gardner to-day, “or it would have had a different appear- | ance. We did not read Mayor Davie out of the party, because we have no power to do so. There was no meeting of the city central committee to either authorize or ratify that expression of opinion. It was signed by James Hovkirk, J. F. Paulk and myself. Although it may represent the opinion of the party it was not done with its sanction and was purely a personal matter. We should not have written it had we not been solicited and promised that whatever we wrote would be printed.”” Mayor Davie’s friends have x different | story to_tell of the ‘‘readingout” docu-! ment. The compliment paid to Chief of Police Lloyd is robbed somewhat of its value when it is known that Gardner is lerk of the Chief of Police. which posi- tion he holds solely by the grace of Mr. Lloyd mes Hopkirk, another of the signers who “‘read the Mayor out of the party,” is | the man whom Davie appointed as an ex- pert to examine the new Grant school- house in the Third Ward. Mr. Hopkirk went out and made a thorough examina- tion of the school and compared every de- tail with the specifications. He found some startling delinguencies, and his re- port created great excitement about three months ago. There was a special meeting of the Board of Education called and the Mayor advised immediate proceedings against the contractors.

As the latter building is three times the size of the Grant School the differences in the tim- bers and supports were all explained away. “These things are not bothering me at “1 do not have time to pay attention to them. Any insignificant little coterie of disgruntled politicians can write what they please, but it is only wasting their ink. Of course, it is a great pitty that these fecllows cannot all get soft jobs where their most arduous duty would be to draw their salary. Until such a happy state of affairs exists there will be grumbling. I think if I were Hopkirk I would not be very anxious to rush into print, though, for the next few years.” CHARITY ~ REGISTRATION, the Last Hope of Relief. DULL PROSPECT FOR WORKERS. Many Deputies to Be Sworn in Who Will Register Voters With- out Pay. OAKLAND OFFICE SAX FrANCISCO CA 908 Broadway, Jan. The new great register of Alameda County will be prepared in a great meas- ure on charity. The decree of the Supreme Court declaring the Election Commission act unconstitutional has removed the last hope that the Supervisors might be able to make an appropriation to pay deputy clerks for conducting the re-registration. Now, there is no possibility of heip from that quarter, and County Clerk Jordan will have to prepare the great register out of the regular appropriation of his office. As the annual cost of getting out a great register has been about $40,000, the ex- periment of it be:ng prepared without any special fund will be watched with great interest. At the present time Clerk Jordan is swearing in scores of deputy clerks all over the county, who will work without pay. They will mostly be keepers of stores of known good r ation, who are glad to attend to registration for the bene- fit that they may derive from running 2 registration offic Those deputies are been carefully gone over, so that as soon as the necessary redistricting has been city in Alameda Coun “0f course it is not very dignified for a rich county like this to appointa lot of deputies without pay,” raid Clerk Jordan to-day, ‘‘but there 1s no alternative. The whole appropriation for this oflice would not get out a great register without a resort to extraordinary means, and I have begun thie early so that ail my regular deputies can put in as much time as possi- ble. one, but I see no help for it.” The getting out of a great register has always been regarded as a harvest field for the regular political workers of the “in” party. It usually meant that 100 or so of ward-workers would be employed at $1 per day for one, two or three months, and | have notning more to do than sitin an { office and make about half a dozen regis- trations a day. When the prospect of ob- taining the periodical soft snap was offered scores of avplicants appeared, and when the sitnation was made known there was a loud how! from ‘‘de push.” Now the progress of the registration will be watched with much interest and there will be many thousands of dollars saved that has been usually spent on a small army of deputies.

Cathcart, Sheldon and Ross Will Uphold the Cardinal In thes Carnot Contest. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Car., Jan. 23.—The following facts may be interest- ing concerning the debaters who have been selected to represent Stanford in the regular annual debate against Berke- ley. A. M. Cathcart has long been connected here with debating societies, and made a mark in his sophomore year as a pow ful debater. He possesses a peculiarly in- dividual knack for driving his facts through all opposition. In taking up a subject he goes at it without gloves—know- ing he understands it himself Le simply forces it on the minds of listeners. His delivery is not particularly noticeable for elegance, but rather force. He leaves the facts, clearly stated, to answer for them- selves. H. D. Sheldon learned the rudiments of the debate before coming to the university. ‘While here, however, he has increased in skil! and in reputation as & good strong speaker. His utterance is rapid, for the points seem to come on his mind faster than hie can state them; yet he is not pre- cipitate. FHe leaves no bridges behind, but covers his retreat well. He is shrewd in selecting nis defenses and skillful in vrotecting himself from attack. He is vigorous, clear and vractical, thinks rap- idly and talks fluently. J. M. Ross is no novice in the college for He nhas taken part In all the society dcbates and differs from Stanford’s | other representatives in the fact that he is slower and possibly more calcula He goes at his subject deliberately and deter- nedly. Every step he takes is taken with cautic sence is much in his favor, his enunciation clear and dis- tinct. Mr. Ross has never yet taken part in an intercolleziate debate, but he is thoroughly welil fitted for the position of honor and will prove a source of strength to Stanford’s trio. ¢ DANIELTEETER'S NUGGET, After Sixteen Years It Was | .

THE UNIVERSITY OF C. FLAHERTY. CALIFORNIA DEBATERS. R. 8. WHEELER. NOT ORDERED T0 ENGLAND Newspaper Reports Concerning Ballington Booth Officially Denied. Soldiers Are Warned Not to Believe in Salvaticnist Stories That Are Not Authentic. OAxLAND OFFICE SAN FrANCISCO CALL, 908 Broadway, Jan. 23. } Brigadier J. J. Keppel, commander of the Pacific Coast division of the Salvation Army, says that there is no trath in the telegraphic reports that Commander and Mrs. Ballington Booth, who command the Salvation Army in the United States, have been recalled to London by General Booth because they were making the American work too American. So much publicity was given to the story ‘and so many editorial comments, avorable and unfavorable, were made upon it that an official denial has been published. Coming at & time when the air is so rife with war news and possible and -impossible international complica- tions, the publieation of the supposed withdrawal of the National leaders caused great interest, and was calculated to hurt the work of the Salvation Army at large. Commauder Ballington Booth is a natural- ized citizen of this country. The official denial is as follows: The eppearance of telegraphic dispatches in many of the coast papers on the morning of Jsnuary 15 stating that Commander and Mrs. Booth were under farewell orders caused much consternetion to officers and soldiers all through the division. We can forgive any pa- per which in its eager search for news seizes upon any statement that has ihe slightest ap- pearance of truth, and that sends it broadcast over the country; but when statements that we know to be felse sre made therein, and when such statements are of & character that directly reflect upon our beloved veteran gen- eral’s attitude toward America and Americans, and also upon the loyalty of our faithful com- manders, we cannot help but pelieve that the news must have been gathered from an un- ifriendly source. between the representatives of the Uni- versity of California and Stanford for the Carnot gold medal, to be held on February 7, gives promise of being a hotly contested one. A letter was received by Speaker | Dam of the Students’ Congress to-day from Benjamin F. Bledsoe, a Stanford | member of the intercollegiate committee, in which it was stated, with reference to the coming debate: -*We have girded up | our loins and are ready for the fray.” Stanford’s trio was chosen some time ago, while Berkeley’s men, consisting of M. C. Flaherty, '96, Theodore de Laguna, '96, and R. 8. Wheeler, ’96, with Charles A. Fryer as substitute, were selected at the - the remark, ‘“But suppose after all, Dan that it is not gold.” “No doubt of it,”’ said Teeter. “I’veex- hibited it for sixteen vears and its value has never been questioned.” “But it is possible that it may be a fraud,” said Feidler. “‘Suppose we go in here into Bemis’ and have it tested.’’ Teeter was more than willing, and into the jewelry-store went the little party. The jeweler examined the nugget suspi- ciously and placed itin a pair of scales, which required nearly every pennyweicht in the house to bring about the requireda balance.

The fact that a freshman has even secured the place of a substitute is considered gquite remarkable in college debating circles, as he is the first one who has ever even had the place of a second on any of the intercollegiate speaking contests. Fryer is the son of Dr. John Fryer, the newly elected professor of Orienfal lan- guages at the university, who is at present —_——————— Napoleon spent most of his time at St. Helena learning English, in Shanghai, China, in the Government employ. The young debater prepared for college at the Oakland high school and so confident was Teeter that his nugget was valuable that he asked innocently: “Well, how much is it worth?”’ ““Oh, about 3 or 4 cents,” said the jew- eler. Then there was silence for the space of two minutes, out of regard for the feel- ings of Teeter. o P T Mail-carriers in Morocco are said to avoid the risk of losing their places by oversleeping by tying a string to one foot and setting the end of it on fire before going to sleep.

BERKELEY, CaL, Jan. 23.—The foun- dation for the report of a challenge from the Yale track athletic team to the Berke- leyfchampions for a track and field contest Was a private letter received from Captain Sheldon of Yale by Arthur North last term expressing hope that if Berkeley sent another team East a contest could be ar- ranged. The letter has been the means of arousing much interest among the stu- dents, and_the prospect of a mateh with Yale will do much to add support to the project of sending another team across the Rockies. Plunkett Will Play Again. BERKELEY, Civ., Jan. 23.—There is the fact that Piunkett, the star guard of the}Varsity, has decided to enter the law department of the university, since by so doing he will be enabled to play football under the blue and gold for another sea- son.

He wasa very active man and was treasurer of the Managers’ Association of Life Insurance Companies of San Fran- cisco. For many years Mr. Archibald was ac- tive in the Methodist ministry and after- ward he made a lecture tour throughout the county spzaking chiefly on the effects of good and bad literature and kindred subjects. Having to abandon public speak- ng on account of throat trouble, Mr. Ar- chibald assumed the management of the Methodist Book Concern of Cincinnati, one oi the biggest publishing houses 1n the United States. He was also a writer and besides being the author of several books he contributed largely to magazines. His literary work was recognized by Eastern colleges asentitling him to several honors. The degrees of doctor of divinity, master of arts and doctor of laws were all bestowed upon bim. He was one of the founders and prime movers in the great Chautauaua of New York. Mr. Archibald was born at Troy, N. Y., on Christmas day, 1841. The body will be sent for interment to Fredonia, Chautau- qua County, N. Y. HENRY RODGERS' STORY. Professor Hayne Says the Ac- cused Students Were Per- fectly Sober. Practicc Work Commenced for the University Baseball Season. Burglars at Work. BERKELEY, Carn, Jan. 23.—Harry Rodgers, the academy student who was given a shaking up the other night by a party of university boys for an alleged in- sult offered to an unprotected young lady, seems to have placed himself in rather a peculiar predicament. One of the main points in Rodgers’ testimony against the accused students is that they were in an intoxicated condition. This they flatly deny. In support of their denial they have the statement of A. P. Hayne, an in- structor at the university, that the entire party was in a state of perfect sobriety. Roagers says that he can produce proof that be did not insult any lady or ladies, and that there were no grounds what- soever for the assault other than personal enmity. The three students on whom John Doe warrants were sworn out appeared before Judge James this morning to be identified by Rodgers, but as the accuser did not ap- pear the trial was set for Friday, Jan- uary 31, Upon the advice of their attorney, the arrested students refuse to make any state- ment, further than that Rodgers will be shown up 1n his true light at the trial. ¥irst Work on the Diamond.

BERKELEY, CaL., Jan. 23.—About $100 worth of carpenter’s tools belonging to W. C. Morser and T. O. Sprague, two Oakland craftsmen, were stolen last night from a house which is being built at the foot of Chapel street. A crowbar and pickax were also stolen from the house which Contractor Estee is putting up at the cor- ner of Chapel and Bancroft.

She claims that Mary Kelly, who lived with her some time, made a will, in ‘which she left her landlady $2000. This was left in the hands of Father John Nugent of St street fire of last June. The counter claim is made that the paper was not a will, but was in the nature of & promissory note for rent, etc. Of this sum $1000 had been pad, it was claimed, snd upon the question whether the document was a will or & promise to pay the case rested.
