Thousands of Women and Children Weep Over the Two Pretty White Coffins. OaxLAND OFFIcE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,) 908 Broadway, March 11. § West Oakland has never before seen such an object lesson demonstrating the immediate need of adequate car guards as was witnessed this afternoon. In the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank E. Booth were two little white coffins, each reposing in a bed of flowers sent by sym- pathetic friends and neighbors. In either cotlin was one of the two only daughters of the Booths. The work of the cruel car- wheels was visible on the little, angelic faces, and as the immense throng passed through the parlors hardly a dry eye could be seen leaving the solemn svectacle. There were innumerable floral crosses, crowns, pillows, baskets and bouquets. A large piece representing the gates ajar was set above the others. Scores of little tots with whom the deceased children bad played brought their floral tributes of a lew roses or early pinks and laid them against the coffins, with tear-stained faces. | The house was filled with sy friends, while the yard and street were lined with those who could not gain an entrance. At the curb stood two white hearses, each with a team of white horses, and those whose bouquets could not be mpathetic taken into the house deposited them on | the hearses. As the little caskets were carried out of the home that had been so fearfully de- vastated, hundreds of the onlookers burst into tears. A short f i conducted by Rev. F. John’s Episcopal Church.

Said to Be Behind the Recently Organ- ized Alaskan Venture. OAKLAND, Car., March 11.—While all those in authority in the Alaskan expedi- tion that left last night still retain secrecy regarding their plans and movements it has been learned on what appears to be reliable authority -that the company is formed with a capital stock of $5,000,000, and it is asserted that of this amount two- thirds is paid up and half of the cash is in the Oakland and San Francisco banks. Among the men on the steamer are com- petent miners, blacksmiths, carpenters, laborers and executive staff. The steamer goes equipped with ten nt bydraulic nozzles and 10,000 feet of pipinz. Over tifty tons of provisions and blankets are on board. At Tacoma a quarter of a million feet of lumber wiil be taken on to be used in constructing sluices and the necessary | buildings. Forty borses form an impor! ant part of the cargo. These are safely encased in “'sea stails’’ on the upper deck. When the lumber is taken on, however, 1t sxpected the animals will have to be moved belo The cargo i stimated to be worth $75,- 000, ali of which has been purchased of Oakland and San Francisco firms. It is said the salary and expenses will run up to $7500 a month. The Colored Vote, OAKLAND, Car.,, March 11.—The Ala- meda County Afro-American League, after a spirited meeting last night, decided to recommend to the County Central Com- mittee the desirability of iolding a pri- mary election, believing this plan would more generally meet the approval of the people. There were vigorous speeches, and sentiments quite pronounced were given expression to concerning the atti- tude of some of the city and county officials in neglecting to give the race rep- resentation in their offices. It was de- cidea to hold a mass-meeting during the month of April and a committee con ing of Messrs. A. A. Collins, J. A. Wilds, J. B. Wils, . Moore, George In- James Summers and .James Washington was named by Chairman Holland to arrange for the gathering and prepare topics for discussion. Some time ago Mr. Wilds presented the league with a diagram map of the county and by it the location of every colored voter is known. From the report of the electivn committee appointed at the last meeting it is evident that some good work is being done. He Refuses Food.

Thompson of the Associated Law Students of Oakland real- izes that he has a fight on his hands. He | is also cognizant of the fact that he is ati mixing the leavings and scrapines of pipes with crude opium and cooking it over again. They were not operating largely, and probably doing a little business with a few of their countrymen who could only afford the poorest quality of the drug. The Deputy Collector put handcuffs on them ang brought them to the jail, when he found that he did not have the key, and the irons were perforce permitted to re- main on the prisoners all night. This morning they were sawed off. City Hall Chime. ALAMEDA, CaL., March 11.—An effort is being made to provide a chime of eight bells for the new City Hall tower. It is estimated taat the chimes will cost $1600. A good start toward that sum has been raised from donations, and it is expected the patriotic citizens will do something more 1 that line. Besides it is proposed to give entertainments and to add to the fund in any legitimate way possible. The chime will” be set to play the National hymn ‘‘America,” besides other airs. There is no other chime like the one pro- posed in any public building in California. Senator Stewart’s Taxes. ALAMEDA, CaL., March 11.—The pub- lished accounts of Senator Stewart’s de- linquency on his municipal taxesin the sum of $940 90 recalls that he has been a bolaer of very valuable property in this sion of Women- Thomas J. Thomas, President of the Associated Law Students, Who Says Miss Eubanks Has Libeled Him, and Archiec McDonald, Who Opposed the Admis- [Drawn from a photograph.] once shorn of nearly all his power of de-[ fense because his antagonist is a woman. He entered a general denial to-day to all | the allegations of Miss Eubanks’ com- | plaint. He starts out by denying all that part of the complaint that comes under the i “‘knowledge and belief”’ clause, and then beginsin earnest. He says: “I will agree that Miss Eubanks is ‘a coming woman’ and has always been a faithful student, and so long as she says so I will agree that ‘early in life’ she con- | cluded that the study of law was her forte. | I will also admit, since she says so, ‘that she made herself conversant with Cooley’s | Blackstone and the more complicated branches of jurisprudence.” I deny that our organization is a ‘boys’ brigade,’ or | that Miss Eubanks applied for admission that she might ‘profit ?xy the mistakes of the students.’ “The_ facts of the case are these: A | clause in our constitution provides thata | person to be eligible to membership in our association must be a male citizen of good | moral character between 17 and 25 years of age,”’ said he. ‘Ed Gehring proposed the name of Miss | Susie Eubanks for membership. It was laid on the tablefora week. Upon coming | up fordiscussion last Monday night Archie McDonald argued that Miss Eubanks was not eligible, as our constitution stated that any person wishing to become a member of our association must be a male, and re- ferred to the clause in the constitution. *‘After a long discussion a ruling by the chair was called for and the chair sus- | tained McDonald’s ‘point of order.” An | appeal was immediately taken. The mem- | bers then voted to sustain McDonald and | the president. Yersonally I was in favor of admitting Miss Eubanks, and had Mr. Gehring, in proposing her name, gone aboat it properly—that is, by offering an amendment to the constitution admitting ladies—I would have worked for its pas- sage. After seeing that there was no way | in which to make her a member Mr. Gehring withdrew her name. “It is very possible that the amendment to the constitution may vet pass and then ladies will be admitted. I want to have | their refining influence shed on our delib- erations.” Miss Frankie Lane, who was refused | admittance to the Alameda County Law | Association a few months ago, is support- ing Miss Eubanks in her fightagainst mas- culine tyranny. “Why, I thought they formed this new | organization in order to admit women,”’ she said to-day. *“The trouble all lies in the fact that the miale students are afraid of what the newspapers will say in regard to the matter. That was what made the other association refuse to admit me. The boys read some sensational article in a | newspaper, and were so weak-minded as | to allow it to sway their opinions. | “A woman has the right to join any | incorporated association for the purpese of | gaining legal knowledpe, and it 1s & shame when she is refused admittance. -All that I can say of the Associzted Law Students | is that as American gentlemen they have acted 1n a small-minded way in refusing | to admit ladies in their organization.” ILLICT OPUM FACTORY, meda for Cooking the Drug. Senator Stewart’s Alameda Real Es- tate—Failure to Provide for a Child. ALAMEDA, Car., March 11.—Charlie 1 Louie and Wong Ching, two Chinese clam- | o ng iutoxicated while on duty, was dis missed. —————— Private companies in Japan have sub- mitted to the Government plans for over 2000 miles of new railroads. | diggers, were arrested last night at mid- night by a Deputy Collector of Revenue, charged with maintaining an illicit opium- cooking factory. The two Chinamen were prepnr;*g an inferior quality of opium by city, and still retainsa v generous slice of it. He purchased in 1857 all the exten- sive holdings of Horace W. Carpentier. It was in several parcels, and embraced nearly 100 acres, and some of it wasthe choicest property in Alameda, located along Central and contiguous avenues. He held a number of auction sales and realized good prices, but of late his prop- erty has not been pushed on the market. Aliof it is good, however. He still owns a fourth of the original purchase. The original purchase price was $160,000. The Senator has not been in Alameda to look atter his interests for five years. Failure to Provide. ALAMEDA, Cap, March 11.—C. C. Brock was to-day arrested on a warrant issued out of the San Francisco Police Court on a charge of failure to provide for his minor child. He was immediately re- leased on bonds. He is the second son of | the late Christian Brock, in his life a well- known ship-owner of San Francisco. C.C. Brock’s wife secured a divorce from him three months ago. With the divorce she also secured tone custody of their minor child and $60 a month for the child’s sup- port. This has never beeu paid and is the cause of the arrest. Brock was absent in Alaska while the divorce was being ob- | tained, arriving_ home about the time it was granted. He is getting ready to go back again, being connected with a sal- mon-canning industry. The Glorious Fourth. ALAMEDA, Car., March 11.—There is said to be a moveihent to get up a county celebration of the Fourth of July and hold itin Alameda. atiractions for such a celebration. Its streets are unsurpassed for parades. Its sidewalks are shady from bordering trees. There is a fine large room in the City Hall in which to have the speaking, provided ‘it was not desired to have it in the public park. Alameda some years ago celebrated every anniversary of the Fourth with great earnestness and success, WO00D IS UPHELD. Attorney Garrity Will Have to Pay His Fine or Go to Jail. OARLAND OFFICE SAN FRrANCISCO CALL, ] 908 Broadway, March 11. | The Supreme Court has decided that Ah Quay was wrong when he claimed that Judge Wood had no authority to send nim to jail. The decisicn is the result of habeas corpus brought by Attorney Chap- man on behalf of Ah Quay and Attorney Tom Garrity. Theargument made was that the Oakland Police Court was created under the Whit- ney act, and that this act was unconstitu- tional; therefore Judge Wood had no right to order any one to jail. In the case of Attorney Garrity the Judge had fined him $25 or one day’s 1mprisonment for contempt of court. The case was appealed, but it was not pressed till the cuase of the Chinaman was decided. This morning Attorney Chapman ap- ced peared ir the Police Court and anno that he was ready to pay Ah Qua He wanted his two weeks’ sojourn in jail while he was waiting for the Supreme Court’s decision to count as part of the fine, but this was not allowed, so the fuil fine of $100 was paid. When Garrity’s case is taken up he will either have to pay bis fine or spend one day in prison. M. €. Chapman, the attorney for the a; plicant, in speaxing of the case, said: *I have expected they wouid deny the writ. Thad a talk with the Chief Justice in chambers and we argued the matter at length. There are no legal grounds for de- nying it, yet I believe they feared the con- sequences had they granted it. It would have overturned so many statutes and rev- olutionized so much legislatian that they :‘houghb it better to rule as they have one.” ————— The Yellow River is styled the “Sorrow of China.” During the last century it has chauged its course iwenty-two times, and now tlows into the sea through a mouth 300 miles distant from that of a hundred vears ago. It is estimated that its floods in the present century have cost something like 11,000,000 of lives.

THEIR CHALLENGE ACCEPTED After the First Match a Trophy Will Be Shot For at Regular Intervals. OARLAND OrFIcE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,} 908 Broadway, March 11. The 8an Francisco Police Department, by Captain Wittman, has accepted the challenge of the Oakland department to shoot off a match at Sheil Mound Park on the 28th of this morth. For a long time there hasbeen a monthly medal contest between the members of the Oakland force, and the decoration has freely changed hands. The men thivk they are, on the whole, second to none on the coast, and many tales of prowess are told in the little waiting-room where the officers report on and off. There is as much interest taken in the monthly shoot as in the arrest of gold-brick men and boy burglars, and the efficiency of the police as regards marksmanship is undoubtedly good. Consequently the match with the San Francisco force is being looked for- ward to with great interest, and bets are being freely made, but always with Oak- land on the long end, as local confidence is very great. The little neatly sewn leather medal, let- tered in gold, which is the only induce- ment so far offered for excellency, is at oresent held by Officer Jacobus. It has been neld by over a dozen men in turn, and many matches have been made over it in- dependent of the regular monthly shoot. There is also another medal that no one will wear. ~ It was manufactured by Jailor Swain and is made of wood, and is about a foot in diameter. ‘There is some doubt as to who it should decorate, but there is never any demand for it, and it is said that it is now the property of Officer Mackey, but he denies it. This medal is the legitimate property of the man whose bullets strike nearest the fence surround- ing the bullsey 7 Captain Fletcher has not yet named his team, but it will be taken from the ‘o.low- ing, all of whom have at one time or another worn the gilt-lettered medal: Officers Arnert, Andrews, Banks, Jacobus, Kingsbury, McCartby, Shaul, Shroeder, Scaulan, Sill, Jailer Swain and Detective Williams. All of these men have fre- quently made fuil scores, and will be a bard team to beat. The San Francisco captain has about 200 men to select from, while Captain ‘letcher’s entire force does not exceed fifty men. The riflcs to be used are 44- caliber Winchesters. The local men are taking frequent trips to the Shell Mound ranges and practicing, and frequent references are made to the turkey and champagne that the deieated San Franciscans will have to pay for when the match is over. It is very Erobsb!e that after the first match has been decided a handsome trophy will be hung up to be shot for at stated periods. ‘DUKE OLDENBOURG SAFE. Berkeley’s Miséing Royal Stu- dent Has Turned Up Serenely. A Bonus for the Extension of the San Pablo Streetcar Line—Students to Labor. BERKELEY, Car., March 11.—Charles Louis Oldenbourg and his diamond nng | are safe, The prospective heir to a Ger- man dukedom, who was the cause of so much anxiety on the part of his fetlow- students at Berkeley yesterday, by his long continued and unaccounted for ab- sence, has been located. He has not been in Berkeley, however, so far as is known, since the announcement in THE CALL of his prospects of succeeding his uncle to the duchy of Oldenbourg and the ac- quirement of the vast landed estates which go with the royal title. Yesterday his fraternity brothers at the university were particuiarly anxious to learn of his where- abouts, for nothing had been hrard of him since last Saturday. To-day, however, he was seen on the Oakland voat bound for San Francisco, by several of his university associates. When asked where he had been, he replied that he had been away from Berkeley, havin pleasant time, When the report reached Berkeley that Oldenbourg had been seen a feeling of relief | came over those who had read of-his mys- terious disappearance and extended ab- sence. Though the theory of his having met with foul play as advanced by his fraternity brethren was not generally cred- ited, yet there were many who believed that on account of the heavy diamond ring which he wore and the reported large amount of money in his possession he had been waylaid by road agents or inveigled into some deadly trap by daring malefac- tors, who lie in wait for just such oppor- tunities. g The students who have been informed of his safety are anxious to know why he does not return to Berkeley and account for himself. L. O. Hilborn stated to-day that Olaenbourg intends leaving for Mexico on the steamer which sails the 18th inst., to join his father, who will go with him to Germany for the purvose of settling pre- hminary matters connected with his acquirement of the right of succession to the dukedom. This, however, was after Mr. Hilborn haa learned of his safety. Prior to that Mr. Hilborn had notified Chief of Police Lloyd of the unaccountable absence of his friend, and the Oakland police spent nearly half aday searching for him. The San Pablo Streetcars, BERKELEY, Carn, March 11.—The West Berkeley Progressive Club has se- cured pledges oi $1100 toward a fund of §3000 to be offered as a bonus for the exten- sion of theSan Pablo avenue streetcar line into West Berkeley. Charies A. Bailey will give $1000 of the sum offered. C. M. Spear, president of the club, has agreed to give $100. 5 Mr. Bailey, who is one of Berkeley’s largest property-owners, addressed the ciub at considerable length last night on the subject of improvements that are contem- plated as means ot aiding in the develop- ment of the town. In reference to the wharf for which the club has been agita- ting, Mr. Bailey stated that the expendi- ture of $80,000 on such an enterprise would be awaste of money and *ha; if a whurf would pay returns on capital required for its construction one would be built by private capital. ¢ 3 In the course of his address Mr. Bailey urged that the club endeavor to have San Pablo avenue improved over the whole distance to Qakland, thus giving West Berkeley a_direct and wide thoronghfore to that city. He also suggested that efforts be made to change the steam local service so thdt trains for West Berkeley would leave the East Berkeley line at 13 Golden Gate instead of at Shell Mound as now. The rejuvenation of the California and Nevada Railroad, the securing of a better water supply for West Berkeley and agitation to mnge Berkeley an important point on the line of the San Joaquin Valley Railroad were otber subjects dwelt upon by Mr. Bailey. & At the conclusion of his address Mr. Bailey was elected a_meinber of the club, and Messrs. Spear, Wilkes and Niehaus, with Mr. Bailey, were chosen to constitute a committee that 1s to investigate the various enterprises that were discussed. The club also appointed a committee, consisting.of Trustees Hoff C. Durrill and Mr. Bailey, to wait upon F. K. Shattuck and endeavor to_secure a renewal of his offer of a site at Dwight way for the Wil- merding School. Mr. Shattuck’s offer was made to the Regents of the university and was withdrawn, he having received no re- sponse from the Regents acknowledging his offer.

BERKELEY, Car, March 11. — The student labor brigade will resume its work on the university campus next Fri- day morning, with the hope of completing the improvements by Saturday at midday. Regent Reinstein and President Kellogg held a conference to-day, when it was de- cided to give the students another day and a half. The greatest part of the uncompleted work is that of excavating around North Hali. Tt will be the purpose of the student laborers to finish what further digging is found to be necessary in this region, and then to cover the hard clay through whick they have been cutting with a layer of sott earth, so that flowers and vines may be planted around the building. he baii-finished walk through Lovers’ Lane will also be completed. The neces- sary grading and part of the stone . laying has been done on it, but the fine rock and gravel is yet to be put down. Itis under- stood that more implements will be on hand so that every one who wishes can work. President Kellogg, Regent Reinstein and Professors Hilgard and Randall spent considerable time to-day in looking over the half-completed work and devising ways of undertaking the remainder so that it might be entirely finished by Satur- day noon.

WILL MEET AT REDWOOD The Republican Fifth District Congressional Committee to Be Created. THINGS MOVE IN THE FOURTH The Mahoney-Kelly Congressional Com- mittee Champions Itself and Gets Ready for Action. The Republican political proceedings to- day of greatestinterest will be the meeting at Redwood City this afternoon of the State Central Committeemen representing the Fifth District. Up till yesterday it had remained un- certain whether or not this meeting would occur according to the somewhat petulant adjournment taken by Messrs. Ayer, Ross and Dawson last week, when they met in ignorance of the postponenient of the meeting announced by Chairman Corn- wall. It had been supposed that some arrangement would be effected by which the meeting would be again postponed in accordance with the tacit agreement reached at the last meeting of the execu- tive committee of the State Central Com- mittee that nothing should be done re- garding the affairs of either the Fourtn or Fifth districts until after the next meeting of the executive committee, which will occur to-day. But yesterday it became certain that the Fifth District meeting would be held to-day and that all of the eleven committeemen of the district would be there in person or represented by proxy. It is unaerstood also that the meeting will likely be harmonious. Itis probable that the Congressional committee for the Fifth District will be appointed to-day. The Mahoney-Kelly Fourth District com- { mittee unexpectedly held a meeting yes- terday forenoon and took what is regarded by many to be snap action. As has been stated, the leaders of all elements con- cerned with the affair of the Fourth and Fiith districts agreed last Thursday at the meeting of the executive committee that everything should remain in statu quo for another week. A truce was declared with aview of bringing about a settlement of the tangle, if possible. X In disregard of this understanding four of the seven members of the Fourth Dis- trict Congressional committee appointed at that snap Saturday night meeting at the Baldwin Hotel held a meeting yester- day afternoon and made an_effort to for- tify their position. This is the committee that was created by the votes of two of the eleven State Committeemen, one legiti- mate proxy and two forged proxies. Those present yesterday were: J. S. Spear Jr., A. Bernard, A. P. Kearney and W. F. Howe. There was introduced and adopted a long resolution reciting a por- tion of the proceedings of the meeting of the State Central Committee and the pro- ceedings of the Baldwin Hotel meeting and declaring that commitiee the only regular and legal one. The resolution also stated that the committee had been offi- cially recognized by the executive com- mittee. . It was then decided that the committee should go right ahead witn the issuance of the call for a Congressional convention and the holding of a primary election. A committee of five to prepare the call and supervise election proceedings was ap- pointed, consisting of those present and N.J. Williams. This com:mittee wiil meet again this afternoon and proceed to do something further. : The committee brought forth still more evidence of its regularity, legality and purity. It was contained in along affi- davit by Martin Kelly. Kelly’s affidavir was devoted to a denial that the proxy of John Martin, State Central committee- man from the Forty-fifth District, voted by Senator Mahoney that night, was forged. It was Kelly who procured the alleged proxy, according to his story, and it was Senator Mahoney who voted it. With the forged proxies of Messrs. Mel- sing and Martin, Mahoney and Kelly were able to exhibit their majority, and it will be remembered that Mr. Martin has made affidavit that he gave nobody his proxy, verbally or in writing, and that if his proxy was used it was forged. Kelly’s affidavit states that he met Martin that mght and that Martin verbally gave him permission to use his name. Kelly used this proxy by telling Mahoney to use it. This committee has| endeavored to for- tify itself by conveying to Chairman Corn- wall of the exeécutive committe, who “is friendly to it, a formal report of its crea- | tion and organization, and by receiving from him “official” acknowledgment of the renort and his recognition. This is ex- pected to look well _and to give the com- mittee a little prestige, but the committee might as well have received official lecn%- nition from Governor Budd. The call adopted by the State committee, provid- {ing for tne Congressional committees, makes them supreme. The executive committee or its chairman have no juris diction over them in any degree, and Mr. Cornwall’s “recognition’” amounts to noth- ng. i‘he executive committee of the State Central Committee will meet this after- noon at 419 California street. There was yesterday no_prospect or promise of just what would be done or attempted to be done. 2 The County committee will hold a spe- cial meeting to-night, which will be de- voted mainly, if not entirely to the elec- tion of a successor to M. J. Donovan, de- ceased. She Was Not Married. In last Monday’s issue appeared a notice of the wedding of Mrs. Nora Wellsted at Ocean View. The notice was sent to the newspapers by mail in the usual way and was published as such matters are, there being no_reason to be- lieve that it was not true. Yesterday Mrs, Nora Welisted called at the editorial-rooms and denied that she had been married. She thinks that the notice was sent in by some one { wno had a grudge against heror wanted to play a practical joke upon her. — Alittle girl of Metz, 14 years old, named Louise Fuchs, has just been condemned to eight days’ imprisonment for having in- sulted the German Emperor. The insult consisted in writing a private letter to one of ner litile friends in which there was something disrespectful to his Majesty. Such sentences are quite common In Alsace-Lorraine.
