THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, MARCH 20, 1896. 13 Interesting Report of Important Up-to-Date News Items in Alameda County LYON POST MUST ANSWER Its Charter May Be Revoked by the Department of Cali- fornia and Nevada. ADELIA GOES TO WHITTIER. Chinese Must Hereafter Procure Per- mits From the' U. S. Marshal to Visit Prisoners. OAxLAND OFFICE SAN Fraxcisco CALL, 908 Broadway, March 19. } Lyon Post No. 8, G. A. R., hus been cited to appear before the Administrative Coun- cil of the Department of California and Nevada to show cause why its charter should not be revoked. The hearing has been set for Saturday night, March 28. This is the result of the charges made by Lyon Post against the directors of the Soldiers’ Home at Yountville regarding the management of that institution. Members of Lyon Yost, however, assert that they cannot be “‘disciplined’’ by the Council of Administration in this matter, because they have at least proven one of ihe charges—that of maintaining a can- teen or saloon on the grounds—as also two or three other items of the complaint. They admit that the outlookis some- what serious, though, especially in view of the fact that in “sending copies of these charges to the Governor, to Congressmen and others not members of the order they violated Grand Army regulations. Itissaid nce at the meeting of mall when the formal charges were adopted. It is quite generally known that the re- sult of the inquiry ordered as to the man- agement of the home in response to the charges filed by the committee appointed for the purpose by Lyon Post, was gener- ally favorable to the board ofdirectors, the report of Export Daniels, who was ap- | pointed to go over the books and accounts, being specially favorable to the manage- ment. “We have proved enough,” said a well- known member of the post to-night, ‘“‘to prevent any action by the council, and when the report is presented at the State Encampment there will be something more to be said. Till then matters will have to rest. Lyon Post will not have its charter revoked, you can rest assured.”’ IMPRO CLUB. Organized for the Benefit of West Oak- land.

STILL IM Buswell Thinks He Should Ride Free on Seventh Street. OAKLAND, Car, March 19.—E. G. Buswell is taking steps to carry his fight against the Southern Pacific into the Supreme Court. ~He still thinks that the corporation has no right to collect fares on Seventh street. “Iwill takeit to the Supreme Court,” said Mr. Buswell to-day, “and if necessary will take it thence to the Supreme Court of the United States. Steps have already been taken on appeal and notice of them have already been filed.” The case camie up before Judge Ellsworth some time ago and a decision denying Buswell the request of preventing the col- lection of fares on the line in question was rendered. It was hinted tnat Buswell might 2amend his complaint, bat that will not be done. This fact was set forth by a document filed to-day in the clerk’s office by C. M. Jennings, Buswell's attorney, notifying the attorneys for the railroad company that no amendment will be made and for them to have judgment entered upon demurrer. Chinese Visitors. OAKLAND, Car., March 19.-Jailer Al ‘White has decided that so many Chinese visitors to the Mongolian prisoners is not a good thing.

W.S. Cull, who lives near Haywards, and who was oné of the first persons to engage in the culture of fruit in Alameda Counli. is very ill—in tact, ison his deathbed. He has been ill three or four months. Mr. Cull's son, who was in town to-day, said little hope of his father’s recovery was entertained. Mrs. L.

A ESTERBRODK'S DENIAL L. R. Dawson of Seattle Named Him as a Co-Respond- ent, | Arrest of Mr. Pitman, Who Tried to Beat Uncle Collis Out of Five Cents. ALAMEDA, Carn, March 19.—Arthur F. Esterbrook of this city, the young man who is mentioned as co-respondent in a suit for divorce by L. R. Dawson of Se- attle against his wife, strenuously objects to having his name connected with the { matter in any way. Three years ago the | Dawson family spent the winter in Ala- meda, and during their stay resided in a | house on Regent street. The family con- sisted of Mrs. Dawson, her two children and an unmarried sister, the husband re- | maining in Seattle and practicing his pro- | fession as a dentist. After being here for | several months the family returned to Seattle, and nothing more had been heard of them until the announcement of the | divorce and the naming of a long list of co- | respondents. Esterbrook says that he met Mrs, Daw- | son in San Jose about four years ago, and | that about one yvear later he again met her !in Alameda, and made several calls at the i bouse on Regent street. iHe denies that their relations were improper or that she accompanied him anywhere, and says ;hlat the charges against him are entirely alse. Lane Is Located. ALAMEDA, Carn., March 19.—Robert Lane, the man who came over here from houses, almost within one block, and who subsequently skipped after having fur- nisheg straw bouds to the amount of §2000, has been located at Cripple Creek, Colo. The Oakland authorities have received in- formation to that effect, that he is at that place, and an effort will probably be made to capture him. Lane, after having been given hisliberty, got out of reach of the authgrities as soon as he could, and no recourse could be had, because the bonds furnished were perfectly worthless. Be- sides the crime of entering houses Lane bad a charge of embezzlement against him. During last October he called on a Miss Petrenahl of 908 Lafayette street and sold her a 25-cent lottery ticket, for which, in payment, she gave him $10. He went off to get the change, but never returned. | When he was arrested on the last charges she called to see him at the City Prison, recognizing the man at once as the one who had duped her. School Vacation. ALAMEDA, Car., March 19.—In future the Alameda and San Francisco public schools will have their vacations extending over the same period of time. Up to the present time there has been considerable variance between the two cities with regard to the opening and closing dates of the schools. "An arrangement has now been made whereby San Francisco will close her schools for the midsummer vacation about the middle of June and open again on August 1, allowing six weeks in all. This has always been the custom in Ala- meda, it being considered the best method of winding up the school year. Tried to Evade Payment. ALAMEDA, Cawn., March 19.— A ship- carpenter named J. Pitman, residing at the Bay View House at Alameda Point, was arrested this morning by Officer Brown at the narrow-gauge mole, and upod being brought to the City Prison was charged with attempting to evade the pay- ment of railroad fare. Pitman boarded the train at Beventh and Webster streets, Oakland, and persistently refused to part with any of the pocketful of coin which he had and made an attempt to alight at Alameda Point. He was held aboard, however, and taken to the mole, where he was turned over to a policaman. Funeral of J. C. Smith. ALAMEDA, Can, March 19.—The funeral of J. C.

Gustave Dore could show invention, not only in his wonderful illustrations, but also in matters of everyday life. One day a friend at Verona was taking a photogravhic view of a picturesque ola street and Dore tried to assist by keeping off the crowd of idle lookers-on. " It was a ditficult task and the more he gesticuiated and threatened the greater became the ;grong. Suddenly Dore had a splendid ea. “Wait a minuie!” he called out to his friend, “and I'll disperse them.” He then took off his coat, threw it on the und and, assuming a pitiful ex- pression, he went_round, cap in hand, to beg for a few soldi.

SPOIL ELECTRIC EXPERIMENTS. High School Girls Must Choose Be- tween Correct Scientific Results or Prevailing Fashions. OARLAND OrrFIcE SAN FrANCISCO Cnn,} 908 Broadway, March 19. This city is very fortunate in having a woman on the School Board, for a question has arisen that only a woman can handle with propriety. A very delicate subject is now engaging the attention of the girl pupils in the High Scheol. It concerns the wearing of corsets. Yesterday afternoon Dr. Myra W. Krox, who is also a 8chool Director, de- livered a lecture before the High School girls on the commenplace things of a girl's life. After discussing the questions of diet, sleep, housework and other mat- ters she referred to the subject of dress. ‘A gentleman connected with our city schools,’’ said Dr. Knox, *‘has repeatedly saia that our High School girls dress too much. Heis a man of judgment and good taste, and is deeply interested in all that pertains to students. “I sincerely hope he is mistaken in this for several reasons. First, it reflects on your good taste. Second, you are set‘ing a bad example. 1f you dress suitably for the schoolroom you may help some one else to have the moral courage to dress within her means. And may I speak of vour graduating dresses? That is a serious question twige a year to quite a number. I hope the coming class will set an example for all future classes in inexpensive sim- plicity, for simplicity is not always in ex- pensive. Of course youknow aswell asI do that corsets should not be worn by a growing girl. She should have a chance to grow and expand as nature intended she should, and as a_boy does. Imagine a boy in corsets. And why mot? If they are good for a girl, why not fora boy? Suggest it to your brothers. “In many ways we might improve on the way of wearing garments. Skirts should be light and fastened to a waist. ‘Warmth should be supplied by the un- derwear. Your costume for the gym- nasium is the best possible, for it is made for a purpose and gives absolute freedom to all parts ol the bady."” 5 After the lecture Drs Sarah I. Shue read the following questions to the girls and asked them to answer on blank slips of paper: 1. What increase of growth (weight, ete.) have you attained during the past year? 2. How many hours' work tn manual train- ing have you taken? 5 3. Do you breakiast before comine to school? . What does your usual breakfast consist of? Do you take a warm luncheon at school? At what hour do you retire? . Are yon often up later than that hour? . Do you help your mother at home? Nearly all the girls answered the ques- tions, but some of the older aud more fashionable misses seemed to consider the questions too personal, and did not reply. “There was only one other question,” said Dr, Shuey, ‘and. it was a perfectly proper one to be addressed by a ph}{siciml —a woman—to a class of girls. either Principal McChesney nor any other man was in the gymnasium at the time. I heard no protests, and do not know if any of the girls were indignant. At the time Italked to the girls about the wearing of corsets, but I see no harm in that. Ihave more than. one reason for doing that. Professor McChesney tells me that the girls cannot take ‘the course in_ electricity perfectly because the steels in their corsets act as magnets.”” Some time ago the girls complained to Prioftessars Mandiot ‘Ehais fosbalibito ‘obs tain correct results in the electrical experi- ments and the professor stated it was due to the presence of steel in the girls’ cloth- ing. *‘Yes; 1 told the girls they could not wear steel corsets and try to make accu- rate experiments with the galvanometer,” said Professor Mead to-day. “It is im- possible to do so. The boys are forced to discard their steel knives and anything else of steel in their possession during ex- periments with the galvanometer, and the girls will have to do the same. I told these facts to Miss Palmer, who conducts the physical exercises, and asked her to re- quest all the young ladies who worked with electricity ,to cease from wearing steels.” The matter was revived by yesterday's lecture, and now that science and fashion have collided there will probably be some rule framed that will fit tae case. FIRE AT HAYWARDS. An Electric Light Spark Causes Damage in a Clothing-Store, HAYWARDS, CAv., March 19.—This mornicg at 5 o'clock night watchman Pimeintel, on passing the large general merchandise store of A. Alexander on B street, saw smoke issuing from the inter- jor of the store and he hurriedly awakened the proprietor. On opening the doors the store was found to be filled with smoke and a counter full of clothing was in ruins. The loss will be very heavy, as the goods are nearly all ruined from the smoke. The cause of the fire is attributed to a spark falling from the large electric light on the clothing. ANOTHER EASTERN THIP Berkeley May Send a Track Team Across the Continent * Again This Year. 0AS A Encouragement From Yale and Prince. ton—Rev. Anna Shaw Lectures. Intercollegiate Field Day. BERKELEY, CaL., March 19.—Captain Merwin has just received two important telegrams from the East which tend to cast a much more favorable light than bhas hitherto been sbed on the proposed East- ern track athletic trip this summer. Yes- terday he telegraphed to Yale and to Princeton, asking if each would meet the University of California track team ina single contest or join 1n a contest in which the three institutions were participants. In reply he received the following dis- patches from the captains of the Yale and Princeton teams: NEw HAVEN, Conn., March 18, 1896. L. T. Merwin, Captain University 0{ California Track Athletic Team, Berkeley, Cal.: Cannot make arrangements at such short notice. Please write. L. P. SHELDON, Track Captain Yale. 1.7, Mertn, Captath Uniersiy of catis T n, in University of California Track Athletic Team; Bzrb:kY Cai.: IAm é’flf:’;, to have meeting of three colleges, if possible to arrange. ROBERT GARRETT JR., . Track Captain Princeton, The plan of having a triple meet between the three institutions mentioned was ad- vanced early in Kastern and Middle West colleges con- cerning athletic contests that the Berkeley team has felt justified in taking up the triple meet plan for a second time. Al- ready about $700 has been guaranteed the California team by the Middle West co!- leges, providing a meet can be arranged for the late spring or early summer. Union College has also filed a request to meet the California men should they come to New York this season, but no money guarantee has yet been made by them. The two tele- grams received last night from Yale and Princeton have created a considerable stir in university atbletic circles and the par- ticularly favorable word from Princeton inspired feelings of encouragement un- precedented this year. Captain Merwin said this evening: ‘“We are indeed greatly encouraged at the prospecfs for another trip East. The principal question now re- maining unsolved is that of finances. We are certan of what we can do on the track and field, judging partly from our last year’s work and from what our men are doing now. What we now want is to know that the money to pay our ex- penses will be forthcoming from the con- tests in which we are to engage. We will &mbnbly meet Yale and Princeton on anhattan field if we arrange for contests with them. Should we go East we wiil leave Berkeley about Mav 2.” U. C.-Stanford Fleld Day. BERKELEY, CAL., March 19.—Manager Brown of the Stanford track team and Captain Merwin of the University of Cali- fornia team have concluded the prelim- inary arrangements connected with the coming annual intercollegiate field day. April 25 has been set as-the date of the contest. Following is the agreement governing the aftairs of the match, which the two university representatives have signed: First—To hold the annual intercollegiate field day of 1896 at the Olympic Club grounds in San Francisco, on April 25,1896, at 2 o'clock PN Second—That the list and order of events be the same as those prescribed by the I.A. A., with the eption of the bicycle race. Third—A two-mile bicyele race will be 4n- cluded in the list of events, to take the place of special bicycle races named in the events of the I A. A. Fourth—Each university shall stand equally the expenses of the meet. and from the gross | receipts of the meet Stanford shall receive $2 for each athlete representing her in actual contest. Likewise the University of California shall receive 30 cents for each athlete repre- senting her in actual contest, this money to be paid in lieu of traveling expenses. No addition or aiteration of thisagreement can be made without the mutual consent of the parties concerned. D. E. Browx, Manager Track Team, Stanford. w T. MERWIN, Cuptain U. C. Team. Intercollegiate Basket-Ball. BERKELEY, CAL,, March 19.—Thedate for the U. C.-Stanford co-ed basket-ball game has been set. Manager Edith Brown- sill ot the Berkeley team and Manager Esther Wood Keifer met in San Francisco last evening and decided that the inter- collegiate contest would take place on April 4. The place of meeting will be Ar- mory Hall, San Francisco. The time of the game will be forty minutes, divided into two twenty-minute halves with a ten- minute intermission. The officials of the day have not yet been named. The floor to be used will be wood, and not earth or tanbark, as was at first considered. The audience will be composed of women only, a mixed crowd having been consid- ered out of the question. The Berkeley co-eds are under strict training rules and are practicing daily in preparation for the match, All objection o the game on the part of the facul \r\: at Berkeley seems to be removed since it has been decided that the game will be played indoors and not before a mixed audience. - A.P. A, Meeting. BERKELEY, CAL., March 19.—Berkeley Council No. 22, of the American Protective Association, held a meeting in Odd Fel- lows’ Hall last night, when State President Hudelson delivered an address on the pol- itical issmes raised by the order. Mr. Hudelson urged that a State Board of Edu- cation should be appointed to regulate all school matters, so that the standards of scholarship, of requirements: for teachers’ certificates and of textbooks to be used would be the same in all counties. He declared it to be the intention of the A. P. A. to have the next State Legisia- ture cut off all State appropriations for sectarian institutions, and advocated the establishment of high schools in every dis- trict in the State, so that no pupils would have to leave home and pay tribute in high schools. Dental College Field Day. RERKELEY, Car., March 16.—A long and varied programme of events for the dental college neld day at Berkeley next Saturday has been arranged. There will be five events open to all students—the 220~ yard dash, the 120-yard hurdle, 220-yard hurdle, high jump and pole vault. The event of the day will be a mile relay race. Five men from each class of dental college will compose the contesting teams, The race will be for a silver trophy given by the faculty of the dental college. . To Reduce Expenses. BERKELEY, Carn, March 19.—Fred Wilkes, secretary of the West Berkeley Progressive Club, has suggested a novel way of reducing: expenses in the sehool department. Mr. "Wilkes thinks the teachers should be subject to competition like contractors and other workers em- ployed by the town. According to his plan bids should be received and the teacher offering his service at the lowest figures should be appointed. New Hydrauts. BERKELEY, CAL, March 19.—Super- intendent of Streets Guy Chick has ad- dressed a letter to the Alameda Water Company requesting that company to place about fifty new hydrants at various points in the territory covered by its mains and to re{rlnce about thirty of its old two- inch hydrants with four-inc hydrants. It is expected that work will be begun on the changes at once. Lecture by Miss Shaw. BERKELEY, CAL, March 19.—Rev. Anna M. 8haw delivered her lecture on “‘The New Man" before a large audience in Shattuck Hall this evening.

Haight, president of the league, introduced the speaker. Biue and Gold Benefit. BERKELEY, Car., March 19.—A con- cert for the benefit of the Blue and Gold, to be Fublxshed by the State University class of 97, was held this-evening in Stiles Hall. An elaborate programme was ren- dered, among the periormers being Charles E. Parcells, Miss Evelyn Henry, Mrs. Humphrey-Smith, Miss Newman and the University Glee Ciub. ¥ined Five Dollars. BERKELEY, Can, March 19.—Jacob Happersberger was fined §5 by Justice James to-day for_viotating the ordinance prohibiting the keeping more than two cows on a lot of less than two acres within the town limits. —_———— Dogs in the Army. Speaking of the pronosed use of dogs in the German army to give first aid to the injured, James Pa{na in the Indepen- dent says: ‘It will be curious if tgiu animals distinguish themseives in this humane employment, as the dogs of St. Bernard have done in a different field. They Lave already been taught, it is said, to ‘search for wounded men, either by day or night, with unerring ac- curacy.” But how do they know they are wounded? Indeed, as those they have bpen experimenting upon have been ob- viously only pretending to be wounded, | they must hitherto have made nothing.| but mistakes, To a wounded man who has not been informed of this canine edu- cation it must be father alarming to find a strange dog with a cold nose taking, as it were, _admfnons of his condition before plying the latest remedies attached to HER PASTOR'S CHARGES Mrs. Prescott Will Investigate the Charges and Record of Rev. Mr. Ellis. SUSPECTS HE HAS A MOTIVE. Meanwhile the Minister Says He Is Convinced That Old Clark Is the Agent’s Victim. 04xLAND OFFICE SaN Fraxcisco CALL,) 908 Broadway, March 19. | Rev. John W. Ellis, pastor of the Cen- tennial Presbyterian Church, has locked horns with Mrs. Prescott, agent of the Children’s Society, and this afternoon he published a statement reflecting on that lady. Mrs. Prescott denies his charges in toto and hints that Rev. Mr. Ellis must have some motive for attacking her that has not yet been made public. The trouble is all over thearrestof an aged man named Clark for immoral conduct with little girls, “There hangs upon this question,” said Mr. Ellis to-day, “the matter of a man’s trial for a serious offense. It would be an unfortunate thing if Mrs. Prescott and I shouid differ so materially as to cause this man injury. The case is one in which my stand is merely that of a clergyman, and I bave nothing personal in the matter at all. After hearing Mrs. Prescott’s story Ishould have left the matter alone if she had not told me that she had had those children in her house for three hours at a time and volunteered the information that she knew what she was doing, for she said she was a good cross-examiner. Isaidto myself, if these are the facts the children must bave been filled up with a whole lot of talk, and consequently thought the slt]might story could not be obtained from them. 3y “Now, another thing. I am in receipt of a number of letters and have had sev- eral personal interviews with people who complain bitterly of her treatment of them and their families. These charges are very serious. We are now investigating thi whole thing, and if the reports are true, whatever office she holds, if any, will be- come a matter of vastimportance to the puablic. - The question of her right to enter a family and forcibly take children away enters into this matter alro. Ialways sup- posed the society was a kindred organiza- tion to religious bodies of that character, but find it is a public office and that Mrs, Prescott spends most_of her time in the District Attorney’s office, “As for the difference, I am quite able to sustain_myself, being fully confident of the stand I take. I am also equally con- tident that old Mr. Clark is innocent of the charges, for if I wege not, I would take ro part whatever in this affair. I am merely assisting him in trying to get some attorney to take up his case. He hasno money nor has he any ability to defend himself, so I am trying to persuade an attorney, out of love or charity, to defend him. As soon as he gets a lawyer I am done with the case. He is not a member of my church, but I simply agreed to see Mrs. Prescott for him. i won't let any man suffer unjustly when it isin my power to prevent it.” “I am quite at a loss to understand what |is the matter with Rev. Mr. Eliis,” said Mrs. Prescott to-night. “lt seems to me that he has some motive for attacking me that has not yet been made public. He says he never knew Clark, and yet he ap- pears to be deeply interested in his case. I think when the matter is more fully in- vestigated that Mr, Ellis will be sorry he has said so much. I never had the chil- dren for hours at my house; ueither did I coach thenr, When he called on me I thought he was merely interested in know- ing the facts, and we talked over things In confidence. He now says that 1 said things I never uttered. My record is clean and nonerable. I know that Mr. Ellis has a record, but I do not kmow just what kind it is, but feel confident that it will not compare favorably with mine. I am geing to make some inquiries at San Francisco and Walnut Creek about him, and may have some very interesting things to tell in the near future.” PINKAND WHITE WEDDING Nuptials of Miss Carrie Heller and I Flishman of Los Angeles. The Groom Is a Nephew of L W. Hellman, President of the Nevada Bank. The wedding of Miss Carrie Heller, daugnter of the late Moses Heller, and I. Flishman of Los Angeles was solemnized last evening at 9 o’clock at the residence of the bride’s mother, Mrs. Emilie Heller, 1801 California street. 2 Rev. Dr. Voorsanger of the Temple Emmanu-El performed the ceremony ac- cording to the rites of the Hebrew church. Miss Heller, the bride of last evening, is one of the most popular belles in Jewish social circles. Talented, accomplished, affable and an heiress, no entertainment was considered complete at which she was not present. Although fond of social life and gayety, her decided dislike of ostentation and pub- licity have caused her to refuse the many entertainments planned in her honor and that of Mr. Flishman during the past three months of their engagement. The groom is a nephew of I. W. Hellman, president of the Nevada Bauk, and is pop- ular in southern society. Although 150 invitations were issued for the ceremonv last evening, the guests in- cluded only relatives of the contracting parties and most intimate friends. All the details and arrangements for the wedding were marked by the ntmast sim- plicity. There were no bridal attendanta. E. 8. Heller gave the bride away. The d ecorations of the home were artis- tic and elaborate. Miss Bates was given carte blanche in that matter and the re- sults were more than pleasing.

In the adjoining apartment marigolds made an effective decoration and in the corridor green was the prevailing tone. The bride wore & ml,nlficent gown of white Duchesse satin, the slightly decolette corsage of which was trimmed with rare old lace. After the ceremony congratulations and- & short order of dances were in order. At 11:30 an elaborate supper was served, after which dancing was resumed.
