THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, MARCH 24, 1896. Yo Interesting Report of Important Up-to-Date News Items in Alameda County WELL VERSED IN CRIME. The Quartet of Baby Burglars Seem Happy in Their Cell. HINTS OF MANY MISDOINGS. Chief Lloyd Speaks of Searching Baby Buggies and Shadowing School Children. OaxrAND OFFICE SAN Fraxcisco CALL,) 908 Broadway, March 23. | Another boy burglar has been aaded to the irio in the City Prison. He is James de Rocca, a brother of Frank, who was ar- rested Saturday. Thelittle gangisnow sup- posed to be all in jail and when they were lined up to-day by Officer Rand to be pho- tographed it cannot be said that they did not look all that they profess to be. .Tafnesk e Rocea is only 12 years of age and is very small for one of his years. His brother Frank is only 10, while the child of the noble name of Pacheco is 11, and Bob Ash, the king of the gang, is nearly 14. Thbey are all kept in one cell, and althouch m:dg to clean it out twice a day they show a desire for filth and discomfort that is re- pulsive in the extreme. It is thought likely that the quartet has been living a life of crime for some become disconnected, an _explosion wonld result and the engineer and fireman would be killed. The roof ofsthe old building, 100, is off the engine, and should it be ex- ?osed might ruin the machinery. These acts are given as sufficient reason for the continuance of work. . Judge Frick was not on band this morn- ing when the attorneys for plaintiff and defendant appeared. An effort was made to have Judge Ellsworth hear the matter, but ne could not, having entered into a conversation concerning it. It may be taken for hearing to-morrow, although nothing definite has been settled upon. A Dangerous Trip. ALAMEDA, CaL., March 23. —Two weeks ago George, Louis and Charles Tullis left on a catamaran which they had recently built and thoroughly equipped | for a trip up the Sacramento River. All went well with them until on the return trip last Saturday, when they had an_ex- perience which nearly cost them their lives und which did cost them the loss of their craft. Coming down through the straits df Carquinez the frail catamaran encountered some heavy seas and was straining every timber trying to weatber | the gale. Everything even then might have gone well had not the boat struck a floating log. She ran tilt into one just at the time when the crisis had passed, the result being a complete shattering of every stick in her. The navigators man- aged to get into a tender which they had been towing and rowed ashore, landing on the northeasiern extremity of Angel Island. There they stayed all night, for some reason making no attempt to get over to the other side of the island, where they couid have been cared for. They shivered until morning in their wet clothes and suffered greatly from hunger. Still they stayed, hoping that they might attract the notice o? some _passing craft and get succor. They waited all day, but not 1ntil late in the afternoon did they see a sail. Then it happened that Captain E. A. von Schmidt came along in bis yacht | Whirlwind, and he, seeing their frantic | motions and bearing their loud yells for Bob Ash, aged 1i. b James Chicken Pacheeo, aged 11. Frank de Rocca, aged OAKLAND'S BABY de Rocca, aged 12. 1. Oficer Rand, Oakland’s pioneer policeman BURGLARS AND ONE OF THEIR CUSTODIANS. [From @ photograph.] months. Ash is a well-known little petty larcenist and from hints the boys have been dropping, it is inferred that they long since joined the lignt-fingered fra- ternity. The cause of the elder De Rocca’s arrest was a suspicion that he broke into the sta- tion at First and Broadway and stole a bunch of ferry tickets. The lad acknowl- edged knowing all about it. They have also told the Chief of a bicycle they stole from the Rambler shop last Friday. Ches- ter was the leader on that raid. He walked into the store and rolled out the first wheel he saw while the ema;loyes Tooked on, evidently thinking he had aright to it. They hid the machine in a barn and the police found it there. For a long time there have been little gangs of water-front pirates stealing from ships and off the wharves, and at times some of these now under arrest have played the role of amateur pirates and takenaway boats and plunder which they have after- ward disposed of. They have not been guilty of any great crimes, but they have indulged in peccadillos, and without doubt there isa “fence’’ which they pat- ronized and which is not known to the police. S5 “It would seem as if it were useless to suspect grown-up people of crime any more,”” said Chief Lloyd to-day. ““The officers will soon consider it neces- sary to search baby buggies and shadow school children. These little fellows are just as smart as oid thieves and are just as able to cover up their tracks. The exam- ple set by Majors and Wilmore has, I fear, been far-reaching, but their followers seem to forget that these lads are now spending ten years in jail. It is very difficuit to de- cide just what to do with these lads. They "are babies, both in size and crime, compared to the original two boy burglars, but I suppose there is nothing for them but the reform school.” The lads were in the Police Court this morning, but asno compizints had been filed their cases were continued until to- MOTToW, DISOBEYING THE COURT, Work on the Addition to the Alameda Electric Plant Goes On. A Barroom Brawl—Dangerous Trip in a Catamaran—News : Notes. ALAMEDA, Cav., March 23.—Notwith- standing the temporary injunction issued on Saturday last by Judge Frick restrain- ing the City Trustees and *‘their agents and servants and all persons acting under their authority from permitting or causing to be permitted any further work upon the addition to the building now in Process of construction upon the land occupied by the municipal electric plant,” the noise of hammer and saw was stiil to be heard this morning at the works. City Attorney Taylor adyised the contractors and their employes that they might eon- tinue their labors in spite of the court’s or- der, which they did. An afidavit which Engineer Messer of the electric works would have presented in court g' bhad the hearing been held, explains why the City Attorney takes this liberty. 1t shows that an‘excavation six feet deep has been made for the foundation of the new boiler and engine which is sgon to be placed at the works; that it is in sandy s0il, likely to cave 2t any time; and being only four feet from the old machinery, Ihclp, came to their rescue and brought | them to Alameda, much the worse for the bard knocks they had received. A Barroom Brawl. | ALAMEDA, CaL.,, March 23.—A bar- room brawl yesterday resulted in the com- plete using up of one of the participants. | Sherman Fish, an ex-police officer, and Robert Cavanaugh got into an altercation in the **0ld Corner Saloon” and soon were | at it hammer and tongs. Cavanaugh thrust Kish through a pane of glass and | he was badly cut about the face. Myron | Fish, the injured man’s son, attemp to | assist his_father, but wasvkept at bay by Thomas Cavanaugh, a brother of the as- sailant. Dr. Zeyn dressed Fish’s wounds, which required eight stitches, General Notes. ALAMEDA, CaL., March 23.—The City | Trustees passed thisevening a claim for |1 $7949 in favor of Thomas E{ Day & Son of Ban Francisco, being the final payment on account of construction work on the City Hall. rs. E. D. Ells, of the Central restaur- ant, was awarded the contract to fernish mea!s for the inmates of the City Prison. She agrees to do so at the rate of 18 cents per meal. An ordinance making it 2 misdemeanor to deface public buildings was passed. F.N. Debanoy made application for a franchise to establish an electric light works. It was filed. | — e | HISTORY OF A DAY. Alameda County Happenings Told in Brief Chapters. OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,: 908 Broadway, March 23. The matter of the final settlement of the bill of exceptions in tHe water-front case was con- tinued to-day until Wednesday. The divorce case of William B. Church | against Georgiana Church has been referred to the Court Commissioner to take testimony. J. H. E. Partington, the artist, will speak on Friday evening next before the Starr King Fraternity upon “Painting, Pictures and Paint- ers”” Governor Budd will be present at the Fabiola May fete.

Janet Cameron has been granted a divorce from Truman Cameron on the ground of adultery and cruelty. The plaintiff is awarded the community property on Magnolia and Fifth streets. There is considerable feeling between Acme Club members and the Qirectoraie of the Y. M, C. A., owing to the latter's refusal to allow the use of the Tabernacle for a boxing exbibition, Pressure has been brought to bear u; rectors, and even some members of their own association have urged that the request be granted, The case of James Stuart Adams vs. Anita Day was to have been argued on demurrer to the engrossed complaint before Judge Frick this morning, but went over until to-morrow at 10 o'clock. Judge Frick was not on the benea, having gone out of town. In his ab- sence Judge Ellsworth disposed of the busi- ness on the docket. The attorneys for J. T. Fleming, who is try- ing to defeat the nrofmd improvement of the municipal electric-light piant in Alameds, have amended their complaint and set up that the proposed enlargement is for the purpose of supplying incandescent light to private con- sumers and that the tees have not the power under the charter to do so. & In Judge Ogden’'s court this afternoon the motion for a new trial in the case of Public Ad- ministrator Knight vs. Tn,)p was dismissed without prejudice and will later be submitted on briefs. In this case the Public Administra- tor sued Tripp as trustee and secured the per- sonal effects of Mrs. Eliza Cook, which Tripp had previously refused to surrender.

WILL VISIT COLONEL SUTER. Politicians Quarrel Over a Populist Vote and There May Be a Duel, OAKLAND OrFICE SAN Fraxcisco CALL,) 908 Broadway, March 23. The Board of Supervisors spent some time to-day discussing the best mode of proceedure in the matter of the draw- bridges over the Oakland Harbor at Alice and Webster streets. This was necessary owing to the notice served upon County Clerk Jordan by Colonel Charles R. Suter of the United States army engineer corps. The notice set forth that it was proposed to require the reconstruction of the draw spans, 5o as to givea clear draw opening of not Iess than 150 feet, the substitution of other than hand power for operating the draws, and propositions looking to the substitution of a single structure in place of the present two bridges, and that a hearing would be held - before Colonel Charles R. Suter in his office in San Fran- cisco on Wednesday next at 11 A, M. District Attorney Charles E. Snook ad- dressed the board, adhering to his opinion given that body on October 9, 1895, to the effect that the Supervisors had no author- ity over the bridge further than to see that it was kept in repair. ‘‘The Alice-street bridge,” he said, ‘“was built by a railroad company, and the board had nothing whatever to do with it. The Webster- street bridfze was built by a joint commis- sion, but, later, by an act of the Legisla- ture, it was transferred to the Supervisors for maintenance. “I don’t see how the board hasany }mwer to construct the bridge, as proposed, of a county has no right to come into municipalities and do such work without an act of the Legislature. It might have the power to go ahead and widen the span desired if it can be proven that it is not wide enough as it is. “The War Department has no authority in the matter until there is »n act of Con- gress accepting the harbor. It is a fact the Government is doing work in the es- tuary and has made Oakland a port of entry, but the State Lerislature is supreme in the control of the bridge over it until Congress takes some action remov- ing that power.” The attorney dismissed the board to present its case to Colonel Suter by pre- paring three facts for his consideration: First—Powers of the board in the premises as provided by the laws now in force. Second—Whether the span is such now as I to be an Inconvenience to commerce. Third—Regarding the time occupied in op- erating the bridge. ““Well, we certainly have a pig in a hole, here,” remarked Snook. *‘Why, in 1877 the county rejused to accept this Webster- street’ bridge, but it was forced to. The county not only had to accept the bridge, but was obliged to keep it in repair accord- ing to law. I wonld suggest, if Congress wants to take charge of the situation, to give 1t the bridges. I jeel sure the county would surrender all rights to the the Gov- ernment if i was desired. These engineers overestimate the board’s power. They seem to think we can buiid a new bridge at their dictation, but we can’t do anything of the kind, according to my judgment.’’ The matter was referred to a committee, eonsmmg of Buperviser W. H. .Church, County Clerk Frank C. Jordan, County Surveyor Geéorge L. Nusbaumer and Dis- trict Attorney Charles E. Snook, to pre- pare the case to be presented at the hear- ing. It was decided that the Board of Super- visors attend the hearing in a body, leav- ing Oakland Wednesday at 9:30. CHALLENGES FREELY PASS, Ex-Assemblyman Bretz and George W. Asper Have Trouble Over Notes. OAKLAND, CaL, March 23.—Ex-As- semblyman A. A. Bretz and George W. Arper a former aspirant for the Mayoralty of this city, had a clash this afternoon and now both are breathing vengeance against the other. The two so far have only in- dulged in a word war, but more serious trouble may break out at any moment and undoubtedly will if the two come face to face while in the present mood. Arper and Bretz were formerly good friends, but when the latter entered the journalistic field he asked Arper to cash some notes made by locat Populists, so as to secure money to start their sheet. The note fell due November, 1893, but to date all attemnpts to collect it have failed. Nat- urally Arper has lost faith in Populists in general, as well as a large number in par- ticular, so. when Bretz appeared on the scene to-day and expressed a desire to have another Populist note “shaved” he was met with the statement that neither he nor any of his friends were any good. Bretz took exceptions to the remark and for a few moments Arper’s office was blue with oaths and uncomplimentarv re- marks about the two men which finally resulted in Arper saying: “You're a cur, and I want you to get out of my office. “You’re another, and I’ll get out when I —- please,” was the rejoinder. “You’ll get out now, and —— quick at that.”” With this Mr. Arper forcibly ejected from his store the Populist editor. This so enraged Bretz that he aared “Arper to come out and meet him with bare fists or any other weapon he might name. When | he atlempted to re-enter Arper banged the door in the angry Populist’s face. Bretz then departed breathing vengeance. WOULD RATHER HANG Than Go to the State Prison for a Term of Years, OARLAND, Cav., March 23.—Benjamin L. Hill, the convicted wife murderer, says | he would rather meetdeath on the scaffold than serve a term of years ‘in the State Prison, and as a result may tell the court he is ready for sentence when he appears before Judge Ogden Wednesday. In speaking of the matter his attorney to-day said: *I shall appeal his case if he will let me. If he objects I can do noth- ing against his wishes. He says it will take a year of more before he will know whether he is to have a new trial or not, if an appeal is taken, and meanwhile he must remain in jail. Then if he should g:t a new trial, and there should be a sen- nce of ten years or life imprisonment in Folsom or 8an Quentin, he woyld much rather die on the fold. ' He does not fear death aund appears determined to let nothing further be done in his case.” SNIFFS THE BATTLE. Campaign for the Suffrage Amendment to Be Opened Thursday. .OAKLAND, CAL., March 23.—The cam- paign in favor of the sutfrage amendment is to be opened in this city Thursday night with a grand mass-meeting at the Taber- nacle by the woman suffragists of Ala- meda County. : Miss Susan B.

OARLAND OFFICE SAN FRrANCISCO CALL, | 908 Broadway, March 23. § The local Salvatiomsts are somewhat divided regarding the spirit that animated the editor of the current number of the Congueror, an army publication, when he arranged for page 111. In the light of re- cent events the floral illustration looks like a polite way of telling the late com- mander that he should practice what he preaches.

Stricken With Paralysis. OAKLAND, Car., March 23.—Dr. Henry E. Knox, one of the oldest practicing dentists of this city, was stricken down with paralysis Friday afternoon while alone in his office. His whole right side is afflicted, but his pkysician gives hopes of his recovery. He was attacked in the same manner some seven years ago.

The daunghters—Mrs. Legault and Mrs. Flem- ing—are assisting their mother in ner effort to get the money for her use. ‘The matter has been continued a couple of weeks to allow the reauired notice to be served on all interested parties.

Several tim fitorial page, where frequent mention is made of the necessity of obedience in the Salvation Army and of the struggle that is sometimes required to say ‘‘farewell.” The following paragraph is taken as indi- cating a hostile feeling to Ballington Booth. The principle of self-denial, without which nothing great, or noble, or of permanent value ever bas been, can be or will accomplishied for either God or man. In this instance—and all like it—a great number of peopie are called upon tq practice this difficult virtue—the commender and Mrs. Booth, the officers and soldiers of the army on the American field, the auxiliaries and other friends and sympathizers outside our ranks and the territory as a whole. In other places the spirit of the editorial matter is taken as indication that the copg was all prepared before Ballington Boot! announced his intention of disobeying the general's orders, ana that there was no sarcastic intent in the publication of page 111. Those who believe in this may sus- tain their position by the following ex- pression: It 1s no easy or trifling matter for officers who have held long and successful commands to bid adieu to comrades in arms to whom they are bound by tles of mutusl love, grati- tude and appreciation. The efficers and sol- diers of the American wing naturally do not from leaders who have indeed led and whose lives have cor- responded with their words, The territory, as a whole, naturally feels retuctant to iose the benefit of the experience, toils and talents of those whose administration has been conspicu- ously successful—even for the benefit of some otheér country. 3 The wording of the extract that bears the signature of BallingtonBooth is so stranegly at variance with his conduct of the past few weeks as to niake it unfortunate that it appeared at this time, if its publication were devoid of malice. “One thinfiu is certain,” said Ensign Reid, “and that is that nothing has been done at our National headquarters that could in the least degree offend the feel- ings of our late commander. It1s our de- sire, and to a8 great extent our hope, that Ballington Booth will soon see that he has made a mistake and will acknowledge that he has done wrong. Iam sure that no officer or editor would ever dream of hurting his feelings or of creating any obstacle nfininn his retarn.” The Oakland corps does not appear to have taken any notice of the Eastern trouble. There has not been any talk of secession, but, on the contrary, every in- dividual member of the corps has pledged their fidelity to the general and the Pa- cific Coast officers. MOTHER OF NINETEEN. When She Got Home Not One Was to Be Seen. QAKLAND, CaL.,, March 23.—If Mrs. Kate Kennedy of Temescal had one more child she would be the mother of an even score.
