Owing to the growing commerce of the port and the additional wharves at have been built west of Lake Merritt, s advisable that there be but one bridge 1 that it be built as far east as possibie.

She was taken to the City Prison and is held as an ordinary drunk. Attention was first attracted to her on Broadway about -5 o'clock. She was dressed in a light suit and had a light soft felt hat on a head of bushy black hair cut short. Her walk, small hands, and feet encased in low-cut ties cansed comment, and when talking to a man she was with the voice was very feminine. Her general figure was another reason to believe she was masquerading. Detective Shorey questioned her escort, who said it was a man from Sacramento who was going home. As they were still on the street an hour later "he airested the woman, but let the man go. Later the man re- turned to the prison with some fruit for her, but refused to give his name.

On motion of Supervisor Church the sum was cut down o §: The ladies wrote to the Supervisors disdaining to accept the smaller sum. This afternoon a resolution was adopted at the meeting of Supervisors correcting the minute of March 9, when a resolution was adopted donating $25 to the Ladies’ Co-operative Aid Society from the county infirmary fund, so as to make it read from the gounty general fund.

CONTRACTOR MISSING. He Went Away, but Did Not Even Tell His Wife When He Might Return. OAKLAND, Car.. March 30.—The mill- men and material men of San Francisco and Oakland are anxiously awaiting the location of F. L. Hansen, a building con- tractor, well known on both sides of the bay, who has been missing for a week or ten days past. Mr. Hansen has been residing at 515 Thirty-third street in a cottage recently erected. When seen to-day Mrs. Hansen said her husband had left a week ago Wednesday, saying he was going to San Jose, but he did not say why he was going or how long he would be away. She said she had received no word from him since he went away and had no idea when he would return. When informed that the report was cur- rent about the city that Mr. Hansen had left the city for good she did not seem to be at all ~surprised, but she said she thought he would not be likely to leave permanently without taking his family with him. Mr. Hansen has been considered a good workman and stood high in the estima- tion of contractors and mechanics, having been exceedingly prompt in meeting all bills. In this city he has executed many large contracte, one of the largest being the new Hign School carpenter work. His latest job has been a Government contract at the Presidio in San Francisco. Among the frequenters of the Building Hansen’s absence has created considerable talk and it is esti- mated that his indebredness is from §10,000 to $14,000. Report placed his bill to Burn- ham & Standeford planing-mill at $1800, but the manager there denies thisand says it is not_over $1000. Among other creditors in this city are the Pierce Hard- ware Company, P. N. Kuss, Brode the iron works man and Cohen the glazier; but the heaviest creditors are said to be the ma- terial men of San Francisco. Hansen was _seen in the Builders' Ex- change, San Francisco, last Wednesday, when he agreed to go to the bank and draw the necessary cash to pay certain bills presented at that time. Some two months ago he went off in a mysterious manner, but returned in about ten days, sayin. he had been to Southern California. Some of Lis creditors now express the opinion that he was reconnoitering so as to have a loca- tion when ready to take his departure. e o High School Alumni. The alumni association of the Commercial- and Polytechnic High School held its first regu- lar meeting last night in Native Sons’ Hall.

McKusick of Claremont, ana was only a little over 21 years of age. The funeral will take place to-morrow _at the McKusick family resi- dence on Webster street, between Clare- mont and College avenues. " Refused the Liquor. BERKELEY, CaL., March 30.—Mrs. Sil- vershield, who. keeps a confectionery-store on Telegraph avenue, denies the state- ment made that she has received any of the liquor, which was confiscated some months ago by Marshal Lloyd, from either the Marshal or his deputies. Mrs. Silver- shield refuses to state why she did not take the liquor back when it was offered to her on last Satuvday by the deputies, the advice of her attorneys. Electric Improvements.

It is very likely thata petition will be addressed to the Board of Trustees next month asking them to submit the question toa vote of the peo- ple at the coming election. It will be necessary to get the signatures of one-fifth to a petition. The Trustees will then, in obedience to the law, include in their elec- | tion proclamation a call upon tbe people %0 vote on the proposition. If two-thirds or more of all the votes cast are for re- incorporation the matter will be settied. The need of a local government for Livermore that has power to regulate and works more _.early realized than ever. One of the objections raised to reincor- poration is that the county Supervisors might put a license tax in incorporated towns, but Supervisor Bailey says that he does not think Livermore need fear that the county will try to put_any license tax oa incorporated towns. Such a thing has never yet been done in Alameda County and Mr. Bailey says he does not believe it ever would be done. £ Trustee A. W. Feidler.is unreservedly in favor of the town going forward one sle{v. He says the town has outgrown its old charter and should recognize that fact as soon as possible. Reuben Hunter is heartily favorable to the proposed move. ‘‘Weareaway behind the times,” he said. ‘‘Letusdisband alto- gether or else reincorporate. If we want prople to come and invest here we must show that we have some confidence in our- selves.” Madison Best declares thatif the town solute necessity. The majority of the business men and property-owners are in favor of the town going ahead, and it now locks as if Livermore, owing to its near- ness to Corral Hollow, will rapidly in- crease in importance. THE UNVERSTY HTHLETES They Will Go East From Berke- ley College Again This Summer. Mrs. Susan Harms Dies After a Brief Illness—The Confiscated Liquor Story. BERKELEY, Car., March 30.—Amid a this afternoon to send their track athletic team across the contineni again this sum- mer. The vote was unanimous. Not a dissenting voice was heard when President Friend called for the negative vote. The meeting was full of enthusiasm from beginniog to end and resembled much the meeting of one year ago. when the Berkeley collegians were called to- gether for a similar purpose—that of con- sidering the grnctica}zility and advisability of sending California athletes to compete on Eastern tracks. 5 Colonel George C. Edwards, commonly known as the ‘‘father of athletics” at the university was the first to speak in rela- followed by ex-track Captain Koch, Cap- tain Merwin, ex*Manager North and C. R. Morse, who spoke in favor of the proposed trip. (‘)’olonel Edwards_in his remarks said: «We all know the difficulties which sur- rounded us last year when we talked of sending the team East. Many said it was foolish to attempt to compete against such men as are found in the Big Four, but the results showed differently. The venture roved to be of the greatest possible good to athletics on tbis coast, especially at Berkeley. It is a well known fact that athletics here were on the decline last year and that something was needed to revive the interest. Such a thing was the East- ern trip. 1f the lack of interest had con- tinued for two years longer in the same ratio Stanford would have easily beaten us in the annual intercollegiate. “There has been some question as to whether the team this year is good enough to send. In reply to this I may say that last year at this time the prospects were not o favorable by a considerable differ- ence asthey are now. To send a team this year last year's success will be em- hasized, and then it cannot be said of us that the work of '95 wasonly a spurt. It behoves us to interest ourselves in this matter for our individual good, the good of the university and of the State.” Manager Friend spoke of the fincncial side of the question and assured the students that with their 5“]’%&:11 at the entertainments and benefits to be given in behalf of the team the necessary funds can be raised.

The western terminus is now at Fruitvale, but it will be | E extended to Alameda and will be at Park | street and the tidal canal. The tracks will | remain as they are and the wire carried on | 1ron brackets from a single line of poles. | Three large cars are being madeat Newark for this traffic especially, and each will have an electric motor of 125 horsepower, capable of hauling a very considerable train. Wheeler, superintendent of the line, | who has resigned his position and ex- pected to leave the road to-morrow, will remain a month longer, while the improve- ments and changes are being made. It is expected the road will do a big business this year in the way of picnics. It is believed by some that transforming this road into an electric line means its exten- sion, as it may readily be extended now, while as a steam road the cost and work would have been prohibitive. Traveling Tradesmen. ALAMEDA, Cavn., March 30.—Jerome D. Vosburgh, Nelson Nelson and William Krueger started on a wagon trip to Tuo- lumne County this morning in search of ;employment. They found that it would be cheaper to travel in a wagon than on the train, and they expect to pay their ex- penses of living on the way by doing whatever work that may be offered. Vos- burgh is a locksmith and the two others are plumbers. All are somewhat experi- enced in carpenter work. A tent and cooking outfit were carried. The men ex- pected to camp at Walnut Creek to-night. Municipal League Officers. ALAMEDA, CaL.. March 30.—F. H. Mec- Corm has been elected president of the Municipal Ownership League, Dr. E. 8. Clark vice-president and B. C. Brown sec- retary. The other members of the execu- tive committee are Green Majors, E. A. Van Schmidt, George E. Plummer, J.J. Tebin and Herman Krusi. A committee has been appointed to collect data regard- ing municipal ownership in other cities and to keep up_correspondence and ex- change information that will tend to help along the project of municipal ownership. Unfortunate Canines. ALAMEDA, Car., March 30.—Pound- master Joseph drowned twenty-four dogs of all pedigrees and conditions to-day. They had been impounded and nobody had” appeared to redeem them. Some seemed to be valuable animals and prob- ably were pets whose owners did not know of their bad predicament. The dog ordinance in Alameda is strictly enforced and the result is that the dog nuisance is very considerably abated. A Child Injured, ALAMEDA, CaL,, March 30.—The in- fant son of Henry von der Heyde in some manner this evening fell and received an ugly cut in the face. He was playing about a house adjoining the home of his parents at Encinal avenue and Walnut street and must have fallen. The wound was sewed up by a surgeon, and what created some excitement at first was soon quieted down. ELEPHANTS AND TIMBER Stolen by the Siamese Govern- ment From an American Missionary. LEFT HIS CLAIM TO HIS WIFE. It Has Been Administered Upen and Will Probably Be Paid After Arbitration. OARLAND OrricE SAN FrAxcIsco Cnu,} 908 Broadway, March 30. A unique estate has just been adminis- tered upon in the Supreme Court. Special letters were issued to-ddy to Mrs. Sarah Bradley Cheek upon the estate of her hus- band, Dr. M. A. Cheek, who died some time ago in Siam. The will was made at Bangkok,and the estate consists of a claim against the Government of Siam, which is stated as of unknown value.’ Many years ago Dr. Cheek went to Siam as an American medical missionary, and while there he saw an opportunity to make a profitable investment in the de- velopment of the timber trade of that country. He secured some valuable con- cessions in the teak timber country, some 500 miles up the river from Bangkok, and floated his logs down the river to the port in the rainy season. The project turned out to be very profitable, and one of the native princes announced that he would like to come into the business asa partner. Dr. Cheek had no particular desire fora royal partner, but he understood that the proposition was a polite intimation that there might trouble if he did not comply, so the partnership was agreed upon on condition that a certain number of logs were to be sent down each season and fie was to share the profits after the expenses were paid. Dr. Cheek did the active work and employea a large number of natives. He also owned 176 elephants. One season the river was so low that no timber was sent down. The Prince objected to this and although double the number of logs were sent down the next season the Prince professed to be aissatistied and assigned his interest to the Government. The Gov- ernment made the default in theshipment of logs a pretext for forfeiting the con- tract, which had then five years to run. The Government aiso confiscated Dr. Cheek’s elephants. The matter was taken in hand by the United States Minister, but had not been adjusted when Dr. Cheek died. 2 Dr. Cheek’s claim for $80,000 was referred to the United States Government at Wash- ington and approved for the full amount, and the Minister at Bangkok was instructed to request its payment. The Siamese Government is now anxious to have the matter submitted to arbitra- tion, Mrs. Cheek is a resident of Oakland, and about a year ago inaugurated the Chumrum society for voung women’s mu- tual improvement. Her sons are now at- tending the State University, and are also heirs under the terms of the will. NO SUCH OFFICE. Money Paid to a County Licen lector Should Be in the Treasury. OAKLAND, CAr., March 30.—Assistant Col- the full decision of the Supreme Court to the Board of Supervisors this afternoon 1n the matter of the License Tax Collector. It held that the Board of Supervisors had no more right to hire some one to collect license taxes at a certain compensation than they had to create an office and fix its salary, as it was only another name for doing the latter act; further, that it is the duty of the County Tax Collector to col- lect all taxes levied by the Board of Super- visors, and the court is directed to per- manently enjoin the Treasurer from pay- ing a salary to any one doing the work. The members of the board were advised that there was nothing left for them to do except to adopt a resolution rescinding the resolution adopted February 14, 1895, appointing J. W. Ballard to collect the license taxes, and also to adopt a resolu- tion directing the County Tax Collector to receive all license taxes. Atthe request of the board he prepared the resolutions and they were passed unanimously. County Tax Coliector Barker says that he is willing to receive any liquor license tax which may be Fresented to him at his office, but he will not specially employ men to look after the business. *‘The law says I shall receive the taxes and pay them into the treasury, and I am will- ing to do that with respect to such taxes as are brought to tbis office. Thelaw does not say that I shall go through the county to look into each case and see who is in arrears and who is not.” James W. Ballard, the deposed officer, says: ‘‘The collection of saloon licenses is an entirely different business from coilect- ing taxes on personal and real property. It has always required special work, as agement of these saloons at all times, and the holders of licenses have to be watched to make them keep their payments up. If they do not pay promptly, but continue in business, they are violating the license law; but such a violation cannot be de- tected by a man who remains in his office all the time. Who will now see that liquor is not sold without « license? The constables and their deputies won't, as there is nothing in it for them.'’ Sailing of the Gadney. ALAMEDA, Car, March 30.—The United States survey steamer Gedney steamed out of the estuary this forenoon . and went to San Francisco, where she is to await orders, - KNIGHTS OF HONOR.
