MAY SHOOT ONCE MORE, Some Talk Over the Recent Police Match Across the Bay. An Oakland Officer Answers Some Charges Which Were | OAKLAND, Car.,, March 31.—There is | war between the Oakland and San Fran- | cisco police derartments, and it is all over | a story ihat appeared in to-day’s CALL. Several statements made by members of the San Francisco force are denied by the Oakland men and there is no doubt that | the butts at Shell Mound will soon witness | another match between the bobbies. “Whoever supplied those facts across the bay did not know what he was zmkingJ about,” said Detective Nick Williams to- | night. *“The trouble is all caused by the | | south-of-Market-street squad because they were not in the match. They are trying to ndicule Captain Wittman’s team, but we are just as ready to meet another team | | from the other division. It says that four of our team were in the Carson Guards at the time they were beaten by the old-\ timers, with whom was Captain Douglass. | This is false, not one of our team | | having ever been in the Carson Guard. Then it goes on to say that | the old-timers P. D. Linville, Charley h, Harry Hook, Nels and Andy Field, Bixley, George Gan, Cailleau, E. C. Wells, ane, Bodwell, Hiram A. Robinson, | John Glanz, Bailey, Clark, Oaks Erskine and the old veteran Captain Douglass were never beaten. This is not so. About thirteen years ago a team from the Pacific Rifle Club consisting of shots from both sides of the bay beat them atShell Mound. Myseli, Colonel McKillican and Sheldon I. Kellogg of this City were in the Pacific | team and we beat the old-timers at 200 and | 500 yards, ten shots apiece. On that occa- | sion the boys were so badly beaten that Captain Douglass felt pretty bad. | Again, they said that we are all trained | match men. With the exception of Dave | Swain and myself, notone of our team ever shotin a match in his life, and some of them were five points shy ot what they vays accomplish at practice. We are n thai the men we shot against, in- | wiing Captain Wittman, are, every one of them, perfect gentlemen. They took their defeat with the best of good feeling, and we are sure they are not doing the baby act now.” BEAT THE CHINESE DOG.

Logan Figure in an Exciting Scene on Broadway. 908 Broaawa, The Chinese dog on Broadway created 8 | sensation to-day, and had it not been for | Officer Moore there would either have | been a Chinaman in the Receiving Hos- pital or a dead dog on the sidewalk. For a long time there has been a vag- rant cur on Broadway whose special ob- ject1n life seems to be to annoy Chinese. There is no doubt that the dog has been “sicked” on the queue-wearers by the | street zamins for some time past, and now the animal is pretty well trained. On many occasions the dog has worried the Chinese, and the policeman on the beat has frequently been called upon to protect the objects of the canine’s wrath, | This afternoon a Chinese named Ah Quong was passing Ninth street when the dog attacked him.

The dog has been a nuisance for months and is a terror to every Chinaman that he sees.

PRIMARIES DEMANDED. Alameda Republicans Will Meet To- Night and Oppose the Appoint- ment Plan. ALAMEDA. CaL., April L—A President of the United States will be elected by the Republican Club of this city to-night. The members of the club are so eager for a chance to get at the polls again that they cannot control their enthusiasm, and that is why a mock election has been ordered. Every man whose name is on the roll will be permitted to cast one ballot, on the good old straight vlan that was in vogue before the Australians landed here with their blanket ballot system. Mec- Kinley is apgsrenfly a favorite candidate with the Alameda Republicans, Other leading candidates are Benator Perkins, Governor Morton, Reed and John Sher- man. Itis suggested that, as the club has a large membership and is made up largely of men having an exceptionullpy ood knowledge of National political airs, the result of the balloting will be a strong suggestion of the Republican sentiment of California. A matter to be considered by the club at the same meeting, and which is regarded as of more immediate importance than the election, is the question of holding prim- aries. Many of the Republicans are anx- ious that the primaries be held. Conter- ence committees have been appointed, and Miss Myra Mylotte, Oakland’s Charity Club-Swinger, Who Led Yesterday’s Rebel- lion at the Young Woman’s Christian Association Home. [From @ photograph.] | made most miserable by those who are supposed to be our protectors, and finally four of us left there this morning and have secured quarters elsewhere. What is more there are others there who will follow us in a short time.” Thus spoke one of the four when seen by a reporter to-day. She wasin a highly indignant frame of mind regarding the way in which she had been treated. “Tnen upon ali the other things,” she continued, “it has been told about that we were charity boarders. The idea! We have paid our board ever since we went there, and paid well. Itis a pice place to | live, but when you pay your bilis you | expect to be allowed some rivileges.” It is not atyall likely I wouhfpublish any- thing about a place where I was living, is it? The management is such as to require an overhauling. Our former matron had a daughter and knew how to treat girls. The present matron has very peculiar views, to say the least, regarding the sub- ject.” ; The trouble in the home has caused a division among the lady managers. Said one of them to-day: “The girls came be- fore us with their complaints as a sort of a trial court and expected to secure some kind of justice. Instead they were ex- pelled without any reference to what others had done, which the girls them- | selves admitted was even worse. Wh tha Fabiola nurses were even told to leave the room while the others were expelled, but tiiey left immediately after because they were equally guilty with the others. “That appeared to irritate certain ones, | and these last four who left to-day were made to feel that they were not wanted. I know life was made miserable for them, and can only rejoice to know that they have left there. “‘The whole story has not yet been told, and when it is there will be a scandal that will stir things to the yery center. I fear it would be the downfall of the home or I would tell it now. Iam in the minority, however, and must await developments, There have been nine girls who have left the home since the trouble started, and others are to follow. I know of four who have refused to enter since the trouble | arose, and others will hesitate to go there until it is settled. Mrs. Anson Barstow, treasurer of the association, thinks the whole thing has been given too much publicity for a sub- ject that only affects the people who board m'zdhe home. When seen last night she said: “The whole affair makes me laugh. Some time ago one of the girls had some company, and the matron, not knowing it, turned the gas out in the hall at 10 o’clock, a rule all boarders know is strictly fol- lowed. When the young man started to leave both were surprised to find them- | The directors sat one selves in dark balls. night until 2 o’clock in the morning listen- ing to a string of such complaints, but decided that the boarders had nothing to complain of. *Miss Reta Mylott left this morning, taking a number of the girls with her. Her sister went, as she deemed it necessary so as 1o keep an eye on tue younger sister. Miss Mylott 1s a young, pretty and ex- ng, ceedingly bright girl, nng has been the pet | of the Home ever since it was opened. She says she leaves because people outside say the Home is a charity institution, but it 1s not, as all must pay thei: share. Like other young people, full of life, she wants excitement. Her sister, on the other hand, did not want to leave, but was forced to do so that her sister should be protected. Some time ago the girls petitioned the directors to allow them to dance and play cards in the home cccasionally, but it was refused, for fear that some of the Christian ladies who are patrons of the home might be offended. e will getinas many as leave, but we are sorry to lose those we have. Especially is this true regarding Miss Mylott, who is a general favorite with all, as she is a leader among the girls in keeping things moving.” The Misses Mylott were quite indignant to think any one should say they left for any reason except that, with others, they were made to feel most uncomfortable. Miss Reta said: “I left because things were being made very uncomfortable, and | efforts will be made to have the primaries “ on Saturday of next week. “We should by all _means hold pri- | maries,” said Captain E. A. von Schmidt | to-day, “and not permit the committee to | appoint a few men to represent us. If it | is necessary we will send a contestin, | ezation to Sacramento, but we will en- deavor to bring about a reconsideration of the action in the committee.” City Attorney Taylor is a member of the Congressional ‘committee.

His Honor Makes Some Pointed Re- marks on the Financial Ability of His Fellow Officials, OAKLAND OrrFicE 8ax FRrANcIsco CALL'} 908 Broadway, April 1. “There is so much money in every fund from the dollar limit that some of the city officials are risking their necks in their efforts to spend it and throw discredit on my figures,” said the Mayor to-day. The cause of Mr. Davie's remark was the opening of bids last night for puttinga new ventilator system in the old High School. The bids ranged from $6526 to $3600, and the Mayor considers it just so much money thrown away. More than that, he says that politics are at the bot- tom of the new ventilating scheme and that the work is not necessary. The city expert recently prepared a statement of the city finances, which showed clearly that there is more money left to run the city for the second half of the fiscal year than was used in the first six months. The figures show that $349,- 300 has been spent and $376,912 remained. Now, this proves that the dollar limit is enough to run toe city if a reasonable supervision is exercised over the various departments,” said the Mayor. “Now, it is positively funny. Of course it is not to ve thought of for a moment that a Popu- list Mayor is to be permitted by a hetero- geneous mass of politicians, most of them mcarnble offlice-holders, to run the city on a dollar limit without a deficit. They will makea deficit or die in the attempt. At present they do not know which way to turn to avoid a surplus. The ventilation of the old High School is justa sample. It will waste about $6000 that was not in the esti- mate, but of course it will go. ‘“Last night another absurd matter cropped up at the board meeting that shows how stupidly the affairs of this city are conducted. Bids were received for workbenches for the Manual Training School. Now, what in the world is being done in the present Manual Training School? Would it not surely be a com- mon-sense business proposition for the boys to make these benches? The present methods are childish in the extreme. Here the Board of Works advertises for §$24 15 each. Any person with sense would recommend that the pupils make them. There are all the necessary tools on hand and a few dollars’ worth of lumber is all that is required. “April is now here and no schools or reading rooms have yet been closed, as was predicted six months ago. The cit never has been so economically governed, and there is no argument that can be raised against the doliar limit. Butthere is money on band now and of course it must be spent. How, matters not, so long as Davie's financeering is belittled.” STRIKE OF A DAY.

We have no non-union men to contend with, so every lather in the coun- ty is a member of our union. Our new schedule of wages raises them on this side of the bay to an equal footing with those in San Francisco. Prospects are good for lots of work this summer, and with fair prices we will get along finely. The largest job on this side .of the bay now is at the racetrack, and William Watson, the con- tractor, has already agreed to our new schedule. The Buiiders’ Exchanges here and in San Francisco report that more plans are being figured on this spring than at any other time in the past three years.
