Moreal’s office, San- ford Bennett in the chair. Asregards the circular speed track not much progress was achieved. J. L. Borden had heen pre- vented from getting estimates asto the cost of the track owing to the inclement weather. Considerable doubt was ex- ressed as to the feasibility of going on urther with the work until some definite arrangements in writing had been made with the Southern Pacific Company, guar- anteeing the use of the track. The locality also met with disapproval, as it is claimed to be toolow and wet. It was resolved in the end to construct a mile track on the highest land obtainable, even if its use can only be got for this season. Testimonial Concert.

WANTS Y THOUSMD The Widow of “Postal Card Cooper” to Sue the Southern Pacific. The Victim Was One of Three Who et Death Owinz o a Train- Dispatcher’s Error. OAKR1LAND OFFICE SAN FraNcisco CALL,) 908 Broadway, April 27. | Mrs. J. P. Cooper, widow of “Postal Card Cooper,” who was killed when Train- Dispatcher Sims sent two trains into each other in the Altamont tunnel nearly six- teen months ago, will sue the Southern Pacific for damages. Her attorney was at the Courthouse and around town to-day gathering evidence on which to base the complaint and he will probably sue for $50,000, The blunder of the dispatcher, who was shown at the inquest to have been greatly overworked, caused the loss of threee lives. They were Henry Schramm, the fireman, Henry G. Hubbard, the engineer, and J. P. Cooper, who was being given a passage in return for shoveling coal, and who was regarded asa tramp. The com- pany settled with the families of the em- loyes, but Mrs. Cooper’s appeals for aid have been rejected and she has now deter- mined to resort to the courts for redress for the killing of her husband. The Coroner’s jury, after hearing the evidence, brought in the following ver- dict: “We find that the deceased came to their death in the Altamont tunnel from injuries received as the result of a collision between two trains caused by a mistake in giving orders by C. R. Sims, train-dispatcher for the Southern Pacific Cempany.’’ “Mrs. Cooper has waited long enough “Postal Card” Cooper, Whose Widow Will Sue for $50,000. [From a photograph.] for the company to make some sort of recompense,’”’ said Attorney Mitchell to- day, “*but it has not done so, 50 she has de- cided to bringsnit. There is no doubt as to the responsibility of the accident, but the company will, of course, argue that Cooper had no right to be there. This is not good law, and hundreds oi cases can be cited favorable to the suit brought by his wife. Although he had not a ticket, he was on the train really as an employe of the com- pany, as he had agreed to give his services in return for his passage. There is not the least doubt s to the cause of the fatality, and the only difficulty will be to prove that Cooper was working his passage ana was not_beating his way as an ordinary tramp. Mrs. Cooper is éntirely destitute, and has so far not been able to recover anything.” Was It Suicide? LIVERMORE, CAr., April 27.—The death of an unknown tramp Saturda irom the effects of wounds received Fri- day evening has started many theories. He was_struck by the train and thrown from the track, but the wheels did not touch him. His four companions say it was an accident, but many believe that the five wet and hungry tramps made {t up among themselves to rush before the train in a punch and end their rciserable existence, but that only one had the nerve to carry out the plan. cal economy. The club is determined to boom the question during the coming month by means of parlor meetings, camp-meetings and socials, besides taking up publications on the question and discussing them. The first book to be thus treated is “Ten Men of Money Island” and Mrs. Storey and Mrs. Paxton were appointed to arrange for the same. A coniention arose as to whether it is the ladies or the gentlemen who require educating on the question of political Fruitgrowers to Organize. LIVERMORE, Cavn., April 27.—A call has been issued for a meeting of vineyard- ists and fruitmen at the town hall next Saturday at 1 7. . The object is to or- ganize a growers' association to assist in educating all in the art of fighting frost with smoke, and also as a business propo- sition to enable the co-operative farmers to get better freight rates, and to buy sul- phar, stakes, boxes, bottles, and all other supplies at reduced prices.

Oakes : and George Baxter were named to prepare a plan of organization. Rev, C. W. Wendte and Miss Abbie Grant, Who Will Be Married in Oakland To-Day. the First Unitarian Church of Oakland for several years, and is one of the foremost divines on the coast. For many years Dr. Wendte has been living with his mother in this city, and much surprise was ex- pressed when his engagement was an- nounced. He is several years older than the bride-elect, and was long looked upon as ‘‘the bachelor clergyman” of Oakland. Miss Grant is one of the leading mem- bers of the First Uniterian Church and has always been prominent in the social work of that religious organization. She is a prominent member of Oakland’s so- ciety circles and has hundreds of friends and acquaintances who are somewhat dis:. appointed at not being accorded the priv- ilege of attending a pretty church wed- ding. The bride’s family is one of the oldest in Alameda County. Her father is a pioneer and has amassed a fortune. He is'one of the leading spirits of the church and for anumber of years has been one of the trustees. Dr. Wendte isan able lectureron art and has traveled extensively. Miss Grant is also a student and an artist. She is ad- charms and good qualities. A In explanation of having a private wed- ding, Miss Grant said that on account of Dr. Wendte’s position the wedding would either have to be a very swell, formal affair or a very quiet home wedding. At her request there will be none but the plainest of ceremony and no bridesmaids. N TRAINING QUARTERS, Bérkeley Athletes Will Observe Strict Rules for Dieting and Exercise. Juniors Propose a New College Cele- bration—Summer-School of Chemistry. BERKELEY, Cavn, April 27. — The athietes of the State University have taken material measures to improve their condition before the big mest next Satur- day, and through these measures they hope to secure a more firm grasp on the honors which almost slipped from them in the contest with Stanford Saturday afternoon. They took a regular, pre- scribed course of gymnasium work this afternoon, and to-night they ate their first ‘meal at the training table, which had been prepared for them to-day. Assoon as practicable they will go into regular training quarters and subject themselves to stringent rules for athletes. Athletes of wide experience say that the work of the U. C. men last” Saturday clearly indicsted the need of systematic gymnasium work. Heeding this advice, most of them have gone to work with the chestweights and dumbbells. Those who will take advantage of the trainin% table and quarters are: Merwin, Kocn, Torrey, Magee, Carroll, Brown, Jackson, Holton, Cushing, Mumma, Miller and Dorn. New College Celebration. BERKELEY, (AL, April 27.—The State University class of ’'07 is considering a new phase of the year’s celebration in the way of a jollification over the advance- ment of members of the class bevond drill work. The '97 men will be seniors next year, and as such will not be compelled todrill. Itis proposed by some of the class that a celebration be got up similar to the freshman Bourdon ceremonies, the central feature of the affair to be funeral rites over the much-hated military suit. It has been suggested that the burial be held at night and that an elaborate pro- cession be added. 1f the plans of those advocating the scheme are adopted there will be a big turnout of the class and 97 will purchase from ’99 the fireworks which the latter bought for Bourdon, but had no opportunity to use.

Having Been Invited to a Debate He Was Refused the Privilege cf Speaking. OARLAND OFFICE SAN FrANcI=co CALL, 908 Broadway, April 27. George Schwartz, a local debater of economic questions, has a grievance against the Socialistic Labor party of San Francisco. Last week he was invited by the propaganda committee to hold a pub- lic debate last night with a member of the party in San Francisco. When he arrived there sentiment had changed and he was not permitted to speak. As he showed no inclination to be shut off after baving been invited the chairman turned off the gas and the meeting broke up in a row. “I received this invitation,” said Schwartz to-day, “and went to fillit. It asked me to meet William Edlin at the hall, 945 Folsom street, and debate social- ism. I was to take the negative and here is the programme about the distribution of time, fwent to the hall last night and was told I was not wanted. I did not understand why I was insulted and dempanded a hearing. I produced my in- vitation from the propaganda committee that has charge of all these things and read the terms, but they did not want to listen. Some of the audience took my part and demanded that the debate proceed, but they were in the minority. “Finally the chairman told me to get off the platform and that I could not speak. I protested, and the mealing broke up into a row and came aearly being a free fight. When the disturbance was at its height the chairman turned off the gas and the hall was cleared. This morning I received a postal announcing that the pro- gramme had been changed and thatthe invitation wes canceled. It was mailed Saturday evening, and they knew it could not reach me in time. “The whole affair is an outrage and 1 in- tend todemand satisfaction. I'am certain the whole affair was intended as an insult, and I am not going to rest under it. will have satisfaction and will not rest until my honor is vindicated. The secona postal was not mailed until it was known that it was too late for it to reach me. My views on socialism do not agree with theirs, but that isno reason why I should be humiliated.” Victim of the Blairmore. OAKLAND, Car., April 27.—An inquest was held to-night on the remains of P. Renebaum, the sailmaker of the British ship Blairmore that capsized in the bay. Captain Caw of the ill-fated ship testilied and told briefly the story of the disaster, as already pnblished. Hamilton Bell, one of the apprentices, said the sailmaker was working in the sail locker when the ship went over, and it is very likely that he had managed to get out of the door before he was drowned, and that would account for his body drifting down the bay. The captain and apprentice fully identi- fied the remains, and the jury returned a verdict that tte deceased came by his death through drowning, as the result of the accident to the Blairmore. To-morrow all the survivors of the Blair- more will attend the funeral of the sail- maker. The interment will be at Moun- tain View. Will Not Reply. OAKLAND, Cawn., April 27.—Mayor J. L. Davie and County Clerk Frank C. Jordan, in ‘fienkmg of Father Yorke's at- tacks upon them last night, both say that the facts upon which he made his asser- tions had been misrepresented to him evidently, and as a consequence they had nothing to say in reply. Father Mc{'nuy of this city has coramended the remarks of Clerk Jordan as broad minded, and re- marked that if such was the Lelicf of the order he could say nothing against it. ——————— Any man may rise in the world if he starts low enough. CHURCH USED A WRONG BLANK, The Recent San Leandro School Bond Election Is Void. POLLS OPENED TOO LATE Voters Not Given thé Legal Four Hours to Record Their Choice. GOOD WORK EASILY SPOILED. Another Election Must Be Held to Make the Bonds of Any Value. SAN LEANDRO, Cav., April 27.—A little informality that has just occurred proves how easily an issue of bonds may be in- validated. The recent election in the union school district for bonds is invalid and proceed- ings will have to be instituted at once to call a new election. The whole difficulty is due to the fact that the Deputy District Attorney took up a wrong blank when preparing advice for the Trustees. ‘When it was decided to hold an election to determine whether the district should issue pbends for erecting a a new building and furnishing it, the Trustees sent to the District Attorney asking him that his office should take charge of the legal busi- ness ana see that everything was done according to law, as they did not under- stand how to preveed. Mr. Church was detailed for the work and followed the work most carefully, scanning every pa- per, order and notice made by the Trus- tees. As he left them the night before the election he cautioned the board to be sure to keep the polls open until sundown the next day. When the election was over Mr. Church came down and drew up the necessary pa- pers to declare the result and submit them to the Supervisors. To-day he appeared before the Board of Supervisors in Oak- land and advised them that owing to the fact that the polls had only been kept open from 2 to sundown it was in direct violation of the law, which requires that the polls shall be open four hours. He then advised them to refuse to accept the returns, and said that he would have the Trustees call a new election. Assistant District Attorney Lincoln S. Church, in speaking of the subject to- nignt, said: ““The joke is on me. Itook the greatest care to see that all proceedings were regu- lar, advising the board at every action. In making out forms for them I used printed ones 1 found in_the office, and it was not until I was making out the returns to the Board of Supervisors that I found I had used some old blanks instead of the ones in use under the present law. The old law requires the poils to be kept open from 2 o’clock to sunset, but the new law requires that they be kept open at least four hours and close at sunset. “The Supreme Court has decided (54 Cal.) that failing to keep the polls open the required length of time is sufficient cause to invalidate a school-bond election, bence it will be necessary to begin all pro- ceedings over again. The cost is only aboui §12, but it puts me in a bad light. I'll stay away this time and see if they can’t do better without any advice from our office.”” HISTORY OF A DAY, Alameda County Happenings Told in Brief Chapters, OARLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CA'LL.‘ 908 Broadway, April 27.
