THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, MAY 9, 1896. 13 BOREAS ENTERS INTO POLITICS. Gives the First Real Blow to the Dollar Tax L imit. NO SPRINKLING CARTS. General Wreck of Signs, Stands, Awnings and Everything Movable. COURTHOUSE CHIMNEY ROCKS. The Air Was Full of Dust and Rub- bish, and Economy Was Not in Favor. OAxLAND OrricE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, 908 Broadway, May 8. } The wind whistled in Oakland to-day, but contrary to all former high winds this one had a particular -political signifi- cance. It is well known that politics dominate everywhere in this city from the purchase of municipal lead pencils to the water- front suit, but this is the first time that Boreas has come to the aid of any one party in a political campaign and the dol- lar-tax limit received its first black eye. All through the day the streets were practically “out of sight.”” Dust, posters, rubbish, signboards, wrecks of awnings and other things having a tendency to blind people and cause them to imperil their souls filled the air, but not a sprink- ling cart was in sight. The ordinary citizen would not have cared had the tax levy been $1 or 1 cent. The elderly gentlemen and their wives would have signed a petition for it to be increased to doliars. The bloomer girl on her wheel would not have cared had the levy bankrupted her sire if only a surplus would thereby be created to pay for a few sprinkling carts. The merchants, anxious as many of them are to possess real estate, would rather have sacrificed a few cents per centum than put up with the amount of realty that spread itself all over their stores and played havoc with fine goods and finer features, thereby keeping their customers at home. The Non-Partisan members of the Coun- cil danced a war quadrille, the Mayor looked somewhat despondent, and the people on the streets spent their time about equally between chasing their hats and paying their respects to the dollar tax limit. When the many patrons of the daily papers looked on their porchesand dis covered that their news budgets were in the next vacant lot, they almost wished that the solid nine was in power again and every ward heeler enthroned on a sprinkling-cart. On Broadway the only reliefs to the clouds of dust were the numerous hats and other articles that were flying through the air. At Eleventh and Broadway a lady was hit by a flying sign this after- noon and injured, but not seriously. Su- perintendent of Schools McClymonds was forced to walk eix blocks after a cable-car had churned his silk tile to pieces. After noon, when it became apparent that the clouds of dust were liable to cause an accident at the junction of San Pablo avenue, Telegra -h avenue and New Broadway, where three car systems cross, a solitary cart made its appearance and travel was somewhat safer. It was certainly the heaviest wind expe- rienced here this season and the most un- pleasant day Oaklanders have known. The old courthouse chimney that has been swaying to and fro in the wind for years was the cause of much uneasiness to-day. The County Clerk called the Fire ‘Warden and some additional guys were ordered to be attached to the tottering | flue. Summer Conference. OAKLAND, CaL., May 8.—Tbe Young ‘Women’s Christian sociation will hold its first summer conference at Mills Col- lege for ten days, from June 5. There will be missionary conferences with workers from the foreign field and addresses by &rominent speakers and Bible studies. iss Emma Reeder, 735 Market street, San Francisco, or Miss Wilson of the inter- national office, 126 State street, Chicago, 111, will answer all inquiries. Mrs. C. T. Mills, president of Mills College, will also give any desired information. Pushing Forward.

Sheclsims to be from the West Oakland Home, the Temiscal Children’s Home and the Finch Orphanage.

Follows the Fad. OAKLAND, Car., May 8.—The latest addition to the mysterious disappearance colony from thiscity is John Scott, the well- known Acme wheelman. He started for San Francisco a week ago Wednesday and bas not been seen since. His landlady re- ceived anote in the evening of that day purporting to be from him saying he woula he away several weeks.

Behan of she qualified. A March Stolen Unexpectedly on the City Authorities of Alameda. Lots Sold for a Delinquent Assess. ment—Brotherhood of Andrew and Phillip. ALAMEDA, Can., May 8.—When the hole dug at the southeast corner of Clem- ent avenue and Chestnut street was filled in by Mr. Delanoy’s forces, it was sur- mised that the project bad been volun- tarily abandoned by the Delanoy-Lloyd- Fort Wayne Company. Asthe day wore | on, however, the reason became apparent. The hole was in ths wrong place. New hoies were sunk, and early in the afternoon three poles were erected and a wire stretched. There are nine men at work at present shaving and cleaning the totems which originally did service at the Mid- | winter Fair. _ Lanterns are to be affixed to the masts to-night and a watchman em- ployed to prevent their being removed. Lincoln Avenue. ALAMEDA, Car, May 8.—The cele- brated Lincoln avenue occupied the atten- tion of the Street Superintendent for g, few minutes this morhing, when a number of the 102 parcels of Jand includad in the dis- trict to be benefited ny the opening were to have been sold. Scarcely any one was present and only two lots were disposed of. G. L. Birkmaier's lot was sold to School Buperintendent Sullivan for $66 65 and one of Mrs. Cohen’s was obtained by C. H. Tebbs for $28 85. The sale was tuen con- tinued nntil to-morrow. The total assess- ments delinquent amount to about $6000. The irjunction suit that Judge Greene dis- solved yesterday was the third one insti- tuted to prevent dealing with the prop- erty. The first one was defeated through Cohen lobbying a bill through the Legis- lature repealing part of the law favorable tothe city, and the second was lost through a technicality. Erotherhood Dinner. ALAMEDA, CaL., May 8.—The Brother- hood of Andrew and Philip, in connection with the First Congregational Church,gave a dinner this evening to their friends and members. In all some fifty gentlemen responded to the invitation, and as the Ladies’ Aid Society had charge of the din- ner it was served in first-class style. George W.Bcott occupied the chair, and after grace was said and the doxolgy sung the viands were attacked. Then followed words of welcome from Rev. W. W. Scud- der Jr., pastor of the church. The follow- ing was the programme of the evening exercises: Words of welcome, W. W. Scudder Jr.; even- ing theme, “A Practical Chrisiisnity and the Solution It Offers for Modern Problems.” The fundamental law of Christ: “Self | rifice” for the kingdom of God vs. Sac- g “gelf Interest,” Rev.

Business Change: ALAMEDA, Car.,, May 8.—Two of the largest drygoods firms on Park street have decided on a charge of location. N. Swrauss & Co., who have occupied the store at the corner of Santa Clara avenue and Park street for the past eight years, have decided to go to Los Angeles and oven there. R. A. Kickett, on the postoffice block, has sold out his business to E. Rosenthal, Sixth street, San Francisco. A Correction.

West End B:rkeley Republicans. Eminent Suffragists to Speak in Public Shortly. BERKELEY, OAL., May 8.—Berkeley’s flower show opened this morning at Shat- tuck Hall, and an exhibition of more rare and highly cultured blooms, especially roses and pelargoniums, has been seldom seen. The large hall was completely fifled with exhibits of the most select sort, and those who are prominently connected with the displaying of Berkeley’s beauti- ful flowers say that the show will prove to be eminently more successful than the one held last year. Several of the exhibitors have come from San Francisco with their contributions, and the interest generally is widespread. La France and Cecil Bruner roses, beside Shirley poppies, be- gonias, pelargoniums and pansies were greatly in evidence. A throng of visitors continued to pour into the hall throughout the day, but to- night the building was fairly crowded with a galaxy of youngand fair maidens, who had come to see the display and to listen to the musical prozramme. The show will continue all day to-morrow and until 10 o’clock in the evening. Just within the entrance to the hall stands a huge jar of Shirley poppies, ex- hibited by Mrs. Frank Wilson of Scenic Park, and on a table furtber in the room is an extraordinary large display of mam- moth marguerites. Miss Bolton has a large vase of poppies, and Miss Goldstein of San Francisco offers an extensive display of pansies raised by her own hand. Perhaps the most strik- ing exhibitin the building is that of J. F. Sims, an amateur, which consists of the choicest varieties of roses and pelargo- niums. An entire side of the room is taken up with his display. The Peralta Park residents have a large bahk of peiargorni- ums on exhibition, and Dr. Wellendorf's name may be seen on several vases of large La France roses. Hutchinson & San- born of Oakland have also an extensive display of cut flowers of various sorts and potted plants. In Readiness for Class Day. BERKELEY, CaL., May 8.—Great prep- arations are being made by the senior class of the State University of California for their class-day exercises, which will be held to-morrow, a complete programme of which appeared in this morning’s issue of THe CALL. They say that the pro- gramme outlined will be carried out to the letter, notwithstanding the fact that to-day has been windy and threatening. The fraternity houses, at which guests | will be received at luncheon, arexb i decorated and put in order in preparation for the greatest day of festivity in all the college year. To-morrow being the day of transition for the various classes, battered lugs, smashed canes and torn mortar- ards will doubtless be very much in evi- dence, according to the traditional custom of coliegians to dishevel the headgear of he classmen below them on class day. The central feature in the exercises of the day wilt be the performance in the amphitheater back of the chemistry build- ing at 3 o’clock in the afternoon. n the evening the glee club will give file;lr final concert of the term at Stiles all. 98" on Goat Island. BERKELEY, CAL,, May 8.—As a pre- cursor of the class performances which will take place to-morrow at the univer- sity, and asa sign of victory, some un- known members of the sophomore class inscribed with whitewash a huge '*’98" on the eastern slope of Goat Island last night. The right to glnce their class number wherever they choose is not disputed by the freshmen, as they have been defeated by the ‘‘sophs” in every rush and other contest in which the two classes have been pitted. On account of their prowess and abso- lute predominence over the freshmen the sophomores, who will become juniors to- morrow, will be permitted to wear “‘skull and cross bones’ on their white plugs. The class of '98 will be.the first class in many years which has the just right to wear this emblem of bravery. West End Republicans. BERKELEY, CAn, May 9.—An im- portant meeting of the West Berkeley Pro- gressive Club was held last evening, at which the issues of the coming si- dential campaign were discussed at length. Charles Spear spoke at length on the tariff and financial questions and urged the club members to {amiliarize themselves with readiness to appear in the coming cam- paign processions. Will Open Their Church. BERKELEY, CALn., May 8.—Prepara- tions on an elaborate scale are being made by the South Berkeley Presbyterians for the formal opening of their new church building next Sunday. The programme of exercises has not yet been announced. e e SUIT COMPROMISED. The Long . Pending Breach of Promise Case Dis- missed. QAKLAND, CaL., May 8.—The sunit of Miss Carrie Lockyear of Berkeley against John F. Hayes for breach of promise was dismissed to-day.

Try to Qvercome an Ordinance. CANNOT SEE THE TICKET MAN Chief Lloyd Is Doing Some Thinking. Result of a Former Thought. QARLAND OFFICE SAN FRrAXCISCO CALL, 508 Broadway, May 8. Big Jim, the lottery king from across the bay, has paid many thousands of dollars into the city treasury for fines for his agents here since Chief of Police Lloyd took office. He has become tired of it,and in casting around for possibie relief he has devised a plan that is at least ingenious, though it is not proof against law and order. The main point brought out by the prosecution has been that of identifica- tion. The purchaser has always been able to swear positively that the Chinaman in the dock was the actual seller of the ticket. This conclusive testimony has been very expensive to the lottery men, and they have directed all their energies toward finding a scheme to offset it. They were rejoicing that they had found it, when they were suddeniy disappointed. A few days sgo the many gambling joints were all provided with very heavily built partitions. Behind this partition sits the man who sells the tickets. In the par- tition is a hole just large enough for a man’s hand to pass through. A Chinaman sits between the entrance and the partition and asks the prospective purchaser what is wanted. A little con- versation follows and then a hand is poked through the hole with the desired number of tickets in it, and is not withdrawn until the money is placed in the yellow palm. This plan has worked like a charm. The purchaser could not see from whom he purchased the ticket, and consequently could not identify him. cumstances a successful prosecution would be impossible, and so the customary ar- rests have fallen off of late. Last night the scheme nearly came to a sudden end. A private detective went to made every conceivable effort to avoid coming to trial, but to no avail, as all ———— | ~ | o ; ol v ——t pi i BnE a joint on Eighth street, between Broad- way and Washington.

The Frui tvale Rose Company is now giving its exhibition at the nursery on Fruitvale ave- nue. It will continue until’ and inclading to- mMOTrow. The deputies in the County Clerk’s office are kept hard at work these days writing up the certiticates of reregistration on file, which number about 1400.

Bat no money was put in it. Instead, a handcuff was very deftly placed around the wrist by the detective. There was a loud howl, and, although the detective buug on with all his strength to the com- panion handcuff, he could not hold his own. Probably not less than half a dozen hands were pulling on the inside, and the other cuff was jerked out of the detective’s hand. A few seconds later the handcuffs were pushed through the hole, and, after the slide was let down, the outside sentinel announced that business for the day was over. The partitions are made particularly strong, and even should a posse of police raid one of the protected 3?"“! they are so strongly built that there would be ample time for the ticket-seller to escape before an entrance could be effected. “I am doing a little thinking,” eaid Chief Lloyd to-day, “and do not care to tzllin advance what may be done.” A few weeks ago Chief Lloyd did some thinking, and a few nights later forty Chinamen were landed in the City Prison, and Big Jim bad to produce nearly $1500 to procure their license.

OAKLAND, Car., May 8—This after- noon Mayor Davle took a force of four men and went to the Eighth-street bridge to repair it and 1o remove the fence placed there yesterday by Street Superin- tendent Miller. ‘When the bridge was reached, his Honor and the four men crawled underneath to hunt for decayed stringers, and wherever one was located the men removed the plankins and nailed a new plank on each side of the rotten timber.
