THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, MAY 12, 1896. 13 ‘SHAKE HANDS ALL ROUND, Rev. Dr. Wendte Heals Differ- ences Between Two Hu- mane Societies. JOHENS SPOKE FOR HIMSELF. His Criticisms Did Not Represent the Views of the Other Direc- s tors. OARLAND OFFICE SAN Fraxcrsco CALL,) 908 Broadway, May 11 Harmony again prevails between the California Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children and the Alameda County Society for the Preventicn of Cru- elty to Animals. Discord was created by some utterances credited to Attorney C. T. Johns, and peace has been bpought about by the intervention of Rev. Dr. . Wendte. For a long time the opinion has pre- . vailed that the two societies were at vari- ance, but the facts only became public to- day. Mrs. Lydia A. Prescott, formerly matron of the Chabot Home, is the secretary of the children’s society, and Mrs. Sarah Sanford, wife of County Treasurer Sanford, is the secretary of the animal society. Both societies occupy the same office in the Central Bank building and everything went on smoothly until the arrest of old man Clark in East Oakland, who was ac- cused of serious crimes, gleaned from the stories of little girls who were visitors to his home. Rev. Mr. Ellis of the Centennial Presby- terian Church espoused the cause of Clark, whose name is on his church roll. Mr. Ellis fought hard for Clark and made all sorts of charges of the children being coached by Mrs. Prescott, and the lady in turn refuled the accusations, A wordy battle in the local papers took place. During the trouble Attorney C. T. Johns was gquoted as making slurring re- marks about Mrs. Prescott and express- ing himself to the effect that she would be compelied to move her office. When this was made known to Mrs. Prescott she was quite indignant and was prepar- ing to change her quarters when Attorne, C. T. John3 sent a denial of the speec credited to him to General McComb of San Francisco. Mrs. Prescott was not satisfied. The report had gone out publicly that she was not wanted, .and as had been published felt she hurt. Mrs. Sanford asked her to remain, with- | out avail, and preparations were being made to remove, when'C. T. Johns, seeing the matter had taken a serious turn, sent a letter to Charles Sunntag of San Fran- cisco, the president of the State Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, denying that he had adversely criticized Mrs. Prescott’s methods in her work, and begged that she reconsider her intention to remove elsewhere and that she would continue to occupy the office in the Cen- tral Bank building. ke Mrs. Sanford also sent a8 communication of the same nature. Rev. Dr. Wendte, the president of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, sent his indorsement in the following letter: Charles Sonntag Esq., President Californic Socicty for the Prevention of Crueityto Children— My DEAR Sik: It has come to my notice within & day or two that C.T. Johns, & director of our Alameda County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, has made some strictures upon the course of your local agent, Mrs. Pres- cott. 1 regard thisas most unfortunate and regretable, and as president of our Alameda O society desire to inform you that Mr. ews are not indorsed by our officers B mbers, They are purely:his own opinion. Indeed, he now states that he was misreported and has, I understand, written s letter of regrets to Mrs. Prescott. However this may be, our society has no in- n of criticizing its sister organization. cctors are out of town 1 cannot call & meating, but I know from con- versation that they all egree with mein this matter. I trust, therefore, that the friendiy relations which have hitherto existed between the two organizations will not be interrupted by this untortunate incident, and that you will continue to occupy jointly with us the convenientaud central offices at the present | location. We can help each other much, and surely ought to co-operate in the work of mercy to man and beast. With respect, yours, CiAs, W. WENDTE, President Alemeda County 8. P. C. A. This letter was the power that smoothed over the troubled wacers, and Mrs. Pres- cott will continue to carry on her work at the deskroom assigned her in the rooms of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. ALAMEDA CITY TRUSTEES, F. N. Delanoy’s Proposition Re- garding the Stringing of Electric Wires. The School Census Shows a Good Gain in the Younger Pop- ulation. ALAMEDA, CAL., May 11.—At the regu- lar meeting of the City Trustees this even- ing bills to the amount of $2117 were passed for payment. F. N. Delanoy sent the following com- munication: *“As I notified you last Mon- day evening I commenced on Tuesday last to set the poles for the new electric light vlant which I am preparing to establish in Alameca. I have at this time set the poles on Clement avenue, from Che:tnut to Park streets; but before planting any poles on Park street I desire to make a proposition to you which I be'ieve will avoid the necessity of erecting poles on Park street. I nave examiued poles be- longing to the city of Alameda, and am satisfied there is plenty of room on them to piace another crossarm sufficient for my purposes. If you will permit me to _ string my Wwires on your poles on Park street 1 will pay you any reasonable rental for that use, or if vou would prefer it for the same service I will allow you to string your wires on my poles in any part of thecity toa like amount. I sincerely ~hope that you will favorably consider these propositions and give an early answer. The request was denied. T A letter was read from the Municipal League offering and desiring to second the efforts of the city authorities in fighting the injunction suit against the _city, and oifering 1o employ an associate counsel to help the City Attorney to further the case. Mr. George T. Wrights was nominated. The City Attor- ney suggested th name of A. A. Moore ol Oakland if any assistance was required, but he did not think it was nec- essary. The matter was referred to the Judiciary Committee, with power to act. The City Attorney, in answer to a re- quest, stated that no one has a right to put any pole up in front of a residence without 2 permit of the city, and the owner ie perfectly justified in cutting the pole down. S The application to withdraw franchise applisd for by F. M. Delanoy was ac- Fish, contractor, was allowed thirty days’ extra time to put in boilers and engine at the electric hght works.

GRIEF OF THE OLD GARDENER A Streng Protest Will Be Made Against the Proposed Opening of Fallon Street. OAxLAND OFFICE SAN FrANcISco CALL, | 908 Broadway, May 11. § The old gardener who for thirty years has looked after the beautiful grounds of the Kirkham estate is heurt-broken at the prospect of seeing his life work ruthlessly spoiled. ¥or a whole generation the old Scotchman has faithfully tended the mag- nificent canebrake, which is the finest in the State, and now the old enemy of na- ture—the march of civilization—demands that a common highway be made right through the old gardener’s idol. In 1882 General Kirkham, since de- ceased, General Keyes, also now dead, and Mr. Bacon deeded to the city the title to the land necessary for the continuation of Fallon street whenever it became neces- sary to open it. The Council considers that the time bas now come for opening Fallon street from Eighth to Eleventh, and nave introduced the initial step to- ward having the work done. The street, when opened, will pass throush some of the prettiest gardens in Oakland. Itwill be run close to the creek, there being fully 250 feet of unland east of the street on the Kirkham place. All of this is covered with flowers, shrubs and trees. The cunebrake on the Kirkham place, which is on the direct line of the street, will bave to be removed. The Ba- con residence faces the east, and the street when opened will pass the front of the house. On the property are some roman- tic old oaks, which will tend to make the street one of the prettiest in the city. The property-owners do not think the time has yetarrived when the street should | be opened, and have employed ex-Mayor | W. R. Davis to try to persuade the Council that the beautiful places shouid | not be cut up. ‘“The matter will not be taken into the courts,” said Mr. Davis, “for I believe the | Council will see the justice of the protest and postpone action on the street opening. The pith of the matter is here. We do not deny the deed given by Generals Kirkham | and'Keyes and Mr. Bacon to the city in | 1882, which conveys to the city the title to the street whenever it shall be neccessary should be doue until the street is opened clear through to Twelfth street. being built and the street opened through the Kirkham property to the eastern end all the noodiums and people of vicious we believe if Fallon street is opened only part of the way through it would be an- other trysting-place for them.” Due to the Whistle Ordinance.

Majority of the Residents of Livermore Decide That They Do Not Want to Reincorporate. LIVERMORE, Carn., May 11.—A very exciting election was held to-day, the most important question before the voters being the reincorporation of the town as a city of the sixth class. The reinco rpor- ators were headed by Editor R. W. Ellis and the opposition by H. H. Pitcher, the banker. A peculiarity of the returns is that al- though the Pitcher cand.dates for Trus- tees were all defeated, the project to re- incorporate was also defeated. The new Board of Trustees is in favor of reincor- poration. The results of the election are: Trustees—S. Feller, J. L. Mitchell, George Beck, A. W. Feidler and J. L. Mc- Keown. These five are the successful candidates, defeating the Pitcher ticket, composed of H. H. Pitcher, J. V. Ryan, | Pat Callahan, A. Bristorious'and Joseph Fietcher. George Taylor was elected Marshal and W. H. Wright succeeds himself as As- sessor. The reincorporation vote stood: For | 30, against73, and was therefore hove- lessly defeated, the small vote showing that little interest was taken in the matter. ——————— Commencement Exercises.
