THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, MAY 26, 1896 REFUSED FIFTY DOLLARS A GAONTH, Haywards Electric Road Cats the Salary of Its Attorney. STRONG COMBINE ENDS. Reed and Nusbaumer Refuse to Accept One-Halt of Their Former Fee, YEARS OF WORK IGNORED. The Attorneys Were Anticipating an Increase on Account of Faith. ful Service. OARLAXD OrFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, 908 Broadway, May 25. } One of the strongest combinations in Alameda County has been broken, and politicians and lawyers are wondering what the next development will be. Because the directors of the Haywards Electric road have reduced their sslaries one-half, George Reed and Emile Nus- baumer, one of the strongest politico-legal combinations in the county, have severed all connection with the corporation and are now looking for a chance to openly fight it. Nothing that has happened on Broad- way for a long time has aroused more general interest than this split in the ranks. The simple appellation of at- torneys for the company does not repre- sent by any means the relationship of Reed and Nusbaumer toward the electric road. The relationships of the attorneys with the Supervisors and with the City Council and boards of trustees has been far more prominent than their actual legal work, and in reality they have been the politicians for the company as well as the attorneys. A few weeks ago, during the riots at Ban Leandro, when Egbert Stone was ar- rested and when the outlook for the com- pany was very blue, George Reed posted in haste to that town and did a great deal | _ of active work. He exposed himself to some personal risk. He said the amount | of work and worry of that job alone was worth & thousand dollars. The firm has been the attorney for the road since it first started, and during all these vears the salary paid was $100 per month. This was kept up till a few days azo, and owing to the increase of the legal business of the company their at- torneys are considering the advisability of demanding $200 for their services. Since the adventof Assessor Dalton the assessments of the company have made necessary many fights for reductions. At different times the attorneys have super- intended two bond issues amounting to $500,000, and it is said that the usual commission for so doing should be $5000. All that they have received from the com- pany for four years and a half of service is $5400. | The thunder-clap fell when the firm re- ceived notice that the corporation had de- cided to reduce their salaries to $50 per month., Reed & Nusbaumer thought that the announcement was prelimicary to a joke, but they were aisappointed. They discovered that the directors were in ear- nest and that §50 a month was all the sal- ary for the corporation’s attorney would be in the future. The next day the strong combination was broken, and George Reed and Emil Nusbaumer were not the legal and politi- | cal representatives of the company. Curiosity as to the cause of the breach has been great, but it was not till to-day that the secret was out. The officers of the company declare that | the amount of work required by the cor- poration does not merit the payment of more than $50 per month, and that as it is a cold business proposition they cannot pay more. The successor to Reed & Nusbaumer is Sam Bell McKee. Emil Nusbaumer was asked to-day about the affair, but he merely remarked, ““Well, we've done with corporations now. | There is nothing in supplying brains for | *such bodies. BURGLARS CAUGHT. Gave the Marshal and Posse an Excit- ing Footrace. OAKLAND, CaL., May 25.—Town Mar- shal Giesenhoffer of San Leandro brought John Martin and Edward Kelley to the County Jail to-day and locked them ap on a charge of burglary. One was captured by the Marshal and ‘bis posse after an ex- | citing footrace and the other by Town | Trustee Cary after a similar experience. The fellows forced an entrance last night into the residence of Miss Nellie Byrne, who resides next to Town 7'rustee Cary, while the lady was at church. When she | returned and found the burglars at work | sh®quickly gave the alarm, to which Mr, Cary and his man responded. Thney made for the first man who emerged from the building, but ran him haif a mile before | be was brought to bay. He resisied, but | being so nearly windea, and only one against two, was soon overpowered. ! The other fellow was followed by Mar- | shal Giesenhoffer. They excited theneigh- borhood, and a number of citizens joined | in the chase, which finally resulted in the | fellow being surrounded. He, too, at- tempted to resist, but was speedily over- powered. Their kit was found on them, and they were locked up for the night and brought to a safer place to-da; HIS BODY RECOVERED. Eemains of Peter Nelson, Drowned With 8. H. von Schmidt, Washed Ashore. OAKLAND, CaL., May 25.—The body of Peter Nelson, the sailor drowned with 8. H. von Schmidt a week ago while sailing on the estuary, was recovered this morn- ing at the Peralta freight slip by Thomas Btewart of 601 Valdez street. Owing to the time the body was in the water it was impossible to recognize the features, but it counld be seen the remains were those of a young man. On his person was found a silver watch, but no papers b; which he could be positively identified. Deputy Coroner Ivellen took the watch to Ban Francisco to one of Nelson’s friends, who identified the timepiece as one carried by the dead sailor. —_————— WILL BE SOLD 0OOT.

Uncomplimentary Reference to Pupils of the Lowell High School. OARLAND OFFICE SAN Fr 908 Broadwav, May § Since the winning of the great debating San Francisco the pupils of the Oakland ton along literary lines, | organ of the school, has never been dull, but the editorial staff recently conceived the idea of getting out the greatest aca- demic magazine on earth. They claim to have succeeded. The midsummer effort of the Mgis staff is said to be the biggest paper of its kind ever issued. The artists and editors Lave followed the usual lines in getting out such magazines and the amateur josher has been allowed fuil play for his talent, and he has take n advantage of it. There is, how ever, nothing in the maga- zine that will call down the wrath of the faculty, as a marked degree of respect has been shown for their school by the editors, and no opportunity has been lost to show up their beautiful building wherever pos- ible. The Lowell High School comes in for very harsh treatment and it is very evi- dent that the artist has drawn more on imagination than on fact. Ipasmuch as the Lowell debaters cannot debate in the school building on accountof i nferiority to the new Oakland school, the artist has provided a debating-room on the adjoin- ing hill. The Berkeley athlete, the high school bloomer girl and a well-known member of the school who said the last baseball game was not worth the nickel paid for admission are not passed by. The staff is as follows: Editor, Joseph J. Rosborough; first associate editor, Harry A. Keder; second associate cdimr: Albert Shuey; third associate editor, Miss W. Warner; fourth associate ecitor, Miss F. Mayhew; artists, Jack D. Hoffmann and A. Roy Burrell; business manager, Irwin J. Muma; vresident of company, Ernest Page; vice-president, Koy S.

The case of the Government against Frank Wooge, alias George M. Zimmer- man, alias Frank Koenig, charged with using the mails for fraudulent purposes, came up in the District Court yest erday for trial, The Government presented i(s evidence, after which Zimmerman's attor- ney made the usual formal request fora dismissal of the charge. Judge Morro w denied the motion, ordering that the hear- ing proceed. The defense will make out its case to-day. ‘Wooge, or Zimmerman, was arrested some weeks ago on a charge of using the mails for fraudulent purposes. While a resident of Oregon and later of Siskiyou County, he wrote to the various large stamp dealers throughout the country for approval lists. Instead of remitting for such stamps as he professed to desire and returning the balance, he would keep the entire lot and later dispose of them to other dealers, He was conducting quite an extensive business in this line when ar- rested. ————— The first systematic instruction on scien- tific principles for the deaf was begun by g at Madrid in 1620, Both Corrigan ana his wife | i by their fall, | The Le | been granted by the committee in charge | o Fred Cottrell '96, who completed the | of the older and more advanced pupils of | WAR OF FENCES IN WEST OAKLAND, No Daylight Can Reach the Home of the Davises. ON THE AGGRESSIVE, Six Feet Was Added to the Immense Dead Wall Last Night. OVER THE SECOND STORY. A Feud That Shows Itself in Car. penter Work and Redwood Lumber. OAxLAKND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, 908 Broadway, May 25. } Bix feet was added to the Troy fence to- day in West Oakland, and an extra police officer has been detailed to preserve the peace in that neighborhood. For six years the Troys and the Davises have been building fences at Bighth and Kirkham streets. The two families have lived on adjoining lots all that time, but the relationship has not been always as strained as it is to-day. In the beginning the fence was a very modest affair about six feet in height. That was sufficient to prevent the two families from seeing each other out of the kitchen windows, but it did not prevent them from looking over with the aid of a chair, so the Troys built a fence several feet higher than that of the Davises. Davis went one better, and carried his fence up till it was fifteen feet high. This effectually stopped hostilities between the first story of the two houses, After that the war began from the sec- ond story and was quite lively. It was decided to carry up the wall till it bloc ked out the possibility of looking into each other’s upper windows. Troy added a few more feet until 1t would be impossible for one family to annoy the other, except they got up on the roof. Finally the matter was taken into the Potice Court, and the two ladies admitted so much that Judge Wood decided that neither had a case, as each confessed to some striking and hair- pulling, and threw the case out of court. “Idon’'t intend to be driven away by the Troys,” said Mrs. Dayis, *‘although her fence makes it impossible for me to rent my lower flat.” “If I could get the full value for my house,” said Mrs. Davis, “I would go to the ends of the earth to get out of the range of that woman'’s voice.” The Troy boys recently discovered that the Davises could look around the end af the fence and get a glimpse of the Troy place. This was a situation that coula not be tolerated for a moment, and to- day a big addition was made to the front of the fence. The Davises took no active means to resent it, but were contented to make grimaces at the fence-builders. The Troys declare that they will isolate them- selyes from the Davises if they have to build a fence as high as the Tower of Babel. At present the Troy fence runs up above the second story of the Davis residence at a distance of about one foot. This prac- tically robs the half of the Davis house of any daylight. ALAMEDA TRUSTEES. Postoffice Business Increasing—Prepara- tions Made for School Picnic to Laundry Farm. ALAMEDA, CaAL., May 25.—At the regu- lar meeting of the City Trustees this even- ing accounts to the amount of $522 were passed for payment. The sum of $2750 was transferred from the general fund to the electric-light fund. An ordinance introduced providing that “no person shall expectorate on the floor of any public conveyance or any public building in Alameda’’ was laid over at the request of Trustee Hammond; as was the ordirance compelling the use of bells on bicycles in the city. The chief of the fire department was granted leave of absence for fifteen days from next Wednesday, and Henry Muller was appointed to act in his stead. The Southern Pacific Company wrote asking fora copy of the ordinance affect- ing the stationing of a flagman at the cor- ner of Park street and Encinal avenue. Dutber Filimore attended the meeting and suggested the substitution of a bell in- stead of a flagman. It was agreed to try the bell, to ring at a distance of 500 feet from the crossing, and if it is not satisfac- tory to put a flagman there. The clerk was instructed to advertise for 100 long tons of coal for the Electric Light Works. A. L. Fisher applied for payment on ac- count of the electrical apparatus and boilers. Seven thousand five hundred dol- lars was transferred from the general fund to the electric light fund and payment of that sum ordered to be made. Opening of Laundry Farm Electric Road.

Young, who claims he is the “Steward of the Lord,” charges his enemies with putting poison in the water of which he and his family had to partake. In speaking of the matter to-day, hesaid: *1 don’t suppose I ought to teli you this, for we are not yet certain how it was done, but all of us experienced the most strange nausea. I firmly believe the water was goisoned; I think the Whitecaps did it. ou see I was very nervous yesterday, anyway, but when my family became so much worse than I was I commenced to think something was wrong. Later, when we were taken even worse, I was convinced that an attempt had been made to poison us. We stopped using the water me- diately, and then felt somewhat better. I don’t know what may come of this yet.” At the Macdonough.

NEED MALE TEACHERS. Discussion. Regarding Public Schools by the Board of Educa- tion. OAKLAND, Carn.,, May 25. — Ambrose ejahan, secretary of the Educational Publication Company of this city, pelieves there should be more men teachers in the public schools, and gives his views in the following interesting statement: A letter which is now before a committee of the San Franeisco Board of Education for con- sideratfon calls attention to the numerous victims of suspension from the publicschools of that City and suggests that the prime cause of many of these suspensions may be found in the injustice done the thousands of the older pupils, and especially the bor who are un- Wisely deprived of their just Tights to the ben- efits of male teachers. And the letter under consideration goes on to say that about the only excuse for this unwise policy of the board in employing female teachers to the exclusion of male teachers seems to be in order to pro- vide an “army of accomplished and lovable girls and women with positions in the school department.’” Vhether or not this committee of investiga- tion finds that suspensions from the San Fran- cisco schools are, in many cases, chargeable to the fact that pupils are under the guidance solely of female teachers, this practice of em- ploying such an overwhelming preponderance of female talent, in City school departments especially, is one that is attracting a great deal of opposition. In perhaps no other city of the United States are the children so compietely deprived of the benefits of male teachers as in the city of Oak- land, where practically all the pupiis in the | public schools are in charge of female teachers. | That this is a mistake no one who under- stanas anything about education will deny. That the very essence of education is the for- mation of character, and that the intangible something which we call the personality—the individuality of the teacher—is the subtle force, power or influence which is a leading formative agency in_ this work of charater building all will admit. Aud yet the educational system of our city is based practicaily on the principle that the children of Oakland shall b2 brought up under the influence of feminine traits of character. There is an ignoring of the fact that the full development of a child’s nature demands that it be brought under both male and female in- fluences. The manhood of & man appeals to the boy and prompts him in a way which we cannot wholly comprehend nor define; and there is something in the character of a man which has a tremendous influence on the in- tellectual life of the girl. X There is no denying the truth of the claim that both male and female teachersare needed for the proper education of both boys and girls—leading educators the world over so as- sert. A great wrong is commitied when the boys and girls of a community are obliged to complete their school course without hiaving been instructed by a male teacher. And yet this is what is being done in the city of Oak- land, where only the favored few who ettend the High School have the benefits of male in- structors. The addition or a score or more of eflicient male teachers to the teaching force of this city would be an inestimable blessing to the chil- dren in_our gramiar schools, and would un- | doubtedly work some surprising changes in the census statistics, especially as to the great number of children of school age who do not attend any school. Tosay this is no disparage- | ment of tixe good work that is being done by the women teachers of the city, many of whom show special pedagogical ability, The point at issue is the kind of instruction that is essential to the perfect development of the child, and nature teaches and experience shows that the Oskland plan produces one-sided results. TRUANT CHILDREN. Superintendent Babcock Tells the Woman’s Federation How DMany There Are. At the meeting of the Federation of ‘Women, held yesterday afternoon, a let- ter from Superintendent Babcock was read, commending the work of the federation in trying to make truant children attend school. The letter stated that the number of children between 5 and 7 years of age, not attending school, according to the latest census, is 16,267, though it is possi- ble that a small portion attend some pri- vate school, and between the ages of 5 and 6 they are not eligible for attendance at public schools. It was resolved that the federation agi- tate the appointment of a temperance | lecturer for public schools, as two years have passed since Mrs. Nellie B. Eyster gave her lectures, and all the pledges against drinking and smoking made by the children at that time have expired. Slaes e o HOTEL ARRIVALS. GRAND HOTEL.
