OAKLAND OrricE BAN FRANcISco CALL, 908 BROADWAY. Aug. 11. } The Livermore Republican Club has ar- ranged for a big meeting on Thursday night and it is their intention to let the whole country around them know the nature of the campaign that they are going to make. and assistance which those bodies may be able from time to time to render us. Fourth—That a committee ot five be ap- pointed to distribute campaign literature, and to perform such other duties as from time to time may be required of it by the club. The club has selected for its president a man with a m:lori. 1t is Valentine Alviso, who carriec the banner in the first Republican campaign ever conducted in this county. President Alviso was the life-long friend of the late Senator Stanford. During the campaign in war times, in which Stanford was elected Governor, he learned to ad- mire the plucky young man who went to the front of every Republican procession carrying the stars and stripes. The Sena- tor obtained for Mr. Alviso a place in the Mint and later he was keeper of Spanish archives in the Burveyor-General’s office. A few days ago Mr. Alviso recalled his first meeting with Mr. Stanford, at the time the railroad man was on a tour of in- spection just after the railroad had been built into the valley. Mr. Stanford ex- claimed: *I have traveled over Europe, T have looked upon the far-famed scenery of this and the old continent, but I never beheld a more beautiful place than this.” A WARRANT ISSUED. Ticket-Agent Bergsten Will Prosecute Charies Bell for Absconding With His Cash. OAKLAND, CaL., Aug. 11.—Charles J. Bell, the assistant ticket agent at the Center-street station who disappeared yes- terday with the money of the rairoad company, is now & fugitive from justice. This morning Ticket-agent Bergsten swore toa complaint and a warrant has been issued. Notice wasat once sent to San Francisco, San Jose, Santa Cruz and other points where he would be likely to stop at. This is Bergsten’s second experi- ence with lads who have fallen when iempted. He bad implicit confidence in both, but he is sorry now. He says: “Some time ago Al Lightner worked for me and did me for worth of goods. He admitted it when I caught him, but i his mother begged so hard and promised The Most Attractive Pressroom From Which a Great Register Was Ever Issued.

All the typewriters working on piece rates, and not a moment is wasted on conversation or smiles. The ing of paper as the workers turn over davits, the perpetual click of the 1d the constant tinkling of bells ue without intermissibn, and the great register that will be used at the yrimaries next Saturday will have been machine in the world.

Each lady that place at the long table brought , and a few minutes later was clicking away for her life irom a yortion of the 27,000 affidavits that have been sworn to by the voters of the county. The register as at present being pre- pared on typewriting machines is 3 very complete and almost perlect piece of work. Its use at the primaries will re- veal any inaccuracies, and they will be corrected at once, so that the coples of the great register that will be used for the general election will be as nearly per- fect as it 1s possible to make it. This will be something new for Alameda County, *‘I met a host of doubters when I pledged the County Committee that great regis- ter,’ said County Clerk Jordan to-day, “but I will bave it finished to-morrow. It is an accurate piece of work, and could not have been accom{:‘lisued had not we besnn work on it months ago and kept our affidavits filed alphabetically. It ha¥cost the county as high as $25,000 to get out great registers on former occasions, but this one kas cost nothing butsome small bills for stationery. Itisa clean job, and 10 the best of my ability and knowledge thereis not a stuffer on it. In addition to all the work that can be seen there has been an espionage kept on any doubtful character whose record shows that he would not be averse to stuffing a register. This is the first great register since the ed- ucational test was made compulsory, and it represents the most intelligent body of voters that have ever registered in this county.” THE BABY'S UNIFORM.

It is being refitted and cleaned up, preparatory to the opening. Blackhurst closed with a talk upon social evils and their remedies. — COLLINY THIRD TRIAL George Knight Too Busy in San Fran- cisco to Attend Court. OAKLAND, CAL, Aug. 11.—The second trial of Michael Collins, accused of mur- dering Philip Boogar, was set for to-day. When the case was called in Jndge Greene’s court this morning Attorney George A. Knight, representing the de- fendant, asked for a continuance, claiming that he was compelled to be in San Fran- cisco as a representative in the Cornelius King will matter, which would take a month. Judge Greene was opposed to the case going over, but he set the hearing for Sep- tember 30, after exacting a promise from both sides that no more time would be asked. Collins shot Boogar in front of the Ga- lindo Hotel February 8, 1895. Boogar lin- gered a day or two, and died after making an ante-mortem statement accusing Col- lins with the shooting.

OARILAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CAm} 908 Broadway, Aug, 11. Berkeley has had its day at the exposi- tion, and to passers-by who might have heard the celebration io-night it is only necessary to say that Berkeley includes the university, and that the term opened yesterday. The programme as published was carefully carried out, and as usual the buildings were all crowded.

To-Day’s Entertainment, The managers of the Oakland Expost- tion extended to the colored citizens of Oakland and vicinity an invitation to as- sist in the entertainment. They accepted the invitation and to-night they will pre- sent a very interesting and charming pro- gramme. The management is well pleased that it bas this feature to add to the attractive- ness of the fair and it deplores that the occasion should have been falsely pre- sented in the Chronicle. Those who will participate and their friends were very indignant at the unjustified reference to cake walks, etc., which appeared in the alleged account of the programme. Homer Bishop of Oakland in discussing the offensive article says: We resent it as an attempt of the writer to bias the minds of the citizens of Oakland and San Francisco against the success of our day and a reflection upon our ability to present an intellectual programme. The programme on this occasion will be such that the most cul- tured of our citizenscan listen to it with satis- faction. Itisto be depiored by all good citi- zens that the Chronicle would publish in its columns that there would be a cake walk when it knew at the time thafit was a bas: falsehood, the baseness being only exceede by the writer himself. MAY HE WEAR A BADGE? James Kenney Does Not Know Whether He Is Fire Chief or Not. Hilborn Being Supported—Examina- tions at the University Se- vere This Year. BERKELEY, Can, Aug. 11.—The re- fusal of the Town Trustees to appoint James Kenney Chief ot the Fire Depart- ment will probably leave Berkeley without a Cbhief for nearly a year. It is thought that the question will again come up next June, that month being the one fixed by ordinance for the selection of a Fire Chief. The movement to secure a Chief was started by the Peralta Ffire Company, which led in. the fight against Kenney. The company had & candidate of its own— its foreman—D. J. Keane being the prin- cipal opponent of James Kenney, and {riends of the latter charge that Keane's defeat had much to do witn thecompany’s opposition. The outcome of the affair has placed the Town Trustees in a pecular position. They it was who caused a convention of firemen to be held, resulting in the nomi- nation of Kenney, and now taev refuse to indorse him. Though ro direct vote on Kenney has been taken by the board, yet their disinc'ination last night to pass an ordinance under which he might be appointed is consirued as a practical throwcown. 1tis understood that three of the members favored Kenney, while the other three were against him. Having been supported directly by five of the fire companies out of the seven now existing, Kenney considers himself practically the Fire Chief of Berkeley. not- withsranding the refusal of the board to indorse his name. *Tne Fire Department Tuction Bales JTHIS DAY, AT 2 P.

They will doubtless have to abrogate the present ordinance, however, if they expect to make an appointment before June, for | otherwise they will have to wait until that | time in order to observe the law.” | Rally Around Hilborn. BERKELEY, Car., Aug. 11.—[mmedi- | ately aiter the adjournment of the Repnb- lican Club meeting last evening at Odd Fellows’ Hall a caucus of the frienas and political supporters of Congressman Hil- born was held. An address regarding Hilborn’s candidacy was made by W. L. Hill, who declared it to be the duty of all Republicans to work for the renomination of the Congressman.

BERKELEY, CaL, Aug. 11. — The| “preps’”’ whoare taking the entrance ‘‘exs” | to the State University say that they are having a hard time of it and many have expressed the wish that they had burned more of the proverbial midnignt oil before attempting to pass through the ordeal. Numbers of those who took the examina- tions last year and failed to pass, and are | taking them again, declare that the| questions in all the subjects offered for | entrance are at least 25 per cent harder | than a year ago. | And the upper classmen, who have long gince filed their matriculation cards, say that the ‘‘freshies” of to-day are having a | much harder time than those of two or three years ago. This tightening of the screws on the part of the faculty is con- strued as being the result of the vastly overcrowded condition of all the depart- ments, and also of the desire to raise the standard of the institution. There has been some talk of an unofficial nature, of cutting down if not entirely out, the num- ber of special students, as it is claimed they are taking up the room that should be given to those who have a regular status. There are something like two hundred special students taking courses at the pres- ent time, many of whom are registered for only six or eignt hours a week. The regu- | lar students who intend to graduate, and who are taking not less than fifteen hours a week, maintain that they ought neither to be thrown out nor hampered by spe- | cials who take only six hours, and who | have no intention of working for a degree. | Students to Be Measured. | BERKELEY, CAL., Aug. 11.—Beginning with to-morrow the male students of the freshman class at the State Uni- versity will be required to undergo a rigid physical examination, be meas- ured completely and be Ehotognphed i against a co-ordinated blackboard. This system of determining the exact physical condition of each and every intrant, espe- cially the photographing, will form an | important feature in the work of the de- partment of gymnastics, and Director Magee believes that it will prove of inesti- mable value in the matter of gathering Gata as to the physique of the young col- legians. Gathering Stolen Coins. BERKELEY, CaL., Ave. 11.—Detectives Antkony and Holbrook of the San Fran- cisco Society for the Prevention of Crueity to Children yesterday brought from San Francisco Eva Dougherty, the 13-year-old girl who is ucoused of stealing coins and jewelry, for the purpose of locating some of the $3 coins which she is supposed to have paimed off on certain Berkeley peovle last Saturday. - Several of these rare coins were recovered, but a complete seagch was prevented because of the fact that many of the business-houses were closed in cele- bration of children’s day at tbe Oakland Exposition. They will bring the girl over again to-morrow and continue the search. High School Enrollment. BERKELEY, CaL, Aug. 11.— The Berkeley High School opened yesterday with a total enroliment of 28L. In the senior class there wera 88, in the middle 92 and in the junior 101. This is the largest enroliment the school has ever had. ¥ Wrestling Champlonship. BERKELEY, CarL, August 11, — The Crescent Athletic Club decided their meeting last night to have a wrestling match on the 20th inst. between Ea Voll- ner and Frank Thompson for a gold medal and the chambionship of Berkeley. Children Go in Scores. All the schools of Berkeley closed this afternoon to give the children an oppor- tunity to attend the Oakland Exposition. It is said that at least 1000 attended. They all wore unique badges of biue and gold ribbon in honor of the university. It seemed like a holiday in Berkeley, because many of the stores were closed in honor of the occasion. e Held for Tria ” OAKLAND, CaL., Aug. -Judge Wood | vaults for some time. He is a married man and lives in Berkeley. Two weeks ago he borrowed a brace and bit, a screw- driver and other tools from the engineer, saying he wanted to use them at his home. The holes made in the partition to make the flap through which the sacks | were abstracted from the bureau in the superintendent’s office correspond with the bit and brace and the screw-driver. Darragh was always asking about the rob- bery, and day before yesterday remarked to Owen Pegg, the engineer, that he was surprised the police had not searched the attic for the stolen coin. Pegg went into the attic after Darragh had gone away, and found one of the sacks, containing $400, which he turned over to the police. The detectives claim that there are other circumstances that Darragh will find hard to explain satisfactorily. Captain Spillane of the Southern district police station, who has been busily en- gaged searching for evidence against the accused marn, is confident that the other sack which contains $500 is still around the building. A force of men will search every nook in the wine vaults to-day and in ail probability the stolen money will by nightfall be ia the hands of its rightful owners. ——.—————— James Scott’s Will. ‘The will of James Scott, who died on August 5, aged 75 years, was yesterday filed for pro- bate.
