OAELAND OFFIcE BAN FrANcisco CALL, 908 Broadway, Aug. 12. } One of the most remarkable reports ever ‘made to the police was that of some ladies top edge. Thereis enough resistance in the wings to enable the man to keep in the air on the same principle as that of a parachute, but it is not easy for the un- itiated to see how the ascent can be made. Mr. Frieser, however, says thai part has been solved, and only a few details are now needed. These, he says, will be com- pleted in a few days, and he will make his initial trip. He feels particularly bitter against some unknown person who was on the street early, 8 few mornings ago, and who tried to discover what the cobbler was doing. While doing so he injured the machine, and Frieser has been put to great loss of time in making the necessary repairs. The flying-machine is kept from public view, in a rear room, and Frieser guards his secret with great care. He is very en- thusiastic, and explains all his ideas with the ease of a man who has put them into practice and tested them. AN OAEKLAND BOY. W. W. Harreison, Who Is Now Charged | With a Murder in i Georgia. OAKLAND, CAL, Aug. 12.—W. W. Har- relson, who recently murdered a com- panion at 2 gambling table in Georgis, was an Oakland boy. His father was an Alameda bridge-tender and the lad was a pupil in the public schools of this city. After leaving school he was employed by Harry Gordon, a local insurance man, as cashier. ‘When the pneumatic tires first came into common use for bicycles Harralson went into the wheel business and held two records when he left here about six years ago. He went to Georgia and married the daughter of a railroad president.

OAKLAND, CArL., Aug. 12.—The notice of the nomination of delegates to run on thie Hilborn ticket at the Republican pri- maries to be held throughout the county | next Saturday was filed with Secretary Walsh of the Republican County Central Committee to-day in the following note: OAKLAND, Cal.. Aug. 12, 1896. Phil M. Walsh, Sccretary Alameda County Re- publican Central Commiittee—DEAR SIR: To con- | form’to the resolution of your committee in tne matter of delegates at large to be voted for | st the primary election on Auzust 15 next the friends of the Hon. §. G. Hilborn have request- ed me to notify your committec that they have selected as representing his side of the can- test the following delegates atlarge: Devis, F. K, Shattuck, Charles Prowse and Firm D. Hinds, Respectiully vours, WiILLiaM H. FRIEND. Judge A. L. Frick, the other candidate, has notified Secretary Walsh that his rep- resentatives will be the same who were originally nominated by the County Com- Flying Machine With Which Its Invent or Hopes to Imitate a Sparrow’s Flight and made calculations that he now claims will enable him to emulate the sparrows. The sparrow is the cobbler’s model. He bas studied that bird and has tried to un- | derstand the secrets that enable 1t to rise and fly so simply. “I am now certain of success,” said the inventor to-day, “ana 1 have carefully kept my machine a secret. I shall soon be able to go up and come down just like that bird. I expect to be able to fly with great rapidity, and if I should meet a hur- ricane while in the air I should have no difficulty in keeping ahead of it. I have always believed tbat it is possible fora man to fly, and if I do not discover the method somebody else will.” The flying-machine on which Mr. Frieser has spent so many laborious hours is a large and rather cumbrous looking object. The wings are ten feet broad and twenty feet long, and are composed of a wire frame, over whick canvas is stretched. In the center, where the oper- ator stands, is a combination of cranks that enable the man to flap the wingsin a manner similar to the wings of a bird. There is also another arrangement by which the wings can be worked from their mittee and afterward withdrawn on the recommendation of the campaign com- mittee of the State Central Committee, viz.: W. G. Henshaw, C. S. Long, Morrow and R. W. Church.

J 3 ND SOFT SHAP FOR TYPENRITERS Clerk Jordan's Army Ex- pected to Receive Four Prices. GIVE THE SECRET AWAY Discover They Are Working for Politicians Who Plead Poverty. THEY WANTED NO "OIHGH."‘ Some Political Knowledge Displayed by One of the Disap- pointed. OARLAND OFFICE SAN FRrANCISCO CALL, 908 Broadway, Aug. 12. } The typewriters who are getting out the greatregister have experienced a big dis- appointmont. They were led to believe that they were to receive 2 cents a name for their work. Now they have been asked, and all have agreed, to sign a contract for 60 centsa hundred names. Just how they were led into the belief that they were to receive pay that would aggregate $10 a day is not easy to trace, and theladles themselyes do not know on whom to vent their disap- pointment, and that of course makes it all the harder to bear. At the present rates, which are about the same as ordinary office work rates, the operators can make between $2 and $2 50 per day. At the expected rates they could of course have made four times that amount. The report that the high rate was to be paid brought scores of type- writers from across the bay, and their dis- appointment was great when they found out their mistake. ““The trouble arose this way,” said one of the prettiest of the fair army that is in control of the Supervisors' quarters at present. ‘““We thought we were to work for the county and we expected several times the usual rates. You know when we do official work we generally get about four times the usual amount paid for routine work. I®do not quite know why it should be so, but I guess it's what the men call ‘cinching’ the county. Every- body about the building here gets about six times as much as they earn, and of course when we work for the county we expect the same. “But we learned to-day that we are not working for the county. Although work- ing under the direction of the County Clerk we are getting out this register for some politicians, the Republican County Committee, or some other committee, I believe. When we spoke about the pay they said they were all broke and that this is going to be a staryation campaign and that none of the candidates can ‘vony up a bean,’” whatever that means. “But of course we are going to get paid all right, although this is not what some of the men round here call ‘a snap.’ Mr. 0’Connell, who I believeis a prominent politician, said to-day that we should have the satisfaction of knowing that our work would contribute toward a clean primary, and the idea seemed to please him immensely.” ALAMEDA'SPREPARATIONS The Committees Have Worked Hard to Insure a Suc cessful Day. A Bui ding Association’s Sworn State- meant Said to B: False—Election of Delegates. ALAMEDA, CAL., Aug. 12.—The vari- | ous committees in charge of the observ- ance of Alameda day at the Oakland Ex- position to-morrow have completed all | their arrangements, and there seems every | prospect that their labors will be crowned with success. The anthorities in charge of the exposi- tion have been most liberal ia their con- cessions, and this 2bsence of niggardliness has done much to arouse a spirit of en- thusiasm among the committees. All the public schools will be closed and in the afternoon the pupils will be ad- mitted iree. Each school has appointed its own reception committee, which will have charge of the conduct 2nd behavior of their schoolmates. The general reception committee will consist of Mesaames Joseph F.

Mysell, the anctioneer on Park street, pur- chased at auction on June 6a lot and house on which a mortgage was held by the Alameda Building and n Association in the sum of $761. On looking at the as- sessment roll this afternoon Mysell found that the deduction on account of mort- gage was only $250. The officials claim that this is the amount which the Ala- meda Building and Loan Association, on its sworn sjatement, claimed that the mortgage tax was collectable on. Mysell is on the warpath, as he holds re- ceipts to show_that be paid the mortgage off to the building association, and thag the amount paid by him was §746. This was in July, and he contends that in March the mortgage indebtedness was no less. He says some one has committed perjury, and unless the difference between the mortgage money written on the assess- ment roll and the money paid by him to redeem the property be added tothe dedue- tions made on account of mortgage some one is going to get into trouble.

A petition is being prepared to_be circu- lated among the student body, asking that the Board of Regents take no further action, but permit Flagg to remain in his present position. “This is one of the most deplorable cir- cumstances that has ever taken place in the history of the State University,” said one of the leading professors to-night, who would not permit his name to appear in print. “It is absolutely without prece- | dent, and I believe that the plan to oust Professor Fiagg and to put in Professor Bunnell is deep laid and extends beyond the confines oprerkele(‘ The faculty are taking no part in the difficulty and proba- bly will not. ““There has been no call for a special meeting to consider the case, and I don’t believe there will be one.” The question mav come up for consideration at the regular faculty meeting on Saturday evening.” The entire history ot the difficulty ex- isting between tbe two professors was given in this morning’s CALL. It dates back over eight or ten years, and the first trouble which Professor Bunnell had with the university took place something like fifteen years ago. When and how the present affair will end is a matter of the deepest speculation among the professors and university society in general. May Bring Suit.
