LOST THEIR SHOES. Oakland Customers Told They tan San Jose. OAKLAND, Carn, Deec. — Several peo Oukland are looking for their shoes. Some weeks ago a co-operative shoe repairing factory opened on Tele- grapb avenue, purchased a fancy cart, did considerable poster advertising, and cut rates for soling and heeling to about one- third the usual ‘price.

INSPECTORS ON GUARD. Rev. Father Brennan Again At- tempts to Open St. Francis School. HE TEARS DOWN MORE NOTICES New Cases of Diphtheria. Reportel. Trial Continued Tiil Next Saturday. The war between the health and edu- cational departments of the City smol- dered yesterday, except along the line occupied by Father Brennan and St. Francis School. There the flames of the conflict blazed up when the clergyman found a troop of medical inspectors and a diphtheria placard at his schoolhouse door. He at first resisted the interference of the health officials when he attempted to take his pupils into the building, but finaily concluded to await the outcome of the action of the Board ot Education against the Boara of Health, The inspectors early took their stations yesterday morning at the doors of all the condemned schools, with orders to resist any attempt to enter the buildings or re- move the notices from the walls. At about 8:30 A. M. the teachers acting under orders from Superintendent Babcock be- gan to arrrive at their respective posts of duty. In general each teacher was accompany- ing a pevy of her little girl pupils, but the ‘boys were absent, for the offer of a vaca- tion, even out of season, was not to be re- fused. The teachers and their charges were po- litely informed that there would be no school that day, and without a word they all returned home. At the Everett School, on Sanchez street near Seventeenth, a ang of cnrfenum are laying a yard-flcor. hloride of lime was first sprinkled thickly on the ground between the six- inch redwood sleepers and the inch and a half pine pianking put down. Almost 30,000 feet of lumber will be used in floor- ing the entire yard. No work is being done around the shabby looking sheds known as the Marsball Primary School, on Mission street,2 and the Health Office seals on the doors are unbroken. ‘When the case of Father Thomas Bren- nan was called in Judge Campbell’s court yesterday morning Attorney Matt Sulli- van asked for a continuance pending the injucction proceedings to be instituted by the Board of Health against the School Directors. Father Brennan had been served with a warrant Tuesday morning and charged with removing a diphtheria placard which the health authorities had posted ac the entrance of St. Francis parochial school, at Sixteenth and Dolores streets. In reply to Attorney Sullivan’s request Judge Campbell said he felt the case should be tried and the question settled without delay, as the Schools shouid be opened if tha%.ealth Officer was in the wrong and the adtion of that official u; Leld by the law if the lives of the pupils were endangered by attendance at the condemned schools. After some discussion a eontinuance was granted by consent of the prosecution till next Saturday morning. The cases of School Director H, C. Hen- derson and Thomas Lowney, the Re- corder’s clerk, charged with the same offense, were also centinued till Saturday by the same court. Ten inspectors were sent by Health Officer Lovelace to- guard the St. Francis School yesterday morning, and though they displayed great watchfulness Father Brennan managed to steal anot er march on them. It happened thisway: Nineo the deputies were stationed at the Do- lores-street entrance of the school, beliey- ing that the clereyman would endeavor to march the children in through that gate. One lone deputy was sent to guard the entrance to the old Mission Church on Sixteenth street. ButFatter Brennan en- tered the church from the rear and opened the doors and the chiidren, who had in the mean time gathered on the sidewalk, quietly filed into the old edifice and sat there patiently awaiting the signal for the next move from their pastor. Soon word reached the inspectors that they had been outwitted, and after a brief | consultation as to what was the best method te pursue a trio of them ap- proached Father Brennan, L. F. Long act- ing as spokesman. Headvised the clergy- man that any attempt on his part to match the children through the rear yard and in that way reach the school would be met with resistance and much un- pleasantness from the officers, and that it would be best for a'l parties concerned to send the children home and let the matter be placed in the courts. But Father Brennan 1nsisted that the Board of Health wasacting wrongly and withoul authosity; that they had no more right to enter and take possession of his school and grounds thau they nad to enterand take possession of his private residence. When some one offered the suggestion that an injunction had better be taken out to prevent the deputies causing further trouble Father Brennan stated that he had no patience with injunctions; they were too slow for him. e felt that he was right in the way he was acting, and would not be dictated to by a score of deputies who had no business in his private grounds. The inspectors then retired to the rear yard, as they tnought the clergyman would attempt to bring the children into a little house immediately back of the 8t. Francis School, a building that had not be-n occupied for a few years past. Taey surrounded the little schoolhouse, and as many as could stood on the steps and awaited the coming of the pupils, headed by Father Brennan. They had not long to wait, for the clergyman soon appeared with his scholars. There was a dead silence as the clergy- "man crossed the yard, but as he ascended the steps of the schoolhouse Market In- spector Ben Davis said: . “Fatber Brennan, you and the children will not be allowed toenter this school- house.” *I will enter,”” said tue clergy- man. He had been followed by his sta- bleman, who had tried to force the door, but was unceremoniously ejected by a stalwart deputy. “Then I will be compelled to arrest you,” said Davis. *I will send for the patrol and have you driven down to the City Pri-on.” “Go ahead, arrest me,’”” answered the clergyman, and then he tore down a no- tice that had been tacked on the school- house, threw it to the ground and sai “How dare any man tack a notice of this kind on my private proverty? There is no case of diphtheria on these premises.” Inspector Davis then informed him that his duty to the board would compel him to replace the notice. *‘Go ahead and re- place it and I will paste & blazing placard under saying the above is a lie.” The deptties then decided to allow Father Brennan to enter the building, but warned nim that there would be serious troubleif he attempted to bring in the children. He stepped about two feet irto the schoolhouse and then turned and suid, “L will go for a policeman and with his aid take my children into this schoolhotse. I would like you to tell me if itis America or Russia we are living in? Are we under the autocratic rule of the Czar or are we in a country where every man is entitied to protect his own property 2’ y tnis time Father Brennan was very much wrought up an& his indignation was plainly visible. Affer instructingthe teachers to return with the children into the church he retired to his residence. Father Brennan is not a man to be easily downed, and 1n an interview yesterday he remarked that he would win yet, He takes great exception to the notices posted conspicuonsly about his property warning people that aiphtheria is raging about the premises. One of the deputies remarked inciaentally he thought the board should have notices to the effect that, owing to the vrevalence of diphtheria in that sec- tion of the City, it was considered advisa- ble to close the schools and do away with the diphtheria warning. Father Brennan had been notified some wecks ago by the Board of Health that the closets in the yard of the St. Francis School were not the kind specified by the 1aw, and that gnent closets should replace immediately the stone vaults now in use. He promised that during the two weeks’ vacation at Christmas time he would at- tend to the matter, but the board consid- ered that tc delay meant much sickness and probably death caused from dipnthe- ria germs emanating from the stone Vaults, The Judiciary Committee of the Board of Education met yesterday forenoon and decided to enjoin the Board of Health from further interference.in the school affairs. The law firm of Sullivan & Sulli- van having been retained in the cases of Director Henderson, Father Brennan and Thomas Lowney, it was decided to employ the same firm. Ex-Judge Sullivan stated yesterday that the Board of Health was clearly in the wrong in arbitrarily declaring a empty schoolhouse to be infected with a conta- gious disease and posting guards at its doors to prevent entrance. “Acting under this presumption,’ said he, “*what is to prevent them from posting their prohibiting notices on any public or private building in this City and clearing such building of its inmates? What pro- tection has any man in his own house 1f the Board of Health may enter and turn him out of it? The board bases its autho- rity on section 3028 of the health and quar- autine laws, where it reads that it is vested with power to define, deterniine and ad- judge whatshall constitute a nuisance and a menace to pubiic bealth; but is either one of those schooinonses a public nni- sance? Ii the School Directors are guilty of maintaining a nuisance then they may be proceeded against in the manner pro- vided for, not by locking schuolhouse i They were doors and turning thé pupils loose on the streets. ““Now section 30 of order 1601 says in effect that placards or notices may be placed on the doorway of any bouse in- fected by contagious disease, and that it is & misdemeanor to remove them. Has the Board of Health proven that the Mis- sion school buildings are infested with diphtheris# when not a single pupil is known to be ill, or to have been exposed to the disease? If the posting of those notices was illegal, then the removal of them was not, and neither Director Henderson nor Father Brennan was guilty of a misdemeanor. “This is not the first time the courts have checked the arbitrary work of the Board of Health. I have here in_ these New York reports several cases where they have been called down hard, and I believe the Superior Court of tkis State will rule along tae same line in this case. The Board of Health is an excellent and ! a necessary body, but it must respect the rights of the citizens. - Moreover, the Board of Health must not infringe on the rights of the Board of Education under the mere presumption that the latter is maintaining a public nuisance, simply be- cause a schoolhouse stands 1n a district where sickness abound-.” Attorney Matt Sullivan was more out- spoken in his strictures upon the. action of the health authorities. . “It was a high-handed proceeding,” said he, *‘to place those warning notices on the doors, and those inspectors on the steps of those buildings: “But we will restrain the Board of Health from proceeding further in this matter and we will have its irespassing guards removed. The board is interfering with the rights of the public and with the duties of the teachers and the Board of Education. We will file our papers to- morrow,” **This is the first Board of Health that ever went directly to work,’” said a mem- ber of that body yesterday. ‘‘Conse- uently a large number of people in the Jity who have received the attentions of the healtn inspectors are sore. The health ordinances of San Francisco are the most lenient of any large city in the United States. We have here copies of those sanitary laws and have carefully com- pared them with ours. The peoyle will learn soon that the Board of Health 1sa body that cannot be trifled with. *Those who have some doubt as to its power should notice the foliowing para- graph of our health and quarantine jaws: Section 3033.

OAKLAND, Can, Dec. 2—The West Oakiand Improvement Club at last night’s meeting passed a resolution disapvroving W e garbage crematory on Peralta strcet. In a resolution which was unani- mously passed, the club referred to the fact that at the present time negotiations are z)ending for the establishment of a public park in West Oakland, and that it 1s absurd to have a garbage crematory and a public_park anywhere near each other. Colonel Joun P. Irish is one of tbe most energetic members of the leazue, and for many years he has worked hard to sap- press the marsh nuisance. Messrs. Kee- nig, Henneberry and Irish were appointed a committee to look into the matter. Stole Diamonds in Daylight. . OAKLAND, CaL., Dec. 2.—A daylight robvery of diamonds took place yesterday from a San Pablo-avenue store. While the proprietor, W. B. Greenebaum, was at lunch the siore was in charge of E. R. King, & watchmaker. A colored man about 30 years of age entered and asked to be shown some diamond rings. He had been there several days previously and talked about the diamonds and said his name was Watson. He called again yesterday and after ne had left a large solitaire and a cluster ring were missing. The matter was reported to the police and it is believed that the thief was a . professional operator from San Francisco. ; Attached for a Judgment, OAKLAND, CaL, Dec. 2.—The real es- tate belonging to George S, Montgomery, the wealthy Salvationist of East Oakland, was levied upon to-day in behalf of City Clerk Tompkins and wife for $12,500.

The Estuary Bridg Must Be Completed Next August and th 0id Ones Removed. It was practically settled yesterday that a magnificent steel bridge to accommo- date the traffic between Oakland and Ala- meda and both broad and narrow gauge trains of the Suuthern Pacific Company will be built across the estuary forming Oakland harbor. The bridee must be constructed, no matter what its character may be, before next August, for the War Department has settled that detail. Now the only cause for delay is a study of the law as it affects the power of Supervisors of Alameda County to join with the rail- way company in building a bridge for county and railway uses conjointly. There was a conference yesterday after- noon between the supervisors of Alameda County and General Manager Kruttschfiitt and W. G. Curtis, engineer of the main- {enance of way department of the South- ern FPacific Company. The Supervisors came to this City and met the railway of- ficials in their offices at Montgomery and Market streets. The company declared itself in favor of meeting the Alameda company representatives half way. That is, it would build the proposed steel bridge in conjunction with the Supervisors, each paying a share of the cost. As a result of the meeting the Alameda Supervisors went home weil pleased with their day’s work, for the reason if the law presents no obstacles their plan to join the railway company in this worx will save considerable money to the county. But one matster still’ remains to be de- termined—that is the exact location of the bridge, wkich would suit the partiesdi- rectly interested and the public as well. Mr. Curtis explained the various points involved in the whole matter yesterday. He said: “There is a bridge at Webster street used by the county as a thoroughfare and by the narrow-gauge road, and another at Alice street used exclusively by the broad- gauge line to Alameda. “‘Several months ago the Secretary of ‘War notified the owners of both bridges that they were obstructing navigation, and that the bridges should be rebuilt, each with a drawbridge having a span of at least 150 feet. “A meeting. of the officials of Alameda County and of the Southern Pacific Com{ pany was held in the office of Colonel Suter, at which a formal protest was made against the span order. The rail- ‘way company said it would obey any or- der of the Secretary of. War, but when it built a bridge replacing the one at Alice street, it would make it large enough to carry both the narrow and broad gauge trains. The result was the Secretary of ‘War ordered that both bridges should be built before August 20, 1897. “The railroad company has informed-the Secretary of War of their intention to comply with his order, and at the same time askea for his approval of outline plans of the proposed bridge submitted. “This morning the Supervisors of Ala- meda County called on Mr. Kruttschnitt and myself. “They stated that they would be willing to join with the railroad com- pany in making one bridge serve all pur- poses in place of the existing bridges. “The railroad company was agreeable to this proposition, and the county officials are to ascertain what can be done under the law to lawfuliy join in the construc- tion of a bridge for the common use of the pubiic and the railway company. “‘Other conferences will be held when the Alameda Supervisors desire to hold them looking to the adju tment of the matter. Of course this puts our other plan in the air. Anyhow, I can say that the propose! pridge will be of steel, about 375 feet long, with a draw of 150 feet. “The mot.ve power for the araw will be furnished by steam, hydraulic or-electric- ity, but this isa detail to be determined later. The bridge wili be very large and rest on masonry piers.” Dr. Gibbon’s Dispensary, 625 KEARNY ST.
