AKLAND, CaL., Jan. 20.—Many years ago Mrs. Wagner and Harry Roberts were lovers in an Eastern viilazes As school inldren they were s<weetnearts. Bug heir ways led them apart and they did 10t meet for many years. ‘The little girl became Mrs. Majors, wife of Majors who was hanged some years ago, and later married John Wakner, from whom she has been divorced.

Jan. 20.—Lowms A. Mublner was sentenced to-day to ten years at St. Quentin for the murder of Jennie Lewis 10 August of 1895, The case went to the Supreme Court because Judge ¥Frick refused to accept the verdict of manslaughbter, on the ground that the evi- dence justified a verdiet of maurder in the first degree. The Supreme Court decided that the verdict of the jury must bs sus- tained. Vhen asked if he knew of anything why he should not be sentenced, Muhlner re- plied: “‘No, sir; but I would preier to go 1o San Quentin.”’ Judge Ogden then sen- tenced him to ten years at that place, and the prisoner quietly and without emotion said, “Thank you.” An Ebell Gathering.

Fireman Cornish and the In- jured Lady Passenger Will Recover, If 'the Signals Worked Enginc\ur Carroll of the Sunset Did Not See Them. OsKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, 908 Broadway, Jan. 20. } The investigation made to-day 1nto the cause of last night’s collision between the Bunset limited and Berkeley local proved one of two things. Either the block sys- tem which is laid from the pier to Six. teenth street is not infailible, as it is sup- | posed to be, or else Engineer Carroll of the | Sunset aid not obey the signal. Tower Man Meyers declares that the system is in good working order and worked all right last night, while Carroll | says that he did not see the danger signal, | which certainly must have been snowing | while the Berkeley train was standing on the main line. The block system is very | simple and is considered to make rear-end collisions impossible. Every few hundred feetis a block and as a train passes along the signals work automatically—thus, if the Berkeley train had come to a stand- still at block 8, the danger signal would still be showiig at block 6 in its rear. As T MM, ported to be in the ne:ghborhood of $1000. The report of Manager McDonnell showed that the book’s net indebiedness is $500. An auditing committee, consisting of J. Hubert Mee, Arthur Elsion, Fred Magee, Owen Case and J. C. Jurgens, was ap- pointed to investigate the accounts of the manager and to assume general charge of the annual’s finances. The class is deter- mined to liquidate all the claims held against it, and as a means of raisin money a general assessment will be levied. A rumor has been afloat that the faculty would not permit the class to graduate until the debt was paid, but a number of the prolessors deny the allegation. The class elected the following officers for class day : President, J. McWade; vice- presigent, Miss Penwell; secretary, Ed Sherman; treasurer, E. 0. Allen; ser- geant-at-arms, L. D. Baun, Gone to Sacramento. BERKELEY, CAL, Jan, 20.—President Martin Kellogg, Professor William Carey Jones, Professor M. W. Haskell and sev- eral other members of the university faculty went to Sacramento on the after- noon train to-day at the call of Regent Reinstein, to meet the Legislative Com- mittee on Buidings and Finance, with the view to urging the proposed appro- priations for the university. U. C. ¥aseball Manager. BERKELEY, CaL., Jan. 20.—L. A. Far- rish 98 was to-day elected baseball mana- ger by the athl tic executive committee of the State University to succeed A. F.

Robert Whitaker of the The Wreck at Sixteenth-Street Station Between the Sunset Limited and the Berkeley Local as It Appeared Just After the Collision, BUTTERS 1S RETURNED and German Backing for | His Schemes. Has Gatherrd Much Valuable Infor. mation Among the Mines in S uth Africa. OAKLAND, CarL, Jan. 20. — Charles Butters returned to Oakland from his South African trip to-night. On his way from the East he was joined by his| brother and his wife and by some other members of the surveying party, and on their arrival at their home at Ptedmonll they were tendered a reception which was attended by nearly a hundred guests. “You bave heard all about our experi- ence in that Government hotel at Johan- nesburg,” said Mr. Batters, laughing. “It was not very pleasant, but Captain Mein, who is also a resident of Oakland now, has | told you all aboutit. However, we ob-| tained valuable information about the munes, and since my return to America | we have been engaged in a very important task. ‘‘We believe that there are untold quan- tities of low-grade ores in Colorado, Utah and California that can be worked at a profit if capital can be obtained to put up the necessary plant, We ate convinced that our system of making these low- erade ores pay has solved the difficulty, | and our syndicate has unlimited British and German backing. | *We have just made a very extended | survey of mining districts in Utah and | Colorado, and we are convinced that we | can revolutionize the industry so far as| low-grade ores are concerned. We bhave | no experimenting ‘to do, as all tnat has b en done, and we are prepared to com- mence work. We shall probably buy up large territories that produce ore that has hitherto not been paying, and as soon as | we commence operations it will beon a large scale. “Qur field of operations is unlimited as the mines in Sonth Africa and Ausiralia can be worked in addition to those in this country.” s Mr. Butters will remain here for some weeks and will then leave on another short tour. Mr. Butters is one of the seven Ameri- | cans who, with John HMays Hammond, were arrested by the Boer Government be- cause of their affiliation with the reiorm movement in_tiue Transvaal last year at the time of Dr. Jamison’s raid. Butters was released May 20, fined $1000 and obliged to give a bond not to interfere in the political affairs of the Boer Govern- ment for three years. He irtroduced in that country for the Rand Central Ore Re- duction Company, of which he is the managing director, a new electrical pro- cess for the treatment of refractory ores. During the past season 214,000,000 bushels of grain and flour were carried into the port of Buffalo,sufficient to provide full car- goes for 600 of the largest ships in the European carrying trade. [ a train goes ahead the danger signal falls and another one appears in the next block. Consequently a danger signal must certainly have been seen by Engineer Car- roll when he was far enough a<tern of the Berkeley local 1o have prevented a colli- sion, This is the view taken by trainmen and which the engineer conradicts. Mr. ‘Wilder has heard all sides of the c: to- aay, but has done nothing as yet to ini- cate what verdict he has arrived at in the premises. ; Fireman Cornish, who jumned from his engine when he saw the collision was un- avoidable, was resting easily at Fabiola to-day. One arm is broken and he is severely injured about the stomach. But it is believed he will recover. Mrs. Lauritzen, who was in the rear of the local train, is suffering severely from in- juries to the svine, but her condition is not critical. The wrecked car was removed early this morning and there was no irregularity in | the Berkeley service on account of the accident. There has as yet been no reason given satisfactory to the railroad officials why Towerman Meyers held the Berkeley local on the main line instead of giving it the signal to go ahead. Mr. Wilder went to San Francisco to-day | to consult at the head office of the railroad company, and under all the circumstances it is considered likely that both the engineer und the towerman will be held partly responsible. REPUBLICANS ORGANIZE, Preliminary Steps i aken Toward Berke- ley’s Municipal Xlection, to Be Held in April. BERKELEY, Cawn, Jan. 20.—The Re- publicans of Berkeley decided last night to nominate a party ticket in the comiag election, and appointed a city central committee, consisiing of six citizens from Ward Three and three from each of the other wards, to have charge of the cam- paign.

ALAMEDA, CaL., Jan. 20.—John Cum- mins, 8 mining and real estate speculator, who came here two weeks ago from San Francisco, died very suddenly last even- ing at the residence of E. H. Porter, 448 Central avenue, of fatty degeneration of the heart and the rupture of the aorta.

Supervisor Rottanzi Finds Two Men Working Where One Worked Before, Supervizor Rottanzisays that he hason successive days fonnd two street laborers at work on Soulh Park at an expense of $5 per day, where formerly there was but one man, and he, Thomas Clancey, cared exclusively for that breathing space and pleasure ground at acost $250 per day. He wonders at this, and 1s inclined to think that the election of Clancey, asa gardener, would have bsen more economi- cal. Clancey has so long looked out for the area that it has become known to many as Clancey’s park. VANISHED, MAN AND HIS MACHINE C. Demetrak, a Berkeley Inventor, and His Many Devices. Disastrous Combination of In- venting and the Proiuce Business. The Sheriff S:iz:s His Business and There Is No Trace of the Iogenious Greek. BERKELEY, Car., Jan. 20.—Where is C. Demetrak?is a question that many Berkeleyans are asking just now, for the well-known Greek appears to have shaken the dust of the university town from his feet for goud. Demetrak conducted a leading produce- store on Shattuck avenue, the door of which now bears a Sheriff’s lock. Inci- dentally the merchant dabbled in quite a variety of otber enterprises, the most in- teresting of which was the construction of an airship, in which a number of bis friends took much concern. Now both inventor and ship have disappeared, and those who were watching the Greek’s ex- periments are wondering what was the final resuit. Demetrak spent many Sundays in test- ing his device for flying. He would rise early in the morning, pack his machine in a wagon and arive far out into the Contra Costa hills, where there are no houses, and then spend hoursin experi- menting. Just what the energetic Greek’s plan was is not known, but it is said that light gases were employed as a means of raising his vessel above the ground. Demetrak claimed that he had already partially succeeded in tests of his ma- chine, and he confidently expected to be making trips through the atmosphere in the very near future. Another of his enterprises that attracted wide attention was that of entering the aged sprinter, Theodorianitis, in a foot- | race against any one of his age, orover 50, from San Francisco to S8an Jose. Demetrak’s Berkeley store was sold by him to Georze Fundas, who was his chief clerk. Immediately after the transfer came several attachments on tne stock for debts alleced to be owed by Demetrak. The new proprietor was allowed to keep the place open for a few days and then it was closed. Now Fundasis looking fora way ot getting recourse. He claims to have grounds fora suit against the Sheriff for inlury to his business. J. Demetrak is the president of the Heliemi Benevolent Society of California. His wiereabouts at the present time isa matter of much concern to many people of the coileve town, where he is widely known. He has not been seen about the classic shades of Berkeley since a week ago last Friday evening. ISTALLATGHS STILL O Obligating the Officers of Various Fraternal Organiza- tions.

A delegation® of officers and members of Argonaut Council have signi- fled their intention to be present and witness the ceremony. ‘The fnstitation of this couneil has created a frienaly rivalry between it and the parent conncil, Argonaut, which has proved beneficial to both councils, as it has actuated the members of each t0 work amoug their friends and secure candidates for ad: mission. And this spirit of rivairy has created a teeling of interest in the workand conse- quently the meetings are made more inter- esting and entertaining for visitors than they had been in the past. The Royal Arcanum is rapidly approaching the 200,000 mark and at the ratio in which increases have been made in the past few months it l0oks as if that figure will be reached by the first of next May.

He Cannot Oust Two of the Police Commissioners. . The State Supreme Court has sat down upon N, 8. Wirt,-an attorney, who made an attempt to oust Police Commissioners Alvord and Tobin from their positions. Several weeks ago Wirt filled in the Su- preme Court,.in the name of The People by N. 8. Wirt, an application for a writ of mandamus to compel Governor Budd to appoint two Police Commissioners to fill the places of Commissioners Alyord and Tobin. The Supreme Court vesterday dis- missed the apolication and threw the case out of court in this fashion: Tois is an_application or notice for a per- emptory writ of mandate to the Governor of California to appoint two Police Commission- ers for the City and County of San Francisco. The Aitorney-General moves to dismiss the proceeding upon the ground that the relator has received no authority to sue in the name of the people of the State, and that he is not Rimselfa party beneficially fiterested in any sense that distinguishes him from other citizens of the State, The grounds of the motion are conceded, and the motion must bz granted.
