THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, APRIL 19 1897 7 SALOON CLOSING IS IN THE BALANCE The New Council Indirectly Will Decide the Matter. Apologetic Government Leads to All Manner of Inconve- nience and Doubt An Argument That Is Novel Against the Buiding at Present of More C:unty Roais. 0ARLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,) 908 Broadway, April 18. § Ihe saloon-closing proposition which | a itated this city to such a great degree the e i a month ago can pow be pose with the new Council. This 0 say that the present Council will take any cognizance of the mat- ter at all, nor can any direct action be ex- | pected of them, as they will certainly tol- | w the desire of the people as manifested at the polls, which was not in javor of | 9 cloring at that time. Indirectly, however, the City Council | will decide this matter during their two years in office. Although the popular will was not in favor of absolute clusing, | & change of 500 votes would have altered | result. More than this number, how- ever, are positive favor of keeping | saloons out of certain resident sections of | Oakland, and it is the people who will de- | cide the question the next time it is put to | tie popuiar vote. One of these districts is Twenty-third | svenue. For several years residents in | is section have successfully opposed all itions for granting licenses. Within | the past week, and almost immediately | the new Council took office, it is very ntthat the people who are anxious oons at Twenty-third avenue | ned to make another attempr. | 1alf a dozsn applications ior | ncenses in that district have b the City Clerk, and as usual, a zed effort will be made to prevent | issuance. Should the will of the ty of residents in this district be op- here is no doubt that when the question of saloon ! shall again be voted on they wil y themse idly 16 tem perance people and throw e majority. 1iisin this manner he present Council can be said to 1g proposition in their keep- | them One of the most conservatively pro- | gressive men of Oskland takes a unique and decidedly practical view of the new boulevard proposition to connect two ex- isting roads neer Ciaremont. He says that, although no city can have too many good rosads, it is a very easy matter for her 1o have 100 many bad ones. At this time, instead of spending $5000 of | the county’s money upon building a new | section of Toad, for which there would be no | adequate funds to keep it in repair, it | would be far more economical to spend that amount of money on the existing | driveway much in the same neighbor- | hood, which is at present absolutely im- passable for one-half of the year. At the present time,”’ be said, ‘‘we | have more roads and streets than we can | sfford to keep in repair. While it isa | very commendable act on the part of the | Merchants’ Exchange to foster any under- taking that wouid tend to attract people | 1o this city, it is also necessary to exercise | common prudence. If all the county | Toads that are now open were in first-ciass condition we should have all the scenic | ves that we should want. I have care- inspected this road, and, slthough it e to my property, 1 will state t $30,000 would need to be expended before it would be a thoroughly good driveway for its whole distance. Five nd dollars would be simply thrown away. | I think that on a littie consideration | the majority of my fellow-merchants will | take my view of the matter.” | At different times during the past four | years Oakland has seen a good dealof | at may be termed apologetic govern- ment. Ordinances which have been duly passed and which should take effect *‘on and after their passage” have been per- mitted to periodica!ly slumber and to be enforced spasmodically instead of persist- ently. This is particularly the case with the ordinances prohibiting Inickle in the slot machines; requiring the hitching of borses on certain streets; riding bicycles on sidewalxs, and permitting grass to grow on the sidewalks in all parts of the city. These ordinances, presumably, are very right and proper or they would not have been passed, and having been passed it is presumably the duty of the Police Depariment to enforce them in all places and at all times, This, however, bas not been done and e negligence cannot be laid entirely to the Chief of Police. It has been custom- ary fordifferent Boards of Police Commis- sioners to instruct the Chief of Police at various times to enforce certain ordi- nances. This, of course, wouid seem to indicate that unless special orders were given these ordinances should be per- mitted to remain inoperative. Conse- quently when a spasm of reform, so cailed, seizes the Board of Works, citizens who have long been permitted to disobey ordinances with impunity consider them- selves ager.eved and opyressed when per- emptorily arrested ior refusing to comply with these restrictions, This is altogether wrong. 1o more righ A bicycle has | to knock a passenger down on the sikewalk at ona per.od of the year | than anotber. An unhitchad horse isas | likely to run away and trample somebody under foot in January as in June; patcies of weeds are no more attractive in front of residences in winter than in summer, and a nickel-in-tue-slot mazhine, it it be an immoral agency, is no less so on Bunday than on Saturday. During the last few days special orders bave gone forth to rest all offendere against the weed and slot machine ordinances. This is all right, but for several months past school girls, cmong others, have bzen arrested by officers in private clothes for stealing a ride on the sidewak with their wheels and have been required to put up $2 to ob- tain their release. Taking all these things into consideration, it 1s but just that rall these ordinances <hould be en- forcea all of the time or else repealed. There certainly is nothing suggesiive of good government in passing laws and al- Towing their enforcement to be left to the discretion of the Board of Works and the police, as has been the practice up to the present time.

Spec PREACHED I3 FULL DRESS The “Booth of the Pulpit” Opeas a Mission at the Ceatral Christian Church. His Unusual Costume Attracted Far Less Attention Than His Ideas on the Foundation of Scripture OAKLAND OFFICE §. 908 Br ~ FRaNCisco CALL, | dwa., Aprii 18. § Rev. Thomas Bover of Chicago began a series of evangelistic sermons last right in the Central Christian Church, of which Rev. Edwards Davis is minister. The sub- ject of the “Booth of the pulpit” was *“The | Impregnable Rock of Scripture.” As sannounced, the preacher appeared in ull evening dress, ana his manner was such as to indicate a post-prandial speech, with possibly a song, ratter than a ser- mon. Not long sfter he bezan to speak, how- ever, the immense audience forgot the un- usual apparel. He spoke, in part, as fol- lows: The Bibie is. It purports to be from God, It h,a redemptive bow that spans the universe of God and saves everything from the diszrace of serving no purpose. It is a microscopic, telescopic, kalel- doscopic fact, & connecting link between dust ana Divirity. It abides and survives and en- dures.

The first cricket maich of the season in the Hunter-Harrison cup contest was play- ed at Alameda yesterday, the competing sides being the Alameda ana Pacific club elevens. While the scoring done by both sides was anything but remarkable, owing to lack of practice, the game was a most interesting one. Captain Sawell of the Pacifics won the toss and sent his oppo- nents in. Young Ward and Hellman played useful innings of sixteen apicce, but the rest of the combination were dis- missed with comparative ease, for the side’s total only reached three score and This score, nowever, proved ade- nd history as shown ities and individu- to reach it by eight runs, in spite of Wise- man’s clean hit winnings of ninetzen and Sewellls_score, which, by the way, was luck. The fielding on both sides was rather lax and the bowling of the defeated team, es- | pecially in the second inning, was most deplorable. The two Wards trundied ad- mirably for the victors.

At all of the churches there was a wealth of flowers and good music. Easter lilies and California poppies banked by dense foliage and relieved with delicate wisteria were the materials almost ex- clusively used for decorative purposes.

The body was disinterred this afternoon from the potier's field and reconsigned to the grave in San Francisco, beside his father. Son and fatuer of San Leandro went out hunting in a skiff twenty-one days ago, and not returning a search was made two days aiter and the body of the father was recovered near San Leandro. How they met their death is unknown, of cour: but the natural assumption is that the boat capsized with them. The son was aced 21 years and the identification was by his sister-in-law. e ————— AMONG THE WHEELMEN. Club Runs of the Bay Citys and Road Club Yesterday.

Sears, the Proprietor, and Jobn Mclatosh Badly Wounded. The Trouble Arcse Over a Dollar That McIntosh’s Friend Took From On: of the Giris John Mclntosh, a horse-trainer living on O'Farrell street, near Leavenworth, and a friend were in the saloon and dance ball, 105 Grant avenue, early yesterday morning, when a fight took place, during which blood flowed freely. The combatants were McIntosh and his friend and William M. Sears, the proprie- tor of the saloon. McIntosh is in the Re- ceiving Hospital and says he has no recol- lection of the affray, and Bears is detained in the City Prison. Sears says that when he was closing up the place between 5and 6 o’clock McIn- tosh and his friend were there, one of them being asleep. They had both been drinking hard, *I paid one of the girl waiters, the last to leave,” said ‘Sears, “$225, and the young man picked a dollar up and put it in his pocket. The girl tried to get him to return it, but he put her off, and she complained to me. I went up to him and asked him for the dollar, but he was in- suiting, and made a pass at me with his closed fist. I struck him, dislocating my little fin ver, ‘‘He awoke his friend and both of them came at me. I was struck in the eye and nose, which bied freely, and as I backed benind the bar, I was struck on the fore- head with a heavy match-holder, which knocked medown. ~ Asthings were getting uncomfortable, I seized a club and made good use of 1t upon the one nearest me.

MecIntosh and Sears were taken to the Receiving Hos- pital ana Dr. Hartley attended to their McIntosh was in an unconseious condition and remained so for several hours. He had five lacerated wounds on his scalp, which was covered with lumps, and he was suffering from concussion of the brain. Sears had a Incerated wound on his sca!p and forehead. the little finger of his right hand was dislocated and his left eye was discolored and swollen and the size of his nose was considerably increased. After his wounds were dressed he was taken to | the prison. McIntosh's friend, who was apparently the cause of all the trouble, made his es- cape. Sears was last nizht booked by Police- men Gillen and J. B. Baldwin on 8 chargs of assault with a deadly weapon. A SUCCESSFUL FAILURE. Professor Earl Barnes of Stanford Uni- versity Addressed the Socialists Last Evening. ‘Washington Hall on Eddy street was filled last evening as the American Branch of the Socialist Labor party had adver- tised a lecture by Professor Earl Barnes who is at the head of the department for the education of teachers at the Leland Stanford Jr. University. Professor Barnes took for his discourse the paradoxical sub- ject, ““A Successful Failure.” Ina clear, unbiased manner he toid the story of the life of Robert Owen who lived, in theearly part of his century, in England and who established a sort of co-operative colony at New Harmony on the Wabash River, In- disna. ‘The story briefly toid was this Owen, while a yery wealthy man, was s great lover of the human race, and reco.- nizing the very slow progress of the work- ing ciasses in the line of mental, moral and physical advancement, spoke what he believed to be the truth, and in so doing laid the blame for that condition of affairs where he believed it belonged—at the door of the Chrisiisn Church, then one of the most powerful and influential institutions of England. As expected, he was frowned upon by the English people, and be came to the United Btates to work out his Utopian ideas. Owen purchased the property of a defunct German colony on the Wabash and blished a new co- operative institution. He labored in the cause of free speech, the menial cultivation of all—particulariy the laboring classes—the more intelligent rearing of children and, above all, the brotherhood of man. While his great wealth lasted the colony prospered, but it was not self-sustaining, and when the founder departed, broken-down and poor, it failed. The people would not hold to- gether. Such was the failure, but the speaker pointed out the lines on which the banner of success was planted. Out of the ruins of New Harmony sprung another small settlement, whose inhabitants are pros- perous, although their system of govern- ment was drawn from the old--many of the principles that Robert Owan estab- lished. Many of the brightest teachers and scholars of the Eastern and Middle States have for their ancestors the original fol- lowers of Owen and they are enlighten ing the world with their wisdom and thought. Thus ont of & failure success has resulied, Preparations are still going on for the celebration of Irternational Labor day on May 1and a splendid entertainment at Metropolitan Temple is promised. The socialists nave resumed their street meetings and at_every gathering able speakers address the crowds. This eveu- ing an open-air meeting will be beld on Pine and Kearny streeis. SECRECY BAOKEN BY STERN LAW Filing a Marriage License "Reveals a Recent Elopement. Two Young People and a Friend Go to a Pastor at Martinez Pledged to Secrecy, but Bound to Record the Certificite Within the L-gal Period. OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL‘} 908 Broadway, April 18, News of an elopement that took place on the 14th of last month has just been receiyed in this city from Martinez, which is now becoming the fashionable place for young Ozkianders who desire to assume marital responsibilities without publicity. | Harry C. Ellis, a clerk o this city, and Miss Susie Downer, who resides on San Paulo avenue, have been engaged for some time, and last month they made up their minds that they would get married. They did not care to have the young lady’s parents know of the matter until it be- came necessary, and so they went to Mar- tinez, where the ceremony was performed. Rev. E. W. Stoddard was found at his study, after the young couple had pro- cured the license, and as everything was straightforward the pastor married the young elopers. They were accompanied by Harry Griffing, who is an acquaintance of both the young people, and he acted the part of a witness. The trio im- pressed upon the minister the necessity of absolute secrecy, and asked him how long a time could elapse before it would be necessary to make the affair known. Rev. E. W. Stoddard looked at the cer- tificate and saw that it was dated March 14. He told the young folks that the law nuly permitted him to retain a certificate thirty days after performing the marriage ceremony before he was required to file it with the County Recorder. Last Wedne:day the thirty days ex- pired, and Mr. Stoddard, being unable to | keep the young folks' adventure a secret | any longer under penalty of going to jail | himself, filed the marriage certificate. To-day knowledge that it had been filed reached Oskland and the relatives and | iriends of Mr. and Mrs. Ellis were greatly | surprised to learn of the wedding. Tha reason for secrecy Fvinio the pasior was rather practical. Tuey confiGed to him that it would be necessary for the young | laay to remain with her parents at leasta | month, at the end of which time lheyi would have completed their arrangements for bousekeeping. Now the secret is out Mr. and Mrs, Ellis are receiving the con- gratulations of their friends. SIR KIIGHTS WORSHIP, Two Commanderies of Templars Attend the Easter Services. Appropriate Exercises at the First Congregutional and at Trinity Episcopal Churche: In pursuance of the custom of the order, California Commandery and Golden Gate | Commandery each attended Easter serv- | ices Iast evening, The former body was | the guest of the Trinity Episcopal Chureh, | where a special children’s service was the order of the evening. This service was | deemed by the rector, Rev. George Ed- ward Walk, peculiarly appropriate for, as | be pointed out in his address, the boasted | chivalry of the order could find no better exercise than in the protection of the weak and the innocent. And what more innocent, he asked, than the little chil- dren who had gathered together to wor- ship in the house of God? Although no peculiar ritualistic services had been arranged for, the Knights par- ticipated in the regular exercises, and the scene was particularly impressive as the | Knights, with drawn swords, the hilts ex- tended toward the altar, repeated with the chbildren the Aposties’ creed. No formal uddress wes delivered by the rector, he siating that the children whom he had brought together was the only sermon he had to offer the commandery. He dwelt upon the sacred character of their vows of ploty and chivalry, and spoke touchingly of their duty toward the little ones. A song service was rendered by the chil- dren. The decorations of Trinity were elabor- ate and magnificent. The most striking piece was a great cross and crown of white cameilias ana roses contributed by Mra. ‘William Alvord in memory of departed friends. A rustic cross was outlined with incandescent lights. Palms wore effectively distributed about the sanctuary. Golden Gate Commandery worshiped at the First Congregational Church, where Sir Robert Ash, prelate of the comman- dery, and Rev. George C. Adams, pastor, officiated. The services at this place were ritualistic, being composed largely of re- sponsive reading by the Sir Knights. The choir rendered exquisite and appropriate 8-lections. Dr. Adams, in his address, recounted the historv of the tempie at Palestine. He explained the saying of Christ that he could rebuild the temple in three days. ‘The temple of the human heart is Christ’s natural abiding place,” he said. “*And when the disciples Chri 50 from the grave they remembered what he had said. For three days, according to the Jewish rackoning, he had lain in the god e. ‘He spoke of the temple of his y,' said John. He spoke of that tem- ple which honors God most.” The speaker referred to the resurrection as God’s interpreier, and showed how little by little events thus disclose the truth to us which is hidden as is the minerals in the mountains. The Knights, who were under the com- mand of Sir Charles Murphy, made a most impressive appearance. TWO0 BOY BURGLARS. Robert MoEay and John Murphy Caught Looting & Till in a Fruit Store.

When be is confirmed Lieu- tenunt-Colonel Jacob Kline, who is now the senior lieutenaut-colonel, will be promuted colonel, and tuke charge of the Presidio post. The po’ition, had Colonel Snafter’s confirma- tion occurred a week ago, would have faiien to Lieutenant-Colonel Henry C.

The law is that the senior licutenant-colonel fills the first vacancy of a coloneley.

A short time back a well-dressed stran- ger called at a fashiorable jeweler's shop in Paris and selected a gold wateh and chuin, value £15. Placing on the counter bis apparently well-lined purse, the cus- tomer ‘‘tried on” the watch and chain in order to judge of the effect, when, sud- denly glancing out of the door, he shouted “Panch! Punch! come here—come here, you brute!” As the dog did not obey he ran out after it. Punch was a clever ac- complice, and ran all the faster the louder his master calied.
