WAR AG Doctors Talk About r Admission to Sickrooms and Hospitals. | OAKLAND, CaL., April 22.—Considera- | ble aiscussion has taken place of late be- | cause of a report that has reached here from Sir Morel Muckenzie of London. The report states that it is very detrimental to patients in hospitals or sickrooms to bave flowers in the room. All kinds of horri- ble germ and bacilii stories are told and the matter has been agitated by some of the local doctors, especially in connection Fabiola Hospital, to which flowers are freely sent every day. Dr. Crowley of the State Board of Health | when asked for an opinion on the matter - AINST FLOWERS. ih Dr. D. D. Crowley Thinks Pro- fessional Men Should Not Discuss Trifles. poohpoohed the whole idea. “Timeis too valuable attending to matters of import- ance to warrant a discussion on any such trivial.matter as flowers in a sickroom. No one supposes that flowers are left in a sickroom till they become rotten and tne water becomes stagnant, and I think that instead of raiging a fuss about such a trifls members of alearned profession can de- vote their energy and time to matters of much more gravity.” ————— MUST HAVE OERTIFICATES. Political Methods in Insuring Busines to Cease. OAKLAND, Cav., Aprit 22.—The Ala- meda County Board of Fire Underwriters has decided that no brokerage or commis- sion will hereaiter be .paid by agents within the jurisdiction of the board un- less they were duly accredited or certifi- cated brokers. The decision was also arrived at that the compensation to such brokers shoula be the same as is paid in San Francisco. For a long time, it is ciaimed, people have interfered by taking businessto an insurance agent that would naturally have gone to him and then demanding commissions. This is the practice that the board desires to break up, and he; after no agent who does not hold a certifi- cate will be allowed to solicit business or receive commissions. ————— Run Over by the Cars.

GREATER OAKLAND, Alameda Does Mot Take Kindly to the Proposition t» Be Swallowed Up Bodily. ALAMEDA, CAL., April 22_The calm proposition of the Oakland politicians to swallow up Alameda in toto and make of component part of “Greater and”’ touches no responsive chord in tniscity. Rather does it arouse the ire of every one of the sixteen or seventeen thousand people who reside in Alameda and are proud of thei- little city. There is not a single “‘argument” that has been advanced in support of the move- ment that has any weight here. This city is well governed, taxes are not bigh pro. portionately to the benefits received an.t the people are proud of being known as residents of the model city., The an- nouncement of the Oaklanders that only politicians are opposed to the movement is received here with amusement, since it is well understood that it is really the DR. FRED PIERCE, Who Will Judge the Cat Section of the Dog Show. the owners will be put is that of benching and feeding. In this State, more eo than in many otherc, there are people who bave made a tpecially of breeding cats, and they own many valuable Angoras and Maitese. It has been decided to give | them an opportunity to show their pets, | and prizes will be awarded tothe lucky‘ ones. | Dr. Fred Pierce, the city veterinary surgeon, will be judge of the cats, and in | this line he is well known ali over the | countrv as a very efficient arbiter. | The bench show wili open the second | week of next month at the Exposition | building. It is attracting as much atten- | tion all over the Siate among owners of thoroughbred dogs as the show of the San Francisco Bench Ciub. In this city | there are many prominent dog-fanciers | and they will put all their pets on exhibi- tion. It 13 estimated that there will be 350 entries, including a sp-cial string of sixty magnificent St. Bernards. Dog-breeders in Btockton, SBacramento, San Jose, Los Angeles and the adjoining States are also | sending animals. | The California Collie Club of San | Jose has offered gold medals for the best | two California-bred collies. These prizes are to be competed fur only by the mem- | vers of the Collie Club. ‘Among the cats will be some fine ani- mals imported from Europe, and one ex- | hibitor has entered twelve Angoras of re- ' markable peauty. No ordinary house cats | will be accepted, as all animals must be | thoroughbred 1o secure recognition. BRIGHT CHERRY OUTLOOK Experts Report a Crop Which Will Be Thres Times as Large as Last Year. OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCIscO CarLy,) 908" Broadway, April 22 The present indications of the cherry | crep in this county are that it will be an exceptionally fine one. A great portion of the orchards from San Leandro to Niles are cherry orchards, and for five miles nothing can now be seen but thousands of cherry trees in full blossom. Within a radius of two and a half miles there are over 55,000 trees in full bloom, and every tree 1s described as being “onepreat snow- ball.” An examination of the blossoms lias been made, and it is stated that about | one-third of them is showing fruit and if | this be realized the trees will have all the | cherries they can possibly carry. In many orchards trees that have uot produced more than three to five boxes a season will from the present showing yisld ten | to fifteen boxes. 1. Beiger of San | Leandro, who has Jeased seventeen | orchards, inciuding 20,000 trees, expects a | zood crop and estimates that he will han- | dle about 150 tona. | Ail the varieties of cherries are equally good in appearance and this is quite un- common. Great improvement nas been made in pruning cherry trees in the past few years, and as a result the inside limbs are heavily laden with biossoms. This re- sult has partly been obtuined by sclentific methods of sprayine. Experts estimate the crop in the vicinity between Elmhurst and San Lorenzo at not less than 1100 ton: for the season. Cherries are always sure of a market, as home prices can be en- tirely conirotled by Eastern shipments and this knowledge has rendered cherry- rowers comparatively independent. The nneries are already buving all that are offered for sale, but the growers are de- manding good prices. Many improve- ments have been made in regard 10 ship- ving, and the cherry-growers are very con- fident of a succes-ful season. i e HOWARD'S NEW DILEMMA, Release! on a Charge of Murder, a Wife Now Appears. OAKLAND, CaL., April 22.—Jack How- ard, the molormun who wasacquitted yes- terday for complicity in the murder of Anna Johnson, will probably have to make an explanation. District Attorney Snook has received a letter from Oroville signed by Mrs, C. V. Howard. Itisas follows; Wil you kindly inform me 1f John A. How- politicians who are desirous of wider fields of operations who are most desirous of the consolidation. Alameda is not jealous of Oakland, does not dislike it, but ‘does not want it, either. It is content to move on in its own sphere and preserve its autonomy. There is ab- solutely no :entiment here in favor of consolidation. A LAND SPECULATOR. Arrested for Using the Mails to Adver- tise the Capitsl Hill Addition to Pasadena. ALAMEDA, Car, April 22.—Anson C. Potter of this city has been instrument: in causing the arrest of a town-lot oper- ator named E. T. Casey, of Pasadena, who is now under arrest on a charge of using the United States mails for fraudulent purpose: Casey obtalned title to forty acres of mountain near Pasadena and platted it on paper as the Capitol Hill A idition to Pasadena. He sent out most glowing descriptions of its desirability and man- aged to dispose of quile a number of lots at good prices. He got into communica- tion with Mr. Potter of this city and tried to persuade him to become a purchaer. But Potter was wary, and aiter receiving everal letters from Casey, telling about the desirability of the lots, the street im- provements, ‘ihe fine view, etc., he re- ferred the correspondence to the Uity Clerk of Pasadena, who told him the whole thing had been misrepresented. The United States authorities were then culled in, with the result that Casey was arrested for criminal use of the mails. Threw Up Her Job. ALAMEDA, Can, April 22.—At the meeting of the Board ol Library Trustees Tuesday night the position of assistant librarian, held by Miss Mary A.

PROAIBITION AS A TOWN-KILLER Chief Lloyd Says It Would Make a Wilderness of Oakland. Declares That Unnatura! Cond.- tions of Society Are More Harmfu! Than Drigk. Saloon-Clesing W.uld On'y H:lp to Increase the L quor Traific cf Acjicent Towas. OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, | 908 Broadway, Aprit 22, | Chief of Police Lioyd having been asked by a probibition paper published in the East some pointed questions regarding prohibition, he bas forwarded some answers that will no doubt cause much comment in this city, where the question was recently passed upon at the polls. In reply to the question as to what share of the police business arises from the use of intoxicating liquors in this city, Chiet Lloyd says thatdrink is far less respon- sible for crime and poverty than the un- natural conditions at presen: existing in society, He say No accurate estimate could be made of the proportion of poiice business arising from the use or abuse of intoxicating liquor, as in many instances crime really originatés from over-indulgence in liquor when no actual proof of that is at hand, and on the other hand 1quor 15 oftentimes apparent as a cause of the commission of crime wheu it really hed nothing to do with it. Ispeak now of what we class as misdemean- ors and minor crimes. Every year there are more people arrested for the crime of drunk- enness than for any ten other crimes, yet the yolice force has less troubie with the drunkard than with env other criminal. In this city in 1896, of 8066 arrests, 1216 were plain “drunks,” there were 170 baitery cases, mi of whicti were due to 1d 157 cases of disturbing the pesce 16 cases of aseault with a deadly weapon, al:o often attributed to liquor. Yet the department was kept in a constant state of terror for nearly two months by beard- less youths who were engaged in saie-cracking jobs mimost nigbtly. While [ reaiize ihe great harm growing out of over-indulgence in intoxicating liquor 1 am uot prepared to admit that a great amount of the important poiice business is due to that evil, s the most hudened, desperate and dan- gerous criminals we have are not addicted to arunkenness, and tence I cannot see that the absence of the open sui001 would materially change the status of po.ice business. Iniact, I am of tue opiuion that the great majority of dangerous criminals requiring large police forces are the direct outgrowth o our annatural social and economic conditions ihat breed poveriy, wantand despair in_the human heart. That men out of employment and unable 10 secure the necessaries of life in this land of pienty are the first causeof a much larger percentage of criminality than is the liquor evil. Thatit is man’s inhumanity to mau and our Government’s partnership in hat iphumunity ratner than man’s iuebriety that demands a large police foice in every city. This is the_opinion of your humble servani, and [ havenever been accused of being frienaly 10 rum. Chief Lloyd has very pronounced opinions of ‘the effect of probibition in Oskland. He says: The effect in Oakland, if all the saloons were 10 be closed, would be that our business woul be ruined, grass would, metuphorically speak ing, grow in_tne doorweys uf our business- houses, and neither drunkenness nor police business would decrease, for the simple rea- on that those who wanted liquor would get 1t n unbroken packages or would cross over io San Francisco,or g0 to Berkeiey or Alameda, our nearest neighbors, buy their liquos there and come back 1 Oaklaud to raise —. Pro- hibition in paiches wili never do anything but harm to the particuiar patch worked upon. if the reform’ could become general tuere might ultimately be ess demand for large numbers of policemen in all our cities, butit would require time to chauge people’s disposi- or rather {0 work the brimstone out of their syste Until economic conditions ure bettered. I am of the opinion that there will be little imjrovement in our criminal record, no maiter how much prohibition in patches appliéd 1 liquor. Irepeat that wanc and misery caused by unnatural conditions is agreaier projenitor of erime than liquor, in my opinion. PACHECO'S TREASURE.

When 12-year-old Edward Wardwell opened the door of his father’s room at 308 Bhotwell street yesterday morning to call him to breakfast he was horrified to find his father dead in bed and covered | with blood.

I was overcome by the smoke and heat and fell to the ground uncon- | scious, and on recovering my faculties founa myseli lying on a cot in the German Hospital | and sufféring from severe burns. | My rescue from a terrible and sudden death | seemed 10 me almost miraculous, ana after | giving thauks to heaven for my escape, I mus! be forever gratetul to M. J. Dolan, District En gineer, through whose courage and self-sacri fice I was rescued. As eye-witnesses have told me, he rushed into the burning building, and with almost increaible strength carried me, a | man welghing nearly 200 pounds, through smoke aud fire 1o the door, where he feil un- | conscious with his also unconscious burden. May God reward him witn long life. He is an ornament to the department, and it your honors should see fit to bestow ujon him some mark of your appreciation it could not be conferred upon a braver or worthier object. | As my burns disabie me, this letter 15 wrlt- ten by a friend, and I make my mark. The letter was ordered to be placed on record, and the probability is that District Engineer Dolan will be presented with the next Scannell medal for his brave action. ) ————— The Turkish language is said by schol- ars to be the softest and most musical language of modern times, being better adapted to the purpo-e of musical nota- tion and recitation than even tie Italian, — DIED.
