Members Will Stand by Their Presi- dent and a S:nsation Can Be Expected. Asa culmination of the formation of the California Breeders and Owners' Associa- tion a startling surprise was sprung in urf circles. Tnomas H. Williams Jr, president of the California Jockey Club, requested Wiliinm Boots & Son, owners of Eilmwood Stock Farm, to turn in to tke secretary the badges issued them us well as those of their employes and to vacate the stable occupied by the firm's big string of horses. As stated in yesterday’s issue of THE CAvrL, the new organization was assuming formidable proportions, and ihere was every reason to expect a confliet between this new association and one or possibly both of tbe local jockey ubs, The California Jockey Ciub threw a bomb- sheil, and the merry war is on in earnest. During the progress of the racing at Qakland irack yesierdey President Wil o ground to meet him in thedirectors’ room at the conclusion of the afiernoon sport, as he would like to have a little cnat with them on the present turf agitation. At the appointed time the room was fillea with horsemen, both California and the Middle West being well represented. The ciub’s president began by saying that he snpposed all present had read the morning papers regarding the Horsemen's Association, laying espe stress on the lengthy article vrinted in THE CALL. Mr. Williams said, among other 'hings, that neither he nor the California Jockey Club was antagonistic to the new movement, but thav they felt them-elves capabie of running their own affairs and could not afford 1o be dictated to. Continung he said that he thought the { movement a good one as long as its mo- | tives were pure ar.d devoted to the best | interests o the turf. There was no rea- son why there could not be perfect har- { mony Leiween the horsemen and ihe | raciug assoc ations. The president then said, to suow Los he held no animoa- | ity toward the Horsem-'n’s Associa- { tion, that a ter a peru-al o1 115 constituiion | and by-laws, if they accord=d with histurs | views, he would purchase a horse and ap- | ply for admis-ion to the orzanizaiion. | This created a round of appiause, which | was led by Charles Boots. Aiter some few more wurds of minor importance, Mr. Wiiliams added that ne thought it best in order to further the best interests of his club to take up the badges held by o.e owner. (o] of respect to the owner, however, he wou'd not then mention his name, but | would see him in theoffice at the termina- | tion of the meeting. Most of those a:- sembled then started for the train. The curious waited ard ask-d, *“Who is the proscribed owner?’ Surmise had it correct, Caarles T. Boots, temporary president of the California Breeders’ and Owners’ Association, was ihs man re- fe:red to. Immediately there was a great commo- tion and balf a dozen owners started toward the office to give up their badges also, but Mr. Boots pieaded and immedi- ate action was deferred. E mwood stock farm at Milpitas, Santa Clara County, is the home of the noted stallion imp. Brutus, sire of the great per- formers Peter the Great, Vinctor, Instaila- tor and other celebrities. Anotner meeting of the Breeders’ and Owners’ Association was held at the Bald- win Hotel last evening and from all ac- counts its members agreed to stand by their president. If so, there will be many light fields at Oakland track this week. Anotber Local Union.

The Usual Raffle for the Fowl Stopped by The Police. Those Who Depended on Chance for Thanksgiving Dinner Will Eat Beefsteak. Turkeys which have been bought by those who were under the impression that they would be rafled and consequently be a source of revenue 1o the purchasers are still without a chance of decorating a Thanks:iving spread. The fowls will probably decorate the city dumps, as the parties who arein favor of giving a raffle are loth to give up ihe birds, and other- will not buy them unless through the ruffle process, so there the heipless and headless turkevs stand—or ratiler hang. 1t is all on account of S:rgeant Martin of the police force, as he swooped down on the unsuspecting ones and stopped what he called a sure game. He was obliging enourh not carry off the fowls for evidencs, but the way he gave his or- ders it was not surprising that the sports quix.” Tiere were many hard-luck siories to tell One man had just given up the price for the privilege of a shake, and held the high bana wnen the sergeant’s star elit- tered in the door. There was a scattering, ‘with the exception of tbe unliucky raan. He asked for the turkey, but received a reply that he was ‘‘bucking’ a chance gamé and had lost atthe last turn, al- though he had won on the turn ol the deceptive dice. He wasin a quandary how he' had lost and at the same time won, but he wili be given time to study it out, and will hdve no turkey to help him along in his unenviable problem. The sergeant stated last evening that the game was strictly one of chance, and as much a violation of the law asany other dice game, and that he haa stopped every one on bis beat. When it was heard that the other sergeants were not onto the game the turkeys and ownersdissappeared south of Market street, but it is thought they will fare badly there as well, as it is reported that ail the officers on the beat are supplied with a turkey for the I'banks- giving feast.

Detectives ‘Reynolds and Dinan De- tailed on the Cases, but With- out Results A man who is evidenily in need of clothes has been prowling around the streets adjacent to Van Ness avenue. A robbery at 1427 Largin street and one at 808 Van Ness avenue have been reported to the police within the past three days. Each time the culprit has taken clothes and nothing more. Detect ves Harry Reynolds and Jerry Dinan were detailed on the cases, but so far have not been abie to locate the de- sired party. It looks to the police as though one man is doing the work. At 1427 Van Ness avenue the basement was broken into and the Thinese cook was the loser. His coat and trousers were | taken, but the other thingsin the room | were not molested. Alired Thall, lives at the house where the robbery took nlace, evidently does not think much of the ability of the detective force of this city, as be said last evening: “The de- tec:ives will be unable to find clothes which nave tesn stolen, bat I thinkifa piano had been missed the owner of the property would stand a gooi chance of recovering it.” The residence of Mrs. Campbell at 808 Van Ness avenue was also entered. Tnere the tnief contented himself with the wear- ing apparel which was hanging on the rack. tered the basement, 2s no other room was entered, with the exception of theentrance to the hall and that leading from the base- ment. The loss will not amount to over $30, bat the police are workine in a deter- mineda manner, as it is thought the party who has commiited the theft is an old offender of ‘he law. WATER GOMPANY SPEALS Disclaims Responsibility = for Berkeley's Present Doucht, . The Explanation Vigorously De- nounced as an Attempt to Gull Consumers. BERKELEY, Nov. dore Wagner, attorney for the Alameda | Water Company, which iias been charged by the Berkeley press with responsibility for the existing scarcity of water in the college town, has written an extensive communication, in which he defeads the company and makes a number of state- ments whick both the local daily papers strenuou-ly deny. G:neral Wagner declares that the pres- ent supply would be ample, if not wasted, and that the people, if they Wwaat a greater supply, should not apply to the Contra Costa Water Company, but should en- courage the Alameda company by better rates than the present ones to invest capi- tal in a large reservoir, which, he esti- mates, wouid cost more than $110,000. “‘Berkeley,”’ declures General Wagner, “notwithstanding its naturzlly unfavor- able situation as regards water supply, now enjoys one of Lhe best and purest water supplies of any city of the coast. 1 claim that the Alameda Water Company has done 1ts utmost to keep pace with the rapidly increasing demand, and that not- withstanding tbe great natural difficulties it has succeeded reasonably weil. Iclaim that the company bas done all and more than could reasonatly be demanded from it by the people of this town. ~'It must be clear to any 1easonable per- son that tbis is far from a water famine, ana that the supp!y ought to be more than ample atail times for domesiic uses, and if It is not that there is a great waste of water going on. As & matter of fact, tbe people of Berkeley don’t seem to know how well they are off in the matter of water supp'y; they have the purest ana best water, and, while none to spare or too much, they have an ample daily supply, even in this exceptional season. “If proper remunerative rates are es- tablished I believe that it may induce the stockholders of . the company. to iurnish the m ans to provide the large storage reservoir which wiil render a recurrence of the present scarcty of the water im- possible, but persisience in the course heretofore pursued toward the water com- pany in my opinion cannot fail'to dis- ¢ urage the stockholders from farther in- vestment. *I: is to be hoped that the present fam- ine has brought tue people toa realization of how necessary that company is to the people of this town and the good service that it gives ought to be betier appreci- d, and demagogues and loud-moutbed agitators ought to be relegated to back seats.”’ The Gazeite declares that the state- ments of the company’s aitorney are not borne out by facts. ‘“The communication from the Alameda Water Company,”’ it declares, “is certainly a mosc astonishing document, and was evidently written on | the assumption thatthe people of Berke- who | * it is suppo-ed that the burglar en- | 20.—General Theo- | THOROUGHBRED SALEN. b W = 52 FRIDAY. 5 FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1897, YEARLINGS—ALSO STALLION IMPORTED CYRUS, FROM PALO ALTO STOCK FARM, AL 7:30 P2, at O CIDENTAL HORSE EXCHANGE, FRIDAY Azh' VGURDAY- 26 AND 27, 1897, THREE AND TWO YEAR OLDS FROM SANTA ANITA STUD, PROPERTY OF F.
