OAKLAND, Dec. 20. — Three of the oldest residents of the Pacific Coast met yesterday and celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of the last the three’s arrival here. They were: Messrs. Daniel D. Pretty- rgan, Edward H. Lenox and J. Harlan, and all have lived on the st more than half a century. ¥r. Prettyman started from Harri- 50%.ville, Van Buren County, Mo., May 11, 1847, with his father and mother and four other children. They had eight wagons and 12 yoke of oxen. ‘Mr. Lenox came from Kentucky, and tells of the perils and adventures with the red men on the trail. His father was in coimmand of the party, “nd insisted on resting on the Sabbath, much against the wishes of some. .

OAKLAND, Dec. 20.—The effort of the Oakland Athletic Club to pull off a “boxing contest” in this city in the Exposition building has failed. The | final blow came to-day when Chief of | Police Lloyd positively forbade it. | “The Griffo-McConnell match cannot l?ke place in Oakland,” said he. “This city shall not be known as the ‘pugil- ists’ paradise,’and in order to keep it from being known as such we must keep out imported boxers, on whom there would be heavy betting as far away as New York and London. This announcement is final. This ps cu lar match is intended as a starter, and if we aliow it to go on Oakland would soon have all of the ‘pugs’ in the country dumped upon her streets.” An effort is being made to arrange with one of the local clubs to have an eight-round “go” between the two men on Thursday evening in their rooms. As this kind of work is allowed regu- larly it may succeed, but, as it was | principally through the efforts of | these two clubs that the original con- test was killed, it is hardly possible. —_— e | School Examinations.

For the past five years | there has been a growth in the differ- ences between the two Hebrew con- gregations in this city, the Beth Israel, under the leadership of Rabbi Fried- lander, following more and more along the lines of reform, the Beth Jacob adhering closely to Orthodoxy. | By a deed placed on record to-day, it is shown that the two congregations | would now prefer separate cemeteries. | The deed states that a tract of land | “‘bounded on the north and west by | Lake Temescal and the lands of the Contra Costa Water Company” has been obtained by the agent for the trustees of the Jewish Synagogue. | The tract consists of 6.85 acres, and is to be transferred from W.

At all events, no one could be found who had seen him since that date. The members of the library board | absolutely refused to talk about the | matter at all, nor would they affirm | or deny any of the stories which were in circulation about the matter. A private meeting of the library trustees dis- | was held this morning, at which the matter was canvassed and a state- | ment was prepared. to be given to the | public. It was aiso decided to hold a | special meeting this evening to accept | Harbourne's resignation and elect a | new librarian.

Knowing that on | November 1 a warrant had been drawn | for payment to this person, I got from the librarian the minute-book, cashbook | and warrant-book and made examina- | tion of them. 1 found on exnmmmlonk some things that looked suspicious, wherefore I asked the principal ones of those with whom we dealt for state- ments of their accounts from the 1st of- January. Having received these smm-' ments, Mr. Weller and I made an ex- amination of the books, discovering somé singular discrepancies. We notified the treasurer of the same and also, after a | meeting of the board, held on Monday | last,notified Mr. Harbourné that his serv- i would not be required after the 20th Since Monday last we have been making as rnmglvvo an examination as possible of our books, and the creditors’ statements, and have found that war- rants amounting to about $1100 have been paid by the treasurer which the persons to whom they were payable claim were The trustees refuse to give names of | | the persons to whom the wdrrants were | payable and who have not received their money. It is known, however, that they are all San Francisco houses and that the amount is so divided up that no one firm is a very heavy loser.

One of the boys employed as a mes- | senger and assistant in the library Is a loser to the tune of two months' salary (350), the warrant for which appears to have been cashed by Harbourne. The method by which this shortage was created was as follows: All bills for supplies were presented to the board and audited and warrants or- dered drawn. This was done by the secretary, who then left the warrants in Mr. Harbourne's hands for delivery to the persons in whose favor they were drawn. Tt appears on examina- tion that these warrants, to the amount of $1100, have been paid, but not to the persons ,jn whose favor they were drawn. The conclusion is | dents’ woodyard of Berkeley. therefore inevitable that the indorse- ment must have been forged, unless, what has not been suggested in the premises, he held authorizations to cash them. Among the firms whose names were forged to warrants are Althof & Bahls and Hicks-Judd Company. Frank Bordwell is the boy employed in the library who is out $50. Besides the shortage of $1100 caused by warrants not being paid to the prover parties, there are several warrants made out in the names of persons as yet not made public, which are combplete for- geries and which will bring the total up to considerably more, perhaps $2000. Harbourne was in receipt of a salary of $100 & month, and the board was so well pleased with his*services that it was the,intention to have raised it to $125 on January 1. It is now said that he had considerably more than $400 with him when he left, and that if he had been wise he could have devoted what he had to squaring things so that he could have tided over the difficulty. Onme report to-night is that he has gone to the Klondike. A BUTTER SWINDLE. Rolls Made With a Hollow Space in Them—Why They Should Be Sold by Weight. ALAMEDA, Dec. 20.—Consumers of a certain brand of butter sold in this city and made in Petaluma have just made a discovery of a petty but an- noying swindle, which appears to be the latest freak in such matters. This swindle consists in making the rolls hollow. A space about an inch in diameter and two and a half inches long is left in the center of the roll, by which the buyer is defrauded of perhaps one quarter or one-sixth of a pound. It is perfectly evident that these spaces are not accidental, as they are too reg- ular in shape and occur too frequent- ly. It is therefore evident that some dairyman has hit upon a device by which he can turn out rolls or squares which are to all appearances solid and of full weight, but by which he real- izes a considerable illegal profit where a quantity are put up. The only way to prevent or detect a swindle of this character is to sell the rolls by weight, and if this swindle becomes common that method will be insisted upon by consumers, BERKELEYANS COME T0 BLOWS J. R. Dean of the University Town Forcibly Resents a Student’s Remarks. The Affair the Outcome of a Criticism of the So-Called Students’ Woodyard. BERKELEY, Dec. 20.—A bloody per- sonal encounter took place in Berkeley to-day between H. E. Jones, a fresh- man student at the State Uni- | versity, and J. R. Dean, a former stu- dent and now the manager of the stu- Jones was formerly employed by Dean, but | has recently started the Students’ Fuel Supply Company in connection with W. J. Ford, another university student. The trouble which culminated in blows to-day originated indirectly in the statement which Jones made that the students’ woodyard, so called, is in reality a business operated by two men who are in no way connected with the university. Jones, who shows a disabled hand as the result of the melee, swore out a warrant before Justice Clift of Oak- land for Dean's arrest on a charge of assault and battery. When seen this evening he gave the following version of the encounter: “About 9 o'ciock this morning, ac- companied by Ford, I went to see Dean, in whose employ we had been up to about six months ago. At that time we started a new company, which we claimed was the only genuine students’ organization of its kind in Berkeley. Dean was angered at this, and he.circulated a number of false reports about me, saying that I was ‘broke’ and had no nnancial backing. When these reports were brought tome I made a remark that ‘Dean could go to This was carried to Dean, and this morning when I went to see him to collect some money he owed me | he asked me if I had made the state- ment referred to. Upon admitting that 1 had he attacked me. I defended my- self vigorously, but in the struggle my | hand was pretty badly hurt.” L. A. Bunnell, who recently pur- students’ woodyard, was a witness to student’s woodyard, was a witness to the encounter. Speaking in reference to it he said: “Jones and Ford, who formerly worked for Dean and received a great deal of assistance from him, came around this morning, evidently with the intention of making trouble. They formerly worked on commission for Dean, but had trouble with him and left. Since then they have been soliciting for an Oakland firm and have used their infiuence as students to take away our customers. “It is true that Dean is not a student at present. He attended college for | two years and then had to leave to earn some money. Since then he has been manager of the woodyard. He | has employed at various times over 100 students during the past three years, and at present employs twelve or fif- teen off and on. Both Dean and myself intend to enter college as soon as we can, he to complete his course and I to begin mine.” @Alameda Notes.

The Association Adds Its Chap- ter to the Milk Contro- versy. Cows Condemned by Tuberculin Test Passed by Government In- spectors. HREXRRERHRERRRRERRRRRRRRRRRR “Out of thirty-three cows I lost eighteen or they were con- demned. The most of them I sold to the butcher and they passed the Government in- spector as fit for human food.”—From a signed state- ment of A. C. King, an Oak- land dairyman. AR HRHH KRR * E e ERERFERERERRRRRRRREEF s * * Oakland Office of The Call, 908 Broadway, Dec. 20. The Dairyman’s Association of Ala- meda county held an important meet- ing last night. It was the prevailing opinion of those present that the Board of Health of this city had fully stated their side of the milk question, but that the dairymen had been too quiet. A. C. King, one of the leading dairy- men of Fruitvale, was authorized to prepare a statement for publication. It was decided to submit the state- ment to The Call so that it would re- ceive the largest possible circulation. Mr. King's statement is as follows: We wish to state where we stand on the tuberculin test, and these views ex- press the Foslllun of a majority of the milkmen of Alameda County. We do not want to sell milk from diseased cows, as the Board of Health and some doctors would like to make the ople believe, and vze never have objes to a physical examination of our cows by a competent veterinary, and to-day we stand ready to remove any cows that may be con- demned. But is the tuberculin test a test that can be relied upon? How many doctors who now champion its cause have ever studied it or had any experience with it? The United States Government does not regard it as infallible. It seems it mote of an experiment as yet than an thing else, for why would the Govern- ment be S0 particular as to getting the reports and post-mortem exami; they were so sure of its succe does it seem just that the n milkmen should be thus forced to stand up and be abused because a few cranks wish to ex- ercise a fad. Now, all records would show there is no opposition to the tuberculin test from the dairymen, and is it any wonder the most of them feel that to oppose a Board of Health would mean to be ruined in business? 1If they were not it would not be the Board of Heaith's fault, as their action in Alameda County cate, for it is their boast that any dair: man who refuses to go on their list will lose all his customers through their ef- forts. Now, I am not a man of science, but my experience with the tuberculin test shows that it has many faults and not many virtues. In the first place, my cows were tested. Out of thirty-three I lost eighteen—or, they were condemned. Most of them I sold to the butchers, and they passed the Government inspector as fit for human food. When the test was made I had only one that 1 thought would not stand the t She had been removed from the herd as not fit to milk longer, but I had her tested, and she stood it all right. I knew she was not all right, and called the testers’ attention to it. 1 have since had her killed, and found her lungs were in a terrible state. Now, this is the kind of a cow from which the Board of Health wants us to sell milk—one which anybody who knows a cow from a goat would con- demn. 4y There is a dalrvman near me who had his herd tested and had the same experi- ence. and offered to bet the man that did the testing $5 to §1 that one cow passed by him as healthy was in an advanced stage of consumption. The veterinary did not have the faith in the test to take it up. There was another man, whom I can produce, who condemned one of his cows some time ago and gave her over to be killed. She found her way into a_herd ‘amz was recently tested and stood the est. Then, again, Drs. Plerce and Archibald tested three cows for Anton Gonzales, and they all stood the test. In a few weeks Dr. Carpenter tested them again and condemned two that had stood the test before. ' Now, I would ask if it is not possible that the danger from tuberculosis in milk from cows that are to all appearance healthy is not greatly exaggerated and it the doctors stopped to consider a minute that the babies who die might have been unhealthy when born? 1 certainly do not remember where very many babies on my route have died in the last eight years, and where they did. as a rule they were fed on some patent slop. And how is this test run—in whose in- terest? Some dairymen do not lose more than five or six out of a hundred, while others lose as many as twenty-three out of thirty. From what I can léarn, where this test is made with Government tuber- culin the los Pilgrims’ Day Celebration.

A successful hold-up and bold attempt at burglary occurred last night within an hour of each other, and residents of the college town are becoming thor- oughly aroused. About 10 o'clock last night Robert Agee of Lincoln and California streets was confronted on University avenue, near Milvia street, by twoe masked men, who sprang from the shadow. A revolver was pointed at his head and the footpads went through his pockets, obtaining $3 50, all the money the v tim had with him. As soon as they had emptied his pockets they started off down Milvia street, and Agee has- tened to Berkeley station to give an alarm. Marshal Lloyd and his deputies are busy on the case. Agee’s description of them is ‘“a short man and a tall man, one wearing a light coat and another a dark overcoat. Two Berke- leyans, Frank C. Batiis, a compositor, and Driver Jones of the C. U. and F. Railway, saw men whom they suspect of the robbery, and, with the descrip- tions which they give, the authorities have considerable to work upon. An attempt was made between 10 and 11 o’clock last night to burglarize the residence of Mrs. E. Dinkelspiel, 1947 Shattuck avenue. The intruder entered through the dining-room win- dow, and Mrs. Dinkelspiel, who was alone upstairs at the time, hearing the noise, became frightened. She hastened out of the house and went to the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Rhody, across the street. They came back and searched the house, but the burglar had evidently been frightened away before he had taken anything. S = e Christmas at St. Mary's. OAKLAND, Dec. 20.—The Christmas NEW TO-DAY.
