M. Henry. Rumored That the Missing Man’s Ac- | counts Are Shortand an Inves- tigation Will f_-'ollow. | The Spring Valley Water Company is | minus a collector. L. M. Henry, one of | the trusted employes, who has a wife and one child, has not been seen since | Monday last by either friends or rela- | tives, and_much anxlety is felt for his| welfare. For twelve years Henry has been collecting for the company through- out the Mission district, and for a time lived at Twenty-second street, near Mis- | sion, but a short time ago, according to reports, he moved to a rooming house | on O'Farrell street, near Taylor, and | again, leaving his family, took a room | | for two nights at 20 O'Farrell street in | a'lodging house run by Louis Audet. It is a well known fact by the friends of the missing man that he is an ex- ceedingly hard drinker at times, and it is thought that he is in the city enjoying | himeelf, but a rumor has gained ground | that the collector is short in his accounts and has fled. At any rate, the company is alarmed at the continued absence of Henry, and Chiet Clerk Booker is working on the reports of the collector. A thorough canvass of the ground formerly covered by Henry is being gone over. It i8 not possible that he can be in the company’s debt to any great extent, If at all, as he had accounted for all moneys collected up to two days prior to his| mysterious disappearance. No member of | Henry nor of that of any member of his | family, and it is possibly due to this fact that he cannot be found, although it is acknow]cdgfld that Mrs. Henry called at | the office but a day or two ago and in- quired if her husband was still in the company’s employ, and whether or not he had been seen there within the past few days.

T00K A GIRL FOR A BURGLAR Amusing Experience of a Robber-Hunting Party. An Innocent Servant Starts the Alarm and Is Cap- tured. Lanz Convinced That Have Designs on His r. Thieves Home. Oakland Office, San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Jan. 28. The numerous burglaries that are now being committed are productive of some very amusing experiences, but none is more ludicrous than an ad- | | venture which occurred at the house | of Dr. Lanz in East Oakland last night. On two or three occasions recently the doctor has been aware of the fact | that men have been prowling around | his house after dark, and he has dis- covered evidence that left no doubt’in his mind that their intention was to break in and take whatever of value they could find. He decided on a plan which he be- leved would succeed in capturing any burglar who might come to his prem- ises. His residence is at the corner of Fourth avenue and East Twelfth street, and anticipating thieves, he in- vited four young fellows to his house, all of them over six feet two inches in height. He thought that with this gang of glants they would accomplish some- thing. These young men were A. F. McDonald, Thomas J. Thompson, Har- old McCoy and F. Millar. They passed the early portion of the evening in stretching threads across the pathway that leads to the entrance. Dr. Lanz had previously attached a powerful burglar alarm to the front door, and these threads were connected with it. About 10 o’clock, when the house was all dark, and the young men on guard, the residents in that neighborhood were aroused by hearing loud yells, as of a lady in distress, from the vicinity of Dr. Lanz’s house. Four tall fellows were seen to be pursuing a fleeing fig- ure, but the flight soon stopped when they discovered that they were chasing a woman A little investigation showed that it was Dr. Lanz's servant’s night off, and about 10 o'clock she was returning to the house. On going up the pathway she unconsciously broke the little black thread, the burglar alarm, unlike most machines of its character, worked with precision, and an {instant later the frightened maid, followed by the tall guards, was flying down the pathway, all shouting like coyotes. This attempted burglary has not been reported to the police. o e GRAND JURORS DRAWN.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Jan. 28. Some time ago it was proposed that a conference be held between repre- sentatives of Alameda, Oakland and Berkeley for the purpose of agreeing upon a system of local licenses that would be satisfactory to all three places. This conference has not been held and there is dally a growing need of uniformity of the license system on this side of the bay. The town of Alameda is now consld- | | ering a new license ordinance, and it | is believed that if officials of the three | guish the bound: Superior Judg’e’sfi Sitting in Bank | Select One Hundred Names.

OAKLAND, Jan. 28.—Next Monday the Board of Supervisors will them the list of voters from which to select the election officers in conformity with the provisions of the Stratton pri- mary law. The board met this morning and Supervisors Church, Roeth and Wells handed their list to the County Clerk. Supervisor Mitchell and Supervisor Talcott stated that they were experi- encing great difficulty in completing their list, by reason of the fact that they couid find _enough Populists. Mr. Roeth also stated that in making up his list he had met with the same difficulty. County Clerk Jordan said he is anxious to have the matter settled at once. He said that it would be almost impossible for him to have slips, folded and put in a box on Monda. and in order to facilitate matiers it was decided to hand in the list informally and he could commence work immediately. When the comk)leted lists are handed to the Clerk he will at onece get towork and next Monday the election officers who will have to serve for the entire current year will be chosen. — Oakland News Items.

In the Oakland Police Court cases are constantly arising of hack drivers and expressmen and driverseof deliv- ery wagons being arrested for coming into this city and doing business with- out taking out the necessary license. On the other hand, if Alameda has a funeral and requires more hacks than are available in her town, no carriage can go over to Oakland to take part in the funeral cortege unless the drivers fortify themselves with a license cost- ing several dollars per dannum. In Berkeley the same efforts have been made to protect the merchants of the town from the incursions of Oakland solicitors, and the result is that the three towns are constantly arresting people and subjecting them to much annoyance over a matter which could easily be adjusted, for it is not impos- sible for the different governments to agree upon some system by which each shall receive its share of revenue from the license business without working hardships on the other two towns. The Merchants’ Exchange of Oak- land has discussed this license matter | very thoroughly and its members could send a delegation to such a conference that would be a material help in ad- justing the matter, for while many consider it necessary to protect this side of the bay frorn San Franciscomer- chants, it is not generally belleved that there is any great necessity to protect one of the bay cities against another, now that they are so rapidly growing together that it is difficult to distin- v lines. CONDUCTOR WARE LOSES HIS WIEE | Makes Public His Intention to Pay No More Family Bills. Husband Says Wife Loved Dress, She Says He Was Too Stingy. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 98 Broadway, Jan. 25. Frank E. Ware, a well-known conduc- tor on the Southern Pacific, published one of those significant little notices to- night stating that his wife, Mary, having left his home without due cause, he does not intend to pay any more of her bills. Four years ago Frank Ware married Mary Edwards, and the young couple | were given quite a send-off by the many fellow-employes of the road. For a while | all went well and their little home was one of peace and happiness, Ware gradually tired of trying to live within the limits of her husband’s salary. The conductor, on the other hand, was anxious to have a reserve fund, and this little matter of finances gradually led to a gap which fast widened. The young folks were of tender years when they married and Mrs. Ware's ro- mantic ideas could not be carried out on a conductor's modest salary, and her dream was soon dispelled. Some time ago, | the husband says, she took all her little possessions and ‘their spare cash, and although he will not say one harsh word | against her, he declares she had no just have before | | | the names placed on | he testified that he believed in God, who spoke to him. attorney asked - mission to be present at the next confer- ence. cause for breaking up his horhe. He has merely stated that he could not persuade his wife that noble qualities, rather than fine dress, make a good wife. On theother hand Mrs. Ware says her husband was stingy and irritable, and so has ended the little romance of their lives. —_——————— DOMESTIC INFELICITIES. J. Boynton Leaves Home, His Wife Takes Poison—A Daugh ter Is Missing, OAKLAND, Jan. 28.—Mrs. A. Boynton of 63 Valley street started a commotion yesterday forenoon by announcing that she had taken a dose of poison. Dr. Shannon was called, but when he ar- rived she had so far recovered that she refused to talk of the affair. However, it is claimed that she told her chiidren that she was going to commit suicide. Mr. Boynton is an electric rallway em- ploye, and after quarreling with his wife it is asserted that he left with the an- nouncement that he would stay away. This is sald to have caused Mrs. Boyn- ton to act as she did. To-day another chapter was added to the family diffi- culties, for Katie, a 16-vear-old daughter, disappeared and her mother notified the lice and asked that they try to locate E:r. She fears that the girl will be lost. However, it is the prevailing opinion that Katie has gone to her father, who, it is reported, was hurt last nlght on leaving his car. He could not be found to-night. Eden Parlor Installs.

The San Francisco Club Opens Its Doors to the Gentler Sex. The San Francisco Club has reached a degree of popularity during its brief ex- istence second to none of the bachelor homes of the city. Its fine clubrooms on the sixteenth and seventeenth floors of the s Spreckels Building, and the magnificent view of the city, bay and surrounding country obtained therefrom have had much to do with establishing it in the good graces of clubmen; and now the wives, sisters and sweethearts are clamoring for a peep into the charmed | and charming circle, and another peep at the fairy-like panorama spread out be- low and around in every direction. This clamoring has become so great the club has been forced to take cogniz- ance of it, and last night the board of directors met and set aside the first and third Wednesdays of each month, to be designated as ‘‘Ladies’ Day,” when memn bers will be permitted to eéxtend the ho: pitalities of the club to their lady rel tives and friends. The dining-room will be open to guests for luncheon, which will be served from 11 a. m. to_3 p. m, The members of the ciub are delighted with the innovation, while the ladies are overjoyed at the prospect of obtaining admittance to the clubroom _——— Schott's Third Concert.

The new re- port will contain several pictures of the | department of this institution, which will convey a better idea than any other | econ- | medium and give a correct Iim- ! pression of conditions at the in- digents’ home. A series of pic-| tures has also been made of some | of the permanent concrete culverts that have been built on the county road. It/ | was formerly the custom to squander | a few thousand dollars every year on patching up wooden culverts, but dur- | | Ing the past four years several of | these flimsy affairs have been replaced | | by solid pieces of masonry that will| i stand for all time. Many permanent | iron bridges have been built in place | | of the old wooden structures, and it is | the intention of the report to show | these things pictorially and to adver- | | tise to all the country that the affairs of this county are tolerably well ad- ministered. No annual reports were issued till three years ago, when Clerk | | Jordan issued a partial one. The fol- 1!0\vmg year one a little more complete ‘was fled, but that now in progress | goes into detail and will leave ro ex- cuse for any one not to be well in- formed on the county’s finances. LIVINGSTONE AT LARGE. @ Trusty Scales the Jail Wall and Escapes. | | OAKLAND, Jan. 28.—Abe Livingstone, a trusty serving a six months’ sentence in the County Jail for petty larceny, | | made his escape this forenoon and has | not been seen nor heard of since. He | went into the court to hang out some clothes to dry. His continued absence | led another trusty to investigate. He | could not find Livingdtone anywhere and | at once reported to Jaller Lane. A search was instituted and it was dis- | covered that the missing man had used the corner stones of the southwest wing as a stepladder to reach the roof of the main jail. He had then walked across the building to the wall on the Washing- | | ton street side. This he followed to the | south end and jumped to the grass di- rectly below the office window and made his escape without being detected. The imprint of his feet in the grass can be distinctly seen. A number of prisoners have made their | escape in this way in the past when they were allowed to exercise in the court. This has been denied them for the past two years, and only trusties were allowed | ! to go into the court. The attention of the Board of Supervisors has been called to the place in the past, but without avail. | Something may now be done to protect it. She Wanted a Ride. OAKLAND, Jan. 28.—Miss Annie Roch- berg, aged 25, took a buflzy from in front of the residence of E. H. Benjamin, cor- ner of Oak and Eleventh streets, this aft- | ernoon at 3 o'clock and drove off with it. The loss was reported to the police short- ly afterward, but it was after 8 o'clock before any trace of the missing rig was found. At that time a telephone mes- | sage reached the police station that some one had driven into Lake Merritt, | off the foot of Boulevard terrace, and | that they would perish without help. The patrol wagon was dispatched to the place with Sergeant Peterson and Officer Cock- erton. ey found the horse in the mud up to his body and the hugsi over the springs, with a woman in it. A rope was made fast and the buggy %u!led back by the patrol wagon team. 'he horse was then secured. ‘When searched in the lice station Miss Rochberg had $41 15. She was poorly clad, with no wrap and an old cap. When asked why she took the rig she replied, “I wants a ride.”” Not another word would she offer in response to questions. She is a Swede and declares that she has been living ‘‘nowhere” in the past. Seeking Another Site. OAKLAND, Jan. 28—The special com- mittee on the proposed new municipal buildings decided to recommmend to the City Council that the City Hall site be solx at auction, except the portion occu- pied by the engine house and tower and a ten-foot driveway, and that the City Attorney be asked to prepare a peti- tion providing for the reception of bids for lots within a half mile of the present bullding, not less than 200 feet by 300 feet, for a new site. The meeting consisted of Councilmen Rowe, Pringle and Henne- berry, Mayor ‘homas, City Attorney Dow and City Engineer Clement. The recommendations met with the hearty ap- proval of these gentlemen. The matter of the best shape in which to offer the pres- ent site was not decided, and another meeting will be held next week to de- cide that. Clalms Prominent Parents. OAKLAND, Jan. 28.—C. P.

ALAMEDA, Jan. 23—Some two vears ago the Fort Wayne Electric Corporation endeavored to steal a march in this city and secure a foothold by putting in a plant, contrary to the wishes of the peo- le and the orders of the Board of Tustees. They put in poles for lighting, but were enjoined and ordered to remove | their apparatus. This they neglected to do, and, after due notice, the city itself undertook the task of removal, and tore up 116 forty-foot masts belonging to the intruders. These were stored in the cor- poration vard, and have remained_ there ever since. The corporation now desires to obtain possession of them, and has applied for permission to take them away. They will be allowed to do so af- ter paying $5 apiece for them, that being the expense incurred by the ity in their removal. The poles cost $10 aplece. Whist Tournament.
