THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, JANUARY 31, 1898, ALAMEDA COUNTY NEWS. NEED OF A NITED FRONT Hilborn Sends Words of Warning From Congress. A Park Argument That Seems to Have Escaped All Notice. Ebell and Improvement Clubs Are at Work With More Energy Than Ever. Ozkland Office San Francisco Call, | 908 Broadwa Two events have been ing the past week that are very close- ly related. It reported that the Government engineer is now advertis- ing for bids for dredging the harbor, d Dr. J. T. McLean, Alameda's health officer, has been granted a long leave of absence and will go to Wash- ington. Th doctor has Yosemite Val- ley interests, which need his presence at the Capital, but he also has ideas of his own—and very pronounced ones —regarding the end of the estuary that should be attended to first. Nat- urally the people of Qakland are somewhat anxious as to what Dr. McLean may attempt, and past his- tory justifi anxiety. It is evi- dent that bids are let at this time, they will be for the carrying out of the work in accordance with Colonel Suter’s recommendation, which is not favorable to the tidal canal. Mr. Hilborn has just sent word to the Oakland Board of Trade that the pre Jan. 30. pected dur- is ent Congress is very much stricken with a desire for economy. Thi means that few new appropriations will be made, possibly none, and that any of those already granted will be called in if any good excuse can be of- fered for such action. As there could hardly be a better excuse needed by an economical Congress than the fact that the two cities bordering on the estuary are at sword’s points en the matter of ha improvement, and have sent reports to Washington, ut- terly contradictory in their import. It would seem to be the wiser plan for the two cities to agree on a pro- gramme and to let work go ahead as speedily as possible. It is very evident that everything at this time points to rbor the deepering of the ©vakland end of the harbor first. When this be done it would rot be a difficult matter to list the help of Oakland the needed Federal re Only delay and pc appropriation now available can re- sult from further controversy. Ala- meda’s stand has much to recommend it, and has more than sentiment for its foundation. The problem it faces is a serious one.” The Government built splendid steel drawbridge across the tidal canal, and_placing confidence in the plans of the engi- ne: that a tideway could be con- structed through to San Leandro Bay to ure f for Alameda. bly loss of the a the town laid down a sewer system that depended on the daily ebb and flow of the tide. When the plans were changed the sewer system was robbed of much of its merit. This makes their grievance a legitimate but just now it looks as though the quickest re- lief would come by permitting the en- one, gineer to go ahead without protest, because Alameda, with her shipbuild- ing yards, of which there are none on the Oakland side of the estuary, would derive a benefit, even from the start. A paragraph that appeared in this column last week has created much in- terest. It referred to the feeling of the general public in regard to parks, and one sentence has been quoted as indi- cating that I am not enough in the matter. v The conclusion s erroneous, for probably mo other paper has published so much news re- | the weeks garding park movement. Only three ago this paragraph ap- peared, and no one can doubt its truth: “No one doubts for a moment that a city of this size should have a large ornamental tract where its inhabitants can enjoy themselves. San Francisco has derived nuch of its popularity from the manifold attractic en Gate Park. By possession of a sim- flar playground Oakland would also ob- tain equal valuable notoriety abroad.” The agitation for a park was com- menced by some of the most worthy | men of this city, who were entirely dis- interested, and was not given up by them till they acknowledged that there was too much difference of opinion and too much suspicion of scheming to ac- complish anything. In this connection there is sne argu- ment in favor of purchasing a public park that does not seem to have been accorded the attention it deserves. A good deal of the apathy of the citizens is due to the fact that there are, within easy distance of the city, several splen- did parks in which the public can ram- ble at will. This being so, the need of purchasing a large tract is not real- ized. It does not seem to be expected that the owners of these parks may not welcome the public as their guests fore and that they may be closed. The fact that th parks have been kept open, and that free entertain- ments have been given as a means of Inducing travel must be viewed in a new light in the future. In the past, the street railroad companies controli- ing the parks have offered such induce- ments in the nature of competition. Now that nearly all these roads have consolidated, there is no need of com- petition, because there is no more op- position. It must be remembered that there has not been even a suggestion that any of the private parks will be closed, but it is not wise to expect charity for- ever. Mayor Thomas'’s suggestion advanced last Thursday night to proceed with the city- hall site matter “before it is talked to death” is a good one, If there be any one who will argue that there is no need of a mew city hall in this city it would be interesting to hear his argument. Here are a few facts: The prison has been condemned numer- ous times by the Board of Health and is now so ancient that it cannot be enthusiastic | s of Gold- | | made sanitary. The Treasurer cannot | have a strong-box built in his office be- | cause the joists are not fit to hold it | i and it would tumble into the Jail below. | | There have been instances in which | prisoners have with ease u.ade holes in the stone walls and walked through to liberty.

The place is a disgrace to | | Oakland; compared with Alameda | everybody should blush. This is not a matter of sentiment but of urgent ne- | cessity and the Mayor's words should | be acted upon. | There has been a disposition on the { part of some to place the Oakland Im- | provement Club and the Ebell Society | in a false position regarding their re- lations to each other. One of the lead- | ing members of the Ebell has outlined the stand of these bodies and it shows | conclusively that each is energetically | pursuing the line of work for which it was organized. “The improvement club,” said she, “was formed to do what the Ebell So- ciety, as an organization, could not do. It was designed to be so broad and far-reaching that people belonging to all organizatic could be included.

Cruzan’s Ex- planation of the Sui- cidal Mania. The “Haste to Be Rich” a Potent Cause of Self- Murder. Also San Francisco Only Equaled by Monte Carlo in the Number of Suicides.

A COOK WHO TURNS ROBBER Bruno Meyer Is Arrested on a Serious Charge. Accused of Forcibly Purloining a Gold Watch and Chain. The Complaining Witness 1s E. Mul- ler, a Bartender in the Man- hattan Saloon. Bruno Meyer, a cook, was arrested at an early hour yesterday morning on a charge of robbery. The complain- ing witness is E. Muller, a bartender in the Manhattan saloon, Erie and Mission streets. Muller was on his way home about 8 o'clock in the morning after closing the saloon. He had about $100 in his pockets, and, as he was afraid that he might be held up, he carried a re- volver in his overcoat pocket. He ad- mitted that he had been drinking pe haps more than was good for him. ‘When he reached Sixteenth and Capp streets a man came up tohimandasked him where he was going. Being in a genial mood Muiler began to converse with the stranger, who suddenly grabbed hold of his watch chain, pulled his watch out of his pocket and ran toward Mission street. Although he had the revoiver Muller did not use it, but instead blew a police whistle, which attracted the attention of Police- man Kearney, who was standing on Sixteenth and Mission streets. Kear- ney observed a man running toward him, and concluding that he had some- thing to do with the whistling he or- dered him to stop. The man bent down and Kearney thought he was intending to pick up a cobble-stone, so he made a rush at him, and without resistance placed him under arrest. Muller had followed the robber, and he told Kear- ney that he had been relieved of his gold watch and chain. Kearney took them both to the Seventeenth-street Police station, and when searched the watch and chain were not found on Meyer, who vigorously denied that he knew anything about it. When Muller was searched the revoiver was found in his overcoat pocket, and he was booked for carrying a concealed weapon. He at once gave $50 cash bail and was released. Lieutenant Burke sent Kearney and another offi- cer back to look for the watch and chain, and they had with them the headlight of the patrol-wagon to help them. Just at the spot where Kearney had observed Meyer to bend down they found the watch and chain, and returned with them to the police sta- tion and the charge of robbery was booked against Meyer. Meyer said that he was out at Ocean | View Saturday night and was drinking with some friends. He missed the last car and had to walk home. He lives on Bush street, near Kearny. When he got to Sixteenth and Capp streets a man took hold of him and said he was a special officer. He accused Meyer of robbing him and blew a police whistle, when an officer who was across the street came over and arrested him. Deaths in Alameda. ALAMEDA, Jan. 30.—Henry Hartman, a bookkeeper in the employ of Buslach & Co. of San Francisco and residing on Webster street In this city, died early this morning of consumption. He was 27 years of age. Mrs. Agnes Spatz, mother of Mrs. H. Hauch of this city, died this morning at her residence, 2071 San Antonio avenue. She was 60 years of age and a native of Germany. George Slankard, a Daring Vaquero at the Wild West Show, Probably Fatally Injured by His Horse Falling on Him. George Slankard, the vaquero who carried off the honors at the Wild West show in Central Park, met with an accident yesterday morning that resulted fatally. by lassoing horses at the park, preparatory to the exhibition in the afternoon. He and some other vaqueros were amusing themselves Slankard was riding his favorite bronco, and attempted the feat of throwing a lariat over the leg of another bronco that was galloping past him. He missed, and the noose instead caught the leg of the bronco he was riding. The animal stumbled and threw Slan- kard off and then rolled over him. He was picked up unconscious and taken to the Receiving Hospital, where Dr. Rinne found that the base of his skull was fractured and he was also suffering from internal injuries. He died some hours after. Slankard was 35 years of age and a native of Illinois. He was foreman for Miller & Lux, and has the reputation of being a sober and careful man, and one of the best vaqueros in the State. His wife was sent for and remained at his bedside in the hospital. | Auction Qaley CHAS. LEVY & CO., AUCTIONEERS. Assignecs’ Sale of Plumbing Material. THIS DAY. MONDAY.
