This admission is enough to impeach anybody, but Woodward is running around the town smiling all the time and talking of his “stand.” His celebrated expression, “I have no strings on me,” has been more quoted than anything else in this connection. erybody you meet, instead of pass- ng the customary salutation, refers to strings. Some of his fellow-tenants in his office draped his picture with strings, and if Woodward lacks any material string for the rest of his life he certainly. will not lack verbal string” as long as he is in Oakland. One little feature of his peculiar be- havior is amusing, if it were serious, involving a steal from the peo- le in the interest of the allied corpo- rations of $100,000. During the cele- brated Council meeting, the first Coun- cil Woodward ever attended, he not | was very delicate regarding his vote | me things. A little matter was voted upon, and Mr. Woodward begged to be excused “because I am not fully informed, Mr. Chairman.” Within ten minutes he had recorded a vote on a matter regarding which had also said he was not informed and which has brought down upon him the just indignation of his fellow-citizens and fellow-veterans. Councilman Brosnahan’s poesition not s urprising, for although he had exy sed himself as being in favor of dinance that the committee had worked on, he had not rushed into print and from a self - constructed white t ne announced that he had no strings on him, but has all along left the impression that he might be expected to do anything at any time. It is now very evident that he has buried the hatchet and is in the same camp as the man who has sold the in- terests of the city on every possible occasion. A. D. WILDER'S WILL.

Was a Close Friend of the Young Lady He So Sud- denly Murdered. : Jealousy Increased by Drink Led Him to Take Two Lives. 3 Oakland Office San Francisco Cail, 908 Broadway, Feb. 23. From letters found in the pockets of Henry E. Williams, who killed Ethel ‘Winfield Gray and then committed sui- cide at her home early this morning, it would,appear that the two young peo- ple had planned such deaths for nearly a year. It is also possible that the letters were written without the consent of DAVIS DENIES L SLANDER Received Not .One Cent for Watching Over a Recount. Makes a Strong Statement That His Republicanism Is Untarnished. Shows the Falseness of an Inuendo Printed in a Democratic Journal, OAKLAND, Feb. 23.—A San Fran- cisco paper having falsely insinuated that ex-Mayor W. R. Davis appeared at the recount of the Mayoralty candi- dates a year ago in the interest of the Oakland Water Company, Mr, Davis published the following reply to-night: not in any way connected with on A Meved by cither of the Oakland water companies, and have not been for a long time. I attended to numer- ous legal matters for the Oakland Water Company during 18% and a part of 1867, my relations terminating last fall. In yesterday’s Enquirer this para- graph appeared: “It was noticed be- fore the Council convened last evening that President Dingee of the Oakland ETHEL W. GREY, Who Was Shot by a Colored Youth Who Loved Her. the girl, and that her signature is not genuine. Williams was employed by Ethel's brother, Ulysses Gray, and last night the two men went to the Gray home together, both somewhat under the in- fluence of liquor. Shortly afterward Ethel came in and announced that she had been walking with a male com- panion. Willlams and the gir] sat by the stove in the kitchen, conversing till about an hour after midnight. Sud- denly he jumped to his feet and ex- claimed loud enough for her mother to hear, “Did you mean that?” The girl's reply was not audible to Mrs. Gray, but a moment later Williams drew his gun and fired at the girl's head. A second shot went through her heart. He then fired two shots at himself and both died instantly. ‘Williams has long been in love with the girl, and in his pocket was found a little clipping from an Alameda news- paper which undoubtedly instigated the murder, although it has taken him a long while to carry out what he evi- dently planned last Septembe The clipping referred to is as follows: “Miss Ethel Gray of East Oakland and J. C. Smith of this city will be married September 2. After the honeymoon they will make their home in East Oakland.” Another letter was found written by Williams to Ethel's mother on January 10, this year. It says: ‘She is my false heart. I write this to let you know that the reason I took her life was because she went with, that Smith that came to your house, and last night I saw him sitting on a box with her on his knee kissing her. She is better off dead than alive, so do not be angry with me, because I am tired of | life anyhow.” There were two other letters, one of which was signed by Wiiliams and an- other one by the girl. Her letter re- ferred to an Intended marriage and shows that the dead people have been very close friends, perhaps lovers, for .| many months. Williams is a well-known young criminal, and has a place in the rogue’s allery. He has been arrested a num- er of times, and once served six months for burglary. is but just that it should be known that I had no connection with the preparation, approval or passage of the notorjous water-rate resolution of last Monday night, a proceeding con- ceived in the dark, carried out at mid- night and itself as blackening as be- longs to that hour and that course. What I have had occasion to say or to do in the discharge of any professional duty since I entered the profession in 1877, has been said and done in the open, in the courtroom or other public meeting place. No man can say and speak the truth that in any case, pro- ceeding or employment 1 ever em- ployed any argument or means other than those urged in court or before public bodies sitting in public. Em- ployment of my services, past, present or future, ended and ends there. I see in a Democratic journal this morning that the covert inuendo is whispered into its columns that I was paid for supporting the Republican party and its candidates last spring in the city election. Nobody believes it, the writer of it included. Tt says: “If he was paid by Thomas the fee would have made a hole in the Mayor's sal- ary large enough to wreck it for a year, and that is one reason why peo- ple concluded that Thomas did not pay Davis.” For more than twenty years I have conceived it to be my duty to support the Republican party by vote, voice and labor. I never received a dollar of compensation, or even of returned ex- penses in my life from any party, com- mittee, corporation or individual in connection with any campaign or po- litical act. No candidate or any one in his behalf has ever had the hardihood to offer or suggest to me in my life compensation or reward for support, Whisperers, as well as miscreants, are an injury to this town. I had oc- casion to su,i’ at the opening of the first Oakland Exposition three years ago (speaking for co-operation and for others than myself) and it is as true now as then: “Let us stand by it—continue it in 1896 and every vyear until the end of this century, o that in 1900 it may be truly said of Oakland that she Is the first city on the Pacific Coast in the harmony and co-operative strength of her inhabitants. To do that we cannot be whispering about one another. No courageous man whispers about hisop- ponent. When such men differ the stand face to face, eye to eye, ani clash honest steel upon honest steel. Let us out-countenance the whisperin, down of men in the community an FIVE MEN OF WHOM OAKLAND IS PROUD——BUT THERE ARE OTHERS uphold the hand of every man who lifts his hand for the advancement of the city's welfare.” ' That was the right rule then and it is the right rule now. If any whis- perers in this town will step into the open and say that the undersigned ever took a dollar for the support of any candidate, party or political act or utterance, or ever took a dollar in any other questionable practice, I will engage to make his life busier for him from this on than it has been in all his preceding career. There ought to be an end of this thing in this town. And, having heretofore given consid- erable time to public_an uasi-public matters for the good of the commu- nity I can find sufficient now to dis: charge that quasi-public duty. I would not trouble you with these lines were the question not more than a personal one. It is time to put midnight work in water and midnight whispers where they belong—under the square con- demnation of the honorable men of this town. Yours tr\eévy'. M. R. DAVIS. Oakland, Feb. 23. 1898. Arrival of Bishop Taylor. ALAMEDA, Feb. 23.—Bishop Taylor, the famous African missionary and pioneer preacher of '49 in San Francisco, arrived in this city this morning for the purpose of visiting his family. He is the father of City Attorney E. K. Taylor, Attorney M. S. Taylor and Harry Taylor, a well- known local newspaper man. His wife is also a resident of this city. Accompany- 4ng the bishop are his son, Rev. Ross Tay- lor and wife of New York City. The lat- ter is_publisher of the Illustrated Chris- tian World. He will remain about a month, but the bishop will stay a year, and will recuperate from his arduous ex- periences in the Dark Continent. Al- though in his seventy-sixth year, and having had a most remarkable experience as a misslonary in this country, as well as in India and Africa, the bishop is still hale and hearty and apparently good for many years to come. License Ordinance Changes. ALAMEDA, Feb. 23.—At the meeting of the City Trustees to be held next Mon- day evening, besides the water rates, sev- eral proposed amendments to the license ordinance will be discussed. Among these the annual license for baseball grounds is to be reduced from $500 to $100, while for circuses the rate is to be $100 and $50 per day, according to the rate of admission, instead of $40 and $20, as now. It is pro- osed to reduce the licenses for solicitors | rom $250 to $75, for peddlers from $60 to | $25. The bank license Is to be raised from | $10 to $50, telegraph from $25 to $30, street- | cars from $250 to $5 each. Wagons used in delivering liquor sold at retall are to | be required to pay $100 license. Street Superintendent’s Report. ALAMEDA, Feb. 2—The annual report | of the Street Superintendent just filed | shows that during the past year there was expended upon the streets of this city the sum of $25,201 88. Of this $6989 was for water for sprinkling and flushing and a little over $10,000 for salaries and help of all kinds. The remainder was for varlous improvements, such as sidewalks, etc. The showing 1s considered a remarkably good one, considering the excellent condition in which the streets of the city are kept. Alameda News Notes. ALAMEDA, Feb. 23.—Eddie Dodge of Alameda avenue and Chestput street broke his arm yesterday while flying a kite. He stumbled and fell {n such a man- ner as to break the bone. The residence of W. H, Carey of 1709 Pacific avenue was entered by tramps on Monday afternoon and some articles of wearing apparel stolen. Mrs. Allen Clay of Oak street fell off her bicycle yesterday and broke her arm. —_— THREATENED THE REFEREE Bob McArthur Earns the Re- sentment of the Reliance Club. Declares the McCae - Lawler Fight a Draw at a Critical Stage. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Feb. 23. Another such decision as that ren- dered by Bob McArthur at the Re- liance Club to-night will about put a stop to boxing in this city. The keen- est dissatisfaction was expressed at the announcement of a draw after the contest between Jimmy Lawler and Marty McCue. The first contest was between Yank Savage and Jimmy Reilly. It was a very clever exhibition. Each man did some hard work and each round was well contested. The evenness of the { men’s merits was apparent at every round. s ‘When a draw was declared the deci- sion was so manifestly fair that ref- eree and boxers were loudly cheered. Then came Billy Jordan, and the event of the evening between Jimmy Lawler and Marty McCue. The two men had agreed to have their own ref- eree, and promised to name their man as soon as they entered the ring. To the disappointment of the larger part of the crowd, Billy Jordan was told to ask for Bob McArthur. Bob was on hand, and when he appeared there was quite a litle hissing. On the former oc- casion McArthur had been hissed out of an Oakland ring. When the gong sounded McCue and Lawler commenced to work at once. Lawler's arms were never at rest, while McCue was calm and even dig- nified in his movements. Thera was some smart hitting, - but Lawler could never find McCue's head, toward which he directed some clever blows. McCue was at his best, and when the round closed Lawler was already feel- ing the need of breath. The second round was anybody’s. Lawler got in one good blow on the neck, and did some leading, but Mc- Cue’s ducking was marvelous. Lawler could never find him. There was a good deal of clinching and their break- ing away was not particularly clean, but each man did lots of fighting. The third round was all McCue's. He hit Lawler just when and where he pleased. . In the fourth round Lawler got in another blow and McCue slipped, but he got on his feet instantly and got in several heavy drives before the round closed. In the fifth Lawler tried to derive some advantage by using his head on McCue's breast, and for this he was roundly hissed. The sixth round was all McCue'’s, and he literally made a punching bag of his opponent. The seventh was a repetition of its predecessor, and at its close Lawler was so dazed that he was only saved by the gong from being finished. He affected to belfeve that he thought the bout was over and stayed in the center of the ring to hear the decision. The eighth round was lively for both men. Lawler recovered somewhat, but could do no effective work, while Mc- Cue, although showing evidence of be- ing tired, did some heavy punching. Then, to everybody's surprise, Mc- Arthur declared it a draw." President Fitzgerald of the Reliance Club, several directors and, Chief Lloyd declared the decision a shameless steal from McCue, and Fitzgerald said he wished he had power to set it aside. The betting at the San Francisco poolrooms was all in favor of Lawler, and everybody declared that the de- cision had been given to save them. There was so much indignation among the crowd that Chief Lloyd detailed Officer Scanlan to protect McArthur til he took the train across the bay. WILL NOT CUT RATES Has Issued a Definite Notice to That Effect. Confines the War to Ter- ritory of the Canadian Pacific., Policy of the Southern Pacific ‘Will Be Decided in Chicago To-Day. z WTRAFFIC OFFICERS MEET. Passengers Can Travel From Halifax to St. Paul for Eighteen Dollars. CHICAGO, Feb. 23.— The Union Pa- cific has decided not to take any part in the transcontinental rate war. It issued notice to-day that after con- sidering the matter it had decided not to use the cut rates through the Mis- souri River gateways. This action on its part will help to strengthen the situation materially. Other roads will now be less inclined ihan ever to al- low the war to spread beyond the ter- ritory in which the Canadian Pacific is an active competitor. The rate war, about which there has lately been so many conflicting rumors and surmises, was started some little while ago by the Canadian Pacific on its through travel from Eastern points to its Pacific Coast terminals and had its origin in the jealousy of the three northern lines with regard to the rush of travel to the Klondike gold fields. The Canadian Pacific has always claimed, and its claim has been al- lowed, a differential on through travel of $7 50 first class and $5 second class. When the Klondike rush commenced the other two northern lines, the Northern Pacific and Great Northern, claimed that this differential was not a just one, and in order to secure their share of the travel reduced their rates to meet the difference. This reduction was met by the Canadian Pacific with still another cut, and it was not long before rates were slashed to the pres- ent prices of $40 first class and $30 sec- ond class from New York to Portland and Puget Sound ports, and to $31 50 and $26 50 from Chicago to the same terminals. Tickets have been sold in individual cases even cheaper than this, notwith- standing the interstate law, and emi- grants landing in Halifax from Europe can now go to St. Paul, Minn., for $18, which is cheaper than the fare from New York to Chicago on any road ex- cept those allowed differentials where the fare is $16. The Southern Pacific has so far re- fused to take any part in the war, claiming that the amount of Klondike business coming via San Francisco would not compensate them for the loss they would sustain on their regu- lar travel by cutting the rates to meet those of their northern competitors and absorbing the steamer rates from here to Portland as well. There is a meeting of the different traffic associations scheduled to take place in Chicago to-day, and not until after that meeting will the final policy of the Southern Pacific be definitely settled. It i reported among the street that tickets are being sold in this city over the Northern Pacific to Eastern points, the passengers going from here to Portland by either boat or train and eastward from there taking advantage of the cut rates from that point, which, added to the steamer rates of $12 and $6 from this city or the regular train rates of $17 and $12 net, still come un- der the regular through rates on the Southern Pacific from San Francisco to Chicago and Atlantic coast points. Judge Hall Sustained. OAKLAND, Feb. 23—The Supreme Court has sustained Judge S. P. Hall in his decision declining to hear the applica- tion of George A. Aldrich, who sought to be restored to capacity after Judge Ogden had refused him. In the decision the Justices, with Henshaw and Temple dis- senting, sa “The provision in section 1766, C. C. P., authorizing the court to re- store the person adjudged insane or in- competent to capacity is only applicable to persons adjudged insane or incompe- tent and for whom guardians have been appointed under section 1764, C. C. P. The application of it to persons committed to asylums is utterly inconsistent with the government of those institutions accord- ing to_the requirements and regulations of the Political Code.” Ex-Congressman Towne Coming. OAKLAND, Feb. 23.—Ex-Congressman C. A. Towne will speak here Friday even- ing in the Exposition building instead of the Macdonough Theater, as at first an- nounced. He will arrive in the city Fri- day, accompanied by Nathan Cole, a member of the executive committee of the National Silver Republican party. Mr. Towne has held some very successful meetings in Southern California and will go from her to Oregon. He is chairman of the national committee of his party and its recognized organizer. There will be a meeting of the local committee Thursday evening to compiete the ar- rangements for Friday's meeting. Pleasanton Paper War. OAKLAND, Feb. 23.—The fight of the Pleasanton Times, R. H. Magill editor, for the town printing, is now in the hands of Judge Hall. Magill made a bid for the town printing, putting up gold in< stead of a check, which the advertise- ment called for. He was the lowest bid- der, but the Town Trustees decided to give the work to the Bulletin. Magill got out an injunction and now the affair is tied up In court, having been submitted to-day. To Hang on a Wednesday. OAKLAND, Feb. 23.—Judge Ellsworth set the date for the execution of Ben- jamin L. Hill to-day for Wednesday, April 6. When asked why he named Wednes- day instead of Friday the Judge replied: “I’don’t know of any reason why day should be set aside exclusively as hang- Seu's any. If the law is-carried out ba this case the custom will be changed as far as this court is concerned.” This aft- ernoon Hill was returned to San Quentin. e Death Caused by a Rusty Nail. BERKELEY, Feb. 22.—Rosa Vierra, the ten-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Vierra of Tenth street, near Chan- nlnf way, West Berkeley, died yesterday f lockjaw. On Sa.turda'ir last the little glrl while at play stepped on a rusty nail. 'rom the seemingly trivial wound lock- jaw set in, and in spite of the efforts of a physicjan death resulted. ————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— The fac-simile signature of is on every wrapper af PASTARIA.
