OAKLAND, Cal., February 24, 1898. E. W. Woodward, Councilman of Fifth Ward, Oakland, Cal.—Dear Sir: On the 18th inst. I appointed you as Councilman to represent the Fifth Ward of this city, and also to represent the peocple of the entire city as well. You accepted the position and assured me at the time that you would endeavor at all times to act for the best interests of the people. When the resolution fixing water rates was presented to the Coun- cil on last Monday night, it came like a bomb shell into a sleeping camp, and the shell exploded when the vote was taken, and your vote was cast for the resolution. Surprise, disappointment and indignation filled my mind, and the minds of the people feel outraged at the action taken, and I now appeal to you to rescind your action (it is not too late) and to save the people, and I urge you to do this. I do not wish to dictate to any member of the Council how he should vote on any proposition but I ask you in the name of the people in this city to do what I believe to be the right thing as herein indicated and correct the wrong now. It seems you hold the key to the situation— use it. Very respectfully, W. R.

J EARLE _Proud——But There Are Others.” To-day It Presents the ““Others.” scenes ‘of many uproars, but none such | resolution that was rushed through last Monday night. “I understand that the City Attorney has said that our job of last Monday night is not legal,” said Henneberry, “so I propose to get at it another way. I now offer this as an amendment to the ordinance of the committee that has been called for final passage.” President Pringle was surprised at the boldness of the move to upset the honest ordinance and bolster up the jobbery of last Monday at one swoop, and decided that such a step was out of order. He said it should, under the rules, go to the proper committee. Here Heitmann, who has trained with the water companies for years, said that it could be done by taking it section by section and offering each as an amendment. By this underhanded method the people’s ordinance was de- feated piece by piece, and the allied companies completed their job. Brosnahan repeated his old speech that he was votin gwith the water ccmpanies’ men out of pique because his pet measure, the ordinance grading liquor licenses, had been defeated, but nobody believed him. Hezitmann made a complete wreck of his argument. He me speech attempting to show fhat the rates of the poor man were reduced about 10 cents a month. He was shouting out this fact when Gi- rard called his attention to the fact that the companies’ ordinance took off ten cents in one place and added thirty-five cents for a water closet, added something for washing win- dows, doubled the lawn charges, made a charge for a bath, and actually doubled the existing rate. When he heard Girard's figures Heitmann saw that the subterfuge was no good, and quickly subsided while the crowd hissed him. As every sec- tion was voted on the ayes and noes were the same, and when Woodward’s vote was recorded that big crowd hissed and reviled him till the ghost of Judas Iscariot, if he were within hear- ing, must have felt he had company. ‘When the section providing for pay- ing 3 cents for each child at the public schools was brought up Mr. Rowe made another appeal to Woodward. “We pay for our children at home,” said Mr. Rowe, “and when they are at school they are not drinking water at two places and yet we are called upon to vote this money to the com- pany. “Mr. Woodward, I will say for your benefit that we discussed this matter in committee, and after being very liberal to the water companies we al- lowed them a good percentage and a small fortune more. We carefully went over the figures and heard testi- mony till' there was nothing more to investigate, and did our duty I believe intelligently and I know conscien- tiously.” But this appeal to Woodward’s rea- son was as useless as to his manhood, honor and citizenship. The companies pulled the string and the figure moved with unfailing regularity. And every time Woodward did the bidding of the companies that crowd hissed, yelled and reviled him. When all the section had been sub- stituted and the job completed it was seen that the following additional charges had been saddled upon the peo- ple: Twenty-five cents upon the rate- payers for every closet and 35 cents for every bathtub. The charge for ir- rigating lawns is raised from 3 to 5 mills per square yard, and at least $1 20 must be paid to the companies from this source. The rate for public and private schools is raised from 1 cent to 3 cents per pupil. The following ad- ditional increases are made: For each horse kept in livery-stable, from 20 to 25 cents; for each cow, from 10 to 15 cents; for water to make mortar, from 10 to 15 cents per 1000 bricks; to slack lime, from 10 to 15 cents per barrel; for water to settle earth, from 3 to 5 cents per cubic vard. Meter rates are about doubled, being raised from 20 cents to about 40 cents a thousand gallons, and the lowest amount to be paid per month by meter rates is raised from $1 25 to $1 50. The fire hydrant charge is made $3 50 a month instead of $225, and the city, instead of the water company, must pay for the hydrants and cost of set- ting. The following additional charges are also made: For water used for washing sidewalks, fronts of buildings and windows of stores, 1 cent for first twenty lineal feet and one-half cent for each additional lineal foot. As the details of the steal were laid bare by Mr. Girard and Mr. Rowe the crowd groaned and hissed more and more, until sometimes for more than a couple of minutes there was pande- monium. Before consummating the job by taking a final vote on the ordinance as amended Girard made a speech. «I want to express my opimon of my late comrade, Mr. Woodward. I call him comrade no more,” he said. «He said the other day he had no strings on him. He told the truth. He.is bound by ropes, not strings. They are ropes of gold and they may yet lead the way to San Quentin. He has disgraced our Grand Army. He has disgraced his comrades. He should take that honored button off his traitorous breast and he should not be permitted in the company of honest men. “Mr. Hennebery said I was not re- sponsible for my actions. He told the truth. I am not responsible to any water company. I am not responsible to any man’s gold. I am not bound by ropes. Thank God I am free and have not disgraced my G. A. R. badge, which 1 earned honorably.” ‘When Girard sat down the crowd ap- plauded and then some one cried “Woodward”’ and instantly the ap- plauding turned to groans and hisses. As the vote proceeded Woodward voted as the string was pulled. Then came the final outburst of wrath and denun- ciation and the Council adjourned. The crowd waited outside for Wood- ward and when he appeared he was at once surrounded and hustled while the night alr was filled with imprecations. | Between two bodyguards Woodward was escorted along Washington to Thirteenth to avoid the crowd. But the crowd was in no humor to be avoid- | ed and followed closely. Along Thirteenth to Broadway went the hooting procession, increasing in numbers as it proceeded. At Broad- way it moved up again to Fourteenth, and Woodward started in the direction of his home out New Broadway. He had only gone a few yards when the crowd surged so that he realized fhat the irate citizens were not keeping out of bed altogether for fun. There is a candy-store near Four- teenth and Telegraph that rums into San Pablo avenue. Mr. Woodward spied that candy-store and rushed through it with his bodyguard, hoping to avoid the crowd, but he was un- successful. Then occurred a sight never be- fore seen in Oakland. Woodward saw that safety lay in the City Pris- on. He started to run and his in- furiated escort gave chase. There was a hustle as the pursued and| pursuer dashed through the City | Hall Park. Finally Woodward | rushed into the City Prison and the iron gate was locked to prevent the mob from following. ‘When the crowd had nearly dispersed F. J. Moffitt drove up with a hack and Woodward was driven home. The legal aspect of the case is now | interesting. The resolution passed last | Monday night was not rescinded, but | is superseded by the ordinance passed to print to-night, which is identically | the same. The ordinance, however, will be printed five days, and must | then be passed again, after which it | requires the signature of the Mayor. Oakland will in a few days see whether | her Mayor be any more loyal than the | new Councilman he so roundly de-| nounced this afterncon over his signa- | ture. \R. BULL WILL JUDGE THE DOGS Great Preparations Made for the Opening of the New Coursing Park. Splendid Prizes Tempt Leashmen to ‘Enter High-Class Grey- hounds. The Interstate Coursing Club, with I F. Halton secretary, will hold its inaugural meeting on Saturday on the grounds of the Union Coursing Park Association, in | San Mateo County, and it is expected | g, that an immense crowd of leashmen and | the lovers of the grand old sport of cours- | ing will witness the first rundown of an exceedingly large stake. Although the weather looks threaten- | ing, the club is in hopes of having a fine | day for its opening, but whether it raihs | or shines the meeting will be held. The new park is beautifully situated. The grand stand, which has cost co! siderable money to_construet, will accom- modate several thousand people and a magnificent view of each course may be obtained from any seat under its roof. | The park itself has been pronounced per- | fect Ly experts for coursing, as the| land is springy and just sufficiently soft | to enable the dogs to fly over it without | sustaining any injury to their feet. The hares now in the paddocks have | been fed on corn for some days and it is expected that they will give a first-class account of themselves: when they are | called upon to speed for their lives to- ward the escape, which will be at least one mile from the place where the dogs are slipped. The English judge, Mr. Bull, will be in the saddle on Saturday. Among the local leashmen there is much interest manifest- | ed in what they expect will be somewhat i of a change in the American style of | judging courses. It will be rather severe on Mr. Bull to judge two days’ meetings_immediately following his_arrival from England, but | the club is determined to carry out itsy programme at all hazards and as a mat- | ter of fact a large crowd will be on hand | to see how the new broom sweeps. Passengers to the new park must takei the San Francisco and San Mateo line of electric cars, which will land them within a very short walk of the coursing sward. By taking the Mission street cars trans- fers will be issued at Fourteenth street to the new line. The principal races to be decided are the John Grace challenge cup, the Belle Brandon challenge cup and the Union Park derby. The first prize in the race for the John Grace cup amounts to the very respectable sum of $630, the second prize is $315, the third and fourth $125, the fifth, sixth and seventh $55 and six more prizes of $30 each are given. The prizes in the race for the Belle Brandon cup amount to $170, the first prize being $85. The first prize in the Union Park derby is $120, and there are three others amounting to $120.

Lieutenant Peary Will Give Some Valuable Information Regard- ing It Next Sunday. At the Baldwin Theater next Sunday night Lieutenant R. B. Peary will deliver his farewell lecture upon his adventures in northernmost Greenland and while upon his recent expedition in search of the north pole. The explorer has already given two lectures here, and so successful were they that hundreds of requests poured in upon him asking for at least another one. Among the requests were some calling, for the lieutenant's views upon matters appertaining to the outfitting necessary for one who intends to travel northward. These requests have come from people who have a trip to the Klondike in view, and it is quite unnecessary to state that the explorer’s talk upon the subject would be most beneficial to them. He has con- sented to include this subject among the others upon which he is to speak at thg coming lecture. He has had no end' of experience with dog teams and sledges, and will impart some very valuable in- formation regarding the rapid little ani- mals in reference to their training, feed- ing, habits and endurance. His many months spent among the glaciers has made him an authority upon the dress- ing necessary for that country, and he will dwell upon the various equipments which will be found necessary for a trip north. His ideas regarding matters of food for cold climates are most impor- tant. He can tell what to take, how to pack it and how to cache it to protect it against the elements. The lecture will have a very interesting feature in the 100 superb lantern views to be exhibited. These views are from photographs taken by the explorer on his last expedition in the north and are most valuable for illus- tration purposes. ——————— Berkeley News Notes.
