THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1898 1 5 ALAMEDA WELCOMED WITH 1OUD IALLELUJARS General Booth Will Spend To-Day in | Oakland. Mayor Thomas Greets the Well-Known Evan- gelist. Greatly Grieved That His Son Would Not Meet Him Privately. THE ARMY NOT ENGLISH. In the Future the International Head- quarters May Be in New York. General Booth, the head of the Sal- | vation Army in all countries, arrived at Sixteenth street depot this evening | and was welcomed by Mayor Thomas There are American officers in England | and English officers here, and the same | is true of officers speaking every lan- | guage. “The Volunteers? 1 do not wish to reopen that subject. The details lead- ing up to the leaving of the army by my son Ballington have been given to | the world and I have' no defense to | make. I met him in New York and we conversed in the presznce of others. I| did not meet my son alone—he declined | to meet me. I do not know his attitude and only God can understand the depth | of anguish such an estrangement has | caused and is causing me. I do not | know what is the feeling among the| Volunteers and my son declined to tell me. However, since I took the hand of | vour President at Washington I have | seen that the feeling of loyalty in.the | Salvation Army to its principles is| stronger than ever before,” | With General Booth comes Com- mander Booth-Tucker, Colonel Edward | Higgins, chief secretary to Commander | Booth-Tucker; Commissioner Alexan- | der Nicol of London, editor-in-chief of International Publications; Colonel J. | Lawley, the singer and aide-de-camp | of General Booth, and Brigadier W. | | Cox. : The programme for Sunday is as fol- ows: Sunday Feb. a. m Tonster | knee-drill led by Major Winct in Sal_ | vation Army Hall; 9:30 a. m., parade | from Salvatiom Army Hall, corner Twelfth ‘and Washingion streets, in charge of Staff-Captain Dunham; 10:30 a. m., general speaks in Macdonough Theater, corner Fourteenth street and Broadway; 2 p. m., parade from Sal- | vation Army Hall, in charge of Ma jor Winchell; 3 p. m., in the Macdon ough Theater, the general leads; 7:1 p. m., prayer meeting in theater led by Staff-Captain Reid; $ p. nt., the gen- | eral speaks in the Macdonough Thea- | ter on “Salvation.” Both parades will be headed by the Pacific Coast Guards’ band, and all efficers and soldiers not detailed to special duties are expected to take part.

I am | anxious to see whether the first prin- | ciples of the army are being faithfully | adhered to, and if the sole object for | which the army was organized is being | carried out. | “The object of the Salvation Army is | to labor among the lowest classes of society in all countries, and to try and élevate them. It is an easy matter to drift away from the slums to drawing | rooms and’ other comfortable places, | but the army’s fleld is among the | lowly.

Water Rates May at Last| Be Fixed by the Courts. . A Doubt as to the Value of| Councilman Henneberry’s | Resolution. Pressure Being Brought to Bear on Woodward to Change His Vote. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, | 908 Broadway, Feb. 26. | Indignation over the action of the majority of the Council in fixing water | rates has given place to calm thoughts, | and now the people of this city are| busy collecting legal opinions regarding | the validity of a résolution and the of the Mayor's veto when at-| tached to a water-rate ordinance. | A thorough study of the water rates | as fixed by the committee after proper | consideration and taking of testimony | and the rate as arbitrarily fixed by the Henneberry schedule shows that ac- | cording to the water companies’ own | figures they will receive in the event of the infamous job being eventually suc- cessful nearly twice the income they | received last year. One proprietor of | many blocks has figured up that the | income for the allied companies if they have their way will for the year com- mencing July 1 be not less than $500,- | 000. The significance of this can be | understood when it is remembered that | the very highest income ever received | by the Contra Costa Company when it owned the entire Council and had no competitor was but $404,000. Yet, in the face of this statement the agents of the companies are still de- | claring that Oakland should be gen- | erous to them because it is a good thing | to keep them both in the field. | Mayor Thomas has stated in to-day’s | Call that he will veto the ordinance | when it comes before him and there is | some doubt as to whether his veto will | be effective or not in killing the meas- ure. The consensus of opinion of sev- | eral attorneys, including that of Citv Attorney Dow, is expressed in the fol- | lowing facts: | The State constitution provides for | the fixing of water rates by municipal | bodies, but makes no mention of the authority of the Mayor in the premises. | It also provides that under proper con- | | ditions cities can frame charters for | a section providing that all ordinance their own government. In the charter | by which Oakland is governed to-day is must go to the Mayor for his approval | or rejection and that if he does not take | | action on such ordinances within ten | days of their final passage they become a law by reason of their passage by the | AY 0L BULLET | veto it. come up for final passage next week | will be sent to the Mayor and he will ‘ Not being able to secure the necessary eight votes to pass the meas- | ure over the veto the ordinance will be | killed.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Feb. 26. The following paragraph shows what William E. Curtis, Washington corre- | spondent of the Chicago Record, thinks | of one of Alamede County’s applicants | for office: “The most unique application for of- | fice that has been filed under this ad- ministration comes from Alonzo Brad- ford, who wishes to be postmaster at Haywards, Cal. Accompanying his ap- plication is a letter of recommendation, | signed by a large number of Repub- lican politicians and citizens of the place, together with an X-ray photo- graph of his left knee. The photo- graph shows that a bullet entered his cap and ledged between the bones of the upper and lower parts of the leg. The bullet is still there, it being im- the only way in which it can be re- moved is by amputation of the leg. Mr. Bradford stated that the bullet was received at the battle of Fort Donel- son, and that he had carried it ever since. Mr. Bradford was postmaster under the Harrison administration.” ¢ ‘When seen at his' house he said: “Yes, I sent that picture on to show them how I was fixed and that I still carried one of Jeff Davis' bullets around with me. I did not have the photograph made at first with the idea of sending it to Washington, however. The ball has caused me considerable trouble at times and I wanted to have it extracted, if possible. So I went to a doctor of San Francisco, who put my knee under the X ray to locate the bullet. | “I sent the picture to Washington to the Postmaster-General on tne third | of this month, together with three peti- | tions containing a long list of names of Haywards people. I also sent a photograph to Congressman Hilborn with a letter explaining the situation.” George Oakeg aiready had the office when this reached Washington, but it opens up a new field for applicants for Federal positions. . ————— Attempt to Break Jail. OAKLAND, Feb. 26.—Jailer Ham- merton of the City Prison believes that he frustrated a wholesale jail delivery yesterday morning.. While making his | rounds he saw whitewash upon the floor. Looking more closely he saw that paper was sticking to the ceiling of what is known as the new jail. It is directly under Judge Allen’s cham- bers and only separated by a pine board floor. The prisoners had secured a knife and cut the torgue out. They had, replaced the board and covered it up with paper stuck with soap. The officers feel certain that they know the ringleader, but will give out no names at present. League of the Cross Benefit.

McSweeney. It will take place at St. Francis de Sales Hall. | panies declare that in such an event the Mayor's veto will be of no value | because the Council is authorized by the State constitution to fix the rates. | This view of the matter is contro- | verted by several attorneys. They de- | clare that if it be optional with the | Council to fix the rates by resolution | that having taken the | go_through the proper form of pro- | cedure as prescribed in the charter, | and if vetoed by the Mayor is a deadf letter. Then the question arises that, the ordinance having been disposed of, will the resolution which has not yet been rescinded and which was passed last City Attor- | ney Dow advised the Council before a | vote was taken that any attempt to fix | eration as required by law would be in- valid, and he also said he would not defend the resolution if it should be taken into the courts. To-day he re- peated that opinion. It was stated to-day that the Mayor had not the power to revoke the ap- pointment of a Councilman after hav- ing once made it. Although he ap- painted a Police Judge and revoked the appointment the revocation simply | COU N TY : NEWS : 21 testimony, and without any ponaies | changed the name of the Judge, making | him a Justice of the Peace, but did not put him out of office or in any way change his standing. In the matter of the Councilmen it is different. Having made the appointment “‘for the unex- pired term’” the appointee has the same powers as any other Councilman, and can only be removed by the process of law, namely, impeachment for mal- feasance in office. The Council meets again next Monday night, but although the water rates will not come up, there will undoubtedly be a large crowd on hand to give an ovation to the mem- bers who are o0 grossly violating their trusts by saddling an illegal steal upon the city. Throughout all the talk and argu- ment made by the agents of the water companies, not one of them has re- ferred to the fact that the rates as es- tablished by the committee provide a clear interest of 6 per cent on the in- vestment, and in addition allow $25,000 which the Jaw does not demand in the interest of the corporations. Extraordinary Dpressure is being brought on Councilman Woodward to induce him to change his vote when the ordinance comes back for final passage. No one has much hope that such will be the case, but there is of course a chance that he may vote with the five who are mindful of their obligations. e HELD COURT IN PRISON. John W. Lynn Attempts to Jump Through the Court Room ‘Window. OAKLAND, Feb. 26.—When brought into the Police Court this morning John W. Lynn, who shot his wife five times and then feigned imsanity for so long, made a dive, to go through a win- dow of the, courtroom. The cracking glass attracted the lobby, and three or four men grabhed Liynn before he could repeat his effort. He seemed to possess superhuman strength and fought like ~.a demon, throwing off the men and officers with apparent ease. Clerk Hennessey grabbed the man by the throat and Jocked his arms behind him. The offi- cers then handcuffed the fellow, and he led downstairs and locked in his iron cell. After the docket had been called Judge Allen, Clerk Hennessey, Bailiff Mitchell and other officers repaired to the tank, where court was held, and the case against Lynn continued until March 12. Lynn was represented by his attorney. - . At the Theaters. AKLAND, Feb. 28.—Mahara’s Min- st dome to the Oakland Theater | hext week with a_troupe of forty-five people.

How the Missionaries Enjoyed | Christmas With the Heathens. A. P. Alexander Would Like to Organize an Immense Picnic. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Feb. 25. Tens of thousands of members of the | Congregational churches and Sunday- school pupils who subscribed to the South Sea mission work of the Morning Star will read with interest the follcw- ing letter from A. P. Alexander, who sends island news to The Call when- ever opportunity offers. The latest news has come from the Marshall Isl- ands by way of China: MOLOWONLAP, Marshall Islands. As another opportunity has presented jtself for sending a letter to my home friends, I as usual have taken advantage | of it. After sending my last letter on Novem- ber 19 we raised anchor and made for the Archer, which had come up outside of the reef and dropped anchor. We did not reach her until late in the afternoon. She is the same size as the Morning Star, but can make from eight to ten knots an hour. us a crate of onions which were greatly appreciated by us after our many din- ners composed .of canned vegetables. By 5 p. m. we were off for Arno, which place or lagoon we did not reach until Monday morning early. In trying to anchor at this place we broke our anchor, and had to get out another which ‘we had on board. We remained at Arno Monday and Tuesday, visiting the stations and carrying workers to them from other sta- tions, while their workers we took with us for a short rest. From Arno we went on to Mejuro, and here we had a fine an- chorage. We spent Thanksgiving at this Place, and had our Thanksgiving dirner on board the Star, which consisted of chicken soup, roast turkey, boiled onions, mashed potatoes (canned), cranberry sauce (canned), mince pie, nuts and cof- fee. After dinner Captain and Mrs. Bray, Miss Olin, Floyd Brock, Clarence Wickoft and myself went in the long boat ovef to the English (New Zealand) trading station for a little visit. That night ‘—4 had a good downpour of rain and caught plenty of water with which to wash. The next morning we left for the upper station, which we reached shortly after noon, but owing to its location anchored about three or four miles away, opposite Worths station. We saw Captain Worth only for a few moments while he was aboard the Star, but could see that he was greatly changed. Monday morning we took the schools on board and were again under way, this time for Aur, which we reached the next merning at 10: As there was not much to do there we raised anchor and reached this place (Molowonlap) at 4 2. m., December 1. Here we found a German schooner, and after going aboard her and visiting with_ the captain and officers returned to the Star, where 1 am now writing to home friends. 1 wish it were possible for me to give all the children from the Sabbath schools, both in Oakland and San Francisco, a day's outing on at_least one of these Jittle islands in the South Seas.

Two Men Working the Stores of Ala- meda—Some Clothing Stolen. ALAMEDA, Feb. 26.—A couple of men, apparently from Oakland, have been working the stores of Alameda recently and taking advantage of the inattention of the proprietors to help themselves to things that attracted their fancy. On Thursday they called at a clothing-store | on Park street, and- while one of them asked for some goods that required the proprietor’s presence in the back part of the store the other presumably helped | himself to several pairs of trousers lying in a pile in the front part. He must hidden them under his coat, for the pro- prietor noticed' nothing especially out of ¢ until he began thinking the mat- ter over, and on making an investiga- tion found the trousers missing. Two men answering the description of this couple also visited the store of Julius Brown, on Webster street, and attempted to steal several pairs of trousers.. Mr. Brown was waiting on another customer in the rear of the store, and the thievas coolly started to make up a package of the clothes. Mrs. Brown was in the rear room, from which there is a peephole into the store, and chancing to look through | this, she saw the fellows in the very act of stealing the goods. She at = once alarmed her husband, who started after a policeman; but the men ran down Web- ster street and escaped. Two fellows a swering their description have been n ticed on the Oakland cars coming this way lately, and they are believed to be the thieves. Alameda News Notes. ALAMEDA, Feb. 26.—Rev.
