WOODWARD 1S HEARD AT LAST Councilman Before the Grand Jury for an Hour. lnquiry Is Going Back to ‘Where the Bold Scheme Began. Many Subpenas Are Issued, Made Returnable for Next Tuesday. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, March 4. The Grand Jury is gradually working | backward, and it will soon be seeking | information regarding the circum- stances surrounding the appointment of the last Republican City Convention. { It was at that time that the scheme | resulting in the passage of the extor- tionate water rate ordinance had its birth. In some unaccountable manner the Republican City Central Commit- tee surrendered the authority of ar- ranging for primaries to a committee of twenty-one, which in turn named EBELL LADIES [N A QUANDARY The Question of Federa- tion to Come Up on Tuesday. A Committee Which Objects to Being Suddenly Cast Aside. Members Are Equally Divided on a Subject of Great Im- portance. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, March 4. The Ebell Society will meet Tuesday afternoon, and the gathering is anticl- pated with much interest by the two factions—for it is a fact that there are differences of opinion in the Ebell. The question of State federation is now oc- cupying the attention of the Iladies, and it now appears that the question was not disposed of at the last meet- ing as many supposed. Mrs. A. W. Bishop holds that those who are ‘n favor o' federating with | other clubs in the State have been Lo | J. E. CROOKS, Foreman of the Grand Jury That Is Investigating Stories cf Bribery in Oakland. the one hundred delegates to the mu- nicipal convention. At that time talk of bribery was commenced, and it has been kept up ever since, and the Grand Jury intends to begin at the source if it can find out where the source lies. To-day Colonel L. L. Bromwell was a witn He it was who presented a petition to Councilman Upton asking that he vote against the alternation of the hydrants. Mr. Upton voted against the measure, believing that it is better to have the full benefit of both com- | panies in case of fire. Colonel Bromwell was asked why he was interested in the petition and as to his connection | with the water companies, but little in- formation was gained. This afternoon E. W. after being kept two days in the hall- way, was before the jury for an hour and was very closely questioned about his brief official life. He was asked about his first interview with the | Mayor, when he was told by Mr. Thomas that he was to be a Council- man, and also regarding the sources whence he received his information that caused him to vote for water rates at such short notice. The major had a very interesting and trying time for an hour, and was told to come back next Tuesday afternoon, to which time the Grand Jury adjourned. The District Attorney made out a large bunch of subpenas this afternoon, and next Tuesday it is probable that some of the members of the solid six will be on hand for examination. This morning Major Woodward was served with a notice that his modest office rent of $750 would be $100 after April 1. I don’t know whether I will go or not,” sald the Mayor. *I consider such action unfair, and it is the least of my troubles. I shall not cross the bridge till T get to it, and the request of my office associates was very undig- nified.” Harry W. Thomas, secretary of the Board of Works, was in attendance on the Grand Jury all yesterday and to- day, but he has not yet been exam- | ined, and was told to return next Tues- day. CAR JUMPED THE TRACK. Three Persons fijfir;fl by an Acci- dent on the Shattuck-Avenue Electric Line. BERKELEY, March 4—An electric car of the Oakland Consolidated line jumped the track this afternoon as it was making the turn from Shattuck avenue into Ade- line street, North Berkeley, and injured three people. Mrs. Frank Becker of 3024 Deakin street, North Berkeley, was struck by the car, and besides receiving S hevere nervous shock she was badly bruised about the shoulders and hips. Mrs. Becker is an old lady, and is par- tially paralyzed. so she was unable to get out of the way of the car. Dr. F. R. §voolsey attended her, and helped to re- move her to her home. A young lady, Miss A, Collins, who was on the car, was badly cut about the face and head. She was able, however, to continue her journey to Oakland. A little irl about § years old was also cut by e giass. "No -explanation has been made why the car should leave the "The car had just completed the ck. ::;n ‘and was moving quite rapidly. The Dassengers in the car received a’segere shaking up and scare, but were other- wise unhurt. Only one person in fifteen has perfect eyes, the large percentage of defective- ness prevailing among fair-haired peo- ple. ‘Woodward, | | beaten, while Mrs. John Russ, who is in favor of federation, declares thatthe | | cruelty, and obtained a decree, as shel matter is not settled, and that there will be another debate and ultimately a vote in its favor. The question of whether the Ebell shall confine itself exclusively to {tself, | or whether it shall in some degree lose its identity somewhat by merging into |a State federation of clubs, was| | brought up about two months ago, | and a committee was appointed to | communicate with other States and | find out how they stand in the matter and also how the clubs regard woman suffrage. It is admitted, though it has not been proclaimed yet from the housetops, that woman suffrage is at a low ebb just now in Alameda County. It is a subject with which the Ebell has little to do, the members realizing | that it is a delicate question. The com- | mittee, therefore, was carefully in- structed to see how the State federa- tion of ladies’ clubs viewed the suff- rage question. The society was discussing the mat- ter at its last meeting when President Bunnell asked that some one make a motion so that the matter could be properly discussed. To the surprise of all, Miss Babson moved that the committee be dismissed. A still greater surprise was caused when the motion carried by a small majority. Many ladies wondered what had happened, and, had men been members of the Ebell, it would have been said that it was a case of poli- tice, but politics are rigidly excluded from the Ebell. 7 The committee is thus in a quandary and has a lot of work on hand that it does mot quite know how to dis- pose of. It has correspondence from twenty-seven States to attend to, and it has as yet made no report, and re- fuses to consider itself disbanded at a moment's notice. The Interest is very keen, and the matter is far from settled. “The Ebell is too big and important to refuse to keep abreast of the times,” said a prominent member of the club to-day. ‘‘We must branch out, and the difference of opinion now is over the question of whether we sha . affillate with other clubs and form a State fed- eration, or whether we shall keep our- selves to ourselves. The club is about evenly divided on the question, and, as it conce.ns all our 400 and over members, it cannot be handled hur- riedly. As a matter of fact, the ques- tion may have a permanent effect on the future of the Ebell.” A DIVORCED WIFE'S CLAIM. She Wants a Portion of the Property Left by Her Deceased Husband. ALAMEDA, March 4—Some time ago Peter C. Helseley, an old smitchman, died in this city, leaving a little plece of prop- erty, he devised to his daughter an Within a few days a Mrs. put in a clalm for a portion of the prop- erty.

He bought the Alameda property and subsequently his wife obtained a di- yorce and married again.

DESERTED HER AT THE ALTAR The Bride and a Cozy Home, but No Groom. Matthew Burns Dropped Out an Hour Before the Wedding. Affair Still A Mystery to AllL Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, March 4. On Washington's birthday Matthew Burns left his love, Miss Julia Walsh, and his last promise was that he would obtain a marriage license the following day and that they should b: married the next day. Burns kept nis promise about getting the license, but forgot all about the marriage ceremony, and he cannot be found to give an explanation. The little romance came to light to- day when Mrs. Kuhlken, who owns a house at Berkeley, expressed her sur- prise that the parties who rented it have not yet occupied it, although the rent was paid in advance. About two weeks ago the little cottage on Addi- was scheduled for the following day. The next morning Burns procured a license at the County Clerk’s office and asked that it be kept quiet as he did not intend to use it for a few days. The same evening he apreared at the house early, and after expressing his satisfac- tion with the preparations he departed, presumably to prepare himself for the The prospective bride's brother has sister married, for he has asked the furniture dealer to take back the goods. Miss Walsh is said to have been so heartbroken over the affair that she has been sent back to relations in Ire- land. BUTTER AND CHEESE. Health Officers Making an Inspection to Enforce an Ordinance. ALAMEDA, March 4—Having put the tuberculin ordinance into effective opera- tion so far milk from tested cows, the health au- thorities have been turning their attention to the other portion of the ordinance, except from d been applied. For some time Inspectors Carpenter and Maollot have been at work quietly visiting the groceries and gather- ing data, ascertaining the source of sup- ply of the butter and cheese sold here, and they will soon be ready to act. They will visit the dairies suppiying these ar- ticles, and wherever no test has been made, or the owners refuse to make such test, their product will be tabooed and not be allowed to be offered for sale in this city.

OAKLAND, March 4—The illness of | Judge Ellsworth that caused the continu- | ance of the John McGinnis murder trig. | vesterday, was so much worse to-day | that the Judge was not permitted to see any one outside of the members of his family. He has been ailing for several days, but insisted upon keeping his piace in court. For a week past he has had a flre[behlnd the bench and worn an over- coat. Judge Greene is in New York City, and ! no one knows when he will return. With only two departments, Judges Ogden and Hall, in operation, they find themselves very busy men. To-night Judge Ogden continued Harris-Ames suit until Tuesday with the understanding that should Judge Ellsworth fail to recover by that time | he would take up one or the other of the criminal cases now partially heard b Judge Ellsworth. Those are the Roet and McGinnis trials, both of which are set for Tuesday morning. Judge Ogden just completed a year's work in the crim- inal department, and his friends fear that he will break down from the strain should he be compelled to take it up again, as he is an_extremely hard worker. Judge Hall's department has a civil case set for every day next week. but he stated to-night that should Judge Ellsworth con- tinue unable to hold court mext week, he, too, would take a criminal case and continue his civil cases until such a time as the others were completed. ——————————— FELL BEFORE A TRAIN. Narrow Escape of Miss Bessie J. Wood While Riding a Bicycle. OAKLAND, March 4—While riding a bicycle this afternoon, in Alameda, Miss Bessie J. Wood of Twenty-third avenue fell in front of a local train on Railroad avenue and was saved from being killed by her cousin, Mr. Bert Swim. As it was her wheel was smasted and the young | lady is nursing a badly bruised and | sprained knee. Miss Wood is just learning to ride and with her cousin went to Alameda to spend an hour or two. While on the avenue she noticed the approach .of the local train. Like many new riders she lost | her presence of mind and control of her wheel. Instead of clearing the track she ran into it and fell upon the rails. Mr. Swim saw_her start and knew what to expect. Dismounting and dropping his wheel he ran to his cousin, dragging her off of the track just as the train passed. Narrow Escape in the Fog. OAKLAND, March 4.—Another collision | was narrowly averted on the bay to-day | in the dense .og. The ferry-steamer Piedmont left this side of the bay at 12:30 | p.m. with the passengers of three trains. | When off Goat Island the Arcata was | met, inward bound. They grazed one an- | othér, which nearly created a panic among the passengers. They rushed for the life-preservers, but the Arcata dis- appeared in the fog in an instant. The | Pledmont’s engines were stopped and re- versed just as the Arcata came in sight, but not In time to wholly avert the pend- ing danger. | To Farm Town Lots. | OAKLAND, March 4—The citizens’ | committee appointed to perfect plans for | the trial of the Pingree plan for | the assistance of poor families met last | evening.

W. were arrested for glving away trading | stamps, in violation of the anti-stam: ordinance recently passed by the COUnclP.‘ The facts are admitted by the defendants, | but they claim the ordinance is unconsti- | tutional.

Three Fast Fights for the Local Amateur Cham- pionship. Monthly Meetings Will Be Held and a Ladies’ Night Soon to Be Arranged. “Talk about the Ryan-Green fight, why they ain’t in it. The San Fran- cisco Athletic Club is the only place to see true sport.” Such were the remarks passed last evening after the programme arranged by the associa- tion to celebrate the opening of their new quarters at Sixth and Shipley streets had been played out. Three special contests for the ama- teur championship of the local clubs had been arranged for, and the way the gloves landed on the anatomy of the various contestants was proof pos- itive that the goes were for blood and the reputation of the several clubs rep- resented by hard-hitting youths. Mr. Denehy was unanimously de- clared to be thc master of ceremonies and he carried off his part with good grace and satisfaction to the large audience present. President of the Club Alex Greggains made the opening re- marks and the sport was on. The first attraction of the evening was in the form of heavy lifting with the teeth by Professor Leo Arnodo, and the weight of dumbbells placed in the lift- ing apparatus was finally discovered to be 300 pounds. The work of the professor was heartily cheered, but it was easily seen that the audience was awaiting more blood-stirring or blood- spilling_exercise. The first go was between Peter Mc- Fadden of the Manhattans and Jack Maynard of the S. F. A. C. The lads, Who were but 19 years of age, stripped at 115 pounds and started in with the determination to do or_ die. Jimmy Lawlor was referee, and after some spirited fighting the bout was declared a draw, as each lad had attempted to assassinate the other with well directed punches. Both fought well and the decision was accepted as a just one. It was noticed at this stage of the game that Jim Markland was one of the interested spectators, and it was proposed that he referee the following bout, but he declined for the reason that he had worn his new clothes to celebrate the evening. He was accom- panied by the capitalists, Colonel Bar- rett of New York City, Alexander Bar- rett of Ohio and Mike Hennessy, one of the crack riders of the coast. J. B. Gill was also with the party and watched the contests with interest. The next on the programme was Ser- geant Michael Joseph Conboy, who took | copious notes of the affair, as he was there in the interests of law and order as well as being one of the invited guests who had a reserved seat. Then came Sheriff Whelan in a short speech, followed by Mr. Hanson with a song. Jack Ennis and Kid McCarthy, both f the San Francisco Athletic Club, oed the scratch, with Bantam Anthony as referee, and after four rounds of hard punching Ennis was given the de- cision for the superior work done. Charles Kelly made his appearance and sang a touching ballad, and a youth described as “Kid” Carr followed. Then came the knock-out. Frank Schuler of the San Francisco Athletic Club and W. Preese of the Manhattan Athletic Club, who was stated to have recently arrived from New York City, where he had won a lengthy string of amateur scalps, stepped into the ring. The rounds were for blood. Each scored a knock-down within two rounds made out her case. Tescheira was direct- ed to pay 1110 a month alimony, and it is supposed that in order to obviate doing this he has given up his job and left for unknown parts. Alameda News Noues.

It is probable that within a few weeks the San Francisco Labor Council will be strengthened by the addition of the Printing Pressmen and Feeders’ Union A delegation from that body was present at last night's meeting of the Council to gain information regarding the benefits of af- filiation with the central body. The Typo- graphical Union will put its nine-hour workday schedule into effect in the local book and job offices on April 4. A canvass has been made of these offices and no trouble is expected, as the proprietors seem willing to clip off an hour without reducing wages. A mass meeting of jou neyman taflors will be held at 102 O’Far- reil street on Monday evening for the purpose of strengthening the ranks of the newly formed tailors’ union. e e e e s Dr. Gibbon’s Dispensary, 625 KEARNY ST.
