THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 30, 1898 — ALAMEDA COUNTY NEWS. MCKENZIE 1§ NOW IN JALL Confessed to the Grand Jury He Told Two Stories. Trouble Arises From the Note Sent to Officer Ham- merton. Harry Thomas Summoned to Give Evidence at To-Day’s Session. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, | 908 Broadway, March 29. Robert McKenzie, who carried the Jetter from Secretary Harry. Thomas to Officer Hammerton asking for $100, is in jail by order of the Grand Jury.

Political Guards Traffic in the Drug and Make Big Money. Some Convicts With Coin Are Able to Purchase Immunity From Hard Labor. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, March 29. So long as the State prisons are po- litfcal Institutions periodical riots and | murders, due to the use of oplum, will | continue to shock the public and dis grace the State.

SHOT HIMSELF NS BED Suicide of Emele Peterson at an Early Moraing Hour. A Cancer and Love Affairs Said to Have Been the Cause of It. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, March 29. Mrs. J. B. Myrick of 1674 Eighth street found Emele Peterson dead in bed this | forenoon, he having shot himself in the right temple some time previous. She at once notified Fred Eiben, Peterson’s brother-in-law, to the dead man’s room. The body was wrapped up in the bedding and a der- ringer was lying upon the pillow. Peterson has been a sufferer from a cancer on his face, which greatly wor- ried him. He worked for Eiben & Noe during the former’s absence in the East. On his return Peterson gave up his posi- tion because it was 8o confining. He is well known here, and it is said that he has been disappointed in love. The deceased was a native of Germany and 33 years old. He was unmarried. He was out late last night, and, when he failed to get up for breakfast, nothing was thought of it. Later Mrs. Myrick went to his room, but found it locked. This was unusual, and she looked under the transom. It was then that she dis- covered something wrong. He yriting of any kind to explain the rash ced. An inquest was held to-njght and death ascribed to his own hand ¥rom despond- ency. Sunday Service Legality. OAKLAND, March 29.—Judge Hall granted H. K. James, the attorney in the case of Wilhelm vs. Vredenburgh, a writ of alternative mandamus late this even- ing, directed against Justice Fred C. Clift. This is an attempt to compel him to rec- ognize the validity of the service of legal papers upon Sunday. Brakeman’s Damage Suit. OAKLAND, March 20.—The damage suit of Claud F. Smith, a Southern Pacific brakeman, against the Sunset Telephone and Telegraph Company was begun in Judge Ogden's court this morning. - Smith alleges that while in the exercise of his duties he was struck in the face by a tel- | ephone line that had been stretched across the railroad track and knocked down upon the top of a moving freight train. Besides the Injury, he lost seven- teen days’ time. 1 was required to tell | ued to-night for Harry | who forced an entrance | left no | | mitted in San Francisco, has sent to | The Call the following interesting com- | munication on the causes of the trou- | bles at State prisons: | One of the members of the Board of | State Prison Directors has been ap- | pointed a committee of one to travel | thousands of miles and expend many | hundred dollars to visit and investi- gate the workings of other penal insti- tutions. They could have found more | than enough to occupy their attention | at home had they performed thelr | duty as required by their oath of of- fice. Are the directors ignorant of cer- tain things that take place within the prison walls? I think not. However that may be, I know those institutions | are conducted in such a loose manner | as wardens of Eastern prisons would | constder shameful. Professional crim- | inals find conditions_there that suit | them very much. Young criminals, boys from the country towns of tender | vears who have committed their first | Ooffense, are sent to herd with the most vicious, and no attempt is made to separate those who have committed | their first offense and the most hard- | ened Jorsaom | of San Quentin do not use opium. Yet | a few months after they enter they are in all probability confirmed opium | fiends, especially the young, who are | easy victims to the seductive drug. It is not long after that the drug works | upon their worst passions. It is then | that the most degraded of men find their opportunity, and the poor young | victim falls so low in the scale of hu- | manity as to be shunned by all who of the men who enter the walls have the slightest respect for them- selves. |~ The officers try, or pretend to try, to | prevent opium from entering the pris- on walls. But without av ? Why ? Because as long as the prison is run on a political basis it will be almost impossible to prevent the entry of opium. Just look at the inducement offered those who smuggle the drug inside. Opium within the walls is al- ways worth ten times what it is worth outside, and at times when what is | called a “famine” prevails, it brings | as high as $150 to $175 per pound, and number two (2), or second quality, at that. Many of the guards are sent to the Warden with a political recommenda- tlon to which the Warden is forced to pay consideration. His qualifications for the positon are not even consid- ered; he is received and appointed to pay a political debt. Now, it is through such men that opium Is intro- duced into the prison. I have known opium to come in by the bucketful, supposed to be eggs. This was during the time that John McComb was Warden, and it was & relative that brought it in. It was under this administration that crime ran rampant, murders were of frequent occurrence, and seldom was there a conviction for such acts. The prison is nothing more than a large manufactory, the amount of goods turned out’ being considered | above everything else. | On one occasion the officers of the | prison had to appeal to the Governor | to pardon a youthful criminal from Oregon for the reason that he was de- moralizing those within the walls. He was pardoned. The convict best able | to supply the wants of others, such as | opium, good bed furniture and a bet- | ter grade of food will be the one to run things and to create jealousies. | The result is deadly combat and until such htings are done away with there will always be trouble,and it is against reason to suppose that men can be re- formed and come out and be good members of soclety as long as such a state of affairs exists. It is simply offering the prisoner inducements to become more evil instead of good. Fa- voritism exists to some extent. Those convicts with money and influence stand a much better chance of secur- ing release than those without money and friendless. It used to be a com- mon thing for convicts with money to purchase immunity from hard labor and obtain good food by paying to be put on the sick list. There is not enough attention paid to prison disci- pline and too much attention paid to the jute mill. If they can force the convicts to turn out bags enough to keep within the yvearly appropriation everything else is of minor impor- tance. Until they pay more attention to the physical and moral welfare of the inmates they will always have re- | peaters. A new prison or a remodel- | ing of the old so that men can be kept separate is in order. Untll this is done it is useless to speak about reforma- tion. | Sunday Services at CountyIn_firmary. OAKLAND, March 20.—Rev. F. Smith, an indigent admitted to the County In- firmary from Supervisor Church’'s dis- trict, has begun Sunday services at that | institution. He 18 an old Methodist | minister, and delivered a sermon on the | “Power of the Tongue” which he once de- livered In Spurgeon’s church in London. He will continue the services in the din- | ing-room while he stays there. | The Altenheim’s Portion. OAKLAND, March 29.—Mrs. Johanne Hiegel, who died November 21, 189, left a will_bequeathing her property to societies as follows: The Infant Shelter of San Francisco, the German General Benevo- lent Soclety of San Francisco and the ADVERTISEMENTS.

The estate consists of $1915, out of the $2543 64 that came into the administrator's hands. Af- ter paying the other bequests there re- mained $807 50 for each institution. But | the law forbids that more than one-third of an estate shall be left to charitable in- stitutions. One-third of this estate fis | $638 33. Hence a petition has been filed to ascertain judicially whether the Alten- heim is a charitable organization. Police and Fire Changes. OAKLAND, March 29.—TIt is probable | that there wiil be some changes made to- morrow by the Board of Public Works in the heads of the Police and Fire de- artments. The Mayor and City Engineer Clement are sald to have entered into an agreement to promote Captain Fletcher to the head of the Police Department and to Put Nick Ball in the Fire Department. The Mayor said to-day that there might be changes to-morrow, but he would not say so positively. Af the present time both the Mayor and City Engineer have grievances against City Attorney Dow, and this helps to give color to the truth of the rumored changes. Supervisor Roeth Testifies. OAKLAND, March 2. — Bupervisor Roeth was on the witness stand to-day in his own behalf during the trial before Judge Ellsworth In the Superior Court. Ho claimed that he paid idividually for the cutting of all of the trees he Kept. These were given him by E. A. Heron, the agent for the property adjoining the street from which they were cut. A ques- tion was raised regarding the ownership of certain other trees, he said; and he re- fused to take them. The trial will be con- | tinued to-morrow morning at 10 o'clock. Fabiola Hospital Derby Day. OAKLAND, March 29.—The closing day at the Emeryville track this spring is to be Fabiola Hospital Derby Day. Presi- dent Thomas Willlams has so notified the ladies and arrangements are being made accordingly. The decorations are all to be ribbons and it is expected that the at- | tendance will be even greater than a year ago. The entire proceeds of the day will g0 to the Hospital Association. Muchmore Returns Home. OAKLAND, March 29. —August Much- more, who left a short time ago to estab- lish a weekly newspaper at Skaguay, has returned without going further than Se- | attle. His partner investigated the field | | and advised a delay. Muchmore {s con- sidering a proposition to establish another aper at Seattle. | Ex-Governor Haight’s Widow Dead. | _OAKLAND, March 2.—Mrs. H. H, Haight, widow of ex-Governor Haight of California, died at the family residence, | 1201 Alice’ street, to-night. Mrs. Halght | has been sick for some time and her death was not wholly unexpected. —— | NEED WATER FOR SPRINKLING. | The Prospective Dgl-xth Threatens | Great Damage to Berkeley | Streets. BERKELEY, March 29.—Superintendent | of Streets Guy H. Chick has requested the Town Trustees to take immediate steps to secure water lor sprinkling the streets of Berkeley, which he fears will be cut to pleces during the coming summer if the town Is going to rely upon the scant supply of water which the Water Company is almost certain to have for the purpose. He suggests that water be obtained from wells, one near the Town Hall, another in North Berkeley, another near College avenue and Chan- ning way and another near Berkeley sta- tion, by means of a portable pump. | The Oakland Paving Company has also | submitted a proposition to supply the | town with water for sprinkling purposes, It offers to lease to the town for a period not to exceed five years the well on its Dwight way property at a rental of $8 per month, if the flow is less than 20,000 gallons per day, or $10 per month if the ‘flow exceeds 20,000 gallons a day. The matter has been referred to Trustees | Maslin and Le Conte of tfie Street Com- | mittee, who will report at the next regu- | lar meeting of the board. | — e | BERKELEY MAY HAVE COURTS. Then Saloon-Keepers Who Refuse to | Pay Licenses Will Be Disciplined. | BERKELEY, March 2.—President J. | W. Richards of the Board of Town | Trustees declares that a number of West Berkeley saloon-keepers are taking ad- | vantage of the fact that there are mo courts in Berkeley and refuse to pay thelr | licenses. He proposes that they be pun- isned by being refused licenses when the | local courts are re-established. There is a prospect that the town may win its appeal from the recent decision of the Superior Court declaring the Berkeley Justices' courts illegal. In the decision of the Supreme Court just handed down in reference to the validity of the Police Court of Sacramento, while the courts were declared illegal, three of the Jus- tices—McFarland, Van Fleet and routte—gave the dissenting opinion that | the Legislature has the right to create | special courts. ‘ihis Is one of the prin- | cipal points at issue In the Berkejey case, | and if Justice Beatty, who was not repre- sented in the Sacramento case, concurs in the view taken by the dissenting Jus- tices, thers will be a majority of the court holding for the validity of the Berkeley courts. Anti-Spanish Demonstration. BERKELEY, March 2).—Several sug- gestions for a substitute for rushing have | been made to the Sophomores since the | positive announcement by the faculty | that interclass rushes will no longer be | tolerated. Professor Joseplr Le Conte has suggested that the two lower classes se- | lect rushing teams and that the members | of the team train for the rush as they | would for any athletic event. The very | latest scheme, however, is the proposition | of V. H. Henderson, a prominent member | of the class of 1900, that the sophomores get up an ‘“Anti-Spanish” celebration, | such as has been given at the University of Michigan and other Eastern colleges. Berkeley News Notes. BERKELEY, March 29.—Lieutenant R. H. Noble, an ald on General Shafter's staff and a graduate of St. John's College of Law, lectured before the seniors at the university this afternoon on ‘Milltary and Martial Law.” President Martin _Kello, Professor Bernard Moses, Professor T.

ALAMEDA, March 29.—The funeral of Augustus Laver, the well-known archi- tect, took place at Masonic Temple at 10 o'clock this morning. The services were conducted by the master of Pacific Lodge of San Francisco, of which Mr. Laver was a member. The funeral was largely attended, and the remains were escorted to their last resting place in Mountain View Cemetery by a large concourse. At 2 p. m. the funeral of Franklin L. Perkins took place at Masonic_Tempie. The ceremonies were conducted by the master of Oak Grove Lodge, assisted by Chaplain Scott. The pall-bearers were: John Nobmann, C. C. A. Peterson, W. R. Poyzer, F. E. Jenkins, Ralph Kramer and R. Potts. The lodge escorted the remains to Mountain View Cemetery for inter- ment. Alameda News Notes. ALAMEDA, March 29.—City Trustee Fletter has returned from a trip to East- ern cities, including New York, Philadel- phia, Chicago, Bridgeport and other laces. He reports times as very good, actories running full blast and consider- able interest in legitimate mining invest- ments. Wherever he went among the manufacturing centers he found every- thing booming. Mrs. Kate Adams died last night at 2226 Buena Vista avenue of cancer.

Followers of the Favorites and Tod Sloan Passed a Restless Day. Song and Dance Waltzed In at Odds of 20 to 1 in the Third Race. After rolling up a string of eight suo- cessive victories, it has at last dawned on the racing public in general tuat Gey- ser, the bay coit by Ben Ali-Hot Springs, racing in the colors of Ed Corrigan, is a pretty fair sort o1 a horse. But it was not until he met Fleur de Lis in tne seven-furlong run at Ingleside vesterday that he showed what he really is capable of doing. The mare was an 11 to 10 favor- ite in the betting, but there/was no part of the route that Geyser did not hold her safe, and when Tod Sloan finally gave the latter his head he won with comparative ease in 1:26%, making a new record. The favorite finished two lengths before Paul Griggs for the place. Bight to flve was the general price about the winner around post time. It was not a healthy day for first choices, the two-year-old Leo Vertner being the only one blessed with a pair of brackets. The followers of Tod Sloan were also a bit shaken up and dusty at the conclusion of the sport, for Tod reached the wire nrst on but one occasion, though in all of his races he was knocking at the door. Thorpe, astride Humidity, the 6 to 5 fa- | vorite for the opening two-year-old | scramble at four furlongs, was unfor- tunate in getting cut off soon after the barrier was released. and finished in the show. Toluca, ridden by Lonnie Clayton, | ied .aroughout, beating Winifred in a | drive. | Leo Vertner was a pronounced favorite | for the “kindergarten” four and a half | furlong spin, and downed his fleld very | handily. Gold Scratch took place honors | from Zaccatoso. | Crotchety Song and Dance furnished a | mild sensation in the mile and a quarter | selling run, for which Satyr ruled a 3 to | 10 chance. At odds of 15 and 20 to 1 he | drew clear of his field when six furlongs | had been covered, and won in runaway | fashion, covering the distance in 2:081. | In a drive, Sloan, on the favorite, secured | the place from Tulare. 2 i Rosormonde looked a good bet to take | the mile run, fifth on the card, but when | galloping out in front Holmes let the | mare run wide with him when turning | into the stretch, and was passed by poth Soscol and major Hooker. The former, | second choice in the betting, won handily | by a quarter of a dozen lengths. With the more _dangerous _ ones | scratched, Corrigan’s filly, Daisy F' was | sent to the post favorite for the final | seven-furlong run. Free Lady, at5 to 1, | made all the running, and, with consider- able in reserve at the end, led the choice past the juuges oy two lengths. TRACK ITEMS. The presence of Satyr in the mile and a quar- ter event spoiled a very good betting race, and it looked like bad form on the part of his owner to start him, especially so when the fact is taken into consideration that he took a purse on the preceding day. The colt was | entered to be sold for $400, and was claimed by Wally Weaver, owner and rider of Tulare. He stands his new owner $700, which looks a | very falr bargain. The Corrigan entries played in hard luck yesterday. Out of five starts, horses carrying | the green with white sash were four times | placed second. It looks very much now as though Std Reagan, who claimed Hohenzollern and Her- moso on Monday, bit off more than he could swallow. Upon investication the judges find that only last week Reagan was hustling around in an endeavor tc borrow a few dollars. The ex-jockey's horses are stabled at Ingleside, while stalls were alread: prepared at the Oak- | land track for the horses claimed. It s the supposition that Reagan was simply acting as | agent for W. H. Timmons, and more than likely both horses will be returned to their original owners. Benamela seems to have gone to the bad en- lked, and yvesterday he pulled up very lame out of the third race. Free Lady was undoubtedly short In her race | run previous to yesterday. On Thursday last she was very prominent to the stretch in a six-furlong sprint and then “biew up.” Sloan’s ride on Satyr was one of the poorest he has thus far furnished. He got the colt badly messed about and made his run alto- gether too late Recent indications point to the early rein- statement by the Jockey Club of the well | | smooth bunch grass, | have been arranged for. known plunger, Riley Grannan.

The University Issues a Bulletin Giving uwesults of Important Experiments. BERKELEY, March 20.—The agricul- tural department of the university has just issued in pamphlet form a bulletin detalling the results of important inves- tigations recently made by J. Burtt Davy of the department of botany, on the na- tive vegetation of alkali lands. The in- vestigations showed that there are many varieties of plants which flourish exclu- sively alkali land and other varleties which can be raised on alkall lands, al- ;(h?‘ugh not tolerant of the strongest al- ali. Mr. Davy found as a result of his inves- tigations that the following plants are suitable for cultivation on alkali soils: ON STRONG ALKALL Salt bushes, all being fodder plants; modiola, fodder; wild millet, fodder; kolreuteria panicu- lata, shrub; sac-saoul, dwarf timber, valued for fuel; salsola soda and salsola indica, for- merly burned for barilla, used in the manu- facture of glass and soap; kochia, fodder. APPARENTLY NOT TOLERANT OF THE STRONGEST ALKALL Vegetables—Sunflower, used for chicken food, ofl, paper and fuel; Jerusalem artichoke, valu- able tuber for hogs (the white variety seems best adapted for alkali soils); beet root, also for sugar; spinach, onion, celery, asparagus. Fruits—Elaeagnus angustifolius, a tree with small and agreeable frult; Peruvian ground- cherry, herb, with an edible fruit. Fodder Plants—(A.) Grasses—Slender grass, Johnson grass, quitch, tall smooth panic grass, obtuse meadow grass, wild rye, alkall saccatone, florin, Bermuda grass, jointed barely grass. (B.) Shrubs for Browsing—Tea tree, an Australian shrub; myall, shrubby acacias, e Teachers’ Club Lectures.

Griggs of Stanford and will be entitled “A Walk in Florence.” The second will be delivered on Friday, April 15, and the speaker will be Postal Inspector Erwin, whose topic will be “In the Nation's Capital.” On Friday, April 22d, Professor Bernard Moses of the Berkeley University will speak on “Spain and Her Colonfes ARRESTED ON SUSPICION. One of the Men_Who Is Supposed to Have Robbed Spider Kelly’s Safe in the Tanks. Harry Hutti, a tout, is locked up in “the tanks” at the City Prison on sus- picion of having aided in the robbery of “Spider” Kelly's safe early Monday morn- ing of $450. The other man wanted is Herbert Dehoney, and the police believe he has fled from the city. Kelly is proprietor of the saloon on the northwest corner of Eddy and Mason streets. The safe is in the office of the saloon, and although the exact time of | the robbery is not known, it is supposed to have occurred in the early part of yes- terday morning. The keys on the inside doors of the safe were returned to Kelly by Huttl, who said that Kelly while under the Influence of liquor gave them to him. Dehoney is an upholsterer, and was en- gaged in Tepairing some mattresses in the house in which the saloon is located at the time of the robbery. Huttl denies all knowledge of it. “THE CALL’S” P RACING CHART. ACIFIC COAST JOCKEY CLUB—Ingleside Track—127th day of the Winter Meeting, Tuesday, March 29. 1898.

A Few Large Deals Break the Monotony to Some Ex- tent. Six-Story Structures on Third and Stevenson Streets—The Records, Sales and Notes. Affairs In the real estate line are nearly at a standstill. Only now and then Is the Sleepy Hollow effect de- stroyed by a transaction of any partic- ular importance. Buyers for some un- explained reason seem to hang back. The building record for the week was poorer than the week preceding. Sev- eral large deals are being engineered by a few brokers, but they experience considerable trouble in their consum- mation. TOLD BY THE RECORDS. The number of mortgages and deeds of trust recorded during the week was smaller than usual. The only mortgage in & sum worthy of mention was a loan of $35,000 for one year at 7 per cent, made by the German Bank to Ellen and George S. Fife on property in 50-vara block 93, on northwest corner of Pine and Kearny streets, north 72:6 by west 45:5. One trust deed in the sum of $2,000,000 was executed by the California Northwestern Raillway Company in favor o. Ignatz Steinhart in 2000 bonds of $1000 each, bearing interest at the rate of 5 per ceat per annum, on the railroad, rights of way, depot grounds, rolling stock, etc., of the rail- road company. The releases and recon- veyances were all for small sums. Homesteads were declared as follow: By Charles M. Stoltz, upon the southwest corner of Eighth avenue and California street, $4000; Emilie Luttringer, upon the north’ line of Eighteenth street, 202:10% east of Guerrero, $2150; Gracie T. Dietz (wife of John Dietz Jr.), upon the south line of Twenty-second street, 255 west of Sanchez, $3000. M. Thomas has abandoned his homestead on the property on the north line of McAllister street, §1:6 west of Parker avenue. SOME RECENT SALES.
