Dunn of the National Guard and health officer of the City of Oakland, and Dr. E. H. Woolsey, who, as a professional man and as a poli- tician, is one of the best known on this side of the bay, think they are having a great quarrel. Nobody else thinks s0. It is true that the cause of dif- ference between them is sufficlent to carry the quasi-quarrel into the law courts, but their mutual friendship and their mutual interests will no doubt prevent such a calamity.

BERKELEY, April 12—The Blue and Gold, published by the junior class, will make its appearance on Friday, and meanwhile the *‘joshable” subjects at college—faculty as well as students—are uneasily expectant. Editor Charles E. Fryer has been busy for months past on the college annual, and promises a num- ber of surprises for the collegians. In anticipation of the possible effect of the joshing, both the editor and the manager, Phil Franklin, are collecting a small | bodyguard about them, acording to re- poris of their friends.

Re- cently it was made known that on the whole the renting of the two floors had left a deficit of $1500, and Dr. Woolsey, holding the lease, had to make it good. He has now notified Dr. Dunn that this shortage is chargeable to him, and as Dr. Dunn has not ye' given Dr. Wool- seyhis check for that amount, a declar- ation of war was made instantly. The two doctors rughed to their attorneys, and are now so overburdened with legal advice that they have been forced to stop differing and to do some thinking. Each is making a campaign in all di- rections, and it is funny to see the ap- parent sincerity which is being put into their professed animosity. Drs. Dunn and Woolsey have been friends for years, it is believed they still are friends, and no one but them- selves seems to have any idea that the little matter of a difference of opinion over a lease will sever their friendship.

Balaam, Who Were Secretly Wedded Four Months Ago. BERKELEY, April 12.—It takes a Berkeley girl to keep a secret; at least that’s what the excited young people of the college town have come to think since the announcement to-day that Miss Gwynedd Carnall, a de- mure little middler at the Berkeley High School.h. - for the last four months been not Miss Carnall; but Mrs. C. F. Balaam, the wife of a sophomore in the College of Mechanics at the State University. The young folks were se- cretly married just after the close of the Christmas vacation, and none of their most intimate friends knew of their romance until they themselves decided to announce it. To say that the announcement has surprised their friends would be putting it mildly. The young bride is a daughter of the late Nathan C. Carnall and resides at 2159 Vine street, North Berkeley. She is a charming, petite blonde with a seriousness beyond her years. She is a member of the class of 99 at the Berkeley High School, where the story of her romantic marriage has caused a buzz of excitement among teachers, as well as pupils. Charles Frederick Balaam, the student-husband, is 21 years of age and is just completing his second year at the university. He comes from the southern part of the State, having graduated from the Visalla High School in 1896. He is well known at the unlversity and has always taken a prom- inent part {n the activities of the class of 1900, of which he 1s a member. It was only last September that the young people met. A strong mu- tual attachment sprang up between them, and in less than four months they | decided to become man and wife, but to let nobody know of their marriage | until the close of the present college semester, when it would be neces- sary for the young man to discontinue his college course. Accordingly, as soon as Mr. Balaam returned from Visalia after the holiday vacation the young people took a trip, “somewhere in California” as Mrs. Balaam smil- | ingly said, and “somewhere in the early part of this year” the twain wers e| made one.

As stated in The Call this morning Lady Yarge Buller was not insane, but had not fully recovered from the effects of a late dinner last Sunday evening. This morning she was examined by Drs.

Lynn, who shot his wife five times on February 1, was abruptly stopped this afternoon by the prisoner’s demonstrations. It required four officers to handcuff him, but the court was unable to bridle his tongue, which he used freely. The case will go on on Saturday. Mean- while, Lynn's attorney announced he would swear to a compiaint charging his client with {nsanity.

CASTORIA For Infants and Children, I:i‘m?l:- fsen .;“M. LT v GRAND JURY HAS STRUCK AHOT TRAIL Books and Contracts of the Times Are in Evidence. They Are Said to Contain All Sorts of Inter- esting Stories. Gil B. Daniels Believes That He Is Possessed of Much Information. F. J. MOFFITT IS PLEASED. Says an Examination of the Books ‘Will Be a Good Thing for Him. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, April 12. The Grand Jury has struck a new trail. It is a bright shining trail full of good things, and it is asserted by some of its members that it will lead to many astounding revelations con- nected with the corruption by water companies during the past fifteen years. Gil B. Daniels is now the pro- prietor of the histeric old newspaper, the Oakland Times. Mr. Daniels is also a member of the present Grand | Jury. The Oakiand Times during the | past fifteen years is generally consid- ered as having been the medium be- tween the Contra Costa Water Com- pany and the Southern Pacific Com- pany and their political “friends” in this city, and it has generally been thought that if the books and contracts of the old newspaper could ever be made public they would tell some of the mysteries of the past that have been credited to certain Oakland poli- ticians and back rooms of Oakland sa- loons. A few nights ago in the course of conversation Mr. Daniels was discuss- |ing some incidents connected with the | past history of the Times, and he re- marked that the old Times’ safe, with its books and contracts covering some of the most interesting years in Oak- land polities, would tell many an in-| teresting story. It is a peculiar cir- | cumstance that the books and papers of an adversary should fall into the | hands of his political enemy. There were not two greater political enmi- ties existing in Oakland six years ago than those of ex-Senator Moffitt and Dr. | George C. Pardee. Frank Moffitt fig- ured as the leader of the old guard in local politics, George Pardee was the leader of the reform element. Moffitt fought with his own paper, the Times, Pardee fought with Frank Leach’s pa- | per, the Enquirer. When the ex-Sen- ator sold the Times to A. W. Bishop he went out of the newspaper busi- ness, and the paper finally passed into the hands of two banks and event- ually to Mr. Leach. A few months ago | when Mr. Leach retired from journai- ism, the Times went with the Enquirer in the deal which w s made in the interest of Dr. Pardee with Gil Daniels | | as the nominal head. Thus it comes | about that the books, contracts and | palpers covering many interesting years | of the Times’ existence passed out of the hands of Mr. Moffitt into the keep- | ing of Mr. Daniels and Dr. Pardee. With these documents as a lead, it is believed the Grand Jury will be able to | follow up many interesting clues, for | it was dutring the latter years of Mr. | Mofiitt’s proprietorship that the Times | ceased to support the Contra Costa Company and showed a marked friend- ship for Mr. Dingee’s enterprise. As | Mr. Daniels is an active member of the | Grand Jury, it is not to be supposed that he will hide any of the evidence in | his possession, but will make the greatest use of it in the present inves- tigation. Ex-Senator Moffitt wasasked to-night what sensational testimony could be extracted from the books of the Times, and he replied: “I have never given those old books and contracts a thought in connection with the Grand Jury; however, it will be a good thing | for those archives to be examined. | They will show that the Times was | conducted under the seven years of my management as a business propo- ‘snion, and I defy all the Grand Juries in christendom to find any evidence of crookedness, bribery or corruption from any water company, railroad company or other corporate influence. e ————————————————— ADVERTISEMENTS.

The books will show that before I took possession of the Times there was a scandalous contract existing between all the local papers to keep at an ex- tortionate figure the rates_for the city printing. The books will show that | during my seven years’ proprietorship this contract was smashed to pieces, and for a long timé the Times did the city printing at actual cost. They will also show that as soon as I quit news- paper work the unrighteous compact was renewed. Nothing would gratify me more than to have the Grand Jury g0 carefully over all the books and | contracts that have passed .into the hands of the Times' present owners. | We never had two sets of books and always had-a pubiic bookkeeper, and anything that was done was above board.” | Mr. Daniels’ remark implies that| there might be some papers, the exis- | tence of which Mr. Moffitt has forgot- | ten, but there is no doubt that the| thorough investigation being made by the Grand Jury into every channel for | evidences of corruption will include the | property of the Times in the possession | of the present owner. { The Grand Jury has not yet been called together, although nearly a week | has elapsed since its indefinite adjourn- | ment. The many scandals have been | so often brought before the public and | told in the Grand Jury room that al-| though they are generally believed| there seems to be considerable doubt| as to whether such evidence will justi- | fy any more indictments. It is argued that if the Grand Jury had any posi-| tive trail of criminality it would not| break off where it did, thus giving those who were under suspicion an opportu- Telephone South 420. nity to cover up their tracks during the adjournment.
