Nothing to Prevent Open Pool-Sell- ing Now in All the Cigar “Stores. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 98 Broadway, April 15. When the Supreme Court declared that the Stratton primary law was unconsti- | tutional because the title and the body | of the act did not agree they made it pos- sible for poolrooms to be at once opened | in Oakland and run without fear of mo- | lestation by the police. [ This morning Judge Allen declared the | famous anti-poolroom ordinance, which was passed after the bitterest agitation ever seen In this city, In 1892, to be in- valid on the ground that the title of the measure did not correspond with its va- rious sections. As a result of this decis- fon the raid on the pool-sellers made | several weeks ago is without effect, and | D. P. Clark, A. D. Dennis, W. Wolfsohn | and C. McHale were discharged in the | Police Court and the charges against | them were dismissed. | There is now no bar to the opening of | poolrooms In this city and conducting | them *‘wide open,” unless the City Coun- | cil should amend the ordinance and make | its head and tail agree. This is more | than is expected from the *solld six,” | and undoubtedly there will be a great | anti-poolroom campaign inaugurated at | once. Attorney T. M. Bradley, who repre-| sented the pool-selle: in the Police Court, moved for a dismissal on the ground that the title of the ordinance under which the arrests were made did not mention specifically that the receiv- ing of money (o bet On races was pro- hivited, while in the body of the article | such prohibition is ordained. He says his client only received money to bet on races for other parties. A. A. Moore Jr., representing the Dis- trict Attorney's office, while “admitting | that Mr. Bradley's point might be well | taken, asked for a continuance of a few days to look the matter up. Attorney Bradley insisted on an immediate * de- | cision, and Judge Allen declared the or- d)nlance vold and discharged the defend- | ant. The title of the ordinance reads: ‘“An ordinance prohibiting in certain places within the city of Oakland the selling of pools or making of bets or wagers on contest between men or between horses, wherein money or other articles of value are staked or played.” In the ordinance {s the following sec- tion, upon which the pool-sellers base their argument: No person upon any trial or contest of skill, speed or power of endurance, between men, oF between horses, shall, within the limits of the | city of Oakland, sell, issue or dispose of any | ticket, certificaté or other evidence of payment, | on which shall be Inscribed, written, marked | or printed any number, name, word, mark or device to designate the choice selected, received or accepted by any other person to entitle or enable the said person holding the ticket, cex- Uficate or other evidence of payment to gath or lose on any contingent issue; or receive any article of value or any money or anything rep- resenting money, or any articule of value, as a bet, wager or ‘hazard upon the event of any contest or contingent stake, or as a stake or pledge between (wo or more parties or to dis- urse the sald money or any portion thereof or anything representing money or other article of value upon any representations or condition, | or in any conformity o or with any express o tacit understanding or agreement, ‘When ex-Chief Lloyd made his raid on the pool-seliers he stated that pool-sell- ing was being conducted on such a vi- cious plan and in so many places that children not over 14 ycars of age of both sexeés were being taught to gamble and were putting up even us iow as a dime on the chances of horses. There is no doubt ‘that the moral side of the question will receive immediate attention, and there ‘are many who think that Judge Allen rendered his decision on a point smaller than will be recognized should the case be appealed to a higher court.

A New Lease of Life for the Young Men's Republican League. OAKXLAND, April 15.—The Young Men's Republican League took on a new lease in its career to-night, and it is now be- lieved that harmony is assured and that | within a few weeks the league will have 1000 enrolled members. President Breed opened the proceedings with a very strong statement of the position of the club with regard to the two candidates for Gover- nor in this city. “After all that has been sald by unauthorized parties,” 'said the president, “'I feel that a statement is ab- solutely necessary at this time to place the club in a truthful position before the party in Alameda County. brand as false and unauthorized any statement that declares this league has indorsed or is working in the interest of any candi- date for any office. This falsehood has been freely circulated, and although we have received Tair treatment from the press, the rumor has not yet been suffi- clently exploded. After the convention we will get behind ail the Republican candidates and work with all our might, but not until then. Now, it is our pur- pose to build up a strong party organi- zation, loyal to Republicanism, but hot to individuals striving for nominations.” This declaration was loualy cheered, and some very kind things were said about those who belonged to the league two years ago but who have not yet joined the ranks. Everything that was said in the discussion that followed looked to har- mony, and anything that might be con- strued as inimical to those who are sup- posed to be in the Pulcifer camp was carefully avolded. Charles Hall spoke of the struggle letween the candidates for Governor, and sald that the County Com- mittee should take the matter in hand and should end the fight. Mr. Knowles said that if Alameda did not soon end her quarrel she would find that Mr. Flint of San Benito had cap- tured the prize. James Oliver of Berke- ley introduced a resolution commending the course of President McKinley, and it was carried unanimously and enthusi- astically. Many other speeches were made, and a desire for harmony was the expression of all. a At the close of the meeting it Was found that nearly 400 had signed wie roll. Coffee and sandwiches were generously pro- vided, and the affair marked a new era of good feeling in the life of the club. It is now believed that Harry Pulcifer and his followers will accept the offer of the league to have representation on_the ex- ecutive committee and that all wifl enroll. The declaration of non-partisanism by President Breed has paved the way for speedy union. Pioneer’s Sudden Death. OAKLAND, April 15.—The su death of Willlam P.

Taylor of Berkeley has led a sult against her husband for $1200, due her for maintenance, according to the terms of an agreement entered into by the par- ties January 5, 189 The parties are living apart and have for some time, but the husband has paid $75 per month for the support of his wife and two chil- dren. Mr. and Mrs. Taylor were married In Garfleld, Colo., October 9, 1889, and have two _ children—Ethel A., aged 14, and Frederick E., aged 10 years.

Denies the Allegation That He Was Caught Kissing the Lady. Alvarado’s Divorce Case May Be the Cause of a Lively Trial. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, April 15. When the divorce case of the Rojases comes up in Judge Hall's courtroom there will probably be a lively trial. Philip H. Aston, whose name appears in the com- plaint, says that only one side of the story has yet been told. The case has excited much interest in Alvarado, where the parties live, and has been a fruitful theme for gossip for several months, both parties to the controversy apparently having many friends. “I have been brought into this case on false representations,” sald Mr. Aston. | “The facts are as follows: Rojas deserted | his wife on September 3 of last year, after | he beat and abused uer most shamefully. Mrs. Rojas was at that time in destitute circumstances, and, in fact, had not the necessaries of life, On the day mentioned Mrs. Rojas had him arrested for battery, to which charge he pleaded gullty and paid his fine. 'he poor lady came to me in her great trouble for assistance, and askeu me to give her my washing to help her to sustain life for her three children. I gave her work, and never visited her till December 13, when I went | to her house about half-past 8 in the | evening to pay her. We were sitting in the kitchen and talking together, when Mr. Rojas rushed in and accused me of kissing his wife, and abused her shame- fully. After considerable talking I left for my home. I again yisited Mrs. Rojas on December 17 to get a vest which I had sent her that day for repairs. Rojas again entered the house and raised a dis- turbance, but there was no_ fighting or thrashing at these times. One night in February he waylaid me In the dark and hit me unawares on the head, in a public street, for which I had him arrested. Mrs, Rojas'is highly respected by all the good | people of this town, and they are now helping her by giving her work; but I cannot say the same for Mr. Rojas. When the case comes up before Judge Hall on April 25 tne rest of this story will be made public.” WILL EXTEND TS OPERATIONS Brotherhood of Andrew and Philip to Hold State Conventions.

One of the family had bid $X but this was run up to $2425 by an out- sider. The court found the bidder had no coin up, so refused to make the or- der until $500 was produced, and continued the case until evening, then until Tues- came into_court. The bidder, however, who resides near the guardian, at Haywards, paid the full price Monday_ afternoon, and was given possession. When the case was called to-day a new bid of $2500 was offered. The guardian’s attorne, objected and made the explanation given here, but the court refused to allow it, and confirmed the new bid.

F. uu.sofl.ux 1057, San Fragcisco, | There was a clergyman in a Long Island village who suf- fered from dyspepsia to such an extent that it positively seemed was not sound. It was, however, only a stomach trouble, and had nothing to do with the mind. Being convinced of this, one of his parishioners, a lady, presented him with a small quantity of Ripans Tabules and the relief he ex- perienced was such that all the congregation noticed an improve- ment, and now, although his salary is small, this clergyman and his wife devote a portion of it stocked with a suitable supply to keeping the medicine closet of Ripans Tabules. Doubtless there are many cases where what has been thought heresy was in fact nothing more nor less than dyspepsia, and Ripans Tabules cure dyspepsia. One gives relief.
