The Local Contest May Cut a Figure in the League Con- vention. Friends of Pardee and Davis See the Need of a Little Diplo- macy. ' Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 98 Broadway, May 3. The Young Men's Republican Club of | the Seventh Ward has lost its original by-laws and constitution. The losing f ‘s few pages of manusecript does not ap- ipear to be a very momentous affair, but An this particular instance it is of some | \interest. Two years ago, when the club was organized, by-laws were passed and | there are a few who think that under the original constitution the club is for-| bidden to indorse any candidate before | the convention. Recently the Seveath “>wWard Young Men's Republican Club in-| ~'dorsed Dr. Pardee as its candidate for the momination for Governor. This action| was sald to be unanimous, but some one bas raised the question that under the| by-laws the club cannot become & per- Bonal organization, but stands for Repub- dicantsm and Republican candidates only. ;. The point, however, cannot be settled, | Decause the by-laws are lost. It is sup- ed that Dick Ayer or Tum Suden was eeper of the records, but neither is able to produce them at this time. To-morrow night the executive commit- tee will meet in Attorney Dodge's office ne new by-laws which will un- be ratified by a large major- | of the club, if not unanimously, as Seventh Ward is admittedly a Par- onghold. interest is now ity the -t attached to the ®onvention the State League of Re- ublican Cl hich is to be held in end of this month, v was organized and he also the interest | of the Republican national candidates in the last general gn.

Action Taken by the City Lawmakers | on Various Items. OAKLAND, May 3.—President Heltman | xvill appoint Councilmen Earl, Pringle and Watkinson as a committee to examine and report to the Council on the supplie: ©f the two water companies. At last| pight's meeting they refused to alternate | the fire hydrants between the two com- panies. They refused to grant Dr. Dunn, | Health Officer, an additional $25 per month for horse hire, which caused President | Heitman to announce that he would in-| troduce a resolution at the next meeting | cutting off the $25 recently allowed Su- | perintendent of Streets Miiler. It was decided to walt upon Division Su- érintendent Agler of the Southern Pacific ompany and request the company to re- | move the Broadway ferry slip to the west- ward when rebuilding it, in order that the street may be left open. An anti-pool selling ordinance was in- | troduced and referred to the Ordinance end Judiciary Committes. The ordinance guthorizing the Board of Public Works | to advertise for bids for the printing of ithe delinquent tax list was finally passed. x;rhe protest against the removal of the | Market street gore building was set for @May 16 at 8:30 p.m. for hearing. On the opinfon of City on East Twelfth street was refused par- ¢lal payments. It desired pay for each ®Block as completed, but the contract states plainly that it is to be pald for| when cempleted. The City Clerk was instructed to ad- | wertise for bids for street lighting for the | coming vear. | Amended Complaint, No Summons. OAKLAND, May 3.—Edson F. Adams et executors of the estate of Hannah ams, deceased, to-day filed an amend- ed complaint in their case against the Sny of Oakland to recover taxes pald un- er protest. The original complaint was filed’ May 15, 1897, but no summons was ever issued. . The law allows a year's delay, hence the time is about up. No summons was requested on the filing of the amended complaint, and it may be that another will g0 uy before any fur- ther action is taken. The taxes involved @re on 150 acres of the Adams tract, be- tween the old charter line and the char- ter line before the recent annexation. The County Assessor assessed it at $228,150, while the Board of Equalization reduced 1t to $152,150. The 'City Assessor took the County -Assessor's figures before being equalized, and the City Treasurer com elled Mr. Adams to pay $1152 16 for each fnstullmenl of taxes. If the equalized figure had been taken the two sums would have been $769 30 each, a difference of $383 86 on each Installment, which he seeks to recover with interest.

Brewers Have Declared a Rise the Price of Malt Liquors. in Thirsty People Do Not Think of the Dry Summer With Great Pleasure. Oakland Office, San Franeisco Call, 908 Broadway, May 3. With the prospect of a diminished sup- ply of water and the fact that the Oak-| land brewers have raised the price of beer materfally the condition of Oak-| landers is one to cause much concern. ‘ When the City Council met last night | the resolution introduced by Mr. Pringle | regarding economy in the using of water was discussed. Its author stated that he did not introduce it at the request or in the interest of either of the water com- panfes, but because he thought it better | to warn the people in time than to have a water famine. | After some debate it was decided to ap- | point a committee to report on the avail- able supplies of both companies and Pres- | ident Heltman named Messrs. Earl, Prin- | gle and Watkinson to undertake the duty. | In past years the Alvarado supply has | been fitful, but its officers now declare | that there s no danger of a shortage. The sta people are more conserva- | tive and aec.are that there may be a lack | of water if people are as careless in the future as at present. 5 Whereas, in some cities the total con. sumption of water averages nineteen gal- lons per capita per day, in Oakland the | consumption reaches the enormous figure | of 150 gallons per day. It Is this great | waste that induced Mr. Pringle to call public attention to the necessity of ex-| ercising discretion. When the water rates were fixed for | the next fiscal year it was freely stated that it would be cheaper to drink beer instead of water, But this pleasing pros- pect has received a severe setback by the | sudden increase in the price of beer. The retall dealers have announced that there will be no increase in the price of a glass or schooner, but they say nothing about decreasing the size of the drink and this is what Is causing such grave congern. The raise in price is already in force with a prospect that drought, scarcity of | Wheat and barley and prevalence of war may send it still higher. S | MEET STELZNER | Lively Boxing Arranged by the Reliance Club for To-Night. Phil Green, the Acrobatic Fighter, Is to Meet Lewis for Eight Rounds. Oakland Office San Francisco Call. %8 Broadway, May 3. A very lively boxing programme is mapped out by the Reliance Club for to- merrow evening. The feature of the en-| tertainment will be a three-round spar- ring contest between Jeffries and Stelz- | ner. Although there is no prospect that this event will witness a knockout, a| promise has been given that the set-to | shall be sufficiently lively to make it in- teresting. This will be the last appear- | ance of Jeffries before his great fight with | Sharkey and there will be a large contin- | gent from San Francisco to size up their | man. | Jeffries has done most of his training | | at the Reilance Club, and his appearance | to-morrow night is for the purpose of add. ing to the interest in the wheelmen’s | benefit. | There will be three preliminaries, after which Kid McFadden of the Manhattan Athletic Club and Willlam Murmane of the San Francisco Athletic Club will con- test for elght rounds, sach to welgh 115 pounds. Phi! Green, the local whirlwind, who surprised the sports a month ago by his peculiar methods, will meet Biily Lewis of Vallejo for eight rounds. On his last ap- pearance Green showed that he was as much of an acrobat as a boxer, and con- siderable of both, and the match is creat- ing much interest because there has been | a general desire to see him again in the ring. Both men will weigh in at 130 pounds. The new plan of appoinfing two judges as well as the referee will be carried out at these contests. Lon Agnew, the local boxer, and Mike McCormick have been matched to box ten rounds before the Oakland Athletic Club on the 12th of this month. This is the first time for several years that a contest has been arranged for ten rounds, eight hay- ing been the 1imit granted the club. It| has been generally conceded that all the | dissatisfaction arising from past contests could have been avoided had the contest- | ants been permitted to stay in the ring ten rounds, as elght Is rather too little ta try out two good men sufficiently to give a popular and just decision. | Lieutenant Bird’s Narrow Escape. OAKLAND, May 3.—Lieutenant Manly | D. Bird of the Bo: rigade was nearly | killed last night by being run into by a team driven by a man named Frank.

An Organization Effected in Alameda Last Evening—Money to Be | Raised. ALAMEDA, May 3—A Red Cross League was formed In this city last even- ing at the home of Mrs. George Mastick, 918 Pacific avenue.

Only the Grace of God Can Work Needed Reform in the Late Christian Pastor. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, | 98 Broadway, May 3. Rev. Edwards Davis {s not without friends. Although much has been sald and published about the ex-pastor of the Central Christian Church, there is one man who does not intend that more shall be said about him than he deserves. James W. Wishart declares that some of the reports given out last Sunday by In- terested parties regarding the incidents of the meeting at the elder's house and also at the church are highly colored in | some respects. Mr. Wishart wishes it dis- | tinctly understood that, whatever faults Rev. Mr. Davis may possess, he has no differences with the church regarding finances. . To-day Elder Wishart made public the following statement: “I wish to correct a very serlous charge which_has appeared in print regardin; Rev. Edwards Davis, former pastor of | the Central Christian Church of Oakland. | The statement I refer to is as follow: “‘On Friday evening last a meeting of the officers of the church was held at the home of Elder James M. Wishart, who has been one of Davis' stanchest friénds. The elders and deacons found there had been a large amount of money pald into the church during the time Davis was pastor, for which no account was Iven.l The total amounted to quite a sum. “In the first place, the financial part | of the church was not named at the above | meeting, nor were any money matters discussed {n connection with Mr. Davis. Second, as an elder of the church I do! not know of any money having been paid | to Rev. Mr. Davis for church purposes but | what was accounted for. hird, a full | report of the flnances of the church was | made at or near the close of Rev. Mr. | Dayls’ pastorate, which was passed upon | and approved by the church. Fourth, the books that were kept by Rev. Mr. Davis' | secretaries for the past three years can | be seen at any time and examined if need | ‘I make this statement in order to give | the public to understand that the party | which so unkindly accused Rev. Mr. Davis of the misappropriation of funds under | my name had no business to do so. “However, I am free to admit that Rev. | Edwards Davis, as a_young man, has his faults, which I pray he will, by the grace of God, be able to overcome, in order that his power as a preacher, which is hard to | equal, may be turned to the honor &nd‘ glory 'of our Lord. | “JAMES M.

Janitor Work by Contract. BERKELEY, May 3.—The grounds and building committes of the Board of Re- gents of the university is consiaering the advisability of having the janitor work in the college buildings done by contract instead of by individual salaried janitors.

FREIGHT RTES MAY BE LOWERED The Southern Pacific Company Has Made Some New Promises. It Asks the Help of the Manufac- and Producers’ Asso- ciation. turers’ There were several matters of no small Interest discussed yesterday at the meet- ing of the directors of the Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Association, over which the new president, A. Sbarboro, presided. | 1 The first was a report by E. Everett of | the traffic committee upon the inequali- ties in the matter of rates between east and westbound frelghts. Several weeks that hundreds of articles of merchandise can be sent from the East to this coast much cheaper than the similar articles can be sent from this coast to the East. Mr. Everett stated that Mr. Stubbs of the Southern Pacific Company was much an- noyed at the publication of the letter, but | nevertheless the officials of the railroad | showed a manifest disposition to deal fairly with the Western manufacturers. | Mr. Everett was sure of this, because | Mr. Stubbs had promised to do all in his | power to have his company equalize the | rates, the corporation having already committed itself in this diréction. That railroad official stated that his company association at the meeting of the trans- continental convention of rallroad men, which takes place in Milwaukee within the next week or two. Mr. Stubbs told | Mr. Everett that the Southern Pacific Company has not all of the say in the matter of changing the rates so as to| conform to_the wishes of the Western | shippers and manufacturers, the Eastern | roads, no_doubt, being determined to| favor the Eastern peopls as much as pos- sible. Looking at the situation, Mr. Stubbs sald he expects to have a fight on his hands when he stands up in the in- terests of the Western people at the com- ing convention. The same official told Mr. Everett that he would like to have a commitiee from the association attend the convention g0 as to show the representatives of the Eastern roads that the Western manufac- for justice and fairness in the matter of rates, J. W. Kerr stated that the South- ern Pacific Company has found that it must assist in the development of the industries of the West, for the Eastern roads are no longer feeders of that sys- tem. It was declded that Mr. Fverett should attend the convention as the rep- resentative of the assoclation and get as many more of the members as he can to accompany him. The matter of pure food was discussed at length. It was the belief of the di- rectors that much good could be accom- flished by having the Government regu- ate the issuance of the proposed war | tax stamps by making the tax on pure | foods much lighter than upon stuff that is not pure or mixed. To this end Presi- dent Sbarboro was directed to send the following dispatch to the Pacific Coast representatives in Washington : “In framing new revenue law the Man- ufacturers’ and Producers’ Association of California requests discrimination in favor of pure food articles by light stamp taxes on pure food products and heavier taxes on mix and substitute food products.” The directors decided to accept the In- vitation of Chief Sullivan of the Fire De- partment to witness an exhibition of his new fire tower to-day at the foot of Bay street, and also to extend to him a vote of thanks for his close attention to the interests of the manufacturing district of this city. Five new members were eloct- ed.

[N THE REAL - ESTATE WORLD A Week Brings Little Improvement in the Market. Building Is Also Dull and Few Large Contracts Are Being Mad Glance at the Records, Sales and General Real Estate Notes. The lapse of a week has done little toward bettering thg condition of the real estate market of this city and the realty | realm generally throughout the State. But few sales, and very trivial ones at best, have kept business allve in the various offices throughout the city, and life in the | country markets seems well nigh extinct. Building, with but a few exceptions, has | been extremely slow here, with no im- provement in the country. The only sale that a broker can at the present time boast of can easily be narrowed down to the ordinary random note. The theory advanced in explanation of the stagnant condition of affairs is gen- erally attributed to hostillties with Spain and the confusion in the markets that the war will naturally produce in active progression. The mortgages and trust deeds re- corded for the last seven days are sll'ht‘liy | |in advance of the record for the preced- ing week, amounting to several hundred | dollars more than the sum total of re- leases and reconveyances.

Baldwin_on the northwest corner of Scott and Union streets. A good suggestion is made in the Bulld- | ng Review to the effect that instead of placing all electric lights at the corners |'of the streets, that the middle of the blocks be looked after also. The corners | down town are mearly all occupled by | places that keep lights burning at night, 50 that electric lights on these corners are not absolute necessities. Property-own- ers in the middle of the block should be shown some consideration. The Park Commissioners favor the petition of Richmond property- owners to have an entrance to the park constructed at Ninth avenue, and an or- namental arch will be erected. The contract for alterations and addi- tions to the building on the northeast corner of Bddy and Jones streets, to be | known as the Alhambra Theater, have been let in the sum of $3,156, with Camp- bell & Pettus. On the corner of Larkin and Sacra- mento streets, on a lot 40x100, a building to contain two stores and five flats, and to | cost $12,000, will be erected for James Perrini on plans by W. H. Lille.
