It is one of the most rep resentative grand juries that has ever | been empaneled, but there is no doubt | that its deliberations and investigations | have been considerably hampered by the | influence of politics. Many scandals | known to exist have been probed by this | body persistently and energetically, but the evidence placed before them has amounted to very little but gossip. The investigation of the water rate tales of bribery at the dals brought these matters prominently [ b . and in this way, per- h some good has been obtained.” But > guilty ones are in no more danger of th being punished for their misdeeds than they were before the jury convened. Some of the grand jurors are very dis- appointed at the outcome of the trial of Harry Thomas. They took testimony clearly establishing the fact that through the fnfluence of voung Thomas Robert McKenzie was induced to give false testi- mony before the Grand Jury. They authorized the uance of the indict- ment, and were very disappointed to find that the matter with which Harry ymas was alleged to have been con: ted was not under | stigation by m in any legal For the past been engaged in going over the fifances of the county.

THEY WILL SCALP MR. VAN BOKKELEN DIOCESAN TREASURER HAS MADE ENEMIES. a complish Rev. Marshall Law and Other Clergy Object to Being ‘“Rounded Up” by an Offensive Official. Oakland Office San Francisco Ci %08 Broadway, June When the diocesan convention of the Episcopal church meets in San Fran- cisco, a determined effort will be made to secure the ousting of Treasurer Van Bok- kelen. Already some theological politics is being done, which has for its pose the removal of the official who has all, { & made himself obnoxious to several clergy- | men in Bishop Nichols' diocese. The opposition to Mr. Van Bokkelen fs being led by Rev. Marshall V. Law of Zast Oakland, who has figured In many sensational ecclesiastical episodes on both sides of the bay. At the last gathering of ministers in San Francisco, Mr. Law created some talk by charging that politi- cal methods were being introduced into the council. Some time later he pub- lished a statement crediting Treasurer Van Bokkelen with knowingly misrepre- senting the financial condition of Church of the Advent. Now the Bast Oakland rector states that he has received numerous letters from clergymen in the diocese protesting against “the methods of the diocesan treasurn;lr. Rev. Mr. Law's spicy philippic B ollows: To answer numerous Inquirles in regard to the treasurer of the diocese, that Mr. Van Bokkelen Is not by the ¥ directors of the corporation, and then become: ex-officio treasurer of the dfocese. These seven directors are, however, chosen by the conven- tion. It is, therefore, not at all likely that If a resolution adverse to the present treasurer's ention was passed in open conventfon it would be unheeded by this board of directors. | Or a petition sent directly to the board of directors after their election, signed by a ma- ority of the clergy would also be likely to heeded. Judging from voluntary expres- slons of clergy and laity, both personally and in writing, which the rector has recefved within the past two weeks, some such move may be | expected at the coming convention. The office of diocesan treasurer ‘carries with it a salary of %800 per annum, which, for the work re- of the position do not {nterfere with a man's | regular business. Mr. Van Bokkelen has made | himself very offensive to the clergy of this | convocation by rising in the meetings of the convocation and *‘rounding them up” in his well known objectionable and meddlesome fashion, and they can be counted on to put the machinery In motion to put an end to such o state of affairs.

FEARS NO CLOUDED TITLE FRANCHISES NOT USED ALSO SUBJECT TO TAXATION. Several Corporations Have Not Paid Their Share for the Support of the City Gov- ernment. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, %8 Broadway, June 4. The delinquest tax list of' the city of Oakland shows that there is a much larger delinquency than usual. This is no doubt owing to the fact that the large of which are now in dispute, is included |in the district covered by the Tax Col- lector’s delinquencies. | By far the largest amount of taxes not paid is that of the railroad company in | paid is that of the railroad i its various branches. The Central Pacific | Company has declined to pay $18% 3 on | the ferry, depot and slip at the mole, and 13151 70 on the improvements at Long Wharf. Charles Goodall, a trustee repre- senting _the muninged interests of the | water front at the foot of Myrtle and | Market streets, is delinquent for $246 20. | The Oakland Water Front Compaay | has not paid on nearly all of its claimed land. The amounts of $345, $565, $625, $1212 | are all unpaid, and will be' subject to the tax sale to be held on July 2. The land of the Cenfral | pany in West Oakland is taxed for $810, while $41 is due from Charles Goodall as a trustee, and $2 o land in’ Clinton. All of this territory will | be sold, but under the present compli- cated condition of water front title there is little fear of any one purchasing it, for a tax title would appear as a very small addition to all the titles and clouds now existing, One of the most peculiar of the state- | ments in the delinquent list is the assess- territory north of Oakland, the city taxes !

This is taken as an admission that it cannot com- pete with the Haywards electric line, as the trains named are those placed on the run two years ago to offset the electric traffic. There are still twelve dally trains each way and an extra one on éunduv, which will accommodate all who desirc to travel by steam. ——— GARGAGE CREMATION. . Some Oppouitfon to {he Proposition to Establish a Crematory in Alameda. ALAMEDA, June 4.—At the meeting of the Board of Health last evening a repre- sentative of a garbage cremation com- pany requested permission from the au- thorities to bring garbage from Oakland across Webster-street bridge for the Eurpnse of burning it in a crematory now eing built on the marsh near the shore of the estuary. He asserted that the cre- mation of such material did not create a nuisance and that there was no smoke or odor from it. The matter was referred to a committee to Investigate and report. The proposition, however, met with strong opposition on the part of the peo- ple resident in that part of town nearest to the crematory. They claim that such an_establishment would assuredly be a nuisance, and they will make a stron; protest to the Board of Health and Boar of Trustees. A Life Saving Fender. ALAMEDA, June 4.—Night before last sent a supply of handkerchiefs, socks and towels to Camp Merritt this week, which was highly appreciated by the recipients. The Red Cross Soclety of this city is making arrangements to in giving iunches to the soldiers at the ferry, and the kpublic is called to aid in the good work. The Alameda and Pacific Cricket clubs will piay the second scheduled game in the cup match to-morrow at the West End grounds.

The en- | I o gineer tried to stop the vehicle, but could not do so. It was stopped quickly, how- ever, when, to the relief' of all who saw the accident, the child was found lying on the fender entirely unhurt. This makes the thirty-first life saved by the devices in use on all the lines of the syndicate system in Oakland, Alameda and vicinity. It is an invention of a former employe of the line and has never failed to work like a charm. 5 Alameda News Notes.

CONSTABLE DICTATES | NEW VIEWS ON DISTRIBUTING | PATRONAGE. Justice Clift to Benefit by a Row Be- tween Justice Lawrence and | Constable Weldon. Oakland Office San Francsco Call, %S Broadway, June 4. Justice Lawrence of Brookiyn Town- ship has been boycotted by Constable Weldon because he expects Mr. Weldon to pay a portion of the rent of the East Oakland courtroom. The Justice business r East Oakland is transacted by Justice awrence, Constable Glaze and Constable Weldon. Bince the last siection ey hage done business in harmony, but now they haye quarreled. | When the three officials first took office | they agreed that they should share the | obligation of rent paying, and for a year all went smoothly. ‘At the end of that | period Constable Weldon concluded that he was taking so much business into the | court and thereby enabling the Justice to | earn so many fees that he was entitled to | free rent. The Justice did not take thi | view of the case, and for many months | their relations have been strained. | _A few days ago Justice Lawrence served | was in arrears for rent he declined to al- | low the constable to remove his chattel Weldon, however, is accustomed to cir- cumventing belligerent litigants, and yesterday morning, before the sun was up, he went to the courtroom and took | away his belongings. He now declares that he will take all the business he can to Justice Clift's court in Oakland. | The amount earned by the constables | for the past year is $4655 35, while the Jus- | tice earned but $1494. Therefore, on the | basis of a general average, the constables | should have paid more than two-thirds of | the rent. This is the view held by Judge | Lawrence, and hence the difficulty. ——————— MONEY TO FEED THE BOYS. | Three More Regiments Coming, Be- sides Hundreds of Farmer Boys. OAKLAND, June 4.—The emergency committee of the Red Cross Soclety in charge of Mrs. 1. L. Requa desires dona- tions of dollar pieces for its work.
