Next Monday evening the Emeryville Trustees will consider a petition from an Oakland saloon-keeper for permission to conduct poolrooms and make books on Eastern races. Emeryville is the only place in Alameda County where there is any hope of conducting poolrooms, and until Monday it will not be known how great Is the foundation for the hope. There is much opposition to the scheme and a counter petition will be presented at the meeting praying that poolrooms be forbidden, as they would attract a dis- reputable elemen Ir. Lissak, who rep- resents Thomas Williams Jr., at present in Japan, said to-d that the California Jockey Club was very much opposed to licer bookmakers on Eastern races. “After we have made an investment of | $300,000, eaid Mr. Lissak, “w& will be apt | to protect our own interests. It is ab- surd to suppose that persons who might put up a shed and sell pools on Eastern races should be permitted to come in and erfere with their business.

The first section has been pretty thoroughly treated upon in the past and a general expression of the people given. The second section, the war, is now being considereg, and it seems there Is little room for discussion upon that subject. and such as is required will be par ticipated In by our army and navy to & o acaca 2 il 4 the entire =atisfaction of the people.

RUNAWAY ON THE GRADE COACH POISED A MOMENT ON A PRECIPICE. s Though Thrown Out and Badly In- Jured the Passengers Will All Recover—Veteran’s First Accident. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 98 Broadway, June 17. Several well-known Oaklanders are ly- ing in beds and bandages at Yosemite as the result of a serious accident that oc- curred two days ago. The mishap was due to a runaway on an embankment, and half a dozen people are wondering how their lives were preserved. The story of the miraculous escape which caused Senator Moffit “to pray as he never prayed before” is told in ad- vices received to-day. A party, consist- ing of Senator and Mrs. F. J. Moffit, Miss Pratt, Mr. and Mrs. George Roed- ing of Fresno, Will Dargie Jr., Mr. Heus- ton (a retired banker of New York), Hon. J. 8. Zevely (a Government agent), and Jefferson Moffit left the Sentinel Hotel for a drive up the valley. Tom Gordon, who has navigated in the Yosemite for a quarter of a century, was the driver, and all went well until a point eleven miles from Wawona was reached, when the horses were changed. Three were gentle, but Gordon told the party not to speak a word, for the fourth horse would kick at the sound of a voice, At Inspira- tion Point the vicious leader suddenly commenced kicking, and an instant later he was on a mad run, dragging and ex- citing the other three horses. The brake and all the weight the driver put on the | reins exerted no influence over the wlld‘ runaways. It was the steepest down | grade on the route. Every feet there Was a sharp curve, and the tendency of the coach to swing toward the bank was all that prevented an upset for a quarter of a mile. The driver finally turned to the party and said, ““We are gone, nothing cansave us.” Senator Moffit shouted, “We have a | better chance by not jumping,” and everybody sat still. In rcunding two curves close together one of the horses went over the embankment. At exactly that point on the other edge of the riad | “divine Providence” had placed a tree fully five feet in circumference. The front wheel of the coach struck this tree and rent in it a gash the size of the bukb. Gordon says that the team at that time was going fully eighteen miles an hour. When the front wheel struck the tree the hind wheel was already over the em- bankment. The coach remained straight for a smail Por(lon of a second from the impact, until the hind hub was embedded in_the same tree. The concussion from the first bump sent Miss Pratt and the driver flying to the right, Mr. and Mrs. Moffit to the left. Young Moffit landed in the middle of the road. Three of the horses scrambled away, dragging the driver, while the rest of the passengers, with the exception of Will Dargie Jr., were jolted in the coach and severely and painfully wounded. Mrs. Moffit clambered up the bank unaided, while the Senator remained unconscious on_the rocks for nearly an hour. Miss Pratt received probably twenty-five gashes. This is the first accident that has ever happened to | the veteran driver, Gordon. An investi- gation of the scene later showed that had the tree been one foot to the right or left from where it was the wholeparty would have gone down the embankment 500 feet on to the rocks in the Merced | River. The maimed passengers are now recovering at the hotel, but it will be several days before they can pursue their Pleasure trip. Young Dargle was the jured in the least, and on the return of the Oaklanders they are going to ask | Yosemite Commissioner Foote to name | the tree that saved their lives “Salvation Tree.” Young Men’s Institute. ALAMEDA, June 17.—California Coun- cil No. 24, Young Men's Institute, of this city, held its annual meeting last evening and elected the following officers: lain, Rev. F.

There Is likely to be trouble over the bill for the printing of the delinquent tax list. It was submitted to the board and was referred to C. E. wman for veri- fication. His report was made to the Finance Committee yesterday, and in it he sald he had found an overcharge of $1009 66, reducing the from $34% 14 to $2485 38, In explanation the expert stated that the contractor Wad charged for notes and de- scriptions 7 cents a line, the same as he charged for a name, while the law dis- tinctly says he may charge only so much as the type makes in thousands of ems in the type generally used in the publica- tion, which in this case is agate. At the rate of 7 cents a line th ings up the cost of a page to about $24, while at the rate by the thousand ems the page would cost omly $8 25. He accordingly rectified the account throughout and presented it to the Finagce Committee. The matter as lald over until the next meeting in order to give the proprietors of the Jour- nal of Commerce, who had the contract, a chance to explain their inflated bill. Much of the time of the committee was taken up in the investigation of the ac- counts of Alfred Fuhrman, collector of delinquent taxes, It was charged that Fuhrman had collected as his commission 40 per cent of his total collections, while the law allowed him but 25 per cent. He nted to the committee all his bills, showed that they had been verified pr and by Cyril Willlams, the expert of the Finance Committee. Upon the showing of the bills and the verifications of the expert, thi llowed to drop. —_—e————————— ISAKSEN STILL FREE. Warrant Sworn Out for His Arrest on the Charge of Felony Embezzlement.
