ALAMEDA COUNTY NEWS COMPANY A 1S AGGRIEVED Believe Oakland Should Send Two Companies. LOCATING THE MILITARY CAMP COLONEL HENSHAW SPENDS A DAY INSPECTING. Company F Musters and Is Much Gratified at Being Chosen for Service by tha Governor. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, June 22. There is great disappointment among local militiamen that Governor Budd should have accepted Company F and far declined Company A. At the bar- this morning the members of Com- pany F were busy beating up the entire company for the muster, which took place to-night. Couriers were sent out in all directions, so that the roll call might be complete. On the other hand, in the ad- Joining room at the armory, members of Company A looked on the preparations with jealous and disappointed eyes. This .sappointme: was not softened by an interview with Governor Budd published in a morning paper, stating that in mak- ing his cholce of the Second California Regiment he had disregarded all ment but that of effictency. This tinction applied to Company A is perhaps a trifle hard, as the two companies a sald to be equal in tactics and efficien and each is well equipped. At to-night's muster Company F re- ceived its orders, and from this time on they must be ready 10 march into camp. thusiasm shown after w re they hefr services.

STORY OF THE PRISONER HE WAS IN MORTAL FEAR OF THE DECEASED. Halsey Had Threatened Him So| Often That He Decided to Take No Chance on His Life. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, %8 Broadway, June 22. The fate of Stacey Rodge will be with the jury to-morrow evening. This afternoon the taking of the testimony ended and counsel stipulated that each | side should consume two and a half | hours in argument to-morrow, as Judge Ellsworth is anxious that the case should only occupy one mére day. The instruc- tions of the court will not take long, and the slayer of Halsey will hear his vers fct or know that the jury has disagreed to-morrow evening. L] was put on the stand by his this . morning. His evidence | sed for the purpose of showing | that Halsey was a quarrelsome man who | had, on several occasions, threatened the | ife of the accused. Rodgers stated that ey had told him he had killed a man Guatemala and had left that country s a_fugftive. Rodgers further festified that Halsey had figured in several scrapes and that his favorite weapon of defense was a knife. This bore out the testimo- ny of the woman who a few days ago testified that Halsey regularly carried a knife over a foot long in his jacket pock- et. With much calmness Rodgers told the story of the fatal night on which he | shot Halsey, Previous to this visit to| the Haynes house, where the murder oc- curred, Rodgers met Halsey in a cellar and ascertained from him whether his | own life was in danger. Halsey renewed | his threat and ever afterward Rodgers kept out of his way. The story of the murder was briefly told by the witnes He went to Haynes' house and after he turned to go Halsey rushed at him like a wild man, uttering vile epithets. Rodgers turned around, and when he saw Halsey with hands lifted in an aggres- ive attitude he believed he was about to e him with his knife. Owing to the ness he could not see Wi was in Halsey's hand. Without a moment’s thought he pulled his gun and fired while 1t_was still in his pocket. The prisoner stated that he was 21| years of age and had known Halsey for | ; years, but not intimately for more | than two months. He said that Halsey | once remarked: “A man is a fool to go | around without protection. I always mr-{ ry a companion.” The latter part of the afternoon was taken up with testimony in rebuttal of zers' evidence regarding Halsey's aracter. Town Treasurer Wells of Berkeley and a witness named Davis, who was once a partner of the deceased, were put on the stand, but they proved | of no value, testifying to the general rep- | in utation of .Halsey. With this testimony the case rested and argument will com- mence when court opens to-morrow morning. —_———— TO STORM MORRO CASTLE. Plans for an Elaborate Celebration of the Fourth in Oakland.

Teachers Elected for the Ensuing Term and Salaries Established. ALAMEDA, June 22—At last night's meeting of the Board of Education the important step was taken of selecting the teachers for the public schools for the en- suing term and also fixing their salaries. But few changes were made in the per- sonnel of the staff of teachers, as those now occupying positions have been care- fully selected and give uniform satisfac- tion. There were two resignations and their places were filled. Returned From Fort Romey. ALAMEDA, June 22.—Miss Elizabeth McLean of this city has just returned from Fort Romey, the Salvation Army colony at Soledad, where she has been since last January assisting in getting the colonists started.

Mrs. Beaglehole Agrees to Allow Miss Beaver to Go to Her Par- ent, Who Will Support Her. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, June 22. There is to be no contest over the cus- tody of Florence Beaver, the adopted daughter of Mrs. Eva May Beaglehole, a Reno milliner. The case was disposed of to-day by Mrs. Beaglehole consenting that letters of guaraianship should be issued to the girl’s father. During the testimony that was taken it developed that Mrs. Beaglehole had not been all that she represented herself. The evidence showed that she had once been convicted in the San Francisco Police Court of beating the girl and that she had been taken away from her by the San Francisco Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Children. Judge Paterson o San Francisco tried to make it appear that Mrs. Montgomery of the Beulah Home obtained the custody of the child on proceedings based on Mrs. Beaglehole s refusal to permit the girl to parade with the Salvation Army at Reno. Mrs. Mont- gomery replied that such was not the case, as the information they had was of a much more serious nature. Mrs. Mont- eomery declared that Mrs. Beaglehole had gone to her making false representa- tions. She declared she was a member of a Baptist church at Reno, but inquiry de- veloped the fact that she had been e pelled from the church. ‘When the testimony was concluded it was agreed that the contest father’s petition for guardianship should be renewed in court this morning, but a compromise prevented it. to the effect that the letters of adoption granted Mrs. Beaglehole are still in force and that the child be given into the cus- tody of her father, who agrees to support her and take all proper care of her. For the present Florence will remain with Mrs. Montgomery. — e Oakland News Notes. R. Tutt, son of E. R.

RED CROSS FUNDS. | OAKLAND, June 22—The Red Cross | League is somewhat divided regarding the | | scope of its work. There has been some | | difference of opinion expressed, and at | the meeting yesterday the president, Mrs. | Abbott, declared that some remarks made | by Mrs. Friend were “insubordinate.” | Mre. Friend is chairman of the Fifth | Ward Promoting Committee and she at once resigned and Miss Maria Babson, a | member of the executive committee, did | likewise. “My remarks did not apply to any par- ticular member or committee,” said Mrs. Abbott to-day. “I hope neither Mrs. | Friend nor Miss Babson will resign from | the committee, and I think when they un- derstand what 1 really intended by my emarks they will not, There is a ten- | dency on the part of some people to criticize the executive board for with- | holding its money, but we feel it is abso- lutely necessary to_watch out for funds closely. We are ordered by the State so- ciety to do so and we must not disobey orders. No one has any right to criticize us for obeying orders and I mentioned the matter as I thought it a proper time to call the attentlon of the ladies to the fact | that we look upon the Red Cross funds as a public trust, not to be touched upon lghtly. “The State soclety has already called upon the San Francisco Society for $5000 and we understand it will be our turn to give next, so we must be In readiness to meet the call. I am sorry that my re- marks have caused any unpleasantness and 1 will explain matters.” “T ‘resigned from the promoting com- mittee because I felt that I did not want to be chairman of a committee whose re- ports were not approved by the presi- dent,” said Mrs. Friend this morning. “I will,' however, remain in the Red Cross Society.” e Big Estate in Trouble. OAKLAND, June 22.—The vast estate of the Pratt minors is so heavily in debt that | permission was asked of the court to-day | to mortgage it for $27,430 to pay off some of the indebtedness. Unless objection is made all the estate, with the exception of the family residence at Fruitvale, will be mgrtgaged. CHIEF LEES USED IS INFLUENCE Colt’s Rifles for the Department. RUMORS OF A PUT-UP JOB LOCAL FIRMS CONDEMN THE CHIEF’S CHOICE. 4t Would Seem That Some Very Queer “Competition” Was Allowed in the Placing of a Large and Important Order. When the venerable head of the local Police Department again rides forth at the head of his stalwarts, either as escort to departing troops or in the great parade on the Fourth of July, he will have the satisfaction of knowing that his minions of tho law are armed with a death-dealing rifle which, although somewhat out of date, 18 a relic of the days when he worked as a boy in the Colt firearm fac- tory. Sad to relate, the Chief has again al- lowed his feelings to get the better of his judgment. He has used his prerogative to obtain an arm for the department which has not been heard of in this city in years, and has brought criticism on himself by completely ignoring the Win- chester Arms Company, the Marlin Rifle Company and other large manufacturers who tried to secure the order. The firms named might have submitted to the in- evitable had they been given a chance to show the valuable qualities of their rifles, but as this was not permitted the action has brought forth some unkind remarks. Chief Lees has been accused of favorit- ysm, and murmurs of a “job™ have been heard. This was all brought about through the 1:hn.ngln§1 of rifles in the department. At present the police are using Winches- ters in their drills, but it was deemed by the powers that be that they were too heavy and cumbersome, S0 a new weapon was ordered. The Chief, having had some voung man in that line, experience as a y rsr‘r’mmhered that the Union Metallic Cart- Company handled the memento of 31:5: gu?le y.’so he sent to that firm for a few samples. Theydnohor'xg "’1%'353‘ ood sale an - S N e Eat the Colt rifle was vince the Chief t he only real thing in the market. The 2&;&?&.@ weapon was explained thor- d he too#’ theI mntt.l:r er consideration.

When the loc representative for the well-known arm called on Lees he was Infosmed that it decided to use the Colt rifle, msdtrgfnegnobjecuo ade against the selection on every hand by men familiar with firearms, One e: stated yester- day that the Colt was practically unknown and out of date: that while it | was not obsolete the Winch. and | Marlin _rifies had overshadowed and | passed it. A visit was made to leading | gun stores and this statement was found | to be true. Although the gun was kept in stock very few sales were recorded. A representative of the Winchester | Arms Company, in speaking about the | matter vesterday, said: “Mr. Miller was | not permitted to show the good point | of our gun. He went out there but could | receive no satisfaction, which led us to believe that a job was on foot to push through a_cut ~and dried programme. The rifle they have out there now is a 73 model and shoots the same cartridge that the Colt does. It may_ be heavy,| but we think it is just as good as the one | chosen. The one we sent out was lighter | and more compact and not as compli- cated as the Colt. We would have been | willing to have taken back the old guns and given them a bonus if they had pur- | chased our arm.” e N e | McKEEVER WILL GO EAST. | The Clever Philadelphian Will Back | McConnell Against Daly or Tracy. Charley McKeever was a very much depressed man in spirits yesterday. He | acknowledged that he expected to defeat | McConnell in less than twenty rounds | and, above all things, a knockout was the last thing he looked for when he entered the ring on Tuesday evening. When asked for an opinion concerning the future of the local welterweight Mc- | Keever dld not hesitate to say that Mec- Connell was sufficlently qualified to hold his own against any man of the class he represents, and that if he should meet | Daly or Tracy he (McKeever) will have money on the lad from Frisco. “I did not look for a right-hand smash | when McConnell’s glove landed on my chin,” said McKeever, “in fact, I was | certain of landing my left, but McCon- | nell’s quick shift of the head saved him | from what I think would have been a finishing touch. “Well, the young fellow surprised me and you will find that he will do likewise to a good many of the'fighters who are rated in the championship class.” McKeever will leave for the East short- 1y, unless he can arrange another match on this coast in the very near future. McConnell is ready for another en- gagement at a moment’s notice and doubtless some of the athletic clubs will sign to fight either Jack Daly or Tom Tracy. The betting on the fight started at 10 to 7, with McKeever on the long end, then it ran to even money, but a flood of Eastern coin arrived a few hours before the contest, which ran McKeever's end \hxé), and the betting closed at 10 to 6% with cConnell on the short end. The lucky ones who had winning tickets to cash in | the paris mutuels received $38 for every dollar they gambled. It is said that the reason for the delay at Woodward's Pavilion was occasioned by an attachment that Jake Rauer had against, the Natlonal Club. e A Golden Gate Valley Ceiebration. The merchants of Golden Gate Valley are going to give a grand Fourth of July | celebration at the end of Fillmore street, |in the Fair estate lagoon, on the night of the Fourth. At a meeting held last night at Dewey Hall, on Fillmore and Fran- cisco streets, it was decided to Flve a dance at Stemke Hall, on Octavia and Union streets, on Wednesday, June 29, for the benefit of the celebration. Much interest is shown by the members of the club. Subscription books were issued to several members yesterday, and have al- ready shown good resuits, —_— Sale of Government Bonds. Cashier B. A.

Preparations are being made by the Native Daughters of the Golden West Red Cross Ald to give the Towa troops a reception similar to the one given DMinnesota’s representatives at the Mechanics’ Institute a week ago. It is intended to hold the affair in the | Mechanics’ Pavilion on either Monday or | Tuesday evening, the proceeds to be turned over to the Red Cross Society. Al- ready committees are working energeti- greater success than the initial display. As betore, the Pavilion will be tastefully decorated, distinguished soldiers and civil- jans will be invited and everything done to bring a generous public there, so as to glve the visitors a royal welcome. A plendid feast will be prepared by the ladies of the well-known society, and it is thought that the light fantastic will be tripped in honor of the boys in blue. Soldiers will be admitted to the Pavilion many hundred campmates wish to see their brothers in arms exhibit their drill- ing abllities before a large gathering. At the last meeting of the ative Daughters’ Aid the followin neatN!l‘lm: were received: Commercial Travelers of America, Gelden Gate Council No. 80 Pacific Parlor, $5; National Parior; Golden Gate Parlor, 100 yards of flann The following persons sent donations to the Red Cross rooms at 16 Post, street: Mrs. §.

Two most pitiable cases were brought to the Patriotic Homg Helpers' Society’s headquarters yesterday, and while they the hands of the society, their absolute need should appeal to every charitably dis- posed person. One is a woman with six children, whose only support, a son, has enlisted in the cavalry. She is abso- lutely destitute, without food or money, her bedding and mattresses having been taken away by the landlord. The other is one of sickness and poverty, The hus- band having enlisted in the navy she is alone and in need of medical attendance. The society does all in its power to al- leviate distress, but each case has to be investigated first, so donations of money and food are most earnestly solicited. The two women who are collectin from house to house in the vicinity o Pacific avenue and Jackson street are impostors, and the public is warned by the Red Cross not to ald them. The Austrian Military and Benevolent | Association will hold its twentieth an- nual family gathering and outing at Ger- mania Gardens, near Presidio, next Sun- day, June 25. As the proceeds of the pic- nic will be given to the Red Cross So- clety of California, the association has made efforts to make this occasion a dis- tinetly enjoyable one, and expects to be liberally patronized —e——— SKIFF MEN WILL RACBE. Several Close Contests Aro Expected at the E1 Campo Regatta on Sunday. Numerous entries have been received for the skiff and shell events at the El Campo regatta next Sunday, and several keen contests are looked forward to. The following order of races has been decided upon: 1. First heat, junlor outrigged skiffs, 2. Second heat, junior outrigged skiffs. 3. Special match race between Alex. and William McCausland. 4. Senior shell race. 5. Final heat, junior outrigged skiffs. 6. Senior outrigged skiffs. To avoid confusion, it has been ordered that each contestant shall choose a num- bered stake, which he must round. The entries for the various events are as follows: Victor Cagllerl of the Dolphins, H. Wilder of the Pio- neers, J. Lyons of the South Ends and ‘W. Hansen of the Alamedas. 2. Coney Ochs of the Pioneers, W. Howe of the Ariels and J. Lewis of the Alamedas. 3. Alex Pape of the Dolphins and William McCausland of the Arlels. 4. H. Wittkopf of the Ariels and J.

Wilson of the Arfels, Chet Ayers of the Alamedas and William McCausland of the _Ariels. Though Alex Pape and Willlam McCaus- land are both entered for the senior skiffs, it is probable that only one of them will row, and H. Wittkopf is also a doubtful Pape competitor. The ‘posmons of the contestants will be as follows in the first heat of the unior outrigged skiff race: H. Wilder 1, . Caglieri 2, W. Hansen 3, J. Lyons 4.

Sullivan of the Dolphins, Dan Leahy and E. Shea of the Pioneers, George Miller and H. W. Maas of the Alamedas. Overend Fights for Liberty. At last the attorneys for Alfred Over- end have pushed his case into the Su- preme Court. Overend was found guilty of contempt of -court by Superior Judge ‘Wallace, who imposed three fines, aggre- gating $1500 and five days' imprisonment. A second petition for a writ of habeas corpus was granted by the higher court, the first having been refused. The points ade that the petitioner has served his term of {mprisonment and is entitled to release; that a sentence of a term of imprisonment and a fine of $1500 is beyond the jurisdiction of a Judge to give and beyond his jurisdiction to im- pose. Also that the jury in the case against Minnie Campbell, at which the petitioner refused to answer, for which he was found guilty of contempt, has been discharged by Judge Wallace, and there is no issue to be heard. The mat- ter v;m be heard to-day in the Supreme Court. _—— YUKON VESSELS. Those Carrying fa;s;;geu 1day Soon Be Subject to Inspection. The movement of the Supervisors and the Chamber of Commerce to have sail- ing vessels carrying passengers inspected by Federal officials before leaving port is beginning to bear fruit. After a num- ber of disasters and mishaps, like those of the Almy and Jane Gray, in which lives were lost, the bodies mentioned came to the conclusion that it was time for all sailing vessels carrying passen- | gers to be Inspected to determine if they were safe to carry such preclous freight. A resolution was sent to Senator Per- kins, expressing the desire of having some law passed whereby such ships should be inspected by a Federal officer, as at the present time none stands on the books. Senator Perkins went to work as requested, and what has been accomplished is shown by the following letter, received yesterday: WASHINGTON, D. C., June 15, 1898. Hon. Hugh Cralg, President Chamber of Commerce—My Dear Sir: Your telegram of June 14 relative to supervision by the United States of sailing vessels carrying passengers is at hand and a copy has been placed in the hands of each member of the delegation. The matter has been called to the attention of the Treasury Department and I am now preparing a bill bearing on the subject, which I will in- troduce at once. 1 had already had one branch of this under consideration—relative to barges hulks, which it was the custom to tow from Pugef Sound—and in March last introduced a bill amending the statutes, making such changes as were recommended by General Du- mont. This bill has passed the Senate and is now before the House. In the bill T shall in- troduce I will carry out your later suggestio: Yours very truly, GEORGE C. PERKINS. —_——————— WILLS FILED FOR PROBATE. Mother of Robert Lynch, Secretary to Rev. J. George Gibson, Dis- poses of Her Estate. Rev. J.
