If Successful Others May Be Induced to Enter the Combination to Control the Trade. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, June 25. The efforts to form a milk trust in this city have failed, and although five of the most prominent dairymen have decided by Director Fay that the scheme as originally planned cannot be carried out. One of the most important factors in preventing the formation of a solid milk trust was the incorporation of all the Portuguese dairymen a few weeks ago The in this county, and without them ‘in the combine it could not be a success, because even the trust dealers admit that the Portuguese supply @ good quality of milk. | In order to bring about conditions that | would favor a trust an effort was made some time ago to take advantage of the high price of hay b: king the feed men not to give any credit to milkmen who | sold below a certain price per can. This, | however, was not successful, for one of | able to_pay spot cash for all the feed it required, and this broke up the attempt to_control the feed men. “While I had no doubt that it would be better for all concerned to have the milk trade arranged systematically,” said Di- rector Fay to-day, “it is quite impossible to get all the dealers to agree. Five of us shall try to prove that by working to- gether and saving the covering of the same territory by many different wagons it is advantageous to combine. At resent many who once favored the plan ave withdrawn, and although I believe they will eventually see that there is| protection in combination, they are now inclined to go along on the old line. | The combination should have been ready to commence operations before now, but was unable to_get all the tenants in | the property at Eldevemh and Clayts(fesg!s, | v y intend to open a central dis- | iating 5 For & long fime it was | balked by a dealer named Walker, who wanted $250 to move into the next store | As the trust would not pay | led into inspecting his lease, | this, it was | when it was found that it contained a | clause stating that if improvements were | decided on he would have to move.

GREAT REGARD FOR A WEAK BROTHER| | HOW OFFICIALS WILL TRY TO KEEP RAFFERTY SOBER, Publish a Notice That No One Must Sell Him Any More Beer in the Township. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, %08 Broadway, June 25. Thomas Rafferty of Pleasanton is a much advertised man, though the nature of the publicity given him would not be | ordinarily considered agreeable. For a long time Mr. Rafferty has given the Pleasanton officials much trouble. He has been arrested on many occasions for the same old habit—drunkenness. Jus- | tice Brophy, Marshal Head and Constable | Lyster have personally made many ef- forts to reform their townsman, but with- out effect, and now they have taken a dif- terent tack. Last Monday Rafferty was up before Justice Brophy on the same old charge. Owing to some defect in the proceedings Rafferty was discharged. But the officers do not Intend to let Mr. Rafferty fill a drunkard’s grave if they can help it. They have taken sufficient imterest in Mr. Rafferty to issue the following warn- ing to all saloon-keepers in Murray Township: - “To whom it may concern—Notice is hereby given that every person who sells or furnishes or causes to be sold or fur- nished to Thomas Rafferty, an habitual | or common drunkard, any intoxicating | liquor will be prosecuted under sectfon | 7 ‘ode. 30 of the Pena) PO8® HEAD, Marshal. “L. M. LYSTER, “Constable of Murray Township. “Pleasanton, June 20, 188" Should this method of proclaiming drunkards be followed in this county thé Oakland papers would be publishing many such notices and they would prob- ably have a far greater effect than “'$3 or six days. —_—————————— Hay Burned by Incendiaries. ALAMEDA, June 2.—Last night a lot of baled hay, belonging to Quong Fat, at his garden adjoining the Cohen prop- erty, was destroved by fire. The loss was $600.” It is believed that the fire was started purposely by a gang of boys who infest that neighborhood and with whom the Chinaman had had trouble because of their damaging the hay while he was hauling it. Another Republican Club Organized. ALAMEDA, June 2.—The Young Men’s Repubiican Club of Alameda was organized last evening at the Encinal Hotel, The following officers were elect- President, James M.

SERGEANTS T0 BE RETAINED Mayor Thomas Sees No Reason for Removal. { THE CHIEF IS SATISFIED NO EXTRA PAY GOES WITH THx HONOR. Not Much Needed, but Will Not Be Dropped Unless Some Good Reason Can Be Shown. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, June 25. In spite of all that is being said re- garding the dropping of two sergeants from the police force there is no inten- tion on the part of the Board of Police Commissioners . to take any such action. Some time before Chief Lloyd went out of office, at his request two patrolmen, Peterson and Green, were promoted to be sergeants. There is no extra ary in the office, but there is a little dignity to it, and the incumbent is at liberty to wear two or three extra bands of gold lace and a more ornamental badge on his cap. The appointment of sergeants has never been popular with the men on the force. They regard the intermediate officers more as spies than anything else, and on several occasjons friction has resulted. With the system now perfect in this city by station every hour, it is considered un- necessary to have sergeants running around town seeing that the men are on their beats. Mayor Thomas said yesterday that all the talk about removing the sergeants is nonsense and has no foundation in fact. “I for one have no intention of advocat- ing any changes in the department,” he said. *‘Everything is running smoothly a)nd I see no reason .for disturbing things.” Chief of Police Fletcher was asked this morning about the matter and sald that he did not favor any change at present. “The two men, Peterson and Green, are doing all right,” said the Chief, ‘‘and al- !hou%h I do not see any particular use for three sergeants in our force, still the men have been appointed and unless which officers report to the central | died in this city last night and will be buried from Masonic Temple to-morrow (Sunday) at 2:30 p. m, The late Thomas Gray, who died at Haywards on May 3, left an estate in that town_ consisting of a house and lot valued at .

He is seriously injured but will recover. J. J. Valentine Returns. OAKLAND, June 2%.—J. J. Valentine and his wife returned to their home to- day. They left four months ago and have traveled all over the country, com- ing from Yokohama on the Coptic. —_—— AN ACT OF HEROISM. Jack Brady, a Boa!;:—an, Saves the Life of His Friend, Jack Richardson. An act of heroism was performed yes- terday by Jack Brady, a boatman, which resulted in saving his friend, Jack Rich- ardson, from a watery grave. The two friends went out in a whitehall boat, and when off Selby’s smelting works the boat cniflzed. Brady man- aged to get on the keel of the upturned boat and dragged Richardson beside him. Richardson was washed off several times, but Brady rescued him each time. The revenue cutter Hartley went to the men's assistance and rescued them just in time, at least for Richardson, as he was thoroughly exhausted, and Brady’s strength _could not have held out much longer. Richardson was rolled on a bar- rel and other remedies taken to bring him back to_consciousness till they were successful. He had a close shave, and but for Brady would have been ‘‘across the river.” ———————— YACHT RACES. Many Entries Have Been Received for the Regatta of the San Franciscos.

Bright, pleasant . weather, a good, lively programme and an attendance conservatively estimated at some twen- ty-five hundred people, combir~d to make the opening day of the P. C. B. T. H. A’s summer meeting a big success. Society turned out in ereat force at the Oakland track, and private carriages were in lively evidence. The events of the day were promptly dispatched, and nothing unpleasant oc- curred to mark an enjoyable after- noon's sport. The officials were: Judges—A. H. Co- hen, F. W. Covey and T. J. Crowley; starter, Richard Havey; timers—T. Pearson, F. Betner and Clarence Day; clerk of the course, Richard Ledgett.

Silyer Queen delayed the start by un- steadiness a few scores, and to a very uneven send off they were sent away by Joe Selby at least two lengths ahead ot the pole, which advantage Smith made good by early taking the pole. Reet, the favorite, made a disastrous break in the second quarter and was passed by every horse in the race. Selby, after a com- manding lead through the back stretch, was joined at the head of the stretch by Favor and Mamie Riley when a hot fight for the heat ensued. At the seven fur- long post Joe Selby stopped, having shot his bolt, and a very pretty brush_from that point to the wire between Youns Durfee with Mamie Riley and Clark with A DEPARTURE IN CHURCH ARCHITECTURE. The Handsome New Home of the Unitarian Congregation of Berkeley, Now Under Construction. BERKELEY, June 25.—By the 1st of September the Unitarians of Berkeley will have a church of their own. Their temporary. use of Stiles Hall has always been a matter of protest on the part of the orthodox ministers in town, and more than once they were on the point of being forced to go elsewhere. That whole difficulty will be set- tled when the building now being erected at the corner of Bancroft Way and Dana street is completed. In style the structure will be a bold departure from the conventional church architecture. The covering, both on the roof and sides, will consist of hand split cedar shingles laid a foot to the weather, giving a silvery gray ef- fect. wooden keys. In the interior the walls are to be paneled to a height of eight feet with wide redwood boards fastened by Above this the walls will be roughly plastered and colored a deep red. The trusses of the roof will be formed of 12x12 rough pine beams, supported by heavy ship knees, and the rafters of 6x6 rough pine, all stained a deep brown. To add to the rustic effect the posts supporting the beams on the porch will be redwood trunks, three feet in diameter, with the bark left on. The building was designed by A. C. Schweingarth. of 300. In size it will be 75 feet square, with a seating capacity It will be erected at a total cost of $5000. The building committee consists of W. B. Payson, Edmund Gray and J. L. Bunnell. The trustees of the church are Professor William Carey Jones, Edwin Bunnell and S. N. Wyckoff. they do something to deserve punishment I do not think it would be right to reduce them. They have been put to considgr- able expense in acquiring new uniforms and badges for which they receive no compensation, and as their salary is just equal to that of a({) trolman they should be left undisturbed.” ————— LIQUOR IN CAMP. Sheriff White Says He Believes It to Be Illegal. OAKLAND, June 2.—Referring to the possibility of several saloons springing up around the camp to be established at BSather, Sheriff White said to-day: “It won't be allowed if I can prevent it,” he declared. *“I was surprised and disgusted the other day when I visitea Camp Merritt and saw enlisted men drinking and carousing in saloons. Dur- ing the civil war I was connected with the provost department and such a thing as selling liquor to an enlisted man was not_permitted. “In 1861 the Congress of the United States passed a law declaring that ne liquor should be sold to enlisted men. believe you will find that law has never been repealed. But whether it has or not, it is outrageous to permit enlisted men to be served with liquor in saloons at or near a camp. They are permitted to carry sidearms, and just imagine the results of a squad of infantrymen with sword-bayonets being permitted to fill themselves with liquor in a saloon. Sup- pose they quarrel; it means a fight and somebody wounded, and perhaps killed, or at least permanently disabled. “Then again new recruits who may soon be called into active service in a cHmate they are not accustomed to, should not be.soaked with whisky or beer. Men die under such conditions; die like sheep. They are the first to fall victims to fevers; they are unable to endure the hardships of marching under arms, to say :A]othlng of enduring the shock of bar- e. *“No, sir; we will have no'more saloons around the new camp site if T can pre- vent it, and T believe that I can. I shall ‘most certainly try to.” Oakland News Notes. OAKLAND, June 2.—A party of Qak- landers, consisting of Banker W. G. Pal- manteer, Councilman F. R. Girard, A. L. McPherson and H. M.

A Steady Decline in Farm Products Generally—Barley Market in Bad Condition. Farm products, while not materially lower than a weék ago, still show de- clining tendencies. Liverpool quotations during the past week have daily shown a small decline as compared with the previous day. Paris markets became im- bued with bearish inclinations and have shown a marked decline for the week. The situation abroad is one where buy- | ers took fright and overstocked them- selves with wheat at very high prices. Now they are selling futures in our mar- | kets to hedge first holdings. Some for- | elgn fmporters have, upon technical | grounds, refused purchases made from | Leiter, using as a basis of their refusal | that the goods were not equal to sample, | which course will probably prove of no | avail to them. The trade throughout the world know that Leiter's wheat is the best the market affords. The refusal to accept is merely to avoid a loss. "Phe failure of Leiter has put all wheat mar- kets in a state of chaos, no one knowing what to expect next. Another depressing factor is the good crop prospects, which were par excel- lence until the past ten days, when much danger was reported from the South- ‘western States by too much moisture and | cold, unseasonable weather. Upon these reports shorts and the Southwest bought | freely, causing an advance to 69%c for September wheat. Added to these bull- | ish factors came reports of damage to | the French crops, which was later de- nied, effecting a general change in senti- ment. Heavy selling by those who bought early in the week characterized the mar- ket during the last three days of the week. The market ylelded stubbornly, | but the bears succeeded in forcing the })rlce to 66%c for September and 66%c for December at the close on Saturday. Ar- mour and his following have been persis- | tent sellers of the deferred futures and | buyers of cash wheat, spot being in good | demand at 8c to 10c over July, which op- tion is about bc over September. At pres- ent’the feeling in the wheat market from a_ professional standpoint is bearish. | There is a bright side to look upon that | is at this time well to consider. Tl;\e trade Is discountig a crop of 750,000,000, or 100,000,000 more than the Government re- port of June 10 estimated. There has | been considerable damage done to the crop of winter wheat. The harvesting of winter wheat will begin after July 4. The continuous rains of late, if they continue, | will make harvesting late and additional damage result. The yield per acre, it is| claimed by well-posted grain men, will | prove disappointing. The spring wheat | section is rapidly approaching a period where_conditions, if a change comes, must be for the worse. It séems only reasonable that prices are as low as they really should be. Sentiment has carried with it a period of depression which later on may, prove unwarranted. Foreigners | will walt American wheat at prices much | above those prevailing at present. June is about over and liquidation by long | holders of July, if not entireiy over, is well nigh so. ‘would not be unexpect- ed to see a change for the better after July 1. Wheat in the local market sold at §1 223 for December during the week. At the decline shippers were quietly buy- ing. Should any accident happen to the | Oregon and Washington crops an ad- vance of no small proportions would oc- | cur. Shorts are becoming more cautiaus and playing close to shore. The bulls are holding off, awaiting- some signs that will strengthen their position. | arley continues steady around $1 12% for wecember. Considerable old barley is arriving from the north.

As the time draws nearer interest in the sixteenth annual gathering and games of the San Francisco Scottish Thistle Club to be held in Shell Mound Park on July Fourth is increasing. The arrangements for the event are of the most elaborate description, and the pa- trons of the club may expect a rare day’'s sport and amusement. Besides the usual athletic events there | will be some ngw and novel features, one of the most entertaining being a cake walk between Major Waters and Milton Johnson, champions of Oakland, -and Charies O’Brien and John Duke, cham- plons of San Francisco. There will be dancing in the two pa- villons all day and at night, the music being supplied by a celebrated band. The games will be under the supervision of the official starter, John Donaldson, Royal Chief Dawson and Recorder Pa- terson. Andrew Ross, the chieftain of the ciub, has ‘made all arrangements for the entertainment of the guests, and they may expect a right royal Highland wel- come. In the evening there will be a grand display of fireworks, embracing a num- ber of patriotic features. Soldiers and sailors of the army and navy will be ad- mitted to the grounds free of charge, and any participating in the athletic events will not be charged an entrance fee. —_——————— A Point for Supervisors. The Supreme Court holds that a Super- visor cannot secure a demand from the county for any other services than those specified by law. This was brought out in the mandamus proceedings of D. C. Shepherd, a Supervisor of San Joaquin County, who in 1865 attended the Super- visors’ convention in Los Angeles. He grasen(ed his bill for expenses and the oard passed the demand, that body hav- ing by resolution authorized the attend- ance at the convention. The Auditor re- fused to draw his warrant for the de- mand and his position was upheid by ths Superfor Court, whose decision was af- firmed by the Supreme Court.
