A GUARDIAN IS APPOINTED JOEL J. HURT REVILES HIS EX-WIFE'S HUSBAND. Judge Ogden Says the Case Is the Most Difficult He Has Ever Been Required to Decide. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, Broadway, July 1L The contest over the children of Joel Hurt J. noon. of Wyoming ended this after- either the father nor mother can claim a victory, although the honors are | probably with the father, inasmuch as ir mother and placed in charge of a guardian. This morning Hurt took the witness- st eriences. He testified that at e he was worth one just now. While giving his testimony he frequently referred to his ex-wife's hus- band, Alphonse Schaeffer, as “this thing” and ‘‘that thing” and ‘“such a thing.” He gave vent to his inmost feelings when he said: “It would be the greatest pleasure of my life to bring this mother and her | children together in my own household, but 1 could never do it while she associ- ates with this horse thief.” Hurt also stated that in every letter he sent his lit- tle girl he placed $ and a tinhorn gam- bler (Schaeffer) stole it. ‘‘The Sheriff of Cheyenne County,” said Hurt, “told me that Schaeffer took the alimony that I gave my wife before she was married and gambled it off. He also receipted for the alimony at the bank. All this loafer wants s the alimony from his wife.” Mrs. Carrie Mentell of San Leandro, who has known Mrs. Schaeffer for four weeks, created quite a sensation by her eloquent defense of women in general and M Schaeffer in particular. She told the court that all the procedure being held was highly improper and assured Judge Ogden that if he knew Mrs. Schaeffer as well she did he would share her (the witness) opinion. Mrs, Mentell, when asked to confine hersel to matters before the court, d @ better excuse her objected to her testimony and so ‘“riled” that she could not do any better. Josie Hurt, the eldest of the three girls, told the story of how carefully her x}x‘mlhvr cared for the children and of how lieve her mother was a bad woman. She that her father had told her he uld kill Schaeffer if he ever came s him.

The second hus- band's crime is not to be considered, for he was pardoned and restored to full cit- izenship.

G. Rudolph Robbed Theodore Geir | OAKLAND, July 11—Officer Jack Scan- lan arrested Herry G. Rudolph, a printer, at Seventh and Webster streets to-day on a charge of burglary. He was accused | of the theft of a sack of coin containing | §76 from Theodore Gler’s store a few days ago. When faced by Detectives Hol- land and Quigley, he admitted the charge | and returned the sack and §5 30. Rudolph | was familiar with Gier’s place of busi- ness, and often hung around there. The police were satistied that the crime was committed by some one who knew the lace. To the oficers Rudolph stated that e had seen the sack hid, and becoming tired of living on 5-cent meals, he could not resist the temptation of taking it and living high. He lived in luxury for three | or four days, when he took too much liquor and a friend relieved him of $do. He will appear in the Police Court in the morning. | Antone Smith Accused of Robbery. OAKLAND, July 1l.—Jacob Weil, the free market butcher who has been in the | Police Court numerous times for violating the city ordinances, to-day told Captain Fletcher of the police force a tale of al- | leged robbery to which he was subjected | yesterd: He asserts that he went out {in the the Fish Ranch yester- day to some calves.

SUPERVISORS DECLINE THE RAILROAD’S OFFER| WILL NOT ACCEPT THE USE OF ALICE STREET BRIDGE. Traffic Will Be Seriously Disturbed ‘While the New Bridge Is Build- ing at Webster Street. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, %8 Broadway, July 11. The Southern Pacific Company sent a communication to the Supervisors to-day offeri to the &ounty the use of the Alice-street bridge as a means of com- m between “Oakland and- Ala- 1l such time, as the new county 1l be built at Webster street. isors refused the offer. oad company has almost com- pleted its arrangements for transferring the Alice-street steam travel and the Webster-street steam travel from these two bridges to its mew bridge at Harrl- on_street. Under the old system, the railroad ‘used a large part of the county bridge at Webster street and had a bridge of its own at Alice street. Their Harrison- street bridge, which is now being finished, will accommodate all thelr travel, and they must within a certain time entirely remove the discarded Allce-street struc- ture. The communication from Chief En- gineer Curtis to the Supervisors states that after the tracks are taken from the Alice-street bridge. and while the old Webster-street bridge is being pulled down and the new one built, the public could use the discarded bridge if - the Supervisors desired. It was learned that in order to make the Alice-street bridge fit for teaming, after the tracks were torn up, about $2000' would have to be spent, and’ consequently the offer was declined by the votes of Roeth, Talcott and Wells. = Messrs. Church and Mitchell favored the acceptance of the offer, stating that it would be & sreat con veniénce to both towns while the bridge is in_course of construction, Nothing is known at present of the future of Webster-street bridge. Aul the plans, petitions and protests have be forwarded to the War Department.ba:g as Secretary Alger is supposed to be very busy at this time, Alameda County's bridge is not likely to be considered as an urgent necessity.

Regent Hallidie has had in charge the selection of a superintendent for the new Wilmerding School, and it is expected that he will hand in his report 10-mOorrow. MUST PRODUCE A LAST WILL. Judge Greene Believes Mrs. Bridget Muldoon Responsible for Its ‘Whereabouts. OAKLAND, July 11.—Mrs. Bridget Mul- doon, one of the devisees under the will of the late Mary Sweeney, which has been missing since the day before the maker’'s death, was ordered by Judge Greene to produce the document. He did this after the examination of Elijah Foster, one of the executors of the will, Mrs. Muldoon, and Nora Johnson, her sister. Mrs. Mul- doon's son also receives several small Jegacies and a one-third interest in the estate for her support. This led the Judge to suspect that she was making an ef- fort to secure the entire control of thar portion. “You will produce that will in next Monday, madam,"” in his sonorous tones. “But 1 cannot do 80,” announced Mrs. Muldoon in an injured tone. “Well, madam, you have heard the in. struction of the_court, and you will have the will here at that time,” replied the court as he turned to the next case, —_——————— The Hawaiian Commission. ‘When the Hawalian Commission arrives in this city the members are likely to be the guests of the Chamber of Commerce for a day at least.

BERKELEY CITED AS EXAMPLE OAKLAND COUNCIL WOULD RE- DUCE SALOON LICENSES. Says the War Tax Is a Burden on Everything They Sell and They Should Be Relieved. OAKLAND, July 11L—There were two little surprises at the meeting of the City Council to-night. Councilman Henne- | berry submitted an ordinance providing for the suppression of the sale o cigar- ettes. Tho ordinance says: It is hereby declared unlawful for any per- | son in the city of Oakland to sell, offer for sale | o, give away any cigarette or cigarettes, No person shall permit any cizarettes to be 0ld in any place owned, by him, It is hereby declared unlawful for any minor to smoke any cigarette in any railway car, street, square, public building or place in the city of Oakland. The ordinance is to take effect, if passed, on and after October 1. It was referre to the ordinance committee. Councilman Henneberry's second surprise was an ordinance providing for the reduc- tion of the liquor license from $100 to $50 a quarter. In explanation of his ordin- ance, Mr. Henneberry sald: “The war tax has laid a heavy burden on liquor dealers. It has required them to pay taxes on everything they sell, and it is but equita- blie that they should be shown some con- sideration. Just across the line, in Berke- ley, the license has been reduced to $50 per quarter, and it is but right, in my opinion, that we should do the same.” The ordinance went to the committee. The Council appropriated $75 to-night to pay for a national flag for the Eighth | Regiment at Camp Barrett. | The new Davie Freight Ferry Company applied to the Council to construct a freight shed at Franklin-street wharf. The protest of property owners against | the remacadamizing of Webster street ‘was sustained. The annual report of the Free Library was presented to the Council. It concludes: “In regard to the needs of the library there is one that is ever present and in | sistent, and we can but reiterate the state- ment made last year that the library has leased or occupled | almost reached the limit of its usefulness | till & more suitable building is provided The present building, erected thirty years ago, did well enough for the Oakland of 1368, but is hardly consonant with the dig- nity of the greater Oakland of 1898.” Next Friday night the Council will meet | as a committee of the whole to take up | the matter of Cemetery Creek. 'DEMING SURPRISES A : PHILADELPHIA CROWD \' AN OAKLAND CRANK COMMANDS THE ATTENTION OF ALL. | i Tells of His Peculiar Mission, Which | Is to Advocate a Complete Anglo-Saxon Alliance. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, i 908 Broadway, July 1L | Arthur Buel Deming of this city has just created a sensation in Philadelphia. On the 4th of July, at the conclusion of Senator Edmunds’ speech at Independ- | ence Hall, a patriarchal man of com- | manding presence arose from the front row, and, with a gesture, bade the audi- | ence listen to him. | The chairman and others who had fought in the sccond war with Great Eritaln were too much surprised to re- monstrate. “Sons of the Revolution,” said Deming, “I have come all the way from California to speak to you. My mis- sion is to proclaim the alliance of the | Anglo-Saxon races. That alliance is sure | to come. My mission is to promote and | perfect the amity of ourrace in the bonds of peace. Such an alliance is absolutely necessary for business, society and re- | ligion. | _After he had left the platform and been | cheered by the audience, the speaker sald he was A. B. Deming of Oakland, Cal. | He said to a reporter: “A man is greatly | impressed by his waking thoughts. I was | awakened at 4 o'clock on December 20, 1897, by the idea of an Anglo-American race. I formulated a proclamation and mailed a copy of it to Queen Victoria. Shae got it, I know, and Chamberlain’s recent eech was the result. I suggested to ctoria that she should get herself car- | tooned, and if you notice lately, her pict- | ure has been appearing with that of Un- cle Sam, their arms entwin®d about each other. Yes, Victoria i{s running the end over there and I am struggling along the best I can with this end of the business. But it will succeed.” A. B. Deming is well known in Oak- lana as an earnest religionist. He is the | inventor of a pecullar preparation of charcoal for rheumatism, and hag been a familiar figure for years. He is™an in- telligent, well-educated man of good ad- dress. —_——e———— Sergeant Hughes Weds Miss Miller. OAKLAND, July 1l.—Sergeant Thomas B. Hughes of the Fourth "Cavalry, sta- tioned at the Presidio, San Francisco, called at the County Clerk’s office to- night and secured a’license to wed Miss Rossina_Edna Miller. ~She accompanied him, and_they immediately repaired to stice Clift's court, where they were married. He is a pative of Florida, aged 31, while the bride was born in this' State eight years ago. DBoth are resi- dents of San Francisco. Private Alexander Goodman of the First Montana - Infantry, now at Camp Merritt, and Miss Alice Wilcox were unit- cd in matrimony at the same time. They had intended béing married yesterday af- ternoon by Rev. R. Ritchie, but the cere- mony was postponed until to-day. An- other soldler, a private, when he saw the two married, wanted Judge Clift to per- form the ceremony for him, but having failed to secure a license, the Judge had to refuse. The six then went away to- gether. —_—————— THE WOODBRIDGE CANAL. A Higher Bid for the Property by the Receiver, E. C. Chapman. The sale for §11,000 of the Woodbridge canal property, which has been the sub- ject of so much litigation lately, came up before Judge Morrow yesterday morning for affirmation. W. C. Chapman, receiver of the property, through his counsel, Judge Fox, made a conditional bid of $23,000, with the understanding that the property be sold to him subgect to all costs incurred by the receiver, which amount to $35,000. The contention was made by parties rep- resented by Attorney Cannon that the?r claims, amounting to about $5000, be de- creed by the court to be preferred over the bonded indebtedness, as they repre- sented money owed by the defendant cor- ration. The whole matter was referred ack to Commissioner Heacock, who will hear it next Monday at 11 o’clock. ———————— A Trick of Peddlers. J. L. Aiken, 1188 Noe street, swore to a complaint in Judge Mogan’s court yester- day for the arrest of Nick Wyley and “John Doe” Lyons, peddlers, on a charge of petty larceny. He alleged that his wife, last Tuesday purchased 85 cents’ worth of articles from Wyley and Lyons and gave them a gold plece to get changed. They forgot to return with the change.

MABEN SPRINGS A SURPRISE GREEN PACER LOLITA STEPS THREE CLIPPING HEATS. President Knight’s Mare Silver Queen Easily Defeats the Soft- Hearted Favor—Turf Notes. The racing at Oakland yesterday was gilt-edged and during the afternoon Jim- my Sulllvan made a little turf history with Colonel Henshaw's beautiful black mare, Mamie Griffin. by lowering all trotting records over the course to 2:12. Mamie can surely touch 2:10, and her mile was a splendid one and entirely within herself. Every one regretted the absence of the genial sportsman who owns her, for he would have received an ovation most surely. To beat Toggles and Clay S, two sup- posedly formidable opponents, was in- deed a performance ‘“‘Oregon Jimmy' can view with eminent satisfaction. Then, too, the rating was to perfection. The | quarter 33 seconds—just a 2:12 galt—half in 1:06%, at the three-quarters it was a 2:10 clip, showing that the contest was not a hollow one. Mamie’s old record was 2:12%. In the books she was 2 to 1 and Toggles, her chief competltor, a 1 to 2 shot. Still anether surprise was the defeat of Resort by the green mare Lolita, by Sidney, from Walter Maben’s stable, and driven by Brooks. The mare never saw a crowd till yesterday, cost her owner Just $35 at auction and in her initial heat was close second in 2:16, coming from the rear brigade at the half-mile ground. She went her mile, too, with a tire “down.” Resort wa$ all out and seemed about done, while the black mare was fresh as a daisy. Early betting favored Resort, but Lolita was 4 to 5 for the sec- ond heat; Resort at evens. ‘Lhe story is soon told, as Lolita, with- out a skip, closed it out in 2:17, 2:1815, Gaff Topsail and Harry Ramon being the chief contenders. Resort quit like a dog in the stretch. The Los Angeles contin- gent played Lolita for quite a nice win- | ning, she having stepped work-outs hand- ily in 2:17%, and being exceedingly level- headed. Gaff Topstall went a grand race, and in the hopples races far steadier than otherwise. He is a four-year-old and with age will be quite a pacer. Silver Queen 2:21, trotting from nowhere and beating Favor where they pay off. She can beat 2:20 her next race, sure.

Among the starters are some new to the game, which have been stepping the track in Grand Circuit style of late. The book- makers lost considerable money, as at the quotations the favorites are played hard, but then their day always comes, and to- day’s winners look to be uncertain and the “wise” money is very apt to get a tum- ble. The starting is the best ever wit- nessed in California, and patrons are ce tain to make the 5:30 boat yet see a great deal of racing. It ghould be remembered that Iadies are cordially invited to become the guests of the assoclation and will enjoy the enliven- ing scenes beyond a doubt. Summaries: FIRST RACE.

The Supreme Court has upheld the de- cision of the lower court in the contested will case of Anna Taylor. The action and appeal were not based upon the usual grounds of fraud or that the deceased was of unsound mind and did not comprehend what she did when making the will, but that the execution of the will was not sufficlently proved. The document was made over twelve years ago, and one of the witnesses, named Heard, only remem- bered that he was present when the sev- eral signatures were affixed, many of the incidents having slipped from his mind. The higher court decided that the failure of one witness to remember all that took place on a certain occasion was not sufficient to invalidate the will. —_———— Postoffice Telephones.
