OAKLAND, July 13.—George W. Baker, who resigned as chairman of the State Silver Republican Committee at Sacra- mento yesterday afternoon, returned home last night, but went back to the scene of strife at the capital this afternoon. “My reasons for resigning from the | chairmanship of the Silver Republican Committee are ful t forth in my letter to the committee,” sald Baker to-day. The committee's headquarters are in Los Angeles, and in order to attend to the duties of chairman it requires fre- quent visits to that city, which my busi- Attorne gemen' not permit, and ce, in order to ance tl erest, and labors of the committee, I 1sidered t advisable that a chairman ould be elected who was on the ground and who would give the matter his personal atten- tion during the campaigr “There were some diff; as to the proper course for the committee to pursue, but these were mere matters of and did not enter into consideration 1 the resignation was made.

This, in my judgment, the only sensible view to take of the matter, and was the only matter upon which I dissented from the views of the other members of the Silver Republican Committee. I am now and have ever been and will always remain an uncompromis- ing advocate of the principles of bimetal- lism and in favor of any honorable means to promote its success, and to that end will use my best exertions in support of men and measures to accomplish that result.” e An Objectionable Ordinance. ALAMEDA, July 13.—The new wagon ordinance went into effect to-day, and its enforcement by the police raised a storm of protests from those affected. Under ts terms express wagons are not allowed to stand on street corners waiting for customers, but must Keep on the move. On the other hand, store dealers’ wagons may stand in front of such establish- aind so may the vehicles used by real estate dealers. This, the expressmen . is an unjust discrimination. Con- 1ently they have combined, will retain el and will fight the ordinance on | ground of speclal legislation. Red Cross Work. AL.MEDA, July 13—Mrs. M. F. Mc- Gurn, treasurer of the Alameda branch of the Red Cross Society, has made a re- | port of the work done so far by the or- ganization. The total amount of money collected to date is $140917. Of this| $55% 07 has been expended in various ways | for the benefits of the troops, leaving $851 10 on hand. The expenses cover a wide range, from flannel bandages to meals and lodgings for members of the local | company who came from other towns | and had to be provided for. Mess Tent for Company G. | ALAMEDA, July 13.—One of the few | companies at Camp Barrett which has been without a mess tent up to to-day Is ! Company G. This was remedied to-day, when a committee of ladies from the Red s went out to camp and presented the boys with a fine tent, capable of seating eighty-f.ve men. After the pres- entation the men were treated to fic cream, cake and coffee by a committee of ladies 'outside the Red Cross. At the con- clusion a few speeches -were. made, and the boys gave three cheers for their | friends. | City Trustees and the Bridge Matter. | + ALAMEDA, July 13.—The City Trustees will hold a special meeting this evening for the purpose of discussing the matter | of using the Alice-street bridge while the | Webster-street structure is being rebuilt. The sentiment here Is practically unani- | mous avor of such use, and delegates will be appointed by the Trustees to confer | with Oakland representatives with the | view of having the bridge so used. It is estim hat it can be put in shape for | $1000 so wuat It can be used by teams for 5 1l months. | Alameda News Items. ;’ ALAMEDA, July 13.—A warrant has| been issued for the arrest of John Miller, a dairyman, for battery upon the chil- dren of Antone Francis.

Law Libraries Assessed at Small Figures Are Interesting Mr. Church—Disclosures Are Promised. Oakland Office San Francisco Call. | %8 Broadway, July 13. The Board of Supervisors sitting as a Board of Equalization took occasion this | morning to correct an impression created in an evening paper last night, which was evidently Intended to bolster up the af. fairs of the County Assessor. W. G Hawkett was busy vesterday taking off | descriptions of the water front property The purpose was to ascertain just how much property of the water front com- pany has escaped assessment for the past | three jears that is on the roll at this time. The Call, this morning, stated the facts in connection with the case, which are that the Supervisors wish to recover fer the county as much of the lost taxes possible. Supervisor Talcott stated the situation this morning as follo “I desire to say at this time that it was under my per- sonal order, as chairman of this board, | that Mr. Hawkett was taking off the rélls the description of the water front | property. When it was announced that $600,000 worth of property had been put on the rolls that has been left off for the previous three vears I was anxious to see where it was located. I belleved it was my duty to do so. If, heretofore, any property has been left off the assessment, we are entitled to know it and I think | the county is entitled to the benefit. That Is my reason for wanting those descrip- tlons. If the board has any objection I would llke to_hear it.” Supervisor Roeth sald that he was sor- ry the matter had been misrepresented, as the Supervisors had only acted with- in their rights.

WOULD PE BUT TEMPORARY BOARD OF HEALTH DECLARES A ROAD A NECESSITY. Without Alice Street Bridge Oakland and Alameda Could Not Keep Up Their Busineas Relations. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, July 13. The fear of Alameda that it 1 be cut off from communication with Oakland un- til the new Webster street bridge be built is being shared by people on this side of the estuary. A special meeting of the Board of Trade was held this morn- ing to conmsider the matter. A resolution was adopted urging the Supervisors to ac- cept the offer of the Southern Pacific | Company to use Alice street bridge as a public thoroughfare after the railroad has transferred its tracks to its new Harrison street bridge. Director James P. Taylor stated that if Alice street bridge be not made available | for teams it would be a serious incon- venience for people in both citles to have to drive around by way of Park street. All business between Oakland and Ala- meda would be handicapped. And as the work of construction on the new Webster street bridge will probably ‘occupy six months, Mr. Taylor argued that the ques tion is a very serious one. He belleved the Supervisors should accept the rail- road's offer and should put the Alice in condition for use. He stated that by actual count between 300 and 450 teams crossed Webster street bridge daily besides many other vehicles and hundreds of pedestrians and cyclists. Edson Adams objected strongly to being fenced in. He said the bridge at Alice street should be removed at once, as it would block the harbor and interfere with shipping. It would add to the long line of obstructions and spoil 730 feet in the middle of the estuary for shipping If the city expended an amount of money on the improvement of the Alice street bridge, the Government would prob- ably order the structure moved. With the removal of the bridge a wharf could Be built of which the harbor stands badly in need. Mr. Adams sald if the city was going to expend money on the construc- tion of a thoroughfare it should be in a permanent place. All damage to naviga- tion a hindrance to the development of the cit The building of so many bridges in the estuary was practically putting a fence around shipping interests and the tax-payers should put a stop to it.

Sixteen of the ninete members appeared in his court and wefe | prepared to present a report. The court declared that it could not deal with a por- tion of the grand jury, especially in ac- cepting a report which might contain an indictment, and stated that when the grand jury was ready in a complete body it would receive the report.

The field sold at 5 to a like price for the favorite and Andy Welch's old motto, *always play | field in a pacing race,” looked to be com- mon-sense logic once again. In the green pacing class the talent fell | heavily again, as Lolita, easily winner on Monday over Resort, was unsteady, | and distanced in the opening heat, she | being at even money and having quite a | play in the auctions at 5 to 6 for the lot. Resort won easily in 2:17%, nothing able to make him stop sufficiently to lose, although he was backing up decidedly each trip. Durfee's iittle mare, Lady Margaret, was second and Harry Ra- mon third. Owens was asked to let Dick Havey ride the last' heat behind Harry Ramon, but the suspect was too unsteady to avall, and so it goes. Undoubtedly he has been monkeyed with heretofore and | been racing under cover. ‘Billy’” Johnson won with the big chest- | nut horse Melvar in the fourth race, and all were pleased at the result.

There is no doubt that hundreds of commercial bodies and pri- vate citizens would gladly provide the emblem of liberty if for a moment they thought it would be the first to be hoisted over the islands. The present officials at the islands have some little choice in the matter themselves and In all the first flag that will be unfurled wiil be one that has been over the capital of the islands before. When the revolution that placed Hawali among the republics of the earth took | betting throughout was favorable to those | place, and the native queen and her fol- lowers were removed as ruling powers, the marines from the United States cruiser Boston who went ashore to pro- tect the interests of the Americans car- ried a large flag that was hoisted over the palace of the deposed queen. that flag came down, but it was not de- stroyed or lost.

The Hawalians who left for the islands last evening on the Ala- meda made this announcement to their friends’ just before the vessel sailed.

Accom- panying it was a letter which explains the purpose of the gift.
