Oakland Office San Francisco Call, g %8 Broadway, July 16. Captain Willlam 8. Barnes of the Peta- luma Regulars and District Attorney of San Francisco, has been restored to the | pedestal of gallantry upon which he stood | prior to the Fourth of July. He has made the amend honorable and has anoiogized for h_ls apparent slight to Oakland and especially to the lady on the committee | whom he promised that he would appear | | and make a specch. | It was not Captain Barnes' fault at all. As a soldier and a gentleman he promised to speak, and had prepared one of his | usual able speeches. He did not fall | | asleep and forget to wake up in time to appear at the Macdonough Theater. He did not intend to disappoint -Alameda County, although two or three days prior | to the Fourth he did change his mind | about making a speech and decided that he had better keep silent on such an oc- | casion as the Fourth of July. | It was all the fault of a Mr. Dunne. | So says Captain Barnes. Mr. Dunne is the Petaluma captain’s private secretary, and | when Captain Barnes changed mind | about the speech that he was t: eliver in the Macdonough Theater he told Mr. | Dunne to notify the lady of his intention | not to speak in plenty of time to permit | the committee to procure another orator. | This is the letter that never came and | | which caused Captain Barnes to be cen- | sgured by the committee and which in-| duced it to send him a very tart letter de- | manding either an explanation or apology | or_both. s Mollie Connors, the petite chair- | man of the entertainment committee, was visited by the portly captain of the Peta- | luma company in response to the com- | mittee's letter. He informed Miss Con- nors that ne meant no disrespect to the city of Oakland, and most aecidedly did | he ‘mean no disrespect to a laay. He re- gretted the incident and impressed Miss Connors with his sincerity, so the captain s pardoned and the eved lady was mollified, and the iIncident closed, Mr. Dunne not having yet been heard from. Captain Barnes is now shy of Oakland latforms. An effort was made to obtain | his presence for the purpose of a speech at the meeting of the Young Men’s Re- | publican League last night. William Nat | Friend, the treasurer of the league, went out to the camp at 9 o'clock in the morn- ing, and last night he told the league of his non-success. “I__went out to the camp,” said Secretary Friend, “and asked to see Captain Barnes. 9 o'clock e morning. I sent in my card with a e notification of what I desired, and back that the lines would | be opened for the reception of visitors at 4 p. m. I looked among the tents and saw a large person that resembled a tor- | pedo busy around the Petaluma company. Not being able to approach any nearer | | the orator-soldier because of a few bayo- nets that were between us, I decided not to wait the seven hours, and consequentiy (‘_&;g&.\gp Barnes {8 not addressing you to- | night. | MAY REMOVE THE ] a l CITY ENGINEER CLEMENT IS SEEKING SATISFACTION. | Dow Is Ready and the Mayor’s Soxrt May Soon Be Decapitated | After the Vacation. Oakland Office San Franecisco Call, | %8 Broadway, July 16. | City Attorney Dow is away on his vaca- | tion, and when he returns it is probable | that the political wheel at the City Hall may take another turn. A few months ago, when changes were made in the po- lice and fire departments it was under- | stood that the programme was mnot fully carried out. In the distribution of the pa- tronage City Engineer Clement, the D(-m»I ocratic member of the been Su board, was to have | iven the privilege of naming a new | erintendent of Streets. his change was not made, and, conse- ently, although Clement voted with the | r to plit in two Reémbllc&ns and Rut» two Populists, the City Engineer has | yet not been able to place his friend Melvin Holmes, a Democrat, at the head | of the street department. Mayor Thomas has never shown a willingness to join | Clement in making a change of street su- perintendents. Just when the programme was about to be carried out, the Mer- chants’ Exchange and the Board. of | Trade made a very pronounced kick | against changing the head of the street department for purely political motives. They issued a statement setting forth that Street Superintendent Miller is a very capable officer and is doing good work on the streets of this city, and protesting against his removal. s Mayor Thomas at that time had troubles enough of his | own, the protest of the commercial bodies had great weight and Mr. Clement’s man was shelved, Recently Mr. Clement has been chafing | under his Inability to have his way and | he has now thrown out a hint that when | | Mr. Dow returns the combination will be | | Clement and Dow and not Clement and Thomas. The new combination, however, will not produce much materfai improve- ment in Mr. Holmes’ position, for it is not likely that Mr. Dow will vote to dismiss | Mr. Miller. “Clement, however, will derive | atisfaction, so it is stated, by voting| | with Mr. Dow to dismiss the Mayor's son, | | Harry Thomas, from his position as sec- | retaray of the Board of Works. He will | have no difficulty in_doing this, for Mr. | Dow has never voted for Harry Thomas | and has frequently intimated that he | would be pleased to vote for his successor. Mr. Dow is expected back some time next week, and his arrival is being awalt- | ed with great interest by the politicians. Lady Solicitors in Trouble. OAKLAND, July 16— Reports have reached the Chief of Police that two young women from Oakland were sollcit- ing funds for the Home of Love for Chil- dren In this city and were misbehaving themselves. Mrs. W. W. Ayer, who {8 at the head | of the home, said to-day that the ladies who were soliciting funds for the home are certainly not those referred to, and | she is certaln there has been a_mistake made In connecting them with the home. The Home of Love ladies returned to Oakland to-day and positively deny that they are the women of whom complaint has been made. Pension for Mrs. Flaherty. OAKLAND, July 16—Mrs. Mary Fla- herty, who is prosecuting Conrad Thaler for assault and battery, announces .that | she has recelved word that her claim for | $2000 and $24 per month pension has been allowed. She says her husb&®nd, who died six years ago, was an officer in the reg- ular army and was wounded in an Indian campaign in 1860. He recovered, but was never fls former self afterward.

USES = STRONG LANGUAGE HINTS AT PERJURY AND SAYS THINGS ARE CROOKED. Sanborn, Who Is Superintendent of a Sunday-School, Takes Issue With the Court and Will Appeal. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, July 16. Judge Greene decided this afternoon against the Sanborns in the contest over the possession of recipes between di- rectors of the California Pure Food Com- pany. Four years ago Mr. Sanborn and his son claimed to own recipes for the manufacture of pure food, valued at $50,- 000. They had no capital but organized |2 company with themselves and Messrs. Hayne, Spencer and Griffiths of San Francisco on the board of directors. The Sanborns declined to give their recipes to the company, and according to the contract between them and the company the papers were to be held in escrow and used solely for the company’s benefit. The younger Sanborn was put in charge of the manufactory, but the other three directors gradually acquired control of the stock and put one of their friends in charge of the works. At the same time the three directors attempted to secure possession of the recipes, which were in escrow In 8an Francisco. As soon as the Sanborns heard of this they raced across the recipes and brought them to Oakland, placing them in the care of Mayor Thomas. Suit was begun by the other directors, and after a lengthy trial was decided this afternoon. Judge Greene scored the San- borns and stated that they had been guil- ty of perjury and underhanded conduct, and further said he did not believe their story that they had lost the duplicate co\\ies of the recipes, but that they were hiding them for thelr own benefit. He or- dered the papers turned over to the three directors at once. The younger Mr. Sanborn is highly in- censed at Judge Greene's remarks. “I have been superintendent of a Sun- day-school for several years in this city and have alway$® stood very high in the community,” sald Mr. Sanborn. ‘“Judge Greene had no right to draw such infer- ences from the testimony. He called us perjurers and sald we were trying to de- | ceive the directors, when, as a matter of fact, we really have lost the book con- taining duplicafe copies of the valuable recipes. wrong."" LAKE MERRITT TO BE PURGED. Its Unsanitary Condition Brought Forcibly to the Council’s Attention. OAKLAND, July 16.—The Lake Merritt Sanitary Improvement Club made {ts first public appearance last committee of the whole of the City Coun- cil. Captain Edwin Goodall, its presi- dent, explained the club's existence with a few words, saying that ‘‘until recently we supposed no one sewered into Lake Merritt.” Continuing he said: “When we found that between 600 and 700 people had sewers emptying into Cem- etery Creek we became very much alarmed and decided to organize to put a | stop to it. I think it is generally admitted that the sewering iInto Lake Merritt should be discontinued. We are very anxious that you give us the support to stop this. In addition we want to dredge the lake. It is an open cesspool as it is at Ené) found to be in a filthy. condition. understand the enforcement of the law will stop the sewage that i{s coming into the lake. We especially ask you to make some appropriation for the dredging of the lake, for, as I said, it is a cesspcol and a mudhole. We come to you for re- lief on sanitary lines and that alone. We have gathered data that will give you full information In regard to the sewage which goes into Lake Merritt. Ira Bishop followed with an enuncia- tion of all the tributaries leading into | the main pipe, which empties into Lake Merritt. ““These aggregate 14.7 miles,” declared the speaker, “and the refuse and filth from all this line empties right out of one box within a block of Lake Merritt proper. After the tide recedes one or two feet the ground is left bare, and from this time to the time the water returns the deposit forced from this fif- teen miles of sewer is left upon the faud and the incoming tide carries it out with t. Indeed, when I heard Captain Goodall call that lake a cesspool I could hardly think that any other name was proper.” The committee recommended that the Council take the matter up at once. They. appointed Councilmen Heitman, Brosna- han and Cuvellier to confer with the City Engineer and City Attorney regarding plans, ete. More Assessments Reduced. OAKLAND, July 16.—The \ ounty Board of Equalization met to-day and transact- ed the following business: Haywards elec- tric road was granted reductions as fol- lows: Cars from $36,500 to $29,150; machin- ery from $17,500 to $13,500; franchise, $20,- 000 to $13,500. Other sections of the fran- chise were reduced from $2:00 to $430; 3500 to $250; $29,000 to $10,000; $5000 to 3 $1000 to $100. Switches and tracks, $ to $2500. Small pieces of franchise were also re- duced about 50 per cent. Oakland Gas, sight and Heat Company was reduced from $14,00 to on cer- tain improvements and pipe lines which had been through an error assessed twice. The assessment on 38 acres of water front property was reduced from $221,500 to $171.000. ome reductions were also granted on the Southern Pacific's street raiiroads in this city. Oakland News Items. OAKLAND, July 16.—S. B. McLenegan was formally elected secretary of the Oak- land, San Leandro and Haywards Elec- Rallway Company this afternoon, vice A. L. Stone, resigned. Griffith M. Roberts, for twenty vears an employe of the Southern Pacific Com- pany, died at his home, 970 East Twenty- second street, last night. He was a na- tive of Wales, 62 years of age; a Mason, 04d Fellow. Workman and member of the Mutual Benefit Association. Judge Greene has granted a writ of ha- beas corpus to Julia Crucellar for pos- seesion of the three-year-old child of Ar- mand and Jane Rouen. They refused to give up the child, and were exceedingly angry with the Judge when his order was made known to them. Fred Madsen was convicted of stealing a pure Scotch collie from Mrs. P. M. Cox to-day in the Police Court. He sold the animal to John Miller for $1. Detective Shorey narrowly escaped being bitten by the dog when he went to Miller's for it. —_——— LINCOLN AVENUE OPENED. Again Is That Thoroughfare Thrown Open for the Use of the Public. ALAMEDA, July 16.—Street Superin- tendent Frodden took the first blow at the fence across Lincoln avenue this aft- ernoon, and the Street Department em- ployes did the rest that was necessary to open that street once more to the pub- lic. The Lincoln avenue Commissioners met this morning and drew a warrant for $3170, that being the amount of damage asseéssed by. Judge Greene for the city to pay the Cohens for opening the street through their property. This amount was evening at the | resent.

Thereupon Judge Greene signed the writ of condemnation and issued a writ of assistance directed to the Sheriff ordering him to deliver the property to the authorities of Alameda. Accompanied by the Street Superintend- ent, Attorney Wright and others the Deputy Sherlff, to whom the writ was given, went to the scene. Without more ado, after the formal notification, Super- intendent Frodden began operations on the high-board fence, and his men soon had it down and the street again opened. Should the obnoxious fence be replaced those responsible for its construction will, it is said, render themselves liable to instant arrest. - —_—————————— THE BRIDGE MUDDLE. Alameda Peopgin a Quandary as to What Is Best to Be Done. ALAMEDA, July 16.—Notwithstanding the fact that the City Trustees last even- ing passed a resolution expressing their willingness to pay the expense of con- structing the approaches to the Alice- streét bridge so that structure can be used for traffic while the Webster-street bridge is being rebuilt, there is little prob- ability that the work will be done at the public expense. The difficulty is that fully three-fourths of the expense will have to be incurred on the Alameda side of the estuary, while the cost of putting the ap- proaches into shape on the Oakland side will be merely nominal. The benefit of the bridge is in inverse ratio, Oakland profiting by it to a far greater extent than Alameda. It is expected to cost some $1500 or $1800 to put in the approach on this side, and this amount the trustees do not feel authorized to expend. The opinion prevails that Oakland ought at least to ay half the cost, and if the city cannot egally do so, then the merchants most benefited ought to contribute. But it can be depended upon that this city will not stand the full expense. Rather will it get along without any bridge and send its traflic around \3’ Twenty-third avenue and East Oakland. Saved From Drowning. ALAMEDA, July 16—Two lads, Louis Wehmuth and Carleton Moulthrop, saved a man from drowning in the estuary last evening. They were out rowing when they saw a skiff adrift with two_ fright- ened children in it, while some distance off was a man swimming toward the boat and apparently nearly exhausted. They went to his aid, and with a rope managed to get him out of the water just as he was sinking. He was taken to shore with the skiff and the children, but refused to give his name, and nis identity was not learned. Library Report. ALAMEDA, July 16.—The annual report of Librarian Weller has been prepared.. It shows a prosperous condition of the insti- tution. The expenses for the year were $6518 80 and the receipts $9248 89, leaving a balance of $273019. There is a discrep- aney in the accounts of $25508, being money drawn on forged warrants by the former llbrarian. There were added 1913 books to the library while 12156 more books were taken out by patrons than in the preceding vear. The total number of books withdrawn was 138,150, of which fiction constituted 56.4 per cent, juvenile per cent and miscellaneous 27.4 per Alameda News Items.

When the Board of Regents of the Uni- versity of California meets next time it will discuss the matter of bringing the college of medicine under control of the regents, and of incorporating it as an in- tegral part of the university. The matter has been under advisement for some time, and there is a division among. the mem- bers of the board as to its advisability. The executive committee of the Berke- ley branch of the Red Cross Soclety met last night at the residence of Mrs. C. R. Greenleaf, on Bancroft way. Owing to a small attendance business was left over till the next meeting, the members pres- ent discussing informally plans for soli- citing more funds. The California and Nevada Railway | Company has rebullt the bridge over Car- | donicos Creek, recently destroyed by fire, | and the road is now in running order again. i STAMP TAX DECISIONS. Patent Medicines Must Be Stamped at the Price Advertised by Manufacturers. A number of very interesting decisions on the new stamp tax law were recelved at the Custom House from the Treasury Department Friday. One of the most important, is that relating to the so-called “cut rate” drug stores, which sell an ar- ticle slightly below the price advertised by the manufacturer. All the articles taxable under schedule B, which were within the hands of the retailer on July 1, must, when sold, be stamped according to the retail price fixed by the manufac- turer. All artificial mineral waters, if ad- vertised as having_ medicinal qualities, must be stamped. Hop ale is also liable to tax as a fermented liquor, while gin- ger ale Is free. The stamping of outside cases in lleu of separate packets is not allowed, although stamps may be affixed in this way before the shipment of arti- cles abroad. Tobacco and snuff held In stock by the manufacturer on and after June 14, whether stamped or unstampea, if intended for sale, is subject to tax at the rate of 12 cents per pound. ‘Where a check drawn subsequent to July 1 is presented at a bank without the requisite stamp, the bank, if it pays, be- comes liable to the penalty. It may, how- ever, affix the stamp and charge the amount to the drawer or drawee. No stamp is required for the withdrawal of money from savings banks by depositors on pass-books, and the 3 per cent loan is also exempt from taxation. Stamps issued under the Internal Revenue laws now re- pealed, cannot be used for the new tax, and no discount will be allowed on im« printed stamps or checks. —_———— ONE MORE SCHOOL WANTED. West of Castro Street Has Troubles of Its Own on Hand. Families residing west of Castro street demand a twelve-class school bullding for the accommodation of the hundreds ot children who, during the past two years, have been deprived of the privilege of attending regularly to their studies. Pax. ents in this valley have been compellea to send some of their children to schcot during the forenoon and some during thw afternoon In order that notwithstandinig the lack of accommodation their children might at least receive a limited educa- tion rather than none at all. For all the children in Noe Valley there are but twe schools; the James Lick on Twenty-fiftn and Noe, and the Noe Primary on Noe and Jersey, both of which are east of Castro, and have children sufficient from that side of the line to fill all the seats without any of those from the west' of Castro. Some few months ago a census of the children of school age was taken in the valleyr when it was found that there were over 500 who had but limitedq accommodation in the school buildings. As a result, the parents were forced to engage private teachers to 've their chiidren }es?on! Br:ételer than have them w up in ignorance. grl?tcw 1t’hey ask that a sufficient appro- riation bé made to erect a twelve-class gulldlng on the west side of Castro street, Before this, however, they would send a gilt edged vote of thanks to the Super- visors if that distinguished body woula ive that part of the city four electric jghts.

IMPROYEMENTS FOR CALIFORNIA RIVERS WING DAMS TO BE PLACED AT NEWTON SHOALS. Commerce Greatly Benefited by Work Done by the Commission of Public Works. The auditing board of the Commission of Public Works held a meeting yester- day afternoon at the Lick House to con- sider the claims that have come in dur- ing the month. There were present in at- tendance Ed E. Leake, the Commissioner on Public Works; M. A. Nurse, chief en- gineer; Major Heuer, Government engi- neer; Chairman H. J. Corcoran of Stock- ton; Captain T. B. Hall of Sacramento, and John Markley of San Francisco. The usual month’s claims were audited and allowed. When the contract was let for the construction of wing dams at Newton Shoals the specifications called for sand in sacks to be used as ballast. The Government engineers recommended rock to be substituted for sand. One of the conditions of the permission granted by the Secretary of War to do this work provides that rock shall be used instead of sand. The Commission of Public Works, Captain Hall and Engineer Nurse were appointed a committee to modity the contracts and make all necessary ar- rangements for the substitution. The approximate estimate of work done on cut-off 6 on the San Joaquin River bg' J. C. Smith amounted to $5343 75. Samuel Henerey sent«n a claim for ease- ment work at Elkhorn welr amounting to $3819 88. The work on the cut-offs will greatly facilitate the navigation on the river. The improvements made will make it possible for steamers to lessen the time of their trip by a half-hour. The steamer H. J. Corcoran will make its first trip from Stockton to this city in the early part of next week. —_—ee——————— REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS. uben H. Lloyd, William $. and Mary B, “&;d to Manning F.
