City Attorney to Take Legal Steps to Compel the Company to Make Desired Improve- ments. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, %8 Broadway, Aug. 9. A question of the greatest importance regarding the condition of streets is to be | brought up at the meeting of the City | Councii next Monday night. The Hay- | wards electric road has expressed its in- | tention not to be forced to pave the por- | tion of the road which it must keep in | order in the same manner as the rest of| the highway, and much bitterness has re- | sulted. For twenty years East Twelfth | | street has been the only thoroughfare be- tween Oakland and East Oakland, and it has been notorious that for over ten years | it has been the worst road in the city. After a long effort a special .appropria- tion of nearly a hundred thousand dollars was made by the City Council to pave the whole of this street with wooden blocks | laid on a deep concrete foundation. The | work has now been almost completed and | the thoroughfare is without doubt one of | the best in the State. a portion of the street ove ¢ Haywards road has a franchiss | company has declined to obey the instructions of the Superintendent of | ts to place blocks between their | tracks and the edge of the pavement lald by_the city. y Attorney Dow has prepared a reso- n which will be acted upon at the _meeting of the Council.

ALAMEDA, Aug. 9.—The chainless bi- cycle which was Stolen some time ago from the residence of R. B. Mitchell in this city has been recgvered in San Jose. A fellow named John Miller was arrested for burglary and in his possession was found a wheel which he had asked per- mission of the officers to send to a cyclery for repairs. This was granted, but the proprietor of the establishment was in ceipt of a card from Chief of Police Rog- ers of this city, giving the number and description of the stolen wheel.

Davis are holding a mass meeting at Linderman Hall this evening, with brass band accompaniments and prominent speakers. The friends of Congressman Hilborn are | making a very active canvass for him in this city, and report encouraging prog- ress. They claim to be confident of car- rying the primaries here. Letters have been received from the El Sueno party, which went from here to St. Michael last fall and wintered there. They were to have left on the 2)th to go up the Yukon. All were well and hopeful. —_— e ——— Five Boys Arrested. \ BERKELEY, Aug. .—Kwong Chung, a laundryman_on the corner of Shattuck avenue and Parker street, has caused the arrest of five boys living in the neighbor- hood.

The Whipping of a Boy Has Resulted in an Organized Fight Against the Trustees—Two Sides of the Question. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Aug. 9. The trouble at the Claremont Schodl has become a pitched battle. Miss Minnie Gerow, the schoolteacher ~who was dropped by the Trustees, has erected a tent under a spreading tree not far from the schoolhouse, and is teaching ail the little ones that are sent to her. At present Miss Gerow teaches nineteen | out of the twenty-six schoolchildren in the | district, while Miss Anna M. Landstrom | presides over a little class of seven in the | public school. There has been no investi- gation of the charges made by Mrs. Gan- naw regarding the whipping of her boy, desire to hold an inquiry the parents of the pupils have taken it upon themselves to settle the matter in their OWn_ Way. They induced Miss Gerow to open a school of her own and promised to support her. She has kad an awning erected under a tree, and teaching is going on as though there were no public school less than a block away. ““Our Iittle school will be a permanent said Miss Gerow to-day. ““We will on be out here until a new housd is built for us. Prominent men of the district have promised us aid. I did not put in my application to be re-elected this year be- cause I did not want to be beaten, and I was advised beforehand that two 'of the three Trustees intended to give the to Miss Landstrom. 1 know Johnny Gan- naw, and I want to say that 1 have had occagion to punish him myself, but I have not found him a particularly vicious boy. The feeling In the district is now not so much opposed to Miss Landstrom as to the fact that Miss Gerow was displaced because of a little political pull exercised In favor of a sister-in-law of one of the | Trustees. Among the children attending achool under the trees are the little ones of Trustee Logan, who is the only sup- | porter in the board of Miss Gerow.

OAKLAND, Aug. 9.—The Bay Confer- ence died to-night with the celebrated C. 0. Brown committee. In its place now exists “The Bay Association of Con- gregational Churches and Ministers.” The change is said to have nothing to do with a desire to change the name that has been_so closely connected with the great scandal, but_because conferences are everywhere giving way to associa- tions.

MAY ABOLISH FEE SYSTEM| THE WILMERDING SCHOOL OF INDUSTRIAL ARTS. Definite Action Will Be Taken in Septembcr Regarding This Institution—New Ap- pointments. The status of the medical department, University of California, was fixed defi- nitely at the meeting of the regents, at the Hopkins Institute of Art yesterday. It was determined that the regents assume full control of the department, such as they exercise over every other branch of work of the great educational institution. Regent Reinstein introduced the mat- ter on the report of a special committee appointed to determine the legal status of the matter. It was shown that the department, although In the past a sep- arate institution, was as much a part of the university as any other. Mr. Rein- stein held that it was best for all con- cerned that such action be taken. The medical faculty has asked that full con- trol be assumed on the ground that the regents are better equipped to direct its workings than is the faculty itself. It was desired to build up that branch of lr}fh:z;:‘lege of medicine is now conduot- ed under the fee system, the ultimate fesult of the action of the regents, ac- cording to those in authority, will be to do away with this. The maintenance of the college will then be rovided for in the appropriation as are the other de- partments. The dedicatory exerclses were postponed until October. It was pur- Doseq originally to hold them next week. A. S. }fnl"dle presented an exhaustive report on trade schools in relation with the W’ilmerdi:g School of Industrial Arts. He has visited all the noted trade and manual training schools in America and secured a fund of information. Consider- ation of the report was postponed to the next meeting, although opposed by E.

Morse, resigned. John A. Roland was appointed reader in Greek. 8. D. Townlee was made instructor in practical astronomy, vice F. M. Sears, re- signed. . T. Crawford resigned as assistant in astronomy to accept a position at Lick Obseryatory. J. Kuno was allowed one-half of Mr. Crawford's salary to act as students’ as- sistant. Frank E. Frey was allowed the remainder and $25 additional as instruc- tor in clvil engineering. This was made necessary by the increased work required of Professor Soule, owing to the absence in Manila of Lieutenant Sydney A. Clo- man. The latter had charge of the mil- itary work at the university. The Lick Observatory committee report- ed the following increase of salarles: W. J. Hussey and R. H. Tucker from $2000 to $2200 per annum, D. Perrine from $& to_$1500. Pablo Sanchez applied for the position of professor in Spanish. The matter de- veloped conslderable discussion. Regent Foote and others held that owing to our trade relations with foreign countries Spanish was the most important of the languages to this coast. The matter was finally left with President Kellogg. Regent Slack presented a resolution of regret and sympathy for the family of Adolph Sutro upon his death. The re- gents spoke feelingly of the aid Mr. Su- tro had extended the university. ENTRIES FOR ASTORIA'S REGATTA CLOSE TO-DAY ALAMEDA AND SOUTH END CREWS WILL RACE. and C. / Dennis, Pape and Other Skiffmen ‘Will Row on the Columbia River. S. J. Pembroke, the member of the re- gatta committee of the Pacific Athletic Association to whom was Intrusted the task of making arrangements for San Francisco oarsmen to take part in the Astorja regatta on the 19th, 20th and 22d of this month, has recelved a telegram from W. L. Robb, the secretary of the regatta, in which the request is made that the boats and as many of the oarsmen as possible be sent to Astoria on the steamer leaving this city on the'13th. The rest of the oarsmen will journey to Astoria on the cars, arriving a day or two before the regatta begins. Possibly a barge crew from the Dolphin club may enter the regatta, but public interest will be centered in the race be- tween the senlor barge crew of the Ala- meda Boat Club and the South End Rac- ing Club's “midgets.” The Alameda four 1s made uj .

Jack Granfield Got a Decision From Billy Otts at the Alpine Club. One of the most interesting eight-round contests held under the auspices of the | Amateur Athletic Club was witnessed last | Monday by a large gathering of fistic| sport lovers at 28 Golden Gate avenue. | To the Alpine Club the credit must be given for a show which pleased the most fastidious of fistic sport lovers. The principals were the aggressive fighter Jack Granfleld, and the clever and game 130-pound boxer Billy Otts. The rising stars in pugilism have met before, and Otts gained a decision, but Granfield was determined to turn the tables on his clever opponent, and for several months he has trained hard with the object in view of meeting Otts and of besting him. The Alpine Club seeing that a great contest was in prospect matched the men, and those who witnessed the bout last evening went away satisfied that they got a good run for their money. tts had the better of his opponent— that is, so far as height and reach . of arms are concerned—but Granfield, a nat- ural-born puncher, made up for the de- ficlency in aggressiveness and ability to stand punishment. The first, second and third rounds of the mill were of the give-and-take order, neither man scoring a lead, but the fourth ended in . Granfleld's favor. The San Francisco Club man fought furiously. He closed up on his opponent and neither man gave way a foot of territory. It was punch, punch, with right and left, until the gong sounded the men to their | respective corners. Granfield played heavily on Otts’ body and winded the | game and clever representative of the Ex- | eelsior Club. Otts fell away after this round and Granfleld scored a strong lead, upper- cutting his opponent at every opportunity | and almost putting Otts out in the eighth | round. It was one of the most exciting | fistic contests of the season, and Referee J. McDevitt is deserving of credit for awarding the fight to Granfleld, notwith- standing the hoots he received from the would-be sports who cannot see but one man in a fight where favoritism is pend- ing. Otts, however, is deserving of great Emlae for the game stand he took under eavy fire. Tom Murphy got a_desicion over Billy Hogan in a_ six-round bout, and Charles Johnson, who punched A. Dahl's face “out of place,” received judgment from Gus Herget, after the men boxed four rounds. The San Francisco Athletic Club will hold its regular monthly exhibition on Wednesday evening at its ciub rooms, 317 Sixth street, The prinelpal events will be two amateur six-round bouts for valuable trophies, ‘“Bud” Terry and F. Maynard, both aggressive boxers, are matched; also Jack King and J. Schuler, one of the best amateur fimhtweighu on the coast. Jimmy Lawlor and Young &riffo were matched last evening to box ten rounds before the New Western Athletic Club.

There were no comments made on the letter. Mod- erator Chamberlain requested the regis- trar to write to the Dubuque Conference, acce})(lnfi the explanation and a dignified reply will be sent. egistrar Hatch then suggested that the committee of seven which was ap- golntefl to handle the Brown trouble be ischarged. Nash rose and suggested that the committee be thanked for the satisfactory manner in which it had handled the affalr. Moderator Chamber- lain then discharged the committee, and the Brown case was officially closed. The committee, consisting - of Messrs. Foster, Hatch, Rader, Hallett and Adams, who were agpnfin(ed to revise the consti- tution and by-laws, filed a printed con- stitution and by-laws. The only change which would in any way affect ministe- rial standing is the by-law which re- quires that no delegate not in ministerial standing shall pass upon a ministerial delegate’s standing. The new by-laws make the following provision for dealing with complaints: When complaints are made against churches or ministers of the association this committee shall seek to learn and remove the causes of complaint. Failing in this, the committee shall report the facts to the association, which may then proceed with the case according to the natural right of every organized body to grant, to maintain or to withdraw the rights and v in such organization. nder the new constitution nineteen mem- bers, nine ministers and ten lay delegates, present and voting, shall constitute a quorum. Churches which fail to send delegates and to Teport statistics for two consecutive vears shall forfeit t membership and may be dropped by \vote from the roll-of the association. Min- istdrial membership shall lapse after two years of unreported absence from the bounds of the association. Each church in this association shall be entitled to three delegates in every meeting, sald delegates to be prorerly elected or_appointed by the church. ev. W. Rader, Dr. George Adams, Rev. C. R.

ALAMEDA, Aug. 9.—Several applica- tions have been made to the City Trus- tees, sitting as a board of equalization, for reductions in the valuation of rea property. None of them amounts to more than a few hundred dollars difference be- tween the assessed and the owner's val- | uation. Several of them have been | granted, but the total will make little difference in the assessment role. Don’t drink your money up.
