There are now half a dozen Socialists out on bail, | charged with speaking in public without | the necessary permit from the Mayor or | the Chief of Police. M. W. Wilkins, editor of the State party | organ, was the first man arrested, and he | states that “educational meetings” will | be held at Tenth and Broadway every | | evening during the week with the excep- | tion of Sunday. Every night a man will be put forward who will be arrested by | the police, and bail will be put up until the legalify of the ordinance is decided. | The prisoners have all demanded jury trials, and the first one will come off in about a week. When Sergeant Peterson made the ar- rest of Wilkins he was handed a copy of the constitution, and told Wilkins that he preferred to follow the Oakland ordi- nance. To-morrow evening it is announced | that a lagy will be put forward. She is Mrs. Jane A. Roulston, the candidate of the Socialist party for State Superintend- ent of Public Instruction. Her address is to be delivered at Tenth and Broadway. It is probable that the lady will be re- leased on her own recognizance. Several lawyers have declared that the Oakland ordinance will probably be found | to be sound, as a matter of public policy, not framed to prevent free speech, but to prevent inconvenience by drawing crowds in the center of the city. When the case | comes to trial there will be no lack of legal talent in behalf of the Soclalists. SCHOOLS AND TAX LEVY. The Board of Education Estimates Before the City Council. OAKLAND, Sept. 12—The Board of Education appeared before the City Coun- | cil to-night to discuss the estimates of | the School Department, preparatory to | fixing the tax levy for the current year. The first discussion arose over the mo- | tion of Mr. Cuvellier to raise the Auditor’'s estimate for a new bullding as an annex | to the manual training school from $5000 | | to $10,000. Cuvelller surprised the lobby | by making a defense of the manual | | school. Mr. Henneberry reminded Cuvel- lier that only he had sald the schools were no good and the gentleman from the | First sald that was another matter. The sum of $3000 for permanent improve- ments to grounds was cut out on motion of Mr. Pringle. | Director Redington made a plea that no | cuts_be made. He sald that at present the Board of Education is paying Berke- | | ley for educating several children and | that the board would keep the Oakland schools open as long as.the money appro- | priated by the Council would last. Councilman Girard said that the Board of Education could be trusted with the amount allowed and moved that the Au- ditor’s estimate of $256,79 be reduced only the $5000 for a_new site, and his motion prevailed. The Hl% School estimates were | then taken up. r. Todd said that the | contracts were all let for the year and | no reductions could be made, but $500 was cut off, leaving it at $43,565. The Chabot Observatory estimate was not touched. | Hoodoo Instead of “The Mascct.” OAKLAND, Sept. 12.—The Martens | Opera Camga.ny came to grief at the Mac- | donough Theater to-night.

Sufferers From the Moscow Bank Failure Fear That Their Charges Will Be Quietly Side- tracked. ‘When Secret Service Agent Browne was met recently by Messrs. Krigbaum and Tarpey and confronted by them with charges of having wrecked a bank, sold valueless stock and similar deviations from the path of righteousness he waved them aside with the expression, “Well, gentlemen, you will find that y have bumped up against a brick wall.”” An investigation Into that gentleman's relations with the heads of the depart- ment shows that the wall is a very strong orns and unusually high. In fact, Mr. Browne and his brother, Clarence Brune, | appear to be members of a clan held to- | gether by bonds stronger perhaps than blood relationship.

Two cases of driving horses to death have been called to the attention of the officers of the Soclety for the Prevention | of Cruelty to Animals. One is that of Tom Johnson, third officer of the steamer City of Peking. He hired a double team and rockaway from the Comstock Stables, at 524 Third street, and drove down the country.
