Brooke & few weeks ago, on which occasion he also attempted to kill Mrs, Brooke and her daughter. When Cheeseman came into court he looked and acted like a lunatic. Thers was not an expression of intelligence in either his eyes or any other of his feat- ures. Whether this be natural or not ex- perts will probably have to determine.

Opens Meadors’ ‘Defense by Asking That the Case Be Dismissed. OAKLAND, Sept. 2L.—Attorney Eugene Deuprey commenced a technical fight this morning for the life of James Meadors, the soldier who stabbed Jonas Ury to death at Camp Barrett. Meadors’ counsel objected to the prog- ress of the trial on the ground that the requirements of the statute had not been conformed to. He objected to the Infor- mation, as it was not in writing; objected to the depositions of the witnesses, which were not signed and not even presented to be signed; objected because the questions and answers of the witnesses- had not been approved and signed by him, which is in contravention of Federal and State statutes. Another objection was on the round that in cases of homicide an in- §lctment by Grand Jury is necessary. nd Mr. Deuprey further said that to ave the evidence of the preliminary ex- emination properly introduced it is neces- sary to have the shorthand transcript written in_longhand, signed by the mag- istrate and witnesses. Mr. Deuprey also objected because the transcript had not been filed within the ten days required by Jaw, and after a few more objections Mr. Deuprey calmly asked that the case be dismissed. A little argument followed between rosecuting _Attorney Melvin and Mr. | euprey, and Mr. Deuprey agreed to ac- cept the evidence already given as cor- rect, subject to a change if it be shown that it was incorrect in any part. He then argued that since the transcript had not been filed with the County Clerk it was t00 late to do it now. The court held that while the law might have been violated by not complying with the ten days’ limit, it was merely an un- erformed duty on'the part of the Prose- cuting Attorney, and that it was still his duty to file the notes, and that this ac- tion had not invalidated them in any way. Mr. Deuprey’s many objections will be taken up next Wednesday. The court de- nied his motion for a dismissal of the case. FROM VANCOUVER BARRAJKS. Boys of the Eighih B:egiment Given a Cold Welcome at Portland and Called Names at Vancouver. ALAMEDA, Sept. 21.—Letters have been recelved from members of the battalion of the Eighth Regiment that went to Van- couver barracks last week. They say that the men were given warm welcome all along the line. Coffee and lunch were served them at different places, and at Montague, Siskiyou.County, long tables were spread, and the men ate their fill. At other places fruit, coffee, etc., were supplied. But when they arrived -at Port- 1z1d on the afternoon of last Friday there no one to welcome them and no at- tention whatever was pald to them, al- though their coming was well known. This was in marked contrast to the hearty reception given by the ladles of the Hed Cross to the Oregon men wno ame to California. The members of the (Fheh Regiment were naturally sur- prised at their cold treatment. ‘The_battalion vent to Vancouver on a boat from Portland, and on landing were eeted by a crowd who yelled, “Tinhorn alifornians!” at them. From all of Wwhich the California boys gather that the people of that part of the country are somewhat lackin men in blu. &8 in hospitality for tne | him. —————— FOOTPADS FOILED. A Clergyman Attack'erd, but Puts His Two Assailants to Flight. ALAMEDA, Sept. 2L.—The news of an attempted case of highway robbery in this city, in which & clergyman was the fntended victim, has just come to light. Rev.

Such is the record of An- nie Silva Marciel, a little girl from Hay- wards, whose appearance is that of a sixth grade pupil. Last November, when Joseph Marciel called at Joe Silva's cottage, the mother laughed at his absurd proposals of mar- riage to the child, telling him there was a good looking boy, a schoolmate of An- nie’s, who should have her as his bride when they were old enough. But Mar- ciel was determined, and the burly shep~ herd and the little girl, on November 28, went to Sacramento and became man and wife. As the honeymoon waned clouds gathered and their marital life became a storm. “After we were married a few days,” said Mrs. Marclel to-day, ‘Joe tried to kill himself with a big knife, and*fright- ened me awfully. Then he choked me with his big hands and sald he would rather see me dead than llving. I do mnot know why. I was afraid to live with Then I heard he was going far away, and I asked him to first give me a divorce; but he said if I h I could get a divorce; if not he could not help me, and oh, he was always so rough to me,” said the child with a shrug ot CHOKED HIS CHILD BRIDE. o' A School Girl Will Apply to the Gourts for Divoree, Having Been Deserted. the shoulder, “but pa will talk it over Sund‘;y, and then I will be Annie Silva again.” '_Marciel, who is known about town as Joe Mast,” Is about 33 years of age.

Nephews and Nieces Residing in Oakland, However, ‘All Well “Provided For by the Tes- tator. OAKLAND, Sept. 2L.—The holographic will of the late F. K. Shattuck, who died in Berkeley on the 9th inst., was filed for probate to-day, and the widow, Mrs. Rosa M. Shattuck, has petitioned for letters testamentary. The estate is valued at $115,000, as fol- lows: Southwest corner of Broadway and Eighth street, $50,000; undivided half of a lot at the corner of Broadway and First, $2500, and at northeast corner, $2500; about thirty acres, unimproved lots and blocks in Berkel 0 Berkeley dwellling and lot, asture land In Contra Costa County, $3000. The personal Erap- erty consists of Oakland ' and Berkeley banks s‘t(ocmls,ooo. and other corpora- tion stocks, $500. The will i{s dated November 22, 1897, and all property is bequeathed to the widow during her lifetime, and at her death one- half of whatever may be left 1is be-' queathed to a nephew, John W. Havens, after the following bequests have been ald: To a sister, Elizabeth Havens, £5000; to the nieces Ethel Havens, Mrs. Mary Robinson, and nephew, Roscoe H.

The instrument consists of two pages of legal cap and there are no subscribin meeasesA ‘When testator died he was years of age. The widow is a few years younger. B — OPPOSES THE LAKE Tax Levy High Enough, but Badly Distributed. OAKLAND, Sept. 21.—Trustee Hardy of the Free Library Board has issued a statement in which he says: The rate for library purposes should not be less than 4 cents on each $i00 assessed valua- tion—this was the rate last year. This matter ought to be considered in another respect. If the library is an adjunct to the school department, no less are the reading rooms which meet a demand on the part of the laborer who cannot afford the time nor ex- pense necessary in visiting the library. About 1500 persons daily visit the reading rooms— they are the educational opportunity of the la- boring man and his family—places where they can, without expense, obtain from magazines, daily newspapers and illustrated and sclentifio Wecklles all the current news, and gather the best thoughts of men in every domain of in- tellectual research; where public opinion can be formed that will conduce to good citizenship and a better development of American insti- tutions. Ehall we retrograde as an educational center? No proposed improvement of Lake Merritt can justify the closing, though partial, of our high school, library or reading rooms or the lessen- ing of their present efficlency. 1t the proposed levy is adopted will not the people awake to the injustice done them, and emphasize their disapproval at the ballot box? Ought not_the lake side sewers to be pald for equally by the city and a sewer district?- The only portion of the lake that is too shal- low or in an unsanitary condition is the upper portion running up the east and west sides of ‘Adams Point, Should not a part of these arms of the lake be filled with mud taken from the adjacent portions of the lake? By so do- ing would not land be made for a boulevard and park purposes? About one-half of the proposed appropria- tion for the dredging of the lake would be sufficlent for this purpose. Next year the lower portion of the lake, which 1s in good sanjtary condition and sufficiently deep for present use, could be dredged into the estu between the Twelfth street dam and the Eight] street bridge, thereby making additional land for park purposes. The suggestions and statements made by Mr. Snow and Mr. Miller, ideal officials in their respective departments, should commend them- elves by their impartial justice and logic to the favorable consideration of the Council and the public spirited citizens. —_———— The Oakland Exposition. OAKLAND, Sept. 2L.—At the meeting of the Merchants' Exchange last nfght Director Gier stated that every commer- cial body in the State would “co-operate in the coming exposition on November 12, as such assurances had been recelved. The exposition committee meets every Tuesday at 43 p. m. in the Board ot Trade rooms, and the general committee will meet on Saturday morning at 9 o'clock in the same place. Sunol Hotel Burned.

A Druggist Refused to Treat Him and He Died Before a Doctor Could Be Found., The 2-year-old son of Louls Geischen of 1342 Sacramento street died yesterday af- ternoon under most pecullar circum- stances. The child was playing-in his fainer's yard, when he found an ivy leaf, which he ate. Within a few minutes he was taken sick and grew worse so rapidly that his mother hurried him to Strong’s drug- store on the corner of Leavenworth and Clay streets. The druggist found the child in such a condition that he was afrald to treat him, and the despairing mother with the dying child In her arms hurried down the street in search of a doctor. She was unable to find a doctor and started for the drug store on the corner of Leavenworth and Pacific streets, but before she arrived there the child be- came unconscious and dfed. = ‘An autopsy was held on the body of the baby and inquest was walved by the Cor- oner. The child’s father {s a barkeeper in the Magnolia saloon. TO TRY ANOTHER METER. Board of Public Works Has Grown Weary of the Waste of Water. OAKLAND, Sept. 21.—The Board of Public Works met this morning and again discussed the question of the great amount of water registered by the City Hall meter, but which flows uninterrupt- edly through some subterranean course under the City Hall, Mayor Thomas and a committee have been conducting a thorough investigation. Last Sunday all the faucets in the build- ing were turned off and still the meter registered at a lively rate. Ih a few hours 850 gallons passed through. The bills have reached to over $100 per month of late. Mayor Thomas facetiously recommend- ed that the City Hall be connected with the Fifteenth street meter, which is ap- parently slow, —as it sugl)lles all the parks, the kitchen and baths in the jall, and does not register over $10 worth & month. The suggestion was adopted, and Mr. Dow agreed to defray the plumbin expense provided the bill does not reac! as high as the water bills have lately. The rapid meter will in the meantime be given a rest. Damages for Lost Toes. OAKLAND, Sept. 21.—The dmag suit of J. E. Holt against the Bouthern Pacific Company for the recovery of $11,000 dam- ages claimed on account of a smashed left foot was commenced before Judge Greeneand a jury to-day, and will occupy several days.. Holt was on. the stand and testified to buying his ticket and as to his hunting for the proper car at the pler on July 17, 18%6. He found the car locked, but was directed by the porter to remain and await the arrival of the conductor. While wnmni the engine backed down, hurling him forward so_his foot caught in the bumpers. A. A. Moore is the at- torney for defendant, and W. A. Bowden of San Jose and H. B. Griffith of San Francisco for the plaintiff. Fencing in the Lake, OAKLAND, Sept. 21.—Councilman Gi- rard is of the opinion that some_one is trying to steal a portion of Lake Mer- ritt. e introduced a resolution before the Council last night nuthurflln’ the city engineer to make a survey of cer- tain J’mperty north of the lake. When asked for an explanation he sald: “I have introduced a resolution because at the qorthern end of Lake Merritt there are some people feneing In property that was once claimed as a part of the lake. It is now claimed by those doing the fencing. I want to find out who owns the prop- erty.” His resolution was ununlmounfy passed. Kennedy’s Body Identified.

Then he removed his cvat and vest and jumped in to enjoy a swim, his trousers and clothes being ready drenched.

SEVERE MEASURES ADOPTED THE FACULTY ATTEMPTS TO TINFORCE ITS RULES. Students at Berkeley Excited Over the Punishment Meted Out to Four Freshmen for Rushing. BERKELEY, Sept. 21.—The faculty of the University of California has at last decided to put its foot down upon the old .custom of college rushes. By the action of its committee on students’ affairs it has already assumed an attituue of ex- treme severity toward those who took part in the tussle of last Friday night. Four freshmen and several sophomores have been ‘“called up,” and one has been given notice either to withdraw his name from the academic roll or to suffer tne penalty of expulsion. This determined action on the part of | the professors came as & great surprise to all the students this morning, and as a consequence the whole university is in a state of excitement. The general sentiment seems to prevail that the faculty is right in the stand it has taken, and the more conservative among the college men indorse its action as far as the principle of the thing goes. But many complaints are heard that the punishment meted out was exercised with unjust discrimination, and it is expected that the Associated Students will take the matter up and request the committee on students’ affairs to reconsider its deci- sion. The four freshmen who have felt the weight of faculty law so unexpectedly are T. L. Hamlin, R. 8. Springer, W. Dixson and A. McKeown. and Hamlin entered the university last August from the Berkeley High School. Dixson is the crack sprinter from Oregon and the man who was expected to carry off the 100-yard dash in the next inter- collegiate field day. [hese four received notices this morning worded briefly as follows: “The com- mittee on students' affairs desires to see you in room 5, North Hall, at 11:16 o’'clock Wednesday. ‘This notice takes precedence of all other unlversit{ appointments.” ‘Within the committee-room the men were told that they had violated the rules of the college, and so must consider themselves debarred from the privileges of the university, with the option of withdrawing their names themselves from the academic roll. R. S. Springer was able to prove that he took no part in the rush, and was ac- cordingly excused. A. has been taken under consideration; but over the other two the sentence of the committee still remains. When seen by a Call representative this afternoon Hamlin gave his version of the affair very frnnk?': “We were hardly - riuau"h baseball game,” he said, “when the rush- ing started on the other side of tne campus. I stayed behind on the fleld, looking after some of the things and talk- ing with the the fight till it was just over. I happened then to see a sophomore on top of a freshman, and could not resist going to the help of one of my own classmates. A minute or go after the rush was de- clared over, and I never at mK time was in the midst of it. Why I should have been singled out from the rest I do not know, but I could not deny before the committee this morning that I had noth- ing to do with the affair whatever, al- though 1 only acted on the spur of the moment while passing by when the tuss.e was going on. However, the committee refuses to be lenient on that account, and the Szfinser, McKeown | McKeown's case | layers, and did not get near | there is the option either of withdrawal | or expulsion. have decided to underro the latter, because it seems to me tiat justice was hardly done in my o All those who took part in the rush agree that Hamlin has recelved a much Ereuer punishment than he deserves and hat he really was the last who ought to have come under faculty censure. The majority of the students think it very un- fair that two or three men should have been selected to suffer for the actions of a whole class. Rumors of indignation meetings have been floating about the campus all day, and rash suggestions about the whole freshman class withdrawing from college, but as the Associated Students is proper body to deal with levances of this kind a meeting will doubtless be called for Friday morning to discuss the matter, It i{s probable that some agree- ment will then be reached which will settle the whole question of rushing for some time to come. Meanwhile, those who engaged in the rush last Friday night are expecting any moment to be ‘“‘called up,” with the same fate in view as those whose cases have already been dealt with.

BERKELEY, Sept. 21.—The annual elec- tion of officers for the Athletic Associa- tion of the University of California was held to-day upon the college campus.
