Our na- tional organization has taken action In favor of postal savings banks, pure food laws, rural mail delivery, additional powers to the Inter- state Commerce Commission, speedy construc: tion of the Nicaragua Canal, etc. The condition of the order in California in some sections is very satisfactory; In others it will stand improvement. In the whole we can report progress. The conditions this spring were such that it was deemed best not to push the work of organization, although we started out with good success, but to await a more voreble opportunity. = Our finances are safe und and our funds have been husbanded. penses are curtailed and we are pleased In his remarks he October 1, 1808, have exceeded our expendi tures.

Agri- cultural produce from as far east as the Mis- souri River has been placed in our market and since times are hard for the farmer every other industry in the State has responded to the setback agriculture has received, To our subordinate granges we must look for our success or failure as an order.

This evening there was a public recep- tion to the delegates. Judge E. M.

M. FARRELL OBTAINS A DECREE. | facios X and Was Cruel, but the Son Came to Their Resue and Suffered. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, s Broadway, Oct. 4. Superior Judge Greene this aftérnoon | granted Margaret Farrell a divorce from | John Farrell on the grounds of cruelty and fatlure to provide. The parties are past 60.years of age, and the suit was { brought originally five years-ago, within { which time the aged plaintiff has changed | her attorneys something like a dozen times. The suit was a pecullar one, for in her endeavor to have certain alleged commun- {1ty property divided, plaintift made her stepson, John Joseph Farrell, a joint de- fendant. Eight vears ago John Joseph Farrell helped his father pegging shoes in a lit- tle cobbler's sho- on Eighth street, near Washington. One night on his way home | he purchased a lottery ticket which won $15,000. Just prior thereto his father had married the plaintit, who Is his second wife. There was a $2500 mortgage on this place, and when John Joseph suddenly oecame possessed of the small fortune he came to the rescue of his parents like a good Christian son and had the mortgage as- signed to him. Subsequently he w com- pelled to foreclose in order to clear the title, and, there being no bidders, he wd the property in himself. The stepmother ‘was soon thereafter ousted. Mrs. Farrell claimed that the lotter | ticket was purchased jointly by her hus. band and stepson, and that she was tnere- f;)re entitled to her share in the divi- ston. At the trial to-day Judge Greene held that there had been absolutely no proof to show that the elder Farrell had a cent or any interest in the property. He granted the divorce, and, by way of re- minding the defendant husband that ae | had been married at one time to plaintiff, | the alimony was fixed at $10 per month. | " “I was happy before I won that $15,0w,"” | said young Farrell to-day, ‘but I had that | mortgage assigned to me, and devil a bit | o' rest I've had ever since. I paid the mortgage, paid for sewer and street im- provements and all, and my stepmother ! | | has been trying to get half of it ever | since I got it. I'm biasted if I don’t get rid of that property just as quick as I | can, for it’s a hoodoo” to me.” During the_ trial W. Maguire testified | that he heard John Farrell had struck his | sister, the plaintiff, “‘but’ said he, “if she was single I would Interfere. 'But | since she’s married 1 can’t say that I'd in- terfere if some one ~would knock her | | down. T don't think I've fhe right to in-| terfere with married folks' affairs.” | |“NO PEDDLERS” NOT A | SIGN TO LAUGH AT ‘ANNOYED AT BEING ASKED TO | BUY SCENTED SOAP. | A Police Court Jury Has Already Shown That It Isin Sym- pathy With the | Measure. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, %8 Broadway, Oct. 4. City Attorney Dow has reported that the | ordinance making it a misdemeanor for peddlers to annoy residents who have a sign prohibiting them grom attempting to sell their goods is legal and can be en- forced as a police regulation. | This ordinance has been under consider- | serles of circumstances nearly every Councilman was led to favor it because of personal inconyenience. When Mr. Wood- ward announced that he favored | | the ordinance and had a sign on his steps, “Peddlers are forbidden | here,” several of his brother Councilmen laughed at him. But a week later Mr. | Heitman and Mr. Girard had both been | disturbed while taking an afternoon cigar and they were won over to the ordinance. | St later Councilmen Earl and Cuvellier | weré annoyed by peddlers and still an- other Councilman threw one down his steps because he persisted in attempting to_sell him some scented soap. Eight out of the twelve Councilmen | have been thus converted to the necessity | of such an ordinance and now the Council has ordercd it to be printed preparatory | to its final passage. There is an idea at Councllmen were subjected was gether accidental, but was a pre: plan of two or three citizens who were | determined to secure relief from the hordes of peddlers that work in the resi- dence portions of the city. Another theory is that some storekeeper having a lot of | peddler signs on hand thought this would | be a good way to get rid of them, but President Heitman declares that no such ruse was worked off on the unsuspecting | Councilmen. | About two months ago a police officer not aito- concelved took summary ven%‘eance on the disturb- er and later had him arrested for dis- turbing his peace. A jury in the Police | Court convicted the peddier and declared | that the officer had behaved very prop- | erly. The ordinance wiil become a law fa about two weeks. Located a Chinese Leper. OAKLAND, Oct. 4—A Chinese who has been camping under the old band stand at Padger's Park, near a shed roof whioh some boys had constructed for him, has attracted the attention of the health au. thorities, and a_careful examination of the man by Health Officer Dunn and Dr. Kitchings disclosed the startling revela. tion that he lssuftcrlni; from leprosy, Mrs. Sam Cloxton, who lives near Badger’ says the Chinese came there last Monday. | A guard has been placed over him. The Sentence Staggered Hodges. OAKLAND, Oct. 4.—Bert Hodges, orig- inaily charged with assaulting litte Ge: trade Will, which charge was subsequent- 1y reduced to simple battery, to which he | had pleaded not guilty and demanded a jury trial yesterday, changed his mind to- day and pleaded gullty in Police Judge Alien’s court, evidently expecting to get the minimum_sentence. e was stag- gered . when Judge Alien pronounced a sentence of six months. Lady Yarde-Buller Objects. OAKLAND, Oct. 4—Lady Yarde-Buller has written to Mayor Thomas declaring that she “has not dedicated one foot of her roperty to the city of Oakland.” The etter presumably refers to the opening of Fallon street, which street runs through the property of the late General Kirkham, of whom the protestant is a daughter. The Water Front Trial. OAKLAND, Oct. 4—The trial of the water front case was resumed before Judge Ogden to-day. About one hundred exhibits were introduced in evidence, and the attorneys for the city rested their case. Barring further delays the case will be submitted within two weeks.

He | TAX LEWY 1§ DEPENDENT ON THE MAYOR Reading Rooms Are Ordered Closed. | | WOODWARD IS ELOQUENT GIRARD SAYS THE MEASURE IS A GREAT OUTRAGE. Pringle Declares That the City Gov- ernment Cannot Be Run if Money Is Sunk in Lake Merritt. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Oct. 4. The first effect of the tax levy passed by the Council last night is already felt. The Board of Free Library Trustees has | sent orders to Librarian Peterson to | close all the reading rooms and to run the free library only from 1 to 6 p. m., and to reduce the salaries of all the em- ployes 25 per cent. This action is de- clared to be necessary on account of the small allowance in the tax levy for the free library. The ordinance was signed this morning by President Heitman, and is now in the to become a law or to be vetoed. Public opinion has been very freely expressed that the tax levy as constituted posed to the city’s best interests. It pro- vides enormous sums of money for im- provements on Lake Merritt and vicinity and cuts _down about 25 per cent the amounts for the various departments of the city government. Councilman Girard declares that the High School ili have to close four months in the year, and that the streets cannot be cleaned or the city lighted if the ordinance be signed by the Mayor. Councilman Pringle declares it to be im- ossible to run the city on the proposed ev nished a long typewritten report in de- fense of his vote on the water-rate or- dinance, which, by the way, has never yet been adoptéd, treated the Council to another typewritten speech in which he makes all kinds of defenses for the ordi- nance. Mr. Woodward even assumed the role of dictator to the newspapers, and one of his typewritten paragraphs read: “If the newspapers should make an at- tack upon these gentlemen (the Lake Merritt Improvement Club) and call them schemers to rake the city treas- ury when they apply to the city author- ities for relief from the outrageous state of affairs which exists in and around Lake Merritt—the city's water park—such newspapers would be silenced forever.” |~ Just how the “silencing” would be done or just what Woodward meant is not ap- parent in his speech. “If the Mayor signs that ordinance” said Mr. Girard to-day, “it will be an | outrage. The people of Temescal have as much right to expect the city to build their sewers as_have the millionaires re- siding around Lake Merritt. It is said that the men who compose the Lake Mer- ritt Club own one-third of all the wealth of this city. If this be so, they can well | afford to_pay for building their own sewers. Show me a case in which the Council has spent in ten years $38500 or as many cents for building sewers for poor taxpayers. Lake Merritt is in need of attention, but it is absurd to provide $80,000 for dredging it and $38,500 for build- ing sewers “as a sanitary measure.” The work should be spread over at least two | years, and the sewers should be paid for by those who will benefit by them. “The taxpayers of this city do not fully realize what this means, or if they did they would at once take such steps as will prevent such a waste of public mon- ey. if these millionaires who live around the lake want their property improved let them pay for it. 1 can call to mind that twenty years were consumed in try- ing to influence the Oakland Couneil to spend $6000 in West Oakland, eradicating a nuisance that sent many of our chil- dren Into their graves. No one will con- | tend that Lake Merritt in fifty years’ time will be as foul as was the West Oakland marsh, but vnen poor people live in West Oakland |CIGARETTES CANNOT BE BOUGHT IN OAKLAND TOBACCO AND RICE PAPER NO | DETRIMENT TO MORALS. | A Puzzle That Is Causing Many to Wonder What Purpose Is Served by the New Law. ovakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Oct. 4. The law prohibiting the sale of cigar- ettes is in force, and Oakland is now set- | ting the same example to the State that | Alameda has held up for several months. | For four days it has been impossible to | but there | are as many of the seductive little things | being puffed away as heretofore, and deal- | ers are wondering what inspired Mr. Hen- | neberry’s ordinance. The new law makes it a misdemeanor to | buy cigarettes to smoke them in public | places, or to give them away, but it says | nothing whatever about the sale of cigar- | ette pupers or the sale of cigarette to- | bacco. Consequently everybody is becom- ing expert at rolling the cigarettes, at the | same time wondering why it is more sin- | ful to smoke a home made cigarette than one purchased at a store. However, the cigar dealers have no de- sire to disobey the new law, for a careful canvass of the leading cigar merchants In the center of the city failed to produce { one who =would sell a pnckng of clgar- ettes. This is something unu=ual, but no one has yet been able to see wherein mor- ality has been served by the Henneberry ordinance. The Prohibition county convention paid Mr. Henneberry a high compliment for his efforts to abolish the deadly cigarette, and there are those cruel enough to say that Mr. Henneberry had some such indorse- ment in view when he framed the ordin- ance. There are some cigar dealers who be- lleve that they see a way of getting around the law. Some time ago it was declared that the nickel-in-the-slot ma- chines were legal and not gambling de- vices if the person who put the nickel in the slot received a cigar that was fairly | worth 5 cents. Now it is argued that if the machine pays its debts to the spec lator in packages of cigarettes the law's spirit is not violated while cigarettes are disposed of. This question will sooner or later have to be decided in the police courts. CENTRAL BAXTIST CONFERENCE Eighteenth Ancual Session Opened in Oakland Yesterday. OAKLAND, Oct. 4—The eighteenth an- nual conference of the Central Baptist ANxsociation opened in the Ténth avenue Baptist Church this afternoon, with about 100 ministers from all parts of the State in attendance.

ALAMEDA, Oct, 4—At the sesslon of the Board of City Trustees last evening the tax rate for the coming year was fixed at $1 05 on the $100 of assessed valu- ation. The various departments of e city government had submitted estimates based on careful and economical manage- ment, as claimed by them, which would have made a rate of $1 10 necessary. ‘When the matter came up at last night’s meeting Trustee Fletter moved that the rate be made $1 10. Trustee Brick moved that it be made $105. In_support of his motion to make the rate $110 Mr. Fletter said that he would be glad if the rate could be made 75 cents, but he did | not see how the city government could be run on the $105 basis without creating a | deflciency. _ He believed that the _city would run $6000 behind by the end of the | vear with the rate proposed. He did not want to see the library forced to be closed all but two hours a day, as was the case | in Oakland owing to the reduction in the estimates for carrying on city government. Brick favored the $105 raté in a speech ! that was applauded by the lobby, and | when the motion was put it was carried | by a vote of four to one, Trustee Fletter | in_the negative. Lot Year the tax rate was $112, while | this year there are over $10,000 more of bonds to be paid off. The Crematory Wreckers. ALAMEDA, Oct. 4—Blodgett and Dil- larocco, two of the youths charged with wrecking the garbage crematory on the | marshes, were examined to-da{ before | Justice Morris. The latter, who is the son of an Oakland scavenger, was held to an- swer a_charge of burglary, with bonds set at $500. %lcd ett will have his case further considered on Friday. Nothing was elicited which tended to confirm the suspicion that the scavengers were be- hind the matter and were desirous of crippling the crematory so as to protect their own business Company G in Bad Luck. ALAMEDA, Oct. 4.—A number of letters have been received from members of Com- pany G of the Eighth Regiment, now at yancouver Barracks, Wash., saying that sickness is greatly prevalent among the soldiers and that there are many down with typhoid fever, while the food is so bad that it can hardly be eaten.

Cohen, the well known attorney, has been charged with a felony by Ivy L. Borden, Superin- tendent of the Artesian Water Work The charge is’ that Cohen committed assault upon the person of Borden by means_and force calculated to produce great bodily injury.

FEARS HIS WIFE HAS COMMITTED SUICIDE Mrs. Reisenweber of Temescal in a | Huff Left Her Husband and Cannot Be Found. OAKLAND, Oct. 4.—Charles Reisenwe- ber of Temescal has lost his wife, and up of her. He believes she has committed suicide. “I was out i the yard this morning | when 1 heard our boy crying,” sald Mr. Reisenweber to Captain Wilson. “I went in and told my wife that she ought not to strike the boy. as he is very sensitive. | She became very angry, and finally struck | me in the face. I lost my temper for a moment and slapped her. Then she tried to fel the bottle of carbolic acid, and I had a hard struggle to prevent her from drinking it. Next she locked herself in a room, and I had to break the door in and held her until she promised not to do away with herself. “After this she changed her clothes and ut on her hat. She kissed our boy good- Ey and told him he would never see his mother again. I knew that it would be useless for me to try to stop her, as she would have scratched and bitten me and | would have raised a big disturbance. When she gets very angry she seems to become insane. She has gone off before in this way, but what frightened me this time was her kissing the boy and saying that he would not see her again. “I have had trouble with my wife be- fore when she has had spells of anger. On one occasion she tried to | get my razor to cut her throat, and at| another time she tried to get my revolver. e ADVERTISEMENTS.
