OAKLAND'S POLICEMEN ARE SEASONED VETERANS CHIEF FLETCHER COMPILES HIS ANNUAL REPORT. The Two Youngest Officers Are Aged Twenty-Eight Years Each—Some Who Are Entitled to Retirement. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, %3 Broadway, Dec. 6. Age is at present the prevailing char- acteristic of the Oakland Police Depart- ment, according to the report just pre- pared by Chief Fletcher. Of the sixty members of the department several are over 55 years old. One has reached 72 and another confesses to 62, though it is be- lieved he has somewhere forgotten a few years. ? £ 2 Twenty-one Oakland “finest” are native sons; five are from Maine; nine from Ire- land; two from Germany; one from Aus tria, and one from Africa. But the lat- ter, Officer Wood, is not a colored man. There are some officers who, under the law, are subject for retirement, having assed their sixtieth year. Detective hofey has just passed the limit, and has been in the employ of the city but a few months short of the exact half of his life. Should Shorey retire now he would receive a pension of $6250 a month. Officer Phillips is also 60 years old and has been on the force twenty years. Offi- cer Greenwald is 62, but he has only been in the department seventeen years and is not therefére eligible for a pension. Chief Fletcher is 62 years old and is still strong and sturdy. He does not come under the same rules as a member of the Police Derarlmen( in the matter of re- tiring, although he would now receive a pension of $87 50 should he close his active career. The two youngest officers on the force | are Sherry and Pardee, who are but 28| years old and comparatively new men. This morning the Chief applied to the Police Commissioners to have the police clerk appointed a regular officer. Chief Fletcher said that every Chief’s clerk in the country has the authority of a regu- Jar man and as the change means no in- crease of pay it will probably be made, especially as Chief Fletcher informed the board that he can use a clerk with a star :i"eslr(nmy more ways than sitting at a Matrimonial Bonds Dissolved. OAKLAND, Dec. 6.—Superior Judge = den to-day granted Lillie C. Bramgha.l(l)ga divorce from Walter M. Bramhall on the ground of habitual intemperance; also a divorce to Josie M. Sears from Antone J. Bears on the ground of willful neglect. In the latter case custody of three minor children was awarded to plaintiff, who was allowed $2 for attorney fees and $20 monthly alimony. Gertrude E. Carmen was also granted a divorce to-day from Charles W. Carmen onj the grbund of willful neglect. Judge Hall allowed plaintiff to resume her maiden name, Gertrude E. Payne, and no alimony was awarded. Boxing at the Recliance. OAKLAND, Dec. 6.—Wednesday evening the Reliance Athletic Club has a fine pro- ramme for its boxing night. There will gc two tryouts and two eight-round con- tests for decisions. The main events will be as follows: Jack McMahon, the clever lightweight, will meet Jimmy Higgins, Afex Greggians’ crack pu‘fll.at 128 pounds, and Emil Dahl, who defeated George Gates at the last night given by the club, will meet Frank Schuler of the San Fran- cisco Athletic Club. Great interest is be- ing taken in these goes and they should be the fastest secn in Qakland to data NO CENSURE FOR ATTENDING A CONVENTION Principal Fisher Exonerated. Is WORKED FOR DR. PARDEE ISFIED. Says He Took the Course Because an Important Principle Is In- vclved—A Question of Politzes. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Dec. 6. It is not opposed to public policy for principals of public schools to leave their duties for a day or two and attend polit- ical conventions. After a long period dur- ing which this matter has been under consideration by the School Board the Directors have decided by a big majority that principals who have thus acted will not be censured. The Board of Education is composed al- most entirely of Republicans. There is at least one Democrat on the board, and when Principal P. M. Fisher of the Cen»i tral School went to Sacramento to shout for Dr. Pardee the Democratic minority was sorely displeased. Possibly if Prin- cipal Fisher had howled with greater suc- cess and Dr. Pardee had been nominated and had now been Governor-elect of Cali- fornia Director Clement would not have introduced his resolution. Director Clement has steadi pressed the matter since introducing his resolu- | tion some months ago, and finally the board has disposed of the incident. Prin- cipal_Fisher and Principal Mck ck of the Night School were both included in the resolution recommending censure, but neither will be disciplined. The commit- tee which was appointed to investigate the matter presented its report, which was very brief, last night, and merely recommended that after thorough investi- gation it did not consider that the gentle- men in dispute had been forsaking their schools or doing politics nor has the habit | become so prevalent or the privilege so much abused that censure is necessary. Directors Clement and Todd took a d ferent view of the matter and before the incident closed Director Clement got in his final rap as follows: “I am very sorry that anything should be brought up in this matter that savors of political bias. took this matter up nat because the tlemen in question were Republicans or Democrats, but because I considered there was a principle involved which was being violated. If Mr. Fisher be a prin- cipal of the School Department he 1s no right to wind up his school and go away to a political convention, leaving it to look out for itself. I believe this ma ter should be investigated and I regret to hear a report at this time accepted by the board.” The incident has been generally regard. ed as being dependent upon whose ox i gored. Late Dr. Slater’s Widow Wins. ALAMEDA, Dec. 6.—The board of arbi- tration of the A. O. U. W. has settled in favor of the widow the dispute over the life certificate of the late Dr. Thomas Slater. The widow assigned a_portion of the death claim to Philip Seiben, finan- cier of Alameda Lodge No. 5, of which Slater was a member. When the drafts rived the widow refused to recognize the ignment to Seiben. Seiben thereupon charged that Slater was in arrears in his dues to the lodge at the time of his death and that he (Seiben) had concealed the fact from the Grand Lodge out of sympa- thy for his widow. The board of arbitra- tion gave the widow the full amount of her husband’s insurance and ignored Sei- ben’s claim. KINARD oW~ WANTS JUSTICE CLIFT OUSTED Brings Charges Misconduct. of SAYS CLIFT WITHHELD FEES CITATION ISSUED ORDERING DE- | FENDANT TO APPEAR. Sensationsl Suit Filed Against a Jus- tice Whose Term Expires With the Close of the Year. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Dec. 6. A sensational suit was filed in the Su- perior Court this afternoon, wherein C. E. | Kinard prays that Justice of the Peace | Fred C. Clift be deposed on account of | various acts of alleged misconduct in office. | What adds interest to the suit is that | it comes almost on the eve of the expira- tion of Justice Clift's term, for on.Jan- uary 1 he will be succeeded by either Mor- timer Smith or John Stetson. Hence it | will be a legal race with Justice Clift's natural relinquishment of office or his | ousting as a goal. At any rate, Superior Judge Ellsworth:late this afternoon issued a citation ordering Justice Clift to appear before him on the morning of December | 14 at 10 o'clock. In his complaint Kinard | makes a dozen or more charges. He al- leges that during April, 1894, the suit of . E. Kinard vs. F. S. Holt was tried be- fore defendant Clift, who has never ren- dered a decision in the case, though Kin- | ard frequently requested him so to do, and has at all times been ready to pay the $3 costs. He charges also that the case of John S. Matthews against E. M. Paterson, heard April 26, 1893, a decision was rendered November 6 of that year but entered antedated September 6, 1883; that in the case of W. and B. Pegmen vs. H. Hamb, charged with cruelty to ani- mals, tried May 22, 1898, Clift charged as fees §18 instead of $6. On October 15, 1897, C. S. Martin was fined $§20 for contempt of court. The fine, according to Kinard’s complaint, was pal to Justice Clift, and entry of the trans- action was not made until a year later. Plaintiff next alleges that Clift made | illegal charge for performing marriage | ceremonies, the law allowing but §2, whereas in the following instances de- | fendant charged $5: February, 1868, John | Bianchi and Julia Griffin; March 1, 1898, George Sanders and Mary Stokes; October | 18, 1388, L. L. Gilstrop and Irene Ma September 14, 1888, John W. Stokes and T. J. Massip; June 8, 1898, M. W. Byrne and E. E. Kenlock. In conciusion Kinard alleges that dfl,-i fendant withheld fines and forfeitures and falled to turn these over to the County Treasurer within the proper time. Plaintiff asks for the removal of the | defendant as a Justice of the Peace and | for judgment in the sum of $00 and costs | 1 of suit because he was injured as a tax- | payer. | At the time of the death of the late Con- stable Koch, who was Kkilled in the Mel- rose explosion, Kinard was also prosecut- ing a somewhat similar suit against that official. Boehmer’s Place Burned. OAKLAND, Dec. 6.—The buildings of Fritz Boehmer's wayside resort near his | Frederichsruhe, on the Redwood Canyon road, about half a mile above Walter Morosco's new mansion, were burned to the ground last night. The flames con- sumed the saloon, the main two-story building_and several other small struc- tures. The amount of the loss has not been estimated.

MYSTERY OF THE EXPLOSION SUPERINTENDENT C. D. KENNE- | DY’S DEATH LAMENTED. Tribute to the Noble Character of the Man—The Inquest Will Be Held at San Pablo. The gelatine plant of the Judson Powder Works, which was completely destroyed in the explosion that wiped out the lives of Superintendent Charles D. Kennedy | and five Chinese laborers Monday after- noon, is to be rebuilt at once. A gang of men was at work bright and early‘ yesterday morning clearing away the debris of the wrecked building, prepara- tory to the erection of a new mixing house, .and in the course of ten days or two weeks the plant will be again in full operation. The fragments of flesh and shreds of clothing, which furnished mute and| meager evidence of the sacrifice of human | life which the explosion entailed, and| which were gathered up after the di: aster by Deputy Coroner Quellin of Ala- meda County, will be taken to San Pablo | in Contra Costa County Thursday, where an inquest will be held by Coroner Curry at 1 o'clock p. m. The inquest will be a mere formality, however, as far as ascertaining the cause of the deplor- able tragedy is concerned, for the rea-| son that, as in all explosions of this character, the only persons who could throw any possible light on the mystery | have passed beyond the jurisdiction uli earthly authorities. | As an official of the Judson Powder Works said yesterday, the cause of the explosion will never be known. If it could be, future disasters of the kind might bé guarded against, but as it is, | explosions in powder mills will continue | continue | to be sacrificed. Those who engage in | the actuyal work of manufacturing | high explosives knowingly take their | lives in their hands, and explosions are not of sufficient rarity in California_ to | cause a great amount of surprise after | the first shock of horror has passed. But| ldom has a community experienced ! ch a sensation of mingled awe and grief at the death of one of its members | as was caused by the untimely taxing it of Charles D. Kennedy. There is mourn- ing in the Athenian Club in Oakland, of which ke was a member and at which he resided, and the: 1s genuine sorrow among scores of friends and acquaint- ances who knew and appreciated the/ noble character of the man. Michael A. Kennedy, a clerk in To-| briner's drug store, at the corner of Seventh and Market streets in Oakland, is v relative of the deceased on the | coast. Charles Kennedy hagd been brother | and father to him and the blow is doubly severe on the young man. “I have heard many explosions,” said | Mr. Kennedy last evening, his eyes filling | any particular attention to them, but, when 1 heard that noise yesterday after- noon 1 colapsed completely, for 1 Knew | instinetively that Charley was gone."” President” Lukens of the Judson Com- | pany sent a message East announcing Mr. Kennedy’s death immediately after the accident and yesterday he received a dis- patch to the effect that the family of the deceased had been notified. Michael Kennedy also sent a message, but has us yet received no reply, and until he doc no definite arrangements for the funeral Mr. Kennedy leaves a mother, Mss. M. F. Kennedy of New Bedford, Mass.; four | brothers and a_ sister. The latter are: Dr. Frank M. Kennedy and Joseph F. Kennedy, New_Bedford; John C. Ken- nedy, Boston; M. A. Kennedy, Oakland, and Mrs. M. .

ALAMEDA, Dec. 6.—All Alameda s agog at a disruption in the Board of City Trustees. Trouble has been brewing for some weeks. The members fought shy of appointing a new City Marshal for fear that the storm might break forth in all its fury. Action, however, was forced up- on them and with action came the storm. The tempest broke last night at an ex- ecutive session called for the purpose of deciding upon changes in the Police De- partment, made necessary by the resig- nation of Chief Rogers. John Brick, chairman of the police committee, started the fuss by asserting that the patronage belonged to him and that his colleagues on the board should keep quiet and grit their teeth while he made appointments according to his own ideas. e closed his end of the row by questioning the veracity of the other members of the board, and, jumping to_ his feet, shook his fist in Chairman Forderer's face, shouting at the top of his voice: “I wish you to dis- tinctly understand that you are not my friend and never will be.” ‘When the secret session was called to order and its purpose had been stated, Brick was the first to talk. am chairman of the police commit- tee,” he said, '‘and this appointment be- longs to me. I have been ‘sat on' per- sistently ever since I came on this board, and 1 have never been treated with any courtesy. Sergeant Conrad, who wants to be Marshal, asked every one of you to vote for him, but he did not even ask me to support him or consult me in the matter.” Trustees Forderer, Fletter, Clark and Schulte denied that Conrad ever men- tioned his ambitions to them. “I don’t believe you,” shouted Brick. “I never was given a chance on this board. 1 have been slighted long enough, and this is the end of it. I am chairman of the police committee and I will have the appointment of Marshal as well as all police officers.” Chairman Forderer said that inasmuch as Brick had intimated that his colleagues were liars, it was his opinion that Brick’s jdea of courtesy was “‘way down.” The discussion was reaching a dangerous ten- sion when the conference broke up. The argument was renewed on the sidewalk in front of the City Hall, but the trustees were led in different directions by their friends before they came to blows. Brick favors the appointment of Harry Transue to the office of Marshal, while Sergeant Conrad is the choice of the other four members. P —— Oakland News Items.
