MUNICIPAL LEAGUE OPENS THE CAMPAIGN IT WILL BROADEN THE SCOPE OF ITS WORK. Candidates Will Be Indorsed Irre- spective of Party and Looking Toward General Public Improvements. OAKLAND, Dec. 12.—The municipal campaign opened to-night with a meeting of the Municipal League, and the ball of politics may now be sald to be again roll- ing, after its brief respite. The league was comparatively inactive two years ago, but this year it has al- ready decided to put a complete ticket in the field for the spring election and to nominate in advance of all other parties. The proceedings to-night plainly show the policy the league will adopt, and it pre- sents a marked contrast to that of former vears. The meeting was attended by 2bout 100 of the most prominent men in the city, including Giles H. Gray, Council- men Cuvellier and Upton, ex-Councilmen J. F. Towle, F. Mott, J. W. Nelson, W. E. Barnard and W. O. Buckland, Messrs. C W. Kinsey, A. B. Nvye, F. L. Button, Cary Howard, J. L. Lyon, J. T. Bell, William Moller. Professor Inskeep, Judge Havens, J. T. Warner. A. B. Nye in a compre- hensive speech presented the views that will be adopted by the league, with per- haps a few slight changes. He briefly scanned the history of the organization and said that hitherto its mission had been entirely confined to the moral side of local government and it had finished its work when it had caused hon- est men to be elected to office. It is now intended that the league shall broaden its £cope and that it shall take a stand in behalf of public improvemen‘s. “Two years ago,” said Mr. Nye, “the ~-al- most made what would have fatal mistake of pronouncing purchase of land for public eity should have places that gesidents here and it should Mg pyo the league to see thatf LT BUTEAU'S TESTIMONY | | were at dinner, and resulted in destroying | | mone; longer &esgrves the reports that have !gmfi- abroa® that she is lacking in_pub- lic spirit and enterprise.” It was decid- ed that the policy of indorsing names on other tickets does not produce the de- sired effect. Giles is not to affect good men now holding | their trust. | "Mr. Nye struck the keynote of the rea- son for Oakland’s lack of progress when | he said that this is_a sectional city and | t nobody cared for anything that he | could not see from his own_doorstep. He | deprecated there being an Bast, a West and a North Oakland, and said the pur- | pose of the league should be to unite all. | Formerly no member could be elected to | | membership within ninety days of the election, but this was altered to make it forty-five days. The league will meet in a larger hall next Tuesday night and a new executive committee of nineteen will be chosen. — e e———— NINE HORSES BURNED. Damaging Fire at Elmhurst Yester-| day Afternoon.

OAKLAND, Dec. 12—The divorce suit begun by Mrs. Alice Edith von Brahm- | stead, formerly Alice th Dicka- | on, in San Francisco recalls some recent | experiences of the fair plaintiff in this | city, where she was placed by her at-| torney to get away from her husband. She stopped at a lodging-house at Eleventh and Franklin stre and here her husband found her.

The first important victory in the con- test over the administrafion on the es-| ta of the late David Altva ‘ er, who was killed in a mill in Sa neisco several months ago, was won {his afternoon by the wido The widow, Mrs. Agnes Altvater, had petitioned for letters of administration, as did also David Altvater, a son of the | deceased. The first named petitioner was the second wife of deceased, and, judg- ing from the testimony adduced at the | hearing of the matter before Judge Ells- | worth, they lived together in anything | | Mrs. Altvater in her petition valued the estate at $1500, but since then $1400 has been deposited in the German Savings Bank of San Francisco by the Knights of Pythias for lne support of the chil- dren. On the other hand David Altvater con- tended that there was a will left by nis father, and in_this oginion he was sup- ported by Mrs. William J. Pheian, whose husband claims kinship to the Mayor of San Francisco. Incigentally the contestants value the estate at $4700. Phelan gave some remarkable testimony to-day. He sald that his attorney, G. W. Monteith, had advised him and David Alt- | vater to’induce Mrs. Altvater to visit | and nurse his (Phelan’s) wife, and that in | the meantime the contestants snould go to Mrs. Altvater's home on Benton street, | Alameda, and search for the will; that they did 'this, but found no will, and nar- | rowly escaped trouble when this clandes- | tine visit was made known to the widow. | Phelan’s hatred for and the contempt in which he apparently holds his step- mother-in-law amounted very nearly to | contempt of court, for whilé the widow was testifving he constantly made ‘‘mon- | key shines” "and ‘“faces” at her, until Bailiff Smith was compelled to call 4 halt; | and as Mrs. Altvater left the witness. stand Phelan protruded one of his legs S0 far across the path that led to the | widow's chalr that she was almost | tripped. ortunately for him Judge Ellsworth did not have his attention arrested by these actions. However, he issued letters of ad- | ministration to the widow and allowed her $50 per month out of the estate for tne support of the three minor children. ———— SOME APPOINTMENTS. George Nusbaumer and John Bishop to Superintend Webster-street | Bridge Work. OAKLAND, Dec. 12—The resignation of | I. D. Tobin as steward of the Receiving | Hospital was accepted by the Board of Supervisors this afternoon, to take effect January 1. Harry Borchert was appointed to fill the vacancy. Steward Tobin re- signed because he had been appointed deputy under Coroner-elect Dr. H. M. Mehrmann. Mr. Borchert is spoken of as an able successor, a model young man, for many years holding a responsible po- sition with J. A. Joyce & Co. The Super- sors also appointed County Surveyor George Nusbaumer to engineer the con- struction of the new Webster-street bridge, on behalf of the county, at $10 per day; and John Bishop as superintendent of the work at $6 per day. Supervisors Roeth and Wells voted against these lat- ter appointment: —_————— Dragged by a Runaway.

Mentel, on the night of December 1, was begun before Justice Henry T. Morris in Alameda yesterday afternoen. The hearing was held in the | apartments of Recorder St. Sure in the | City Hall, which was filled with a curious | throng. Tnlike most murder trials, how- | ever, but few women were present. The proceedings were delayed at the | i il It was here that he met his death some time between late last night and early this morning. The circumstances leading up to his de- cease show nothing which could indicate in any way how the poison was taken. Sukeforth was always accounted a dil gent student, and he spent the whole of Sunday preparing for an examination which he should have taken this morning. He remained at home throughout the en- not even going out of doors once. After a'light lunch at 9:3) o'clock In the evening_he carried on his preparations for to-day's examination till some tim past midnight and then lay down to the ep from which this morning failed to Harold did not go out all day vester- * saild Mrs. Hager in speaking of th: sad affair. ‘e kept himself confined in his room almost all day long, coming out every now and then to rest a moment from his studies. It was his practice to write home every Sunday, but yesterday he felt too busy and asked me to write instead. 1 did this for him. Late in the evening he ate a light lunch with my daughter and myself. It was a simple lunch of stewed plums and squash pie. About half-past 9 he went to his room to study again, and we bade him good- night. He remarked that there was a good deal for him to read before to-day. ‘At half-past 7 this morning the break- ast bell w rung, but no move or stir seemed to come from Harold's room. We waited ten minutes and rang agatn. There was no answer and the door was locked. My daughter and 1 hastene the window, where an entrance could ned, and there we found him, dead. The room which young Sukeforth oc: pled had been left in perfect order. Everything was in its usual place, and nothing suggested a struggle of any kind. The bull;]ks lay on the table as he left e had been used till a very late hour. Deputy Coroner Streightif of Berkeley was notifled immediately. He ordered an autopsy to be held this afternoon, and telephoned at once to the young man'’s parents in Nevada Cit; Word came bac to prepare the body to be sent home. W. H. Sukeforth the father, who is a wealthy mining man of Nevada City, will arrive In Berkeley to-morrow to take charge of the remains. The autopsy was held this afternoon by Dr. F. R. Woolsey, Dr. G. B. Hoagland and Dr. J. E. Kelsey. A careful exam- ination showed that évery organ in the body was pertectly sound and normal. It was thou resulted from heart disease, and it was feared by several of his friends that a somewhat excessive use of cigarettes might have been responsible for his de- cease, But nothing could be found in the autopsy to confirm these theories. The physicians soon agreed that death has een brought about by prison. ‘lae stomach is to be subjected to a rigid test, | the result of which will not be known until Tuesday morning. It was suggested by one of the phy: cians that young Sukeforth had proba- bly studied until a very late hour, and feeling the need of rest had used some drug or other to induce sleep. He may have used too large a dose and thus have 11 suggestions nointing to a voluntary suicide seem groundless, as no motive whatever could be assigned for such an act. That there could have been poison in any of the food he had eaten on Sunday seems impossible, as no such effects were felt by any other mem- bers of the family. Not until the result of the autopsy is made known to-morrow can any_clew be gained to the mystery. The deceased was a member of the junior class in college. He was of a quiet, retiring disposition, and seemed to have but few friends among the students. During the present term he had been romoted to the rank of first sergeant Pn Company H of the Universit; adet Corps. His instructors speak of him as a careful and diligent student. The time of the inquest has not vet been set. It will be determined as soon as the physicians announce the result of the autops: —e—e—————— She Got Back Her Saratoga. OAKLAND, Dec. 12—Mrs. M. Harvey has recovered her missing trunk by means of a search warrant, and thereby hangs a tale. She was formerly in the restaurant _business with Mrs., Frank Welton on Franklin street and a few dafis ago packed her trunk to leave. While she went out to order an expressman her trunk disappeared. William Lycurgus and Eliza Maddocks, formerly her em- ployes, afterward confessed they had made away Wwith the saratoga, claiming Mrs. Harvey owed them $2 50 on account. Police Judge Moore to-day held that they did not gurwe the proper course and re- stored the trunk to its owner.

Deputy District Attorney Lin Church has had the han- dling of the case up to the present time, but he was bu with another case, and consequently Mr. Snock was obliged to step in without the slightest preparation. The defendant was on hand promptly, being brought over from the County Jail Sergeant John Conrad and | Officer m Gunn of the Alameda | police force. She was accompanied by her | sister, Miss May Beth, and her father, Adolph Beth of this city. Mr. Sherwood, an uncle, was also present in the court- | room during the hearing. Mrs. Mentel wore a blue dress, black fedora hat, black fur cape, black gloves and a black veil. Her eyes were red from much weeping. and the white bandage that encircled her | head gave her the appearance of an in- v d. She sat bhetween her attorneys— [Chief Fletcher may probably recommend W.

Shreve. X ‘Arthur Jenkins was the first witness ex- amined, as he was also the first to see the body. His testimony was substan- tially the same as that given by him at the inquest two days after the crime was committed. He said he was riding on an Alameda electric car when Mrs. Mentel suddenly appeared in the road. As the car came to a stop she cried out: “I have shot my husband and myself, too. I wish you would take me somewhere.” Her hands | were blood-stained and there was blood on her cape. She was hatless and ap- peared very much excited. In response the pr band was “over there.” He heard a man groaning and he and another passenger found hfi?nle\ lying on the sidewalk in a pool of blood. His right hand was in his pocket and he was lying on a large bun- dle. He was alive, but unconscious, and died fn a few minutes. He also told of Mrs. Mentel being taken to the house of Dr. Lubbock, a short distance down the road, on the car, and the arrival of Judge Morris and Sergeant Conrad on the scene. He saw the revolver lying at the feet of Mentel and identified the one produced in court by a piece chipped from the handle. The testimony of L. Gillogly, conduc- tor, and J. L. Dicks, motorman of the car, was chiefly in corroboration of Jen- kins' testimony, as was also that of Miss Maybelle Guerne, a passenger. Dicks was still on the stand when court adjourned until 9:30 o'clock to-morrow morning. At- torney Foote cross-examined the wit- nesses briefly and sought to bring out the fact that when Mrs. Mentel was taken aboard the car she showed evidence of a struggle, but none of the witnesses could recollect anything of the kind. The defense claims that when the proper time comes they will prove that Mrs. Mentel was knocked down and beaten by her husband before the shooting took E{ace. Dr. Porter, the physician at the eceiving Hospital at Oakland, where Mrs. Mentel was taken to have her wound dressed, will, it is said, go on the stand and testify that her arm and shoulder was black and blue and that there were black and blue marks on her body. The defense will not present any wit- nesses at this stage of the proceeding, notwithstanding the report that it expects to secure an acquittal at the preliminary examination. On the other hand the prosecution will, on Wednesday, introduce the evidence of the two physicians whog}erformed the au- topsy, Drs. Lubbock anfi Meyers, to show that the shots could not have been fired by a person lying on the ground, and fur- ther that the second shot was fired after the man had fallen to the ground. There are rumors of $ensational testi- mony to be given before the hearing is over, but the woman'’s attorneys say they will reserve their evidence until the trial takes place. T any Candidates for Promotion, but Carson’s Successor Is Still a Subject of Much Spec- ulation. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Dec. 12. It is expected that the Police Commis- sioners at their next meeting will name a successor to the late Captain Carson. There are several candidates for the pre- ferment, but no one can be sald to have the inside track. Sergeant Morrison, De- tective Hodgkins, Patrolman Scanlon and Jaller Swain have all been suggested to the Commissioners by their friends, but | the lucky man will have to secure the | indorsement of Chief Fletcher, and the Chief is as mute as the grave. It is not at all likély that the Chief will recommend more than one change in his next report to the Commissioners. He will recommend a successor to Captain Carson, anfl as it is known that for a long time he has believed that two out of the three sergeants would be more useful to the city as ordinary officers he may recommend that two and perhaps all three be dropped. In the event of dropping the sergeants, that they be restored to beats, and in the event of a detective being promoted to captain this would necessitate the promo- tion of a patrolman to a detective. With the perfect system of police telephones that exists in this city, by which each officer reports to the central office every two hours, it has long been known that the three sergeants were more an orna- | ment than a necessity. They recelved no | more pay than a patrolman, their office | 18 not recognized under the charter and they were merely created about a year ago for the purpose of conferring a few favors under the old administration. There are also some members of the| force who are superannuated and en- titled to pensions, and consequently there | i much to interest those who consider the welfare of the Police Department.
