NO CLEW TO THE LAWYER MORE EVIDENCE THAT HE IS A MAN OF WEALTH. Believed That He Is Sick in Some Part of the State and Unable to Send Word to His Friends. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Dec. 23. The mystery surrounding Lae disappear- ance of John R. Parker was not lifted to- day, but rather deepened. In answer to the dispatch sent from Chicago last night by Chief Fletcher, several dispatches were received to-day. One was sent to the proprietor of the Galindo Hotel by Mrs. Parker, who is now in Chicago, asking for details of her husband’s whereabouts, if any are obtainable. This morning a detective in the employ of the Hibernia Bank of San Francisco came to Oakland to search for clews of the missing man. The bank has been asked by a prominent attorney b0f Chi- cago, who knows Parker well, to try to locate him. Their detective could obtain no more news than was printed In this morning’s papers, for Parker dropped completely out of sight, and no one is able to even guess wiere he went. The ordinary theories of foul play have been advanced, but it is regarded as fli)l(‘ sic in some place unknown to his friends. When he left tne Galindo he was known to be sick and it is ‘{Jrurmhle that he be- came serjously ill and that he will soon be found on account of the rublicity given to his_disappearance. When Attorney Parker came to Oakland a month ago he callea on several attor- neys in the building where he rented of- fices, and made himself acquainted. One of these attorneys is Darwin C. “Mr. Parker called in my office a few vs after hi rrival,” said Mr. de Golia tternoon, “and we discussed variou: for a couple of hour: He told me of his Chicago connections and of his purposes in coming to California, and he evidently intended to look around and if thing was satisfactory to bring his y out here. I am convinced he is a man of some means, and he impressed me with the fact that he is a man of excel- judgrent and stability. I am certain not keeping away from Oakland own desire.

PREPARING FOR A HOT FIGHT. Alameda Politicians Getting in Line for the Spring Election. ALAMEDA, Dec. 23.—Alameda politics s beginning to bubble. New candidates for the municipal offices are bobbing up every da no ¢ man. James Fowler, Deputy Coroner, the latest to have political ambitions. He has a notion that he would like to shine s a City Trustee, and his friends are beginning to make plans to capture for him the nomination of one of the con- ventions. City Clerk Lamborn and Re- corder St. Sure will be candidates for re- election. " They will apparently have a walkover at the election. There is no well defined opposition to either of them, and so far they have the fleld all to themselves. A. T. Burns is out for the Assessorship in opposition to E. M. Smith. Burns is backed by the younger clement, and has a big following. Smith has held the office for several terms. Ros- well G. Wheeler wants to succeed himself as City Treasurer; Elmer Johnson, Os- wald Lubbock and Linwood Palmer are also after the position; but Wheeler's triends claim he has the inside track and will be an easy winner. 2 There wtll be a warm fight for the office of City Marshal, but the action of the City Trustees in putting Sergeant Conrad in the position to fill the unexpired term of Oscar Rogers has mixed matters to such an extent that it is hard to tell just | now who will be in the fieid for the job. Alameda is getting ready ror one of ‘the hulhdsl political fights it has ever experi- enced. Alameda News Notes.

BERKELEY, Dec. 23.—For the last two nights the university town has been vis- ited by a heavy north wind, the force of which has never been equaled here before. It was confined almost entirely to the central'part of the city, the outiying dis- tricts being scarcely touched at all. de Golia. | has | no | Ithough well along in years he was not had a_ conversation | left, | going to Stockton, and | ick he is in a Catholic | aid he was once so well | and it s now certain that in | se will the office have to seek the | professors | ate | Within the affected region the powerful norther exerted its energy with a terrific force, bringing sleepless nights to many of the citizens.

Some of the exposed sections of the town were rendered quite impassable for pedes- trians. College Is Closed. BERKELEY, Dec. 23.—The present academic term of the University of Cali- fornia closed this afternoon. For the past two weeks the midyear examinations have been on, but they were finished to-day, and all the college buildings are deserted for the Christmas holidays. The greater part of the 1500 students at Berkeley have left for home, not to return until the 16th of next month, when the second term of the academic year will commence. Throughout the vacation the university library will be kept open on Monday, ‘Wednesday and Friday of each week. AGAINST CALIFORNIA PRODUCT Local Protest Aga.ing the Ecuador- Chile Treaty. Local merchants, manufacturers and exporters are considerably exercised over a reciprocity treaty recently entered into by the Governments of FEcuador and Chile. The treaty relates solely to com- merce and navigation, and under its pro- visfons many articles of commerce are admitted free of duty from one country to the other. On the free list are sugar, tobacco, fresh and preserved fruits, table wines, dried and preserved vegetables, preserved fish, cement, nearly all of the base metals, lumber, flour, etc. As soon as a copy of the treaty fell into the hands of the local exporters they saw at a glance that its provisions would work a serious injury to the Pacific Coast commerce of this country. San Francisco has enjoyed a good trade | with Chile and Ecuador, and the treaty mentioned will have the effect of killing it, especially in the line of flour, fruits and wines. The matter was taken up by the officers of the Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Assocfation, who sent to the Secretary of State at Washington a copy of the treaty and a long letter calling at- tention to the discrimination against the United States. The statistics given show that hundreds of barrels of flour and \\'llne have been exported to these coun- tries. The position taken is that the United States and California should have the same privileges in these countries as any nation, and the Secretary of State is re- quested to do all in his power to preserve United States interests in South America. Yesterday a meeting was held in the rooms of the association, which was at- tended by all of the local exporters, and the letter was indorsed. It was decided that a memorial be sent to the Secretary of State and the Pacific Coast represent- atives urging their speedy and earnest co-operation and action the correction of this injustice /to American commerce. A NEW TRIAL ORDERED. Judgment Reversed in a Valley Road Contract Case. The Supreme Court has reversed the de- clsion of the lower court in the case of A. V. Scanlan against the San Francisco | and San Joaquin Valley Railroad Com- | pany. The contractor brought the action to recover what he contended was the contract price of the construction of a | railway embankment. There was no con- | tention as to the amount of money due and the defendant stood ready to pay the | same, but the difference lay in the sults of the different measurements to the number of cubic feet the emban! ment contained, the price being on a basis of so much per cubic foot. In the lower as court the contractor was successful, but was the judgment Van Fleet, We would suggest that upon another trial of the case each side should put in evidence the measurements upon which any computa- | tlon offered by it is founded, unless such proof is waived by the other sid: £ the measurements are before the court, errors in computation can be corrected. * * * The Judgme: | versed and the cause rial. reversed by Justice ———————— WHITE EXONERATED. | No Charges Were Made Against the Spring Valley School’s Principal. Director Drucker of the Rules Commit- tee of the School Board called his com- mittee together vesterday afternoon to investigate Principal White of the Spring Valley School by one of his fair teachers. Both | parties to the case were subpenaed, but | the lady in the case declined to make any | charge: | the allegations that were made against him. Mr. White in his own behalf said that he denied absolutely any charges made aginst him and asked his ex-teach- | er to ‘declare publicly what she had against him. She said that she had no charges to make, and Chairman Drucker adjourned the meéeting without further in- quiry. ———————— | CAPTAIN MESSER’S CIGARS. Nine Hundred and Ninety Seized in His Stateroom on the Trans- port Scandia. Nine hundred and ninetv Manila cigars were found by customs searchers vester- day in the stateroom occupled by Captain Nat Messer on the Scandia. The captain had neglected ‘o inform the customs au- thorities that he had the cigars, and layed the first part of the Captain James 5. ‘Blaine act to perfection. But the ci- gars have been seized and will be sold unless the captain pays the duty on them, which will amount to about $75. The seizure is regarded as a joke on the captain, for he expressed indignation a day or two before that warriors should be obliged to pay duty on Christinas presents in their luggage, just as if they were mere shopkeepers. ———— Koenig's Generosity. A large number of hearts have been made glad during the holiday season by reason of the open-heartedness of Frank Koenig, the shoe-dealer at 122 Kearny street. He has distributed more than $60 pairs of shoes to the following charitable organizations in this city and Oakland: Maria Kip Orphanage, Armitage Orphan- age, Old Ladies’ Home, Children’s Ho: pital, San Francisco Benevolent Associa- tion,” San Francisco Boys’ Club Assocla- {lon, Boys' and Girls' Ald Society, The Needle-Work Guild, French Ladies’ Be- nevolent Society, German Ladies’ Benevo- lent Society, Preshyterian Mission, Ladles’ | Protective ‘and Relief Society, Ladies’ | Catholic Aid Society of Oakland, Catholic | Ladies’ Aid Society of San Francisco, and | the Salvation Army Home. —_———— Has Lost Its President. | The Labor Council met last night and | at once adjourned out of respect to the memory of Samuel L.
