A CAUCUS OF THE DELEGATES SEVERAL OFFICES MAY BE GIVEN MORE HELP. Many of the Incumbents Already Propose Lobbying to Effect Their Pur- pose. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Jan. 17. Next Monday evening the question of augmenting the cost of the county gov- ernment will be considered by the Alame- da legislative delegation in the Capitol building. Last night the delegation held a cau- | cus and decided to send a notice to the Alameda County officials and all who may be interested in the matter to attend a meeting in room 14 of the Capitol bufld- ing next Monday evening. The legislators have set aside this time so as to hear ar- guments for and against the employment of more deputies. Much comment is now being made upon the fact that all the county officials who took office a couple of weeks ago were elected with the full knowledge that the force on January 1 of this year. Only two years ago the Alameda County officials Wwent to Sacramento and were largely in- strumental in the framing of the new act. Now it is declared that its operation will work a hardship on several of the de- partments and that more helfl is required. While there is no doubt that the gen- eral spirit of the legislators is in accord- ance with the practice of economy, it is probable that some of the departments may be granted an extra deputy, al- though there is hardly an official who will not strive to add to the cost of his de- partment. The County Auditor's office it is co!;- s given to it under the act. {s is proved by the fact that ex-Auditor Whidden al- ‘ways attended personally to the duties of his office and found it necessary to have two or three deputies, which he had to pay out of his appropriation. It is a pretty good argument that no official would employ more help than is absolute- Iy necessary when he could keep for him- self all of his appropriation that he was not forced to pay out. The new act al- lows the Auditor but two deputies, and another is necessary. Another office which is not dealt fairly with by the act is the Treasurer's office. Treasurers have always paid two de) ufi u s work themselves. The new act al- lows but one deputy to the County Treas- urer and this is not enough. Outside of these two exceptions there appears to be no reason why any other changes should be made in the county government act in regard to counties of this class. Already may of the county officials have gone to Sacramento to commence their work.

In regard to the sewers which eripty therein plans have been already drawn by our chief engineer, James L. Drum, to carry them to the bay on piles. This matter has been under his direct attention and will be carried out in the course of three or four months. Mr. Fair during his life time agreed to construct the sewers and this was intended to be done ever since the gap in the wall was closed up. The engi- neers state that the pond, which is fourteen feet in depth in some plakes, rises and falls with the tide, and yester- day it was lowered an inch. to make the land productive at the“earliest possible date. We have spent nearly a million dollars in those improvements and it is our intention ‘We have the interests of the city at heart and we are not desirous of maintaining anything which will be inimical to those interests or to the public health.” The health officials have taken steps to have the nuisance abated, but without much hope of immediate suc- cess. On Friday Health Officer Gallwey sent formal notice to Mr. Neil, representing the Fair estate, to the effect that something must be done in the matter, afd-afterward accompanied Mr. Neil and an engineer to the scene, where the best methods of remedying the nuisance were discussed. It was agreed that an outlet to tidewater must -be made, but no especial alacrity to make the necessary reconstruction of sewers was evinced by Mr. Neil Lake Merritt has been commenced. The first work done was on the east side of the lake, where a shallow was deepened in order to permit the mooring of a barge to a temporary wharf. The x-nu;ll pumped out went to fill in the land which the late Henrg D. Bacon has deeded to the city. The dredger has a capacity of about 5000 yards each twenty-four hours. —_———————— McCOMB’'S SAD CASE. An Authori.y on Penélog‘y Again to Be Committed to an Asylum. OAKLAND, Jan. 17.—George John Mc- Comb, son of the late General McComb, ex-Warden of Folsom Prison, was ex- amined for insanity to-day and will again be committed to an asylum. About seven years ago and again in 1895 McComb was treated at Agnews for mental infirmity. Last night he became very violent, as he appeared in the streets of Temescal half dressed. At the Receiv- ing Hospifal it became necessary to strap him down until he could barely move. This morning, however, his frenzy sub- sided and he appeared quiet, answering all questions intelligently. McComb, who is now 38 years of age, served as deputy under his father at Fol- som. He wrote a. treatise on ?enology. of which he made a deep study, and his close applicotion in that direction is sup- posed to be responsible for his present mental infirmity. —_—————— Race Horses Mortgaged. OAKLAND, Jan. 17.—A chattel mort- gaxe has been recorded where-bg Fremont loan borrows $1150 from Cash Sloan, giv- ing as security the mortgage on three racehorses—Dare I, Princess Blazes and Charmante. Cash Sloan has in turn as- signed the mortgage to his brother, James Tod Sloan, the jockey who has gained fame here and in England. Cash is also a jockey. BIRD-NESTERS WILL BE HALED INTO COURT EL NIDO MEMBERS SUED FOR AN OLD DEBT. They Have Tried to Evade the Issue on Demurrer, but Their Success Has Not Been Assured. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Jan. 17. The Mability of the stockholders of the late lamented El Nido Club of Alameda will be tested in the Superior Court. EIl Nido, as the term in Spanish signifies, is a bird’s nest. In this particular instance it was a nest or cozy nook in the encinal city where nightly congregated many of Alameda’s most prominent and respected citizens to while away a few hours with the pasteboards and sip nectar and corn- julce. The club was incorporated under the laws of the State, but was adjudged insolvent August 3, 1897, at which time the indebtedness mounted to $1207 20. I. P. Allen was appointed receiver, and on September 1, 1897, a dividend was de- clared by this officer, and a distribution made pro rata to creditors of $241 44, leav- ing a balance due the latter of $965 76. hortly thereafter Assignee Allen brought” suit in Justice Morris’ court for the recovery of $965 76 and costs, joining sixty-four members as defendants, and asking judgment in the sum of $15 09 against each of these individual share- holders. The case was continued from time to time and only a few days ago came up on demurrer before Justice Mor- ris, Judge Marcus P. Wiggin represent- ing the defendants. The demurrer set forth that the complaint was insufficient in facts; that it was ambiguous and did not state whether plaintiffs’ alleged cause of action was founded on claims prior or subsequent to August 3, 1897, Judge Wiggin, in arguing on the demur- rer, cited section 322 of the Civil Code, under which this action was brought and | which is as follows: “The liability of each stockholder is determined by the amount of stock or shares owned by him at the time the debt or liability is incurred.” Moreover, Judge Wiggin argued that the complaint contained no allegation of the time when any debt of the EI'Nido Club was incurred, hence the insufficiency of facts to constitute a good cause. Justice of the Peace Morris entertained the same view and the arguments of Da- vis & Davis, for plaintiff, could not change him. He accordingly sustained the demurrer, from which judgment As- signee Allen to-day filed his appeal. When Allen originally brought suft the affalr created much surprise and consid- erable consternation, for among the six- ty-four defendants and members of EI Nido were many of Alameda’s most prom- inent and rt‘ss\?l‘led citizens, business men and practitioners of the higher pro- fessions, as a list of those who put in the demurrer above mentioned will show; the others sued are now resting on thejr oars, awaiting a final determination of the issues In the Superior Court. These are, together with their vocations, as fol- lows: C. E. Elliott, insurance; E. Minor Smith, City Assessor; A. J. Van Voorhies druggist: A. F. St. Sure, City Recorde: J. B. Lanktree, School Director; H. P. Moreal, real estate dealer; W. R. Poy- zer, City Engineer; W. F. Schulte, City Trustee; D. W. Martin, ex-Supervisor; T. G. Daniells, editor; Henry Severing, bank president. —_————— Hebrew Ladies Elect Officers. ALAMEDA, Jan. 17.—The semi-annual election of the Hebrew Ladies’ Endeavor Soclety of Alameda was held last Thurs- day, resulng in the selection of the fol- | lowing officers: Mrs. R. C.

THE CALL IN DEMAND. Newsdealers Doi;é a Thriving Busi- ness at Redding. REDDING, Jan. 17.—No more Calls; all out,” has been the stereotyped reply of the news agent here for a week past. There have been stacks of the other San Francisco morning papers otiil unsold, but not a single copy of The Call. The rush was particularly pronoanced on Sundsy evening. The other papers have yatrons here—patrons from force of habit —but fer some time back it hias been the invarjable rule that in order to t the news at once the Chronicle and amin- er teaders have been forced to buy The Cail. The Call's news from the State capital is particularly sought. The policy of U raper with reference to the fight for United States Senator is applauded by Kepublicans, who do not inake a lusi- ness of rolitics. The incomparable news service of The Call and tha stranxth and atrictiern of its editorial - deoarunent iave forced it into the most comimand- ing pes't*or ever occupled by a Califor- nian rew. pe s —— PIONEER MINISTER DEAD. SANTA ROSA, Jan. 17.—Rev. Albert F. ‘White, LL.D., a pioneer Presbyterian minister of this State, died here this af- ternoon. He was pastor of the First Presbyterian churches of Oakland (1852- §), Carson City (1862-71), San Leandro 1872-76) and Los Angeles (1876-82). He was an eminent scholar and noted as an au- thor and writer; a native of Sullivan County, Indiana, and born on June 1, 1819. The funeral will occur from the First Presbyterian Church in this city on Thursday. e California Postmasters.

Mackinder, St. Helena. ———————— Edison tells how he started on his wonderful career of an inventor in next Sunday’s Call. . 1899 TO TRANSPORT HOME THE GALLANT FIRST A CITIZENS’ MEMORIAL TO THE PRESIDENT. Copies of the Petition Will Be Posted at Different Places in the City for Signatures. The general and widespreading desire to relieve the soldiers of the First Regi- ment of California Infantry, U. 8. V from service and bring them home to be mustered out culminated in a public meeting of citizens yesterday at the Russ House. This gathering, which numbered about 300 persons, was called to order by Charles W. Moores. A warm interest was manifested in the matter, and it was the spirit of the meeting that the regiment fitst in the field and first in the con- quered city of Manila has performed its whole duty, and as troops mustered in since the California citizen volunteers en- listed are being sent home, there is no reason why the First Regiment of this State should be kept on duty. The following petition was adopted, and | copies posted at 703 Market street, 1 Powell street, the Russ House and in the business offices of The Call and of the other dally city newspapers, where the; awalt the signatures of those who wis] the boys ordered home: To the President of the United States and the Secretary of War: Whereas, ‘The First Regiment of California Infantry of United States Volunteers were the first troops to leave the United States for a| forelgn port during the war with Spain, having left San Francisco, May 25, 1838, and have been continuously in ervice away from home longer than any other volunteer regiment, except the First Oregon Regiment, which went out with | the First California Regiment, many detained in the service at great sacrifice to their personal and business interests, and and whereas, whereas, long detention in tropical climate is [§ undermining the health and spirits of many of our best young men who gave thelr ser- vices so cheerfully to their country when hos- tilities were actually pending.

REDWOOD CITY, Jan. 17.—The Trus- tees of Redwood City met in regular ses- sion last night and took action in the mat- ter of installing an incandescent electric light plant, to be run in conjunction with | system of arc | the present municipal lights. The Trustees, after a careful re- view of the situation, decided that for about $4000 they could place an extra dynamo at the water works and supply the residents of the town with electric lights in their places of business and in residences.
