12 N THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, JANUARY 28, 1899. ALAMEDA COUNTY NEWS. WILLIE WAS BEATEN BLUE- AND BLACK Mrs. Corte Blames a Teacher. REPORTS TO THE POLICE \ = PRINCIPAL GREENMAN USED A HEAVY STRAP. The Mother Says She Condoned & Similar Offense of a Teacher Some Months Ago. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, %8 Broadway, Jan. 27. Mrs. Corte of Brooklyn Township called on the Chief of Police and the County Superintendent of Schools to-day, exhib- iting numerous black and blue bruises on her 10-year-old boy, as proof of a se- vere beating she declares he received from cipal Greenman of the Lockwood hool. According to Mrs. Corte's story, | there is pressing need for an investiga- tion of the methods in vogue in the Lock- wood School for punishing children. | “This is the second time my boy has| severely beaten,” sald Mrs. Corte. a former occasion he was beaten by omstock, and when I went to the school and made complaint the teacher caid she was very sorry and asked me not to ny more about it. She said that she ot know she had so much | muscle and could mark a boy so much | by beating him. She came to my house and was so sorry that I regretted having | shown the neighbors the marks on the | b esterday my boy came home with a dozen bruises on him, which had been | inflicted by Principal Greenman with a heavy leather strap. His limbs were so inflamed that 1 had to bathe him and attend to him all night, and this morn- ing he could hardly put his right foor to the ground. 1 went to the principal and he admits beating the boy, and was | rprised when he saw_how Willie is co ered with bruis I nave placed the matter in the hands of Chief Fletcher | ed me to see Superintepdent | and he advi: Crawford. Mr. Crawford said that if the circumstances are as represented, it | would be a case for prosecution, and | 10 also inspected the boy, | dge Larue has advised to swear out a warrant | for Greenman's arrest. The whole trouble arose from my boy | picking up a pebble in the school yard. order_to prevent the boys throwing rocks a rule has been passed that there shall be severe punishment for even pick- z up a pebble.

THE LEAGUE IS A DULY AUTHORIZED BODY ITS CANDIDATES WILL COME UP | <OR ELECTION. | Gossip of the Tickets—Approaching Convention of Independent Re- publicans and Democrats. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Jan. 27. There is no foundation for any of the reports that the ticket of the Municipal Ieague will not be recorded or that the league must circulate a petition to get on the ballot. The matter s brought to the attention of Cary Howard, presi- dent of the league, and he at once stated that all such talk is sheer nonsense. The jdea probably started because of the fact that two years ago the Municipal League did not hold an independent convention, but made up a ticket of indorsements. "Those who are not )fimramo to the league started the story that by so doing they | lost their identity as a party and would | therefore have to start out again. This point was decided in the case of the general election last fall, and is the same in principle as the status of the fusion ticket. The Municipal League can- didates hold large votes, and although there is nothing of record to show how | much of the vote was the result of the ; Municipal League indorsements and how much was due to a party nomination, it has been decided that either party must get the credit for it. | Some doubt has been raised as to the | eligibility of Henry Menges, who has been nominated by the Republicans for School | Director from the Sixth Ward.- The law | declares that School Directors must be | heads of families, and in Menges’ regis- | tration certificate, sworn to by him last August, he says he is not the head of a household. He is the proprietor of ‘a barber shop, and has been in business here for some vears. | Council; n Brosnahan will candidate for re-clection_on any pacte | ticket or independently. He is chairman | of the Democratic committee charged | with the duty of nominating a convention, | and is therefore barred from being a can- | didate at his party convention, It 1 derstood that Councilman W atkinson will| l:v‘ an independent candidate from the Sixth Ward, that Henneberry will try to be elected from the First Ward, and | that Heitman will be an independent can- date for Councilman at large. ! Much interest is belng shown in the ap- | proaching convention to_be held next Monday and Tuesday by the Independent | Republicans and Democrats, respectively. "Fhere is considerable doubt as to the | candidates who will be nominateéd. It | seems to be understood that ex-Mayor | Davie will be a candidate for Mayor, though | whether he will run independently or be indorsed at either or both of the conven- tions, Is not known. Judge Fred V. Wood may go before the Independent convention either andidate for Mayor of City At~ torney. generally conceded that City It Engineer Clement will be nominated by the Democrats. It is possible also that he may receive the support of the Independ. ents. | ————— “Christian Science and Why I\ Broke Away From It,” by Josephine Curtis Woodbury, in next Sunday’s | Call. | —_—— Father Serda’s Fair. | OAKLAND, Jan. 2.—Fath s | fair, recently’ heid in Sacred f{oarslergifi' for ‘the benefit of the church rek | fund, proved a decided financia) ounoing 1 o The 'receipts were as follows: St. Ao thony's booth, $454 6); Sacred Heart | booth, $369 8; Immaculate Conception | booth, $679 10; Holy Family hooth, $42 60: 8t.

Are San Francisco’s Cotillons Accountable for the Oakland Buds' Undoing? > i o | T ‘ AL SRS et oy == AKLAND has gone and done it. A scandal or so to a cit; credit does not necessarily mean that the town is lost. But a faux pas. It is all on account of San Francisco. That is the refrain the Oakland matrons sing. “‘Our little girls learned to drink punch in San Francisco. We only serve cold water at our affairs. San Francisco is a bad, wicked city. We are goingto pray for her on Sunday in our churches.” So the country cousin smites the city cousin’s other cheek, and all the metropolitan hospitality is repaid with suburban ingratitude. If the Oakland innocent first acquired the taste for punch here who are the guilty accountable ones? At the dancing classes such a very weak brew is served that the patronesses in the mildest spirit of apology always refer to it as lemonade. A bud might drink up all the “punch” at the Fortnightly dance and nothing more serious result than the ill feeling of the other hot, thirsty members. At the Cinderellas the drink is a bit stronger, but a bias step is only possible at the rate of a three-gallon capacity, rather beyond the most thirsty dancer. The only places where the Oakland belle may have had enough beverage to render her sight weak and her step unsteady are at the cotillons—and rarely there! Over in the City of Churches the society men have taken up the discussion of the punch sub- ject. The men are more conservative than the ladies and none has com- mitted himself otherwise than by advocating moderation. Only one Oak- land man has a word of suggestion to make and his name is T. F. Garrity. Says the gentleman: “I believe that when a girl dances she is entitled to some sort of stimulant. She needs it as a matter of health. By all means give the girls the punch bowl. Don't take it away from them. But look out what you put in it. The stimulant should be very gentle, like those to whom it is administered. If I had a daughter I think I should prefer that she took her stimulant in the shape of milk or malted milk. If that is not to be obtained, then I should say that some other delicate, mild stimulant is permissible, and, in fact, as I said at the outset, necessary.” D R R S e e g A R SR S o R S S R S Y OUR HOURS LABOR FOR ONE MEAL Charity Woodyard a Failure.

But for the prompt action of the firemen the business section of the city would have been severely scorched this morning. A gasoline stove exploded in a house in the rear of the Smith block, corner of Park street and Rallroad avenue, scat- tering the burning fluid in all directions. A high north wind was blowing and for a time the flames threatened to communi- cate with the row of frame stores on Park street. The fire department respond- ed promptly and checked the fire before it gained great headway. The damaged building was occupied by Japanese, one of whom was severely burned about the hands by the explosion. The sécond alarm turned in was for a blaze in a dwelling at 1164 Broadway, caused by children playing with matches. The damage was nominal. —_— e Alameda News Notes. ALAMEDA, Jan. 2.—Alameda Council No. 24, Y. M. L., tendered a reception last evening to its friends at Lafayette Hall. The committee in charge of the affair co; sisted of P. A. Kearney, G. P. Wright, Hugh Gallagher, A. F. St. Sure and George H. Burkhart. The directors of the Encinal Recreation Club have decided to do away with the initiation fee charged new members. The ladies of the First Methodist Church gave an “experience social” this evening at the church parlors. TRAMP INDUSTRY HAS SUSTAINED A BAD BLOW CONSTABLES’ CLAIMS ARE CUT DOWN THIRTY PER CENT. NEW ORDER ISSUED BY THE MANAGEMENT. Relief Can Only Be Afforded if the Public Will Patronize the Yard of the Asso- ciation. .Oakland Office San Francisco Call, %08 Broadway, Jan. 27. Tt i somewhat unusual for men em- ployed to work for their meals to go on strike, but such is the situation at the woodvard maintained by the Associated Charities. The situation is peculiarly unfortunate, for the woodyard has done a good work since it was established, but for lack of patronage its usefulness appears to be al- most ended. This morning it was decided to increase the amount of blocks to be chopped for a 10-cent meal from thirty to forty-five. When the unfortunates who have been glad to chop thirty blocks of wood—which takes about two hours—ap- plied at the woodyard for the dally op- portunity to satisfy hunger, they were in- formed of the increase in the amount of labor necessary to obtain a dime ticket at a restaurant. There was much dis- ppointment, some indignation and a little Queer Methods Employed in Haling Vagrants to and From Jail to Make Mileage. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Jan. 27. The erstwhile lucrative occupation of certain Constables in the tramp industry has sustained a blow at the hands of County Expert E. B. Bullock and District Attorney J. J. Allen that will very mate- rially curtail their monthly income, and will probably result in the “weary Willies of the road” enjoying their dalliance in the fields of vagrancy unmolested hence- forth. In short County Expert Bullock has cut down certain Constables’ bills very materially on the advice of District Attorney Allen, owing to charges for mileage that are considered illegal; and in some cases irregularities were found, the discovery of which will result in a big saving to the coum\ Responding to questions touching upon the methods employed by some Con- s:xab}efl Expert Bulldck to-day received the following written’ opinion District Attorney. 5 Sl D “In reply to your queries will say that where a Constable makes an arrest with a warrant his fees are provided for in the Statutes 1895, page 212, by the following provisions: For executing warrant of ar- rest, §1; for each mile necessarily traveled within his county in executing a 'warrant of arrest, both in going and returning from place of arrest, 15 cents. “If an arrest is made without a warrant the following provisions of the act apply: For arresting and bringing him into court, §1; for transporting prisoners to the Coun. ty Jail, the actual cost of such transpor- 5 8r the foregotng opinton C nder the foregoing opinion Coun = ert Bullock hgs.c{lt pdow‘n “m:y lfilfu rom 25 to 30 per cent, those flled by Con- stable C.

The order increasing the amount of wood to be chopped is partly due to the dling are now in the yards, for which no purchaser can be found, and partly to the fact that a number of n exist who, so long as they are able to chop enough wood. to earn a meal and a bed, will not seek any other means of employment. As the woodyard was Intended only as a temporary employment agency, this sys- tem led to the accumulation of wood, and consequently blocked proceedings. 'Mrs. Kelly, the superintendent of the charities, says that a good deal of the patronage in the kindling wood business is given to the students’ woodyard under the impression that customers are thereby helping uni- versity students to go through college. She says this is not true and that the students are not benefited. If the chari- ties’ woodyard obtained a fair share of patronage it would be able to continue its work and not raise the amount of labor required from each applicant. Grand Jury Investigation. OAKLAND, Jan. 27.—A committee of the Grand Jury visited the Receiving Hospi- tal to-day on an inquisitorial tour. Par- ticular attention was directed to the in- sane ward, and Keeper Keating and Matron Miss McDonald were very closely questioned regarding the assault upon the I\ A tramp arrested in Brooklyn would first| 00 Con Cal & Va..1 45(400 Utah ... be taken to the County Jail and register- ed, for which mileage was charged. The arrest would be without a warrant. of course, for the name of the tramp is a secondary matter with the eager Con- stables. The next day the prisoner would be taken before Justice Quinn at San andro, more mileage accruing, to en- able the Constable to swear to a com- plaint and secure a warrant. In many cases this warrant would be served on the prisoner in court, the simple walk around a table in the courtroom constitut- ing a fraction of a mile, which is taken as a whole mile. The prisoner’s arraignment would necessitate another haling from Jall to court, and then in many cases the charge would be dismissed. In paring down some af Weldon's claims Expert Bullock reduced one flled last August, from 352 to $36 20; one in Septem- ber was cut from $36 to $29; another in the same month from $36 40 to $25 50; an Octo- ber claim of $15 was pared down $4; an- other filed last month for business done in Quinn’s court was curtailed from $17 15 to §1540, and still another in the same month for similar business done_before Justice Clift was reduced from $78 30 to $47 30. A claim covering a period from Oc- tober 27 to November 30 amounting to $98 70 was knocked down to $68 9. In two instances Expert Bullock found that John Doe, supposed to have been arrested last August, had not been registered at the County Jail, yet $1 35 mileage had been Jch‘xi\rged in each case both to and from ail. X BURIED WITHOUT A FRIEND TO MOURN MISS RICH’S ESTATE WAS JUST ONE DIME. Her Animals Carted to the Pound and Her Late House Declared a Nuisance. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Jan. 2T. The poundman took two wagon-loads of dogs, cats and goats from the dirty house in Temescal In which Miss E. . _Rich lived and died. The house is unspeakably filthy, and was invaded by Public Ad- ministrator Hawes and Officer McKinley. The Administrator found little estate ex- cept some old clothes that indicated the woman had once been tolerably well dressed. In a trunk there was a com- plete set of baby clothes, which probably suggests a secret that died with the old malid. This afternoon the remains of the eccentric woman were interred at the ex- ense of the county, as all her miserable elongings are worth nothing. One dime was found by Mr. Hawes among the rubbish, and a worthless horse was given to a neighbor to save it from golng to the pound. Many of the dogs escaped, and as the goats were valueless the neighbors have been permitted to take them. The house will probably be de- clared a nuisance by the Board of Health until the owner shall appear and have it cleansed. —_——————— THE STOCK MARKET. There was a long line of securitles dealt in on the Bond Exchange vesterday. Better prices were pald for several sugar stocks and Giant Powder. Equitable Gas declined to $9. Mining stocks stood about the same. The directors of the Bullion-Beck Mining Company of Utah have decided to pass the dividend for January. At the recently held annual meeting of the Providence Mining Company of Nevada City the following were “elected directors: Peter Tautphaus, John Buttgenbach, F. Boeckmann, Dr. E. F.
