The | position of the factory owners was at | st neutral, but the prospect of being | vithout any railroad connection at all | threw their influence on the side of granting the franchise. Petition _and | counter-petition accordingly poured in | upon the Board of Trustees, who with- | held action until last night.

In reaching down for a handful of sand Winters shoved his right hand into the tar bucket and fell senseless to the roof. The entire skin_and portions of flesh dropped from the burned member. He was treated at the Recelving Hospital by Steward Bor- chert and Dr. Keating. Risi repeated | Winters' act almost immediately after- ward, but his injuries were not so serious.

Police Declare That There Is Not a Forbidden Game in the City. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Jan. 28. The periodical war gainst gambling and nickel-in-the-slot machines has broken out again and police ofticers are busy raiding crap games, inspecting gambling establishments and appropriating nickel- in-the-slot machines which are not run legally. Five well-known saloon keepers were arrested last night with their machines. This morning, in-the police court, they each forfeited $20 bail rather than be bothered with a trial, and were allowed to depart with thetr machines. The law permits the machine to be run with checks, but not with nickels, and in fu- ture checks will be used. The recent decision of the local court that keno is not a game prohibited by law has somewhat relieved the situation. In all parts of town keno is being openly played, and has taken the place of craps, faro and other forbidden games. Chief Fletcher now positively declares that there is not a.forbidden game run- ning in town and that Chinese lotteries have been absolutely driven out. In scores of saloons nickel-in-the-slot ma- chines and keno engage the attention of large crowds and apparently there is more gambling than ever before, because it is not considered any longer necessary to play under cover. But everybody is certain that nothing but keno is being played. : scores of saloons nickel-in-the-slot ma- —————————— PICKING BRIDGE FLAWS. C. E. Kinard, Nemesis of Constables and Justices, on a New Tack. OAKLAND, Jan. 28—C. E. Kinard, who | has proved a Nemesis to Constables and Justices of the Peace, is now on a new tack. He claims to have discovered ir- regularities in the contract and work of Cotton Bros. on the reconstructed Alice- street bridge, which he will submit to the Grand Jury.’ Kinard has been going over the ptans and specifications carefully, se- curing data upon which to base his charges. He says, for instance, that lighter nails or spikes were used than'the specifications called for, and where five stringers were ordered but two were placed, and that in work calling for polts simple spikes were used. He also as- serts that the last payment was made by the Supervisors on January 3, when the reconstructed bridge was accepted on De- cember 12 last, and the law requires that thirty-five days elapse between the time of acceptance and last payment. Kinard is carrying on a similar crusade on the construction of the new Webster- | street bridge. —e————— WANT CHANGE OF VENUE. Accused Murde’fe;s'of Lillian Brandes Fear an Alameda County Jury. OAKLAND, Jan. 28.—William A.

Brandes says he has not been getting a square deal and never will as long as he is in this county. his troubles were worked up by enemies in Berkeley and that he does not fear the result of a fair trial.

HORATIO FINISHED SECOND SAM McKEEVER NOSED OUT BY | SURVIVOR. A Day of Extremely Close Finishes . at Oakland—Hohenzollern Beat Torsida—O0’Connell Only Winning Favorite. The finishes at Oakland yesterday were close and exciting enough ‘to have unstrung the . nerves of the cold and clammy Napoleon if that great ruler were still an inhabitant of this earthly sphere. On four different occasions did the winner get the verdict by a nose, and great beads of perspira- tion as large as the three gilded balls in front of a pawnbroker's establishment stood out on the brow of many a specu- lator. It was also a day of disaster for the talent, for many a well-meant one finished back in the ruck and dust. As the curtain was about to drop old O'Con- nell won at odds of 1 to 2—the solitary choice to score. The result of the Follansbee handicap— valued at $1250, at seven furlongs—was one of the many surpris Seven faced the issue, with ‘*‘Skeet: Martin's mount, Maud Ferguson, favorite in the betting. The fllly opened ac 8 to.5, fcedmz to 3 to 1. She showed. no spe€d whatever, greatly perplexing thg stable as well a the public. Libertine, assigned 119 pounds and ridden by Henry Shields, | caught Horatio a few yards from the wire and in a desperate drive won by a nose. Gauntlet, the Burns & Waterhouse entry, and plainly the best, was third. The winner, at one time as good as 15 to 1, closed at 6. Mary Black, carrying top weight, 120 pounds, was never a con- tender. Perhaps the saddest blow of all was the defeat of San McKeever by Survivor. Previous to this event, the fifth, the for- mer colt changed hands, running in the colors of Fred Foster. A terrific plunge was made on him, the Montana bred youngster closing at 7 to 10 in the ring. 'he start was one of Ferguson's worst efforts. Cash Sloan had the mount on the good thing, and when the barrier was released, not thinking it a go, started to pull up. The recall flag was not brougnt into requisition, and McKgever got much the worst of it. Senora Caesar was left altogether. Miss Marion then led Sur- vivor for six furlongs, when Martin, on the latter, took command, and in a fierce drive breasted the tape a nose in front of the favorite in 1:40%. Still another very expensive picce of | guessing for the crowd was the downfall of Torsida. “Daggie” Smith’s good mare | was heavily backed to beat Hohenzollern | in the mile purse run, and failed. Spen- cer, on the Elmwood Farm entry, ook matters very coolly, just getting up in | time to beat Torsida over the line by a | nose in 1:40 flat. P plexi ad ‘The talent received a solar s at the very outset. Eleven good, and in- long scramble, with Roadwarmer and Rey» Hooker the mostly backed. After a long delay at the post Roadwarmer broke third to a_good send-off, leading to the stretch. Then ‘“‘Skeets” Martin, back in sixth place with Goal Runner, mowed the leaders down, winning in a drive from the 15 to 1 chance Juva. The winner was once 10 to 1 in the betting. The colors of Marcus Daly were again borne to the front by Ella Boland in_the kindergarten -event. The daughter of Sam Lucas, with Spencer up, closed second choice in the ring, and in a gruelling fin- ish just nosed out Lomond, one of the Burns & Waterhouse entries. Innovator was third, The final six furlong sprint proved easy for O'Connell. Going to the post a 1 to 2 favorite, the old fellow won galloping from Zamar II oA Track Notes. Garnet Ferguson was greatly disap- pointed over the showing made by his filly, Maud Ferguson. He said after the race he knows she can beat Sam Me- Keever, and was at a loss to account for her run. The Australian plunger and bookfnaker. Hill, was reported to have bet $5000 on Sam McKeever. It was a hard wager to lose. Sam McKeever ran in'the colors of Fred Foster yesterday. Previous to his race Garnet Ferguson was offered and accept- ed $5000 for the son of Sam Lucas. Garnet urchased the colt at one of Marcus aly’s sales in Butte last summer, paying $500" for the youngster. The victory of Ellen Boland was a very opular one, and *he veteran trainer, Dan ennison, was congratulated on all sides. Dan Fountain received a caution from the stand yesterday. The judges do not like the in_and out style of running d)%— played by Juva, and so notified the filly’s owner. OAKLAND NAVY RACES. San Antonio Estuary Will Be Dotted With White-Winged Craft. To the ordinary spectator, unskilled in the calculation of sail area, load water line and time allowance, a yacht race has hitherto been an almost unintelligible af- fair. It is the only contest of speed in which the first past the winning post, though guilty of no fouling or other im- propriety, may be adjudged absolutely last in the race. Then the elaborate divi- sion into classes according to sailing length and rig breeds confusion in the spectator’s mind, which confusion is still further augmented by the fact that yachts appear to start when they please, and not at a given signal, as is usual in all other sports. ‘With a \!?e)w to rendering yacht racing more_interesting and generally intelligl- ble the Oakland Navy adopts what ls known as the ‘‘one-gun start”; that is, all boats start at the signal, and the first to cross the starting line gains the advan- tage. The first to cross the winning line is declared the winner, the times of all the boats being taken from the signal gun, without regard to the time at which the boat may actually have crossed the starting line. To-day is the first of a series of such races to be held every month during the present year. At 12:55 p. m. an American flag will be hoisted as a preparatory signal on the piazza of the house of the Alameda Boat Club on San Antenio Estuary. At1p. m. the stars and stripes will be hauled down, a red flag displayed, and the starting gun fired. After all the boats have crossed the start- ing line the red flag will be hauled down and the national emblem run up. A white flag will denote the postponement or abandonment of the race. The course will be between six and seven miles in length and triangular in shape. Craft of any rig, build, size, measurement, length or sail area may en- ter, and will be divided into two classes— the red and the white—according to “mean length.”” The red class will include all boats having a ‘‘mean length” cf eighteen feet or less, and the white class will comprise all others. ‘‘Mean length" is half the length over all and on the water line. The committeemen in whose charge the races will be are Vice Commodore H. C. Hinckley, Charles Stewart, Jules Hart- man, P. W. Hurndall and C. L. Taylor Jr. Jules Hartman is measurer and R. R.
