THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1899 10 ; —e——— ALAMEDA COUNTY NEWS. PRISONERS D0 THAT WHICH 13 AST EXPECTED Examples of Charity From Rogues. IN HONCR OF A CANDIDATE VAIN SEARCH FOR A LOST PO- LITICAL PARTY. There Will Be No Reason to Com- plain if There Be a Repeti- tion of the Water Rate Scandals. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 208 Broadway, Feb. 5. I T were a preacher 1 think I should gelect my texts from the daily annals of life as they appear in the newspapers. Doubtless many excellent sermons were gelivered to-day to comfort-loving, intelli- gent congregations, but no subject dealt with could possibly e incident that occurred among that ele- ment gene considered so soclety is forced occasionally to restrain it of its personal freedom. The great Nazarene never presented a parable so thoroughly in accord with His own teachings. In the County Jall, during these bit- terly cold days, an injudicious—perhaps worse—printer was confined awalting trial on a charge of embezzling a printing press. If all the stories told by the wit- nesses be true, and I believe they are, Printer Homer should never have been arrested. The pre: the ownership of which is in doubt, was certainly used to print bogus lottery tickets, and after this nefarfous behavior had been carried on successfully for five years, ‘“the honor among thieves' disappeared and the printer, several months later, was thrown into jall. The merits of the case, how ever, cut no figure in th 8 except they act as an introduction. Homer has a wife and four little children, and with- out him to provide the daily br vation rapidly became their bill of fare. These circumstances were learned by the s and unworthy men who occupy eriff Rogers' cells and gar The Sheriff is allowed 20 cents a day for the maintenance of his prisoners, so their menu certainly has a limit. However, out of this amount, these prisoners denfed themselves a generous portion, for the benefit of that mother and four children. Men c: of nobility may be re not felons. If they were ny other place they should have their names printed in bold 1ype—a distinction now being monopolized by embezzlers, lators. An unfortunate wretch named Johnson was arrested for striving to warm the room where lay his sick child. Thfs un- happy father is out of work, has nothing to lve for but his little family, and while around looking for a job he old pickets, He thought of the at home, and the bitter blasts re blowing through his meager clothing prompted him to take a handful of the pickets. It was a crime and arrest followed. The criminal said he wood for a fire at home—a luxury he was not permitted to earn. ‘To-day a police sergeant told me that the s is true and _that the man was release word of honor to appear for trial when ordered to do so. He will certainly keep his word for a father will not desert his | sick child and besides its costs money for transportation, vigilant Constables keep ecagle eves on brakebeams and a starving ot walk fa If a load of wood be not dellvered to that home by the time this is printed I move that the matter be referred to the vagabonds and outcasts at the County Jail. I don’t want to convey the impression that there is any neglect of their responsibilities by the many charitable organizations of this city, for this is not true. I am not clandestinely throwing mud, but it is a possible pleas- ure to be able to record that even where the ethics of rel stematically man can ignored “‘a cup of cold water” is occasion- ally given unto ‘“one of the Jeast,” al- though not necessarily “in My name.” The Democratic party of this city has been converttd. It certainly has no ex- istence along former lines. Its recent con- vention was a revelation. Whoever heard of a Democratic convention in Alameda County without the need of six sergeants at arms? Last week there were not any, nor was there any need of any, which I8 the greater wonder. The platform said nothing about Bryan, 16 to 1, national ex- pansion or Senator White. It said less than the platform of the Municipal League, which is a purely reform Bbody. Although some Democrats are hoWling mad over the selection of a chairman of the committee of twenty-one, it was a fairly representative convention. Seth Mann, ex-chairman of the State Central Committee, was an active participant, and there were some significant vacancies on the floor, but it was not the same old ceed in interest an | low that | tar- | ank wreckers and legis- | wanted | on his | party. Just what it has been converted to is not apparent at this time, but the 13th of March will reveal the secret. C. D. Chichester of Golden Gate set an example to municipal candidates for office that cannot be too highly commended or too thoroughly followed. Mr. Chichester resigned from almost certain election as a Councilman because there was a very remote connection between himself and one of the officers of a corporation. He did not consider that at all at the time of his nomination, but when he realized that political enemies would use this informa- tion to fight his ticket, he withdrew rather than jeopardize his fellow-nomi- nees. It is to be hoped that nobody less conscientious than Mr. Chichester will be elected to fix water rates for this city. ‘Where is the Populist party of Oakland that four years ago elected a large bunch of county and city officials and threatened to take the lead in politics? Where are ex-City Attorney Piersol, ex-Sheriff White, ex-Treasurer Sanford, ex-School Superintendent Garlick, ex-Councilman Bassett and all the committeemen who | were once sought after by those of other parties? Three days ago, desiring some Populist information, I went to the usual haunts. First 1 went to the office of ex- Assemblyman Bretz, and found it desert- ed. Then I met Attorney J. B. then Judge Lticas and a dozen others. All had the same reply—knew nothing about the party. Judge Gibson was more blunt, “Old Abe's ideas are good enough for me,” he saild. Ex-Chief of Police Lloyd is unheard of in politics and is attending strictly to business. Ex-Fire Chief Fair is no longer heard from. Where are all those good Populists who read John L. Davie out of tue party? What has be- come of Rev. J. Goodenough, once candi- date for Mayor? Not one is known as a party worker at this time, and a political prophet has forecasted that ‘the party which cast enough votes to elect a Mayor four years ago will this year poll about 500. A few months ago J. V. Web- ster told me that there is no Populist party now, that it has gone after other | gods and that its principles need regen- eration. This view is not altogether ir- | rational. The names of all the candidates that will figure in the campaign are now be- | fore the public, and six weeks remain in which to sift the character of each and his motive for seeking office. Every voter knows that important measures will have to be dealt with, including water rates, and that an official will have an opportunity to play Judas to_ his con- stituents should he so desire. Should the | scandals of last spring be repeated, or should the reason for them exist, it will | be the fault of the voters. Apparently | there is to be no voting on party lines, and the {ssues are economy Or ex- travagance, progress or silurianism, hon- | esty or corruption, fidelity or trickery. These concern the city treasury, street improvements and fair water rates and taxes, and are in no way allled to im- | perfalism or the unlimited issue of paper | money. STUART W. BOOTH.

OAXLAND, Feb. 5.—An alarm was | turned in this afternoon for a small blaze | in the barber shop of John Tisch, in the | basement of the Central Bank building, | corner of Broadway and Fourteenth | streets.

His home is in Los Angeles. { There is considerable doubt as to whether he will be recommended for commitment. | He appeared to be perfectly rational this evening, and says his present trouble is | due to eplleptic fits, to which he is' sub- | ject more or less.

BERKELEY, Feb. 5—The university town proposes to get along without a chief of its fire department. This is the outcome of a convention of all the Berke- ley volunteer companies held at the Town Hall last night. The meeting was called at the instance of the Board of Trustees, who desired the firemen to nominate a chief of their own in the place of James Kenney, whose res- | ignation two months ago left the depart- ment without a head. Each company was represented at the convention by five del- egates. Unable to agree upon the name of any one candidate the convention be- | came unanimous in voting to have the po- sition of fire chief abolished altogether, as in the oplnion of most of the delegates the office is unnecessary. The firemen adopted a resolution where- by the foreman in each company is to act as chief at all fires within his own dis- trict. This resolution will be presented to the Board of Trustees at its next meet- ing, and in all probability approved by it. ————————— | Funeral of Fireman Colson. ALAMEDA, Feb. 5.—The remains of Edward F. 'Colson, the heroic fireman who lost his life in the-narrow-gauge train wreck last Tuesday night, were borne to the grave this afternoon, follow- ed by a host of friends and acquain- tances of the deceased. The services were held at the home of Mrs. Colson’s mother, 3109 Encinal ave- nue. James Monroe, Council No. 24, Junlor Order American Mechanics, had charge of the ceremonics. Rev. F. S. Brush delivered the funeral oration, in which he spoke of the many good qual- itles of the deccased. The pallbearers consisted of a train crew from the nar- row-gauge road, comprised of Gus Hotch- kiss, engineer; Fred Sykes, fireman; Lo- renzo Brink, conductor; B. A.

A LAMEDA, Feb. 5—Tom Smith,who was formerly employed in the Alameda street department as sewer inspector, fell from | the platform of the narrow gauge train last night as it was rounding the curve south of the oil works. He struck on the rock embankment and rolled into the ba: but was rescued in time to prevent drown- ng. ‘Wihen Smith was fished out of the water he was unconscious. He was taken to Park street station, where he remained for nearly an hour before a conveyance could be secured to take him to the R ce | iving Hospital in Oakland. The man's alp vas terribly lacerated and his right nearly torn off. He left the hos- pital this morning. He told the matron he knew nothing about the accident and could give no clear account of himself. —————— Miss Miller Laid to Rest. ALAMEDA, Feb. 5—The funeral of the late Mrs. Isadore R.

HE WILL HANDLE THE CROP ACTION BENEFITS UNION BANK DEPOSITORS. Defunct Savings Institution May Realize Something on the Shipper’s Heavy In- debtedness. Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, Feb. 5.—Rumors of fur- ther and more sensational develop- ments growing out of the collapse of the Union Savings Bank are being free- 1y circulated, and the San Jose public is on the edge of expectancy. Ex-Presi- dent Wright broadly hints at the culpa- bility of other officials of the bank, and it is being whispered about that when the true history of the failure is known the depositors and business men who have been trustingly confiding their money to the care of the wrecked in- stitution will be astounded by the reve- lations. People are already beginning to ask where all the ‘money went, and they are answering the question them- selves, but whether these answers are based on actual knowledge of or simply guessing at the real facts is something that cannot be determineéd at this par- ticular time. Ex-President Wright's reply to the published statement of the Bank Com- missioners has had the effect of brac- ing up his friends, who now declare that he is more sinned against than sinning and that hée will eventually emerge from the cloud of doubt that now envelopes all connected with the institution in an official capacity with a cleaner record than the majority of those who are now seeking to shift all the responsibility for the disaster on to his shoulders. It is probable the bank will realize something on the Howard indebtedness, although it is difficult to say whether the amount will materially affect the situation. The creditors of the specu- lative shipper who is alleged to have bled the gullible bankers for over $300,- 000 are mostly fruit-growers, and be- cause of the fact that Howard has been the backbone of the market for several years past, by reason of paying more than any other shipper for fruit, they are inclined to stand by him. They are confident they stand a better chance of getting the meoney due them by not pressing their claims at this time than by forcing him into insolvency, and Howard will be glven an opportunity to handle the vast quantity of prunes he now has on hand, which he undoubt- edly can do to better advntage than a receiver. A peculiar feature of the attachment of sixty carloads of prunes belonging to Howard by President T. R. Weaver of the Berryessa Fruit Company, which action was the signal for the closing of the bank’s doors, has just come to light. A few days before the attachment was levied Weaver, acting as an agent for Howard, offered 612 cents a pound for the prune crop of X. E. Burns. One carload of the fruit was brought to San Jose, when Howard announced that he did not care to make any pur- chases for the present. The prunes were subsequently disposed of to the Earl Company for 4% cents a pound. and a day or so later Weaver precipi- tated the bank crisis by attaching Howard’s property for $2000 due the Berryessa Fruit Exchange, of which he is president. Now the latter is as eager to let go as it then was to grab at something to secure its debt. and it is more than likely that the attachment will be released to-morrow. The at- tempt to form a syndicate to handle Howard’s fruit has fallen through and Howard probably will be allowed to complete his deals with Eastern brokers unmolested. The bank depositors will profit by this arrangement, as Howard has fully 150 carloads of prunes con- tracted for in the valley and a large amount in addition jin the hands of Eastern agents. He practically controls the market, and if his holdings were to be dumped on the market at this time the result could not fail to be disas- trous. A large amount of this fruit was assigned to the Union Savings Bank previous to the failure as securlty for advances of, cash made to Howard, but Just how much neither Howard nor the bank officials will say. The statement given ecirculation to the effect that certain officials of the bank were in “cahoots” with Howard. while plausible on its face in the light of recent developments, is not gener- ally accepted as true. It is said on good authority that the true story of the fajlure has not yet been told. and when it is the public is liable to be tredated to a surprise of the sensational order. ANCIENT ORDER OF FORESTERS. The Picnic Association of San Franclsco, at a largely attended meeting, decided that the picnic of the Foresters shall be on the 30th of May. High Court Deputies R. N. McLennan and Baillie paid a visit to Ceurt Kensing- ton, and were well received. A number of the members of that court who have or- ganized themselves into a minstrel com- pany have made arrangements to pay a visit to the court in Halfmoon Bay during the current month. C. E. Osgood, the financial secretary of Court Kensington, has been presented with a 320 smoking pipe in recognition of his excellent services to the court. Court Lincoln has appointed a com- mittee to amend the by-laws so that the dues shall be $1 25 instead of $1 per month, 80 as to create two classes, with benefits in proportion. It is proposed that mem- bers may belong to either class of benefit. This court recently secured a fine paint- ing of Lincoln, and has hung it in the meeting place. The union meeting of the courts of the city of Los Angeles last week was a gredt success, High Chief Ranger Boehm was the guest of the evening, and delivered an interesting address. Court Sherwood Initiated two candidates at its last held meeting. This court has made a financial gain of $100 during the past term. From the report of the auditors of Court Occidental, it appears that during the past quarter the order has made a net ggn of $400. This court has In excess of 000 in_bank and $1000 invested in the A.
