Oakland Office San Francisco Call 908 Broadway, Feb. 26. The comparatively paltry sum of $4000 is needed to prevent Oakland's high school from being closed for two months of this term, and there is a possibility that this sum may not be obtained by the | Board of Education. With a tax levy ab- normally high it i crowning infamy X\)J { an extravagant administrationthat an im- mense fortune should have been appro- priated to improve Lake Merritt and that a trifle should threaten such a calamity as would be the closing of the high school. This is a serious matter, striking at the | very root of that which has long been | Oakland’s greatest boast—her educational acilities. No one with a particle of civic pride would dream of having the report g0 out all over the West that Oakland had been forced to spoil one term in the high school course and delay the progress of its hundreds of puplls for an entire | half year for the sake of $4000, Yet there is apparently one Councilman so completely tied up to certain intere that he fails to see the matter in this lght. T man is Councilman Wood- | ward. Although it is proposed to put | sums aggregating over $120,000 into Lake Merritt and Cemetery Creek, Mr. Wood- | ward actually grew dramatic in his ef- forts to convince his fellow Councilmen | that the schemes around the lake should take precedence of education. This view is as farcical and illogical as certain w: ter-rate arguments not vet forgotten by | the public. Next Monday night there | should be such a protest on the part of presented to the City Council the closing of the h school [ will make such an infamous action | impossible. Postmaster Friend did not do something | & few weeks ago that he wished he had done, and the joke has been on htm ever since. About a month ago Mr. Friend, who is well advanced In years, | went for a long spin on his wheel. As he was passing a corner a friend of his halled him and tried to persuade him to take out an accident insurance polcy. The Post- master said he was making such good progress in cyclism that there was no need for any such precaution. Mr. Friend rode two blocks and something went wrong. He does not quite know even now | how it happened, but he has just paid a steep surgeon's bill for repairing two ribs. The morning after the acciaent, while stili writhing in pain. Mr. Friend received a huge bundle of correspondence. It was from his friend, the accident Insurance man, and was a feport of all the accidents that' had happened to the company’s cli- ents and the generous way in which the sufferers had been treated. All through the report were big red marks, and these all referred to accidents on bicycles. The Postmaster 1s now looking for that insur- | ance man, though whether have re- venge for ‘the joke or to provide for the | protection of his other ribs is not known. In East Oakland a well-known evan- gelist from New Jersey, J. Whitcomb Brougher, has been active for two weeks. | Last Sunday the evangelist brought a blush to the face of the pastor of the | Tenth-avenue Baptist Church and also to hundreds of the attendants in a manner they least expected. Mr. Brougher is up to date. There are no cobwebs on his frock coat. He was attempting to drive | home the necessity of placing faith, even where sight cannot aid it. To illustrate this the evangelist quietly asked every- body how many people would believe him if he told them something in good faith. Everybody, including the pastor and church officers, raised his hand. “That is very proper and pleasant, said the evangel Then he suddenly stamped the floor, shot out his right | hand with clenched fist and roared | dramatically. “There is $100 in that hand. How many of you believe it? " There was an instant’s silence, during which the speaker looked at the Rev, C. M. Hill, guprarinxedni{n dleaw. Precepter Vesper, rofessor Randall and a scor g le?dmg lights. ey n response to his query one little bo; held up his hand, while everybody el!{ thought the evangelist was a practiced hand at getting off a bluff. Without chang- ing his dramatic_attitude the evangelist opened his clenched fi: and the $100 dropped to the floor. Now,” he said, ‘that money Is going to take me back to New Jersey, where 1 shall tell my con- gregation how much falth an Oakland audience puts in a New Jersey evan- gelist.” The blushing scene followed. It is a matter of surprise to me that no Jegislator has ever attempted to secure an amendment to the Australian ballot law providing against that clearly illegal sys- tem of voting known as plumping. It is this Iniquitous practice that has often re- sulted in debauching the personnel of .Oakland’s City Council, and which bids falr to do it again. I do not see any more argument In favor of declaring a ballot fllegal because 2 man stamps one cross too many than if he refuse to stamp the necessary number. This of course only refers to those sections of the b marked ‘“Vote for two” or !:I'Loree cfilrl!iolf dates. In Oakland everybody should vote for four Councilmen at large. It has gen. erally been the practice for the viclous element to combine on two unworthy can- didates and vote for them to the exclu- slon of all others. This idea carried to an extremity would prevent the election of four Councilmen, presuming it to be possible that everybody who voted agreed o “plump” for two. There are more elec- tions in California requiring five officials than any other kind. That is to say, ev- ery school district and every town must vote to elect five Trustees. In districts where the vote is very small a sgore of | “plumpers” can upset the will of the ma- jority. There are some school districts in ‘Alameda County where fifty votes are not cast at an election of Trustees, and so long as a certain number of officers is necessary to complete a board it should be illegal to vote for less. Stnce last week John L. Davie has made the opening speech of his campaign. As anticipated by Mr. Snow, Mr. Davie has chosen the tax levy and a business ad- ministration of the city’s affairs as the basis of his campaign. Now that Mr. Snow has declared that there can be no other legal tax levy under the charter than $1, which contention was made by Mr. Davie four years ago, there is no thunder in this issue for either camp. It 18 a little early yet to compare the state- ments of the two leading candidates, for Mr. Snow’s speech a week ago was made before the Municipal League, and the meeting although public was announced eot being a candidates’ meeting. Next ok the Hepublicans will open the war, and Mr. Snow will doubtless settle all doupts as to where he stands on every w’i‘!;lte adminlstn%!un t‘o Whlfih oiklr.l.r% arewell on Ap PR AT AL r?ln:nt% Mr. Snow's figures, | evi | as wou! | convention | the City Hall.

Mr. Snow docs not presume to o outside of his jurisdiction to advise the Council what to do or what not to do. But he declares without equivocation that if all the plans and schemes now provided for by contracts, ordinances and resolu- tions be carried out, the city's creditors will suffer enormous losses.

Insignifi- cant as the circumstance may be, it has opened my eyes until 1 almost feel sym- individuals, who, having no tangible means of subsistence, grasp at any political straw that s wafted their way in_the hope that it will produce immunity from starvation and jectment. It i8 surprising how many “friends” a candidate can find. Not mere- well-wishers, but fricnds who are will- ing to put their hands in their pockets, or somebody else’s pockets, “if you should need a ilt!lc mone % There is no at- tempt at bribery, not at all. It is'merely suggested in a friendly way that such a competitor is making a lightning canvass and that somebody must be putting up for him, and that consequently it would be nothing but right to help you “just a lit- tle.” Neither can it be said that in the ne: would be expected to return the gift, but in the event of success, God help that candidate’s reputation if it should be to the interest of such *“friends” to use im for some scandalous scheme. Ordinary people have no idea of the many elements that compose a commun- ity until they have a brush with politics. All kinds of elements are introduced into a political campaign, no matter how in- significant it may be, for the purpose of furthering the interests of such elements. “Would vou close saloons on Sunday “Would ‘you close them altogether “Would you reduce the liquor license? “Would you raise it?"’ are a few of the questions floating in the ai ing to the answers given biock of votes is half promised. Nothing is done verg definitely, nor in such a manner 1d give a man a good OpPOr- tunity to produce hard facts before a grand jury. But such practices cannot help thinking it would be an exnerimental have nothing else on which to depend than the crumbs of politics. I cannot help thinking it would be an experimental policy to put a newspaper man in the city government. In May Osakland will entertain thou- {5 | sands of Christian Endeavor delegates to | thelr State convention, and it is to_be | hoped that the entertainment will be of as gratifying a nature as that tendered to the World's Endeavorers two years ago. It is a pity that the Supervisors could not appropriate more than $20 toward the entertainment fund, for any money spent in such a manner returns many fold to the community. There are in Oakland now several families of the most desirable kind who came to California at the time of the international Christian Endeavor convention. They brought their little fortunes with them, settled down and are to-day a part of Oakland. I have doubt that similar circumstances exist in every city in California. At the comin ‘he delegates will attend from all corners of the State, and as transportation inducements wiil be of fered, many will be attracted to this city. Oakland does not have too tunities to show its enterpr e to proclalm to California that there are better recommendations for this growing city than the record of notoriously pad local government. STUART W. BOOTH. SAD ENDING OF A BOY'S HUNTING TRIP CHRIS MILLER DIES FROM GUN- SHOT WOUNDS. Fatally Wounded by the Accidental Discharge of His Gun and Dies Soon After. OAKLAND, Feb. 26.—Christian Miller, aged 16 years, and the sole support of his mother, Mrs. A. L. Miller of Blossom street, Fruitvale, died at the Recelving Hospital to-night at 11 o’clock from terri- ble injuries sustained through the acci- dental discharge of his gun while out in a boat hunting in the creek this morning. Young Miller was alone at the time, and it is supposed that he was in the act of lifting his gun when the trigger struck against a cleat in the bottom of the boat, discharging one barrel. The charge tore away the flesh of the right forearm and also shattered the bones of the foot. His agonizing cries were heard by an- other hunter named Gilligan, who towed the boat to the foot of Grove street, and with the assistance of Detective Quigley and an expressman conveyed the injured hunter to the Recelving Hospital. Drs. Stratton, Jordan, Rowe and Horn were immediately summoned, but deferred per- forming an operation, as Miller was too weak irom loss of blood to stand the shock. Once during the afternoon the lad re- gained consciousness and recognized his mother, who had been immediately sum- moned to his bedside. A gentle press of the uninjured hand and he again became unconscious and remained so until death. “Christian was too good for this world and they wanted him in the other,” mur- mured the heart-broken mother, who sank beside the deathbed, sadly bemoaning her loss. Deceased was a native of Oregon. He was a boy of exemplary habits and the idol of his mother. He had been stopping at Shafter’'s wood yard at the foot of Jeffer- son street, where he was employed, for some time. It is sald his father deserted the family some time ago and is believed to be in Alaska. ’%Am RATE ORDINANCE. Cleverly Disguised Measure Will .e Introduced at To-Night's Session. OAKLAND, Feb. 2.—At to-morrow night's meeting of the City Council, un- less the present programme miscarries, an ordinance will be introduced fixing water tes for the next fiscal year. It Is not Fortain that the necessary six votes can be obtained to insure its passage. This ordinance will come ostensibly from the water committée, four members of which are of the “Solld Six.”, It will be a cleverly arranged affair, purporting to re- duce rates for very small houses, but will, in reality, so it is claimed, give the water monopoly a big increase of income. The five members of the Council, who oppose inflated rates, will, it is sald,. also introduce an ordinance practically the sameé as_that passed in 1897, and which is based on the most thorough investigation ever made by a City Council Two weeks ago The Call stated that documentary evidence was in existence which pointed to corruption so conclu- sively that it might be impossible for the monopoly to control its six votes. There will probably be a lively meeting of the Councll ¢n aceount of the existing uncertainty. As usual, Councilman ‘Woodward, who is a candidate for re-elec- tion, seems to be the pivot on which everything depends. e —————— OPERATION CAUSED DEATH. Autopsy Shows That Miss Annie X.

Alameda Office S8an Francisco Call, 1428 Park street, Feb. 26. A young Portuguese glving the name of | Frank Smith was lodged in the City | Prison about 2 o'clock this morning on a | charge of highway robbery. Deputy | Sheriff Quinlan, the arresting officer, had | a desperate struggle with his prisoner before he succeeded in subduing him. Shortly before noon to-day, while prep- arations were bemng made to remove Smith to the County Jail, he made a bold dash for liberty, and gave the officers a lively chase through the corridors of tne | City” Hall before he was cornered, and | then he had to be clubbed into insensi- | bility before he could be handcuffed. | Soren Paulsen, a Fruitvale dairyman, was the victim of the alleged footpad, | While driving along Park avenue toward lameda about 1 o'clock this morning, he was stopped at a point about 100 ysards uth of the broad-gauge raiiroad cross- ing by a couple of men, who commanded | him to climb down off’the seat of s firaxon: Paulsen lost no time in obeying, and hi movements were somewhat hastened by the appearance of a couple of The highwaymen relieved Paulsen of §7 in cash and a pocket knif {They then ordered him to head for Oak- and. ‘Lhe dairyman was able in the bright | moonlight to get a good look at his as- sailants. He informed Deputy Sheriff Quinlan’ of officer a description of which led to t time later. Quinian ran across his man just as he was leaving a saloon near the tidal canal bridge.

When the prisoner was searched Paulsen’s knife and part of the stolen coln was iound on Paulsen swore to a_complaint before Justice Larue of East Oakland this morn. ing, charging Smith with highway rob- bery.

Being Sunday, the doors to the main entrance were closed, trapped. Sheriff Rogers an guarded the exits to the hall, while Quin- jan and Sergeant Schumacher went up after Smith. He was found crouching near the first landing, intending to make a run by the officers as they came up the stairs. They surmised what the man was up to and ordered him to surrender. Instead of obeying he ran toward the front doors d attempted to break through the glass. Seeing Sheriff Rogers and Officer Gunn on the outside he turned and led the officers in a race to the upper story of the build- ing and down the corridor to the City Clerk’s office. This was the end of his run, and appreciating that he was cor; nered he ba )f(ed up against the wall and squared away to do battle with his pur. suers. Quinlan and Schumacher attempted to close in on him, but his handy props kept them at a fe distance. Finally it was found necessary to use a club on the man before he could be subdued, and he was practically insensible when' the officers | Succeeded in handcuffing him. It is believed that the prisoner is a des- perate crook. He is a hard-looking cus. tomer, and no one in this vicinity appears to know him. His partner in the hold-up is still at large. ALAMEDA BABY ALMOST | | LITTLE ROY GREENOUGH'S HAIR-RAISING RIDE. Urged on a Runaway With a Whip, but a Calamity Is Averted by . a Cyclist. Alameda Office San Francisco Call, 1428 Park street, Feb. 26. Roy Greenough, a curly-headed dare- devil baby, 5 years of age, drove a spirited horse the length of Alameda to-day, and while the people who witnessed the mad race shuddered at the thought of the baby's probable fate, he smiled, shouted with glee, and holding the reins in one of his tiny hands, occupied the other lashing the horse's back with the whip. The horse and its youthful driver dashed along Encinal avénue, passed the nar- row-gauge trains and traversed cross streets without colliding with anytning and kept on the lively run until a ven- turesome wheelman overtook the outfit, and, irabmng the horse by the bridie, Dbrought it to a standstill. The animal was covered with foam from its long run and was all but used up. The rig belonged to W. E. Bryan of ‘West Alameda. He had loaned it to his daughter, Mrs. J. R. Morris, and her nlece, Miss Eva Sharp, to drive to the Christian Church on Park avenue. It was tied in front of the house of worship when Baby Greenough strolled along and climb- ed into the carriage. He thought he would “play horse” while the owners were attending divine service. He took hold of the reins, but as the horse did not pay much_attention to his style of handling the ribbons, he pulled the whip from the socket and gave the animal a sharp cut across the back. With a lunge forward it broke the hitching strap and started along Park avenue at a breakneck speed. —_————— Insisted on a Drive.

J. J, VALENTINE SPEAKS AGAINST ANNEXATION Says We Do Not Need the Philippines. IS CRITICIZED EXPANSION LORD BERESFO-D'S ADVICE NOT TRUSTWORTHY. Speaker Declares That “Yellow Jour- nalism” Is One of the Evils Fostered by the Late War. BERKELEY, Feb. 26.—Imperial De- mocracy Is an ill-advised policy, conceived in ignorance, fraught with dangers, backed by sophistical argu- ments and prompted by questionable mo- tives—such is the view of J. J. Valentine, president of the Wells-Fargo Express Company. It was the substance of a very forcible lecture delivered before a large audience in the First Congregational Church on Dana street to-night. Mr. Valentine entitled his address “Im- perial Democracy—The Annexation of the Philippines,” and listeners for their indulgence for express- ing opinions somewhat at variance with the trend of popular political ideas, held | their attention closely for over an hour. He quoted largely from carefully com- plled statistics and views of eminent au- thorities, weaving them into the argument which formed his discourse. “That colonization has heretofore been unsuccessful,” the speaker began, ‘is seen from the fact that three-fourths of the people engaged in colonial service are worn out in five years. The disastrous ef- g@fitl (;f tl;(;'pl(‘n{'_cllmates weakens and de- ilitates the white race, rendering 1 unfit for active service. i are a failure, Spain’s possessions have completely ruined the mother country; sickness, squalor, misery and debt is all they have to show for the greed of con- quest. 4 “It has taken the race a million years to'rise from the level of beasts to men; it took just fifteen minutes for men to fall to the level of beasts when the lust of war swept over the nation last summer. That war developed from four sources—yellow journalism and hysteria, vengeance and ferocity, militarism and despotism, igno+ rance, ambition and greed. The contemp- tibility of its origin has recently been brought to light by state documents which show that a few ds before the declara- tion of hostilitles Spain had ceded prac- tically all that we have since galned by bloodshed, and that had we been forbear- Ing, the force of words would have done | what swords were called upon to do. for the flag of Spaln would have come down without so much as the report of a sin- gle gun. Nevertheless we have the-herit- age of our strife, and now we propose to carry the work of infamy one step fur- ther by inaugurating a policy of despotic mlnlunlzntlom the annexation of the Philip- pines. “Notwithstanding Lord Beresford to the contrary, the islands can never be a sub- ject of interest to our people. They be- jong to Asia and can never be made an integral part of the United States. Lord Beresford is an English royaliist, and car- | rying his principles out we should under- mine our Government merely to attract the attention of European monarchs and join in the groveling, grabbing contest which they are carrying on. We might adopt_imperialism, but would that be in | accordance with representative govern- ment?" Mr, Valentine here took occasion to dwell at some length upen the unconsti- tutional consequences which, he declared, would follow such a course as Philippine annexation. He stated also that the country was as yet quite unfit and still more unprepared to attempt such an undertaking. Turning to commercial ad- vantages, he continued: “It is & mistaken notion that commer- cial growth follows territorial expansion: that the acquisition of land in the Orient s going to swell the volume of our trade England, France and Germany in their colonial history have demonstrate this. Their export trade is rapidly fal ing off; ours is as rapidly increasing. Why don’t their colonies prevent this Be- cause such a_notion is contrary to all the laws of trade. That trade follows the flag is an absurd notion. born of popular jingoism. Our commercial position is as- sured without grabbing the land of alien peoples. “Besid if we need territory in the Orient, why not conquer Korea and so establish a base of trade which shall be | somewhere near the center of distribu- tlon along the Asiatic coast? What earthly use can the Philippines be to us situated as they are, miles and miles away from the southernmost center of European trade in Asia. No distribution, practically, goes on south of Hongkong, vet we expect commercial advantages of a permanent kind from Manila. “In conclusion, the course which we are facing is quite devold of anything like na- tional glory. What glory is there in fur- nishing thousands of soldiers, when we know that all this vast expenditure of money must be paid in the end by taxing the people? With the experience of other colonizing countries before us, with the despicable origin of our expansion policy, with imperfalism and all its consequences facing us. with no commercial benefits likely to follow, taken together with our racial unfitness for the work, where is either the advantage or the glory that we expect to reap?”’ WILL BOYCOTT THE “H0O0D00” LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERS AND FIREMEN RE- FUSE TO ENTER THE CAB. Will Petition the Division Superin- tendent to Retire the Unlucky Engine From Service. ALAMEDA, Feb. 25.—'“Hoodoo” engine No. 19, the death-dealing machine of the narrow-gauge road, will never turn an- other wheel unless run by a crew who have less regard for their lives than any of the englneers or firemen now employed on the local division of the road. The bloody record of the engine has filled the railroad men with fear, and there is a presentiment among them '‘that whoever pulls the throttle on the “Hoodoo” or oc- cupies a place in the cab is doomed. Since Engineer Jonas and Fireman Colson lost their lives by the wrecking of the locomotive at Second-avenue station the locomotive has been at the Newark shops undergoing repairs. In a few days it will be ready for service again, and will be sent out over the ralls, probably to add new victims to its list, provided a crew to man it can be secured. The engineers and firemen of the local division have combined against the ma- chine. Acting for what they consider their own protection they have pledged them- selves to have nothing to do with the “Hoodoo.” Their reasons will be =at forth in a petition which will be presented to the division superintendent requesting him not to put the engine back in the local service. 3 Almost from the time of its first run over the narrow-gauge road No. 19 was known among the employes of the com- pany as the “hoodoo.” It has been a continual source of annoyance.
