It is re- | ported that the company can no longer | depend on six votes to pass the ordinance | it desires to have passed in order to | strengthen the stock which has just been | thrown on the market by the consolida- tion of the two companies. As usual Major Woodward is the cen- | tral figure, and either the major has ex- perienced a change of heart or else he is acting a very diplomatic part. He has | lately been circulating cards containing campaign statements. One of these state- ments is that ““water rates should be ad- | justed, modified and reduced.” When asked if he meant that which he haad| printed, the major_replied that such was his platform and on those issues he in. tended to go before the people. The major unfortunately has set a bad precedéent by which to judge himself. It will be re- red that prior to the last test made | sincerity he gave to The Call that | : stringle: interview which | brought him _such publicity.

There is another view being taken of this matter. It is said that in order to save Woodward the monopoly has brought sufficient influence to bear on the other five members of the solid six to | defer fixing the rates until after the elec- tion. This is rather a clever scheme, and | taken in connection with Woodward's most recent campaign utterances is caus- ing a great deal of talk. % In the ifth Ward. which the major | would represent, live most of the million- | aires of the city, and Woodward’'s petl- {ion contains most of their names. ~ He declares they are solid for him and is the | most confident man in Oakland regarding his_election. 3 The water monopol this time de- sires a good water rate, but it does not | desire a row.

He Cannot Expect to Take Califor- nia’s Star Players East During the Thanksgiving Season. BERKELEY, Feb. 28.—The members of the Athletic Assoclation of the University of California are greatly concerned over the action of a local athlete now in the East, who they claim is perpetrating a series of gross misrepresentations upon Eastern athletic clubs. The person in question is Howard P. Taylor, well known in San Francisco. The grievance of which the college men complain is that Taylor is representing himself as the organizer of an All-California football team, to be formed next season, and that he has al- ready arranged for matches with prom- inent football clubs there, to be played between October 28 and Christmas. No objection could be made against an organization of this kind were it not for the fact that its self-styled organizer has announced informally the members of the team proposed, and they include six men from California, eight from Stanford, with the balance from local clubs. From the dates which Taylor has ar- ranged it can be seen that he expects to have all of California and Stanford's star players in the East during Thanksgiving keason. This unwarranted assumption is now the subject of serious consideration among the officers of the U. C. Athletic Assocfation. A special meeting was held to-day, at which President Reno Hutch- inson, Professor George C. Edwards and Football Manager Irwin J. Muma were present. They all three agreed that the matter was sufficiently urgent to be made the subject of formal action by the asso- tion “bafore. the. misunderstanding. on the part of the Eastern men can go any further. There seems to be no doubt that Taylor is really doing what the U. C. men com- plain of, for from two letters recently r celved from the East the details of his plans have been made known. One from Wolf Ransome, formerly captain of the team, and now coach of the Du. quesne Club, asks that his team be given a place upon the schedule El‘npusod, An- other from Taylor to Pete Smith asks the latter to use his influence in securing the college men. Numerous cuttings from astern papers have also been forwarded, showing the impression to be prevalent that the organization of the All-Cali- fornia team is a settled thing. \X\ihen seen to-night Manager Muma sald: I wish you would say that this busi. ness of Taylor's is all a fake. Tt Is very serious fake, teo, for the idea pre- ails in the East that our men will give up the time-honored Thanksgiving game in order to show their prowess against Yale and Harvard. Nothing could be more misrepresenting than that. We never had any intention of going outside the State, and it would be absurd for us to think of doing o, especially during the time that Taylor's schedule calls for. I am constantly recelving letters making inquirifes about this very thing. The of- ficers of the Athletic Association have talked it over and they intend now to nd out official notices stating that the “alifornia men can take no part in suci an Eastern trip. . They deem this neces- sary to insure the success of our next sea- son here on the coast.” MRS. GOOBY - HORSEWHIPS ATTORNEY D. MITCHELL HOLDS HIM RESPONSIBLE FOR LOSS OF PROPERTY. Irate Woman Is Ejected From Her Victim’s Office and Remains on Guard at the Door. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 98 Broadway, Feb. 28. Attorney D. Mitchell had an anxious hour this afternoon. During that time he received a horsewhipping from an drate woman, and for the balance of that period he was besieged in his office on Broadway, near Eighth, with Mrs. Gooby posted out- side his door. Mrs. Gooby thinks she has a grievance against Attorney Mitchell. During the past five years the Goobys have had all | sorts of trouble, including a divorce, 1nd | their property has to a great extent dis- Mrs. Gooby blames it all on appeared Mitchell, although she does not Attorne; | give any facts upon which she bases her charge. The merits of the case, however, cut no figure in this afternoon’s pantomime. Mrs, Gooby went-to the attorney's office | ang proceeded to berate him in langupage loud and long. Mitchell tried to pacify her, but she would not be pacified. She pro- duced a rawhide, and made a few cuts over his shoulders, after which Mitchell sent for a police officer and Mrs. Gooby was_ejected into the hall. Here the offi- cer’s jurisdiction ended, as he had no au- thority to put her out of the bullding. Mrs. Gooby was accommodated with a chair, and for a long time she addressed a score of real estate men on the issues of the Gooby campaign. Mr. Mitchell sat inside and did not show his head, but every time a paper rustled in his office the lady cried out: “If you come out here 1 will knock your face off,” and after having delivered herself of this little peech she would take out her handker- chief and very properly have a little cry, Attorney Mitchell says that all his busi- ness with Mrs. Gooby is perfectly straight and declares that he will be forced to have her arrested if she attempts to re- peat the annoyance of to-day. Mrs. Gooby declares that the attorney 1s responsible to_her for $3000. Toward evening some of the tenants in !

An Oakland Mother Made Happy by Her Son’s Return. OAKLAND, Feb. 28.—Mrs. Barrett of West Oakland to-day recelved a telegram from her son, George Barrett, whom she has mourned as dead for the past four- teen months, announcing that he is alive and well at Portland, Or., and would ar- rive home in a few days. The story of ‘the bitter suspense is one seldom chronicled. For fourteen months the ag}ed mother had not heard from her son. The fact is he has been in an Ore- gon prison, convicted of manslaughter. Barrett had killed a man unamed Frank Williams, a gambier, tough and outlaw. He was accused of murder, bus the jur: found him guilty of manslaughter. How- ever, -he finally Secured a new trial and a few days ago was acquitted, the jury be ing convinced that he killed Willlams purely in self-defense. Smarting under the disgrace of the aw- ful charge, Barrett wrote to his two sis- ters about his troubles, but implored them not to break the sad news to the mother. The sisters, faithful to their promise, Xept their aged mother in total ignorance of the facts. — e—————— Cochran Heard From. BERKELEY, Feb. 28—Irwin J. Muma. manager of the University of California football team, received a telegram to-day from Garrett' Cochran, which leads the U. C. Athletic Association to believe that the services of the coach can be obtained for next year. Thus far Cochran has not made an affirmative answer to the many inquiries sent him, but it is understood that negotiations are now pending be- tween him and Manager Muma and that some agreement will be reached very shortly. Cochran’s telegram was sent from Silver City, N. Mex. —_— e e———— Horace Van Sicklen’s Leg Broken. ALAMEDA, Feb. 28.—Horace. the five- year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. F. W.

Board Adopts Its Report and Then Refers Matter Back for an Inves- tigation of a Proposed New Site. A special meeting of the Board of Re- gents of the University of California was held in the Hopkins Institute of Art yes- terday afternoon for the purpose of re- celving the report of the buflding commit- tee on the plans for the construction of the new Wilmerding School of Industrial Arts. The report, signed by T. G. Phelps and Ernest A. Denicke, is as follows: Gentlemen: - Your committee on the Wil- merding School, to which was referred back for further consideration the report that your committee heretofore made relative to the fill- ing of the school lot and the construction of a buililng thereon, has again examined the whole matter and begs leave to amend the for- mer repori in regard to the filling of the lot at this time. Your committee does not desire to make any change in the building, excepting that the partition wall for protection against fire be made of brick instead of corrugated fron: but suggests that instead of placing the butlding on the grade of Mariposa street that it be placed twenty-five feet back of sald street, twenty feet from Kansas street and one story below grade. By so doing we can avold ail grading and filling at the present time. Aside from a small amount of excavatingsthat will have to be done where the buflding is to stand no work on the grounds will bave to be done at present. The engine room would be in the basement, and the building throughout as be- fore proposed. The grade on Mariposa street is such that an entrance from that street can be made at the east end of the building and engine room for the delivery of coal and ma- terial, while material to be ‘used on the upper floor can be taken in from Mariposa street. By adopting this plan the cost of much filling and the enormous walls for the foundation can be_avolded, saving fully $10,000. Your committee is of the opinion tbat the building will be quite as convenient for the uses of the school as it would be if elevated to the grade of the street, and although it will not look as well from the south, it will look better viewed from the city side. Director Schwartz is of the opinion that the lot can be graded by the pupils by the time the main building will be required with a very small outlay of money. Your committee presents the Plaster casts made by Director Schwartz from an accurate contour map. One as the lot now is, another showing the building in place, and another showing the lot as it would appear when graded The plans, in blue print, will be hung upon the walls of the Regents' room, and the speci- fications and estimates herewith inclosed. Accompanying th report was an esti- mate of the cost of the building accord- ing to the plan favored by the committee, together with specifications. This esti- Which would have to be increased $10,000 if the building were to be raised to grade, s as follows: Excavations, grading and filling...... .$ 1,000 Concrete foundations and floors and brick work .. S Carpenter work, mill work, staire, glass and hardware.. Cast and wrought iron work and fire escapes ...

Total ... .$16,861 The report of the committee was adopt- ed, as was alsq a resolution authorizing the letting of a contract to the lowest bid- der. The Regents then went into execu- tive seasion and “took u[) the matter of changing the proposed site of the school to a lot adjoining the Lick Schooi, sev- eral blocks distant from the present loca- tion. Regent Einstein was strongly in favor of pursuing this course, and after a long discussion the building committee was instructed to thoroughly investigate the advantages of making the proposed change and report at the next meeting, two wecks hence. By this action the adoption of the com- mittee’s report is practically nullified, and everylhing is at a standstill until the Yicn of a site is finally disposed of, ch wil! probably be at the next meet- AN OLD PLAY AND A NEW CONCERT Miss O’'Neil in *East Lynne " and Maurer and Wismer in In- strumental Novelties. They called it the “New East Lynne" at the California last night, but it was still a very silly and old-fashioned play and one that gave Miss Nance O'Neil and her company little or no chance for clever or sincere work. What there was to be made cut of the piece was perhaps accomplisned by the performers, and certainly Miss O'Neil won enthusiastic applause in several of the pathetic cli- maxes. She played the part of Lady Isa- belle in a straight melo-dramatic key, without any effort to make the character more human and logical than it really is, and the audience accepted it in that vein with apparent pleasure. No one laoked for real acting or real sentiment in “Bast Lynne.” Mr. Rankin was robustly good as the Lord Mountsevern and Mr. Carr was_delightfully malevolent as the arch Sir Francls, and Mr. Willard was impos- sibly bad as the saintly Archibald Car- lyle. Miss O il will appear to-night as Parthenia in “Ingomar.” The rest of the week will be devoted to the repertory that has already been announced. An interesting if rather prolonged con- cert was given in the Sherman & Clay Hall last mfm by two of the younger local musicians—Hother Wismer (vio- linist) and Fred Maurer Jr. (pianist). They were assisted by Frank M. Coffin, | who sang excellently the Arthur Sullivan settings to a group of Tennyson’s poems, The Instrumental numbers included Hardel's A minor sonata, Goldmark's concerto, op. 28, and Godard's concerto, op. 35—on the whole a bhackneyed pro- gramme played with good feeling and good sense.

WAR VETERANS AT BANQUET CAPTOR OF SANTIAGO GIVEN AN ENTHUSIASTIC WELCOME. He Addressed His Old Comrades and Feelingly Thanked Them for Their Cordial and Sincere Welcome. The reception extended by George H. Thomas Post No. 2, G. A. R., to Major General William R. Shafter and the offi- cers of the battle ship lowa at the Cali- fornia Hotel last evening was a most gratifying success, despite the fact that Captain Terry and his officers were not present. The committee of arrangements had in- vited the officers of the Iowa and up to the last moment they were expected. The banquet was delayed until after 9 o'clock, hoping they would arrive. Neither Cap- tain Terry nor any of his officers, how- ever, put in an appearance, and what was worse, they sent no excuse for their absence. It is thought by the members of the post that possibly Captain Terry and his officers did not receive their invitations, or that there was some misunderstand- ing as to the date of the reception. _ The banquet was held in, the main din- ing room of the hotel, which had been appropriately decorated for the occasfon with flags, bunting and flowers. General Shafter was attended by his two alds, Captains Plummer and McKittrick, while Major Edward Field was also present. Nearly 200 members of the post were in attendance. Colonel C. A. Sumner pre- sided at the banquet as toastmaster. During the banquet, and before the speeches, the occasion was enlivened by music furnished by an-orchestra and by several selections” which were rendered by the Plymouth Quartet. Prior to the speeches A. J. Vining intro- duced Colonel C. A. Summer as the pre- siding officer of the evening.. i Colonel Sumner stated that the object of the reception and banquet was for the purpose of extending a welcome to Major General Shafter. He stated that the post was glad to extend any Shafter, as he deserved it, in view of the past events of national history. This re- mark created wild enthusiasm and clearly showed that his auditors were men capa- ble of appreciating hard-won victories. He excoriated the yellow- press and its contemptible attempt to besmirch Generai Shafter's name, and said that nothing could lessen the high estéem in which he would be held by the veterans of the late and civil wars, as well as by every man who at heart possessed the true instincts of manhood. Horace Wilson delivered the address of welcome to General Shafter. His remarks were even, concise and polished. In speaking of the harsh criticism that has been heaped on General Shafter, he said: “This is an age of detraction, but to the veterans of four years’ hard fighting, who appreciate what you have done, the abuse of the envious counts for nothing.” In closing his remarks he said it was with the truest and most abiding affection that the -members of the post welcomed back to California General Shafter. General Shafter was next introduced. AS he rose from his seat he was accorded an ovation. In feeling terms he expressed his appreciation and heartfelt thanks for the cordial -welcome that had been ex- tended to him. General Shafter then said: “I am not going to defend the Santiago campaign.” Cries of “It does not need it were shouted from all sides. General Shafter then briefly outlined the dominant facts in the Santiago campaign. He was given the closest attention, and his remarks were frequently interrupted by cheers and applause. “The Army and Nav: was responded to by Major Field. In addition there were speeches by Seldon Sturgis, D. C. Smith, W. R. Parnell and W. R. Smedberg. LOCAL D_ENTISTS MEET AND BANQUET ACADEMY OF DENTAL SCIENCE IN SESSION. Dr. Van Orden Makes Some Unfavor- able Comments Upon the Disposi- tion of Certain Members to Seek Notoriety. The members of the San Francisco Academy of Dental Science held its regu- lar monthly meeting and banquet last evening at the Snreckels Rotisserie. Dr. Hart, president of the Academy, called the meeting to order and announced that nominations for officers to serve for the coming term were in order. Dr. Frank C. Pague was nominated for president, and as there were no other nominmations he was declared unanimously elected. Dr. Thomas Fletcher was elected secretary without orposmon. An excellent menu was then served, and while the members of the Academy ate, drank and made merry a hidden orchestra dispensed sweet music. At the conclusion of the dinner Dr. Van Orden read a very interesting paper enti- tled “Ethical Relation of the Dental Pro- fession to the Press.” In his paper the doctor commented freely upon the disposi- tion of certain members of, the dental pro- fession to rush into print 3t every oppor- tunity. Dr. Van Orden severely criticized this mode of getting notoriet The Academy has not as yet agreed upon a code of ethics covering’ this. point, and Dr. van Orden favored its doing so. When the doctor finished reading Dr. Pague ‘called tipon Drs. Cool, Merriman, Hart and Teague to say a few words on the subject. A warm discussion was pro- voked. The Academy, though only organized a short time, gives promise of developing into a healthy organization. Most of the prominent members of the dental profes- sion have already joined the society. — e ELVIA CROX’S DIVORCE. Says Mr. Seabrooke “Is an Incident That Was. Closed Long Ago.” Prima donna Elvia Crox protested in a high register when she was told last even- ing that a dispatch from New York said she had finally begun suit for an abSolute divorce from T.'Q. Seabrooke, her comic singer husband. “Why, I finished divorcing my one- time husband a year ago,” she said, “and there is no need of any more beginning along that line. It was an absolute di- vorce then, is now, and ever shall be.” ‘When the musical little lady was told that the dispatch said she had instruct- ed Attorney Ape Hummel to arrange for the taking of her testimony fn this city, and that the lawyer had the name of a fair co-respondent, she fairly shrieked a denial. 4 “T think this whole report is a scheme of Mr. Seabrooke to get a little advertis- ing,” she cried. “The papers haven't said much about him for some time.
