MULLER A REMARKABLE | EXPERT WITNESS. He Now Says That Lillian Brandes Died of Meningitis and He Thus Assists the Prose- cution. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, March 3. The straws at which the defense in the trial of Willlam A. Brandes, charged with the murder of his daughter, have been reaching are rapidly floating away on the tide of despair. | Another boomerang was developed at the trial to-day in the testimony of D H.

Oakland’ Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, March 3. There are two unhappy candidates. They cannot get a chance to make a speech, and while some of their friends try to persuade them that they are for- tunate, others take an opposite view of it. These two unhappy men are D, C. Hins- dale, the Municipal League nominee for Auditor, and L. J. Hardy, Municipal League candidate for Councilman at Jarge. These two men, not being on the regular Republican ticket, are out in the cold so far as campaigning is concerned. The Municipal League is making a cam- paign of literature, and in this manner, of course, Mr. Hinsdale and Mr. Hardy get thelr fair share of publicity. Every other candidate, except perhaps for a few minor offices, is on the Republican ticket, and as the party §s making a thorough and lively campaign, its' candidates are having all the opgortunl(y they want to get before the public. Mr. Hinsdale’s opponent is Arthur H. Breed, who was the very active chairman of the Republican Central Committee dur- ing the campaign last fall. Mr. Breed is anywhere and everywhere all day long on platforms, and wherever a coterie of voters can be found, and seems to be having everything his own way. .The only other active candidate is Captain Ed Hackett, and probably not half of the captain’s Democratic_friends know that he is on the ticket. He has not put out a card, is not making a single effort to- ward election and once declined to accept the nomination, but was induced to re- turn. Mr. Hinsdale’s friends are conse- quently forced to place their confidence in “the silent vote,” which is always the solace of candidates before election and a cause of speculation and often sorrow af- terward. L. J. Hardy Jr. has been a library trus- tee and is not unknown in politics; but he has an opponent in D. H. Welch from the same ward who has the great advantage of the Republican nomination and also of appearing at every Republican meeting. He is taking advantage of it, while his friend Hardy is getting in his work on fmprovement clubs, buttonholing and various other campaign tactics. The Mu- nicipal League will probably have a rally some time next week, but no date has yet been sent ou _—— Indorse the Government’s Plans. ALAMEDA, March 3.—The City Trus- tees have addressed a letter to Major W. i, Heuer, engineer in charge of the Oak- jan@ harbor improvements, indorsing the _Government’s plans for the bridges over the tidal canal. The construction of two bridges is strongly urged—ono at Fruit- vale avenue and the other at High street. Tt Ge recommended that the Fruitvale avenue bridge be bullt to accommodate both railroad and wagon traflic and as an evidence that this descflfflon of bridge s not dangerous reference is made to the Webster street structure, which was suc- cessfully used as a raflroad and highway bridge for over sixteen years. —_———e—————— Bargains in pictures, frames, | onyx hmv-‘-nd tables at Sanborn & Vail's, ¢ 1 | and promises. REJOICING [N ANNEXED TERRITORY School Children Are Happy. OF EDUCATION ASSURED ANXIETY ABOUT THE NEW CITY COUNCIL. After Being Tied Up for Nearly Two Years the Realty Market Feels the Effect Quickly. Osakland Office S8an Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, March 3. The settlement definitely of the legality of the annexation proceedings by which an enormous territory was added to the municipality of Oakland has already had a marked effect upon improvement in the new district. James T. Nafsmith, one of the prime movers in the annexation proceedings sald this morning that the re- moval of all doubt as to the rights of the school children of the district to attend the public schools of Oakland that have been conducted in the annexed district for eighteen months, has even in twenty-four hours been the cause of closing many land deals that have been pending, awaiting the Supreme Court decision. The number of school children added to the school census of Oakland by the an- nexation is as follows: Bay district, 637 Piedmont, 19; Peralta, 146; Temescal, 5 There has been considerable indecision re- garding prospective settlers in the new territory .on the score of school facilities but now the Oakland Board of Education, which s to be elected March 13, can un- reservedly take charge of education in the annex and place it on a level with the system now in vogue in Oakland. In ad- dition to these children, quite a number | of pupils who attend the high school and manuel training school are also as- sured of complete education in these cen- | ters. The annexed district is greatly interested now in the election of the new City Coun- cfl. This district has, of course, suffered in the way of improvements in comparison with the amount of taxes that was paid into Oakland’s treasury during the liti- | gation. They will now expect a few extra | appropriations during the next fiscal vear, and naturally are turning their attention to_those Councilmen and candidates for other offices who are likely to do most | for the annex. The ward will undoubt- edly return F. R. Girard as its Council- man, It is estimated that there are about 1500 voters in the new district who will vote at the coming election for the first time. There is considerable speculation as to the political complexion, consequently it is getting more than its share of oratory | acquired by _dev ARMSTRONG'S FAMILY SKELETON BROUGHT QUT Grave Charges Made by Aged Husband.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call, %8 Broadway, March 3. The existence of another well-developed family skeleton in the quiet town of Hay- wards was revealed to-day in a sensatlon- al suit in equity filed by Thomas C.

The very next day, according to the com- laint, the deeds were taken without the owledge or consent of plaintiff and re- corded. ' The alleged miserable existence of plaintiff is then related in the com- plaint as follows: “Since then the defendant has treated plaintiff with disrespect, cruelty, calling im a tramp, ordering him to leave the house and earn his own living; refusing him proper care and food; instigated the children to treat him with disrespect and goisomnia and prejudicing the mind of amuel P. Armstrong until he has fre- quently threatened to strike him. Within five days after the recording of the deeds defendant said to plaintur: ‘Get out of here, you old Joafer. I'll not support you, and calling him ‘an old Irish chaw’; also ‘a_whisky bum.’ " Continuing, the complaint alleges that the son accused the father with being drunk and not sick at all, and that in July last the daughter, Margaret C.

You are keeping other women. 1 know you are spending your money for another wo- man and are staying out late at nights with other women.” Plaintiff also avers that his wife ut- tered the following expression to neigh- bors: “Now, I've got my old fool just where 1 want him.

He also avers that since the recording of the deeds his tenants refused and still refuse to pay him rents, and that he is now old and feeble and unable to work. Plaintiff asks that the deeds be can- celed and that he be granted such other rell(;f as may seem meet and agreeable to equity. THOMAS A. SMITH PASSES AWAY Was a Prominent Pioneer of Alameda. ALAMEDA, March 3.—Thomas A. Smith, a ploneer of Alameda County and morning at bhis home, 2304 Buena Vista avenue. He was taken ill with pneumonia early in November, and later was at- tacked with dropsy. Hls death had been expected daily for nearly three months, and on several occasions the report had spread that he had passed away. Deceased was born at Sparta, Hancock County, Ga., April 6, 1830. California in 1850. For nearly two years he followed mining at Blg Oak Flat, Tuolumne County, when he returned to San Francisco and entered upon the study of law in the office of Sloan & Rhode: Failing health, however, forced him to abandon his chosen profession, and in 1853 he moved to Alameda. then known as the Encinal of San Antonjo. He engaged in farming until 1864, when he established the first general merchandise store in Ala- meda. He continued this until 1868, when he engaged in the real estate business, which he followed until he was stricken with his last sickness. Mr. Smith occupied many positions of public trust in Alameda County. In 1838 he was elected Justice of the Peace of Alameda Township, and during his incum- bency was chosen one of the last Asso- ciate Justices of the Court of Sessions. He was the first Treasurer of the town of Alameda, was clerk of the Town Trustees in 1879 and later was elected a member of that body. In 1876 he was elected Re- corder of Alameda County on the Demo- cratic ticket. Upon the death of City Treasurer N. W. Palmer in 1880 Mr. Smith was appointed to fill the unexpired term.

The Basket Ball Team Will Compete ‘With Stockton. BERKELEY, March 2.—The University basket ball team left this afternoon for Stockton to play a match game with the girls of the Stockton High School, sched- uled to come off to-morrow. It will be the third cont of the season in which the co-eds have taken part, they having already met’ the young ladies of s West’s school and of Mills College. In both cases the game was carried off by the blue and gold. It is understood, how- ever, that Stockton has an unusually good (?am for a high school, so that the coilege girls expect the game to be a closg one. California will line up as_folio Guards, Miss Alma Stockwell, Haworth, Miss Ella Stockwell; Miss A. Kelshaw, Miss E. Stoer, Miss A. Farno; centers, Miss 8. Hanscom, Miss G. Longmore, Miss L.

The list of can- didates in the field for manager and editor in chief was very small, only two men be- ing proposed for each office. Paul Sin sheimer and Walter Frickstad will contest the election for the honors of the editorial chair. For managing the financial part of the book the class will choose between T. H. Emerson and A. B. Tarpey. The election has been ordered for next Monday afternoon. A very successful entertainment was given In Shattuck Hall this evening under the auspices of the junfor class for the purpose of raising funds for 1900's Blue and Gold. The programme consisted of several well rendered musical numbers by members of the class and a stereopticon exhibition of University views by A. V. Lange. —_————————— TREPHINED HIS SKULL. Young Haanstr’lfinfle‘rgoes an Opera- tion and His Assailant’s Bail Is Raised. OAKLAND, March 3.—Harry Rogers, the driver for the Quaker doctors, who is charged with having battered young Fred Haanstra on the head with a revolver in a street riot last Wednesday, and who was yesterday released on $50 ball, is again in custody. His bail has been raised to $200 and a more serlous charge may be placed against him. This was done because young Haan- stra’s condition has proved more serious than was at first found when examined at the Receiving Hospital. The wound on the boy’s head was sewed up and he was sent home yesterday morning, but last night he was taken back to the hospital and Drs. Stratton, Horn and Rowe dis- covered a fracture of the skull and found it necessary to trephine the skull, which has now been successfully accomplished.

BULLDOZES A YOUNG MAN | THE COMMISSIONERS TO BE TOLD OF HIS CONDUCT. ; He Is Not Content With Browbeating Respectable Citizens, but Tries to Suppress Industrious Newsboys. Policeman Mulcahey, whose blundering methods form an interesting chapter in the book of errors of the Police Depart- ment, has once more demonstrated his unfitness for the position which he occu- pies. Not content with bulldozing respect- able citizens by refusing to allow them to stand in the vicinity of Eddy and Powell streets, this officious *“copper” has de- clared war against the newsboys who deal in transfers as an incentive to the | purchase of their papers. | Last evening a young man named George W. Coonev, who is employed at the Vulcan Iron Works, boarded a street car near where he is employed. He was given a transfer to the Market street line, and after alighting at Eddy street he was accosted by a colored newsboy, who asked him for the transfer. As Cooney intended to walit for a friend, he gave the transfer to the boy. The mighty Mulcahey wit- | nessed the act, and, walking over to the | colored boy, he demanded the transfer. Thinking that he intended to arr him, | the boy_ passed the transfer back to | Cooney. With an oath, Mulcahey snatched the transfer from Cooney’s hand and tore |it in pieces. Cooney attempted to ex. postulate with the officer, but the latter ordered him away, under penalty of being | given an_enforced ride in the patrol | wagon. Cooney afterward visited the Central station, where he told his story | to the officer in charge. To-day he in- tends to prefer charges against Mulcahey | with the Board of Police Commissioners. Sergeant Martin has been repeatedly told of Mulcahey's seemingly tyrannical methods, but for some reason he him to browbeat and humiliate respec- table citizens who happen to visit his beat. Several months ago Mulcahe; who boasts of his pull with Captain Wittman, while on his way home saw a boy look- ing at the number of a house. Convinced that he w: a burglar Mulcahey, always anxious to make a record, drew his re- volver and sneaking ug behind him or- dered him to throw up his hands. The boy becoming alarmed took to his heels, followed by the ‘“oprave” police- man. Faliling to overtake him Mulcah fired at the boy, the bullet fortunate | passing harmlessly over his head. Thro | ing up his arms the thoroughly frightened | boy dropped on his knees and begged the big policeman not to shoot again. Mul cahey took the boy to police headquarte where he established his identity and was allowed to go. Mulcahey was roundly scored at the time by Captain Wittman for his conduct. This Week’s Wasp.
