Oakland Office San Francisco Call, = 908 Broadway, March 16. San Leandro may soon be without an organized fire compan For twenty-four vears Union Hose Company No. 1 has been in existence and has done excellent work whenever its services were needed. It has saved the city thousands of dollars, but now that San Leandro is growing and a large canner: thought to be proper that there should be a Fire Department under the control of | the Board of Trustees. For all these years the firemen have paid an initiation fee and monthly dues to support their organization. A record shows that they have extinguished forty- nine fires and saved much property.

When the trial was resumed this morn- ing the defense first recalled Dr. A. H.| ‘Pratt, by whom they wished to prove that | the absence of a ligature mark on the | neck in the region of the “Adam’s apple” | is consistent with ante-mortem hanging. Dr. Crowley had declined to answer this, but after a considerable wrangle, Dr. Pratt said such a fact was found In’cases of ante-mortem hanging, though he | could not explain the reason. | A. H. Braunlich also testified this morn- He had known Brandes for eighteen | . . Though in his judgment the ac-| -d was rough in manner and speech, he always considered him ‘big-hearted.” | On one occasion, said witness, Mrs. | Brandes and Lillian had been searching in | ihe latter's trunk and when the mother | found a bottle she had said: “My God, | think?

On one occasion he visit- ed him at _his home on Golden Gate ave- nue, San Francisco, when Brandes intro- duced him to Mrs. Brandes. Objections to questions as to when Brandes married this woman and as to | what name Brandes went by at that time were sustained. Witness was also asked whether Brandes had not once been a witness in_his behalf in a divorce suit and whether he (Braunlich) was not the former husband of Mrs. May Godfrey, but Attorney Sawyer’s objectiong to these questions were sustained. The trial will be resumed to-gporrow morning and again it is given out that Mrs. Brandes will then testify. The st;ry of James R.

There | is on record the fact that on two occa- lons the City Trustees have granted the department the magnificent sum of $15. A few months ago the hose company re- quested the City Trustees to allow them $15 a year, but it was not granted, the board expressing a willingness to pay the fire company if the members were ap- pointed by the Trustees. This would, of course, take the Fire Department into politics, and San Leandro frowned on the proposition. The firemen now have on hand $400 worth of property, which they offer to sell to the city for 3200, and so far the Trustees have ignored this request. The board. has been advised by the City Attor- ney that the firemen can give the city no title to their property and that the city cannot, therefore, buy it. A statement issued by the firemen says: “If the property does not belong to the orgarization, to whom, then, does it be- long, tne firemen having paid for it? If it belongs to them, why can’t theéy give a title to it?” As the matter stands the outlook not very pleasant to property owners. MIGHT HAVE SAVED HER. Police and Health Officer Dunn In- dignant Over Untimely Death of Anna Brooke. OAKLAND, March 15—Mrs. H. Brooke and her surviving daughter, who were found sick and starving in the Oak- land House Sunday night, are greatly im- proved and in a fair way to recover. The daughter Anna, who died Sunday night, wa$ buried yesterday. The death cer- tificate, signed by Dr. J. J. Caldwell, who was called to attend the stricken family, gives the cause of death as “pneumonia, | with want and destitution as contributory and determining causes.” Dr. J. P. H. Dunn, the Health Officer, who first ministered to the needs and suf- | fering of the family, as well as the police, are indignant over the alleged negligence of the Associated Charities. They say that when the case was reported to Mrs. Kelley, the superintendent of the asso- clation, she declined to recognize the re- port outside of office hours. Incidentally Health Officer Dunn recom- mends the erection of a small city hos- pital for such emergency cases. ‘“‘Here was a life that could have been saved under favorable conditions,” said | Dr. Dunn to-day, referring to the death of Miss Brooke. “What was most needed Wwas a warm, sunny room and roper nourishment.’ It was not afforded this young woman and she died. At a small expenditure a suitable building could be put up and the city could not expend an equal amount, to better advantage.” —_— e BLIND HOME FINANCES. Board of Trade Requests the Legis- lature to Act. OAKLAND, March 15.—The Board of Trade held a meeting this morning and discussed the econdition of finances of the Blind Home at Temescal. Much dif- ference. of opinion exists as to the man- ner in which the home should be run. | Dissatisfaction has been great since the Democratic board appointed Jac) superintendent in the place of ];H!?l' :3 man. As a result of the Board of Trade's gg’;E‘-’;““""‘ a set of resolutions was ed.. The resolutions set forth that, owing to the high price of material ind sharp competition in the broom trade it is im- possible to conduct the broom factory, which furnishes the only source of em. oyment at the institution. A deficit of has been incurred, and the board asks that $5000 be appropriated by the State Legislature that the factory may be kept open. It also asks that the former appropriation of $22,500 for the maintenance of the home be raised to 1s being built in addition | to a big fruit-drying -establishment it is| O e e C C S o] B e o L L R O R e e e | is| from flights of flowery eloquence, which | [ | — | gether, and he fancied that the | was earnest and straightforward and | thodox. 3. | old-fashioned religion that came from the | that the true minister did not stray from JUROR SEIBEN PURSUED BY PHANTOM SKELETONS Alameda Office San Francisco Call, ! ;1428 Park street, March 15. HE uncanny exhibits in the Brandes murder case have had such a pro- nounced eftect on Juror Philip Sei- ben of this city that he has been transferred from the realm of peace- ful thoughts to that wherein _he is haunted by horrible visions.

He states that what made the greatest impression on his mind was the basket- ful of skulls which was exhibited to the Jury. “Since that horrible spectacle,” says Mr. Sefben, “I see skulls—hideous, grin- ning things—wherever I go. During the Aay I picture them in my mind’s eye, and in the night they haunt me while I sleep.” Mr. Seiben tells of some hair-raising | visions that have disturbed his slumber and made his life almost a burden. He has awakened from a troubled sleep to | picture grinning skulls perched . on the | foot of his bed. The jaws would snap to- | eyeless sockets would open and shut. Then the hideous things would dance about and finally roll off the bedstead ‘nto a basket. On another occasion he dreamed he was | sitting as a juror In a case where the courtroom was peopled with skeletons clothed with the raiment of the living. Mr. Seiben was the only occupant of the courtroom in the flesh. He says he never wants to pass through another such ex- perience. The Judge on the bench with his fleshless fingers turned the pages of his law books; his jaws went through the motions of speech, but no sound came from his tongueless skull. The gesticu- lations of the attorneys-indicated a wran- gle, but no words gave & clew as to what it was all about. “I will never forget that vistion to my dying day,” states Mr. Seiben. “It was like being imprisoned in a recelving vault with an army of corpses. I never felt so relleved in my life as when I awoke that night to find it was all a dream. But since this case I cannot drive the thought of skulls.out of my mind. I see them everywhere. When I meet a friend on the street I cannot restrain myself from picturing him with nothing but a bleached and fleshless skull on his shoul- ders. The sensation is horrible in the extreme. When I meet a man, woman : @ : ® : @ : @ : ® : P DLED PP ED U e Ve e wed > e One Or MR, SEBEN SkurL NIGHTMARES, . )/ oe @00+ edeoede® or child carrying a basket I shrink from them almost in terror, l’nncyflni that lheilx!' baskets are filled with uman skulls.” After the Brandes case is over Juror Sefben will probably take a trip East in an endeavor to forget the ghastly ex- hibits which have made such an impres- sion on him. EVANGELIST T HERE AGAIN Inveighs Against the Preachers. HE SCORES SENSATIONALISM DISLIKES THE EXPRESSION “RE- MEMBER THE MAINE.” \ The Well-Known Exhorter Pleads for More Simplicity and Sincerity in Religious Life. Alameda Office San Franciseo Call, 1428 Park street, March 15. Rev. Dwight L. Moody, the renowned evangelist, addressed two meetings in Alameda to-day at Armory Hall. In the afternoon every seat in the house was taken and in the evening the hall was crowded to the doors. Although he is well along in years Rev. Mr. Moody is still remarkably active. He is a pleasant talker, using language free appeals to the ordinary man or woman. In the afternoon the subject of his ad- dress was “The Bible.” His discourse there was a plentiful smattering of wit to vary the monotony. He is intensely or- He said he believed In the good heart and appealed to the soul. He took a fling at sensational preachers and said the Bible in his teachings. Rev. Mr. Moody said he took the Bible just as he found it, believing fully in all the good book contained. “Some ministers,” he said, “waste their time explaining things in the Bible which to them appear impossible. They are not true believers. We are told that the story of Jonah and the whale is a fairy tale, because no whale ever had_a mouth large enough to hold a man. Why, the great God who made a world like this could certainly make a whale big enough | to_swallow Jonah, and I believe he did.” | Being a man of the people, with great | personal magnetism, Rev. Mr. Moody ap- eals with much force to the understand- ng of his audience. ’%he drift of his evening discourse was the unregenerate nature of man. “For a year a cry has been going through the land, ‘Remember the Maine, because 300 sailors perished by that awful disaster in Havana harbor,” he said. “Every twenty-four hours 300 men are killed from drink, and I belleve the cry should be ‘Remember rum.” Did you ever live with a man who has never done wrong? Well, T Elllty you if you have. If you live under the same roof with such a man you will be blamed for everything that might happen to be wrong. 1 have reached the conclusion that we are all pretty bad and that we all should be born again, One town I visited had thirteen church members and seventeen saloons, and the people of that burg actually thought they were good.” Rev. F. S. Brush presided at both meet- ings. Music was furnished by a choir of fifty volices, composed of soloists from all .—0—04—@4—@—0—@4—04—0—0—@—».’ T SO e LD O S O R R SRCRR SRCER SRR S o e SR R S T oo S e e ] DWIGHT L.

W, Scudder Jr. It was an- nounced that revival meetings will be held to-morrow night in nearly all the local churches to take advantage of the good accomplished by Rev. Mr. Moody. ‘Will Raise the Bonus.

BERKELEY, March 15—Something de- cidedly unique in the line of drama will be attempted next week by several students of the unjversity under the direction of Professor Louis Du Pont Syle. It is to be in the nature of a revival of eighteenth century drama, intended principally for a distinctively college audience. The play selected is Oliver Goldsmith’s comedy, “The Good-natured Man” For some weeks past the cast has been engaged in a series of rehearsals, the presentation being set for the two nights of March 22 and 23 at Shattuck Hall in the university town. Thé production will not follow literall the comedy as originally written by Gold- smith. It has been specially recast and arranged into four acts by Professor Syle and Victor Henderson jointly. The staging will be in _eighteenth century style throughout. of actors Sir William Honeywood, H. H. Hirst; Charles Honeywood, A. J. Elston; Mr. Croaker, F. T.

Following is the list Professor Frank Soule, commandant of | the University Corps of Cadets, met the! commissioned officers of the corps this afternoon, and after, a brief discussion decided to conclude the work of the mili- tary department for the present term with a sham battle, in which all the college cadets. are to take part. e en- gagement will be a competitive ohe be- tween two bodies of the troops, organized for offense and defense and commanded by the majors of the First and Second battalions. An ample supply of blank ammunition is to be provided, and the fight will follow as closely as possible the maneuvers of an actual engagement. The details of the offense and defense, to- gether with the general plan of opera- tions, will be left to the two majors in command, assisted by the captains of their battalions. President Kellogg passed his seventy- first birthday to-day. - The occasion was not allowed to 8o by without an appre- ciative remembrance on the part of the students and others connected with the University. A committee of the Asso- ciated Women Students brought flowers and greens to the president’s office early this morning and completely transformed its appearance. A handsomely executed motto, done in bright leaves and a dark green background, was arched over the desk. _This piece was the work of Cap- tain Kelner, superintendent of the grounds. Lilies and fruit blossoms were arranged all around the room, and several messages of congratulation lay on the table. ~ Unfortunately, those who planned the affair, intending it as a surprise to the venerable head of the faculty as he should enter his office this morning, were some- what disaipolnt(‘d. as the president was unable to keep his hours to-day owing to sickness. It {s quite probable that he will be well enough to-morrow to come to col- ;fge to see the preparations made in his onor. ————————— TOWN AND GOWN CLUB.
