The question of the Fabiola benefit is the most prominent of the hour in Oak- land, for it interests the management, so- clety at large, the church folks and the racetrack management, all to a great de- gree. FROM POVERTY TO WEALTH. W. 8. Litteral Is Remembered by His Kansas Relative. OAKLAND, April 3.—W. S. Litteral, a painter who, with a wife and three chil- dren, has been living from hand to mouth In a little, poorly furnished shack in West Oaklhnnd. Wwill no longer find the need of 8 substantial weapon with whi the wolf from the door. Hec}y‘u::g 23% into a fortune estimated at $175,000 left him by an aunt who died recently in Kansas. He is made the sole heir to her enormous farm and other properties. Only a short time ago Litteral's former home was destroyed by fire, and for a | temporary for a contusion and sprain of his left shoulder, sustained in a manner hat might have cost him his life. On Friday last, while driving over a small trestle near North Berke- ley his horses balked and backed his ve- hicle over the edge of the platform. Just then the trace broke and the horses were released; but the wagon, with its occu- pant, fell to the bottom of the creek, a distance of about forty feet below. The wagon was demolished and Smith miracu- lously escaped with the injuries noted. WILLIAM WIEGMAN SAYS HE WAS BUNKOED NOW SEEKS TO REGAIN HIS LOST PROPERTY. Claims He Signed a Bill of Sale While Afflicted With a Tem- porary Mania. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, %08 Broadway, April 3. Willlam Wiegman filed a sult in the Superfor Court this afternoon against George E. Beebe and Fred Wiegman, the latter his cousin, alleging that he was de- frauded out of his interest in a thriving general merchandise business at Al- varado. According to his complaint he entered irto a copartnership with Beebe on Jan- uary 2, 18 Each partner put into the business $2500 and the partnership was to extend over five years. On January 30 of this year Beebe borrowed from Fred Wiegman $1000, giving him a promissory note, payable in one year. This money was also invested in the business. On February 2) the business was prosperous and the firm's indebtedness did not ex ceed 3630, except the note which plaintiff had also signed, but the store, stock, fixtures and good will of the | business at this time was worth $5000. About this time, the complaint alleges, plaintiff became very sick, laboring under mania, and was wholly un- able and incompetent to transact any business, and while in this condition the defendants willfully, knowingly and fraudulently ~persuaded plaintiff by threats, menace and force to sign and execute a certain paper, the purport of | which he did not then understand, but 1 now informed is a bill of sale of all his rights and interest in the business and as- sets of the firm of Weigman Plaintift consideration was ever paid in conclusion alleges that no or agreed | upon, and on February 27 the entire busi- ‘was sold by defendants to one Har- Wherefore Mrs. Wiegman asks $10,000 damages on the ground that his business has been destroyed and his credit and reputation seriously impaired; besides $5000 for punitive damages for the fraud. Only last week Willlam Wiegman sought to have a receiver appointed while his interests might be determined legally, but Judge Ogden on that occasion held it inadvisable to Interfere, since he consid- ered Harvey a purchaser in good faith. It developed at the hearing of Wieg- man’s petition at that time that his sick- 1iess was due to too free an access to the flowing bowl, which réndered him incom- petent to transact business, and for which he was under treatment, and wherefore he had sold out. The trial of the present suit promises to be sensational. — e CHRISTIAN GOVERNMENT. OAKLAND, April 3—A n national re- form convention for the purpose of con- | sidering the Christlan principles of civil government held in the lecture room of the First Presbyterian Church to-night was well attended. Rev. J. M. French presided and spoke on the essential ele- ments of Christian citizenship and the advisability of introducing into the pub- lic schools the Bible as an auxillary text book. He was followed by Rev. Dr. H. H. George, who discoursed on the sub- ject of “Christian as Against Secular Government.” Rev. W. H. Fulton, Rev. Elmer Mec- Burney, Rev. Mr. Jones, Rev. Mr. Ellis and J. T. Robinson were appointed a committee to draft resolutions volcing the sentiments of the convention, to be reported at to-morrow night's session, at which time the temperance and Philip- g‘lne problems will be discussed by Mrs. . U. Johnson and Rev. E. R. Bennett. There will also be a session to-morrow afternoon, when the speakers will be Rev. Floyd J. Mynard, Mrs. H. H. George and Rev. R. Dille.

NEW DEPARTURE IN MESSAGES BY MAYOR SKOW Does Not Believe in Pigeonholing. FOLLOWS UP SUGGESTION RESOLUTIONS PRESENTED FOR IMMEDIATE ACTION. Attention Called to the Gambling Evil With the Advice That It Be Suppressed at Once. @ OLIOLOLOTAS L 14 & L SLAOTHOLIOLNS : MAYOR SNOW TO STOP GAMBLING There is one other matter of vital Interest to the city, differing greatly from the subject of finances already considered, but so claiming your immediate attention that I refer to it here. It relates to the morals of the community. I refer to gambling. No person should ba permitted to keep a house for the purpose of gambling or any place where g&Mbling 18 done. Every such place in the city of Oakland should be closed. I purposely refrain from any statement setting forth the detalls of gambling at this time. We need an ordinance pre- venting and punishing gambling. If you will pass it it will be en- forced. I hope that the press will give our intention prominent no- tice, so that orders recently given for gambling outfits to be set up in this city may be rescinded.—Mayor Snow’'s message to the City Coun- b cll. i @oseRetioe oo X oteTeNIONO@ Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, April 3. The new City Council assumed charge of the city’s affairs to-night. The fea- ture of the meeting was the reading of a message from Mayor Snow. It was a pertinent document, words being neither minced nor wasted. “We find the city in a pit,” says the Mayor. We shall hurt somebody getting it out, and probably do ourselves some injury; but the peculiar situation is both the reason for our action and our excuss. 1 recommend that the salary of every ot- ficer and employe that is not fixed by _the charter be reduced until June 30 abodt 25 per cent. “Every incoming Mayor has read an in- augural message; the desk has filed It away and it has been forgotten within ten day You will notice that I have adopted a different plan. In my communi- cation I have made nine suggestions and the same number of ordinances and reso- lutions are respectfully presented here- with for such action as your wisdom di- rects. “To meet the deficit of $60,000, the Coun- cil will probably reduce every salary now fixed by resolution or ordinance 25 per Policemen will probably be retired from the positions of captain and detec- tives for the purpose of saving their in- creased salaries. The expense of house numbering will be discontinued. One. half of the street lights are to be shut off; one-half the street sweeping to be discontinued and also one-half of the street sprinkling. The bond interest money due on coupons July 2 will be used for general expenses; and after all, the statutory salaries, amounting to $27,000 for the months of April, May and June, will e to be carried over into the next fis- cal year. “Ii was known when the last tax lev was made that to do what was then al- ready proposed would require a levy of $137. Without making any change in the programme of expenses the levy was fixed at $121; deficit of $60,000 is the re- su‘!’(l:he legal limit of taxation by the city is $1, except for bonds and interest. The assessment roll dropped last year $6,000,- 000 and is likely to be reduced this year $2,000,000 more.” The property of = the whole city Is llkelfi to be valued by the County Assessor this year for only $40,- 000,000, This valuation at the full legal rate of taxation will furnish only $400,000. The additional _income from other sources is not likely to be more than $350,000, or $750,000 all told. “7The cost for maintenance alone for the year closing June, 1898, was over $751,- 000. ~ The cost of street Ilfi)lafln% in 1890 was $36,000. It is now $72,000. he cost of our schools in 1860 was $200,000. It is now $300,000. In 1890 only $55,000 was ex- pended upon our streets. Last year $80,- 000 was_expended for like purposes. Our NI 9 OO D S Ut N ® & ST FOVIT S TOUSUI O QU0 Police Department expense has owWn from $48,000 in 18% to require $78,000 for maintenance. And our Fire Department that cost in 1590 $56,000 for maintenance now costs $62000. The reduction of $8,000,000 in the assessment roll since 1897 reduces the income of the ch{_ $80,000 per year upon a tax rate of $l. he cost of the city government must be reduced the coming fiscal year $80,000 or the present condition of affal will be repeated one year from to-day. To the School Directors Mayor Snow sent the following additional suggestion: “1 have one other matter that I desire to speak of. It is very probable that some attempt may be made during the year to amend the city charter. The resent charter attempts to require the Board of Public Worl to act as your executive arm, while the general law seems to set this provision aside. hen we come to amend the charter it will be necessary to know for a fact whether your honorable body controls a school district and is subject to the general laws governing such districts or subject to charter provisions. I desire to request that you join if necessary in a friendly suit that may be hereafter arranged to determine the legal relation of your orable board to the city of Oakland. ‘When the Council met Councilman H. D. Rowe of the Seventh Ward was unani- mously elected president. He was an ac- tive member of the last Council. Those who expected surprises at the Council meeUn? were not disappointed, for they came in bunches. Mayor Snow read his own message and handed in the ordinances and resolutions necessary to make it effective. Counecilman Girard made the first attack on gambling by calling up the ordinance prohibiting keno, which was held up by the old License Committee. Mr. Girard made a powerful plea for the ordinance. “I have made inquiry,” he sald “and know whereof I speak. ‘There are in the heart of this city twelve or fifteen hells where our youth are being corrupted and made dishonest. At this present moment from 500 to 1000 people are gamblirg and ap- parently there is8 no ordini®ce to_ stop them. ¥n this number are clerks and stu- dents of our high school and university, young men who cannot do more than sup- port themsclves, and they are sitting around risking their money and perhaps that of their emplcyers at keno. These bloodsuckers who run these games should be stopped at once. 1 know just where they are located, and although there are signs up, ‘No boys under admitted,’ that is the most deceptive of subterfuges, for I have seen in one saloon as many as eight boys under 16 years old. ‘If this ordinance will not stand the test of the courts, then we will 8 one im- gaulng a license of $1000 a night on these loodsuckers, and ng one can stop us do- Ing that” As Mr. Girard is rman of | to Melrose. the License Committee he commands much authority. The ordinance was unan- imously passed to print. Another ordinance, introduced by Mayor Snow, was read and sent to committee. It prohibits gambling of all kinds, and also makes it a misdemeanor to lease a place for gambling. Measures were also introduced abolish- ing the office of one police captain and of two detectives; also arranging for doing away with one-half of the street sweep- ing, sprinkling and street lighting for the remaining three months of this year; also for reducing every salary fixed by the Council and for repealing the ordi- nance appropriating $50,000 for building a storm sewer {n Cemetery Creek. All these measures will be decided by the committee of the whole, which will' meet :mhlthe Board of Works on Wednesday Vening. City Clerk Tompkins was reappointed and he at once named Ed Holand, the incumbent, as his deputy. Fred Murdock wllr cease to be Cit: ‘Wharfinger on April 30 and Charles V\y Agner was appointed his successor. Henry Powers will cease to be Pound- master on April 10 and Herbert Swift will be his successor. John Wilds was ap- pointed to enter upon his twenty-first Year as head janitor of the City Hall. A resolution was introduced dec{arln the place of Night Janitor Tim Holland va- cant and naming Frank Colver as his successor, but the matter was sent to committee.

His Ex-Wife Produces Letters He Has Written Since the Legal Separation. Meese, Btetson, Oakland Office San Franclsco Call, 908 Broadway, April 3. Captain E. A. von Schmidt and his di- vorced wife, Isabella von Schmidt, ap- peared before Judge Greene to-day and created a lively scene. The well-known yachtsman, through his attorney, Hugh Aldrich, moved the court to modify the divorce decree recently granted so that he might be permitted to occasionally visit his three children at their Alameda home. Judge Greene, however, ‘“sat down” upon the captain pretty hard. “It's $100 to nothing,” said his Honor, “that if you go to the home of this ‘woman you would certainly commit some breach of propriety. No, no, you cannot | g0 there,” Isabella von Schmidt held the same opinfon. She was fortified with several letters she had recently received from Captain von Schmidt, wherein he begged for permission to call at her home and see the children. In one of thess letters | he accused her of having perjured herself at the divorce trial. Again, while Cap tain von Schmidt was on the witnes: stand he tried to convince the court that he could call at his former wife's home without committing any breach of pro- | priety. Judge Greene, however, decided that the captain should be allowed to see his children at some friend’s home twice each month, Released and Rearrested. OAKLAND, April 3.—Fred Foster, who was arrested on a charge of felony em- bezzlement last week in an alleged at- tempt to get away with several race horses, had his case dismissed in Re. corder Bradford’s court, on the ground of lack of jurisdiction, at Emeryville to-day; but the District Attorney, a.ntk‘:fallng the step, had a new complaint and war- rant {ssued. Foster was immediately re- arrested and later released on bonds. Huber’s Death Confirmed. OAKLAND. April 3.—There is now no doubt that Henry Huber, the Oakland boy who was with the troops at Manila, was killed by the Filipinos. Additional information has been received in this city substantiating the story published in The Call a week ago. The lad’s parents have nfl longer any hope that their son is still alive. e e Death of Mrs. Samuels. OAKLAND, April 3.—Mrs. Cecelia Sam- uels, mdther of Deputy District Attorney George Samuels, died to-day at the family residence, £56'% Isabelle street, after a lingering {llness. She was aged 70 years. UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA NEWS BERKELEY, April 3.—A determined ef- fort is to be made to arouse the same col- lege spirit and student enthusiasm over the approaching baseball contest with Stanford as marked the great footbal. season of last year. The college men have begun to see that their baseball players have the same support and encourage- ment that helped their gridiron veterans to the victory of last Thanksgiving. The same spirit which manifested itself there is beginning to materialize once more. It broke out for the first time this afternoon. Placards announcing a grand baseball rally had been posted in conspicuous places In the campus during the day. The notices brought a throng of students down to the bledchers on the lower campus shortly before 4 o'clock. The old-time feelln% was abroad and it showed itself in the old ways. As Coagh Corbett came on- to the diamond with his men and began arranging their positions, those on the bleachers remembered Cochran and his iants, and the California yell went ring- ng over the fleld. It was the first time that the baseball men have been really cheered this season, but the spell was broken. Again and again the vell was given and it came out at intervals during the practice. It had the desired effect upon the men and they put in the snag iest practice of this term. The same thing will be car- ried out daily, from now on, until the Blue and Gold faces the Cardinal. Mean- while the enthusiasts are organizing a rooter’s club, similar to that of last term. Each member has to come to the games decked in a blue and gold hat. The club wil! form the yelling center of the Cali- fornia section at the big games, and will enliven the proceedings with baseball songs and joshes. The project of a university circus for the benefit of the Athtletic Association is gaining favor. It has been found, possible to hold the affair within the enclosure around the cinder track. Thé promoters of the plan have estimated that it will cost something like $300, and they will lay this report before the next meeting of the Athtletic Association. Should it re- ceive the sanction of that body the circus will be held toward the close of the pres- ent term, ALAMEDA COUNTY NEWS BREVITIES OAKLAND, April 3.—The preliminary hearing of James J. Gilligan, charged with the murder of Jockey John Epperson, was to-day again continued until next Saturday. Mary Pickering, a domestic aged 40 years, residing In San Francisco, was ar- rested for insanity to-day and will be committed to an insane asylum. She im- agines that she is being pursued by men. The estate of slgznatz Frank has been ap- raised at $192,690, consisting of Southern acific bonds, stocks and real estate. . An appraisement of the estate of Mary C.
