ONE HUNDRED MEN SLEPT AMID FLAMES : Oakland Office Francisco Call, %8 Broadway, Aug. 30. HE old Mehrmann Sanitarium in Niles Canyon has gone up in smoke and one hundred employes of the Spring Valley Water Company are congratulating themselves that they were not roasted in the flames. In the middle of the night the building in which the men were sleeping caught fire from a candle carelessly placed. The flames had obtained a good hold before the alarm was given and the employes knew not which way to run when they saw themselves surrounded by flames. They all got out safely, but none of them were able to save their personal effects. The water company is making a new dam in the canyon and purchased the sanitarium and the ground on which it stood. It was being ttsed as a dormi- tory and eating-house for the employes, the ultimate Intention of the com- pany being to tear it down, as it needed the land for water purposes. One of the men is supposed to have left a lighted candle stuck in a hole in a wooden table. The light was not extinguished before the men went to sleep, but burned down, causing a fire. The sanitarium was built a few vears ago by Dr. J. F. Mehrmann. When the Spring Valley Water Company jaid out plans for improvements in the canyon it required the Mehrmann property and bought it from its owner. The building was located about two miles from Sunol. +o+04@ o g 2 a8 208 208 8 gl 2C8 o B+94:40404040 40404 P ISVRTCTOVOTOSPIIUITITICIIT I IO IS SeIeeIes SAYS COURTS CANNOT ,JOY AND SORROW MAKE PEOPLE HONEST DROVE HIM TO SUICIDE OAKLAND, Aug. 30.—"A court of jus- tice must decide a case as to the law but cannot make people honest,” casualiy | remarked Judge Ellsworth in handing dewn a decision in a rather interesting foreclosure suit to-day.

Had the city ordinance been obeyed by the Southern Pacific street-car line in this city, it is probable that little Baby Es- ther Wahlstead might now be living. She | was Kkilled on Alcatrhz avenue, but the moterman of the car, who was the only employe on board, says he knows nothing about running over the child, although it occurred in broad daylight before 6:30 last night. Some months ago the City Council passed a law for the express purpose of aflvoid!ng such accidents as the killing of Esther Wahlstead. It was made illegal to run a car in the city without having two employes upon it. As several lads were then being employed on branch lines as | conductors where the traffic is light, the ordinance made so that one of the employes might be under 18 years of age. This was done to prevent throwing several lads out of employment. The law has been obeyed by every car line in town except_those owned by the Southern Pa- cific. When the branch line on which last night's fatality occurred was opened sev- eral years ago it was not within the lim- its of the city, and therefore was at lib- erty to run with one man. When the ter- ory was annexed to Oakland the prac- | tice ‘of saving a boy’s wages was kept | up, with the result that the motorman ‘hus killed a human being with his car | | and declares that he did not see it done and does not know how it occurred. An investigation of the tracks shows that the child was first struck almost abreast of her home and was carried 1000 feet across Shattuck avenue before the little_corpse was_disentangled from the | wheels. Not until the return journey did i the motorman sce the body on the track. The cars running on the Alcatraz-avenue | branch have no fenders. They have the | oid clu: pilot-board arrangement which has proved its ability to maim everything it strikes while not even having the power to keep mutilated bodies off the track. All the cars of the syndicate line are supplied | with the wire scoop fenders and have made a long record of successes in picking up bodies with comparatively little harm | to_them. The three-year-old baby killed last night ;| would easily have been scooped up in one | of these fenders with probably no more damage than a few bruises. here is a city ordinance requlrlmg] adequate fenders on’ cars, but this law has also been dis- obeyed on the ..lcatraz-avenue branch. The Coroner's deputles have made a thorough investigation of the circum- stances under which the baby was killed, and the inquest will be held to-morrow evening. EXTENSION LECTURES BY U. C.
