More Undesirable Employes Walk the Plank. Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, Jan. 10.—The weeding out of ul tisfactory employes at Agnews In- gane Asylum is still continued by Medi- cal Director Crane. There have been more changes at that institution in the few months he has had charge of it than during Dr. Sponogle's entire administra- tion. The employes are all uneasy over the matter, not knowing when their time will come. At the regular meeting of the asylum managers to-day Director Crane reported that H. M. McCabe, J. Gilbert and F.

The ladles of the Oakland Club took definite action to-day in the matter of the | seating of young women employed in | stores by adopting a resolution pledging | the promotion of home trading and in re- | turn asking of the merchants better | wages for female employes, together with the carrying out of the law that has as its purpose the securing of every possible comfort for shop girls. The Oakland Club took up this matter, | which was first made prominent by the | Mothers' Club of Golden Gate, at the re- | quest of the latter organization, and acted | upon it without delay. At the meeting this afternoon Mrs. Henrika Iliohan, pres- ident of the Golden Gate club, spoke for a few minutes on shop conditions. With- | out any further discussion the following | resolution, introduced by Mrs. Henry Goodcell, was read and adopted: Whereas, The wages pald to the employe are dependent upon the financial success of the employer, that in furthering the interest of one the other should also be furthered, therefore. Resolved, That the Oakland Club pledges ftself to use its best endeavors to promote home trading and, In return, respectfully requests the co-opération of the merchants of Onkland In furthering the interests of the women in their employ; tbat they be pald better wages and that the provisions of the law for their protection, already enacted, be fully carried out. In connection with the subject of seat- ing women in stores, rs. Illohan broached that of compulsory education, | and declared that the law relating ty it is not enforced strongly enough. The crowded condition of the schools is given as an excuse for this non-enforcement, the trustees being compelled to overlock absences because there would be no place | to_put the children if they should come. rs. George W. Bunnell, president of the Oakland Club, also spoke specifically of the wage question. In closing the talk on seating clerks, Mrs. Iliohan sald that if shoppers coul be comfortably seated before the counter, surely the girls behind it should be, since they are there and on their feet from 7 until 6 and often later. She was ap- plauded. Mrs. John Bakewell and Mrs. Robert Watt were unanimously elected as dele- ates to the convention that will meet in 0s Angeles next week to consider the State federation of clubs. Since neither of these ladles are active suffragists, this will take some color from the statement that the suffragists of the Oakland Club are leading the federation movement. Several very Instructive talks were glven during the afternoon. Mrs. Watt spoke on domestic science and extended general invitation to the free demonstra- tlons to-morrow afternoon at the school, Fifth and Peralta streets. Miss Voorhies spoke on cooking and cookin, classes, and Miss Emery on sewing. rs. M. L. Curtis gave an interesting and spirited impromptu talk on servant-maids. esolutions of condolence were adopted to be sent the family of Mrs. Touchard, who lately died and who was a member of the club. A letter of invitation was sent Mrs. T. B. Walker, founder of the Bethlehem Home of Minneapolis, to be e;esent next Wednesday afternoon. Mrs. alker is visiting In San Francisco.

OAKLAND, Jan. 10.—License Inspector Henry Maloon declared before the Ordi- nance Committee of the City Council to- night that there were many tipplers among the aristocratic ladies of Oakland. He said that they secured their liquors from the drug stores. and that some of the latter establishments sold more liquor than many of the saloons. “I know what I am talking about when I make the assertion.” declared the in- spector. “I have made a thorough inv tigation of the matter and am not giving voice to any wild rumor. Every day ycu can sec some ¢f the wealthy women of this town driving up to different drug stores that make a specialty of selling wine and whisky and getting bottles of iiquor.” %“Do drug stores make a specialty of selling liquors?” asked Councilman Taylor in_surprise. Do the; exclaimed Inspector Maloon in reply. “I should say they did. There is one druggist on Seventh street who sells as much liguor as any wholesale liquor store in Oakland. tomers are women, too.” “*And there is a drug store in West Oak- | land that is as bad as any saloon in town,” declared Councilman _Stetson. “The proprietor has a room in the rear, where young fellows play _poker drink _whisky until all hours of night.” s a result of these disclosures, a com- mittee composed of License Inspector Ma- loon, Councilman Girard and City Attor- ney Dow was appointed to draft an ordi- nance which will be effectual in_ stop- ping the traffic. It will be a stringent one and will pro e heavy penalties for its violation. It wa pose a fine of $250 for breaches of the pro- posed new law prohibiting the sale of liquors to boys under 1S years of age.

The trial of Joe Rosenberg. the saloon- keeper and cigar dealer, charged with permitting a gambling game to be run in his place on Broadway, ended in a verit- able farce and acquittal to-night. Cap- tain Petersen and Officer Pardee, who, with Sergeant McKinley, ralded the place, testified that Rosenberg was present in his place when the game of “craps” was in progress there. When they called on Rosenberg to open the place he came to the front door and then called back to those inside, “Close up, -there.” Rosen- berg made a pretense of trying to unlock | the front door, but claimed he had the | | wrong key and went to the rear again.

Albright of Alameda had his way all courts upon this earth would be abolished and no human being would be permitted to sit in judgment upon his fellow-man. Judge Ogden, to whom Albright made these statements on Tuesday, expressed his disapproval of the views of the man from Alameda, and a canvass of the ministers shows that section. ALBRIGHT ON THE JUDGE. “I belleve that no man, woman or child should be punished by human hands for wrongdoing or for what we call crime God alone can judge the doing of thos to whom He has given life. Punishment is barbarous and should be abolished. I have arrived at these conclusions after studying the Bible for two years with the Heme of Truth Society, and I merely expressed my opinions to Judge Ogden. “I served on a jury before Judge Ogder two years ago, and at that time was willing to sit in judgment upon my fel low-man, but since that time I have seen e error of my ways.

The declaration was made in a Council committee to-night that the city had been systematically robbed of thousands of & lars' worth of public property by aris: cratic land-grabbers along the shores o Lake Merritt. A resolution was favori- bly acted upon, directing the City gineer to determine the boundary line of the land along the water front belonging to Oakland, and as soon as this is done, legal measures will be taken to oust the squatters. “On a rough estimate I will venture to say that there has been over 000 worth of realty belonging to the city gobbled up along the shores of Lake Merritt,” sald Councilman Taylor. “Two long arms of the lake were filled in several years ago and as soon as the work was completed, private individuals s\e_Fped into posses- sion and claimed it. ‘hey had net the least shadow of a title, yet their tions and acts of ownership have been disputed Other property owners along the shores of the lake have alse en- croached upon city property that was or- iginally dedicated for park purposes, and unless the city takes prompt and vigor- ous action all of this valuable ground will be lost. “I have been examining the survey of the property belonging to Oakland in that vicinity and I find that in some instances magnificent houses have been erected on some parts of it, and the occupants, wh are prominent citizens, claim that the) own the land. This is practically a theft of the city’s property, and I intend to see that every squatter is ousted. “Until :he city line is definitely set forth by the establishment of monuments 0 not care to mention the names of of these men who have grabbed the lic lands, but it will only be a short time hefore the matter is definitely and conclu: G4 d an; pul The latest and best preparation of Na- ture’s most nourish- ing food product.
