Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway. Jan. 13. Mrs. Margaret B. Pelton, the official press agent of the W. C. T. U., has Is- sued a statement in rply to the recent charge made by License Inspector Henry Maloon that Oakland women se- ired liquor in drugstores. She defends Oakland women, and says: “The Oakland W. C. T. U. has taken no action upon drugstores as vet, while deeply anxious to strike a blow at the traffic whenever an op- portunity offers. We are quietly canvassing the groceries of Oakland to aecertain how many of them fur- nish liquor to_their patrons. This work is done by a large committee, whose work has been hindered by the recent storms, but which will soon be completed. T believe that License Inspector Maloon is mistaken about our soclety women drinking or visiting drug- stores to procure liquor. ere may be isolated cases of this kind, but the large representation of Oakland so- 4 women in all clubs and associa- is of educational, civic and phil- anthropical aims forblds the thought that many of the class have so far forgotten the noblesse oblige as to degrade their own high standing. “Fabiola Hospital is a grand monu- ment to which every Oaklander points with pride as the work of these la- dles, and there are half a score lesser institutions that are blessing the citi- zens of kland buflt up and con- stantly for and supported by these noble women. “Let us give honor where honor is due, and do not be so ready to throw stones at these birds of finer plumage who have added so much to the beauty of our fair city and have given it, so far as they could, the right to be called the ‘City of | Homes. “The kind of talk indulged in by Mr. Maloon 1s too prevalent, and ile it may not cause a ripple of comment among the accused it does and will have its influence upon those who are just forming their pinfons and habits.

There will be about 400 delegates present, representing fifteen counties of the Stat Every prune section has been thorough canvassed, and it is asserted that tr organization to be formed will control fully % per cent of the prune output of the State. The growers are unanimous in favor of organization and are taking an unusual interest. The convention will be called together by 8. P. Saunders, the chairman of the committee appointed to make arrange- ments for the meeting. This committee will also report in favor of organization under the co-operative act of 139, form- | ing an assoclation similar to that of the raisin growers. It Is expected that least two days will be occupled in ef- | fecting organization, Such__ prominent horticulturalists as Mes Naftzger of the Orange Growers' Association, Kear- ney of the Raisin Growers, Sprague of the Southern California Deciduous Grow- ers, R. L. Stephens, Secretary Lelong of the Horticultural Commission and others | will be in attendance. As s00on as organization is effected in- corporation will be had under the State law and the preliminary work for the handling of the coming crop begun. A meeting of green fruit men will be | beld in Hale's Hall at the same time and an organization also formed. When these two bodies have been firmly established they will undoubtedly unite and handle their products through one central head in the East. |CLAIMS GROWING OUT | OF THE PHILIPPINE WAR Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Jan. 13.—It is probable that claims amounting in the aggregate to many millions of dollars will be made against the United States by persons who bave lost property through military op- erations in the Philippine Islands. One 50,000 has aiready been begun : New York Export and Import Company of this efty lalm grows out of the bombard- ment of licilo by Admiral Dewey’s ships. It is made on behalf of Haliman & Co., & irm of Swiss merchants who had an es- tablishment in that city. When the Amer- ican troops landed in llollo General Otis proclaimed American sovereignty and Hallman & Co., with other foreign mer- chants took out licenses enabling them to ot nue operations. Soon afterward the urgents threatened the city in the rear id General Otis asked the Navy Depart- | ment 1o send vessels to bombard their | trenches. "In anticipation of the bombard- | ment he issued an order notifying foreign | residents that the city would be shelled | and glving them sixty hours in which to withdraw their merchandise. | Admiral Dewey's ships were two days ahcad of time,” and began shelling the rebel trenches as soon as they arrived. The city was set on fire and the ware- | houses of Hallman & Co. were destroyed. | _They lmmedlalelg made a_ protest to | General Otis on the ground that the | American Government, being in charge of the city, was responsible for the loss, es- pecially as it was inflicted by American guns and not by Filipinos. eir prop- erty was insured for $110,000, but this can- | not be collected, as companies are not liable for losses resulting from an act of | war. The suit will be decided by Congress and the Court of Claims. Hallman & Co. were correspondents of | the New York Export and Import Com- | pany, which has other correspondents similarly situated. The treasurer of the company sald to-night that so far as he | knew no other claims had yet been filed, but that others probably would be made in the near future. b L Dr. Snider Dead.

OAKLAND, Jan. 13.—Judge Nusbaumer and his friends marched into the Supe- rior Court to-day, each armed with a large, rapid fire revolver and a determi- nation to fisht until the last man dropped should hostilities occur. Attor- ney McElrath, R. S. Simpson and their followers also proceeded to the Temple of Justice in columns of fours, with death-dealing devices secreted in their right hip pockets. They looked fierce and warlike and stood in martial array while Judge Coffey of San Francisco opened court and commenced the hearing of the famous suit for an accounting com- PETER C. ALLEN. AKLAND, Jan. 13.—The engage- ment of Miss Florence Sharon, the beautiful daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Sharon of Pied- mont, to Peter C. Allen, the young composer, was announced to- night by Madame Emma Nevada at a dinner given in honor of the talented opera singer at the Sharon residence. The engagement, like the dinner, is one of the most important soclal events of the year in Oakland. No young lady in local soclety is more prominent or more popular than Miss Sharon, and Mr. Allen, since his re- turn to this city, has won many friends for himself, as well as an en viable reputation among musical peo- ple for his compositions and orches- trations. The news, thercfore, of the betrothal will be read with much in- MISS SHARON. Mr. Allen dates back several years, for at one time he lived in Oakland, afterward moving to San Jose and then to Seattle. Upon returning a few months ago he heard Miss Sharon's voice and wrote to sult it a pastoral, in which Miss Pauline Fore also sang a part. The pastoral was presented before a very fashionable audience for the benefit of a charity, and won praise for composer and singers. It was whispered then that Miss Sharon and Mr. Allen were engaged, but since the bride's mother would not affirm the rumor it grew to nothing more. Miss Sharon is a graduate of the Oakland High School and a student at the University of California. After the wedding in May Mr. Allen will take his bride abroad and will there resume his mnsical studies and work. Soclety will miss Miss Sharon greatly, SBetietietio Netietl et et oNeNINININININIRINeRINeRN +NoNININ+Q 2 ‘f“"“l" s"",‘;'"' "’b‘;‘: ‘“dh in 53”: for she is beloved for not omly her Brancieee, e e ot e R 18 peunty, which: in of S wpiritustie % 1 prominent, by soclety In Washington, (vot byt for her graclousness and & | where the dainty Californian made hundreds of admiring friends, and by musical people all over the West, who know of the splendid voice of the bride-to-be and of the art which Mr. Allen has well mastered.

Spectal Dispatch to The Call | MONTEREY, Jan. 13.—Frank R. Launts, a Monterey man, who has spent the past three years prospecting in the Canada and Alaska mining reglons in the interest of | the Bt. Louis Mining and Development Company of St. Louls, Mo., has just re- turned home with news of a most re- markable as well as extremely valuable find. While in the Copper River district of Alaska, near Mount Drumm, he came upon an exceedingly rich platinum de- posit, which at the surface ylelds $13 fo tha ton, at three and a half feet the yicld Is $18,000 to the ton and at six feet it is $30.- 000 to the ton.

Miners Killed by an Explosion. BUTTE, Mont., Jan. 13—By the pre- mature explosion of a blast on the 1700 foot level of the Mount Con mine this afternoon Peter Sullivan and Thomas Smith were instantly killed. Both were in the most studied manner, and there was such a complete lack of verbal tiit- ing between the attorneys that the trial became monotonous. Most of the witnesses were lawyers who had been interested in some way in the original litigation between Simpson and the late Joseph Macdonough. ey were unanimous in their ablility to forget things and none of them gave any testimony which had a material bearing on the pres- ent suit. Simpson took the stand late in the afternoon, but court adjourned before he had an opportunity to tell much of his story. 1 went to ‘Nusy’ vas''—. “‘Nusy? Who's ‘Nusy? " asked Judge ey. “Why, Judge Nusbaumer,” replied Simpson. Then everybody, including the defend- ant, laughed. This aroused Simpson's ire and he gave the balance of his statement in_an angry voice. “Those lawyers were breaking me, they charged so much,” he declared, “and 1 went to Judge Nusbaumer and told him I wanted my sult against Macdonough set- tled. I told him to do the best he could for me and to make the attorneys scale down their charges. 1 was especially em- hatic about that, because 1 wanted the awyers to leave a’little money for myself and my creditors. He agreed to do the work for $150. When the suit was com- promised I went with Judge Nusbaumer to the office of Attorney Cole in San Fran- cisco. He went in first and then stuck his head out of the door and told me to keep out, as Macdonough was there and there would surely be a row if I entered. I hung around for two hours, and was finally_frozen ovt, so 1 went home. The next day Judge Nusbaumer told me he had settied for $19,000.” “Judge Nusbaumer scaled down the charges of the lawyers, sald Attorney M. C. Chapman as he took the stand, “and 1 received the Insignificant sum of $50 for five solid weeks of work which I did for Simpson.” Lawyer Chapman knew practically nothing about the differences between Judge Nusbaumer and Simpson. He was followed by Attorney Moore. “Judge Nusbaumer #& a life-long friend of mine,” he said, “and Simpson has been my bitter enemy’ ever since I refused to longer_have him for a client one day in 1893. For that reason I shall be most care- ful in what I say. Lawyer Moore exhibited a great inabil- ity to remember things and could throw greater percentage of platinum ho found, orty claims were staked out and located by Launtz and those with him, fourteen single men. no light on the controversy. He was fol- lowed by several other attorneys, who of which Launtz took up for the St. Louis Mining and Development Company. of which he {8 a member. The forty claims cover the whole deposit, it is stated. Launtz then went to St. Louls to make his report and to arrange for sending ap- paratus_and supplies for working the mine. He will leave here about the mid- dle of February for his return to Alaska, and will at'once begin the work of devel- oping his valuable discovery. As the world’s supply of Flflllnum at present is comparatively small and as % per cent of that comes from the Ural Mountaids of Russla, a mine as rich as Launtz reports this to_be will cerla.lnli’ make the for- tunes of those who own it. - Walter Newman Dead.

Marshall, the young man who figured in San Rafael some time ago as the star actor in a pump gun test case, is again appearing as the principal in a case of the same kind, but which incidentally invelves a tangle which will give legal experts food for thought. Marshall and his attorney, Charles ‘Wheeler, arrived here to-day, and Mar- shall went bhunting with a proscribed pump-gun. Wheeler thereupon swore out a warrant for his arrest on the charge of violating a county ordinance, to wit, using a repeating shotgun. Marshall was brought before Judge Turner and sentenced to pay a $20 fine or serve twenty days. Then heeler peti- tioned the Judge that Marshall be re- leased on his own recognizance Rendlng habeas corpus proceedings, for which he | was about to swear out a writ in the Su- preme Court. Judge Turner turned Mar- | shall loose and, what is more remarkab! without suspending judgment, Now_ local legal lights are asking each other how can 'as corpus proceedings | be instituted on behalf of a free maan. Judge Turner will be out $20 to the Board of Supervisors, and Attorney Wheeler wiil laugh in his sieeve. “There Is an old saying that lawyers | WEAVING A WEB AROUND THREE MEN SUSPECTED Police Believe They Have the Hold-Ups.

A rumor reached police headquarters this afternoon to the effect that threea masked men had sandbagged and robbed a man out on San Pablo avenue, near the streetcar company's power-house, last Sunday night. TLe story was vague and failed to show who the victim was. Chief of Police Hodgkins detailed a couple of officers to investigate the matter, but they were unable to procure any Information. “The ‘story is without foundation.” de- clared the Chief. T am paying no attention to it. Since the hold-ups hegan we have been flooded with storfes of rob- berfes which have had no foundation.” ADVERTISEMENTS.
