Y2 { | | BERKELEY, Feb. 10.—Within the past | month fully thirty valuable dogs belong- | ing to prominent Berkeley people have | been polsoned in the most mysterious manner. No one seems able to give a good account of the poisoning !huu‘h‘ { many theories plausible and otherwise are offered. About January 1 the first case was re ported to the police. The dog belongea | to a party in South Berkeley. No reason could be given for the canine's mysteri- ous death. For several days other com- plaints came from the same district. Then the poisoner changed operations to the foothill district. A few days’ rest and complaints would come from other | parts of the college town. The work was done in the night and all tracks hidden =o carefully that Marshal Lloyd and his deputies are at a loss what t. . reliminary mous postal warning owners of dogs of the impend- | ing danger. The postals have had the| keeping all canines under lock | and key. Only the most valuable and in | many cases very quiet dogs have been | picked out. Joseph Hume of Dwight way was one of the earliest victims to the poisoning. rie lost a thorougbbred St. Bernard dog ;hl((x-h was a great pet of the neighbor- 00d. Besides the reward offered by Mr. Hume and others speclal policemen have been detailed to run the criminal down. So far, however, little has been accom- | plished. The Marshal's officers in their work have discovered several very important facts concerning the poisoning. In one Berkeley the offi- cers have found crystallized strychnine wrapped in an old newspaper which had been thrown into a yard. Liver and onions soaked with the poison were also found. Both the strychnine and meat have been traced to a certain house in Berkeley, but as no positive proof can be secured no arrests can be made. The guilty one must be detected in the act of poisoning or throwing the poison be- fore evidence enough to convict him can be secured. Among those whose dogs have been polsoned are: Mrs. S_{muldlng.‘ 2233 Ellsworth; Willlam Kelley, 2239 Ban- 17 clety, are being completed for the event. Umit.

This assoclation is a representative body, coming from all parts of the city. It is to be presumed that if we carefully consider and report upon the various measures proposed the Council, in finally submitting the matter to the electors, and the electors In voting thereon, will give attention to our recommendations. This association cannot act intelligently, however, until its committees have riade careful investigation of the subjects referred to them and reported their recommenda- tions. You will please, therefore, take the matter up at your earliest conventence and prepare written reports. "The Committee on Sewers will consider all of the above subjects numbered 1, 2, 3 ‘ The Committee on Watsr Supply will consider subjects 5 and §.

L Every year the accruing interest on these bonds, together Wwith one-fortieth o the princioal must be paif. t Therefore, it the city incurs a large bonded indebtedness there will be a ocon- siderable additional sum added to the bills for taxes each vear. “Tho people of this city will not vote in favor of increasing so materially their burdens of taxation unless satisfled that a full equivalent will be received therefor. Tt will be of no use, therefore, to recommend to the voters the issuance of bonds unless the advantage to be derived therefrom is made plainly to appear. It, after you have made an Investigation, you are of the opinion that no bonds ought to be jssued in order to raise money to make the propused improvement, Your recommendation to that effect will, no doubt, recefve the sanction of this Uation, and will also receive the indorsement of the people at the polls. i But if you are satisfled that a full equivaient will be obtaired for the increased taxation, then you should carefully consider just what the proposed improvements shdll be. In order to make intelligent recommendations to us it may be n for you to take the advice of experts and consult with such persons interested in the matter as you may be able to meet. This association has no money with which to pay for the services of experts, but no doubt you will find enough public-spirited citizens with special knowledge upon these subjects which you are considering who will be willing to help you with thelr advice and m..::na We do not know whether ‘ouncil will adopt our recommendations, but we gt s will be so reasonable and piain that they will not be rejected. course, it Is impossible to say whether or not the voters at a special election will indorse what you or this association does, but it Is to be presumed, on account of the repre- sentative charmcter of this body, that your recommendations, if indorsed by the . ¥ recor neral Committee, will have Ereat welght with the e adds ponsi| your position, to the necess a8 e oname Wavice thas is the result of dametul investization and. consiberation, WARREN OLNEY, President. ¢ : i : ; ; % ; : $ i { i $ i i S MM“MWMMQQSMM‘QMQWOMO’@‘OMWMWOW‘”O“ON be0 e @ j-2-3-%-2-3-%-1 UNIQUE TICKET FOR TROLLEYMEN’S BALL D e e e e et e ] ] 50(6(7 |8]9 [10]1t |12 ARARALIAEA - 5441576 |7 |#9 jio]ii] -2 DANcING = 8:30 —’—" Grand March [t 9:0c ¥, 25<. |Concert Band 0] 11| 2 [13[ @ 15116 7| i | i ] conductors and SEEKS ARREST John Gillam Bent on Retaliation. ALAMEDA, Feb. 10.—John Gillam, an aged capitalist, made two unsuccessful | attempts to-day to have a tot of 6 years | prosecuted on a charge of malicious mis- | chief. Justice of the Peace Morris first refused to give Gillam a warrant for the | infant’s arrest, and when he applied to | the District Attorney’s office in Oakland he met with a second refusal. | The child is the son of Stephen J. Far- rell, 2326 Pacific avenue. Gillam and Far- rell had trouble over the pranks of the child, who was accused of breaking win- | dows with an airgun. As a result of the | dificulty Gillam was arrested for disturb- | ing the peace. A jury found him guilty of the charge on Wednesday morning in Justice Morris' court and he was fined $10. Gillam is_bent on retaliating for the expense and notoriety he suffered. Yes- terday he swore to a complaint against the cause of all the trouble for violating a city ordinance which prohibits the dis- charge of airguns within the city limits. The chap appeared at the police station | this morning to surrender his diminutive erson_into the hands of the law’s min- ons. His mother had to hold him in her | arms in order that the police sergeant could take observations from behind the | counter of the station. The child, the mother states, is just getting out of short dresses. He pleaded not guilty before Re- corder St. Sure, who considered the arrest of the child ay ridiculous and allowed him to_go without furnishing bail. Then Gillam sought to have the little fellow arrested for maliclous mischief and for a warrant at the Justices’ Justice Morris would not listen to Gillam’s Xlu and told him to go to the District Attorney’s office and relate his tale of woe there. Gillam followed the advice, but met with another rebuff. The District Attorney told him a conviction could not be secured on the strength of his sad story and that he would not be justified in putting the county to needless ex *“That boy nse.
