A. Brown Desires His Land Returned by His Hypnotic Bride. e Declares She Defrauded Him Out of | Half His Property and Much Money Under Protestations of Love. S Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, March 3. | After squandering about all his fortune | on the object of his love, Willlam A. Brown says that he has been the victim of the hypnotic powers of Anna Marie ‘Whitney, whom he has presented to the world as_his lawful wife for over two years. He is now satisfied that she is flickle and he wants his presents back by way of a suit in the Superior Court. The hg'pnoflc romance of Brown's love dream had its Incipiency in September, | 1567, when he and Anna Marie Whithes | conducted a lodging house on Golden Gate | avenue, near Polk street, San Francisco, | where the innocent Willlam furnished her with every necessity of life and, as he asserts, “‘treated her in every manner as his wife.” And as for her, “during all the time and up to September of last year she expressed great love and affec- tion for him and his welfare.” uent- |1y, he declares, he promised to marry her, | and his love grew so strong under the | powers she exerted over him that last | he executed and aellvered to her a | bargain and sale d for an undivided one-half interest in his Golden Gate ave- nue property. At divers times he also be- stowed upon her jewelry and money moununr to $5000. In a t begun in the Alameda County Superior Court this afternoon against Anna Marle Whitney, he says he made the conveyance of part of his real estate to her, “I use of the undue influence power exe by her over him; that all her expressions of love and af- fection for him were false: that at no time did she have any feelings of love or affection for him, but all such Tes- sions and statements were made for the purpose of fraudulently and wickedly ob- taining his properg.' rown_aj the ed | In his prayer peals to | court to have Anna M. Whithey adjud, guilty of fraud: that he be given ju ment for the $5000 she has on de the banks and which money he claims is identical to that he gave her. He also asks that the court declare the Fruitvale tract as bdniehdd by her in trust; that all his gifts be revoked; that a receiver be appointed to take charge of the per- sonal property, and that an injunction is- sue to prevent her disposing of any of it. I J. Truman Jr. and J. E. Segur appear as Brown's attorneys. Mermaid Sighted. PORT TOWNSEND, March 3.—All fears | for the safety of the overdue bar] - | maid, which sailed for Unalaska k(h?;"ter. seven days ago for Puget Sound, were al- layed to-day by the arrival of the ship St. Nicholas, which vessel reports having spoken the Mermaid.

Gross Carelessness on the Part of the Railroad Regarded by Friends as Responsible for the Sad Affair. A R Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, March 3. Frank King, an employe at the Judson Iron Works, aged 6) years, was run down and killed this afternoon by a | Southern Pacific special train that was | backing up from the Oakland mole to the racetrack at Emeryville. The aged man had quit his day’s labor at the iron works shortly before 5| o’clock, and, with his umbreila spread to protect him from the rain, was walking n a southerly direction between the rail- | road tracks, near B street station. He was bound for home, and had his um- brella against the wind and rain. He did not hear the approach of the backing train and was struck full force. His body was horribly mangled. W. T. Burns, L. Alveres and Manuel Ross, who were eye-witnesses to the ac- cident, state that a brakeman was sta- tioned on the rear platform of the ap- proaching train and that he tried to sig- nal to the engineer to stop the train, but | all to no avall, and that before they could | apprise King of the rapidly approaching | danger or reach him to prevent its fatal | culmination the train was upon him. | They attribute King’s death to the gross | carclessness of the railroad company In | 8 DD AT QT DDA backing its trains from the mole Emeryville. body was removed to the Morgue and Coroner Mehrmann has ordered that an Inquest be beld next Monday evening.

SEE The Woman's Exchange has In contem- plation an afternon tea or musicale for the benefit of the oragnization’s fund. The house warming given recently proved such a succes in every way that the ladies interested are eager to further advertise their charity. The exchange has never been better patronized nor was it ever in 2 healthier condition than now, and it has been found that the move to Thirteenth and Franklin streets, the present iocation, was wise. ey The prettiest event of the week was the entertainment given on Thursday evening by Oakland Chapter No. 140, Or- Sor ot the Bastern Star. They called it “An Evening in Japan,” and everything in the way of decorations, music and cos- tumes was in harmony with the central idea. The room was decorated In imita- tion of a Japanese tea garden. The music was from ‘‘The Mikado” and the partici- pants were all costumed in the flowing robes of Japan. There was a drill by young ladies in costume, under the com- mand of Captain Henry Levy, in which the following participated: Edith Batch- elder, Christine Cameron, Emma Cam- eron, Mabel Crowell, Ada Cockerton, Rose Champion, Inez Dynes, Etta Eiben, Eleth Hollenbeck, Bessie Kellogg, Belle Ken- dall, Estelle Lightner, Rose Laughland, Laura_Leber, Betta Muller, Sophie Muller, Lois Mendenhall, Mabel Moseley, Mabel Ross, Mabel Ransome, Leona Shaw, Charlotte Towle, Dora Wishart, Lilllan Warner. There were several other num- bers on the programme, some specialties by three little maids—Essie Church, Ethel Foberts and_Gladys Church; song for trombone, John Laughland; the “Goldfish Song,” Mrs. Lin Church; juggling, Charles Slamberg; and “Chon Kina,” from ‘‘The Geisha,”” Miss Etta Eiben. The success of the entertainment was due to Mrs. Al Kendall, Mrs. E. L. Warner, Mrs. Edith Batchelder and Mrs. Carrie H. Bassett.

By EDWIN MEESE, Councilman Fourth Ward. O MY mind the question of bonds or no bonds is a plain business proposition. 1If the city of Oak- land is to maintain its place among the progressive cities of this coast it must show the outside world not only that it possesses nat- ural advantages, making it a desirable place of abode for the retired gentle- man as well as for the merchant, the artisan, the laborer, all struggling for 2 home, but also that it is alive to its future possibilities and willing to con- tribute toward attaining the same. The only question then arising is, What can and should be done in this regard? That nothing in the way of “betterments” can be done with funds recefved from the tax levy has been abundantly shown. I believe, to the satisfaction of every taxpayer, the only avenue open to accomplish any- thing being the {ssuance of bonds. As to the nature of the improve- ments for which bonds should be fs- sued. the contemplated sewers. inter- cepting, continuation of main lake from Adeline west, east side outlet, etc., appeal most strongly to my mind, perhaps because as chairman of the Street Committee T have become fami The salt water sprinkling plant return the outlay in a very few years the present system needs no urging. provements. Oakland has never appealed In vain and sites are a matter of protection. raflroads and would undoubtedly stand mercial ditles. those against. sition to the voters. ATTACKS ON CITY ENGINEERS STILL CONTINUES Rowe Is After Clement and Schaffer Out for M. K. Miller. President of the Council Declares the City Engineer Negligent and a Councilman Declares Miller Incompetent. e Osakland Office San Francisco Call, | 1118 Broadway, March 3. The bombardment of Consulting Engi- neer M. K. Miller and City Engineer R. M. Clement, in the line of battle now waging at the City Hall, still continues and there is no cessation to the hostili- ties. When the fight was in its infancy it was so conducted one side would fire a shot, and then there would be & few days of rest, followed by a shot from the other side. Now the bombardment is con- tinuous on each side, and there are indi- cations that it will be brought up in the Council on Monday evening and the courts later. President H. D. Rowe of the City Coun- ofl has been slugging City Engineer Clem- ent and accusing him of not finishing city work and drawing money for work which he was instructed to do but which he has | not completed. Mr. Clement replied, e: plaining some of the delays as due to his sickness, and asserting that his apparent- Iy large fees were caused by the platting of the annexed district for new sewers, which was a large and expensive ple of work. While this was going on, Coun- cilman Louis Schaffer was throwing shot into the camp of Consulting Engineer M. K. Miller, and Miller was replying as the occasion warranted. To-day President Rowe returned to the -dment with the charge that City }’5‘;&"“1‘:1‘2:\‘ Clement has neglected his du- tles, and a demand will be made at the Council meeting on Monday that he shall report the exact condition of all work that has been ordered by that body. In his letter to-day Rowe says: Mr. peaks for itself.

The city records prove my statement, and 1 challenge Mr. Clement to deny it. If Mr. Clement desires a controversy in regard to his official acts 1 1 be pleased to present to the public at least a partial list of his shortcomings. The Coun- cil has tolerated his official neglect until patience ceased to be a virtue, and now that we have a large amount of engineering work which must be done in connection with the bond issue and have employed a man for the purpose, I do not propose that he and his political and official supporters shall successfully interfere with it. The Counctl desires to submit the bonding proposition to the people, and it appears that Mr. Clement and his friends would tie the whole thing up because he has not been given engineering: and I think I have shown good and suff- clent reasons for not doing so H. D. ROWE, President City Couneil Councilman Louis Schaffer attacks the proposed fee system for Engineer Miller an ttacks Miller as an engineer. He says The irrepresaible tax eater, M. K. Miller, is again trying to get another and a larger hold upon the public treasury. He found his hold at $200 a month upon the public treasury was slipping away from him. The public as well as some of the Councilmen were trying to break his hold, owing to the extremely low ebb of the city treasury, but he is apparently not to be shut off. as he advocating a fee system for preparing plans and estimates for contemplated improve- ments. That is & good plan for M. K. Miller. He would manage with the assistance of the chief knockers of the city to pull down from $8000 to $10,000 with the pretense that it would only cost $500 or $500. is is common history, as can be verified by hundreds of taxpayers. who wers be- gulled by his flippant statements, to have streets improved in front of their property that he said would only cost 25 front foot. but had finally have threatened him with suit for the differ- ence. as he guaranteed the cost to be nine- tenths less than they had to pay. They found that his guarantees were about as unreliable as the many statements that he made on the platform at the last election, when he was defeated by an honest, com- petent graduate for the position of City En- gineer. T think the Council should decline to act in this matter until the committee of one hun- dred. com: of some of the best and most practical men in our city, who have more interest in putting our city in the front rank than they have in doing politics and providing soft snaps for incompetent polit- ical bosses.
