Bt Rl Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1115 Broadway, Sept. 22. Complaints made to the Superintendent of Schools that public school pupils are being subjected to overdifficuit extra work at home have been th ct of a close investigation by Superintendent J. W.

The rts 1 have received show that this is being carried out. “In spite of all the care we can give to the regulation of home work, there are many criticisms from parenfs. At the bottom of all the trouble is the fact that the parents who have grievances are un- willing that their children should tak longer than the regular time to com their course, no matter how necesss ich ext on of time may be fc them.

It is also unfortunately true t the pupll who is so constituted as to nable to stand the strain of home study is invariably the one who persists in that kind of work. The policy of the Oakland School De- partment is to avoid any possibility of cramming. Parents whose children have come here from San Francisco schoo have told me that the home work is much lighter than that given across the bay. We want to avoid burdening the child memory and try to give him instead abil- ity to do work and to do it with content- ment." SUIT FOR DAMAGES OVER LEASE CONTRACT Isaac Fiel Claims He Suffered Six Thousand Dollars’ Damages From Former Landlords. OAKLAND, Sept. 22.—TIsaac Flel, who up to a few days ago conducted a jewelry and notion counter in the department store of Salinger Bros. at Eleventh and Washington _streets, - filed suit to-day against A. M. and M. Salinger for $6000 damages, which he claims he sustained because of their alleged violation of a lease held by him of quarters in the Salinger store. Fiel alleges that he was to have the exclusive privilege of selling jewelry and leather goods, but that Sal- inger Bros., taking advantage of his suc- cess, opened an opposition stall and sold the same goods at a price below cost, thus compelling him to operate at a great loss. The plaintiff also claims that instead of being given sixty days' notice to leave the premises, as agreed upon when the lease was made, he was allowed but ten days in which to get out. alinger Bros., the defendants,”give an altogether different version of the diffi- culty. According to the merchants Fiel was ordered from thelr store because he did not deal honestly with them, but used their name in buying goods in order that he might establish a credit with the large San Francisco mércantile honses It was his scheme, they say, to g0 across the bay and buy up goods, have them shipped to Oakland in the name of Salinger Bros. and pay when he could. Fearing the loss of their credit by such procedure, so they assert, Salinger Bros. put a stop to it by ordering Fiel from the store. The brothers deny that he was only given ten days' notice to leave, but assert that he was told to go several months ago. The defendants claim that Fiel injured their business because he attempted to dispose of inferfor goods over his counter. — e ST.

Grenn Allen 2. Ao o AKLAND, Sept. 22.—Out at the University of California mother moon rises these nights over the peak of *‘old grizzly” with blood in her eye; there is war on the mpus. The belligerents who have rred the college atmosphere with such serious charges as insubordination and unfair partiality are no less prominenf voung collegians than Captain Glenn A. Allen, commanding Company A, Univer- sity Cadet Regiment, and Ralph Curtiss, adjotant of that same organization. The young men who compose the sev- eral battallons of the command are still wondering what will be the outcome of the dispute and quarrel which occurred on the parade ground during regimenla.l} drill a few days ago between these mill tary dignitaries while in full marching or- der uniform.

Allen also very vehemently declared that there were other captains who had a similar grievance against Curtiss, but he would not specify who these disgruntled officers were. There was a glimpse of white-gloved | bands waving in the air and bits of ex- cited conversation drifted into the ranks as the two officers aired their differences. And it reached the ears of Captain Henry V. J. 8. A., commandant at the uni- who has final passing upon all appointments. Curtiss declares that Captain Allen's conduct is a reflection upon the aforesatd commandant’s appointments and is there- ore insubordination. But the adjutant says he will make no charges against tain Allen. fore the meeting of the men, Cap- tain Allen went to Commandant Waite — | with a protest against Rowland’s appoint. ment as a second lieutenant, but the co: mandant repiied that the appointment was to stand and that Rowland had r 5 said Adjutant Curtiss, to the commandant about it.

So far as I am concerned nothing more will be done. I hope no action will be taken against Captain Al- len. I have filed no _charges against him and will not do so.” “It was merely a personal row befween Adjutant Curtiss and myself,” was Cap- tain Allen's expianation. “I told him dations for appointments 1 fair.

FIGHT FOR THE CUSTODY OF BOY William Lennefelt and Wife Battle for Possession of Child. —_— Oakland Office San Frahelsco Call, 1118 Broadway, Sept. 22. Three-year-old Wulie Lennefelt was produced in court this morning before Judge Ellsworth on a writ of habeas cor- pus issued several days ago at the in- stance of the father, Willlam C. Lenne- felt, who declared that his wife had spir- ited the child away and refused to allow him to visit him. Mrs. Lennefelt had the boy in court. Though but a few minutes was devoted to the hearing of the writ and the matter was postponed until next Tuesday for final decision, much of the family history of the Lennefelts was aired in court. Tt developed that for some months the rela- tlons of the couple have been far from happy, and_ that violent quarrels were frequent. Some time ago Lennefelt and his wife separated, she going to reside with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Shannon Twenty-third avenue. The child aken by the mother. Lennefelt then Sued for a divorce, but his petition was denfed on the ground of insufficiency of evidence. Lennefelt stated that he made a num- ber of attempts to see his child, but that his wife always refused him entrance to the house, and that her father went so far as to threaten his life if he ventured near his home again. Since that time Lennefelt has kept away from the Shan- non residence, fearing, he asserted, that his irate father-in-law might carry out his threat. When the case was called this morning Attorney Custer asked permission from the court for Lennefelt to visit the child pending_the habeas corpus proceedings. Judge %}llswonh replied that unless some good reason to the contrary could be shown he did not see why the father should be kept away from his child. ““Mrs. Lennefelt is in mortal fear of this man,” interrupted Attorney Holman. “He has threatened to kidnap the child and she is afraid that he will carry his threat into execution.” In reply to Holman, Lennefelt's counsel sald he would guarantee to the court that Lennefelt would conduct himself grnperly it allowed to visit the child, and would make no attempt to take the boy from the custody of his mother. “T will, if it is desired,” sald Custer, “place Mr. Lennefelt on the stand to tes- tify that his wife’s father, Mr. Shannon, threatened to kill him if Jhe ever came to the Shannon home again.’ Attorney Holman promised the court that Lennefelt would be allowed to visit the boy without molegtation from his w"'"ap'i‘\mf“:h and .{u(}n tElllwml"tlh nted the father permission to visit his md this afternoon. The further hear- ing of the case was continued until next Tuesday. Before leaving the courtroom Lennefelt walked over to where his wife held their child and bhugged and kissed the boy. CHINA BASIN SEAWALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED Commissioner of Works Mendell Ad- vises Full Control of Proposed Improvement by State. The Mayor received a communication yesterday from President Mendell of the Board of Public Works in which the la ter recommends that provision be made for the full control by ‘the State of the seawall to be constructed by the Santa Fe Rallroad in front of China Basin. Mr. Mendell says: 1 understand that while the proposed agrees- ment with the Santa Fe Rallroad provides that under certain conditions the public shall have use of @ street 100 feet wide along the bay front of China Basin the public may have the whole width of 200 feet, provided the State build a section of the seawall 1000 feet in length in southerly continuation of the wall to be built in front of China Basin. The estimated cost of this section is $150.000, the yearly Inter- est upon which will be $5000 In view of the large and obscure possibilities of the next fifty years, both as may relate to development of commercial interests and in- conveniences embarrassments due to want of full control of the seawall by the Harbor Commissioners and the city the insignificance barrass- | of $5000 per year relative to possible em| ments is apparent.
