OAKLAND, Dec. 20.—J. H. Mullen, busi- ness agent of the Building Trades Coun- cfl, and City Attorney Dow had a wordy war on the City Hall steps this morning, the controversy arising from the fight that is on about the failure of the Board of Public Works to enforce the eight-hour law against city contractors. Mullen | asked Dow if he would submit t6 arrest on & charge of misdemeanor, as presi- | dent of the board, for failing to have an eight-hour _clause inserted in the con- tract of John Worthington for replanking the city wharf. Dow said the mandamus | proceedings heretofore proposed were suf- | ficlent to insure a test of the law. He | objected to the bringing of criminal charges and claimed this move was politi- cal in its nature, a statement Mullen de- nied. nt Mullen declares that counsel for the Building Trades asserts that the |law makes it a misdemeanor for failure {to include the eight-hour clause in any contract made by State, city or smaller political divisions. It is to reach a judi- | cial determination of this question “that | mandamus proceedings to compel the Auditor to draw a warrant in Worthing- ton's favor were decided upon at a con- | ference yesterday. The threatened arrest | of the City Attorney is based upon the theory that he drew the contract now in dispute. { | | PP SRR S Insane From Lack of Work. 29.—Because of threats and commit suicide, William Lamb, 28 years old, residing at { 760 East Fourteenth street, was to-day taken befor‘e' :;Idle ‘l.,\macysfn‘mmlhu‘lun(erl- for. it i, Lt e Tooking for employment.

LIQUOR-DEALERS’ CASES LIKELY TO BE DROPPED End of the Long Fight to Compel Berkeley Saloon-Keepers to Pay Fines. OAKLAND, Dec. 20.—Unless some un- expected developments take place in the Berkeley liquor dealers’ cases the matter will be dismissed by Judge Greene next Monday. The cases have heen attended with bit- ter conténtions since the arrest of the eleven saloon men and thelr conviction and sentence by Justice Edgar of Berke- ley. They were fined $250 each, ‘and at once appealed the cases to the Superior Court. Meanwhile the saloon element be. gan a campaign for the repeal of the prohibitory ordinance under which the convictions were secured. The temperance people did everything in their power to prevent repeal, but final- ly the saloon men gained enough votes in the Town Board to insure their suc- cess before the cases were set for hear- ing before Judge Greene. During the pub- lication of the ordinance in the local pa- per, which was strongly anti-saloon In sentiment, a mistake pccurred in the com- posing-room which delayed the passage of the ordinance until after the date of the hearing in the Superior Court. The liquor dealers, however, secured a contin- uance on the plea of Aftorney Chapman's inability to appear in court. The ordi- nance was , and when the case was called to-day e communication was read from Town Attorney Hayne of Berkeley, giving it as inion t! there was nothing for the court to do but to dis- miss the cases. Judge Greene announced that he would take the matter under ad- visement until Monday. —_——— White enamel bedsteads. Low price at H.

S M ALAMEDA, Dec. 20.—The frightful death by burning which overtook four- year-old Ethel Lambert last night was the result of the child's fondness for fire. On former occasfons she was only saved from death by the intervention of rela- tives. 1In spite of the precautions taken yesterday to keep Ler out of the neigh- bor's house where there was a Christmas tree she gained an cutrance in some u known way, played with the fire and lo: her life.

The children | made their way into the front parlor to | find the Christmas tree. It had only o candle on it. This they secured by getti: upon a chair. They took matches from the kitchen, lighted the candle and had a good time. The remains of a Christmas tree apple which they were roasting with the candle is mute evidence of the joy that preceded the tragedy Just how Ethel's clothes caught fire is rot known. In her n:oments of agony she blamed it upon her companion. He say that she set herself cn fire. But the ex- planations of the infants cannot be relied upon. When Percy saw Ethel all aflame he gave the alarm and Elmer Lambert, the eight-vear-old brother of the baby girl. ran to her rescue. IHe took off his coat te wrap around the child to smother the burning clothing. : Ilien he dashed water upon her. ‘When the father of the child, who was home with his sick wife, was summoned | to the scene he beheld his child standing and clutching a windowsill, with every vestige of clothing burned off her body, which was covered with burns from head to foot. He put her into a_bed and sum- moned Dr. Jacob Green. Later she was taken to the Alameda Sanatorfum, where | she died at midnight The parents of the dead child say that it was almost impossible to keep matches out of her reach. e delighted in being around a fire and struck matches when- ever she could get hold of them.

Y WHIRLED ABOUT IN THE BELTING John Gale Goes Through an Ordeal at the Oakland Iron Works. ALAMEDA, Dec. 29.—While raising a heavy casting over a fast-flying wheel at the Oakland Iron Works this aft oon Harry C. Gale of this city was drawn | to the belting by a dangling rope, sustain- | Ing a terrible injury to the right arm. | That member was horribly lacerated, the flesh hanging in shreds, and the bomes of the upper and lower arm broken in two places. At the time of the accident Gale was assisting with a gang of workmen to raise the massive casting high enough to clear an electric motor, over which it | was to be stored. The men did not notice | the loose rope hanging from above. Sud- denly it caught in the belting running | over the shaft, ‘Gale’'s arm ame tangled and, owing to the rapid motio | he could not free himseif. In a moment | his arm went whirling around with the | shaff, twisting it and crushing it into a shapeless mass. Throughout the tortuous ordeal Gale did | not ery out or lose his presence of mind. | He called to his fellow workmen to re- verse the engine, but before they could | execute the order the belting slipped from | the wheel and freed the mangled arm. ‘The injured man was taken to the home of one of the workmen near by, where his injuries were attended to by a physician. Later he was removed to his home at 1319 Broadway, Alameda. e To Receive Friends.
