Bar- ton, John Lutgen, E. W. Maslin and George H. Mastick. The personnel of the board remains as it was appointed two weeks ago. To-night's appointments practically set- tle the fight for and against Mrs. Chap- man’s appointment. Mr. Bowers has ad- vised his colleagues to abide by the de- cision of the president of the City Trus- tees, and, while the new appointees nom- inally have ten days In which to decide whether to accept or not, they have prac- decided to let the matter rest. Trustee Mastick sald to-night that, now that the matter has gone so far as to give Mrs, Chapmen the legal Tight to a place on the Board of Library Trustees, it is settled as far as he is concerned. It was found that the appointment of & member of the Library Board by each of the City Trustees did not conform to the law, which requires the president of the City Trustees 10 make the appointments; hence the action of two weeks ago, w}:fin e was rescinded at to-night's to clear the way for the appoint- y_the vresident. After the Library Trustees were dis- trustees, meetin | posed of the board took up the Police De- artment. Trustee Hammond introduced 2 resolution declaring all positions on the department vacant.

' Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, April 29, A mysterlous dog poisoner did deadly work last night, causing the death of Queen Bess, one of the most famous English setters on the Pacific Coast, owned by W. M. Fitzmaurice, residing at Fifteenth and Castro streets. The dog was killed in some mysterious way by strychnine. Fitzmaurice 1s com- pletely at a loss to know how the poison was administered. He noticed the dog at her kennel in evident pain and the symptoms of strychnine polsoning were clearly apparent. Everything that could be done to save the valuable setter was done, but without avail. Queen Bess was eight years old and had been exhibited in all of the big bench shows in California. In 1898 she won the Herman Oelrichs cup for the best English getter In the San Francieco Kennel Club's show agalinst thirty-four competitors. Fitzmaurice valued her at $00. He said to-dafr: “There {sn't any direct proof that the dog was dellberately polsoned by some miscreant, but I cannot but believe that this was the way she got the polson, be- cause & neighbor of ours lost a dog the same day by poison and I am satisfied aha:hthe same hand is responsible for both leaths. “When my dog came home last e T wab Gtiracted o Her by, hot acciik I have had sufficlent experience in hand- ling doge to know what was the matter and T immediately saw that she had been poisoned.

SRR Oaklanders Spend an Entire Night on the Bay in a Yawl o B B Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, April 29. A yachting party of Oaklanders on the vawl Venita, Captain Austin, had a peril- ous all-night battle with the storm last night. Thelr absence caused their friends and relatives in this city considerable alarm, that was not allayed until noon to- day, when the yachtsmen returned, cold, wet, tired and half starved after their trying experience. The Venita left Oakland morning, carrying, besides the skip- per, Captain Austin, J. W. Tay- lor, his son Joseph Taylor, Van | Ness' Taylor, son of Assistant Jailer George W. Taylor of the County Jail, and a Mr.‘Butler. The party headed for up the bay and the Venita was well on her trip when the storm broke that was re- sponsible for their struggle for hours against wind, rain and sea. Captain Aus- tin was unwilling to try to beat home against the strong southeaster. The Ve- nita was handy enough, but he hadn't any sailors to assist him and finally decided to run up under the lee of Sheep Island and try to find anchorage until the storm should abate. Before they got into any kind of shelter the Venita's party was drenched. The prospect of staying all night without shel- ter was far from inviting, especially as the yachtsmen had not provisioned their | littls craft for so long a stay. For hours | they erouched in the tossing boat, exposed yesterday of rellef when at last day dawned and with it came the abaterment of the storm. | There were many anxious minds relieved | when the yachtsmen, bedraggled and | worn, moored the boat'in the estuary and made their way to their homes this noon.

DECIDE T0 BEG SUBSLAIFTIONS Citizens Take Steps To- ward Keeping High Schools Open. * Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, April 29. The citizens of Oakland, and particular- ly the parents of the 1100 pupils in the high schools, have been called upon to make good by pemsonal subscription the $10,000 that is required to keep open the schools during the full term. This was the actlon taken to-night at a citizens’ meeting held at the school assembly h‘l.llJ in Lafayette Park at the call of the Board of Education to consider the condi- tions which have threatened the closing of the high schools because the fund for payment of teachers’ salarfes is ex- hausted. After a long preliminary canvass of the situation three resolutions were adopted, one presented by Hugh Craig, covering the subscription plan, and another by John P. Irish, n a committee of five to devise measures for raising the money., This committee is composed of Fred L. Button and Glles H. Gray, rep- resenting the School Board; J. L. Lyon, 1 Kahn and John Yule. The third resolution, Introduced by -+ lyn Bunting, Mrs, Clarence Man, Miss Alice Baker, Miss Anna’ Price, Miss Ida Price, Miss Helen Bristol, Fred Hood, Mrs. Kynnerseley, Miss Fanny Pray, Mrs. Miiton Pray, Mrs. Clark Burnham, Miss Emma McMullen, Mrs. Linda_ Bryant, Miss Mae Cook, Miss Ida Voorman, Miss Ada Rus- sell, Mrs.' C. J. Bandman, Miss Dinkelspeil, Mrs. Henry Dutton, Miss Polly Dunn. T e o] John Yule, declared the sense of the meet- ing to be that the high schools should not be closed. It was the confidently ex- pressed opinion of those present ‘hat the money will be raised to pay the teachers, all of whom were at their posts to-day. Those at the meeting pledged their best efforts to secure full payment to the teachers. President C. H. Redington of the Board of Education was chairman and W. W. Garthwait was secretary of the meeting. After Chairman Redington and School Di- rector Giles H. Gray had explained the financial situation, City Superintendent of Schools J. W. McClymonds said: “The organization of the Central High School was on_the unanimous opinion of two Boards of Education, a wise, just and a paying proposition. The former City Council may have thought it was right, but the board also belleved its action was right. “But 1t Is not right to ask the t to contribute one-sixth ‘of Ihelr years earnings to get the city out of its diffi- culty. They are loyal to the schools, and because of their loyalty they should not be imposed upon.” The Board of Education met informally after the meeting and directed Syperin- tendent McClymonds to issue an address ard to devise at once a plan of secretly handling _subsecriptions through the School Department at once. The board members said thev would attend to the direct patrons of the schools, leaving the committee to make the general canvass for funds. Found Wandering in Streets.
