WITH UNQUALIFIED FAVOR Eastern Divine Makes Baptist Congregation and a Splendid Impression on the First It Is Regarded as Almost Cer- tain the Church*Will Ask Him to Become Its Pastor . S + AKLAND, July 15.—The impression of intellectual power and personal dignity and charm created by the first appearance of the Rev. H. J. Vosburgh before the congregation of the First Baptist Church yesterday has gepgerally confirmed the members of that body in the hope that Dr. Vosburgh, whose coming they have long anticipated, is the right man to fill the vacant pastor- ate of this church. -3 PRSI + ELOQUENT EASTERN MINISTER WHO MAY BE CALLED TO FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH. — £ The committee on pulpit supply at the end of a careful canvass of the available candidates recommended him unqualified- ly. The minds of the members of the com- mittee were practically made up before they had seen or heard him. Now that the eminent clergyman has by his own presence fulfilled all their prophecies, there seems little doubt that he will re- ceive a call from the church: Mr. Vosburgh said to-night with regard to his impression of the field: “There can be no question that this is an attractive location and that it offers an opportunity for wide usefulness. T like it, and the people. Of course, I can hardly express an opinion as to the outcome of my stay among them.” C. F. Baker, a leading member of the church, said: “It is too early to say anything about a call. In our church every member has an equal voice as to that. All whom T have heard express themselves, and they have been many, have been of the one opinion, that this is the leader we have been searching for. We have hoped that it would be so. The church has awaited his coming with confidence and expectancy. He seems-to be the man.” @ ittt @ TWO INPORTANT WORKS BEGUN First Move Toward the Tunnel Road and Postoffice. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1115 Broadway, July 15. Twq important steps in the development of Oakland were taken to-day. The first move towatd the construction of the tun- | nel road into Contra Costa County was msade by the Board of Supervisors and ground was broken for the new postoffice building. The tunnel road has long been a cher- ished plan in Oakland. The greater part of the road was bullt as a toll road twen- ty vears ago by L. W. Kennedy. The tunnel was even then started, but funds gave out and the road was never Com- pleted. The people of Oakland have been | trying for years to find some means of finishing the road and diverting into Oak- land some of the trade and travel from | that portion of Contra Costa County. But the Supervisors always held that they had no power to construct a tunnel be- tween counties, and private funds could never be secured, The people of Oakland went before the last Legislature and secured the passage of an act that would enable the Boards of Supervisors of Alameda and Contra Costa counties to complete the tunnel and build the road. The first formal step was taken to-day under the new law when a petition was presented to the Alameda County Stuper- vieors by citizens of Claremont road dis- trict asking that viewers be appointed to open the road. The petition was signed by Daniel McMahon, John Keyes, W. D. Pryal, Caesar Young, L. D. Smith, C. H. Alifson, D. Garmaw, John Schmidt, M. C. Fahey, A. McMullan, L. Helmbold, J. A. C. Macdonald and M. M. Dunn. The Supervisors appointed the following as viewers, and the completion of the road will now be hurried: E. C. Prather, J. F. W. Sohst and Wilbur Walker. The breaking of ground for the new Postoffice was not accompanied by any ceremonies and it was not a very impos- ing beginning. But humble as it was it means much to Oakland, for inside of a year and a half this city will have a Fed- eral building in which to house its Post- office, Sub-Custom-House and other Fed- eral offices. W. T. 8. Hoyt, the Govern- ment Superintendent of Construction, has arrived and opened offices in Oakland. He was present this morning when Maurice Harty turned the first shovelful of earth for Contractor Barrett and began work on the new building. ———————————— Plumbers’ Union Elects Officers.

NEW GHALLENGER WIS THE FINAL She Outsails Shamrock I Over a Thirty-Six- Mile Course. b0l Rt ROTHESAY, Firth of Clyde, July 15.— The final racing trial of the two Sham- | rocks to-day was over a thirty-six mile course, from (‘raigmore to Skelmorlie, | thence to Tomont-End, off Largs, and { back to the starting point. This course | was salled twice over. A fresh strong lv\-esterly wind of from thirteen to four- | teen knots was blowing. The challenger | had the better of the maneuvering for position, and led the Shamrock I over the |line by ‘about three lengths. The run to | Skelmorlie was dead down the wind, and | the challenger rapidly increased her lead, | rounding the first mark at Skelmorlie one | minute ana fifty-seven seconds ahead of the Shamrock I. On the broad, easy reach to Tomont-End the challenger increased | her lead until she was two and one-half minutes ahead, when she encountered a softer wind and the ex-challenger closed up. Turning ihe Erin, off Tomont-End, the Shamrock II was one minute and for- | ty-three seconds ahead. The boats conld have fetched home from this point, but in order to give a turn to windward the Erin steamed away and laid a new mark off Mount Stewart. The vachts then beat across the Firth on short tacks, the challenger gaining on every board. After a foLr-mile heat the two boats rounded the Erin, the Sham- rock II two minutes and twenty seconds ahead of the older boat. Reaching ten miles up channel the chal- lenger outsailed the older boat, and the timing of the turn at Inverkeep Bay | showed a_difference of mine minutes in . | favor of the Shamrock II The boats then reached for Largs, where the Shamrock II was still nine minutes ahead of the old boai. During the run home from Largs the Shamrock I expe- rienced a big fluke and closed up her dis- | tance, finishing one and a half minutes | astern of the Shamrock 1L | "On the last leg the Shamrock T was helped by a rain sqpall, which did not touch the challenger, and enabled the former challenger to close the separating gap. "Hhe correct time of the finish is: Sham- rock II, three hours thirty-nine minutes five seconds: Shamrock I, three hours for- ty minutes forty-five seconds. The fluke which enabled the ex-chal- lenger to finish £o close to the challenger does not, in tie opinion of the experts, detract in any way from what is regard- ed as a splendid performance on the part orAthehshamri)ckl II. t the conclusion of the trials an - Glate start was made toward dlsmu’l?t‘fi‘nez { the challenger.

Freitas of Oakland COUNCIL AUTHORIZES TAKING OF APPEAL Water Rate Case to Be Carried to SupremeCourt by City Attor- ney Johnson. OAKLAND, July 15.—The City Council to-night authorized the City Attorney to proceed with the appeal of the water-rate case from the decision of Judge Hart, un- der which rates have been fixed for the present and the coming fiscal year. This action terminates a contest which has been waged over the question of carrying the famous case to the court of last re- sort ever gince the present Council was organized. The opponents of appeal fin- ally gave way on the ground that the peo- ple demanded it without regard for the prospect of succe;;, But while the appeal was ordered, City” Attorney Johnson will have to take it alone and without help. An ordinance was passed directing the City Auditor to pay the bills of the water company against the city for the current year. At the suggestion of Auditor Breed a resolution was passed authorizing the transfer of the unused balances in all the other funds to the high school and gen- eral funds, an aggregate amount of $74,- 781 8.

CRICKETERS SETTLE A KNOTTY QUESTION At a meeting of the California Cricket Association held last night in this city delegates were present from the Alameda, California, Pacific and Santa Cruz clubs. The object of the meeting was to con- sider the protest of the Alameda Club against the status of the delegates of the California Club, it being contended that By forfeiting its matches at the close of Jast season and failing to reorganizo at the beginning of this year the Californlas had lost their right to membership in the association. On behalf of the Californias it was urged that its dues to the associa- tion had been duiy paid and accepted. and that the business transacted at the annual meetirg, at which the California delegates were present, had been confirmed at the next meeting. After all the delegates had spoken the California Club was accepted as a member of the association and its delegates were recognized. Notice was given of an amendment to the by-laws, which will be considered at a meeting to be held on July 20. Another important matter to be considered at the meeting_will be the denfand of the Cali- fornia delegates that the Alameda Club forfeit all matches won during the present season on account of having included in its team a player who left one of the as- sociated clubs in bad standing. s Moriarty.

Complaints were filed against the plac kept by Charles Tepper, R. E. Taylor an Mrs. B. Walliser, and protests were be< fore the board against the renewal of licenses to Peter C. Nielsen and L. Faur the latter the proprietor of the notoriou: Hermitage. Rev. F. B. Rhoda conducted the prose< cution against Nielsen and Faure, wha were defended by M. C. Chapman. In th@ fight against the other three places Snook & Church appeared for the protestants and A. L. Frick for the accused. Frick later withdrew because the board would not order the cases continued on accouny of non-compliance with the legal allow= ance of time within which to plead. Lawyers Not Wanted. Supervisor Mitchell sald that lawyers were not needed there anyhow, ufi”e was already wrangling enough, and as for the time limit the board was compe- tent to go ahead with an investigatiom one time as well as another. Frick re~ torted that he was not thers to wrangle but for the protection of his clients’ ine terests. The board proceeded with the Faur and Nielsen cases first. Chapman ask that the charges be dismissed, as they were not regularly filed and contalned no specific complaints. From the wording of the protests, he said, it might be seem that the residents were objecting to all the saloons in Fruitvale, whereas the in- vestigation was directed solely against his clients. The board refused to dismiss the case and asked for testimony in sups port of the protest. Rhoda said he would put no witnesses on the stand. Chapman accused the minister of wanting a chance to heap abuse on his clients. He again asked for a dismissal, but the board di« rected Mr. Rhoda to proceed. Rhoda said the protest was based onm two technical points—first, that Faure and Nielsen signed each other’s petitions; secs ond, that neither presented an affidavit of good character. Supervisor Rowe said that if the pros testants had any testimony to support their claims they must offer it at onge. Ira L. Aymer was then sworn, and tes- tified that he had heard of the fll-reputa of the Hermitage as far away as Los An. geles before coming to Oakland. He sal that hoodlums stood outside the place an insulted passersby, both ladies and gentle~ men. Daniel Wilmore testified that he had seen women coming from the age in an intoxicated condition. He said that the worst feature of the place was the crowd of tough young men and women who came there from Oakland and San | Francisco. Charles Reynolds, an officer in the Sal- vation Army, testified that Faure, his wife and his sons were in the habit of applying abusive epithets to the army people during their meetings. He said that carriages brought women there at night. Hjs Home Desecrated. Superintendent William Rutherford o the California Cotton Mills said that hi home in_Fruitvale was desecrated by the riotous drunkenness of the frequenters of the resorts under. investigation. “It is a farce,” he said, “to come hers time after time and protest against this outrage. The Supervisors should long ago have compelled the District Attorney to institute proceedings against -thesa places.” Mr. Rutherford sald that recently he had seen fighting going on outside the Hermitage and told of seeing a man and woman come from the place too drunk to stand up. For the defense Chapman offered the testimony of Condt ables Jerry Quinlan hand Cramer, Policeman Gardiner, W. S. Dunleavy and John Ferren of the Oake jand_Transit Company to the effect that the Hermitage was a quiet and orderly place. The board next took up the complaints ‘Walliser, Charles Tepper E. Taylor. After Judge Frick's witkdrawal Tepper's daughter represent- ed him. The testimony against these re- sorts was similar to that in the other cases. One man sald he had seen girla standing on- chairs at Tepper's and kick- ing at hats held for them by their male companions, the latter shouting “High- er!” He had seen both boys and girls in- toxicated there.
