From the Cvert In- cident. [ Oakland Office San Francisco Call, | 1118 Broadway, Nov. 16. Something of a teapot tempest has been raised in the local School Department by the summary chastisement or one of the intractable students of the High School by Paul J. Mohr, instructor in mathe- matics and sciences. Considerable noto- riety hes been the lot of Mr\ Mohr for his action and it has been talked over by the school authorities, but now it has simmered down to the point where the culprit makes his peace with his mentor and fellow pupils and there is hardly any- | thing more to discuss. Instructor Mohr will probably have his attention directed to his infraction of tne department rule, whi prohibits teachers from laying on their charges, even if they are Ty The incident which has caused all the | hubbub occurred yesterday afternoon when Edward Fickes, a 16-year-old mem- | ber of the B ninth class at the High School, crossed Mr. Mohr. Under partic- ularly exasperating circumstances the in- | structor found it difficult to keep his head | and he seized the boy by the coat collar, elapped him on the cheeks and tMen hus- ted him out of the room on the double quick. Some of the other students be- | came frightened, it is said, at Mr. Mohr's ude and rushed from the room. It is e who are credited with spreading the | story of misapplied authority. | ~Instructor Mohr thinks he was alto- | gether justified in pursuing the course he did, although he regrets that in a mo- | ment of anger he committed an infrac- tion of one of the rules of the depart- ment. His version of the affair is as follows: I had occasion to call the class to order yes- terday afternoon and in the course of my re- marks I took occasion to say that maniiness and courtesy in the classroom was a much more important matter even than the sclences we had been discussing. This boy repeated the words “‘manliness” and ‘‘courtesy”’ after me in mockery, and under the circumstances 1 could not help but feel angry. 1 tock him by the lapels of the coat with my left band and slapped him with my right on the cheek. Then I asked him how he dared to | say enything at such & moment. He asked me | what he had done and tried to give the im- pression that he had done nothing. I raised him from his seat then ang walked him out of the room. This morning I called on the boy's father. y bad not told him of anything that had | occurred. I explained the whole matter to him | and he said I had done just right. We had an interview with the boy, during which he ad- mitted he was wrong and signed a statement in which he spologized for his conduct toward me and the class. School Superintendent McClymonds was inclined to be non-committal in his views of the case. He asserted that the boy had been deservedly punished, but thought that his acts did not justify the instructor in using violence. “Yes,” 'said Superintendent McCly. monds, “I think the boy got what he d served, but it seems to me that his con- duct does not warrant the breaking of Ebe x'ulexs of ill;\f Board of Education. orporal punishment is prohibited in th schools o? this city.” 2 As to what action the Board of Educa- tion would take in the matter Superin- tendent McClymonds said he was not pre- pared to eay. “The rules belong to the board and it is for the directors to determine what shall be done,” explained the Superin- tendent.

HONOLULU, Nov. 8.—Mrs. Theresa Wilcox, wife of the Hawalian delegate to Congress, has started a sémi-weekly pa- per in this city, devoted to the Home Rule Republican party. It is named the Home Rule Republican. 8. Meheula, clerk of the House of Representatives, is the edi- tor. The first issue of the paper appeared 2 week ago. In the prospectus the editor says in speaking of the establishment of American government here: ‘““We, the Hawaiians, have had this in- estimable boon conferred on us through the exigencies and necessities of the United States in their Spanish-American war. The past is gone and irrevocable. Scme of us Hawaiians no doubt would gladly welcome back the former condi- tion of things, if things could be restored to just how they were during the mon- archy, but the majority of us recognize the futility of such a dream and desire with all our hearts to educate such of our race to the point of understanding and appreciating the glorious boon of ‘equal rights’ of the free and unrestricted ballot. “The Hawalian i8 now standing at the crossways of life, undecided which path- way to e. The aections of some of those who should have been his guides and friends have created distrust. A new order of things has been thrust ugon him, He is eager and anxious to do his duty and to qualify himself for the new ones.” The paper is published in both Hawaiian and English and is mostly devoted te po- litical subjects. Fortifications in Hawaii. HONOLULU, Nov. 10.—The TUnited States Army Board appointed to select sites and make plans for the fortification of Honolulu and Pearl Harbor has been at work here for the past few days. It is understood that & number of suitable locations have been settled upon, but they will not be made public yet. 'At Pearl Harbor, it is stated, there will be a large turret, some distance out to sea from the entrance, commanding the approach for many miles. Violates Eight-Hour Law. HONOLULU, Nov. 10.—W. M. Camp- bell, formerly of San Francisco, was ‘ried in the Federal Court 'last week on a charge of violating the United States ht-hour law by working his men nine hours a day on the Government contract on_the naval reservation. He employs Japanese and the proceedings were ins tuted by the local labor unions. Camp- bell was acquitted by a jury, as was also his subcontractor, Oha, a Japanese, who was tried on a similar charge. [ —— Polygamy in Hawaii. HONOLULU, Nov. 10.—A number of prosecutions under the Edmunds act are engaging the attention of the Federal Court. In one case a couple who pleaded guilty to a certain charge were married while in custody. Judge Estee used his influence to have the sentence reprieved by Governcr Dole, and the President has been asked to grant a pardon. ST et Clubhouse at Pearl Harbor. HONOLULU, Nov. 10.—The new Hono- lulu Yacht Club is considering plans for a clubhouse at Pearl Harbor. One will probably be erected in the near future either on shore or afloat. Plans are under consideration for a quite elaborate boat- o 4 Bouse. ERKELEY, Nov. 16.—The seniors of the University of California are preparing for one of the clos- ing class events of their coliege life. Annually near the end of the first term they hold a soclak gathering exclusively for members of the graduating class and it is toward this pleasant event that their eyes are now turned. Miss Alameda@©unty 4 33 Evearnag Mary Jewett, the president of the class, term, has appointed committees to plan STUDENTS WL THGE THE STUMP To Do Campaign Work for the School Bonds in Alameda. ALAMEDA, Nov. 16—High school boy orators® on the stump, arguing for the carrying of the $100,000 school bonds, will be the feature of the campaign now being waged in favor of the proposition. Next week the young speakers are to be selected, posted upon the issue involved and instructed how to “do politics” in the best and patriotic sense of the phrase. F. N. Delanoy, president of the Board of Trade, will give the chosen spell-binding youths a series of heart-to-heart lectures on the latest improved methods of carry- ing a contest at the polls.. There are more than 2500 pupils in dally attendance/at the public schools, and it is confidently calculated by the supporters of the bond movement that parents can, through the perstlasion of their children, be induced to take an active interest in promoting the success of the undertaking, Class meetings and mass meetings of the scholars of the high school and the several grammar schools will be held. The necessity of bonds.for school fmn- provements and extension will be ex- plained by the duly authorized speakers, and each and every pupil will' be urged to do all he or she can to place the matter before parents in its practical light. ‘With few exceptions all the members of the Board of Trade are for the issuance of school bonds. President Delanoy is enthusiastic over the plan of enlisting the school children in the battle for bonds. “] am going to secure from Prinei A. W. Scott of the high school twelve brainy boys,” said he. “I will form them into a central committee ard we will lay out our programme for meetings and work just as If we were conducting a city or county election campalgn, he bonds must carry. It is a public need. When we enroll the 2500 school children of Alameda in the cause, as we expect to do, there can be but one result, and that will be victory. Each child will be a walking delegate, 50 to speak, to see that the bonds are not overlooked. We will com- mence our labors next week and will have to be nvel;g, as the election occurs on November 29" To Preafh on “Mile Limit” Saloon.

W., WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.—Senator Hanna of Ohlo, who is one of the chief advocates of the ship subsidy legislation, again finds the strongest opposition in his own camp. Representative T. E. Bur- ton of Cleveland, Hanna's home city, has returned to the capital entertaining more strongly than ever his dld feeling against the shipping measure. As Burton will again father the river and harbor bill, the history of the last session may be repeated in the defeat of the pet schemes of both Hanna and Bur- ton.” In speaking of the subsidy bill Bur- ton sald: “I am opposed to the measure just as I was last winter. I do not believe in the principle. I do not believe it would be permanently effective In bullding up our merchant marine, nor that its bene- {its would accrue in the way of reduced freight rates for our agricultural- and other products.” Congress failed to pass the subsidy bill last winter. It fafled to pass the river and harbor bill. The defeat of the latter measure was_attributed to the failure of the former. ading advocates of appro- priations for river and harbor improve- ments asserted that the men most earn- est in urging the ship subsidy legislation were tesponsible for the defeat of the river and harbor bill. This 1mlpeachment was not vigorously denfed. It was be- lieved then and is believed now that the measure which bore Burton's name would have passed had fatal opposition not de- veloped against the subsidy bill. sident Roosevelt will recommend legislation looking toward the upbuilding of the American merchant marine. He will not, however, suggest any specific measure or meaps cf accomplishing this 1esult. shi%l subsidy is Hanna's hobby; rivers and harbors are Burton's. Bach has his heart set upon securirg the enact- ment of the legislation he desires. As a consequence of Burton’s opposition to the subsidies, Hanna may stand in the way of river and harbor legislation. e i Secret Political Society. HONOLULU, Nov. 10.—A new political society, somewhat - secret, has been formed by Hawailans in Hilo district, on the island of Hawail. It has for its ob- ject the supplanting of the old Home ule organization by a more Republican party, but one devoted nevertheless, first of :{i to the policy of maintain na- tives' influence in the political a of the islands. 3 MISS JEWETT APPOINTS COMMITTEES TO ARRANGE FOR CLOSING EVENTS Annual Social Gathering of the University of California Senior Class Will Take Place at Hearst Hall Wednesday Evening and Is to Partake of the Nature of a Promenade Concert - CO-EDS WHO ARE ASSISTING IN THE PREPARTIONS FOR THE SENIOR SOCIAL AT BERKELEY. Although the annual gathering is termed “senior social,” it will be more in the na- ture of a'promenade concert this time, forming an innovation in the customary event. An orchestra will furnish music for the promenade in the main hall up- stairs. In the lower hall small tables will be placed in obscure corners, where the promenaders may rest in quiet and be served refreshments. Both halls will be carefully decorated to insure pleasing backgrounds for the animated groups of classmen and women. All the commit- tees are working to make the “social” an event to be remembered long after col- lege years are over.

Plcked up on the street as a pauper, wandering about in rags and homdless, aged Peter Flynn astounded the police to- day when a $10,000 balance to his credit in a bankbook was found on his person at the City Prison. The bare fact that he is Peter Flynn, about 65 years of age, is all that the po- lice have been able to glean from their strange lodger. He will be detained at the prison until something more is learned of his antecedents. The old man refuses to disclose a single bit of information about himself or his hoard of wealth represent- ed by the bankbook entries. Externally there was nothing about his appearance to suggest that Flynn was other than a decrepit and poverty-stricken old man who would end his days as a public charge. He had only 30 cents in coin in his pos- session when the police took him in charge. The records of his bank account show that it has not been touched for several years. ‘“We have tried our best to get some line on‘the old man's connectlons,” said Jaller Swain to-night, “but so far we have been unsuccessful. Flynn seems to be suf- fering from some sort of brain trouble. He acts as if he were dazed. He certainly is a mystery to us.” The old man has been a familiar char- acter on the streets for some time. At in- tervals he would disappear from view, but after a short absence would reappear and resume his aimless wanderings about the city. Unless some relatives appear an ef- fort will be made by the authorities to have a legal guardian nflpolnted for their mysterious ward, that he may be given proper attention and care. Thrown From Her Vehicle. BAKERSFIELD, Nov. 16—Mrs. J. W. Bruner,: a lady well known throughout this county, sustained a fracture of three rits on the right side within two inches of the spinal column, last evening in Jew- ett’'s Lane, while driving to the Kern River oll fields. She was thrown violently to the ground in a collision with a double team, which was being driven rapidly in the direction of this city. Mrs. Bruner was rendered unconscious by the fall, She was brought into this city for medical treatment :{ the men who were driving the team. ith which she collided, but their names have not been ascertained. ¥ SHYS SIGNATURE [TRIES TO BUAN 15 A FORGERY| TWO DWELLINGS Court Holds Mrs. Lottie Logan Did Not Sign Release. “Difference in Writing So Glaring a Blind Man Could See It.” —_— Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Nov. 16. To the satisfaction of Judge Hall it was demonstrated that the signature of Mrs. Lottie Logan that appears appended to a release of a mortgage Is a forgery. Carl Eisenschmel, the expert penman, informed the court that the name was a rank imi- tation, and pointed out the discrepancies that existed between the forged hand- Iv‘vg!st;zxx‘x and the genuine signature of Mrs. In rendering his decision setting aside the alleged release Judge Hall said that it hardly required an expert to see the differences between the two exhibits, as they are so bald that a blind man could distinguish them. He took occasion to ut- ter criticisms against J. A. Parker, a real estate broker, and J. Robinson} witnesses for the defendant, saying that he thought that either one of them knew more than they had told about the spurious signa- ture. When he testified Robinson said that he had taken the release to Mrs. Logan In San Francisco, where she signed it. Mrs. Logan's physician testified that she was too ill at the time Robinson said he called to have seen any one. The forgery Is the outgrowth of a suit by G. U. Ochs against William Clark to foreclose on a loan of $600 on an assigned note from Mrs. Logan. The security for the note was some Placer County land and an indorsement by Mrs. V. R. Par- ker for two lots in Berkeley. Clark de- faulted in his payments and when the foreclosure proceedings were brought against him the release of mortgage from Mrs. Logan suddenly made its appear- arce.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Nov. 16 Two cottages at West and Twenty-sec- ond streets, owned by Mrs. Isabella J. Martin of Martin will contest fame, were the objects of an incenuiary’s flagrant at- tempt at destruction this morning. The evidence of arson was so palpable that after Fire Chief Ball had extinguished the flames, which got good headway in one of the houses, ha could only express his surprise at the open character of the crime. Both of the small dwellings were unoc- cupied, the owner resiling in a flat a few doors from them. When neighbors, aroused by the fire at §:30 o'clock, sent in an alarm Mrs. Martin appeared for a moment and then retired, announcing that she was very fll The fire broke out at the house 1534 West street. The department subdued the flames after $300 damage had been done, and then started to learn what had caused the outbreak. It was easy to dis- cover. The floors, walls and standing fix- tures in the dwelling had been saturated with coal oil. In one room a shirt and bundles of old papers wet with gasoline and kerosene were uncovered. The firemen went further and found that the next door cottage, at 1530 West street, had been as carefully prepared for the flames by the unknown incendiary. Here the rear door was wide open. A train of excelsior and waste scaked with coal oll was lald_from the dcor into several rooms. Under the kitchen sink two fruit jar: lled with gasoline were brought to lig] In several rooms kerosene had been liberally spilled upon the floors. Several windows ané the back door were wide open. Th.s cottage was only scorched. It is supposed the arsonist pro- posed to set that dw:lling on fire as its neighbor was also fired, but was fright- ened away aftsr completing preparations. During his investigation Fire Chief Ball learned that each dwelling was in: for $1500. Mrs. Martin declared that she was at a loss to explain the fires. The waste and excelsior in the dweling was accounted for by the statement chat she was shortly snnfx{g‘on a ltak?g journcv and had used the stuff for packing purposes.
