BURGLARG MAKE A DARING AAID Home of John Bergez on Clay Street Is Thor- oughly Looted. Valuable Plunder Is Secured and Damage Done to Furnishings. While John Bergez, the proprietor of the Bergez restaurant on Pine street, and his family were absent for a short time last night from their residence at 1428 Clay street, burglars entered the house and ransacked three of the rooms. They secured a magnificent sealskin cape, | valued at , belonging to Mrs, Bergez They were frightened away by the unex- pected return of Mrs. Bergez or their plunder would have been still richer. They had not yet located the family jewels or sllverware, but they were making a very thorough search The burglars carried on thelr work bold- such an alr of security as to » doubt that they are experi- ds at pillaging hou They | il every member of the family | » he house and then e ed, it is | supposed, through the front door.

This theory substantiates the be- | jief that is entertained by the police that the burglars are the same who have com- mitted various other robberies in the vi- cinity of the Bergez residence.

Ryer pah P FTER five hours of stormy dis- cussion the Machinists’ Union of San Francisco last night post- poned action on the proposal of the National Board of Arbitra- tion for a scttlement of the strike that has been in progress now for months. If the temper of the delegates does not change before to-night, when the final vote will be taken, there is no chance for a settlement of the trouble upon the terms proposed by the National Board of Arbitration. The meeting was called for the purpose of hearing the report of Walter Mac- arthur, editor of the Coast Seamen's Journal, who had been appointed by the National Board of Arbitration as its rep- resentative on the Pacific Coast. He has just returned from the East, where he deliberated with the arbitrators and was empowered to make a proposition on the part of the national board to the striking | machinists of this city. Word was re- éeived from him by telegraph about a week ago which raised the hopes of the anachinists to a high pitch and they were d to belleve that the trouble could be ettled upon a basis that would be a prac- tical victory for them To their intense surprise tne proposition submitted by Macarthur was a virtual surrender of all the main points of con- tention and every speaker following him denounced it in unmeasured terms. Terms Are Not Satisfactory. Macarthur spoke nearly three hours, ] and his address was listened to in siience. Many of the members withdrew when its purport became disclosed, and it was the universal sentiment of these that the terms should not be accepted. His propo- sition, briefly put, was that the striking machinists return to work on the ten- hour basis, and leave the settlement en- tirely in the hands of National Board of Arbitration. If this body shall decide | in its report to be issued next June, that the machinists are entitled to work only nine hours a day, then the union shall again call out its men from such estab- lishments as refuse to abide by this de- cision. If, on the other hand the National Board shall determine that ten hours’ work a day is reasonable the unions are to abide by the result. In either case the employers shall not be compelled to discharge any non-union men they may have in their employ previous to the ac- ceptance of these terms by the strikers. No sooner had Macarthur finished than there were half a hundred men on their feet, protesting against the acceptance of any such terms. «rder was restored with ficulty, and a feeble attempt was made by the few present who favored a re- turn to work to bring the question to an immediate vote. This was voted down almost unanimously. Scathing Speeches Made. Then the terms came in for scathing review from half a dozen speakers. There were no personalities indulged In, but each speaker who declared against a sur- render of all that the union has advocated for so many long months was cheered to the echo. Finally a motion to postpone action until to-night was put and car- ried by acclamation. Previous to this one speaker bitterly denounced the proposal to railroad this measure through the meeting without giving the members time to refiect on and fully grasp its terms. Outside the hall after the meeting al- most every one of the 1500 machinists present had bitter remarks for the condi- tions submitted and the man bearing them, The usual charges of betrayal and treachery were made and the situation, as far as a settlement was concerned, did not seem nearly as hopeful as before the meeting was called. The greatest secrecy was maintained by the members and officers of the organiza- jon regarding the terms of settiement oposed and it was stated before the eting that nothing would be given out publication, even if a vote was reached, until the result had been in- dor the national headquarters at Ab: Washifgton. The Meeting was held In the San Fran- cisco Athletfe Club’'s rooms on Sixth for TERMS OF NATIONAL ARBITRATORS MEET NO FAVOR FROM MACHINISTS Stormy Meeting of Strikers, Where Proposition Is Denounced as a Surrender of All That the Men Have Been Fighting for, and Definite Action on It Is Postponed Until To-Night I 0T LABOR REPRESENTATIVE WHO URGES MACHINISTS TO RETURN TO WORK. < MORAN ASKS FOR A NEW TRIAL ON MURDER CHARGE Judge Lawlor Reserves His Decision in the Matter Until Next Friday. Arguments on the motion for a new trial in the case of Thomas Moran, convicted on a charge of murdering George W. Rice, a non-union machinist, at Twentieth and Howard streets, October 11, were heard yesterday by Judge Lawlor. Attorney George D. Collins, on behalf of the defendant, argued that a new trial should be granted on the grounds that the Judge erred in admitting evidence against the objections of the defendant; that the prosecution was gullty of mis- conduct in the addresses to the jury and that the court erred in not giving sixteen instructions to the jury asked for by the defendant. Attorney Peter F. Dunne replied for tha prosecution, arguing that the defendant had been granted a just and fair trial. Judge Lawlor took the matter under ad- visement till Friday morning. Argument on a motion for a new trial in the case of William Buckley, convicted of murder in the first degree, was con- tinued till Saturday. to A temporar terday afternoon by Judge Carroll Cook restraining C. ner and Hans Wolf from cutting the levee on the west side of Andros Island, an ex- tensive plece Sacramento River, which was pdrtly sub- merged by the recent freshet. The owners of the Island desired to cut the levee on the west waters, which had inundated the island at the breaking of the levee on the ast side, ow Mokelumne River. = 3 BORERRRRRRRRER BRI IIIRIOLRN | COORT PROTECTS loPARAGUS GROP Judge Cook Restrains Andros Islanders From Cutting Levee. injunction was issued yes- H.

The writ was made returnable on March 16 before Judge COOK. $ As soon as the injunction was securcd Attorney Countryman telephoned to the Sheriff of Sacramento County, requesting him to proceed at once to the levec. A number of men were sent to the islands last night from this city to reinforce the Sheriff. 4 The islands threatened With inundation are situated in the Sacramento River be- tween Antioch and Rio Vista. They have been reclaimed from the waters of the river by the construction of substantial | levees, many yards in thickness. The lands thus fortified against the water have proved exceedingly fertile and pro- duce asparagus that has become famous. Should the levee be cut and the islands be- come inundated more than $200,0.0 worth of property would be destroyed. On last Saturday Ryer Island was submerged and its entire crop of asparagus and #li the buildings and fixtures on the island com- pletely destroyed. Suspected Thieves Still in Custody. Oscar Murray, Percy Kiernan and Rob- ert. Vance, the young men arrested Mon- day night on suspicion of having stoten jewelry and money from a number of pri- vate hotels," have not yvet been charged. Chief Elton of Los Angeles, who is at- tending the convention of Chiefs of Police, had a look at the prisoners yesterday morning and at once recognized them as having been suspected of doing the same kind of work in his city. —_——— McLaughlin Is Not a Vagrant. Alfred McLaughlin, who was suspected by Policeman Sylvester of firing a shot at him through his bedroom window and who was arrested on a charge of vag- rancy, was tried before a jury in Judge Cabaniss’ court yesterday. After hearing the evidence the Judge instructed the jury to acquit. * FATHER OF MRS. MURRAY SUES FOR MAINTENANCE Former Husband of Late Mrs. Elvira Townsend Appeals to Court for Aid. Thomas G. Townsend, the divorced hus- band of the late Mrs. Elvira Townsend, vesterday filed suit in-the Superior Court to compel his daughter, Mrs. Ella Murray, to allow him the sum of $200 per month for maintenance and $00 to relleve his present necessities. In his complaint Townsend says that he is 70 years of age and unable to earn a living and that his daughter is possessed of ample wealth. The late Mrs. Elvira Townsend came prominently before the public during the | recent war. She was known as “the angel of the boys in blue’” and spent large sums of money to secure the comfort of the oldiers. When Mrs. Townsend died sud- denly it was learned that she was a di- vorced woman and that she had a daugh- ter with whom she was not friendly. The large estafe of Mrs. Townsend was awarded by the courts to her daughter, Mrs. Ella Murray, who was made defend- sn( in the maintenance suit filed yester- ay. 3 ———————— Made Goo-Goo Eyes at Him. Belle Naylor, a buxom colored woman who has been arrested frequently of late, appeared in Judge Conlan's court yester- "day on a charge of grand larceny. The complaining witness against her is Ma- thias Michel, a visitor from Portland. He sald he was walking along Market street Monday afternoon after drawing $100 from the bank, when he passed the woman, who made goo-goo eyes at him. He fol- lowed her along Kearny street till she en- tered a saloon and he went in after her. He talked with her while they were hav- ing a drink and a few minutes later dis- covered that the $100 had been stolen. —_————— George C. Perkins Club Meets. At the regular meeting of the George C.

He leaves his entire estate, which is estimated to be | worth less than $10,000, to his widow, and provides that in the event of her death it shall revert to his daughter, Jessie Fillmore. The will is holographic and was executed in January, 1891. The old-style ones are “way passe’”; but comfort- able, stylish ones built on new lines are always wanted. TUDEB. BROS. COMPANY Market and Tenth Strects., SANTA FE GETS INTD OAKLAND Arranges to Absorb the California and Ne- vada Road. New Corporation Is Organ- ized to Put the Deal Through. As predicted by The Call more than a year ago, the city of Oakland will soon become a terminus for another transcon- tinental railroad. A deal was made early this week whereby the Santa Fe road has practically secured the right of way into the very heart of Oakland. It only re- mains for the officials of the Santa Fe to secure a broad gauge franchise for the California and Nevada Raflroad, operat- ing between Emeryville and Bryant, Con- tra Costa County, and the Santa Fe will have quite as good, if not a better, ter- minus and ferry slip than the Southern Paclfic. The first step toward getting the Santa Fe into Oakland was taken yesterday, when the Oakland and East Side Railroad Company filed articles of incorporation with the County Clerk. The new com- pany has settiea the litigation which has harassed the California and Nevada Rail- road Company since the death of its founder, Captain Smith, some years ago. 1t has secured the ownership of the prop- erty and in turn has consummated a deal with the Santa e whereby the latter company will absorb the California and Nevada and the new Oakland and East Side Company. The only obstacle in the way of the new project is the securing of a broad gauge franchise, as the little road is a narrow gauge concern and can- not operate a broad gauge road. No Opposition to Franchise. It is understood that no opposition to the granting of the franchise tor a broand gauge road will be made by the people of Oakland, for the reason that the bulk of the citizens across the bay are highly in favor of making their town the ter- minus of the Santa Fe road. The articles of incorporation name M. J. Keller, F. C. Havens, M. A. de Laveaga, A. E. Bolton and G. E. Pratt as directors and each claims an owner- ship of $5000 worth of stock in the new company. The company’s capital stock is set at $1,000,000. Tne oid narrow gauge road will be supplanted by broad gauge tracks just as soon as the company is given a broad gauge franchise, This will probably be applied for immediately and no doubt will be granted. It is said that the various officials who have it in their power to grant the new company the franchise to operate a broad gauge road over its newly acquired property have already agreed to do so and operations will probably commence within the next few months. The first extension will be built to San Pablo to connect with the Santa Fe. Another track will be laid to ‘Walnut Creek and the road will be com- pleted to the terminus contemplated by Captain_Smith before his_death. The_ California and Nevada road is owned by the Realty Syndicate and the Grant Bros. of Oakland, and they are heavily interested in the new company. Entirely New Ferry System. The Santa Fe people have been trying to acquire the property for several years. There were many obstacles in the way. The affairs of the road were in a chaotic state. It was harassed by all sorts of litigation. ~ Contracts it had with land owners along its line for right of way had expired and in some cases the land own- ers were left unpaid, and before the new company could induce the Santa Fe to get behind the proposition new contracts for right of way had to be made and several old debts settled. It is the intention of those interested in the project to make many improvements in_the railroad service along its lines. While the most important proposition in connection with the new deal is that it gives the Santa Fe an advent into Oak- land, other plans will be put into effect which will give the neighboring towns a quick, efficient railroad and ferry system to San Francisco and Oakland. The Santa Fe Company has already ordered several large ferry-boats for the new service, which, it is. claimed, will prove faster and better equipped than the Southern Pacific boats. COLONEL J. B. FULLER . TO BE REAPPOINTED Pension Agent in This City Is In- dorsed by Senators Perkins and Bard. Colonel J. B.

SUARED HORSE GREATES HAVOC Kicks in a Plate Glass Window and Spills Melted Asphalt. A horse kicked up a series of monkey shines yesterday afternoon about 3 o’clock on the corner of Steiner and Eddy streets which made a hit with the small boys of | the neighborhood and incidentally with a Pglass window. It was a sort of one-ring | eircus, and the horse demonstrated how | much Gamage an equine, though blind | this one was, can do in a short time. ¥ broke the plate glass window of a dru | store, wallowed in the patent medicines, | upset the burning asphalt of the street | repairer and ended by lying down in it as if trying to make of itseif a burnt of- | fering for its sins. The horse belongs to G. Rossi, florist at 32715 Grant avenue. Mr. Rossi lives on | Steiner street, and while he went into his house for his coat he left the beast stand- ing. He declares that the horse has al- ways been well behaved and is surprised | at its giddy actions in its old age. He says that some one must have fright- | ened it. After shattering the window of Hen- { co pharmacy the horse for a mo- | ment seemed to come to its senses, but when the fumes of 200 bottles of some- body’s infallible tonic and sixty-five bot tles of some other body's hair invigor: tor, together with large quantities of e: | posea cod liver oil rose to its nostrils the quadruped snorted. Even a biind horse will turn. This one had been used to the perfume of flowers. It reared and tore round and round in a circle, catching up a wheelbarrow of burning asphalt in its | wake, which it finally spllied on the ground and lay down in. Officer Pincovic and the drug clerk came to the rescue, and the horse, bleed- ing and plastered with diluted pavement, penitently followed to the stable. A ycung lady happened into the store to telephone just before the trouble. The telephcone is situated right back of the pyramid of infallible tonic. She had just léft the phone and crossed the store to | ask the clerk something when the crash came and she escaped injury by a hair's breadth. RIGHT OF WAY SUIT DISMISSED IN COURT Alleged Violation of an Agreement to Construct a Railroad Causes Legal Controversy. The suit of W. C. Bruson vs. J. R. de la Mar was dismissed in the United States Circuit Court yesterday by consent. The suit had been transferred from the Supe- rior Court of Shasta County to the United | States Circuit Court. The plaintiff al- | leged that he was the owner of section | 8, Township 34 north, range 3 west, in Shasta County, and that on August 14, 1900, he signed an agreement giving De la Mar' a right of way and approaches to a railroad bridge across Pitt River on condition that De la Mar should immedi- ately construct and equip a railroad from Bella Vista to the Bully Hill mines. The complaint further alleged that De la Mar failed to carry out his part of the agree- ment, and that the document had been Garter, attorney for the defendant. High Chief Ra T Arrives.
