DORNIN REFUSES BLACE ON LIST Councilman Declines to Serve on the Water Committee, Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, April 15. Councilman George W. Dornin declines to serve on the committee of seven whick was selected by Mayor Anson Barstow to investigate the matter of municipal own- ership of a water supply for Oakland. In withdrawing his name Counciiman Dornin has written a formal letter to the Mayor, which reads as follows: The Honorable the Mayor of the City of Oakland, Anson Barstow, Esq.—Dear Sir: Some days ago I recelved your valued favor of the 10th inst., requesting me to serve with others on a committee to investigate ways and means and report on-the best available water supply for our city. Realizing, as 1 do, the importance of my decision at this time to myself and to the peo- ple’s interests, 1 have purposely delayed my reply in order that I might fairly digest the matter and act intelligently. While I appreciate the honor done me in selecting me as one to serve upon that impor- ing assoclated with the representative men | named by you to act as my colleagues In a matter so vital to Oakland's Interests this time, yet I am thoroughly convinced in my own mind that I can do better work for the people if left.in position to act independently of committee entanglements, when called u; in my official capacity as Councllman to legis late upon the committee’s recommendations, When the matter was first broached I feit that possibly my duty lay in accepting the ap- pointment, but more mature thought has con- vinced me that 1 cannot, in justice to myseit, assume the extra burden. Yours very truly, GEO. W. DORNIN. i —————— 7 Bricklayers Get Higher Wages. NEW YORK, April 15.—An agreement affecting 1500 bricklayers in seventeen unions in this city, by which the wages are advanced 4 cents an hour, has been | entered into by the Master Builders’ As- | sociation and the local union. The agree- | ment will go _into effect July 1, and last for a year. The programme of the plas- terers” laborers not to resume work on contracts where thelr demand for $3 50 a day was not granted was generally fol- lowed throughout the borough of Man- Lattan to-day. As a result it was esti- mated that about 3500 plasterers’ laborers went on strike, and about 2500 union plas- terers’ who would not work with non- union laborers became idle. In some cases where there was a rigld time-limit | on the contracts the demands of the plas- | terers’ laborers were granted. Cenclave of the Texas Knights.

Jensen Visits Wrath Upon His Son. Declares Perjured Testimony Put Him Behind Bars of Prison. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, April 15. “You are the biggest monster on earth. You would g0 against your old father. You are a worse ingrate than Agrippa. You perjured yourself to send your father to San Quentin.” These bitter words came from the lips of Charles T. Jensen to-day in Judge Elis- worth’s court, where the old man was being examined on a charge of insanity preferred by his son, Major Charles Jen- sent of Lorin, formerly in command of a balt:\uon in the First California Regi- ment. The examination was begun yesterday, when the father said his son was trying to get rid of him by raliroading him to an asylum. He was allowed to have wit- nesses to-day in his behalf. But these witnesses did not do the old man much good. One of them told how he had been sent to San Quentin for two years for forgery committed in San Fran- cisco. The son corroborated this story and that brought vituperation down on his head. * Another thing that disclosed the old man’s cupidity was his connection with a subscription for funds with which to_tight for the release of his friend, Adam Smeg- ner, from San Quentin. Witnesses told how he gathered money from sympathetic people and then forgot to apply it for the purpcse intended. He denied the charge, however, that he had kept the money for himslf. “This man may not be insane,” sald Judge Ellsworth at the conclusion of the testimony, “‘but he is a rogue. His deal- ings with men show him to be dishonest. The commission decides that he should be released.” As father and son and their following filed out of the courtroom they kept up a continual wrangling. The son tried to reason wtih his father, but the parent would have none of it. REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS. TUESDAY, APRIL 15.

Heretofore _tne class-day play has represented something in the nature of a demon dragom, ‘“Fac- ulty,’ holding captive the fair creature. “Diploma,” who is rescued by the valiant classmen, or an Aztec or Chinese cere- mony, in which the ancient priests burn incense in order that the wrath of the gods may be alleviated, or_ the _fourth irthday of the child, “Ki Yippi Ki Y1,” is celebrated. Usually these plays have been written by masculine students, with the burlesque and humor which comes from the masculine sense. Miss McKinne is one of the few women students to claim authorship of a class. day play. a hegh tone of refinement seldom reached by extravaganias, and at the same time to contain all the elements of wit, humor and the ridiculous which go to make them a success. Class day this year will fall on May 10. The extravaganza will be given in Ben ‘Weed's amphitheater, back of the chem- istry building, at 2 p. m. All of the grad- uates will take part.
