Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Aug. 14 ‘While seated on the side of his bed in his room at 530 Sixteenth street to-day, TRobert Kingshott placed a double-bar- reled shotgun against his temple, pulled the trigger and blew the top of his head off. Kingshott was a carpenter employed by Contractor Willlam McCarty. He was a widower and lived alone in the rear of a carpenter shop belonging to his em- ployer, who visited Kingshott's room this afternoon and came upon the dead body.

As a grievance the boys claim that the company has cut off the allowances they were receiving for delivering messages outside of a mile limit from the office. . The boys who quit work were paid $20 per month. If called upon to make a delivery outside of the established bounds they were allowed car fare and 10 or 15 cents extra. This system had been in vogue for some time and the messengers deemed it firmly established. Last night District Manager F. H. Lamb of the Western Union ordered Manager Edwin G. Folger of the Broadway office to discontinue allowing the regular paid boys any extra recompense for han r's outside messages. When Folger put the order into effect this afternoon the strike followed. DECLARES GARBAGE ORDINANCE VALID Judge Smith Refuses to Dismiss Scanvengers’ Cases, and Em- bargo Remains in Force. OAKLAND, Aug. 4—Police Judge Smith to-day held that the ordinance pro- hibiting the dumping of garbage within the city Mmits is valid on its face, and he refused on that ground to dismiss the cases of several scavengers who were re- cently arrested for depositing refuse on the West Oakland marsh. Attorney C. G. Dodge announced that he would ap- peal at once to the Superior Court, but meanwhile the scavengers, his clients, would continue to decline to haul gar- bage. The situation is becoming serfous be- cause of the accumulating piles of refuse and debris about hotels, restaurants, business-houses and residences. More than three hundred complaints on this score have been received at the Health Office. The embargo has been on since last day. —————— “DAMON AND PYTHIAS” SCORES BIG SUCCESS Forthcoming Productions at Dewey Include Melbourne MacDowell in Selected Repertoire.

Here the paraders ‘were assembled to | recelve the Mayor’'s welcome and to en- | joy the entertainment that had been pro- vided for the Inner man. On the grassy plats’ and under the spreading oaks of the park thousands of splint baskets, each one filled: with a sample luncheon of Alameda County fruits and_sandwiches, were arranged ready for distribution. Pretty maids and obliging matrons hovered by prepared to present every uniformed Knight with a California smile and substantials for the inner man, when once the companies were dismissed. Barrels of home brew lemonade were stationed in numerous parts of the square. Near each barrel was a table on which were hundreds of tin cups for the convenience of the thirsty. ‘When_the order to disband had been | given the open air feast began. | One member of the Forty-third 'Mis- | souri Company of the Uniform Rank was observed keeping a strict guard and both of his eyes on four baskets of lunch, which he captured when the serving la- dies were not looking. The Missouri Knight devoted his hands and appetite to gle fruit alone. After stowing away one course of peaches and pears he would let a reef out of his belt, draw in a pro- longed breath of invigorating Oakland at- mosphere and draw up another basket for the second course, which was the same as the first. He finished the meal in four courses. H ENJOYED THE FRUIT. “You might think I am doing two men's work eating this fine fruit,” said the hap- | v& Missourian to a crowd of small boys who were ranged around him, “and I think I am, too. We don’t get anything like this where I came from and I am not going to let the chance pass with- out making good. Sandwiches are com- mon in Missouri, but California has the fruit that sults me and everybody else. Oh, those juicy peaches! I could five on them and die a happy death.” ‘While the men of the Uniform Rank ladies a programme of addresses was be- ing delivered on a platform erected in the rear court of the High School building. | man Hall. | were receiving their luncheons from the | L.
