The citizens interested in the case have taken the first step by appealing to the District Lyman J. Allen, president of the Berke- ley Board of Trade, who is one of those | engaged in the investigation, said: WILL SOLVE MYSTERY. 1 am not at a loss to understand why Landregan objects to a police investigation of this incendiarism. He is now before the courts under copviction of runping an unlawful place and the less notoriety he gets, the better for him. We—I n the citizens of Berkeley who are interested in preserving the peace and upholding the law—have taken prompt meas- ures to get at the bottom of this mystery. One of ovr number has been in consultation with the District Attorney. There s a move- ment rapidly vhaping itself to bring this mat- ter to an issue. H. A. Johnson, a prominent Berkeley business man, said: “I trust that this affair will be probed to the bottom. It is very strange that we cannot know what is _going on at Landregan's place.” Town Marshal Kerns is authority for the statement that Landregan knows who set fire to the hotel. “Of course Landre- gan knows who did it,” sald Kerns, “but he has reasons of his own for not dis- closing the man’s identity. Unless he acts wg are powerless.” ndregan says: and I will not place any one's shoulders.” “I suspect nobody, ‘the responsibility on B S e R e DUTLINES BUSY COLLEGE WEE Official Programme Is Replete With Inter- esting BEvents.

Gy FIGHT FOR LIFE 4 4 WHIRLPOOL Three Alamedans Are Nearly Drowned in Tidal Canal, Boat Is Capsized Near the Pier of the Park Street Drawbridge. AWAMEDA, Aug. 31.—Frederick 8. Cone, William B. Hichman and A. G. Bell, vice president, secretary and treasurer, respec- tively, of the Alameda Boating Ciub, were nearty drowned this afternoon in the swift eddy that surges around the big central pier of the drawbridge across the Udal cana! at Park street. Cone's pres- ence of mind alone saved Bell from death, after the latter had sunk twice and was gomg aown ior the third and iast time. When assistance from snore reached the trio Cone ana HincAmAan were weak from their struggles in the whiripool and were cunging w tneir overturned boat. Bell, Iimp and unconscious, was being held on the surtace by Cone, wno haa clutched the arowning man's clothing as the wairi- ing current brought his body within reach. BELL FALLS ONTO BOAT. Cone, Hinchman and Bell are members of the Aquatic Carnival Commitiee, rep- resenting the Alameda Boating Ciub. Mor the purpose of ascerizining whether the turming machinery of the Fark-street bridge was in worsing order so that tne span could be openea and closed during tne coming water fete, the three commit- teemen obtained a yawl at the Chestnut- street boathouse, rowed up the cnanner and .stopped beneath the bridge. Bel, who welghs 240 pounds, climbed from thé boat to the top of the cement pier on which . the turning gear is stationed. After inspecting the - machinery he at- tempted to lower himself into the yaw( that Cone and linchman were trying to hold steady in the rapid current. Bells grip gave way and he rell ten feet, strik- ing on the bow of theé boat with a crasn, wrenching his back and capsizing the yawl. The injury to his spine prevented Bell from swimming and ne sank twice in rapid succession. Cone and Hinchman had caught hold of the overturned crafc and were spun around the slippery pler at a dizzy pace. Cone managed to grasp Bell's suspenders and save him. ey could not sécure a hold on the pler and were at the mescy of the whirlpool when beats from the shore rescued them. GETS GRIP ON SUSPENDERS. It required some effort to restore Bell. He was rolled on a pontoon and put through other vigorous treatment. Cone and Hinchman scon recovered {rom tae effects of their battle. “We would have got away from the pier all right,” said Conme, “if Bell had not tunibled, hurt himself and capsized our boat. I belleve that I could have got out of the eddy by swimming, but I feared for Bell, who cannot swim. I hung on to the yawl until he was carried near me and ‘then 1 grabbed his suspenders anda puiled his head above the water. Hinch- man was weighted down with a heavy suit of street clothes and shoes and was un- able to render any aid to Bell.” “I rulned a $90 suit,” said Hinchman, “but 1 still have my life and am satis- fied. When I saw Cone being knocked | about the cement pier by the current I thought there would be one candidate Jess for Justice of the Peace. Bell was handicagped by not knowing how co swim Since the canal was cut through to San Leandro Bay the current runs through with the velocity of @millrace.” BURGLAR LOOTS HOMES OF CHURCH MEMBERS Enters Residences During Absence of Families at Worship and Makes a Haul. OAKLAND, Aug. 3L.—A burglar entered the residences of three families of church- goers to-night during their absence at evening worship and gathered an assorte ment of jewelry and coin. That he was not captured at the residence of R. M. Briare, 610 Fourtcenth street, was merest 800G luck on the burglar's part. Mr. Briare is proprietor of the Hotel Metropole. Members of his family were at church and returned about 9:30 o’clock. They found the gas lighted through the house. Mrs, Briare rushed incw the front hall excitedly and_almost fell into the burglar'’s arms. She screamed and he fled by way of a back window, through which he had entered. Along with him went 340 in coin he had picked up during his search of the house. The police were called and arrived only a couple of min- utes after the thief disappeared. The same burglar, the detectives pe- lieve, ransacked I. Jackson's home, 1518 Tenth street, while the folks were at ser- Vvices. He took three watches, a ring and tvg) plsht‘ols. ut his final effort was - ahgarh{d boxes from the resltgggct:hgs"!l’?g v. M. H.

The clergym: returned from church to find th;sr{ou:g ransacked, but only a few dollars in the Poor boxes were gone. The discriminat- ng thief left a lot of copper cents behind. ———— SABBATE WORSHIP IN CHURCHES OF OAKLAND Several Pestors Exchange Pulpits and Preach to Congregations Other Than Their Own.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Aug. 8L The refisal of the scavengers to carry the city’s refuse to the new dumping ground on Bay Farm Island, Alameda, has rendered the Board of Health power- less to relieve the city from a situation that has already grown dangerous. Waste matter is piling up in backyards. Secre- .tary Doody of the Health Board admits that the body he represents will be un- able to act until the ordinance regulating the disposition of garbage is amended so that the refuse can be emptied within the city limits, a formality that will not be complete until September 10. In the mean- time refuse for thirteen days will have been piled up. After the failure of the attempt to carry away the sarbage by means of barges the Health Board selected a place on Bay arm Island to discharge it, but the scavengers flatly refused to take it there, declaring the haul to be top long; so now there is no place to dump except within the city limits. ““The scavengers are willing to do any- thing that is reasonable,” sald Clinton G. Dodge, attorney for the garbage men, to- day, “but to carry the refuse ten miles to Bay Farm Island is too much. The horses could not stand it and it would not pay the men. They run around town half a day gathering garbage, and if they had to then go ten miles to the dumps, there would be nothing left of their earnings or horses.” Secretary Doody of the Health Board says there is nothing for the board to do but wait. Every attempt to relieve the situation, he says, has met with failure. ““fhe amendment of the garbage ordi- nance will xive the Health Board power to direct the dumping of garbage within the city limits,” he said. “But I am not sure that the pro{w;ed dumping wtnthln the eity limits will be a success. we direct the scavengers to West Oakland, there will be a protest from the residents, who have objected in the past. It seems to me that a crematory is the only way out of the difficulty.” a3 ‘i—‘leauh Officer von Adelung sald: “Some- thing must be done, and we will probably find & way to dispose of the garbage at our next meeting, but I don’t know just now how a way will be found. All this trouble would be avoided if the city would provide a garbage plant or permit one to be built, such as is proposed in an application recently filed before the City ouncil. A crematory would solve the difficulty right away.” The Rev. William Nat Friend Re- fuses to Accept a Very Flatter- ing Offer. KLAND, Aug. 31.—The Rev. Wil- Iw?r: lNll Friend, the former politician, collegian and newspaper man of Oakland, now pastor of the Presbyterian church at Golden, Colo., has declined a call to one of the largest churches at Lincoln, Nebraska, with a salary of $2500 or moé . ' The young clergyman has to remain with his charge in Colorado despite the flattering offer from the Nebraska congregation. He/ has put his declination on the ground’ that he owes his duty to the little flock at Golden, which has loyally supported him in ?:ll initiation into the pulpit. Mr. Friend has made rapid sirides in his chosen field, and has alrcady attained much more than local repute as a strong and effective preacher of the gospel. pobbih.abnetivaotisim WANT COMMENCEMENT DAY EXERCISES REVISED ALAMEDA, Aug. 3L.—Members of the class of December, 03, of the High School are circulating a petition that will be submitted to the Board or Education ask- ing that the old practice of holding com- mencement day exercises be re-estab- lished.

They Take Watch and Coin Although Pedestrians Are Near By. BERKELEY, Aug. 3L—Two daring footpads held up Ralph Plerce, a univer- sity student, on the corner of Fulton street and Dwight way last night. The robbery took piace under the glare of an electric light and at a corner cro with passengers from the 10 o'clock than. Before the startled student could compre- hend what was being done to him, the two robbers had relieved him of his gold watch and $150 in change and had dis- appeared down Fulton street. “I was walking hurriedly up Dwight way after having got off the local,” said Pierce to-day, “and was about 200 yards abead of the rest of the people who had left_the train at the same station. Just as I was passing under the light on the corner of Fulton street, two men stepped out from the shadow of a hedge and, peinting a pistol at me, ordered me to throw up my hands. “f did so without hesitation and while one man covered me the other went through my pockets, taking my watch and what change 1 had. Hardly a min- ute elapsed before they had robbed me and were off down the side street.” Plerce described his assailants as a tall and a short man, both rather well dress- ed. His description tallies with that giv- en by Joseph Kelley of the two men who robbed him in his hotel on Third and Gilman streets at 1 o’clock Friday meorn- ing and the police think they were the same individuals.
