Perform Important Cerefnony Attendant Upon the Erection of Their New, Building, Blare of Brass and Blaze of Rockets Adding to * AXLAND, Oct. 4—Amid a blaring of brass instruments, a discharge of rockets, a burning of red fire and a shouting of hallelujahs by hundfeds of red-bloused, poke- bonneted soldiers, Colonel George French, commander of the Salvation Army, laid the corner-stone of the new Salvation Army Temple on Ninth street, near ‘Washington, this evening. Adjutant E. L. Hawkes, commanding the local corps, to whose efforts the build- {ing is mainly due, acted as master of ceremonies. When at § o’clock he mo- tioned for quiet a whole army of Salva- tionists had possession of the half-built structure and hundreds of interested lay- men looked on. The ceremony began with a stirring campaign air from the headquarters’ band from San Francisco. This and a song by the congregation were followed by an offering of prayer from Major John W. Cousins. Staff Captain Finn hen sang an’army sorg to the tune of ‘Good-by, Dollie, I must leave you,” and the chorus joined in in the good, old- fashioned way. Among the invited guests were the Rev. Charles R. Brown of the First Congrega- tional Church and the Rev. H. J. Vos- burgh of the First Baptist Church, each of whom, upon being called upon to speak, declared his cenfidence in the future of the Salvation Army and referred to the great werk it had accemplished in the past. The remarks of the master of cere- monies were frequently punctuatéd with airs from the band and songs from the chorus. A vocal solo with guitar acgom- paniment was contributed by Lieutenant Miss Rogers. At last the moment for lay- ing the stone arrived and Colonel French prefaced his part of the formality by say- ing: “I feel it is a great hcnor for my Oak- land comrades to confer this duty upon me. 1am glad for more than one reason, however," to stand as the army's repre- sentative. One is that this building marks a great step in the progress of the Sal- vation Army. We have had another building here, but none so pretentious as this. Another is that this is the day that General Booth sets his foot in America, to be here six months, perhaps for the last time. Again I am glad because this marks the anniversary of the death of Mrs. Booth, that sainted warrior who ac- complished so much for the cause of the world's unfortunates.” Colonel French announced that the re- ceptacle that was to be plaeed in the stone contained a Bible, a War Cry, General Spirit of - Rejoici ng WO PLTLT TS Pl *diin names of the officers and the corpsy con- tributors to the fund and several other papers. While the stone was being put in vlace the band played another lively air, the red light glowed and rockets shot into the sky. At the conclusion of the ceremony Colonel French offered a prayer. The new temple is to cost about $10,000, $3000 of which has been subscribed, Mrs. Phoebe Hearst and Senator George C. Perkins being among the contributors. It : will be two stories and contain an audi- | torfum and officers’ quarters. L o o a2 2 e 2 2 2 o ) HEAVY TRAFFIC AT THE YARDS Congestion of Freight Threatens Railroad Company. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Oct. 4. The traffic at the West Oakland yards has reached the limit. Without additioral rolling stock and motive power the com- rany cannot handle a larger yolume of business. Every expedient is now being resorted to in order to prevent a conges- ticn of freight. The freight ferry steam- ers are not capable of acommodating the trade between Oakland and San Fran- cigco, 1f it were not for the ‘‘wishbone’” route by way of San Jose it would be impossi- ble to handle the number of cars now be- ing handled. Dalily extra trains are be- ing sent from Oakland by the way of San Jose to San Francisco. As it is there is a light congestion in the yards, entailing a double amount of work upon the men. By next year the lack of rolling stock, motive power and the lack of yard room will have been obviated. The construc- tion. of the new yards west of the ma- chine shops is being pushed. Already there are seven or eight miles of new track laid, but the additional room is of little value in holding freight as the new* yards are rendered hard of access, owing to the machine shops being in the way. The machine shops will be removed to another portion of the yards to permit joining the old @nd the new yards by di- rect tracks. Another important change in the ar- rangement of the West Oakland yards, now under contemplation by the Southern Pacific officials, is the removal of the roundhouse at the same time the machine shops are removed. The reason for the change is the same in both cases. The machine shops are directly in line be- tween the old and new switch yards and the roundhouse is nearly so. To put a beavy train on the new switch tracks consumes nearly half an hour, as the yards are now arranged. By the removal of the roundhouse and the machine shops 7 the result can be obtalned with five min- utes’ work. The probable location of the new round- house is near the foot of Peralta street. It may, however, be located on tide land south of its present location, which has rot yet been reclaimed. Foreman F. V. Carman of the mills has received orders for the constryction of twelve pontoons for the Ogden cutoff. These pontoons will be used for laying the foundations for the fifteen-mile tres- tle, which is in the process of construc- tion across Salt Lake. Several million feet of lumber is already. on the ground. The recently constructed steamer Promontory is finished and ready for service. ¢ Garbage Case Is Dismissed. OAKLAND, Oct. 4—Because of a tech- nical omission in the complaint, the case of Joseph Folcia, arrested at the instance of John P. Irish for allowing scavengers to deposit garbage on his property, was @dismissed to-day by Acting Police Judge John W. Stetson. To secure a retrial of the case Colonel Irish must swear to a new complaint. Gt 5 A T Alameda’s Tax Rate Fixed.

Things have changed since ‘“La Terre” was written, PASHINER MOUR AT BiR Great Assemblage At Funeral of the Late Rev. W. L Kip. The “funeral of the late Rev. Will- iam Ingraham Kip Jr. took place yesterday, the services being held both at the Cathedral Mission, Sec- ond street, and at Cypress Lawn Cemetery. At the Cathedral Mis- sion the remains rested since Thursiay before the altar at which the departed clergyman, even when in delicate health, remained at his ministerial duties. The funeral offices commencéed at 10 o'clock, when the vested choir, followed by the visiting clergymen, the official clergy and the Right Rev. Bishop William Ford Nichols and the honorary pallbear- ers, marched up the aisle to the strains of a heautiful hymn. The pallbearers and the remains and mourners came next. At the altar the opening sentences of the burial service of the Episcopal church were read by the Bishop. Two psalms were then chanted by the choir under the direction of Miss Brown, the organist. After the chanting of the psalms the lesson was read by the Very Rev. Ed- gar J. Lyon and the hymn, “Son of My Soul,” was sung by the choir. The Rev. J. O. Lincoln and the Rev. J. P. Tarner, pastor of the Cathedral Mission, took part in the service that followed and the hymn “Lead, Kindly Light,” having been sung, Bishop Nichols delivered the pray- ers and benediction. The recessional was “Oh, Paradise,” which the choir sang while the remair# were being vplaced in the hearse. The remains were then escorted -to Ione Church Yard, Cypress Lawn, where the choir of boys sang two hymns and Bishop Nichols read the committal, assisted by the Rev. D. O. Kelly, and after the inter- ment the choir marched back to the rail- way cars, singing softly on the way along the path the two hymns, *“Nearer, My God, to Thee” and “For All Thy Saints ‘Who From Their Labors Rest.” Mr. and Mrs. W. I. Kip, the parents of the departed clergyman, Miss M. Kip and Mrs, Lawrence Kip mourned at the grave. Lawrence Kip is in Honolulu and is not yet aware of his brother’s death. There was an abundance of flowers from the parishioners and personal friends of the late Mr. Kip, and a large number of those with whom he had been asso- clated entered the church while those who could not gain admittance waited to witness the departure of the cortege. ‘Wanders Away From Home. The police were notified early’yesterday morning that Mrs. Pauline Girard, 70 years of age, had applicd at the residence of Mrs. R. Sprague, 2350 Broadway, for shelter. Policeman James J.

As she was in a very feeble condition the superintend- ent detained her till her friends could be that she had strayed from the Alameda County Almshouse. Late Shipping Intelligence.

CHINESE WD PREFERS. HOME Judge Murasky R:iuses to Take Her From Miss Lake’'s Care. —% Chai Ha Wu, a bright little Chinese girl, though but 10 years of age, is, in the opin- fon of Judge Murasky, a very truthful lit- tle Celestial, whose word can safely be taken in. preference to that of numerous witnesses who testified as to the child’'s paternity in Department Two of the Su- perior Court yesterday. In accordance with this opinion Judge Murasky refused to give the little one into the keeping of Fong Quong, a Chinese merchant, who tried ‘to secure the custody of the child on i writ of habeas corpus. Chai is an ! inmate of the Methodist Home, conducted by Miss C. W. Lake. Quong claimed the child on the ground that she was his daughter, but failed to establish proof of his paternity. The tes- timony of the little girl refuted every statement he made and when Miss Lake told how she, with the aid of a polieeman, took the little one from a hovel in China- town, the court promptly refused the writ. Chai Ha Wu's tale, told through an in- terpreter, is a strange one. She said she remembered leaving her mother in China and coming to this country with a Chi- nese woman, who, during the entire voy- age, instructed her how to answer the questions of the customs officials. She said she was told to say that she was the gaughter of Fong Quong, so that she could get ashore. Miss Lake testified that she saw the lit- tle girl at work in her putative father's factory. She said Chai was sewing but- tons on wearing apparel, while strapped to her back was the infant son of the man | who claims to be her father. Miss Lake said also that the son of Quong was fret- ful and that to Keep it quiet the little girl had to keep moving from one foot to the other. ‘When asked by Judge Murasky if she ‘wished to remain at the home, the little one said ‘‘yes,” volunteering the informa- tion that she wanted to go to school. ! | Mother Weeps Over Wayward Son.

The first floor of the bulilding was converted into a dining-room and at 12 o'clock nearly 100 guests sat down to a | supmtuous feast. Both dining and recep- tion rooms bore a gala appearance, vines | and flowers being arranged with pleasing effect. In the arched doorway were the | dates, 1877-1902, worked in blossoms. The president, Mrs. J. P. Ames, presided at the table, at which were seated the guests of honor, Mrs. Lydia Sadler, Mrs. W. H. H. Hamilton, Mrs. H. Garthwaite, | Mrs. Anson Barstow, Mrs. C. W. Kellogsg | and Mrs. D. W. C. Gaskill. At the con- | clusion of the breakfast short speeches were made by several of the charter mem- | bers and the clergymen who were present. Mrs. Sadler was the first-called upon for a speech. She was the first president elected after the organization of the Young Women's Christian Association. Mrs. Sadler spoke enthustastically of the | stupendous work accomplished since she | presided over the little band of earnest women, who organized in the old Congre- gational Church for the betterment of the condition of the working girl. Mrs. { Hamilton, Mrs. Gathwaite and Mrs. Wil- liam Kirk also made addresses and con- gratulatory remarks were delivered by the Rev. E. E. Baker, the Rev. H. J. Vosburgh, the Rev. Dr. Stone and the | Rev. J. K. McLean. Mrs Eliza Wolfen- | den read a letter from Mrs P. D. Browne, honorary president of the Young Women’s Christian Association, whose absence was unavoidable. Mrs. Browne was the active president for twenty years and was large- ly instrumental in bringing about the present prosperous condition of the or- ganization. MUSICAL PROGRAMME. During the reception a musical pro- gramme was enjoyed. Two barytone solos were rendered by F. H. Dillingham, “The Mighty Deep” (Jude) and “Roll on, Deep Ocean” (Geary).

Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1113 Broadway, Oct. 4 Grief over the death of her husband, W. 1. Kramer, who dropped dead in the Alameda City Market on Saturday last, is the cause of Mrs. Mary Kramer being de- tained at the Receiving Hospital pending an examination as to her sauity. She was taken to the hospital this morning by her daughter, Mrs. S. J. Wilson. The unfortunate woman became so vio- lent last night at her home, 2136 San An- tonio avenue, Alameda, that she attempt- ed bodily harm on her sons and daugh- ters and then tried to do away with her- self. The grief-stricken woman had been married more than thirty years, and the enforced separation from her life's part- ner cast a deep shadow over her mind, which the physicians fear will never be removed. The daughter has made ar- rangements to have her mother cared for in a private sanitarium, MANGLED BODY FOUND ON RAILROAD TRACKS Man’s Remains Are Discovered at the Oakland Approach to Harrison- Street Drawbridge. OAKLAND, Oct. +—The body of a man crushed by a train was found this morn- ing on the Southern Pacific tracks at the approach to the Harrison-street bridge on the Oakland side of the estuary. The head was badly crushed. The remains were apparently those of a laboring man, the clothing being coarse and the hands were hard from labor. In the pockets were a brass watch chain and compass charm, the watch missing, a Chinese lot~ tery ticket, knife and a fountain pen. Because the chain was minus a watch the theory of murder was advanced by some of the visitors at the Morgue, but there was nothing else upon which to base the idea. The dead man was about 25 years of age. The remalns await iden- tification at the Morgue. It is supposed the man was struck by a passing train late last night. No report of an accident had been made at railroad headquarters to-day, therefore the time the fatality occurred could not be deter- mined. A S5, R £ .
