Who has ever heard of the people of such an intelligent: and moral city as Oakland conspiring together to carry out a.scheme for the aggrandizement of a corporation? Yet this paper has the gall to say to its subscribers in Oakland that prace tically all the well known, the respectable, the industrious, the tax-paying portion of the com- munity, has made a combination in the inter- ests of the Contra Costa Water Company fo elect a municipal government which will fasten the collar of that corporation still tighter around our necks. For my part, 1 don’t believe the men who compose the labor unions can be fooled by any such stuff.

The treatment of Varicocele has called forth the ingenuity of surgeons in many ways, and it must be confessed that any and all methods other than operations are absolutely worthless, painful, 1llogical and dangerous, nothwith- standing all statements o the confrary. Alu-h has been hoped for through electricity, injec- tions and ligatures, but we do not know of a single instance in which a cure has been ef- fected by these means, and patients who have subjected themselves to such methods cannit fail to bave been disappointed. The operation, on the contrary, is trivial, simple, absolutely unattended with danger and uniformly euccess- ful. After a very long experierce and thor- ough trial of all unsurgical procedures that have ever been recommended, we have dis. carded them and now operate in every sinel instance. Our sanitarium overlooking the city has been especially prepared for these cases, and with our staff of graduated nurses and unusual facilities we can promise a cure five days. We ask for no money until our, work is done. No charge whatever for board or sanitarium privileges. Dr. Talcott & Co.

Continuation of Evidence Given Before the Senate Investigation Committee. Y AS CHARGED. Bt S T e S R S Y S SOUTHERN PACIFIC d are due to arrive at STORY OF DEAL WITH PRATT ANIEL T. COLE, coiner at tha United States Mint in this city, was | called yesterday by the Senate com- | mittee to relate his experience in connec- | tion with the effort of Thomas Kirkpat- | 1ick to secure for Captain Sloane a posi- | tior. as pilot at the hands of Commis- i sioner Pratt. Mr. Cole detailed the cir- ! cumstances of the negotiations, which were later broken off, and how. after Pratt had demanded a bribe of $3000, he, Ccle, bad laid the matter before Gov- ernor ge. Mr. Cole's testimony is as foliows Q@.—Do you have any recollection of Mr. | Kirkpatrick coming to you in reference to a ! friend of his that Lia desired to get on as a { pilot under the commission? ~A.—Yes, sir. | Q.—What took place and transpired between 4 and Mr. Kirkpatrick at that time?

If 1 am elected Mayor of Oakland I want to be Mayor of 3 klund, not Mayor of the Repub- lican part of it, or the Municipal League part of it, or of the Democratic part of it, but of al] the people In Oakiand, Republicans, Demo- | crats, Municipal Leaguers and labor unfons. HOPES FOR IMPROVEMENTS. A large proportion of our workingmen own their own homes and are sober, industrious and valuable citizens, none more 5o in the community. Their wants and their reasonable wishes should be respected, and if your ticket is elected, us no doubt it will be, no. distinc- tlons will be made between any class of citl- but all your candidates pledge them- to work solely and entirely for the com- mon good. If we are elected, I have no doubt hat the taxpayers will have sufficlent con- ! fidence in us to ralse money by a bond issue for the purpose of making great municipal improvements, and especially for acquiring a | water supply. If we are not elected, it s as | certain as that the sun will rise to-morrow | that ond_election can be carried, either for water supply or for anything else. To | carry a bond election two-thirds of those who vote must vote in favor of it. That means the taxpayers will control any election bond issue, and they never will vote unless the men who have | for such an suc | the handling of the money are well kno to them, not only as honest men, but pable and experienced men. The tax idence that the money will be rly expended, and it s im- | possible that they should have that confidence it men ara elected to control the municipal vernment whom they do mot know and who have not already acquired their esteem and shown thelr ability to handle and direct large financial transactions. HOLD PUBLIC TRUST. The small property holder is the one jeast able to afford increased taxation for the pur- pose of making municipal improvements. ~He is the most tenacious of his rights in that re- ect and will be the very last one to vote for municipal improvements, unless perfectly satisfied that his hard-earned money will not be wasted. Such being the case, how is .it pessible for the cendidates of the labor unton, it elected, to do for the city what may easily if_your candidates for -the Council are elected? ~ Your candidaies are well known to the entire city. The taxpayers have con- ence in them, and if elected, and they pro- 2 sensible bond issue people will know that their money will not be squandered, but will be used for the purpos: Intended. Is it | not, therefore, perfectly plain that the work- ingmen of this city are standing in their own light when they oppose the election of the candidates whom you have nominated? The Workingmen of Oakland should support vour | candidates in their own Interests. If they want Oakland to lay her own water pipes in the streets, to improve the strests, to buy and for parks and public improvements, to sct o new City Hall, thelr interests require them to stand in With us. We can increase the value of the taxable property within the city, because people will beleve that we can carry on a progressive administration, which must have co honestly and pr be done po KIRKPATRICK RUNS AFOUL OF PRATT'S GREED ‘N his effort to secure the appointment Thomas Kirkpatrick of 1013 Steiner street was among the number that ran afoul of . the greed of Pilot Commissioner Charles H. S. Pratt. Mr. Kirkpatrick was told by Commissioner Pratt, when he in- terviewed that official on behalf of Cap- tain Sloane, that the position could be secured only through the payment of $3000. Captain Sloane, Mr. Kirkpatrick testified, made arrangements to raise the money through placing a mortgage on his farm, but Pratt suddenly broke off nego- tlations, it being understood that another man had secured the position through the exercise of the influence of gold. Mr. Kirkpatrick’s testimony follows: 1 was collecting money here for the Repub- licari State Central Committee, and after the election 1 wanted to help my friend, Captain Sloane, Into that position, a friend cf mine for twenty vears. and I went to l'arls Kilburn first, told him of the situation, and told him how T wanted to get the man on, and sug- gested to Parls that Sloane had never paid anything into any State Central Committee or done anvthing to help the party along, that thix was a position for life for him. and that lingly arrange it so that he would pay something Into the State Central Com- mittee to Paris Kilburn as treasurer at that He sald he could not do anything with it. "I will help you what I can with it. I do not know anythiag about that. You go up and see Major McLaughlin.'" I went up and saw the major and he sald he did not know whether that was the right thing or not, but he did not see any harm in it I told him I insisted on hix taking something. I says, the captaln, wants this position and it Is for life, and the Stats Central Committee is busted. it is needed. So finally we agreed thai Cap- tain Sloane on getting appointed Pilot Com- missioner should put in $800 into the State time. Central Committee fund. ‘Then that ended at that. Major McLaughlin said he would help me what he could. Paris Kilburn, he would help me what he could. Then [ went to my friegd Pratt. [ told Mr. Pratt. No 1'gays, what is it that you want me to do in the way of getting my friend in as pllot? He says it would be necessary to get up a nice petition. - 1 went over the town and got the shipping houses and workel for three days on the petition and got up a very nice one. I came back and presented !t to Mr, Pratt. He asked me who my candidate was. I ‘told him he was on the sea and would come into port in a few days. He -ays it would be well for you to take him around and introduce him to the Pilot Commissioners. 1le saye, I never met him and would like to see him. When Captain Sloane came 'n I took him down and introduced him to Mr. Pratt and Captain Alexander and we had a talk with Mr. Alex- ander and Mr. Pratt, and that was ail there was about that. Then about one or two days —I think it was one day before the Pilot Commissioners were to meet and appoint a pllot. PRATT ARRANGES MEETING. Mr. Pratt came Into my stgre and called now you meeting to-morrow. Well, 1 sa understand_the situation. 'You have You have seen the captain ot th “aptain that is more money than he has got. got a little ranch up here by ‘Santa Rosa, but it ain’t worth hardly anything—can't make a living out of it. He savs, Well, I cannot help it, and he told me that $3000 would be required. Mr. Ward: Q—How much? thousand dollars. case 1 have got to go out and he could do in the matter.

He says, What for? & Rosa, which I do not think is worth $3000, and Mr. Cole says, have the money. as pilot on this new commission. Cole made arrangements for the money. All right, So Mr. Mr. 1 have had no conversation in whateve: The Chairman: outside ot you that position for Mr. Sloane? Pratt little room. the Q.—Was_anybody it would cost $3000 to A.—No, sir. M. will be the means, not only of furnishing em- ploymnt to laboring men, but will increase the value of every homestead in the city. 1 call upon you and every one of you, in talking with your fellow-citizens who are in- clined to support this ticket composed of un- known men, to lay the matter before them from the point of view not only of good citl- zenship, but of their own Interests. If you do_this'candidly and fairly, without heat, and with a just appreclation of the prejudices and feelings of the man you are talking with, you are sure to win out, unless he is so blind that he cannot see which side of his bread is buttered. In conclusion I beg to impress upon 5 ple of Oakland the abeoluts necestty oo toen ing out to vote. If your candidates have be- hind them a tremendous popular majority the water company will understand that it must come to terms; but if, on account of factions, or on account of the voters being too indiffer. ent to come to the polls and do their duty, your ticket is elected by a small majority, the water company will feel that if things can be | a prospect of electing 'its own creatures. But whatever you do, do not fall to vote for Coun- ciimen of known Integrity, intelligence and business capacity. A good Council is the first | requisite for a good city government. With such a Counci) Oakland has everything to hope fer. It will be the beginning of an era of | prosperity such as the city has not known for | iwenty-five years. It is In the hands of the ® | voters, and upon them devolves in this crisis | the good or bad of Oakland's future, New Orleans Racing.

G BLUCKY WO DOES NOT HEL BURGLARSGUA family knob of the door. by this time was partially open. looking into the hallway, saw the truder and his weapon. As soon as Mrs. Datey made her ap- pearance at the door the burglar threw his welght against it. at the same time holding the gun within two inches of the woman's head. “Not a word or I'll kill you,” he said. “There will be a word,” replied Mrs Daley, and the struggle of a lone woman for supremacy over a desperate burglar with a gun commenced. Mrs. Daley jumped behind the door, bracing it with her foot so that it could swing no further inward, and used all her strength in crowding the burglar outside. The battle lasted for some time, but at length she conquered, and the lock, which she had set, snapped. The crook ham- mered violently on the door for a time and then left. Going- to a window Mrs. Daley shouted for help. Her cries attracted the atten- tion of Mrs. Rossl, who lives in an ad- joining house, and that lady telephpned for the police. A search made by the detectives revealed the fact that nothing had been taken, the burglar having been evdiently frightened away by the shouting :l» the woman when she went to the win- ow.

Q.—When did you have that conversation? hortly after he was appointed Pilot Com- missioner. Q.—What was the subject of your con tion with the Commissioner at ihat tim: | —I told him that a friend of mine, also a | friend of his (Captatn Kidston) would Ifke very | much to be appointed pilot of this port; we talked about his qualifications, and he thought he was a verv good man, very well qualified | for the position, and stated to me he would be very happy to record his vote In favor Captain Kidston as a pilot should a vacancy oceur; I guess it was some two or three months afterward 1 met Mr. Pratt and he toid me there was to be & vacancy and wanted to know if Captain Kidston was In town and if I thought he would accept the position. I told | him yes, I thought $o. He was still in town | and he talked about that, he had gone to some expense, certain assessments had been levied, and finally I put to him . straight whether It was a matter of doll and what his price was. Using his own lan guage, he said “the tariff fs $3300.° I t him that I pad no authority to pay out any money from ain Kidston, that 1 would see him and talk the matter over and report to | | | | er: ] him the next dey. 1 waited on Kidston and talked the matter over, and he told me he | would pay that amount, i Mr. Shortridge—He told you what?

T met Pratt the following told him thut Captain Kidston had made ar rangements whereby the money would be pali to any one that Pratt would designate as long | as he was satisfactory and responsible, and he then replied to me that $3500 was not enough He then told me that there was another can didate that offered $5000. I told him as far as 1 was concerned I would have nothing more t do with him or his pilot. As a ship-owner an a man interested in ships, I thought it was n conductve to good se: to have the Commix sioners auction off the positions of pilots and so reported to Kidston and said good-by to him.
