ALAMEDA. March 10.—Vaccination {or vacation wa} the alternative offered ! twenty-1our hello girls employed in the local telephone office yesterday. With- out an exception each fair operator un- flinchingly underwent the lancet and quill ordeal and lost no time in return- | ing to her seat at the same old switch- board as fit as ever to give subscribers their numbers unless the line was busy. Then the immune maidens sald as sweetly as of yore, “Call again.” They | did not include in this invitation, how- ever, the doctor wlo did the vaccinat- ing. It was because a case of smallpox de- veloped in a house in which three tele- phone girls resided that the health offi- cials deemed it wise to vaccinate all of the operators in the local office with whom the trio had been working. Aus- tin Smith is the patient. He came here recently and took a room at the homu of Mrs. M. Prusso, 1709 Walnut street. Three of Mrs. Prusso's daughters, Misses Myrtle, Hazel and Della Prusso, are telephone operators. The first named two were until Saturday employed in the Alameda office of the Sunset Com- pany. When the case of Smith was di- agnosed as smallpox there was a scarv amang the local hello giris. The Prus- s0 home was quarantined and as an ad- ditional safeguard against a possible spread of the disease the telephone operators were vaccinated by Dr. G. P. Reynolds. | MAKE PREPARATION FOR Y. M.

It was the largest gathering in the history of the society and a'hundred medicos found there solace from profes- sional cares in an elaborate menu and the wine of conversation. The assembly was composed of the eighty members of the society and twenty Invited guests from San Francisco, who embraced ¢he opportunity to gather and renew friend- ships rusted by a year's separation and make of it a most happy time. Dr. O. D. Hamiin, president of the as- soclation and vice president of the Call- fornia State Medical Society, acted as the toastmaster and bade his guests, some of whom were the women of the profes- sion, be seated at a table horseshoe- shaped and elaborate with evergreens, flowers and red-shaded lamps. In calling the assemblage to order Dr. Hamlin referred to the achivements of the year in medical science, the perlod of prosperity that had affected medical men as well as men in other lines of ac- tivity and the harmony and good feeling that everywhere exists among those who heal the sick. In response to proposals toasts were responded to by Dr. Carpen- ter, president of the California State Medical Association; Dr. Wadsworth, vice president of the State society; Drs. Hunt- ington, Cheney, T. W. Huntington, J. M. Willlamson, Barbat, Hertzein, Wakefield and Stanley Stillman, all of San Fran- cisco; Judge S. P. Hall, Dr, Jeremiah Maher, Dr. E. N. Ewer, Dr. A. H.

CHICAGO, March 10.—After sharp com- petition between the transcontinental lines the Government contract for carry- ing United States naval officers and men to and from San Francisco was awarded to the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific railroads west of the Missouri river. Their bid, which was submitted by the South- ern Pacific, amounts to about one-quar- ter of a cent a mile for each passenger to be carried under the contract. The Rock Island had offered a bid somewhat higher. The advantage of the Southern Pacific’'s bid as compared with the offer of the Rock Island was principally in the fact that the Pacific roads under the law ylelds a certain percentage on account of the subsidies and bond indorsements for which they are indebted to the Gov- ernment. The amount of this credit on the newly made contracts will be about $16 for each passenger from Ogden to San Francisco, and as the naval appropriation is not charged with this rebate and the depart- ment gets the benefit of the transporta- tion the arrangement is regarded as high- ly satisfactory to the navy. Under the bids of the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific the rate is to be $5 for each man from Chicago to Ogden and $I8 in cash and credits from Ogden to San Francisco. This is a reduction from about $32, the rate made last year. The bid of the successful roads amounts to $23 from Chicago to the coast and that of the Rock Island would have amounted to about $28. @ il @ FARMER NEETS STAMNGE DENTH Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, March 10.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, March 10. ‘With a plurality of 1500, Warrey Olney stands elected Mayor of Oakland. E. L. Balr, the Unlon Labor Mayoralty candidate, was burled deep in the ballot box, and only one straight out Union Labor candidate was elected. This one was Charles D. Rogers, who is chosen as School Director of the Sixth Ward. The labor vote refused to be a unit and the result proves that political managers cannot manipulate labor unions in Oak- | land along purely political lines. The men who will serve the City of Oakland for the two years beginning April 6 are . Mayor—Warren Olney. City Attorney—J. E. McElroy. City Engineer—F. C. Turner. 'huaurex-—l"‘elwn Taylor. Auditor—A.

Hunt, the Republican and | 00 "o b i5ze over which the water was | Municipal League candidate for member of the Board of Education at large, and | Dr. Myra Knox, the incumbent, who had | Democratic and Union Labor nomina- tions. It required the complete vote to show that Hunt is ahead by less than 100 votes. * The maforitles and pluralities right down the line are of the kind that leave no room for argument. They run, for tho leading candidates, into the thousands. Z. T. Gilpin, who was injected into the Mayoralty fight as an “Independent Re- publican,” ran exactly 255 strong. Arthur H. Breed, re-elected as Auditor, polled 6900 votes, the highest on the ticket. He ran 4200 ahead of his Union Labor opponent; J. T. Kerns. Complete returns give Felton Taylor for Treasurer 1500 majority over Murray Laidlaw, the Union Labor man. John E. McElroy, elected City Attorney, has James A, Johnson beaten by 1100 and Espey, the Municipal League nominee, by 1800. City Engineer Turner is re-elected by a ma- Jority of 2300 over A. R. Guppy, the Union Labor nominee. The successful members-at-large-elect of the Board of Education have pluralities ranging from 1600 to 4300, The vote on Councllmen at large gives pluralities of from 230 for Cuvellier over Thomas Gallagher, tee lowest of the four Union Labor nominees, down to 1300, the figure by which Aitken, the Republican and Union Labor candidate, defeated J. W. Evans, the Municipal League nomi- nee. The completed returns show no change in the result on any of the offices forecasted from the partlal figures, except that of the defeat of Dr. Knox, and the official canvass will be closely watched. The final figures show that Olney car- ried every ward in the city decisively, except the Sixth, and there Bair had 440 majority. McElroy carried the First, Sec- ond, Third, Fourth and Sixth wards. Johnson won out in the Fifth and Espey carrfed the Seventh. PROHIBITIONISTS WEAK. The Socialists polled 391 votes for Rob- ert Vincent, their candidate for Mayor.
