A communication from Mayor Schmitz on the subject of alleged police corrup- tion in Chinatown was forwarded to the Board of Police Commissioners last even- ing. After an investigation the chiet executive of the city finds no evidence that the police recelved money from the hen gamblers and so states. He at length on the testimony of wit- s and records which intimate that money was collected by eight gamblers, known as the “Eight Statesmen,” who gathered in the coin on the representation that it was to be devoted to a protec- tion fund, but says that after a long and thorough inquiry was unable to dis- he cover that it ever got into the proposed channels. “I-must, in fairness to your department, state that while the conditions which exist must be abolished, while there is much to condemn in the unsatisfactory police results obtained in the Chinese | quarter, no legal pogitive proof had been | brought before me,” says the Mayor. Continuing, the communication sug- gests that all foundation for ugly rumors be swept aside and that an additional egquad be placed in.the quarter. It also | guggests that a proclamation be issued | by the chief, declaring that all demands for money are frauds and that no Chi- nese has any influence with the depart- ment. Chlef Wittman agreed to this Wittman said that, in justice to taxpay- ers of the city who paid for protection, a large force of policemen should not be kept in Chinatown. He called attention | to recent crimes and to an influx of crim- inals and the necessity of additional pa- trol_service. Officer Michael Murphy was found guilty of not properly patrolling his beat. Sentence was suspended for one week. —_——————— Dr. J. R. Todd. GRIDLEY, April 21.—Dr. J. R.

During the time he was a resident of Missourl he held high offices in the Masonic fraternity. VIRGINIA, N at the new Forman shaft cai destroyed this morning. The is unknown. The loss is about Clark the clew to his impor- | & because of the little trou- g it and thé readiness with the rose an ble obtain which cut s of its food plant, the rose, | take aterials in solution. The meth- od of experimenting was as follows: Wide-mouthed bottles were filled to with- | in a half inch of the top with sterilized washed sand. A rose twig bearing one apterous, viviparvous female was planted | in each of these jars and the sand thor- | oughly saturated either with distilled wa- ter or with a solution of the chemical be- | ing experimented with. In this way Mr. Clark s able to charge the sap upon | which the aphid under observation was feeding with an excess of the chemical that being used in experiment. A part of the experiments was carried on in rooms of varying temperatures, but no difference in results was noticed un- | der these conditions. The interesting fact s that when the food material of this particular aphidsis charged with an excess of soluble salts of magnesium the winged forms are rapidly produced. Un- der these conditions from 73 to 92 per cent | of the young developed will become wing- ed as inst from four-tenths of 1 per cent to 4.4 per cent when distilled wa- | ter alone is used. Other salts were used, but those of magnesium were the only | kind that developed wings. | Its immense power of muitiplication is | another of the interesting facts about the rose aphid. One aphid will produce twen.- ty young and these will beget other young | until at the fourth generation they have | reproduced themselves in vast numbers. For instance, an_aphid great-grandfather | can boast of 32,768,000,000,000,000,000 great- | grandchildren, equal in weight to 1,638- | 400,000 men, or perhaps to the population | o 'China sevenfold. - FOUND LYING SENSELESS ON A NEW YORK STREET Bruce Glidden Is Removed by Police- man to St. Vincent’s Hospital. NEW YORK, April 21.—The News says at Bruce Glidden, sald to be a well- | known lawyer of San Francisco, was found on the sidewalk in front of 446 Fifth avenue at noon yesterday in an un- conscious state. He was in evening clothes and his appearance had attracted a large crowd when Policemen Schneider, Biglow and Dibes came up. Seeing the man’s condition they called an ambulance from the New York Hospital. Glidden was taken thither and later removed to St. Vincent Hospital, where he is now. At the Imperial Hotel, where he was stopping with Mr. Webber, hislaw partner, it was sald that the two went to the theater on Monday night and that be- tween acts Glidden excused himself for a moment. That was the last seen of him until he was picked up in Fifth avenue. UNIVERSITY HAPPENINGS BERKELEY, April 21.—C. C.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 21.—Senator Hanna was to-night the guest of honor at a banquet tendered the delegates to the convention of the Amalgamated As- soclation of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers that is now holding its twenty-eighth an- nual session here. He was invited as the chairman of the Civic Federation to speak about the National Civic Federa- tion and its work, but he took occasion also to reply to the recent attack at the New Orleans conventlon of President Par- ry of the American Association of Manu- facturers on the relations between organ- ized employers and organized employes. The Senator first told how he became in- terested in the work of the Clvic Federa- tion and, continuing, sald in part: “From the outset 1 found those who are engaged in this work to be earnest, hon- | est and faithful men. Instead of looking possible or probable falure in the face every month and every year has brought good results which have encouraged those {of us who are performing the services, ! so that to-day, my friends, I am glad in | this presence to be able to say that we | are not only encouraged In the work thus far but encouraged far beyond our fond- est hopes in the outlook for the future. “With your permission I want to allude to the recent utterances of the president of an organization known as the Manu- facturers’ Association. I have nothing personal against Mr. Parry. I have the highest respect for that organization be- | cause I know a great deal of its person- { nel and 1 know that it s composed of lib- eral,. high-minded men. I say that it is unfortunate that the question should be considered in so public a way, in so dras- by one who from his own s does not understand the labor question. It s stated: -Organized labor | knows but one law and- that is the law ot 1 force—the law of the Huns and the laws of the savage. All its | purp are accomplished either by act- ual force or by the threat of force.’” That { is not true.” Reading: * ‘Once thoroughly alive to the true nature of this un-American insti- tution of organized labor as at present conducted the people, I firmly believe, will place their stamp of disapproval upon it and it will dwindle In power faster than it grew.’ ‘We will see. In controverty of those statements, I am able to bear witness to | the fact that within the last two years, in connection with this work of the Civie Federation, it has been demonstrated that this question in the interest of organized | or unorganized labor has recelved more | thoughtful and careful consideration from | all classes of the American people than | ever before. “There has been in connection with 1l bor troubles and disturbances many thou- SOME CITIZENS ARE AGAINST Postmaster Schmidt a Their Opposition to dently Advocated by OF BERKELEY CONSOLIDATION| nd George Berry Voice Plan Which Is Being Ar- Mayor Olney of Oakland XX 1 | POSTMASTER OF BERKELEY WHO DOES NOT AGREE WITH MAYOR | OLNEY OF OAKLAND A8 TO THE ADVISABILITY SOLIDATION OF THE TWO TO WNS.

Amicable settlement of the injunction suit which has obstructed the beginning of work on the Union Savings Bank block at the northeast corner of Broadway and Thirteenth street has been accomplished. Satisfactory adjournment of the litigation which threatened seriously to retard oue of Oakland’s most important improve- ments was reached to-day and nothing stands in the way of a rush toward com- pletion of the first skyscraper to adorn Oakland's commerce district. In view of the termination of the legal difficulties which threatened to block con- struction, Architect Walter J. Mathews, in charge, announced to-day that work of demolishing the bank’s half of the Ore- gon block that stands on the site will begin May 1, and will be pushed as rapid- ly as possible. “The contention over the building has been adjusted on terms entirely satisfac- tory,” sald Architect Mathews, “and there is nothing in the way of pushing ahead with the preparation of the site for the new structure.” In developing plans for the new bullding, the height of which has been definitely fixed at eleven stories, Architect Mathews has in hand a floor plan for the bank proper which will provide a space 50x100 feet, absolutely clear of obstructing col- umns or supporting plllars. - The archi- tectural problem is.an interesting ore, for it means that the ten stories above ‘must rest on truss girders of peculiar con- struction, these being substitutes for the | eliminated pillars and posts. The purpose is to glve the bank an apartment that will be as open and free from obstruc- tion as a theater auditorium. The sult which has. temporarily stayed proceedings was brought March 14 in the Superior Court, when Mrs. Minerva Glenn, widow of one of the buflders wof the Oregon block, pleaded an_old-time contract as a bar against the destruction «of the Oregon block. She claimed that Major J. F. Glenn and J. B. White, the builders, agreed that so long as the block was habitable it should not be destroyed. Mrs. Glenn clalmed that this contract affected the title held by the bank to its, fifty feet, which Is one-half of the frontage of the two-story block. It fa understood that in destroying their half of the block the bank people have made entirely satisfactory arrangements con- cerning protection to the fifty feet nortn on Broadway. The temporary injunction against the bank will be dissolved In a day or so. ———— WASHINGTON, April 21.—The naval tug Fortune has arrived at Panama on her long voyage from New York to San Francisco, unacquainted and inexperienced in the ap- 1 am opposed to any such conditions, un- | @ ciiebebivinieiviviirinlvisleleeelie @ | will be given under the auspices of the Citizens’ Club, which was recently or- ganized to encourage a patriotic interest smong the citizens In the affairs of the town and to assist every project that makes for the town’s improvement. Mayor Olney will speak in advocacy of ownership of water and the consolidation of the three citles on this side of the bay. He believes that Oakland, Alameda and Berkeley should participate in the build- | ing of a municipal water plant that will | be a formidable rival for the Contra Cos- ta Water Company’s plant and eventually cause that corporation to sell or retire. ‘And as for the Gonsolidation of the cities, he belleves that to be a thing that will come about in time and benefit thousands of taxpayers.

Mrs. Mary McCleave Crawford, the young wife of Dr. Russell Tracey Craw- ford of the astronomical department of the university, passed away this morning at her home, 1515 Walnut street, after an iliness of but three days from pnelimonia. The disease which blotted out the young life came upon its victim without warn- ing and before she was aware of its fatal grip it had taken hold of her whole sys- tem. Specialists and trained nurses em- ployed all their skill without avall and death triumphed. Mrs. Crawford was an estimable young ! woman of wide acquaintance in Berkeley and elsewhere and possessed all the at- tributes and endowments that win recog- nition everywhere. She was a bride of only six months, her marriage to Dr. | Crawford having followed a long court- ship that began when both entered the | university. They went to Washington for a trip after the wedding, Dr. Crawford | having been appointed a member of the examining board of the Civil Service Commission, and returned to Berkeley only’'a short time ago. | Mrs. Crawford was the daughter of Captain and Mrs. William MecCleave. Nearly all her life was spent in Berkeley. She graduated from the Berkeley High | School and then cntered the university with the class of '%7, which numbered her among its brightest members. She fin- ished the university course in less than | the local school department, in which she taught up to the time of her marriage. The funeral will be held Thursday aft- ernoon at 2 o’clock from the family resi- dence. —_———— Names Special Bond Committee.
