School Directors and Cupid Shake Up the Alameda Department. —_— ALAMEDA, June 5.—Ten pedagogues, including two principals of grammar schools, five instructors in the Alameda High School and three teachers in the grammar grades, were no longer connect- ed with the local department after the new Board of Education completed its annual election of teachers to-night. Of the pedagogues retired, it is understood that five were requested to tender their resignations. Two of the teachers, both women, resigned to get married. One in- structor laid aside pedagogy to take up law; another wanted to return to Oregon, and the course over which another pre- “ sided was abolished on the score of econ- omy. | Principal 0. E. Swain of the Wilson ‘School filed his resignation by request, the Board of Education considering that as a disciplinarian he was not strict enough. Swain was principal for nearly ten years and was popular with his pu- | plls and their parents. Principal George D. Kierulff was deemed too severe and brusque in his treatment of pupils and parents and his resignation was also on | the requested list. He came here from | Berkeley four yvears ago. Mrs. Mary | Dickson, commercial teacher of the Ala- | meda High School staff and continuously |in the department for twenty-one years, resigned at the request of the Board of Education. She had been a political power in the department under | former Boards of Education, but was not strong with the present one, which, it is sald, opposed the mixing of | politics with educational affairs. Profes- sor J. H. Firehammer, instructor in nat- ural science in the Alameda High School for fifteen years, and Miss Emily Hamil- ton, teacher of English history in the same institution for nearly the same pe- | riod, were also among those who stepped | down and out by invitation of the Board | of Education. Professor Leon Martin, assistant teacher | in history at the Alameda High School, relinquished his place to read Blackstone. Miss Lillian Versalovich, teacher of Span. ish, was retired because the course has been abolished. Miss Ada Conrad and | Miss Jane Lawrence, grammar school | teachers, resigned pedagogy to assume | matrimony in the near future. Miss Ada Cornwall, an assistant teacher, will re- | turn to Oregon. The retirement of O. E. Swain, principal of the Wilson School, was not accom- plished without some little friction. A | number of Alameda citizens, headed by | Colonel Babcock, made addresses to the Board of Education in his favoer, and there was a petition from some of his school children, but the vote of the board was unanimous for his removal. The three principals elected were Wil- liam W. Kemp, Clinton E. Miller and Duncan McKinnon. They will be assigned later. Three were elected, as there will have to be a principal for the Porter School when the high school moves into the new building. | The following were elected to the va- cancies in the high scho | Wright, assistant in history | ford, commercial department um, sclence; Rose Hohfeld, English. Those elected to the grammar department | without assignment were Edythe Chis- holm, Katherine Dorsch and Ida M. Ray. Anna Keegan, who has been a substitute | teacher, was made a regular teacher in | the department. —_——— ! Hancock School Promotions.

He was taken to the Park Emergency Hos- pital, where Dr. Leonard dressed his wor pion’s skull was fractured, but an ex- amination proved that such was not the case.

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, Trouble With Its Instructors. o TR Acting President Patton Comes to California to Seek Men. —— Berkeley Office San Francisco Call, 2148 Center street, June 5. Professor H. B. Patton, acting president of the College of Mines in Golden, Colo., had a consultation with President Wheel- er at the University of California to-day that is jmportant to the local institution. The fact is that Professor Patton’s -col- lege is worrying along with four instruc- tors less than it ought to have and he has come to California as the special em- issary of the board of trustees to enlist the sympathy and assistance of President ‘Wheeler in the effort to fill the gaps. The College of Mines is having a lot of trouble getting men to teach. It seems that the instructors are so much better off financially when they work for pri- vate concerns that they do not want to work for a university, so they turn down all good offers. The board of trustees sent a committee to the Eastern colleges a few months ago, but they returned empty handed after visiting them all in the search for instructors. Now, as a last resort, the acting president has been sent to California. To the men offered these vacant places professorships will be given. Even if they are only instructors they will be elevated to the higher rank. President Wheeler has promised to do all he can to assist President Patton, but so far has not been very successful in getting men. It is not altogether over its instructors that the College of Mines is having trou- ble, however. It is having trouble get- ting a president, too. It seems that no- body wants to accept the presidency of a State university where so much politics enters and there is continuous bickering. The College of Mines has had two pres- idents within the last year or two. Pro- fessor Patton has just agreed to take the post until the place is filled, when he will 8o back to his professorship in mining. —————————— COLORED BOOTBLACK PROVES A SURPRISE Resents With a Blow an Offense Of- fered by Lieutenant Carrigan and Two Friends. When Lieutenant C. Carrigan, U. §. A., University of California and a volunteer in the recent war with Spain, awoke in his temporary quarters at the Palace Ho- tel this morning he was sorer but prob- ably wiser from an experience of the pre- vious night. Carrigan and two young companions, with spirits noticeably buoy- ant, strolled into the Palace Hotel last evening and proceeded to demolish the boot blacking establishment located in the basement of the big hostelry. Something | in the architectural design of the stand, s0 it is believed, was objectionable to the trio and they lifted the structure from its base and threw it to the other end of the room. The incident might have passed without notice from the colored made reference to the bootblack’s color in language that riled his blood and im- | mediately put him in a fighting mood. | Suddenly turning on his tormentors, the | black man floored them in rapid succes- | slon. The blow received by Carrigan landed squarely on bis mouth, from which | blood flowed freely for several minutes. ‘ Another of the three received a black eye | and the third got a swat on the nose that made that organ look like a car- i | | mine colored incandescent electric light globe. It was a one-sided fight, for the white men quickly realized that they | were up against a tartar and were not| slow in beating a retreat to the office floor of the hotel. It is to be a participant in a boxing con- test next week and has just begun slow- ing up on his training when the oppor- | tunity to try his prowess was afforded him last evening. Carrigan and his two companions left the hotel, but returned 10:30, and for a time it was thought that they had come back for more trou- ble. Quite to the contrary, however, the lieutenant went directly to his room and his two friends. realizing that he was out of danger for the night, again took their departure. ——————— BURGLAR MAKES AWAY WITH BULKY PLUNDER Invades an Ellis-Street Establish- i ment and Makes 2 Big | Haul. | Captain of Detectives Martin has de- | { | 1 | i tailed two of his men to investigate a daring early evening burglary that oc- | curred at 240 Ellis street on Thursday. | The tailor shop of Sam Creger was en- | tered by thieves and goods valued at $250 | taken i “Fhe stolen property includes fifty pairs of trousers, several overcoats, many | coats and three bolts of cloth.

Point From Saloon Proprietor. R Obtains .Sma.ll Amount, but Taking Alarm Fires and Disappears. —_—— Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, June 5. A desperate attempt was made about 11 o'clock last night by a lone man to hold up the saloon of Louis Marini at 690 Mar- ket street. The robber was partially suc- cessful. The police to-day arrested a young man on a scow who gave the name of George Williams, but the detectives are about satisfied that he had nothing to do with it. Marini stated that at about 11 o'clock last night a man with a white mask across his face suddenly appeared in the door of his place, and, leveling a pistol at him, ordered him to throw out his sack. Marini went to the cash register, took out $5 and gave it to the man, who was about to make further investigation for himself when Marini’s father-in-law appeared at the door. The robber fired a shot at him and then decamped. TWO FRENCH SAILORS ON TRIAL FOR BURGLARY Accused of Stealing Safe and COon- tents From a Montgomery- Avenue Bakery. A jury was impaneled in Judge Lawlor's court yesterday to try the case of Ga- briel Giraud and Gustave Majonie, French sailors, on a charge of burglary. The case in several respects is a remarkable one. The two defendants and another man, ,who was not arrested, broke into the bakery of Alexander Bailly, at 822 Montgomery avenue, in the early morn- ing of January 11, carried the safe to the sidewalk, loaded it on a wagon and drove to a vacant lot near North Beach, where it was broken open and the con- tents, consisting of $612 in coin and sev- eral checks, stolen. The safe was left in the lot. They procured, the horse and wagon through F. Marion” Wells, the well-known sculptor. He testified yesterday that he had known Giraud for a short time, and | on the evening before the burglary Giraud called at his rooms, 1433 Stockton street, and asked him as a favor to go to a liv- ery stable and order for him a horse and light wagon, as he could not speak Eng- lish and wanted the rig to go hunting with some friends. Wells did as request- ed. Other witnesses were examined and the case was continued till Monday. LamERR Lo Architects Compete.

Because the legal habit was strong in him a Maine lawyer has brought an ac- tion for assault Instead of using a stone hammer on a jovial friend who shook hands with him so heartily the other day as to fracture his arm at the wrist, There is really much to say in favor of uniting both imeans of redress in what may be calling, without punning, a joint form of procedure. The man who, under cover and pretense of a friendly greeting, hands out to all his acquaintances as much torture as he can concentrate in his big, mule- like wrists, deserves all that can be done to him. He is the offensive egotist par excellence.—New York Mall and Express. e Eradicating Use of Opium.

TRACK WALKER SHVES A TRAIN on the Verge of Catastrophe. Grass Fire Destroys Trestle. Passengers Forced to Walk to Niles. —_— Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, June 5. ‘A grass fire destroyed a trestle on the Livermore line near Mayburg, in Niles Canyon, some time last night, and what is known as the *‘Hoosier Local’” narrow- 1y escaped disaster on its trip to the mole this morning. As it was, the train was unable to come through to Oakland and the commuters who had to be at work this morning were forced tggwalk the tles four miles into Niles and take a train from there. The Livermore local left that place af 7 o’clock. When near Mayburg the train suddenly came to a stop. A track-walker named Crane had signaled the train to come to a standstill. He took the con- ductor and engineer up the /track a lit- tle way and showed them a trestle with the woodwork entirely gone.

Recommendation Made tor Award of Battleship Contracts. G Special WASHINGTON, June 5.—“What has happened to the shipbuilding trust” is Dispatch to The Call the question that puzzles the officials in Washington, particularly those of the Navy Department. The giant combina- tion appears to have dropped out of sight, at least so far as competition for big Government contracts is concerned. Secretary of the Navy Moody this after- noon received from the board of com= struction a recommendation for awards of contracts for the construction of one 16,000-ton battleship each to the Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Company. whose bid was $4.110.000; the New York Shipbuilding Company of Camden. N. J.. whose bid was $4.165.000, and the Fope River Ship and Engine Company, whose bid was $4,179,000. W Rear Admiral Bowles, chief of the bu- reau of construction, and Rear Admiral Bradford, chief of the bureau of equip- ment, both of whom were members of the board, were not present at the meet- ing to-day. Secretary Moody prefers to confer with me of his naval advisers before approving the recommendation. Since the bids were submitted the ques- tion has been repeated, “Where is the shipbuilding trust?” The Eastern Ship- bullding Company was the only member of the trust that bid on these battleships and its bid was the highest of the lot, $4,192,000 for one ship. The remarkable advance in the cost of materfal. esvecially of steel. is demon- strated by the narrow margin made by the builders between bids and the amount of the appropriation for this purpose, $.- 212,000. Another notable feature of these bids is the fact that a shipbuilding com- pany feels able to build a battleship in less than forty-two months. This w the length of time required three years ago. No improvement seems to have been made in the ability of the contractors to do faster work on war eraft, despite the fact that they have more of it than ever before. ——e—— ——— ¥ WASHINGTON MASS MEETINC.
