[0-E0S SUCCEED |BODY THAT BEARS MARKS OF MURDER IS FOUND FLOATING WITH THE TIDE Mangled Remains of a Ma'n, With a Stone in a Sack Tied Around the Neck and an Ugly Gash in the Throat, Are Picked Up in Oékland Estuary, Near Adams Wharf, and Police Search in Vain for Clew to Their Identity AKLAND, Oct. 15.—With a stons in a sack tled around the meck, the mangled body of a man was found floating in the estuary near Adams wharf to-day. There was an ugly gash in the throat that leads to the belief that a foul deed has been com- mitted. The remains, however, have been in the water for such_a length of time that it is impossible to reach an opinion as to the cause of death. The body was found by three boys—Joe Kelher of 658 Alice street, Joe Perry and Arthur Whittaker of Sixth avenue. They were unable to throw any light on the affair. The body was dressed in a suit of dark material and the shoes were nearly new. | In the pockets were found some tobacco, a knife, matches, pipe and a memoran- dum book containing addresses. The last is really the only clew that the police have to work on. In the book there are several addresses of lodging-houses, and with the idea that he might possibly have stopped at some of them detectives made inquiries along this- line. The Newland House, Old Kentucky, Tobriner's drug store, Ramona House and the St. Louis saloon were some of the places visited but if he was known at any of the places mentioned the detec- tives failed to establish the fact. Late this afternoon George C. Cole- man of the California Hotel and J. 8. Smith of the Ramona House called at the Morgue, but were unable to state positively whether they had ever seen the deceased before. Both agreed, however, that the body resembled in a general way a man who had occupled rooms at both the places named within the last few weeks. Smiley, however, was seen last Saturday and from the appearance of the body it must have been in the water a much longer time than the six days that have elapsed since then. Careful examination of the skull shows no indieation of a blow having been struck. The hair was entirely gone and the face past all recognition. Had the man cut his own throat it is inconceiva- ble how he could have weighted the body in the manner in which it was found and then found his way into the water. There is nothing in the appearance of the body to indicate that robbery could have been the motive that prompted murder. The police are still in hopes that the body will be identified and the mystery in some way cleared up.

The committee ordered the preparation of a resolution calling the attention of the Board of Works that the charter and two ordinances gives it the power to de- termine the amount of wages to be paid to its employes.

New Practice Act Is to Be Tested in Oakland Courts. % Oakland Office San Franeisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Oct. 16. The State Board of Dental Examiners to-day began an attack upon the denlisu‘ of Oakland who have not complied with | the new State law covering the practice of that profession. Half a dozen arrests were made to-night and there are many more warrants out that will ‘be served upon some of the most reputable of the practitioners of the city to-morrow. Those arrested to-night were P. A. Marriott, s | C. Harnef, J. F. McMath, C. E. Lancas—! ter, Edward Conn and G. N. Hein. All of | them gaye bonds for their appearance | and will have to appear in the Police | Court to-morrow morning. | The warrants were issued without no- | tice and it was through the kindness of the police officials that some of the pro- | fessional men involved were not placed in i an embarrassing position. ! The warrants upon which the dentists | were arrested, and on which more will be | arrested to-morrow, were sworn to by C. C. Hamilton before Justice of the Peace | | George Samuels and were placed in the | hands of the police for service, without | explanation. The general practice of the city is be-} fore Justice of the Peace Smith, who ranks as Police Judge, and why Mr. | Hamilton went before Justice Samuels is ' something that the arrested do not un- derstand. The accused destists claim they do not understand why they should be called | into court upon a ecriminal charge, but | they admit that it is probably because of | some technical infraction of the law cov- | ering the practice of dentistry in the| State. The new law makes certain re- | quirements of dental practitioners with ] regard to license fees and examinations, | and it is evident that the State Dental Examiners have decided that they will| test the new law in Oakland before they 80 elsewhere. No members of the State Board of Den- tal Examiners could be found in Oakland, and the dentists say they know not why they have been arrested. —————— MASONS SELECT THEIR GRAND LODGE OFFICERS Charles W.

He | stated that his work was nearly complet- | ed and that he expected to be able to | make his report to the Supervisors’ Fin- ance Committee in about two weeks. The alleged shortages cover a long period and in Expert Young's report there will be no | less than the notation of some 15,000 dif- ferent items. Vernon F.
