Evidence Found Shows the Thieves Operated in San Francisco. BSEOLE Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Dec. 3. The police have no information con- cerning the whereabouts of David Kiniry, the murderer of Patrolman | James H. Smith, On this the sixth, day after the shooting the police say they have not landed a clew nor a trace to the fugitive. The best the de- partment had to offer to-day was evi- dence that Kiniry and his dead com- panion, Frank Goldstein, had not con- fined their burglarious operations to Oakland. Among the odds and ends left behind in the room occupied by Kiniry at the Steadman residence, 1362 Grove street, | were a lot of silver half-dimes and a| heavy gold pocket pencil. The former have been identified by J. B. Miller, whose residence, 1246 McAllister street, San Francisca, was ransacked the night of October 16. W.

Holmes, the fireman who was injured on August 13, 1962, by the collision of his fire engine with a street car. H?Im(‘.n died on December 1 of this Jyear, more than a year after the oc- currence of the accident. The attend- ing physiclan, F. Knorp, stated that the chief cause of death was carcino- ma of the large intestine. The body has been placed in the re- ceiving vault at Cypress Lawn Ceme- tery pending the inquest. —_———— Burgler Gets a Light Sentence. William Davis, who pleaded guilty to a charge of burglary before Judge Cook on Wednesday, was sentenced yester- day to serve six months in San Quen- has identified the pencil as among the plunder that burglars carried from his home five or six weeks ago. This convinces the police that the pair were active in their criminal move- ments and equally speedy in disposing of their loot. That Kiniry got the ma- jor portion of the proceeds is also a po- lice theory. The Board of Police and Fire Com- missioriers has been officially advised of the th of Policeman Smith by the following communication from the Chief of Police: “OAKLAND, Cal., Dec. 3, 1903. “To the Honorable Board of Police and Fire Commissioners of the City of | Oakland, Cal.—Gentlemen: I deeply re- gret having to report to your honorable body the death of regular Police Officer James H.

Upon being questioned they | failed to answer him satisfactorily. He told them they must go with him to police headquarters. Immediately one| of them (David Kiniry) shot him. The courageous officer then showed his heroism by nobly standing his ground, | and although mortally wounded shot| and killed the ‘pal’ of the burglar who shot him. “This is not the only time Officer Smith had shown his splendid courdge and intrepid heroism, and it can be truthfully said that he was an honest, congeientious and efficient officer, who died in the performance of his duty.

Berkeley Office San Francisco Call, 2148 Center Street, Dec. 2. Colonel John P. Irish delivered an ad- dress before thé College of Commerce Club this evening in Stiles Hall on “The Effect of Our System of Educa- tion Upon the American Commercial Genius.” The speaker said it remains for the school system to send thinking men into the world, men of character, who will be armed with the apllity to turn the American people from their prejudices and the class” dominations that have lately sprung up, otherwise American character and ingenuity will decline. In part he said: ““This eystem of education wisely ad- ministered is in my judgment the final cause of American manhood. But it we are going to'have high walls built around us and let tyrants rule akter our independence and character has been secured, then our system will be absolutely useless. The purpose of edu- cation is to equip us with those ele- ments of thrift and economy and en- ergy that will fit us for a battle with the world. “But we can't do-this thing altogether in the universities. We must begin in the lower schools. And unless we begin early and stimulate the youth of this generation there will surely be a de- cline. The future will trace the fall of our empire, and it will be signalized by the withdrawal of opportunities for young men and the overcrowding of the professions and trades. “Now, I believe in higher education. I hear some people say that the univer- sity is seeking to establish an arig- tocracy of learning. But I would have this understood—that all occupations are honorable. It is not for us to sneer at them, let them be what they may. 1 believe in this university because it teaches men honorable labor—to go into the fields and work and kill moths {and the things that would ravage our crops. This university is doing a great work for that reason. It is teaching the roots of the soil as well as the roots of Greek. And we can live on the roots of the soil, but not on the Greek roots. “There are a good many sentimental obstacles put in the way of the educa- tion of the American youth nowadays. The time was when we were proud of men who sprang from the hardy occu- pations, which built up that character that gave them leadership. Those men were the men of their time. They had the saving quality of what is some- times called ‘horse sense.’ There were never any classes in those days. It was never intended that there should be any classification of American citizens. This modern idea of class was import- ed from Europe. You can't pick up a paper now but that you see something about the demands of labor, as if labor is the only one of the classes. I've ob- served this about these classes—that there is a set determination to prevent them. That's wh .t is going to impair our American ingenuity and enterprise unless philoso- phy and common sense come to our rescue. We don’t want any class un- | less it be the noble. “These are subjects on which the school system should induce its stu- dents to think. It is not for us to re- main idle and indifferent, but to do just as the generation before us did. These things came to us from a past generation, and it is for us to think about them.” ———————————— Carmen Elect Officers.

BAN tion of 1o { site Litigation Con- cluded. i round in Controversy Is Declared Mineral- Bearing. 2 A S Special Dispatch to The Call. REDDING, Dec. 3.—~E. P. Sherk, Frank Large and Andrew Fletcher have won their fight with the Harri- | 8on Guich Townsite people. over the Bonanza mining claim located in the Harrison Gulch townsite. The register and receiver of the Redding Land Office, hefore whom the contest case was tried and who have had the mat- ter under consideration, handed down their decision this afternoon. The de- cision is against the townsite people. The case has been bitterly fought and the contest proceedings alone oc- cupied nearly seven weeks time. Sherk, Large and Fletcher are the owners of the Bonanza claim at Har- rison Gulch. On August 22, 1901, they filed their application for a pat- ent to the claim. A vear later the Harrison Gulch Townsite people filed an application for a townsite patent and including in their description the Bonanza claim and a part of the Gold Hill extension claim, owned by Midas Gold Company and W. W. Markham. The register and receiver hold that the: Bonanza Is mineral-bearing ground and should be excluded from the townsite patent and that Sherk et al are entitled to a mineral patent. The Gold Hill claim was not mineral- bearing and the townsite people won the decision over Markham. The townsite people will probably appeal to the Commissioner of the General Land Office, but the Midas Company will not. @ sibdeledefefeieeieiriiminieieieieieieiiek @ FLAMES AUIN b G1S FACTORY Sub-Station - Is Gutted by Fire and Ex- plosion.

Fire caused by ignition and explosion of gas in a blast pipe wrecked the “Sta- tion B” plant of the Oakland Gas, Light and Heat Company at First and Brush streets, shortly after 2 o'clock this morning. The flames broke out in thé engine-room and attacked the frame roof, rapidly spreading, gutting the brick structure and threatening the large gasometer east of the building. Fortunately the firemen kept the fire confined to the buflding and prevent®™ a disastrous explosion at the gas tanks. | Engineer George W. Bennett and his assistant, J. Mansfleld, were slightly burned in their fight to control the fire. The boilers and gas manufacturing equipment were badly damaged, but can be made serviceable by repairs. E. | C. Jones, engineer in charge of the gas department of the works, began to clear the wreckage this morning and he said gas making at the station would be resumed by to-morrow. ‘When the explosion came Engineer Bennett was thrown against a brick wall by the force of the concussion, but escaped serious injury. He kept at work battling with (he encroaching flames until the firemen arrived in re- | sponse to a single alarm. In the burned building was a meter department, which suffered $10,000 loss from destroyed apparatus. The loss to the building and machinery is about $30,000, covered by insurance. John A. Britton, manager of the com- pany, said to-daygthat the supply of gas would not be diminished, as “Sta- tion A,” Second and Washington streets, would furnish ample fluid. The property burned was erected by the Equitable Gas Company, which was absorbed by the Oakland Gas, Light and Heat Company, that corporation merging recently with the California Gas and Electric Corpcration. —_——————— TEXAS WOMEN FACETIOUS.

FRESNO, Dec. 3.—Antone Mattos, a well-to-do Italian farmer, assauited his | wife to-day at the Pacific Coast Pack- | ing-house and threw a powder in her| face with the alleged Intention of blinding her. The assault was made in the presence of a big crowd of people Jjust at the noon hour at the packing- house. By good fortune only a little of the powder struck her in the face and she was Injured very slightly. Mattos denfes there was anything in the paper he threw at his wife at all. Several months ago Mattos’ wife called in the ald of officers to protect her from the assaults of her husband, who was beating her and threatening to kill her. The trouble was adjusted at that time, but the next night he again attacked her and neighbors in- terfered and beat him severely. Mrs. Mattos finding herself unable to endure his cruelty left him, and she and her children have since earned their own living in the ‘packing-houses by | hard labor. She began suit for divorce | seyeral weeks. ago. According to the eldest daughter Mattos went to the| pvacking-house purposely to quarrel | with his wife this morning.

Because John Smith, a burglar sen- | tenced to San Quentin for twenty years, | had a considerable supply of opium in | his possession when he came to be re- moved from the County Jail to-day, | Sheriff Bishop has issued an order that ‘\ the visiting days at the prison will bc‘i cut down to Wednesdays and Satur- | days, and that nothing in the way of | food will be allowed to be brought from the outside to those confined in the jail. Owing to the number of Chinese that | have been held here for the Federal Government, there has been an unusual demand for opium in the jail and the most rigid watch has failed to keep the stuff from the prisoners. The Sheriff has come to the conclusion that most of it hds been brought in with the cakes and pies sent in to the prisoners. A large potato was found in the jail yard one day, the inside filled with | opium, and Lee Bang, a Chinese, is now doing a year at San Quentin for attempting to give some cigars filled with the drug to a prisoner, Now there are to be no more cakes and pies and the jail is to become less of a home and more of a prison. e EPISCOPAL CHURCHES ELECT VESTRYMEN Angpual Meetings Held and Officers Named for the Ensuing Year.

ALAMEDA, Dec. 3.—State Senator | J. R. Knowland, Assemblyman J. Clem | Bates and Secretary Edwin Stearns of | the Oakland Board of Trade addressed | the West End Improvement Associa- tion to-night on the proposed better- ment of Webster street roadway, the | main artery of travel between this city | and Oakland. Senator Knowland said that mnny! thousands of dollars had been expended | in keeping the thoroughfare in passa- | | ble condition, but with little success. He asserted that the realty along the | roadway would not stand the assess- | ment that would be necessary to raise | the funds required to make the high- | way what it should be. Senator Knowland explained that there is no law under which the county can be | called upon to assist in improvements within a municipality. He considered that the best plan would be for the mercantile and improvement organi- zations of Alameda and Oakland to join in raising funds by subscription or otherwise to keep the roadway in condition for traffic. He did not be- | lieve that an election for bonds to carry | out the work would succeed. Assemblyman Bates said the Web- ster street roadway was a disgrace to Alameda and announced that he would work in every way to devise a plan for its improvement. Secretary Stearns said that the Oak- land Board of Trade stood ready to | help Alameda rebuild the roadway, as its improvement would redound to the benefit of both cities. It was deeided | that the West End Imrrovement Asso- ciation would meet December 17 inst. with a committee from the Oakland definite plan of procedure will be out- lined. | [ — TRINITY METHODIST | CHURCH TO BUILD BERKELEY, Dec. 3.—The board of trustees of the Trinity Methodist Church tock the first steps toward se- curing a new church building last night | by appointing a committee to get plans i and estimates for such'a structure.
