He has | also telegraphed to the California dele- | gation in Congress to use all honorable | means to secure this concession from the Federal authorities. Dr. C. H. Blemer, State veterinarian, has received telegrams in response to inquiries sent out as to the condition in some of the counties below the quar- antine line. From Ventura comes the report that conditions have not been improved, very little rain having fallen. Stockmen in Monterey County tele- graph that the situation has been | greatly improved bv the recent rains, and conditions at present promise fairly well. San Luis Obisno County makes a similar report. Los Angeles County cattlemen are omewhat encouraged, having had an inch of rain, but a greater rainfall is needed to incure feed for the stock. Governor Pardee this morning re- ceived a telegram from Senator George C. Perkins, at Washington, stating that Secretary Wilson is willing to do anything reasonable to relieve the cat- | tlemen of the danger that threatens | their herds, but that he cannot remove the restrictions against moving cattle to other States and Territories. Late reports received from Agricultural De- partment agents in Southern California confirm Secretary Wilson in his re- fusal. Senator Perkins states. —_———— Will Build Short Railroad.

Collins, one of the best known characters of this city, died suddenly this afternoon while seated in the Southern Pacific wait- ing-room at Seventh street and Broad- | w A few moments before his death Collins had entered the waiting-room, | complaining that he felt ill. As it was | plain that the aged man was sick, Po- | lice Officer McSorley was rotified and | the patrol wagon was called to take | the sufferer to the Receiving Hospital. Before the wagon arrived Collins put his hand to his heart as if in pain and expired. | The deceased was a shoemaker by trade and was formerly empléyed by | the Wentworth Boot and Shoe Com- | | pany at the old factory near the Six- | | teenth-street depot. He had resided | in Oakland for nearly thirty years and | { was well known “the whistler,” | from the peculiar h t he had of keeping his lips puckered as if | | whistling. i Collins was the first man on the Pa- | cific Coast to teach ‘the Chinese to make shoes and from his teachings the great Chinese shoe factories in | n Francisco and other cities on the coast have sprung.

OAKLAND,, Feb. 8.—When Edward | E. McNaughton went to the corner of | | Hollis street and Yerba Buena avenue, Emeryville, this morning to complete the removal of a large two-story barn | he had bought last Thursday, Mc- Naughton rubbed his eyes in astonish- ment, for the structure had disap- peared. In fact there wasn’'t a mud- sill left of the storehouse. It was as if some modern Aladdin had been do- ing tricks with a lamp. As soon as the astounded McNaughton came out | of his trance he hustled off to fhe Emeryville police. The result was that Town Justice Coburn issued a big batch of “John Doe” warrants for the arrest of a bunch of forty boys, who, it is charged, had carried off the barn piecemeal. McNaughton's bill of sale for the barn read that the structure should be removed immediately from the lot. He says there is no doubt that the barn has been removed, but McNaugh- ton hasn’t even a shingle to show for his purchase. e e——— MISCELLANEOUS TRADES COUNCIL IS ORGANIZED BIG New Body Will Be Comprised of All Unions Not Affiliated With Other Organizations.

The shot was heard by Mrs. E. York, a neighbor, who found Lages’ body lying on a gounge in a basement where the aged man had made delib- erate preparations for death. Difficulty with a divorced wife over property and despopdency because of ill-health are ascribed as the reasons for Lages' deed. He had been morose for several days and this morning re- fused to eat breakfast with his chil- dren. Shortly before 9 o'clock this morning Lages went down town to a bank and room, drew $100, which he returned with and gave to Miss Helen Lages, one of his daugliters, saying she would probably need the money for household ex- penses. Then the despondent man went to a downstairs room, got a small hand mirror and a large pistol. He placed the muzzle at his right temple, fixing the svot by reflection from the looking-glass. Lages formerly resided in Sacra- mento, where he was in the grocery business. Last week he negotiated for the purchase of E. Koertner's grocery iat Thirty-fourth street and Telegraph avenie. Lages wos a native of Germany. There are five children, Meta, Helen, Matilaa, Christopher and Edward. Al- bert Lages, a stepson, resides in San Francisco. Coroner Mehrmann will hold an inauest.

(Fifty (OLORED CIRL BECONES C0-ED Miss Regina Crawford First Negro Woman to Enter the University of California s Berkeley Office San Francisco Call, 2148 Center Street, Feb. 8. Miss Regina Crawford is the first col- | ored woman to enter the University of California. Through all its years of existence the university has got along without a colored co-ed, though there have been now and then negroes among the fale students. Miss Craw- ford’s coming has not disturbed the even tenor of university life in the least and her reception has been as kindly as that extended to any of the other 2400 students. ¥ Miss Crawfyrd became a full-fledged co-ed to-day. She is a student in logic under H. A. Overstreet and in English under W. M. Hart. Later on she will increase the number of hours of study. The stery of Miss Crawford’s life is one of real heroism. A daughter of a large Mississippi family, she had to be- gin the struggle for a livelihood early in life. She entered the Congregational School for Colored People at Tougaloo, Miss.,, and after a long struggle was compelled to leave and teach in the public schools in order that she might support herself and family. Inspired by the teachers she had met, Miss Crawford determined to seek a university degree. She had heard of California, and, having suffered some- what in health, set her heart upon coming to this State and entering its university. She arrived in California last August, in company with three ‘women friends, and worked for a while in Corning. It was too late to enter the university then and she waited un- til the present term opened. She had previously writtento Miss May Bentley, general secretary of thc Young Wo- men’s Christian Association, and ascer- tained that her reception here would be pleasant. Miss Crawford is interested in her people, as well as her studies, and will help the former with her advice. She intends organizing a Bib~ club for the colored people of Berkeley. * SALLORS START 0 FIGHT DIEL | Armed With a Big Pistol One| .

To settle a grievance that had caused bad blood between them, William | Becker and L. A. Brown, sailors on the whaling barkentine Herman, agreed to fight a duel to-night with pistols at the foot of Fourteenth avenue, on the shore of the estuary. Armed with a | big pistol loaded to capacity, Seaman Brown appeared at the appointed place, So did Policeman M. J. Byrne, who had heard rumcrs of the impending battle. Becker @id not put in an appearance. He did not have a pistol Byrne rounded up the missing duel- ist and sent the pair of belligerent sea- men to the City Prison. It is a felony | under the laws of California to duel, | but Becker made a declaration that | he would be satisfied with a charge of carrying a concealed weapon against his former friend. Though there were denials and ad- missions badly mixing the stery, Beck- | er and Brown did agree on the main | issue, namely, that they were going | to fight it out to-night. The pair of | sailors had been boarding at Nixon's. Fourteenth avenue and Bast Twelfth street. They decided to leave there and went to Mrs. S. Jacobs, near by. But Brown returned to Nixon's, and thereat was Becker very angry. Words followed, and Brown says they were to meet at the selected dueling grounds this night and end their differences a la Francaise. But Becker was unpre- pared because hé was weapenless, and | that is why Byrne found only one prin- | cipal on hand. Becker was allowed to £o his way, while his old shipmate lan- guished in the City Jail. ————— | Soldiers Held for Trial. | OAKLAND, Feb. 8.—William L.| Greene and® Richard C. Clark.

They were on the floor scuffling before it was known that there was trouble be- tween them.
