Morgue, and in both cases financial embarrassment is believed to have | been responsible for their desire to end life's battle. ' James McGinty, a waiter, had a | room at 118 Ellis street, but as he | was two months in arrears with his | rent the landlord, Joseph Collin, told ! In response to General MacArthur's | inquirfes, General Lauck stated that he would be able to furnish about 2000 men for the maneuvers, provided the time is set during the latter part of August ,or September. It was agreed | that the latter part of August would | be the most suitable time, and Gen- | eral Lauck took his departure, after re- | ceiving assurance from General Mac- | Arthur that he would soon submit | plans for the maneuvers to the military department of the State. General MacArthur says it is his intention to devote fifteen days to the maneuvers, which he purposes to have take place on some site in the interior of the State, to be selected by him, Doubtlegs the location will be one of the sites recently considered by the army board, while it was searching for | a permanent camping ground. The Na- | tional Guardsmen will go into the camp | on a footing with the regular troops, it is contemplated to drill | several thousand, and will be thor-! oughly instructed under the eye of army experts in the maneuvers of war- | fare and camp life. During their ser- vice in camp the guardsmen will re- | ceive the same pay and rations as the regular troops, ample provisions being made in the Dick bill for their care on such occasions.

We include all Alameda, however, in | our efforts, and are interested strongly in the welfare of the entire city. We have been working to have the rail- road taken off Webster street. The Oakland Board of Trade, the Alameda Advancement Association, and many citizens are lined up in support of this proposition, which is calculated to | |be of great benefit to both Alameda and_Oakland. ““We need a good roadway between Alameda and Oakland. We have | tried to induce the people to plant i palms in Alameda, in which direction the Adelphi Club is strongly interest-, ed. To promote improvement work | in Alameda County, a meeting of all| improvement associations of the cuun-“ ty has been called and a county asso- | | ciation may be formed to take con-| certed action when the interests of | the pntire county are concer:ued. “(ur assoclation wishes to have . | Webster street raised two feet,” said | J.

He at- tended the ball of the Cooks’ and Waiters’ Alliance at 111 Turk street on Saturday night and then went back | to the room he had been ordered to va- | cate. Yesterday morning Collin dis- | covered that gas was escaping from‘ the room, and when he opened the door | he found McGinty dead. The body was removed to the Morgue by Deputy Cor- | oner Fennell.

From papers found by Deputy Coroner Fennell, Finnan, who was about 35 years of age, had apparently been in Manila till last Oc- _tober. There was a letter of introduc- ition from Walter E.
