C. Turner and City Councilman G. E. Aitken. | The encounter occurred in the City Engineer's office, on Fourteenth street, in the old public library building. The | cause was a dispute over the projected | third avenue storm drainage | , @ plan fathered by Aitken. Be- hind this is a personal grudge bcl\vuen‘ the men growing out of a political fight ! OAKLAND, May less blackened eyes three years ago. | Turner and Aitken came to blows| after the City Engineer had ordered| the Councilman out of his office and started to eject him forcibly. Aitken | retaliated by punching Turner in the eye. The Engineer returned with a swinging right that caught the Seventh Warder square on th¢ optic, badly dis- it. There were a variety of swings and straight arm jolts before | Deputy City Engineer J. B.

Both men had cooled off over Sunday and expressed regret for the ccurrence. Aitken’s explanation follows: ten plans for the n my district are completed. e had readvertising the plan because Turner said the p would have to be changed to drain a new bank bullding cellar at centh street and Twenty-third venue. When he sald there would be more delay I was put out and finally told him our people had decided to make no change in tha original plans Turner got hot, said I could go to the devil and ordered me out of the office. Then I declared 1 wouldu't go unless he apologized and he replied with a smaesh. I knocked him down and when he got up I was starting out when he hit me In the eve. Turner’s story is much the same, ex- cept that he says the discussion on Ait- ken's side became personally abusive and that the Councilman declared the veoplef of Twenty-third avenue were tired of the long delay and would use it politically against the Engineer. He said: I told Ajtken that if there had been neg- ligence he was to blame. He replied it was my fault and I said if anybody felt that way about it he could go to the devil. Then Altken abused me violently. I ordered him out ahd the trouble began. I lost my temper and must avologize to the,people of Oakland for the occrrrence. There will be no arrests. Three years ago Aitken was actively opposed to Turner's candidacy for City Engineer. After the municipal election Turner's vote as Fire Commissioner assisted in turning Aitken out of the fire depart- ment. Hence the personal feeling. o+ MURDER SCARE ON A FLASH IN THE PAN Explosion of Photographic Powder Causes Wild Alarm and a Call for the Police. OAKLAND, May 23.-—An unexpect- ed explosion of photographic flash powder caused a wild sensation in the vicinity of Lafayette square this after- noon and sent half a dozen detectives and policemen on a hurry-up murder scare to the residence of Herbert Wilde, 619 Tenth street. The only casualty was the byrning of Mrs. Wilde's hand by the sudd! flare-up of the combustible chemical. Mrs. Wilde had been burning let- ters in _an open fireplace in a room where her husband was dozing on a sofa. A package of the flashlight stuff, unknown to Mrs. Wilde, was mixed in the papers she was destroy- ing. When the flames touched it there’ was a puff of flame and smoke and a report that jarred the windows. Some one telephoned to police headquarters that murder had been done. The de- tectives retired as gracefully as pos- sible, Dr. Susan Fenton taking their place and dressing Mrs. Wilde's in- jured hand. —_———————e Commencement Exercises.

In a bulletin issued at the University of California to-day George Roberts, instructor in agricultural chemistry, describes at some length the applica- | tion and effects of the law passed by the last Legislature to regulate the fertilizer industry in this State. Jarge part of the bulletin is devoted to figures to show the results he obtained in the analysis of the fertilizers on the market of this State. Of the eighty- two brands analyzed all were found to come up to the standard and to contain the ingredients claimed for them by the manufacturers. The law is to protect the farmers against impure fertilizers. Acting In accordance with this law, twenty-one manufacturers registered 176 brands of fertilizers and from among them the eighty-two brands analyzed were se- lected. Regarding the results of his in- vestigations, Mr. Roberts says: “Nearly all the goods sold in this State are pretty well up to guarantee. Especially is this true of goods put on the market after the law went into effect. In some instances a brand has been short in one or two ingredients, but had a compensating excess in the others. This increased the value. 1 found that a large number of brands were not on the market.” BISHOP-ELECT DAT RESIGNS Retirement of Chancellor - of Syracuse University Has Produced Great Sensation P LOS ANGELES, May 23.—The Meth- odist General Conference at the open- ing: of its fourth and last week’s labor found itself confronted with a duty almost unprecedented in the history of the Methodist church—that of acting upon the resignation of one of its Bishops-elect. Rev. Dr. James R. Day, chancellor of the Syracuse University, who on last Saturday was choseu as the last of the elght Bishops elected by the present conference, resigned his place In the episcopacy board and was excused, at his request, from further attendance upon the conference Dr. Day resigned the bishropic be- cause, he said, he believed it was God’s will that he retain the chancellorship of Syracuse University and because he ccnsidered his election to the Episco- pacy due to excitement and sympathy in his behalf occasioned by a scurri- lous article published by the Examiner on Saturday morning. Besides acting upon Bishop Day's resignation, the conference to-day heard the report of the tellers on the vote taken Saturday afternoon for three missionary Bishops, which show- ed the election of Dr. I. B. Scott as an additional missionary Bishop to Africa and Dr. William F. Oldham and Dr. John E. Robinson as additional mis- sionary Bishops in Southern Asia. Dr. C. M. Harris was elected on the bal- lot taken this morning tc the mission- ary bishropic of Japan and Korea, a new district created by the present conference. Thursday, May 26, was fixed upon as the date for the conse- cration ceremonies of the seven newly elected general superintendents and four missionary Bishops. Two hours ¢f to-day’s session were devoted to special memorial service in honor of the memory of the Bishops who have died during the last quadrennium and to the late President Willlam McKinley. A motion by Dr. J M. Buckley of New York to proceed to ballot for a suc- cessor to Dr. J. R. Day, resigned, was defeated and the conference voted to postpone indefinitely the further elec- tion of general superintendents. The action of the conference on last Sat- urday in excluding the representatives of a loca! newspaper from press privi- leges was rescinded upon motion of Dr. Buckley, seconded by Judge C. B. Lohr of Delaware. RESIGNATION A SURPRISE. The resignation of Bishop-elect J. R. Day, follewing closely after his elec- tion after a long contest, furnished the sensation of the conference. The in- tention of Dr. Day to resign was not known to the vast body of delegates, as he had cenflded it only to a few inti- mate friends in the matter. Bishop Foss, who was the presiding officer at this morning’s session, gave the first intimation of what was to follow when e AL ADVERTISEMENTS.

He was unable to be present in court this morning and it was meported later that his condi- tion was critical. o E 3 he asked the ccnference to hear a priv- ileged statement by Bishop-elect Day.

But new factors are in every problem; they solve my duty. 1 must return to the work of Christian education. It has come to me within the past twenty-four hours, as never before, that I am not at lib- erty to lay aside the experience and discipline which ten years has brought to me in this work. DR. DAY DEPARTS. “If you ask me why I did not appre- ciate that before I had put you to the trouble of my election, I can only say that some things which for years have hung around the circumference of our thoughts in distance and dim outline suddenly come to us as revelations, forcing us to conclusions. I have reached my decision after opening my mind prayerfully to appeals of duty from every side and every source of light possible to me. I cannot con- scientiously say that I believe myself moved by the Holy Ghost to take upon myself the office and duties of a Bish- op, as our law requires of those who are consecrated to that holy office and ministry, but I do feel myself deeply moved to continue in the work of Chris- tian education. Therefore, with the greatest reverepce for your - wisdom and authority and with keen distress that I must disappoint. those who have elected me to this high office, and re- gretting to fave caused a moment's delay in your important busi; . and thanking vou without attempting the impossible task of finding words ade- quate to express my sense of indebted- ness to you, I submit herewlth, most respectfully, my resignation of the of- fice of Bishop to which you have elect- ed me. I venture to make one request of you—give me your confidence and belief that I have sought honestly to find my duty in the fear of God and in all good conscience.” There was a distinct sensation among the delegates when Dr. Day finished reading his reasons for resignation. Dr. J. M. Buckley was recognized, and after stating that he had unsuccess- fully endeavored in every way possible to induce Bishop-elect Day to abandon his intention to resign, said the con- ference had a perfect legal right to nul- lify its act of election. He cited as a precedent the case of Bishop-elect Joshua Soles, who was chosen by the General Conference of 1820 and who re- signed before being consecrated. He then moved that Bishop Day’s resigna- tion be accepted, and the conference adopted the motion without discussion by a unanimous vote.
