The telephone Stringing a new eompany had been line through East Oakland, using East Twentieth street @s a site for its poles. Monday, during Teilfort's absence, .as he claims, the workmen placed a pole in front of his house. They failed to ask permission. Telfort took matters into his own hands, and with a trusty ax leveled the offending obstruction to the ground. “Telfort does not understand that he has no control over the sidewalk or street,” said Superintendent of Con- struction Flemming of the telephone company. “He does not understand that it is not necessary for us to ask | his permission to set the poles.

OAKLAND, June 9.—No complaint has yet been sworn to against Willard O. Stewart, who shot W. S. Kennedy at the Briggs ranch, near Newark, night before last in a quarrel over Edith Kennedy. Kennedy, it is said, is reluctant to prosecute and has de- ciared he was sorry that Stewart had given himself up to the authorities, as he would not have made a complaint egainst him. The date of the preliminary exami- nation has not been set and it is not known when Stewart will be taken to Newark to confront the viciim of the midnight assault. Stewart is now in the County Jall here, but refuses to make any further statement regarding the affair than has already been pub- lished. t Veterans to Celebrate.

CHURCH BUTB PPLOPFR" - June 9. —Calvary urch has s maiden | 0, o paid to men in other professions: TEACHERS' CLLBIL[K ARRANGE ULRY REACHES ASKS MORE PAY Appears Before Bodrd of Education and Shows Reasons for the Increase NOT ENOUGH FOR LIVING Committees Are Seeking Data as to the Cost of Creature Comforts in State RS e Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1016 Broadway, June 9. The Teachers' Club of Alameda County addressed the Board of Educa- tion this evening upon the question of higher wages. Though the rates have. already been fixed by the board for the ensuing year, the members of the club state that the work now be- ing done by them is in view of future, rather than immediate benefits. Principal 1. D. Martin of the Grant School was the main speaker. He di- rected the attention of the board to the fact that the School Department was being used by men as a stepping stone to other professions, while no other profession was being desefted for that of teaching. His conclusions were that the inducements offered men were not sufficient to hold them and in this connection he said: To gather data upon which estimates may be based. the Teachers' Club of Alameda County has gone systamatically to work and divided this work among a number of com- mittees, We wish to compare the wages paid to the schoolteachers of this city with the taking into consideration, of course, the necessary training and experience required of appligants for positions in the city schools. The scope of this work was then out- lined. One committee was sending cir- culars to people in the various walks of life asking them to fill out blanks stating what they regarded was the lowest estimate for the yearly ex- penses of-a married man, 35 years oid, with a wife and two children to sup- port, taking into consideration what was required of men in any profession- al walk of life. An average of the returns already received was as follows: Rent, $326; light and fuel. $89; additions to equipment, $64; service clothing, man, $100;. clothing wife, laundry, $ literature, $23: books, $28 charity, $07: amusements, $38: carfare $51; summer outing, $81: doctor, $86; insurance, $190; conventions, etc., $49. Total, $2113. This work, it was stated, was to be continued throughout the year. The aim of it is to demonstrate that the remuneration of teachers is not suffi- clent to get the best talent. Women are filling the positions, because they can live more cheaply and have fewer persons dependent upon them. It was maintained that the quality of the work can only be raised by an in- crease in the salary. The figures now being compiled, the club believed, would show conclusively that men with the ability to make teachers could make more money in other lines of work and there was danger that the rising generations were being left to the care of mediocre talent.

WIFE BEATER DMAN BRUTE Judge Samuels Scores De- fendant in Sentencing Him to 125 Days’ Imprisonment Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1016 Broadway, June 9. “A man who can’t drink a glass of liquor without becoming a brute has no right to touch liquor,” declared Police Judge George Samuels to-day when he sentenced A. E. Skinner to 125 days’ im- prisonment in the City Prison for beat- ing his wife. ““The fact that you say you were so dazed you did not know what you were doing is proof that:you were nothing more than a human brute,” continued his Honor. “I would impose the full penalty were it not for the fact that your family will be deprived of sup- port while you are in jail.” Mrs. Skinner testified that her hus- band knocked her senseless and beat his mother-in-law with a club when she tried to save her danghter. — e CYCLE RACES AT INGLESIDE PROMISE TO BE EXCITING All Clubs of the City Combine to Make the Park Track Benefit Meet a Success. Automobile races will be a feature of the programme at Ingleside race track on Sunday afternoon when all the wheel interests of the city will unite in giv- ing a banner race meet for the benefit of Golden Gate Park athletic amphi- theater. All are pulling together for the general good and workers are springing up at every hand.

Destmone, Rob- | L T s e T NO AGREEMENT Is Almost Evenly Divided Over the Guiit of “Jack the Swatter” in Alameda WOMAN IS POSITIVE Miss Kate Cronin Affivms| Beyond Question the Ac- cused Man Assailed Her ALAMEDA, June $.—Milton Blake, accused by the police of being “Jack i the Swatter,” who has terrorized wom- ren and children here for the past five | | months and against whom a charge of | battery had been preferred by Miss Kate Cronin, one of his victims, was tried before a jury in City Justice R. B. Tappan’s court this afternoon, but no verdict was reached, the jury stand- ing six for conviction and five for ac- quittal after being cut three-quarters of an hour. Blake will be tried again on the Cronin charge, as the police feel certain that he is “Jack the Swatter” and that they have a strong case against him. Miss Cronin was positive in her iden- tification of the defendant as the man who attacked and beat her. She re- lated how she had observed him stand- (ing on the northeast corner of Santa Clara avenue and Park street when she alighted from an electric car and how he had followed her north along Santa Clara and grasped her by the throat when she was near Pine street, pum- meled her about the head with his clenched fists and kicked her brutally. SUREAMS, BRinG HELP. ‘When she screamed for help D. E. Peddler, who had been standing at the corner of Park street and Santa Clara avenue, went to her assistance and was told by the young woman of the attack that had been made upon her. While Peddler was escorting Miss Cronin along Santa Clara avenue toward her home they met Blake coming directly toward them. Peddler noticed that he was panting and breathing heavily and stopped him, asking the youth If he wag not the person who had assailed the young woman. Blake denied that he was and in response to questions put him by Peddler said that he had been feeding a horse at High street; that his name was Blake, and that he lived on Walnut street. Miss Cronin would not positively identify Blake while Peddler held him, saying that she dreaded the notoriety it would bring her. As soon as Peddler released the youth he hurried away, and then it was that Miss Cronin informed Peddler that the person’ he released was the one who attacked her. Peddler corroborated the young woeman's testimony, and Blake himself testified that he had met them both and identified them in court as the same persons he had encountered on the night Miss Blake was beaten. THREE QUESTIONS ASKED. Attorney A. L. Frick, who defended Blake, asked but three questions of the defendant upon direct examination. In reply to the first Blake said that he had met Miss Cronin on the night of the attack and in response to the sec- ond denied that he had assaulted her. As his third answer Blake denied that he had on a light suit of clothes on the night the battery was committed. Upon cross-examination by Deputy District Attorney Brown Blake dis- played an uncertainty of memory con- cerning dates and the suits of clothes he had and wore at different times. Other witnesses who gave testimony were Detective George Brown, R. An- derson and the defendant’s mother. Composing the jury were D. Upton, Ira Sanford, 8. McHenry, B. T. Scott, D. Graham, Alfred Clement, I. N. Chap- man, C. F. Banta, E. Losee and C. C. Volberg. There is still another charge of battery against Blake, preferred by Miss Annie Seebeck, who was beaten in the same manner as Miss Cronin and who identifles Blake as her assail- -ant. —_————————— ROWLANDS CONCERT ATTRACTS ATTENTION Programme for This Evening’s Enter- tainment Includes Number of Se- lections by Leading Singers. OAKLAND, June 9.—It is seldom that so promising a programme has been arranged for the music-loving public as that which will be given by Clement Rowlands and the musicians assisting him at Maple Hall on Friday evening. The talent is of the best and every number has been selected with a discriminating care. Mr. Rowlands will render three familiar but always delightful songs—"“Absent,” by Mei- calf; “The Bedouin's Love Song,'” by Pinsuti, and “The Toreador,” from “Carmen.” In the last named song especially is Mr. Rowlands’ fine bary- tone heard to splendid advantage. Miss Gertrude Hibberd, the popular young violinist, will be one of the par- ticipants, playing a berceuse, by Goddard, and Metcalf’'s “Legend.” Mrs. Carrie Brown Dexter will be heard in a charming little French song, ‘“Chere Nuit,” and Frederick Veaco will ‘sing ‘“Tho’ You For- get,’ by Tipton. Miss Carolyn Crew's numbers will be “Haymaking,” by Needham; “Among the Heather,” by Metcalf, and a “Chanson Provincial.” The French song, which is as charm- ing a bit of music as one could de- sire, is the one sung by Miss Crew before the Wednesday Morning Club and which was received with flattering enthusiasm. Miss Crew is a pupil of Mr. Rowlands, so her work will be heard with much interest. Several lother pupils will act as ushers, among them being Miss Ruby Wilson, Miss Addie Dowdle, Miss Ramona Rad- cliffe, Miss Olga Williams, Miss Mabel MacNab, Miss Virginia Bromley, Miss Amy Rice and Miss Lottie Reed. Miss Mabel Hill will be the accom- panist. Leaves $65,000 Estate. OAKLAND, June 9.—The will of filed with Clerk to-day, shows that the deceased left property to the value of $65,000.

CODY'S QUEER ACTIONS. Cody claimg to have been in company with Rhodes|, when the latter was struck and killed by a Berkeley local | train after the pair had jumped from &' freight train on which they had rid- den from Sacramento. ‘What gave rise to suspicions in the Coroner’s mind was the fact that Cody | had not voluntarily come to him and made explanations. Instead, according to his own deposition taken to-night, | Cody left his companion for dead and | by a round-about route through the| railroad yards went to the home of his father, John Cody, at 1475 Third street. Young Cody said nothing to his father about the affair, nor did he mention it to any one until this afternoon, when he casually said to a group of news- boys that he had seen Rhodes killed. Later, upon their urgent demands, Co- dy went to the Morgue, but left a flc- | titious address. The newsboys traced him and this evening Coroner Mehr- mann took charge of the young man. HIS EXPLANATION. In explanation of his conduct, Cody said: “Rhodes and I met at Sacramento | and came down on the freight train.| After we jumped off it was hardly a| minute before the Berkeley train came | along and I tried to grab Sam, but it was too late. When I saw him lying dead on the tracks I was so frightened that I ran away. I.didn’t say anything about it until I met the newsboys to- day. 1 was simply scared to death.” Examination of Rhodes’ body showed no external marks of violence except a bruise on the temple. Coroner Mehr- mann postponed the inquest until Sat- urday night that an autopsy might be held and time given for investigation by the police. “I am not prepared to make any charges,” said the Coroner, “but I had | Cody locked up so as to be on the safe side. His explanation is not entirely satisfactory.” ——————— EIGHTY HOUNDS ENTERED IN INGLESIDE PARK STAKE Losers in the First Round of the Com- petition to Meet in Consolation Event.
