TRAMPS BRING REVENUE TO THE PEACE OFFICIALS Every Hobo Is Worth a Round Dol- lar to Constables and Three 1o Justices. OAKLAND, July 30.—In view of the opinion given;by the District At- torney to-day that under the decision of the Supreme»Court the County Auditor cannot pay constables and Justices of the Peace excent on a fee basis the tramps and hobos are on run. A general descent is to be | ade upon every vagrant in the coun- | 14 it is expected that the jail will be full in the next week. The rec- ords at the County Jail show that but one tremp was arrested between June 24 and July 29. Last night five were brought in and the number will go skyward in a few days. Constables and Justices will not moke expense money this month owing to the general laxity. They will now have to make up for lost time Every t arrested is worth $1 and mileage to the man making an arrest. The Justices are also benefited, for an a fee basis every case on the calendar nets 8$3. A tramp thus costs' the county $4 and uiileage besides his maintenance while serving h.s sen- tence. —_——— Oppose Chicken Ordinance. ALAMEDA.

OAKLAND, July 30. — Willlam Wriske was arrested in Berkeley to- day on the complaint of A. Hager, his brother-in-law.

L‘atz Bhlppmg, mhfel!igmee. :‘ Montreal for u'.,rl ; for New ©f no mean ability. This was demon- | strated to-day, when a search of his| house at 1623 Leroy ovealed | two or three trunks full of stuff he had avenue r he was working. And while his house | was ing searched Sargent again showed his cleverness by giving the po- | lice the slip and making for the hills. | Sargent hdd a way that was all his| own. It was so novel that even the! men who were set to watch him could | not catch him in the act. His scheme | consisted in riding ofi’ on a bicycle when he quit work in the afternoon and then, after circling around the block a few times to deceive his fellow | workmen, return and help himself to all the good things in sight. Sargent practiced his scheme at the house of Benjamin Daflerup of 1615 Prince street, where he helped as a car- penter. Every night when Dallerup came home he noticed something miss- irz. Finally he put a detective on the | trail of Sargent, whose actions had ex- | cited suspicion. But Sargent always eluded detection, and it was not until he betrayed himself by denying his own house address that the offieers fixed upon him as their man. Sargent worked up to noon to-day onj the house and then went home. This gave the officers their chance to catch | Lim. They got a search warrant in Justice Samuels' court this afternoon. Then ther went to Sargent's house— Deputy Marshals Howard and Pickett | and Dallerup himself. Sargent was in| the garden, barcheaded and coatless, | when they arrived. After the warr: was read to him he bade the offic s | search if they wished to. Apparentiy | he was undismayed. | Search of the house revealed all the | things Dallerup had missed. There were | gold and silver watches, clothing, Ma- sonic emblems, jewelry, rugs and blankets, all carefully piled away in big chests, worth probably $500 alto- | gether. This plunder was afterward re- moved to the City Hall, where it will be held as evidence. While the search was going on Sar- gent disappeared. Hatless and coatless he had run for cover. Neighbors last saw him making for the hills. He left behind him an aged mother, with whom he made his home. She sougigf to help her son out of his trouble by offering to restore all the stnlen goods, but this offer will not save the son if | he is caught. Besides Dallerup’s property many things known to have belonged to other people were fouxd in Sargent’s place. Some of these were discovered beneath a pile of hay in the barn. What Sargent wanted with many of the thinge is a mystery, as they were such as could not be sold. | | RETURNS TO PRISON AFTER BRIEF RESPITE Ben Ingram Charged With) Rencwing Brutal Treatment of Spguse and Police Take Husband. OAKLAND, July 30.—In celebra- tion of his release after serving a seventy-five days’ sentence in the City Prison for wife beating, Ben H. In- 8ram, a stationary engineeer, residing at 726 Chester street, drove Mrs. In- gram out of the house this morning after threatening to kill her with a carving knife. Such was the complaint that caused the police to make a hurry-up trip to West Oakland. Ingram was in the house and refused to allow Policeman Andrews to enter. “It's my house, smash in the door,” commanded Mrs. Ingram, who await- ed events outside. *“‘Smash it” Patrol- man Andrews did, and he arrested Ingram, who was returned to the City Prison for safekeening. —_——— Asks for Solicitor’s Arrest.

The considera- tion named in the transfer was of the nominal amount of $10. Johnson filed the bill of sale this afternoon at the County Recorder’s ot fice for record. This was done to pro- tect himself against any proceedings that Gilpin's creditors might take. ‘When questioned concerning the transaction Johnson declined to talk. So far as Gilpin's financial affairs are coneerned no other move was made to-day. TPrank H. Brooks of the Cali- for Rank, which has loanell Gilpin iderable amount on notes, said to-day: * “You can say emphatically that so far as this bank is concerned there is no action contemplated at this time against Gilpin. We are in communica- tion with him and expect to receive some word shortly."” F. L. Krause, attorney for H. Blais, who has levied an attachment on prop- grty of Mrs. Gilpin to secure a claim on a promissory note of $1500, said: “Our clalm i& now in court, and we expect to conduct the litigation there that is necessary to recover. We have no knowledge that there is anything irregular.” e OFFICERS MUST DO FIELD DUTY War Department Amends Order Limiting Camp Ser- vice to Regimental Staffs When it was decided that the Na= tional Guard of California was to go into camp this year it was ordered that none above the rank of colonel should take part in the maneuvers. This order cut out brigade and staff officers, but recently, upon the request of the Gov) ernor, the United States War Depart- ment has issued an order permitting the following to take part in the field exercises at the camp next month: Engineer division—Colonel T. W. Mor- gan, . engineer officer; Lieutenant Colonel J. A. Koster, division inspector; Major L. 8. Sehmitt, aid-de-camp. First Brigade—Lieutenant Colonet A. W.

Some slight change has also been made to facilitate the conveying of troops by the Santa Fe. All baggage and equipment of the State troops will be moved at the ex- pense of the United States Government. All the officers have been supplied by the United States War Department with a neat pamphlet entitled “Instruc- tions for Maneuvers,” and advised to study them carefully so as to be pro- ficient when in the field. ‘The State has made an allowance of 10 cents per day for each man while in camp, to enable each company to purchase such luxuries as are not pro- vided by the army schedule. Through the efforts of Colonel Wil- helm of the Governor's staff the equip- ments for the State troops are being forwarded to destination. Nothing officially has been done up .y to yesterday In the matter of the com- pany at Grass Valley that refused to obey the order to go into camp.

Guidice arrived at his home at 9863, Willow street this evening after his day’s work in San Francisco he found the place deserted and the fur- niture gone. Everything was taken out of the place by second-hand furni- ture dealersg early this morning and Mrs. Guidice disappeared shortly after- ward, with a few belongings packed in a dress suit case, leaving two of her brothers-in-law astounded at the en- tire proceedings and unable to offer Iany explanation of her queer actions. | In speaking of the matter, Alec Guidice, one of the brothers of the deserted husband, said this evening (that he could not account for his j sister-in-law’s action, as there had been no quarel that he knew of be- tween her and her husband.

SSESSMENTS ARE REDUCED Oakland Gas, Light and Heat Company’s Valuation Low- ered by Sum of $455,000 e et EQUALIZERS ~ ADJOURN Same Values Placed Upon Ferry-Roats as Were Fixed by Dr. Washington Dodge | SRR Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1016 Broadway, July 30. The assessment of the franchises of the Oakland Gas, Light and Heat Com- pany for the cities of Oakliand, Ala- meda and Berkeley were reduced by the Board of Equalization at its ses- sion this morning from $400,%00 to $170,- 000. Many minor petitions for reduc- tions were presented by private per- sons. A number of these weré granted. Promptly at the noon hour the board adjourned sine die. In support of the petition for reduc- tion of the assessment on its franchises the gas company was represented by its president, John A. Britton, and his attorney, John A. MecDonald. They argued to the board that their fran- chises were not exclusive but such as any one could get and that they placed no velue cn them. They also declared that the company had to make a profit over its expenses, and if -the expenses should be made heavier by increased taxes it in turn would have to charge more for its product. They failed to see how anything was to be gained by such a procedure., and said, further, that it was taxing the people of the ecity for money which ultimately was spent out over the county. At the end of the hearing the fol- lowing reductions were made: The franchise to construct and maintain gas works and lay gas pipes in the city of Oakland, assessed at $230,000, was reduced’to $50,000: the franchise to vvect and maintain poles and electric xires in the city of Oakland, assessed at §250,100, was reduced to 3100,000; the franchise of the company over the streets of Alameda, assessed gt $39,000, was reduced to $10,000; the franchise 'r the streets of Perkeley, assessed 100, was reduced to $10,000. The matter of the assessment of the ferry-hoats belonging to the Southern Pacifie Company was adjusted, with the consent of all parties, at the valua- tions at which the boats were assessed in San Francisco. RAILROAD MAN THEIR GUEST Members of Traffic Agents’ Association Honor R. H. Countiss at a Banquet —_— No jollier crowd ever gathefed in the banquet hall of the California Hotel than the one that met yesterday to extend wishes for a safe tiip and a prosperous future to R. H. Countiss, agent of the Transcontinental Freight Bureau, who will depart on August 3 for Chicago. Countiss was the guest of the Pacific Coast Association of Traffic Agents and his hosts repre- sented all the great roads of America. Though all regretted that Countiss has been called to new fields of en- deavor, the knowledge that he will visit this city perhaps once every months raised the spirits of his friends nd merriment reigned. S. F. Booth of the Union Pacific as toastmaster had a fund of wit at his command. He assigned the serious phases of lhg event to C. W. Colby as orator and re- inforced him with G. W. Luce and others who responded to toasts. Wal- ter Kneiss and the association quartet furnished the songs, and once or twice, to the lively tunes of the orchestra, T. W. Tenwinkel did the cakewalk around the horseshoe table. In his response to ° e many words of friendship that had been spoken, Countiss said that while he greatly re- gretted his departure from San Fran- cisco, the knowledge that he carried away with him the friendship of his associates of the last five years was especially gratifying. The competition in the railroad business, he continued, was sharper here than in most any place in Americi still he knew of no place where the railroad men worked in greater harmony, or where friend- ship was more closely cemented. He would be here often, he said in con- clusion, and the Kknowledge thax friends were here would be like a wel- come home and each trip to San Fran- cisco he would anticipate with preas- ure., Those present at the banquet in- cluded: J.
