The Finance Committee of the City Council to-night, after conference with ; City Auditor A. H. Breed, recommend- ed that the tax levy for the current fiscal year be fixed at $1 26, the same as last year. Auditor Breed's estimates fixed the levy at $1 22, but the Council Commit- tee decided to add four cents to that figure for park and boulevard purposes. In addition to providing for the or- din. expenses of maintenance of the municipal departments the committee makes allowances in the levy for $5000 for dredging at the city wharf, $6000 for a new fire engine house at Golden Gate; $2600 for reconstruction of the City Prison, to provide for proper quar- ters for female and juvenile prisoners; $6000 for fire apparatus at the Linda Vista engine-house and an allowance tfor a new fire engine-house at Twelfth and Union streets; $18,000 for the com- pletion of the boulevard extension of Harrison street from Twentieth to Twenty-fourth streets; $2200 for ex- penses of the water rates suit in the United States Circuit Court, and allow- ance for macadamizing streets around Independence square. The Auditor's provision for an in- crease of six men in the Police Depart- ment was cut out. The items in the levy are §1 for maintenance, 11 cents for high schools, 11 cents for bond in- terest and redemption, 4 cents for parks and boulevards, total, $1 26. The tax necessary to meet interest charges on the $960,000 school bond issue will be levied with the State and ccunty tax bills, as the bonds are a lien against Oakland school district, which includes property outside of the for the institution.

OAKLAND, Sept. 28.—Only fifteen summers has Frank McGlaughlin seen, but he is far enough advanced held to answer on a charge of bur- glary. Justice Geary heard evidence tending to convict the lad of burglary to-day and ordered him bound over to the Superior Court. The youth confessed that his ambi- tion to go on a camping trip.inspired his burglarious entrance into an Elm- hurst store, from which he took $15. He needed the money to pay his share of the expenses. The burglary was committed on June 25. In his con- fession the youth involves Louis Cot- ter, also of Elmhurst, but his state- ments are contradictory and the of- ials are not inclined to prosecute Cotter. — e CALIFORNIA DEFEATS LICK. Blue and Gold Freshmen Show Marked Improvement in Play. BERKELEY, Sept. 28.—California’s freshman football team got together well to-day after playing two ragged practice games and scored two touch- downs and a goal against Lick on Berkeley field, making the score 11 to 10. In the first half the fresmen’s chances were materially ajded by a run by Snowdon of twenty yards that put the ball so close to the Lick goal that it was no trouble to boost it over in the next two downs. Richardson failed to kick the goal. Soon after the beginning of the sec- ond half the freshmen scored the sec- ond touchdown. Golcher made a thirty-yard run and left only five yards to gain and these were easily acquired. Richardson kicked the goal. The line-- up was as follows: > Freshmen, Positions. Lick.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Sept. 28.—The freshman football team showed a remarkable reversal of form this afternoon, easily defeating the eleven from the Oakland High School by the score of 16 to 0. Two touch- downs were made and the goals were kicked in the first half. In the second, with just eight seconds to play, Fen- ton, the clever freshman quarterback, dropped back and drop-kicked a fleld goal from the thirty-yard line. It fin- ished a hard game in a spectacular way and added four points to the score.

BRIDECROOM 1S WITNESS Youth Who Married San Francisco Maiden Answers Perjury Charge in Court e e — Oakland Office San Francisco Call. _ 1016 Broadway, Sept. 28. ‘W. H. O'Gara, a youth whose parents live at 960 Geary stréet in San Fran- cisco, took the stand to-day in Judge Hall's court to testify in his own be- half, while seeking to clear himself of the charge of perjury he now faces. O'Gara is a bridegroom of a few months’ experience, who married Mary E. Dunning, also of San Francisco, when, according to her parents, the girl was not yet eighteen years old. O’Gara swore that she was of a mar- riagable age when he secured a license in this city from Deputy County Clerk Martin Hanley. From this circumstance springs the charge of perjury. Four years ago O'Gara was convicted of a felony, the parents of a young Alameda girl, Ella M. Jessie, making a serious charge against him. He served in San Quentin a portion of the time ordered by the court and was released on parole. He met Miss Dunning in San Francisco and their wedding fol- lowed despite parental objection. Four weeks after the wedding he was ar- rested and charged with perjury. On the witness stand to-day he gave his occupation as that of a musician. He is 25 years old, smooth faced, curly haired, chubby—a not unpleasing youth in appearance and his story was that he loved the girl he married, did not know she was under.age and had none but praiseworthy motives when he married her. Argument of counsel was begun this afternoon and the case will go to the jury some time to-morrow morning. —_—_—————— DIVORCE SUIT FOLLOWS CHARGES.— Oakland, Sept. 28.—As sequel to the suit for divorce flled by Mrs. W.

FACCINATION LAW IPRELD Dismissed and Decision JUDGE MELVIN'S RU High School Authorities to Admit Kinnard Twins ~ Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1016 Broadway, Sept. 28. ] After listening for four hours to ar- guments made by counsel in the case brought by°C. E. Kinnard, to test the the vaccination law of the State, Judge H. A. Melvin, without hesitation, sués- tained the demurrer of the District At-! torney, thus defeating the object sought to be gained by the plaintiff. The State law was practically on trial in this action, it being generally under- stood that this test case would serve as a precedent and rule for other com- munities in California. The Anti-Com- pulsory Vaccination League took part in the proceedings, represented by At- torney J. R. Jones. C. E. Kinnard, the plaintiff, is him- self a lawyer. His children, twin girls, | 17 years old, were refused admittance | to the Oakland high school because they had not complied with the vac- cination regulations. The test case fol- | lowed, and to-day was decided upon the demurrer. Judge Melvin's decision, sustaining the demurrer, was given, the court said, because the insufficiency of the plaintiff’s causes for complaint made the demurrer a proper legal proced- ure. It was stated in the decision that if Mr.\Kinnard desires to compel the school authorities to admit his children | they must first be vaccinated, and then | mandamus proceeding will be in order, but not before. SOME CLUB NEWS —_— OAKLAND, Sept. 28.—The ladies of the Oakland Club will have a strong reason to be thankful when the new Polytechnic College | buflding is completed. The classcs. are now | occupying the upper floor of Maple Hall and the noise of restless young feet and sliding chairs is very audible in the club rooms be- low. It was a great relief to-day when the last busy student forsook the temporary school- | room, but by that time the speakers had fin- ished. The ladies in charge of to-day’s programme had prepared a real treat for their guests, and the ‘three addresses were replete with good things, interesting, instructive and witty. Mrs. Caroline Olney, secretary of ElI Camino Real Association, was the first speaker. Her subject, ““The Camino Real,” was one full of interest for every thoroughgoing Californian and to most it was a new story. The camino real means the real road, a term designat- | ing the wagon road. from ' the footpaths con- | necting the early missions. The avowed pur- | pose of the association is to establish a high- | way from €an Diego to Siskiyou, which will-| include the original Camino Real and to do | this ‘the co-operation of every taxpayer and | official m the State is solicited. Not only the building of this proposed highway, but '‘good roads’ is the watchword of the association. Mrg. Olney succeeded in arousing considerable enthusiasm among her listeners, and without a | doubt the husband of every woman who was there to-day had ‘“‘good roads” for dinner to- night. At the close of Mrs. Olney's address, Mrs. Bunnell, the club’s president, in a neat speech thanked her and reminded those pres- ent that Mrs. Olney was a charter member of the Oakland Ciub and, in its infancy, actively associated with its every interest. Miss Josephine Hyde's little talk on Japan was delightful, and she made it very evident that we may learn much of practical art from our trans-Pacific neighbors. Miss Hyde suggested that attractive wayside tea-gardens might be substituted, for the unsightly road- houses that now adorn our public highways. The address by Miss Kate E. Whittaker on *Domestic Science” was by no means as dry as the title, her facile tongue and ready wit holding the pleased attention of all. Before tea was served Mrs. Charles Poulter was heard in two charming vocal numbers, “The Carnival of Venice and Variations' by Benedict and “The Naughty Little Clock” by de Koven. Mrs. Poulter has a sweet voice and is doing some very clever work now. Mrs. A. J. Pilsbury was hostess to-day and was ascisted by other members of the club. Among those present were Mrs. W. S. Palmer, Mrs. W. A. Schrock and guest, Mrs. Wessen- dorf of 'Senta Cruz, Mrs. M. L. Broadwell, Mrs, John Bassford, Mrs. Nora Ryle, Mrs. Cora Jones, Mrs. C. S. Chamberlain, Mrs, Henri Grandjean, Miss Horton, Miss Meserole. <o p Wedding chimes are again in the air, Octo- ber 12 having been selected by two young brides—both members of the smart set—Miss Mabel Donaldson and Miss Florence B. Taylor. The wedding of Miss Donaldson and George Chase will be a San Francisco affair, of course, as the bride's residence is there now, but the nuptials of Miss Taylor and James Ireland will be celebrated here, at the home of the -girl's sudden departure, bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Edward P. Taylor, on Fourteenth street. It promises to be sn’ elaborate ir, over 200 imvitations having been issued. 3 Mics Helen Nelson will entertain on the 3d for Miss Taylor at a card party. Miss Blanche Tisdale, who has returned to Oakland after an extended absence, will be the motif for a pretty affair at the Adelphian Club next week, when three young ladies of Alameda will be the hostesses. One of the many five hundred clubs that en- joyed the season together last winter will probably reorganize. The ladies of the club will_be entertalned by Mrs. Harry P.

An official count will probably be re- quiréd to-determine the fate of two, of the bonding propositions.- The sewer and whart dredging projects may have, received the necessary two-thirds vote. The vote Is so close that not until the City Council has canvassed the ballots will the result-in these two cases be definitely known. > Concerning the other nine features of the bonding scheme—the parks, boule- vards, school, city hall and street im- provement plans, the checking up of votes to-day made no change in the result. The sewer proposition, which may | is credited with having Against it there were 2234 votes cast. For the city wharves improvements there were 4871 votes and in opposition 2247. City Attorney McEilroy to-day ex- plained the law by which the City Council will be guided in determinipg which, if any, of the bond projects re- ceived a sufficient number of votes to carry. He made the following an- nouncement: Under the law, the general municipal im- provement act of 1901, each propesition sub- mitted to the people miust be accepted by the votes of two-thirds of all the voters voting at the election to authorize the issue of bonds In the case of the $17,060,000 bond issue in San Francisco, recently decided by the Su- preme Court, 1t was held that each proposition voted vpon by the people of San Francisco was required to have an afflmative vote of two-thirds of all of the votes cast at the elec- tion. Each item of proposed indebtedness was computed according to the total vote cast at the election, regardless of the fact that any one proposition of itself might have received & two-thirds affirmative vote. The Supreme Court specifically says that éach proposition to carry must receive & two- thirds affirmative vote of the total vote cast. If the total number of ballots cast is 6000, each item to win must have received 4000 af- firmative votes, no matter what proportion of votes Is cast on the item by itself.' Suppose the ftem of sewers received a yote as follows: pull through, For, 3000; against. 1000. Notwithstanding there is & two-thirds majority on this item, it is not two-thirds of the total vote of 6000 and therefore fails to carry. LITTLE GIRL S ARRESTED Matron of an Oakland Home Says That Florence Ellis Stole a Two-Dollar Doll OAKLAND, Sept. 28.—Florence Ellis, 15 years old, was arrested and brought back from her home at Wrights Sta- tion, Santa Cruz Mountains, to-night by Detective George Kyte on a war- rant that charges the girl with stealing a doll, worth $2, from the West Oak- land Home. Grace L. Trevor, matron of the home, swore to the complaiht. Behind the arrest is an effort, it is said, on the part of the home authorities to have the girl brought within the jurisdiction of the Juvenile Court. M Louise White- neck, the girl's moflier, declares she does not know why her daughter has been arrested. The complaint was filed September 3, but the warrant was not served until to-day, although, accord- ing to the mother, her daughter was at the home until last Sunday. Flor- “ence left there then without notifying the authorities. She went to Wrights, where her mother and sisters reside. The girl and her mother insist ‘that the doll in controversy was given to Florence by a Mrs. Dunsmuir of Fruitvale. It was returned to the home people before the she claims. The police have information that leads them to believe that the girl is wanted to explain concerning other missing articles. She had been in the home for two years, having been placed there by her mother. Her father is dead, and the mother remarried recently, and says she had intended to take the girl out of the institution in a short time. Police Judge Mortimer Smith made some investigation to-night,-and al- lowed the girl to go with her mother, who accompanied her daughter from Wrights. The case will be heard to- MOTrow.
