THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1904. C «NEWS OF THE COUNTY OF ALAMEDA © FICHT RESULIS | FROM OLD FEDD Fruitvale Editor, Plot, Secures for Wholesale WAS KEPT A PRISONER Feafing ‘Warrants Arrests Colonel Frank Lynch Says Carl Hartwick Picketed His Home With Shotgun Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1016 Broadway, Oct. 18. A feud of nearly two years' standing among some of the residents of Fruit- vale, which has several times resulted in arrests and battles in court, has sgain broken out with repewed vio- lence. Aiready three men have been | arrested on charges of disturbing the peace, and warrants are out for two more, who are wanted on the same charge. The complaints are all sworn to by Colonel Frank Lynch, editor and proprietor of the Fruitvale News, who charges the men with having made threats against his life. | The men arrested this afternoon are: E. L. Blackman, Eugene Dean and Carl Hartwick. Constable Mor- ris Lane is now searching for the other two, C. Stickney and Michael Curroll. Lynch says that last night the five men med came to the Satro Park Hotel and after calling him to the door, abused him in violent terms and ended by exhibiting revolvers and threatening his life. He also alleges that for nearly two hours this after- noon Hartwick paraded up and down in front of the hotel with a double | barreled shotgun on his shoulder and dared the proprietor to come out. Lynch, however, believed discretion to be the better part of valor and re- mained inside. The origin of the present trouble dates back nearly two years to a fight between Blackman and a man named Lane over the lease of a piece of prop- erty in Fruitvale, which was used by ckman as a wood and coal yard. Lane, who owned the property, or- dered Blackman to vacate, and when be went for the keys a fight followed, in which Lane was worsted. He then bad Blackman arrested on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon, alleg- ing that the lattgr had struck him with an iron bar. Blackman was af- terward acquitted. A number of the residents of Fruit- | wvale took sideg in the row and the| feud has been intermittenlly carried on ever since. | e COUNCIL WANTS LIGHT I AS TO ITS AUTHORITY Requests City Attorney to Say Whether It Is Trespassing Upon Board of Works. OAKLAND, Oct. 18.—The City Council has referred to the City At- torney for decision the question whether the Council or the Board of Public Works has authority to install new street lights. Councilman Pen- dieton has raised the point to deter- mine what the real purpose of the municipal charter is concerning the duties of the respective bodies. It has been contended at the City Hall for vears that the City Council has by absorption taken unto itself a large amount of municipal business that properly belongs in the depart- ment of public works under the char- ter. There has been no disposition to raise an issue because of the peculiar composition of the Board of Public Works, which is formied of the Mayor, City Attorney and City Engineer, each having 2 deal of work in his own separate department. City Attorney McEilroy has been limited in his inquiry to the point alone of street lighting. The broader subject, it f& not expected, will be drawn into the decision at this time. Mayor Olney has been desirous of reamending the city charter so that the former condition of independent boards shall be restored. —— “Pather of Music Halls” Dies. LONDON, Oct. 18.—Charles Mor- ton, the “father of music halls,” died to-day. Although 87 years of age he remained in active management-of the Palace Theater until a few days ago, when he retired. A farewell matinee, at which all the leading artists were to appear, was in course of prepara- tion for the weteran's benefit. el e . Football Player Hurt. BERKELEY, Oct. 18.—E. W.

The parish fairs of St. Patrick’s and St. Anthony’s churches, which opened last Saturday evening, are the centers of attraction in East and West Ouk-l land and the ladles in charge are vy- ing with each other in arranging new features for the entertainment of those who attend. Both halls were crowded this evening and each of the booths re-! ceived its full share of patronage. When the doors were closed at mid- night the ladies, although tired out, were happy, for they are now assured that the fairs will be successful and that they will be well repaid for the weeks spent in preparation. The West Oakland Auditorium, where the jubilee bazaar of St. Patrick's par- ish is now in progress, was thronged with visitors early in the evening and it was nearly midnight when the last party left the hall. During the even- ing all the committees in charge of the various booths were kept busy and the result was a handsome addition to the funds already raised. The Rev. Father J. B. McNally, pastor of St. Patrick’s Church, expressed hearty satisfaction over the success of the bazaar. The booths, their distinctive colors and the names of committees in charge of them are as follows: Color red—Districts 1 and 5, Sacred Heart booth: President, Mrs. James McAllister; vice Miss Emma Young; committee— er, Miss Rigney, Mrs. Bromer, Miss » Mrs. William Mullins, Mrs. Rollins, , Miss Lizzie O'Conner.

The first three nights of the fair for the benefit of the boys’ school of St. Anthony’s parish have been a success. A pleasing feature of the fair is the musical and literary entertainment given each evening. To-morrow. night there will be a change of the character of the enter- tainment, which 1 . be furnished by members of the Olympic Club of San Francisco. During the evening there will be a boxing exhibition by Jimmy Britt, who is now training in Alameda for his coming contest with Joe Gans.

No part of the $30,000 worth of costly volumes that are now the subject of a suit against the estate of the late Jose- phine Dunsmuir was produced in court to-day, notwithstanding the demand made by Attorney A. A. Moore on be- half of E. Holdaway, publisher. The nearest disclosure of their identity was the production of a copy of a bill to the amount of $15,192. The prices charged would have made the old authors princes among capital- ists had they had their share in the profits from their work. Sir Walter Scott, laboring to pay off his creditors, could hardly have wished for a richer mine than to have seen a magnificent set of his works bring $1920. But this was only an item. Ten volumes of the great operas are listed at $1500. Shakes- peare in hig struggling days would never have believed that a set of his works would have sold for $1000. For thirty-two volumes of Dickens the bibliophile is charged $1280; four vol- umes of Schiller, $140; eighteen volumes of Carlyle, $360; thirty-three volumes of the Anthology, $1320, and some vol- umes on Japan, with scenes, $750. Holdaway to-day swore that all these works were sets of Ilimited editions, many of which cannot be duplicated. They are bound in the best leather and have Mrs. Dunsmuir's monogram on the covers. For this reason, he says, he would be unable to sell them. —_————— SMITH'S CASE NOW GOES TO SECRETARY OF WAR Surgeon General Holds That Soldier Who Married Negress Sllould Be Discharged.

Kicking and struggling in the arms of two big deputy sheriffs, C. Sheahan was forcibly carried from | courtroom to County Jail this afternoon to serve out a two days’ sentence for contempt of court. This was the cli- max to a number of scenes created by the woman during the trial of her di- vorce case against John J. Sheahan, a San Francisco insurance adjuster. She hag interrupted the proceedings upon many occasions during the past few days and this afternoon, from her seat in the rear of the room, she told her brother, who was testifying, not to an- swer certain questions. Judge Melvin immediately ordered the woman into the custody of the Sheriff. She ran out of the courtroom and when she saw the deputies after her she told them to keep away. Dep- uties Sweeney and Simons seized her and she sat down on the floor and compelled them to carry her down-the stairs to the Sheriff’s office. She made matters as difficult for them as she could by Kkicking, but her struggles were of no avail. Later Judge Melvin made an order sending her to jail for two days and she was carried to the County Jail, where she will be allowed to cool off. J. R. Van Anden, her brother, a youth about 16 years of age, was on the stand at the time the interruption oc- curred. He had testified that he had seen Sheahan strike his wife and said that it was while they were living on Lin- den avenue in San Francisco. Van An- den was an inmate at St. Vincent's Or- phan Asylum, near S8an Rafael, for sev- eral years and Attorney Cochrane, who was cross-examining him, asked: “When did you go to St. Vincent's Home?" “Tell him it's none of his business,” shrieked the sister from her seat in the courtroom. Both sides finished their direct testi- mony to-day. Sheahan says that spirits have caused the difficulty between him- self and his wife and she says it's the more material, good right hand of her husband, whom she accuses of striking her upon any provocation. He states that they never quarreled during their married life until about a year ago and then it was because she became a spir- itualistic medium and attempted to turn their home into a resort for be- lievers of her kind. ¢ e WELL-KNOW YOUNG BUSINESS MAN WEDS Theodore Rantzau Married to Miss Hattie Pauline Peach at Home of His Parents in San Leandro. OAKLAND, Oct. 18.—Theodore Rantzau, a well-known young busi- ness man of this city, who for several years has been associated with the firm of Dugdell & Woods, was quietly mar- ried Sunday afternoon to Miss Hattie Pauline Peach, a popular member of the social set of Spokane, Wash., where her parents, Mr, and Mrs. Franz Peach, reside. The wedding took place at the home of the groom's parents, on Davis street in San Lean- dro; the ceremony was performed by the Rev, E. E. Clark, and immediately after the wedding breakfast the young pair left for the south, where they will spend their honeymoon. The Rantzau home was beautitully decorated for the occasion. The colors were green and white. The bride was attended by her sister, and Charles Rantzau, a brother of the groom, acted as best man. —_—— Marriage Licenses.

Know- land, Republican nominee for Con- gress in the Third District, and ap- plause in plenty for E. Myron Wolf, the principal speaker, University and who at Sacramento had done very much to advance the university. In his brief address Sen- ator Lukens referred to the magnifi- cent results achieved by the univer- sity, saying that he took especial pleasure in helping to further the in- terests of the great university for which he cherished much admiration and respect. He described the vigi- lance and efficiency of Assemblyman Waste and Senator Knowland and commended them to the people. Senator Knowland followed, declar- ing his belief that the university is the State's best investment. He then touched upon his candidacy for Con- gress. His declaration made a few weeks ago that if elected he would deem himself fortunate in being able to count upon the advice and assistance of Hon. Victor H. Metcalf, having been criticised by his opponent, Candidate McPike, Senator Knowland reaffirmed it, saying further that if he ever got to a point where he ceased to feel the need of older and more experienced men’s advice, he hoped to be relegated to private life. “I love the great State of California,” said the speaker, “and shall welcome the opportunity to do something for her in Congress, never forgetting the re- sponsibilities that must devolve upon the man who sits as successor to those distinguished Californians, Judge Mc- Kenna and Secretary Metcalf.” E. Myron Wolf entertained the audi- ence for an hour with a witty, logical and applause compelling address, deal- ing with national issues. He defended the President from charges that he has usurped the functions of Congress, ex- plained the Panama canal incident, ex- coriated David Bennett Hill, whom he declared to be “the man behind the gun” in Judge Parker's cause, and contrasted the sane, safe policy of the Kepubligan party with that of the to be unworthy of the suffrages of American voters. —————————— Two Divorces Granted. .

Ehza Barrie Sues to i Recover Valuable Plate From Three Defendants Recalled by Suit Which" l Berkeley Woman Brings I Berkeley Office San Francisco Call, ' 2148 Center street, Oct. 18. An echo of the sensational Barrie when | | Mrs. Eliza Barrie filed suit in Justice | Edgar’s court”to recover silverware ) Worth $299, now in the possession of | Margaret Wade, Edwin Wade and | Alexander Barrie. The three persons named are made defendants in Mrs. Barrie's action. All of them were in- volved by Mrs. Barrie in her weird ac- cusations against Barrie, when she sued him for divorce a year ago. They | are now presumed to reside at the| Barrie home, 2601 Fulton where is kept the silverware she seeks to recover, claiming that it la? her property. A second divorce action between the | Barries is now pending in the bupe-w rior Court of the county. It was| brought by Mr. Barrie as a sequel lov ) his wife's suit for divorce, which re- sulted in the woman’s discomfiture in | court, when she failed to obtain the coveted decree. Mrs. Barrie startled the community a year ago by declaring that her hus- band and his nephew, Edwin Wade, had “railroaded” her to an insane asy- lum because she objected strenuously to the alleged improper actions of Barrie in the home. Mrs. Barrie re- sented the presence of Margaret Wade, a niece, in her home and swore that the husband's actions made the place unfit for a residence for herself and her young daughter. Judge Ogden of Oakland heard the sensational story she had to tell, in- timated his belief that she was not perfectly sound mentally and denied her a decree. Barrie then sued for divorce, alleg- ing cruclty. His wife retorted with a cross-complaint on statutory grounds, to which he entered a denial to-day in the Superior Court while his wife was suing him in the Justice’s Court of Berkeley.

Just as Mrs.-Norwood was chasing the dog from the porch, Mrs. Sears hap- pened along in time to see the incident and immediately imagined the dog had been “sicked” upon her. Ben Sears, a waiter and the head of the Sears household, took L. M. Norwood, Mrs. Norwood's husband, to task. The men | being bested. Mrs. Mary Hendricksen, in the role | of peacemaker, intervened, but, as usual, came off badly. Sears disposed of her with a blow on the face. Norwood and Mrs. Hendricksen caused Sears’ arrest. He was tried be- fore Police Judge George Samuels to- day and found guilty. During the trial it appeared that Mrs. Hendricksen's husband had witnessed the attack on his wife and had not moved ‘to the defense. “Why didn’'t be take a hand?” im- quired Attorney A. L. Frick for Sears. “Is he an Invalid?” added the law- | yer. “No, he isn’t; he's a good Christian,” replied Mrs. Hendricksen, indignantly. Sears will appear Monday for sen- tence. ——————————— LOSES RACE AGAINST DEATH ACROSS THE CONTINENT Cincinnati Attorney Reaches Mother’s Bedside in San Jose a Few Minutes Too Late.
