THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1904. «NEWS OF THE COUNTY OF ALAMEDA SEWER CASE T0 RIVAL JONEY CALF. Private Wastepipe Casus Belli Neighborhood Row Is on Between Fashionable People and It Reaches Court for Adjustment. OAKLAND, Oct. 28, —There is trouble over a sewer in the fashionable part of the city and George H. Wheaton and M. W. Kales, both prominent in social and business circles, have gone to law about the pipe leading out of their ack yards Their homes adjoin in the Lakeside district, being situated at the corner ake and Jackson etreets. The sewer which the trouble has arisen has used by a number of the residents part of the city for the last of a century. Kales has threat- lig it up. far back as 1876, Wheaton states ened to As n his petition, he and several of his neighbors clubbed together and built a private. sewer. Henry H. More, who then owned the property which Kales has since purchased, gave a perpetual right to those interested in the matter to maintain such & sewer and run it under the back of his premises. In 1887 bought the property - with knowledge of the sewer and the ar- Kales rangement and for some time used it himself. Then trouble arose and the sewer has been the cause of a rupture and a cutting off pf diplomatic re- lations. 2 Kales objects to the sewer. It is further alleged he has refused to allow his neighbors to have the pipe repaired where it runs through his premises. They are in daily danger of being flooded out of their homes and he has now threatened to.dig up the objec- tionable pipe and cast it out into the street. In this extremity the courts have been appealed to and Wheaton has asked for an injunction to restrain Kales from carrying out his expressed purpose. . | ~The sewer has been the bone of con- | tention between the men for some time |.and in different ways has come up be- | fore the City Council and the street committee, but now that it has been taken into the courts it is expected that, like the famous Jones County calf case, it will afford material for suits for years to come. —_——— UNIVERSITY EVENTS BERKELEY, Oct. 28.—Lewis Buikeley, leader of the California rooters, whose vocal efforts arc intended to inepire the “blue and #0ld” on the football field and elsewhere when college spirit Js to be shown, believes he has made his s discovery shorts in excelling any record hitherto made by California rboters.

OAKLAND, Oct. 28—t is no uncommon thing these days, while making a call, to learn from your hostess that she has been rummag- ing through the attic or some almost forgotten | closet in search of ““has-been®’ Fabiola must raise that $12,000 that the new nurses’ home is to cost, and many and various are the plans already matured by the fertile minded ladies of the hospital association. Hence the nosing around in dark corners, for the very first thing on the programme is a “rummage sale,” and the ladies In charge are trying to procure arti- cles that will be well worth the prices asked. Indeed, it would seem that nobody in town owns anything really old any more, there have been g0 many rummage sales. S0 of ne- cessity the rummage articles will be almost new. The Fabjola women expect to run an up-to-date department store this time, where anything can be bought from a horseshoe 10 @ patent disnwasher or a silk gown a-brac, kiichen utensils, furniture, clothing, books or piancs will be gladly received by this bend of willing workers, and those desiring to contribute of their surplus store may lcave ar- ticles at Kohler & Chase's music store (be: tween now and Wednesday) or can have them called for by notifying Mrs. Wallace Everson or_any of the Fablola ladies. Then in December comes the annual ‘“‘calen- dar tea” and Mrs. Chabot will agstn throw open her beautiful home on Madison street. Those who attended last year have not forgot- ten the delightful musical programme that was the best part of a memcrable afternoon. It is safe to predict that the coming event will equal that of last year—it surely could not be better. i The dey of the ‘‘calendar tea—December 3—will be distinguished by another interesting event, the wedding of Miss Louise Stubbs and Morgan Woodward Jellett. Miss Stubbs has Just taken the public into her confidence and the announcement of her engagement has caused a pleasant ripple cf surprise in the social set of which Miss Stubbs is an accomplished mem- ber. She has a very vleasing contralto voice, which, with a modest and unassuming charm of manner, has made her an acquisition to any social function. She is a daughter of D. D. Stubbs, secretary of the Occidental and Ori- ental Steamship Company, and & niece of J. C. Stubbe, former traffic manager of thg Southern Pacific. The wedding will take place at the bride’s home on Castro street. Mrs. T. C. Coogan entertained a little card club last Wednesday, the prize, which is al- weys a dainty cup and saucer, being won by Mrs, Mathes. This same club formerly de- voted itself to euchre, but now five hundred furnishes a motive for existence. Mrs. W. S. Baxter will be hostess next time, and the other mcmbers are Mrs. M. W. Hall, Mrs. Charles Rodolph, Mrs. George Rodolph, Mrs. E. C. Morrison, Mrs. J. W. Nelson, Mrs. Mel- vin Chapman, Mrs. Mathes, Mrs. Merrill, Mrs. Ree, Mrs. W. G. Palmanteer and Mrs. Corgan. » e e Cards are out for what promises to be an interesting _debutante affair. rs. W. N. Kleeman will receive on November 8, to for- mally introduce her daughter, Miss Estelle Kleeman. The hospitable home ‘of the Kiee- mans in the lake district is frequently the scerie of pleasant informal affairs, but this will be the first important event since Miss Kleeman's graduation, 3 year ago, from Mills College. A large number of invitations have been sent out and without doubt the reception wiil be one of the season’s brilliant events. A bridesmaids’ luncheon will be one of next week's charming events, Miss Kendall's at- tendants to be the guests and Miss Kendall's mother, Mrs. F. I. Kendall, to be the hostess. It is Wure to be the jolliest kind of an affair, for the girls are all such good friends. The party will include: Miss Letitia Barry, Miss Anita Oliver, Miss Noelle de Golia, Miss Marion Walsh, Miss Myrtle Sims, Miss Ruth Kales and Miss L.Iml!l. lneu. Next Monday the Cosmos Club will rea: semble for the winter at the residence of Mrs. r Sather, the club's president. On Thursday next Mrs. W. S.

F. Forderer, C. J. Hammeond and B. E. Combs to- day, Superintendent G. A. Wiese of the municipal electric light and power department agreed to tender his resig- nation, to take effect the first of De- cember. The demand of City Trustee W. M. Bowers for Wiese's removal will be complied with and that official will continue to remain a member of the municipal board instead of retir- ing, as he declared he would if his recommendatioy for the superintend- ent’s removal were not supported. When Forderer, Mammond and Combs had persuaded Wiese that his resignation was imperative he consent- ed to leave the employ of the city at the end of next month, and a letter ex- plaining the agreement was drafted and forwarded to Bowers. Wiese has been superintendent of the municipal electric. plant for more than ten years. Frequent rows with Trustee Bowers, who is chairman of the light plant committee, are the di- rect cause of his enforced resignation. J. B. Kahn of San Francisco has made application for the position. —_—————— WOMEN INDIGNANT AT BOLDNESS OF INTRUDER Berkeley Aroused Over Acts of Man Who Peeps Into Windows of Bedrooms. BERKELEY, Oct. 28.—Women and girls in the neighborhood of Channing way and Fulton streét have been thoroughly frightened by the anties of a mysterious intruder, who is ap- parently a “Peeping Tom"” or a burg- lar. ‘:l‘he marauder has raised windows, lifted curtains of bedrooms and shown his face to women during the last two weeks. Half a dozen families have made systematic “attempts to catch and punish him, but without success. The Cotrel family at 2124 Channing way was the first to announce that “Peeping Tom” was making life wretched for the feminine 61k and at once they were informed by their neighbors that the same sort of dis- agreeable experiences had- been en- dured by the women of the Payson family, the Thurkelson family, the Sperry family, and ,Mrs. T. Shipman. Each member of this group relates a story which seems to prove ‘that a mysterious individual, who is either a desperado or a degenerate, makes his headquarters in the neighborhood of Fulton street and Channing way and systematically attempts to secure entrance to the homes of that fash- ionable neighborhood. “Peeping Tom” has had ”several very narrow escapes from being cap- tured. He has been cornered, but has always managed to escape. ———————— Funeral of Bert H. Swan. OAKLAND, Oct. 28.—The funeral of Bert H.

Young Dressmaker Struck by Electric Car and Fatally Hurt. Both Legs Are Severed, and the Girl, Soon to Marry, Expires on the Operating Table. OAKLAND, Oct. 28.—Miss Stella Oglio, 24 years old, a dressmaker, re- siding at 1461 Broadway, was struck by a north-bound ‘Shattuck avenue car, No. 156, in charge of Motorman C. W. Haladay, at Forty-sixth street and Shattuck avenue at 6:45 o’clock. to- night and was so badly injured that she died two hours later at the Hast Bay Sanitarium “without regaining con- sciousness. Both the unfortunate woman's legs were cut off just below the hips and’she received other injuries about the head and body. Miss Oglio was to have been married on Sunday, November 6. F. Simpson, the man to whom she was engaged, is now on his way from Los Angeles to meet the girl who has been taken from him by death. The accident was witnessed by Mrs. Amelia Faletti, Miss Oglio’s cousin, who, when she saw the girl run over, became hysterical and ran screaming from the scene of the accident. ‘WAITS FOR CAR. Miss Oglio and Mrs. Faletti had Jjust left the latter’s home at 613 Forty- sixth street and were waiting at the corner. for the south-bound car. ,As it approached Forty-sixth street they walked out {nto the middle of the street between the tracks. The street at this point had been plowed up for grading, making it impossible to board a car except from between the tracks. As the women. reached. the center of the street both noticed that the north- bound car was standing at' the corner of Forty-fifth street, but as it was not in motion and the other car was rapid- ly approaching, Miss Oglio said she would have time to board it before the other reached them. Both turned their attention to the southbound car, not noticing that the other had started. Mrs. Faletti a mo- ment later glanced over her shoulder and saw car No. 156 within a few feet of herself and her cousin. Screaming a warning to her companion, she sprang out of the way, just escaping the for- ward end of the car. Miss Oglio, in- tent upon the southbound car, failed to hear her cousin’s warning, and a second, later the car struck her. She was thrown down and both wheels of the forward truck passed over her limbs. The girl was dragged nearly 200 feet before Haladay could bring the car to a standstill. . DIES AT SANITARIUM. As soon ds her mangled form was re- leased Miss Oglio was placed on board the southbound car and taken to the East Bay Sanatorium, where she died at 8:45 o’clock on the operating table. Mrs. Faletti gave the following ac- count of the accident: “We were wait- ing for the car to Oakland and had gone . up between the tracks, where Stella could get on. Both of us saw the other car, but did not think it would start before Stella’s car reached us. We were watching the car when I happened tc look around and saw the headlight on the car within a few feet of us. I got out.of the way, but Stella was struck.” 7 Don Cecil was conductor of the car. Haladay was arrested and charged with manslaughter. o John Ferrin, the traction company’s private detectiye, defled the police to- night by ordering Haladay not to make a statement when request was made: by Captain of Police W. J. Pet- erson. The result was that Haladay wase sent to jail instead of being at once released on his own recogniz- ance. General' Superintendent J. P. Potter later rectified Ferrin's blunder by directings th: motorman to give the police the information. MOTORMAN’'S STORY. Haladay said: “The girl crossed over from the north side of Shattuck avenue to stop a southbound car. I saw her in the middle of the track when the car was about ten feet from her. I re- ; versed the current and jammed on the | brakes, but it was too late to save her. The body went under the front trucks.” Miss Oglio was a native of Italy. She leaves a mother. She was a member of the Ladies’, Auxiliary of thé American Order of Foresters. 6ok —_———— ~ McNamara Vindicated.

TO MAKE HARD FIGHT OAKLAND, Oct. 28.—Declaring that he has beem cast off by his wife, who he alleges has property to the value of $50,000, David McMahon of Berkeley, through his guardian, Edward Dougery of 2330 Derby street, has begun an ac- tion for support against Sarah H. Smith-McMahon, who is making her home at Whapinger Falls, N. Y. An attachment was levied this aftermoon on property at Twenty-fifth street and Broadway in order to collect the $150 a month maintenance and $2000 back money now alleged to be due. McMahon is 76 years of age and para- lyzed. A few years ago he married Mrs. Smith, who is ten years his junior. For some time the old couple lived amicably together and McMahon made himself generally useful in taking care of an old horse and buggy in which his wife went about and in pottering about the grounds of their garden. Then came a paralytic stroke and the old man lost his usefulness and became a charge. Sick of her bargain, Mrs. McMahon had no further use for the old man and abandoned him, so he asserts. McMahon has been given a home by Edward Dougery, who has been ap- bringing the present action, and it is stated that the suit is to be actively prosecuted with the intention of mak- ing the wife provide for the comfort of her aged spouse. McMahon, it is also stated, had some property of his own at the time of his marriage, but it was l:wallowed up in that of his wife, and he is now In control of all of it. -—_ VISITOR RAPS BELOVED SPORT Football Scored by One of University’s Guests at Students’ Meeting Berkeley Office San Francisco Call, 2148 Center Street, Oct. 28. Football, the sport apparently most dear to university. men, received its second hard rap of the week to-day when William Greer Harrison, presi- dent of the Olympic Athletic Club of San Francisco, at the university meet- ing in Harmon gymnasium, character- ized the game as only a “head-on col- lision,” In which the weaker team is crushed. He declared that the game as played at present is lacking"m chiv- alrous features and is unworthy of a great university. The speaker's re- marks, following as they did the dia- tribe against the sport delivered early in the week by Professor George Howi- son, head of the department of phil- osophy, stirred the football enthusiasts to rebellious disclaimers, after the uni- versity meeting had been dismissed, and on campus and in hall President Harrison’s fulmination against the gridiron game was the subject of acid- ulous comment. President Harrison, in his address, referred to the university’s alleged fail- ure to win success on the water, say- ing:, - ‘Why have you not won success on the water? Why have you made your greatest suc- cesses on track and fleld? - Because you have given more time—too much time—to the least desirable college sport. Football is a grand game, but ‘not as you play it, since in the form ‘you play It it is not a chivalrous sport. Modern footbali, as distinguished from the old, original game is merely a head-on colli- sioh, . In which . the least weight goes down, crushed. You work there too little with your brains and altogether too much with your mus- cles. Put the spirit of chivalry first. I have listened in your football games for a cheer for the defeated team, but generally it has been a case of ‘‘thumbs down.” I ask you, as president of a great athletic club, to take up fortball seriously and make of football a game worthy of your great university, a game gov- erned by the high ideals and the noble laws ‘which governed the tourneys of knights of old. Rev. Bradford Leavitt, pastor of the First Unitarian Church of San Fran- cisco, also addressed the university, his subject being, ‘“What All the World's &-Seeking.” He urged the cultivation cf body, mind and spirit, as aids to securing happiness. Physical hap- piness, he said, is dependent on exer- cise and right living. Mental happiness is dependent on use of the mind to form independent conclusions. Spirit- ual happiness depends on reconciliation to God, or harmony with the power that rules the universe. . —————————— 'OTERS HEAR HAYES SPEAK.

Fred Landers, the young light- weight who has been fighting in and about this city with some success, added another scalp to his belt last night when he beat Jack Burke in five rounds at Sausalito. The mill was the main event of a benefit for the fire department of that city and drew out a large attendance. All the fights were fast ones and the programme was rushed through in jig time. Landers commenced to get to Burke in the third round. He shot out a straight left and sent the latter to the carpet. This weakened Burke, though he was game and came right back for ore. He rallied somewhat in the next round and gave Landers a good time. In the fifth it was curtains. Landers kept slamming them in with both hands and Burke began to get foggy. After he went down three times Referee Billy Roche wisely stopped tHe go. Frank McGrath, an aspiring welter from Marin County, lasted only two rounds with Joe Gorman of this city. McGrathe received a hard left in the jaw during the second, going to the .carpet, where he wisely remained. The Saginaw Kid and Louis Burns went six fast rounds to a draw. Burns was too shifty for the Kid in the early rounds and was winning nicely. inaw began to get fast in the last two periods and had his man about ready to quit when the gong sounded. Frank Moredia, a feather from Sau- salito, made Andy Peterson quit in three gounds full of fast work. Kid Sprague’s seconds threw up the towel in the third round of the latter’s go with Tanglefoot McGovern, and Jim Lowney and Patsy McGee fought four rounds to a draw. ————— San Franciscan Is President, ST.
