Angelus Who Shot John Soares Back From Cruise on Warship Iowa OAKLAND, Nov. 5.—With the sav- ings of four years of 'work J. J. An- gelus, a sallor boy from the battleship Iowa, appeared at the County Record- | er’s office this morning with Attorney P. J. Crosby and lifted a mortgage off a strip of land he calls home near Cen- terville. The money was borrowed to employ attorneys to defend him against a charge of having killed old man John Soares in defense of his sister in 1900. Soares was 62 years of age and the father of a family. He lived not far | for Angelus and his two sisters. He | | tried to get Minnie Angelus to marry him. One day young Angelus told the old man his sister wanted to see him | and that evening when he called John | received his sister’s suitor dressed in | her clothes. In making a dying :tate- | {mem the old man said that it was! ->-— Minnie Angelus who shot him, but the boy confessed that it was he who did it. Soares said that he was shot as he was going in at the gate. He said that he recognized the masquerade and was about to leave when he was hit in the side with a bullet. The boy said that the old man was bothering his sister and would not desist. After a trial Angelus was acquitted and he enlisted in the ndvy and went aboard. the Towa. The money, how- ever, that had been borrowed on the home was soon to become due. A few days ago the lad’s term of enlistment was up and when he drew his pay he had saved enough to pay the debt of $250 with interest. He says that he will remain 2¢ home with his sisters until the longing for a life at sea moves him to re-enlist. x3 UNIVERSITY EVENTS BERKELEY, Nov. 5.—The Women's Mandolin and Guitar Club of the uni- versity is to provide the half hour of music in the Greek Theater on Sun- day afternoon.

The lads enjoyed all sorts of games and also the birthday feast, that was all that a boy's heart could desire. Prizes in the different game contests were awarded, the lucky ones being Dick McClure, Edward Martin, Donald McClure and James Barrett.

BERKELEY, Nov. 5.—Citizens of Berkeley have informdlly protested to officials of the Oakland Traction Com- pany against the use of closed cars on thes Telegraph-avenue line, which is the principal thoroughfare into Oak- Barrett, ! land. The cars probably will be trans- ferred to the San Pablo line in defer- ence to the protests, as men from the latter line are now being taught how to use the air brakes that are a fea- ture of the,closed cars. ‘Would Change Name of Avenue. ALAMEDA, Nov. 5.— Residents along Railroad avenue have inaugu- rated a vement to have the City Trufteeg change the name of Rail- road avenue to Lincoln avenue. The thoroughfare is known by the latter title east of Park street, and it is proposed to, have the avenue so des- ignated to’ its western extremity. The matter will be brought to the at- tention of the City Trustees next Monday night. IS A QUITTER Has Broken His Pledge LETTER EXPOSING HIM Supervisor John Mitchell Issues Reply to Slanders Concerning His Record Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1016 Broadway, Nov. 5. A. F. St. Sure, vice chairman, and L J. Muma, secretary of the Democratic | County Central Committee, have issued { an open letter in which they charge D. ‘W. Cronin, their party’s nominee for | Supervisor in the Fifth District, with | breaking the pledge he made when he was named as candidate for the place by withdrawing from the contest at the eleventh hour, when it was too late for the vacancy. St. Sure and Muma im- ply that Cronin’s retirement was the result of connivance with George Fitz- gerald, an independent aspirant to tHe office. Following is a portion of the letter: “In open convention Cronin gave his solemn pledge that he was in the fight to win; that he would not withdraw from the ticket, but would steadfastly continue as a candidate until election day, all in accordance with the ex- pressed wishes of the delegates com- posing said convention to the effect that Democrats should be nominated for of- fice whenever possible. Notwithstand- ing his pledge, said Cronin withdrew from the ticket at the last moment, when it was too late for the Democratic County Committee to fill the vacancy. The withdrawal of Cronin under the circumstances has given rise to all sorts of rumor, the most persistent of which is to the effect that said withdrawal of Cronin was the result of connivance with and in the interest of sald Fitz- gerald. “This letter is written for the pur- pose of advising the Democratic voters Cronin's conduct in the ‘wremises, that Democrat’s generally will know that the county committee is not a par- ty to any understanding between Fitz- gerald and Cronin or the friends of either, and to the end that the Demo- cratic voters of said Fifth Supervisorial District may draw their own conclu- sions from the facts herein set forth and cast their ballots on Nevember 8 as their consciences shall dictate.” John Mitchell, the Republican nomi- nee for re-election to the position of Supervisor of the Fifth District, has addressed a circular letter to his con- stituents, in which he replies to the anonymous literature that has been spread abroad attacking his political record. Mitchell affirms that the “cir- culars are a tissue of misrepresenta- tions where they are not downright falsehoods,” and that they emanated from one man, Stuart McMullan. Con- tinuing Mitchell asserts: “Stuart McMullan is the son-in-law of a candidate for Supervisor in the Fourth District in opposition to my colleague, H. D. Rowe. He is the same Stuart McMullan wkose claim for $20,- 000 for commissions on property he is alleged to have pointed out for assess- ment was unanimously rejected by the board, which claim he still hopes to collect. The present members of the Board of Supervisors are a bar to the collection of this preposterous claim. I invite candid examination of my of- ficial acts and am willing to abide the judgment of my fellow citizens who will take the trouble to ascertain.the facts, but I protest against being judged by the false and malicious state- ments circulated anonymously by a man whose grievance is that the board kept his unclean hands out of the treas- ury.” Marriage Licepses.

County Clerk John P. Cook has com- | pleted the work of sending out sample ballots to voters registered for the' Presidential and county election, and in | } addition to the ballots he has furnished | all possible information to facilitate the work of the election boards. Each voter has received from the County Clerk a | card on which is printed the number of the ward and precinct and the loca- | { tion of the polling place at which the | voter must cast his ballot. Voters are requested to take these cards with them to the polling places and to hand them | to the election officers at the time they | I record their names. I County Clerk Cook has also sent out printed circulars containing instructions to voters for their guidance in marking their ballots and extracts from the Po- litical Code relative to voting. A circu- lar, letter has been sent to each voter, notifying him that his name appeared | op the Great Register of Alameda | County and calling his attention to the inclosed instructions and card. As a final measure of precaution against mistakes by voters in marking | their ballots the County Clerk has is- sued the following general instructions: } “A straight ticket may be marked in | two ways, elther by stamping a cross | in the circle at the head of the party | ticket or by stamping a cross after the | name of each individual on the ticket. “In case a voter wishes to vote for one of the ten Republican Presidential Electors and one Democratic Elector he should vote for each of the ten indi-| vidual Electors by stamping a cro after the name of each of the nine Re- | publican Electors and one Democratic | Elector. Should he stamp a cross in | the circle at the head of the Republican | ticket and then stamp a cross after the name of one Democratic Elector, the ballot could only be counted for the single Democratic Elector, as the elec- | | tion officers would be unable to deter- mine from the ballot so marked which | of the Republican Electors the voter| intended to scratch. It would also be impossible to determine which Elector he had intended to vote for with the| exception of the Democrat after whose | name the cross was stamped. “Two crosses stamped after the same | of a nominee could not be considered as | a distinguishing mark, as the theory | and intent of the present law is that marks of identification can only lw‘ made with something other than the voting stamp. A ballot marked with two crosses afler the name of any nominee would not be void and would have to be counted as a vote for that candidate. “Should crosses be stamped after the names of two candidates for the same | office, where but one candidate was to | be elected, the ballot so marked could not be counted as a vote for either of | the candidates for that office, but oth- | erwise the ballot should be counted as marked. “Should a candidate be the nominee of two different parties and a cross be | stamped after his name in the circle of both parties tke bailot so marked should | | be counted as one vote for that candi- | date. “Should crosses be stamped in the | circles at the head of two different par- ty tickets the ballot so marked would be void.” ——e———— Inspect our new brick warchouse, ready to re- | celve household goods exclusively Nov. 1.

The hearing for a per- manent injunction will be heard on November 18. e Gambling Doesn't Pay. “Poker, even along the old lines of ‘a gentleman's game,”” writes O. Z. Newmeyer of Chicago, “never paid in the nature of the play. Just as soon as it might have paid just that soon it would have lost its claim to gentility. In the old gambling-house where rou- lette and faro paid their certain per-( centages ‘to the house’ only the unin- | itiated patron sought these places to ‘recoup his fortune. Gambling un- questionably does not pay. Even where the question is asked as to the profits of the bookmaker or the faro dealer the same statement holds good. ‘Basy money' is double winged. In mast cases the man who drops a dol- lar bill out of his pocket is luckier than the man who finds it. In the one case the loser may pinch and save in a dozen ways until he has made more than good his loss; on the other hand, the finder, flushed by his good fortune, may be tempted to | squander $5 in appreciation of his | j ‘luck.’” A few months ago one of the ! most noted gamblers in America went | ", through the bankruptcy courts with i his chief listed asset a pipe.

Projects in California | FIGHT FOR RECOGNITION Mission Building at Fair| Draws Only Silver Medal| to the Surprise of All] e LA e T H BY PAUL EDWARDS. | CALL BUREAU, PRESS BUILDING, | ST. LOUIS, Nov. 5—The recognition received by the Pacific Coast at the ses- | n of the Trans-Mississippl Congress | just closed was not obtained without | hard work on the part of actlve Cali- fornians here. The congress was forced to recognize the greatness of the Pa-| cific Coast and the imperativeness of its needs by such men as Frank J. Symmes, A. Sbarboro, General N. P. Chipman, A. G. Booth, Rufus P. Jennings, Fred | L. Koster, John G. Brady, H. D. Love-| land, J. A. Filcher, W. H. Wellbye, Ed | Fletcher and others, who succeeded after some struggle in securing the adoption of every Pacific Coast resolu- tion offered. The congress, composed of leading| men from every part of the West, is pledged to support these resolutions with its committee at Washington and to use every honorable means to have the Congress of the United States leg- islate the gsuggestions contained in them into actualities. There seemed to be an impression on the part of the members not from the coast that the only thing worthy of consideration wa¥ the Mississippi Val- | ley, and a desire was shown to bring| but two projects prominently to the front—that of deepening the Mississippi, maintaining its free navigability from St. Louis to Minneapolis and otherwise improving it, and that of improving the harbor at Galveston. The Californians scon saw that the delegates from east of the Pacific Coast wished to subor- | dinate everything else to these (wo( propositions, that they might be placed before the national Congress with more preminence. COAST IS HEARD FROM. When the coast men began putting in | their resolutions favoring added coast defenses at points along the whole line from the north end of Washington to the south end of California, the prose- cution of the improvement of Oakland and San Pedro harbors, the creation of | a Secretary of Mines, the further im- provement of the San Joaquin and Saec- | ramento rivers, the setting aside of a section of virgin forest on the Eel River as a park, the changing of the home- | stead laws applicable to Alaska so 320 | acres could be taken up there by each homesteader under certain conditions, | the making of a sectional survey of Alaska and the establishment of a| naval station at or near San Diego, the | other delegates listened in wonder. | They were being awakened to the fact that the Pacific Coast, with its great | metropolis by the Golden Gate and its other big city at the south, cut a big | national figure, and that the Missis- sippi Valley was not the only section on the map. SAN DIEGO GETS PLACE. “If this congress is to further the am- bitions of the Mi ippi Valley only,” was the cry of the Californians, “let it | be called the Mississippi Valley Con- ! gress, and the Pacific Coast will drop | out.” i The Pacific Coast stayed in, though, and it carried every demand agreed upon by its delegation. An effort was made on the floor of the congress by Delegate Fletcher to| have H. D. Wood, secretary of the San Diego Chamber of Commerce, indorsed ! by the congress as a special represen- | tative at Washington in the fight for the naval station. Judge Gresham of | Texas opposed this, saying that ¢he | committee of five sent by the Trans- Mississippi Congress to Washington would see to the furthering of all the | projects indorsed by the congress and that that body should not weaken its influence by scattering and standing behind sectional representatives. De- bate was cut off through an agree- ment that Wood should be a member | of the committee of five. San Diego is anxious to secure the naval station. San Francisco will sup- port the southern city. POSSIBILITIES OF ALASKA. Among the special addresses to the | congress was one on Alaska by Gov- ernor Brady. It proved of great in- terest to the delegates and will result in many of them looking more deeply into the possibilities of the immense peninsula. 4 “Governor Brady is here with his fruits and flowers and bananas,” aald; President Kerens facetiously, “and will tell you all about Alaska.” The Alaskan chief executive drew for his hearers a dream of empire that created some smiles then, but may be} prophetic.

Several protests have been filed with the Trustees against the carting of outside garbage through the local thoroughfares, ana the Board of Health, after investigating the mat- ter, adopted the following resolution, which has been transmitted to the City Trustees and which will be read at the meeting on Monday night: “Resolved, That the carting of Oak- land garbage through the public streets ef Alameda and the dumping of said garbage within the city’s limits is un- sanitary and a menace to the public health. “We therefore recommend that the carting of Oakland garbage through our pubiic streets and the dumping of Oakland garbage within the city’s lim- its be immediately stopped, inasmuch as the children of Bay Farm Island going to and from school, must daily travel through swarms and swarms of poisonous flies that infest the putrid dumps along the Bay Farm Island road, thereby endangering the chil- dren’s ‘health and the general health as well.” The City Trustees will be guided by the resolution of the Board of Health, and as the latter body has declared against the hauling of Oakland gar- tage into Alameda it is probable that the Trustees will revoke the local wagon licenses of nearly fifty Oak- land scavengers. —_———— Foresters’ Whist Tournament.

All that is necessary is to create a demand for American flour among the yellow hordes, he said. If each one of them consumed a half barrel of flour a year the result could easily be foreseen. He pictured Sitka as a great commercial city, driving a thriving trade with the Far East, and said the Government should pay attention to its harbor. “Here are some of our best ban- anas,” d Governor Brady, holding up sheaves of barley. From a market basket he took large specimens of vegetables and said there was a vast acreage in Alaska capable of produc- ing these and the cereals shown. SLOW JURY OF AWARDS. California exhibitors are chafing over the delay in issuing an official list of awards. There is nearly a month of the fair left and the exhibi- tors wish to hang banners over the prize winning articles to let the world know that the merits of these articles made them worthy of prizes. The awards were about to be officially an- nounced by the exposition offic without regard to the national cor mission, when that body mildly marked that it would like to know wha: was doing, as a matter of ¢~ur- tesy, if nothing else. It has had all the awards in its keeping for some me and has been very dilatory in the matter of giving them out final Most of the protests made by C re- li- fornia visitors will be heeded and sev- eral of the awards made will be raised, adding more gold medals to Califor- nia’s list. There will be no reduction as far as known, so all grand prizes and gold medals awarded to California will probably stand. The superior jury has arbitrarily awarded medals to some of the Stute buildings. The California commission was surprised to learn that its struc- ture had been given a siliver medal. A silver medal was given the magnifi- cent Missouri building.
