K. Krauth’s plan for the disbanding of the | three remaining volunteer hose compa- nies of the fire department and their | reorganization upon a paid basis will | come before the City Trustees to-mor-| row night for action. It is recommend- | ed by the Chief that the hose compa- nies, which now consist of fifteen or| more men and which are allowed $35 a month by the city, hereafter consist of | four men, one to be designated as fore- | man. Each foreman will be allowed $6 | for responding to alarms within his | district and $3 for responding to alarms without his district. The men of the companies will be paid $5 each for re- sponding to alarms within their dis- outside alarms. Nothing will be al- lowed for responding to false alarms. Chief Krauth also suggests that the two present district engineers be abol- ished and that the foreman of one of the hose companies stationed east of Grand street be authorized to act as assistant engineer when necessary, and the foreman of one of the compa- nies located west of Grand street be| similarly empowered. | Chief Krauth's plan of reorganization provides for a department of thirty-six | men, as follows: One chief engineer, | one engineer of steam fire engine, seven | drivers, three chemical extra men, six- | teen hosemen and eight truckmen. Because of the failure of the fire| alarm system to work properly the City | Trustees have taken that department out of the hands of the city electrician, and hereafter it will be looked after by Otto Leydecker, under the supervision of the Chief of the Fire Department. ———————— ' Reception to Republicans.

Two cases of death through carbon monoxide, each supposed to have been accidental, were reported to the Morgue officials yesterday morning. Martin Schneider, a widower 61 years of age, who lived with his son-in-law, R. D. Logan, at 2936 Steiner street, was found dead in bed by his daughter shortly before 7 o'clock. The gas jet was partly turned on. He had been suffering from heart disease and Dr. Magnus had been attending him. A small table on which his medicine bot- tles were placed was always beside his bed. It is supposed he was seized with a fainting spell and had intended to light the gas to take his medicine, and after partly turning it on had col- lapsed. The other case was that of Frank, Mahler. On Saturdey night he at- tended a ball at the Verein Eintracht Hall on Twelfth street and it was said drank freely. Yesterday morning his landlady, Mrs. Carrie Thomas, 40815 Natoma street, smelled gas coming from his room.

Emil Bo- zizinski, a deck boy on the steamer Charles Nelson, was arrested by Po- liceman Barnett and booked at the City Prison on a charge of robbery. Sullivan met the trio on Sacramento street between Battery and Sansome, and asked them to direct him to the What Cheer House.

T. Nance, military instructor, requiring them to march in classroom, ag something less than an practically ignoring the riot on the campus attending the order, is now called upon by the Occident Magazine, the conservative and in- fluential student publication of the university, to make a move In the affair, even at this late day, in order to preserve senior class control. The riot in question, when Professor Setchell was pelted with clods of, grass and mud while trying to quell it, stirred the college, the town and many parts of the State, but Professor ‘Wheeler apparently deemed it best to ignore the affair. He will be informed to-morrow in an Occident editorial dealing exhaus- tively with the matter that if “senior control,” supposed to be a favorite measure of the university president, is to endure, then the president must in- terpose and checkmate the obnoxious order issued by the military instructor. To-morrow the university magazine will say in its leading editorial: If Captain Nance desires our friendship, as he says, he must use different methods. If see a united and self-governing student body, he must u: schoolboy fashion into his| ‘Discusses Recent Riot Among University Men his influence. We believe neither the students to be wholly right nor the military depart- ment. But each should gladly give in to re- store amicable relations. There must be a ! right way. The present way is certainly a Wrong way. Last Wednesday an order was enforced to make the senjors in military 2A form in sec- tions with monitors, outside North Hall, and march double file to their classroom. All that was needed to supply the general kindergarten effect was a teacher to tap a bell, and for this some wag substituted a youngster. The whole affair appealed to the college as so ridiculous that the carrying out of the order could mot be taken serfously. No one need ever hope to seq the order taken seriously. It the order had merely been taken as the huge joke it is, no one could object, If there bad been nothing beyond harmless joshing of the seniors so formed in line and no interfer- ence with the continuance of a recitation, the results of the affair would have done no in- jury bexond a decided blow at senior control, Which President Wheeler and Professor Cory, in the light of past statements, must consider as most gravely hurtful. But this was not all that happened. Many lower classmen lost control of themselves, acted as rowdies and proved that we have among us not a few cow- ards who lurk In obscurity on the outskirts of a crowd to jeer and sling mud with a coward's bravery, As to the evil of the order, it means the death of senior control, since that move- ment depends wholly upon the dignity of the senfor men and herein the seniors are heid up to the gibes of those they are to guide. It means that military 2A will create a spirit of antagonism between instructor and student, which is bound to exist, belleving as we do that the present action is justified. It means that Captain Nance, whether he {ssued the order himself or followed dictates from Washington, will be disliked by college men and that the military department will not re- ceive student support. aoiteeniGas L e L e NARROW ESCAPE | TWO ATTEMPTS 0F POLITICIAN Ex-Congressman Kanouse Close to Death’s Door From Inhaling Illuminating Gas Spectal Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, Nov. 6.—Theodore D. Kanouse, former Congressman and two years ago Prohibition candidate for Governor, narrowly escaped death by asphyxiation to-day at his home in| this city and is still in a serious condi- tion as a result of his experience. His bathroom is equipped with an in- stantaneous gas heater and while Ka- nouse was taking a bath he did not notice that the gas was escaping. The room had been tightly closed and be- fore he realized his danger Kanouse was overcome by the deadly monoxide. His long stay in the bathroom alarm- ed his daughter and, summoning as- sistance, she broke open the door and found her father unconsclous upon the floor. Physicians were hurriedly summoned and after several hours’ hard work they succeeded in restoring the patient to semi-consciousness, but were unable to fully revive him. He is more than 60 years of age and | it is feared that the gas fumes have poisoned him to a degree that makes his condition serious. Kanouse is known to the world as the former chief | officer of the International Order of Good Templars. —_—_ - DISPLATS CASH AND DISAPPEARS San Jose Police Fear Miss- ing Prussian, Army Officer Is a Vietim of Foul Play Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, Nov. 6.—Captain Paul Ruebsamen, a retired Prussian army officer, has mysteriously disappeared from the Bristol Hotel, and it is feared he has met with foul play. He was last seen on Monday, October 31. Ruebsamen came to the hotel on Oe- tober 26, and registered from San Francisco. While at the hotel at dif- ferent times he exhibited several hun- dred dollars in gold and bills. The missing man hadtbeen drinking heavily about the time of his disappearance. On the night of October 31 he was seen in the hall of the hotel, but his bed had not been occupied. The room bore evidences of a hasty departure, wear- ing apparel being scattered about the place. His valise was there and on a chiffonier was some small change and several valuable pieces of jewelry. Dr. A. de Marcomy, Wwho treated Ruebsamen, says the missing man was from Stettin, Prussia, and had been a captain in” the Sixty-First Prussian Infantry Regiment. He was about 50 years of age and in receipt of a pen- sion. Before coming here it is said that Ruebsamen received a large sum of money from an estate. The police are trying to solve the mystery. — Aged Confederate General Dead.

The men escaped. The men boarded the train at Balti- more. As the train approached the long bridge at Havre de Grace, a white man pierced an opening in the front door of the express car, and thrusting a revolver through the opening ordered Messenger Carter to let him in. The messenger replied by firing his revolver and pulling the signal cord. When the train came to a stop, Con- ductor Sibley ran forward to the engine and there found a colored man in the tender with a revolver in hand. He ordered the man down. At first he refused, but after a short argument he left the tender. Going back to the ex- press car, he was told by the mes- senger what had happened. The white man in the meantime had disappeared. The train resumed {its journey and when it reached Perryville on the fur- ther side of the bridge, two men again appeared, one on the tender and the other on the front platform of the ex- press car. The train was again stop- ped, but before the two men could be captured they disappeared in the dark- ness. ——— MORTON WANTS THE NAVY SECOND ONLY TO ENGLAND’S ‘Would Build It to Proportions Where It Will Act as Guarantee of Peace. CALL BUREAU, HOTEL BARTON, WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.—Secretary Morton does not belleve the United States navy should be the largest in the world, but does believe that ship for ship it should be as good as any other and be second only to that of England in size. He says: The Democrats claim that our army is too large. This they call militarism. They say nothing whatever in their platform about the navy, although the committee on resolutions at the St. Louls convention was in favor of reporting for a liberal annual increase for the navy, but this plank was stricken out of the platform at the suggestion of Senator Tillman for the very statesmanlike reason given by him that the “navy had no votes.”’ I believe that ship for ship we should have as a navy as any other nation in the world. It is not necessary for us to have as large a navy as England has, but I stand for a navy second to that of England. I believe in a navy of such fighting force that it will discourage any other nation from wanting to have an engagement with us. 1 believe in a navy so formidable that it will preserve the peace and in one so well prepared at all times for war that war will never come. DETROIT, Nov. 6.—Michigan Iis conceded on every hand to Roosevelt, with both the Republican and Demo- cratic candidates for Governor hope- ful of success.

MARKET QUIET Approaching _ : Election Causes Lull in the Real Estate Business| b e FEW BIG TRANSACTION Prospective Purchasers Show an Inclination to Await Close of the Campaign —_— ke I Oakland Office San Francisco Call, | 1016 Broadway, Nov. 6. | With the exception of what dealers term small business, such as the sale of the cheaper residence properties and) the usual renting business, there has been little activity in the local real es- tate market during the week, the ap- proaching Presidential election having caused a lull in larger transactions. Several real estate men report large transactions pending, which will not be completed until after the election. The influence of the politieal campaign on the realty market has not been feit to any extent in building circles, and con- struction work has been begun recent- ly on several new buildings, notably a | large apartment house at Nineteenth | and Franklin streets and another at San Pablo avenue and Nineteenth street. The construction of houses and cottages in all parts of the city con- tinues with unabated activity, and while nearly all the contractors are hastening their work as much as possi- ble before the steady rains set in, many have begun the erection of small houses within the week. These houses are being built for new- comers to Oakland, who have been un- able to find suitable houses for rent and have decided to purchase property and build at once rather than spend the winter in hotels or apartment houses. There are practically no houses to be had in desirable locations at less than $35 a month. Those that rent for $15 to $25 In most cases are at a considerable distance from street car and railway lines. Much land has re- cently been purchased by speculators, who intend to build homes for the pur- pose of selling or renting. Plans have just been completed for a large three-story apartment house at Telegraph avenue and Twentieth street on the property owned by Dr. W. D. Huntington. The excavating for the foundation will begin as soon as the rainy season ends. The new building will be erected by a corporation of which Dr. Huntington is one of the members. Representatives of Oakland real es- tate firms have recently been making inquiries from the railway companies as to the number of visitors expected in California during the coming winter, | as indicated by the inquiry for and | sale of tickets in the East. It has been | learned that the passenger depart- | ments expect heavier traffic during the | winter than ever before. Real estate dealers expect that many of these vis- itors will decide to locate permanently in California, and- no doubt a large number of the newcomers will choose Oakland as the place in which to es- tablish homes, both on account of its | natural advantages, climatic and | otherwise, and also on account of its proximity to San Francisco, the busi- ness center of the State. Real estate dealers generally expect that business will increase immediately after election. E. P. Vandercook, pres- ident of the E. P. Vandercook Com- pany, in discussing the present condi- tion of the market sald: ‘There is little doubt that the campaign has caused a marked Iull in the real estate market. ‘This will" probably continue until after next week. As soon as the Presidential question is settled 1 belleve the market will resume its wonted activity, and present conditions indi- cate that all kinds of property, both for busi- ness and residences, will find ready sale at ex- cellent prices. ring the last few months thers has been & considerable Increase In the demand for East Oakland property. That section, which has been practically dead for several years, has apparently begun to move again. I have at present several large transactions on hand, which 1 expect to close immediately after the election. E. J. Stewart of E. J. Stewart & Co. said: Our business has been confined for the last three weeks to sales of small residence proper- ties, but I think that after the result of the election is known business will at once pick up. Prospective purchasers of business property seem Inclined to walt until after the election before closing large deals and I now have one or two important transactions on hand which I will not be able to complete for & couple of weeks. 1 believe, however, that the coming winter ‘will see more and larger deals in Oakland real estate than have ever before been xnown In this city. C. Z. Reed, formerly a well-known real estate dealer of Minneapolis, Minn., has just bought out the firm of Bhoeam & Campbell, whose place of business was at 468 Eleventh street. Mr. Reed will occupy the same offices. BERKELEY, Nov. 6.—Joseph J.

We pro- pose to keep the Republican banner which we won two years ago by cast- ing the vote which made Pardee Gov- ernér.” This s the statement made to-day by Chairman Bradner W. Lee of the Republican County Central Committee. There is reason for the statement. For two years the Republican clubs of Los Angeles County have kept up active organization. Meetings were held at regular intervals and in a quiet but effective way some careful polit- | ical work has been done. A close watch has been kept and advantage taken of everything which would strengthen the Republican cause, and tne result of that work will be shown next Tuesday.

It is a singular whim of destiny that within a short time the Sacred Forbidden City of Peking and the more Sacred City of Thibet should both be exposed and invaded by the West, and it is even a more singular fact that this invasion of the holy places of Asia should take place just when an Asiatic power for the first time since Jan Sobleski defeated the forces at Vienna) should be holding its own against one of the greatest of the white nations. The spiritual signifi- cance of the invasion of Tibet is only to be realized when we remember that Buddhism is still the most numerously represented religion In the world, hav- ing five hundred milllon adherents, about a third of the wholé human race. And of these five hundred mil- lons, more than four-fifths look to Lassa with the same veneration that Roman Catholics feel for Rome, the same veneration and far more mys- tery. - The girl who eats onions is not to be mentioned in the same breath with the girl who doesn’t.
