Despite the flood of lampoons, wit- ticisiag, cartoons and gibes hurled a Captain Nance by the wits of the col- lege university in the Pelican, which made its appearance on the campus to day. the military instructor was imper- turbable and silent. Groups of students on the campus read the periodical, which made its ap- pearance to-da; and in house and college hall the Pelican was almost the sole topic of talk. The au- thorship if the verses is not known, it being tne paper’s policy to protect its contributors by making all communi cations anonymous.

El- 'oy of the Board of Police and Fire Commissioners that it was McElroy’s | opinion that compiaints on “informa- tion and beliet” could be sworn to against former Sergeant Charles E. Clark and Patrolmen C. W. Hamer- ton, J. F. hl and L. E. Andrew: who were dismissed from the police force for pilfering from merchants’ shops while on duty. The effect of this notice is to advise Chief Hodgkins that any person with sufficient knowledge may make oath to the accusations of burglary. itefore a decision is reached as to who shall swear to the complaints there will be a conference between FPresidert McElroy. and Chief Hodg- kins. - After many witnesses were heard the case of Policeman J. F. Rill was sub- mitted. A number of witnesses testi- fied. Chief Engineer Ball of the Fire Department swore that he saw Sill carrying a bundle on the street which looked like a side of bacon. Firemen M. Quigley and Frank Baker said Dun- lap had not mentioned the subject to them nntil after publicati of the charges. J. P. \ llams, formerly an engineer at Becker's market, said that Sill had frequently reported to him that the market doors had been left unlocked. Capiains of Police W. J. Petersen and A. Wilson declared Sill's record wae that of an honorable police- man. Charges were filed against Patrol- man McKeegan, who is accused by J. M. Breen, a saloon-keeper, with mak- ing an unwarranted arrest. ———— ROBERT J. BURDETTE TALKS ABOUT “RAINBOW CHASERS” Pleads Eloquently for the Exaltation of the Iaeal in Modern Life. Robert J.

Any one familiar with the newspaper fleld in Oakland can not have fatled to be impressed with the remarkable in- crease of advertising of the leading busi- ness' houses, as well as the excellent quality of the advertisements themselves, This growth has not been of the mush- room variety, but largely the result of patient and persistent effort on the nart of one man, Mr. Stuart W. Booth. Mr. Booth is one of the most conserva- tive optimists of Oakland to-day. For several years he devoted his energies and intelli~ence t d raising the stand- ard of advertising in that locality. It is refreshing to talk with Mr. Booth: ha never knows anything but what is for the welfare and upbuilding of his community Boys. If we send any notice please follow in- structions. Mrs. Steadman followed her son and made a remarkable demonstration of | sympathy for Kiniry. | As she ieft the witness-stand, Kiniry | said to her: | “I am sorry for all of the inconveni- ence I put you to.” am very sorry it happened,” re- plied Mrs. Steadman. “I can't say anything against you—" “Stop! that will do, madam,” stern- ly ordered Judge Samuels. Captain of Police W. J. Petersen tes- tified to the finding of a loaded revol- ver mnear Goldstein’s body. The weapon showed no evidence of having been recently discharged. Poiicemen Flynn, Moore and Bran- nan furnished connecting items of evi- dence. H. R. Buswell, assistant secre- tary of the Young Men's Christian As- sociation, identified an application for membership card Kiniry had deposited with him. “Any chance of my getting back my apolication fee of $10?"" asked Kiniry. “There may be,” replied Buswell. “I wish you would look up that mat- ter,” urged Kiniry. Maury Miller, a boy, neighbor of the Steadmans, saw Kiniry and Goldstein departing from the Steadman place the night Smith was murdered. Detective George Kyte identified a pistol, box of cartridges, black silk muffler in- itialed “E. J. B.” loose cartridges, writing paper and William Bannan's cuff-buttons as having * been found among the pair's effects at the Stead- man house. The hearing will be con- cluded to-morrow —————— CHARGE TERGENCY HOSPITAL DOCTORS WITH CARELESSNESS In Cases of James Welch and Wil- liam Feely Records Show Cor- rect Diagnosis. Although the records of the Central Emergency Hospital show that John Welch was treated there on December 5 for a fracture of the femur and sub- sequently died from the effects of the | shock to his system, a Coroner's Jury yesterday returned a verdict in the case censuring the Emergency Hos- pital surgeons for ‘“failing to give the patient a thorough examination.” The verdict added, “But we regard ; death as purely accidental. Welch was 70 years of age. He fell down a light well on the date mentioned and was sent to the hos- | pital for treatment. ! and its people. Publicity in all destrahle forms is his creed, no matter whether it be the exploiting of a retail firm, the preparation of polit piling of articles setting forth all that is g00d in Oakland—it makes no difference what it is. the best and brightest side, which is always the safest, appeals only to him, and through him fo the tens of thousands of others who daily, though without knowing it, are influenced by his work in the local newspapers. MR. BOOTH'S ABILITY. The ability of Mr. Booth in this direc« tion was first detected by that shrewd and successful man, Mr. John A, Britton, and for several years the pub- licity department of the Oakland Gas, Light and Heat Company has been man- aged by Stuart W. Booth. All the intei- ligent and productive work, whether newspaper advertising or through stors magazines, which bears the Imprint of the H. C. Capwell Company, has been the individual work of Stuart W. Booth. Mr. Booth's ability since that time te handle advertising successfully in all its aspects—compiling, writing, displaying, illustrating—has been recognized by every merchant in Oakland. 0 great is the confidence placed in his judgment and in his integrity that many mer- chants outside of his list do not hesitate for a moment to consalt him on matters of business, knowing full well that what- ever Mr. Booth says in regard to pube licity will be reliabie and practical. LEGITIMATE ADVERTISING. The legitimate newspaper is the proper thing to advertise in, Mr. Booth believes, and the success which he has met with in this regard justifies his belief. His experience has been very wide, and he is as familiar with London, Calcutta and Pitcairn Island as he is with San Francisco Bay. For a dozen years of his life he was an officer in the British mer- chant marine. and his extensive travels have proved of inestimable value in his career of publicity. For a long time he was engaged in newspaper work, but has abandoned that in order to give his en- tire time to the business of his publicity bureau, located in a suite of rooms at No. 957 Broadway. DESERVEDLY POPULAR. Two important positions are held by Mr. Booth. He is'a director of the Oak- land Board of Trade and is chairman of > publicity committee of that organi- zation. His popularity in his home dis- trict, Bast Oakland, is attested by the fact that he is now. for the second term, president of that flourishin civie reli- gious organization. the Men's Sunday Club of East Oakiand —_—— ORIGINAL PLANS WILL s TAND.

His relatives claim that | his case was incorrectly diagnoseq by ! the Emergency Hospital surgeons. : The records, however, show s Hill correctly diagnosed his case and | treated him accordingly. Feely had been drinking and it was also neces- sary to treat him for alcoholism. ————— DECLARES HE WAS ROBBED BY TWO CARD SWINDLERS Warrants were sworn out yesterday for the arrest of Harry Walters and | Joe Furey on a charge of robbing J.} C. Tarrant of 24 Tiffany avenue of | $451 in a card game. The date of the | alleged criminal transaction is given | as September 13, 1903. Tarrant's ex- crse for not making the complaint sooner is that he had been absent in the East since that time. ‘When the warrants were placed in the hands of the Detective Depart- ment it was ascertained that Furey had been shot and killed in Boston a short time 2go. A quarrel in a poker geme caused his death. Walters can- nct be found and Detective Bailey has | been ordered to rnrch the city xor‘l him that Dr. ; oy any eventuallity, rno decision has yet been arrived at regarding sending them to the Far East. The battleship Sylva, the only modern battleship, will not be completed befcre early in the spring. The statement is made that even if very <hip of the Port Arthur squadron is destroyed, it will have no effect on « Rojestvensky’s plans, which never con- templated assistance from the Port Ar- thur squadron. The reports of the sink- ing of a number of Russian ships, of whith the Admiralty has ne confirma- tion, however, caused a feeling of ex- treme sadness in high naval circles, where the plans of Rear Admiral Wir- en. the commander of the Port Arthur squadron, were known. It seems in- credible that when it became apparent the ships were undegfire of the Jap- anese guns that the® were not taken out and sunk in deep water, where they would be beyond the pcssibility of salvage. The only way in which the officials here can account for the fall- ure to do so is that Admiral Wiren was confronted by conditions of which the Admiralty is in isnorance.
