Friedlander, Lead- ing Jewish Divine of Oak- land,on Great Christian Day e Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1016 Broadway, Dec. 25. The ideas of a Jewish rabbi upen Christmas at Christmas time. Years ago this would have seemed an impos- sibility, but Rabbi M. Friedlander of the First Hebrew Congregation of Oak- land has eome boldly forward and re- corded his opinions in an articie that has just been given to the public. The Rabbi has treated Christmas from the point of view of his religion, and he has treated it fearles: and as he sees it. These ideas, as written and pre- pared by the rabbi himself, are of in- terest, and among the points he brings out are the following: ‘Whetber Christmas is the birthday of Jesus of Nazareth, as is believed by orthedox chur Sturnalia taken up and embellished with ad- the eplebration of the day as a festival of good cheer and socal enjoyment. People of all faiths, and of no faith, equally join in the merry ob- servance of the day' in giving and receiving presents.

Wife Slayer Energetically Protests Against Prophe- cies From Hindoo Jailmate PRPENSAS S { | Oakland Office San Francisco Call 1016 Broadway, Dec. 25. ¢ Half a riot was caused to-day in the Grand Jury corridor of the Coun- ty Jail when Lemuel D. Campbell, awaiting trial on a charge of murder- ing his wife, Laura Campbell, tongue- lashed Ramina Aramancha Singh, self-siyled Prince of India, a fellow prisoner who had been giving pub- licity to strange dreams which, he as- sertéd, he had experienced and in which Campbell had figured as the victim of the law's severest punish- ment. sSume of Campbell’s friends told the prisoner that Singh had announced he saw in visions the accused wife- slayer headed for the Styx. Camp- bell did not enjoy the prophecy. In fact, he demonstrated his wrath so ve- hemently that Jailer Harry Clark was called to quell the disturbance in the corner occupied by the pair. “1 give you notice now,” declared Campbell, addressing his dusky jail- mate, “that I'll beat your head off if you send out any more stuff like that.” The threat was enough to give and the “prince” transferred his confidences to David Kiniry, who is also held en a murder charge. Singh’s tales about trance manifes- tations of gibbets, ghastly skeletons, eerie ghosts and such like uncanny figure were heralded as an evidence of the dark-hued prisoner’s metaphys- ical endowments. Out of the realm of the shades this devetee of the oc- cult pretended to have drawn a hore- He painted in a conglomeration of words a pic- ture of awful disaster. It was a - podge of grewsome prophecy. All of this, Singh averred, rtend- ed the death of Campbell. Naturally the Hindoo's utterances were. not soothing and Campbell took offense and strenuously objected to his fate thus foretold. After the ex- plosion, Singh decided to try his luck with Kiniry. The results were better. The pair got together on a commercial . For valuable consideration, coin in amount not mehtioned, Kiniry agreed to sell and deliver to Singh such of his personal effects as Kiniry feels he will not need again. These consist of weaiing apparel, silver- ware and trinkets, Two weeks hence Singh will be re- leased, after serving a sentence of six menths’ imprisonment for thieving. The jailers suspect he has some scheme in mind by which to realize handsomely upon Kiniry’s possessions. of But they are not in the confidence the “prince.” Singh’s Christmas to-day | preached this morning on “The Three | Wise Men."” FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, DECEMBER 26, 1904.

In all of the evangelical churches the services, morning and evening, were elaborate in their musical num- bers. Choirs were increased and- or- chestras were added to swell the har- monious rendition of hymns to the Christ child.

Oakland Lodge No. 171 of Elks compieted its annual output of Christ- mas boxes, leaving a generous holiday dinner complement with 465 families. In each Christmas package was a roast of beef, sack of beans with bread, but- ter, mush, onions, potatoes, oranges, apples, tea, coffee, salt, pepper, nuts, candy, extracts, p, rice_and sugar.

Andrew Anderson, the vicious ap- longshoreman, morning by Sherry, who found an ugly loaded pis- | tol and a mask of black cloth on his | prisoner, has become the object of no | little solicitude on the part of the Po- | lice Department. Though the detectives do not put much faith in their ability to connect { Anderson with the murder of Police- man George W. Brown they are sat- | | isfleq that their prisoner is a danger- | ous man equal to such a ¢rime, | Anderson has been given a close ex- amination. He has denied that he killed Brown, but his denials are cou- pled with admissions that he was ready to use his pistol in any murder- ous way that would gain him chance to get away after committing a crime. | Anderson has also told the police bery. In fact he has very strongly impressed his questioners with the {fact that he was desperate and | despondent enough to stop at nothing. Detectives have been trying to find told the police he had some personal effects stored at a friend's residence and there he had stayed for a whil { But he will not tell the authoritie: i where his abode has been in San Francisco. Chief of Police Hodgkins has not | been able to find explanation for An- derson’s significant remark: “Well, | we got one of you fellows the other night, any way,” said to Patrolman Sherry when he arrested the man. That assertion applied to Brown's murder, the detectives think, but they cannot connect their prisoner. Young Hersey, who was robbed shortly be- fore the Kkilling of Brown, will be asked to look at Anderson to-morrow, as will others who were victims of footpads the week of the policeman’s death. Hodgkins said to-day he had no hope that Anderson could be iden- tified as the robber. “Nevertheless,” said the chief, “this man is in such a desperate frame of mind that he would stop at nothing. He is a murderer at heart and has said so. I do not feel to-day that he can be held as a highwayman unless he should be wanted in San Francisco or in some other city. We shall see that he is sent to jail for the limit on the charge of carrying a concealed weapon. Meanwhile every effort will be made to trace Anderson’s move- ments for some time past. oy 1>t WELL KNOWN IN SAN JOSE. Anderson Has a Police Record There for Minor Offenses. SAN JOSE, Dec. 25.—Andrew An- derson, who has been arrested on sus- picion of having knowledge of the murder of Policeman Brown in Oak- land, is well known in this city, where he made periodical visits for the last three or four years. He has been ar- rested here for minor offenses, such as drunkefiness and disturbing the peace. Anderson is known by Policeman Black and other members 6f the lo- cal force, who saw him here the last time about three weeks ago. He has been suspectéd of being implicated in holdups here, but there was never any proof against him. Sometimes he went under the name of Sharkey. He worked about gardens and was em- ployed when last here by Mrs. Carrie Stevens Waltér, a well-known literary woman. Anderson claimed to be a landscape gardener as well as a long- shoreman. When absent from here he always claimed to be working upon the water front in San Francisco. ¢ —— HABITS OF FISH MAY BE STUDIED AT FAIR Shallow Waters of Portland Exposi- tion Lake Will Contain 125,000 Electric Lights.

The real estate market has been quiet during the week. Few large transac- tions have been recorded. Oakland, Berkeley and Alameda dealers report a greater volume of what is known as small business than ever before during | the' week preceding the Christmas holi- days. One of the most important transac- | tions of the week was the purchase by | G. H. and Charles F. Lee of a tract of | eighty-three acres in Fruitvale, fromt- ing on High street at its intersection with the new scenic boulevard. This is | the last large tract of land in Fruitvale, and the purchasers will at once subdi- vide it into residence lots. These lots will front on two of the most impor- tant streets of the district, and are within easy walking distance of the car lines. | The Paraffine Paint Company of Em- | eryville is contemplating the addition to their present factory of a $100,000 | plant for the manufacture of paraffine paper. In order to get the space neces- sary for the new buildings and ware- houses the company has asked the | Town Trustees for permission to close | Second street. At the last meeting of the Trustees the matter was discussed and it is likely that the request of the | company will be granted The Town Trustees of Emeryville have ordered much street work done. Bids will be received until January 21 and opened on January 23. The total cost will be nearly $15,000. The Upland Improvement Club is the |latest civic organization formed in Berkeley. It was organized by resi- dents of East Berkeley, and Edward S. Fowler of Fitzgerald, Campbell & Fowler, attorneys, of San Francisco was elected president. Deputy United States Marshal A. L. Farish was chosen secretary. Real estate men are well satisfled with the business record of 1904 and expect an increase in the sales of all kinds of property during 1905. Hol- comb, Breed & Bancroft report a steady demand for residence property, both improved and unimproved, and many inquiries for centrally located business property. They offer some choice residence sites close to the business district. W. J. Laymance of the Laymance Real Estate Company believes the present lull in the market will be fol- lowed by a large increase in a1l His company has just opened a large tract in Pledmont and is selling many villa sites in that district.
