Mr. Mott to- night outlined his policy in a strong speech, in which he said: case was introduced. Deputy County | Surveyor P. A.

M. Cockerton. He left the police station that night with Policeman Smith, and together they went to Thirteenth and Jackson streets, where they separated. As he began the recital of his story the spectators #pecch of the campaign. I am more than ever imrressed with the serious responsibility that attaches to the position for which I am the nominec of the Republican party of Oakland. 1t is perhaps with pardonable pride that I re- call the days of my boyhood in this western end of the city, for here it was I got my start and here it wes, too, that I formed mgny of the strong friendships that have lasted until this day, when I appear aufong you as a candidate for Mayor of the city in which all of my life from infancy has been spent. There is a sentiment about this _situation ‘who have crowded the courtroom for | that appeals strongly to me and it adds to my v % appreciation ‘of the responsibility, because I two days began to fill the passage | R0W V0, will demand more of me than it 1 ways in order to obtain coigns of van- tage from which to view the proceed- ings. Judge Greene made an order to have all take seats. When Cockerton left Smith he went south on Jackson street from Thir- teenth, while Smith went in the oppo- site direction. He had reached Tenth street when he was startled by pistol shots. There were two in rapid suc- cession, then three more and in a few seconds two more. He saw the flashes of the last two shots and when he ran up to the corner he found Policeman Smith lying face down on the steps of the home of Charles E. Palmer at Fourteenth and Jackson streets. He was mortally wounded. Cockerton hur- ried up Jackson street to see if pos- gible which way the fleeing robbers went, and he stumbled over the form of Goldstein on the grass of a side- walk near Fifteenth street. He recounted how he explored the neighborhood and how he collected pis- @is and other evidence. There was nothing in his testimony, however, to connect Kiniry with his story. The next witness called was Dr. O. D. Hamlin. In his testimony the doc- tor told of the wounds received by the deceased and of his dving statement. The most important statément made and one that goes to the very root of the case was ‘“‘Smith said as I was talking to the two men one stepped back and fired, then I fired and I got one of them, but it was not the one I got that fired at me.” Kiniry’s hope of salvation lies in the fact that the prosecution will not be able to show that he fired the fatal shot and that he wili be able to show that Goldstein was the one who did it. The statement of Hamlin may place the accused man's head in the noose. An adjournment was taken until to- morrow morning.

The responsibility is greater, too, when I remember that I am a Republican. That meafs to be a follower of Theodore Roosevelt, end that means to be & lover of good government and clean politics. You might reverse the phrases and say clean litics and good government. But it would just the same. It is what every good eiti- zen wante. It Is what every citizen is get- ting from Theodore Roosevelt, and it is what every citizen will get from the Republican party just 5o long as the march behind that greatest of Presidents | the days of '61.

In every part of the city meetings are being held day and night. this afternoon’s meeting held under the auspices of the evangelist Henry Ostrom at the First Methodist Church. After his meeting was over he was approached by four blind girls from the Berkeley Blind Home, who asked him if he thought if they prayed hard enough that they could recover their sight. The earnest sincerity of the helpless girls touched those who heard the question and the great leader him- self was baffled for the moment. He, however, ingtanced the cases of Helen Keller and Fanny Crosby, the noted blind women song writers, and told them that though they were blind they could do God’'s work and he sent them away searching for light through faith. The first of the evening gatherings was an open-air meeting at Eleventh and Washington streets, presided over by J. H. McComb. This meeting ad- journed to the First Congregational Church and took part in the services being conducted by J. Wilbur Chap- man.

The jury evidently placed their own value upon the rings, which through an oversight thev had not been allowed to inspect, and esti- mated their worth at less than $100, the sum necessary to sustain the charge of grand larceny. Proctor has been accused hy old wo- men from all parts of the State with having bunkoed them. It was expected that if the sentence had been left to lthe judgment of the court he would have spent a term of years in one of the. State’s penitentiaries. As it is, however, the sentence is limited to six | monthe in the County Jail. There is another charge against Proc- | tor. He is accused of embezzlement in having induced the old lady to give him' $108, but there is considerable | doubt as to whether the evidence is a8 strong as in the case of the rings. i ————— CELEBRATE BIRTHDAY OAKLAND, March 9.—The pupils and a number of the graduates of St. Francis de Sales School gathered on Tuesday aftérnoon to celebrate the birthday anniversary of Father Mc- Sweeney, the head of the parish and founder of;the school: Father Mc- Sweeney Has endeared himself to | many who have received their edu- w. ,cation under his guldance and the | graduates-as well as the puplls delight to do him honor upon this occasion.

We must keep it to the lofty ideals that have been sunounced, For one I believe the way to do that Republicane into public life who belleve in the Roosevelt doctrine of clean government. That is the way to strengthen the hands of our leaders. That is the way to build. That is | the way to win the confidence of the people in | political ‘batties. That is the way to win Tight up the line. If you are a Republican and your party pre- | sents honest, tried, Intelligent, trustworthy men for your suffrages, vote for them. That is one way to make your party strong and re- spected, and it Is one way to express your be- ue! in the great work that is being done under the leadership of Theodore Roosevelt. His in- auguration last Saturd; as the twenty- seventh President of the United States marks, I belleve, the openins of an epoch In our na- tion's records the like of which will not have { been equaled in many years to come. It will, I am confident, be such an administration as will_be blazoned upon the landmarks of his- tory so deeply that in all time the lessons shall not be forsotten. See to it that do our share as Republicans. 1If we do. we may be sured the reward will be a just one—name- | go0d government at the hands of good citi- zens. And more tkan that, it will be an en- couragement and an inducement for all good citizens to seek to sit in the public places that they may lend their helping hands toward furthering this mighty work. You know my feelings on the subject of good government. It goes without saying that I shall do all that I can to discharge the duties of the office of Mayor to the best of my abfl- ity. 'This Is a trite saying in politics, but it ie full of meaning to the man who is consclen- tious. The dutles of Mayor are many and are important. He can exercise them and con- tribute largely to the general good. He can suggest, he can advise, he can approve and he can disapprove. With a legislative council and executive boards in harmony with him, his | work can be lightened and his policies can be maintained Under such condftions he can ac- complixh a great deal for the city. It is under such conditions I should like fo serve my city as its Mayor. It is under such conditions as these that I hope to serve my city as its Mayor. In carrying out some of the ideas that gen- eral oeervations have given me, I feel the importfince of liberal provision jor street im- provements. se are essential, both from sanitary, utilitarian and _esthetic points of view. There should be clean and safe thor- oughfares, and It will be one of my first moves, If 1 am elected, to press matters rap- idly in this direction. At all times bearing in mind the demand for economy, I should en- deavor to trim our municipal cloth in order to put a larger amount into the Street Depart- ment.

BULLET STOPS CHICKEN THIEF University - Professor Kills Marauder Found Prowling in His Poultry Preserves £V ST e Berkeley Office S8an Francisco Call, 2148 Center street, March 9. Grief stalks to-day through the halls of the Sigma Nu fraternity house on | Le Conte avenue and the members of | the Greek letter “frat” go about re- fusing to be comforted. Professor A. C. Wright of the engineering depart- «ment of the university has killed their pet coon, an animal famed throughout the length and breadth of the univer- sity town for his many accomplish- ments. < The Sigma Nu coon lost his life last night through an inordinate fondness for the meat of chickens, particularly the fowl kept by Professor Wright at his home, 1632 Euclid avenue, Professor Wright has missed a num- ber of his chickens during the last month and for some time has kept watch at night for the thief who in- vaded his poultry yard. He suspected human thieves and was prepared to give depredators a scare. Last night he was on watch and his vigilance was rewarded by the sight of the Sigma Nu coon creeping into the poultry- house. One bullet sufficed for the fra- ternity pet and he fell in his tracks. News of his demise was conveyed to the fraternity men, who buried his re- mains with ceremony to-day. This is the second chicken-stealing episode in which fraternity men have figured during the last week, the Phi Gamma Delta men having been ac- cused on Sunday last of appropriating six hens from Mr. Shaw, their neigh- bor, on Dana street.

The | organization of those interested in dramatic | matters. to incl lude all classes at the univer— sity! was Professor Armes’ di- rection la planved to unify all the dramatic talent of the colleges in this new association and to give productions of classical plays at least once a year.

OAKLAND, March 3.—Voting ma- chines will not be used Monday at the municipal election, as had been ar- ranged by the City Council in amcord- ance with the offer of Frank C. Jor- dan, agent for the devices. It was dis- | covered to-day after the machines had arrived that owing to the peculiar na- ture of the election ballot they could not be prepared in time for use. As soon as the City Counell learned of the situation a special meeting was called for to-night. It was feared that complications would arise to in- terfere with the legality of the elec- tion, but this was cleared up at the meeting. City Attorney McElroy ad- vised the rescinding of the resolutions calling for the use of the machines. This was done and the Couneil ap- pointed fifty-eight additional ballet clerks to serve in the precincts where Harry Reed, ran over and cut the hose - fs‘u‘ in the university’s experimental work in versity in 1900 In the college of civil engineer- | the machines had been placed. ing, and who s now an assistant in the | Uni'ed States Ctast Geodetic Survey, has just | returned from the Philippines to the univer- mity.
