YOUNG MAN WHO HAS BEEN PRESENTED WITH A MEDAL BY SOCIETY FOR THE PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TO CHILDREN FOR recogni- A OAKLAND, March 10.—In tion of the heroism of George {Janvrin, who at the risk of his life saved four-year-old Ramona A. Brunje from death under the hoofs of a team of runaway horses, the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children has just awarded the young man a handsome medal inscribed with the record of his deed. Janvrin lives at the home of his father, George M. | Janvrin, at 1311 Campbell street, and he was much surprised when he re- celved a letter a few days ago notify ing him of the award and asking him to go to San Franeisco to receive it. The medal is of bronze and is en- graved with a design typical of the work of the life-saver. On the reverse side are inscribed the words “Presented to George Janvrin, in recognition of his bravery in saving the life of a child.” The medal is suspended from a bar on which is engraved, “The BEnd | Crowns the Act.” The rescued child is the daughter of John A. Brunje of 1645 Broadway. The little girl was playing in front of her home, when & runaway team dashed down Broadway and turned on the sidewalk near where the little girl was at play. Janvrin was work- ing near by and saw the child’'s peril. He reached -her just in time to drag her from in front of the horses. So close was the team that the rescuer was struck by one of the horses and thrown éown, but he escaped without injury. FRENCH TALKS TO BE GIVEN AT UNIVERSITY RO o e BERKELEY, March 10.—M.

After a campaign of education, dur- ing which Oakland has been flooded with an enormous amount of printed matter, the citizens will vote to-mor- | row on a proposition to issue bonds for | the construction of a municipal water | system. For weeks proponents of the project, as well as opponents of the | plan, have heen at work, deluging the city with their arguments. Hundreds of thousands of pamphlets covering ev- ery phase of the issue have been cir- culated. The mails have been swamp- ed with matter. Every householder in Oakland has been-cared for by both sides. Tesides, a personal canvass has been made in an effort to reach the voters who have it in their power to decide the question at the polls. The project is that of the Bay Cities ‘Water Company, which purposes to in- stall a water system which shall de- liver not less than 20,000,000 gallons daily at the southern boundary of the city. Bonds in the amount of $3,750,000 must be voted if the city decides to ac- cept this proposition. In addition, bonds for $1,950,000 are also required as the estimated cost of a pipe line = dis- tributing the system inside the city. The total of 35,700,000 is the amount upon which the vote will be taken to- morrow, It will require a two-thirds affirma- tive vote to carry the bonds. Polling places, fifty-seven in number, have been established throughout the city, and the City Clerk has sent a notification to each voter showing where his polling place is located.

Gathering Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1016 Broadway, March 10. A Dbig Republican love feast was held to-night at the Dewey Theater in celebration of the close of the munici- pal gampaign.. Unusual’ enthusiasm mar] the ‘meeting, which was at- tended by a large audience. Speeches were made by Frank K. Mott, the nominee for Mayor, and other leaders in the city and State. A rousing re- ception was given to A. P. Leach, the Republican nominee for City Attorney. On the platform were F. C. Turner, Charles D. Bates Jr., George J. Fitz- gerald, G. E. Aitken, Arthur H. Breed and other candidates. Frank W. Bilger, chairman of the Republican City Central Committee, in- troduced H. C. Capwell, who was pres- ident of the evening. He read a letter from Governor George C. Pardee, who said he could not leave Sacramento at this time. The Governor added: “A ticket with Frank K. Mott at its head ought to compel the confidence and support of a constituency like that of my home town.” District Attorney John J. Allen made a rousing appeal to Republicans to stand by the ticket from top to bot- tom. A. P. Leach spoke for harmony in the municipal administration. Samuel M. Shortridge, who had been invited by ‘the committee to talk to Oakland’s Republicans, eulogized Oak- land and said: “I am here as a Re- publican. I am a Republican in mu- 1 nicipal, in State and in national af- fairs. When I have been called to talk to Republicans I go no matter wheré the call may come. STRENGTH OF PARTY. “A party is something more than an organization of men. Through it must run an enduring idea. There must be a love of country, of State, of city, actuating it. Make your party strong by voting with it at all times.” Frank K. Mott was warmly wel- comed. During his address he said: It is highly proper that the people should have an opportunity to hear and see the men who aspire to public office, but you will fully agree with me when I say that it is not only improper, but positively foolish for a candidate for office, especially the office of Mayor, to ut- ter long strings of promiees all beginning with the big capital letter 'L" The Mayor of Oakland is but one party to a partnership— you ere the other party, and only by agreeing as to terms and items can we accomplish any- thing. I have said that this {s no time for egotism, but it is a time for a stralght per- sonal talk, and that I propose to give you. But one promise has been made by me during this campaign-—that 1f eleoted I shall give to Oakland the hest that I have. The more one sees of political life the more ome is Impressed with. the futility of promises. A man may g0 upon the rostrum and tell his fellow citizens that he will do thus and so, never considering the conditions that might arise to forbid him absolutely from following such a course as he bad promised. He may have been sincerity itself in the making of those promises, but he finds when confronted with the situation that he has been compeiled to Stultify himself. As a candidate’for Mayor of Oakland, it is due to you and to myself thgt T should make a definite ‘statement concerning my _aftitude toward municipal affairs, This, I believe, can be done without my golng too elaborately into the conditions that make the administration of Oakland's government somewhat difficult. And I belleve that such a statement as I purpose to make will not compel me to go on record with a lot of ante-election pledges which might perforce have to be swept aside like chaff in the face of specific conditions. SUBJECT OF TAXES. The most important subject to the voters and the property owners of Oakland Is the tax rate. The charter of the city of Oakland fixes a limit of §1 for the maintenance of the clty government—this dollar limit means that no money can be raised for general fons outside that fgure, That the levy has beén highet than that is due to the demand for pay- ment of bond interest and redemption and for the support of our high schools and publlo parks. These additional amounts are author- ized by special acts of the Legislature. It goes without saying that Oakland is advanc- ing rapidly in population, This means that there ie a steadily Increasing demand for more fire protection, for more policemen, for mors sanitary protection, in short, for & greater ex- penditure of public funds in the administration of civic affairs. It will be a problem deserv- ing of much thought and study to make the income fit the constantly growing demands upon it. 1 am one of those who belleves that our municipal government is honestly conduct- ed. T have sat In the City Councll and have had opportunity to see where the money goes. I have seen, the closest scrutiny given to bills against the city, and have done what was in my power to Insure economy and thrift in the handling of public money. 'As Mayor of Oak- ABOUT KINIRY Prosecution Makes Strong Points Against Man Who ~Is on Trial for Murder HAS MUCH TO EXPLAIN Admissions Made by Defend- ant to the Police Place His Heau{ Within Noose Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1016 Broadway, March 10. Two damaging points were brought out against David Kiniry to-day in his trial for his life for the murder of Po- liceman J. H. Smith on the evening of November 27, 1903. Both of them tend to show that it was he and not Joseph !G:lesteln who fired the murderous The first was in the dving statement of Smith, that was taken down in shorthand by Eugene Van Court, in which he said: “‘One of the two men suddanly stepped back and fired two shots at me; I then pulled my pistol and shot the other man. He had the , beardless face of a youth and was as itall as I. I did not get the one who { shot me.” * Another point was the finding of a loaded weapon near where Goldstein's body was lying. Chief of Police Hodg- . kins and former Policeman Lee An- drews testified to finding the pistol ly- ing on the grass, about twenty feet from the dead robber. From the admissions already made by Kiniry to the police that he and Goldstein were bent on robbery when overtaken by Smith, he has virtually admitted that he was guilty of mur- der. The courts have held in like cases that the murderer and accessory are equally guilty. Kiniry's fight, however, is to evade hanging and Attorney Frick is trying to show that while his client may be guilty of robbery, or by implication of murder, he did not actually do the shooting. —_— PASTORS WL VISIT OAKLAND Many Clergymen Are to At- tend Great Evangelistic Conference Next Tuesday ———— Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1016 Broadway, March 10.- The greatest evangelistic conference in the history of California will be held in_Oakland next Tuesday, March 14, when the pastors of all the churches within 100 miles of this city will gather here to attend a conference which will be held under the direction of Dr. J. ‘W. Chapman, who is now conducting lthedsrea.t campaign of revival in Oak- land. The first session of the conference will be held at the First Presbyterian Church in the morning and will be for members of the Presbyterian clergy. The afternoon session, which will be open to ministers of all denom- | inations, will be held either at the First Methodist or the First Congregational Church. < To-morrow will be a day of rest for the evangelists and singers, who will visit the big trees at Santa Cruz to re- cuperate after the first week of the campaign. There will be but two meet- ings held, the first a noonday service at the Southern Pacific machine shops in West Oakland at 12:25, and the sec- ond a mass meeting for men only at | Alcatraz Hall on Seventh and Peralta streets. This service, which will be- gin at 7:45, will be conducted by Evan- gelist J. C.

The - result of Professar Jacques Loeb's researches into the problem of the origin of life are contained in two volumes, advance copies of which came to the library of the University of California to-day. They have been eagerly awaited by students and sa- vants alike, their publication being re- ;garded by scientists as an Impertant sevent in the history of blolegical re- search. The work is entitled “Studies in General Physiology.” 1t came from the University of Chicago press. ‘The scope and character of the work are indicated by the preface contribut- ed by Dr. Loeb, in which several sig- nificant and deeply interesting state- ments regarding the origin of life are made. The preface is, in part, as fol- lows: I should not have had the courage to offer these volumes to the public had I not repeat- edly been asked by physicians and blologists to render my publications, which are widely ncattered, more easily accessible. Therefore, when the editor of the Decennial Publications of the University of Chicago Invited me to make a contribution to the series, I mentioned to him, not without hesitation, the idea of collecting and republishing my papers on gem- eral physiology. . In spite of the ai- versity of topics, a single leading idea per— meates all the papers of this callection, namely, that it is possible to get the life-phenomena under our control, and that such a control and nothing else is the alm of biology. Thus the reader will notice that in a series of these publications I have tried to find the agencies which determine unequivocally the direction of the motion of animals, and he will also notice tRat I consider a complete knowl- edge and control of these agencies the biolog- feal solution of the metaphysicial problem of animal instinct and will. In the problem of regeneration I started out with the idea of controliing these phemomena, and considered it our first aim to find means by which one organ could, at desire. bé caused to grow In the place of another organ. Thus the experiments on heteromerphosis originated. As far as the problem of fertilization is concerned, it scemed to me that the first step toward its solution should consist in the at- tempt to produce larvae artificially from the unfertilized «gss In various classes of animals. Dr. Loeb’s book is made up of thirty- eight chapters. Some of the most im- portant of these deal with the follow- ing subjects: “Instinct and Will in Animals”: “A Simple Method of Producing From One Hgg Two or More Embryos Which Are Grown Together”; “*Contributions to the ~Brain Physjology_of Worma't: “Fhe Iufeinter of TASE o S De- “The velopment of Organs in Animals’ fological Edfects of Electrical Physiclogical Problems of To-Day Artificlal Production-of: Normal Larvae.

The cases of Vietor Gazzole, engineer, and Harry Reed, fireman, of the Ala- meda local train that cut two sections of fire hose lagt night at the Paclfic Lumber Company fire, First and Clay streets, were continued to-day in the Police Court pending further action by Chief Engineer Ball of the fire depart- ment. Chief Ball said to-day he had caused the arvests because this was the third time engines had cut his hose while it was in service at fires. At last night's fire by the cutting of the hose the department was help- less in the face of flames that threat- ened a large amount of property. Ball declared the engineer had ample warn- ing and that Gazzole had admitted he saw the crowd when his engine was at Brush street, where he slowed down, four blocks west of where the hose crossed theetrack. Two sections of hose, each fifty feet long, were destroyed. Persons who did not disclose their identity made over- tures to Chief Ball to-day to stop pros- ecution provided the damage done was covered by payment to the city for the ruined hosé. Chief Ball said he would agree to that course, as he had no de- sire to do more than tc protect the de- rartment in such cases. He contended that if tha hose had been cut five min- utes sconer a great mass of shingles and a large barn warehouse would have been attacked by the fire. The supply of water from the two lines was shut off from the fire at a critical time. The firemen were compelled to un- couple the severed sections and remove them before they could remew their streams. It was asserted by the trainmen that their view of the hose was obstructed by the crowd. Ball asserts signals were displayed to stop the train. —_———e————————— | OLD MAN KILLED WHILE 1 Cwmmmm 1 —— OAKLAND, March 10.—A. G. Mas- 000. matter by Attorney A. F.
