No matter what may be the| outcome of the investigation I or my| friends are making of the manner in| which the student vote was polled at | the last election, there will be no con- ! test to follow.” ( John Hinkel is’the Berkeley capital- | ist who was defeated by Thomas Rickard in the recent contest for the Trusteeship from the Second Ward. The | vate of the university students who reside in his ward and who cast bal-' lots at the election on April 10 will be thoroughly investigated, he declares, to determine whether there was any illegal voting. The defeated candidate was to have | held a conference to-day with a num- | ber of his friends who have been 1ook- | Ing into the methods alleged to have | been employed by Hinkel's opponents | in politics, but the conference was post- poned for a few days until the investi- gation is completed. Interest in the af- fair has died away with the announce- ment that Mr. Hinkel has no thought of contesting Rickard’s seat, it being| understood that no official action of | any sort is contemplated. The university authorities are satd | to have begun an investigation of the | story that students voted illegally and received money for their votes, but no | university professor or officer admits knowledge of such an investigation. | Mr. Hinkel has not been called upon | by any university officer for proofs of | the alleged wrongdoing, and no other | man connected with the private inves-. tigation instituted by Hinkel has been | asked to enlighten the university ad- ministration. HALF HOUR OF MUSIC BY THE DE KOVEN GLUB BERKELEY, April 23.—The De Koven Club, made up largely of college fraternity men who sing, gave the half-hour of music in the Greek Theater on the campus this after- noon. Clinton R. Morse, founder of the club, directed the concert, The programme given attracted an audience that almost completely fllied the great amphitheater. The following numbers were rendered: ‘‘Sword of Ferrara’ (Bullard), De Koven Club; contralto Mrs. W. Lon My Home 1Is 001 (De_Koven), (b) Vintage Song (Mendelssohn), De Koven Club; “Hosanna,” Baster song (Granier), Clinton | B Morse; “By Babylon's Wave" (Gounod), the University Treble Cleff and the De Koven Club. “‘Sweet Lavender,” Pinero's famous drama, is to be produced to-night at the Macdonough Theater in Oakland by the Mask and Dagger and the In-the-Meantime clubs of the univer- sity. The proceeds of the entertainment will be used for enlarging the dramatic library of the university. The Mask and Dagger organ- ization is made up of women students and the In-the-Meantime Club is composed of men. Their first joint appearance will be made to- night. Emil Kruschke is to direct their pro- duction of ‘‘Swest Lavender’ and will also play the lesding part of Richard Phenyl. The costumes and scenic investiture have been ar- ranged for on an elaborate scale and the en- terprise is regarded as perhaps the most am- bitious dramatic effort yet made at the uni- versity. Jackson Gregory, editor in chief of the Blue versity, announces that the volume will come from the printer's hands next Thursday. It is ewaited with more than usual interest because of hints that its pages are replete with fea- tures of @ spectacular sort. Robert Dupouey is to deliver two of his leo- tures in French on “‘Girls and Young Women of France” during the coming week, on Tues- the students’ observatory. His subject Tues- day will be “The French Girl in the Contem- porary Novel” and on Thursday ‘A !f:an" s ries will given on the subject being “The Married Woman In the French Contem- porary Novel™ The final senior assembly of the year is to be_held mext Wednesday night at Hearst Hall.

OAKLAND, April 23. — Nature smiled to-day on the hundreds who gathered at the churches of Oakland to partake of the spiritual joys of the Baster season and join in hymns of praise to him who on this day had | risen from the dead. The houses of worship were beautifully decorated and in many of the churches elaborate musical services were rendered by choirs carefully trained for the occa- sion. . The evening services were marked by the singing of three famous orator- fos. At the First Congregational Church “Daughter of Jarius’ was sung by a choir of sixty voices; at the First Presbyterian Church Gaul's new composition, “The Prince of Peace,” was rendered, and at St. Paul's Episcopal Church “The Holy City,” by Gaul, was sung. At the other churches special programmes were rendered. ———— LONDON STOCK MARKET BUSINESS IS LIVELY LONDON, April 23.—Business on the Stock Exchange last week was in- terrupted by the holidays and the un- certainty of events in the Far East. Otherwise the market was cheerful and steady. Money was more plenti- ful than had been expected, and, with returns from the country after the holidays increasing the bank reserve, there ie renewed talk of a reduction of the bank rate in the near future. The feature of the quiet week was the actlvity and erratic movements of Americans under Wall-street influences, Northern Securities fluctuating vigor- ously, but generally prices were not materially altered during the week. by the ladies of Unity Circle.

HE WILL —_ - - RABBI MAKLS STERLING TALK Contrasts the Evils of His Own Country With Russia and Sounds Warning Note OAKLAND, April 23—The condition of the masses of this country were sharply contrasted with the condition of the masses in Russia by Rabbl Friedlander last night in a Good Fri- day address at the First Hebrew Con- gregation at Twelfth and Castro streets. The address was entitled “The Past and the Present,” and the serious and warning note struck by the rabbi has created much comment among the followers of the faith of Juaism in this city In this connec- tion he said in part: Russia is facing a crisis brought on by un- just and unreasonable arrogation of power by the ruling potentates. America is facing a problem arising from illegitimate and unre- striceed amassing of wealth by the controlling | money magnates. In Russia it is a struggle between the people and the Government, threatening the overthrow of the bureaucracy. Hereit {s a struggle between -capital and la- bor—between the people among the people threatening the overthrow of the entire in- dustrial system and the undermining of the very foundation of our liberty. In Russia the people clamor for more eivic and equality, 1 curtalling of the preeent wer of the Govern- ment over the people. Here the people ask for more economic equality, the adjustment of which entails an assumption of more pOw: mare ethical duties by the Government to'u: the condition and needs of the people. people complain that the combination of capital in vast amounts held by corporations, trusts and syndicates crowds out capable men with small means and gains control ovér the time and wages of the laborers, which involves the greatest industrial evils; the small produc- er or Individual driven to want, and the lab This is the complaint. Is it true? If this complaint is well founded, then the present system must lead to a wide gap between the asses and the masses, an evil which caused the downfall of all republics In the past, and which must surely though slowly undermine our own natlonal strength. Now capital de- nies this. The capitalist calls himself a bene- factor and says he oreates employment and frequently gives large sums to educational and charitable institutions. The laboring man does not want his chari- tles. He holds with Emerson, “Let no man think himself absolved because he does a gen- erous action and befriends the poor, but let him see whether he 80 holds his property that @ benefit goes from it to all.” If the laboring man is right, If his ory is well founded, then he must be iistened to and receive justice. Then government, which, fo- cording to the old book, is a divine institution, must right it. Then it is the duty of the Government to call a halt to human greed. DR. BURCHARD SUCCUMBS TO TYPHOID FEVER OAKLAND, April 28—Dr. L. 8. Bur- chard, a prominent physician of this city, died at 1:20 o'clock this afternoon at his residence, 318 Durant street, having been ill only eighteen days from typhoid pneumonia.

W. Crandall, the local manager of the Realty Syndicate. Mr. Crandall not only secured the low rate for the| excursion, but gave careful attention | to every detail of the outing, and when the excursion reached Sorosis had a bountiful luncheon served to the brokers and their families at his home at that place. After the luncheon the guests inspected the Sorosis fruit farm, of which Mr. Crandall is the manager. The excursionists then visited Sara- toga, Congress Springs and Los Gatos, 8going over the lines of the Interurban system. From Los Gatos they returned to San Jose, where the party dis- banded. As the excursion tickets are good for three days, some ‘members of the party remained in the Garden City over night.

One of the largest sales of the pres- ent yvear was made last week by the Laymance Real Estate Company, through whose office the Washington- street business block known as the Hannifin, or Dunn, building, was sold by W. R. 8. Foye of San Franclsco to August Kaiser and Gustav Kalser of Nebraska. The pm?my consists of a three-story brick bullding on Washing- ton street, near Eighth, the lot on which it stands being 1-3 by 100 feet. The purchase price of the prop- erty was $40,000. William J. Laymance, president of the company, says that the April sales of his firm have amounted to more than $100,000. This is the third large sale of business property made by the Laymance Company in the last week. Another important transaction in local real estate was the sale last week of a lot 100 by 756 feet on Franklin street, between Tenth and Eleventh. This property was sold to P. F. Fer- guson by J. S. Myers, the price paid being $22,600. There have recently been more large sales of property in this locality than in any other part of the city, and it is stated on good authority that several other deals in- volving large properties on Franklin and Webster streets will soon be com- pleted. The general condition of the Alameda County real estate market is most satisfactory and brokers, both on the bay shore and in the interior, do not hesitate to say that more actual busi- ness will be done this year than ever before in the history of the county. Holcomb, Breed & Bancroft report that since the opening of Santa Fe tract No. 7, two months ago, twenty- two lots have been sold in this tract, many of them to newcomers to Ala- meda County. J. Tyrrell says the condition of the Oakland market is much bettef now than at this time last year. He reports a brisk demand for residence property in the neighborhood of Clinton station in East Oakland. ¢ Karl H. Nickel is about to begin the erection of three fine residences on Linda Vista Terrace, in Piedmont. He sald to-day that the demand for in- wvestment property has been steadily increasing since the first of the year. A new firm known as the Willlams Real Bstate Company has just opened offices in the Bacon bullding. The members of the firm are W. 8. Wil- hams, Willlam 8. George and Robert Mills. The West Coast Realty Company, another newly organized local firm, reports the sale of several lots in the High-street Boulevard tract, in Fruit- vale, in the last two weeks. A. S. Day, who has recently opened new offices In this city, reports busi- ness good, with a steady demand for small houses and cottages for rent. E. D. Judd of Alameda has just opened the Bayside tract, between San Antonio avenue and the bay. The tract contains twenty lots and already slx of these have been sold, three of them to people from San Francisco. TO BUILD HOTEL. Plans have been prepared for the erection of a large tourist hotel which will be built on the new Fruitvale Boulevard tract by George H. Lee. The size of the site chosen for the is 240 by 475 feet and commands a splendid view of the surrounding country. The hotel will be close to three car lines and is directly on the line of the foothill Tepresenting road, which will extend from Oakland to Haywards. The Magnesite Dock and Land Com- pany last week sold three acres of land ou the East Oakland water front to the Rose Fire Brick Company. The price paid for the property was $15,000. James P.

While being treated at the hospital he tried to slash his throat with a razor and again meeting with failure sought to strangle himself after being placed in bed. After this he was put under close watch of the attendants to prevent further effort at self-destruction. ‘When Earl threw himself across the railroad track his life was saved be- cause the train was moving under slow headway. At the Receiving Hos- pital Dr, O. D. Hamlin examined the patient but found only an injury to the left hip that was not serious. It was on Seventh street, a short dis- tance west of Webster, that Earl made his desperate effort to die. He ran out to the track as the westbound 5:10 o’clock train, with Engineer James Irelan in the cab, approached. Just as the engine was almost upon him, Earl dropped to the ground and threw himself flat across the ralls in front of the locomotive. Engineer Irelan caught a glimpse of the man in time to put on brakes. Earl’s failure to end his life under the train wheels only added to his de- termination to die. After the surgeons had completed thelr examination, Earl suddenly drew a razor from his coat pocket and tried to cut his throat while he was lying on the operating table in the hospital. Dr. Hamlin saw the keen-edged tool in time to grab the man, and prevent him from ac- complishing his purpose. This second failure did not dis- courage the despondent patient from trying a third time. He was placed on a cot in the large ward and there made an attempt to strangle himself to death by cording a pillow slip about his neck. Earl tightened the cloth and fastened one end to the head of the bed. Harry Borchert, the hospital steward, caught the slowly suffocating old man and quickly removed the noosed slip. Earl was restored and was placed under restraint so that he could make no further attempt. The hospital attendants believe he is de- mented. 3 Earl sald he was despondent because his money was gone and his people were all dead. Among the old man’'s effects were found letters addressed to the Coroner and to J. 8. Earl, 306 Larkin street, San Francisco, a son. The message set forth that the writer intended to commit suicide because his family had abandoned him. The son sald to-night: “My father is subject to fits of tem- porary insanity. He has property and means with which to care Yor himself. Friday night a fire occurred in the flat above his home and damaged his place by water. He spent last night with idea he was contemplat- Goes to Manila as a Major Attached to the Military Secretary’s De- partment of Army. Major Alexander O. Brodie, former Governor of Arizona and now attached to the Military Secretary’s depart- ment of the army as assistant chief of the Record and Pension Office, arrived here Saturday and is staying at the Occidental Hotel. He is on his way to the Philippines, for which he will depart next week. Major Brodie is an intimate friend of President Roose- velt's, whom he assisted in raising the Rough Rider Regiment. His appoint- ment to a position in the army was made early in February and created much comment in the military de- partment by reason of the fact that he was advanced over the heads of many other officers. The position of assistant chief of the Record and Pension Office was held by Major Edward 8. Fowler, who was replaced by Brodie. It was the original plan of the President to have Brodie succeed Fowler when the lat- ter’s term expired in May, but an act of Congress abolishing the office as soon as a vacancy occurred changed the President’s plans and hastened the appointment of Arizona’s Governor, who immediately resigned the latter position and reported to Washington. The major is going to the Philippines in connection with business of his de- partment and rumor from Washington says that while away he, will be ad- vanced to the rank of lleutenant colonel ———— Gates Buys Steamship Fleet.

The trip to the Philippines was | planned months ago and the pause lni Japan is a mere incident- It will be | the largest company of officials and legislators from the United States that ever visited a foreign capital. Although the primary mission is to | see the Philippines in order that the | future legislative policy concerning the American far Eastern possessions may | be assisted by personal knowledge, it is generally felt here that great sig- nificance will be attributed to the visit to Tokio by cther powers interested In the Far East. The Washington Gov- ernment will try to forestall false ideas about the trip. Among those who will sail with Sec- retary Taft from San Franciseo in July are: BSenators Allison, Carmack, Long, Newlands, Patterson, Daniel, Dubols, Scott, Stone and Warren; Speaker Cannon, Representatives Coch- ran, Crumpacker, Curtis, Cooper, Dear- mond, Foss, Gillett, Grosvenor, Hep- burn, Hill, Payne, Scott, Watson, Sher- ley, Howard, Jones and Longworth. In this party are represented some of strongest influences in both Republican and Democratic circles of Congress. The American legislators will spend six days in Japan, a day or two in Canton, China, and the rest of the time in the Philippines. They will hear as much while there of China and Chinese politics as they hear in the United States of the ins and outs of national politics. For this reason the diplomats in Washington, the State Department officials and representa- tives of American manufacturing inter- ests, who are anxious to conquer the markets of the Pacifie, expect much to come of this Oriental pilgrimage in the shape of increased knowledge and stimulated interest among the legisla- tors on the subject of the Far East and America’s interests there. OUAKERS SCORE THEIR MINISTER Special Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, April 23.—Officials of the Friends’ Church have issued a statement of the disciplining of Rev. Levi D. Barr for marrying two di- vorced persons, this being an echo of the recent wedding in this city of C. C. Reynolds and Mrs. Miriam Kirby, whom cupid involved in much storm and stress. The statement reads in part: “Friends in Southern California and grieved by the pastor of the Friends’ Church in Los Angeles who officiated recently in the of two divorced parties. The circum- stances were notorious and pecullarly flagrant. The recent session of the Pasadena quarterly meeting held In this city took hold of the grievance and passed the following resolution: ‘“We hereby record our deep sense of sorrow and regret at this inexcusable conduct and wrong on the part of our brother, which has brought discredit and reproach upon the church, and give it as our deliberate *judgment that it is the duty of our brother, so far as it is in his power, to make a con fession of his wrong and purge the church from all sanction and complie- ity In his conduct.” At Saturday afternoon’s session Barr made a publiec acknowledgment and apology that was accepted. C. C. Reynolds, the divorced man whom Rev. Mr. Barr married was a Friends preacher who fell from grace. He was at one time pres- ident of the Pasadena City Couneil and his romantic affection for Mrs. Kirby got him into all kinds of hot ‘water. He and his new wife are now YHving happily in this city. —_—————— SHORE RAILROAD ‘Hundreds of Persons Take of Summer Schedule and Visit Bay Towns. SAN RAFAEL, April 23.—The of vice was Inaugurated.

It s expected that at this conference the final detalls will be arranged for a mammoth holding com- pany of all the Vanderbilt securities. It is understood here that this would have i been accomplished before had net the Northern Securities case in preme Court cautioned delay. The suc- cessful operation of the plan of the Mackay Company, which placed in share form all the interests of the late John W.

The Lincoln Gun Club held an old time bluerock shoot yesterday at the Ingleside traps. Many old features, as well as new ones, were introduced during the day. The first eveat, under the Rose System in which birds wers thrown. from unknown traps, was taken by Donohoe, who broke 12 birds. The next event was similar, but the contestant was compelled to hold his gun below the elbow. In this Webb broke 12 birds and was high man.

A weak stomach is most fre- quently caused by the over- worked and exhausted nervous system. The power that runs the stomach is the nerve force sent to it from the brain through the nerves. When the nerves are weak or exhausted the sup- ply of energy is insufficient and the action of the stomach is impaired, and results in im- perfect digestion—d Dr. Miles’ Restorative Nerv- ine increases nerve force. It strengthens and builds up nerve tissue, gives vigor to the nerves and mauscles of the stomach; this produces a healthy activity. Nervine allays the inflamma- tion, heals the membranes, and makes the stomach strong and healthy. There is nothing that so quickly gives energy to the whole system as Restorative Nervine.
