MEHRMANN THE HERO OF SCOTT CAMP . OARLAND, July 26.—Tt Is not often that one Coroner has an opportunity to rob an- other of a case and at the same time win glory for himself, but that i what Dr. H. B. Mehrmann, Oakland’s morgue official, succeed- ed in doing a few days ago. The genial doctor and his wife have been enjoying a stay at the J. Walter Scott camp on Russian River, and recently their host and. hostess planned & trip by steamer to Bohemia Grove. As Dr. Mehrmann was about to impose his 200 pounds of stalwart manhood upon the steamer's deck a scream drew his attention to the fact that some woman in a rowboat had carelessly fallen overboard. In all the glory of his out- ing clothes Dr. Mehrmann sprang to the res- cue, regardless of the fact that he was prob- ably depriving hig Sonoma County confrere of ‘a perquisite. He and the careless lady were soon ashore, none the worse for the fm- promptu bath, and now the doctor is busy dodging the assortment of halos that his friends insist on fitting about his head. Another visitor to the Scott camp who is gaining laurels and a reputation for unveracity is W. A. Schrock. He clalms—and some of his friends stand in—that he landed a fine elght- pound bass in about ten minutes last Monday mornin; Eagle's Nest, the name, by the way, of this camp of many happerings, s one of the finest on the Russian River, and the Scotts have spent every summer there for years. The Oscar Lunings aldo have a beautiful camping-piace on the Russian ming pool, electric lights and every o venience, ‘making it a rarely comfortable and up-to-date summer home. ~Usually & large party enjoys the summer at Luning camp, but this' year Mr. and Mrs. Luning are taking their pleasures very quietly alone. One of Oakland's popular officials, Street In- spector W. W. Blair, became a_benedict this evening, his bride being Miss Emma Wells. Mr. Blair hae guarded the secret of his lttle romance very carefully, so that the news of his marriage is rather a surprise. The wed- ding took place at the home of the bride's father, Captain Wells, at 52 Hamilton ‘place. The honeymoon itinerary will include Port- land, and when Mr. and Mrs. Blair return they will ‘continue to reside in Oakland. Distinguished visitors, like angels, are some— times entertained unawares. Mrs. Minnte Mad- dern Fiske has been spending a few quiet days at the home of her cousin, %flu. Jack London, who was a Miss Maddern before her marriage some years ago with the well-known novelist. Mr. and Mrs. John Hinkel of Berkeley join the northbound procession last S; i and are now in Portland. They will probably visit Seattle and other citles of the north be- fore returnina. A « e e BERKELEY, July 26.—One of the prettiest weddings - of the season took place In Mark's Church to-night when Miss Elise Wel- don became the bride of George Oxley. nuptials were solemnized at 8:30 o'clock the presence of over a hundred friends. Rev. Robert Renleon, recto® of St. Matthew's Church, performed the ceremony. He . was assisted by Rev, W. R. Hodgkin, curate of St Mark's. Miss Marie Weidon, a sister of the bride, wag maid of hdnor, while Walter Gompertz supported the groom. The six. bridesmaids were Miss Bessie Forse, Miss Ethel Oxley, Miss Mattie Lowden, Miss Minnle Hussey and Miss Rena Johnson. Little Miss Gweneth Tamage acted as ring girl. The bridal party made a most beautiful picture in the prettily decorated church. The in Oxley will reside in Berkeley. e b .

When her spouse, Dr. Lemon. one of Oakland’'s early day characters, died his wife immediately barred and shut- tered the drug store at 706 Broadway the. hour of her own passing Mrs. Lemon did not disturb an article that | the old-time shop contained. Soon after Dr. Lemon's: demise Mrs. Lemon developed a monomania for at- i tending funerals. It was her only de- parture from the hermit-like existence the grieving woman set herself to fol- low the remainder of her days. But after a time Mrs. Lemon abandoned her morbid pursuit of somber scenes and retired to the dingy place in lower Broadway. For years the aging recluse buried herself amid the bottles and drugs without a companion. It was her be- lief that she could wander in the dust- laden shop and commune with the spirit of her departed spouse. Here ihe be- reaved wife found much consolation, satisfied, evidently, in her loneliness to take comfort from the memories of the past. About the place there was an uncanny atmosphe! The children in the neighborhood shunned it and the strange little woman in black. She seldom appeared jn view to satisfy the curious gaze of the older and less fear- some residents thereabouts. But the weight of years bowed down the widow and she slowly faded away. Of late Mrs. J. E. Ware had been stop- ping at the Liemon rooms as a nurse for the dying woman. Mrs. Ware found her charge lifeless in bed this morning at 10 o'clock. Mrs. Lemon was born in England.” Coroner Mehrmann -teok charge. BERKELEY EDUCATOR PASSES LIE DIRECT Director Knowles Says A. F. Hess, Private Citizen, Acted in Bad Faith. BERKELEY, July 26.—A lively tilt occurred”at last night's meeting of the Board of Kducafion over the protest filed by the Ashby Improvement Club, in which the board was charged with gross carelessness in the matter of selecting plans and awarding contracts for the erection of a $40,600 addition to the Le Conte Schoel in the Fourth ‘Ward. Director W. A. L. Knowles resented the charges of the protestants and passed ine lie direct to A. F. Hess, spokesman for the improvers. Hot words flew thick and fast and it was not until President W, K. Wier put an end to the discussion by ordering the protest placed on file that peace was restored. In the protest filed by Hess and others of the by Club it is said that if the construction of the building pro- under the present plans and the completed school will affair, unsafe and not up to modern standards. Fire escapes are not provided forj according to Hess. In reply Krnowles used strong language and accused the members of the im- provement club of insincerity. He said that Hess had deliberately lied when he told the board that he did not know where the plans for the school could be seen. He ealled upon Town Clerk Merrill to substantlate the charge. Hess said that he did know where the plans were, but that he was seek- ing information on behalf of his club. He demanded that the board place the plans at some designated place so that they would be accessible at all times to citizens who desired to inspect them. Judging from the temper of the edu- cators last night it is not likely that the protest will avail much. ———————— ALAMEDA COUNTY NEWS BOY RUNAWAYS ARRESTED.—Oakland, July 26 —Henry Cardwell, 17 years old. from 1os Aneles, and Curtis Mecks, 16 vears of of San Jose, and Grover Schmidt, 17 vears old, of Santa Rosa, were arrested this morn- ing as runawaye.

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, JULY 27, NEWS OF THE COUNTIE 1905 Expert Decides Implement in Schneider’s Room Was Used to Make Bludgeons COOK CASE CLEARING Sheriff Discredits by In- vestigation Blaker's Ex- planation as to His Coin i S OAKLAND, July 2.—Sheriff Frank Barnet has enmeshed John Schneider and George W. Blaker in a web of circum- stantial evidence, which the Sheriff be- lieves warrants him in making the direct accusation that they are guilty of the murderous assault upon and robbery of Thomas W. Cook, whose skull was crushed last Saturday night at Fruitvale, when $250 was taken from him. Cook's chances of recovery slighter as the days pass. Dr. Tait of San Francisco was called into the case to-day in consultation with Dr. J. H. Callen. After a critical examin- ation, meningitis having developed, an operation was performed as a last resort. become At the Alameda Sanitarium to-night Cook was reported to be very low. Two important matters of evidence were. uncovered to-day by the Sheriff. The two lead pipe bludgeons found at the scene of the robbery and a lather's or shingler's hatchet found In Schneider's room were submitted to an expert ma- chinist for his examination. The expert gave Barnet an unqualified opinion that the pieces of pipe were originally in one section, about four feet six inches lons, that_this length was cut, and that the hatchet Barnet found was the utensil| which was used. will not be revealed at present. cerning this opinion, the Sheriff sz “While a most cursory examinatien of the bludgeons would disclose to a lay- n's eyes the correspondence of the cuts and dents in the hacked ends with the ragged edges of the hatchet, I was not satisfied to let the matter rest there. I took the pipe and the hatchet to an expert, and his decision is that hatchet was used to cut the pipe into the two pleces with which the robbers felled Cook. His opinion was not given until I had acquainted him with the facts of the case. He knew just how much there is at stake, and in that way the suspected men might be affected by his atements. “The hatchet, therefore, becomes a very important item of evidence against Schneider, for it was found in his room the day after the robbery.” Investigation cof young Blaker's explan- ations as to where he got the money he spent last Sunday, the day after the crime, has discredited his statements to Sheriff Barnet. I[n that particular the Sheriff said: “Blaker has told a story about the moaney that does not stand the test of close inquiry. This is also important, for Blaker, it is known, did not have money in"any considerable.amount just prior to the’ robbe iy MORE WORK IN SIGHT FOR THE NAVY YARD The expert's identity Con- Training Ship Buffalo Will Undergo Repairs at Mare Island. Epecial Dispaich to The Call. VALLEJO, July 26.—Mare Island navy yard will perform about $100,000 worth of work on the United States training ship Buffalo if the present surveys which have just been submitted to the department are approved. From infor- mation received here it is known that at least $50,00 worth of work will be ap- proved and ordered ‘started in the near future. 1t has been learned that the Lawton will not return to Mare Island, but will come home from the Orient by way of the Suez Canal, with New York as her home port. A strong recommendation will soon be made to the Navy Department to have included in the next naval appropri- ation bill an item for the erection of two new buildings at the Mare Island navy yard for the steam engineering depart- ment to cost $400,000. A new steam en- gineering building was finished at the yard last year, but it is not likely that it will ever be used for more than a storehouse. It is too far away from the old steam engineering building and its location is not suitable for rapid and economical operation in conjunction with the other shops. The present buildings have about outlived their usefulness and new ones are urgently needed. _———— JAPAN'S TEA CROP SHOWS FALLING OFF Shortage Is Attributed to the Exceedingly Heavy Downpour of Rain.

Furuya of New York, who returned on the steamship Tyo Maru from the Orient. Furuya says: “The tea crop is much smaller this year, but the quality is away ahead of last year. The shortage is attributed to the heavy rains that fell just about the time the second crop was reaching ma- turity. Fully 43,000,000 pounds were im- ported into the United States this year from Japan and 17,000,000 pounds from Formosa out of a total of about 90.000,- 000 pounds cdnsumed in this country.” ———e————————— Twin Lakes Baptist Assembly.

Formerly Miss Wilson was a teacher in the Lincoln School, but was recently retired from the regular School De- partment.

Reinhart announced that the law would be rigidly enforced and that no “disability” excuses would be accepted. He claims that a child strong enough to go to school is strong enough to be vaccinated. “No vaccination, no school,” was the Health Officer’s ultimatum. The anti- vaccinationists have answeréd by es- tablishing a school of their own and they defy ecither the State Board of Health or Health Officer Reinhart to compel the children attending this school to bear their arms to the vae- cination scalpel. Meanwhile the members of the Anti- compulsory Vaccination League .will carry on. their campaign against the present law, and when another Legis- lature convenes they will renew their efforts to have the present law re- pealed.
