He studied for the Episcopalian minis- try, and after his ordination was placed | in charge of a parish at Lexington, Ky. It was while engaged in clerical la- | bors at that place in 1868 that he was se- lected as a naval chaplain and assigned to the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis. Because of the scarcity of instructors at the institution during | that trying perfod of the natlon’s his- tory the young clergyman was called {upon to give lectures in international law in addition to performing his du- ties as chaplain. For a short period prior to the close of the Civil War Chaplain Wallace was stationed at Pensacola. He was the ' | chaplain of the fieet that Admiral Far- | | ragut visited Europe with when the| | great struggle that rent the nation was | settled. From 1872 to 1875 Chaplain Wallace was stationed at the Mare Is- | |land navy yard. At different periods during his active service he was sta- | tioned at Boston, New York and Phila- | delphia. After being placed on the retired list Chaplain Wallace came to California and passed his time in this city, Los Angeles and Oakland. He was a mem- ber of the Loyal Legion, and his re- mains are to be forwarded to Washing- |ton to be interred under the auspices | of that organization in the National | Cemetery at Arlington. Chaplain Wallace's wife died in 1864. He is eurvived by a son, John B. Wal- lace, and a daughter, Mus. George L. | Diliman, both residents of Alameda. e A Dies Far From Home.

The millionaire was so amazed that he could make no resistance. “S0 you're running from a policeman— out yeu go,” said she. Pierce protested and wriggled, but the woman held him fast.

Jan. 21.—Chief of Po- lice Vollmer is to make formal ap- plication to the Board of Town Tr tees to-morrow night for an increase of men and money for the police de- partment, based upon the ground that Berkeley is allowed less money and; men than almost any other community of its size in the country. Chief Vollmer has brought the de- partment to a state of efficiency which is declared by police experts who have watched its work to be highly cred- itable, the record of the Berkeley men during the elght months since Voll- mer took office including the handling with success of such important cases as that of Matt Kennedy, the noted crook, who was shot and killed by Po- liceman Lestrange; the Ellis-Andrews case, the McNulty-Olsen case and a host of minor events. The license col- lections are attended to by Chief Voll- mer's men, and these have been ind creased to a phemomenal extent. The department has been uniformed. night and day watches instituted. detective service provided and an admirable es- plonage established throughout the town. Chief Vollmer declares, however, that he is seriously handicapped by the lack of sufficient men to patrol the great ter- ritory which Berkeley, a city of nearly 26,000 persons, covers. He will so in- form the Trustees to-morrow night, backing the statement with data of va- rious kinds. He will show how tempt- ing a field Berkeley offers to cracks- men and ordinary crooks who can come from San Francisco, operate in the college town and quickly make their egress by way of five car lines, two county roads and other methods of es- cape. He will remind the Trustees that Berkeley covers an area of nine square miles and has seven policemen besides the Chief who are obliged to cover the down day and night. The department is without patrol wagons or police tel- egraph alarm boxes. Sacramento, he will state, has a pop- ulation of about 85,000, covers four and a half square miles and has twenty-four policemen, patrol wagon and alarm boxes. San Jose, with 27.000 popula- tion, covering six square miles, has twenty-two policemen, two patrol wagons and twenty-two patrol boxes. Fresno, with 20,000 population, has twenty policemen to cover a territory ot four and a half square miles. Stock- ton, with 20,000 population, covering four square miles, has eighteen police- men and a patrol wagon. Alameda, with 19,000 population, has-sixteen po- licemen and fourteen alarm boxes. Pasadena, population of 21,000, has thirteen policemen, San Diego, popu- lation 80,000, has sixteen policemen. HAM AND EGGS THIEFS LO0T Takes a Few Oysters and a Little Butter, Also Couple of Dollars From Restaurant BANTA ROSA, Jan. 21.—The officers ar- rested G. R. Albin here Saturday night and charged him with burglarizing the Star restaurant some time during the night previous. Later at night Albin con- fessed to the police that he was the right man and also admitted that he had robbed the place once before. Ei ham, butter, oysters and $2 in cash were taken Friday night, while on the previous oc- cision six pounds of steak were taken. In his confession to the officers Albin said he gave his wife part of the stolen money and that she knew where it came from. In consequence Mrs. Albin was also ar- rested and charged with being an ac- complice. He declared that she also knew where he obtained the other articles he brought home. PLANS OF LABORITES IN NEW PARLIAMENT LONDON, Jan, 21.—Ramsey McDonald, secretary of the Independent Labor party, asserted to-day that the successes of the Laborite candidates was due to the fact that his organization had captured the Tory workingmen, who, for the first time, had realized the possibility of being rep- resented in Parllament by men of their own class and of their own selection, pledged to act and vote in absolute inde- pendence of all other partles. McDonald said that the members of the independent wing of the Laborite party already elected numbered twenty-three, and that by the time the elections were coneluded they probably would number twenty-seven, with the support of 165 trades unions representing a membership of nearly a million workers. These mem- bers of Parliament would have their own leader and their own whips, and probably would sit on the opposition side in the House of Commons. They intended, how- ever, to adopt no revolutionary policy, and had no idea of harrassing the - ernment, their purpose being rather to devote themselves to perfecting their or- j ganizatlon, with a view of increasing thelr strength. i The immediate object of the Indepen- dent Labor party, M sald, was to in order to protect the empire against the ‘“Jingoes.” He said his party would work hard in advocacy of international peace and he expected great help from the strong labor parties in France and Germany.

Statement Explaining Why Two Men Were Barred OBJECTS TO INACCURACY Instructor Believes That His Classroom Should Be All for Bona Fide Students BERKELEY, Jan. 2..—Misleading and incorrect statements made in varfous quarters regarding Professor George H. IHowlson'l action in declining to admit student reporters to his course in psychology at the university have In- spired Professor Howison to send out for publication a statement which is cal- culated to make his position understood. Two student journalists, B. 1. Fisher and J. D. Van Becker, last week regis- tered in Professor Howison’s course, In- forming the distinguished Instructor that { they desired to make notes of his lec- tures, for use in college publications or elsewhere.. Professor Howison declined to permit them to utilize his teachings for such a purpose. His statement, correct- ing inaccuracies that have occurred in re- ports of this matter, is in part as follows: Van Becker and Fisher stated at the -very outset of our interview that they wished to euter the class and attend the lectures for the express purpose of getting aterial for Te- Ports to be printed in thelr college newspaper. They even admitted that this exercise of their functions as news editors of the Dally Cali- fornian was the main interest that led them to apply for enrollment. It was on this ground alone that I refused to receive them. I hold that no reporter for any newspaper, gollege or other, has any right to exercisehig calling {n my lecture-room, or in any other professor's, any more than a man of any other has g right to come in and carry on his trade or professlon there. The only persons who can properly be admitted there ro those genuinely engaged in the work of the course for its own sake, and without any current objects outside or afterward. As for the young men’s pretext that they wanted to report matter at thelr pleasure which they might deem of public interest, I told them that I could not entertaln the pro- posal of unybody's reporting me, unless the professed Teports were always submitted 6 me for approval, and if necessary, revision and As T could not afford the time for such revision, and as, moreover, thc whole rela- tion was . intolerable. I refused to entertain their proposal in the form in which they made it. I added that, of course, they were welcome to come as students, bona fide and simply, but that they must come in that way or mot at all; that the proposition to make the lecture- Toom a reporting block wae absurd, and not 10 be allowed. If they came, they must pledge me their word that they should not exercise thelr news-collecting function in respect to my course. This they refused to promise, and I accordingly sald they must accept my decision, and prepared to take leave of them. I did not, of course, make the stupid state- ment printed that “‘I would fight the matter to a finish if the authoritles decide that I must al- low newspaper men to register in my courses.’” 1 told the young men, on the contrary, that they might earry thelr case to the university authorities if they thought it worth while, but that I had no belfef that the Regents would make any such requirement of a professor. At any rltt,nlhwn: .ur.;‘lmy ‘would takc no such action without first giving me a hearing and §°§es conndent y et Tot 80 ordatn atter they had heard me. or 4ia I make the still der_statement that our city newspapers 3o ol hestiats to say that it is the money side of the proposition they are looking toward, first of all.”” The newspapers themselves would be the last to admit such o charge, even if they deserved it. MINERS CAUCUSING ON WAGE SCHEDULE Report of Scalz Committee to Reach Operators Next Thursday. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. 2L.—Re- newed caucusing to-day among the dele- gates to the United Mine Workers’ con- vention from the anthracite coal mining regions Indicates that there is to be an- other and more determined effort to inject the anthracite question into the delibera- tions of the delegates. It 1s bardly probable that the scale will be reported until late to-morrow or Tues- day morning. The report of the scale committee will be read behind closed doors and be religiously guarded until it is presented to the operators in joint con- ference pext Thursday, PITTSBURG, Jan. 21.—The Post to- morrow will say: ‘‘A completed draft of the wage demands that are to be pre- sented by the United Mine Workers to the operators at Indianapolls was obtained from reliable sources to-day, It shows one decided change in policy over the férmer agreements of these interests. The miners are now asking for only a one- year agreement, instead of the present two-year scale. “The other demands include a straight advance of 12% per cent for all miners and mine laborers: all bituminous districts to be admitted to the conference, where they are represented by both mine workers and operators; a 7-cent differential to be es- tablished between pick and machine min- ing, on the mine run basis; a uniform day wage scale to be pald to all classes of day labor; boys under 16 years of age not to be permitted to work in or about the mines.” BAD MONEY IS USED BY PAIR OF WOMEN Bogus Paper Ping Circulat- ed in Los Angeles by Cievet Team.

P. Termi- nal in Elmhurst Brings In- creased Demand for Realty s e OAKLAND, Jan. 2L—Within the next ninety days another of the landmarks of | Oakland, a relic of the pioneer days, will have been demolished to make way for the march of progress. The latest of the old-time buildings to be marked for de- struction is the old Tubbs home, on East Twelfth street, between Fifth and Sixth avenues. The mansion, which was erected by Hiram Tubbs, the ploneer founder of the Tubbs Cordage Company of San Fran- cisco, has been the scene in days gone by of some of the most brilliant social func- tions on the eastern shore of the bay, and nearly all of the early mining kings of California have been entertalned within its walls at various times since the early sixties. The grounds of the old mansion occupy the entire block between Hast Twelfth and BEast Fourteenth streets, and Fifth and Sixth avenues, and the sale of this biock has just been effected by the Home Real Estate Company, in conjunction with Jeffries & Thomas, and the pur- chaser intends to begin the demolition of the residence within the next two months, to make room for a number of modern homes. The same dealers have also just sold block 30 of the Tubbs estate, on which two modern residences will be erected at once. The sale of the Tubbs home recalls the tragic deaths of both the sons of Hiram Tubbs, who erected his handsome home in the belief that it would be the home of his family for generations, but this his fondest wish was never realized. Frank Tubbs, the eldest son, while temporarily insane from the effects of brain fever, committed suicide by shooting himself, and Herman, the younger son, was killed in a runaway accident in Marin County. Each of the daughters of the family was provided with a home as a wedding pres- ent, and now the family mansion is to be torn down to make way for structures of more modern character. The steady rains of the last week have caused a lull in the operations of the local real estate market, and but few large sales have been recorded, owing to the fact that prospectiwe purchasers pre- fer to postpene the inspection of property until pleasant weather. There have, how- ever, been a large number of small sales of residence property, all of the local dealers having had a share of the busi- ness. Articles of incorporation have just been filed by the Claremont Land Company, with a capital stock of $100,000. The direc- tors of the new company are Wickham Havens, J. H. Spring, F. C. Havens, Dun- can McDuffie and Louis Titus, and the principal offices of the company will be in Berkeley. The Karl H. Nickel Company has re- cently flled articles of incorporation for a general real estate business. The main office of the new company will be in this city. The capital stock of the company 1s $25,000, and the directors are Karl Nickel, H. Nickel, Harvey B. Lindsay and Ruth B. Nickel. The establishment of the new terminal of the Southern Pacific Company at East ‘Fourteenth street and Deering avenue has caused a great Increase in the demand for property in the neigh- borhood of the new terminal, now known as Austin station. Howland & McArthur, who have a large list of property in the vicinity of the new station, report the following sales since the establishment of the new terminal a week ago: To Merritt & Wolcott, lots opposite Austin station, $1000; to Mrs. Paine of San Francisco, a seven-room house at Bast Fourteenth street and Twenty-fifth avenue; to Mrs. Geist of Illinols, five- room house at High street and the Hay- wards boulevard; Mr. Gillis of Scotland, a four-room house and lot at Fitchburg, $1800; to Mr. Hansen of Denver, Colo., a four-room house and lot on Bryant street, opposite Austin station; to Addison Good- rich, corner lot opposite Austin station. One of the largest deals of the last week was the purchase of twenty acres of land adjoining the Claremont Country Club, by P. E. Bowles and a number of others. It is believed that the land will be added to the present preserves of the d"l"‘!’x‘e proposed continuation of the Fifty- fifth street line of the Key Route has caused a marked increase in the number of sales of property in North Oakland and the Pledmont district. Among the largest of these sales are two reported by J. H. Macdonald & Co., the first being the purchase of a lot 165x100 feet on the southwest corner of Broadway and Edith street by T. W. Huntington from L. E. Boardman. The other was the sale of a lot 100x100 feet on the northeast corner of Broadway and Florence street by Thomas Moran to A. S. Macdonald. ‘Another large sale was that of the northwest corner of Twenty-third street and Telegraph avenue by the Hibernia Bank to B. W. Ewing. This deal was closed through the office of M. L. Wurts. —_————————— VESSEL’S CREW MUTINIES. fuses to Put to Sea in Schooner Dam~ "' aged by Gale. VICTORIA, B. C., Jan. 21.—The four- master schooner M.
