ALAMEDA, Jan. 235.—There is a clash between the Bank of Alameda and the sens’ Bank of Alameda, which re- y filed articles of incorporation | the County Clerk over the title lected by the new finacial nstitution. E. K. Taylor, attorney for the Bank of Alameda, holds that the Citizens’ Bank of Alameda has no right to use the| words “Bank of Alameda” and it is| probable that the matter will be uxeni before the Secretary of State with a view to having the dispute settled | tertal. OAKLAND, Jan. 28.—Enraged because his father, Manuel Guido, had rebuked him for carelessness and had ordered him to go home, Manuel J. Guido, 2 years old, this morning shot and wound- ed the former, wounded Manuel Vierra, who attempted to prevent him from kill- ing his father, and then ran downstairs into the basement of the East Oakland saloon, where the shooting took place, and committed suicide by shooting him- self through the head. Neither the father nor Vierra was seriously wounded by the bullets from Guido's pistol, the former receiving a slight flesh wound in the small ©f the back, the latter being shot in the right shoulder. The shooting took place at a saloon at 800 Bast Fourteenth street, of which the | elder Guido is the proprietor, shortly be- fore noon to-day. The son had opened the saloon and was behind the bar when his father came Into the place about 10 o'clock. After a few minutes’ conversa- tion with his son Guldo went into the grocery at 802 Bast Fourteenth street, of which he is also the proprietor, to do some work on his books. While in the of- | fice of the store one of the patrons of the saloon entered and told him his son made — HOLDS RECORD More Big Sales of Oakland Real Fstate Are Made “RAZED MAN WOUNDS]IPENNG HONTH [UNARRED HAN NOVE THE ARKS [WANT BETTER TWO AND ENDS LIFE.

OAKLAND, Jan. 28—The members of Company N, League .of the Cross Cadets, have now completed arrange- ments for a whist tournament to be given at St Mary's Hall at Seventh and Grove streets, on Wednesday even- ing, January 31, for the benefit of the uniform fund of the company. The members of the committee in charge of the affair are: P. H. Nickolas, chair. man; George Ahern, J. P. Flannery, John Sheeban and J. P. Callaghan. e —— NO GAME AT OAKLAND, OAKLAND, Jan. 28—No football game was played this afternoon at Freeman's Park between the Albion Rovers and the Santa Crus eleven, ow- ing to non-arrival of the men from Santa Crux a mistake in serving an order and had given him whisky instead of wine. Guido went into the saloon and asked his son what the trouble was, and was told to mind his own business. He tried to reason with the young man, but the latter flew into a rage, and after a heated argument Guido told his son to leave the saloon, as he was not in a condition to take care of the business. This command only intensified (the rage of the son, who suddenly drew a revolver from his pocket and told his father that he would kill him if he did not leave the place at once. SON OPENS FIRB. Realizing that he was only Imperiling his own life by attempting to argue with the maddened man, the elder Guido walked from behind the bar and started for the door of the saloon. Just as he reached the entrance his son fired a shot at him, which struck him in the small of the back, and would have proved fatal had the leaden missle not been deflected from its course by a suspender button. The bullet, glancing on the metal, inflicted a slight flesh wound in the mus- cles of the back, and then went through one of the windows of the saloon. A second shot narrowly missed Guido as he sprang through the door, the bul- let lodging in the woodwork of the door. Vierra, who was seated near the bar when the shooting began, made a rush for the would-be murderer, intending to wrest the pistol from him before he could do more damage, but he was met by a bullet which struck him in the shoulder, knocking him down. Stagger- ing to his feet Vierra cried to Guido, who still stood behind the bar with pistol pointed at him, “You are a nice man, you have killed your father, and now you want to kill me.” Vierra's words seemed to sober the rage maddened man, and without making any attempt to use his weapon again, he ran from behind the bar and went down stairs into the basement of the saloon and grocery. In the meantime his father had run into the grocery to summon the police and while he was at the tele- phone Guido's 10-year-old brother, Ernest, who had been left in the store when his father went into the saloon, heard a shot in the celiar. Ranning down the basement stalrs, the boy stumbled .over the body of his elder brother, which was lyIng near the foot of the stairway, and by the dim light he could see that blood was flowing from a wound in his brother's head. Badly frightened, the boy ran upstairs and told his father that Manuel had killed himselt in the cellar. Guido moned a doctor. The message sent to the poll WAS re- ceived by Captain of Police W. J, Peter- sen, who hurried to the scene of the shooting. When he arrived Guido was breathing faintly, but he died in a few moments. The body was later removed to the Morgue. FATHER'S NARROW ESCAPE. The wounds of Guido and Vierra were dressed by Dr. Sill, who sald that neither was serious, although he said that had not the bullet which struck Another large January sale, reported by the Laymance Real Estate Company, is that of the lot at the southeast cor- ner of Eleventh and Clay streets, on which the Maccabee Temple Is located. The sale was made for Thomas Moran to Ray Silverstein, and the price paid was $40,000. The establishment of the new ter- minal at East Fourteenth street and Deering avenue by the Southern Pacific Company has increased the value of property in the immediate vicinity of the new station of Austin more than 150 per cent in the last three weeks. Owners of property for which $§14 a front foot was asked prior to the es- tablishment of the new station are now holding the same lots at $40 a front foot, and are not anxious to sell even at that figure. It is announced that the Southern Pacific Company intends to erect a handsome passenger station and also to remove the freight station now located at Sather to the new terminal. Sternberg, Chisholm & Lindberg re- port the best January business in the history of Alameda County, especially in improved property. Sternberg said to-day that the high scale of rents in San Francisco is driving many people to seek homes on-this side af the bay. Langenour & Porter, a new real estate firm of Berkeley, have just opened offices on the fourth floor of the First National Bank building. Both members of the firm are former well- known bankers of Yolo County. David Craig, well known in Berkeley real estate circles, has also opened an office in the same building. D. W. McLaughlin and H. A. Sully have recently entered the real estate business in Berkeley, and' have just moved into their new offices in the First National Bank building. Hammond & Hammond of Alameda, in a recent report of their business for the last year, announce sixty-one sales of residence property in the Encinal City, an average of five sales for each month of the year. —_———— SOCIALISTS' SUNDAY-SCHOOL. OAKLAND, Jan. 28.—The first Soclal- ist Sunday-school to be inaugurated on the Pacific Coast was opened to-day in this city at the local headquarters of the Soclalist party, at 405 BEighth street, the services beginning at 11 a. m. More' than 100 children were enrolled as members of the new institution at the opening service and it is expected that this number will be increased next week.

P. C. Mactarlane at the Christian Church to-night. His text, “For as the woman is of the man, so is the n also by the woman; but all things are of God,” was taken from First Corinthians, x1:12. He said in part: 1 consider to-night the unmarried man in relation to soclety. A set of duties confront the unmarried woman which are quite differ- ent from those confronting the married woman, and a like set of duties confromt the unmarried man, which are somewhat different from thoss oopfronting his merried brother. All men are dévendent upon each other. This is truer with each paseing generation as clety becomes more complex. The man sponsible for peace in the family, but so is the woman. The unmarried woman {» respon- sible for the performance of certain duties 10 soclety, but o is the unmarried man. Ho hould know that the married state ls the natural state of man. Franklin used to say that the unmarried man is only half a man. God made woman to be a Felpmeet for man, and the man who coes through life without a partner has missed at least one-half of life—half of its joys and half of its sorrows. No man has really en- tered into life’s experience until he has known what it is to stand with a woman by his side and pledge his honor to her and receive the pledge of her heart's love in return. And then his experiences have only begun. The married state not only opens the door to life's fullest experiences as such, but it opens the Rate to the purest ane renest joys. There is a mu- tuality in the marriage relation; there is also an exclusiveness in not live for himsel wifo does not live for herself; ehe liv both. Woman is an admirable foil of man. She reveals him. She holds the mirror up to nature. But the man she reveals is not some other than her hueband. She rev him to himself and for himself. We often hear the question, ‘“Well, I won- der what he sees in her to attract him?" or “What she finds In him?' That Is just what the unmarried do not eee and never can see. No man has known the hixhest bliss until some woman's eyes have looked into his with the deep trustfulness of an abiding love, until his own heart has throbbed resvonsively to hers, until their soul's emotions have kindled the noblest emotions the human mind can entertain. The marriage relation is the one upon which soclety is based, and without which our pubilc morals would descend to the level of the poul: try yard. What is the basis of the home The marriage relation. Out of what did come into the world? Out ot wedlock. Where are peace and love and character building found? Im the home, Every man owes it to himself, to posterity, to society, to _bulld around himself a home. We hear foolish dis- cussions @s to whether marriage {s a failure or not, and we have many men imagining that it is a feilure. My dear bachelor, If you marry wisely and give yourself loyally to the making of a bappy home the chances are more than 99 in a 100 that your marriege will be successful. TUse ordinary discretion in the selection of a wife and you meed have no ":y’:a‘.opt;lr%.u' future happiness. Keep your - fore marrioge and half shut afterward Many a mun goes into matrimony 8s he goes into a football scrimmage—with his head down. Another temptation to delay marrying is that vou wait to make your pile. Men have too exaggerated_conceptions of what is necessary to make a happy home. Wedded happiness 1s Dot built on style or cash; It is bullt on love. ‘While the bachelor walts to wed he may be missing much happiness and often misses the miss, perhaps. Worst of all he is accumulat- ing a certain number of rigidities of habit and character which may form obstructions over which the matrimonial boat may bump in after years. ¥ Often marriage is a failure because man, has made the mistake of getting a wife ten or fif- teen yvears after it is too late. Another temp- tation is to avoid the responsibilities of mar- ried life and try to secure selfish comforts. These are days when the unmarried man may secure many of the comforts of home without any of its responsibilities. This is a great danger. It is against his physical nature. It makes him a rous element in soclety. It keeps alive, what, for euphonious reasons, we call the social evil, It makes man an enemy o virtue. It }l'l the duty of the unmarried man to protect the virtue of womankind. He should regard all women &s in need of such B'roue— tion. He should show-such respect by his attitude toward wives and husbands. There are men so unprincipled as to enter homes and lead captive silly women. Do not own such a man as your friend.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. - 28.—Morris Buck, who murdered Mrs. C. A. Canfleld yesterday without provocation, is be- lieved to be mentally irresponsible. It is more than probable that the only penalty that can be imposed is that of committing him to an asylum. and al- though that has, of course, not been officlally determined, still the man’'s manner, the very way in which he pre- pared for the murder, the absence of motive or provocation and, more im- portant still, his past record, indicate that he is insane. The records of the County Hospital show that in October, 1903, he was con- "fined In the insane ward for several weeks and his case was considered hopeless. He was taken away by rela- tives, the case not being prosecuted be- cause the patient was not considered dangerous. He is a morphine fiend and | the use of the drug has reduced him to such an extent that he can hardly walk. and has not even mentioned the mur- ‘When questioned by the detectives he whined that his reason for killing Mrs. Canfield was because she would not let him have $3800 with which to embark in business.

If this proposition goes through, Sausalito will be afforded bet- ter fire protection and the insurance rates will be very materially reduced. The present insurance rates are very high, owing to the scarcity of water. The North Shore Raliroad Company has tendered to the town the free use of its powerful electric pump and loaned it many hundred feet of fire hose. As the pump derives its water supply from the bay and can force a powerful stream a long distance with- out much effort, the local fire depart- ment with their own equipment can now readily reach many of the prine this town will have to raise their an- chors and go to another anchorage be- fore May 1.

LOCKE WRITING A NEW NOVEL Also at Work Turning Other Book Into Drama Which Forbes Robertson May Act Special Dispatch to The Cali LONDON, Jan. 28.—William J. Locke, whose novel, “The Morals of Marcus Ordeyne,” was deservedly one of the really big successes of last year, Is rather a busy man at present. To be- gin with he is writing a new novel and the few intimate friends to whom its opening chapters have been read are inclined to think it will be as good if not a better plece of work than his last book. The plot of it was outlined to the writer in confidence, but I do not think Locke will mind my stating that its central figure is quite as definite and unusual a character as Marcus Ordeyne himself. He is a confirmed bobhemian, however, and utterly unlike the erud- ite philosopher whom Locke drew for us as lover of the sweet child from the East whom he found wandering on the Thames Embankment. As usual with this writer, the scene of his new romance is London of to- day'and in the course of the story some rather odd types, only to be met with in the bohemian circles of the metrop- olis, will be introduced. Meanwhile, in such time as he can spare from his book, Locke is working on a dramatization of “The Morals of Marcus Ordeyne,” in which Forbes Robertson, who staged Kipling's “Light That Failed,” is much inter- ested. At the first blush, it is true, one does not see a play in Locke's book, which is more concerned with feel- ings than with actions, but I under- stand that for stage purposes the au- thor has several little departures from the original story in mind that may make all the differénce. That the novel contains material, for some really ex- quisite scenes is unquestionable, and it also a fact that Forbes Robertson would be aimost one’s ideal Sir Marcus. Incidentally this is not Locke's first though it is his most important dra- matic work, a one-act play of his, called “Mr. Cynic,” having been pro- duced at the Royalty Theater in 1899, and another, named “The Lost Legion,” having been scen at the great Queen- street Theater in 1300. In spite of his plentiful literary work, however, Mr. Locke has not felt it necessary to withdraw from the po- sition which he has held for several years of secretary of the Royal Insti- tute of British Architects.

SAN RAFaEL Jan 28.—Several prominent women connected with St Paul's Episcopal Church have organized a society which will be known as “The Church Ald Society.” They elected as president Mrs. Sidney B.

The purpose of the new soclety is to do charitable work and foster the Dest interests of the church. * The society has 2 good and Influential membership. fraternity should prove to be a bone of contention between two brothers. But such is the wide divergence be- tween what they preach and what they practice that the two men in question have carried their difference to a French court of law. The song about which they have quarreled is the fam- qus revolutionary chant, “L'Interna- tionale.” It is admitted on both sides that the words were written by one Pottier, a member of the Paris Com- mune, in 1571, and appeared in a col- lection of verses published at the ex- pense of the song writer Nadaud. Adolphe de Geyter, who claims to have composed the music, recently au- thorized Mme. Hayard, the widow of the famous “Emperor of the Camelots.” who died not long ago, to publish It But Adolphe's brother, Plerre, seeks to restrain Mme. Hayard from so doing on the ground that he, Plerre, and not Adolphe, is the real composer of the air beloved of French and other So- clalists. The courts will have to decide between the rival claimants unless meanwhile they should settle their dif- ference in that spirit of fraternity whereof one sees a good deal less than one hears in this Imperfect world.
