OAKLAND, Jan. 29.—At a meeting of the Board of Supervisors to-day. with a number of representatives of the State Board of Charities and Correc- tions for the purpose of considering jail facilities of Alameda County, it was decided that it would be useless to at- tempt to repalr the present structure and that when a new one built that it would cost fully $100,000, At the meeting were J. K. McLean, 0. K. Cushing and W. A. Gates of the State Board of Charlties. Gates. as a practical jail bullder, gave it as his opinion that a jail suitable for' the needs of Alameda County could not be built for less than $150,000. He said that the present institution was far from what it should be. A new jajl can be built from the funds taken from three fiscal years. ———pal AUTO STRIKES WAGON.

Before they separated each knew the other fairly well. - Clemens did not shy at Congress, but Congress did shy a little at Mark Twain. A Mark Twain was the first thing that attracted the attention of Congress. From the floor and the other gaileries he looked like Chief Justice Fuller. After watch- ing his hair for a time, Congress—at least the bigger part of it, the Senate—de- cided to get better acquainted and Colonel George J. M. Harvey and Clemens were invited to come down and see the Vice President. Both of them had heard of the frostiness of Fairbanks. They went into his room much as they would go | Into the refrigerating room of the beef trust—with collars turned up and with their hands In their pockets. The Vice President glided into the room., Everybody, including Fairbanks, tried to be cordial. The Vice President shook hands with Harvey first, Then he warmed | up and gave Clemens' hand a littie squeeze—the kind of a handshake that is known mn Indiana as the “ice tongs After shaking hands, Fairbanks looked at Clemens’ hair, and later looked as though he would like to know him better, so that he might ask what was the tonic that he used. Thinking it over, Fairbanks carefully brushed four hairs over his bald spot. The Vice President was just about to present the visitors with his autographed | photographs when other Senators came romping in and insisted that Clemens and Colonel Harvey take luncheon with, them in the Senate restaurant. { “We lunched and lied together,” Clem- ens said, in describing the luncheon. “We would take a bite of pie and then in- dulge In a few flights of imagination. Oh, no, no! The Senators did not eat pie with their knives—at least none of them that 1 saw; but, of course, you know, I was pretty busy. myself and could not watch all of them. I was really impressed by these Senators.”” ¥ Clemens said he could not listen to the debate intelligently as he could hear none of it. Senator Tillman, who was talking, will be much surprised at this. | He can generally be heard out in the corridors, ““What were the flights of imagination?” repeated Mark Twain, in ansiver to a question. *‘Oh, they were said in open session and nothing ever said by a Sen- ator in open session amounts to much. Had they been said in executive session I would have made notes on my cuff or have written them on the back of an en- velope, but before going to the Senate 1 was warned that nobody—at least, no real weighty Senator—ever said anything in open: gession. I guess that's true. We had a most delightful time. And a good luncheon.” % After being shown over the Senate part of the building, Mark Twain and Colonel Harvey went over to the House, where Clemens held an {nformal reception. “A Congressman appears to have such a happy, care-free existence,” said Clem- ens. ‘‘He slaps the Speaker on the back and saye ‘Hello, Joe; how's things?" '8 real democratic, but who ever ot @ Senator clapping the Vice President on the back and saying ‘Hello, Charley, how's things? Why, he would need either a step ladder or have to stand on top of a barrel.” Clemens will return to New York to- mMOorrow, ~——~‘.’o—.—— OYCLIST CRACKS SKULL, ALAMEDA, Jan. 29.—Edward Court- ney, 16 years of sge, and the son of Mr. and Mrs. Danlel Courtney of 2055 San Antonio avenue, is suffering brain con&um:]n m;d & fracture of skull as a result of taking & “header” from a bieycle.

NEW YORK, Jan, 20.—Officers of the Liverpool steamship Indrasamha were thankful when that vessel reached port to-day. They had a strenuous trip from Singapore with a passenger list consisting mostly of snakes, monkeys, leopards and bintrungs, a kind of wildcat. Five pythons in the consignment, three of them twenty feet long each and aver- aging 270 pounds, broke loose from their boxes while the ship was coming through the Indian Ocean. The mate ;Wag-enjoy- ing a cigar In his stateroom’ and Captaln Craven was in the chart room when they were startled by a series of shrieks. They rushed on deck to find the Lascars, who made up part 0f the ¢réw, trying to climb into- the rigging. Clinging to the main shroud, with its tail lashing the air at a furious rate, was one of the largest pythons. Another 25-foot snake was pounding the deck. The mate ran for a hatchet and Cap- tain Craven sought a gun. “The Lascars were bawling at the top of their lungs. The captain and officers managed to get seven Chinese and two Japanese, who were members of the crew, to aid them in fighting the snakes. One of the Chi- nese had been in the theatrical business. He procured a rope, and after a dozen at- tempts succeeded in lassoing the python that was clinging to the main rigging. It took the Chinese, Japanese and Eng- lishmen four hours to capture the other snake. An orang outang disappeared while the vessel was in the Red Sea. They searched the ship for him, and when it was decided that he had fallen over the side and was probably lest, one of the sdflors pointed to the patent log that was floating in the water in the wake of the ship. There was the orang outang clinging to the log line. He was haulea in, more dead than alive. The belief is that he fell overboard and swam for the log line. The orang outang ran amuck after that and tried to stab one of the Chinese cooks. CHAUFFEUR WHO DROVE SCHMITZ IS FINED LOS ANGELES, Jan. 29—R. 'T. Smith and T. Seger, the chauffeurs who were arrested yesterday by mounted policemen while driving Mayor Schmitz of San Francisco and hls party at an alleged excessive rate of speed on North Main street, failed to appear in court to-day as ordered and bench warrants were issued for their arrest. Smith was apprehended and brought into court. He pleaded gullty to the charge of violating the speed law and was fined $15, which he paid. Seger was not found to-day.

Broadway, by Detective Quigley and turned over to United States Postal Inspector R. W. Madden A short time ago the postal Inspec tors complained to the local police that the Government was being vic- timized by a man who was cashing stolen money orders. Woodward was traced and to-day was caught while «aking a letter from the rack at the Jalifornia Hotel. He is charged specifically with the theft of a money order for $20 sent from Joseph MclInnis, San Jose, to Alaxander McInnis. It was cashed at Sub-Station 1, and McInnis' indorse- ment, it is charged, was forged. The police say Woodward, who was for- merly a postoffice clerk in an Eastern city, has confessed that he has com- mitted many similar offenses, MOZART’S BIRTHDAY FITTINGLY OBSERVED Above the center of the stage at Na- cve Sons’ Hall last evening hung a large portrait of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, one of the greatest of all the brilliant ar- ray of German musical geniuses. He was petted in his youth by Marie Antoinette, but when his genius had fully ripened he was destined to fill an unmarked pauper’s grave. Around the portrait were green vines to signalize the immortality of his fame. On the stage on a stand stood a bust of Mozart, which was draped with the na- tional colors of Germany. At each side of the portrait were festooned American flags. The portrait, bust and the mingled colors of Germany and the United States told the story of the evening very well. The one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the birth of the great composer was celebcated by the German-American League of California. Musicians of great ability sang and piayed from the works of Mozart. Orators teld of his busy and simple life. A house full of German-Americans apulauded the Mozart works as they were rendered. A male chorus sang the “Bundeslied.” Mrs. Lillie Birmingham, Miss H. C. Heath, Mackenzie Gordon, Basil Tetson and Dr. S. Schalkhammer sang selections from the overas *“Marriage of Figaro,” "Ido- meneo,” “Don Giovanni,” “The Magic Fiute” and also a quartet from Mozart's “Requiem.” The Kopta quartet played a string quartet in E flat major. Mrs. Os- car Mansfeldt played a concerto in A major, accompanied by the Kopta quar- tet. Whatever there was of gay or grave, of poetic or dramatic, in the selections on the programme was brought out with a rare degree of loving care and fidelity. There were fifteen long numbers, all im- portant. In addition to the music J. Hermann, the president of the German-American League, Alfred Réncovieri and Dr. F. Kucken spoke in eulogy. The entire per- formance was impressive, illustrative and | fitting. s B Vel OBSERVE MOZARTS BIRTHDAY. A Mozart programme in commemora- tion of the 150th anniversary of the birth of the celebrated composer was rendered last night by the .pupils of Madam von Meyerinck's schoo] of mu- sic.

SAN RAFAEL, Jan. 29.—The trial of the Finigan divorce suit was resumed this morning before Judge Thomas J. Lennon. Miss Maude Finigan occupled the witness | stand during the forenoon and part of the afternoon. She was cross-examined very closely by Attorney J. W. Dorsey for the ‘ prosecution on the question of residence. The witness testified she and her sisters | were always asking Finigan to purchase a home in San Francisco. She declared she | never heard any one say “that Colonel Finigan did not deserve such a good wife as Mrs. Finigan.” In response to a ques-l tion regarding the dressmaking done by ! Mrs. Finigan, she stated that a dress- | maker had been employed for three years by the family, apd that her stepraother lver,\' often heiped her. The witness re- membered that there was a dispute at the table at Del Monte in the presence of | Mrs. Eleanor Martin and others. She’ could not distinetly remember the details. She did not know who paid the bills at the Hotel Rafael, but believed her father did. Miss Lillian Finigan occupie. the stand for a briet period. Her testimony was practically the same as that of her sister. Colonel Finigan was placed on the stand by the defense. According to his replies to the queries of his attorney, James P. Sweeney, he was a model husband, whose ‘principal thought was the welfare of his wife and children. There was nothing too good for his family, he said, and he ex- ceeded his means to provide them with clothing and place them in soclety. He flatly denied every allegation in the com- plaint. 3 Finigan said he came to San Rafael early in September, 189, securing a win- ter rate at the Hotel Rafael, with the in- tention of remaining there. Some time be- fore making_his quarters at the Hotel Rafael he came here- with the intention of purchasing a home and looked over the town with a local real estate agent. Be- fore thig time, he said, he and his wife had had a few rows. but they had been settled and he felt that he and Mrs. Fini- gan wera on better terms than ever. There was nothing too good for Mrs. Fini- gan, said the witness.» While Finigan was relating how solicitous he was for his wife's weifare during her thirty-five days” illness at the Hotel Baltimore in San Francisco the fair plaintiff smiled broad- ly. Finigan emphatically denied that while he and his wife were traveling in Europe he threatened her life with a re- volver and accused her of misbehavior. He admitted curtalling her credit in sev- eral prominent San Francisco business houses, saying he was obliged to do so on account of her extravagance. He directed the firms to send anything she ordered to the house, collect on delivery. He sald he was anxious to have her and the children make a good appearance and move in the best society. Frequently, said Finigan, he and his wife would go to wholesale milliners and purchase a bushel basket full of ribbons, feathers and miliiner's findings. LNESTOCK MEN JON INTERESTS DENVER, Jan. 29.—All the detalls for confolidating the National Live- stock Association and the American Cattle Growers’ Association, even to the selection of a name for the new organ- ization, were agreed to to-night at a meeting of representatives of the two associations, held at the Brown Palace Hotel. The name decided upon is the American National Livestock Associa- tion. The plan outlined at the joint meeting of the executive committees of the two assoclations held in this city in October of last year was ratified and additional changes in the constitution and by-laws agreed to, the most impor- ‘tant of which is the future representa- tions at conventions and the arrange- ment to admit associations, State and otherwise, to membership in the body. Under the new plan of representation no proxies will be allowed, only dele- gates who present themselves at meet- ings being allowed to vote. The exec- utive committee of the new organiza- tion will be made large enough to per- mit of sub-committees transportation, stockyards and stock exchanges, sanitation, forest re- serves and grazing lands and foreign and home markets. Grievances affect- ing any Interest conmected with the livestock industry, whether it be the stock raiser, the railroads, the packer, the commission man, will be given at- tention by the proper sub-committee. The agreement made to-night will be submittsd to the joint meeting of the two associations to-morrow for approval. No one can be found to-night who doubts that the delegates at the jeint conven- tien will give the plan unanimous indorse- ment. The men who worked out the amalgamation scheme were appointed by the presidents of the two associations upon authorization of their respective ex- ecutive committees. I John W..

Gooding's ankle was badly crushed between the auimal's powerful Jaws. The smaller bones in the foot were terribiy crushed. Gooding was rushed to the Park Emergency Hospital, where Dr. Hlll together. Gooding was cleaning out the animal's stall when the brute suddenly reached down and seized him by the ankle. He tried to beat the dromedary back, but it held fast to his foot and he was thrown to the ground. The animal's feet were pressed against his breast, crushing the wind out of him, and it was some time before he could cry out for help. Steve Lawrence, head keeper of the menagerie, seeing Good- ing’s plight, rushed to his assistance with four assistant -keepers. The five went at the camel with pitchforks and crowbars and beat him off his victim with considerable difficulty. Though camels have been frequently known to attack their keepers by kick- ing at themt, this mode of attack is a new one on animal trainers. The brute that turned on Gooding is called Khedive and was imported from Egypt. Gooding’s stoicism in enduring the pain- ful operation excited the admiration of Dr. Hill. The wounded keeper sald: “I have heard of camels striking and kick- ing before, bui this stunt of biting Is a new one om me. The brute caught me unexpectedly. I will be all right. The only thing that I have to look out for is bloed poisoning.™ SECRETARY OF WAR DRAWS UP BILLS WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.—Secretary Taft to-day sent to Congress drafts of several important bills designed to increase the efficiency of the army. Accompanying each bill was a letter of transmittal ex- plaining it. The bills were Introduced to- day by Representative Hull, chairman of the House Committee on Military Affairs One of these measures provides for a separation of the fleld from the coast ar- tillery, retaining the corps organization for the latter.

Another bill is designed to provide a partial reserve for coast defense in case of actual or impending war. The bill pro- vides for a force of not to exceed 50,000 men, who will have served not less than one complete enlistment in the regular army. They are to be enlisted for five- year terms and to be carried on the rolis of the military secretary’s office; to be allowed to live where they please in the United States, but to be subject to call by the President for ten days each year for imstruction. and on the outbreak of a foreign war to be called into active service. Secretary Taft explains that the bill providea means of enabling the Presi- dent to comply with the act of February 2, 1901, to increase the army to 100,000 men in case of an emergency. The total cost Is estimated at about 32,000,000 a year.
