ALAMEDA, Feb. 5—Railroad mat- ters were to the fore at the meeting of the City Trustees to-night. Complaint was made by the Central Improvement Club that the Southern Pacific was not running the number of local trains on its north side line that the franchise calls for. The City Attorney was in- structed to request the railroad com- pany to comply with the terms of ite franchise. General W. H. H. Hart appeared be- fore the board on behalf of the applica- tion for two local steam railroad fran- chises filed by W. J. Morgan, and Wednesday night was named as a tfme for giving the Morgan applications fur- ther comsideration. Former State Sen- ator B. K.

McNulty will take the stand and admit that he was aboard the car that carried Miss Dorothy Olsen to Berkeley the night | of Nevember 5, 1905, when she was at-! tacked on a Jawn of the college town, has been the chief subject of speculation at the Courthouse to-day. There has been a persistent rumor that he would, but he denies that he will make any admissions save that he lost his overcoat the night of the attack. He says he will take the stand should his attorney deem it nece: sary to clear him of the charge that it/ girl. When the trial of McNulty was resumed | to-day before Judge T. W. Harris, Dis- trict Attorney Allen recalled J. A. Mar- shall for further cross-examination. La Friday | Marshall became heated and de-! fiant under Allen’s vigorous questioning, ! but he was calm and collected to-da while he continued to contradict the | statements of the girl who was employed | in his household. Marshall was followed by his wife, Mrs. Mamie Marshall, who also contradicted Miss Olsen, but the principal witness of the day for the de- fense was Policeman J. T. Farrar of Berkeley. “Miss Olsen sald positively that Me- Nulty was not the man who attacked her, that the ‘other man’ was the same height, but was darker than McNuity,” testified Farrar when asked about the happenings when he took McNulty to the Marshall repeated to-day that the girl told him five or six cars passed while she was struggling with the man on the lawn. AGAINST MISS OLSEN. “In answer to my questions she said the man who attacked her looked something my nephew,” sald Marshall, “and I to his home to see him. He was sur- prised and indignantly denied that he had seen the servant girl. Miss Olsen did not say she was pretty sure McNulty was the man.” “Didn’t you tell Marshal Vollmer that Miss Olsen was pretty sure, or very sure?”’ asked Judge Allen. = “I don’t remember having said that,” replied Marshall, who also denied that he had advised Miss Olsen to take $1000 and avoid the notoriety of prosecution. “Didn’t Vollmer caution you against ad- vising the girl to take money?" persisted Allen, but Frick’s objection to the ques- tion was sustained. Both Marshall and his wife, who fol- testified that Dorothy had never said that her gar- ments, other than her skirt, had been torn. Mrs. Marshall was positive that she had never advised the girl to take money or that she had told her that publicity would kill McNulty’s father and mother. And Mrs. Marshall was equally positive that the girl said five or six cars passed while she was on the lawn. The girl's testimony was that only two cars passed. On the oither hand, she testified the girl said she could keep the money and still prosecute her assailant, Mrs. Marshall denied almost every made on the stand relative to the money received. “Dorothy came into the kitchen and she was crying,” said Mrs. Marshall “She had the money and she sald ‘poor Lester’ looked so pale she was sorry for him. She also saild she felt sorry for his father, because he reminded her of her own father. She sald, however, that she had not received enough money, as it was worth $1000 to McNulty to avoid the notoriety.” Pcliceman Farrar testified that the girl told him only her skirt was torn and made no mention of the other garments that have been introduced in evidence. He also testified regarding her failure to identify McNulty when he took the de- fendant to see her November 7. TESTS FOR IDENTITY. “I had him stand in different positions in the light,” he said, “and gave her a view of him with his hat on and off and his glasses on and off. She said McNuity looked llke the man and that he was the same height, but that the ‘other man’ was darker. She sald positively before we left that McNulty was not the man.” On cross-examination Farrar denied in- timate acquaintance with McNulty, say- ing he had not talked to him more than fifteen times within fifteen years. He admitted being at Judge Frick’s office as late as 10 o'clock at night and of telling him what he knew about it. Regarding Archibald Alvis, the conduc- tor who identified McNulty as the man who had ridden in the car with Miss Olsen, Farrar saild that Alvis stood fac- ing McNuilty on- the trip to the Marshall home. Alvis bas sworn that McNuilty's back was toward him. Farrar said he did not ask Alvis to point out McNulty because he did not wish to attact the attention of the other passengers.. The cross-examination of Farrar ex- tended long into the afternoon, but his testimony was not materially changed. He denled emphatically that he had talked to Deputy Disrict Attorney Brown and had told him that he knew nothing about Alvis. 8. G. Masters, a newspaper man who interviewed Miss Olsen the day after the atiack, #aid it was his impresion that she sald five or six cars passed as she struggled with her assailant, but he was not sure. He said It might have been one of the Marshalls who made that state- ment. Policeman H. E. Jamieson, who was one of the witnesses for the prosecution, was called by the defense and he insisted that Alvis, the conductor, had told him he didn’t know whether the man now claimed to be McNulty had a beard or a mustache, or ‘wore glasses or not. All Alvis told him. he said, was that the man wore a deputy sheriff's badge which ‘was numbered either 20 or 21. Jamieson ®ot iwisted several times while being cross-examined, and was not nearly so good a witness for the defense as his brother policeman. \ If McNulty should take the stand the of the week. As it is his father and and brother will be called there are several other witnesses for the defense. There will be several witnesses in re- buttal, including Miss Oisen and probably ‘who will testify regarding conversations with Policemen Farrar and Jamieson, which they deny. ‘ MARRIAGE ASPHYXIATED IN A COLURADO MINE Y ELECTRICIAN, SRLY BERKELEY, WHO LOST HIS LIFE IN COLORADO MI Fa:cher of Young Elec- trician Will Bring Body Home, BERKELEY, Feb. 5—Noah Webster,a ploneer of Berkeley, after whom Webster street was named, left for Cripple Creek, Colo., to-night to bring back for burial the body of his son, Norton A.

Dis- patcnes cggtaining the story of the young man’s (aMevoivcd to-day at the Webster home, 862 -Madison street, Oak- land, and information of the tragedy was sent at once to Mr. Webster, who was at Sacramento. Norton Webster left Berkeley about six months ago for Colorado. His death was caused by inhaling poisonous fumes in the shaft of the Blue Bird mine, where he was employed as an electriclan. A companion in the mine, T. Oleson, died with Webster from the same cause. Webster was 25 years old and had re- sided in Berkeley the greater part of his life. The Webster family was prominent in business and soclety, Noah Webster having been a pioneer In the university town, owner of the great Webster tract in the southeastern part of the town and assoclated in many enterprises that were successful.

WATER COMPANY STILL PURSUES SYNDICATE OAKLAND, Feb. 5.—The Contra Costa Water Company to-day brought an ac- tion asking that the Realty Syndicate be compelled to cease filling up Lion Creek with rock strongly impregnated with sulphur. It is alleged that this rock is polluting the stream. The complaint asks for $3000 dam- ages for the mischief alrealy done. A permanent injunction is asked against the Realty Syndicate, which the com- plainant would have restrained from using the bed of the creek as a dump- ing ground for this rock. The Realty Syndicate, it is stated, has drilled a tunnel into the hiliside along the banks of the creek for the purpose of extracting rock. That which is not suitable for the company’s purposes has been dumped, it is sald, into the bed of the creek. It is claimed that this rock has so much sulphur in it that it has ruined the water. The water from Lion Creek runs into Sausal Creek back of Laundry Farm, not far from Leona Heights. The water company also claims that large trees have been cut on its lands and othér damage done. A temporary injunction was granted Attorney M. C. Chapman by Judge Ells- worth to-day restraining the Realty Syndicate from further operations in- terfering with the flow of Lue water in the creek.

REDWOOD CITY. Feb. 5.—The people of Menlo Park have won a substantial victory over the promoters of the Penin- tular Raiiroad Company who sought to pre-empt the Middlefield road and use it as an avenue to connect Mayfleld, Palo Alto, Redwood City, Menlo Park and San The vie- tory of the opposition was won to-day before the Board of Supervisors, and yrhile it I not as complete as the people here desired It, at least postpones further consideration of the proposed franchise until July 16. The discussion of the appeal for a franchise attracted to the session of. the Supervisors to-day a powerful aggrega- tion of protesting property owners and prominent citizens of Menlo Park and its vicinity. The opposition was led by for- mer United States Senator Charles N. Felton in person. He was actively sup- ported by legal representatives of Arch- bishop Riordan, Timothy Hopkins, Charles Holbrook, Edward Eyre, George A. Bachelder, Margaret E. Giryin, J. D. Grant, Perry Eyre, John J. Doyle, James L. Flood, E. Donohoe, Horace A. Hill and J. L. Ray Nickle. The Peninsular Railroad Company, of which O. A. Hale of San Jose is the pres- ident, was represented to-day by former State Senator Oneal, who denied emphat- ically that his company in any way is acting for the Southern Pacific Company. Oneal insisted that he came before the Supervisors in good faith and asked sim- ply for a privilege that will be of great benefit to the general public. In reply to this ex-Senator Felton de- clared that the road in question has been built by the money of the taxpayers and has been mainjained by them in splendid condition for more than fifty years. He demanded therefore that this and other public roads in the county be reserved to public use until some emergency very much greater than the present be pre- sented to suggest their occupation by a private corporation. In this argument ex-Senator Felton was supported by W. I. Brobeck, E. E. Prin- gle and George C. Ross. At the conclu- sion of the argument Supervisor McBain, through whose district the proposed road wishes to run, moved that the franchise be denied. Supervisor Julius Eikerenket- ter expressed the opinion that the matter should recefve further consideration, and he moved as a substitute that the whole discussion be postponed until July 16. This substitute prevailed and the Penin- sular Railroad Company will have to wait at least half a year before it may renew its petition unless the Supervisors change their minds in the matter. PRETTY GIRLS FEAST AT THE ATHENIAN CLUB By ZOE GREEN RADCLIFFE. OAKLAND, Feb. 5.—The red room of the Athenian Club, which has just been fitted up as a banquet hall, was chrigtened last Satur- day by the daintiest, merriest aggregation of feminmity it would be possible to find any- where, and the God of Love presided. Let us hope this presages something of bliss for the bachelors of the club. The luncheon, of which Miss Mabel Reed was hostess, was one of the most griistically arranged affairs of the season. It was given for the purpose of formally announcing her engagement to Harry Lane of Los Angeies, and partly, also, in compliment to Miss Chariotte Eisey, whowe oWn engagement anfouncement is still news. Both Miss Eleey and her hostess were exquisitely gowned, Miss Reed wearin, a beautiful dress of palest, softest pink, elab orately combined with rare lace. Miss Klsey's gown of white lace was surmounted by & stunning white hat in the extreme mode. Mrs. Luning, at whose home Miss Elsey engagement to Mr. Heatley was recently an- nounced, wore a rarcly becoming costume of dark red velvet. The tables were set in horseshoe form and great gorgeous poinsettias shed a crimson glory over the scene. From the apex of the “horeeshoe’’ scariet ribbons and tulle were carried to the chandelier and from there a round for the Cupid that extended his tiny arms as if blessing his happy victims. The place-cards were girle’ heads done in water colors, and in one corner of each & small red heart inclosed the initials of Miss Reed and her flance. The guests at this charming Miss Elsey, affair were: Mrs. George Innes, Miss Walda erick Mize A Clarke, rs. Edward Dodgs, Mrs, Braéer Pors ter, Mrs. Willlam Haley, Mrs. Harry McCor- mick, Mrs. George Alexander, Mrs. Ri Bahls, Mrs. Eleanor Leff) , Mrs. C. E. H Mrs, Joo Ghirardelli, Mrs. §.

Stanford Editor’s Criti- cisms Not Liked by ‘“Profs.” Special Dispatch to The Call. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Feb. 5.— For causing “increased opposition to the efforts and obstructing plans of the committee of the university to prevent hazing and tubbing in Encina Hal,” and because the authorities feared he would ‘“create unjust prejudice and personal antagonism against men as- sisting in the efforts to preserve or- der and personal rights in the hall, B. 8. Allen has been suspended from the university.” This was the edict issued by Professor R. L. Green, chairman of the student affairs committee of the Stanford University to-day, to the edi- tor in chief of the Daily Palo Alto, the official organ of the Stanford Univer- sity. The late edict is not due to any sin- gle editorfal or incident. It is the cul- mination of alleged attacks on the policy of the students’ affairs commit- tee. ' The trouble has been brewing for the last week. The actual cause of the disturbance may be traced back as far as the be- ginning of last semester, when the annual tubbing rush was prohibited, thus giving rise to many unheard-of forms of hazing. The latter part of last semester a plan for the government of the men’s dormitory, Encina Hall, was suggested, by which it was hoped hag- ing could be stopped. The students twice by a unanimous vote voted down the proposition. This semester the fac- ulty decided that the plan was to be enforced, mnevertheless. In order to carry out this plan it was necessary to appoint sixteen men to act as monitors. OPPENHEIM APOLOGIZES. The various university publications immediately took up the subjeet in their editorial columns, The opposi- tion to the plan was voiced so strongly in the Chaparral, the joke-book of the college, and the Daily Palo Alto that the editors of both papers were summoned before the authorities. M. Oppenheim, '05, of the Chaparral was excused .on making due reparation. Allen's case was then taken under consideration. Friday evening Allen was told in- formally by Green that he was sus- pended, but that the formal announce- ment was withheld. Sunday President Starr Jordan was interviewed by the young editor. The president put two propositions before him. By accepting them Allen could remain the col- lege. The propositions wer First—Obtain the names of all the men who resided in the hall who were convinced (and whose opinion was unalterable) that “tubbing” was es- sential. These men should sign the 1ist and leave the hall Second—Obtain names of men in fa- vor of hazing, but who would obey the laws of the faculty. Allen answered he could not consist- ently do as was requested and that he would not consider the matter.

' PESCADERO, Feb. 5.—The important question of constructing a wagon road from this point to the Big Basin is | again being agitated and seemingly with very bright prospects for the re- 'nu:atlon of the project. If the scheme carrfes there will be a direct road from San Francisco to the Big Basin It will be least eight miles sh than any other route and will neces- sarily be one of the most important roads in the State. It will be the first important step in the construetion of an_electric rallroad directly into the basin. The distance from this point to Gov- ernor's Camp in the Big Basin is four- teen miles. Eleven miles of road. nine in San Mateo County and two in Santa Cruz County, are yet to be constructed. The territory in San Mateo County fay already surveyed and paid for. Nearly the entire right of way has been se- cured or definitely promised.

Because the natural effect of a certain edi- torfal by Mr_ Allen in the judgment of the umiversity committes was '‘increased opposi- tion and obstruction to the efforts of the com- mittee to prevent haaing and tubbing in En- cina Hall,® and because “its natural effect is 0 create unjust prejudice and personal an- tagonism against men for assisting in the ef- fort to preserve order and personal rights in the hall,” Mr. Allen has been suspended from the university. The question invalved is the right of the university to enforce its own regulations through its recognized authorities.
