The arm was badly broken, but it was finally set and thought to be well on the mend. An operation was neces- sary, however, owing to the nature of the injury, and it resulted in Sullivan's death last night. Sullivan was known as one of the bravest of firemen. Several times he | had risked his life to save others. He was genial and always ready to do any | one a favor and numbered a host of | friends. Prior to his promotion to the lieutenancy of Engine 37 he was con- | nected with Truck Company § and later with Truck Company 7. | ———— CIVIL SERVICE EXAMINATIONS.—At a meeting of the Civil Service Commission last night it was announced that the next ex- amination for the position of sergeant of police will be held g only are eligible for this examination.

After a last spastnodic c¢avits the evidence was declared all in, {and A A. Moore opened the' oratoricai | battle for the Southern Pacific. For three | hovis and a half he addres: the coart, | with only a shert recess at noon. T Wer: Olney will open for tiie Anterican I'redgirg Company, and foliowing him | F. W. McCutchen will open for the | Western Pacific. Moore’'s method of argument may be de- scribed as not brilliant, but solid. He | made a big use of quoted cases to support | nis contentfons. The blg mahogany table about which sat his assoclates was heaped with calf-bound volumes, | mided toward the plaster potatoes and prunes that decorate the ceiling and over- flowed out upon the floor. As Moore pro- ceeded he would call for tome after tome, which his son Stanley dexterously passed to him. He let the cited cases do most of his arguing, linking them with short elu- cidations. His few poetic flights were | caused by the overrunning of his indigna- tion whenever he alluded to the Western Pacific’s possession of the disputed strip, | and then he thundered a bit about “4nva- | sion,” *‘sacred rights,”” “force,” *‘violence of arms” and “‘gleams of rifles.”” At such | times . the Western Pacific men, who | throughout the day seemed complacent | and somnolent, woke up and smiled. Moore's main contentions were two. The first was that the Southern Pacific water | front lands extended to the present low water line, and was not limited, as the Western Pacific claims, to the low water line of 1852. As the present low water line is some 6000 feet farther west along the north training wall, where the West- ern Pacific has buillt its tracks, than it was in 1852, the importance of this ques- tlon is obvious, and Moore gave much time to citing cases tending to establish the doctrine that in lands bounded by water the line moves with the accretfons. But the main contention, and the one to which he gave the most time and most | pains, was that access to deep water is an easement that goes with water front lands and from which the owner cannot be dispossessed. He based the doctrine strongly upon the argument that as the original grant of the Oakland water front { lands from the State was “for the benefit | of commerce” the access to deep water necessary to this commerce went with the grant. SRR NEW ROAD GETS FRANCHISE. Onkland Council Acts After Hearing Long Discussions. OAKLAND, Feb. 5.—After four hours of discussion by Attorneys C. E. Snook and R. M. Fitzgerald on one hand and Dis- trict Attorney Walsh and W. S. Palmer on the other, the City Council to-night, by unanimous vote, passed to print the ordinances grapting to the Western Pa- cific Railroad franchises for a road along | the north training wall fill of Oakland harbor and slips and other terminal fa- | cilities at the west end of the jetty. The Southern Pacific insisted that the | Western Pacific either go above or below its tracks at Peralta street, and the lat- ter company objected. Representatives of the old company declared that such a provision was the only way to insure the public safety; those of the Western Pa- cific held that this contention was stmply a plan of obstruction. In the ranks of the Southern Pacific were General Superintendent W. 8. Palmer of the Northern district, Division Superintendent W. R. Scott, Assistant | Division Superintendent A. W. Baker, | Division Engineer F. F. Lioyd, Attorney J. J. Allen, Deputy District At- torney Phil M. Walsh Frank Shay and George W. Reed. The Western Pacific was represented | by Vice President V. G. Bogue, Chief En- | gineer H. M. McCartuey, Division En- | gineer J. F. Willlams and Attorneys | Snook and Fitzgerald. —_———————— | Try the United States Laundry. 1004 | Market street.

WITH DEADLY ACID | A stomach complaint which’ made her | life one of intense suffering led Mrs. | Jennie Hasenberg, wife of Myer Hasen- berg, a retired auctioneer who lives at 382 Austin avenue, to end her existence | yesterday forenoon by taking carbolic acid, She swallowed the contents of a phial of the acid and though she was discovered immediately after she had taken the draught death followed | shortly. | The unhappy woman sought an un- usual place to end her life of suffering. She went to Lafayette Square, at Wash- ington and Octavia streets, fully pre- pared for the act. Neighbors who had seen her but a short time before she left say she appeared happy, though they were aware she had been suffer- ing very mu¢h from her stomach dur- ing the last few days. The woman sought a bench in the corner of the park and then swallowed the acld. Persons passing by heard her groans and immediately went to her assistance. The ambulance was sum- moned and the patient was removed to the Central Emergency Hospital. Dr. R. C. Hill gave her every attention, but | she expired a few minutes after her arrival at the hospital. A note which had been scribbled by her was found. It was as follows: jear. husband and Wille: I Y e e, fov aking this, hah You both have been 80 kind and have done everything for me.

These, mén, Professor William James of Harvard University, Professor John W inary, Rev. George W. Stone of the American Unitafian Association and Pro- fessor George Howison of the University of California, spoke with earnestness on | the great subject, both from the philo- sophical and the theological points of view. Professor James declared that reason is here to sift out the data that we gather and then draw the balance to show which way the evidence tends. He spoke at of the religious experiences of men’s lives, and said that we employed reason to draw the balance. He said that the very organization of nature was a religious experience. We can look at all things from an atheist point of view or from a religious point of view. Our indi- vidual reasoning determines the choice of the course we will follow. He declared that faith is optimistic, natural, neces- sary. In discussing the question of "‘Reason and Faith” Professor Buckham sald that religion was as wise and deep as human- ity, and that revelation is absolutely necessary to it. God has revealed him- self to the world by the primary revela- tions of power, reason and kindness. The human soul needs no proof of the exist- ence of God more than its own existence. Professor Buckham emphasized the doc- trine of the fatherhood of God. Rev. Mr. Stone agreed in the main with the arguments of Professor Buckham. He said that reason and faith are insepara- ble. Faith gathers the materials and rea- son, a mental apparatus, lights the way. While there never will be a universal faith, yet over all the world there is the belief in a creative and directing power. We know of immortality by faith. Faith recedes reason. l’Dn Howison was the last speaker of the evening. His introduction was the occa- slon of prolonged applause. This, he sald, {s a puzzled age. Faithisa personal con- viction and as such is abiding. Of what value is faith induced by the hope of a reward? The real religion, he declared, is expressed in the commandment to “love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, with all thy soul and with all thy strength, and thy neighbor as thyself.” Love of fel- low man is religlon. It is divine. Chris- tianity is human. GIRL ENDS HER LIFE | IN HER LOVER’S ROOM Hay Hume Takes Dose of Poison After Spending Pleasant Evening.

Speeches and music were the order of the evening. The Artillery Band from the Presidio opened up the proceedings with ““‘America,” followed at intervals by patri- otic airs ending up with “Star Spangled Banner.” In proposing the health of General Sumner, Colonel Jocelyn said in part: After just a word, gentlemen, I am going to ask you, in the spirit of goodfellowship that has brought us together to-night. to join in drinking to the health, long life and happiness of our distinguished and honored guest.
