ployes and are signifying their willing
ness to aid them in every way possible.
The Iron Trades Council last night adopt
ed .the following resolutions:
The statement that violence was. of
fered to Newton is vehemently denied. It
is admitted that hot language was used,
but "the* Interference of a policeman. It is
claimed, was absolutely unnecessary. Thu
statement that rocks were hurled through
windows Is denied, and this is supported
by the fact that the. carhouse windows
were intact last night. The strikers ex
press great annoyance at the spread of
reports of violence, which, they declare,
are absolutely without foundation. .
One of the carmen who witnessed the
occurrence stated last night that the af
fair was greatly exaggerated. He re
marked that Newton was upbraided for
his conduct on Sunday In taking out a
car ..and. he admitted that. "It. was the
mistake, of his life." Newton expressed
a desire to Join the Union, and during the
afternoon he paid his fee and was.ajimit-'
ted into the ranks of organized labor.-
Thl« morning, at about 3 o'clock, at -}he
Twenty-ninth and Mlssloh streets carhouse, an
alarm was given on the door by a police officer
and tha watchman In the Inside ..of the car
house opened the door. When the door was
opened the policeman pushed in forcibly Motor
man J. W. Newton, as he :was being attacked
by a mob on the outside. Immediately after
Newton's entrance into the carhouse the mob
began hurling rocks at the windows and "doors,
breaking several windows In the front of the
carhouse. They then devoted their attention to
the rfear of the carhouse and hurled several
rocks against the windows and tried to Weak
in the doors so they could get at Newton.' The
employes In the Inside of the carhouse had to
hide the man. He was then concealed, so that
In case the doors were broken open they would
not be able to find him. A short time alter
this disturbance Motorman Newton decided that
it would be better for him to leave the service
of the company and he turned in his badge and
buttons and left the premises. At the present
time we do not know his whereabouts.
A fracas of some sort occurred at.. the
carhouse at Mission and ' Twenty-ninth
streets at 3 o'clock yesterday morning.
According to the statement of an official
of the United Railroads, an attempt was
made by several of the striking carmen
to attack Motorman J. W. Newton, who
took out a car for Manager Vining on
Sunday afternoon. The statement of the
company's representative is as follows;

Bell, the little daughter of W. H. de Bell,
former principal of . the school, at the
close of the invocation by Rev. G. B.
Hatch and the singing by the school of

cises. He delivered the opening address,
saying in part:
This likeness is .not a monument for tha
dead. . William McKinley needs no monument
to preserve his ' memory. His deeds are s j
Used in history that they will endure foreyer
without. any record of stone. The memory 'of
his virtues has become so much a part of tha
consciousness of his fellow citizens that u
cannot lade. ' '¦" .
tS."D. Waterman, City Superintendent ot
'Schools, made a few appropriate remarks
and at the close introduced H. H. Wood
ruff, ttrst lieutenant of Company A, Vet
eran Reserves, and a member of the Ohio
regiment in which McKinley fought dur
ing the Civil War. Lieutenant Woodruff
spoke of the young soldier who had been
a comrade-in-arms, and told of his life at
the front. He said that the Grand Army
of the Republic intended to plant a -*c-
Kinley memorial, tree in the army plat in

Or course, the action of the directors Is

has deposited with the Oakland Gas, Light and

option. Should this offer be accepted by the
stockholders by the deposit of a sufficient num
ber of shares in escrow the San Francisco cor

which to take up the stock, i ¦
Meanwhile no change of management Is im
minent. The very favorable management of
the companies in California now operated by
tho 'syndicate is a sufficient Indication that the
wt-11-kncwn and liberal policy of the Oakland
Gas. Light and Heat Company's management
will be continued. If not enlarged.
Nothing has as yet been done toward ascer
taining the desires of the stockholders in this
matter of sale, but all of the circumstances sur
rounding the tender appear so favorable that it
has been decided that the best interests- of the
company can be served by an acceptance' of. th<>

Oakland Office San .Franeisco Call,
' V" lil8 I-troadway, April 21.
Attorney de Golia, in th* short argu
ment that he made, tried "to show that
the Assessor was guilty of malfeasance
because he had done something knowing
that it was unlawful. Attorney Fitzger
ald was satisfied to let the case* go to the
Judges without argument and. after a
few minutes' deliberation, the Court ren
dered its decision, as stated.
The statement made by Dalton "to the
Auditor in 18?9 was submitted by the
prosecution to show that Dalton had ustrd
deputies in his office paid by the county
to work on the city assessment rolls and
then overcharged for their work. DaI
ton succeeded in showing, however, that
the prosecution did not . read thiugs
straight.
Then Mr. Fitzgerald took the stand to
tell that he had advised Mrj Dalton to
retain all fees when the question as " to
his rights came up in 1S93.
Dalton followed to corroborate all that
his attorney said. He told about writing
to every County Assessor in the State to
ascertain what they did in regard to fee&.
All were of the opinion that he had a
right to retain. the fees.- He denied that
he ever had any intent to wrongfully re
tain fees.
As Mr.' Whidden's was all the testi
mony offered by the prosecution* Attor
ney Fitzgerald moved for a dismissal A
the charge on the ground of lack of proof
of intent to commit fraud. The Judges
wanted to hear some more testimony,
however, and denied the motion.
Testimony-taking in the case did not
amount to much. The prosecution only
had one witness and the defense was sat
isfied with two. Attorney de Golia fcr
Ibe prosecution called upon l>eputy Aud
itor Myron H. \Vhidden to tell about Dal
ion's neglect to account -for poll tax fees
and fees that he collected from the city
of Oakland for assessment rolls the last
three years. He told how Dalton had set
tled for the fees collected from the city
by paying into the treasury $4OS7 in ac
cordance with a recent decision of Judge
Ogden.
"The Court finds that the defendant aid
retain and neglect to pay over to the
County Treasurer portions of the several
amounts of money charged In the at
t usatson to have been retained by him.
but that he retained the same openly and
avowedly and under claim of right and
ownership of the same made in good
faith. And the Court further finds and
adjudges that the defendant is not guilty
of the offenses charged in the accusa
tion." v
The decision was read at the end of the
trial by Judge Melvin. and it was con
curred in by Judges Ogden, Kllsworth
and Hall. Following is the language of
the decision:
County Assessor Dalton was acquitted
of malfeasance in office this afternoon by
the jury of judges that was convened to
hear the accusation brought against him
by former County Clerk Crane. The
Judges acquitted Dalton of any intent to
defraud the county out of money due its
treasury.
Office of San Francisco Cail,
1118 Broadway, April 2L
Arrangements have already been made
for excursions from all of the interior
towns of Alameda County, San Jose,
Stockton, Sacramento, Santa Rosa and
other cities, so that more than one-half
pf the total population of^the State will
be given an opportunity to visit the fair,
faix of the twelve blocks secured will be
devoted to concessions for amusements
and refreshments, and the other six
blocks will be given over to exhibits of
P°°ds. It has been three years since
Oakland has had an exhibit of any kiad.
The streets will be inclosed with aboard
fence running along the outer curb, and
as two square blocks of land within this
territory are city property, the park and
the high school property, this can be done
without cutting off any resident from his
home,- and will give a very large space
for concessions and exhibits. It is pro
posed to open the fair on June 14, as the
public schools close on June 13. It will
run far from eight to ten days, as the at
tendance warrants. •-• . . . .
The location granted to-night is admira
ble. It includes all of the streets from
Clay to Castro and' from Twelfth to
Ninth. This will give all of the grounds
in the rear of the High School, and with
the beautiful Lafayette square in the cen
ter.
The Elks* street fair was launched to
night, when the City Council. and the
Mayor formally granted Oakland Lodge
of that order the use of, twelve blocks of
streets for the purpose of their fair in
June. From now on the lodge and the com
mittees that have been placed in charge
of the affair will bend their energies to
ward making this the greatest success
that Oakland has attempted in the way
of displays.
The people of Oakland and San Fran
cisco ha\»e read about street fairs for sev
eral years, but this is the first opportu
nity that the residents of the bay section
have had to witness such an event.*
