LATEST OAKLAND NEWS Enterprising Capitalists Plan ning a New Competing Railroad. SAN JOSE TO HOLLISTER. Federated Trades Report on the Sunday Closing of Saloons. Oakland capitalists have caught the com peting railroad fever with a vengeance and in addition to the proposed line between Santa Rosa and Petaiuma have planned a new line which, if their calculations come to anything, will be an important factor in the freight and passenger trafiic of some of the interior counties. Louis Gottshall is doing the booming for those interested and is now in San Benito County looking over the ground and work ing the people of that section up to the proper pitch ©f enthusiasm. The present plans are to build a narrow gauge road between San Jose and Hollister to be in direct competition with the Southern Pacific. The line will be about fifty-five miles long, and the route which has been selected carries it through one of the most prosperous and productive sections of the State, insuring a large amount of patron age for the company. The fact that there are no difficult grades to be overcome or expensive bridges to build will make the cost of building the road light, and it is calculated that $850,000 judiciously expended will place the line in running order." The road will be equipped with the most modern appliances and best rolling stock obtainable. The projectors believe that the patronage of the people along the route will be easily obtainable, as a reduction of 25 to iis per cent in freight and passenger rates will be the policy of the new company. Mr. Gottshall is now sounding the large shippers of San Benito and Santa Clara counties regarding their ideas of competing roads, and finding out what inducements will be offered the projectors to go ahead and build. In case arrangements are satis factory surveys will be made at once, and the company will agree to have the line completed and in running order within eight months from the time ground is broken. Though the names of those who are backing the enterprise are not definitely known, it is stated on reliable authority that Alvinza Hay ward and Francis l£. Shattuck, president of the Commerce Bank, are among those who will furnish the sinews of war, and that in case the line is successful they will put up the money to extend the line south and build feeders from different points. Previous to his departure for Hollister, Mr. Gottshall, who was largely instru mental in promoting the building of the Oakland and Berkeley elect: ic line and the road connecting East and West Berke ley, talked freely of the prospects of the projected line. '•The people of San Jose and Hollister, as well as niany of the large interior towns of those points, are alive to the bene fits to be derived from a genuine compet ing road," he said, "and I have no doubt that when I have placed the matter thor oughly before them they will give us all the encouragement we ask in the matter of rights of way, depot facilities and finan cial assistance. "The men behind the roadr r e amply able to build without a dollar oi outside money, but should the well-to-do people oi Santa t_ lara and San Benito counties subscribe to -abortion of the stock it will seem more like a local concern, and they will take more interest in its welfare. "Competition is the watchword these days, and it is possible that the line will not stop at Hollister, but will go on south and eventually become an important sys tem." OBJECT TO THEIR. STAND. The Federated Trades on the Sunday ('losing Ordinance. The special committee appointed by the Federated Trades to express the feelings of the organization on the question of the Sunday closing of saloons rendered the following report last evening at a special meeting held to consider the matter: First— That we have nothing in common with nor are we under any obligations to the saloon men as an organization. Second— That the churches, as religious or ganizations, have always ■ viewed organized labor with an unfriendly eye, and the un fortunate unemployed (per Rev. Dr. Weudte's sermon last Sunday) as being lazy, ignorant, shiftless, self-indulgent aud mentally and morally weak. So between the two, church and saloons, we have no sympathy for either, but it so happened in this case that the saloon men were the link connecting our interest with ourselves. Again, we believe the matter should be submitted to the people at an election and not allow eleven men to legis late for 50,000 people on an affair of such magnitude. The Federation believes that Oak land, by reason of her natural advantages, should do the metropolis of the Pacific Coast and not the bedroom for Sun Francisco, and will raise its voice in protest against any move ment tending to drive any capital out of Oak land, believing that every dollar lost to the city means a loss of 50 per cent to the laboring class. The report was adopted without a dis senting voice. Mioliael Collins' Trial. When Judge Frick's department of the Oakland Superior Court opened yesterday the cross-examination of Dr. J. A. Miller, one of the people's witnesses in the case of Michael Coilins, charged with killing Philip Boogar, was continued. He ad mitted that Boogar had commenced to fail physically and mentally before his ante moVtem statement was made. Then the doctor described how this was made. Deputy District Attorney Church said Boopar's statement was taken down in shorthand, then transcribed and read to the dying man. Dr. B. A. Rabe, as an expert witness, ad mitted that the use of morphine befogs the brain. The statement itself, wherein Boogar ac cuses Collins of shooting him, was then admitted in evidence. William J. Moffatt, watchman for the Contra Costa Water Company, testified that he heard the shots and ran out in the street to see what was up. He saw Collins with a pistol in his hand. When witness went up toward Collins the latter flourished his pistol and told Aloffatt to keep away. Witness obeyed the injunction, but fol lowed Collins all the way to his house, and was present when Policeman Banks made the arrest. Mrs. Boo^ar, Collins' daughter, de manded what the policeman wanted. Banks said : "I want the man that killed Boogar." 'That is me," said Collins, stepping for ward and giving himself up to tne police man. Moffsttt proved the only witness so far who saw a pistol in Collins' hand. High School Commencement. Commencement exercises of the Oakland High School will bo held in the First Con gregational Church Monday evening. Thirty-four r>upils will graduate and re ceive diplomas. A noticeable feature of the programme is that none of the gradu ates are to take part in the exercbes. They are to have special exercises at the gymnasium of the High School Monday afternoon, when they will present a farce entitled "An Aegis Election/ written by Miss Florence 11. Livingston Paul R Lanz and Paul C. Bordeii of the senior c'ass. The graduates are: Edna Ackerman, Edward C. Akins Bertha Boa*, Fred C. Border, Edith Maude Church Irene N.

Brown and Wilbur Walker a committee to join w ith the committee of the Good Roads Association, conaisting of E. C. Sessions, J. L. Lyon and L. R. Hager. in a petition to the Su pervisors to build a road between Alameda and Contra Costa counties, or at least make decided improvements in the pres ent highway. The old rbad has long been declared a nuisance by farmers and business men who are compelled to use it, but it was only when the Good Roads Association took bold of the matter that definite steps were taken toward its improvement. The joint committees' will meet the Supervisors on Monday next, when a large number of residents of both counties will be present to express their views. It is anticipated that the Supervisors will take immediate steps to bring about the desired end. The Three Alleged Robbers. The men charged with robbing Garrett & Taggart's drugstore in Oakland were ar raigned in the Police Court yesterday. Their preliminary examination was set for next Tuesday. Neither of the Ross brothers was charged with the crime, but, instead, was one Jacob Oppenheimer, a San Francisco barber, who attempted to shoot Superintendent Weihe of the District Telegrapn Company of San Francisco three years ago. He was arrested in this city Tuesday night and identified by Po liceman Green as the man who came to the door of the drugstore when he tried it on the night of the robbery. Earl Crum, the drug clerk, identified tfie two Holland brothers as those who pinioned him. There are prior convictions against both W. B. Holland and John Holland. The three accused men sought to waive exam ination in the Police Court, but were not permitted to do so. Wanted to Be Judge. John Lenett, charged with using vulgar language, created a scene in the Ponce Court yesterday when he attempted to usurp Judge Woods' place on the bench and had to be dragged therefrom by the bailiff. Lenett acted queerly in the dock before the court was in session and twice at tempted to leave, to the great amusement of the crowd. Suddenly he dashed out of the dock and up to the Judge's seat, where he sat rant tering and apparently trying to look judicial and wise. When returned to his proper place he refused to remove his hat and continued | his mutterings. He was finally sent to the County Jail and charged there with in sanity. Ameuded the Ordinance. The City Council at its meeting on Thurs- i day evening voted to amend the proposed ' ordinance for the closing of saloons from 6 | r. m. Saturday to 6a. m. Monday to provide for their closing from 12 m. Saturday to 6 a.m. Monday. A number of the Councilmen ex pressed themselves as in favor of submit ting the matter to the people to be voted on at a special election, but the matter was finally accepted as amended. The ordi nance will come up for final passage at the next meeting of the Council. TCobbed 11. s Benefactor. L. L. Burnett of 754 East Thirty-fourth j street reported at the police station yes terday that his home had been robbed by I a man to whom he had given a meal and j money for doing some small jobs about the house. He washed a number of win- ! dows and then left. Soon af ter it' was ' discovered that a hat, a Tazor, several j volumes from the library and a number of ! silk handkeichiefs were missing. Yon Schmidt's Troubles. Daniel Schmidt has sued the Yon | Schmidt Dredging Company for $25,000 j damages for injuries received in December, ! 1893, while employed on one of the com- j pany's barges. He was sent into the hold ; to look after the machinery, and, becoming entangled in a cogwheel, had his right arm torn off. Withdrew Her Suit. Mrs. Agnes J. Potter withdrew her suit for divorce against her husband, Samuel i L. Potter, yesterday. The case was ex- { pected to (fevplop some very sensational | testimony, in view of the allegations made by Mrs. Potter, and the dismissal of the case at her request was a great surprise to her friends. Closing Kxprcines. The closing exercises of the Oakland Seminary took place yesterday, a large number of the friends and relatives of the pupils being present. A number of the essays were quite I elaborate and well read, and elicited much I applause from the audience. Woman's Exchange Benefit. On Tuesday evening next at the Mac dqnough Theater the Woman's Exchange will be given a benefit to raise funds to carry on its work. The attraction will be the "Cradle Songs of Nations," which will be rendered in appropriate costumes. BEEKELEY. A large number of the leading citizens of Berkeley met at Woodman Hall Thursday evening and formally organized a Council for the Suppression of Saloons. After an extended discussion of the con stitution presented by the committee it was adopted and the following officers elected : President, William Carey Jones; vice-presi dents, A. W. Naylor. 11. C. Kastcus, George H. Wright, Thomas Addison, William Whitney, Professor 0. M. Gsyley. Mrs. 11. N. Marquand; I secretary-treasurer", c! S. Dunning; correspond ing secretary, Miss Edith Sprague. Twenty-one religious organizations in I Berkeley were represented by delegates. Crcßcent Athletic Club. A proposition ha^ been made to the Crescent Athletic Club by F. N. Lowell for the erection of a building on the lot ad joining Woodman Hall, to be used as a clubhouse and gymnasium. Their present quarters on Bancroft way are inadequate as their membership is now nearly 100. Owing to lack of time the relay race ap- j pointed for to-morrow will be postponed and instead there will be a five-mile hand- | icap at the same time, the place being the Oakland Trotting Park. The entries are as ' follows: Robert and Frank Thompson, Mansfield. Price, Wilkins, Kenney. Wilcox, Wu-aer and Eggleston. A Denial. Miss Cora Fisk, principal of the Nathan iel T. Whiting Kin-iergsirten, denies the statements circulated to the effect that she teaches the forms and ceremonies of the Catholic Church in the kindergarten. She claims that the little songs and prayers which the pupils repeat are sung and said in the same manner in every kindergarten and in many of the public schools. Johnson Benefit. The dramatic society of the Sons of Hermann presented a play entitled '•Lenore, the Dead Bride," to a large audi ence at Unity Hall last evening, the pro ceeds of which will be given to the family of tne late Philip Johnson. At the con clusion of the performance dancing was de clared in order, after which a supper was served. To Attend the Carnival.

Krebs for the arrest of* Joseph Curran on a charge of lar ceny. He is accused of stealing seventeen bars of bridge-iron from the narrow-gauge pier and disposing of them in Oakland. Much material has been stolen from the narrow-gauge pier and towed across the estuary to the Oakland side. Unitarian Sunday-Schools.

Special cars will leave Twenty third avenue at 9:55 o'clock this morning, where the Alameda electric-cars make con nection. SAUSALITO FOOTWAY WAR. Debate of the Statesmen of the Scarborough of Cali fornia. All the Vacant Houses Are Filled Up and a Lively Season Is in Promise. The rehabilitation of Sausalito, the plan ning of new roads and the establishment of new grades is a weighty work which has developed much oratory and not a little engineering science on the part of the Town Trustees. Thetr weekly meeting on Wednesday was devoted to a debate on a sidewalk. It appears that the question which side of Water street, the main j thoroughfare, this footway should occupy ! has led to the expression of vastly divided opinions. The advocates of the east side hotly contended with the cohorts that held that the west side was the natural and un mistakable place for that footway. The westsiders sat down on the eastsiders and | declared that they had the Trustees on their side. The conflict so long pending came to an issue on Wednesday. The eastsiders wtfre led by W. H. Harrison, the westsiders were inartialed by Commodore Harrison. There ! were two Harrisons in the field and the Town Hall was thronged. Tho populace were in earnest, but cool Constables Creed i and Gerrighty were deployed on the wings ■ of the crowd in case of violence. W. H. Harrison opened the debate. Bow | ing courteously to General and Mayor j Dickinson, who was in the chair, the ora i tor declared that the selection of the west j side of Water street for a sidewalk was ! preposterous in the extreme. House ! holders on the steep bill on the west were j continually puffing up their property, j keeping it at considerable expense from j sliding into the bay. One gentleman near j San Carlos avenue" had half a precipitous j fifty-foot lot in the rear of his dwelling I dumped into nis back yard. The cutting ! into those hills was, from an engineering j standpoint, a fatal mistake. Moreover, '■ the pickets of the boundary fence would be an irresistible temptation to the festive picnicker to smash them as an exhibition of muscular prowess for the admiration of the females of his species. Horses, shying at the locomotives on the east side, would i naturally swerve toward the west and en j danger the lives of the pedestrians on that ! footway. The choice was an unwise one and should not prevail. When the burly commodore, for the west side, took the floor he paid a glowing ; tribute to the manly independence the Trustees had shown in selecting the west for the footway. The Portuguese had de clared for the west, the intelligence of old Sausalito had demanded the west, and the improvement club of Hurricane Gulch had I inscribed upon their banners, "West — or mo sidewalk." In the face of this mass of j opinion the Trustees could decide but one way, and that the direction where the golden sun seeks his bed in the bosom of the great Pacific. At this burst of oratory the westsiders applauded enthusiastically, while a shout of "Rats!" went up from' the contempt uous eastsiders. The commodore retaliated by the sug gestion that the gentleman who had shouted "rats" might hunt his hole; that despite specious arguments and garbled representations the sidewalk would orna iiH-iit the west side. Other and equally eloquent speakers were prepared to address the meeting, but were cut short by the Mayor's announce ment that inasmuch as the contract had been let for the construction of the foot way on the west side of the street, and that a large portion of the work had been al ready done, it was a pity to permit the escape of oratory which must be ineffectual, i and thus the great west side controversy i was disposed of. The summer visitors are filling up the vacant houses in the little town, the Scarborough of California, and it is anticipated that the population this season will attain an unprecedented figure. The railroad people have so in creased the daily trips and improved the property adjoining their depot that the sea | port of Marin, with the glory of its new incorporation on it, is aspiring to metro politan distinction.

The trial of Solomon Levin and Isadore C. Wood of 25% Stockton street was con cluded in the United States District Court yesterday. They are charged with sending circulars whicii gave information as to where ob scence literature could be purchased through the mail, and the case has been bitterly fought from the start. United States District Attorney Foote made an able argument on behalf of the Government and Judge Hawley charged the jury The latter went out about 3:30 p. m. arid an hour later came in for further instructions. The receipt-book kept by Wells, Fargo & Co., showing the number of parcels sent by the prisoners to various addresses, was handed to the jurors, as also were some of the exhibits. The defendants were found guilty, but were recommended to the extreme mercy of the court. They were ordered to appear for sentence next Tuesday.

Money Enough Spent by the Old Board to Have Had Them In Good Condition. "I have this to say, that the condition of the public schools of San Francisco is a disgrace to the City. Many of them are not fit for human beings to inhabit. They have not been even cleaned for years. Many of them are in a state of rot and de cay and are filthy. Some of them seem never to have known whitewash, and it is time that a new order of things set it." So said School Director Comte before the Finance Committee of the Board of Supervisors yesterday. He had come there in behalf of a trade with Mrs. Weaver for her lot adjoining the Douglas School, corner of Collingwood and Nineteenth streets, which the school board desires should be purchased as a playground for the children of the school — there being no yard to the school. Mrs. Weaver wants $2800 for the 25 --foot lot, and Mayor Sutro had sent a com munication to the Supervisors, referred to this committee, stating that lots in the same neighborhood were not worth more than $1500. A lot 55 feet front, more than double the frontage of Mrs. Weaver's, just opposite, could be bought for $3000. He aavised against the purchase and the com mittee agreed with him. Mr. Comte said he and the Board of Education knew that the price was exces sive, but they thought it was necessary. The children should have a playground, as the building scarcely had grounds enough to admit of their free entrance and exit. Chairman Taylor of the committee thought it would be wiser to buy the two lots opposite for the purpose. Mr. Comte said that the school-teachers objected to that, as they declared they would not let the children cross the street because of the danger. "That is a woman's argument," said Mr. Taylor; "when the principal of a school wears a petticoat you must make allowance for her reasoning on these things. The first thing the children do when released from school is to run into the street. They must cross streets every day going to and from school. It is silly, then, to say that they must not cross a street to the playground. I have been a member of the school board and I know something about these things. "I am not special pleader for the woman principal, neither am I attending the Woman's Congress," said Mr. Comte, "but I do believe in the children having a playground. It is as important to them as their books, for you must give their young energies an outlet, and teach them to be healthy as well as wise." Then, warming to his subject, he de livered himself of the caustic criticism of the public schools of San Francisco, as quoted above. Having said that the school buildings were uncared for and in a state of decay Mr. Taylor interrupted him to say : "In this connection I would like to ask if the department hasn't had a Jot of idle carpenters drawing a salary for some years whose business it wasto look after these repairs?" "They have had some carpenters and have spent a great deal of money, I have no doubt," said Mr. Comte; "enough, perhaps, to have secured a very great im provement on thingrs as they exist if it had been spent judiciously; but I am not here to talk about that, but to consider things as they do exist. I believe we should give the children good, well ventilated, clean and cheerful schoolrooms and plenty of room to play, and that is the spirit of the present board throughout, I believe." The committee decided to hold the mat ter over until next meetinp . * Prof. Haikeb, chemist to the Chicago Board of Health, says he has found the Royal Baking Powder the purest and strongest, and superior to all others in every respect. THE QUEEN'S BIRTHDAY. There Was a Quiet but Knjoyable Celebration In San Fran cisco. The Queen's birthday was generally cel ebrated by Englishmen in this City yester day. The British Consulate was closed and in consequence there was very little business done, as far as the British ships in port were concerned. The vessels were decorated for the occa sion and all the signal-flags in the lockera were used to give the ships a holiday ap l>earance. In the resorts frequented by the Britishers the clinking of glasses was heard frequently, and the toast of the "Queen — God bless her" was heard many a time during the day. Some wholesale houses were closed yes terday that the clerks, many of whom are Englishmen, might onjoy a holiday. Pic nics were in order, and quite a large party went to Shell Mound Park, while others visited the grain ships at Port Costa and Martinez. The national debt of Great Britain amounts to rather more than £20 for each inhabitant. But very few worry over the matter.
