Walter Lambert Is Sentenced
to Five Years at San
Quentin.
WILL APPEAL THE CASE.
Judge Frick Says There Is a Lesson
In the Prisoner's Melancholy
Condition.
Unless the Supreme Court listens with a
favoring ear to his appeal Walter Lambert,
the defaulting clerk of the Oakland Police
Court and once the king-pin politician of
the Athens of the Pacific, will spend the
next five years in San Queutin.
When he came up yesterday morning be
fore Judge Frick for sentence his attorney
was not present, and an effort was made to
have tr?e case postponed to a future date,
but Judge Frick allowed Lambert until 12
o'clock to find his legal adviser, and stated
that he would pass sentence at that hour,
attorney or no attorney. At the noon
houi Attorney Brearty was present and
made a motion for an arrest of judgment,
which was promptly denied. He then
argued a motion for a new trial on the
ground of errors of the court in instructing
the jury and in ruling upon matters of law
occurring during the trial, and upon the
further ground that the verdict was
contrary to law. lie claimed there
was no proof that when Samuel
Mitchell drew his cheek for moneys turned
over to Lambert, that it was not a private
transaction. He contended that it was
not in evidence that it was public nionev.
He alto arirued that the lact that Lambert
had gone to the islands was only a matter
*s,f common report and not in evidence, and
no proof of his guilt. He contended that
the District Attorney had said: "Why
don't trie defendant take his medicine and
plead guilty? He can't escape the conse
quences of the facts submitted to the jury
by sitting silent. ' :
"He asked, finally, that Lambert be com-
I as insane and sent where he could
be treated by competent physicians, rather
than to pii-
Judge Frick denied the motion and
passed sentence on Lambert in the follow
ing words: "A sad lesson may be taken
from this case and the condition of this
young man. as shown by the testimony of !
his physicians, as the result of vicious as- j
Bociates and excessive indulgence in drink. I
The element of vengeance has vanished
out of our judicial system. The pur
pose of a sentence is for reforma
tion and to deter others from
committing crime. I shall not impose the
full extent of the law, but I shall inflict
sach sentence as shall serve as a warning
to others who have the handling of public
money that its misappropriation shall not
go unpunished.
"The judgment of the law and the sen
tence of this court i« that you, W. K.
Lambert, shall be taken hence and de- ,
livered to the Warden of San Quentin and
there imprisoned for five years."
"He might as well have given me life,"
said Lambert, as he dropped heavily into
his chair.
An appeal will be taken to the Supreme
Court and another effort made to save
Lambert from prison.
Mrs* Starr Is Insane.
Mary A. Starr, the widow of A. D. Starr,
the milling man. is hopeiesslv insane. At
the time of Mr. Starr's death he was sup
,posed to be worth over a million dollars.
ife, who was in West Kirl>y. Eng
land, for h^r health at the time, was not
informed of her husband's demise on ac
count of her leeble condition. Her friends
supposed that there was a large fortune
left her, and so decided to keep the mat
ter quiet until she had regained her health.
But upon investigation it was found that
the supposed millionaire had died almost
penniless.
The unfortunate woman did not get bet
ter, but nevertheless she was informed of
her husband's death. The sad news
caused her to become hopelessly insane.
[The deposition of L. A. Boggs, the person
with whom she has been staying in Eng
land, was read in court to-day, in which
he says Mrs. Starr has twice tried to com
mit suicide and at one time she was placed
!in an insane asylum at Liverpool. C. R.
Johnson has applied for let* of adminis
tration upon toe estate, which is of little
value.
Tbe City's Money Tie-Up.
City Treasurer Gilpin does not like the

Yv'Len seen yesterday morning he said:

Cricket at Golden Gate.
The Bohemias, and Pacifies played a
. lively game of cricket at Golden Gate Sun
day before a large crowd of spectators.
W! H. Howard, a weli-known player from
British Columbia, assisted the latter team
very materially. The score was a tie at 74.
The Pacifies succeeded in equalizing their
opponents in the nuiiiberof points by a
L*>riiliant c*tch which marked the fall of
fine last wicket. Bohemia went to the bat

ALAMEDA.
The sixteenth annual report of the
Library I rostra wjis filed yesterday. The
(report emphasizes that the system of giv
ing the public free access to the shelves
has assisted to make the library popular
and increase its usrfulnpp*- Attention is
called to the efforts to provide the institu-
I tion with a permanent home and the result
v of the referendum election, when by a
small majority of twenty-five it was de
cided that a special tax levy of 20 cents on
the % 100 be set aside for a building:.
The Alameda library is rated fourth in
the State as to number of books circulated,
but taking into consideration the 15,000
population the per canita issue is nearly
double that of any other city, which is
shown by a comparison of figures.
The report also refers to the attempted
change in the administration. The library
has a total of 18.5G3 volumes, of Which
11,586 are in the circulating department.
During the past two years tie circulation
increased from 57,949 to 108,011.
Hattlo Pleads Guilty.
Hattie DLxo'n, the young Salvation Army
lassie recently arrested in Watsonville for
the theft of wearing apparel, pleaded
guilty before a Justice of the Peace, and
sentence was postponed until this fore
noon to learn more of her antecedents.
She was brought to Alameda from the
Beulah Home of the Salvation Army, and,
though she has paraded with the army and
attended its meetings, does not consider
herself a member. She is 19 years erf age,
and quite good-looking. She takes her ar
rest and prospective imprisonment with
much feeling.
A Protest Unheeded.
Treasurer Wheeler received a document
yesterday from C. F. Carlson warning him
against paving the monthly salary of Po
lice Officer'Zingg, who hss charge of the
speed boulevard. The warrant was paid,
however, on the advice of the City Attor
ney. Carlson has undertaken to bring to
an issue the legality of Zingg's appoint
ment as an officer to"pr e9erve the peace at
the speed boulevard and keep the latter in
repair at the expense of the public.
Barron Heirs' Estate.
Mrs. Mary F. Barron, widow of W. R.

yesterday appointed euardian of her
minor children. The estate of the chil
dren consists of a contingent interest in
the estate of their grandfather. By the

BERKELEY.
Last week a man giving the name of J.
J. Long and calling himself the advance
agent of the Associated Charities of Ala
rneda County canvassed Berkeley with a
subscriptson list, securing pledges for cer
tain sums of money from those interested
in t be "fatherless and motherless." •» The
cause appeared to be a very worthy one, as
it was proposed to give an excursion and
picnic for the benefit of the orphans in the
community on July 4.
Yesterday he returned with two women
assistants for the purpose of collecting the
amounts subscribed, but their acts caused
suspicion on the part of one . of the donors
and she began to investigate.
It was found that there was no author
ized agent of the Associated Charities in
Berkeley, and that the man and the two
women must have been securing money
under false pretenses.
The town officers are looking into the
matter, and propose to make it hard for
the fakirs, if they are found to be such.
A Berkeley Judge Resigns.
Judge Shaw believes that/a Judgeship in
a temperance town does not pay. Why it
does not pay in a temperance town any
more than in any other town his contem
poraries are at sea .to know. He has sent
the following letter to the Board of Super
visors:. . . ■ ". ; . ,

board my resignation as Justice of the' Peace of

ately on your acceptance thereof. The .-$75 per
month allotted oy ■ the last Legislature to

from the practice of ; my profession to the dis

it ha? been learned .that he purchased a
steamer ticket for that place last Saturday.
A friend ofDoan-tf says that he "believes

A relief committee, with Miss Jaquemin
as chairman, has been formed in Berkeley
for the purpose of affording household and
I personal necessities for those who suffered
by the recent fire in San Francisco. Many
benevolent people in Berkeley have con
tributed toward the cause, and an appeal
is made for still more assistance. .
.' « Interesting Notes .;,"
Mrs. Joseph Le Conte left for Lake
Tahoe last evening to be away for several
weeks.
Judge Garber is lying ill at his home- on
Clareraont avenue. -
Rev. Charles J. Mason has resigned his
position as assistant rector of St. Marks
episcopal Church.
The delinquent tnxlist of the town of
Berkeley amounts to $1200 this year. The
property not redeemed . will be sold on
July 29. /.
The loss occasioned by the fire in West i
Berkeley on Sunday is estimated at $3000,
with $2000 insurance.
6t. Mark's Episcopal Church, now being
repaired, will seat 325 parishioners, while
before it would only accommodate about
150. About $2000 will be expended- in the,
work of rebuilding and refurnishing the

The "Royal" Baking Powder is recom

on cuisine in every larrd. Its sale is larger
than that of all other cream of tartar bak

friends among housekeepers than any other
similar article.
"Flitting" is the term used by the Penn
sylvania Hermans for a family moving.
This is also a Scotch usage, and it is nearer
the original meaning of the word than is
the more modera acceptation. Philolo
gists conjecture that the word has reached
its present common meaning through a
fancied relation to the word "fleet. A
flitting in the colio<juial usage of the Penn
sylvania Germans does not mean a hasty
removal, nor has it any jialf-hurnorous
intent, such as sometimes marks the word.
THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, JULY 2, 1895.
BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
The Alameda County Superior
Court Decides Its Com
position.
THE INCUMBENTS ARE FAVORED.
Chief Schaffer's Head Said to Be
In PerH Through the De
cision.
The Alameda County Buperior Court,
sitting in bank, decided the contest over
the seats in the Oakland Board of Public
Works in favor of the incumbents yester
day.
Judge Frick presided over the meeting
of the magistrates, and delivered their de
cision in the matter orally, as follows:
It is the opinion of the oourt that the legisla
tive authority of the City had the power to call
an election for the purpose of submitting pro
posed charter amendments to the qualified
voters of the city, and that such election need
not be held at the time and upon the day on
which a general election, legally called, for
some other purpose, was being held. The de
murrer to the compltint is therefore sustained.
This settles the matter as far as the
Alameda County courts are concerned,
Arthur ß Wilson
I and the only recourse that Messrs. Miller i
and Hughes, the deposed members, have is I
! in the Supreme Court, to which they will !
appeal as soon as the neceisary prelimi- |
»«.;.* „»., >^ -^«,r, *' ■ J * ?
naries can be arranged. !
The litigation^ which was brought to a |
: close by Judge Frlck's opinion, wwars r begun i
i immediately after the late election and i
affects a large: portion of the municipal ;
p, r »«c. .When » r PS &d ■
pa.ronagt. \\ hen Messrs and ,
: Wilson were declared elected they pro- ,
i ceeded with the; Mayor to oust the old
I board, consisting of Messrs.- Miller and ■
! Hughes. : The latter gave way after a i
j meeting of all interested parties haa been !
' held ... and la promise made ■by
the newly-elected board that no removafs !
would be made of incumbents in, salaried, j
offices until the courts had been given a ,
j chance to pass on the merits of the case.
Then Messrs. Hughes and Miller imme- j
j diately began suit to regain possession of j
: their seats, alleging that the election .by j
! which Messrs. Davie, Peirsol and "Wilson j
i were elected was not - legal and that they '
j should be allowed to serve out the term for |
' which they were appoint? ■'■■• ' •--.•_.,< ;
Messrs. Peirsol and Wilson and Mayor 1
; Davie, who was made a party to the suit, j
i demurred; to the complaint, and it was j
i agreed that the case should be decided on
j its merits by the court sitting in bank.
-. Both sides employed eminent counsel
! and the arguments on both sides were both
! long and ttrong. Now. that the court has i
finally passed on the matter it is under
stood - that ' Louis Schaffer, th« incompe-
I tent Ghief of Police, Chief Lawton of the
j Fire Department, and .his two assistants,
| and Superintendent of Streets Harrison
will lie at once removed and mon ap
pointed who Will be more to th« liking of
the members of the board. It is under-
J stood that Chief Schaffer is the only one
i with whom any particular dissatisfaction
is felt, and that Lis removal will be made
at once. Hugh Aldrich, a former member
of the department, who made a splendid
' record while on the force and then re
signed to take up:practice as an attorney,
is said to be the choice of the board,
though opposed by Councilman Bassett,
whose wishes are said to bear much weight
I with Mayor Davie. Should he succeed in
I getting the office a thorough reorganiza
tion of the force is; looked for. : .
• The Board •of Works meets to-day and
the impending- changes will be discussed.
; The wonderful sale of the Royal Baking
Powder-^greater than that of all other
baking powders combined — is perhaps the
highest evidence of the superiority of this
ariicleand of its indispensableness to mod

RUFFINO WAS WELL KNOWN
The Man Whose Body Was
Found in a Pullman-Car
Near Lynch burg.
Born In the Only Adobe Dwelling
of Early Days Now
Standing.
Louis J. Ruffino, whose dead body was
discovered in a Pullman car near Lynch
burg, Va., iast Thursday, was well known
in this community, particularly in the
Mission district,wbere he was born in 1855.
His father, who was an Italian, came to
this City in 1849 from Buenos Ayres and
with bis wife, a native of the latter coun
try, located in the immediate vicinity of
the old Mission church.
Early in 1850 he built'an adobe Building,
one of those picturesques structures of sun
dried mud, prevalent in the early days.
This building, which stood on the west
side of Dolores street, about twenty-rive
feet north of Sixteenth, is still there and is
the only adobe house in the old Mission,
except the Mission church, that has not
been removed in the march of im
provement, that has swept away
the old landmarks that for a long
time in the later years served to in
dicate were- lived the Valencias, the Guer
reros, the Sanchezes, the Kstudiilos, the
Castros, the Dennistons and other Spanish
families who were prominent in the his
tory of California. Additions have been
added to the old house with a view to.
modernize it and roses and creeping rises
hiive grown over the front. By the sides
flourish trees that were planted more than
three decades ago, and their foliage has
grown so dense as to almost hi<le from
view the one-time home of Don Fmr.cisco
Ruliino, as the old settler was called by
his neighbors.
A short 'flight of stairs that show the
signs of age lead one through and under
the bower of sweet blossoms to a narrow
porch, and when the front door is oponed
t.y one of the daughters of Don Francisco,
who still lives in the old homestead, there
is presented to the view the large square
rooms and the thick partition walls that
were the architectural ideal in those day?.
. This remnant of San Francisco's baby
days has been transferred to canvas, and
not long since the painting was exhibited
in the Hopkins Institute of Art.
The elder Ruffino wes the leading grocer
of the Mission in the days when the long
row of adobes with red-tile tops occupied
the western side of Dolores street, from
the church north, and faced Center street
(now Sixteenth). In later years he man
aged a large garden in the rear of his home.
"In this room," said Miss Rurßno last
evening, pointing to one of the inner cham
bers, "my brother was born. When he
left here in the early part of last mo.nth it
was the first time that he ever left his na
tive land. He had never been oi*t of the
State. In fact, I believe that he never had
been further away from the City than
Santa Cruz. Why, he never went as far as
Monterey.
"That he had any enemies, or that he
was murdered by one of the Mafia as has
been announced in a dispatch from Knox
ville, Term., is new to me. Ido not be
lieve that he had an enemy in the world.
He did not have any here that I ever
heard of, and it is hardly probable that he
made any during the short time he was in
the South.
"Nor do I for one moment believe that
my brother committed suicide. There
was no reason why he should have taken
his life. Everything was going well with
I him, and he had everything to live for. I
! will say thia, niy- brother suffered from
shortness of breath, not asthma, but a
difficulty in breathing. Then he was very
bald, and when he retired he always tied a
handkerchief over his head, tying the knot
behind. Possibly he awoke with a sense
of choking, struggled, and in that struggle
pulled the handkerchief down to his neck,
j and this is, no doubt, what gave rise to
j the belief that he had strangled himself."
Diagonally opposite the rose and vine
j covered home in which the man whose
' death is shrouded in mystery first saw the
John I. Oavie
light, on the east Side of Dolores street
stands a fine, large, modern two-story
■frame dwelling, one of the handsomest in
J? a \? ctl ? of S e , M ! M T; the foot of
marble steps that lead to the main en
trance is a marble square, in the center of
which, in rose and dark colored marble, is
a monogratu formed of the letters L. J. R.
This- is. the home of Mr*. Ruffiho, the
widow ' of . the man whose body is now -on
th * way .to the West. The interior of the
home - s - n keepin with its pr et, n tioiiß ez
terior, and.the furnishing shows that it was
directed by one of refined taste. . ■ ■;.
Within that home, now desolate by the
death of its owner, is the grief-stricken
widow, a woman of fine appearance and
kindly, face, who," with tearful eyes, is
awaiting the arrival of the mortal remains
of the one who in life had" been all the
world to her. • <•' _
'"There 18 nothing that I know at this
time," said Mrs. Rufiino last evening,
"that can shed any light upon the manner
of my poor husband's death. There is no
reason lor. supposing that, he took his life,
for he o,bh6rr<ul th« idea of suicide; and
often did I bear him . declare that any one
who committed suicide was a coward, and
I will say that my husband was not a cow
ard. . He was always cheerful, our home
was as happy as it could be. ; His business
had never been so prosperous as now, and
every letter I received from him was cheer
ful. I received such a good letter this
morning that was written by him when he
left New Orleans. In it he wrote of our in
tended trip in August. *. I was to have met
him at Truckee, then we were to visit Lace
Tahoe before returning home. He sent
me plants : : from Kentucky and told me
where to have them planted, so they might
be where he wanted them when he re-
turned. For seventeen years he had been
in the marble business. with Mr. Bianchi,
and he did not have an enemy, no one who
would do him a harm.' lam sure that he
did not commit suicide, for he would not
do it. His death was from natural
causes — "then Mrs. Ruffino "gave way to
tears and further utterance was choked. •
The body of the deceased will reach here
to-morrow or the day after,
Does a Deer Challenge?
I will try to reply to your question,
"Does a deer challenge?" In the Lake
Superior region it is not an uncommon
thing to hear a buck whistle, as we call it.
He may be following the trail of another
buck, or may be only disturbed by the
hunter. The sound, is, somewhat like es
caping steam, but shrill and loud enough
to be heard from a fourth to a half mile.
I have known one after Deing slightly
wounded to take cover in a dense swamp
and repeatedly send forth his angry chal
lenge. The sound is, I think, produced by
the throat and mouth, and would require
the head to be elevated and mouth sliphtly
open. lam of the opinion that this is the
only note of anger or warning that the
whitetail deer gives. — Forest and Stream.
The Reformed Mennonites number 1605,
with twenty-nine church buildings.
