Up to Date News of Alameda County. WHO OWNS THE BRIDGE? Webster-Street Draw Not Un der Control of the War Department. LIVERMORE ROAD BLOCKED. The Times to Be Sold To-Day to •Satisfy Judgments Held by Reporters. Oakland Office San Francisco Call,) 90S Broadway. October 10. J A conflict of opinion has arisen regard-, ing the right to control the Webster-street bridge. Some months ago Mayor Davie wrote to Secretary Lamont asking that ' something be done to remedy the present state of affairs on the estuary. He set forth that the bridges were worm-eaten and in danger of collapsing, and that one good iron bridge would be of more service •than the two at present being used. The Southern Pacific Railroad Company has some rights over the "Webster-street bridge that will not expire for many years, bo it was proposed that the railroad, the Gov ernment and the county come together and arrange a plan that would be mutu ally agreeable both as to design and to cost. Some weeks ago the whole matter was j referred to the District Attorney, and to- j day he rendered a long opinion to the effect that the Webster-street bridge is solely under the control of the county. A great deal of verbiage is attached to the opinion, but the following paragraph clear ly expresses the view held by the District Attorney : It is apparent from the reading of the trans cript, hereto attached, that the Webster-street bridge was constructed under a statute which provided t_»at certain commissioners be ap pointed by the city of Oakland and the town ship of Alameda for said purpose, and that subsequently thereto, as will be perceived by I a reference to said transcript, the Legislature i in 1877 passed an act placing the bridge under j the control of the Board of Supervisors of the county of Alameda. That thereafter, by pro ceedings duly had, a right of way was given to the South Pacific Coast RallroadCompany to use said bridge for the purpose of running trains across the same, under the conditions that it would repair the bridge and increase the size of the draw. The report of your committee evidences the fact that the said draw of said bridge was changed, and the bridge construct ed iv accordance with the agreement made with the South Pacific Coast Railroad Cem pany, and has" ever since been used by said railroad for the purpose of carrying on its traffic in the city ot Oakland. The Webster-street bridge was constructed by authority of the State Legislature. The statute authorizing the construction was a proper exercise of authority on the part of the State. There has been no statute passed by the United States Congress which affects or ap pertains to the government, by Congress, of the . navigable waters known as the estuary of San Antonio, and until some act is passed by Con gress affecting the subject-matter the War De partment will have no control over said bridge, unless the draw of such bridge is such that it cannot accommodate vessels navigating the estuary. Any chances that are to .be made in said bridge must be made with the consent of the Board of Supervisors, and then only made in the construction of the bridge where it now stands. . .. ; . ■*-. THE BOAD DELATED. The Livermore Franchise Is Taken Into the Supreme Court. -, G. P. Vandercook is being considerably hampered by the- operations of the dis gruntled bidders who were not awarded tbe franchise for an electric road to Liver more. The franchise was awarded Mr. Vandercook, and after learning what Van dercook's bid was two parties named Mac donald and Thomson offered .what they considered a little higher bid and then demanded that the Supervisors award the franchise to them. The Supervisors were advised that they had no power to auction off franchises after the bids were received nnd gave the franchise to Vandercook. The case was taken before Judge Ellsworth and he up held the Supervisors. Now the case has been taken into the Supreme Court and several months will elapse before it is reached. In the meantime Vandercook cannot commence to build, and what promised a lot of work during the winter will be delayed till next spring. Mr. Vandercook said to-day that the ap peal was simply taken to block matters; that Macdonafd and Thomson were not railroad men and were working for other parties, and that the natural uncertainty that would exist pending an appeal would prove very annoying. Meanwhile the Vandercook Company, which already owns a road from Broadway, Oakland, to Fruitvale, is continuing to secure rights of way and to complete its surveys. A NEWSPAPER SALE. The Sheriff Will Offer the Oakland Times Under the Hammer. To-morrow is the date set by the Sheriff for the sale of the Oakland Times. Many deals have been reported, but up till to night nothing definite .is known. It seems as if the reporters' claims will eat up the paper. Surprise was expressed when it became known that C. L. Max well had purchased the judgments of the reporters. Mr. Maxwell is the present proprietor of the paper in the interest of .the stockholders, but the judgments against the paper were obtained prior to the assignment. When the paper comes up for sale Maxwell will be able to pur chase the whole paper for the price of the judgments, $379, if nobody bids against 1 him. Discnsaed the Tax Levy. The City Council spent anoth/r evening discussing the tax levy. The ordinance introduced by Heitman embodying the Mayor's ideas of how the dollar limit can be made to run the city was brought up. Councilman Buckland' moved that the street-lighting fund be reduced from 14*^ to 9*4 cents, and the 5 cents be added to the school fund, making 8 cents for 1 , the schools.. This was carried by the usual ; vote of 7 to 4, and then Heitman said that the Council might just as well accept . the Mayor's figures now as in the future, be cause Davie had assured him that nothing would be safe from the veto except his ; (the Mayor's) levy. Expensive "Sport." ! In Justice Cliffs court to-day those who attended the dog-fight at Bottomley's barn early Sunday morning, Beptember22, were given an idea of what awaits them if brought before him for sentence.

The bond was fixed at $150 pending appeal. Robert Emmett pleaded guilty and was fined $25, which he paid. -.'•', Roth Were Guilty. In the case of Miko Gormley and F. H.

BERKELEY MASS-MEETING A Thorough Discussion of the School Bond Ques- tion Was Had. Students * Debate— A New Greek Letter Fraternity Formed at the University. BERKELEY, Cal., Oct. 10.— mass meeting was held in South Berkeley last night to discuss the question of bonding the town for school buildings. President Boone of the Board of Education delivered an address favoring the construction of a high school building, a grammar school at West Berkeley and one at Dwight way. He advocated bonding the town for $100,000. Principal Waterman of the East Berkeley schools spoke of the recent rapid increase in the number of pupils in attendance at the local schools, and urged the immedi ate importance of new schools. School Di rector Norton and Town Trustee Gage favored bonds for $150,000. Trnstee Cripps gave it as his opinion that $100,000 was sufficient. ' Trustee Hoff stated, that he felt bound by his constituents of West Berkeley to oppose a high school and to vote against bonding the town for over $75,000. Trustee Martin said he would not vote for any bonding proposition that did not provide for a high school. The mass meeting finally adopted the following resolution. :-■-—. ; ;'. . Resolved, That we have confidence ln our Board of Education and will vote for bonds in any amount they ask for. The Board of Education has already asked for $100,000 worth of bonds. A New Fraternity.

The One Dollar Label on Unwater marked Paper Said to Be "Worth 55.. - From information obtained at the Post office in this City it would appear that there is some one in the East operating to secure a corner in the $1 stamps that were issued to supersede the Columbian stamps. All the stamps of the United States up to quite recently have been printed on plain paper, but owing to the discovery of wholesale forgeries of 2-cent stamps in Canada the Postoffice Department, in or der to throw an additional safeguard around the manufacturing of stamps, or dered that all printing should be on water marked .paper. At the time this order went forth but a comparatively few of the $1 stamps had been printed on the unwater marked paper, and it now appears that a St. Louis firm of stamp-dealers at once set to work to secure all it could of these stamps. -Their purchases soon resulted in a dearth of this denomination and a new lot had to be ordered»from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing at Washington. This supply is on the watermarked paper, and in consequence those that were issued on the plain paper are bound to be worth a considerable premium. ' Only. 2000 ; of _- the : $1 ; unwatermarked stamps were. received in this City, and of these 1200 were secured by the St. Louis speculators. i They first sent a telegram to the Postmaster asking him to reserve this quantity and then forwarded the remit tance for them. This purchase nearly de pleted ; the local oflice of this value, as it left but 300 On' band. A new supply was at once ordered, but : they I were on water marked paper, and . the .' ; j ,00 \of ■-. the : rarer character were soon sold for regular use. Ever since it leaked out among the local stamp-collectors that | a corner was being made in these stamps there have been nu merous inquires made . for the '$1 stamp,* and those who: are fortunate enough to f)osscsß a copy _of the much-sought-for abel already value it at $5. '-'.'. ' T THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FBIDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1895: "SPEEK-EASIES" RAIDED. Berkeley's Marshal Strongly Enforces the New Liquor - Ordinance. :/'.:.'/-:: I 4/^4:4.' . .; • • '^v 7. SEVEN DEALERS IN TROUBLE. An Exciting- Day 'ln the Usually Quiet University Town — Ar rests to Be Made. BERKELEY, Oct. 10, 1895.— The wave of reform has reached Berkeley, and there is prospect not only of "dry Sundays,".* but dry weekdays as well. All the .--speak easies" are closed, the cigar-stores with small rooms in the rear no longer sell "temperance drinks," the billiard-hall signs reading "soda" . are now true to reality, and the drug-store clerks ask would-be purchasers of a private supply of fluids that cheer, for physicians' pre scriptions. This sweeping change in Berkeley life was wrought in one short hour this morning when Marshal Lloyd and several deputies started forth to exert the authority accorded them by the new liquor ordinance of Berkeley. The visits of the officers were as startling as bomb shells to the unsuspecting keepers of the various places where Berkeley users of liquor have been wont to satisfy their ap petites for the various liquids which are legally supposed never to approach within a mile of the University of California. For years half a dozen or more cigar-stores, hotels, cafes and drugstores have freely sold drinks in sufficient quantity to satisfy the wants of an accomplished explorer of the cocktail routes of San Francisco. They have readily admitted total strangers to the ;' bar of intemperance, no questions being asked, no open sesame being necessary but the price. Marshals have succeeded, one another, temperance agitators have come and gone, and candi dates have taken pledge after pledge to close the "speak-easies,-' but the liquor men have smiled and still continued to quench thirsts of all kinds. The immediate cause of the tremendous, change is an ordinance recently passed by thej Town Trustees. Its provisions supply the one great requisite needed to enable en forcement of Berkeley's liquor laws— right of search. Hitherto there was no way for an officer to secure evidence of violation of the law, except by finding some one who was willing to testify to having entered the sanctum sanctorum of a "temperance house*' and sampled its beverages. : But the new law forbids even the storing of liquor in any part of the town without a license, and permits the Marshal ostensi bly to guard against dangers of fire from inflammatory liquids, to enter any estab lishment to which his suspicions "may be directed and explore its recesses for him self, x-'y/. . •. A small room, with a pretty little bar, in the rear of George H. Strieker's cigar store, on Shattuck avenue, opposite Berkeley sta tion, was entered by Marshal Lloyd, in company with W. H. Bone, and a few minutes later the executive officer of Berkeley was, loading an express wagon with some excellent whisky and a valuable stock of wines and beer. Fonzo's cafe, kept by Fred Fonzo, on Center street, near Shattuck avenue, was. entered by Lloyd and Deputy Rawson.and the wagon received another stock of contraband goods. The California Hotel, conducted by J. Doran on the corner ol Shattuck street and University avenue, was visited by Deputy Marshal Esmond and Deputy Sheriff Davis, and the Acheson Hotel, on tbe opposite corner of the same streets, managed by A. Berg, also received an offi cial visit from the officers of the law, who had by this time received a . supply of liquors. The billiard-hall of , S. Salomon was searched, but no spirituous beverages were found there. Mr. Salomon's sign, "Soda and Cigars," appeared to be fully descriptive of the salable stock he owns. Their labors over in the immediate vicin ity of Berkeley station, the officers turned their attention to other stores in the town. A notion, soda water and cigar store on Telegraph avenue, just across the street from the northeast entrance to the univer sity grounds, was entered, and the officers found three demijohns of fire-water, eight bottles of pale lager and a bottle of native wine. •■ The stock seemed to be small consider ing the reputation the stationery-store, which is owned ■ by Mrs. Silvershield, has Jong enjoyed, and the officersproceeded to pry for further discoveries. Four dozen more bottles of pale lager and five gallons of whisky were found in a dark closet in one of Mrs. Silvershield's rooms. In a stationery-store kept by Mrs. Mullagher, opposite Mrs. Silvershield's, Deputies Raw son and Osmond found four dozen bottles of the same Dale lager, with which Mr 3. Silvershield has presumably been regaling her customers, and four "demijohns of stronger stuff, j Mrs. Mullagher had a trapdoor in front of her establishment, but it proved of no avail against the Sherlock Holmes of Berkeley. A few bottles of beer were found in a store kept by Mrs. Thompson at North Berkeley station. This completed the day's finds of the officers, and the whole collection, barrels, cases, crates, demijohns . and bottles was carted to the Town Hall, in the lobby of which there is now a stock of liquor, prob ably the largest ever gathered together in Berkeley. Everything in the way of. "bracers" is there. There are wines, beers, whisky, brandy, and even the mysterious bottled concoctions that help to give a drugstore appearance to large saloons. - ■, : The I proprietors of the seven places in which liquor was found will all be arrested ' under Berkeley's new liquor ordinance. The charge to be placed against the per sons named is that of storing liquor and holding it for sale in violation of the ordi nance. ■■ . -Az'47"~7-' : Marshal Lloyd stated this evening that he has no evidence of the actual pale of liquor by any of the parties mentioned, but of the storing' there can be no ques tion, and convictions are- certain in every case if ; the ordinance stands in the courts. \ The ordinance. in question provides as a penalty for its violation a fine or imprison ment, or both, the fine to be not under $50 and not over $300, and the imprisonment for not less than one month and not over three months. The raid has caused much excitement in Berkeley. It is the most successful move ever made against the illicit liquor traffic in the town and gives promise of future rigid enforcement of Berkeley's i liquor ordinances. : •-_.. •.-...' ■■■'■'-'■ l - The total value of the liquor secured is about $300. It is expected that those who are to be arrested will vigorously contest against the new ordinance, but local lights in the legal profession say there -are no boles in the law. The only places among those . raided to day that received any patronage from uni versity students were those of Mrs. Mul lagher and Mrs. Silvershield. These two stores were within ten yards of the univer sity grounds. It has long been common report that liquor of all kinds was to be ob tained in the places in question, and few students were unaware of the fact. WILL WATOH 7 STBEET "WORK. George W. Elder Made Special Expert by the Street Committee. .- George W. Elder was officially appointed special expert on street work: by the Street Committee of the Board of Supervisors yesterday. The action was formulated in the following shape: That George W. Elder be appointed on behalf of the Street Committee as the expert of said committee to inspect and report on the pave ment of roadways and their construction, also as to the construction of sewers and cesspools, to serve without compensation. • Elder heads the list of special men em ployed by Supervisor Spreckels,' chairman of the Street . Committee, to check the frauds on street work, so he is fully paid for his services. The appointment was made because of the frauds discovered lately in street work. The Grand Jury .is investigating them. The Guerrero-street and Twelfth-street jobs, both discovered 7by Elder, were strongly condemned by tbe Supervisors on investigation. The indications, are : that the Grand Jury does not intend to let them drop, and that the culprits will eventually be punished for the attempts to swindle the City. In both cases Street Superintendent Ash worth's men made no complaint, and passed the jobs as satis factory. The contractors undoubtedly would have been paid for the rotten work but for the protest of Expert Elder. He will have nearly as much say hereafter as the Street Superintendent about the ac ceptance of street work. HELPING OUT ALAMEDA Large Taxpayers Come to the Relief of the Treas ury. The Suspension of Claims Against the City Will Not Lone 7 j Continue. ALAMEDA, Cal., Oct. 10.— The city will not be long without money to pay : claims if large taxpayers follow the ex ample of the Alameda Savings Bank and. the Encinal Building and Loan Associa tion, which institutions intend to pay their tax bills as soon as they are made out. This will be done in . a few days, so that the city treasury will have ample money shortly to allow the Trustees to order war rants drawn and salaries paid. The Alameda Savings Bank will pay taxes on all the mortgages held by it, and as these aggregate about $7000, it will help things out considerably. The Encinal Building and Loan Association pays taxes to the amount of $1045, and this sum will be paid as soon as the bill is presented. Taxes have already commenced to come in, and Treasurer Wheeler is only too glad to receive them and not make any point as to the bills not having been made out yet. *- •_ - ■a-.vzj-/-/.^:" -. Olsen Gets Three Months. Peter Olsen, convicted on . Saturday last on a charge of battery for beating his wife, was sentenced yesterday by Justice Swasey to three months' imprisonment in the County Jail. Counsel for the defense made an impassioned plea and moved for a new trial on the ground of irregularities in the proceedings of court in permit ting testimony to be introduced referring to mortgages, a divorce and impeachment in another matter Which prejudiced the case of the defendant and prevented him from having a fair trial. Olsen got off very lightly, as it is currently reported that he made threats against the life of the Justice, and might have been sentenced to pay a fine of $1000 and six months' im prisonment. Opposition to Sieben's Insolvency. The petition of Philip Sieben to be de clared an insolvent debtor is being bitterly opposed by the Wheeler & Wilson Sewing' Machine Company. Counsel for Sieben has demurred to the allegations of the creditors and claims that the reason for the opposition is not provided for in the insolvent act of 1895, and his action in 1893 cannot now be used against him in reference to his final discharge. Sieben deeded his property to his wife in 1893. Colonel Mendell's Estimate. The committee recently appointed to memorialize Congress to include a suffi cient sum in its harbor appropriation to build the proposed dam and floodgate at the entrance to San Leandro Bay has re ceived a reply from Colonel Mendell. An estimate of $65,000 has been made by the latter as the amount required to make the improvement. Bicycle Parade. The Alameda cyclers and the Diamond Club cyclers had a "lantern parade" on Park street to-night, 1 and more than 100 riders were in line. To-morrow the Ala meda cyclers give an entertainment at Linderman Opera-house. This will mark the reopening of the bouse after its thor ough renovation and improvement. Assaulted His Companion, William Spicer was arrested this morn ing by Constable yon Kapff on a charge of assaulting, .William Gardner. The men were on a narrow-gauge train and Spicer jammed Gardner between the door, badly cutting his head and crushing his fingers. Tuolumne County Pioneers. The pioneers of Tuolumne County now living in Alameda, prominent among whom are Henry Sevening and Dr. W. P. Gibbons, will hold their annual reunion and banquet at the Rose House, on Ninth street, Oakland, on Saturday evening. HELP FOR ERRING GIRLS. Parlor Meeting by the Board of Man agers of the Girls' Training Home. The board of managers of the California Girls' Training Home held a parlor meet ing at 2524 Gough street, where they were entertained by Mrs. W. J. Stringer, yes terday. '.;':: :;:z:^-.4 Miss L. H. Baker, the retiring matron of the home, gave an interesting. address on the work and needs of the institution. She will leave Monday for the East, where she will fill numerous engagements in the presentation of pleas for work and workers among the slums. Her home for the pres ent will be Atlantic Highlands, N. J. She will be accompanied on her home ward journey by Miss Mayme Holcombe, the assistant matron of the Girls' Home, who will continue to take an active inter est in reform "work among women in Louisville, Ky., and elsewhere. Mrs. K. L. W. Davis, the presiding offi cer, spoke' of the necessity for individual work on the * part of the friends of the home, and Mrs. Mason, the treasurer, said the treasury must be replenished or the home would have to be closed. The ab sence of many of the liberal friends of the home from the City during^ the summer had crippled its finances. The need of a larger home was emphasized by all j the speakers. 7 A lady who is interested in the institu tion will give , her services in its manage ment until a successor for Miss Baker is secured. Saed'.'for Insurance. The case of Christine Selby of Seattle against the Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York was j submitted on ; , arguments ,in i the United States Circuit Court yesterday. John Selby. the husband of the complainant, took out three policies ■- in - the company, one . for $5000 and two more for $2500 each. After the death of the husband the defendant refused to pay the policies on the ground that it had dis covered that at : the time the policies, were taken out the insured was suffering from dis eases which he had concealed from the exam ining physicians. Mrs. Selby sued in the lower Court and received judgment. A Barber J- Arrested.' L. P. Lippert, a barber at 4 'Post street, was arrested yesterday on ; a warrant charging him with ''keeping open and conducting . a barber shop after 12 m. on a legal holiday." He was re leased on depositing $40 bail. .'• NEW USE FOR HAIRPINS Electric Carmen Required to Suggest a Substitute for Them. ... PUZZLING QUESTIONS \ ASKED.' Conductors Must Also Be Able to Tell the Ages of Young sters on Sight. . . ■ "... . •: -■■ ■■ Oakland Office San Francisco Call,) 908 Broadway, October 10. ( A new system of employing motormen and conductors on the most extensive elec tric road system in Alameda County went into effect to-day. The large number of accidents, the numerous verdicts returned by Coroners' juries censuring the railroad companies, and the growing tendency of courts to award heavy damages to muti lated victims, have made it imperative that the many electric road companies do all in their power to protect themselves. Here after any one who want? to be employed on the Oakland Consolidated lines will have to serve a few weeks' apprenticeship before taking a stiff examination to admit him to the company's service. j f The examination paper handed to mo tormen contains thirty-seven questions. Some of the questions, are easily an swered, but the following queries indicate the general nature of the written examina tion: If a person should get in front of your car and you could not brake your car in time to save said person, what is the first thing you would do? If you should hear an explosion on your car what would you look for first? Suppose there was an obstruction on the track so you could not proceed, what would you do with your car and passengers? . Suppose in ascending a grade your wheels slipped, what would you do? Suppose your brake should get out of order from any cause, how would you stop your car? Suppose you find your moters "bucking," what would you do first? The twenty-fifth query is indeed a co nundrum to the average passenger and suggests a new use for a leading article of ladies' toilet. . a--:--7v-v<,^ .7. 7*/:. ■-*-. Suppose you had used your last fuse and there should happen to be no lady on board to give you the traditional hairpin, what would you do in that case? v ;•',; The examination j papers for conductors contain twenty-six questions and are much more general. Among these queries are the following: 7_>"7777"7 Suppose a passenger gets on your car with several small children and you are uncertain about their ages, what should you do? Suppose a passenger got on your car with a transfer after the time punched in the margin had expired, what would you do? Suppose you had a collision or a person got hurt getting on or off your car or got struck by your car, what would you do? .'- > • Suppose that through mistake you had col lected a fare from one person twice, what would you do on having your attention called to it? • • '.'_',-• • - Suppose a passenger should break a pane of glass in your car, what would you do about it? In running a main line car, how far do you carry a passenger for one fare? . If a passenger should give you a $20 piece for a fare and you could not change it, what would you do? ; A New Republican Club. A large and enthusiastic meeting of the Re publicans of the Thirtieth Assembly. District was held at Music Hall, 927 Mission street, last evening. F. E. Wallace was elected temporary chairman and T.
