HE MUST BUY HIS GRAVE
The Humble Wish of Dr. Renken j
Cannot Be Carried
Out.
BANKS' STAR IS NOW SAFE.
Ex-Chief of Police Schaffer Will
Not Waste Time Pressing
Charges.
Oakland Offitk Sab Fraxcipco Call,)
908 Broadway , Nov. & j
Dr. Renken believed in living and labor
ing with the poor, and according to the
terms of his will he wanted to "lie with
his poor brethren ami not be above any
one else." Now it appears that this wish
of his cannot be carried out.
Mrs. Renken, the widow, says that some '
years ago she and her husband talked the
matter over ami they agreed that when i
the first of them should die the living one !
should give the other a burial in the pot- j
ter's field and then arrange to be treated •
in the same manner when death should j
claim the remaining one. At a later date !
crematories were established and they |
both agreed in their desire to be cremated
and to have their ashes interred in the
potter's field.- Dr. Renken's body was
cremated at Cypress Lawn, and the ashes
are there now awaiting the directions of
the widow. She has been informed that
ground space cannot be obtained in the
potters neld either in Cypress Lawn or
Mountain View cemeteries, because the
rules forbid the giving of graves to any
wno leave morie y enough to buy a lot.
In the petition the estate is said to be
worth $7930. With the exception of a few
small legacies. the property is left to the
w ife, Catherine.
Charges of Bribery.
It now seems likely that the charges
against Police Officer Banks will meet the
same fate at the hands of the Police Com
missioners as was accorded those against
ex-Chief of Police SchafTor by the Grand
Jury. At a meeting of the Commissioners
this morning Banks' attorney took excep
tion to the charge?, on the ground that
they were sicned by Schafler as Chief of
Police. Although another man baa burn
been in oilier three months Schaffer : till
claims to be the head of the department,
fer then said that he riled the charges
as an ordinary citizen, but President Wil
son ruled that the charges signed by
Hchaffer personally should be dismissed
on the ground of informality.
The charge of bribery against Banks was
then taken up, and Attorney usbaumer
took it to pieces in a legal manner, and
v, hen he concluded his argument informed
the board that the document tiled with
them contained no charges at all. He .said
he believed that the charges were the re
sult of a conspiracy, and that it was cer
tainly peculiar that Chief Schaffer should
have known of this corrupt act of Banks'
for four years before being anxious to see
that justice was done. Commissioner
Peirsol said he was willing to grant Mr. :
Sohaffer the privilege of filing new charges,
as the present ones would manifestly not
' bo pertinent.
BcbaHer said he had spent considerable j
\tirne in hunting up the witnesses, as he i
wanted to show what kind of an officer !
Banks was, but he said he did not propose ';
to spend any more time in the matter. If ■
the board wanted an amended complaint it j
would have to get some one else to file it.
Mayor Davie said it whs the proper thing j
for Behaffer to get his .charges in proper
form as the board could do nothing until
that was done.
"Then I withdraw and refuse to have
anything more to do with it," said .•Schaf
fer. But finally he was granted a week in
which to tile new charges if he saw tit.
"Political Stiffs."
Last week the Merchants' Exchange of
Oakland gave a banquet and Mayor Davie
made a speech. He said several things
about the Council ; among other things the
Mayor referred to the present administra
tion in the following terms: "They are
too lavish with your money. They ask for
$13,000 to repair Eighth-street bridge, and I
am informed the work can be clone for
$2500. They were going to spend $10,000 to
fix the Twelfth-street dam. We looked :
into and have just finished the work at a
cost of $31. You must not let them go on
at this rate. If you do they will feather !
their own nests and you can whistle."
Councilman Mott, who is chairman of j
the Finance Committee, has waited for j
several days for the Mayor to deny the |
published report of his speech. "He has j
not done so," said Mr. Mott, "and there
fore I assume he really did make use of ;
the language attributed to him. lam !
willing at all times to give proper and due
attention to the proper suggestions of the
man whom the people of this city have I
seen tit to elect as their chief executive
officer. Vet I shall not be one to sit tamely
by and permit any one. even the Mayor of
the city, to accuse unchallenged the mem- ;
bers of this Council of being derelict in
their duties or of feathering iheir own '
nests. I now announce that I shall ever j
. be ready to defend myself whenever and
wherever I may be attacked.
"The Mayor says that we are afraid to
knock out some of those political stiffs !
who are now attending to our park and do j
not know a cauliflower from a sunflower. >
if his Honor means to intimate that this I
Council is desirous in anyway of doing
aught but its whole duty, I desire to say '
that not only is his Honor going out of his
way to cast slurs upon a body of men who |
are at least his peers In intelligence and
integrity, but he is insulting those who are ;
not given to using the questionable meth- i
ods of making political capital in which
the Mayor delights."
Mrs. Totld's Claim.
• A very lengthy communication from
Mrs. K. G. Todd ha? been riled with the i
Board of Education. The lady states that j
there is now due her from the city of Oak- j
land, for services which she has been
illegally debarred from performing, $5083. !
She says: "My claim will be a perpetual J
one and will be presented at regular inter- i
vals throughout the future if not paid by J
your body, increasing at the rate of $1017 60
per annum until the Board of Education
or special act of the Legislature or other I
means can 'be found to pay it. If at my !
death my claim should still be unpaid it is
my intention to bequeath it to my chil- I
dren with special instructions to keep it
rolling until Oakland's opinion can settle
itself upon some basis of equity and
justice, when I have no doubt it will be |
recognized and honored. I simply refer
you to my booK, Pinxit, for further
enlightenment ana for proofs of the teach
ers'flabsolute right to vote on {educational ;
matters.
"The eyes of the whole worid are turned
toward California as the one State that has
furnished the crime of a century, and this j
crime is the direct and undisputed result j
of the wrongs of California's educational |
system which I have pointed out to you.
When teachers are denied a voice in be
half of the purity of their profession, and
when that right :is given to negroes,
drunks, foreigners, pardoned .convicts, etc.,
a feeling of disrespect is engendered among j
a large proportion of the boys of the pub- j
lie schools, for the girls of the public ;
Reboots, for the vicious sentiment growing
and spreading and being faithfully. nur
tured by masculine law."
1 School Director Edwards moved that the
remaining sheets of the communication
be referred to the Judiciary Committee,
and his motion prevailed.
To Be Experted Again.
The trouble over the insecure condition
of the new Grant School has reached the
J.oard of Education, and at last night's
meeting Arthur Brown was appointed by
the board to examine the building on its
behalf. It was intimated that the School
Directors did not place much faith in the
report of the Mayor's expert. Until Mr.
Brown shall have reported nothing further
Will bo done in the matter.

PARK-STREET EXTENSION.
Why Hebard Obtained a Permit
to Carry a Concealed
Weapon.
Assignment of Rooms in the City Hall.
Electric Light Works
Removal.
ALAMEDA, Cal., Nov. s.— The exten
| sion of the California Railroad to Park
i street has for some timo pagt attracted
. ranch attention. The belief was enter
: tamed that the desire of the company was
i to reach Walnut street along the south
] bank of the tidal canal. The company
; yestordav laid their rails across Park
street at the western boundary of that
thoroughfare. This attracted attention
and caused H. A. Hebard to feel that it
i was the intention of the company to build
' its line through his property without pay
, ing for it. When the tracklayers began
; work he took out a permit; from the City
Clerk's ofh'co to carry a concealed weapon.
He then asserted that he would protect
! his property at all hazards. At the meet
j ing of the Trustees last night the question
I was raised as to whether or not the line
1 across Jt'ark street was not within the city
Limits. The City Attorney and City Engi
; neer were instructed to look into the niat
| ter and report immediately.
President Rank was interviewed with
; reference to the matter, and said that it
seemed to him that people who it was al
i leged had jumped property in Alameda
, had come to the conclusion that his com-
I puny proposed to do the same thing. Our
; company wa3 granted a franchise some
time ago to the western line of Park street.
'We nad built on the franchise to a
point near the east line of that thorough
fare. Then somebody said we liad not
i completed our road under the franchise,
and 1 told the men they might as well lay
the rails across Park street, so as to not
enable anybody to say that we had not
completedthe road. With regard to the
ri^ht which Hebard claims in the prop-
S erty, it is said that some time ago there
■ was a slough there and when the dredging
| of the canal tools place the Government
tilled the slough, which was a part of the
I marsh, and then Hebard moved his fence
j outside the part filled in. He tried to gel
I the Supervisors to tax him for the prop
j erty, but they refused "to do it."
Advocating Home Trade.
The Great American Concert and Rtere
opticon Company drew a crowded house
at the Lindennann Opera-house this even
ing. A large number of views of the lead
inir business houses and manufactories
were shown. Professor J. H. Tigner stated
that the object was to call, attention to
Pacific Coast manufactories and advocate
the patronage of home industries. He had
devoted years to the study of business
methods and to the economics of the
means of bringing producer and consumer
closer together for mutual and community
benefit. The company will appear again
tomorrow night at the same place.
Built on Generous Proportions.
The City Trustees have made the assign
j ment of rooms in the City Hall. They
will occupy the rooni3 designated for them
on the west side of the building on the
second floor. The basement will ne occu
pied by the City Marshal, jail and Record
' er's Court. The jail i.sa large one and will
be ample to holdall the prisoners of Ala
meda County. The hall has been built on
! generous proportions and all of the officers
I of the municipal government hove ample
I room, and should the occasion require the
fpacs could be greatly reduced.
lleinoval Would lie Expensive.
A rumor was in circulation to-day that
I the proposition to remove the electric light
: works to the foot of Grand street would
j be commenced in a few days. The city
j electrician, however, knew nothing of the
! proposed cdange, and the Trustees would
I not think of moving the plant without
I consulting him. A prominent citizen who
owns property in the neighborhood stated
i it would require an expensive piling foun
: dation to keep the heavy machinery from
! vibrating. The land is low and would not
be suitable for electric light machinery.
Final Account Approved.
The final account of Violet A. Francis,
administratrix of the estate of A. B.
I Francis, has been approved by Judge
Frick. The estate, which consists of a
house and lot on Sherman street, has been
distributed to Violet A., Millard li. and
George H. Francis, share and share alike.
Broke Hia Leg.
John Vassaler.adairyman, while cutting
limbs from a big eucalyptus tree to-day,
lost his footing and fell to the ground,
breaking one of his legs. Dr. Sauder
treated the injured man.
The sense of touch is most acute when
the skin is warm, because then the circu
lation is good. Muffs were formerly used
by doctors in order to keep their hands
warm and enable them properly to judge
of the pulse of their patients.

The thirty-ninth annual meeting of the
General Association of Congregational
Churches convened this morning in the
new Market-street Congregational Church.
i Rev. J. If. Warren called the meeting to

After a short devotional service the elec
tion of olncers was proceeded with. Revs.
F. H. Foster, J. 11. Morse, O. B. Hatch
and M. Willitt were put in nomination,
and after three ballots Rev. Mr. Foster was
declared the choice of the convention for
moderator. For assistant moderator Rev.
G. B. Hatch was elected. Rev. G. T. Me-
Collum was elected scribe and Rev. B. F,
Moody was elected assistant scribe.
At the afternoon session several reports
were read, including that on the Pacific
Theological Seminary. The reports of
delegates to other bodies and the address
of the representative of the Bible Society.
together with the report of the committee
on' Christian Endeavor, constituted the
afternoon program me.
The convention will continue in session
until Friday morning. To-morrow after
noon the women will have the iloor for
one hour, after which a paper by 11. N.
Hoyt, D.D., of Sacramento on" revivals
and how best to promote them will be
read. In the evening the anniversary of
the California Home Missionary Society
will be celebrated.
The most interesting person attending
the convention is Rev. Dr. Warren, the
oldest Congregational minister on the
coast. Pr. J. K. McLean is generally
thought to be a landmark of Congrega
tionalism in California, but Dr. Warren's
active service antedates that of Dr. Mc-
Lean by fourteen years. When the Gens
eral Association was organized there wcro
but few Congregational churches in the
Ktatc. Dr. Warren has officiated at the
dedication of many and he is a familiar
figure wherever a church of his faith is
maintained.
ANOTHER BOLD BURGLARY
\ The House of Mrs. de Lorme, the
Artist, Ransacked at
Night.
School Bonds Hang Fire— Crescents
to Entertain — A
Donation.
BERKELEY, Ca.l., Nov. s.— The Board
of Education held a meeting last night at
the Town Hall. President Boone stated
that nothing could be done at the present
time with regard to t he petition for bonds,
since it has been found absolutely neces
sary that the committee appointed by the
Board of Town Trustees to present plans
and specifications for school buildings
shall tile a report before the petition can
be legally presented.
The Finance Committee took exceptions
to the bills of the Alameda Water Com
pany, on the ground that the charges for
water had been made by the thousand gal
lons instead of at 1 per cent per child per
month, according to the schedule aHr>nr*>,j
by the Trustees. The bills of the company
were referred to the Town Attorney.
A short time ago the board requested
Principal Waterman to prepare a list of
the diplomas and certificates held by
teachers in the High, Le Conte, Kellogg,
Lorin and Whittier schools, which he
read last night. The prime object of the
board in making this request could not be
learned, bit whatever was their motive
the report .showed that the entire number
of teachers, excepting two, held certificates
higher than the primary.
Crescents Will Entertain.
The Crescent Athletic Club is preparing
for a grand entertainment to be uiven on
the evening of the 15t£ inst. The pro
gramme will consist largely of music, reci
tations, boxing and acrobatic feats.
The original feature will be a bicycle race
in two trial heats and a final. The wheels
used will be on the platform, and by a
system of clockwork the relative speed of
tin' rulers at every yard of the race will be
recorded on a dial in full view of the audi
ence. The distance will be two miles.
Another Bold Burglary.
Another burglary, similar to the one
which took place last Saturday morning
at the home of Dr. Roscnstirn on Durant
avenue, occurred last night in North
Berkeley, the house of Mrs. de Lorme, the
artist, having been ransacked and relieved
of JS49 00.
Thi* morning Mrs. de Lorme went up
stairs to the second story of her residence
to get some change with which to pay a
bill. When she entered the room where
i the money was supposed to have been
I everything was in confusion. On going
, to the bureau 6he found that her purse
, was gone.
i The lady rooms on the third floor of the
; building, and hearing no noise in the
: night, did not suspect that anything was
j wrong until going to the robbed room.
I The thief had evidently climbed up on
i the porch to a second - story window,
j through which he made his entrance. The
; porch and room were tracked with muddy
; footprints.

Women" As Trolley-Cab Conductors. —
Women are talcing so kindly to the ama
teur duties of car conducting that it will
not be surprising if some of them go a step
further and make it a business. So far, it
is true, their experience of the calling has
been had undtr privileged conditions, but
the impression is gaining ground that
women could make a success of car con
ducting just as well in America as in
Mexico, where a female car conductor is
no uncommon sight. The raid of the
members of the Syracuse (X, V.) Young
Women's Christian Association on the
cars Of the city, the receipts of which were
given over to* them for one day for the
benefit of the association house was so
effectively carried out that $1500 was
realized and handed over to the associa
tion fund. The cars were all draped and
dressed in bunting, and the women were
radiant and well equipped for their cam
paign in best bib and tucKer. No
change was given, and so the mat
ter of the taking ,of fares was
greatly simplified. If a passenger handed
ass bill in payment for a single fare, he
had the unique pleasure of hearing 99
rapid and consecutive strokes of the bell,
and of knowing that the surplus nickels
had been rung up "for the good of : the
cause." Syracuse seems to be resourceful
in support of its benevolent institutions.
Some time ago money was wanted for the
hospital, and a local paper promised to
present to the fund the proceeds of the
sales of all copies of a certain issue. The
ladies of the town turned out in a body,
and sold papers in the streets from morn
ing until night- .Even after dark they
kept up the sales, accompanied by their
husbands or brothers. The sales of the
sheet broke the record, and a handsome
sum was put into the coffers of the hos
pital.
A mixture of three parts of linseed oil
and one part of spirits of turpentine
is recommended as an excellent prepara
tion for removing spots and scratches from
furniture and cleaning picture-frames. It
should be applied with a woolen cloth and
then rubbed dry by another cloth of simi
lar texture.
THE BAY DISTRICT RACES.
The Stewards Debar Donahue
From Further Riding at
the Track.
SLOPPY FOR THE FAVORITES.
"Wizard" Hinrichs on Yemen Beats
Potentate in an Extremely
Fast Race.
The Ban Francisco Club again cut in yester
day, which swelled tUe number of pencilers to
ten.
It wns said by a few, after Yemen's defeat by
Contribution on Saturday, that he was a "dog,"
and that he would stop when another horse
drew up to him. Ycsterdny he stepped the
first three-eighths of a mile in 30 seconds, with.
Potentate at his head, and at no part of the
journey did he have time to take a rest. A
stable full of "dogs" like him would bring big
prices if put under the auctioneer's hammer.
Few horses have shown such marked improve
ment in such a short space of time.
Jockey Donahue, who has been riding
the horses of the Burns & Water-house
string in the majority of their races since
the present meeting began, can riae no
more at the Bay District track. This de
cision was reached by the judges after
watching the careless ride the boy put up
on Goodwin 11, who went baclc in the bet
ting from 3 to i'O to 1 and finished third in
the seven-furlong race yesterday. Several
of the exhibitions of horsemanship Dona
hue has given the past few days have been
open to criticism and did not escape the
attention of the officials in the stand, so
they decided to debar him from riding
further .it the track. Some year 3 ago,
while riding in a race in the East, the
jockey suffered severe injuries about the
head from a fall, which, it is said, has
caused him to be of a morose and melan
choly disposition. He is, of course, en
titled to sympathy if so amicted, but when
againbiing puoiic bet their money they
expect, of course, in turf parlance, to "get
a run lor it."
The heavy rainfall caused much scratch
ing amoni; the entries and Starter Fer
guson had light fields to handle. The
going was juicy and of course mudlarks
were in demand. How well the taleut
succeeded in picking them is demonstrated
by the fact that but one favorite wallowed
in.
There was one genuine horserace, and
that' occurred in tue fourth event, a rive
furlong sprint. Californians have hitherto
considered Realization almost invincible
in the mud and lie opened a 6 to 5 favorite
in the betting, but he struck the two
speediest mud-runners of his racing career
in Potentate and Yemen. Tug betting on
the race was very changeable. Potentate
was allowed to wander back to threes,
when a rush was made and his price was
speedily cut to even money. Yemen
opened at 2% and went back to 5 to 1.
When the Potentate money came in
the odds against Realization receded
to 9 to 5. It was a case of Yemen and
Potentate from the start, the pair racing
out in front, heads apart. Only once
during the running was Realization able to
get up to them, and that effort proved too
much for him, and he soon fell back again.
"Wizard" Hinrichs put up one of his star
rides on Yemen and beat the Burns &
Waterhouse horse out a neck in the ex
traordinarily fast time, considering the con
ditions of the track, of 1 :02. The balance
of the racing was very ordinary. Patriot,
backed from twos down to 8 to 5, took the
opening race at six furlongs, won handily,
while Ida Saver just managed to beat
Mount Roy a nose for the place.
Mount McGregor looked about the best
of the seven youngsters in the maiden five
furlong dash and was. heavily backed at
even money. While leading in the stretch
with a mortgage on the purse he bolted
and would have liked to have jumped the
paddock fence. This cost him the race,
for by the time Donahue got him straight
ened out he had been passed by three of
the field. Mollie Bawn, a 6to 1 chance,
who had been the contending horse, won
easily by six lengths. Valiente secured
second place by a neck from Harry 0.
Nick Hall's Tar and Tartar was backed
down from 2}4 to 1 to a3 to 2 favorite to
win the seven-furlong race, but Wawona,
who vied in the betting with Centurion
for second choice horses, led' all the way,
winning by six lengths, with Centurion
second, eight lengths before Goodwin. •
The last event on the card was originally
intended to be a mile and a sixteenth hur
dle race, but on account of the slushy
going the jumps were omitted. Morgan d
had a strong following, who backed him
from 11 to 5 to an even money chance, but
he finished third. Barcaldine, an 8 to 1
shot, led all the way and won by a head
from Cicero, who made up an immense lot
of ground through the stretch.

$360, which reduced the average somewhat.

To-night the yearlings of Theodore
Winters' Rancho del Sierra will be sold.
They are said to be a grand lot, and no
doubt big prices will be realized.
W. O. McNair, a well-known starter of
light-harness events of Wichita, Kans.,
and George J. Common, the well-known
Montana poolseller, were interested spec
tators at the sale.
Programme Postponed.
On account of the uncertain condition
of the weather the California Jockey Club
has postponed its programme of trotting
events indefinitely.
Baseball To-Day.
To-day, weather permitting, will witness a
ball game at Central Park at 3 r. m. between
the San Franelseos and San Joses. Borchers,
once with the great Anson, and the winning
pitcher for Spokane in the Pacific Northwest
League, under Mr. Barnes' management, has
been signed to take Ills place in the box for
San Francisco, and says he will show the San
Francisco people he can pitch as well as ever.
Fisher will be in for San Jose, and with these
famous men in the points it should be a good
game. Below is the maKeup:
