vere several letters from her lover, Otto

a 16-year-old daughter of the deceased,
now lirinß in Lakeport. Among tne let
ters was one addres ed to her lover, which
bore no date, but indicated the despond
ent mood of the woman. The letter is us
follows:

The Mrs. Scales referred to is an old
friend and neighbor living in Lakeport.
It is believed that Arnn, Mrs. Terrell's
oldest daughter, is now living with that
lady, as letters from her would indicate
as much. Thore are «l?o o her letters
which relate to an attempt of Mrs. Ferrell
to dispose of property in Lake County
belonging to her children.
Ruf's imimncy with the woman dates
; from about a year ago. He met her wnile
he was working in Ihe city, since which
time an ardent friendship existed between
them. At that time he was a steward in
a saloon, but when lie got out of work he
j returned toAiani'da.
The woman followed him and secured
employment in the family of D. S. Bre- j
haut on San Jose avenue, where -he re
mained for some time. A short time ago
she went to San Francisco an t roomed in
the Soto House at 324 Fourth street. She
was subsequently taken sick and spent
a time in tue County Hospital. Her sick
ness and the fact that her lover was out
of work is supposed to be the reason lor
the despondency which led to her «uci'le.

Harry Kearns left his home in Leiin.
--'• ton, Ky., fifteen years a>ro, and twice
during that period lepers liav« been gent
to his parents slating thai he is dead and
that the writer, a friend, had incurred
lrrge expense civ.r the lost boy and would
i like the parents to reimburse h:ra.
A few weeks aeo his parents received a
letter fioni Oakland, Cal., stating that
i Harry Kearns had diet in this city. The
letter jja7e very minute de:ai 3 of Kearns
I and on Us fr.ee was convincing proof ihat
the author of it was very int.iuaiely flc
qaainted with the past life 01 young
Kearns. It referred a pood deai 10
Kearns' parents ami relatives and stated
that he iiad Oied alter being a sourco of
much expense to the writer.
The letter is signed by "Coroner
Moore." Nocoiy in Oakland knows
Coroner Moore, and in fact there never
tias been a Coroner or Deputy Coroner of
that name, and a search does not show
that Harry Kearns is dead.
The hoy's relatives have communicated
with StaQ Captain Merry weather of the
! Salvation Army, and have Bskod him to
■ tind out the truth of the matter. They
are of the opinion, as siatea in their let
ter, that it is a plan to obtain money irom
them, and at ih<» same time they are ex
ceedingly grieved at the method io lowed.
It is the prevalent opin on among the
1 police that »uch letters are generally writ
i ten by ihe peopie about whom they teil so
; much, and they do no: s«e any reason to
j loot for an exception in this case. There
is no one named Harry Kearns to ba

If Oakland's new liquor-license ordi

able to reeulaie, to a great extent, that
great evil or pastime known as "rushing
the growler."
Councilman Brosnaban has completed
his dist;icting of the city for the purpose
of adjusting the licenses to be paid by sa
loon-keeperß. as was outlined generally in
The (all a week ago. Mr. Brosnaban
dot 8 not intend that any mistake shall be
made as to the places over which he
wishes his new ordinance to have juris
diction. The State law it verbose enough
for any lawyer, but Brosnahan goes fur
ther. He includes "saloon, bar, store,
dramshop, lippling-place, stan d or any
place where spirituous, malt or fermented
liquors or wine?, or on; admixtures
thereof, are sold or Riven away."
Another clause prohibits any. person
! from selling liquor in any place where
I groceries, drugs or merchandise other
than tobacco and clears are sold at w ole
sale or retail, or in any room having any
opening, do or connection with prem
ises where groceries, drugs or merchandise
are sold. Sec; inn 6 declares that no com
mission -hall be granted to sell liquors
wit in 000 feet of any church where re
ligious services are conducted. A church
is described as being "a balding separate
I and apart from a store or hail, and de
voted mainly to religious services." It is
also (it creed that no liquor shall be sold
; within 6jO feet of any school under the
I Control o. the B ard of Klucaiion. An
applicant for a license nin-i bind himself
in addition to the usual police precaution ■
not to sell any liquor to a per on under 16
years of age or to anybody that is intoxi
catf d.
Every place that is licenced must be
visited at least once a month by a police
officer, whose duty It shall be to ascertain
and mak* a written retort as to whether
the provisions of the ordinance are being
complied with. •
The main feature of the ordinance is
the change that ii provides for the amount
of thf license fee. Ai the present time a
license costs $100 per quarter, no mat er ,
where the saloon may &c situated. The j
n»w ordinance fix s the licenses at $50, I
! $73, $100, $125 or $150 per quarter, accord
ing to i he iocat.oll of the applicant's
place of bus nets.
The first district, where $50 has to be
paid, lies around the town of Emeryville
and the northern p.irtoi the city of Oak
land.
Tie second di-trict, where $75 is to be
charged, includes the southern portion of
the city south of Seventh street, between
the estuary and Adeline street.
The third district, where $100 will be
charged, ncludes the por.ion of the city
between A.i*lme and Grove streets to lie
city limits and eastward along Broadway
anil back to Jefferson street.
The fourth di-Uiici includes the terri
tory between Ct-metery Creek, Fourteenth
and Webster, the Piedmont district and a
portion ol East Oakland.
The fifth disir ct, where $150 will be col
lected, include* the Lusiiusj portion of
the city where dealers in many instance
do both a wholesale and retail trade.
Section 17 is. something new to Oak
landers. It *ays:
Any licensee who sells, gives or furnishes
any Intoxicating liquor to any person af>er
written notice tins bieu scry.d upon said
licensee by a parent or guardian or a husband
or wife m presence of two witnesses to refrain
from selling or giving to the person named in
said notic«- Htinll be cultv ot a misdemeanor
and shall be fined $100 for the first offense,
and for the second offense v •• ; i<: jnse shall be
revoked and the bond tori -
The ordinance will undoubtedly pro
voke many warm debates before its nnal
passaga or defeat.

Walter Blair, an attorney employed as

effect that W. tl. T. Durrant is still alive,
•.he affidavit will be presented to Juiige
Bahrs and with it, as a n cord before the

execution of the" mr.raeier three days

The affidavit wiil pave the lenfil way for
bringing Durrant across the bay again
mid for the court azain fixing the day for
his execution. Now that the remit'.i
tur from the United States Supreme
Court has arrive! and it has teen entered
on the records in the conrt, it is thought
that ihe grounds on which the last stay of
execution wa& granted have b^en removed,
and Uiat Judge Bahrs will, when the affi
davit is presented, make an or.ier to have
Durrant brought before him, and that he
will then set another d y for his death.
Judge Bahrs, it is thought by some at
torneys, will K'V>? Durrant sixty days to
liv • alter the nay l»e is again brought into
hi.i courtroom, while others think only
len days will be allowed him. Ten days
is the legal time allowed for an
appeal, and the knowing ones
say Judge Bihrs will not give
an opportunity for another stay
of execution by fixini: the date short of
that many days after he is brought back
in ;o his court. Opinion now is about
equally diviued whether Durrant wi:l
hiing before Cbrisimhs or not. His attor
neys feel confident that it will be a long
time yet, if ever, before their client
mounts the galiows. They depend on
gaining a trial for Durrant on the charge
of the murder of Minnie Williams.

LAVIGNE WILL
NOT BATTLE
Decides Not to Sign With
His Old Opponent
Walcott
Thinks That Two Beatings Are
Sufficient to Give
One Man.
Leaves Thursday For His Home in
Michigan— Wants a Go at
George Green.
Joe Walcott will have to look for
another match as far as "Kid" Lavigne is
concerned, for the champion lightweignt
has, in sporting parlance, "passed up"
the dusky Baltimore pugilist, and is
packing his grip for a trip to his home in
Saginaw, M eh.
Livigne has ful'y made up his mind
that to fight the colored boxer after hav
ing twice whipped him would be wasting
energy without gaining anything in the
way of honor, and has decided to give up
all idea of meeting Walcolt.
"Mv brother, who is my manager,"
said Liviene yesterday, "made some sort
of a contract to have me meet Walcott
again on Washington's birthday, but I
won't stand for it.
"I think the sportinß public will agree
to a man that 1 do not let Walcott pass
because I fear him, for our last battle
showeti that I could not only meet him
on his own ground in a rushing buttle,
but beat him at his own game in a smash
ing right. I do not underrate Walco.t.
He is by fir the hardest man that I ever
went up against, and it wa-i week? before
I recovered from tha effects of the blows
he landed o>i my botly in the early part oi
the right and in the ten;h round.
"At the same time, I do not leel called
upon to give him another right, because,
having twice beaten him, I think he tins
had all pcss.ble chance to demonstrate
what he cm do with me in a ring.
"For another reason, I want a rest. I
have been training and lighting for a long
time without initrmission, and Ido not
intend to wear nivseif out with hard work,
as otner men have done, and then become
a buck number at a time when 1 should be
in my prime.
"1 shall spend some time with my
mother and staters and brothers at home,
and alter that I shall be ready for busi
ness ngain.
■ "I know that to get a battle I must go
out ( f my class, so that I shall mnke this
proportion richt now: i will fight any
man in the world, bar Walcott, at any
weight from 128 pounds io 144 pounds,

weight champion, a chance, if he is look
ing for it.

not much outward evidence of decay, but tl.a

tical results required for either a young or old
man, and is just such a curative as thousands
of men are looking nnx.ously for. All corre-
spondence is confidential and their envelopes
fire periectly plain, carefully seated and mailed
under first-cuss p' stage. No man need hesi-
