OAKLAND'S RECALCITRANT COUNCILMAN
FLEES FROM AN INDIGNANT MOB
Major Woodward Seeks Safety Within the Walls of the City Jail to Escape
the Wrath of Outraged Citizens.
OAKLAND, Feb. 24.— At 10
o'clock to-night Councilman Wood
ward is in the City Prison, needing
protection of the bastile from the
threatened violence and indignation
of the mcb whom he has within the
past two hours voted to rob of over
$100,000 in the interest of the al
lied water companies.
The man, who has been prating
about his patriotism and loyalty and
love for the flap, yet who fell when
the first temptation offered, was ar
raigned to-night in language only as
Ing as it was true.
Mr. Cuvellier, Mr. Girard, Mr. Rowe
and the packed, indignant lobby
poured out the vials of their honest
indignation and Woodward sat and
squin
The crowd was well prepared to ex
- itself. This morning Mayor
Thomas sent Woodward a letter ex
. ng his indignation and demand
lng that the new Councilman either re
sign r rescind his action. It was re
markable that the Mayor, who sat by
ward last Monday night, took BO
long to discover that, in his own lan
i bomb had exploded," but a
deathbed repentance is perhaps better
than none at all.
Woodward was duped worse than
ev^r this afternoon, for he was per
suaded to sign a long, clever argument
In favor of the water companies, of the
contents of which he knew nothing.
He advanced it as "a defense," and it
•was worse than ridiculous and gave
away the identity of his ownership
worse than even his own vote.
When asked regarding some of his ar
guments Woodward could not say a
word and did not know what he had
■ig-ned. In the defense, which occu
pied four columns of an evening paper,
some of thr> arguments that had
used hy Watkinson of the Contra
i Company, and Dingee of the
Oakland company in the committee
rooms weeks before Woodward knew
he was to be placed in a position he
could disgrace. In his defense Wood
ward ignored the fact that the commit
tee had arranged a schedule that would
pay G per cr-nt and give the company a
bonus of $38,000, but went into details
of which he had no knowledge and
Showed by every paragraph that he
was not the author and that his signa
ture was a delusion.
The crowd had seen all this during
the day, and came to see themselves
surprised. And when <iirard got up
and said he had positive Information
that Woodward had given his type
writer the manuscript copy in hand
writing other than his own, and could
prove it, how that crowd did ye'l and
hiss. Girard challenged Woodward to
deny it, and the challenge was not ac-
cepted.
The meeting opened with a full at
tendance >>f < ''iiincilmen, and Mr.
Cuvellier opened the ball by stating
SOME COUNCILMEN OF WHOM OAKLAND IS NOT PROUD.
v<»sterday Morning the Call Published a Picture of Five Councilmen With the Caption, "Five Men of Whom Oakland Is
Proud But There Are Others," To-day It Presents the "Others."
that under the rules of the Council he
wished to make a few remarks relating
to "the good of the city." He lost no
time in a preamble , but plunged into
his subject at once.
"Gentlemen of the Council, I desire
to speak of the action of the Council
taken last Monday night when a water
resolution was passed which will have
the effect of robbing the people of this
city of a vast sum of money — certainly
not less than $100,000. Last Monday
night I was so surprised at the outrage
that I could not speak, but to-night I
have recovered from that disgraceful
shock and wish to go on record in this
highway robbery affair.
"While we were discussing this mat
ter in 'committee one member of this
Council came to our meetings and was
very anxious that we should not make
a mistake. He told us to beware of the
two water companies, as he was ac
customed to them. He (Brosnahan)
told us that he had been forced to
fight the money and influence of the
water companies in his own ward, and
that they had tricks at command of
wT.i<h no one knew but an old hand.
This was told us because we were sup
posed by this gentleman to be young
at the business. Now, then, what are
we to think? This man voted last
Monday night as the water company
wanted him to. We expected no sup
port from some members of the Coun
cil, but when this one deserted us we
felt like Caesar when he was stabbed
by his friend Brutus.
"Now, then, I want to refer to the
new member, and to address myself
rather personally to him. I read in the
papers that Mr. Woodward said that
if he made an error last Monday night
THE MOB BESIEGING OAKLAND'S CITY HALL.
by his • vote it was a mistake of
the head and not of the heart, and I
believe him and shall continue to do so,
till he himself persuades me that his
own statement is false. I have here
from The Call two statements par
alleled. One credits Mr. Woodward last
Friday with this remark: 'I am in fa
vor of a public park for this city, and
believe that the City Council should do
everything possible to encourage prog
ress. I go into office without a single
string on me, and can be counted on
the side of the people. I intend that
my record as a Cc/uncilman shall be
as clean as my record as a soldier. I
have not yet studied water rates, but
I'm for the people.' The other makes
him say last Tuesday: 'I have studied
water rates for twenty-six years. I
have nothing to say in defense of my
vote other than that I believe that I
have done my duty, and, knowing such
to be the case, there is no power on
earth that can change me.'
"I presume these interviews are cor
rect." (Mr. Woodward squirmed as
sent.) "Now, then, Mr. Woodward
poses as a member of the Grand Army
and I hope he is sincere. I shall be
lieve so unless he to-night proves to me
THE BAX FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1898.
THOMAS DENOUNCES WOODWARD.
MAYOR'S OFFICE, CITY HALL.
OAKLAND, Cal., February 24, IS9B.
E. W. Woodward, Councilman of Fifth Ward, Oakland, Cal.— Dear
Sir: On the 18th inst. I appointed you as Councilman to represent the
Fifth Ward of this city, and also to represent the people of the entire
city as well. You accepted the position and assured me at the time
that you would endeavor at all times to act for the best interests of
the people.
When the resolution fixing water rates was presented to the Coun
cil on last Monday night, it came like a bomb shell into a sleeping
camp, and the shell exploded when the vote was taken, and your vote
was cast for the resolution. Surprise, disappointment and indignation
filled my mind, and the minds of the people feel outraged at the action
taken, and I now appeal to you to rescind your action (it Is not too
late) and to save the people, and I urge you to do this. I do not wish
to dictate to any member of the Council how he should vote on any
proposition but I ask you in the name of the people in this city to do
what I believe to be the right thing as herein indicated and
correct the wrong now. It seems you hold the key to the situation —
use it. Very respectfully, -W. R. THOMAS,
Mayor of the City of Oakland.
that he is not. Mr. Woodward, I speak
to you now as to a new member who
cannot know so much as I and my col
leagues do. You have here to-night a
chance to show that you were in error
the other night, and that you are really
what you said you were — without
strings.
"Now I wish to offer you a resolu
tion. It is to rescind the action of last
Monday so that this matter can at
least be discussal. I am aware that
we are in the minority or were last
Monday night, and I know that only
by the courtesy of at least one of the
gentlemen who voted for the resolution
last Monday can this resolution pass.
It does not commit anybody to a final
vote, but I appeal especially to^ the
new member to vote with us that we
can at least rescind the hasty and, in
my opinion, wicked work done last
Monday night. Mr. Woodward, as a
man, as a gentleman and as a soldier,
I ask for your vote as a pure courtesy."
Then the vote was taken, and, as
usual, Upton, Rowe, Pringle, Cuvellier
and Girard voted* honestly. llenne
berry, Watkinson, Earl and Heitman
voted for the water companies, and
Major Woodward hesitated a brief mo
ment. It was a struggle between the
man and the coward, and the enormous
lobby and his brother Councilmen lis
tened in breathless silence to the new
member's vote. It would not have
committed him. It meant nothing but
an act of decency to at least reopen
the discussion. W. J. Dingee of the
Oakland Water Company was stand
ing behind Woodward. The new mem
ber turned around and shook. He saw
the eye of his master and realized that
not even this little bit of freedom was
to be granted him. The strings were
too tight. The man was sacrificed, and
a sound thnt resembled a short groan
indicated that Woodward had been un
faithful. All this happened in two sec
onds, but it semed like twice that num
ber of minutes.
Then the crowd spoke. It would be
more proper to say it broke loose:
"Traitor!" "Hang him!" "Tar and
feathers!" "Boodler!"
These yells and a host of others were
hurled at the squirming Councilman.
Bedlam reigned and President Pringle
rapped in vain for order. No one heard
him, and the hissing and hooting could
be heard for blocks away.
When it subsided some one called
out: "Take his Grand Army button
off!" A chorus of hisses followed while
Woodward wriggled in his chair, look
ing at his feet.
The new member was really to be
pitied. He had pledged himself that
his record as a Councilman should be
as spotless as his record as a soldier,
and there he sat with the water com
panies' hired men beside him and the
taxpayers of the city yelling and hoot
ing at him and denouncing him in the
most pronouTiced language.
The council chamber has been the
scenes of many uproars, but none such
as this. It was not without provoca
tion that they yelled. That vote of the
man "without strings" had cost the
city a large fortune, a big portion of
which will come out of poor men's
pockets und go into the treasuries of
the water companies to help pay for
just such an exhibition of disloyalty
to the people as occurred to-night.
After this refusal to take up the
matter, Councilman Henneberry, with
matchless effrontery, produced from his
pocket a copy of the water companies'
resolution that was rushed through
last Monday night. "I understand that
the City Attorney has said that our
Job of last Monday night is not legal,"
said Henneberry, "so I propose to get
at It another way. I now offer this as
an amendment to the ordinance of the
committee that has been called for final
passage."
President Pringle was surprised at
the boldness of the move to upset the
honest ordinance and bolster up the
jobbery of last Monday at one swoop,
and decided that such a step was out of
order. He said it should, under the
rules, go to the proper committee. Here
Heitmann, who has trained with the
water companies for years, said that
it could be done by taking it section
by section and offering each as an
amendment. By this underhanded
method the people's ordinance was de
feated piece by piece, and the allied
companies completed their job.
Brosnahan repeated his old speech
that he was votin gwith the water
companies' men out of nique because
his pet measure, the ordinance grading
liquor licenses, had been defeated, but
nobody believed him. ' Heitmann made
a complete wreck of his argument. He
mi^g^k speech attempting to show
f?iat the. rates of the poor man were
reduced about 10 cents a month. He
was shouting out this fact when Gi
rard called his attention to the fact
that the companies' ordinance took off
ten cents in one place and added
thirty-five cents for a water closet,
added something for washing win
dows, doubled the lawn charges, made
a charge for a bath, and actually
doubled the existing rate.
When he heard Girard's figures
Heitmann saw that the subterfuge was
no good, and quickly subsided while
the crowd hissed him. As every sec
tion was voted on the ayes and noes
were the same, and when Woodward's
vote was recorded that big crowd
hissed and reviled him till the ghost of
Judas Iscariot, If he were within hear
ing, must have felt he had company.
When the section providing for pay
ing 3 cents for each child at the public
schools was brought up Mr. Rowe
made another appeal to Woodward.
"We pay for our children at home,"
said Mr. Rowe, "and when they are
at school they are not drinking water
at two places and yet we are called
upon to vote this money to the com
pany.
"Mr. Woodward, I will say for your
benefit that we discussed this matter
in committee, and after being very
liberal to the water companies we al
lowed them a good percentage and a
small fortune more. We carefully
went over the figures and heard testi
mony till' there was nothing more to
investigate, and did our duty I believe
intelligently and I know conscien
tiously."
But this appeal to Woodward's rea
son was as useless as to his manhood,
honor and citizenship. The companies
pulled the string and the figure moved
with unfailing regularity. And every
time Woodward did the bidding of the
companies that crowd hissed, yelled
and reviled him.
When all the section had been sub
stituted and the job completed it was
seen that the following additional
charges had been saddled upon the peo
ple: Twenty-flve cents upon the rate
payers for every closet and 35 cents
for every bathtub. The charge for ir
rigating lawns is raised from 3 to 5
mills per square yard, and at least $1 20
must be paid to the companies from
this source. The rate for public and
private schools is raised from 1 cent to
3 cents per pupil. The following ad
ditional increases are made: For each
horse kept in livery-stable, from 20 to
25 cents; for each cow, from 10 to 15
cents; for water to make mortar, from
10 to 15 cents per 1000 bricks; to slack
lime, from 10 to 15 cents per barrel; for
water to settle earth, from 3 to 5 cents
per cubic yard. Meter rates are about
doubled, being raised from 20 cents to
about 40 cents a thousand gallons, and
the lowest amount to be paid per
month by meter rates is raised from
$1 25 to $1 50.
The fire hydrant charge is made $3 50
a month instead of $2 25, and the city,
instead of the water company, must
pay for the hydrants and cost of set
ting. The following additional charges
are also made: For water used for
washing sidewalks, fronts of buildings
and windows of stores, 1 cent for first
twenty lineal feet and one-half cent
for each additional lineal foot.
As the details of the steal were laid
bare by Mr. Girard and Mr. Rowe the
crowd groaned and hissed more and
more, until sometimes for more than
a couple of minutes there was pande
monium.
Before consummating the job by
taking a final vote on the ordinance
as amended Girard made a speech.
"I want to express my opinion of my
late comrade, Mr. Woodward. I call
him comrade no more," he said.
"He said the other day he had no
strings on him. He told the truth.
He. is bound by ropes, not strings.
They are ropes of gold and they may
yet lead the way to San Quentin.
He has disgraced our Grand Army.
He has disgraced his comrades. He
should take that honored button off
his traitorous breast and he should
not be permitted in the company of
honest men.
"Mr. Hennebery said I was not re
sponsible for my actions. He told the
truth. I am not responsible to any
water company. I am not responsible
to any man's gold. I am not bound by
ropes. Thank God I am free and have
not disgraced my G. A. R. badge, which
1 earned honorably."
When Girard sat down the crowd ap
plauded and then some one cried
"Woodward" and instantly the ap
plauding turned to groans and hisses.
As the vote proceeded Woodward voted
as the string was pulled. Then came
the final outburst of wrath and denun
ciation and the Council adjourned.
The crowd waited outside for Wood
ward and when he appeared he was at
once surrounded and hustled while the
night air was filled with imprecations.
Between two bodyguards Woodward
was escorted along Washington to
Thirteenth to avoid the crowd. But
the crowd was in no humor to be avoid
ed and followed closely.
Along Thirteenth to Broadway went
the hooting procession, increasing in
numbers as it proceeded. At Broad
way it moved up again to Fourteenth,
and Woodward started in the direction
of his home out New Broadway. He
had only gone a few yards when the
crowd surged so that he realized that
the irate citizens were not keeping out
of bed altogether for fun.
There is a candy-store near Four
teenth and Telegraph that runs into
San Pablo avenue. Mr. Woodward
spied that candy-store and rushed
through it with his bodyguard, hoping
to avoid the crowd, but he was un
successful.
Then occurred a sight never be
fore seen in Oakland. Woodward
saw that safety lay in the City Pris
on. He started to run and his in
furiated escort gave chase. There
was a hustle as the pursued and
pursuer dashed through the City
Hall Park. Finally Woodward
rushed into the City Prison and the
iron gate was locked to prevent the
mob from following.
When the crowd had nearly dispersed
F. J. Moffitt drove up with a hack and
Woodward was driven home.
The legal aspect of the case is now
interesting. The resolution passed last
Monday night was not rescinded, but
is superseded by the ordinance passed
to print to-night, which is identically
the same. The ordinance, however,
will be printed five days, and must
then be passed again, after which it
requires the signature of the Mayor.
Oakland will in a few days see whether
her Mayor be any more loyal than the
new Councilman he so roundly de
nounced this afternoon over his signa
ture.
MR. BULL WILL
JUDGE THE DOGS
Great Preparations Made for
the Opening of the New-
Coursing Park.
Splendid Prizes Tempt Leashmen
to Enter High-Class Orey
hounds.
The Interstate Coursing Club, with I. F.
Halton secretary, will hold its inaugural
meeting on Saturday on the grounds of
the Union Coursing Park Association, in
San Mateo County, and it is expected
that an immense crowd of leashmen and
the lovers of the grand old sport of cours
ing will witness the first rundown of an
exceedingly large stake.
Although the weather looks threaten
ing the club is in hopes of having a fine
day for its opening, but whether it rains
or shines the meeting will be held.
The new park is beautifully situated.
The grand stand, which has cost con
siderable money to construct, will accom
modate several thousand people and a
magnificent view of each course may be
obtained from any seat under its roof.
The park itself has been pronounced per
fect by experts for coursing, as tne
land is springy and just sufficiently soft
to enable the dogs to fly over it without
sustaining any injury to their feet.
The hares now in the paddocks have
been fed on corn for some days and it is
expected that they will give a first-class
account of themselves when they are
called upon to speed for their lives to
ward the escape, which will be at least
one mile from the place where the dogs
are slipped.
The English judge. Mr. Bull, will be in
the saddle on Saturday. Among the local
leashmen there is much interest manifest
ed in what they expect will be somewhat
of a change in the American style of
judging courses.
It will be rather severe on Mr. Bull to
judge two days' meetings immediately
following his arrival from England, but
the club is determined to carry out its
programme at all hazards and as a mat
ter of fact a large crowd will be on hand
to see how the new broom sweeps.
Passengers to the new park must take
the San Francisco and San Mateo line of
electric cars, which will land them within
a very short walk of the coursing sward.
By taking the Mission street cars trans
fers will be issued at Fourteenth street
to the new line.
The principal races to be decided are
the John Grace challenge cup, the Belle
Brandon challenge cup and the Union
Park derby. The first prize in the race
for the John Grace cup amounts to the
very respectable sum of $630, the second
prize is $315, the third and fourth $125, the
fifth, sixth and seventh $55 and six more
prizes of $30 each are given. The prizes
in the race for the Belle Brandon cup
amount to $170, the first prize being $85.
The first prize in the Union Park derby
is $120, and there are three others
amounting to $120.

THE FROZEN NORTH.
Lieutenant Peary Will Give Some!
Valuable Information Regard
ing It Next Sunday.
At the Baldwin" Theater next Sunday
night Lieutenant R. E. Peary will deliver
his farewell lecture upon his adventures
in northernmost Greenland and while
upon his recent expedition in search of
the north pole.
The explorer has already given two
lectures here, and so successful were they
that hundreds of requests poured in upon
him asking for at least another one.
Among the requests were some calling,
for the lieutenant's views upon matters
appertaining to the outfitting necessary
for one who intends to travel northward.
These requests have come from people
who have a trip to the Klondike In view,
and it is quite unnecessary to state that
the explorer's talk upon the subject would
be most beneficial to them. He has con
sented to include this subject among the
others upon which he is to speak at th«i
coming lecture. He has had no end of
experience with dog teams and sledges,
and will impart some very valuable in
formation regarding the rapid little ani
mals in reference to their training, feed
ing, habits and endurance. His many
months spent among the glaciers has
made him an authority upon the dress
ing necessary for that country, and ho
will dwell upon the various equipments
which will be found necessary for a trip
north. His ideas regarding matters of
food for cold climates are most impor
tant. He can tell what to take, how to
pack it and how to cache it to protect it
against the elements. The lecture will
have a very interesting feature in the 100
superb lantern views to be exhibited.
These views arc from photographs taken
by the explorer on his last expedition in
the north and are most valuable for illus
tration purposes.
