6 NEWS OF THE COUNTY OF ALAMEDA PAUPER'S RICH KIN MUST PAY HER WAY Woman's Brother Wealthy Supervisors Will Try to Force Rela tives to Pay Her Board. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1016 Broadway; Jan. 23. Wtth a millionaire brother m San Francisco and a well-to-do son-in-hiw living in this city, Mrs. Lucretla Va rella Is living at the County Infirmary as ah indigent pauper. It was only last week that it was discovered that a woman by .the name of Margaret Dunn died there leaving an estate valued at $5200, while all the time it was sup posed she had nothing in the world With which to pay her oWn way. The attention of the Board of Supervisors waa called to the Varella case this morning by Supervisor Rowe, and an investigation is to be made. CHAN CHEUNG OUT ON BAIL Justice Henshaw of Supreme Court Overrules Protest of the District Attorney Justice Henshaw of the Supreme Court yesterday ordered that Chan Cheung be admitted to bail in the sum of $25,000. The court heard the testimony on which the Grand Jury returned the indictment accusing the wealthy Chinese with complicity In the murder of Tom Tick, but each of the three witnesses acknowledged that he had signed the agreement of the tongs offering rewards for the heads of all members of the "Educa „ tional Society," thereby placing him self in the position of co-conspirator with Chan Cheung and nullifying the testimony. Furthermore, in trials of the con spirators in the Superior Court, one of the witnesses had committed per jury, as he himself admitted, by de nying on one occasion that he was a party to the tong agreement to pay for the murder of the "Educational" men. The other two witnesses had never made mention of Chan Cheung's participation in the meeting at which the rewards were offered and guaran teeing their payment until the recent indictment by the Grand Jury, not withstanding that there had been several hearings and trials in court. •Justice Henshaw asked the District Attorney whether he did not think, on the showing made, that the prisoner should be allowed the privilege of bail. Byington was not inclined to dispute • the analysis of the case by the court, but from what he knew of the de fendant, he said, and from a personal conviction that Chan Cheung did take part in instigating the killing of Tom Yick, he would still Insist that the pe tioner be remanded to the custody of the Sheriff. "We'll hang Chan Cheung for the murder of Tom Yick." declared Dis trict Attorney Byington in a colloquy with ex-Governor Budd, after court had adjourned. "We'll show that your so-called 'Ed ucational Society' is a school for per jury," was the bristling rejoinder of chief counsel for Chan Cheung. Chan Cheung, was released last night on a bond of $25,000 approved by Superior Judge Carroll Cook. BEREAN SOCIETY GIVES BANQUET TO THE LADIES Social Hall of Calvary Presbyterian •.'Church Is Scene of Delightful Festivity. The Berean Society of the . Calvary Presbyterian Church held a banquet and "ladles' night" last evening. A hundred persons sat down to the feast, which was spread in the social hall. Charles W. Pike presided. .The opening address was intended to have been made by William Sproule, but in his absence Dr. E. E, Baker of the First Presbyterian Church of Oakland gave an interesting talk. Others who took part were General Tirey L. Ford, R. C. Ayres and Amon C: Cain. TJr. M. N. Callender had , charge of the orchestra, which ren dered an excellent musical pro gramme in splendid style. This so ciety, which is only a few months old, promises to be a big factor in the work of this church. The saloon presents a bar to many a man's success. SCOTT'S EMULSION. HE MEANS SCOTTS Your doctor says you must take cod liver oiL Probably he means Scott's Emulsion be cause you cannot take the clear oil; no one can take the clear oil who needs cod liver oil. The doctor understands that and doubtless means Scott's Emulsion of cod liver oil which everybody can take because it is emulsified and prepared so that it can be very easily digested by the most sensitive stomach. Most everybody Kkes it WVM Mud jam a aampfo free. In speaking of the matter Rowe said that the law compels the payment of money necessary for a person's care by the relatives if any can be found, and he proposes to make the relatives set tle the bill attendant upon this case. Her Bon-in-law is A. Bocco of 812 Myr tle street, while her brother's name is said to be Marslcano. In the Margaret Dunn matter Dr. W. A. Clark, who has charge of the infirmary, reported that the woman had been admitted to the institution five different times and had spent 221 days there in the aggregate. In accordance with the action of the board last week the District Attorney was ordered to bring suit against her estate for pay at the rate of 54 cents a day, or $119 34. BURNS MONEY HE GAVE HER Librada Morales Lights Her Cigarettes With Suitor's Four Fifty-Dollar Bills Senorita Librada Morales had money to burn last night and she lit cigar ettes with it. She thought that four $50 Mexican notes given in trust to her by her sweetheart,' Antonio Morales, were Confederate. In her indignation at his giving her such worthless stuff she sent the money up in smoke. Antonio arrived yesterday from Mex ico and immediately sought his dark eyed querida at her casa near Broad way and Kearny street. To her he gave four $50 bills to keep for wedding day expenses. Librada proudly dis played the wealth to her neighbors. In stead of gazing at it in envy they laughed. "Why, that is no good," they said. "That is not Americano dinero. It's no money at all." "Caramba!" cried the haßty tempered Librada. "Antonio gives to me the ha-ha and the laugh of the horse, does he? I will show him. Behold, I. Libra da. have money to burn. Behold, I burn it." AVith the melodramatic grace of a spaghetti opera company's Carmen, she lifted a cigarette to her lips and, lighting one of the bills, ignited her cigarillo therewith. She smoked four cigarettes and with them Antonio's 200 pesos also vanished in vapor. When Antonio returned Librada re ceived him with the chilly hauteur of a frozen oyster. "Come, querida," he cried. "We will go and burn some of that dinero." "It is already burned," announced Librada. "It is what the Amerjcanos call phoney." "Caramba!" shouted Antonio. "You burn 200 pesos." And he caught his beloved by her jet black locks and called for the police. The lady who had money to burn weeps in the City Prison over the conflagration of pesos. She is charged with felony embezzle ment. Antonio will return to Mexico, where cigarette lighters for lady friends are cheaper. PANAMA NO PLACE FOR AMERICAN WORKINGMEN R. P. Cooke, Government Draughts man, Says White Men Cannot Survive Conditions There. Among the recent arrivals at the Occidental Is R. P. Cooke, an architect of New York, who has just returned from Panama, where he was em ployed in the Government draughting department in connection with the canal. He was Invalided home and does not purpose returning to the isthmus. In discussing the conditions on the isthmus Cooke says that Pan ama is no place for a white man at present unless he has been accus tomed to a malarial climate. Scarcity of food other than rice and bananas, which are invariably served to Amer icans in fat, and lack of proper quar ters for the men engaged in the canal work, with bad water increased sick ness on the isthmus and forced many men into the Government hospital. Cooke says that the high tax on all imported goods, especially foodstuffs, places the latter beyond the reach of the Americans, whose wages will not permit them to buy ordinary necessi- ties of life. Although the Government commission has planned to furnish its employes comfortable quarters, pure water and good food, it has yet failed to effect these things and as a conse quence many Americans are going to the isthmus under the misapprehen sion that they are to be well provided for. On the contrary, the only places in which men can And shelter are in the old shanties left by the French commission and in tents. High Rent Causes Eviction. Mrs. F. Marion Wells, wife of the late famous sculptor who died in pen ury at the City and County Hospital about eighteen months ago, was yes terday evicted from a lodging-house that she has been conducting at 633 Broadway. Soon after the death of Wells one of his old friends installed the widow in the boarding-house. Ac cording to her story everything went well until the lease of the building was secured by J. Lafarque. Mrs. Wells says that Lafarque tripled her rent and she was unable to pay the exorbitant demand. A debt of $330 accumulated in two months and when she refused to pay it the attachment was Issued and served by Deputy Sheriff Jesse Galland. There seems to be a bond of sympa thy between the black gheep and the fatted calf. THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, JANUARY 24, 1905. WIFE'S ACTION ENRAGES HIM Witnesses Say Campbell Was Driven to Desperation by Spouse Whom He Killed TESTIFY FOR DEFENSE Bartender Who Kept Com pany With Woman Tells; I of a Beating Given Him Oakland Office San Francisco Call, j 1016 Broadway, Jan. 23. I The trial of Lemuel D. Campbell, j [ charged with the murder of his wife, I was continued this morning, the de- i ■ fense beginning its side of the case. | I The first witness called was Council- | [ man George Fitzgerald, who testified [/that he knew Campbell well, that he met him on the afternoon of the mur-.. j der and that Campbell failed to recog ; nize him. Campbell was acting in a : strangely abstracted manner, but after , he was spoken to returned the saluta- I tion. Joseph Fossati, a bartender at the I Venetian Gardens on Seventh street, testified that after the separation of \ Campbell and his wife he had "kept 1 company" with her. Campbell had [ asked him about it and the witness told ) him that he had been with Mrs. Camp- I bell. Campbell knocked him down and gave him a black eye. He said he con fessed this to Campbell because he was afraid of him. The last witness to testify was C. E. Young, butcher, for whom Campbell worked. Campbell's mother-in-law had come to him and tried to get him to discharge Campbell. He also said that both Mrs. Campbell and her mother often rang up the shop and disturbed Campbell and provoked him. CHAIRMAN MITCHELL GOES TO SACRAMENTO President of Board of Supervisors to Confer With Legislative Delega tion on Mattei-s of Salaries. OAKLAND, Jan. 23.—The Board of Supervisors to-day voted to send Chairman John Mitchell as its repre sentative to Sacramento to confer with members of the Alameda County delegation touching the question of proposed changes in the working force and salaries of county officials. The conference is called for to-morrow. This action was taken in response to a request from the delegation that a representative of the board meet with them at Sacramento. The board appropriated $500 for use by the Merchants' Exchange in pro moting immigration into Alameda County. Hereafter no Supervisor will be per mitted to incur expenditures greater than $25 without specific authoriza tion from the board in open meeting. FINDS NEGRO MURDERER TO HAVE BEEN INSANE Coroner's Jury Investigates Slaying of Aged Mary Callendei*—Ferguson Had a Thick Skull. OAKLAND, Jan. 23.—A Coroner's jury to-night found that James Fer guson, the negro cook who killed Mrs. Mary L. Callender, an ased negress, yesterday at the Callender home, 179 Third street, and afterward killed himself, was insane. The hospital surgeons found that Ferguson had died from a fracture of the skull caused by the two bullets that he fired, one into each side of his head. The skull was so thick that the bullets did not penetrate the brain, but the Impact caused the frac ture, produced a fatal hemor rhage. This explained why Ferguson lived for three hours after wounding himself in such a way that ordinarily he must have been instantly killed. RECEIVES FATAL INJURIES IN COLLISION WITH A CAR H. J. O'Keefe Is Thrown From Wag on, His Neck Broken and His Body Paralyzed. OAKLAND, Jan. 23.— H. J. O'Keefe, an electrician living at 654 Ninth street, was thrown from a wagon this afternoon in a collision with an elec tric car at the corner of Nineteenth street and San Pablo avenue and re ceived injuries that will probably prove fatal. O'Keefe was driving across the tracks and did not see the approaching car, which struck the wagon, throwing him to the ground. O'Keefe fell upon his head and was picked up unconscious. He was tak en to the Receiving Hospital, where it was found that his neck had been broken, the man's body being entirely paralyzed from the shoulders down. The surgeons have very little hope of saving O'Keefe's life, although they say that he may linger for several days. Killed by Escaping Gas. OAKLAND. Jan. 23. — John P. Flynn, 26 years old, was found dead from .gas suffocation this morning in his room at 1461 Seventh street. Flynn had left the burner open after trying, while intoxicated, to light the gas.

Many of the union men have expressed the mination to walk out if the "open shop" is declared and they say that the union is prepared to make a hard fight for the preservation of present conditions. THREE NEW PROFESSORS INSTALLED EDUCATOR WHO HAS BEEN ADD ED TO THE FACULTY OF PA CIFIC THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY. Exercises at Pacific Theological Seminary. BERKELEY, Jan. 23.—With impres sive ceremonies and addresses notable for their tribute to modern thought, three new professors of the Pacific Theological Seminary were inducted into office to-night at the First Con gregational Church. The three pro fessors are W. F. Bade, John Wright Buckham and T. Cowden Laughlin. The induction ceremonies were per formed by President J. K. McLean of the seminary. Addresses of greeting were delivered by representative men of the church. The audience-room was crowded. Of unusual interest was the inaugural address of Professor John Wright Buckham, his subject being "An Estimate of Evolution Theology as Sot Forth by Joseph I»e Conte." There were indications of marked ani mation in the audience of professors, ministers and church people when Pro fessor Buckham spoke, in part as fol lows: In the rntifie) though yet unwritten treaty of peace which lias followed what we may now term the lat>- unpleasantness between science and theology two articles Of supreme value are guaranteed. The first is the com plete recognition of natural science. The sec ond is the indlspensability of theology. Evo lution impels the scientist to theology. Com pleteness of thought requires it. Among those who have attempted to ('instruct evolution theology Joseph Le Conte is pre-eminent. His "Evolution and Its Relation to Religious Thought" has found wide and warm accept ance. He himself deemed it hts most Import ant work. What are the contributions evolution has made to theology as we find them In the volume? The first is the truth of the Divine Immanence. God is In his world. Evolution has made impossible the absentee Ood who can be eternalized and placated. Evolution did not discover this truth of the dlvtne presence, but it has widened and emphasized it. Again evolution has taken away fie Idea of special design in nature only to substitute cosmic de sign, a design, as Professor Le Conte says, "embracing all space and running through all time." Evolution has also vastly enriched and enlarged the conception of progress. This is Its greatest service. It is a significant fact that not only was this scientist who did most to commend evolu tion to modern religious thought a member of the faculty of our honored University of California, but so also is the philosopher who has done most to expo*«e the limits of evolu tion and to uphold the sacred worth of per sonality which evolution over-'hadows—Professor George H. Howison. Evolution has no recog nition of a personal God. nor any explanation of Jesus Christ, nor any just estimate of the real ity of evil. The God who Is transcendent as well as immanent, above his universe as well as In It. the Christ who is an ideal leading on and not simply a "resident force," evil as an enemy to be overcome, rather than as good in disguise—of :he«- evolution affords no sug gestion.. It must be supplemented, else it proves misleading. Evolution is virtually established. But the whole tendency, both from within and from without, to-day Is to limit it. The day of pan evolutlon has passed. Theology may take whatever truth evolution has brought with the consciousness that evolution has neither sunk nor solved the old problems. What should we do without these problems? They are full of discipline. Nor are they wholly Insoluble. New meanings gather about them. New lights flash from them. Prayer rules In theology as elsewhere through God's developing universe. Professor W. F. Bade, in his inaug ural address, spoke of "Old Testament Scholarship in Modern Bible Teach ing." Professor Laughlin's topic was "The Pastoral Epistles in the Light of One Roman Imprisonment." Of the three professors inaugurated great things are expected by the theo logical seminary authorities. Profes sor Bade is said to be a man of ex traordinary scholarship. Professor Laughlin has been Instructor in Bibli cal /literature at Princeton. Dr. Buck ham was pastor of a leading Congre gational church at Salem, Mass., for twelve years and his achievements in scholarship are deemed noteworthy. Master Bakers' Association. A call has been issued for a meet ing of all the master bakers in Cal ifornia to be held at some date here after to be set during next month, when the proposition of the journey men bakers to unionize boys about to learn the trade will be discussed. A schedule of. wages for journeymen bakers and apprentices, with other matters relating to the bakery busi ness, will also come in for a general review when the convention of the Master Bakers' Association meets. The present officers of the association are: President, Charles Bantel; vice presi dent, Nichols Prost; secretary-treas- urer. Max Wiesen Lutter; recording secretary, Edward McDevitt.

PRUNES DOWN LAWYERS' FEES The Adoption of Schedule of Prices in Probate Matters Creates General Dismay OGDEX 3IAKES NEW RULE Los Angeles Prices, Where Lawyers Are Many and Work Scarce, Are to Rule Oakland Offlce San Francisco Call, 1016 Broadway, Jan. 23. Somewhat of a sensation was sprung upon the attorneys practicing at the Alameda County bar when Judge Og j den this morning announced that he j should adopt the Los Angeles schedule lof prices for probate matters. It means a large cut in the fees heretofore al j lowed. In previous years attorneys j were sworn and interrogated in regard to the amount and character of the ) work done and a fee allowed accord- S ingly. Now, by the new fee system ' for estates of $1000 or less, there will be allowed a fee of five per cent, and on estates up to $10,000 two per cent. Expressions of attorneys are to the effect that the same conditions do not obtain here as at Los Angeles. They say the southern city is a Mecca for invalid attorneys who work Just to keep busy and that there are 1200 law yers in the town with work for about fifty, and that the keen competition has forced rates down to much lesß than the actual work is worth. IMPROVEMENT CLUBS DOING GOOD WORK Zoe Green Radcliffe OAKLAND, Jan. 2U. — That it is much eas ier for an improvement club to accomplish things in a small town than in a big city was demonstrated to-day by a clever little woman from Vallejo, Mrs. Frank W. Gorham, who addressed the Oakland Women's Civic Im provement Club. She is president of a sister organization in Vallejo that in the short four years of its atlstence has done wonders for that town. The club Includes 200 members and to their energy and enterprise Is due a long list of benefactions. Their first care, of course, was to secure clean streets, for the Vallejo Superintendent of Streets differed not a bit from officials In bigger towns and was too busy doing everything else to attend to the work he was elected to do. Clever little "weed letters," / sent wherever needed, called attention to neglected gardens and lots, and then when, also tffrough the club's efforts, two garbage men had been added to the lone scavenger hitherto deemed suiflclent by the city fathers, Vallejo began to assume an en couraging "spick and span" appearance and the women branched out into greater things. They saw to it that the streets were sprinkled, they started school gardens, they gave a series of open air band concerts during the summer, they furnished the juvenile room in the new Carnegie library and now, to encourase the school spirit, they have established a debating society in the High School and are offering a gold and a sliver medal for the successful con testants. So much for the town of Vallejo! But the Civic Improvement Club of Oakland has greater odds to combat than had the women of Vallejo. In the first place the ef forts of the Oakland women must necessarily be scattered, which means wasted energy. If the town could be divided Into districts and an improvement club formed In esch district to co-operate with the main body It would have a tendency to concentrate and localize effort and make It more effective. The spirit of competition, which is always "the life of trad?," would then start a friendly rivalry that could not help being beneficial. As it is, out of the 200 or more women who are sup posfd to be interested in the club, a mere handful of tireless ones are struggling along und=r the weight of political "graft" and the leaden indifference of the people generaUy. However, with that Indomitable woman. Mrs. Sarah Borland, at its head, the Improvement Club has started the ball rolling in the right direction and when they have accomplished the work they have begun Oakland may thank Its women for ilean streets, children's play grounds, shade trees, more parks and a general beautifying of the city. Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Weilbye gave a whist dinner Saturday evening that proved to be a very delightful affair. The dinner that pre cdrd the whist games was quite elaborate, consisting of eight courses. The table was a ropy "drcßm" made real with graceful knots and streamers of pink satin ribbon and clus ters of exquisite carnations. The whist prize* were won by Mrs. Henry Bull and Asa Mendenhall. Among the Wellbyes' guests were Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Schrock. Mr. and Mrs. A. V. Men denhall, Mr. and Mrs. -Henry Bull. Mr. and Mrs. I. A. Beretta. Dr and Mrs. Fred Morse. ♦ • • Mrs. T. L.

CHENEY Suggestion From Secretary Bears Fruit in the Form of Girls' Decision Berkeley Office San Francisco Call, 2148 Center street, Jan. 24. | The "co-eds" have declared against I hats, in class room or on campus, and J the edict for their removal has been ! prepared. It will be issued at once, J and when the order has been promul gated, girls of the University who con -1 tinue to cover up their "crowning ! glory" with toque, bonnet, or what the | irreverent term a "lid," of any descrip j tion, are to be anathema in the ranks i of the women students. | The Associated Women Students of ! the university decided upon this action iat a regular' meeting held on the j campus to-day. They had been told by i Mrs. May Cheney, appointment secre- I tary of the university, who made a trip j East last term and while away visited | many Eastern universities, that girl students in the East are dispensing ] with hats, both in class room and on college campus. The desirability of following the example of the Eastern "co-ed" was pointed out by Mrs. Cheney, whose influence apparently is potent to accomplish reforms, and the action of the associated students to day followed. The portion of the edict relating to the wearing of hats on the campus will not be enforced until' the weather has moderated, and the storms no longer threaten the bay district. In all class rooms, however, the millinery that has so often been the subject of objurga tory remarks by men students will be laid away, and the girls will appear with tresses revealed to all. The senior women last term decided to wear "mortarboards" on the days of university meetings, and the new regulation is not expected to affect them in their peculiar privilege of ap pearing in the ancient form of uni versity headgear on the days in ques tion.

LAND COMPANY'S OFFICER ARRESTED ON GRAVE CHARGE O. W. Schwitzer, secretary of the Pine Valley Land and Cattle Company, a Nevada corporation with "offices in the Parrott building, was arrested last night and charged with obtaining money under false pretenses. An Ital ian named Canese Giovombotto makes the complaint and alleges that Schwitz er received $50 from him on the un derstanding that he should secure him a job with the company. According to the officers of the cor . poration, of which Jesse Orwin is pres j ident and J. Emmett Walsh attorney, i Schwifzer has been using his office for J his own purposes and pocketing his ill i gotten gains. The first intimation the j company had of the charge against j Schwitzer was after he had been taken ■ into custody. The concern authorized I the secretary to advertise the sale of j stock, but the official is alleged to have 1 informed would-be purchasers when I they called, at the office that, in con- I sideration of a certain amount, they i would receive a steady position. The | corporation owns several thousand ! acres of land in Nevada, also several I thousand head of cattle. Will Discuss Coaches. : .
