AUSTRALIA WANTS
AN IRIGATIONIST
Tempting Offer Made to S. W.
Roedding, Who Declines to
Accept Position
BERKELEY. June 16. — A tempting
offer at a big Increase over the present
salary he is receiving as head of the
department of irrigation for the, gov
ernment on the coast has been ten
dered to S. W. Roedding. whose head
quarters are in the agricultural build
ing of the university, but on account
of the wish of his parents to remain
in this city he has refused it.
The offer was made by the municipal
commission of New South Wales, Aus
tralia, and the position carried with
it a remuneration of $4,000 a year.
Roedding has declined it.
Prof. Ellwood Mead, formerly chief
of the department of irrigation of the
government, is at present in Aus
tralia at the head of the British irri
gation work there, and on account of
a recent promotion, coupled with a
substantial ' increase in salary, will
probably remain there, severing hh*
connection with the university.
He was succeeded by Prof. Samuel
Fortier. head of the department of
irrigation of the university, who was
sent to Washington. Roedding was
brought from the Cheyenne station,
where he made an enviable reputation,
to fill Fortier's place.
PRINCIPAL HAS HIGH
SCHOOL BOYS JAILED
Charges Lads Set Off Fireworks
in Halls
OAKLAND, June 16. — A pyrotechnic
outbreak in the Oakland high school
last Wednesday, when the halls were
filled with exploding .fire crackers and
a class room made unpleasant with a
strange odorous compound, led today
to the issuance of two . warrants for
pupils, at the instigation- of the prin
cipal, C. E. Keyes. The school master
accuses Thomas Hogan Jr. and Albert
Kayser,- pupils, with disturbing < the
peace.
Hogan heard late this afternoon that
a warrant had been issued for him and
gave himself up to the police. Kayser
has been informed of the warrant for
his arrest and will follow Hogan's lead
tomorrow. \u25a0 : .
Principal Keyes investigated the
disturbance for several days after it
occurred, but only today swore out the
warrants. It is supposed that some
boys from! the Alameda -high school
took part, in the prank which caused
Hogan's and Kayeer's arrest.
Hogan is the son of Thomas .P.
Hogan of 918 Oak street, -vice presi
dent of the Hogan Lumber, company.
Young. Kayser lives-in Piedmont. Their
cases wjll be called in the police court
tomorrow morning.

HITE AND DONLIN
DRAW IN OAKLAND
Comedy Pair Creates Sensation
With Clever Act in City <
Over the Bay-
. OAKLAND, June 16.— Mabel Hite and
Mike Donlin are creating a sensation
at the Oakland Orpheum this week.
The big. ball player is drawing the
crowds, the magic of his; name being
potent enough to draw the multitudes
even when he- i5. 3,000 miles away from
the home grounds— the. Polo ground in
New York.
Mike is a- genuine actor. ,but so
modest in all that he does on the stage
that he really is not likely to get all
the laurels that are coming to liim** He
does a dance with Mabel Hite that
makes all other dancers' appear to be
in the two spot class. For grace and
abandonment and celerity of movement
he is unquestionably the king of them
all. ; No other ball player who has gone
into vaudeville as a. star can hope to
touch : | Mike -in the matter of . terpsi
chorean "elegance.
Seriously Mike Donlin shows how a
clever t woman— none -other than Mabel
Hite — can. develop .raw material into
fine. stage stuff in a. ver>v short time.
Both Miss' Hite and Donlin are so
famous in their respective fields that
when' the two double up. and join
forces in a vaudeville sketch the con
clusion is inevitable- — sure success lor
everybody concerned.
Out at .the ball, 'grounds Donlin prac
tices with the men |of the coast and
state ' leagues. He keeps himself in
perfect condition with this exercise,
being ready at a moment's notice again
to don, the uniform and get: into the
game in which he is known as the king
pin.-- .. !',,:.' '
'The Orpheum people promise another
crackajack . new \u25a0 show/ next " Sunday
afternoon. The bill then is to.be
strengthened by v , the addition of some
of the stellar \u25a0 features that are now. at
the San. Francisco house.
Night at the Circus" will, be the
principal new attraction next Sunday.
This is the greatest novelty of the year,

CHECKS PAYABLE
IN 17,000 YEARS
Signer of Promises to Pay
Wants Paper Returned as \
Already Satisfied
OAKLAND, 'June 16. — Checks that
are not 'payable for 17.000 years are
the objects of contention* in \a suit
brought today by A. S. -Gotthellf
against Andrew J. Bowman, as admin
istrator of the estate of his wife. Sarah
E. Bowman.
The checks v.-ere signed by Gottheilf
and made payable to Mrs. Bowman.
The nn»t"of them is on the First na
tional bank of Oakland for $2,650 and
bears the date March ID, 190 S. It is
indorsed as follows: "Payable March
10, 10010." The f rest of. them are as
! follows: October 9. 1908. $SQO* payable
October 9, 19010:. November 6, 1908.
; $1,000,,' payable November 6. 19010;
January 2, 1909, $2,000. payable 19012;
January 11, 1903. $1,000, payable Jan
uary H.r19012. j
Besides these checks, there is one
given by Gottheilf to Mrs. Bowman for
$500, bearing date February 8, 1909.
but no mention of waiting 17.000 years
for presentation. Another check that
Is involved was given by Gottheilf and
his wife to Mrs. Bowman for $1,500.
Gottheilf, who is proprietor of a
cloak house in Oakland, wants these
checks surrendered to him and «an
celed, as he says he paid Mrs. Bowman
the money they represent, either in
cash or services. The checks were
placed in two envelopes, one inside the
other, and on one of them Mrs. Bow
man wrote: 'This is the property' of
A. S. Gottheilf. No one is to\open it
but himself." But Bowman got pos
session of the checks after his wife's
death and listed them among the assets
of the estate. Mrs. Bowman died April
23 of this year. Gottheilf contends
that the checks were canceled by de
livery to him. He asks the court to
issue an injunction forbidding Bow
man to negotiate the Instruments and
for an order that they be delivered to \
him and declared void as obligations
against him.
Mrs. Gottheilf made a scene, in the
probate court when Bowman offered
the checks as assets and cried aloud:
"May the curses of God fall upon the
man who failed to respect the wishes
of a dying woman."

QUARRELS OF WOMEN
INVOLVE NEIGHBORS
Twenty-seven Character Wit
nesses Appear in Poiice Court
OAKLAND. June 16. — Twenty-seven
character witnesses, all the mothers
'of i families living around two home 3
in "Fifty-fifth street, occupied every
seat in the lobby of Judge Samuels* S
police court this morning when the
case of disturbing the peace, brought
by Mrs. Hattie C. Almos against Mrs.
Catherine Gleason. a widow, was
called. ...
The witnesses belonged to Mrs.
Gleaion's retinue. After her arrest
at Mrs. Almos' instigation the widow
had retained Attorney Thomas Brad
ley, who subpenaed most of the
neighborhood.
Judge Samuels heard three -wit
nesses and dismissed the case without
more ado. Mrs. Almos charges that
Mrs. ' Gleason, -who lives at 664 Fifty
sixth street, is the terror of the
neighborhood and has frightened chil
dren and driven three neighbors out
of the region. Mrs. Gleason on the
other hand said she could get cre
dentials from every church in Oak
land. She denounced her rival, who
lives at 65S Fifty-sixth street, until the
Judge ordered her to quit.
Mrs. Maria Murphy of 934 Sixty
third street, was the complainant
against Mrs. Lizzie Morrissey of 93i'
Sixty-third street, also charged witii
disturbing the peace. Judge Samuels
had a comparatively placid tim** with
this case, which he took under aJ
visement.
