AGAIN
Oakland's Council Rises
to the Occasion.
An Ordinance introduced to Pro.
hibit the Maintenance of the
Cage System on Cars.

The prospective action of the Southern
Pacific Railroad to evade the obligation of
free travel in the corporate limits of Oak
land is likely to he effectually checkmated
by the City Council.
That body is standing nobly between the
people and the monopoly. Some time ago
the railroad endangered life and limb in
Oakland by instituting the ''fliers," which
sped through the main streets at thrilling
rate. not stopping at the points most con-
venient to citizens. The avowed OBJ
iect was to accommodate the regular pas
sengers, who objected to free travel; but
the admitted purpose was to discommcde
persons desiring to patronze the opposi-
ton Davie ferry. The Council stepped in
and compelled the autocratic railroad to
''go slow" in this respect
Now again, the inventive genius of the
Southern Pacific had devised a system Of
wire screens whereby ii mad hoped to shut
of the free tTayel-ODe Of the most im-
portant conditions of its franchise. Once
again the City Council steps in to the res
cue, and, iffinally ratified, It's action should
prove conclusive.
=: At meeting of the City Council last
night the following ordinance was intro
duced by Councilman Dow and referred to
the Ordinance and Judiciary Committee ::
''Be it ordained by the Council of the
city of Oakland as follows:
Section l. 1t is hereby declared unlaw-
= ful and against public safety for any per-
SOD, firm. corporation, or any officer or en-
ploye of any corporation, operating, con-
trolling. owning or in charge Of any steam
railroad or streetca railroad on, over or
:through any public street in the city of
Oakland to maintain or cause or permit to
he maintained any gate, door, nettiE g,
slide, bar or other con trivance with or in
proximity to any platform or steps of any
car of such railroad which will prevent,
impede or in any degree interfere with the
free and unobstructed egress and passage
from said platform or said steps by any
person thereon at any time while said car
is within the said city.
'Sec. 2. 1t is hereby declared unlawful
and against public safety for any person,
firm, corporation or any officer or employe
of corporation mentioned IN section l
hereof, to lock or in any way fasten, or
cause or permit to be locked or otherwise
fastened, any door leading from any car OF
such railroad to the platform thereof; pro-
vided. however, that said door may be
equipped and temporarily fastened with
the usual. knob and spring latch, which
knob and latch shall be at all times in a
condition and sufficient in themselves to
open said door from either side thereof by
any person at any time while said car is
within said city.
For the violation of this ordinance a
hre OF $3.50 was attached, or Imprisonment
In the City Prison at the rate of day for
each 81 OF said fine not paid
A resolution of Intention to grade and
nacadamIZe Castro street, between First
street and the line, was introduced, but
4aid on the table. as Manuel said Fnrtin
ana Kendall intended to do 1t themselves.

ALAMEDA.

Robert and Fred Farran and James
Mitchell reported to the officers that they
were waylaid on the Redwood Canyon
road and despoiled Of valuable shotgun.
The matter was fully investigated by the
police, and it was found to have no founda-
tion.
May Have Been Reams.
The body of q young man found on the
beach near Pinole, about ten days ago, is
now thought, from the description OF his
clothes, to be young Reams, who resided
in Alameda and was drowned OFT Goat
Island. He has been buried in the pot
ter's field of Contra Costa County.
Beat His Stepmother.
Henry Vogts, who is fond of whipping
his stepmother, is now behind the bars for
indulging in this pastme. He will be
tried before jury upon charge of bat
terry.
Protected His Mother.
Young Hill. who pulled a gun on his
father to protect his mother, had his pre-
liminary examination yesterday morning.
The family has made peace, and now want
all charges dismissed.
New Church.
The contract for the erection Of the Uni
tartan church at cost Of S8430 has been
let to 81. +. Jones. 1t will be built on a
10. on Grand street, near Santa Clara
avenue, and finished within three months.
Locked Up.
Deputy Constable Won Kapff, tho expert
pis tol shot. attempted to arrest two little
BOYS named Gardner. and when he entered
their house on Alameda avenue, near Oak
street, one of the little boys slipped out
side and lock ed the officer up in the house.
He experienced considerable difficulty be-
fore be was able to reach the street with
his prisoner.

looms OF darker material and a slouch hat.

He wore gray check tweed suit, panta-
looms OF darker material and slouch hat.
Detective Seymour. who was detailed on
the case, called at the Bank Of California
yesterday and made inquiry as to Young
and his drafts. The bank authorities
stated that they had not been called upon
by any person of that name nor had they
been advised from Montana OF any drafts
having been drawn upon them for $50. 600.
II that sum had been deposited there by
Young and drafts drawn upon the bank 1t
would have had advices before now to
that effect
The police think that Harrison may
have been mistaken in the bank men,
toned by Young ana that 1t is possible
the drafts may have been upon one of the
other banks in this city.
Chief Crowley sent a dispatch last night
to the Chief of Police at Butte, Mont,
asking for information about Young and
the alleged S55. 900 transaction.
Meantime Young's peculiar disappear
ance Is a mystery. He was an absolute
stranger to the city and Harrison states
that he is the only person here with whom
he was acquainted. He was steady, in
telligent, truthful man, which makes Har-
rison all the more convinced that Young
has been foully dealt with.

it to himself. have not the slightest idea

Ibid Colonel Mendel give permission
for the piles to be driven ?"
He had no ground on which he could
object. He would not allow solid bulk
head to be built where these piles have
been driven, but so far as we are con-
cerned the railroad company or ANYBODY
else can drive piles there or build wharves
If it is not done in such way Is to inter-
fere with the movement of the tides"
Colonel Mendell was seen last night In
reference to the fencing in" of the Oak
land water front by the Southern Pacific
Company.
what steps will you take, Colonel, in
reference TO the row of piles now being
driven along the Oakland water front ?"
was asked.
Nothing at ALL" replied Colonel Men
dell. II have no authority to interfere in
the matter The railroad company has
long claimed the land and is, l suppose.
now making its claim good. Tne United
States Government is not interested in the
matter, as the piles are within the 'harbor
line.' Ii you or anybody else is interested
you might write tn the Secretary of War.
| will not do anything"
The morning call., 1893-10-04
For that reason he had once written little
| hook called s.MnSlc and Morals"

For that reason he had once written little
book called "Muslc and Morals"
Music should bear the same relation to
morals as architecture and painting Music
is the language of emotion; emotion is
connected with thought and thought with
action. Action is conn ected with conduct
and the sphere of morals; therefore music
is connected with morals.
Having established the dignity of music
Mr.. Haweis proceeded to show that music
was the art IF the age. The rationale of
the arts was first inquired into Man was
always seeking to see expressed outwardly
the feeling hidden within him; man
was essentially dramatic. When man
could not express himself he fell back on
the painter. poet and musician. That was
the reason that these eXponents were the
darliEgs Of the age, and why the great
mercantile practical people patronlZed and
paid these experts of expression.
There was peculiar periodicity about
the arts. At present music was the
only living, growing art Painting and
sculpture we're for the present "played
out" Raphael had reached the climax OF
his art, and all the architecture of to-day
was only reproduction of the past. From
the first discovery of modern music in the
1500s there has been steady progress up to
Wagner, the master. Therefore. this was
the golden age of music. Ii was like the
prime age of Phidias or Praxiteles.
The art of music is the art of the age
because il has come forth in respone to the
demands of the most cultured age. The
rise and fall of emotions, the aspirations OF
the human soul had demanded some means
of expression and found it in music The
sculptor and missal illumination, the painter
had all striven to express the complex ex-
preston of life The expression must deal
with change and movement-especally
movement. This was especially the at
tribute of music-it changed, kindled,
| soothed-and that is why music is essen
TALLY the art of the age.
The lecturer proposed to lead his audi
ence into the inner arcana of music and iD-
troduce them to the anatomy of music aud
the reason why special notes affected peo-
pie in certain ways. Music was essentially

MUSIC A MEDIUM.
Rev. II. z. Haweis on the 60 Modern
Art.''

ATl.
Rev. Hugh Reginald Haweis Of London
entranced large and cultured audience
at Golden Gate Hall last night by an
entertaining and instructive lecture on
"Music, the Art of the Age" Slight of
stature and apparently handicapped by a
slight limp in gait, the speaker by his
easy manner, natural drollery and under
lying enthusiasm. fairly held the house in
tnrall for the two hours of his address.
The lecturer was introduced by Right
Rev. w. Ford Nichols, who said he re-
joiced at any occasion when tho clergy
won back place in the foremost ranks of
the finer arts. He voiced an appreciative
welcome for Mr.. Hawels. On the stage
with him were Rev. f. d. Church and
Rev. Giles Easton of Berkeley.
Mr. Haweis, who was received with ap-
pIause. said his lecture properly covered
three subjects-either "Music and Noise. I"
"Music and Morals" or 'Muslc the Art
of the Age" At the same time he did not
think any art was respectable unless its
connection with morals was clearly shown.

BERKELEY.

The appeal of the case involving the
validity of the incorporation of Berkeley
is being prosecuted under the direction of
the Town Board of Trustees by Town At
torney Robinson. But for fear the Trus-
tees should order the abandonment a
second appeal in the case has been taken
by ]. W. Cooley. City Recorder. so that
there may be no possibility of lapse of
appeal. 1t is probable that the claims of
the ex-city officers for salaries. which
alone of the bills allowed by the city
board were not repassed by the town
board last Saturday. will be Represented
next Monday evening at the board meet
ing. The board at an informal meet
ing discussed the matter OF allowing
or disallowing these bills for an hour,
and for another hour after the board was
called to order the discussion waxed hot.
the motion to allow being finally lost by
a vote of to 3. Trustees Acton and
Shibenrauch voting aye. This action OF
the board was IN accord with the written
opipioC of the attorney on file, but mas
much as after filing the written opinion
he stated to Trustee Acton that the board
could pass all warrants anew and
thus throw the responsibility for their
payment or not on the Town Treasurer
it is thought the rejected claims Will be
represented and perhaps allowed at the
next meeting.
Midwinter Fair.
The M'dwinter Fair committee has
again come to life. and will try to meet
next Tuesday evening to lay out and adop
plans for any part Berkeley may take in
the fair. A call for a like committee
meeting some time since met wi no re-
sponse. The university, however. is ar
ranging TO make an educational exhibit.
President Kellogg is in communication
with Stanford University with the idea OF
arranging a joint exhibit which will do
honor to the foremost educational institu-
ti0ns of the coast.
