Policemen Opposed to the
Gymnasium.
THEY RlDICULE THE IDEA.
Members of the Force Discuss
the Matter.
NO ATHLETIC EXERCISE WANTED
A Belief That the Routine Duties of
a Patrolman Should Develop
His Muscles.

The patrolmen of this town are not in
accord with their executive officers on
the question of gymnasium for the mem
bers of the police force.
Chief Crowley believes that little
athletic exercise would do the men under
him world of good and time after time
has he asked the Supervisors to make pro-
visions for clubroom where the police
men could gather and develop their
muscle.
The men believe they get about all the
exercise necessary for their welfare while
patrolliDg their different beats and are
pretty loud in the assertion that gym
nasiums and dumbbells and all that sort
of thing are made for children and not for
gray-haired men.
They believe il would be undignifed for
them TO climb into costumes similar to
those worn by athletes and cavort around

in somewhat different light. He does
not strongly favor the gymnasium idea so

+" NULL AND VOID"
The City Fire Ordinance
Unconstitutional.
Judge Campbell's Decision in the
SchussIer Case-The City to APP
peal to the Superior Court.

Judge Campbell declared the city fire
ordinance unconstitutional yesterday and
incidentally intimated to Schussler Bros
that they might erect and use a steam
boiler at 312 Grove street without permits
sion from the Board of Supervisors.
Judge Louderback, who represented the
city in the trial of the case against
Schussler Bros, will appeal from Camp
BELLS decision TO the Superior Court
Schussler Bros. are proprietors of pic
ture frame factory built by them four or
five years ago. They asked and obtained
permission to use steam boiler in the
factory. but this permission was subse-
QueDtly revoked at the REQUEST of property
owners in the vicinity. The boiler used
by the Schusslers was inspected and proved
to be In good condition; and its owners,
after deciding that the revocation of their
permit was nothing but spite work on the
part of their eighbors, determined to con-
tlnue lis use. There are about thirty
boilers within radius of four blocks of
their factory and there are four boilers in
the same block; so they came 20 the con-
cluslon that the action of the Supervisors
was unlawful.
j. 2. Dunno, who represented the Sehuss-
lers, declared that the ordinance which
gives the Supervisors power TO revoke
permit at Their pleasure is unconstitutional,
and quoted authorities 10 show that SINH
lar ordinances had not only been declared
invalid by the courts of other States, but
by the Supreme Court of the United
States. These courts have held that such
an ordinance is invalid, because it gives
unrestrained, unlimited and unregulated
powers to Supervisors and Aldermen to
destroy mans business.
For instance" said Attorney Dunno,
''the consolidated streetcar companies of
this city use boilers. Now. if we had a
corrupt Board of Supervisors the consol-
dated companies could bride them to re-
woke the permits of the companies that are
not in The combine. and thus destroy their
business. The ordinance should provide
that no permit could be revoked without
just cause. and rules should be adopted for
The issuance and revocation of permits
that would place all owners OF boilers on
the same footing"

goes in for every sort of exercise. He

Every man should know how to box

be for him. 1t is all right to argue that a
policeman gets lot of exercise while

get the right kind. In order to be bene-

into a dozen different factions and Mrs.
Susan Carpenter was turned out of her
house.
The story of the trouble dates back a
year or more to the time when the
Woman's Exchange first came into exist
ence.
1t was organized for charitable pur-
poses and by the members of Alameda's
exclusive SCI. To be a member of the
Woman's Exchange was conclusive proof
of claim TO social recognition, and those
who had not the honor of having their
names ON the roll felt that the lot was in
deed hard one.
In its infancy the organization did not
prove startling success.
True. the members attended meetings
with great degree of regularity. and ap-
peared to enjoy themselves hugely. but for

There was barely standing room at the
grand sacred concert and devotional SER

Rossini's beautiful setting of the ''Stabat
Mater" was produced almost in its en-
tirety under the direction OF tie organist
and choirmaster, ). Arrillaga. and the per-
formance reflected great credit upon all
concerned
The opening chorus was well rendered.
though there was once or twice a slight
uncertainty. j. S. Morrissey sang the
Cujas Amman in a dramatic style, and
his voice was perfectly true, though some
what throaty. The alto and soprano, Mrs.
O'Brien and Mrs. Sutton, sang their duet
well together.
The bass soloist. Harold Basford, had a
good voice, but he might with advantage
have been more self-assertive, for there
were passages when he almost gave one
the idea of accompanying The organ instead
of the organ accompanying him. Apart
from this, lis solo was executed very sat-
isfactorily.
The beautiful quartet, ''Sancta Mater"
was excellenily sung. j. G. Morrissey pc

well with the exception of the last chorus,
which was uncertain at the beginning,
though the performers finished IL in sat-
isfactory style.

with the organ. S. Arrillaga conducted

To-Day That Hat Will Be Seen in
the Parade and at the Mid
winter Fair.

The Irishman who sports blackthorn
stick from an Irish hedgerow on St Pat
riek's day is well known; so is the man
who wears a shamrock fresh from the
''old sod; but IL was reserved for Jere-
miah Toohey Of Oakland to wear on the
suspicious birthday Of Erin's patron saint
a green tile which in everything but color
is the same as the stovepipe Of the average
dude.
How Toohey conceived the idea of this
wonderful headgear is not known. but it is
understood that, like one Of Campbell's
sweetest poems, he dreamed Of 1t. How
ever that may be. green silk tile Toohey
desired, and green silk tile T0ohey had
to have, and he got it.
When he first thought of it Toohey con-
sidered that all he had to do was to give
the order and it were done. He visited a
fashionable halter. who nearly tainted at

for that hat"
After visiting every halter in this city
TOohey came to the conclusion that it
could not be done. Difficulties only made
the honor of having such a hat all the
greater. ToOhey thought some more, and
the result was that an ''ad" worded like

table work was accomplished, and soon the
membership began to dwinde away so
rapidly that there was much talk of dis
banding.
1t was then that Mrs. Carpenter came
to the front. She expressed implicit faith
in the socieiy's ability to do good if it
only made the proper effort. and declared
her willingness to lead the way if author
lied to do so.
The authority asked for was soon
granted. and then Mrs. Carpenter went to
work with will.
The result of her labors was tie house
over which everybody is now quarreling.
With the assistance OF several of Ala
medals citizens the building was erected
on leased lot on Park street as a home
for the exchange. An employment Office
was established, and one or two other
schemes 10 help the needy were put into

THE PASTORAL SYMPHONY.
Another Programme by the Prater
Orchestra.


Orchestra.
$here was a larger and more enthusi-
astic audience than ever at the concert
given by the Vienna Prater orchestra yes
terday evening in Metropolitan Temple.
The entire performance, with the excep-
ton of encores. consisted OF music in
which the band has not been heard before
at these concerts. Beethoyen's beautiful
sixth symphony. the Pastoral" formed
the first part of the programme. 1t was
played in the artistic manner which marks
all the Beethoven productions of the
Prater band. The teDpOs were excellent,
particularly that OF the last movement,
and the shading left nothing TO be desired.
The overture TO alfalfa, (which opened
the popular concert" received an oya-
ton that one would hardly have pre-
dlcted for it in a community where ora
toriO music is seldom performed 1t was
interpreted In manner which accentuated
the dramatic elements in which Men,
delssOhn's 'Athslia" abounds, and this
may have contributed TO the Outburst of
enthusiasm which two Of the bands most
popular encores-"The MilP' and Gillers
'Entr'aete Gavotte"-harely satisfied.
A fantasia upon Verdi's "RigolpttO"
arranged for clarionet and orchestra
was performed by the solost. Herr Otto
FrietZsche, with excellent, execution and
good phraslng. Sorrow and JOY" a
character-piece, composed by Hans Schuy,
a member of the orchestra, was conducted
by the composer. The melodies were
pretty, particularly those of the second
movement. The bars where the cello
sustained the theme, accompanied by
piZZicato upon the other strings, were par
ticularly effective. The composer must
have been gratitied by the reception &C
corded his work,
Under the Shadow OF Ruin" and I'm

main in their seats until the very end of
the programme.

In few weeks Toohey had received two
carloads of all kinds of green material.
There was green baiZe and green silk.
green billiard cloth. green carpet. green
WOODEN goods. green cotton goods-every-
thing green, but no good for the purpose.
Toohey was in despair. One evening
the letter-carrier left little box 1t was
from Paris-Laduc, Freres ct Cie.-and
contained a SAMPLE of what Toohey
wanted. He was overioyed, delighted.
His delight was not quite SO demohstrative
when he looked at the first cost-S3O. But
TOohey was determined. The hat was or
dered. and IN due course arrived. 1t was
beautiful article and had a beautiful
bill. In fact. it was bird. What with
duty. original cost, freight and other
charges, the total cost reached SO. Toohey
paid the money like little man, and he
will wear that tile to-day.
1t will be the 10 ost conspicuous object in
the parade. It's not exactly the kind "his
father wore" for fashions have changed
since then. This hat is the latest creation
OF the bOulevards in shape, and in luster
1t is the most beautiful green ever seen.
1t is worth the money There isn't son
of Erin who has heard of that hat but
wishes he had thought Of it himself. 1t is
safe to say it will create a sensation,
Knowing this Mr.. Toohey called upon the
committee of music for Ieeland's day cele-
bration last night and requested that on
no account will the bands he permitted to
play Where Did You Get That Hat?'

when at its best was not worth more
than $50.
The building was the property of the
Woman's Exchange, charitable organiza-
ton of Alameda. but it is pretty hard to
tell just who does own it row.
Mrs. Susan Carpenter claims title TO it.
Mrs. DIR. Dennis wants it and Deputy
Sheriff is in possession of it.
This tangled-up condition of affairs is
the result OF a little engagement which
took place last Wednesday night.
The excitement did no; last more than
an hour, but before it was abated fourteen

Two digaified limbs of the law punched
each others head in true pug!listic style,

ago and now earns his monthly stipend by
riding around on the patrol wagon and
caring for persons under arrest.
Mr.. Gaynor tips the beam at about $50
pounds and takes on new flesh every day.
He is not very active person, nor does he
feel a bit inclined 10 do anything that
might bring to him additional activity.
"And what would you have me do in a
gymnasium ?" he replied when asked for
his views. Would you have me become

operation. Then Mrs. Carpenter was
placed in charge of the concern and per-
milted to establish her home there.
After this affairs went along smo othly for
several months and until some one became
imbued with the idea that about the only
person who was being benefited by the
society was Mrs. Carpenter. Then n
change was demanded and factional diff
ferences arose.
Mrs. George Birkmaer championed the
cause of Mrs. Carpenter, while Mrs. DIR.
Dennis headed the opposition. and the
meetings of the organization abounded in
exciting scenes.
All sort of schemes 10 GUST Mrs. Car
penter were tried, but each one ended in
failure. and finally Mrs. Dennis withdrew
her forces and organized new society.
Then suit for possession of the building
was instituted against the old organization.
This suit Judge Greene decided day OF
two ago, and it was the decision rendered
which precipitated the trouble.
The court declared the new society to be
entitled to the land. but made 10 special
reference to the house. Consequently
Mrs. Carpenter and her friends main
tanned their claim to the ownership OF it.
Acting in accordance with this claim an
effort to remove the building to new site
was made on Wednesday night.
Housemovers were quietly put to work,
and the concern was fairly on its way to
the new location before Mrs. Dennis and
her friends learned what was going on.
When they did learn, however, they pro-
ceeded to make up for lost time.
Justice of the Peace Swasey was routed
out of his bed and hurried to his office.
Then warrants were issued for the arrest
of everybody connected with the house
moving job, and an order given that they
be served at once.
