LATEST BERKELEY NEWS,
An Old School Warrant Turns
Up MySteriOuSly and
Causes Trouble.
Teachers for the Coming Year
Assigned-Eugene Warwick
Thought to Be Lost.

A long lost school warrant, dated Octo-
Der 6, 1891, numbered 541. calling for S65
and drawn in favor of Mrs. Kennedy, a
former teacher in the Berkeley schools, is
causing considerable comment among the
members of the State board. The docu-
ment was received few days ago by Prin-
cipal Waterman, from Mrs. Kennedy, who
said she had found it in an old purse.
She claimed never to have received the
money which the warrant calls for, but
admitted that she acknowledged receiving
all that was due her from the board
Clerk Hanscom says that in the old
treasury book entry of the payment of the
warrant was made in lead pencil, while all
other entries on the page were in ink. In
the footings the lead-pencil entry ap-
peared as paid, but on the side check marks
were made of all the other entries save
this one.
Clerk Hanscom has looked over the
check books in use at the time of the issue
of the warrant, but has thus far been un-
able to find any record of the one held by
Mrs. Kennedy. 1t is expected that Thomas
Ham, who was Treasurer at the time the
warrant is dated will be able to throw
some light on the subject upon his return
from the country.
Teachers Are Assigned.

Directors, held last evening, teachers were

DEATH OF PETER BARRINGER.

An Octogenarian Who Took Part in the
Waterfront Troubles.
Peter II. Barringer, one of the historic
characters connected with the Oakland
waterfront troubles, died yesterday morn

not inactive in the struggles which were
waged with the Waterfront Company.
He was tenant in common with ]. P.

disputed property at the foot OF Castro

he lived alone. He supported himself by
gathering driftwood on the beach and sell

WANTED TOO MUCH PIE.
Populist Lloyd Succeeds Chief
of Police SChaffer
Tomorrow.
NO FIRE CHIEF PROGRAMMED.
An Attempt to Remove First Assist
ant Miles Doody
Falls.

Charles E. Lloyd, the newly appointed
Chief of Police, will take Office tomorrow,
and it is not probable that Chief Schaffer
will make any contest for his position.
Regarding the appointments of Chief OF
Police and Superintendent of Streets, some
facts have been given out which contrast
very strongly with Mayor Davies boasted
LOYALTY to the Peoples party. The ap-
pointment of Populists to the offices men,
toned is due to the efforts of Commits
sioner Peirsol.
When the changes in the head of the
department were first mooted, a secret
meeting of the heads of the Peoples party
was called and Mr.. Peirsol was invited to
attend The patronage at the disposal of
the Board of Works was freely discussed
and some changes were decided upon. The
Mayor, who owed his election in some de-
gree to the support of the Police Depart
ment, said that if Populist could not be
found 10 make good Chief of Police he
would like to see a good Republican re-
tanned in Office. He made the same re-
mark regarding the Street Department.
Commissioner PeirsoI, however, refused to
be drawn into the net, and thought there
must surely be good Populists to fill all
important positions. 1t is due to him that
Lloyd and Miller were appointed. and in
both instances the Mayor opposed their
election.
Commissioners Peirsol aud Wilson re-
Gently discovered that the Mayor was at
tempting to form an alliance with each,
agreeing to vote with each in support OF
their respective candidate. and by this sys-
tenn of reciprocity he would be practically
commanding all the patronage. But this
was found out and at the last three meet
ings of the board sitting as Police and Fire
Commissioners, Mayor Davie has been alb
sent and Wilson and Peirsol have met and
done all the business. There are forty ex-
ira men in the Fire Department and be-
cause the two Commissioners would not
follow the Mayors advice and appoint
Populists at once the breach is still wider.
The only head of department that is not
changed is that OF the Fire Department
I'VE have not vet decided upon a man
for the place" said Commissioner Peirsol
last night, land all rumors are without
foundation, although one of them might
prove to be true. have been told that
the Mayor offered the position to Fred A.
Campbell, but this may not be true. Mr..
Wilson is a Republican, and was nomi-
mated by the Peoples party and Endorsed
by the Republicans, and under these con-
ditions feel justified in not considering
myself bound by party lines"
The Mayor surprised the Commissioner
yesterday afternoon by appearing at the
meeting OF the Fire Commissioners and Of
fering a resolution to declare the office of
First Assistant Doody vacant. Mr.. Peirsol
excused himself from voting, Wilson
voted no, and the Mayors resolution was
killed.

LATE NEWS OF ALAMEDA,
Judge FriCk Authorizes a Com
promise in the Campbell
Estate.
Charles Raymond to Be Examined
for BurgIary-The Schools Open
Tomorrow.

The Public Administrator, who had
charge of the J. A. Campbell estate, has
been authorized by Judge Frick to COM
promise with Mrs. Samuel Speedily. In
1898 Campbell lived with the Speedily
family at 924 Santa Clara avenue. During
the year he died, when it was found that
Mrs Speedily had possession of his bank
book. She stated that Campbell asked her
to accept it as present The heirs of Camp
bell in the East objected and Samuel Speedily
went East to effect compromise, but the
heirs refused to come to any terms, and
had James Stanley who was Public Ad-
ministrator at the time, appointed ad-
ministrator of the estate. Mr.. Stanley
su cceeded in tying the money up in bank
so Mrs. Speedily could not draw it, when
she commenced suit to recover. The case
has been pending for a long time and the
estate will be distributed.
A Heavy Mortgage Recorded.
Theodore Meetz, the pioneer street rail-
road man of this city and large property
owner, has placed heavy mortgage on a
portion of his realtv The German Savings
and Loan Society of San Francisco filed the
record yesterday with the County Recorder
in favor of itself for the sum of $1S, 900, COW
ering fifteen pieces of land belonging to
Meetz The document is one of the longest
ever placed on record in Alameda County.
1t is from eight to ten feet long and en-
braces minute description of each of the
fifteen pieces covered by the mortgage.
Raymond Identified.
Charles Raymond will be examined for
burglary this morning by Justice Morris.
The charge is for having entered the prem
ises of w G. Painter of 2153 Pacific avenue
and stealing tools A dozen people have
called at the police station and identified
Raymond as the individual who borrowed
one or another tool and failed to return it.
James Cleary, nurseryman of Oakland,
is one of the parties from whom Raymond
borrowed a spade last Wednesday.
Schools open To-Morrow.
The public schools will reopen tomorrow
after the summer vacation, and not on
Monday, as many thought. The subdi-
visions of school districts will remain as
they were last year, except that the divid-
ing line between the Porter and Haight
districts will be changed to follow the GEN.

clans contesting for a place on the City
Board of Health, stated yesterday that At
torney-General Fitzgerald had indicated
his willingness to issue quo warranto pro-

fridge, is now drawing up the papers in

Drs Shuey and Beckwith were appointed
to the board by Mayor Davie. Afterwards
the Mayor declared that they were not
eligible to hold the positions and removed
them from Office, appointing the two con-
testing doctors to their places. Drs. Shuey
and Beckwlth, however, declared that the
Mayor had no right to make summary re-
movals, and they were recognized by the
other members of the board.
