PROOF AGAINST STRIKES,
HOW u. S. MAIL" PROTECTS
THE HAYWARDS ELECTRIC
RAILWAY.
THE EMPLOYEES ARE ENJoINED
FROM REFUSING TO MOVE CARS
SHOULD THEY STRIKE.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL,l
908 Broadway, Oct. 16.
The recent expression of opinion that
the carrying of mails by streetcars renders
the company proof against strikes has ex-
cited much interest in this city, where the
practice has been in use over a year.
The Haywards electric road has been
carrying the mails between Oakland, San
Leandro and Haywards for several months
under a contract made directly with the
United States Government. All of its cars
have the letters "U. s. Mail" emblazoned
on each end in large silver letters, and sew
eral mails are carried each day. 1t has
never occurred to the employees that should
they go on strike and refuse to move one
of the "U. s." cars they would be
guilty of treason. There is no regular
organization of streetcar men in this
county. and consequently there would not
be much likelihood of concerted move
ment to go on strike; but there is likely
to be an organization of that kind before
long, and, in such event, the Haywards
road men would be at big disadvantage,
as they are not anxious to meet with the
tate of Eugene Debs.
The manager of the road said the position
OF the mall-carrying street railroads had
never presented itself to the directors. but
admitted that the point was well taken.
"Of course, we are just as much mail
carriers as any of the railroads of the
country We have a contract with the
United States Government. and under the
recent ruling of the Supreme Court OF the
United States it is very evident that the
employees of those cars are enjolned from
striking. In the case of the Baltimore
strikers, it was decided that the strikers
could not refuse to take out cars on which
there was mail matter, but could refuse to
take out cars used only for passengers. AS
a matter of fact all our cars are mail cars,
and in case of any difficulty we would
have mail matter on every car and thereby
insure an unbroken service. We employ
about 100 men on the entire system. but
did not realize before the full meaning OF
u. S. Mail"

BERKELEY WANTS BONDS.
The WEST END APPEALS TO THE
TOWN TRUSTEES FOR PROMPT
ACTION.
MONEY FOR DEEP-WATER WHARF
REQUIRED-SPORT AT THE
UNIVERSITY.

BERKELEY, CAL, Oct. 16-A large
representation of citizens and taxpayers
was present at a meeting of the West
Berkeley Progressive Club last evening,
which was held to consider the school
bonding proposition. Various opinions
were expressed and the matter was dis
cussed at length pro and con.
1t was finally decided to send a COM
munication to the Board of Town Trustees
informing it of the action of the meeting
and requesting it to CAN an election for the
purpose of voting $4,000 bonds for
schools.
A number Of citizens strongly favored
the issuance of bonds for the erection of a
deep-water wharf, since recently several
capitalists who had purposed locating
manufactures here had turned away on
account of the lack OF proper wharf facili-
ties.
In consequence of the remarks made
favoring the construction of a suitable
wharf it was decided to also ask the board
for $50, 900 bonds to be used for that pur-
pose.
University Athletes.
The Athletic Association of the Univer-
sity held a meeting this afternoon for the
purpose of nominating candidates for the
presidency of the Western intercollegiate
Athletic Association for the ensuing year
This honor fell to the U. c., through the
success of the university track team, which
was sent East last spring, in taking first
place at the Intercollegiate Athletic meet
in Chicago.
Arthur W. North, the manager of the
team, and Fred w. Koch, its captain, were
nominated for the presidency, but when
Mr.. Koch was seen tonight he declared
his intention of declining because of lack
of time to properly discharge the duties of
the office, should he be elected.
BerkeIey's Football Team.
BERKELEY, CAL. Oct. 16.-Berkeley's
football men are rapidly acquiring. under
the tutelage of Coach Butterworth, that
snap and vivacity so essential as one of the
prime elements of successful playing.
Rapidity of movement with the ball, speed
and accuracy in tackling and quickness in
returning to positions after down" are
apparently the main features Of the game
which are now being taught to the men on
the line.
Each afternoon individual and team
work is practiced for short time and then
a lineup between the first and second
elevens is called, which is continued
through two or three short periods, with
intervening rests of few minutes dura-
ton.

HIS MEMORY IS BLANK,
AN ALAMEDA MACHINIST UNABLE
TO ACCOUNT FOR HIS
INJURIES.
THOUGHT TO HAVE BEEN HIT by
THE LOCAL TRAIN-TAMALE
PEDDLER ROBBED.

ALAMEDA, CAL, Oct. 16.-The police
were notified early Sunday morning by a
newsboy that the body of a man was lying
at the corner of Railroad avenue and Will
low street. Policeman Kamp visited the
place, and, not finding the body, concluded
the matter was a hoax. The police were
informed this morning, however, that L.
Siebold, a machfnist, living at 210s Buena
Vista avenue, was severely injured Sunday
morning and is still confined to his home.
A peculiar circumstance connected with
the case is that Siebold is unable to solve
the question who or what struck him.
Siebold has been in the habit of getting
up early to catch the $50 train to San
Francisco, where he is employed at the
Union Iron Works. He arose early on
Sunday morning to look at his house,
which is receiving a new coat Of paint, and
on his way to the Willow-street station
says that he met no one. What happened
to him afterward he cannot explain. He
found himself stretched out On the side
walk about o'clock in a dazed condition,
and it was with difficulty that he regained
his feet and reached his home, and had to
be assisted into the house. Blood was
streaming down his face and his clothing
was torn and covered with dust.
Mr. Siebold had his face badly scratched
and one of his ears had been almost torn
off. He also had deep scalp wound and
his right shoulder was badly bruised.
The police are of the opinion that he was
struck by the local train.
Stood Up Tamale PeddIer.
William Jensen and William Tul1ey
were arrested last night on a charge OF
petty larceny. A tamale peddler claims
that the pair helped themselves to several
of his chicken tamales, and when he
asked them for pay he was told to charge
it and if that was not satisfactory he would
get his head punched. Tulley was ar
raigned before Justice Morris this morn
ing and pleaded not guilty, and, not being
able to procure bonds, was sent to Jail to
await trial.
Died of Quick Consumption.
Mrs. II. E. Bush, daughter of Auctioneer
n. Benson, died yesterday morning at the
Hotel Encinal of quick consumption. She
had been i'll about six weeks and arrived
here week ago from Portland, Or. De-
ceased was native of San Francisco and
was about 20 years of age. The funeral
will take place tomorrow morning and
the interment will be in Odd Fellows
Cemetery San Francisco.

OUT FOR LOCAL OPTION.
PARTIAL COLLAPSE OF THE MOVE
MENT FOR SUNDAY CLOS

WAS KILLED BY a PICTURE.
Rev. DR.. CoYLE, "A PRoHIBITIoNIsT,
SOUNDS THE CALL OF THE
New CAMPAIGN.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL,l
90S Broadway. Oct. 16 {


908 Broadway, Oct. 16.
The movement in favor of Sunday clos
ing is Oh the verge of collapsing, and in It's
place there is growing feeling in favor of
local option. meeting of the council
for the suppression OF the saloon was held
last night, and Rev. DR.. Coyle sounded the
keynote of the new campaign.
Rev. William RAIDER, the chairman of
the committee. still clings to Sunday clos
ing, but as he leaves Oakland for San
Francisco this week his opinion does not
carry much weight. His successor Will be
chosen next Thursday night, and then the
council will take up the work for which
The evident collapse of the Sunday
it was organized in earnest
closing movement is partly due to the ar
guments advanced by the Seventh day
Adventists. that such legislation is in the
nature of the Sunday laws under whi ch
several of their faith are now serving
terms of Imprisonment in Maryland for
violating Sunday laws by working at their
trades. In connection with this organized
campaign the Adventists circulated thou
sands OF copies of a magazine that con-
tanned picture representing several of
their comrades in convict dress under the
CdIe VI all armed SuarU. Inc picture, over
which was printed the American flag, ap-
pealed so strongly to the sentiment of the
American Protective Association that pop
ular feeling underwent a partial change.
The Adyentists declared their willing
ness to assist in any effort made for the
suppression of the saloon, but protested
loudly against the observance of any par
tlcular day for forced closing. Another
obstacle was placed i'll the way of the ad-
vocates OF Sunday-closing by the refusal
OF the saloon keepers to circulate their pc
tltions against the proposed legislation
The Christian Endeavorers proposed to
| circulate their petitions in favor of Sun
day-closing, and to expect the City Coun-
Gil to be governed by the majority. This
plan has almost been given up and what
will be done in the future cannot be told
until after the next meeting of the Council
for the Suppression of the Saloon.
The attitude of Dr. Coyle in advocating
local option in preference to Sunday clos
ing possesses another significance. The
Christian Enoearorers are the advocates
OF Sunday closing, and DR.. Coyle's church
has recently withdrawn from the county
Endeavor body. 1t is expected that his
society will remain with him and 60 in for
local option.
With the support of the Adventists and
the church going element almost anything
can be carried at the polls in Oakland.
As DIR. Coyle is an ardent and fearless
prohlbltionist he could lead a red-hot cam
palgn in favor of local option.
