ANOTHER ELOPEMENT.

This Time a Schoolgirl Disappears With
Butcher.
OAKLAND, CAL, Dec. 9.-Minnie Men
nomenn, 14-year-old girl, has been miss
ing from her home, 633 Grove street, for
thirteen days, and it is thought that she
has eloped with Bert Noy, a young butcher
of Alameda.
A week ago last Saturday she left home,
as her parents supposed, to go to work for
q family on Myrtle street. She was not
missed until the following Friday when
she failed to cone home sccording to
custom, It was then ascertained that she
had not been working at all, but had run
away.
For some time the girl has been keeping
company with young Noy, whose father
keeps butcher-shop at Bay station in
Alameda but the young man denies that
he has married her or that he knows any
thing of her whereabouts. Two years ago
the sister of the missing girl was the
heroine of tugboat marriage outside the
heads.
The girls father is a carpenter, and is
respected by all who know him. Both of
his daughters are girls of good appearance,
and have had many admirers, but owing
to the tender age of their daughter the
parents are heart-broken. Every effort is
being made to find the missing girl.

a GIRL FATALLY BURNED.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,

sos Broadway, Dec. 81. J
The murder of Medosa H. Reach by
William Stanton at Vallejo has created
much interest in this county, where the
family is well known
The STATIONS own the big Stanton ranch
near Haywards and have resided there q
long time. The family consists of two
sons and two daughters and the widow.
All but William live at home, but he has
been leading a varied life for several years.
William Stanton was married some time
ago and after a short welded life there was
trouble between him and his wife and it
ended in their being divorced. When the
time came for William to start in business
his mother started a grocery-store, but the
firm OF Lee & Stanton hourished in Hay
wards only short time. After the bust
ness was discontinued William Stanton
joined the navy and received regular re-
mittance from the ranch. Everything
seemed to be going along smoothly till the
news of the murder and attic npted suicide
at Vallejo. His friends here knew of his
attachment for the dead girl and were ex-
pecting to hear of the wedding when they
received the report of the tragedy.

Football Men to Meet.
BERKELEY, CAL. Dec. 9.-The Var
sity football team will meet on Wednes-
day afternoon to decide whether they will
undertake the much-talked-of trip to
Southern California during the Christmas
vacation. The prime difficulty which
Manager Lang seems to have met is that
of finances He expects. however, to be
able to give a definite statement at the
meeting on Wednesday with regard to
Just what teams the Berkeley men will
meet and the approximate receipts of each
contest.
Hope is expressed that game will be
arranged between the q. C. and Olympic
teams to be played at Los Angeles. The
players themselves are much in favor of
the southern tour, since they will have
both pleasant outing and also an oppor-
tunity to become acquainted with the
methods of other teams.
University Examinations.
BERKELEY, CAL, Dec. 9.-The regu-
lar midyear examinations in the depart
ments OF the University of California at
Berkeley will begin next Friday morning

Shocks From the Heavy Guns.
BERKELEY. CAL, Dec. 9.-The testing
of the 12-inch guns at the Preside Reser-

town and university so severely that many
persons thought that an explosion had

works.

THREE DOLLARS A NAME,
What 1t Will Cost Alameda
County for Votes Next
November.
The Whole County Is to Be Re.Dis.
tricted-Many Precincts Will
Be Halved.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL,

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL,
908 Broadway, Dec. 8. (
The first step toward the compilation of
a new Great Register was taken by the SUI
pervisors to-day with the appointment of
a committee to arrange preliminaries.
The committee consists of Supervisors
Pelouez and Church, County Clerk Jordan,
District Attorney Shook and the County
Surveyor.
The most important part of the work of
the committee will be to redistrlct many
parts of the county. There are many pre-
cincts that contain more voters than the
law allows, and in a few instances some
precincts will be made into three. AT the
last election there was one precinct at
FTuitvale in which over 800 votes We're
cast. This precinct required three days
longer to count than the others and de-
layed the returns that time. In Alameda
there are several precincts with from four
to five hundred voters and in Berkeley one
precinct polled over 700 votes.
AS the tickets are such large ones sew
eral days are required for the count. The
law distinctly states that no more than
200 voters shall reside in one precinct, and
as there will be about % 900 names on the
new Great Register there will be about
125 precincts in the county.
One of the greatest troubles anticipated
for the deputy clerks of registration will
be caused by the educational requirements.
Between this time and the next general
election there will be hundreds of aliens
naturalized, and County Clerk Jordan has
discovered that many voters newly nat
uralized cannot sign their names or read.
Under no circumstances will he register
such, and it is anticipated that there will
be frequent applications for writs of man
damus. The law, however, is very plain,
and all deputies will be instructed to see
that it is obeyed to the letter.
The new law requires that registration
election, and must continue for seventy
five days. After that transfers can be
made. but twenty-six days before the cleo
ton the copy must be sent to the printer.
1t is calculated that the cost of getting
out q Great Register and holding a general
election in Alameda County next Novem-
Der will cost about SIS, 600, or So per head
for every name on the Great Register.
The registration will require that force
of about fifteen clerks be scattered all over
the county and be kept in service for sew
enty-five days and in many places for the
tine allowed for transfers. County Clerk
Jordan has n plan of registration that will
make all efforts at stutfing very plain.
All lod lying houses and hotels will be kept
apart, so that if forty men register at
house with but ten rooms the fraud will
be at once apparent. Applications to be
appointed as deputy clerks are already
being handed to the Supervisors and
County Clerk, but none will be appointed
till the redistricting business is completed.
