BERKELEY MASS-MEETING
A Thorough Discussion of
the School Bond QueS-
ton Was Had.
Students Debate-A New Greek
Letter Fraternity Formed at
the University.

BERKELEY, CAL, Oct. 10.-A mass
meeting was held in South Berkeley last
night to discuss the question of bonding
the town for school buildings. President
Boone of the Board of Education delivered
an address favoring the construction of a
high school building, grammar school at
West Berkeley and one at Dwight way.
He advocated bonding the town for 500, 900.
Principal Waterman of the East Berkeley
schools spoke of the recent rapid increase
in the number of pupils in attendance at
the local schools, and urged the immedi-
ate importance of new schools. School Di-
rector Norton and Town Trustee Gage
favored bonds for s150,000. Trustee Cripps
gave it as his opinion that 500, 600 was
sufficient. Trustee Hoff stated that he
felt bound by his constituents of West
Berkeley to oppose a high school and to
vote against bonding the town for over
$75, 600. Trustee Martin said he would not
vote for any bonding proposition that did
not provide for high school. The mass
meeting finally adopted the following
resolution.
RESOLVED, That we have confidence in our
Board of Education and will vote for bonds in
any amount they ask for.
The Board of Education has already
asked for $10o 900 worth of bonds.
A New Fraternity.
A charter of Chi Psi has been granted
to mum ber of students of the University
of California. Chi Psi is one of the oldest
of the Greek letter societies, having been
organized in Union College in 1S41. The
charter members of the chapter of Chi Psi
about to be organized are: G. A. Cross,
Homer Parker, P. G. Mcdonnell, w. G..
Wood, D. n. Laubersheimer, ]. A. Bardin,
F. A. Bordwell, G. F. Craig, r. G. Laws,
w. w. Wells and R. W. Bender.
Studen Debate.
The first public debate of the Students
Congress for the present term was held
last night in Stiles Hall on the silver ques-
ton. Mott Hatch and Kelly spoke for
free coinage and Son, Symonds and Ell
ston for monometallism. The judges, Pro-
fessor JONES' DIR. Hengstler and MIR. Sut-
ton, decided in favor of the latter three,
but gave Messrs Mott, Hatch ana Kelly
credit for superior language and delivery.
Disturbing the Peace.
NJ. Fischel last night swore out war
rant charging Mrs. D. Fischel, his divorced
wife, with disturbing the peace. Fischel
claims that she encouraged their child to
throw stones and dirt at him and that she
answered his remonstrances with volley
of epithets.

Into the Supreme Court.

The Livermore Franchise Is Taken
Into the Supreme Court.
G. P. Vandercook is being considerably
hampered by Interpretations of the dis
gruntled bidders who were not awarded
the franchise for an electric road to Liver
more. The franchise was awarded Mr..
Vandercook, and after learning what Van
dercook's bid was two parties named Mac
donald and Thomson offered what they
considered little higher bid and then
demanded that the Supervisors award the
franchise to them.
The Supervisors we're advised that they
had no power to auction of franchises
after the bids were received and gave the
franchise to Vandercook. The case was
taken before Judge Ellsworth and he up
held the Supervisors. Now the case has
been taken into the Supreme Court and
several months will elapse before it is
reached. In the meantime Yandercook
cannot commence to build, and what
promised lot of work during the winter
will be DELAYED till next spring.
Mr.. Vandercook said to-day that the ap-
that Macdonald and Thomson were not
railroad men and were working for other
parties, and that the natural uncertainty
that would exist pending an appeal would
prove very annoying. Meanwhile the
Nandercook Company, which already
owns a road from Broadway, Oakland, to
FrUitYale, is continuing to secure rights Of
Wav and to complete its SURVEYS.

new system OF employing motormen
and conductors on the most extensive cleo
trio road system in Alameda County went
into effect to-day. The large number of
accidents, the numerous verdicts returned
by Coroners' juries censuring the railroad
companies, and the growing tendency of
courts to award heavy damages to mutt
lated victims, have made it imperative that
the many electric road companies do all in
their power to protect themselves. Here
after any one who wants to be employed
on the Oakland Consolidated lines will
have to serve few weeks apprenticeship
before taking stiff examination to admit
him to the company's service.
The examination paper handed to mo-
tormen contains thirty-seven questions.
Some of the questions are easily an
swered, but the following queries indicate
the general nature of the written examina-
ton:
If a person should get in front of your car
and you could not brake your car in time to
save said person, what is the first thing you
If you should hear an explosion on your car
what would you look for first?
Suppose there was an obstruction on the
track so you could not proceed, what would
you do with your car and passengers?
suppose in ascending grade your wheels
slipped, what would you do?
Suppose your brake should get out OF order
from any cause, how would you stop your car
Suppose you find your moters "bucking,'
what would you do first?
The twenty fifth query is indeed a CO.
nundrum to the average passenger and
suggests new use for leading article of
ladies toilet.
Suppose you had used your last fuse and
there should happen to be no lady on board to
give you the traditional hairpin, what would
you do in that case?
The examination papers for conductors
contain twenty-six questions and are much
more general. Among these queries are
the following:
Suppose a passenger gets on your car with
several small children and you are uncertain
about their ages, what should you do?
suppose passenger got on your car with a
transfer after the time punched in the margin
had expired, what would you do?
Suppose you had a collision or person got
hurt getting on or off your car or got struck by
your car, what would you do?
Suppose that through mistake you had col
lected fare from one person twice, what
would you do on having your attention called
to it,
Suppose passenger should break pane of
glass in your car, what would you do about it?
In running main line car, how far do you
carry passenger for one fare?
II passenger should give you $50 piece
for fare and you could not change it, what
would you dor

HELP FOR ERRING GIRLS.
Parlor Meeting by the Board of Man
ayers of the Girls Training
Home.

The board of managers of the California
Girls Training Home held a parlor meet
ing at 2524 Cough street, where they were
entertained by Mrs. w. J. Stringer, yes
terday.
Miss L. II. Baker, the retiring matron of
the home, gave an interesting address on
the work and needs of the institution.
She will leave Monday for the East, where
she will fill numerous engagements in the
presentation of pleas for work and workers
among the sluns. Her home for the pres
ent will be Atlantic Highlands, N J.
She will be accompanied on her home
ward journey by Miss Mayme Holcombe,
the assistant matron Of the Girls Home.
who will continue to take an active inter-
est in reform work among women in
Louisville, KY, and elsewhere.
Mrs. r. l.. w. Davis, the presiding Off
Ger. spoke of the necessity Tor individual
work on the part of the friends of the
home, and Mrs. Mason, the treasurer, said
the treasury must be replenished or the
home would have to be closed. The alb
sence of many of the liberal friends of the
home from the City during the summer
had crippled it's finances. The need of a
larger home was emphasized by all the
speakers.
A lady who is interested in the institu-
ton will give her services in its manage
ment until a successor for Miss Baker is
secured

CORNER IN STAMPS.
The One Dollar Label on Unwater-
marked Paper Said to Be
Worth &k

From information obtained at the Post
Office in this City it would appear that
there is some one in the East operating to
secure corner in the 81 stamps that were
issued to supersede the Columbian stamps
All the stamps of the United States up
to quite recently have been printed on
plain paper, but owing to the discovery of
wholesale forgeries of 2-cent stamps in
Canada the Postoffice Department. in or
der to throw an additional safeguard
around the manufacturing of stamps. or
dered that all printing sh ould be on water
marked paper. At the time this order
went forth but comparatively few of the 81
stamps had been printed on the unwater-
marked paper, and 1t now appears that
st. Louis firm of stamp-dealers at once set
to work to secure all it could of these
stamps. Their purchases soon resulted in
a dearth of this denomination and a new
lot had to be ordered .from the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing at Washington.
This supply is on the watermarked paper.
and in consequence those that were issued
on the plain paper are bound to be worth
considerable premium.
Only 1000 OF the 81 unwatermarked
stamps were received in this City, and of
these 1900 were secured by the st. Louis
spectators. They first sent telegram to
the Postmaster asking him to reserve this
quantity and then forwarded the remit
tance for them. This purchase nearly de-
pleted the local Office of this value, as it
left but 300 on hand. A new supply was
at once ordered, but they were on water
marked paper, and the 800 of the rarer
character were soon sold for regular use.
Ever since it leaked out among the local
stamp-colectors that corner was being
made in these stamps there have been nu-
merous inquiries made for the 81 stamp,

Webster-Street Draw Not Un-
der Control of the War
Department.
LIvERMoRE ROAD BLOCKED.
The Times to Be Sold To-Day to
Satisfy Judgments Held
by Reporters,
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, /
sos Broadway, October 10.

A conflict of opinion has arisen regard
ing the right to control the Webster-street
bridge. Some months ago Mayor Davie
wrote TO Secretary Lamont asking that
something be done to remedy the present
state of affairs on the estuary. He set
forth that the bridges were worm-eaten
and in danger of collapsing, and that one
good iron bridge would be of more service
than the two at present being used. The
Southern Pacific Railroad Company has
some rights over the Webster-street bridge
that will not expire for many years, so it
was proposed that the railroad, the Gov
ernment and the county come together
and arrange a plan that would be mutu-
ally agreeable both as to design and to cost.
Some weeks ago the whole matter was
referred to the District Attorney, and to-
day he rendered a long opinion to the
effect that the Webster-street bridge is
solely under the control of the county. A
great deal of verbiage is attached to the
opinion, but the following paragraph clear.
" expresses the view held by the District
Attorney:
Itis apparent from the reading of the trans
cript, hereto attached, that the Websterstreet
bridge was constructed under statute which
provided that certain commissioners be ap-
pointed by the city of Oakland and the town.
ship OF Alameda Tor said purpose, and that
subsequently thereto, as will be perceived by
e reference TO said transcript, the Legislature
in 1877 passed an act placing the bridge under
the control of the Board of Supervisors of the
county OF Alameda. That thereafter, by pro-
ceedings duly had, right of way was given to
the South Pacific Coast Railroad Company to use
said bridge for the purpose of running trains
across the same, under the conditions that it
would repair the bridge and increase the size
OF the draw. The report of your committee
evidences the fact that the said draw of said
bridge was changed, and the bridge construct
ed in accordance with the agreement made
with the South Pacific Coast Railroad Gem
pany, and has ever since been used by said
railroad for the purpose OF carrying on its
traffic in the city OF Oakland.
The Webster-street bridge was constructed by
authority OF the State Legislature. The
statute authorizing the construction was q
proper exercise of authority on the part of the
State. There has been no statute passed by
the United States Congress which affects or ap-
pertains TO the government, by Congress, of the
naVlgable waters known as the estuary OF San
Antonio, and until some act is passed by Con-
greSs affecting the subjeet-matter the War De-
partment viii have no control over said bridge,
unless the draw of such bridge is such that ii
cannot accommodate vessels navigating the
estuary. Any changes that are to be
made in said bridge must be made with the
consent of the Board of Supervisors, and then
only made in the construction OF the bridge
where it now stands.
The San Francisco call., 1895-10-11
yesterday. The action was formulated in
the following shape:

the following shape:
That George W. Elder be appointed on behalf
of the Street Committee as the expert OF said
committee to inspect and report on the pave
ment of roadways and their construction, also
as to the construction of sewers and cesspools,
to serve without compensation.
Elder heads the list of special men en-
ployed by Supervisor Spreekels chairman
of the Street Committee, to check the
frauds on street work, so he is fully paid
for his services.
The appointment was made because of
the frauds discovered lately in street work
The Grand Jury is investigating them.
The Guerrero-street and Twelfth-street
jobs, both discovered by Elder were
strongly condemned by the Supervisors on
investigation. The Indications are that
the Grand Jury does not intend to let
them drop, and that the culprits will
eventually be punished for the attempts to
swindle the City. In both cases Street
Superintendent Ashworth's men made no
complaint, and passed the jobs as salts
factory. The contractors undoubtedly
would have been paid for the rotten work
but for the protest of Expert Elder. He
will have nearly as much say hereafter as
the Street Superintendent about the ac-
ceptance of street work.
