Gov. Atkinson's action in refusing TO
pardon Lord Beresford' will meet with
the approval of the people of the state. At
the same time, there will probably be some
who will criticise him for refusing a par
don to an ordinary swindler, and on the
same day granting pardon to a convict
who was serving a sentence for killing
two people.

LATE ALAMEDA NEWS.
Happenings of a Day in the
City Across the
Bay.
Legality of Street-Work Specifica-
tionS Soon to Be Tested
In Court.

The legality of the specifications under
which street work has been performed in
this city will be tested in suit pending
in the Superior Court of this county, and
if the point raised is upheld much confu-
sion and litigation viii result. The case is
that of the California Improvement Com
pany against Emily NJ. Reynolds and
others. The street in front of Mrs. Rev-
nolds' property on Alameda avenue and
Willow street was improved by the COM
pany under the usual proceedings, but the
bill of $183 So for the work remains un-
paid, and it is her dispute of it that the
question is raised. The attack is on the
clause of the specifications which require
that the planks forming part of the curb
must be spiked with 3x4-inch redwood
posts, 21I feet long and not more than ten
feet apart.

turn them. He also operated extensively
in South Berkeley, and was on Sunday
identified by Detectives Shorey and Hol-
land. In the Pointer case Raymond en-
tered the kitchen where the tools had been
stored, and the burglary charge is for
having entered the house for the purpose
of theft.

A continuance was granted until next
Monday by Judge Frick yesterday on the

NEW ROAD TO L|vERMORE
Franchise Granted for an
Electric Line to the Coal
Mines.
Rights of Way Have Been Secured
and Work VIII Begin at
Once.

The anxiety of capitalists to build an
electric road from Oakland to the Corral
Hollow coal-mining region kept the Board
of Supervisors to late hour last evening.
The original application was made by E.
R. Vandercook, and yesterday was set as
the time for opening bids and awarding
the franchise. To eyerybody's surprise an
opposition bid was received. 1t was signed
by A. D. Thomson of Oakland.
Mr.. Vandercook's bid offered to pay the
county $25 cash and also TO put in and
operate a ten-horsepower engine at the
County Infrmary for the purpose OF heat
ing and lighting that institution. 1t also
bound the company to place and maintain
at twenty points along the route, to be
designated by the Supervisors, electric
clusters OF five lights each and to pay, after
the road had been in operation five years,
one-fourth of per cent of the gross receipts
into the county treasury.
After long executive session Supervisor
Church said that the Vandercook bid
appeared TO be the highest, as it offered
several tangible concessions which would
naturally reduce the cost of the repairs of
the County Almshouse.
A. D. Thomson addressed the board,
and said that he would bid higher than
Mr.. Vandercook by keeping to his bid OF
2 per cent of the gross receipts and adding
the other offers made by Mr.. Vandercook.
Mr.. Thomson then read from lawbook
to show that he had right to increase his
bid after it was opened by the board. AS
sistant District Attorney Melvin did not so
construe the law and advised the board
that the statute did not contemplate an
auction sale, but said clearly that the bid
must be read. They could not be read
unless they were formally handed in.
THE statute does not contemplate the
spectacle of franchise bidders coming into
the boardroom and going each other one
better indefinitely" said Mr.. Melvin.
a resolution was finally passed awarding
the franchise to Mr.. Vandercook. AS the
East Oakland system, with which the new
road is to connect, already reaches to
Fruitvale, that part of the route is now
ready for use. All the rights of way have
been secured and the work will be COM
menced at once. The people of Livermore
are very enthusiastic over the project and
the road is already assured ample backing.

LIVED TN A KoVEL.
Oscar Herman's Miserable Abode on
the Mission Road.

Oscar Herman's Miserable Abode on
the Mission Road.
The arrest of Oscar Herman on charge
of failure to provide has called to the at
tention of the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Children one of the worst
cases that has yet come under its notice.
Herman was found in miserable hovel
on the Mission road, in which he has lived
for some time with 12-year-old son.
The policeman who took him into Gus
tody says that the shanty contained no
furniture or bedding and that the occu-
pants must have slept on the floor. No
food was found about the place, and the
boy looked as though he had been without
proper sustenance for some time.
The mother, Mrs. Bertha Herman, sep
Grated from her husband some time ago,
when the latter retired to the hovel with
two sons and refused to let any one care
for them. Recently the mother went to
the place and during the fathers absence
took one of the boys away and placed him
in charge of the Boys and Girls Aid
Society.
He was without underclothing and the
threadbare coat that he wore but lily pro-
tected him from the winds. The other boy
ran away when he saw the policeman COM
ing to arrest his father and has not been
seen since.

ALLL|KE CONDENSED NEWS
"The Calls" Method of Re-
porting the Durrant Case
Approved.
\ PAPER FOR BUSY MEN.
District Attorney Barnes Says That
the Reader Wants Unvarnished
Facts.

THE CALLS method of reporting the Dur
rant trial is attracting a great deal of ia
vorable comment.
District Attorney Barnes said on the
subject:
It is an excellent idea. The average man has
no time for long-drawn reports He wants his
news in the briefest possible space. and further
more he wants facts, from which he may draw
his own conclusions. He would just as soon
have these facts without 2 gaudy dress of
rhetoric 1 fail to see how the average busi-
ness man hurrying to and from his business
would be able to read this case at all without
some such method as that now being pursued
by THE CALL.
Major Hooper, manager Occidental Ho-
tel, said:
''The Durrant Case in Minute" has made a
decided hit. l hear great deal OF talk about
THE CALLS method of handling this case,
which is being praised on all sides. 1t is just
what people want. Who has time for g. page Of
this stuff 4? l have not. The paper that will
put it all in few hundred words Is the paper
that l shall read, and this is why take The
CALL.
w. H. Mccormick, proprietor McCor-
mick Marble Works, said:
But for THE CALLS idea in condensing this
matter l should not attempt to read the case,
though in common with others | am very
much interested in the issue. l simply nave
not the time 10 read through tne OIHeE IepoIts
as published. know at least hundred men
who are reading The CALLS account exclu-
sively, because it is condensed. One OF my
neighbors said to me yesterday: "MeCormlck,
l have given up reading the Durrant trial. 1t
has grown too big for me. have not an hour
each day to devote to it, and so | leave 1t
alone entirely" l told him that he could get
the whole thing in THE CALL while he was
waiting for his wife to pour out the coffee at
breakfast He asked how and l explained.
That same afternoon he subscribed for The
CALL
D. w. Hitchcock, general agent Union
Pacific Railway, said:
The idea is an excellent one. 1t is just the
thing for the busy man, and we are all busy
these DAYS. The man of affairs has little time
to devote to sensational murder trials. AT the
same time suppose almost everybody is read
ing the case. The CALLS method is to be
highly commended. 1t will certainly be in
favor with the busy business and professional
man.
Mayor Sutro said:
Just the thing for the busy man. Great idea.
Without it half the people could not read this
trial. Who has time for page of matter?
haven't. Have you? Read THE CALL and get
Auditor Broderick said:
An excellent method. 1t fills a long-felt
want How else could people get the news on
this case? The busy man wants his news con-
densed.
Colonel W. r. Smedberg said:
A splendid idea. THE CALL is, in my opinion,
the best paper in San Francisco.

ROWDVSM ON THE BOATS,
Ferry Commuters Who Are
Alarmed at Sunday Night
Occurrences.
Free Fights and Assaults on Pass
engers Prompt a Vigorous
Protest.

Commuters who patronize the ferry
boats on their late night trips are prepar-
ing a protest to the Southern Pacific Com
pany on account of the disgraceful con-
duct of the crowds of hoodlums, male and
female. who make practice of returning
to Oakland by the last boats on both the
narrow and broad gauge routes on Satur-
day and Sunday nights.
These rough characters make the night
hideous with their yells and foul language,
and so bad has the nuisance become of
late that passengers whose business COM
pels them to use the boats have deter
mined to ask for protection.
The disgraceful acts which took place on
the 1915 broad-gauge boat on Sunday
night last determined the commuters to
act. The waitingroom on this side in
which the passengers are compelled to wait
for some time before the boat starts was
crowded with roughs in greater or less
state of intoxication, whose profane and
obscene language assailed the ears of a
number of ladies who were awaiting the
sailing of the ferry-boat.
Just before the boat started two young
girls, who were either unable or unwilling
to walk, were carried into the waiting
room by their male friends and deposited
on benches, where they proceeded to add
their maudlin yells to the general con-
fusion. On board the ferry the din was
continued and heightened by the curses of
a number of roughs, who got into fight
over the question of payment for liquor.
The climax was reached when the pas
sengers congregated on the forward deck
preparatory to going ashore. A mum Der
of Chinese were abused, and when an in
telligent-looking Japanese interfered and
asked that they be let alone he was as
saulted. He returned the blows and the
entire forward deck at once became the
scene of a melee.
Yells of 'Kill him!' Throw him over
board!" came from the struggling mass
that filled the deck, and one lady tainted
from fright for fear that some one would
be killed.
The deckhands who were attending to
the landing of the boat made no effort to
stop the melee, which was ended by the
landing of the ferry only to be renewed on
the way to the train.
The Japanese was terribly battered up
before he was finally escorted on board the
train by a couple of gatemen. This occur
renee led to the determination to demand
protection from the company, and an at
torney is now drawing up the document.
In it the company will be given a few
legal pointers touching its liability for ac-
cidents to passengers who travel by its
boats by reason of carelessness or other
causes which might be avoided.
t. z. Robinson, who was among those
who witnessed the free fight on the for
ward deck, states that such scenes occur
nearly every Sunday night, and that many
people have ceased to travel by the late
boats for fear of being injured.
