to its stocks by passing into Oakland bona
hde, and thence to navigable water at any
reasonable place on the four or five miles
frontage west of Oakland, or the three
miles frontage south of Oakland proper at
the harbor. This is what would be most
beneficial also to the city and to the rail
road company.
These ideas are what called for the Oak
land clause to the general subscription
contract. Noting it carefully you wifi see
1t covers all these points, at the same time
permitting the railroad company to pass
thence to navigable water in either direc-
ton, west or south. That provision is:
The subjoined subscriptions are made
upon the express consition that said rail
road company shall, before collecting upon
this subscription list and within six months
from the date hereof, agree that within two
years from the date hereof it will construct
and operate and thereafter maintain the
western terminus of traffic of its main
through line within the city of Oakland
above the line of ordinary high tide, south
OF the original northern charter line of said
city, west or the old embarcadero of San
Antonio, and extending thence to naviga
bic waters, otherwise these subscriptions
to be null and void. All that this requires
the company to do is to reach the real
oakland and pass thence at their pleasure
west or south to navigable waters.
This provision does not require the COM
pany to do any more within the six
months than to agree to comply with this
provision; then they have eighteen months
more IN which to actually build and con-
struct. At any time after the said six
months they can collect our subscriptions
to AID IN the construction to be made
during the next eighteen months, but the
subscriber knows when he pays that the
road is coming to Oakland in the sense in
which he subscribes. You will observe
the northern limit is the old charter line,
and a railroad which does not come that
lar south, coming that way, can hardly be
SAID to have come to Oakland, which will
nave subscribed the money. The old
charter line is Twentv-second street. and
Its northwesterly projection crossing the
west oakland marsh six blocks north of
the Slxteenth-street depot. After much
dehneratlon and consideration the COM
mlttee unanimously concluded that these
INES are required to make the project
amount to an Oakland terminus -

portant part of the city's cosmopolitan
people.
Almost every shore of that great middle
ocean rolling between Europe and Africa
is represented among the men who hang
their nets in these waters. The Greek,
the Turk, the son of Italy, the native from
the Barbary States, the Syrian, are in the
fotilla that follows the tide changes night
and day, year in and out, from bay to
ocean.
No vocation is so fraught with never
absent danger to life, and no livelihood is
so precarious as that of the fisher.
The harvest of the sea is variable and
the sea itself menaces always the harvester
cleaning amid the waves, and the fleets
that lie in eternal anchorage far down in
the sunless deeps grow larger as the tire
less tidewaves ebb and flow
But notwithstanding that disaster ever
grips the fisherman's keel, the boats with
russell lateen sails a-spread slip always in
and out through the harbor gates
'Tho' the wave-beat bar be groaning."

LEGISLATION TOR VETERANS.
Assemblyman Waymire's Bill Endorsed
by the Soldiers of the Mexican

The Measure Provides That Any City
May Lease Them a Lot or Build
ing at Nominal Rates.

Assemblyman Waymire has bill before
the Legislature, the course of which will
be watched with the keenest interest by
the veterans who met last night to discuss
the measure. The delegates from several
organizations were present. They elected
Colonel w. c.. Burnett chairman and
Colonel J. J. Lyon secretary. The follow

The object of the meeting was an
nounced to be to indorse and urge upon
the Legislature the passage of Assembly
bill $40, introduced by Judge J. A Way
mire, which authorizes the municipal
authorities of cities and towns in the State
to lease lot or a public building or a part
thereof for period not exceeding twenty
years, at a nominal rental, to organizations
of war veterans of the United States who
are associated for patriotic, fraternal and
benevolent objects.
The bill was modelled upon a law of
similar import existing in New York and
other Eastern States. Its effect here would
be to enable the Associated Veterans of the
Mexican War and posts of the G. A. r. to
secure by proper authority sites or parts of
public buildings to be used for hal pur-
poses, thus saving 10 those veteran orders
the moneys now expended for rents, which
could be applied to the relief of needy
comrades, their widows and orphans
1t is proposed in case the bill passes to
obtain lease here of some suitable loca-
ton and to erect thereon hall for the use
OF all the veteran organizations or to effect
some arrangements by which the same
object may be accomplished.
The bill was reported to the meeting as
having received the hearty approval of the
Poois anu MeAican veterans mere as well
as those throughout the State The fol-
lowing, were appointed members of the
executive committee to take such action as
may be deemed necessary to aid in the
passage of the bill: Colonel J. ]. Lyon,

O0UNTERFEITER DEAN.
Held in $4,000 Bail by the United
States Commissioners.


States Commissioner.
Counterfeiter Dean was held in $4,000
bail by Commissioner Heacock yesterday.
The case against him is strong, and the
prosecution feels certain of a conviction.
He was identified by w. F. Shattuck, type
founder of 400 Washington street, as the
man who bought the press at his place last
December.
Henry w. Burmester tea-dealer at
Seventh and jessie streets, on whom Dean
attempted to pass one of his counterfeit
bills, gave important testimony. When
Dean saw that he was detected he hurriedly
left the place, and in scaling a fence on
Jessie street tore his coat. The coat was
afterward found by the officers in Dean s
house in Oakland, and piece of cloth torn
from it was found on the fence.
j. K. Jones of Kasts' shoestore identified
Dean as the man who gave him a counter
felt bill for pair of shoes, and Chief Shat
fer of Oakland testified as to the arrest of
Dean and his wife and the finding of the
press and $500 in counterfeit money at their
residence, 1101 Twenty-third street, Oak
land

Fourth, was arrested in San Jose yester-
day by Policeman Graham on a warrant
sworn out in Judge Joachimsen's court.
Graham brought him to the City Prison
last night.
The complaining witness is Ella Martin,
II years of age, living with her parents at
212 Clara street. She charges Webster
with attempting to criminally assault her.
The girl made confession to the police in
which she charged Webster with criminally
assaulting several girls whose ages range
from II to Is years. She gave the names,
ages and residences of the girls. The
police are investigating the charges.
Webster, who is a supplemented sort of
fellow, denies the truth of the girls
charges and says she is actuated by spite
because he refused to paint picture of her
kitten and her little brother.

Are there any provisions in the Oakland
SUBSCRIPTION beyond those in the San Fran
cisco subscription contract?"
, mere has to be one, covering the IDEA
that the railroad shall reach Oakland, from

tloh contract is precisely the same. In

tants, and especially the subscribers, look
upon that expression.
Then, again, railroad might come to
oakland, cut across the southeastern cor
ner, next to Alameda, cross Park avenue
and land in the bay at Alameda point, ana
II a subscription paper said the subscrip-
tons were payable when the road reached
oakland, or came to Oakland, it would be
payable though the road actually termi-
mated at Alameda point, and thence into
the bay far south of the Oakland harbor,
and miles southwest of it. This would not
be coming to Oakland in the sense that we
mean, and for which Oaklands property
interests intend to subscribe.

SHOT IN THE SIDE.
Result of a Partnership Dispute Among
BARRIERS.


BARRIERS.
Domenico Sturniolo, 1917 Stockton street,
swore out warrant in Judge Lows court
yesterday morning for the arrest of Gaetano
Sciacca, alias Crida, on the charge of
assault to commit murder.
The trouble arose out of partnership
dispute regarding barber-shop at 1917
Stockton street. There were three part
ners in the concern, one of them being
Sciaccas wife. She retired from the part
nership and Sciacca went to the shop on
Friday to get her share of the stock.
Among other things Sciacca wanted a per
fume sprayer, which was affixed to the
wall. Sturniolo declined to let him have
it and Sciacca left muttering vengeance.
When Sturniolo was passing Powell and
Hilbert streets that evening, on his way to
dinner 'Sciacca called TO him, and as he
turned round Sciacca fired shot at him
from revolver and fled. The bullet
struck Sturniolo on the left side. 1t went
through his overcoat, sack coat and under
clothing and made an abrased wound on
his side, which made him jump with pain
and fright.

CONSOLIDATING THE PRISONS.
The Southern Members of the Legis-
lature Will Aid the Measure.

Senators Mahoney, Dunn and McA lister
and Assemblymen Laird Mccarthy ,Pendle-
ton, Dewitt and Dodge, members of the
Legislative Committees on State Prisons
and Retormatory Institutions, visited San
Quentin yesterday, inspected the prison
and were properly wined and dined bv
Warden and Mrs. Hale. They found the
buildings in good condition, though some
what dingy from economy in the use of
whitewash, and took occasion to highly
compliment the Warden upon his efficient
administration.
The prison wharf is in bad condition.
1t was constructed originally of earth and
rock heaped upon the mud, and its weight
now presses out the lower strata, causing
continual shoaling of the water alongside.
The committee promised to recommend an
appropriation of $4,000 to build pile and
plank landing stage, extending further out
into the bay.
Though the legislators visit was osten-
sibly the usual iunketing tour of inspection
their examination was more than usually
exhaustive, because from them is expected
a report on the ACCESSIBILITY of CONSOLIDATE
ing both the State prisons at Folsom
The San Francisco members of the COM
mittee will oppose consolidation. Senator
McAllister, in whose district San Quentin
~ lOCdbeu, Was III IdNOT OF The pfOpOS1tlOn
before his visit yesterday, but has some
what modified his views. He Will now adj
wise making Folsom the main prison and
decreasing gradually the number of pris-
oners at San Quentin, with view to ulti-
mate consolidation.
The members from the southern part of
the State will favor immediate consolida-
. ton and the sale of the State property at
San Quentin. Assemblyman Pendleton,
the only representative of Southern Cali
fornia on the committee, absolutely de-
clined to state his views. Senator Meal
lister was more communicative.
1T is commonly known in Sacramento, -
he said, "that members of the Legislature
from the southern part of the State favor
the immediate consolidation of the prisons
and the sale OF the San Quentin property
Their idea is that such step will open the
way for establishing State penal insti-
tuition in. their section. This of course is
the case, and personally 1 think it is good
idea. 1t will save the southern counties
much expense in the way of transporta-
ton of criminals. As it is they have
long haul of over 400 miles to land their
criminals, and the burden is a heavy one
for the taxpayers. They have right, in
my opinion, to State prison in that sec
ton.

for penitentiary anyway. 1t is too close
to San Francisco, and is, in fact, right in

WHAT OAKLAND WANTS.
THAT SHE WON'T BE OVERLOOKED
BY THE SURVEYORS OF THE
NEW ROAD.
ACTIVITY AND ENTHUSIASM ARE
RIFE-THE SUBSCRIPTION
CONTRACT.

An interview was had with Attorney
William r. Davis last night in regard to
what was done at the meeting of the COM
resent Oakland in the San Joaquin Valley
railroad matter, held yesterday. On being
asked what progress the committee was
making, he said:
1--WE had a session to-day from o'clock
to half-past handling details. The gen.
eral plan is already formulated and agreed
on. To-day we added another member to
the original committee, Charles A. Nord-
hansen, representative of the Board of
Trade, and invited him also to participate
in the meeting, which he did. You will
see that the committee now consists of the
original committee named by the Mayor
and representative each Of the Merchants
Exchange and Board of Trade.
"Will that be the extent of the commit
tee?''
BY no means. The urgency and impor-
lance of the work in hand compel us to sit
daily and we shall also increase the COM
mlttee further, making it thoroughly rep
resentatlve and efficient, so that all classes
shall have an actual hand in the work
which so much concerns us ALL"
Have you got to the names of subscrib-
ers yet?'
Yes, and very promising ones, too.
Beyond what we positively know already,
we have on a special list over hundred
names which the original committee will
personally see to next Monday. Beyond
that we have arranged about 800 names of
eligible subscribers, including the mercan-
tile class. We are paying the compliment
to the Merchants Exchange and Board of
Trade of leaving that class largely to the
solicitations and credit of their own organ
ization. They will thus join the general
movement at the same time having the
pleasure of moving in their accustomed
channels. Ourselves and the new members

ABANKER THEY BANQUETED
Neat Little Dinner in Honor of Presi-
dent Fugazi of the Columbus
Savings Bank.
All Un1ucky Omens Made to Look Silly
by the Story of It's Remarkable
Success.

The Columbus Savings Bank was started
in year of panics and financial disaster
Five days after the first subscription to the
stock was made the articles of incorpora-
ton were filed, and that was on Friday
The bank was opened on All Fools day
the LIST of April-and last evening thirteen
sat down to one of those celebrated
Italian dinners at the Commercial
Hotel in honor of the third successive
election of ]. ]. Fugazi as its president.
In his answer to the handsome testi-
monials paid to him and his management
of the bank by 1. w. Hellman and the
other speakers of the evening, Mr.. Fugazi
himself laughingly called attention to these
omens of evil so pointedly refuted in the
history of the bank.
l. w. Hellman, president of the Nevada
Bank, was the first speaker of the evening.
The Columbus Savings Bank, he said, had
been started when the whole financial
world was suffering a crisis-when only a
strong man would have dared the under
taking and when only a strong man would
have succeeded. The Columbus Savings
Bank-the savings bank of the Italian col
ony-was the only savings bank besides
the Hibernia where the man, woman or
child who had money there could at any
time since it was started get it upon call
Consul Grimaldi followed in a pleasant
little speech in the same line.
Mr. Fugazi told the story of how he had
secured in five days subscriptions to the
stock in the sum of $165,000, how only 20
per cent of that stock had been called for,
and how dividend had been declared on
that sum.
Secretary F. n. Belgrano next toasted
the guest OF the evening, telling how
through his management of the bank its
depositors had in three years accumulated
$4,000 in interest, while the stockholders
had been paid but $4,000 in dividends.
Mr.. Holman rose again to say pleas
ant word for Mr.. Fugazi's right hand man,
Vice-President Palmieri, and Mr.. Palmieri
returned the compliment.
1t was all very pleasant affair. The
speech making occurred in the middle of
the menu, the length of which gave signs
that sunrise might be on hand before
fadios" was reached.
Besides those mentioned the following
were at the dinner: G. Costa, A. Chichi
zola, f. Arata, T. Cuneo, George t. Ca
valli, G. Bacigalupi, r. Micheletti, G. Al
magia, f. N. Belgrano.
