LATEST BERKELEY ITEMS,
Protests Against Awarding the
School Boards Contract
for Supplies.
Casey Charged With Stealing Wood.
A Bicycle Accident-The
Water Mains.

The Board OF Education held meeting
On Monday evening, but before they had
proceeded far several protests against
their method of awarding the contract for
school supplies for the coming year con-
fronted them. ]. L. Scotchler and e. P.
Bancroft, representing supply houses, OBJ
iected to the proposed action of the board
on the ground that the published notice to
contractors did not state that it was the
intention of the board to award the con-
tract for one year, or for any specified
term; that the notice merely called for
proposals to furnish a specified number
and specified descriptions of furniture.
The distribution of supplies was made to
the lowest bidder on certain goods, while
others who bid lower on a specified num-
Der were awarded that portion of the con-
tract.
After lengthy discussion the matter was
referred back to the Committee on Sup
plies, with power. A special meeting of
the board has been called for this evening
to consider the assignment of teachers.
A Suspicious Character.
A stoutly built man, giving the name of
Henzey and purporting to be an employe
of Mickkelsen & Berry, the Center-street
tailors, has been going the rounds among
and securing as many meals as possible
without paying for them.
On Monday evening he applied for board
and room at house on Dana street, and
finding that he could not secure the room,
asked If he could take his meals there, say
ing that he had just gone to work for the
tailoring firm mentioned and would like
mice, quiet boarding place" The land
lady gave him his dinner, and becoming
suspicious of his actions, made inquiry
as to whether he had been employed by
the tailors, but found that no such man
every had any dealings with them.
Yeste rday morning at about 8 o'clock a
man answering the same description of
"Henzey" was seen prowling about the
yard of fraternity house on Charming
way, but was driven off by dog before ac-
complishing any theft beyond carrying off
a monkey ey-wrench.
Helped Himself to Wood.
John Casey, a resident of University
upon complaint OF Contractor Riner, for
appropriating timber taken from the
Oxford street wooden culvert, which is now
being replaced with concrete. Mr.. Riner
holds the contract for putting in the new
culyert, and claims that the wood taken
from the old culvert belongs to him. Casey
was released from custody on $500 bonds.
Injured by a Bicycle.
Willie Risdenpart, an 11-year-old boy,
living on Fulton street, was seriously in
jured on Monday evening by becoming en-
tangled in the wheels of a bicycle He
was riding up and down the street near his
home, when his long oyeralls caught in
wheel of the machine and threw him vio-
lently upon his side and shoulder. Upon
examination it was found that his right
shoulder was dislocated, the elbow frac-
tured and the arm broken above the elbow
joint.
New Water Mains.
Pipes were laid yesterday on Shattuck
avenue, from Dwight way to Asby ave-

Charles L. Fairs Sisters File Their Answer

An answer was filed yesterday by
Theresa A. Oelrichs and Virginia Fair in
the test suit brought by their brother,
Charles L. Fair. against them and the

LATE NEWS FROM ALAMEDA
Warden Sanford Bennett
Scores the Trustees for
Dismissing Zingg.
The Savings Bank Has Decreased
the Rate of Interest on Its
Loans.

Warden Sanford Bennett paid his COM
pliments to Citizen Carlson yesterday for
interfering in the boulevard speedtrack.
He said that the action of the Trustees in
dismissing Officer Zingg made corpse of
the boulevard. Warden Bennett declared
that the boulevard was going to the dogs,
and that the work of months had been un-
done in few minutes. He has also tried
to impress upon the Trustees the absolute
necessity of keeping the boulevard in re-
pair saying that the city would receive a
black eye and $4,000 would be lost. The
Trustees expressed regret that they could
not continue the services of Officer Zingg,
but as the City Attorney had advised that
they could not continue his services, and
that his appointment was illegal, they did
not propose to do anything which would
lead 10 litigation. The warden offered to
furnish an indemnity bond, but this
proposition found no favor with the trus-
tees, and the matter has been dropped for
the present.
Indications of Better Times.
a resolution was passed by the directors
OF the Alameda Savings Bank yesterday
lowering the rate of interest from 81 to s
per cent. 1t was per cent prior to the
SASAot NS PISsS1OL uSDeTeQ III III 1000,
when interest on loans was advanced "a

the nrst SIX months of the current year of
$2o,OOO is an indication of better times.

THOMPSON'S LIFE POLICY,
An Insurance Company Will Refuse to
Pay the Death Loss, Claiming
Fraud.

A very interesting contest is now in
progress over the life insurance policy of
William S. I thompson, the clearinghouse
master, who died on the 9th of last May.
About three months before Thompson
died he was insured in the Life Insurance
Clearing Company of st. Paul. The COM
pany became suspicious of the sudden
death and instructed its agent to inquire
into the matter.
r. c.. Milliken, the agent of the COM
pany, arrived here ten days ago.
From all can learn" said Mr.. Mill
ken yesterday, Thompson died OF tuber-
cuIosis. I have talked to many who knew
him in life, and they tell me that he had
consumption for at least three years before
his death. DR.. Vaccari, VINO attended him
in his last moments, certified that he had
died of pneumonia. DR.. McQuestin ex-
amined him on December 29 and on his
recommendation the company accepted
Thompson.
1.-The life insurance company does what
is called an under-average insurance
business, and accepts people who are re-
jected by other companies on the grounds
of family history. There may have been
an hereditary complaint in his family, but
as long as he is sound in health, he is
TAKEN"
DIR. McQueSt1n, VINO examined InOmp-
son, said yesterday that he had given the
man a second-rate certificate.
DR.. Vaccari, who certified to the death
of Thompson, said that he died from
catarrhal pneumonia. He did not examine
him for tuberculosis, as he had to deal with
pneumonia.
Special Agent Milliken has offered to
compromise the case for S175, and says
that he will not pay cent more. The
offer of compromise has thus far been
refused, and developments are awaited
with interest. Thompson was once a
policeman, and was sent to San Quentin
for murder While drunk one night he
killed man on Morton street. He was
pardoned out of San Quentin and engaged
in the sailor clearinghouse business.
Milliken says that he has proof that Dr.
Vaccari treated the deceased for consump-

DIED BY THE ROADSIDE.
Ignominious End of an Alameda County
Pioneer.

Pioneer.
Jesse F. Crapo, one of the early settlers
of Alameda County, was found dead by
the roadside near Redwood City few days
ago and the inquest On his body was held
yesterday.
In 1863 Crapo settled in Livermore Valley
and by thrift and industry accumulated
wealth rapidly. He held many positions
of trust and responsibility and was looked
upon as one of the substantial men of that
prosperous valley.
He had lovely family of four children,
TWO boys and two girls, and everything
went well until few years ago, when
Crapo fell under evil influences and acom-
menced to squander what was then vast
fortune. His wife and family separated
from him and he has been drifting about
ever since. He went to San Mateo County
two years ago and has eked out an exist
ence doing odd jobs on ranches. The two
sons are residing at Salinas and the
daughters are with their mother at San
Jose. One of the daughters is the wife of
ex-Assemblyman Johnson OF San Jose.
From the evidence presented it is learned
that Crapo was seen driving a load of wood
the evening before he was found dead
The same evening the team returned with
out driver. Two men went in search of
Crapo and found him lying in stupid
condition by the roadside Supposing
him to be under the influence of LIQUOR the
men left him to recover after placing him
in the shade of hedge. Next morning he
was found dead, and it is probable that he
died of heart disease. Crapo was q native
Of Massachusetts, and was so years old
The news of his death caused much sur
prise in this county, and the family was
one of the best known in the Livermore
Valley. AT one time Crapo was worth
quarter of a million dollars.
