THE FREE LABOR BUREAU.
Thirty-Five Hundred Applications FOL
Work During Its First Week.

Early yesterday morning George w. Fox,
the attorney at 400 Montgomery street,
called upon Labor Commissioner Fitz-
gerald and answered the charges made by
d. @. Dare, the printer, that Fox has been
engaged in the business of smuggling Chi
nese into the State. Fox denied under
oath that he ever transacted any such IL
legal business, and he stated that he will
have Dare arrested for perjury. His denial
was corroborated by s. B. Clark, who oc-
cupies part OF Fox's Office.
As published in yesterdays CALL the
Labor Commissioner received letter from
an Oregon farmer, who requested Fitz-
gerald to find for him wife among the
unemployed women. Fitzgerald has sent
the following answer to the letter:
B. f. Crouch, Medford, Or.-DEAR SIR: am in
receipt of your application for wife, and since
this is my first experience of the kind that
have ever had, shall take particular pains to
ences and full information, and shall make

SaIoon-Keepers to Be Tried for
Selling Liquor Without
Licenses.
The West Side Improvement Club
Makes Offers for a Bicycle
Factory.

The trial of Jacob Lentz for selling
liquor without license will be held before
Judge James on next Saturday, and on the
following Saturday ]. A. Munson will be
arraigned before Judge Lord On similar
charge.
Lentz has never held license in Berke-
ley for the sale of liquor, as he claims that
he did not need one, since that district in
which his place is located was never prop
erly annexed to the town, and is, in conse-
quence, out of the jurisdiction of the Town
Board.
J. A. Munson was granted license
under the old ordinance, but the Superior
Court set aside the action of the board in
granting it because of failure to observe
the requirements of the ordinance. Mum
son held permission, however, under the
500 ordinance, to sell liquor, but as the
law has been declared illegal by the present
board. that body properly rendered to
Munson the sum paid, which he refused
and in consequence he will be held for sell
ing liquor without license, just as if he
had never obtained any privilege whatso-
ever.
Wants a Bicycle Factory.
The West Berkeley improvement Club
has authorized its secretary to address the
Manufacturers and Producers Associa-
ton in San Francisco for the purpose of
determining what inducements Eastern
capitalists would desire to establish bicy-
Gle factory in Berkeley. Should the club
all that is possible toward bringing the
manufacturers here and encouraging their
industry.
Will Test His Eligibility.
Deputy Marshal Rawson, whose posi-
ton is about to be contested on the
ground that the requirements of the town
charter had not been observed in his ap-
pointment. states that his eligibility to
the position is without flaw. He saws
that he has been a resident of the place
for over fifteen years and has complied
with the requirements of the town charter
IN every respect.
Crescent Clubs Progress.
The bicycle annex of the Crescent Ath.
letic Club, which was formally organized
last week, held its first company drill last
evening under the direction of Captain
Gompertz. Sunday, July %, there will be
a run to Haywards to witness the Acme
1O-miie road race, and on Sunday, August
4. the Crescent races will be held at the
Oakland Trotting Park for gold medals.
Mary Williams Discharged.
Mary Williams, commonly known as
Mary Bonanza, who was tried on Tues
day for grand larceny on charge pre-
ferred by Joe Williams, has been released.
She was accused of having stolen a guam
tity of jewelry belonging to Williams de-
ceased wife, but the evidence showed that
it had been given to her.

NO AssAYING AT THE MINT.

The Coinage Laws Prohibit Assaying at

Robert Barnett, chief clerk of the United

STREET-CORNER ORATORY,
1t Will Probably Soon Be Com
pletely Suppressed in
Oakland.
All Are Anxious to Do Som ething,
but None Desire to Go
Too Far.

There is a petition in circulation asking
that the Oakland Council repeal the ordi-
nance forbidding open-air meetings, and it
has been largely signed by the church
members and Christian Endeavorers.
The Council is inclined to favor the re-
Iigious element, while the Mayor is not.
The Merchants Exchange is somewhat
divided. The majority of the members
feel that they cannot afford to put them
selves on record as being opposed to the
church party, and at the same time they
feel that the City is hurt by permitting
every crank to organize mass-meeting
Just when he pleases. The ministers
would like to see the open-air missions
and Salvation Army carry out their usual
programmes, but, of course, are fully
cognizant of the fact that there cannot be
any discrimination as between politics and
religion.
The City Hall Park faces the Athenian
Club of Oakland, and several members
have decided to make change of quarters
if the nuisance is not stopped. The crowds
on the City Hall steps block up the en-
trance to the City Prison and it was neces-
sary last night for four officers to force a
passage through which to take a prisoner
into the jail.
"If the Council so desires it can pass an
ordinance prohibiting speaking in the City
Hall Park, and if such an ordinance is
passed it will be enforced" said Mayor
Davie yesterday. 1.-The nuisance had
become SO great that it became necessary
to do something, and so / absolutely re-
fused to issue any permits to any body.
could not discriminate, and so l suppose L
have pleased as many people as l have
offended"
The City Attorney will shortly be called
upon to draft an ordinance that may or
may not be rejected by the Council.
The matter of street oratory is at present
the leading topic in Oakland and it is not
possible at this time to see how it can be
satisfactorily adjusted.

LATE NEWS OF ALAMEDA.
Lord Sholto Receives a Visit
From the Sheriff at His
Cottage.
Capitalist John Gillian Found Guilty
Of Gathering Mrs. Spencer,
His Tenant.

Sheriff White came to Alameda Tuesday
and made call on Lord Sholto Douglas.
The mission of the Sheriff's visit was to
collect $135 from his Lordship on claims
assigned to J. J. Rauer of San Francisco.
Lord and Lady Douglas live in fur
nished cottage on Encinal avenue, the
property of F. G. Welp, whose family have
been on camping trip for the past two
months. The family will return about the
first of the month, and the Douglases have
been on the lookout for cottage. To the
agents who have been endeevoring to rent
Lady Douglas furnished cottage she has
had much to say about her carriages and
horses.
The Sheriff was also informed by Rauer
that Lord Douglas had been investing in
bicycles and dogs since his quarterly allow
ance had come into his possession. The
Sheriff, however, could not find any
bicycles, or carriages, or dogs to the value
of s135, and gave the matter up as bad
job.
Gillian Found Guilty.
John Gillian, the capitalist, was tried
before Justice Swasey and jury yesterday
on a charge of battery preferred against
him by one of his tenants, Mrs. Spencer,
who did not like the way he tried to collect
his rent. Mrs. Spencer claimed that Gill
lam was grasping landlord and used force
to collect his monthly rent. Gillian de-
Tended his own case. The jury was out
only few minutes and brought in verdict
of guilty. He has two other charges pend
ing against Misunderstanding the peace and
petty larceny.
Another Landmark Disappears.

mark on this side of the Bay Farm Island
bridge for the last twenty years, is going to
pieces with the action of the tides The
south wall recently caved in, causing the
roof to sag. The building was originally
erected as borax works by II. c. Clark,
but was afterward turned into a boating

Mrs. Clark in Evidence.
Mrs. George Clark, of Pearl street, who
was reported by her daughter to be miss
ing, presumably since the 18th, has not
been out of the city, but was away from
home in attendance as nurse upon sick
family on Santa Clara avenue. She had
read of her disappearance in THE CALL and
at once sought her daughter to quiet her
feelings.

DEBS' RELEASE FROM JAIL

Labor Associations in Turmoil Over
the Proposed Demonstration.
Chicago, Oct. 8.-Chicago labor Or
ganizations are again in a turmoil, this
time over the reception which it was
proposed to be given to Eugene V.
Debs on his release from Woodstock
Jail. At meeting of the Labor Con-
gress today it was reported that ar
rangements for the reception were pro-
crossing, while at a meeting of the
Trades and Labor Assembly several
delegates expressed their disgust with
the entire matter, and said they had
come to the conclusion that Debs was
not much of martyr after all. 1t de-
veloped lister that the officers of the
Trades and Labor Assembly claim to
have discovered that upon his release
Debs will enter upon what they call a
war on trades unions, and will endea-
vor to establish a political organiza-
tion, with headquarters at Chicago.
There is some amusement among old
time trades urionists over the efforts
of committee representing the recent
ly organized Labor Congress to get the
railroads to grant a special rate of fare
to those who will go to Woodstock to
do honor to President Debs.

A THRILLING TRIP IN MID-AIR.
A Balloon Sails for an Hour With the
Guide Unconscious.

Balloon Sails for an Hour With the
Guide Unconscious.
Lowell, Mass, Oct. 8.-Dr. w. L.
Rombough and D. A. Sullivan had a
wonderful balloon trip yesterday with
Professor Allen of Providence. The
balloon ascension was made from
North Common in the presence of 1O,-
900 people.
Mr.. Sullivan, in reaching for the
carrier pigeon which Professor Allen
was to hand to him, discovered that
the professor was unconscious. They
barely had time to seize his legs to pre-
vent him from falling headlong from
the car.
The balloon, without any guide,
passed through Tewksbury and And
over. and then changed its course
towards Bedford and Lexington. 1t
was nearly an hour in the air, and DR..
Rombough and Mr.. Sullivan were
nearly exhausted when a landing was
made near North Lexington. Profess
sor Allen did not fully recover consci-
BUSINESS for some time after the land
ing of the balloon. It is thought that
he was rendered insensible from gas
escaping in the balloon. His compan-
ions do not know what caused the bal
loon to descend. They suppose that
in his struggles for air the professor
may have touched the valve which
caused the gas to escape.

sympathy for Cuba.

Chicago, Oct. 7.-Every mayor of
every city, town and village throughout
the United States will be advised and
requested by the executive committee
of the Cuban sympathetic mass meet
ing, held in Chicago last Monday
night, to confer with the most promi-
nent and public-spirited citizens
within their respective localities to
arrange for a national mass meeting
the night of Thursday, October 81, for
the purpose of awakening a kindly
feeling toward the suffering and pa
triotic Cubans who are struggling for
liberty. The committee will also call
upon every prominent organization in
the country for the cooperation of its
branches in every section. Churches of
every denomination, and fraternal and
benevolent societies will also be called
upon for assistance in making the mass
meeting on October 81 a great wave of
public opinion and sympathy with the
Cuban cause from the Pacific to the
Atlantic and from British Columbia to
Mexico.

San Ouentin's Physician.

San Francisco, Oct. THE Exam
iner charges that DR.. Leroy Mansfield,
physician at San Quentin prison, has
accepted money from friends of pris.
oner in consideration of his influence
to be used in obtaining pardon. DR..
Mansfield admits that he received $50
from two Greeks, whose names he
does not remember. He says the money
was paid to him to be used in the pur-
chase of delicacies for Greek convict
who is dying of consumption. He gave
no receipt for the money and deposited
it in bank in his own name. The
friends of the convict, who is serving a
sentence for manslaughter, are en-
deayoring to secure pardon for him.
The doctor promised to help them, he
says, but has not yet done anything.
DR.. Mansfield admitted that the trans
action looked crooked, but insisted that
he had not taken the money for pur-
poses other than-to purchase delicacies
for the prisoner. In the presence of an
Examiner representative today he paid
$50 to Warden Hale, which was credit
ed to the prisoners account. The con-
vict, whose name is Donguli, says he
has been provided with nothing except
from the prison supplies. Warden
Hale did not care to express an opinion
upon the conduct of Mansfield until he
had made personal investigation.

SCAFFOLD GAVE WAY.

Distressing Accident at the Laying of a
Church Cornerstone.
Lorain, O., Oct. 8.--While a great
crowd of people were assembled this
afternoon to witness the laying of the
cornerstone of the new ST. Mary S
cathedral, a temporary floor, upon
which many were standing, suddenly
gave way, precipitating many men,
women and children into the basement.
Two were killed outright, ten fatally
injured and between thirty and forty
others badly hurt The services were
Just about to begin when the accident
happened.
Fully 10000 people were around the
platform, which had been constructed
above the foundation of the edifce.
The boards forming the floor had been
laid across joists, which were support.
ed in the middle by upright posts
These supports broke and the floor went
down with crash. Fully 800 per-
SONS were thrown into the pit formed
by the sagging in the middle of the
floor.
For moment everybody was para
lyzed by the calamity, but soon there
was a rush forward by those willing
to lend assistance to the crushed and
struggling people. This made matters
worse, for fifty more persons were
crowded forward into hole upon those
who went down with the floor. When
the confusion had subsided somewhat,
many of those who were able to extri-
cate themselves did so by walking or
crawling over the less fortunate. The
work of rescue was begun at once and
all were finally taken from the pit.
The old Catholic church was at once
turned into hospital. A score of doc
tors were called and they were kept for
hours caring for the injured, several of
whom will die before morning.
The accident was due to defective
timbers. The contractor was told yes
terday that the platform was insecure,
but he said it would hold all the people
that would be crowded on it. There
were between 1000 and 1900 on it
when it gave way. Despite the acci-
dent the services continued, and the
laying of the corner stone was COM
pleted.

THE ARMY AND THE NAVY.
North t1antic Squadron to Go to Sc
to Practice Field Maneuvers.

North A tlantic Squadron to Go to Sea
to Practice Field Maneuvers.
Washington, Oct. 9.-The North At
lantic squadron will go to sea again in
few days from Chesapeake bay to re-
sumo evolutions. 1t is probable the
entire squadron, reinforced by the
Maine and Texas, and perhaps by the
Indiana, will continue these evolutions
on larger scale in Southern waGers
during the approaching winter, though
the details of the winter cruise have
not yet been definitely arranged.
The department. has determined to
allow Admiral Bunce the widest lib
erty in this work, which is regarded as
of the greatest Importance to the navy.
For many years our navy has been OBJ
liged to conteut itself with the adoption
OF such marine tactics, included in for
eign codes, as seemed desirable. So
far as these related to individual ships,
their usefulness has been demonstra ted
from time to time, but when it came
to the great fleet maneuvers the depart
ment was obliged to take them on
trust. There has been a distinct differ
ence of opinion among naval officers as
to the suitability of many of these
rules for our own use, and the depart
ment has long sought the opportunity
to ascertain their value by a practical
demonstration. For the first time
since we began to build a modern
navy, the opportunity is now in reach,
and this is the work the squadron is
now carrying on and which it will
continue during the winter, for very
much remains to be done.
