ly advocated by merchants and commits
sion men in a very small portion of the
business district, but it was so evidently
for the benefit of few and the detriment
of the vast majority that it was unani-
mously passed over last night. An effort
will be made to keep the large number of
Chinese peddlers out of Oakland who come
over every morning from San Francisco
and return at night, after having sold
about 81 worth of goods apiece. As the
number of peddlers is about 100, it is
readily seen that large amount of money
is daily taken from this city, for which
there is absolutely no return. Alameda
passed an ordinance against peddlers who
were not residents that was aimed at the
Chinese, but the Celestials evaded the law
by building little huts on the banks of the
estuary and establishing a residence,
although they still make their daily trip
to and from San Francisco.
The Oakland ordinance will be framed
so that, if possible, the Chinese cannot
beat it. 1t will probably fix a high tariff
on peddlers who hawk vegetables not
grown within certain limits. Several wears
ago the City Council of Oakland passed an
ordinance that practically prohibited
peddling within the city limits, but the
opposition was so great that it was speed
lily repealed.

NEARLY A FREE FIGHT.
The Meeting of the Board of
Works Enlivened by a
Wordy War.
Mayor Davle, Engineer Wilson,
Attorney Peirsol and Captain
Badger in a Tilt.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALI

90S Broadway, August 20.
The meeting of the Board of Works near
ly ended in free fight. The row COM
menced over the sewer on East Eighth
street. Four sewers of fourteen inches each
lead down Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Sew
enth avenues, and City Engineer Wilson
is laying an interception sewer along East
Eighth street The size of the sewer is
twelve inches. Tonight Mayor Davie
ordered the work stopped and demanded
of Engineer Wilson if an intercepting
sewer of twelve inches was sufficient to
carry off the sewerage from four fourteen
inch pipes, Wilson refused to answer.
"My opinion is" City Attorney Peirsol
was saving when the Mayor cut him short
by saving: "Who asked for your opin-
ion? 1t is not worth the breath that it
takes to express 1t.
81 am waiting, Mr.. Wilson," said the
Mayor.
Il will answer to the Council" said
Wilson.
"Well, then, will stop the work. 1t
seems to me you are about as good an en-
gineer as Mr.. Peirsol is an attorney" said
the Mayor.
Several hot passages of oratory followed,
and then Captain Badger, landowner
through whose property the sewer will
pass, addressed the board. Captain Badger
said that the City Engineer was laying the
sewer through his property and was going
out of a direct course to do it. He charged
Wilson with doing it because if he kept
straight on the sewer would pass through
the railroad property and the ditch would
pass under the track where 1t curves at
Clinton street station.
Wilson denied that he was actuated by
desire to favor the railroad.
Then explain yourself, sir, said Badger
angrily. 1.-The railroad has owned every
City Engineer we ever had, and am pre-
pared to show that they own you from
your head to your feet"
II am not answerable to this board, said
Commissioner Wilson.
"Well, I'll see that you are," retorted
Davie.
II am of the opinion - Mr.. Peirsol was
saying.
"Wait till you get your 500 month as
sistant attorney and then suppose we will
be flooded out with opinions"
The Mayor had reference to the resolu-
ton passed last night authorizing the City
Attorney to appoint an assistant at a sal
airy not to exceed 500 per month.
There was some more quarreling, and
the meeting broke up with the Mayor re-
newing his order that the work be stopped.
This is the first conflict that has arisen
under the amendment to the charter max
ing the Mayor. the City Attorney and the
City Engineer members of the Board of
Public Works. Each member has specific
duties and responsibilities in his individual
office and also as Commissioner of Pub
lie Works. In both capacities are they
subject to the City Council and as individ-
ual officers they are subject to themselves
collectively. Just bow the complications
can be Strengthened out is not very plain.
The meeting of the board usually lasts
about twenty minutes. Tonight it lasted
two and half hours.

VOLUNTARY DRUNKENNESS.
Judge Low Raises an Interesting Point
in Barney Juchter's Case.

Judge Low Raises an Interesting Point
in Barney Juchter's Case.
The preliminary examination OF Barney
Juchter, the teamster who shot Grace
Jago, a niece of Contractor Rowley, last
week, was held before Judge Low yester-
day. The girl was able to appear in court
and testified that the shooting was
accidental.
The defendant in giving his testimony
admitted that he was so drunk at the time
that he did not know what he was doing.
He could not remember how he came to
have the pistol in his hands or how the
accident occurred.
In answer to the Judge Juchter said he
got drunk voluntarily, and was surprised
when the Judge told him that the law
expressly laid down that voluntary
drunkenness was no excuse for criminal
negligence. He intimated that he would
give his decision to-day.
If the Judge should decide that Juchter
was criminally negligent by reason of
voluntary drunkenness he will have to
stand his trial for assault with a deadly
weaDOn.

The ordinance that would have kept all
peddlers in Oakland from doing any bust
ness by requiring what would practically
be prohibitive license has been tabled by
the City Council. This ordinance was
being rushed through somewhat speedily.
but about month ago communication
was sent to THE CALL calling attention to
the joker that lay in an apparently harm
less pack. The ordinance merely provided
for the raising of the license from SIS to
$50 per quarter, and looked innocent
enough, but not one peddler in hundred
could pay the high figures, and as a con-
sequence the thousands of householders
who live in the outlying districts of the
city would be forced to spend car fare and
come into town or purchase at village
stores sometimes removed long distance
from their dwellings. The facts were in
quired into and published in this paper.
and to their publication is due in a great
measure the defeat of the ordinance. A
majority of the Council did not fully un-
derstand the merits of the case. and when
they saw the hardship the measure would
cause they promptly decided not to sup
port it..
1t was shown that there are about 1000
people dependent upon the peddling bust
ness for their support and the peddler's
only outfit was his horse, cart and time.
If he were deprived of this opportunity of
living the entailed suffering would be very
great.
The passage of the ordinance was warm.

Ed. Wickham, who is now locked up in
the County Jail on felony charge, will
probably be released from custody to-
morrow. Wickham has been in Jail for
some time, and the District Attorneys
Office claims that an information was filed
in the County Clerks office against him
July 81.
w. f. Cram, who is attorney for Wick
ham, asked last Friday that the charge be
dismissed on the grounds that the in
formation had not been filed within the
thirty days allowed by law, or at all. One
of the Assistant District Attorneys claimed
in court that the information had been
filed.
Judge Frick, under this contradiction of
claims, continued the case until tomorrow
morning.
Meantime Court Clerk Mack investigated
the records in the County Clerks office.
The register of criminal actions, which he
overhauled, did not show that an infor-
nation had been filed at any time against
Wickham, and as the numbers of the
cases showed that no omission had been
made, he was somewhat puzzled.
The District Attorneys Office claimed
that it had filed two informations on July
81. Both of these are recorded in the reg
lister, but there is no indication that any
information was filed in the Wickham
case.
