OAKLAND, CAL, Aug. S.-Mrs. Lydia
A. Prescott, secretary of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Children, is
satisfied that she knows who is the
mother of Little Helene" the waif who
was left for her to care for without any ex-
PLANTATION last April. Ever since that
date a systematic but quiet search has
been going on to discover whose child she
is.
"In March 1 received letter." said Mrs.
Prescott, asking if we could find a
home for baby girl. About a month later
the baby arrived. 1t was i'll, but was soon
nursed back to health, and to-day it is as
fine child as you could desire. One day
a young woman called to see ch1id who,
she said, she understood We wanted to
have adopted.
From her eyes I secured my first clew,
and have followed it up until | believe the

Chief Krauth Formulates a Plan
to Abolish Alameda's
Volunteers.
The Board OF Health Censures the

nances-Funeralo of w. Wyber.

ALAMEDA, CAL, Aug. S.-"One volun-
teer is worth ten pressed men" does not
find favor IN the eyes of Fire Chief
Krauth. He holds that in fire companies
one paid man is worth ten volunteers
from the point of efficiency and discipline.
So it is under contemplation to reorganize
the city Fire Department, and Chief
Krauth has formulated plan for the con-
sideration of the Fire Committee of the
City Trustees. If considered practicable,
it will not go into operation until after
the new tax levy has been fixed in Oc-
tober.
The plan, as outlined, will abolish the
present volunteer com mpanies. In their
places there will be three hose companies,
with hose-wagons, located at the Court
street, Webb-avenue and Sherman-street
frehouses, and two hook -and-ladder COM
panies also at the last-named houses.
The force is to consist of chief en-
gineer, two district engineers, eight
drivers one steamer engineer, five fore
men and thirty extra or call men. The
men will be paid for the actual time on
duty on a scale in keeping with their posi-
tions-from So to 81 for the first nalf hour
employed and 81 to so cents for each half
hour thereafter.
The expense for last year, including the
fre-alarm system, was $40 35l 26, and it is
calculated that the reorganization will
not entail any fresh outlay.
Board of Health.
ALAMEDA, CAL, Aug. S.-The health
officer at the Board of Healths meeting
last evening reported six contagious dis
eases for the previous month. The deaths
recorded were twelve and the births four
teen. The annual death rate was stated
as S.36. The veterinary inspectors report
stated he had physically examined 65
cows and found three cases of tuberculosis
ana connscated 100 packages of cream
which be had found on sale since the per-
NIT had been revoked by the board.
DR.. Lubbock called the attention of the
board to the neglect of the Police Depart
ment IN enforcing the ordinances relating
TO scavengers and the placing of produce
on sale at least two feet from the side
walk. AS acting Health Officer / have
twice asked the police to carry out the
provisions OF the ordnance" he said.
There is no use in the Board of Health
obtaining the passage of ordinances if
they are not going to be enforced It is as
much the duty of the police to enforce the
city ordinances as it is to arrest drunken
man."
1t was agreed that the City Marshal

Resplendent in red, white and blue uni
forms the Populists of Alameda County
held their ratification meeting tonight.
The procession that marched from Fifth
and Broadway along the prescribed route
to Germania Hall was unusually large for
the early stages OF a campaign. 1t was led
by City Attorney Peirsol mounted on a
staid old charger. His aids were County
Assessor Dalton, Sheriff White, Gus Kock,
w. Matthews, John r. Ely, M. L. Gray
and F. T. Hale, who were also mounted
and wore attractive tri-coiored sashes.
The Zoua7e band followed and played
popular music alternately with the drum
and fife corps, which was dressed in uni
form suggestive of colonial times.
Then came the Zouaves and the Young
Mems Peoples Party Club. The Zouaves
are uniformed in white bloomers, red
vests and blue coats and wore natty caps
Each carried torch and more than a
hundred were in line.
Several transparencies were carried, on
which were Populistic notices. One read
Issue money direct from the Govern
ment," another "Where's Mckinley: !:
what's the matter with Tom Watson?"
"Hanna's $10,0O0000 fund must not con-
troll" was on another. "16 to II in

The meeting was called together by J.

duced County Superintendent of Educa-
tlon J. P. Gariick as chairman without
any remarks.
In his opening remarks Mr.. Garlick said :
This is to be the most momentous camnaion
that has ever been seen in this country. II is
to be a campaign OF principles and not of men.
1t IS TO be campaign for principle which
will leave parties and partisans to the rear-a
campaign in which Republicans will leava
party for principle because they believe it is
for the best interest of the country; cam
paign in which Democrats will leave the nartv
because they believe it has left the principles
which they believe to be for the best interest
of the Nation.
1t is to be q campaign of patriotism, one as
far as the Popullsts are concerned of education
rather than of abuse. The Democrats have
nominated candidate for President whom we
as party have seen fit to nominate as our
leader. Now, believe it will only be the hon
orable thing for the Democrats to nominate
and indorse our Candidate for president. t.
[Cheers and applause.l There has never been
q time when party principles and party ties
were OF less account, a time when party men
were considered less than patriotism.
Susan B. Anthony was received with
considerable enthusiasm. She said: "Mr.
President, gentlemen and ladies: I
came tonight TO thank you for your sup
port of the principles which 1 advocate. T
not only desire to thank you, but the en-

leges to none. not even to men. :"

908 Broadway, Aug. 8.
George Lowry is the oldest voter in
Alameda County and he has just
celebrated his ninety-sixth birthday.
He has been voter for seventy
five years. Mr.. Lowry is the father
of Mrs. j. Branin of Haywards, and the
occasion was taken advantage of by his
many friends to gather and extend con-
gratulations.
There were many old folks at the gather
ing, but Mr.. Lowry was the only one
whose life dawned with the century. He
was born in Scotland in 1900 and came to
this country IN early life. He first located
in Cen.erville. AND after living there for
generation he moved to San Lorenzo,
where he has several children residing.
He has voted for more than half century
and his mind is very clear on the times OF
1912 and it's historic events.
When he first moved to Alameda County
the many valleys were uninhabited and
were the grazing grounds OF bands of
cattle. Since those days towns and cities
have grown up, and Mr.. Lowry has de-
voted his whole energies to active pur-
suits. He has hardly ever figured in poll
tics, but he informed his friends who were
at his ninety-sixth birthday party that he
is stalwart follower of Mckinley. He
has watched the progress of this Republic
for the greater part Of its existence, and be
is convinced that policy of protection is
the only hope and safeguard for the
future.
Mr.. Lowry is in splendid health. His
mind is strong and clear, his eyesight is
good, and he says he will not need car
rage to take him to the polls on election
day, as he is robust pedestrian for his
