DISOBEYING THE COURT,
Work on the Addition to the
Alameda Electric Plant
Goes On.
A Barroom Brawl--Dangerous Trip
in Catamar an-News
Notes.

ALAMEDA, CAL, March 23.-Notwith-
standing the temporary injunction issued
OH Saturday last by Judge Frick restrain
ing the City Trustees and their agents
and servants and all persons acting under
their authority from permitting or causing
to be permitted any further work upon
the addition to the building now in

occupied by the municipal electric plant, !"
the noise OF hammer and saw was still to
be heard this morning at the works. City
Attorney Taylor advised the contractors
and their employees that they might con-
tinue their labors in spite of the courts or
der, which they did. An affidavit which
Engineer Messer of the electric works
would have presented in court to-day, had

City Attorney takes this liberty.

ftorial page, where frequent mention is
made of the necessity of obedience in the
Salvation Army and of the struggle that
is sometimes required to say farewell"
The following paragraph is taken as indi-
eating hostile feeling to Ballington
Booth.
The principle of self-denial, without which
nothing great, or noble. or of permanent value
ever has been, can be or will be accomplished
for either God or man.
In this instance-and all like it-a great
number of people are called upon to practice
this difficult virtue-the commander and Mrs.
Booth, the officers and soldiers of the army on
the American field, the auxiliaries and other
friends and sympathizers outside our ranks
and the territory as whole.
| In other places the spirit of the editorial
matter is taken as indication that the copy
was all prepared before Ballington Booth
announced his intention of disobeying the
generals orders, ana that there was no
sarcastic intent in the publication OF page
Ill. Those who believe in this may sus-
tain their position by the following ex-
preston:
1t is no easy or trifing matter for officers
who have held long and successful commands
to bid adieu to comrades in arms to whom
they are bound by ties OF mutual love, graft
tude and appreciation. The officers and sol
diers of the American wing naturally do not
feel any exuberant joy in parting from leaders
who have indeed led and whose lives have cor
responded with their words. The territory, as
a whole, naturally feels reluctant to lose the
benefit of the experience, tolls and talents of
those whose administration has been conspicu-
ously successful-even for the benefit of some
other country.
The wording of the extract that bears the
signature OF efBallington Booth is so strangely
at variance with his conduct of the past
few weeks as to make it unfortunate that it
appeared at this time if its publication
were devoid of malice.
"One thing is certain.'' said Ensign
Reid, 'and that is that nothing has been
done at our National headquarters that
could in the least degree offend the feel
| ings of our late commander. 1t Is our de-
sire, and to great extent our hope, that
Ballington Booth will soon see that he has
made a mistake and will acknowledge
that he has done wrong. I lam sure that
no officer or editor would ever dream OF
hurting his feelings or of creating any
obstacle against his return"

Ex-Assemblyman Bretz and George W.
Asper Have Trouble Over Notes.
OAKLAND, CAL, March 23.-Ex-As-
semblyman A. A. Bretz and George w.
Arper former aspirant for the Mayoralty
of this city, had a clash this afternoon and
now both are breathing vengeance against
the other. The two so far have only in
dulged in a word war, but more serious
trouble may break out at any moment
and undoubtedly will if the two come face
to face while in the present mood.
Arper and Bretz were formerly good
friends, but when the latter entered the
journalistic field he asked Arper to cash
some notes made by local Populists, so as
to secure money to start their sheet. The
note fell due Novem Der, 1898, but to date
all attempts to collect it have failed. Nat
urally Arper has lost faith in Populsts in
general, as well as large number in par
ticular, SO when Bretz appeared on the
scene to-day and expressed desire to
have another Populist note "shayed" he
was met with the statement that neither
he nor any of his friends were any good.
Bretz took exceptions to the remark and
for few moments Arper's Office was blue
with oaths and uncomplimentarv re-
marks about the two men which finally
resulted in Arper saying:
YOU'RE chr, and / want you to get
out of my Office"
"You're another. and Tll get out when
E please" was the reioinder.
You'll get out now. and - quick at
that"
With this Mr.. Arper forcibly elected
from his store the Populist editor. This
SO enraged Bretz that he dared Arper to
come out and meet him with bare fists or
any other weapon he might name. When
he attempted to re-enter Arper banged the
door in the angry Populist's face. Bretz
