BERKELEY, CAL, Feb. 6.-Marshal
Lloyd and Constable Brotherton are at
outs as the result of an arrest made by the
latter last evening. 1t seems that we'll
dressed man giving the name of Albert
Williams called at the house of the con-
stable and asked for food. Brotherton
Immediately arrested him and put him in
the lookup for the night Marshal Lloyd,
upon hearing of the arrest, went to the
prisoners cell and found that he was the
same man whom he himself had helped
last week, and believing him not to be
common vagrant, but workingman in
hard luck, released him. Lloyd gave
Williams so cents, took him to lodging
house and instructed him to appear on
Shattuck avenue at a certain hour this
morning SO that he might be seen by
Brotherton and Deputy Marshal Kerns.
Williams did as hewas bid but Brother
ton did not appear at that hour, and so.
Williams went his way. At about 4
O clock this afternoon the constable re-
arrested him and took him to the County
Jail IN Oakland, where he was given three
days for vagrancy by Justice Cliff. Mar
shall Lloyd, when seen this afternoon, ex-
pressed much Indignation at the work of
Brotherton in. arresting and rearresting
w illiams. The Marshal says that Will
llaIQS Is nO1 an OTQ1HdTy UTdmp, DuL q re-
spectacle man down on his uppers,' and
that the only reason Brotherton arrested
him was to secure the constable tee
Lloyd says he will change the lock on
the door of the cell so that Brotherton can
no longer use the place for the conhne-
ment of his arrests. He also says that the
lookup is not suitable place to confine
prisoners for the night, as it has no &C
comnodations whatsoever, not even
chair or bench. IF Brotherton," said he,
wanted to keep the man for the night he
should have taken him to the County Jail.
There is no reason in his actions with re-
gard to this particular case
Tricked the Company.
BERKELEY, CAL, Feb. 6.-Some of the
university students are accused of having
misused some of the privileges granted
them by the North Pacific Railway Com
pany, and in consequence there is danger
of the company cutting off from the stu
dents any further courtesies. 1t seems
that the manager OF the transportation
company offered all college students
round-trip tickets between San Francisco
and Ukiah at half rates.. Many tickets
were bought but not a corresponding num-
Der of collegiaus used them. 1t was after
ward discovered that some of the Berkeley
| men had been transferring their tickets to
| persons other than those entitled to them.
At this the decree was passed that if an
other transfer was detected the privileged of
half-fare would be entirely cut off,.

News of James Esmond.
BERKELEY, Call, Feb. 6.-News has
reached Berkeley that James Esmond. son
of the South Berkeley special police officer,
who sailed for Yokohama two years ago.
has probably been deserted with party OF
others upon e small fishing island in
Bering Sea. It appears that while the
crew of which young Esmond was a mem
Der were killing seals, the captain became
alarmed at the report that authorities
were in the vicinity on the lookout for
poachers. The captain left the station at
once without taking all of the crew with
him. Young Esmond is supposed to be
among those left behind.
