WANTED FOR FORGERY.
Meyer Cohen, Who Failed to Appear
at His Wedding, Is Now
Fugitive.

OAKLAND, CAL, June 24.-Julius Abra-
hanson of this city has sworn to a war
rant charging Meyer Cohen, the ex-news-
paper man and baseball enthusiast, with
forgery to-day. According to the story
told by Abrahamson it was about two
weeks ago that Cohen presented him with
a check on a San Jose bank for $37 so
signed "Asha Greenberg" of San Jose, his
prospective father-ln-law.
1t was after banking hours and it was
cashed for accomm odation.
The check was placed in the bank for
collection, and several days later word
was received that it was clumsy forgery
Abrahamson sent Cohen word to settle at
once or he would have him arrested.
Within q few hours after the receipt of
this warning Cohen had left town. 1t has
been learned that Cohen had made several
attempts to get larger checks cashed
about the City Hall, where he was well
known. 1t is said here that his Eastern
record is rather against him and that he
only escaped prosecution there owing to
the interested parties desiring to keep
from publicity their names.

Three would-be murderers were arrested
by chance this afternoon. They are Jo-
seph Williams, Charlie Carson and
Thomas keenan,, and they will be booked
for a cowardly assault upon three un-
protected Chinese last Sunday, and which
may yet prove to be murder.
Constable Gallett of San Leandro ar
rested a batch OF five tramps yesterday
and took them before Justice Quinn this
morning. They were sentenced to ten
days for vagrancy and were brought 10 the
County Jail to-day. AS they were being
booked some blood was discovered upon
their clothes, and this aroused a suspicion
that they might be the men who assaulted
the Cinnamon last Sunday midnight in
the lonely shanty by Lake Merritt.
The city police were notified and the
tramps were taken before the Chinese,
who are still seriously sick In the Chinese
quarter.
The Cinnamon were quite positive in
their Identification and picked out the
three guilty ones without any hesitation
There will probably be many people at
the Jail tomorrow TO see the prisoners, as
there has been series OF robberies COM
mitted on the county road during the past
month and it is believed that the eang Is
was robbed Sunday night, and visits have
also been made at Nose Gunst's house,
and few days ago the Villa Hotel at
Haywards was system atically looted.
These men have been doing the neighbor-
hood for some time, and some of them
have been imprisoned tor vagrancy quite
recently.

ing to lose, are forever saying that Oak
land is making but little progress.
Although issued in the Centennial year,
the book reads like an ancient history, and,
were the facts not ind1sputable, thousands
would doubt them.
The Centennial year seems but brief
instance In the past, but the record of i'm
provements and values of twenty years
presents a remarkable contrast to the con-
ditions of to-day.
Mayor Davie has a copy of the book and
this afternoon he was looking from the
steps of the City Hall down Fourteenth
street toward the lake and trying to con-
vince himself that the picture of the same
spot IN 1876 was not false. DR.. e. H.
Pardee was elected Mayor in that year
and it was while he was in office that the
railroad company laid the foundation for
the powerful opposition that may be said
to have eliminated in the warlike events
that marked the career of DR.. G. G. Pardee
as Mayor.
The father saw the beginning of what it
is hoped the son saw the end-the restora-
ton of the water front. There was great
battle for a steam railroad out Market
street to the foothills. The line would
The San Francisco call., 1896-06-25

have been run in connection with a ferry
from the foot of Market street to San
Francisco. During the struggle for the
franchise the Southern Pacific Company
had bill slyly passed through the Legis-
lature prohibiting the passage of any new
railroad through the town excepting by
the unanimous consent of the City Coun-
ell. A great storm was raised, and DR..
Pardee Sr., who is still enjoying fair
health, presided at an indignation meet
ing, the result of which was that the bill
was vetoed by the Governor. The fran
chise was never granted, and in that re-
spect the railroad won the day, but they
laid the foundation for interminable trou-
BILE and opposition, which exists to this
day.
One of the most lamentable personal
events that ever occurred in Oakland was
the suicide in the Centennial wear of Ben
iamin f. Ferris by drowning in the Sac
ramento River, about 4 o'clock on the
morning of the Goth of May. He had taken
passage in the steamer Amador at San
Francisco the previous afternoon, and
when the boat was near Sacramento, in
the vicinity of what is known as the
Chickory ranch, be threw himself over
board and was drowned. His remains
were found in due course and conveyed to
Oakland. Deceased was Mayor of the city
in 1866, and was Justice of the Peace for

was the Inauguration of couple of horse
car lines. Now ttere is not city in the
Union with q more complete system OF
electric roads than Oakland. They run out
to the foothills in several directions; belt
sweeps through Oakland and Alameda
lines run to West Oakland on three differ
ent streets; to East Oakland on three
routes. one of which goes clear through to
Haywards.
In 1876 the tax rate was 81 80; this year
it is$1.
81 don't think the people have anything
to be ashamed of in the last twenty-years, "
said the Mayor. considering the proxim-
ity to and competition from San francisco
the progress has been wonderful. In the
Centennial year, which does not seem very
far back, Oakland was contented to play
second fiddle to San Francisco in every
thing. Now that idea is completely dis
missed, and there is more pride among
Oaklanders, generally, than is found in
most cities. There are others-but they
cut no figure in this stoIy."

a SURPRISE LOOKED FOR.
Mayer Davies New Appointee Changes
the Complexion of the
Board.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL !

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALI
90S Broadway, June "a. I
The difficulty regarding the appoint
ment of successors on the Board of Health
to those members whose terms have ex-
pired is yet unsettled. Mayor Davie stated
to-day that Drs. r. H. Chamberlain and A.
E. Small have accepted the positions
made vacant by the retirement of Drs.
Akerly and Fisher.
The terms of the retiring members ex-
pred on the first Monday in this month,
but although several prominent physi-
clans have been offered the vacancies,
none have accepted till to-day.
The chief difficulty in the way of their
acceptance was the commonly repeated
story that no one could be appointed VINO
would not do the Mayors bidding in the
matter OF dispensing the patronage.
In the gift of the board are the Offices OF
Health Officer, secretary, Sanitary In
spector and Assistant Sanitary Inspector.
Nearly two years ago the Mayor named
two member of the board and it was gen.
orally understood there would be many
changes. Secretary Schafer was removed
for short period, about two weeks, but
the Mayors lady appointee, DR.. Sareh
Shuev, who is now president of the board,
reconsideTed her action and subsequently
voted to reinstate Schafer.
Mayor Davies appointments were an
innovation, inasmach as 1t was the first
time that representation was given to the
homeopathic school. 1t created a lot of
excitement and there was always more or
less friction between the two schools. The
past year has been one during which there
has been little active work for the Board
OF Health, and peace has prevailed.
When the terms OF two members ex-
pired, two weeks ago, the Mayor was in a
position to give either school control of
the board by his new appointees. Several
doctors stated that they had been offered
the vacancies, but the professional jeal-
ousies of the two schools forced them to
decline. Every possible inducement not
to accept was put forth by the repeated
statements that the mem bers would be but
the mouthpieces of the Mayor.
The two new appointees have taken the
board out of the power of the regular
school, as both Drs. Chamberlain and
Small are homeopaths. This axes the
com pIexion of the board three to two.
DR.. Sarah l. ShueY and DR.. Beckwith are
of the old school, while DR.. Larkey is
homeopath.
at the next meeting there is likely to
be a surprise. 1t is rumored that the
three homeopalhs Will demand the presi-
dency, ana that the newly elected lady pres
ident will have short reign in the chair.
The old school dares the homeopaths tt
do such an ungaIlant action as to unseat
lady, and the situation is one of interest.
Should any arrangement have been
maue prior to their appointment, all the
patronage may be redistributed. The
Mayor denies that he has been around
offering the places to doctors and requir-
ing obedience as the price of the honor.
He says the various reports have been cir
culated by his political enemies for the
purpose of annoying him.

GOOD YEARS WORK.
Marked Growth in the Business of
the Local Post
Office.

OAKLAND, CAL, June 24.-"The postal
business of this city for the fiscal year end
ing July 80 will reach total of over $685.
500," said Postmaster White to-day.
This, with an aggregate of over $275,O 900
for money orders issued, foreign and do
mestic, and about $3.50, 900 paid in the ag-
gregate is not a bad showing for city
whose population is mostly in business
in an adjoining city. The expenses OF the
Office are about $50 900 year, so, you see,
we turn neat balance over to the Gov
ernment."
The postal system of Oakland is divided
between the main Office, two stations, two
substations and number of postal agen-
cies. AT present there are thirty carriers,
FIVE substitute carriers, eighteen clerks
(including those in charge of stations and
substations) and four special delivery
messengers. The clerks are divided as
follows: Stations, two; substations, two;
M ailing department, three; money order.
two; register. two; distribution, two; di-
rectory, two; general delivery, one;
stamp, one; relief, one. With the great
amount of mail and the frequent arrivals
and departures of mails from $50 A. NJ.
until II midnight. this force is not con-
sidered sufficient for the rapid handling OF
the mails. There is nearly twelve tons OF
second-class matter alone sent out OF the
office every month in the year.

ber of the City Council, and was one of the
founders and the first president of the

The cause of the rash act was temporary
insanity, caused by financial embarrass-
ment.
The great event Of interest in the month
of June was the wonderful trip of the
lightning train, chartered by the New
York theatrical managers, Messrs. Jarrett
81 Palmer to convey their company, with
Lawrence Barrett as star, from New York
to San Francisco in the shortest possible
time. The train started from Jersey City,
opposite New York, at O. clock on Thurs
day morning, the 1st of June, and crossed
Broadway, Oakland, twenty-five minutes
past o'clock on Sunday morning, the 4th
day of June. The actual time occupied in
making this unprecented trip between Jer-
sey City and Oakland wharf was SO hours
80 minutes and l6 seconds. People were
out, lining the front streets of the city,
from early morning, looking out for the
fast train, which dashed through Oakland
at the rate of fifty miles an hour. Cheer
after cheer greeted it at every station in
Alameda County. This unprecedented
journey was looked upon as the greatest
railroad feat ever performed.
1t was ust twenty years ago that the
Eighth-street bridge was built, which is
the cause of so much contention and which
is at present barricaded.
The most marked difference is every
where visible in the buildings that have
been erected in the business portion of
the city and the busy suburbs that have
grown up all around. All the large busi-
ness blocks west of Broadway have been
built since then, and the districts in North
and East Oakland. The city has almost
trebled in size during the past twenty
years in area and doubled in population.

Amanda Galloway went to revenge an
insult at the house of an acquaintance,
and her satisfaction will probably be
death, for she was shot.
The shooting was done at the house 657
Jefferson street, where Pleasant Hill, a
colored fagman, resided with Mary Wag-
ner. From the stories of the parties, who
are all colored, there has been bad blood
between the women for long time.
Mary Wagner is credited with making
remarks about the reputation of Mrs.
Galloway, who is the mother of several
children.
This evening about o'clock Mrs. Cal
loway went to the house where Mary
Wagner lives as housekeeper TO Pleasant
Hill. She made known the object of her
visit and the women were soon quarreling
violently.
Mary Wagn er finally ran and obtained a
gun and quickly fred three shots, which
entered the arm. breast and hip of her
visitor. Est her Mings and Hill were wit
nesses to the shooting, but it was done too
quickly for them to interfere.
The victim was taken to the Receiving
Hospital, and the doctors at once stated
that it was impossible for her to live.
While on the operating table Mrs. Cal
loway made dying statement to Detec-
tive Snorey. She said: ST believe l will
die. Mary Wagner shot me three times
because she said my husband was not the
father of my children. 1t was all done
without provocation."
Pleasant Hill says that the two women
were quarreling and that Mrs. Galloway
told Mary Wagner she knew she had a
gun and that she wo uld make her swallow
it. After struggle for the gun the shots
were free and Mrs. Galloway fell.
Mary Wagner was taken to the City
Hail to be held pending developments.
