RECALLS MANY UGLY THINGS.
He Declares That The Teacher Is Not
Fit Person to Train
Young Minds.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANc1sco CA1I,l

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL
908 Broadway, Jan. 2.
The trouble over the reelection OF Pro-
fessor Rowlands as principal Of the Mount
Eden public schoo! is not yet ended.
Trustee H. Meininger declares that many
of the statements made by the friends of
the teacher are false, and he also says that
the principal was guilty of many things
that justified him in seeking his removal.
Trustee Meininger says that the indigna
tion mass-meeting and the reelection
Sunday of Mr.. Rowlands are a part of a
conspiracy to ruin him politically. He
also makes many grave charges against
the principal.
"The facts briefly and plainly stated" !"
said the trustee to-day, 'are sufficient to
not only Justify me but also to condemn
Principal Rowland, and his course OF pro-
cedure by which it must be obvious that
he hopes to retain his position as principal
as means of Self-aggrand1zement.
But since his friends have seen fit to
meet my public condemnation of the past
course of Mr.. Rowlands as principal by a
personal attack upon me, at the same
time stultifying the moral status of my
constituents, l deem It my plain duty TO
the public and in Justification of my
-
my leniency mi sht have been at least one
lonely virtue.
1.-THE facts in this case clearly demon
strate that my compliance to duty was the
only cause for the assault upon me by him.
The facts in the case are simply these, and
the citizens of Mount Eden will bear me out:
| that Mr.. Rowlands fought me and did his
best to defeat me at the last June election.
Had he been friendly, with no cause, and
as he was at that time guest at my house,
would he have opposed me?
The truth of the matter is that early
last spring, and before the spring election,
| respects in his duty. He spent much of
! his time lettering about saloons. and told
/ him plainly that he would have to attend
more strictly to his business. He requested
me to raise his salary SO month, which
! | refused. All this is why he attempted
! to defeat me in the election.
Further investigation of the case devel-
| oped the fact that Mr. Rowlands was in
the habit of opening the envelope contain
ing the questions submitted by the County
Board of Education several days prior to
! the date set. During last term, when the
| County Board of Education named a GER
| tain Monday for the examination and for
{ the breaking of the seal of the envelope
| containing the questions, Mr.. RowIands
| broke the seal the week before, and had
the school begin examinations, and had
the pupils date their papers ahead. This
is well-known fact which he attempted
! to deny on several occasions, but which he
| was forced to admit to the County Board
! of Education before whom he was ordered
| for Investigation. The result was that the
| board refused to promote his classes for
| this ana other well-founded reasons"

ALAMEDA REPUBLICANS,
They Will Probably Affiliate
With the State Execu-
tive Council.
Justice Swasey's Complaint of Boycott
Discussed by the City
Officers.

ALAMEDA, CAL, Jan. 7.-Secretary
Knowland of the Alameda Republican
Club has received letter which settles the
status of the Republican State Executive
Council so far as Alameda Republicans are
concerned. The propriety of sending a
delegation of three from the club to that
body was questioned until it was ascer-
tanned whether the State c ntral commit
tee approved of the organization. Secre-
tary Knowland accordingly wrote Chair
man Cornwall of the committee, lnquiring
about the State committees attitude, and
he received a reply fully indorsing the
Executive Council.
What the Police Say.
ALAMEDA, CAL, Jan. 2.-Justice Swa-
sey complaint that he is being boycotted
by the police force and the constables,
who cOnspire to take all the legal proceed
ings before Justice Morris, has served to
arouse those regarding whom the charge
is made. City Marshal Rogers says: THAT
is an old tale of woe of Justice Swaseys.
I have heard it so often that | am tired of
il. | have never given orders to the police
force as to where they should take their
cases. The number of cases which the
police bring to the Justices is not large,
anyhow. Last year the number of arrests
was $40, and of this number lis were for
violating ordinances. These had to go to
the Recorders court, and leave in round
numbers 200 for the Justices court. At
| So piece, the fee allowed by law, they
would amount to a total of 5000, which
would not make any Justice rich" But
| Swasey sticks to it that he is Disseminated
| against.
Gun Exploded.
! ALAMEDA, CAL, Jan. 2.-Francis
! Stahl lad IA years OF age, residing with
| tween Sixth and Seventh streets, was
! hunting on New Years day, shooting
! ducks off the remnants of the old wharf
| leading out from the terminus of Pacific
avenue. A flock of ducks flying past the
hoy took aim and fired. Instead of fetch
| ing down his game the gun exploded,
knocking him down and lodging some of
! the shot in his head and neck. The in
! iuries were very painful, though not
! serious.
The Number of Arrests.
! ALAMEDA, CAL, Jan. 2.-There were
! 320 arrests made by the police of Alameda
| during the year 1895. The largest number
| for any one month was in June-39-the
| smallest number was in April-20. During
| the year there was collected for liquor
| licenses $11, 800, for general business IL
censes $5206 40 and for dog licenses 1888 20,
making total of Si8, ,639 90.
A New Years Gift.
ALAMEDA, CAL, Jan. 2.-Commodore

presented on New Years day with a new
patent log for his yacht, Ell Sueno. The
gift was from mem bers of the yacht club,

John A. McGrath. =

The Police Commissioners will be asked
to investigate at their next meeting a
charge OF iIl-treating prisoner preferred
against Policeman John A. McGrath, who
is or patrol-wagon duty at the Central
Police station.
Last night Policeman Dugan rang i'll for
the wagon to go to Golden Gate avenue
and Polk street. Dan Driscoll, who lives
on Steiner street, was lying helplessly
drunk on the sidewalk. He was taken IN
the wagon TO the City Prison. and there
DriscolI would not leave the wagon.
Attorneys Comyns and Catteran were
there at the time and they say McGrath
dragged Driscoll out of the wagon by the
heels Driscoll clung with his hands 10
the brass railing and McGrath drew his
club and struck Driscoll several times over
the knuckles with it till he let go. AS
soon as McGrath got him ont OF the wagon
Driscoll held back and McGrath threw
him down, his head striking on the hard
stone pavement. Then he took hold OF
his ear and lifted him to his feet.
Two TRUSTEES" from the prison went to
him into the prison. Attorneys Comyns
and Catteran reported to Desk Sergeant
Shields what they ad witnessed, and he
sent Driscoll to the Receiving Hospital
where lacerated wound over his eye and
another on his scalp were dressed. He was
then taken to the prison and registered
drunk
Sergeant Shields reported to Captain
Whitman the facts as related to him by
Comyns and Catteran, and the captain
will prefer charges against McGrath be-
fore the Commissioners.
McGrath denies he used club or was
rough in his treatment OF the prisoner.
