furtherlng its interests if elected. Presi-
dent A hern said that Mr.. Dwyer fought
against bill that was introduced at q
meeting of the Legislature two years ago
which was in the interest OF the assocla-
tion and that if elected he had every
reason to believe the candidate from the
Nineteenth Senatorial District would
knife the association even deeper than
before. He hoped that the members OF
the association would not forget Mr..
Dwver on election day.
President Ahern, in his address to the
sportsmen and candidates present, stated
at length the objects of the association.
He said that its aim was to com bat the
marshland preserve system; to protect the
farmers' rights and the protection and
propagation of desirable game and tish.
George Dennis OF Alameda also spoke at
length on the marshland preserve system.
He said that this Government was depend
ent in great measure on its citizens TO
fight the battles of the country in case OF
war, and that the young men OF Inc
present day who were not born with silver
spoons in their mouth should be accorded, !,
at least some territory where they could
learn how to handle shotgun and a rifle
in manner that would prove CT service to
the country if they were called upon to
defend it.
Mr.. Schmidt, one of the attorneys for
the association, stated that the Teuxberry
vs. Jones case would come up for trial in
the Superior Court of Contra Costa County
Noyemb ber g. Jones and some OF his COM
panions were arrested last winter for
shooting wild ducks on Mrs. Teuxberry's

Candidates for the Assembly and
Senate Pledge Their Support to
the Duck.Shooters.

The mass-meeting of sportsmen which
was held last evening in Albion Hall in
the Alcazar building was thoroughly rep
resentative of the feeling of the hunters
of this City toward the preserve system.
Long before the president of the Sports
mems Protective Association, w. J..
Ahern, called the convention to order,
standing room only was obtainable.
The object of the meeting was to call
the attention of the leg atiye candidates,
many of whom were present, to the re-
Gently inaugurated system of marsh land
preserves, and to ask their support in a
fight that will be instituted by the asso-
clation at the coming session of the Legis-
lature to throw all marsh and overhowed
lands open to sportsmen at large.
With the exception of Larry Dwyer,
who is a candidate for Senator from the

The teachers were present at the High
School at an early hour to-day for their
second days work. They were divided in
three sections in. order to get those teach
ing children OF one age together.
Mr.. Garin, teacher OF drawing in the
Oakland High School, spoke upon Draw
ing Self-taught."
Miss M. w. Tyrrell presented the matter
of elementary science. She thought that
natural science taught the child to get in.
formation from his own researches and
had a refining influence upon him.
FL. w. Lynch presented reading to the
teachers. He said: There are num-
Der OF mechanical processes to be mastered
to a certain extent before a child can

Professor Elmer E. Brown of the Uni

Ideals of the Tompkins Observation
School," "The matter of health is one
of our special subjects of investigation"
he said, "and in this we have been assisted
by the local ply scians. One OF the first
things was that of poor hearing of the
students. Then the lung capacity was
found deficient. A good teacher can edu-
cate pupil in the time lost by poor
one. Time is lost whan it is spent upon
poor literature if we could give them
better"
S. P. Meads entertained the High School

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL, !,

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALI
908 Broadway. Oct. 80.
A most remarkable case of depravity
was reported to the Sheriff's Office to-day,
and after an investigation the affair vas
no less mysterious.
Joseph Octav Besse, a capitalist and
real estate dealer, lives at 2047 Linden
street. At first the general opinion was
that the old capitalist resided there
alone, but after time IL began to be
whispered about that some one was i'm
prisoned in the house, and that whoever
ii was occupied the room the windows of
which were heavily barred. This story
was told to Sheriff White, and he re-
quested Mrs. Prescott of the Prevention of
Cruelty to Children Society to make an
investigation.
This afternoon Mrs. Prescott made a
visit to the house, and while looking Tor a
means to gain admittance Besse appeared.
He at first refused to allow any search
or to say anything, but when told that
the lady possessed the authority of a
Deputy Sheriff he consented to admit her.
The house is a good one, and the fur
nishing indicated that there was no lack of
funds III fitting it up. The old capitalist
seemed to have a good idea ot comfort,
ana the only room tnat looked CneerleSS
and untidy was the one poorly lighted by
the latticed window. In this room an old
woman was lying in the bed. She was q
mere skeleton, and Besse said she was
stone blind.
Be>se is French Canadian who owns
property in Oakland and is rated as
capitalist He is 70 years of age. His
property Is mortgaged for $500. He trans
acts his real-estate business, when any is
done, at. his home, which he cabs his office
and residence.
The woman on the bed is his wife. She
is 81 years old and has not been off the bed
for over a year. She is entirely helpless
and Besse locks up the house whenever he
goes out.
Mrs. Prescott says the bed and the whole
room is in horrible condition. The
woman was poorly clothed and there'were
not more than half enough bedclothes to
prod uce comfort.
Whelhe Besse be miser or broken
capitalist, or whether his mind be totter-
ing, are gu stions that the Sheriff would
like to solve, but as the case does not come
within the jurisdiction of his Office or the
Children s Society neither can act.

ReSolued, That we commend the business en-

business.

AN ELECTRICAL STORM.


Last night our city was visited by
quite wind and sand storm accom-
panied by lightning and rumbling
thunder, but no rain. Many of our
citizens report shingles blown from
their houses and damage done to
fences and trees. We learn from
railroad men who came in from
Texas points, that heavy rains fell
all over Eastern Texas to within
fifteen or twenty miles of this place,
We are sorry the clouds did not
open over US and give US rain, as
we needed one here badly.
