SUFFRAGE BATTLE OPENS,
Miss Susan B. Anthony Begins
the Campaign in
Oakland.
Rev. Anna Shaw, Mrs. Hays, Mrs.
Yates and DR.. Wendte on
the Platform.

OAKLAND, CAL, March 26.-The
woman's suffrage campaign was formally
opened at the Tabernacle tonight. There
was large audience despite the constant
rain, ana the various speakers were very
cordially received. Rev. DR.. r. Fl.
Coyle opened the proceedings with
prayer, after which Miss Susan B. Anthony
made one of her characteristic speeches
and paid high tribute to the men of Cali
fornia. and prophesied glorious success
for woman suffrage at the polls next No
vember. At the conclusion of her speech
she was presented with a large basket
of California poppies. In response Miss
about native flowers and native sons and
daughters.
Fifty years ago" said the speaker, 1--WE
were not presented with such things as
these. What we received did not look so
sweet or smell SO sweet, and they were not
handed to us by comeiy native daughters.
Our compliments in those days were not
handed to us 50 daintily as were these
California poppies. They were thrown at
US, ana were of such a nature that they
were not quite SO appreciable. 1t will not
be long now before there is greater
change"
Mrs. Yates made very successful appeal
for funds to carry on the campaign, and
was followed by Miss Anna Shaw and Mrs.
Hays. Rev. c. W. Wendte was invited to
the platform and congratulated the ladies
on the auspicious circumstances under
which the campaign for woman suffrage
has started.

A MINUTE OF FREEDOM.
One of the Gold Brick Men Dfscharg ed
by Judge Frick and at Once
Rearrasfad

OAKLAND, CAL. March 26.-Andrew
w. Root, alias Raymond, one of the gold
brick swindlers, was released to-day by
Judge Frick on a writ of habeas corpus
and rearrested at once by Sergeant Hod-
kins and taken to the City Prison. Attor-
ney Nusbaumer made application for an
other writ at once and it was granted and
made returna bic before Judge Ellsworth
tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock.
Attorney Emil Nusbaumer procured a
writ of habeas corpus and secured the re-
lease of his man on the ground OF INSULT
cient evidence and the lack of proof of
conspiracy. Sergeant Hodkins and Detec-
tive Shorey were present and at once made
ready TO rccapture Root. They did not
attempt to arrest him in the room, but
made known their intentions. Root left
the court followed by his counsel and Off

and after time his attorney appealed to

Their Hypothetical Tract in Kentucky.

John James ingalls,. the Kansas orator,
once bought a farm at long range and
when he went to inspect it found that 1t
was in the bed of the Mississippi-very
low, and with no hope of recovery.
Two New York men, however are in a
still worse fix than the fretful porcupine
OF Kansas. Not long ago II. ]. Jones and
J. T. Lamar of Syracuse purchased a hypo-
thetical 200, 600 acres of Kentucky, located
in Johnson County. They got it at great
bargain-eaught the seller in pinch as
taey thought though subsequent develop
ments do not bear out this idea. AS soon
as the transfer was made the New Workers
came to Kentucky to inspect their pur-
chase. A faithful search has failed to re-
veal any part of it anywhere on earth or
in the heavens above or in the waters on
or under the earth. In fact, the only place
where they have seen any trace of the land
is in the large and enticing map which the
seller exhibited in making the sale. which
he was kind enough to give them along
with the deed 20 the mythical land. They
have nothing else to show for the good
money they gave to the man in pinch
and will try to get relief through the
United States courts.-Courier-Jo ournal.

ANOTHER STEP.
Volumes of Waterfront Case Appeal
Matter GO to the Supreme
Court.

OAKLAND, CAL, March 26.-Harvey
Brown, representing the Oakland Water
Front Company, to-day submitted an en-
crossed statement, upon a motion for
new trial in the Superior Court, in the case
of Oakland VS.. the Oakland Water Front
Company. 1t was in two large volumes
consisting of 1000 printed pages, with a
third volume of maps. The latter was eight
inches thick and contained twenty eight
maps.
The statements included every docu-
ment, deed, ordinance or legislative act
connected with the waterfront transac-
tions involved in this suit. The cost of
the printing of this work was $780, and
was considered OF so much importance by
the city of Oakland that 100 copies were
purchased at cost of S4 per volume.
Judge Ogden ended the case, as far as
the Superior Court of Alameda County is
concerned. by promptly overruling the
motion. The customary exception was
taken by the defendant. The case now
goes to the Supreme Court of the State
and will come up in July, when it is ex
pected that the case brought by ex-Attor-
ney-General Hart and the Davie- Dameron
suit will come before the court for final
adjustment. The city also has an appeal
upon this same case upon few points in
which the decision was adverse to the
city's interests.

with Winchester rifles will take their last
practice shoot at Shell Mound tomorrow.
For the past month the ranges at Shell
Mound have been literally patronized by
the Oakland men, and they will certainly
do with the rife when they meet their op-
ponents from across the bay.
The Oakland team consists of: Nick
Williams, D. w. Swain, ]. +. Sill, J. NJ.
Cockerton, Frank Schrader, C. E. Clarke,
W. Kingsbury, l.. E. Andrews. J. J. Nc
Carthy, H. G. Arrest. ]. f. Stahl and w.
T. Peterson will be taken in case of acci-
dent to any of the chosen shooters.
Much interest has been taken in the
match, and it is certain that the winning
team will have to do some fine shooting.
Williams, Swain and Andrews are crack
shots; but no one is doing any preIim-
mary horn-tooting for they realize that
the men across the bay are not noyices at
shooting.
The superstitious members of the local
force predict defeat because when the men
grouped this afternoon for their photo
graphs to be taken for THE CALL, there
were thirteen in the group. Prison Keeper
Swain is an old sailor, and consequently
superstitious. He it was who declared
that the word "topgallantsail" was spelled
with double app in the middle because
it would have been composed of thirteen
letters without it. Officer Sill, another
mem Der of the team, is also superstitious.
He persuaded the Chief of Police to change
his star from 13 to 45 because of the un-
luckiness of the number, and to this day
there is not star numbered Is in the de-
partment. When the fact was made
known that there were thirteen in the
group the sanguine faces of the team sud-
denly dropped, and they almost believed
dinner that will follow the match charged
up to them.
This afternoon there was a meeting of
the whole department, and it was agreed
that the cost of the ammunition that had
been used in practice, and of the banquet,
if the other fellows are not held response
bic for it, shall be borne by all the mem
bers and not be confined to the team
alone.

Judge Frick, who refused to have any,
thing more to do with the case.
They finally returned to the courtroom.
Here the Sheriff took a hand and turned
all out and locked the door. He proposed
to give all q free field and no favors.
After short consultation they sought
the office of Surveyor Nusbaumer. When
a decision was reached Root came out and
walked into the street. He was closely
followed by the police and as soon as the
man was clear of the courthouse he was
arrested. His attorney took him into the
building and had him swear to petition
already prepared, and presented it to
Judge Ellsworth for writ of habeas corpus.
The application was granted and made re-
turnable at 10 A. NJ. tomorrow.
Root was tbs assayer 1or the gold-bricR
trio and held fraudulent certificate from
the United States Mint. The police are
determined TO hold him.

Baron Rothschild and Blanco.

A good story is told of Guzman Blanco,
who was for many years dictator of Ven
ezuela. 1t is said that when he called
upon Baron de Rothschild in Paris TO
negoti ,te loan for the Government, he
remarked by way of compliment that he
was much honored by having an interview
with the holder of the richest banking
houses in the world.
"And / am honored," was the reply OF
the Baron, "by receiving call from the

Guzman, ':you are mistaken. / am not so

"But insist upon the truth of my asser-
ton that you are the richest man in the
world, for who else," exclaimed Roths-
child, s'has estates comprising 100000
square miles of territory? Who else has
an income of $37,000,000? Who has

What a Prospective Delegate in
the Second Ward Was
Told.
DENIALs OF Committeeman
Much Uncertainty Among the Two
Wings of Alameda County
Republicans.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL. !
G0S Rrnadwau Ma-ch oR

mild sensation was created today
when it became known that a man who
had been asked to serve as delegate to
the State Convention had been told that
the delegation would undoubtedly NOM
mate candidate for Congress.
Some of the ward clubs, among them
the Fifth, have named committees for the
purpose of conferring and trying to formu-
late plan that will succeed in upsetting
the contemplated selection of delegates by
the Alameda committeeman of the Third
District Congressional Committee.
One of the committeeman from the Fifth
Ward said to-day: '.It is very clear that
the delegates to the coming convention in
tend to foist candidate for Congress upon
us. We have been told that the ending of
the call, And for such other business, ETC.,
is merely formal and does not po ssess any
significance. We are accustomed to Just
such political tactics in Alameda County,
and we are prepared for them. A report
has just reached me that a prominent
Republican in the Second Ward
has been approached and asked to
serve as a delegate. He was told
that 1t would be part of his duty TO help
in nominating a Congressman. This ef-
fectually disposes of any doubt as to the
intentions of the committee of six who are
intending to run the Republican party of
this county during the coming campaign,
if we will permit them.
within the next few days the commit
tee appointed by the ward clubs will meet
aud it is the prevalent opinion that prima-
ries may be held. II primaries are not de-
cided upon the clubs will take no part in
the naming of delegates, and will leave the
committee of six to work out their own
destruction in their own way"
The Alameda committeeman of the
Third District deny that they have any
idea or right to interfere in the nomina-
tion of Congressman.
Committeeman Ingler says that it is
we'll understood among the members of
the committee that the Sacramento con-
yention was called for the sole purpose of
nominating delegates to the National Con-
vention at st. Louis. 81 am in favor, I"
said Mr.. Ingler to-day, 'of giving the Re-
publicans of this district full opportunity
to select their mem bers of the convention
that shall nominate a Congressman, at
primaries to be called in accordance with
law
Committeeman Morrison says that the
clause ''and for such other business as may
come before this convention" applies TO
the State Convention only.
E. K. Taylor of Alameda also says that
the fear that the delegates to Sacramento
will select Congressman is without foun-
dation

SOURCE OF THE X-RAY,
Berkeley University Professors
Believe They Have Dis
covered It.
Colds are in Deep Trouble Over
Basketball MatterS-An Opin.
ion on the Schools.

BERKELEY, CAL, March 26.-Profes-
sor Cory and Mr.. LIE Conte of the depart
ment of mechanics at the university, who
have been conducting for the most part
the experiments with the Roentgen ray,
believe that they are on the right road to
the discovery Of the true source of the X
ray. If their experiments prove the origin
of the rays discovery of Worldwide i'm
portance shall have been made by them.
1t has been the object of all the scientists
who have conducted xperiments,with the
ray to any extent to determine its source,
and no one is yet reported to have made
the progress toward that end which equals
the work done in the Berkeley laboratories
The results which have been attained by
Professor Cory and Mr.. lie Conte verify the
theories advanced by Lodge Porter, Hicks
and other English physicists that the
origin of the rays is where the negative
stream first impinges against the solid and
gives up its negative charge.
In an interview this afternoon Professor
Cory made the following statement with
regard to discovery, or at least the sup
posed discovery:
''On Monday we tried to locate the source
of the X-rays, and the result of our expert
ment seemed to verify the theory that has
been advanced by Lodge and Thompson
that the A-rayS seem TO De sent out not
from the cathode, but from the solid that
received the nevative charge from the
cathode. Many experimenters have found
that in the particular tube used the X-rays
seem to come from the anode; others that
the X-rays came from the fuorescent glass
From the results of the experiments in the
electrical laboratory of the State Univer-
sity it seems that the source of the X-rays
depends on the tube and the shape of the
electrodes. In other words, the X-rays
may come from the anode or the glass of
the tube.

veloped all of the plates, and the induction
coil used was made by r. w. Lohman, '9S

THERE Is NO TROUBLE.

Mrs. WoIfenden Explains the Affairs OF
the Y. w. c. A. Home.
OAKLAND, CAL. March 26.-The trouble
in the Young Women's Christian Associa-
tion Home is said to be the result of some
young ladies who prefer different rules to
those provided by Christian home.
Mrs. Wolfenden, the secretary, was seen
at the home to-day. She said: This is
neither reformatory nor prison. All per-
sons coming here can come or go as they
please, and If dissatisfied may go to the
matron, as to mother, and ask anything
within reason and get it. If they don't
like their treatment they can go some
where else. We never press them for their
board bill and always assist those out of
employment to get work. Our rules are
very simple. Lights in the parlors are
put out at 10 o'clock, but the girls can
keep their lights burning all night in their
own rooms if they so desire. The table is
always spoken of as exceedingly good by
all who drop in to lunch.
''All of this trouble has come from out
siders who lett some time ago and are
trying to get the matron out of her posi-
ton. She has always given excellent sat
isfaction and will be retained. Of course
we regret to have the good name OF the
institution assailed, but as it is only three
of the girls who are not in the home at
present l think it won't hurt much. F"

Under the circumstances we have decided
not to accept the con ntributions, and you will
please return the contracts already secured to
the subscribers.
In compliance with your request and as
recognition of your services we will supple
