the pride among the hunters of the upper
end of the county. One cause of this is
his open-handed generosity. He lives
with his father, retired San Francisco
leweler, and gives away all the birds he
does not want for his own use. Every body
in the valley is indebted to Frank for
game and if it is proved that his record for
the season is the highest a championship
medal will be provided. AS Alameda
County boasts of hundreds of first-class
hunters Mr.. Hoefling will undoubtedly
lind many to contest the cham pionship.
Last Sunday H. Peterman of Mount
Eden and Frank Hoef1ing shot over the
Mount Eden marshes and brought home
DIT birds.
There are places in the marshes" said
Frank to-day, where there are fresh-water
springs that are known to very few, and it
is on these spots that the birds are found
in great numbers. The clubs that main
tain expensive shooting preserves in Sui
sun Bay and around Mare Island are only
wasting their money. There is better
shooting to be had on the marshes in Ala
media County than IN any other part OF the
State. | am anxious to know if 1 hold the
record. Much interest has been shown in
the number of birds taken by various local
sportsmen, but | have the figures and
places TO show just where made my kill
ings, and l think they will be hard to
beat"
Robert Boyer, president of the Mallard
Club, says that Mr.. Hoefing's estimate is
rather high. Understanding is something
like fishing" said Mr.. Boyer. "Of course
we all know Frank is a great hunter, but I
guess he'll hear from a good many of his
friends over his claim of 1000 for this sea-
son up to date. That is big heap of birds,
and can't help thinking OF the old story
of the cats in the backyard"

A MYSTERY DISPELLED,
Oakland Gas, Light and Heating
Company Bought That
Stock.
Total Reorganization of the Board.
Fred Fouzo's Horse and Buggy
in a Forced Sale.

BERKELEY, CAL. Jan. 6.-The cloud
of mystery which has been han ing
over the Berkeley Electric Lighting Com
to- night, when it was announced that the
Oakland Gas, Light and Heating Com
panv was the institution which had re-
Gently been buying up all the available
stock of the local corporation.
TIE last straw which would give the new
institution the controlling interest in the
concern was added last Saturday when
it purchased 1900 shares from w. E.
Sell. This gives the Oakland company
nearly 5000 of the 10000 shares of the cor
poration.
A total reorganization of the concern
took place to night. The old board of
directors, with the exception of Arson S.
Blake, resigned. The new board elected
was as follows: President, john A. Brit
ton secretary of the Oakland Gas, Light and
Heat Company; j. w. Coleman, president
oil the same company; Joseph J. Mason,
A. f. Eastland and Arson S. Blake.
When asked as to the policy which would
govern the movements of the new COM
pany President Britton said
I'VE cannot say in detail at the present
time Just what shall be done, but il shall
be our object to push the business of the
com oany for all it is worth. The same
policy which has actuated the other COM

The reverend gentleman draws an awful
picture of the moral depravity of the Ala
media clubs, which the members OF the
only club there do not think is at all
warranted. Their rules are strict as to
gam bling; it is absolutely prohibited.
There is never any abuse of the bar priv

At last evenings services at the Brook

was adopted and was forwarded to the

day:
The people OF Brooklyn Presbyterian Church.
assembled in the house of God for worship
deeply moved by the unchecked atrocities
which are desolatlng Armenia, pray that Con-
gress may take some action which will bring to
speedy end the murders that have sent q
thrill of horror throughout Christeudom. We
are encouraged that such action will be taken
because of the explicit declarations of the
President OF the United States in his message
TO Congress that the administration had used
all means in its power to protect life in
Armenia.
In the language of Dr. Behrends we ask for
no otticious interference in European politics.
We appreciate the gravity of the situation and
the self-restraint to which our relations bind
US. We do ask that the flag of the Republic
shall be respected by the Sultan, and that
under ii every American citizen shall be safe
in his lawful work. We also ask that the M
tional Government, by the use of all legitimate
means. continue to protest, in the name of
humanity, against the criminal Indifference
and inaction Of the Ottoman court, and en-
courage, by its expressed moral sympathy,
such action by the European powers as will
speedily ana permanently terminate what is
aptIy described in the message of the Presi-
dent as "fanatical brutality"
We are lovers OF peace, but we love humanity
more. The anguish of the innocent and help
less pierces our very hearts, and we cannot
pass over in silence the nameless atrocities
which threaten an ancient and brave race with
extinction. We pray most fervently tina. the
sword may not be unsheatbed in a continental
war, but we cannot be silent when pillage and
carnage are defiant, and the Gland OF the free a"
which is also the 'fhome of the brave" wanting
neither in physical nor moral courage, must
proclaim the gospel OF humanity in the ears of
all the world.
We beg that ships bearing the American
flag and freighted with provisions may De
placed al the disposal of persons duly author
lied to bear the same to suffering Armenia.

Ell N|OO CLUB IS ASSA|LED
A Sermon by Rev. Mr.. Bovard
Which Had a Local Ap-
plication.
He Referred to a Club Ladies' Night
in Terms Which Will Be
Resented.

ALAMEDA, Call, Jan. 6.-Rev. f. D.
Bovard has stirred Alameda up to an un-
usual extent by prelude to his sermon
Sunday night on "Mantraps." The man
trap which he spoke of was the fashion
able club, which he continually referred
to in the plural as though Alameda had a
multitude Of them. AS a matter of fact.
Alameda has but one club, and it is per-
fectly well understood that his denuncia-
tons we're all leveled at that institution.
Alameda's single club is called Ell Nido
and has been in existence for two wears,
1t has rooms in Masonic Block. There is
a side board where refreshments are served
to members. There is also billiard table
and several whist layouts Whist is the
chief diversion of the members, who num-
Der some OF the best residents of Alameda.
On Saturday, December %, the club gave
what is called ladies night" at which
q programme was rendered and merry
making was INDUCED in. Many ladies'
wives and friends of the mem ers-were
present, and verything was decorous. It
was this gathering that started the Rev.
Mr. Bovard on his crusade. On New
Years day, while the steward was tempo
rarily absent from the clubroom, the Rev.
Mr.. Bovard walked in and was found sur
veying the premises when the steward re-
turned. From that visit he was able to
describe the .'oaken furniture" with which
private clubs are furnished and generally
to draw picture of the interior of these
resorts.
There is no other club in Alameda. The
club idea has never thrived here, several
institutions of the kind having died con-
sequently the shafts of denunciat on are
understood to be leveled at the one that is
now struggling against an uncongenial
atmosphere.
Rev. Mr.. Bovard refers to his mantraps
as ''gilded dens OF lnfamy, dominated by
jockeys and dandies'' as lust the kind of
moral miasma IN which frogs, lizards and
snakes thriye"i of gam bling on the part of

AN ANTI-DAVIE NIGHT.
The Council Takes Up Police Depart
ment and Street Matters.

The Council Takes Up Police Depart
ment and Street Matters.
OAKLAND, CAL, Jan. 6.-The Council
held an anti-Davie night this evening.
Chief of Police Lloyd sent communica-
ton saying that his prisoners were
suffering from the cold weather and
could not get out of their beds in
the daytime because OF their not
having clothes. The Chief said that
he had received notice three weeks ago
that resolutions granting supplies had
been passed by the Board of Works, and
that the Mayor had neglected to sign
them. IN consequence the department
was in a dilemma and was seriously inn
aired in its work. Chief Lloyd said that
he had tried to induce the Mayor to do his
duty. but that official had been spending
his time in criticizing the Police Depart
ment in the newspapers and had neglected
to attend to his duties.
Instead of signing the acquisitions"
said Chief Lloyd "the Mayor sends his
man kaufman around to see if he consid-
cred such things necessary after l, as,Chief
of the department, had decided that they
were" Chief Lloyd asked that the Coun-
Gil pass a resolution authorizing him to
obtain the supplies independent OF the
Mayor. The resolution passed and its
passage marked a new method of working
independent of the Mayors office. This
IS the first time any requlsition has been
TINS ordered.
Another lively argument was had over
the lack OF funds TO pay the street laborers.
The Council refused to transfer any money
from the general fund to the street fund
and several speeches were made de-
nounclng the dollar-taX limit as being alto
gether too small to run the city govern
ment. AS matters stand at present the
Iaborers cannot be paid, and they have no
alternative but to file their warrants and
wait until MAY for their money.
Councilman Brosnahan created a small
sensation by introducing resolution call
ing attention to the rivalry between the
two water companies and asking that the
city. take advantage of it. He said that
private owners were getting water at big
cuts below the rates fixed by the Council
and that thousands of dollars could be
saved by the city seeking like reduction.
A resolution was passed authorizing the
calling of bids to supply all the municipal
buildings and schools. This is another
new departure inauguratee tonight.
The Privy Council of Great Britain
though formerly possessed of great power,
is chiefly employed at present in delibera-
tons on affairs OF sudden emergency, on
peace and war, and special provinces OF
the royal prerogative. The members are
chosen ny the sovereign, and on changes
OF administration are seldom erased
though those in oppos ton never attend.
