FRAMING A
CHARTER IN
CONFUSION
Elocution Piling a White
Horse Pass in the Path
Of the Committee.
Six Sections Adopted After
Three Solid Hours of Hard
Discussion.
Considerable That Was Unoompli
mentary Was Said About the
Supervisors.

The charter committee of 100 met in
Native Sons Hall last night in committee
of the Hhole, a whole which was divided
against itself in the ratio of two-thirds
against one-third. Owing 70 a plethora of
eocution there was considerable circum-
locu ion in the manner in which bu mess
was done, that is, what little there was OF
it. Sections of the report of the commit
tee on legislation were dissected by philo-
logists, keenly scanning supposed subtle
meanings designed 10 ruin the morals OF
and loot he property OF the people, and,
after the aforesaid sections had been dis.
EN- boweled and embalmed ready for the
graveyard OF the Supreme Court, they
were declared adopted as amended"
The committee began with section 3
and there was quite a verbal bullfight
over the clause declaring no person elig-
ibe to act as Supervisor "who shall have
been convicted OF any infamous crime or
who shall have been removed from any
municipal office by the Mayor or by judi
ciaI proceedings, and such conviction dur
ing his term of Office shall cause forfeit
ure of is seat iE said board"
After some debate the words "by the
Mayor or" were stricken out and the words
''for malfeasance in office" were ad ed
after the words ''judic al proceedings
Then the committee went on and
adopted the sections, including the ninth,
and as it was then IL o'clock they ad-
iourned until tomorrow night.
There were many funny t inGs in the
de bates, although the speakers seemed to
be terribly in earnest. The present Board
OF Supervisors came in for whack when
ever anything was said about any Super
visors at ALL. Thus Mr.. Cuth bertson
moved to strike out the word 'contem pit
uous" "becluse nobody could help show
ing contempt for the present board"
In the midst OF the proceedings l.. r.
Ellert created spasm of horror by NOV
ing TO restrict the speakers tc two min
utes each, but the time was raised to five
minutes in short order.
you can't remove Supervisors for TAX
ing bribes from the Spring Valley Water
Company, and how can you expect to re-
move them for asking the Street Superin-
tendent or contractor to give friend a
job" said J, ]. Dwyer.
Charles Wesley Reed remarked that
useless men were appointed and kept in
City offices by the influence OF Supervi-
sors, who returned the favor with their
votes on appropriations
"I have seen the officers and other lead
ing men of whole church go to certain
department of the City government and
ask that department to support incompe-
tent PERSONS said Madison Babcock. He
opposed the striking out of that clause in
the section prohibiting Supervisors from
soliciting other City officers or contractors
to give employment to their friends.
Mayor Phelan quietly remarked that
there ought to be something in the char
ter prohibiting Supervisors asking con-
tractors to find places for the Supervisors.
When II o'clock came the committee
rose, reported and adjourned.

POLICE AS SOLICITORS.
Sale of Tickets for the Widows and
Orphans Entertainment Has Been
Very Large


The box-office will be open at the Cali
fornia Theater this morning for the pur-
pose of permitting purchasers of tickets
for the entertainment in behalf of the
Widows and Orphans AID Association of
the Police Department to exchange them
for reserved seats.
The sale of tickets has exceeded the
most sanguine expectations of Captain
Whitman and his committee of arrange
ments. Ten thousand were sold up to
Saturday last and $500 more were printed
and distributed, and a large number OF
them have already been disposed of. No
more tickets will be sold than necessary
so that every purchaser can be accom-
modatei.
Mayor Phelan and Police Commission
ers Tobin and Alvord have each taken a
box for the season, and all the boxes and
loges have been sold for the opening
night.
The piece to be presented is "Men and
Women" by the Frawley company. The
Police Choral Society will, between the
acts, render choruses, quartets and solos,
and a klnetoscope drill of the police on
Van Ness avenue will be shown on a white
curtain. The ii ures will be life size.
The police have worked wita a will to
make the affair a financial success, and,
so far, they have been more than sue
cessful.

ONE RAIL WAS REMOVED
Railroad Detectives Suspect
That Four Men Did the

Owing to a MisoalCulation the Pla1

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL,

OSO ID OdN W haS, Ok pI. &.
A very carefully laid attempt to either
wreck or hold up a train was made at
Morrano, between Tracy and Crows
Landing, on Saturday night, and has
been reported at the pier by the tram
men.
In lonely portion of the road the en-
gineer of t e Los Anaeles express saw a
big bonfire on the track and was COM
PEELED to stop. He realized at once that
the train was held and the trainmen
prepared to withstand ali attack on the
Wells Fargo car, which con ntained about
$2500 To their surprise, however, no
assault was made and the train -wreckers
and robbers had evidently made some
miscalcula ZION. 1t was found that one of
The rails had been wrenched out of place
and a large mum Der OF ties placed on the
track. The track was cleared and the
rail replaced after which the train pro-
ceedei.
A couple of railroad detectives have
been working on the case for the last two
davs and have couple OF men under sus-
picion. There are more connected with
the crime, and the detectives are planning
TO get them all covered before making any
arrests. They are in possession of evil
dence which makes IL absolutely certain
that the design of the perpetrators was to
hold up the train. The point where the
ire was seen IS a lonely spot, with no
houses nearer than a mile. The track
makes curve at the point. SO that the
train j. shut out as 1t passes around it. II
is the best spot from a robbers point of

Her husband was awakened this morning
by hearing a shot, and on looking at his

906 Broadway, Sept. Z.
Judges f. 3. Ogden and S. P. Hall rem
dered a decision to-day declaring that the
Justices courts of Berkeley have n juris-

rendered in a case of assault with a
deadly weapon, and the de;endants brief

illegal.
Judge Hall delivered the opinion and
said: I'VE have come to the conclusion
that the original act creating the Justices
Court in the original charter of Berkeley
was repealed by the adoption of the free
holders charter, and we are obliged to
find that the last act attempting to create
a Justices Court is invalid. We are
obliged to come to the conclusion that
the decision of the Supreme Court govern

here, and that there IS no Justices Court
for the town Of Berkeley or any Justices
of the town of Berkeley. The motion will
be granted to dismiss the informal
There are several cases hanging on this
decision, all OF which will necessarily be

The question has now been raised as to
whether marriages performed by the
Berkeley justices are legal. Under the
former laws of the State it would be legal,
because the parties having lived together
as husband and wife and acknowledged
each otner as such, wOu by such later
acts be independent of the actual cere-
