band Peter is on trial in thes Superior
Court. Dorothea has seen more than

Quinchard issues an open letter to-day in
which he calls attention TO the Municipal
Ownership Clubs card published exclus-
lively in yesterdays CALL and accuses them
of moving heaven and earth to perpetu-
ate the present iniquitous system of light
ing the streets of Alameda" He then
adds:
that the great public is merely collection of
asses who will blindly follow their behests
In these eight years the electric light has cost
us 5000, 900, or $25, 900 year, figure which
is big enough to stagger any fair-minded per-
son, as the Oakland Gas, Light and Heat Com
pany offered over and over again to light the
city at about one-third OF the present cost.
But then they say that company is great
corpora tom (of course greedy; but II said
corporation will furnish the same light to the
city at SO much lower figure, then never mind
what you call it-any thing to release US from
the incubus of our electric-Gght plant.

club submit the controversy to vote of

instead of 10 to 5. The game and
its outcome has greatly stirred college
circles, also leading to the arrest of NJ.
s. Harmon, a law student in the KAN
sas university, and his confinement in
the county jail
Harmon, it is alleged, was stake
holder in many bets and refused to
turn over the money. The warrant
for his arrest charged wagering on
a game of chance" but this, it is
claimed, was simply a subterfuge to
hold him. Money held by him was to-
day replevined and late tonight Har-
mon was released. He says, however,
he will remain and fight the case in the
courts.
The arrest of Student Harmon is the
outcome of an attempt to stop the pay
ment on his bets on the result of the
game. Harmon had $165 Wagered at
odds of to 1. AS soon as the game
was over he hurried to a Justices Of
fee and got an attachment for the
money he had put up. There is an an
ti-gambling law in Nebraska, and as
the men who would have won would be
compelled to prove in court that the
money Harmon had put up belonged to
them before it could be turned over,
they would necessarily furnish the ev-
idence to convict themselves of vio-
lating the law.
His arrest is an attempt to get even
and force a compromise. It is believ-
ed that he will consent to withdraw
his attachment suit and that the
charges against him will be dismissed.
