DR.. M'LEAN IS
AGAIN AT WAR
Another Battle Fought Over
the Tidal Canal Ques-

Oakland Says Alameda Cannot
Abide by It's Own Agree

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL. |
908 Broadway, July T.

The controversy over the Improvement
ofOak!a and harbor reached ano;her stage
today, when the SUI ervisors passed some
Ieso. utions introduced by Health Officer
Mclean of Alameda.
There was a very stormy time before
the board for scme hours. DR.. Mclean
and City Engine Poyser of Alameda
represented the other side of the estuary
and Edson Adams, NJ. ]. Keller, Jerry
Tyrrell and J. H. w. Sohst champ pioned
the cause from OokIand's standpoint.
Dr. Mclean said the Alameda people
desired the completion of the tidal canal
as soon as poss BILE because OF its present
unsatisfactory condition. n. J. Keller re-
cited the history of the trouble over tie
harbor and charged that the Alamedans
had exaggerated the unsanltary condition
OF their end of the estuary, and that no
sickness had ever been occasioned by the
canal. 1--WE are perfectly willing hat the
old order OF things on which we all agreed
should be continued" said Mr.. Keller.
I'VE have been spending the past year
trying to undo the mistakes of the Ala
media gentlemen. We want the natural
condition of affairs to prevail and want
no interference with the Government
plans
A resolution adopted in November, 1896
was read, in which Oakland Joined with
Alameda in requesting the immediate
completion of Oakland harb7r west of
Webster-street bridge, ana then the i'm
provement east of the bridge. DIR. DC
Lean commenced to read from an old
report of Colonel Mendell, but was stop
ped by Edison Adams, who said the doctor
was misrepreSenting matters by reading
from old report that had been sue
Ceeded by a newer one from Colonel Men
dell.
Colonel Suffers report stated that the
tidal canal was an Improvement that
could be easily dispensed with, ana he
favored the dredging and Improvement of
the harbor in order to permit the entrance
of vessels.
E. c. Sessions made a spirited speech
and was very bitter over the tventy-three
years of delay in conclu6ing the harbor.
He stated that Colonel Suffer and others
were opposed 10 the building of the tidal
canal deeming IT a useless expenditure
OF money. Mr.. SOhst made some pointed
rem arks, and Tor half an hour there was
a very excitable conversation. Finally,
however, 20 the great Indignation of the
Oakland committee, the resolutions intro
duced bY DR.. Mclean were passed. The
resolutions make a recommend alton to
the War Department for the i'm prove |
ment OF the baTbor west o Webs bster-street i
bridge and east of Sessions BASIN This |
leaves out the middle of the har Dor, on |
the shores of which are large wharves
and coal bunkers which need a deep
wafer channel in order to encourage COM

DURRANT ON A SCREEN
Animatoscope Pictures Of Him
Taken at San Quen-
tin.
A New scheme to Defray the Expense
of His Appeal to the Supreme
Court.

Victims OF a morbid curiosity will soon
be given an opportunity OF indui ,ing
their pas ion by seeing Theodore Durrant
through the medium of the animato-
scope.
A few DAYS ago permission was asked OF
the Warden at San Qnentin to take Dur
rants picture. There is stringent rule
ut the prison which forb visitors bring
ing Photographic apparatus inside the
walls
70 overcome this difficulty it was neces-,
sary 10 obtain special order from the
Prison Directors. This was done, and
yesterday morning Durranrs father, John
f. Curley and an animatoscope operator
presented themselves at San Quentin.
Durrant had rehearsed his part in the
mornings drama, and the whole affair
was over in a short time.
NJ st of the pictures taken were Of the
kind showing animated scenes, and Dur
rant appears in a variety OF attitudes.
The films will be sent East to De devel-
oped, and within month the pictures
will be ready for exhibition.
Great secrecy has been maintained by
all parties interested in the affair, and it
IS doubtful if the prison officials were
aware of the full intentions of the ami
matoscope people.
Durrant's object in having these pic
lures taken is understood to be TO make
money sufficient to defray the expenses of
his appeal now pending before the Su-
preme Court ot the United States, and if
the prison officials do not object phono-
graphic messages and animatoscopic
scenes OF Durrant may be expected with
regularity.
The films are the joint property of the
animatoscope company, John F. Curley
and w. II. 7. Durrant, but just what the
learned.

Louis SMITH
Is AT WHITTIER
Has Been Before the Pub
lie on a Variety of
Occasions.
Became Prominent as a Witness
in the May Quill Damage
Suit.
Beat His Blind Grandfather, but
His Pull Did Not
Work.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL,


90S Broadway, July Z.
Louis Smith, the sem crippled son OF a
blind man, has at last been sent to Whit
tier. He has been before the public for
many years in various characters, and a
sharper youth has never lived in this city.
Louis lived with blind father at Third
and Madison streets. Many times he has
been arrested for violating the law, but
every time ne has managed to escape pun
ishment. His luck in freeing himself
from difficulties was greatly depiored by
his father and grandparents. who lived in
terror of the boy. His final act was to
give his aged grandfather a severe beat
ing, because the infrm oil mali had re-
monstrated with him for some miscon-
duct.
Colonel Dimpfel of the ChiIdren's So
clety hen took hand in the m after and
saw TO it that young Smith could do no
more harm for some time.
About two years ago Louis made an ap-
peal to the railroad officials for free
transportation. 1t was granted him be-
cause of his pathetic story of the blind
father ana consumptive mother and
whole houseful of starving brothers and
sisters.
His pass entitled him TO free rides any
where within twenty-five miles of Oak
land. He rarely went farther than San
Francisco, ostensiby to peddle small arti-
cles. but In reality 10 beg from sympa-
thetic people. He frequently said that a
profit OF less than So day was not worth
locking for. As the bog for time was
the sole bread winner OF the family his
acts were always condoned.
Some months ago Louis attained noto-
-iety by appearing as witness against
the railroad company in the damage case
brought by Mr.. Quill for the killing of his
young daughter at Berkeley. Smith stated
that he fatality was the result of careless
ness. He was accused of erjury by the
defense, but nothing came OF the affair,
except hat his free transportation was
stopped.
He was descr bed in a San Francisco
aper as great hero, and since that time
he became boider. When arrested for his
last crime he lau hlngly said: It's all
right, gentlemen; Pli come out as 1
always do" He was however, quickly
convicted and sent to Whittier.

WASHING A FINE ART.

"Ever since spinning was type OF
womanly industry from age to age, it has
been expected that beautiful apparel should
clothe women. From the classic robes of
Aspasia to the rich dresses of Elizabeth,
and thence to the wedding gown of Pur-
itan Priscilla we see the attractiveness OF
dress" But at this time only has it be-
come possible for all women to be becom.
ingly attired at small cost, the supply OF
beautiful inexpensive dress fabrics now to
be had, making it all easy matter: Yet
there are women who insist that the ex.
pense of having summer gowns laundered
is greater than the original cost, and that
in the end light woolens or summer silks
are more economical. This is a mistaken
idea, as washing pretty belongings is fine
art, which is very easy to learn. Any girl
no matter how delicately reared can wash
her own summer gown. A bright day,
plenty of water, and a little pure soap are
the necessary aids in the work. To do it,
fill tub two-thirds full of warm water,
dissolve fourth of cake of Ivory Soap,
(Which will not fade the most delicate
colors), add it to the water, wash the gar
ments carefully through it, rinse first in
clear water, then in blue water, wiring,
dip in thin starch, hand on the line in the
shade. When dry, sprinkle, and iron on
wrcn0 side. Eliza r, Parker.
