PROF. HONIS0N REPLIES

Defense Made of His Position in
Relation to the R cent Philo-

BERKELEY, CAL. March 13. = Pro
fes or G>Nke Fl. II wilson, head of the
department of philosophy at the State
University, has written for the students
monthly magazine an article entitled
'Agnosticism and the Higher Human
Interests" i'll which he replies to various
criticisms of himself and his department,
passed during the recent controversy
aroused by the visit of DR.. William T.
Harris to the university.
Professor Howison states that the
University of California is not an excep-
ton in arousing the hostility of religious
persons. but that the leading institutions
of learning throughout the world are
made subject 20 similar denunciation
He believes that the prevailing though

The struggle for the presidency of the
council is just now very interesting w.
r. Pringle, the youngest member OF the
board. has FIVE votes. William Heitman
also has five, and there Is warm contest
for the eleventh man, whose vote will de-
eide the struggle.
Will Pringle is an entirely new man in
Oakland politics and was proposed for
president almost before tn. votes were
counted. He has good support, but there
is feeling that a man who has had some
experience in the council chamber should
be accorded the honor. Mr.. Pringle s
friends do not think the lack of political
experience should operate against his
chances. They assert that young man
of legal training. education and marked
intelligence is quite as capab e of presii-
ing over he deliberations of the council
as man who has been in that body sew
eral years.
If there be '.logicap' candidate for the
Office it is Con Brosnahan, who has been
returned by the people iour times as
Councilman. Mr.. Brosnahan, however,
stated to-day that he would not accept
the osition, as he derives far more satis-
faction from being on the floor of The
Couucil. Tie president has little respon-
sibiity except in the case of castinc
vote, for he cannot act on any comm ttee
and his duties are entirely executive. For
this reason, it is argued, young man is
as good as an old one.

Casey's story that the other men had
nothing to do with the burglaries at the
tannery.
In the robbers cabin was found q piece
OF rope of the same make and size as that

Melrose last Tuesday. The men are all
known criminals, and it will now probably
appear that they were the three men who
assaulted Airing.
Red Jackman was arrested once before
while in company with Hobo Bill Jones,
now in San Quentin. Jackman narrowly
escaped prosecution some time ago on a
charge of holding up a station agent at
Mountain View, Santa Clara County.
An investigation to-day showed that the
thieves have complete system of OBJ
tanning and disposing of their goods.
They have well-rigged boat in the estu.

in one OF the piratical raids. Casey stated
that it was in this boat the stolen leather
was taken to San Francisco, and there is
no dou bt in the minds of the pol CO that
this is but one of many crimes committed
by the gang.
Casey has already been charged with
burglary and the other men will be held

Benzine and paint in large quantities
furnished the material for large fire on
the water front this afternoon. A little
after O. clock flames were discovered in
the Malthine Paint Works on First street,
near Castro, and owing to the nature of its
contents the fire seemed to break out from
all parts of the building at once.
The direct cause is not known, though
it was stated by one Of the foremen that
it might have originated through careless
ness of employees. AS soon as the general
alarm was turned in. it was seen that
nothing could be done to save the paint
works. and the entire efforts were directed
to saving the adjoining properly. The
works were located on the wIndward side
OF block of factories, and as there was a
fresh breeze blowing there was danger for
long time that the fire would work
through the block.
The department experienced much diff
Guilty in fighting the flames on account of
the nature of the material in the works.
The dense smoke was carried to the lee
side of the paintshops. and as that is the
only side on which any practical work
could be done the fremen were at great
disadvantage. A few cottages next to the
WORKS were partially destroyed. and for
some time the flames almost reached the
Phoanix Iron Foundry, but some streams
were directed to the roof, and they sue
ceeded In protecting the iron foundry
until the fire in the paint works was en-.
tireIy under control.
While the fire was in progress the large
crowd was startled by hearing shot fred,
and many thought there was an explosion.
This was not the case. A police officer
caught sight of poor cat that had been
fea fully burned, and he ended its suffer.
ings with bullet.
Four tanks containing 500 gallons of
benzine mixture fed the flames when
once they started, and while the men
were at work close to the building Two
small tanks of gasoline exploded, wreck
ing the rear of the bulling, but doing no
ther damage.
The loss to the> paint works is about
$4,000. Two little cottages owned by Rob-
erI KefZel, which were not occupied were
damaged about $780, while the damage to
the roof OF the Phoenix Iron Foundry is
very slight Several small stores and
buildings in the vicinity were damaged in
the aggregate probably thousand dol.

The only accident reported was that of
Manager Kuhiman of the paint works,
who, when he saw the store in flames. cut
his hand severely while getting out
through the front window.
few sparks from the paintshop started
a blaze in building block away and an
engine was told off to put it ont which it
did in few minutes with practically no

The ladies of the Masonic order have
planned grand entertainment at the
Masonic Temple on behalf of the orphan
age al Decoto.
In making the arrangements for their
programme, which is to occupy next
Monday and Tuesday nights, the ladies
have adopted an Eastern custom, some
what new on the coast and entirely new
TO Oakland. 1t is the introduction OF a
corps of lady minstrels. The programme
contains the names of twenty-five ladies
Do who viii make jokes and patronize burnt
!, cork for the cause OF charity, but who are
striving to conceal their identity.
One of the chief points of interest in the
entertainments will be the disguises of the
lady jokers. Alex. Rosborough, c. L.
Pierce, Sterling Carl and Mr.. Daven port
are the end men and the other "men" are
the twenty-tvo ladies, who are just now
engaged in practicing for their first ap-
, pearance,
Mrs, Frank Pierce, matron of the local
lodge of the Order Eastern Star, is in
charge of the entertainment and with
her committee is working hard on the
programme. All kinds of surprises are
promised and the ladies nave actually
poneso far as to pledge that there shall
be some entirsly new jokes. AS none of
these bonmots have been heard in Oakland
Tor many years, this promise of the ladies
Will certainly attract every lover of
laugh in the citv.
The Masonic Home at Decoto is now be.
ing tuilt and in order 10 have everything
IN readiness for the reception of orphans
as soon as possible, there is need of big
increase of the available funds and il is
Tor this purpose that the ladies are WORK
ing.
This idea of lady minstrels," said Mrs.
Pierce to-day, should prove decided
hit. 1t has been tried with success IN the
East and has even been given in churches
there. The ladies' are working hard, but
they are very nervous about the public
discovering just who they are. In the
programm me they appear as Maria Snow
bail, Cpalblaok Beauty, Hannah Lamp
black, Black Patti. Sadie Gumbo and
similar characters.
"Some of the costumes of the ladies will
be original and startling, and, IN fact, we
are doing all in our. power 10 give an exhi-
bition that will be decidedly unique, be-
cause we want our efforts to be thoroughly

nance to the voters-that Is, the voters of
each precinct are to be askei to declare
for or against the licensing of any saloons
in that precinct. After examining the
ground. the liquor-dealers have concluded
tnat this is the most vulnera BILE point and
they will accordingly attack the ordinance
under which it Is proposed to make this
submission to the people as unconstitu-
tional.
The contest will be orened ON their part
next Monday at i he meeting of the Board
OF Trustees, when M. P Wiggin, their at.
torney. will open the ball. They are quite
confident that their view is correct and
that the precinct plan OF submission will
not be sustained.
There are rumors of the proposed intro
duction of an ordinance in the Board of
Trustees regulating the speed at which
trains may be run within the city limits.
At present Alameda is in parts OF two

that the place is neglected. Many people
