matter was one of great moment. An
organized fight was made on both sides
and the battle was very keen. 1t was
evident that there was some mon ey avail
able for campaign purposes, for dozens of
carriages were chartered 10 save ters the
annoyance of walking. OF these carriages
about three out OF four were pIacarded
ahu-anhe1auon' showing that there
was evidently some strong opposition to
the scheme.
Badges were freely distributed by both
parties, and although there was supposed
to be no beer sold, it was verv evident that
there was a supply somewhere within
reach.
In TemescaI, Major Pico, he of Legisla-
lure cialm fame, was eagerly fighting
annexation. He SAID that if Greater
Oakland did not materialIze, il would be
partly the fault of Governor Budd. "If
ne hao signed the claim" said Pico, II
Wouio De able to pay the extra taxes, and
would not have fought the measure"
george W. Morrow, Charles Bon, W. w.
hnlcKerbocker, G. w. Naismith and other
me oers OF the Annexation League were
on hand and were harJ at work through
out the day, seeing that every voter who
favored annexation had an opportunity
10 90 so. The league put in a very busy
uay, but 1t was needed to offset the work
of the ants.
Most OF the inmates of the Blind Home
voted against annexation and nearly all
the carmen on the big Grove and Tele-
graph avenue systems were in favor of it,
though 1t is difficult to tell what actuated
either body of men.
county Treasurer Sanford donned an
anti badge and put in the day at Peralta
opposing annexation. The election in all
precincts passed off very quietly and but
little challenging was done on the outside,
while in the city the officers spent most
OF the day yawning and gaping.

lion of annexation showed that majority
of the voters both in the city and the
northern district favored the union of the
two territories As soon as the necessary
form aIities are disposed of Oakland will
add about II 600 to her population and
about So 600, 900 TO her assessed value.
The movement originated few months
ago George w. Morrow was one of the
very first to propose il, and he was soon
ioined by Charles Bon, w. w. Knicker-
hooker. G. w. Naismith and others and
the campaign was started. These gentle
men and their associates formed an An
nexation League and much vigorous, sys-
tematic work was done.
One OF the chief incentives of the
aunexers was the wretched system OF sew
ers that exists and that becomes worse
everv wear in the district The rapidly de-
yeIoning territory has also suffered I'M
mensely from fires, and protection from
this danger was also desired.

Morrow tonight, land we are satisfied.
1t has been a campaign OF educating the
.peonle to see what annexation means,
and had we had another month the ma
ioritv would have been much larger.
Wbsn we started out we found many
reonIe who were iaboring under deIuslons

When the facts were placed before them

the public to proper knowledge of tuber-
culosis. DR.. Herrick scores the Health
Board for its action to-day, and the board
declares that the result of the exhibition
justified its methods.
The Board OF Health held q reception
this afternoon and it could not have been
been a free rose show.
The reception settled once for all the
question of whether the people at large
take an interest in hygienic measures, es-
pecially concerning the sources of the pub
lie milk supply.
The only attraction offered by the health
officials was dead COW hung up in va
cant store. The animal had been slaugh-
tered because of a suspicion that it was
affected with tuberculosis. The results
prove the correctness of the diagnosis.
After the killing an autopsy was held in
the presence OF large mum ber OF doctors
and city officials, and all were astonished
that cow even as sicklv looking as the
one that paraded the streets yesterday
could live at all in such an advanced stage
OF disease.
Some OF the affected organs were placed
on exhibition Dy themselves surrounded
with ice, and all the afternoon a continual
stream OF people passed IN and out of the
store saw for themseIves the effect of
tuberculosis, and were treated to an inter-
estlng running commentary on the evils
OF the disease by the health officials, who
constituted the reception committee.
large mum ber of visitors were ladies
and by the interest shown and the expe-
rience gained it is very evident that the
City Council will lie petitioned, if neces-
sary, to at once pass the contemplated
ordinance
DR.. L. f. Herrick roundly condemns the
display Of to-day and this evening he
made public a statement, from which the
following Is an extract:
Allow me to say that out of the many phvsi-
clans we have in California only Jew OF
them can use the microscope, and II is only by
the use of that instrument we can determine
this dreaded disease. You may as well invite
hog TO participate in the Joys of heaven as
10 invite the public to scientifically witness a
case OF tuberculosis
What is the object of killing the COW that
has been tested and found to be injected with
the tubercular germ? 1t is TO try to blot out
OF existence that disease that has caused so
taking an animal that has this infectious is
ease and parading the public streets? Can
this be done by placing the animal in pu bile
place ana allowing the public to witness the
post N mortem2 | think not.
What effect does this have on public mfndsr
1t is well known that fri ght has caused as MANY
deaths as disease, and by this unwise act they
have frightened into an early grave manvwho
may have a slight affection OF the lungs and
who by proper care and treatment could get
en- tireIy well.
There are many objections to this latest way
OF demonstrating disease. II We cannot place
confidence in our scientific investigators how
is the public TO know? Can man who knows
nothing about disease determine? Ii So of
what good is science?
l hope the people of Oakland will rise in q
body and condemn such actions.

a Lodge OF Modern Trojans Which Pro-
poses to Leave That Order.
ALA MEDIA, CAL, June 10-Some time
ago lodge of an order bearing the eu-
phonious appellation of Modern Trojans
was instituted in this city with quite a
flourish OF trumpets. The order is q COM
naratively new one and had its origin in
Alameda County. Congressman Hilborn
is the president, Assessor Dalton, treas
urer, and F. K. Mott, auditor. 1t is one
OF the orders which have become SO fami-
liar during the past ten or dozen years
a com bination of asses sment insurance
and social features. For some reason the
local branch did not seem TO thrive after
its organization, and now the parties who
were instrumental in getting it up propose
10 transfer the whole thing bodily to an
other society of similar object and char
acter, called the United Artisans. This
latter association has its headquarters in
Portland, Or, and meeting will be held
this evening for the purpose of taking the
necessary steps to convert the Modern
Troians into Artisans of the m ost united

Attorney Langan Acquitted by
a Jury in a Haywards
Court.
Adam Mays Ornaments Were Torn
Out By Some One Other Than
His Old Friend.


908 Broadway, June 10.
Attorney George s. Langan was ac-
quilted to-day in the Justice Court at
Haywards of the charge OF pulling q
handful of whiskers from the chin of
Adam May.
The trouble that caused the suit oc-
Cured several months ago. May and
Langan had been enemies. They met
one evening and decided to bury the
hatchet and live in peace and friend ship.
Such solemn compact could only be
sealed by deep draught, so the parties to
the contract adjourned to saloon.
While in the saloon they met a mutual
friend named Simond and all three took
drink. A little later there was a mis-
understanding and in the scuffls Adam
May lost big wad of his VIII tskers.
This morning the whiskers were tagged
Exhibit Az and put in evidence. The
bunch was an inch wide and four inches
long. May charged Langan with detach-
ing them from his chin, and caused his
arrest. Langan denied the charge and it
went to trial.
This morning the facts were placed be-
fore jury ana Langan succeeded in prov
ing that it was not he, but Simonds, who
pulled out the whiskers, and the de-
tendant was prom pity acquitted by
Justice Quinn.
