LECISLATES
 FOR LIQUOR Henneberry Objects to
 Cigarettes. BERKELEY CITED AS EXAMPLE OAKLAND COUNCIL WOULD RE- DUCE SALOON LICENSES. Says the War Tax Is Burden on Everything They Sell and
 They Should Be
 Relieved.
BERKELEY CITED AS EXAMPLE
OAKLAND COUNCIL WOULD RE-
 DUCE SALOON LICENSES.

OAKLAND, July u.-There were two little surprises at the meeting of the City Council tonight Councilman Henne- berry submitted an ordinance providing for the suppression of the sale of cigar cites. The ordinance says:
 It is hereby declared unlawful for any per- in the city of Oakland to sell, offer for sale give away any cigarette or cigarettes.
 No person shall permit any cigarettes to be sold in any place owned, leased or occupied by him.
 It is hereby declared unlawful for any minor to smoke any cigarette in any railway car, street, square, public building or place in the city of Oakland.
 The ordinance is to take effect, if passed, on and after October 1. It was referred to the ordinance committee.
 Councilman Henneberry's second surprise was an ordinance providing for the reduc- tion of the liquor license from $100 to $50 a quarter. In explanation of his ordin- ance, MT. Henneberry said: .',The war tax has laid heavy burden on liquor dealers. It has required them to pay taxes on everything they sell, and it is but equita- ble that they should be shown some con- sideration. Just across the line, in Berke- quarter, and 1t is but right, in my opinion, that we should do the same"
 The ordinance went to the committed.
 The Council appropriated s75 tonight to pay for national flag for the Eighth Regiment at Camp Barrett.
 The new Davie Freight Ferry Compan! applied to the Council to construct @ freight shed at Franklin-street wharf.
 The protest of property owners against the remacadamiZing of Webster street was sustained.
 The annual report of the Free Library was presented to the Council. It concludes: Tn regard to the needs of the library there is one that is ever present and in sistent and we can but refterate the state ment made last year that the library has almost reached the limit of its usefulness till a more suitable building is provided. The present building, erected thirty years ago, did well enough for the Oakland of 1S6S but Is hardly consonant with the dig nifty of the greater Oakland of 1S9S''
 Next Friday night the Council will meet as a committee of the whole to take up the matter of Cemetery Creek.

THE WOODBRIDGE CANAL.
A Higher Bid for the Property by
 the Receiver, E. c. Chapman.

The sale for S11000 of the Woodbridge canal property, which has been the sub ject of so much litigation lately, came up before Judge Morrow yesterday morning for affirmation W. c. Chapman, receiver of the property, through his counsel. Judge Fox, made conditional bid of s23, 900, with the understanding that the property be sold to him subject to all costs incurred by the receiver, which amount to S35,000.
 The contention was made by parties rep- resented by Attorney Cannon that their claims, amounting to about s5000 be de- creed by the court to be preferred over the bonded indebtedness, as they repre- sented money owed by the defendant cor poration. The whole matter was referred back to Commissioner Heacock, who will hear it next Monday at Il o'clock

H. G. Rudolph Robbed Theodore Geir
 OAKLAND, July u.--Officer Jack Scan- Ian arrested Henry G. Rudolph, printer, at Seventh and Webster streets to-day on a charge of burglary. He was accused Of the theft of a sack of coin containing $76 from Theodore Gier's store few days ago. When faced by Detectives Hol- land and Quigley, he admitted the charge and returned the sack and s5 90. Rudolph was familiar with Giers place of busi- ness, and often hung around there. The police were satisfied that the crime was committed by some one who knew the place. To the officers Rudolph stated that he had seen the sack hid, and becoming tired of living on 5-cent meals, he could not resist the temptation of taking it and living high. He lived in luxury for three or four days, when he took too much liquor and a friend relieved him of $40. He will appear in the Police Court in the morning.

He declares that when he reached the ranch he was dragged into barn by Antone Smith and compelled to give up $100 he had in his pocket, under threats of arrest.

As the affair occurred in Contra Costa Coun- ty, Captain Wilson advised him to apply for warrant for the mans arrest in Mar tinez.

The great convention OF the National
American Womnn's suffrage association
CLOSED Saturday evening, Feb. -. Repre-
sentative women from every state In the
union but two FLORIDA and Tennessee
made this convention the most enthusiast
tic and educational OF any convention Of
this organization.
Probably the last session Saturday
evening will be longest remembered As
one of the best We ever participated IN.
In addit ion to able addresses by women
from the Senates OF Colorado and Utah,
from the states of Wyoming and Idaho,
were short speeches by several |. ;.
Senators, Messrs. Teller, OF Colorado,
Cannon, OF Utah, Mason, OF Illinois, and
representatives from the House.
Representative Shafroth, OF Colorado,
was one OF the very earnest speakers
clear concise, gical. He said that the
experience of his state with woman SUI
frage should demonstrate to everyone
that it was not only right but pract icable.
Highly did he speak OF the Independence
of women in voting for principles rather
than for party.
Senator Mason, OF Illinois, spoke
strongly for woman suffrage but used the
time mostly in a feeling tribute to our be-
loved Frances T.. Willard.
THE final resolution at he close was Of
tered by Rev. Anna Shaw. 1t Was to the
effect that 1.-THE death OF Miss Frances
Willard has removed from the world ene
