Mrs. Maude Booth Sends a Letter to the Prison
 Directors.
Many Prominent People Sign a Petition to Give Him
 Chance.
Tho Young Convict's Mother Says Her Boy Is Needed to Supp
 port the Home.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,


 When the prison directors meet on Sat urday next at Folsom a determined effort will be made to have Abe Majors, the younger of the two boy burglars sent from here two years ago, released on parole.
 Many prominent people have signed a petition to the prison directors setting forth the facts Tn the case and stating that there Is a great deal of reason and merit in the efforts of the boys mother, Mrs. Wagner.
 Since his term commenced young Ma iors has been model boy at Folsom Warden Aull and those who have been closely acquainted with his career are unanimous in testifying to his good be- havior. There are at this time many powerful arguments being put forth why the boy should be given chance to show whether he will behave himself out of prison, if released
 Before entering on his romantic career of crime, few weeks before his arrest, Abe Majors was always good boy and did all he could to help support his mother and younger brothers after they were deserted by their father His elder the first husband of Mrs. Wagner, was of a wild disposition, never did anything for the home, and since his brothers i'm prisonment has not helped his mother in any way.
 Mrs. Wagner says that she has no doubt Abe was induced to enter life of crime by some one older than himself he being only Is at the time, and she feels convinced that if he be paroled he can obtain work in Oakland and can live down the odium of his boyish romantic crim- inal career. When on the coast nearly a year ago, Mrs. Ballington Booth took special interest in the boyish convict, and in letter to his mother said that when Abe had served a year Mrs. Wagner should try to get him released condition ally and she would help all in her power. The boy has now served two years, and to-day Mrs. Ballington Booth sent out an appeal, which may have some weight with the directors on behalf of the boy.
 Several judges and prominent attorneys have attached their signatures to the petition, and it Is generally believed that 1t will have some weight.

AUTHORITIES ARE ANGRY. Franks of College Students That May Lead to Serious Consequences.

BERKELEY, April 14.-Captain Emil Kellner, superintendent of the university grounds, and Armorer Mitchell are wrathy over some practical jokes that were perpetrated last night on the col lege campus by a crowd of students. The crowd started out early in the evening to chariyari their fellow student, c. F.. Balaam, the story of whose romantic se- cret marriage to Miss Gwynedd Carroll, a middler in the Berkeley High School, was published exclusively in yesterday 3 Call
 After serenading the student husband and his bride the crowd repaired with horns and tin cans to the college grounds. Wheels were taken from the water carts that were standing on the campus and hoisted to the tops of the electric light poles, from which they were removed by the university police this morning after some difficulty. A number of tin cans were also hoisted to the top of the uni- yersity flag staff, and this in particular angered the university authorities. Five years ago similar pranks had become common, and the president issued a warning that any student ever caught interfering with the flag pole would be summarily dismissed. It is charged also that the revelers effected an entrance in- to the armory and took a quantity of blank cartridges, which they subsequent ly used to make noise in the college town.
 An investigation of the affair has been instituted by the college authorities. but President Kellogg this evening declined to state just what had been learned or what course will be pursued with regard to the offenders.

MRS. ELLA EAGLES WILL 60 TO WAR She Wants to Be With the American Army as
 a Nurse. Her Modification Has Broudht Her
Her Application Has Brought Her Prominence That She Now
 Greatly Dislikes.

Mrs. Ella Eagles of 76 Hayes street has gone into hibernation on account of the notoriety she has invited by writing to the adjutant-general of the United States that she was burning with an ambition to go to war as a nurse, should hostili- ties arise between the United States and Cuba.
 Mrs. Eagles lately received note from the Governors private secretary an- nouncing that her name was on the reg ister as a volunteer nurse. The matter reached the newspapers in course of reg ular war news, since which time she has taken to sack cloth and ashes, refusing to see reporters or friends, hesitating at meal time and regretting that she of fered her services before the beginning of hostilties. But the fact is that Mrs. Eagles is seized with desire to go to battle and she regrets that she is not an able-bodied man capable of bearing arms.
 Mrs. Eagles was a little Buckeye girl when the late war broke out. She re- members that seven of her brothers went to war and that one never came back. She heard those who returned tell of the horrors of battle, of the sufferings of the wounded and of the great aid rendered by women in the nursing department. It was then that she made up her mind to a war in her time.
 Mrs. Eagles has been in California for fifteen years, ,fhaving buried her husband five years ago at Los Angeles. As she has no children she feels free to go to war as a nurse. The fires of patriotism burn in her breast, but she is sorry that of the first gun. Her friends and reia. tives beg her to give up the idea, but she clings to 1t with rare tenacity and thinks she will be one, of the first among all the volunteers and that her applica- tion is probably the first that has been sent in from this State.

DISAPPEARED
 IN THE NIGHT An OVercOat PurlOiner- Badly Wanted by the De-

Hacknaen Are His Victims and Many Reports Have Been Made, but
 Without Avail.

Detective Ryan Che of pawnshop-search- ing fame) is at last cornered, or, in other words, completely at sea regarding many thefts which have occurred recently Within the past few days a clever crook has been watching his chances along the streets, and his mania seems to be over coats, although the weather has been unfavorable for such wearing apparel His victims, without an exception, have been hackdrivers, and when the oppor- tunity presents itself he slowly walks to the hack and takes coat, if one Is within reach, and then, running toward an ap- proaShing ear, loses himself in the gloom or a crowd.
 Edward Dellex is the last complainant, and he reported to police headquarters that he was minus valuable heavy coat which he always carried with him during the long night watches. Detective Ryan was detailed on the case, but has so far been unable to gam any clew to the locality of the thief or the coat Last evening a thief, who is supposed to be the same person, again made his appearance and took away second coat from Del lex, and in consequence the driver is now wearing a borrowed article, which is not removed even during the hot spells for fear that the man may again claim what does not belong to him.
 The hack stand is Tn front Of the Phelan building. and last evening when the theft was committed, John Brooks, who lives in the neighborhood, saw the man take the article, but was unable s Ieo to follow him

JUVENILE BURGLARS. Alameda Infested by Band of Bad
 Boys

ALAMEDA, April 14.-Willie Herbert, Ed Castro and Peter Bayer, aged respec- lively B, 14 and 15 years, were arrested at noon to-day and booked at the City Prison with the serious charge of bur glary.
 They are under arrest on. a charge of having entered Sanford Brothers meat market and Buslachs grocery at Bay station last night.
 The window in the rear of the meat Investigation showed plainly that some person or persons had been through the premises and had gone from there into the grocery-store, which adjoins and is only separated by screen partition.
 Once in the meat market, the thieves had no trouble in forcing an entrance to the grocery. The intruders took nothing from the meat market so far as could be ascertained. From the grocery were taken just such articles as boys would be apt to take, as soda-water. cans of sar- dimes, boxes of crackers. chocolate etc.
 The case was reported to Chief of Police Rogers, who went on personal tour of inspection. One by one he obtained the clews that led to the arrest of the three boys. Two boys were arrested Tuesday on a. similar charge, and the police are determined to put a stop to the work of the boy burglars. That is why the charge placed against them was so serious. Jus tice of the Peace Morris fixed the cash bail at $500 and the bond at the same amount in each case.

LYNN SAID TO BE 4 LUNATIC Doctors Disagree Over the Symptoms in His
 Case.
Will Escape the Penalty of the Attempt to Kill His
 Wife.
Judge Ogden Will Hear Moro Testi- naony and Mako an Order
 To-Morrow.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
 one prao


 The man who attempted to shoot his wife and who was accredited with being concerned in the death of MT. Camarinos at the Agnews Asylum was declared by Drs. Barber and Rabe this morning to be insane.
 The examination of J. W. Lynn has so far occupied two days, and the testimony taken was of such conflicting nature that the doctors could not readily agree upon a verdict. Even now Dr. H. N. Fucker, a former superintendent of the Stockton Asylum, Health Officer Dunn and Winslow, a nurse, do not accept the Judgment of the two doctors, but believe that Lynn is a schemer.
 During the proceedings the fact was brought out that Lynn's mother is at present an inmate of Utica Asylum, at New York, where Lynn was an attend ant for eleven years. He is of very jealous disposition and some time ago was injured on the head, and these are held to be the predisposing causes Of his insanity. Lynn believes, or professes to believe, that three men make continual visits to him, place an electric battery on his neck and fill him with the fluid. He profesSes to continually hear voices which speak i'll of him and also assumes to believe that he is in danger of great bodily harm from invisible men who are ever around him.
 Ills commitment ends the tr1aI TOT the attempted murder of his wife, and the argument of the prosecution made yes terday that Lynn, whatever his condition of mind may now be, was sane when he shot his wife, will have no effect.
 In discussing this question Dr. Barber said: We must be perfectly impartial and look into the reason for each one giving his evidence and discover 1T they are moved by any bias. The fact that the mans mother is in an asylum suggests hereditary insanity, and while he may have been shamming in jail 1t may have induced insanity under the conditions and circumstances. We have nothing to do with his condition at the time of his attack on his wife, and gave our verdict on his present condition"
 Lynn was brought before Judge Ogden this afternoon, so that the court could pass upon the recommendation of the doctors regarding a commitment. He was so violent that 1t took five men to hold him, and the examination was continued till tomorrow afternoon.

ADAMS RICH ENOUGH.
His Manager Knocks the Basis From
 "a Sensation.u

-OAhLAND, April l.-Arthur H. Breed manager for Edson F. Adams real estate interests, was amused to-day to read a sensational story in morning paper that his employer has no property which can be attached to satisfy judgment of s25O0. There is nothing sensational in the incl dent, nor is there any truth in the state ment that Mir. Adams has no attachable property.
 The Judgment Is in favor of Darby Lay don & Co, who had dispute with MT. Adams concerning the building of his wharves. The case has been in the courts nearly two years, and the judgment was granted some time ago. On Monday last MT. Adams attorney secured a stay of execution, as he still has what he be- AeVes are some legal resources in the premises.

Adams owns a large share of the Adams estate, which stands of record in his name. he is the president of an opulent wharf company, has big blocks of stock in two banks, besides other investments. Deputy Sher- IT Harlow says the instructions of MT. McFlke were to serve the garnishment upon the two banks. In case of an exe- try for the attorney to furnish a descrip- ton of the property and the Sheriff is not supposed to exceed his instructions or to search the records.
 
 mat II MT. Adams is finally held to be legally responsible to Darby Laydon & 70. Tor s2500. the sum will be speedily forthcoming.

GALLI WINS, YET LOSES. A Verdict Against the Railroad That Meant to Him a Loss of Money,

A jury In Judge Daingerflelds court yesterday rendered judgment for $250 in favor of Michael Cali and against the Market Street Railway Company. Galli, who is an expressman, was slightly burned about the hands by coming in con- tact with a live electric wire at the cross- ing of Market and Third streets. The wire became detached from one of the poles used on the Third and Kearny street electric car system. It would have been better for Galli had the jury. found for the railroad, as the amount of judgment, being under $500, does not carry costs with it. Cali will, in consequence, have to pay three days jury and court fees, besides paying his counsel and the costs alone amount to S105, and when. the other costs are paid, Cali will find himself a winner nl court but a loser in pocket.

LAND FOR THE
 MONKEY RANCH City Attorney to Be Instructed to Sue for It's Con-
 demnation. Report Adopted by the Street Com raittee of the Board of
 Supervisors.

Tn spite of the vigorous protests here tofore made by the residents of the Mis- sion there is an evident determination on the part of the Street Committee of the Board of Supervisors to impose upon the taxpayers of this city the expense of establishing and maintaining a refuge for monkeys and other cheap and nasty beasts, which is by stretch of courtesy referred to sometimes as park and zoo.
 At a meeting of the Street Committee yesterday the initial step was taken toward acquiring the Gum Tree tract for use as a public preserve for monkeys. The committee adopted report recom- mending that the City Attorney be in- structed to begin proceedings for the condemnation of the land required for the zoo. This report will be submitted to the Supervisors on Monday.
 John H. Grady, on behalf of the Mis- sion Park Association, presented a report reciting that the owners of the property required for the park were not satisfied with the prices they had been offered for their land It was in view of this fact that condemnation proceedings were sug- gested by the committee. It was further recommended that the area purchased be reduced so as to exclude tract No. B.. valued at s5O.OOo and comprising 24SO acres, and a portion of tract No. 5, valued at S12,500 This would reduce the appro- p1aton required by $625oO. The commit tee reported that it was unable to se- cure figures from the owners of the small triangular pieces of property required for the proposed boulevard connecting Mis- sion street with the Balboa boulevard They recommended that these pieces of land be purchased outright when the other lands were bought. It is estimated that the total amount required for the proposed boulevard will not be more than $50OO
 A protest was presented by the business men of Market street to the repeal of the ordinance requiring the renumbering of the south side of that thoroughfare They claimed that they have already complied with the ordinance to a great extent and have incurred considerable expense in so doing.
