BERKELEY NEEDS
A POLICE COURT
so THE GOOD GOVERNMENT
CLUB SAYS.
Factions Getting into Line for {
Struggle Over the Question Of
Local Judiciary.

BERKELEY, Sept. 1.-THE question of
local judiciary, which promises soon to
be the absorbing topic in Berkeley's poll
tics, is rapidly developing in interest as
the time for decision draws near. In
many ways the approaching contest pre-
sents strange complications, which may
involve the measure very seriously, and
possibly, in the end, prevent its success.
The university town has at present no
means of enforcing its municipal ordf-
nances. Although a municipal govern
ment in name, the arm of the law Is per-
fectly powerless to carry out it's DEGREES,
or have its regulations respected.
Many of the licenses are sadly in arrears;
nor Is there any way Of bringing the de-
linquents to time. In the face Of this, the
greater part of the residents of the town
regard the establishment of local court
as q matter of pressing necessity.
Acting upon this the Board of Trustees
has prepared an amendment to the free
holders charter, establishing a police
court having jurisdiction over petty mis-
demeanors, and with power to enforce all
the municipal ordinances. The measure
will be voted upon at special election
set for that purpose on the 10Th OF next
month. The measure, however, embodies
one important provision, which has al
ready antagonized large section of vot-
ers. Opposition, more or less pronounced,
was expected from few, as loose ad-
ministration of the law is always wei
the natural opponents of the amendment
have only a divided camp to face, and
they are thus hoping that the measure
will kill itself
The point over which dispute has arisen
concerns the method by which the new
Judge is to hold office. AS 1t now stands,
the amendment provides that the official
shall be appointed by the Board of Trus-
tees. to hold office for two years. To this
method of holding office by appointment
a large portion of the community objects,
and their opposition is becoming mat
ter of serious moment. If the amendment
goes before the people in its present state.
Il is safe to say that 1t will meet with a
decided opposition at the polls from peo-
pie who would otherwise indorse it.
Notwithstanding this an effort will be
made to carry the measure through just
as it stands, and the different factions are
getting into line for the struggle. AS pre-
dicted in last Sundays Call. the Good
Government Club held a meeting at which
resolutions were adopted favoring the
charter amendment and the system of
appointed judges They will give the
measure active support
Professor Carl g. Plehn Of the de-
partment of history and economics in the
University OF California, and one of the
leading authorities upon questions OF mu-
nicipa1 government, is known to be
strongly in favor of having judges APP
pointed and as president of the Good
Government Club his opinion Is likely to
carry some weight.

FoRTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY.
Celebrated by the First Methodist
Episcopal Church-Close of Rev.
DR.. Bovard's Passionate.

ALAMEDA, Sept. u.-To-night the SER
vices at the First NJ e. Church were with
special reference to the anniversary of
the founding of that church, which took
place As years ago to-day, under the lead
ership of Rev. James MCGOWAN. From
the most modest beginning the church
has grown until 1t is to-day the largest
and most prosperous in the city. In his
prelude this evening Rev, Mr.. Bovard
briefly sketched the history Of the church
and also spoke in farewell to the large
congregation that Was present
Coincident with the anniversary was
the close of the pastorate Of Rev. F. D.
Bovard, who has been in charge of the
church for the full term Of five years.
At the coming conference on the 18TH at
Pacific Grove, a new pastor will be ap-
pointed and Mr. Bovard will be sent to
some other church, greatly to the regret
of his parishioners, with whom he has
been very popular.

Councilman Woodward should know by
this time that he is not an authority on
figures. He is the youngest Councilman.
but not the least known. He is very ener-
getic now in furthering schemes in the
City. Council calling for large expendit-
ures of public money and because Messrs.
Cuvellier and Girard expressed hint that
perhaps the sober second thought might
change their opinions, Mr.. Woodward ad-
vised them to stand by themselves" Mr..
Woodward may have improved in his
mathematics since he did the lightning
trick with the celebrated water-rate ordi-
nance, and 1t is to be hoped that he has.
He should remember, however, that on
that occasion his vote differed very mate-
rally from those of Messrs. Girard and
Cuvellier, and it is not recollected that
there was any desire shown by betrayed
citizens to mob the latter two gentlemen.
In this connection 1t should be borne In
mind that there will be city election and
a new Council next March and the man
has not yet been found erratic enough to
guess at the possibilities Of an Oakland
Council six months ahead.
