FIRE DEPARTMENT
WITHOUT A HEAD
Berkeley Volunteer Fire Companies
Decide That They Do Not Want
an Official Chief.

BERKE LEY, Feb. 5.-The university
town proposes to get along without a
chief of its fire department. This is the
outcome of convention of all the Berke-
ley volunteer companies held at the Town
Hall last night.
The meeting was called at the instance
of the Board of Trustees, who desired the
firemen to nominate a chief of their own
in the place of James Kenney, whose res
ignation two months ago left the depart
ment without a head. Each company was
represented at the convention by five del
egates. Unable to agree upon the name
OF any one candidate the convention be-
came unanimous in voting to have the po-
siuon of fire chief abolished altogether,
as in the opinion of most of the delegates
the office is unnecessary.
The firemen adopted a resolution where
by the foreman in each company is to act
as chief at all fires within his own dis
trtct. This resolution will be presented to
the Board of Trustees at its next meet
ing, and in all probability approved by it.

Fell From a Moving Train.

A LAMBDA, Feb. 5-Tom Smith who was
formerly employed in the Alameda street
department as sewer inspector. fell from
the platform of the narrow gauge train
last night as it was rounding the curve
south of the oil works. He struck on the
rock embankment and rolled into the bay,
but was rescued in time to prevent drown
ing.
When Smith was fished out of the water
he was unconscious. He was taken to
Park street station, where he remained
for nearly an hour before a conveyance
could be secured to take him to the Re-
ceiving Hospital in Oakland. The mans
scalp was terribly lacerated and his right
ear was nearly torn off. He left the hos
pital this morning. He told the matron
he knew nothing about the accident and
could give no clear account of himself.

/ c. D. Chichester of Golden Gate set an
example to municipal candidates for office
that cannot be too highly commended or
] too thoroughly followed. Mr.. Chichester
resigned from almost certain election as

remote connection between himself ana

| did not consider that at all at the time Of
| his nomination. but when he reallzed that

ton to fight his ticket, he wlthdrew

Where is the Populist party of Oakland
that four years ago elected large bunch
of county and city officials and threatened
to take the lead in politics? Where are
ex-City Attorney Piersol, ex-Sherif
White, ex-Treasurer Sanford, ex-School
Superintendent Garlick, ex-Councilman
Bassett and all the committeeman who
were once sought after by those of other
parties? Three days ago, desiring some
Populist information, went to the usual
haunts First l went to the office of eX
Assemblyman Bretz, and found 1t desert
ed. Then I met Attorney j. B. Myer,
then Judge Lucas and dozen others. All
had the same reply-knew nothing about
the party. Judge Gibson was more blunt,
"Old Abe's ideas are good enough for
me-, ne SAID. EX-Cnl6I Oh 1Ollce lLlOyu
is unheard of in politics and is attending
strictly to business. EX-Ftre Chief Fair
Is no longer heard from. Where are all
those good Populists who read John l..
Davie out of the party? What has be-
come of Rev. J. Goodenough, once candi
date for Mayor? Not one is known as
party worker at this time, and political
prophet has forecasted that the party
which cast enough votes to elect
Mayor four years ago will this year poll
about 500. A few months ago J. V. Web
ster told me that there is no Populist
party now. that 1t has gone after other
gods and that it's principles need regen-
Grafton. This view is not altogether ir
rational.
The names of all the candidates that
will figure in the campaign are now be-
fore the public, and six weeks remain in
which to sift the character of each and
his motive for seeking office. Every
voter knows that important measures will
have to be dealt with, including water
rates, and that an official will have an
opportunity to play Judas to his con-
stituents should he so desire. Should the
scandals of last spring be repeated, or
should the reason for them exist, it will
be the fault of the voters. Apparently
there is to be no voting on party lines,
and the issues are economy or ex-
traVagance, progress or silurianism, hon
esty or corruption, fidelity or trickery.
These concern the city treasury, street
improvements and fair water rates and
taxes, and are in no way allied to i'm
perialism or the unlimited issue of paper
money. STUART w. BOOTH.
