ALAMEDA SCRIBES
NEARLY M0REH0USED
DIR. ALFRED SANDER GOES ON
THE WARPATH.
Bloodshed Threatened to Be the Sc
quel to the Rookie Green
Sander Romance.
Alameda Office San Francisco Call,

Alameda Office San Francisco Call,
1923 Park street, Feb. IL.
The exclusive publication in this morn
ing's Call of the romance behind the love
affairs of Miss Amanda Roebke and DR..
Jacob Green created a decided sensation
in Alameda society circles, and long be-
fore noon copy of the paper could not
be purchased here for any price
DIR. Alfred Sander, who appeared as a
conspicuous figure in the romance. went
on the warpath early in the day and
startled the community by chasing wild
ly up and down Park street, with his
pockets full of pistols, prepared to More
house" the first newspaper man who
crossed his path-Can correspondent pre-
ferred.
Fortunately the scribes kept out of the
way and did not seek to interview the
angry medico until the police department
had been appealed to to cool him down.
Later in the day a meeting was arranged
tive of this journal in the office of Chief
of Police Conrad. The doctors afflanced,
Miss Ruth Gutenberg. was present.
Briefly, the physician said;
this morning. If l had. one of US would
have shed blood. l had two pistols. Not
intending to take advantage of you, l
proposed to lend you one with which to
protect yourself, If you We're unarmed.
Il was never in love with Miss Amanda
Roebke, and any statements to the con-
trary are untrue. Both She and Jakey
Green worked for me. my bookkeeper
caught them hugging and kissing each
other during office hours, and when he
told me l informed Green's mother. That
is all / have had to do with the affair
This happened more than a year and a
half ago and / have not been mixed up
in any such matter since. If / was not to
be married to an estimable young lady
next Sunday I would have no complaint
to make with the story printed in The
Call this morning, but under the circum-
stances, it made me mad and l firmly in
tended to set the matter right by shoot
ing the author
The doctor promised that If the above
statement was published he would do no
killing for at least twenty-four hours.
A. NJ Roebke, father of Miss Elsie, who
was credited with making the statement
that DIR. Sander was in love with her
sister, Amanda. and sought to prevent
her marriage with DR.. ]. s. Green, when
the latter won her affections, says that
his daughter does not remember having
made such an announcement and that the
probability is that different meaning
from that intended has been given to
some idle remarks she may have passed.
In the main, however, the story published
this morning is correct and there is am
pie evidence to corroborate 1t.

the Inflow and outflow.
:. On the wharves the crowd was even
verse than on the bay. 1t seemed as If
the whole town had taken advantage of
the fine day to visit the battleship. Short
-ly before 8. p. m. Henry Peterson stopped
selling tickets for his boats, and mount
Ing a platform informed the waiting
crowd that all who had tickets and want
ed to go home could do So and the tick
cts would be honored next Wednesday or
Sunday. The majority followed Peterson's
suggestion. but a number hung on and
went out on the launches as late as p. m.
One of the most pleasant excursions of
the afternoon was that of the Press Club
to the Iowa. 1t was participated in by
200 members and more than that NUMBER
Of ladies. The State tug Governor
Markham had been placed at the disposal
Of the club and in addition the big Sea
King and Captain Titchworth's trim tug
Annie were engaged. These three vessels
handled the excursion nicely. The club
members and their ladies embarked at 2
o'clock, and the three tugs made a trip
around the bay, first visiting the Union
Iron Works for cursory inspection of the
new battle-ship Wisconsin and the record
breaking Japanese cruiser Chitose. Then
the procession wendell its way out to the
Golden Gate. Favored by balriny weather
the cruise was a pleasant one. At 8
O'Clock the Press Club tugs drew up to
the Iowa. and the excursionists were soon

aboard the vessel. They were shown
every consideration by the officers, and
spent an hour viewing the famous fight
ing craft. The excursion was in every
way as successful as the previous outings
of this club have been.
When the crowd was thickest around
the Folsom street float a gang Of sneak
thieves began operating. officers Shaw,
Ellis and w. Coleman, of the harbor po-
lice, were there in plain clothes, and thew
kept close watch on the light-fingered

six-months-old baby, was in the crowd,
and she went up to her husband and

Nominations for Maryland's Four
Census Supervisors.

The State Republican Congressional dele.
CATION unanimously decided upon their recon-
mendations for appointments Of census super
visors for the State.
Those selected fer the offices are: Mr..
Charles r. Schirn, for the First Census dis
trict, which embraces Baltimore city.
Mr. b. G. Stevens, Of Caroline county, for
the Second district, embracing the Eastern
Shore.
Mr.. W. 7. S. Rollins, Of Prince George 5
county, for the Third district, embracing
Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Calvert, Carroll,
Charles, Hartford, Howard, Prince George
and st. Mary's counties.
Mr. Adolphus Fl. Harrington, of Frederick
county for the Fourth district, embracing
Garrett, Alegany, Washington, Frederick
and Montgomery counties.
The pay of the supervisors is 81, 900 year
and the Office is good until the census work is
completed, which, it is estimated, will take
about two years. The supervisors will have
large number of census enumerators to APP
point. which makes the office especially de.
sirable from a political point of view.
