POETS TORRID WORDS
TO WOMAN SUFFRAGISTS

OAKLAND, Sept. 8.-Mary Lambert,
the author of several clever poems and
books, has undertaken the task of reply
ing to some ladies who have been publicly
expressing their admiration for the gen
orally accepted theories of woman suf-
frage. Miss Lambert, who is as well
known as any lady in Alameda County
in seml-public life, evidently has no pa
tience and much less sympathy with wo-
man suffrage, so-called. In her published
statement she says that woman Will fill
the place she Is competent to fill and
fitted to fill just as surely as man will
Miss Lambert's vitriolc philippe is di-
statement of Mrs. NJ l.. w. Curtis, a
State leader of the suffrage movement,
and ii is the most forceful essay on the
subject ever printed in Alameda County.
when woman has progressed beyond
the sphere she is in" says Miss Lambert,
"a broader one will come. Let her stay
where she is needed and cease to fritter
her time away on things that need her
not. Is she needed in politics? | think
not. viii she better politics? 1 believe
not Dear Mrs. Curtis, why don't you
married women who know all about hand
ling men just coax and wheedle this
precious gift from the dear fellows, just
as YOU coax your sealskins, new bOnnets
and Jewels? But what of the mateless
females? Why don't you sufragists take
up this point? 1t is not ridiculous for
a mans, when such is necessary. Man
proves himself fit to be the governing
power because he does his own work well
and because of the added burden that
woman's incompetency and negligence
puts upon him.

A WILD RUNAWAY
CAUSED A STAMPEDE

horse attached to a covered wagon
belonging to John F. Snow & Co. dashed
down Market street yesterday afternoon
and caused a great deal Of excitement
and some damage Len Virgins, the
driver, left the horse standing outside a
store on Market street, near Powell. The
horse became frightened and ran down
the main thoroughfare, gaining speed at
every bound. Pedestrians and drivers of
vehicles were warned by the shouts of
people on the sidewalk and managed to
steer clear of the runaway. At Fourth
and Market streets Officer Mcnamara
made a valiant attempt to catch the
frightened animal. but it swerved and
continued down the street. When OppO-
site the Phelan building the swaying We
hicle collided with a cart, breaking hub
and spring. The collision did not impede
the runaway but turned it toward the
show windows of Nolan's shoestOre. Tho
sidewalk was crowded at the time and
women and men ran screaming for points
of safety Fortunately for the owners of
the shoestore the wheels of the vehicle
struck a heavy post at the curb, which
stopped its course.
The post was torn from its fastening
by the impact But for its presence the
horse would have crashed into the heavy
pIateglass windows and done great dam
age and probably killed itself. horse
attached to buggy belonging to Mr..
Nolan was struck by the wagon as 1t
swung toward the sidewalk and brought
to its knees.

what shall the citizens committee do

is the last pertinent question anent the
reception of the California Volunteers.
The committee will have nearly $40 900
after it has settled every bill, and what
to do with this money is a problem more
serious than appears at first glance. It t
its expenditure must please everybody, ly
so the problem grows as the necessity Tor
its solution becomes more apparent.

Supervisors. will not be increased. He
states that the Supervisors themselves
hold Mayor Phelan responsible for the
state of affairs now existing owing TO
lack of funds. They argue that from
every platform where Mr.. Phelan spoke
in the last political campaign it was pro-
claimed that the city should and could be
run on the dollar limit. Being tnexperi-
enced in the city's needs, they accepted
the judgment of Mr.. Phelan and pledged
themselves accordingly.
The 18th of the present month says
Mr.. Wells, being the last day on which
the tax levy can be altered, / hear of no
intention on the part of the Supervisors
10 disturb their estimate made on August
eth, and my last hope that they would
do so is now gone, by the fact that Super
visor Collins, who was WaVering on the
proposition. has just departed on a leave
of absence to go to the Eastern States
The Supervisors argue that in the las-
political campaign they were not expert
enced in the needs of the city govern
ment, but that it was proclaimed from
every platform where Mr.. Phelan spoke
that the city government could and
should be run on dollar limit. Accept
ing the judgment Of the Mayor, who was
eXperitn need in the city government they
aid not hesitate to pledge themselves to
the dollar limit. Therefore the cry is
Dollar limit though the heavens should
fall; and this notwithstanding the higher
obligation of their oath of office to faith
f,',ly discharge the duties Of the Office Of
OF San Francisco
Should they persist in this stand, I
know Of no relief. Even impeachment pro-
ceedmes would not change the tax levy,
for tre Board of Supervisors of each
county must on the third Monday in Sep
tember fix the rate Of county taxes.
That all may anticipate results under
the present tax levy l will call attention to
one department-the School Department.
TIE School Fund is restricted to $9l.oi
per month. Under the Teachers Act %;
1899 I am required to set aside $S5,Sl5 ;pC
teachers salaries each month. leaving
s826O per month for all other purposes.
Twice this amount is already held up
for bills of July and August in addition
t. several thousand dollars in June of
the last fiscal year. with no money with
which to pay them. 1t is not probable
that this condition Of things can last very
long, for the coal dealers will refuse coal.
The Gas Company and the Water Com
pany will cut off service, nobody Will fur
nish supplies, and even the Board of Ed
ucation will not continue to make them
selves personally liable by ordering things
with no money to pay for them.
II have suggested that the Mayor and
the Finance Committee of the Board of
Supervisors come to my office, where we
have the data in compact form of each
department running back for several
wears and by the aid of this to revise the
estimate suited to present conditions.
But from this suggestion | hear nothing,
which makes me fear that nothing Will

TOO GALLANT
TO DENY THAT
He PROMISED
Miss Hattie IsaaCs Is
Sure He Did.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
90S Broadway. September s.


Rudolph Permien will have to stand a
trial in the Superior Court for break
ing his promises to Miss Hattie lsaacs
He would not take the stand in his own
behalf and swear that he had never prom
ised to marry his prosecutor.
Miss lsaacs made 2 very good witness
for herself and testified that Permien had
very positively promised to make her his
wife on several occasions. Many Wit
nesses were produced by the defense VINO
succeeded in showing that Miss Hattie
conduct was such on various occasions
that there might easily be mistake as
to who had promised to marry her. ENl-
IDENTIFY during the past twelve months the
prosecuting witness has enjoyed life. She
was a frequent attendant at dances ana
balls, and on one occasion eSSayed part
in an amateur Cakewalk. In spite or all
this testimony and much more incidental
thereto Miss Hattie could not be shaken
in her statement that she would never
have prosecuted Permien had he not
made a distinct promise to marry her.
The defense did not put Rudolph Per
mien on the stand Had he not been so
gallant as not to desire to contradict the
iady's testimony his troubles might now
have been ended His witnesses did sue
ceed in attacking somewhat the reputa-
ton of the young lady, but the defense
adduced no direct contradiction or the
testimony regarding the promise
Judge Smith briefly summed up the sit
uation and said that the testimony before
the court alleging a promise to marry
was unContradictod, and that therefore
the defendant must answer to the Su-
perior Court for his behavior.
