Alameda'S Health Board
Drafts Strict Fowl
Ordinance.

ALAMEDA, Dec. 3.-CEowing roos-
ters, quacking ducks, cooling pigeons
and other fowl that make themselves
heard in various ways will hereafter
have to take a back roost, one that will
be at least twenty feet from any hu-
man domicile, else their owners will be
liable to arrest and prosecution.
Such is the principal requirement Of
an ordinance drafted by the Board Of
Health at the instance of one of it's
members, DR.. Kate Van Orden, who
has repeatedly reported that her slum-
bers and those of her neighbOrs have
been disturbed by noisy chandeliers,
brakes and pigeons. 1t is further stip-
ulated in the new measure that any
person found guilty Of violating the
fowl law shall be punished by a fine
not beyond $50 or by Imprisonment in
the City Jail for a term not exceeding
ten days, or by both fine and imprison-
ment
DR.. L. w. Stidham, secretary Of the
Board of Health, will file the proposed
measure with the City Trustees at
their meeting next Monday night with
the request that it be passed as quickly
as circumstances will permit. Those
who keep noisy fowls in Alameda will
have to move out or pay fines in the
future.

WOULD IMPROVE ROADWAY
BETWEEN TWO CITIES
Betterment of Webster Street Is the
Theme Of Many Ambitious
Alanedans.

ALAMEDA, Dec. 3.-State Senator
]. r. Knowland, Assemblyman J. Glenn
Bates and Secretary Edwin Stearns of
the Oakland Board of Trade addressed
the West End Improvement Associa-
tion tonight on the proposed better
ment of Webster street roadway, the
main artery of travel between this city
and Oakland.
Senator Knowland said that many
thousands of dollars had been expended
in keeping the thoroughfare in passa-
BILE condition, but with little success.
He asserted that the realty along the
roadway would not stand the assess
ment that would be necessary to raise
the funds required to make the high
way what it should be. Senator
Knowland explained that there is no
law under which the county can be
called upon to assist in improvements
within a municipality. He considered
that the best plan would be for the
mercantile and Improvement organi-
cations of Alameda and Oakland to
join in raising funds by subscription
or otherwise to keep the roadway in
condition for traffic. He did not be-
lieve that an election for bonds to carry
out the work would succeed.
Assemblyman Bates said the Web
ster street roadway was a disgrace to
Alameda and announced that he would
work in every way to devise a plan for
it's Improvement.
Secretary Stearns said that the Oak
land Board of Trade stood ready to
help Alameda rebuild the roadway, as
it's Improvement would rebound to the
benefit of both cities. 1t was decided
that the West End Improvement Asso-
citation would meet December II inst.
with a committee from the Oakland
Board of Trade, when it is expected
definite plan of procedure will be out
lined

Spouse.
Daughter Swears to a Com

Arrest.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

FRESNO, Dec. 3.-Antone Mattos, a
well-to-do Italian farmer, assaulted his
wife to-day at the Pacific Coast Pack
ing-house and threw a powder in her
face with the alleged intention Of
binding her. The assault was made in
the presence of a big crowd of people
just at the noon hour at the packing
house. BY good fortune only little OF
the powder struck her in the face and
she was injured very slightly. Mattos
denies there was anything in the paper
he threw at his wife at all.
Several months ago Mattos' wife
called in the aid of officers to protect
her from the assaults of her husband,
who was beating her and threatening
to kill her. The trouble was adjusted
at that time, but the next night he
again attacked her and neighbors in
terfered and beat him severely.
Mrs. Mattos finding herself unable to
endure his cruelty left him, and she and
her children have since earned their
own living in the packing houses by
hard labor. She began suit for divorce
several weeks ago. According to the
eldest daughter Mattos went to the
packing house purposely to quarrel
with his wife this morning. The daugh-
ter herself swore to a warrant for her
fathers arrest. charging him simply
with disturbing the peace.

At COUNTY JAIL
Opium Concealed in Pas

Prisoners.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call.
111S Broadway, Dec. 8.

Oakland ONCE San Francisco Call,
Ills Broadway, Dec. 8.
Because John Smith, a burglar SEN
fenced to San Quentin for twenty years,
had considerable supply of opium in
his possession when he came to be re-
moved from the County Jail to-day.
Sheriff Bishop has issued an order that
the visiting days at the prison will be
cut down to Wednesdays and Satur-
days, and that nothing in the way Of
food will be allowed to be brought from
the outside to those confined in the JAIL
Owing to the number of Chinese that
have been held here for the Federal
Government, there has been an unusual
demand for opium in the Jail and the
most rigid watch has failed to keep the
stuff from the prisoners. The Sheriff
has come to the conclusion that most of
it has been brought in with the cakes
and pies sent in to the prisoners.
a large potato was found in the Jail
yard one day, the inside filled with
opium, and Lee Bang, a Chinese, is
now doing a year at San Quentin for
attempting to give some cigars filled
with the drug to a prisoner.
Now there are to be no more cakes
and pies and the Jail is to become less
of a home and more of a prison.

Ills Broadway, Dec. 8.
Fire caused by ignition and explosion
of gas in blast pipe wrecked the sta
tion B" plant of the Oakland Gas.
Light and Heat Company at First and
Brush streets, shortly after o'clock
this morning. The flames broke out in
the engine-room and attacked the
frame roof, rapidly spreading, cutting
the brick structure and threatening the
large gasometer east of the building.
Fortunately the firemen kept the fire
confined to the building and prevented
a disastrous explosion at the gas tanks.
Engineer George w. Bennett and his
assistant, J. Mansfield, were slightly
burned in their fight to control the fire.
The boilers and gas manufacturing
equipment were badly damaged, but
can be made serviceable by repairs. E.
c. Jones, engineer in charge of the gas
department of the works, began to
clear the wreckage this morning and he
said gas making at the station would
be resumed by tomorrow.
When the explosion came Engineer
Bennett was thrown against brick
wall by the force of the concussion, but
escaped serious injury. He kept at
work battling with the encroaching
flames until the firemen arrived in re-
sponse to a single alarm.
In the burned building was meter
department, which suffered $4,000 loss
from destroyed apparatus. The loss to
the building and machinery is about
$50, 900, covered by insurance.
John A. Britton, manager of the COM
pany, said to-day<thar the supply of
gas would not be diminished, as Sta
ton A." Second and Washington
streets, would furnish ample fluid. THE
property burned was erected by the
Equitable Gas Company, which was
absorbed by the Oakland Gas, Light
and Heat Company, that corporation
merging recently with the California

POLICE At SEA
IN KINIRY CHASE
Elusive Fugitive Sue
ceeds in Keeping
Under Cover.
Evidence Found Shows the
Thieves Operated in
San Francisco.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
111S Broadway. Dec. 3.

| lllS broadway, Dec. s.
The police have no information con-
cerning the whereabouts of David
! Kiniry, the murderer of Patrolman
James H. Smith. On this the sixth
day after the shooting the police say
/ they have not landed a clew nor g
/ trace to the fugitive. The best the de-
partment had to offer to-day was evil
dence that Kiniry and his dead COM
panion. Frank Goldstein, had not con-
fined their burglarious operations to
! Oakland.
Among the odds and ends left behind
in the room occupied by Kiniry at the
Steadman residence, 1862 Grove street,
were a lot of silver half-dimes and a
heavy gold pocket pencil. The former
have been identified by ]. B. Miller,
whose residence, 1916 McAllister street,
San Francisco, was ransacked the night
of October 16. w. Wolfe. residing at
l 1872 Washington street, San Francisco,
has identified the pencil as among the
plunder that burglars carried from his
home five or six weeks ago.
This convinces the police that the
pair were active in their criminal move
ments and equally speedy in disposing
Of their loot That Kiniry got the ma
jor portion of the proceeds is also a po-
lice theory.
The Board of Police and Fire Com
missioners has been officially advised
of the death of Policeman Smith by
the following communication from the
Chief of Police:
OAKLAND, Cal. Dec. s. 1903.
"To the Honorable Board of Police
and Fire Commissioners of the City Of
Oakland. CaI.-Gentlemen: deeply re-
gret having to report to your honorable
body the death of regular Police Officer
James H. Smith, who died November
p. 1903. officer Smith was one of ten
officers detailed in citizens clothes to
patrol the Lakeside district, with in
structions TO arrest all suspicious char
acters whom he might meet.
"On the evening Of Friday, Novem-
Der q. he met at Fourteenth and Jack
son streets two strangers. whom he ac-
costed. Upon being questioned they
failed to answer him satisfactorily. He
told them they must go with him to
police headquarters. Immediately one
of them David Kiniry) shot him. The
courageous officer then showed his
heroism by nobly standing his ground,
and although mOrtally wounded shot
and killed the pal of the burglar who
shot him.
This is not the only time Officer
Smith had shown his splendid courage
and intrepid heroism, and it can be
truthfully said that he was an honest,
conscientious and efficient officer, who
died in the performance of his duty.
Respectfully yours,
IS. c. HODGKINS,
Chief of Police
Governor Pardee has authorized the
offer of a reward of $500 for the arrest
of Kiniry.

CLAIM OWNERS
WIN THEIR SUIT
Harrison Gulch Town
site Litigation Con-
cluded.
Ground in Controversy Is
Declared Mineral
Bearing.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

REDDING, Dec. Be. P. Sherk,
Frank Large and Andrew Fletcher
have won their fight with the Harri-
son Gulch Townsite people over the
Bonanza mining claim located in the
Harrison Gulch townsite. The register
and receiver of the Redding Land
Office. before whom the contest case
was tried and who have had the mat
ter under consideration, handed down
their decision this afternoon. The de-
clsion is against the townsite people.
The case has been bitterly fought
and the contest proceedings alone oc-
cupied nearly seven weeks time.
Sherk, Large and Fletcher are the
owners of the Bonanza claim at Har-
rison Gulch. On August %, 1901,
they filed their application for pat
ent to the claim. A year later the
Harrison Gulch Townsite people filed
an application for a townsite patent
and including in their description the
Bonanza claim and part of the Gold
Hill extension claim, owned by Midas
Gold Company and w. w. Markham.
The register and receiver hold that
the Bonanza is mineral-bearlng
ground and should be excluded from
the townsite patent and that Sherk ct
al are entitled to a mineral patent.
The Gold Hill claim was not mineral
bearing and the townsite people won
the decision over Markham. The
townsite people will probably appeal
to the Commissioner of the General
Land Office. but the Midas Company
will not.
