FIRE BURNS
HOUSES And
A LAUNDRY

Fire broke out shortly before mid
night last night in the engine-room
of the Peoples laundry. 1927 Turk
street, between Webster and Fillmore,
and before the department had the
blaze under control the entire laun-
dry, with a barn containing thirty
horses, was buried. Several houses
were also destroyed by the flames.
The cause of the fire is unknown. The
property belongs to Rudolph Spreck-
els. The loss cannot be estimated.
The laundry building was a large
wooden structure and when the blaze
started the place burned like tinder.
The sparks were carried by the wind
and it was not long before houses in
the neighborhood were ablaze. Four
residences on Eddy street between
Webster and Fillmore. were badly
gutted, five on Webster street. near
Eddy, were also demolished and two
on small alleyway off Eddy, between
Webster and Fillmore. met with a
similar fate.
The fire was discovered few min
utes after it broke out by Ray Nc
Nally, an employe of the laundry. He
quickly turned in an alarm and the
fire laddies we're on the scene in a
short time. They fought the blaze
stubbornly for half an hour and finally
managed to get it. under control, but
not before the roofs of various houses
in the neighborhood were ignited by
sparks.
The fire created great excitement in
the neighborhood. A few moments
after the blaze started the streets were
crowded with frantic people anxious
to run back to their residences, but
who feared to risk their lives.
Among those who were burned out
are: Mrs. Mary Banks, Eddy street,
near Fillmore; Mrs. Annie L. Johnson,
Webster, near Golden Gate avenue;
E. T. Mcmillan. 1407 Eddy street, and
Robert Hill, 1405 Eddy street.

the day was made by an Oregon man.
little Lataurette, the quarterback He
took the ball in the second half, and,
lodging the eleven bewiIdered Berke-
leyans. made fifty yards. Belknap
downed him just ten yards the wrong
side of a touchdown.
There was plenty of punting in the
game. Joe Templeton. who did the toe
work for Oregon. sent them too close
to the line. Stern's kicks were long,
high ones, the kind that make dis
tance and give the ends plenty of
time to get down on them.
There was only one serious casualty.
Hug, who is center rush for the Ore
gonians, went out in the first half with
a badly bruised hip. Putting in a sub
stitute naturally weakened the Ore
gon line. which at its best was none
too strong.
The Berkeley boys showed they are
not yet as we'll up in team work as
they hope to be. They fumbled three
times in succession and once or twice
crossed wires on their signals.
The first half started with an in
terchange of kicks resulting to Berke-
ley's advantage. Oregon had the ball
several times. but could not make its
yards against the stone wall line OF
California. Finally California got
the pigskin and by a series of straight
plunges advanced it to within two
yards of Oregon's goal. Mead took it
over plowing straight through the
Oregonians. Force kicked the goal.
The second half opened brightly for
Oregon. Berkeley kicked. On the
first play Lataurette made his sensa-
tional run of fifty yards. After that
the Oregon steam seemed to give out.
They could not land the oval behind
the posts and California kicked into
safety. Then it was a repetition of the
first half Berkeley smashed the Ore
gon line steadily and Boynton soon
crossed for another touchdown for

Santa Clara band gave concert on the
streets preceding the meeting. The
Hayes Congressional Club escorted
Hayes and party from San Jose. The
meeting was held in Franks Hall, and
so big was the crowd that many were
unable to secure seats DR. A. E.
Osborne was chairman of the meeting
E. A. Hayes received an ovation when
he arose to speak. After reviewing the
successes of the Republican party, he
showed that it had always stood for the
protection of the American laborer and
manufacturer and illustrated the prin-
ciples of the protective policy with con-
crete examples.
He said he wished to see the Ameri-
can mechanics and artisans in a posi-
ton to bring up their families and
educate their children under the con-
ditions that surround the children of
the rich. Protection, he said, was ne
cessary to accomplish this. Hayes
promised, if elected, and he said he
believed he would be. to uphold the
principles of the Republican party
that have kept the country prosperous.

OAKDALE, Oct. 22.-A rousing re-

Congressman from the Sixth Congress
sional District, by the citizens of Oak
dale and the surrounding country.
Barlis Opera-house was crowded to
the doors. Huge bonf1res were ablaze
at the principal street crossings. A
military band furnished music and
enthusiasm ran high. A. S. Emery
was the president of the evening. Con-
gressman Needham made a brilliant
address, holding his audience for more
than an hour. He spoke on the is
sues of the day. He was frequently
interrupted by prolonged applause
particularly when he mentioned the
name of President Roosevelt. The
meeting adjourned with rousing
cheers for the Republican ticket and
Needham.
The general feeling in this COM
munity is that Needham will poll a
larger vote than ever before.

or 4e Bluxosne street. this city. was
transferred from Judge Coffey's court
to Judge Cooks court yesterday, when
an application for writ of habeas

for argument. The Judge did not
hold court, but stipulation was fled
with the clerk that the girl would be
delivered into the custody of the
father on the application being with
drawn. This will be done Tomorrow
The girl has been living with her
stepfather for several years and he
had refused to deliver her to her
father or even to allow the father to
hold any communication with her.
The stepfather recently applied for
and obtained letters of guardianship
from Judge Coffey and the father re-
sorted to habeas corpus. When the
application for the writ is dismissed
tomorrow the fight will revert back
to Judge Coffey's court.

in California for Roosevelt
Prediction IS Made That This Re-
suit Will Be Achieved.

The election will take place two
weeks from next Tuesday. Present
Indications are that California will
give $4,000 majority for Roosevelt and
Fairbanks and elect solid Republi-
can delegation to represent the State
in Congress.
In the First District the able and
popular ]. n. Gillett will surely be re-
elected by an increased majority. He
is conducting a splendid campaign,
winning strength in every county of
the vast district. Yesterday Judge
Melvin of Oakland left San Francisco
to join Senator Thomas Selvage in a
speaking tour of Humboldt County
The verdict will surely come from the
north that Melvin once heard must
be heard again.

promises to be the leading event of
the campaign.

not the slightest doubt of McKinlay's
election. 1t is now a question of ma

sPRoTT KICKS BOTH GOALS.

Near the close of the first half Stan
ford ran the ball from her forty-yard
line to Nevada's thirty-yard line and
then lost it on a tumble. The visitors
fumbled in turn shortly afterward and
the cardinal pushed through for steady
gains until Chalmers was sent over the
goal line for a touchdown. Sprott
kicked the goal.
Nevada kicked off at the beginning
of the second half and on the first play
Weller came around left end for thirty
yards. Dole, Chalmers and Weller
made from five to fifteen yards at a
clip down the gridiron and the big full
back plunged through for the second
touchdown. Sprott kicked the goal
again.
Stanford was given the kickoff, and
after the ball had shortly changed
hands on punt, the Cardinal again
sent Weller over for touchdown, after
a succession of sturdy plunges which
carried the pigskin seventy yards
Sprott failed to get the goal.
Stanford had an attempt at a field
goal blocked near the close of the game
and C. Hart went forty-five yards
toward touchdown before Van Sickle
laid him low. Bansbach also made a
sensational run of thirty-five yards
after catching punt, during the
course of the game. The rest of the
contest was devoid of spectacular

There is some question as to whether
the football game between Stanford
University aud the University of Ne
vada or the roofing of some fair SYM
pathizers of the sagebrushers in the
grandstand afforded the greater enter
tainment yesterday at Palo Alto There
was plenty of fun in both. The cardinal
had an easy thing of it and when the
moon looked over the fence as the last
half drew to close the score was IL
to 0 in favor of the home eleven.
Dole and Sprott We're back in the
game for Stanford. Both men played
splendidly. The team work of the car
dinal showed great Improvement, which
is a worthy tribute to William Reid's
excellent coaching as transferred
through the mouth OF .jimmylanagan.s
The Nevadans started with a rush in
the first half. but failed to keep their
gait. After Stanford had pushed the
ball over for the first touchdown the
rest was accomplished without diff
Guilty. F'riesell did some good punting
for the visitors and in this way pre-
vented a larger score against his team.
Dole was almost sure of making a
good gain every time he went at the
line. Weller also did better than he
has done before this season. Stanford
worked that favorite outside-of tackle
play for yards upon yards. The lads
from across the border were able to
stop the other line plays. Both elevens
fumbled repeatedly without any rea-
sonable excuse
