TEACHERS CLUB

Reasons for the Increase
NOT ENOUGH FOR LIVING
Committees Are Seeking
Data as to the Cost of
Creature Comforts in State
Oakland Office San Francisco Cali,

Oakland Office San Francisco Call
1O16 Broadway, June 9.
The Teachers Club of Alameda
County addressed the Board of Educa-
tion this evening upon the question
of higher wages Though the rates
have already been fixed by the board
for the ensuing year. the members Of
the club state that the work now be-
ing done by them is in view of future,
rather than immediate benefits.
Principal l. D. Martin of the Grant
School was the main speaker. He di-
rected the attention Of the board to
the fact that the School Department
was being used by men as a stepping
stone to other professions. while, no
other profession was being deserted for
that of teaching. His conclusions were
that the inducements offered men were
not sufficient to hold them and in this
connection he said:
To gather data upon which estimates may
be based. the Teachers Club OF Alameda
County has gone systematically to work and
divided this work among a number OF com
mittees We wish to compare the wages paid
10 the sehooiteachers OF this city with the
wages paid TO men in other professions; taking
training and experience required Of applicants
for positions in the city schools.
The scope of this work was then out
lined. One committee was sending cir
culars to people in the various walks
of life asking them to fill out blanks
stating what they regarded was the
lowest estimate for the yearly eX-
penses of married man, 35 years old,
with a wife and two children to sup
port, taking into consideration what
was required of men in any profession
al walk of life.
An average of the returns already
received was as follows:
Rent, 1926; light and fuel. $50; table. $419;
additions TO equipment. $64; service. $2QS;
laundry SEA; literature. s23: books SIS;
charity. SCI: amusements, $3s; carfare S51
SUMMER outing. SSl: doctor. 1885, insurance,
$3.50; conventions, etc. $40 Total. S2l13.
This work, it was stated, was to be
continued throughout the year The
aim of it is to demonstrate that the
remuneration of teachers is not suff1-
cient to get the best talent. Women
are filing the positions, because they
can live more cheaply and have fewer
persons dependent upon them. 1t was
maintained that the quality of the
work can only be raised by an in
crease in the salary. The figures now
being compiled, the club believed,
would show conclusively that men with
the ability to make teachers could
make more money in other lines of
work and there was danger that the
rising generations were being left to
the care of mediocre talent.

A romance begun in the Arctic re-
gions ended in court here to-day, when
Cora +. Hepworth was divorced from
DR. W. G. Hepworth, a physician in
the employ of the Governments Indian
service in Alaska. The plaintiff before
her marriage was Cora Z. Quiner of
San Leandro. She met and fell in
love with the doctor while looking after
a mining claim near Dawson with her
brother, Henry c. Quiner.
Brother and sister had both gone
north in search of fortune. To some
extent they had been successful. The
wife now claims that Hepworth wanted
only her money; that after their mar
riage ne drank and gambled, and that
she gave him about $4,000 of what she
had saved 10 pay his debts. In Octo-
ber, while living at Forty-mile he left
her.
BY the terms of the decree the plain
tiff obtains her divorce on the ground
of her husbands desertion. She is
also allowed to resume her maiden
name Of Quiner and is to receive 500
month alimOny and $500 for counsel
fees.

Oakland Paper VenderS Are
interested in the Cause
of Young Rhodes Death
COMPANION Is ARRESTED
Lads Ferret Out Man Who
Was With the Deceased
During His Last Moments
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,


Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
1915 Broadway, June 3.
Oakland newsboys are showing that
they have the instincts of detectives
Yesterday they gave Coroner H b.
Mehrmann a tip that may prove valu-
able in determining the cause or the
death of Samuel Rhodes, who was hirn-
self an Oakland newsbOy.
William Cody, a boilermaker's helper
on strike from the Santa Fe shops at
Point Richmond, was taken into Gus
tody tonight at the City Prison. This
was done at the request of Coroner
Mehrmann and Cody will be held
pending an inquest in the case of Sam
uel Rhodes, a newsboy, whose body
was found on. the Southern Pacific
Company's tracks, at Cedar and Ninth
streets, last night.
CODY'S QUEER ACTIONS.
Cody claims to have been in company
with Rhodes when the latter was
struck and killed by a Berkeley local
train after the pair had jumped from a
freight train on which they had rid
den from Sacramento.
What gave rise to suspicious in the
Coroner's mind was the fact that Cody
had not voluntarily come to him and
made explanations. Instead, according
to his own deposition taken tonight,
Cody left his companion for dead and
by a roundabout route through the
railroad yards went to the home of his
father, John Cody, at 1875 Third street.
Young Cody said nothing to his father
about the affair, nor did he mention it
to any one until this afternoon, when
he casually said 10 a group of news
boys that he had seen Rhodes killed.
Later, upon their urgent demands, Co
dy went to the Morgue, but left fic-
titious address. The newsboys traced
mann took charge of the young man.
HIS EXPLANATION.
In explanation of his conduct, Cody
said:
Rhodes and I met at Sacramento
and came down on the freight train.
After we jumped off it was hardly a
minute before the Berkeley train came
along and I tried to grab Sam, but it
was too late. When l saw him lying
dead on the tracks / was so frightened
that 1 ran away. I.didn't say anything
about ii until 1 met the newsboys to-
day. 1 was simply scared to death"
Examination of Rhodes body showed
no external marks of violence except a
bruise on the temple. Coroner Mehr-
mann postponed the inquest until Sat
urday night that an autopsy might be
held and time given for investigation
by the police.
II am not prepared to make any
charges" said the Coroner, but had
Cody locked up so as TO be on the safe
side. His explanation is not entirely
satisfactory"

pany's Work i'm Stringing Its Lines
Before His House.

OAKLAND. June 9.-Complaint was
lodged to-day with the Board Of Public
Works against James Telfort, resident
al ll26 East Twentieth street. Telfort
is charged with chopping down a Sun
set Telephone Companys pole in front
Of his residence because he objected to
what he termed an obstruction to his
property.
The telephone company had been
stringing a new line through East
Oakland, using East Twentieth street
ss a site for its poles. Monday, during
TelfOrt's absence, as he claims, the
wOrkmen placed a pole in front Of his
house. They failed TO ask permission.
Telfort took matters into his own
hands, and with a trusty ak leveled
the offending obstruction to the ground.
''Telfort does not understand that he
has no control over the sidewalk or
street" said superintendent of Con-
Etruction Flemming OF the telephone
company. He does not understand
that il is not necessary for US to ask
his permission TO set the poles. The
pole was not in front OF his house, as
he claims, but was set on the edge OF
the property line" A.
