Spread of Measles Traced to
PrOmiscuOus Distribution
of Old Wearing Apparel

ALAMEDA, March All goods
hereafter offered at local rummage
sales will have to be thoroughly fuml-
gated under the supervision of Sani-
tary Inspector z. C. Maillott. This de-
cision was reached after a general dis
cussion by the members of the Board
of Health last night of the danger OF
spreading contagious diseases by the
distribution of cast-off clothing at sec
ond-hand auctions.
Heretofore rummage sales nave
been held in this city without regula-
ton or hindrance and several OF the
churches were given to conducting
auctions monthly. finding them to be
source of considerable income. lnves-
tigation on the part Of the medical
members of the Board of Health has
convinced them that the dissemination
of infectious disease has in many IN
stances been due directly to the pur-
chase and wearing of clothing discard
ed by persons afflicted with contagious
ailments. This has been noticeable in
the prevalence of measles among the
local Japanese, who are liberal patrons
of rummage sales.

CONTEST OVER ESTATE
OF LATE THOMAS CARBERRY
MulIigan Exerted Undue Influence
Over Him.

OAKLAND, March "A contest
over the will of the late Thomas Car
berry, who died a few days ago and
left his property TO Mrs. Mary Multi
gan, was filed with the County Clerk
this evening by Timothy Carberry,
brother of the deceased. The estate
is valued at about $4,000. Carberry
claims that he is the only natural heir,
with the exception of a nephew and
niece, and that his brother was un-
duly Influenced by the Mulligans in
the making of his will.
The deceased, prior to his death,
made his home with Peter and Mary
Mulligan. After his death they pro-
duced a viii, in which Mary Mulligan
was left all the property. The brother
states that one of the chief assets of
the estate is a promissory note for
$500 due from the Mulligans. He al
leges his brother was weak and sick
prior to his death and unduly in
fiuenced and that the will was not
properly witnessed.

With a pistol in his only hand, T. c.
Lane, a manned brakeman of the
Southern Pacific Company, came out
of a lively melee in the office of Division
superintendent Warren s. Palmer of
the railroad at the Oakland mole Mon
day afternoon and to-day he was ar

him by A. w. Baker, an assistant su-
perintendent under Palmer, who Lane
says attempted to throw him out of
the office. The accused man was ar
rested this afternoon, but was released
on bonds about 10 o'clock tonight.
There was a dispute over the amount
Of wages he was to get and Lane went
to the mole to see superintendent Pal
mer in regard to the matter. He did
not find Palmer. but found Baker. Lane
says that his complaint met with scant
courtesy from Baker and that he was
very shortly ordered out of the office
He refused TO go and says that ne was
attacked by Baker and that when he
showed fight a second man came TO
Bakers assistance. With but one arm
and attacked by two men he says that
he drew his pistol and made them stand
back while he made his retreat.
Lane says that he is the victim of
duplicity and ingratitude. When he
met with the injury that cost him his
means of a livelihood he says that he
was promised good job on the road
in another capacity if he would bring
no action for damages against the conf

covered he was sent down to Tracy,
where he has been doing work
that at the regular rate paid for such
work should have brought him about

HEAD FROM HIS BODY
Card in Pocket Shows He Was
Plumber and His Name Was
j. A. Macdonald

OAKLAND, March with the
head completely severed from the body
the remains Of j. A. Macdonald were
found upon the track of the Southern
Pacific at West Oakland tonight
From a union card in his pocket it
was learned that he was a plumber,
but further than that identification is
lacking.
The body was discovered by a track
walker just after light engine, which
was following the Berkeley local, had
passed over the line and it is believed
that this engine was the one that
caused the mans death. From letters

he had lived in both Oakland and

Austin was working amid the belts

in the wheels and so crushed and torn
