Pickpockets who managed to dip into
the pockets of a large number Of per-
sons in attendance at the annual ses-
sion Of the Grand Lodge Of the Por-
tugese society Of the 1. ID. T. D at
Haywards to-day created great excite
ment, and a man giving the name or
A. J. Morton is now under arrest In
the County Jail here, charged with De
ing one Of the men who operated In the
crowd. A number Of strangers were
stopped and searched, but as money
was all that had been taken, to idenu-
fly that which had been stolen was an
impossibility.
The occasion was an ideal one for
the light fingered gentry. A barbecue
at which nearly 5000 were gathered was
the order of the midday hour. A bar
at which free beer was dispensed was
much frequented and croWding and
jostling resulted. In this throng 1t Is
thought three men worked together,
and, from the complaints made. must
have cleaned up several hundred dol
lars. Andrew Johnson says he lost
buckskin bag with s12O in it. Manuel
Foster lost $25.
When it became noised abroad that
thieves were at work in the throng
there was a general scattering, then
searching of pockets to see If their
money was safe. Every now and then
one would find that he had been rob-
bed and the Indignation grew apace.
The scene of the barbecue was at the
end Of the electric line and in the town
proper Morton was identified by Attor-
ney +. J. Lemos as a man he had seen
pushing his way through the people
at the barbecue, and Marshal Shelling
took him into custody. This afternoon
he was brought to the County Jail to
await examination. Morton had $500
in his pocket, but nothing further to
connect him with the pickpockets.
The meeting Of the order was sue
cessful one. In the morning there was
a parade, following which came the
barbecue. In the afternoon speeches
were made by Mayor Charles Heyer.

Woman's Skill With Razor
Does Not Qualify Her to
Weld Deadly Revolvers
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
1915 Broadway, Sept IA.

Although woman may be fully
capable of welding a razor, her abil-
ity in this direction does not by any
means qualify her to use a pistol.
This is evidently the opinion of Mayor
Olney, who refused to-day to grant to
Mrs. Florence Belle Porter, Oakland's
"only lady tonsorial artist" permis-
sion to carry concealed weapon for
her own protection. Mrs. Porter al
legged that her husband, Charles Por-
ter, also a barber, has made sundry
threats to do her bodily harm and,
while she believes that the tools of
her trade are all right in their way,
she has little faith in the razor as a
weapon Of defense. much preferring
the typical weapon of the Western
wilds, the revolver. 81
Oakland's chief executive does not
believe in women carrying weapons
more deadly than hat pins, therefore
he declined to issue the permit, al
though the application was accom-
panied by the regular fee of 50.
AS a consequence of Mayor Olney's
decision Mrs. Porter will be forced
to depend upon her skill with the
razor in case of an attack, or else to
secure the services Of a body guard.

East Oaklanders Explain the
Good That Will Come From
Proposed Issue of Bonds
BEAUTIFYING THE LAKE

Near TWelfth-Street Dam
Oakland ONCE San Francisco Call.

1V1o broadway, sept. H.
The Importance Of the passage Of the
bond Issue was presented to East Oak
landers this evening at Cameron Hall
and men whose names carry much
weight with the residents Of that Sec
ton Of the city addressed the meeting.
Professor L. D. Inskeep was elected
chairman and introduced the various
phases of the bond proposition. with
the men who devoted their attention to
elucidating the different questions con-
tanned in the call.
Hugh Hogan was called upon and
unqualifiedly gave his Endorsement to
the scheme, and in speaking upon the
general subject, said:
The people OF East Oakland should one and
a1i vote Tor every proposition contained in the
call for this election. It means the wiping
out or an eyesore below the Twelfth-street
dam. 1t means the purchase Of the Sather
Tract for beautiful park. We IN East Oak
land are peculiarly interested in these things,
and In the Polytechnic High School and the
completion of a sewer system Besides these
appearance of the city and to that extent adds
10 lts attractiveness. This induces home
and will make this city a desirable one in
which to reside
DR.. e. r. Sill spoke Of the benefit
generally to the health Of the city de-
rived from public squares and from
such lake as Lake Merritt. He urged
the improvement Of that body Of water.
He said that in a recent trip through
the East he had noticed that all Of the
most prosperous cities were spending
large sums for general improvements
and urged the passage Of every one of
the propositions to be submitted.
Councilman Meese addressed the
meeting and outlined the general
scheme proposed in the bond issue and
was followed by Councilman Wallace,
who explained the benefits of an i'm
provement needed in the Polytechnic
High School.
F. A. Stearns directed the attention
of the audience to the fact that,
automatically figured out, the cost
Of the tax would be 81 cents on $10O,
and that the cost of trips to Golden
Gate Park spent yearly by the people
of Oakland would pay the entire tax
on the bond issue.
Captain c. A. Welch was in favor of
improvements generally, as were ]. w.
Evans, Henry Dodge and Edwin
Stearns Of the Board of Trade.
The meeting was well attended and
the people by their generous applause
showed their sympathy with the speak
ers in what they said

ADOPTS NOVEL METHOD.

The press and literary committee Of
the. Progress Federation Bond Cam
paign Committee has adopted a novel
method Of proving to the satisfaction
Of the average voter that the proposed
bonds for the improvement Of the city
Of Oakland should be carried. The
committee communicated with the
Mayors Of 100 cities, inclosing printed
form containing a number Of questions
as to the bonded Indebtedness OF
municipalities and other matters per-
tanning 10 the issuance Of Improvement
bonds. The first five questions asked
were:
Ito what extent is your city now bonded
for public Improvement bonds: $780,,
.2-How is this bonded Indebtedness divided.
Under the heads Of;
Streets and seWers7
Parks and bOuleyards2

readily because OF their experience, on bonds
Tor further improvements?
4-HOw has the issuance OF bonds aftecteo
property assessmeuts2
5-What increase or decrease in the normal
TAX has resulted from the issuance OF bondsg
Answers TO these communications
have been received from the ex-
ecutive heads Of about seventy-five cit
les, Of which number only three were
unfavOrable TO the issuance Of bonds
for public Improvement.
INDEBTEDNESS OF CITIES.
The bonded indebtedness of New
York on January l, 1903, was $461, 0S3,-
749. The fact that this great indebted
ness has not in any way affected the
prosperity Of Americas metropolis is
one Of the best possible proofs that
Oakland viii not be injured by the is
sUance Of Improvement bonds.
A short time ago the bonded indebt-
,F 1 nd
the citizens Of that city have recently
voted TO issue bonds for $6,617, 200.
The bonded indebtedness Of Philadel-
phia was S56.3 .3S7, ,245, until last July,
when by popular vote it was decided to
increase this amount by $16,OOO.000.
The Mayor Of Cincinnati says that
the bonded indebtedness Of that city is
now S24, 723, 900, and he states that the
people OF Cincinnati would not be any
less ready TO vote for an additional
issue Of bonds as a result Of past ex-
perience.
After receiving these figures and
facts regarding Improvement bonds,
the press committee says:
BY the experience OF the cities mentioned
and by that by scores Of others, Oakland may
well be guided There is certainly no instance
record where a public park or q boulevard
has been abandoned OF the purchase Of the
land necessary regretted On the contrary the
cry has been for more and more Of these re-
ouirements for the growth OF communities
The wise and full of its bonding capacity
may fairly be taken index Of a city's
progressive and enterprising character. The
live merchant his credit 10 expand his
business; the live city. likewise, its
credit to make itself more attractive@-that is,
70 increase its growth and so add TO its wealth
and prosperity.
