SAYS DAUGHTER
WRITES TO MEN
Oakland Woman Arrested ON
Complaint of Her Mother
Oh a Charge of Insanity
Oakland Office San Francisco Call

Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
1O16 Broadway, Aug e.
Because Mrs. Carrie K. Hinsman told
her mother that she was going to let
friend in San Francisco know when
she arrived in town, so that he might
call on her, saws her mother has ac-
cused her of insanity and she is now
locked in the detention ward of the
Receiving Hospital. Accused is pre-
possessing in appearance and says that
she has a baby a month old in Los
Angeles she is almost crazy to see, and
while she hates to blame her mother
declares she cannot understand her ac-
ton.
Mrs. Hinsman has been twice a
widow, made so once by order of court
and the last time by a visit of the
reaper.
She talked in seeming sanity about
her misfortune in her cell this after
noon. She says that her mother OBJ
jected to her receiving any visitors.
She is dependent upon her parents for
support, and says that she accompanied
her mother to Berkeley for a change
of climate, as it was deemed advisable
for her to get away from Los Angeles.
Mrs. Kelley, the mother, in "a COM
plant sworn to before Justice of the
Peace Edgar at Berkeley this morning
charging her daughter with insanity,
states that the daughter writes and
telephones to men she does not know,
and that she also threatened to kill
her mother the other day with a pair
Of scissors. Mother and daughter are
in California for their health, their
home being at st. Louis. Mrs Hinsman
denies her mothers charges. She says
she wants to go to her baby and that
she is very miserable

OAKLAND, Aug. 26.-The Union La
Dor party county convention, called to
meet at Germania Hall tonight, went
to pieces before it had effected perma-

jority/o the delegates marched over
to the cooks and walters headquarters

is to be followed by another to lay
out a programme for the conduct Of

Wild disorder followed the announce
ment made by J. Ehard, who got up
in the convention and said that he saw
sitting in this delegation a man who
had "scabbed" during the butchers
strike, and that he refused to sit with
him and he called upon all union men
to follow him. With him went nearly
the entire convention, leaving but
about thirty delegates of the 1872 who
answered to roll call Every new de-
Serter was greeted with cheers, and
finally Chairman Paul Wuthe stated
that he resigned his position as chair
man and declared the meeting adj
journed until next Friday night. The
meeting was called to order by ]. B.
Crandall. with r. J. Silva acting as
secretary.
The remark that they had been sold
was shouted from different parts of the
room. T. i. Holden and L. r. James
were placed in nomination for secre-
tary, and to avoid a contest both men
were called upon to serve. Chairman
Wuthe then announced the following
committees:

who denounced the meeting as fraud.
He was followed by ]. Ehard, who
called upon the union men to follow
him out of the hall

night and reorganize it, or name an in
dependent lot of candidates.

Congregation Of Brooklyn
Presbyterian Church Dis
pels Disquieting RumOrS
VOTE ON RESIGNATION
DR.. Fraser Withdraws Let
ter After Hearty Motion
of Confidence Is Adopted
Oakland Office San Francisco Call.
1915 Broadway, Aug. &c.


! The Rev. Hugh w. Fraser, pastor of
J Brooklyn Presbyterian Church, has
been requested, with practical unanim-
ity, by his large congregation, to with
draw his letter of resignation and he
| has accepted the invitation. This ac-
I ton disposes of a bit of a strained sit
uation which had developed apparently
out of thin air in one of Oakland's larg-
est church organizations.
Several weeks ago DR.. Fraser was
approached by one of the church Off
GERS, who suggested that the pastors
resignation might be acceptable. 1t
was limited that members had become
dissatisfied with the spiritual life of
the church, that the standard did not
seem to have been maintained. This
and some vague criticisms were made,
much to the amazement of DR.. Fraser
and some of his stanch friends, with
whom he conferred as soon as the dis
turbing rumors reached his ears.
Investigation was set on foot and it
was decided to test, as soon as church
law gave opportunity, the real senti
ment of the parishioners. To this end,
in accordance with Presbyterian rule,
the pastor wrote a letter to his con-
gregation requesting them to join with
him in a letter to the Presbytery of
Oakland, urging that ruling body to
withdraw the pastor from his charge.
That letter was the basis of a called
meeting of the congregation, which was
held Wednesday night during the pas
tors absence at Haywards. The stu
alton was threshed out from all points
of view. The rumors were sifted and
out of it all not thing tangible was
found. There had been a little indi-
vidual discussion of church affairs
which had enlarged beyond the scope
it had been intended to take. Hence
the disquieting aspect the tempest in
a teapot" assumed.
The course of DR.. Fraser during his
five years Of pastOrate was approved
cordially

1O16 Broadway, Aug. 26.
. Father and mother near death from
starvation and their three-month-Old
child in the hands Of the Coroner from
the same cause is the piteous plight
of Frank -Galindo and his wife, re-
vealed to-day through an investigation
which was made by Coroner H. B..
/ Mehrmann.
Barely alive, the father was sent to
the County Infirmary by the COroner's
l order this afternoon. The mother was
( taken in charge by people at Liver
more, where the family arrived
Wednesday, the baby having died
while they were nearing the town after
a hard trip from Red Bluff.
1t was because of a rumOr that the
baby had died from unnatural causes
which led Coroner Mehrmann to begin
an inquiry of the circumstances. He
found that the family had left Red
Bluff Sunday in a wagon. The hard
journey of $50 miles under stress of
great poverty. with lack Of proper
nourishment for either the parents or
the child, caused the infants death.
1t was not until this afternoon that
the Coroner discovered that the hus-
band and wife were in such critical
condition. GalindO, it had been re-
ported, was shamming illness to avoid
questioning about the death of his
child. The fact was that he was actual
ly starving and could barely be moved
to the hospital. Mrs. Galindo's phys
ical condition was accumulated by a
manifest weakening of her mental fac
ulties
Galindo has relatives residing near
Livermore. 1t was through them, ac-
cording to the report that was filed
with the Coroner. that the suspicious
were aroused concerning the baby's
death,
Coroner Mehrmann ordered en- au-
topsy to be held in the case of the
child and he will conduct an inquest
tomorrow. The father, the Coroner
said, had been confined for a term IN
State Prison, and this fact also had
a bearing upon the rumOrs that had
been spread concerning the baby's end.
Touching the case, Coroner Mehr-
mann said:
1t was reported to me that the baby's death
was not from natural cause; that there were
so many suspicious circumstances surrounding
the case that should be remiss unless I made
a very careful inquiry. The child died from
hunger and the father is so i'll from starvation
that the doctors at the County Hospital say
he is in a serious condition The mother Is in
like state and is also deficient mentally As
the autopsy surgeon, DR.. J. X Warner OF
Livermore shall hold an inquest

Rose and Louise Matthai accused
their attorneys, Weber and Ruther-

morning with having neglected their

They are left, they say, without relief

magnesite used by Stanley from her

the last three years, and this morning
Judge Ogden struck the case from the

this effect was sent to Louise Matthai

from time TO time and her lawyers had
put of the trial In this connection,
the witness said:
only a few days ago we refused a
compromise Of $4,000. I had no idea
our time was out and I consider that

In answer to her query, Judge Ogden

the matter before the Grand Jury she
would have TO apply to the District At

which would be her best plan, she
could seek redress through the courts.

SAYS HIGH TAX LEVY.
President Forderer of Alameda Trus-
tees Explains to Improvement Club.


ALAMEDA, Aug &c. - Joseph F.
FordeEer, president of the Alameda
Board OF Trustees, explained last night
at a meeting of the West End I'm
proyement Association that if the de-
mands Of the various municipal de-
partments for an increase Of salaries
and of the Board of Education for
maintenance of the schools of the city
were TO be met, the tax rate would
have TO be fixed at a rate not less than
81 40 on each 500 of property valuation.
Fred T. Moore, superintendent of
schools, said the school department had
long been conducted on lines second
to none in the United States.
IF the school department is to be
conducted according TO it's present
high standard" said Mr. Moore, I'VE
must have the amount of money from
The city that our estimate calls for
1t is poor economy to allow our school
buildings TO deteriorate for want of a
little paint or varnish, and the under
standing when the present Board of
Trustees was elected was that the de-
partment was to be conducted accord
ing to the present high standard"
Frank Otis, one Of the members of
the Board of Education, and George
Renner also made short addresses.
The matter of entertaining the visit
ing knights Templar was also touched
upon.
