SOCIETY WOMEN URGE
JUDGE TO CHANGE TRUST
Want Money That Was Left for the
Red Cross Transferred to
FabioIa HOSPITAL.

OAKLAND. Jan. 20. Prominent
women representing Fabiola Hospital
and the Oakland Red Cross Society ap-
peared before Judge B. r. Ogden to-
day in an endeavor to gain his per-
mission to have the sum of $3039 "a,
now held In trust for the Red Cross
Society, turned over to the Fabiola
Hospital. The trust was created by
the will of the late Theresa L. Mer-
chant.
Without ruling Judge Ogden indi-
Gated that he hardly saw how 1t was
possible legally to do this. but said he
would take the matter under advise
ment. The ladies present were Mrs.
/. l.. Requa, Mrs. Henry Wetherbee,
Mrs. J. G.. Lennon, Mrs. J. Bakewell.
Miss M. r. Babson. Mrs. H. H. Kirby,
Mrs. w. w. Standeford, Mrs. F. H.
Gray and Mrs. John YuIe. With the
exception of Mrs. Yule. who repre-
sented the Fabiola Hospital, they were
all members of the Red Cross Society.
They explained to Judge Ogden that
there was no work for the Red Cross
Society and that the money was lying
idle, while it would fit up a room for
soldiers at the Fabiola Hospital.

LOTTERY MEN
GO TO ALAMEDA
Chinese Driven Out of San
Francisco Operate Joints
in Peaceful Island City

ALAMEDA, Jan. 20-Hordes of
Chinese lottery dealers and gamblers.
hunted from San Francisco, have taken
street and Railroad avenue, where the
local Chinatown is located, presents a
lively aspect. Squads of Chinese may
be observed parading Park street dur
ing the afternoon and at night the late
trains for San Francisco are crowded
with the Asiatic gamblers returning to
that city after having tried their luck
in the local Joints
The invasion of the San Francisco
lottery promoters and gamblers has
aroused the Jealousy of the local Mon
golians, whom the police believe have
been conducting games of chance, and
the following communication received
by City Clerk James w. Gillogly to-
day, written apparently in a Chinese
hand, is thought to be a crude effort
on the part of some local Chinese to
call attention TO the invasion of the
San Francisco gamblers:
Alameda City Hall, Can Chinaman
gamblero open fine house for one hum
dred dollars money? No. 19.
The communication was written on
a postal card that bore every. odor
characteristic of Chinatown.
One we'll known local Chinese, who is
opposed to the San Francisco lottery
men and gamblers coming to Alameda,
is authority for the statement that
four lottery companies from San Fran
cisco are operating here and have been
doing so for several days. The head
quarters of these companies are in the
stores of Quong Tin San, 1926 Railroad
avenue; Quong Ling Lung, 1924 Rail-
road avenue, and Quong Sing Tong,
2322h Railroad avenue. Drawings are
said to take place each day at o'clock
in the afternoon and at 10 o'clock at
night One of these companies is re-
puted to have a capital Of $4,000, one
a capital of $4,000 and the other two a
capital of $1,000 each.
This afternoon nearly 300 Chinese
came from San Francisco and the un-
usual number of Asiatics on the local
trains caused many people to ask If
there was Mongolian festival being
held in Alameda. Hundreds of Chinese
gamblers also come here from Oakland
to play the lotteries, as the police of
that city recently raided the gambling
Joints" there. 1t is likely that the vis-
iting Chinese lottery dealers and
gamblers will be given a surprise by
the local police If the necessary evil
dence can be obtained.

the result of brutal attack made upon
her by black brute named Eli Reeves.
The fiend was captured yesterday
morning after long chase and is con-

preached the Jail and demanded his
life, but the prisoner and two other
murderers awaiting trial for their
crimes were smuggled from the prison
and sent to the penitentiary in Carson
City on a special train to protect them
from lynching.
While Mrs. Harper was lying in q
bed between her two little children at
6:40 o'clock this morning the murder

with the blood streaming from the
wound in her head they began to cry
and Reeves threatened to kill them.
Evelyn, the oldest child, grabbed her
little brother and sister by the hands
and hurried from the house, calling
loudly for help. The negro then carried
the unconscious woman from the house
and was attempting to finish his ter
rible work. when Irving, a neighbor,
arrived on the scene and frightened
him away.

of the fellow and in a short time posses
were searching in all directions for
him. officer Cadle and a boy named
Hazlett at last captured him in some
willows along the Truckee River and
brought him to the County Jail A
mob soon gathered and demanded that
he be turned over to them. Sheriff Fer
rill resisted and arrested DR.. H. H.
Hamlin, a well-known optician of this
city, for melting the mob to violence.
Later it was given out that Reeves
was not the right person and the mob
dispersed to search for the guilty man.
Sheriff Ferrill and ten deputies took
this opportunity to hurry Reeves, MUIR
derer Linderman and Dan Regan, ac-
cused of numbering his mother-in-law,
from the jail to a special train which
conveyed them to Carson City. It is
rumored that while in Jail in Reno
Reeves begged the officers not to give
him to the mob and confessed to the
brutal crime, but the rumor cannot be
confirmed.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call.
1016 Broadway, Jan. 20.

lUl0 BrOaQWdys Jan. ~.
First steps were taken to-day in this
city looking toward the removal Of all
telephone, telegraph, electric light. fire
alarm and police telegraph poles from
the business district. Upon suggestion
from Mayor Olney an ordinance will
be presented to the City Council by
the Merchants Exchange directing the
removal of all poles within three years
and forbidding the erection Of any more
poles in the prescribed territory. This
means that all wires must go into un-
derground conduits.
The subject was broached before the
Board of Public Works this afternoon
by a committee from the Merchants
Exchange composed of Theodore Gier.
Wilbur Walker and A. Schlueter.
Frank A. Leach Jr. took part in the
conference. The committee presented
resolutions favoring the removal of the
poles, which were adopted by the ex-
change. Mayor Olney explained that
Jurisdiction over the poles and wires
rested in the City Council.
City Attorney McElroy arranged a
meeting with the merchants commit
tee for tomorrow, when draft of the
proposed ordinance will be given at
the Western Union and the Postal Tel
egraph companies, the telephone COM
'pany and the electric light company
will be held to determine how much
time will be required to make the
changes required. The ordinance
touching the subject in Los Angeles
was read. 1t allowed only one year in
which to get the poles out of the busi-
ness district. Mr.. Walker thought three
years should be granted in Oakland.
Mayor Olney has issued a legal opin-
ion which declares that all existing or
dinances that in any manner appear
to give permission to any person to
encroach upon the public streets or
sidewalks is void on it's face. Abutting
property owners, the Mayor asserts,
have no claim upon the sidewalks. and
have no right to use them for the. dis
play of merchandise.
Police Judge George Samuels to-day
declared his full accord with Mayor
Olney's crusade for clear sidewalks. He
suspended judgment in the case of F.
w. Baker, a livery man on Fifteenth
street, near the City Hall, who had
been arrested for allowing a heavily
loaded wagon to stand on the sidewalk,
but his Honor said though he had no
desire to punish Baker he should in
sist upon holding up the Mayors hands
in the work.

negligee shirt, tennis belt and garb
otherwise unconventional. He told OF
with poor London workingman, in
the act of disrobing, the result being
an exclamation Of envy and despair
from the poor workingman, who cried
out against the fate that had made
London's body strong and vigorous and
his own puny. He said:
1T is to change all that-to give each
man an equal chance at food and other
essentials that the Socialist party
works and proposes a revolution, COM
pared to which the French and Ameri-
can revolutions were insignificant af-
fairs"
London cited the part taken by Rus
sian students in reform movements and
urged his hearers to become part of
the same movement, which, he de-
clared, should appeal to their love Of
romance, as being "clean, noble and
live movement
President Wheeler. in preliminary
talk, discussed briefly the import of the
university's registration figures for the
term. He said the total enrolment was
2O20, as against 1888 year ago. The
204 "cinches' he apportioned as fol-
lows: Freshmen 10, culture colleges 9S,

figures revealed, he said, that the tech
nical courses are sitter than others.

He may have been ready to show the

steal away in disgrace. Then let him
lay vital hold Of the truth that God is
fighting for him. Instantly every in
gredient of cowardice will vanish from
his nature. Something akin to omni-
potence begins to play along the nerve
Of his arm. The souTs battlesongs Of
victory began to swell the rising har-
monies in his heart. Championed by
God. he knows that, though the worlds
may fall. he shall not meet with de-
feat. Camping along the path of his
destiny is the SleeplesS General, who
holds the stars in His hand, and the
interests of His child in His heart.
What mA gnifcent music for the soul

sFor the Lord your God, He it is that

Let us give the truth its proper set
ting in our lives. We hear so much
D fmen fighting Gods battles. And we
rejoice that this is SO. But let not the
lesser truth obscure the greater-that
God is fighting our battles. And do
we not sometimes get so busy fighting
Gods battles that we forget that Gcd
is fighting our battles, which is OF
much more importance. It may be
that God could get along without our
reinforcements, after all. But II Coos
troops fail to come up, spiritual wa
~terloo awaits us for certain. Let us
make room for this neglected truth IN
our creed. It will make us better SOL

LAY Dy uas. III your nome. In your
business, in your society. in every
privilege you enjoy, God fights for
you. Gods battlefields are smokeless,
but they are victorious!
We discover the second reason for
the multiplied power. of the thousand
fold man in the last clause of my text:
"As He spake unto you." It is JOSH
ua's way Of telling us that God always
keeps His engagements. "O," says
some one, ''he is talking about Gods
promises now-and they are old.''
Yes, let US admit the promises are
old. But in growing old they have
kept their youth. What sturdy young
sters they are! We can't afford to
rule them out on account OF age. Most
of the best things in/this world are
old. The sun is old, fhe stars are old,
the ocean is old, the mountain is old,
love is old, music is old, father is old,
mother is old. our dearest friends are
old. But we are not ashamed of them
on that account. So Gods promises
are old. But they have grown old SO
gracefully that we ought to be proud
to walk life's pathway, keeping step TO
their mighty music. What would we
do without them? Certainly this world
would be a very lonely place, il the
old promises didn't now and then
steal into our hearts and hush their
fears. A mans spiritual exchequer IS
worth something when he knows it is
backed by promises as changeless as
God Himself. Il will never leave thee
nor fOrsake thee''
