TWENTY MINUTE SERVICE
FOR ALAMEDA RESIDENTS
Southern Pacific Company Is Preparing
to Improve Its Narrow Gauge
System Across the Bay.

The patrons of the narrow gauge
ferry and railroad system connecting
this city with the county on the oppo-
site side of the bay are to share with
the Oakland and Berkeley commuters
the benefits of a twenty minute SER
vice. 1t was announced by General
Passenger Agent T. H. Goodman yes
terday that the proposition to estab-
lish faster service by way of the mar
row gauge route is now under consider
alton by the officials of the Southern
Pacific Company in New York and that
a message of approval of the plans for
this innovation is expected here in a
day or So
ITO effect this much desired change"
said Mr.. Goodwin. 1T will be necessary
for the company to make a number of
improvements along it's tracks and at
its slip on the Alameda side of the bay.
Another ferry boat will be required and
we are now negotiating with the Cal
ifornia Northwestern Railway Company
for the chartering of one of its boats.
Owing to the fact that our slip on the
other side is exceptionally narrow it is
expected that it will be necessary to re-
model the ends of the ferry-boat All
this work takes time. but it will be
rushed ahead as fast as possible. and ii
our present plans are carried out the
people who travel across the bay on
the narrow gauge system should have
an improved service not long after the
twenty minute service on the broad
gauge system is inaugurated.'

WRANGLING ON POINTS
Judge LaWlor Admits Testi-
mony as to General Refus-
al to Administer the Oath

The trial of Joseph Rebstock, indicted
by the Grand Jury for violation of the
election law by an officer of a primary
election precinct. was resumed before a
jury i'll Judge Lawlor's court yesterday.
Most of the time was occupied in discus
sions of objections made by an attorney
for the defense to parts of the testimony.
Frank A. Maestretti, Commissioner of
Public Works. was an interested specta-
tor during the afternoon. His presence
seemed to give encouragement to the de-
PENDANT and his attorneys.
William H. HAZEL was called for re-
examination. The Judge overruled an OBJ
lection that no questions could be asked
the witness regarding defendants re-
fusal to administer the oath to other
voters than Owen w. Franklin. HAZEL
then gave the names of several voters
whose votes he had challenged and to
whom Rebstock refused to administer
the oath. One of them. named Ahern,
when his vote was challenged, dropped
his ballot on the floor and walked out Of
the booth. 1t was objected that this
evidence was irrelevant, but neither the
attorneys for the defendant nor the Dis
trict Attorney would move to strike it
out, and after a pause of a minute or
two the Judge ordered it stricken out.
Owen W. Franklin wanted fee of 81
for testifying. He is an inmate of the
Almshouse He testified to his votes be-
ing challenged and that no oath was adj
ministered to him. He said he was
Democrat. but had changed to Schmitz
Daniel L. Fitzgerald and Edward c.
Harrison corroborated Hazelrs testi-
mony as to Rebstock's refusal to admin
lister the oath to voters and as to the
filthy language used by him toward
voters. When demonstrated with for not
administering the oath Rebstock would
say, .'In be id if I'll do it,
Huber Burr was on the stand when a
long argument ensued as to whether an
inmate of the Almshouse had a right to
vote.

COLLINS Gets
POSTPON[MENT
Judge Lawlor Puts Arraign-
ment Over One Week at
Request of the Defense
BYINGTON Is OVERRULED
Father Connolly Said to Be
on Way to Tell Grand
Jury of First Marriage

The arraignirent of George D. Col
Inns on n charge of bigamy was post
poned yesterday morning to Friday at
$3.50 o'clock. despite the objection of
District Attorney Byington. The Dis
trict Attorney wanted the defendant
to plead OF; Monday. and at the request
of the accused Judge Lawlor put the
case over to the later date. Attorneys
Bert Schlesingcr and Marshall B. Wood
worth have been retained by Collins
as counsel in his defense.
Promptly on the hour Collins and his
counsel were in the crowded courtroom
yesterday, and waited patiently while
the court continued several cases on
the calendar. Collins appeared as ooun-
sci in one and pleaded a postponement,
which was agreed to by the District
Attorney. The debonair manner that
has characterized the man who is al
legged to have two wives had forsaken
him yesterday. He talked but little to
any one in the courtroom. excepting
earnest conferences with his associate
counsel.
When Judge I.awlor called the case
Collins arose and asked for /; postpone
menr. He argued that he believed the
Grand Jury was still taking evidence
and subpenaing probable witnesses. He
therefore asked that his arraignment
be deferred until the jury had finished
gathering evidence and had returned
the new indictment that. he thought,
was being prepared.
District Attorney Byington objected
20 a postponement, and said there was
no evidence before the court that the
Grand Jury was considering the fling
of any further indictments in the case,
and asked that the arraignment take
place at once.
Attorney Bert Schlesinger arose and
announced that he and Marshall B.
Woodwork had been retained by Col
Inns, and asked for a continuance of the
case until Friday next to give them
both an opportunity to attend to other
business.
Byington said that he did not desire
any postponement, but, II 1t was al
lowed, asked that Monday morning be
the date set. Schlesinger objected, ex-
planning that other cases demanded his
presence in other courts and that Fri
day would be the best day for him 10
appear. Judge Lawlor then ruled that
the accused was entitled to a reason
able continuance. and set the case for
Friday morning.
The Grand Jury will hold one meet
ing before the srraignment of Collins
This Will take place on Tuesday, and
Mrs. Sarah McCurdy, Collins mother
in-law has been subpenaed and will be
the star witness. Attempts are be-
ing made to reach DR.. Kahn in Napa.
and 1T is announced that Father Com
oily. who married Collins to either
Agnes or Charlotte Newman, is on his
way from the East to appear before
the jury.

The news of the mutiny on board the
kniaz Potomkin caused sensation In
State Department and navy quarters to-
day. The outbreak is thought to have
been one of the worst In navy annals.
The Kniaz Potomkin was one of the
prize vessels of the Black Sea fleet, the
only naval force now left to Russia.
She is of 1880 tons and has a COM
plement of 636 men
Though no details are given it is real
lied that the mutiny on board the vessel
must have been terrible in character
and a great struggle must have taken
place before the officers were all killed.
Still further importance is attached to
the mutiny because of the Indication il

ment that the situation is precarious
