plete Tabnlati0ns

OAKLAND, Oct County Statis-
tician H. E. Magill was before the
grand jury today. That body inquired
into the work of Magin and his depu-
ties and desired to know when he
would be ready to make his report
The statistician said that he expected
TO be able to complete the task within
two months and that he might be able
to have the report ready in one month.
Several morths ago the supervisors aD-
propriated $4,000 for the statistical
scheme
Last year the statistician's report
cost the tax payers of Alameda county
$500. The full report could have been
placed upon sheet of note paper

the report were the figures showing
the number of baby carriages manu-
factured in Alameda county and the
quantity of pumpkins grown
Magill told the grand Jurors that his
deputies were endeavoring to prepare
the report without unnecessary delay

CANNON SCORED BY
METHODIST CONFERENCE
Resolution to Condemn Speaker
of House Is Urged by
Bishop Nicely
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

CHICAGO. Oct. Speaker Joseph G..
Cannon again bore the brunt of an at
tack upon his political record in the
closing hours of the Rock River Meth
odist conference this morning. The at
tack, in the form of singing resolu-
tions, for a time threw the conference
into a turmoil and threatened serious
division of the political sentiments Of
the ministers.
That resolution is not strong
enough Rev j. X. Shields declared Il
want more in it. and L demand more
from this conference.
What is Joe Cannon? Just a few
days ago | met a young lawyer whom
we had sent down into the state to
talk temperance. He told me that he
him for quite a while. When / asked
him for his impression of Uncle Joe
he said:
Shields. I have heard vileness from
the mouths of many men. but the pro-
family that streamed from the lips of
Joe Cannon L never heard equaled.'
This philippe had the effect OF a
bomb thrown into the conference. With
other speakers clamOring 10 speak
Bishop Neely called for order. while
cries of question, question" filled the
auditorium.
This disturbance at this time is out
of keeping with the conference" he
declared in stentorian tones. ''fhe de-
bate is not in motion; let the resolu-
tion be- framed and made stronger. but
leave out the name of Joe Cannon
house of representatives.
The bishops remarks restored order
and the resolution was changed and
passed by the conference.

TRUSTEES OF TOWN
BALk AT ELECTION
Charles F.. Fraser Insists Upon
Action to Decide West
Berkeley Secession

BERKELEY, Oct THE proposed
secession of West Berkeley, which has
worried the town trustees of Berkeley
since it was mooted four months ago,
was brought up at the meeting of the
town board last night, and although it
developed in the few minutes that the
question was discussed that enough
names for an election call on the seces-
sion petition had been found on the
great register. hasty motion TO adj
journ ended the discussion.
Charles +. Fraser. a member of the
company of this city,
who created a sensation three months
ago by demanding action of the petit
tion, brought up the subject again at
last nights meeting. He said that the
town clerk had verified the names and
found there We're enough to require
the board to call an election.
Town Clerk j. " Mendenhall as
sented, but stated that he had not had
time to count the names, although a
large number had been verified. At
this point Trustee Walter A. Gompertz
moved an adjournment and the seces-
sion question, which had been buried
in a committee of the whole board, was
sent back to its resting place for an
other period. 1t is likely, however,
that Fraser will take the matter to
the courts and force the town board to
call an election to decide whether
Berkeley will be divided at the Santa
Fe tracks.
