MURDER CASE WITNESS
Testimony of Thomas Sullivan
Desired by the Defense

Whether or not Thomas Sullivan is
to be permitted to give his deposition
concerning the murder of Policeman
George P. O'Connell in a saloon the
night of October IA, 1906, for which
John Byrne was convicted and SEN
fenced to be hanged, will be determined
by Judge Lawlor today
Sullivan, who was a defaulting wit
ness. and who was recently arrested by
detectives. has been ordered to appear
in department IL of the superior court
this morning.
The deposition can not be used for
the purposes of getting another trial.
inasmuch as Judge Lawlor denied the
motion for a new trial after an ex-
tended hearing more than year ago.
With the consent of the district attor-
ney, however, the deposition may be
incorporated in the bill of exceptions
and certified to the appellate court
If the district attorney does not give
this consent, Byrne's lawyers, Sulli-
van & Roche, will ask to have the
deposition taken, so that it may be
used in the event of the appellate court
ordering another trial. Sullivan dis
appeared at the time of the trial, and

MAKES PROTEST AGAINST
THE TELEPHONE CONTRACT
Rival Company Threatens to
Sue Board of Education
[Spcciol Dispatch tofThe Call

OAKLAND Aug. "a Attorney
Charles H. Shook appeared before the
board of education tonight a S a repre-
sentative of ]. c. Meilke, tax payer
of Oakland. and an official of the Home
telephone company, to protest against
the five year exclusive contract for
telephone service in the Oakland
schools which was recently granted to
the Pacific telephone and telegraph
company.
Shook maintained that the contract
should be rescinded on the ground that
it involved an expenditure of more than
s100 and could not be legally granted
without first advertising for bids. He
also declared shat under the political
code relating to school funds all con-
tracts paid for out of them must be
annual, and that, therefore, the five
year contract was invalid.
Shook intimated that, if the contract
was not rescinded voluntarily. his
client would begin suit to compel the
board to take this action. Shocks pro-
test was referred to the judiciary COM
mittee of the board, with instructions
to obtain an opinion from the district
attorney as to the validity of the
contract
The board issued instructions to the
principals of the public schools of the
city to permit the school children to
sell tags for the benefit of the Union
Mans orphanage at San Leandro Sat
urday, September 4. 1t was stipulated
that the school children would not be
permitted to participate in any tag days
for any purpose in the future
Claiming that politics plays too large
a part in the selection of teachers for
the Oakland schools under the present
system, Director Evans introduced a
motion instructing the classification
committee to return a report suggest
ing better method of choosing teach
ers in the future.
The chairman of the finance com
mittee reported that S125, $50 would be
required for the maintenance of the
high schools of the city during the
present fiscal year. OF this amount
$114,630 must be furnished by the
county of Alameda The report. was
ordered submitted to the board of
supervisors

reached Portland shortly before II
o'clock tonight
He has been in the mountains along
the coast south of Newport for two
weeks and had good time. He had
bad luck hunting, no one in the entire
party having killed deer. Heney did
not even see one. They all, however,
caught lots of fish.
Heney said he had nothing further
to say regarding the San Francisco
political situation than the statement
given out Saturday night. He could
make no further statement, he said, I'M
til he saw the decision of the supreme
court of California regarding the di

If the construction the court placed
on the law permitted, he said he would
accept the democratic and union labor
party nominations. If not, he would
run for district attorney Independently
In any event he would enter the race
and most probably as an independent
candidate. He said he believed he
would be elected.
WILL ACCEPT NOMINATIONS
When asked if he would accept the
nominations accorded him in the San

I'll take all the nominations l can get

Heney plans to leave Portland tomor-

Asked if he expected to handle the

was too busy elsewhere and did not

BODIES HURLED INTO AIR BY BLAST
Lighted Cigarette Thrown Into Box
Of Fuses Cause of Instant Igni-
ton of Heavy Charges of
Explosive.

Key West, Fla.-As result of the
explosion of seven hundred pounds
Of dynamite at Bocachica, twelve
miles from Key West, on the Florida
East Coast Railway twelve men are
dead and five are seriously wounded,
and at least dozen others are suf-
fering from less serious injuries. The
explosion was caused by a member
Of the railroad construction force
carelessly throwing lighted cigar
cite into box Of fuses.
Eleven of the workmen met in
slant death. and the 18th died while
being brought to the hospital here.
The men were hurled high into the
air and the bodies of the dead were
almost beyond recognition, arms and
legs being torn from the bodies of
some, while the faces of others were
masses of torn flesh.
According to one of the wounded,
a wOrkman-on of the L to meet
instant dtsath-threw a lighted ci-
gazette to one side, not noticing that
it fell into the box containing fuses
which were connected with the heavy
charges of explosives beneath them.
A few seconds and the men, water,
mud and tons of dirt were thrown
seventy to ninety feet in the air.
Tugs brought the dead and the
more seriously wounded to this city,
the latter being placed in the Louise
Maloney hospital.
Those less seriously injured were
placed on Stock Island, opposite b.
cachica, to be brought to Key West
later.
About fifty men were at work. all
close together, when the box of fuses
were discovered ablaze, and had it
not been for the sounding of the
alarm by the dredge Manteo it is
doubtful If third of the men would
have escaped with their lives.

The rivers of that section the Homo

consequence of the cutting away of

a big New Orleans contractor has
put in pulsometer dredge of large
