TRIO OF SMITHS IN
COMEDY OF ERRORS
Policeman, Army Private and
Officer Take Roles FRI
day, the 18th

OAKLAND, Aug. IA serio comedy
involving the name of Smith in tripli-
cate, the Oakland police force and the
United States army was enacted here
and in San Francisco Friday, the 18th.
The principal actors were Policeman A.
B. Smith of the local police depart
ment, Private John Fay Smith of the
United States infantry and Sergeant
Major II. B.. Smith, stationed at the
Preside in San Francisco.
Policeman Smith, fired with an am
bition to collect the $50 reward offered
by Uncle Sam for the capture of de-
serters, arrested Private Smith at the
corner of Broadway and Fourteenth
street and expended car and ferry fare
as well as two hours of his time to
convey him TO the Preside and deliver
him into the custody of Sergeant
Major Smith.
Private Smith, when taken into Gus
tody, gloomily confessed that he
didn't know whether he was a de-
serter or not. His policeman name
sake cheerfully volunteered to take a
chance on getting the $50.
Sergeant Major Smith, after DELHI
Grating upon the case, decided that
Private Smith hadn't been away from
the barracks long enough to be ranked
as a deserter and that therefore the
reward would not be forthcoming. So
Policeman Smith left Private Smith in
charge of Sergeant Major Smith and
returned to Oakland minus his hoped
for fifty and bereft of much of his
chaarfulneSS.

COMPLAINTS ARE MADE
AGAINST CONTRACTORS
Builders Disappeared After Re-
ceiving Partial Payments

OAKLAND, Aug. II Complaints
against building contractors who, after
accepting partial payments on work.
dropped out of sight without paying for
material, with the result that liens
were filed against the owners, have
poured in upon District Attorney Dona-
hue.
Five complaints of that nature
have been received up to noon to-
day and Donahue is preparing an active
campaign against irresponsible con-
tractors and several warrants may be
issued within few days.
The stories told varied only in de-
tails. Complainants said that work
had been commenced on the houses
and that after payments had been made
to contractors the builders disappeared
and material dealers filed liens against
the houses and held the owners respon-
sible for losses.
AS a preliminary measure Donahue
has advised owners to insist on being
shown receipts for material and labor
before making payments to contractors
The law defines the acts complained of
as felonious and active prosecutions
win be instituted in cases where proof
can be obtained.

MEMBERS OF PRINTING
FIRM DROP QUARREL
Prosecution of Z. StaIneker is
Stopped by c. LeideCker

. OAKLAND, Aug. 14.-C. Leidecker
and q. V. Stalneker of Fruitvale, who
had a working agreement for the
operation of printing and publish
ing plant at Druitvale, have settled
their differences amicably and criminal
prosecution of Stalneker will be
dropped.
Leidecker denied that a partnership
existed and complained that Stalneker
had collected and pocketed large sums
of money totaling $1,000, to which he
had no right.
Two warrants were issued for Stall
neker on Leidecker's complaint and he
was arrested at Reno, New. on the
second, after the first had been dis
missed in justice court. Stalneker
arranged to pay Leidecker $500 at the
rate of SIS a month, and Leidecker
agreed to overlook the remaining
81, 200.
District Attorney Donahue will prob
ably ratify the dropping of the charges
on the ground that a lack of book keep
ing at the plant rendered it impossible
to determine the. exact standing of
the warning parties. Most of their
book keeping was done In their heads
and Stalneker claimed that he had au-
thority to collect the sums which he
did.

SUICIDAL MANIA
FEARED AT JAIL
Officials on the Alert to Prevent
Self-Destruction Among
the Prisoners

| OAKLAND, Aug 14-Fear of an
epidemic of suicide among prisoners at
the county Jail, following the suicide of
Mark Manchester when released on bail
and of August Coussens, his cellmate.
as soon as Coussens learned of Man
chester's act, is bringing sleepless
nights to Jailer P. L. White and his
assistants
Early this morning White had a hard
tussle with j. York, prisoner from
Alameda, charged with burglary, who
refused to stay in his hammock and
KEEP moving about in his cell after be-
ing ordered to retire.
After repeated reprimands White en-
tered York's cell and found him with
his belt detached from his clothing and
ready, as the jailer supposed, to hang
himself. White caught the strap and
wrested 1t from York's grasp, and then,
forcing the unruly prisoner to enter his
! hammock, set a watch upon him for
the night No further disturbance was
reported
The peculiar psychological effect of a
series OF suicides upon the minds of
inmates of an institution is we'll known
to the county officials. Sheriff Barnet
| said that there were numerous in
stances in the history of penal institu-
tions where an epidemic of suicide had
ragged for days before it could be
checked. One of the most famous in
stances was in a French prison. where
a prisoner hanged himself on a peg in
the wall, and others continued to use
the same peg for the same purpose UNI
til trusty thought to remove it.
Mark Manchester asphyxiated him.
self at Berkeley after being detained
two nights and day in a cell with
Coussens. Yesterday morning Coussens
was found hanging from the grating in
his cell, and evidence showed that the
men had entered into suicide pact.

RECOMMENDS THOMPSON
SITE FOR POSTOFFICE
Special Agent Considers the
FIetter Lot Too Expensive

ALAMEDA, Aug. 1.-THE special
agent sent out from the department of
justice at Washington to inspect the
sites offered for the new postoffice to
be built here has recommended that
the lot offered by the estate of Captain
r. r. Thompson in Central avenue east
of Park street be purchased for
$4,000.
The first agent sent out from Wash
ington favored the site owned by the
Fletter estate at the southeast corner
of Santa Clara avenue and Oak street.
The government offered $25. 900 for the
property, but the manager of the estate
demanded 100000.
This he later cut to $4,000 after con-
demnation proceedings had been start
ed by the government. With the recon-
mendation of the second agent that
the Thompson property be bought, 1t is
expected that this course will be fol-
lowed and the condemnation proceed
ings dropped.
