FIRE ALARM BOXES
Protection to Be Extended to
Annexed District

OAKLAND, Dec. 13-Chief of Police
Wilson will recommend to the board of
police and fire commissioners that the
branch police station for the annexed
district be situated in Melrose. He
has made several tours of the new ad-
dition to the city and has laid out
beats for the patrolmen as soon as
additional men can be sent to the ac-
quired territory. George Babcock, su-
perintendent of the fire alarm and po-
lice telegraph service, has also in
spected the section and has chosen
places for the police and fire alarm
boxes.
He will recommend that police tele-
phones and fire alarm boxes be in
stalled at East Fourteenth street and
Fruitvale avenue, East Fourteenth
street and Deering avenue, East Four
teenth street and Forty-seventh ave-
nue., East Fourteenth street and Fifty
second avenue, East Fourteenth and
George streets and at the Highland and
Mountain View avenue crossings
These boxes are to be placed SO that
increases to the system can be readily
made. The lines will be extended
gradually north and south of East

IN OTHER STATES
Indebtedness OF City Does Not
Exceed Limits Set by the
Statutes

OAKLAND, Dec. 13.-The question
having been raised that Oakland mu-
nicipa1 bonds might not be salable in
eastern cities owing to stringent bank
ing laws, City Auditor George Gross
and James p. Edoff, park commissioner
and receiver of the California bank,
have searched records and statute
books and have decided that the point
is not serious. The laws of New York
state and Massachusetts prohibit banks
from buying bonds issued by cities
which owe above certain percentage
of their assessed valuations.
Gross ascertained that the entire
bonded Indebtedness of Oakland is
$685. ,475, which is about 100000 less
than the maximum Indebtedness under
which Oakland bonds would be salabie
to New York and Massachusetts banks.
Gross and Edoff also pointed out that
under the laws of this state cities may
issue bonds to total of Is per cent or
the assessed valuation. The valuation
of Oakland being more than S107 7,0O0,-
900, exclusive of the annexed district,
this city at the present time could bond
itself for $10,000,000 more, according TO
the statute. The. annexed district is
not assessable, however, for the bonds
voted before the annexation election.

Policeman Arrests Suspected
Stable Thief Near Pawnshop

OAKLAND, Dec. 13.--John Williams,
50 years old. was arrested this fore
noon at Fifth street and Broadway by
Policeman Teehan on suspicion of be-
ing a thief. and after half a days in
vestigation the police declared that

Teehan, on opening the case, found 1t
half full of silver trinkets and table
pieces Captain of Detectives Peter
sen said three thefts from peddlers
who stable their horses and leave their
loaded wagons at the Ninth street sta
bles have been committed recently, and
he accuses Williams.

arrived from Los Angeles, where he
bought the silver ware for specula ton.

LAWYERS HAIR IS
PULLED BY YOUTH
Boy Witness Gives Vivid DEM
Onstration of How Teacher
Punished the Children

OAKLAND, Dec. 13.-Attorney
Charles E. Shook caught a tartar this
morning in the person of year old
Manuel Samuels, who seized the attor-
ney by the hair in Judge Harris court
and shook it until tears came into
Shocks eyes. Young Samuels was IL
lustrating how Principal Gulick pun
ished some children in the Prescott
school yard recently.
The episode was interpolated in the
trial of the $4,000 damage suit brought
by Otis +. Eaton against Principal
Charles Gulick of the Prescott school.
Gulick was Furnishing some children in
the school yard when Eaton, who was
at work near by, interfered. Gulick
had him arrested for disturbing the
peace, but the case was dismissed,
whereupon Eaton sued for damages for
false Imprisonment.
This morning Shook, representing
Gulick, questioned young Samuels as
to the extent of punishment being
meted out to the schoolboys when Ea-
ton interfered. The boy replied that
Gulick was not beating them, but was
merely shaking them about.
Show me just how said Shook.
The boy climbed into chair so as
to be able to reach the attorneys locks
and, burying both hands in them
rocked Snook's head back and forth
vigorously. Shook finally persuaded
the lad to let go, and changed the
subject

HEALTH OFFICER SCORED
BY ALAMEDA JUSTICE
Anti-Chicken Ordinance Deci-
sion Causes Friction

ALAMEDA, Dec. 13.-That the pre-
pairing of and handing down of legal
decisions differs greatly from the pre-
pairing of and handing out of pills is
gravely declared by Judge Robert B.
Tappan in a retort to DR.. L. w. Std
ham, health officer, who, in criticising
the decision of the magistrate in hold
ing the local anti-chicken ordinance
Illegal and unconstitutional, wrote:
I'VE do not think it profitable to waste
our time trying to enforce an ordinance
the city police judge will not uphold.
In. a letter addressed to the city coun-
Gil, urging that new chicken ordi-
to control dogs that bark and howl
when law abiding residents are slum-
bering, or trying to slumber, Judge
Tappan has this to say of Doctor Std
hams structure on the knocking out of
the chicken ordinance:
The learned health officer ought to
understand that decisions are not rem
dered by courts through molds, as pills
are made by pharmacists. 1 do not
claim to be an infallible interpreter of
laws, but I try to administer law and
reason in the discharge of my duties as
police Judge"
The decision that wiped out the
chicken ordinance was rendered by
Judge Tappan in the case of ]. c.. Bates,
father of State Senator j. Glen Bates,
who was arrested at the instance of
Captain j. S. Hanley, local realty
agent, for maintaining a chicken coop
and chickens within 25 feet of a human
habitation.

University of California student. who
accuses Vollmer of falsely imprison-
ing him for the murder of Frank Bel
lows. Vollmer's testimony was TO the
effect that ne had good ground to sus-
pect Kleinschmidt.
Vollmer said that on investigating
the case his suspicious were turned 10
Kleinschmidt by two things. One was
that Kleinschmidt and Bellows had
been rivals for the affections of Miss
Blanche Kerfoot, and the other was
that Kleinschmidt, as a student in the
mining college of the university, was
acquainted with and had access to cya-
nide of potassium of which poison
Bellows died.
With regard to the enmity existing
between the pair, Vollmer testified that
he had been informed that Bellows
went to Kleinschmidt's home the even
ing he was killed. for the avowed pur-
pose of securing certain letters from
him, and that he expected trouble as
the result of his visit and quest.
The defense has nearly finished put

pected to come to an end in few
days. Further testimony will be heard
