'NOY OPPOSED TO
BIG BOND ISSUE
Alameda Mayor Says Reduction
Should Be Made in the
Amount Asked

5 ALAMEDA, Nov. 17.-There will have
to be a big slice taken from the $780,,
600 bond issue that it is proposed to sub
nit to the voters of Alameda before the
ballot wielders will be given an oppor-
tunity to dispose of the matter, ac-
cording to Mayor w. H. Noy. The city's
chief executive believes that the bond
project is overloaded and that there are
several propositions that can we'll be
eliminated.
The mayor does not consider that Ii
is necessary at this time to submit the
proposition of issuing 100000 in bonds
for salt water system. Neither does
he think that the situation demands
that $4,000 be asked for a garbage
crematory, $4,000 for a red light sig
nal system for the police and $4,000
for fire fighting apparatus. Mayor Noy
also believes that the board of educa-
tion is asking too much when 1t re-
quests 100000 for school improves
ments. He thinks that s150,000 would
be about right. The issuance of $780,
600 in bonds for sewer along the
south side of the city is favored by the
mayor
The board of education may finally
consent to reduce its demand to $780,
900. This can be done by leaving out
the amount wanted for erecting an ad-
dition to the high school. The board
of education and the city council Will
hold special meetings tomorrow night,
when the bond matter will be discussed.

POLICE HERO DIES
OF RARE DISEASE
Patrolnan Daniel O. .Curran.
Who Rescued Girl From Blaz=
ing Building, Succumbs


OAKLAND. Nov. 17.-Daniel o. Cur
ran, 20 years old, one of the two gold
medal heroes of the Oakland police
department, died this morning at 5
o'clock at the Oakland central hospital
of Landrey's paralysis. an exceedingly
rare disease which attacks the spinal
cord and is invariably fatal.
Six feet tall and with the physique
of a giant, Curran was considered in
perfect health three days ago, when he
suddenly fell ILL., He took to his bed
at his home, 431 Forty-eighth street,
complaining of numbness in his neither
limbs Physicians were sent for and
had the patient conveyed to the hospi-
tai where he was attended by Drs-
A. S. Kelly, Dudley Smith and Martin
Fisher in consultation. They soon per-
ceived that their patient was In a
critical condition.
Curran was a native of Humboldt
county and had been married two
years. He was appointed a regular
patrolman December 20, 1906, and soon
became known as one of the most eff
cient men in the department. Last year
he distinguished himself at the burn
ing of a Chinese lodging house in Web
ster street by his rescue OF a Chinese
girl, whom he carried out of the place
His hands were blistered and his uni
form was burned when he emerged
from the building, blinded by heat and
smoke He fell in a faint with his
burden in his arms. For this action
he was decorated by Mayor Mott the
following May with one of the two first
hero badges given. The other was
pinned the same day on the breast of
Detective ST Clair Hodgkins, who was
dangerously wounded in an encounter
with j.. B. Clifton, former convict
robber.
Although Policeman Curran died
only this morning, man began to use
his death for dishonest purposes to-
night, allege the police, who after
hearing of the persons activity in
Chinatown warned the orientalS not to
contribute to a Curran fund without
authorization from the department. The
man being sought got several small
amounts of money. This was espe-
cially easy in the oriental quarter be-
cause of Currans rescue of the Chi
nese girl.

Postmaster General Meyer Is Of q
serious turn Of mind, but he has q bit
of humor in his makeup, nevertheless.
Being looked upon as the shrewdest
politician in the presidents cabinet, he
is the objective point for Newspaper
correspondents on cabinet days.
Last week as Mr.. Meyer emerged
from the White House a newspaper
man asked:
MI. Postmaster General, can't you
give us some news about the cabinet
meetings?"
There really is nothing to say" re.
piled the cabinet officer. I'VE dis
cussed nothing of especial impor-
tance."
do you mean to say you did not

queried.
The postmaster general burst into
laughter. When he recovered his u.s.

BURN INFECTED FRUIT BOXES,
All Packages in Which Product Is
Imported are Suspected.

The Montana State Board of Horti-
culture, through Inspector at Large M.
L. Dean, has instituted a campaign for
the strict enforcement of the law to
prevent the spread Of fruit pests by
the circulation of boxes and other
packages in which the infected prod
uct is shipped from other sections.
Attention is being called to the fact
that merchants of various localities
in the state are violating the law by
sending out to ranches eggs, groceries
and merchandise in empty fruit crates
and boxes. This is declared to be a
very easy way to spread diseases and
scatter the troublesome insects.
Inspector Dean expresses the hope
that merchants will destroy all fruit
packages and not allow the valuable
fruit interests of Montana to be jeop-
ardized by the possibility Of such care.
