SAYS FIREMEN BROKE
SKYLIGHT WANTONLY Y
Underwriters Accuse Foreman
of Engine Company

OAKLAND, Sept. Charges against
George L. Wager, foreman of engine
in the fire department, were made be-
fore the board of police and fire COM
missioners today by c. E. Schlingheyde
secretary of the Oakland board of fire
underwriters. He asserted that Wager
broke out skylight during the fire
at the Pabst cafe building, 465 Eleventh
street, several days ago, and hints that
Wager is the agent for fireproof
glass. He intimated that the foreman
broke the skylight' in the hope of re-
placing the glass.
Fire Chief Ball denied the imputa-
tion and explained that the skylight
was broken in order that a stream
might be played upon the flames in the
kitchen of the building. He. was asked
by the commissioners to submit a re-
port Wednesday.
Chief Of Police Wilson reported that
he had suspended Patrolman Coley
for one day for being too affable while
on duty. Coley is a policeman at the
crossing of Twelfth street and Broad
way. The chief said Colen. gave too
much time to conversation with per-
sons he met on the corner, which re-
suited in Coley's losing a days pay.
The next examination for eligibles to
the police department will be held at
the high school building, Twelfth and
Jefferson streets, October 2. Fifty men
are to take the examination.

NEW WINTON CAR
IS ON EXHIBITION
Latest of the 6 Cylinder Variety
Proves an Attraction on
Automobile Row
The 1910 Model Shows Many
Interesting Refinements
Over Former Years
By R. R. L'HoMMEDIEU

The new 1910 little six cylinder
Winton which arrived Tuesday after
noon was the center of attraction
along automobile row yesterday. The
Winton salesroom was the objective
point of many of the experts and
buyers for new cars. The new product
of the Winton factory is by far the
best that it has turned out since
making the six cylinder exclusively.
H. L. owesney. in speaking of the
car, said yesterday:
THE motor remains absolutely un-
changed-six cylinders, 4S horsepower.
The multiple disc clutch is so per cent
larger in diameter, and. with four
springs, requires but slight foot pres
sure in operation. 1t has four for
ward selective speeds-a new extreme
speed having been added. newly
perfected carburetor emphasizes the
motors beautiful operation. The frame
is inswept in front to give shorter
turning radius.
Springs of increased size are semi
elliptical all around, permitting low
suspension of body. Four shock alb
sorbers and four rubber bumpers. The
front axle is of channel section pressed
steel Wheel base is 124 inches-an
longer ana wider-a roomy creation
with bucket seats forward and wide
tonneau doors. Seven passenger equip
ment extra. Running boards and
guards are wider. Rear guards drop
over the wheels. Running boards and
front floor are covered with pressed
aluminium. Other new features are:
New design radiator, with longer
tubes, longer filler and hard rubber
cap hard rubber steering wheel rim,
longer spark and throttle levers on
steering column, increased brake lever
age, solid brake spiders, long or short
pedals at purchasers option, carburetor
primer on dash, improved design aux
iliary gasoline tank on. dash, dual ig-
nition larger oil tank, oil cups on
springs, larger exhaust tube, larger
front universal joint with lubricant re-
tainer.
"As before. the .Winton self starter
starts the motor from the seat with
out cranking. An attachment initiates
tires without the use of pump. These
are exclusive Winten Six features, not
to be found on any other car. The
price remains unchanged. The record
for upkeep of the Winton for 1908 and
1909 startled the automobile world and
with this advanced car 1 am wonder
ing what the sensation will be when
the report for upkeep is made at the
end of the 1910 season." "a

WAINWRIGHT TO
 FACE CHARGES
st. Louis Millionaire Brewer and Fu. giti,e Will Return From Paris for Trial On Doodle Charge.

St. Louis. July 2.-According to an unconfirmed report published ill the Republic this morning. Ellis Vain wright, millionaire brewer and fugi- turn from Paris. France. and face a charge of bribery
 Former Governor Joseph w. Folk said today that he had been tentative ly engaged" by Circuit Attorney Jones to prosecute Wainwright. He de- clared he could convict Wainwright
 The trial, if it takes place, will re- vive the famous poodle crusade which brought Folk into prominence. Vain wright is accused of having signed two joint notes with Henry Nicolaus and Charles H. Turner, for $75,000 and $60,000 each, the proceeds of which were alleged to have been used to bribe members of the city legisla- ture to pass franchise bill for the St. Louis and Suburban Railway com pany.
 One Man Has Died.
 Nicolaus successfully fought an in- dictment tn this charge. and Turner has died. s~~
 Wainwright Was in Cairo, Egypt when g bench warrant was issued for him, op~January 29, 1902.
 It was stated then by his, friends that be would hasten here to refute the charges. He iourneyed as far as Paris, and has been there ever since, bribery being one of the crimes for which the eXtradition treaty with France does not provide.
 As a result of the disclosures in the Suburban and other franchise steals, twenty-one members of the city legislature were indicted in 1902.
 Eight Sent to Prison.
 Several turned states evidence, but eight were sent to the penitentiary of whom one. Louis Decker, is still in prison.
 It was the poodle cases that made Folk famous and resulted in his overwhelming victory for governor. his rival for the Democratic nomina- tion, James Reed. then mayor of Kan sas City, withdrawing from the race on the eve of the primaries.

The Txrranx of Yesterday.

There are some people over whom
yesterday tyrannizes. That is to say,
they shrink from doing to-day any
thing that differs in the least from
what they did "a hours ago. Emerson
has called consistency, under some
circumstances, the hobgoblin of lit
tie minds" and Walter Bagehot has
said there are many persons to whom
it is positive pain to entertain a new
idea. This slavish defense to yester-
day robs us of many a fine inspira-
ton, and many splendid opportunity.
Letting I dare not wait upon I
would" we cover and falter and
shrink upon the verge of great ex.
ploits and achievements merely be
cause these would involve strange and
unfamiliar experiences. OF death it
self we are afraid, not because death
is painful, but because it is different
or seems to us different from what we
have been doing all along.
