WITHHOLDS PAY OF
CITY FIRE MARSHAL
Oakland Auditor Fears Position
Held by Fire Chief Was
Created Illegally

OAKLAND, Jan. 6.-City Auditor
George Gross is holding up the first
monthly pay warrant by which N. A.
Ball. chief of the fire department. is
given $500 month salary. He is
awaiting legal advice which would
sanction the claim and cities the city
charter as ground for doubt
Under the charter the salary of the
chief engineer of the fire department
is $3.50 month. Several months ago
charter amendments to increase the
salary were defeated at the polls, and
Ball informed the police and fire COM
missioners that he would resign. To
hold him in the service of the city
plan was devised to increase his salary.
The city council passed an ordinance
creating the position of fire marshal at
a monthly salary of $500. Ball was put
into the office.
The first warrant for the higher sal
airy is now in the auditors hands.
Gross has asked for an opinion from
City Attorney Stetson, and has. been
told that the action of the council was
legal. But the auditor seeks further
justification, and has referred the point
to a private attorney. He doubts
whether or not the creation of the new
job is justifiable, as an evasion of the
charter provisions.
'I hope 1 will be justified in audit
ing the warrant" said Gross, "for the
city can not afford to dispense with
Chief Balls services. He is one of the
best fire chiefs in the west 1t is
shame to ask such man to serve for
$3.50 a month.
"As the case stands, however, 1T is
a question whether the fire marshal
is an employe of the city or an official
If an employe, the council had jurisdic-
tion to create the position; but if it is
an officials appointment the place is
illegally created. / hope to have an
opinion in a day or two, and one favor
able to Chief Ball"
The chief has reiterated his intention
to resign if the increased salary is not
paid to him.

OAKLAND, Jan. 6.-Alice Lloyd, the
famous English singing comedienne,
who comes to the Oakland Orpheum

POSTOFFICE RECEIPTS
GAIN S., 900 IN YEAR
Strong Argument for New Fed
eraI Building Seen in Figures

BERKELEY, Jan. 6.-With an in
crease Of more than $1,000 of each
quarter year over the corresponding
periods in 1903 the annual postoffice
report of this city issued by Postmaster
Clarence s. Merrill shows that for the
asst year the receipts were s5,S2411 in
cycess Of those of 1908.
The total receipts amounted to slO4.-
t074.55 for the year. Those for Decem-
Der, 1903, $12,91489, as against $12,-
k91.77 in 1908.
These figures, which have been sub
mitted TO Washin gton, are considered
the greatest argument possible for the
erection OF a new postofice building.

QUESTIONS VALIDITY OF
SHADE TREE ORDINANCE
Park Commission Seeks Opin=
ion From City Attorney

OAKLAND. Jan. 6.-The park COM
mission sent a request to City Attor-
ney Stetson to day for an opinion as to
the legality of an ordinance passed
by the city council and signed by the
mayor regulating the trimming of
shade trees and penalizing pruning by
private persons without permits from
the commission. The penalty imposed
by the ordinance is a maximum fine of
$500
The ordinance is already in effect.
Today Secretary of the Board of Pub
lie Works Walter B. Fawctt appeared
before the park commission with
doubts. He said it had been called to
his attention that the supreme court
recently decided that a municipal
government has no jurisdiction over
the sidewalks-that is, over property
between the curb and the private
property line.
Stetson was requested to submit to
the commission a report on the validity
of the ordinance.

SON OF JURIST IS
ACCUSED OF CRIME
Magistrate Holds Young Man
Whose Sire Was Supreme
Court Justice

OAKLAND, Jan. &c. II. Black, %
years old, said to be the son of for
mer justice of the supreme court of
Pennsylvania, was the defendant in the
police court this morning in a felony
preliminary examination. He is charged
with passing fictitious check drawn
on the Central national bank of this
city, and after hearing the testimony
Police Judge Smith held the young man
for trial. The statement that Blacks
father is an eastern jurist was made
to the police by his father in law, who
is named Arundel and lives at Los
Angeles
Black until this morning was known
to the police only as E. j. st. Clair,
cognomen which the youth is alleged
to have adopted to direct suspicion
from himself for other offenses. The
police, suspecting this, endeavored to
learn the young mans identity. They
were told by Black himself that his
real name was James f. Wilson and
were unable to trace the prisoners ca
reer further from here than Los An
geles. Black had come to Oakland
from that city, leaving behind a wife
only 19 years of age, the daughter of
AurundeL
BLACK SHEEP OF FAMILY
The accused youth, according to his
father in law, is the youngest son of
former Supreme Justice Black of
Pennsylvania. The wayward one of 10
children, he was thrown upon his own
resources by his parents several months
ago. Four months after leaving his
home he was married in Los Angeles
to the 10 year old girl who is now with
her father in that city. Leaving his
bride there, Black made his way first
to Bakersfield, where he remained sew
eral days, and then to San Francisco.
AT Bakersfield he is wanted on charge
of forgery. The San Francisco police
al1ege that he gave a bad check to J..
A. Wilson of 1924 Octavia street.
The young man next appeared in
Oakland, coming here November 5, os-
tensibly to hunt for employment. He
grew desperate, as he explains to the
police and to obtain money drew up a
bogus draft, signing himself as E. j.
st. Clair. He got N. NJ. Benjamin, man
ager of the United cigar company store
at Eleventh street and Broadway, to
vouch for him and deposited the draft
in the Central national bank. Black
at once began to issue checks on the
deposit he was credited with.
Two of these checks he gave to Miss
Edna ]. Cross, a nurse living then at
the Hotel Adams, Twelfth street near
Clay. Inc CHECKS were LOT 9lU edcn
and purported to be retainers for serv-
Ice, the young man having pretended to
Miss Cross that he would take her to
Santa Cruz, where she was to nurse
sick brother.
BLACK is ARRESTED
She turned the checks in to be
cashed, but by that time the Central
bank authorities had heard from a
Santa Cruz bank, on which Black, pos
ing as st. Clair, had drawn the draft
for $125. The draft having been repu-
dated, the bank officials notified Ben
jamin, who had Black arrested for
passing a fictitious check.
On the evidence that was adduced
this morning Police Judge Smith held
Black for trial, fixing the bond at
$4,000 Despite his family connection,
the prisoner can not raise the bail and
is confined in the county JAIL

The infestation is likely to be lighter
and the resulting tick fever less
severe in the cool weather of fall and
winter than in hot weather, but this
will be the only advantage in bring
ing the cattle in the fall.
Now that your county is taking
active steps to eradicate the ticks,
the public highways will soon be free
of ticks and then it will only be ne
cessary to free your own pastures to
make it comparatively safe to bring
in cattle at any time from any section
that is free of ticks.
If tick-infested cattle are prevent
ed from running or being driven on
the highways of your county this
year, they will be free of ticks next
year, and if your pastures be vacated
by September 1st this year, they will
be free by next May, making it safe
to bring in cattle from the Central
or Middle Northern States at any
time. If mature cattle are brought
in before then, it will require great
care to prevent infestation and dis
aster. Calves under four months old
may be brought in with comparative
safety
The progressive farmer and southern farm gazette. (Starkville, Miss.) 1910-1920, 1910-08-13

Editorial Answer.-The question
asked is purely matter of the prob
ability of tick infection. II mature
cattle be brought from the Middle
West and are allowed to become in
tested with the common Southern
cattle ticks. the results are almost
certain to be disastrous. The time
OF the year they are brought South
will have little influence in the final
results. II brought in the late fall
there will be little less danger of
tick infestation and in case they es-
cape until spring the disaster will
be deferred that length of time, but,
will be none the less severe when in
festation with ticks does take place
But as matter Of fact, cattle
brought to Central Mississippi In the
fall will almost certainly become
more or less infested with ticks dur
ing the winter unless very great care
is t>ss~ = nrevent such infestation.

your opinion the importing of
