Many Successful Applicants Receive County Teachers' Certifi- cates. Oakland Office Pax Francisco Caia,) - Broadway, Dec. 28. ) A novel feature will be introduced into the service at the Church of the Advent in ; East Oakland to-ruorrow evening. This will be a marriaue ceremony which will take place before tbe congregation is "dis- I missed, quite an unusual feature in an j Episcopal church service. Mr. Law, the | rector of the church, was called upon to unite two young people in marriage dur- ing the afternoon. He urged them to wait | until the evening and be married in church, j and they finally consented. A special j marriage hymn. "The Voice that Breathed j O'er Eden." will be sung by the choir of the church. Mr. Law himself designed the decora- tions of the Church of the Advent, which are quite elaborate, quantities of ever- greens being used to outline arches and otherwise beautify the editice. Supposed Suicide. OAKLAND. Cal., Dec. 28.—The body of an unknown man was found in Hays Canyon by Deputy Coroner Quillan and brou. ht by him to tbe Morgue. Three woodchoppera heard the man crying out as they passed through the canyon at midnight, and on going to him were begeed to end his life with a blow from an ax, the man declaring that he had taken rat poison. They could learn nothing of his identity nor o: the cause of his act. They notified the Sheriff, but when he ar- rived the man was dead. The man was well dressed and did not seem to be an ordinary tramp. Only 30 cents in money was found in his pockets, which also contained a razor and strop, a match safe, compass, spectacles and a. money belt. Deceased was apparently a German, about 50 years of age and 5 feet 10 inches tall. It is a theory that the man wandered out from Piedmont with the in- tention of taking his life in the hills. Thrown Out of Court. OAKLAND, Cal., Dec. 28.— Leith Loo- man, who wiis charged by Mrs. M. Robin- son with abduct' ng ncr little son, was dis- missed this morning upon motion of the prosecuting attorney. Looiiian," who is only a boy himself, acted upon the orders of the father of tue boy, and as soon as Mr. Robinson left he brought the little boy back to his mother. It was at her request that the motion for | dismissal was made. Itis not probable that Kane <fc Daily, the liverymen from whom Robinson and Loo- man hired the team which they failed to return, will brini; suit against the latter for grand larceny, as they first intended, since he acted for Robinson. Guilty of Assault. OAKLAND, Cal., Dec. 2S.—Joseph Frates pleaded guilty to a charge of assault with a deadly weapon in the Superior Court this morning. Several weeks ago he { stabbed a boy in West Oakland with a pitchfork. Attorney Thomas Bradley, who repre- sented Frates, asked Judge Frick for at postponement of the passing of sentence lor a week, in order that testimony as to the good character of the defendant might be produced. The motion was granted and the matter continued until January 4. Earned Certificates.

One Band of Professional Musicians Threaten Another With Arrest for Burglary. Oakland Office San Francisco Call,) 908 Broadway, Dec. 28. \ The rivalry between the Fifth Infantry band and the Oakland professional band, which is an offshoot of its rival, may prob- ably be taken into the courts. The in- fantry band has been since its organiza- tion under the direction of "W. Mcßain. There was dissatisfaction in the band, and on recommendation of Director Mcßain Colonel Fairbanks ordered the discharge of six of its members. The discharged members formed a rival band, but each member had an interest in the music, which is valued at $-000. The question of the right of ownership of the music which the band I. ad accumu- lated then arose. Previously the music had been stored in the bandroom at Lower Broadway, and at the time of the split a big extra padlock was placed on the door to prevent the music being spirited away. Later it was carted to the armory of the regiment and placed under the care of the armorer. >"o sooner had the discharged men learned of the removal than they notified Mcßain that if the music was not restored to its former place on the following day those who presumably had taken it away would be arrested on the cbarue of burglary. Attorney Lin Church was re- tained to look after the interests of those who had been discharged. Then Mcßain s party secured an attorney, and said they, too, were ready for war. The question of ownership will be settled next week, amicably, if possible, but, if not, then by resorting to the courts. POOR TARGET PRACTICE Two Men Shoot at a Mark and Nearly Wing Christmas Diners. The Alameda Municipal Trustees About to Expend $15,000 More on the Electric Light. ALAMEDA. Cal,, Dec. 28.—Julius Muhn and Frank Wigith, employes of the Palace F-rewery, were arrested yesterday for dis- charging firearms .within the city limits. They indulged in target practice on Christ- mas day at the West End, and were so reckless in their sport that a bullet was sent crashing through the window of a house on Fifth street, where A. H. Smith and a party of friends were enjoying a Christmas dinner. The bullet fortunately missed all the occupants and imbedded itself in a wall to the depth of an inch. The target-shooters were arrested, but let out on bail of $25 each, and will be tried before Recorder St. Sure. Church Services To-Slorrow. ALAMEDA, Cal., Dec. 28.— Rev. G. R.

ALAMEDA, Cal., Dec. 28.—The Board of Municipal Trustees met in executive session Friday to cons der plans for an ad- dition to the city's electric plant. A lot has been purchased for $1800, -which ad- joins toe old works, ana buildings and new electrical machinery will involve an esti- mated outlay of $15,000. The incandescent plant will be increased to 4000 lamps and the arc plant to 160, nearly doubling both. New dynamos, engines and boilers will be put in. The electrician states that there are now applications for 2000 more incan- descent lamps than the capacity of the works will supply. A Peddler in Trouble. ALAMEDA, Cal., Dec. 28. — W. E. Le- yick, a printer and once an editor of a socialistic paper in San Francisco, came to Alameda 10- day and tried to peddle cigars without a license. He offered boxes of fifty for 75 cents, thus attracting attention at once. . Police Officer Kamp arrested him for violating the license ordinance. He protested his innocence., declaring that the box of cigars which he exhibited as a sample had been made a present to him, but his story was not credited by the Re- corder, who will hear the evidence of those to whom he endeavored to sell the cigars. The Yellow River is styled the "Sorrow of China." During the last century ithas changed its course twenty-two times, and i'ow flows into the sea through a mouth 300 miles distant from that of 100 years ago. It is estimated that its floods in the present century have cost China 11,000,000 lives. POLICE AND POLITICIANS. A Discharged Officer Certifies That Schaffer Took Bribes. EX-MAYOR PARDEE TESTIFIES. He Was Censured by the Grand Jury for Not Suppressing the Lottery Games. Oakland Office, San Francisco Call,) 908 Broadway, Dec. 26. * The rehearing of the charges against R. H. McCloud, who was dismi-sed from the police force a year ago by a former Board of Commissioners, is proving very sensa- tional. Mayor Davie, who is also one of the Po- lice Commissioners, refuses to have any- thing to do wita what he pleases to call a farce, and Messrs. Wilson and Piersol are handling it alone. "McCloud was fairly tried, I believe, a year ago," said the Mayor to-day, "and I see no reason for wasting my time all day listening to the case. " R. H. McCloud made a very damaging statement this morning. McCloud was the officer who raided several lottery joints under instructions from Mayor Pardee. Chief Schaffer knew nothing about them till the arrests were made, and this in- creased the iil-feeling existing between Schaffer and McCloud. Ex-Mayor Pardee said he had beard ex- Chief Schaffer speak disrespectfully of McCloud. He said there was a long story connected with it, but in brief it was as follows: During his (Pardee's) term as Mayor he had spoken to Schaffer, who was then Chief of Police, about stopping the Chinese lottery gambling in this city. Schaffer replied that it was impossible to stop the illegal business because the Chi- namen were too cunning for the police. Mayor Pardee said he had been called be- fore the Grand Jury and asked why he did not have the Chinese gambling homes shut up. He told the jury what Schaffer had said and the jury then admonished him that he should do all in his power to stop the lotteries running in the city. He then had another talk with Sohaffer abcut the matter, with no more satisfac- tory result. A few days later McCloud was in the Mayor's office on other business and he (the Mayor) remarked that it was strange the Police Department could not stop the lottery gambling. McCloud re- plied that it could be stopped and offered to put in his vocation, if authorized by the Mayor, in raiding the joints. This was done and in a couple of days McCioud made many arrests. After this Schaffer went into the Mayor's office and complained that McCioud had exceeded his authority. Schaffer ma- ligned McCloud and Dr. Pardee said that McCloud naturally returned the compli- ment, but not to such a degree as did the then Chief. Sheriff \Y hite testified against the char- acter of Officer Lamping, and ?o did some citizens. Lamping is one of Schaffer's witnesses. R. H. McCloud testified in his own be- ' ball, that while the circus was in town the ; manager of gam oline and confidence sanies on the ground said he was paying Chief Schaffer $50 a day for being let alom*. Me- | Cloud arrested two lottery men, who told ] him they were paying $"_'o a month for pro- ; tection from the police. Several other | statements were made by McCioud that possess special significance, as they have i a direct bearing on the pending charges I against Officer Banks, and also on the tes- \ timony of the Chinaman wJio recently i stated that he had been in the habit of ; paving money to Chief Schaffer. The Police Department is now in a state of unrest as those who were friendly to the : ex-Chief do not care to testify in case it ; should be regarded as indicative of insub- ordination to the present administration. The case will be continued next week. FAIR DIPLOMAS. Many Home Producers • and Manufac- turers Are Awarded Kxpositlon Blue Ribbons.

On December 7 I sighted the edge of the ice-pack from the cro-v's-nest and shot my first seal, which was of the white kind, its skin being injured by several deep scratches. It was cold up in the white cask up on the maintop that morning. Before us were tne icefields, with the strong ice-blink in the air above us; and as we drew near to the edge the snow- white petrels became more and more nu- merous. They are of the size of an or- dinnry pigeon, but much more graceful. Their largt eyes» are deep black, as are also their bold, curved beak and their ele- gant webbed feet. They seemed almost transparent as with spread, quiet wings they soared in the air about the crow's- nest, where I was hanging on to one end of a large telescope, heavy enough to lift me in seesaw fashion far out of the nest cv ry time I let it glide too far out over the upper edge of the barrel. Like the pricking of pins the snow- crystals blew against my face, and 1 had continually 10 dry the telescope glasses with my woolen mittens, as the vapor from my breath settled on tne lenses in numberless crystals, and formed an extra sheet of glass. But they were glorious, those hours on the lookout! The air was generally clear, and the human eye could pee, even fjrom the deck, great distances within thos* southern latitudes. Only from the crow's-nest can one fully appre- ciate the supernatural charm of Antarctic scenery. Up there you seem lifted above the pettiness and troubles of everyday life. Your horizon is wide, and from your hign position you rule the little world below you. Onward, onward stretch the ice-fields, the narrow channels about the ship are opened and clpsed again by current and wind, and as you strain your sight to the utmost to rind* the best places for the vessel to penetrate, your eyes wan- der from the ship's bow out toward the horizon, where floes and channels seem to form one dense, vast ice-field. Ice and snow cover spars and" ropes, and every- where are perfect peace and silence. "We always observed the white, shining reflection of the ice-fields in the air, anrt we were thus warned from afar even of tne presence of a narrow stream of ice or an iceberg. This ice-blink and the presence of the white petrel never deceived us. — Jan- uary Century. Over one third the territory of Africa, the Sahara district, does not contain a single river. The greatest river in the world is the Gulf Stream. It is from 100 to 200 ruiles w;de und over 5000 miles long, ext -nding from the strait between Florida and Cuba to the northern coast of Norway. A PARDON FOR LAMBERT His Friends Making Strenuous Efforts to Influence the Governor. MANY REASONS ADVANCED. Politicians Who Turned Him Down Are Now Anxious to Make Amends. Oakland Office San Francisco Call,) 908 Broadway, Dec. 28. ) Within a few weeks Governor Budd will be petitioned to pardon Walter Lambert, the defaulting clerk of the Oakland Police Court, who was sent to San Quentin for five years last July. A very pretty and pathetic story is be- hind the effort to have the ex-Police Court clerk pardoned, and although the petition has some very substantial support, every effort has been made to keep the matter secret. This course was made necessary on account of the storm of indignation that would be raised by his many political enemies should the fact be made public. Just before Lambert emptied the Police Court safe and went to Honolulu with the combination, he married a young lady well known in Oi#dand, and although nearly everybody had marked Lambert off their calling list, his wife thought she saw the elements of what might yet constitute a worthy man, and with this end in view, she appealed to his friends to aid him, and the appeal was not in vain. In support of his claim for leniency from the Governor, Lambert's friends have pre- pared a lengthy prayer, and they base it upon the fact that Lambert, was a frequent sufferer from delirium tremens at the time he committeu the crime, and had on two occasions been locked up in the County Jail on a suspicion of being insane. There is no doubt that Lambert was some- what demented on several occasions prior to his levanting with $1083 bail money, but the jury found that he was sane at that time. Another point t>ein? urged in Lambert's favor is that he came back from Honolulu without putting the tate to the expense of sending an officer for him. At the time he was convicted some surprise was ex- pressed that his old political friends did not make any effort to rescue him, and it was known that he had been turned down. His return from Honolulu was prompted partlj- by the promises of his friends that they would help to make good the missing money, and it was stated that lie had the money in a safe deposit vault in Oakland and had gone- to Honolulu while suffering from mental aberration. Had this scheme been followed it would have been an easy matter to have kept him out ni San Quentin. But when he arrived in Oakland the safe depofcit vault did not materialize and no one seemed at all anx- ious to heip th>? fallen politician. He was speedily tried, found guilty and sentenced by Judge Frick to live years across the bay. The case was not appealed, and since he has gone from their midst some qualms of conscience seem to have smitten his old acquaintances, and the present effort to se- cure a pardon is meeting with their sup- port. Ai. ether reason advanced why Lambert should have permitted himself to be so dissolute as to be rendered mentally un- sound is that bis iirst wife died after a lin- gering illness, and that his attention and devotion to her completely shattered his nerves. The petition was drawn up by two local attorneys, who express them- selves as confident that it will be success- iui, though they refuse to say whether they have private information that wouid justify their hopes. WHARF AGAINST SCHOOL East and West Berkeley's Position on the Bond Question. Some Idea Prevalent That the Two Main Propositions Are Antag- onistic — News Notes. BERKELEY, Cal., Dec. 28.—"1f East Berkeley votes against our wharf we wi:l defeat its school proposition." This re- mark was pas-ed by one of West Berke- ley's prominent citizens this morning, and in the same breath he voiced the sen- timents of a large portion of his feliow- taxpayers in the West End. There has al- ways existed more or less jealousy be- tween the eastern and western portions of the town because of fear that one part would outdo the other in the matter of public improvements. Originally, the bulk of the population lay in the West End, but as the university, which is in the extreme east end of the town limits, de- veloped to larger proportions, the popu- lation grew with it, so that now the ma- jority of the citizens are located in what is called East Berkeley. As soon as the new School Board was elected, last May, the members began to outline plans for the improvement of the school system in all parts of the town. After much consideration it was decided to ask the Board of Town Trustees for $150,000 to be expended in the erection of new school buildings, among, which was to be a High School building in East Berk- eley to cost about $80,000. The sum asked was thought too much by the West Berke- leyans, so they compromised by agreeing to' vote $120,000 bonds for schools and at the same time asking for $SO,OOO with which to erect a wharf. Some of the East Berkeley people now claim that the West End wants the $80,000 for a wharf, not be- cause there is need of it,but because the other side of town wants a new High School building. Though the election will prob- ably not f^ke place for another month, some preliminary measures being neces- sary, yet the interest already taken in the outcome is noteworthy. Out of fifteen merchants and business men in East Berkeley, who were inter- viewed to-day, all were in favor of incur- ring a debt lor new school buildings, four favor the wharf on general principles, four will vote for it because they fear that if they do not do so West Berkeley will defeat their school, and seven will cast their ballots against the wharf unless they can be brought to see that itis a necessity. Fear is expressed that the proposed new wharf of a mile and a half in length will not be long enough to be of much service. According to the Government surveys and soundings of the bay the new wharf will extend far enough to reach water about thirteen feet in depth at high tide and seven feet at low tide, while the present wharf reaches the nine foot mark at high tide and three feet at low water. The new wharf will consequently permit vessels of four feet greater draft to dock. The sentiment in West Berkeley is almost unanimously in favor of the wharf, since it will be built in their vicinity, but many are inclined to believe that a new high school building is not needed, and that some more grammar schools will sufhce. There will be two separate elections—one for the school and the other for the wharf— both to be held at the same time, however. By this method it will be pos- sible to either defeat or carry one or both of the measures. The requisite petition from 300 qualified electors calling for a special election, as provided lor by the new town charter, has been in circulation for the past two weeks, and up till this afternoon it had 138 signatures. The majority of these were received in West Berkeley. Its reception m East Berkeley does not seem to have been very cordial, it having been in circulation for four days in that district and received only about thirty-five names. It is the 1 purpose of its circulators and supporters to have it ready for presentation to the Town Board at its next meeting, to be held Jan- uary 3. The board willthen pass an ordi- nance calling for the election and setting a date therefor. The ordinance is already prepared, fix- ing tne precincts, each ward constituting: a precinct, excepting Ward 3, which will be divided, as it was at the last election, into sections distinguished as 3 A and 3 B. The polling places will be the same as they were at the last municipal election. Codifying; Town Ordinances. BERKELEY, CjvL. r Dec. 28.—The Board of Town Trustees mot last evening as a committee of the whole for the purpose of colifying the town ordinances. It was de- rided to re-enact the ordinance as it for- merly stood regulating the speed of electric cars. It limit* the speed of cars to ten miles an hour within the borders of the town and to eight miles per hour on Cen- ter street, Shattuck avenue, AUston way, Oxford street, Dana street and Dwight way. It was decided that the riding of tricy- cles and velocipedes on the sidewalk, as is done by children, is harmless and it will no longer be prohibited. Technical defects were found in the pe- nal clauses of the ordinances regulating the erection and maintenance of wires and poles, the laying of sewer- pipes, the dis- charging of firearms and the conduct of wash houses. These were corrected, and the ordinances will be passed as changed at the next regular board meeting. The sense of the last-named law will also be altered, the board having decided to strike out that section which prohibits work in laundries between the hours of 10 p. m. and 6a. m. or on Sundays. An Inoperative Ordinance. BERKELEY, Cal., Dec. 28.— 1n codify- ing Berkeley's ordinances a discovery has been made which displays a curious state of affairs in nninicipal law. There is an ordinance in existence declaring itunlaw- lul fur the Southern Pacific Company or any other company to allow its passenger trains to cross Delaware street without tirst coming to a halt. The ordinance was passed about a year aeo, and a general impression existed that it had been re- pealed, as the railroad company has not paid the slightest attention to it. This in- operative ordinance was considered by the Town Trustees last evening in committee meeting and will be repealed probably at their next regular nieeiinjr. Trustee Hoff stated tbat the Southern Paciric said they would take off the local train if the ordi- nance was enforced* "We could not afford to lose the local service, so we let the matter go." Itis said that the ccmnanv will of its own accord have its through trains stop at West Berkeley, where a streetcar system is established between the east and west ends of town. Gone Yachting.

NOT IN HARMONY.One Band of Professional Musicians

Threaten Another With Arrestfor Burglary.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call,)908 Broadway, Dec. 28. \

The rivalrybetween the Fifth Infantryband and the Oakland professional band,which is an offshoot of its rival, may prob-ably be taken into the courts. The in-fantry band has been since its organiza-tion under the direction of "W. Mcßain.There was dissatisfaction in the band, andon recommendation of Director McßainColonel Fairbanks ordered the dischargeof six of its members. The dischargedmembers formed a rival band, but eachmember had an interest in the music,which is valued at $-000.

The question of the right of ownershipof the music which the band I.ad accumu-lated then arose. Previously the musichad been stored in the bandroom at LowerBroadway, and at the time of the split abig extra padlock was placed on the doorto prevent the music being spirited away.Later itwas carted to the armory of theregiment and placed under the care of thearmorer.

>"o sooner had the discharged menlearned of the removal than they notifiedMcßain that if the music was not restoredto its former place on the following daythose who presumably had taken itawaywould be arrested on the cbarue ofburglary. Attorney Lin Church was re-tained to look after the interests of thosewho had been discharged. Then Mcßain sparty secured an attorney, and said they,too, were ready for war.

The question of ownership will besettled next week, amicably, if possible,but, ifnot, then by resorting to the courts.

POLICE AND POLITICIANS.A Discharged Officer Certifies

That Schaffer TookBribes.

EX-MAYOR PARDEE TESTIFIES.

He Was Censured by the Grand Jury

for Not Suppressing theLottery Games.

Oakland Office, San Francisco Call,)908 Broadway, Dec. 26. *

The rehearing of the charges against R.H. McCloud, who was dismi-sed from thepolice force a year ago by a former Boardof Commissioners, is proving very sensa-tional.

Mayor Davie, who is also one of the Po-lice Commissioners, refuses to have any-thing to do wita what he pleases to call afarce, and Messrs. Wilson and Piersol arehandling it alone.

"McCloud was fairly tried, Ibelieve, ayear ago," said the Mayor to-day, "and Isee no reason for wasting my time all daylistening to the case.

"R. H. McCloud made a very damaging

statement this morning. McCloud wasthe officer who raided several lottery jointsunder instructions from Mayor Pardee.Chief Schaffer knew nothing about themtill the arrests were made, and this in-creased the iil-feeling existing betweenSchaffer and McCloud.

Ex-Mayor Pardee said he had beard ex-Chief Schaffer speak disrespectfully ofMcCloud. He said there was a long storyconnected with it, but in brief it was asfollows: During his (Pardee's) term asMayor he had spoken to Schaffer, who wasthen Chief of Police, about stopping theChinese lottery gambling in this city.Schaffer replied that it was impossible tostop the illegal business because the Chi-namen were too cunning for the police.Mayor Pardee said he had been called be-fore the Grand Jury and asked why he didnot have the Chinese gambling homesshut up. He told the jury what Schafferhad said and the jury then admonishedhim that he should do all in his power tostop the lotteries running in the city.

He then had another talk with Sohafferabcut the matter, with no more satisfac-tory result. A few days later McCloudwas in the Mayor's office on other businessand he (the Mayor) remarked that it wasstrange the Police Department could notstop the lottery gambling. McCloud re-plied that it could be stopped and offeredto put in his vocation, ifauthorized by theMayor, in raiding the joints. This wasdone and in a couple of days McCioudmade many arrests.

After this Schaffer went into the Mayor'soffice and complained that McCioud hadexceeded his authority. Schaffer ma-ligned McCloud and Dr. Pardee said thatMcCloud naturally returned the compli-ment, but not to such a degree as did thethen Chief.

Sheriff \Y hite testified against the char-acter of Officer Lamping, and ?o did somecitizens. Lamping is one of Schaffer'switnesses.

R. H. McCloud testified in his own be-'

ball, that while the circus was in town the ;

IN THE CEOW'S-NEST.A Great Outlook Over the Beautiful

Antarctic Scenery.

On December 7 Isighted the edge of theice-pack from the cro-v's-nest and shotmy first seal, which was of the white kind,its skin being injured by several deepscratches. It was cold up in the whitecask up on the maintop that morning.Before us were tne icefields, with thestrong ice-blink in the air above us; andas we drew near to the edge the snow-white petrels became more and more nu-merous. They are of the size of an or-dinnry pigeon, but much more graceful.Their largt eyes» are deep black, as arealso their bold, curved beak and their ele-gant webbed feet. They seemed almosttransparent as with spread, quiet wingsthey soared in the air about the crow's-nest, where Iwas hanging on to one endof a large telescope, heavy enough to liftme in seesaw fashion far out of the nestcv ry time Ilet it glide too far out overthe upper edge of the barrel.

Like the pricking of pins the snow-crystals blew against my face, and 1hadcontinually 10 dry the telescope glasseswith my woolen mittens, as the vaporfrom my breath settled on tne lenses innumberless crystals, and formed an extrasheet of glass. But they were glorious,those hours on the lookout! The air wasgenerally clear, and the human eye couldpee, even fjrom the deck, great distanceswithin thos* southern latitudes. Onlyfrom the crow's-nest can one fully appre-ciate the supernatural charm of Antarcticscenery. Up there you seem lifted abovethe pettiness and troubles of everyday life.Your horizon is wide, and from yourhign position you rule the little worldbelow you. Onward, onward stretchthe ice-fields, the narrow channels aboutthe ship are opened and clpsed again bycurrent and wind,and as you strain yoursight to the utmost to rind* the best placesfor the vessel to penetrate, your eyes wan-der from the ship's bow out toward thehorizon, where floes and channels seem toform one dense, vast ice-field. Ice andsnow cover spars and" ropes, and every-where are perfect peace and silence.

"We always observed the white, shiningreflection of the ice-fields in the air, anrtwe were thus warned from afar even of tnepresence of a narrow stream of ice or aniceberg. This ice-blink and the presenceof the white petrel never deceived us.

A PARDON FOR LAMBERTHis Friends Making Strenuous

Efforts to Influence theGovernor.

MANY REASONS ADVANCED.

Politicians Who Turned Him DownAre Now Anxious to Make

Amends.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call,)908 Broadway, Dec. 28. )

Within a few weeks Governor Budd willbe petitioned to pardon Walter Lambert,the defaulting clerk of the Oakland PoliceCourt, who was sent to San Quentin for fiveyears last July.

A very pretty and pathetic story is be-hind the effort to have the ex-Police Courtclerk pardoned, and although the petitionhas some very substantial support, everyeffort has been made to keep the mattersecret. This course was made necessaryon account of the storm of indignationthat would be raised by his many politicalenemies should the fact be made public.Just before Lambert emptied the PoliceCourt safe and went to Honolulu with thecombination, he married a young lady wellknown in Oi#dand, and although nearlyeverybody had marked Lambert off theircalling list, his wife thought she saw theelements of what might yet constitute aworthy man, and with this end inview,sheappealed to his friends to aid him, and theappeal was not invain.

In support of his claim for leniency fromthe Governor, Lambert's friends have pre-pared a lengthy prayer, and they base itupon the fact that Lambert, was a frequentsufferer from delirium tremens at the timehe committeu the crime, and had on twooccasions been locked up in the CountyJail on a suspicion of being insane. Thereis no doubt that Lambert was some-what demented on several occasionsprior to his levanting with $1083 bailmoney, but the jury found that he wassane at that time.

Another point t>ein? urged in Lambert'sfavor is that he came back from Honoluluwithout putting the tate to the expenseof sending an officer for him. Atthe timehe was convicted some surprise was ex-pressed that his old political friends didnot make any effort to rescue him, and itwas known that he had been turned down.

His return from Honolulu was promptedpartlj- by the promises of his friendsthat they would help to make good themissing money, and itwas stated that liehad the money in a safe deposit vault in

Oakland and had gone- to Honolulu whilesuffering from mental aberration. Hadthis scheme been followed it would havebeen an easy matter to have kept him outni San Quentin. But when he arrived in

Oakland the safe depofcit vault did notmaterialize and no one seemed at all anx-ious to heip th>? fallen politician. He wasspeedily tried, found guilty and sentencedby Judge Frick to live years across thebay.

The case was not appealed, and since hehas gone from their midst some qualms ofconscience seem to have smitten his oldacquaintances, and the present effort tose-cure a pardon is meeting with their sup-port.

Ai.ether reason advanced why Lambertshould have permitted himself to be sodissolute as to be rendered mentally un-sound is that bis iirst wife died after a lin-gering illness, and that his attention anddevotion to her completely shattered hisnerves. The petition was drawn up bytwo local attorneys, who express them-selves as confident that itwillbe success-iui, though they refuse to say whetherthey have private information that wouidjustify their hopes.

WHARF AGAINST SCHOOLEast and West Berkeley's

Position on the BondQuestion.

Some Idea Prevalent That the TwoMain Propositions Are Antag-

onistic—

News Notes.

BERKELEY, Cal., Dec. 28.—"1f EastBerkeley votes against our wharf we wi:ldefeat its school proposition." This re-mark was pas-ed by one of West Berke-ley's prominent citizens this morning,and in the same breath he voiced the sen-timents of a large portion of his feliow-taxpayers in the West End. There has al-ways existed more or less jealousy be-

tween the eastern and western portions ofthe town because of fear that one partwould outdo the other in the matter ofpublic improvements. Originally, thebulk of the population lay in the WestEnd, but as the university, which is in theextreme east end of the town limits, de-veloped to larger proportions, the popu-lation grew withit,so that now the ma-jorityof the citizens are located in what is

called East Berkeley. As soon as the newSchool Board was elected, last May, themembers began to outline plans for theimprovement of the school system in allparts of the town.

After much consideration it was decidedto ask the Board of Town Trustees for$150,000 to be expended in the erection ofnew school buildings, among, which wasto be a High School building inEast Berk-eley to cost about $80,000. The sum askedwas thought too much by the West Berke-leyans, so they compromised by agreeingto'vote $120,000 bonds for schools and atthe same time asking for $SO,OOO withwhich toerect a wharf. Some of the EastBerkeley people now claim that the WestEnd wants the $80,000 for a wharf, not be-cause there is need of it,but because theother side of town wants a new High Schoolbuilding. Though the election will prob-ably not f^ke place for another month,some preliminary measures being neces-sary, yet the interest already taken in theoutcome is noteworthy.

Out of fifteen merchants and businessmen in East Berkeley, who were inter-viewed to-day, all were in favor of incur-ring a debt lor new school buildings, fourfavor the wharf on general principles, fourwillvote for it because they fear that ifthey do not do so West Berkeley willdefeat their school, and seven will casttheir ballots against the wharf unless theycan be brought to see that itis a necessity.

Fear is expressed that the proposed newwharf of a mile and a half in length willnot be long enough to be of much service.According to the Government surveys andsoundings of the bay the new wharf willextend far enough to reach water aboutthirteen feet in depth at high tide andseven feet at low tide, while the presentwharf reaches the nine foot mark at hightide and three feet at low water.

The new wharf willconsequently permitvessels of four feet greater draft to dock.The sentiment in West Berkeley is almostunanimously in favor of the wharf, since itwill be built in their vicinity,but many areinclined to believe that a new high schoolbuilding is not needed, and that somemore grammar schools willsufhce.

There willbe two separate elections—one

for the school and the other for thewharf—both to be held at the same time,

however. By this method it will be pos-sible to either defeat or carry one or bothof the measures.

The requisite petition from 300 qualifiedelectors calling for a special election, asprovided lor by the new town charter, has

been in circulation for the past two weeks,and up till this afternoon it had 138signatures.

The majority of these were received in

West Berkeley. Its reception m EastBerkeley does not seem to have been verycordial, it having been in circulation forfour days in that district and receivedonly about thirty-five names. Itis the

1 purpose of its circulators and supporters tohave it ready for presentation to the TownBoard at its next meeting, to be held Jan-uary 3. The board willthen pass an ordi-nance calling for the election and setting adate therefor.

The ordinance is already prepared, fix-ing tne precincts, each ward constituting:a precinct, excepting Ward 3, which willbe divided, as itwas at the last election,into sections distinguished as 3 A and 3 B.The polling places will be the same asthey were at the last municipal election.

Codifying; Town Ordinances.BERKELEY, CjvL.r Dec. 28.—The Board

of Town Trustees mot last evening as acommittee of the whole for the purpose ofcolifying the town ordinances. Itwas de-rided to re-enact the ordinance as it for-merly stood regulating the speed of electriccars. It limit* the speed of cars to ten

miles an hour within the borders of thetown and to eight miles per hour on Cen-ter street, Shattuck avenue, AUston way,Oxford street, Dana street and Dwightway.Itwas decided that the riding of tricy-

cles and velocipedes on the sidewalk, as isdone by children, is harmless and it willno longer be prohibited.

Technical defects were found in the pe-nal clauses of the ordinances regulatingthe erection and maintenance of wires andpoles, the laying of sewer- pipes, the dis-charging of firearms and the conduct ofwash houses. These were corrected, and theordinances will be passed as changed at thenext regular board meeting. The sense ofthe last-named law willalso be altered, theboard having decided to strike out thatsection which prohibits work in laundriesbetween the hours of 10 p. m. and 6a. m.or on Sundays.

An Inoperative Ordinance.BERKELEY, Cal., Dec. 28.—1n codify-

ing Berkeley's ordinances a discovery hasbeen made which displays a curious stateof affairs in nninicipal law. There is anordinance in existence declaring itunlaw-lul fur the Southern Pacific Company orany other company to allow its passengertrains to cross Delaware street without tirstcoming to a halt. The ordinance waspassed about a year aeo, and a generalimpression existed that it had been re-pealed, as the railroad company has notpaid the slightest attention to it. This in-operative ordinance was considered by theTown Trustees last evening in committeemeeting and will be repealed probably attheir next regular nieeiinjr. Trustee Hoffstated tbat the Southern Paciric said theywould take off the local train if the ordi-nance was enforced* "We could not affordto lose the local service, so we let thematter go." Itis said that the ccmnanvwill of its own accord have its throughtrains stop at West Berkeley, where astreetcar system is established between theeast and west ends of town.

—•The Russian Charge at Eylan.

It was a raw and bitter day; during themorning there were occasional snow flur-ries, and at midday a heavy downfall.Benniesen seized theinitiative, and opened

the battle by a cannonade. Napoleon, di-vining his plan, sent a messenger for Keyto come and strengthen Soult. At9 the

IKussian right advanced and drove in thaiFrench left, which was weak, to the town.IAtthat moment the order was given forIAugereau and Saint-Hilaire tomove. InIthe driving snow they lost connection

with each other, and the latter wasrepulsed by Russian cavalry, whileAugereau's corps was almost destroyed bythe enemy's center. The dashing horse-men of Gatitzin reached the foot of thevery hillon which NaPO^on stood, and a

Banic seized all about him, not exceptingerthier and Bes&ieres, whe> excitedly-

called up the guard to save their Emperor.The. Emperor, however, remained calm,exclaiming "What boldness! What bold-ness I" The pursuers lell back exhaustedand Murat in turn dashed withhis cavalrytoward the ga-p between :the enemy's'center and right. So warn out wrere bothsides, however, that without a collisionthey ceased tocharge and began to fire.
