OAKLAND ALAMEDA COUNTY 000000000000000000000000000004 BERKELEY IS CONVINCED MORRA IS MAN WHO SHOT HIM Sheriff Barnet Takes Accused Italian to St. Mary's Hospital, Where Wounded Ranch Hand Lies, for Identification, Alameda County Bureau of "The 1070 Broadway, Oakland. OAKLAND, February 17. On the strength of a partial identification by Giacomo Canali, the man who was shot near Decoto in the early hours of last Wednesday morning, Charles Morra is still being detained in the County Jail, and it is probable that a formal charge of assault with to commit murder will be placed against his name soon.

Other circumstances have come to light within the past twenty-four4 hours that tend to show the guilt of the prisoner, and Sheriff Barnet, who has conducted the investigation of the case, feels that he has captured the right inan. Barnet took Morra to-day from the County Jail to St. Mary's Hospital in Francisco, and confronted him with Canali, who is lying wounded in that institution. The latter said that Morra bore a strong resemblance to the man who fired five sh shots at him as he stepped out of the ranchhouse of Enrico Gorghi, for whom he was working. He also the said to Barnet that Morra, is a of Borghi, and who formerly was, employed on his threatened kill him several weeks The pair had quarreled.

Sheriff Barnet took Morra to Haywards and to Decoto in the hope of having him identified by some one who might have seen him on the morning or the night before. The theory is that Morra left Oakland late Tuesday evening, riding to Haywards on an electric car and going from that place to Decoto, which is only six miles away, was taken to all the livery stables from which he might have rented a horse or a horse and buggy, but without result. He was also confronted with the trainmen who left Decoto early Wednesday morning, but so far none of them has been able to remember having seen him on that day. Canali is still in a critical condition. The bullet wound that he received in the groin is pronounced to be a dangerous one.

The other two wounds, one in the shoulder and the other in the arm, are also causing him trouble. Morra still denies his guilt, and sticks to his story of being in Oakland and San Francisco Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. His story contains many discrepancies as he has told it, however.

THREATENS TOSH SHOOT MAN WHO CARED FOR BANTAMS Joseph Berrosa Warns G. B.

Martinelli He Will Kill Him if He Leaves Home, and Police AreLooking for Aggressor OAKLAND, February police of Oakland are industrially searching for Joseph Berrosa, a recent arrival from Mexico, in the hope of finding him and thus prevent a Sabbath tragedy; for Berrosa has sworn to kill G. B. Martinelli of 464 Third street; and he has set Sunday as the day for the bloodshed. A warrant is out for the Mexican's arrest and he will be placed in jail on a charge of threatening Martinelli's life. A more serious charge may confront Berrosa, since in making his threats against the man whose life he seeks he used the United States mail.

Before the case ends Berrosa will likely find himself in the Federal courts. Berrosa came here some weks ago with a woman who says she is his wife and four bantam chickens, which he prized very highly. Having no place to keep them, he gave them into the care of Martinelli, who was to coop them and fedd them at a stated price per month. When Berrosa went after the chickens he refused to pay what Martinelli asked, and then a writ was brought before Justice of the Peace Quinn for the recovery of the fowls. The case went against Berrosa.

From then on he has been making threats against Martinelli. Last night Martinelli received the letter which warned that he left his home on Sunday would shot. The letter was 101- mediately turned over to police, Judge Smith issued the warrant for Bertosa's arrest OAKLAND LIBRARY TRUSTEES, GAZE ON THESE HAPPY TOTS UMP- OF TWO LAUGHING SNAPSHOT, COMIC SUPPLEMENT, CHARACTERS WATCHING PICTURE IS OBJECT LESSON TO GRUFF BOARD Snapshot of Children "The Examiner's" ComicSupplement Is Here Printed for Benefit of Library Trustees, Here is a picture specially printed for the benefit of the Oakland Free Library trustees, who barred from the library reading room the comic supplement of "The Examiner" just because the little children came into the room and laughed in their childish glee over the funny pictures that have caused the older children, to laugh a great deal also. While far England a philanthropic rector has opened a room in which he displays the comic supplement of "'The Examiner," so that the little children in that land, 6,000 miles away, can have their laugh with the children of California, the gruff and grumpy library trustees of Oakland don't want any laughing little children around their grim building ing. I.

L. Cook of 503 Scott street, this city, took the picture here printed just as an object lesson to those library trustees. He caught two little tots just having the time of their lives looking at the funny pictures. The expression of unadulterated pleasure on their faces struck him as just the sort of thing those Oakland library trustees should see in order to teach them what they were robbing the children of by refusing to let them go to a supposedly free library and have a lot of joy with Laughing Sam, Little Jimmy, Happy Hooligan, Foxy Grandpa, Buster Brown, Maud, the Katzenjammer Kids and the rest of the laughterprovoking people who make of the comic supplement a wonderland for the children of the poor as well as the children of the rich. It would be a hardhearted man--quite as hardhearted as the brutal and fiendish Mr.

Hyde of Novelist Stevenson's imagination -who would come along and snatch those comic supplements from the two happy children here depicted in Mr. Cook's excellent photograph. Yet that exactly what those Oakland library trustees many children of the poor, who had been accustomed to Sunday troop to the library frolic to have morning with the joily supplement folks they had come to regard as their very best friends.

SUES PARENTS FOR ROBBING HER OF HUSBAND Mrs. Marie G. Frostholm Alleges That Mother and Stepfather of Her Spouse Forced Him to Leave Her by Threats. Alameda County Bureau of "The Examiner." 1070 Broadway, Onkland. 'OAKLAND, February Mrs.

Frostholm cannot get her husband back she is going to have balm for ber wounded feelings at any rate. To-day she brought suit against Frank A. Ringel and his wife, Phinnie Ringel, her father-in-law and mother-in-law, asking for $10,000 damages on the ground that they have "induced, coaxed and coerced" her husband, Harry M. Frostholm, to desert her. The story of the incidents that have led up to this sensational suit is a romantic one.

Neither Frostholm nor his bride of a few weeks are more than -two years old. They fell in love several years ago, while both were attending school in Berkeley; but a quarrel took place between them, and while they were at outs the girl married, becoming Mrs. Gimmel. He left Berkeley broken-hearted. She was a dutiful wife.

Her husband died, leaving her with two children, and Frostholm was at liberty to court her once more. She remembered her old love and became engaged to him. They agreed to marry, but both were afraid of the parents of the would-be groom, who were wealthy and who were opposed, to the match. They eloped, being married in San Rafael January 6th of this year. But even after marriage they were afraid to confess their union, and Frostholm went back to the home of his parents at 531 Sixty-sixth street, Berkeley, while his bride went to live at 518 Eighth street, Oakland.

Several days ago Frostholm admitted to his mother that he was married, and then the storm broke. Mrs. Phinnie Ringel told her son that he would either have to leave his wife or give up all hope of inheriting any part of her fortune of $20,000. Other arguments were used, the result of it all being that Frostholm is now in parts unknown as far as his wife is conceded. She has employed detectives to find him, but they have.

not succeeded in doing so. She has gone to Ringel and his wife, and, humbling herself, has begged them to tell where her spouse was. They refused, and she had recourse to the law. She has not seen her husband since February 13th. FORMER MINISTER MUST SERVE PRISON SENTENCE J.

Alameda County Bureau of "The Examiner," 1070 Broadway, Oakland. BERKELEY, February William D. Armes, chairman of the Musical and Dramatic Committee of the University of California, to-day announced 4,079 persons attended the first symphony concert given in the Hearst Greek Theatre, last Thursday afternoon.

He has this to say: "Never before in America has a symphony orchestra played before so vast a number of subscribers for season tickets as were gathered there. That such an enormous number of people should care to hear symphony orchestra out of doors on a day a when rain seemed probable every moment is the highest possible compliment to the love of music of Californians, a and a splendid prophecy for the future of the Symphony Orchestra of the University of California, which the university now announces definitely as a permanent institution." So great has been the popularity of this undertaking that all regular season tickets, with a possible view of seating the people in case of rain in the Harmon gymnasium, have already been sold. It is now announced that season tickets purchased from now on must have the restricting clause stamped on them, "Good only in the Hearst Greek Theatre." The announcement states that the Greek Theatre is so large that every one can be accommodated there, even if twice the number who attended the first concert were to seek admission. If possible all concerts of the series will be held in the theatre. An idea of the size of last Thursday's audience is gained from the fact that the audience would have completely filled the Harmon Gymnasium and the Harmon nasium seats as many people as the Metropolitan Opera House in New York City, A much larger audience than that of last Thursday is expected for the Mozart festival at 3:30 o'clock Thursday afternoon, March 1st.

Alameda County Bureau of "The Examiner, 1070 Broadway, Oakland. OAKLAND, February sharp was the struggle between the Contra Costa Water Company and the Syndicate Water Company to acquire control of the mond Water Company, and thus gain one point in the battle that is now going on between the two great corporations for the control of the situation in Alameda and 1 Contra Costa counties, that William J.

Dingee, who lost, was on the point of perfecting a bond issue that would give him the mastery when the ground was eut from under his feet by William G. Henshaw, his one-time friend but now bitter enemy, who bought the plant outright and frustrated Dingee's plans. The story of the transactions that ultimately led up to the sale is one of shrewd check and countercheck in the game of finance and forms one of the most interesting chapters in the recital of the fight between the two rival companies. It is now out, in spite of the guarded silence of the officials of the two corporations. Dingee thought he had the battle won when be arranged for the taking up a bond issue to be made by the directors of the Richmond Water Company.

This would give him control. Arthur D. Thomson, a bond broker of San Francisco, was to make the necessary, negotiations, and the deal was way. It was then that Henshaw, getting wind of the scheme, stepped in and bought the property outright. This happened several days ago.

The plant will now be taken over by the Syndicate Water Company. The victory means much to the latter corporation, as It gives it not only the first entry into the field of Richmond, but it carries with it also a valuable water supply, which can easily be made to fit in with the plans of the Syndicate Water Company, which are to control the water supply of the foothills which can be used to furnish water to the inhabitants of Oakland, Berkeley, Alameda, Martinez, Point Richmond, San Leandro, Fitchburg, Haywards and smaller towns in the two counties of Alameda and Contra Costa. The Richmond plant is a comparatively modern one, and the water supply is good. Before the recent sale it was owned by the Riebmond Water Company, the controlling interest in which owned by the Tewksbury estate and John Nicholls, HALF HOUR OF MUSIC IN HEARST GREEK THEATRE Fine Programme Arranged for Concert This Afternoon.
