A. GILLIGAN OF SAN RAFAEL, FAMOUS WITNESS IN THE FAIR CASE, WHO FELL DEAD FROM A STREETCAR IN THIS CITY. i SOME OF THOSE WHO WILL AID IN THE BOYS' ASSEMBLY ALAMEDA. May funds of the Boys' Assembly need replenishing, and that is the reason why the lady managers of that organization have announced a fete for next Saturday at the Thompson grounds on Hijrh street. It takes a lot of money, the ladies find, to run a boys' club, and so long as there is a stringency it Is impos- Fible to enlarge.

The money they got a while ago from the business men of. the city has been spent. Now the board of directors wants to begin as soon as possible classes and clubs to meet the requirements of all sorts of boys who do not get the ordinary advantages. The ladies want to give them lessons in history and parliamentary law and a number of other things, but they cannot go arcad without money. TTie is colr.e to be a wonderful Wheelmen Bide Exciting Races.

who sketched and painted scenes within the city limits purposely for the eouvenir booth. The booths are under the sunervislon of the following named: thing In its way. It will look something like the Presidio looked just after war was declared aeainst the Spaniards, so dotted with tents will the Thompson grounds be. Not alone will the booths be under canvas but there will be a series of tents where the visitor can go and have a little picnic or reunion on the Bide. There will be no need for other decoration either, for at this time of the year nature does all Its own decorating in the Thompson grounds.

Roses and carnations and every conceivable blossom is there. One of the unusual things will be the tallyho. Tallyhos are scarce in Alameda. This one will have a regular route on the fete day and carry people to the grounds for 10 cents. Its route will be from the fountain at Morton street along Central avenue to the grounds.

DEMANDS WATER FOR PROTECTION The Haywards Board of Trade Protests Against Delays. Oakland Office San 'Trancisco Call, 1118 Broadway. May 12. The failure of the San Lorenzo Water Company of Haywards to heed the protests of the Board of Trustees of Haywards in the matter of establishing water mainland hydrants since the burning of Hunt Bros." 'cannery has led the Havwards Board of Trade to take the matter in hand and to address a vigorous letfer of warning to the corporation. The citizens are enraged that the required protection against another such fire should not be afforded.

To the lack of water and pipes was attributed in large measure the complete destruction of the cannery. Now the work of rebuilding the plant is in progress. Thousands of dollars' worth of Inflammable materials are piled on the ground and' there is not a drop of water yet available for protec- The people demanded that a main and flre hydrants be put in on street to protect the cannery. According to the statements of President P. Wllbert of the Board of Trade not a move has been made by the company.

The board Instructed the president to communicate with the water company at once. In accordance with those instructions the followins letter has been sent to the corporation: Haywards. May 10, 1901. Mr B. Pierce, President of the San Lorenzo Water Company, 722 Montgomery street.

San Francisco, Cal. Dear At a regular meeting of the Haywards Board of Trade held May 8, 1901, the matter of the delay in the completion of the water pipe line and flre hydrants at the Haywards Cannery, thereby connecting the new 1 cannery building with the city water works, came under discussion, and resulted in a motion and unanimously carried, that the president of the board be appointed a committee of one to send a communication to the president of the water company. why this work had not been completed. The loss of this vast industry by flre but a few weeks ago, when the citizens of this city were obliged to stand by and see it totally destroyed, powerless to do anything to stop the conflagration from the lack of water, is still in their minds, and naturally much apprehension is felt lest, the new building, which ia rapidly nearing completion, might go the same as the first before the water system, which the City Council has ordered completed, Is even begun, owing to the dilatory tactics of the water company. The feelings of the citizens are so harassed by the tardy action of the company that the agitation for a' municipal ownership of city water will not go long, unheeded.

The community, through their Board of Trade, desire to enter their solemn protest to further unnecessary delay In the completion of this work for the protection of this most important industry. Thanking you in advance for your prompt attention to this matter and hoping that you will see the Justice of our demand and be willing to at once co-operate with us, believe me, very truly and respectfully. WJLBERT President of the Haywards Board of Trade. Killed in the Mine Shaft. JAMESTOWN, May Thomas Arrivy, native of Louisiana, 52 years old was killed In the shaft of the Santa Ysabel mine this morning.

His failure to securely fasten a car in the hoist caused his death. Did It Start in PittsburgP It is a rather startling proposition that the Chinese disturbance had its origin here in Plttsburg, but such Is the allegation made by Brooks Adams in the Atlantic. His theory -Is that when the Carnegie Company announced Its ability to turn out steel rails at $18 a ton the trouble began in the resolve of Europe that it must possess the rich iron and coal fields of China. That was in 1897. Germany at once seized Kalochau; England soon afterward grabbed Wei -Hal- Wei; Russia, on behalf of itself and France, took over Port Arthur and began the'occupation of Manchuria.

The result was the explosion in 1899, and the end has not yet Pittsburg Dispatch. 'r'. Flight of Fast Pigeons. SAN JOSE, May initial fly of the San Jose Homing and Pigeon Society to-day between Salinas and this city had eleven entries and was a success. A bird belonging to Fred Kell won first prize and F.

WOODLAND; May Woodland defeated Marysville by a score of 6 to 3. The feature of the game was Hanson's home run. OAKLAND, May 12. The Building Trades Council at a special has unanimously resolved to refuse to handle In construction work door or sashes coming from any mill working under a schedule other than that adopted by the board of arbitration on the recent mlllmen'g strike. Boycott Doors and Sashes.

Leahy's Injuries are on the left side of his head, and he was lying on that side when the police found his unconscious form. There was a severe scalp wotpd, a cash of at least five inches, which might have been caused by striking the sharp edge of the steel railway tracks. Beneath the ugly cut was the fracture, a bad compound and comminuted break in the skull. Leahy regained his senses very slowly. The fact that he did recover his faculties at all Is an excellent surgical indication that the operation relieved all of the pressure upon the brain.

Leahy's residence Is at 1203 Twentyfourth avenue. The detectives are inclined to believe that Leahy fell and struck his! head on the railroad tracks, while stumbling along the roadway in an intoxicated condition. That apptars to be the correct solution. That Leahy was not crushed to death under the wheels of a passing freight train is remarkable. How long he had been lying- on the tracks he does not know nor could the police get any information that would clear up the mystery.

There was no evidence, except the injuries themselves, to indicate foul play. What personal effects the younjr man had were all intact. He missed nothing and does not believe he was struck down for purposes of robbery. Leahy could not say whether he had been fighting or quarreling during his wanderings, and the police cannot say whether he was clubbed and knocked insensible by some unknown man, who might have Quarreled with him- Lying between the Southern Pacific railroad tracks, unconscious and bleeding, with his skull fractured and a deep gash in his scalp, William Leahy, a boilermaker, 19 years old, was found by the police at Twenty-third avenue crossing at 2:30 o'clock this morning. The injured man was hurried to the Receiving Hospital, where Dr.

R. T. Stratton attended the patient, trephining the skull to relieve the pressure on the brain, and in all probability saving the young man's life. Leahy does not know how he sustained the injury. When he regained consciousness to-day, he had no recollection of any events subsequent to his departure from a saloon on Twenty-third avenue, where he had been drinking heavily during the evening.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, May 12.. Found Lying on Railroad Track With a Fractured Skull. WILLIAM LEAHY RAS CLOSE CALL "I discovered sufficient evidence to me that the boy had been misused. When the father and the marshal came to my residence I told them I didn't know where the boy was. and that is a fact.

I had supposed that the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children'had taken him, pending, an Investigation." Dr. W. Allen Bald: "My connection with this matter is simply that I was requested as a member of the school board to make an investigation to ascertain, why the child was not attending school: I learned that the boy was in the hands of Mrs. Rose, who was taking care of the little felfow. He had told her.

ho did notdarei to go home because he would be beaten to death. Mr. Bird has submitted the circumstances to a cromlnent flrm of Oakland attorneys and now they are considering- the advisability of submitting the case to the next Grand Jury or of immediately proceeding against all i the parties who were responsible for the kidnaping of the Bird child. Dr. Allen's position in the matter Is puzzling the Birds and Marshal Kerns of Berkeley very much.

On Friday morning Dr. Allen telephoned Marshal Kerns that he knew where the. child could be found, but on Sunday morning, when Kerns brought the doctor out of his bed and demanded of Allen the whereabouts of young the doctor flatly refused to give any information. Walter Bird has been connected for many years with the Southern Pacific headquarters in San Francisco. Many of influential friends connected with the company have offered him all the assistance In their power to.

unravel the mystery surrounding the abduction of his boy. Bird to-night prepared, under the advice of his attorneys, a written statement, which is as follows: The parent insists he will run to the last thread every circumstance surrounding the affair, with particular reference to the actions of Dr. W. Allen and of Mrs. Rose.

This occurred in the face of the fact that the Birds reside directly across the street from the Rose dwelling. Mr. Bird is up in arms because of Mrs. Rose's story of persecution to the child, who, she asserted, had run away from home becauso of ill treatment. The angry father has not only enlisted the aid of the legal department of the county, but he has retained private counsel to go into the case.

BERKELEY, May W. M. Bird, father of seven-year-old Harry Bird, whose disappearance and recovery were marked by peculiar circumstances, has appealed to District Attorney Allen for a thorough official investigation of the conduct of Mrs. J. J.

Rose, neighbor of the Birds, who kept the child four days without telling the distracted parents where he was hidden. Harry Bird's Father Says His Little Boy Was Stolen. ASKS ARREST OF MRS. ROSE OAKLAND. May 12.

It was claimed by Mrs. Nettie R. Craven that the late Senator Fair made a will in her house at 2007 California street on September 24, 1894, which was disputed by the Fair heirs. Several witnesses were brought from 3an Rafael to testify for the heirs, and they all swore that Senator Fair was in San Rafael on the day mentioned. When asked as to why they so positively recollected the exact day, they all fixed it by the fact that Gilligan, who was then a hack owner, drove in that day with his hack from Petaluma.

Lindblom. the Nome mining king, was seriously Injured this afternoon at the corner of Telegraph avenue and Stuart street, Berkeley. Lindblom was operating the machine when it capsized, throwing: him and three companions headlonp: into the street and turning on top of them. To add to the seriousness of the accident, the machine caught fire and threatened to cremate the imprisoned men, until, happily, an employe of an automobile agency happened along and extinguished the flames, at the same time stopping the machinery that was whirring at top speed. The four men were dragged from under the auto and sent to Lindblom's residence at Farker and Hillegass streets, Berkeley, where they were given such medical attention as the Injuries required.

Lindblom was seriously cut and bruised about the head and face. He was ordered to bed and the house attendants refused to allow him to be seen. 'They declined to give the identity of Lindblom's companions, asserting that they were only casual acquaintances, whose names the injured chaffeur did not know. The machine was a total wreck, being smashed beyond repair, judging from its appearance as it lay in the ditch at the street crossing 1 The primary cause of the accident was a eust of wind that blew Lindblom's hat off while he was racing down Telegraph avenue aealnst an electric car. The auto was running at a very high speed.

When the hat sailed off Lindblom started to turn about to go after his headgear. Without slacking the speed of the machine he twisted it around. The forward wheels struck the street car tracks on an angle and over went the machine and the into the street. Lindblom's companions were not so badly hurt as he was. but all four were shaken up and are much the worse for the experience.

Erik Lindblom Meets With an Exciting Accident. CAUGHT BENEATH AN AUTOMOBILE In many respects Mr. Brayton had a remarkable career. He was the son of A. P.

Brayton, one of the founders of the Pacific Iron 'Works of San Francisco. The young man was born In Oakland thirtyfour years ago. He was educated In public schools of this city and at a private institution in the East. With an hereditary tendency, the youth decided to become a mechanic and entered his father's machine shops as an apprentice, serving his time at forge and lathe until he was graduated as a skilled Journeyman. This experience stood him In good hand.

With his father and brother he took hold of the Pelton water wheel, a device which by his own well directed technical and commercial skill he developed as one of the great mechanical inventions of the day. After securing patents and starting preliminaries Mr. Brayton placed the wheel on the market, and it Is nowknown throughout the world. On the social side his successes were as notable. A patron of the clubs, he ranked among the most popular men whose faces are familiar at the Bohemian Club across the bay and among the Athenians in Oakland.

His standing here is attested by the fact that he was a president of the Athenian Club, and his administration was one of note. To intimates he was Bert Brayton. a splendid companion and a true friend. There will be many who will miss his frank and pleasant personality and many will sincerely mourn with the bereaved parents and brother. The family la one of the oldest In this county.

An uncle was the head of the Brayton school, which was the forerunner of the University of California. Mr. Brayton was unmarried. His brother Is E. L.

Brayton. He was affiliated with the Masonic fraternity. The funeral arrangements have not been completed. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, May 12. A.

P. Brayton manager of the Pelton Water Wheel Company of San Francisco, prominent In the Industrial affairs of the State, a leader In Oakland social and club life, a stanch friend, genial and warm-hearted, passed away to-night at 6:40 o'clock at his residence, 1167 Jackson street, after an Illness of only five days. He was attacked by pneumonia. The shock occasioned by the announcement of the death of the young business man was most profound. The suddenness of the untimely call added to the distress which will fill many hearts when the wide circle of friends learns the sad tidings.

Taken ill last Tuesday, Mr. Brayton became steadily worse. Dr. A. Liliencrantz was summoned, and all of the skill that medical science could command was exerted.

Last night the patient was so much feebler that Dr. P. L. "Wheeler was called Into consultation. Passes Away After an Illness Lasting Only Five Days.
