At a special meeting of the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners to be held on Monday afternoon the charges preferred by John J. Mulvey, a crippled newsboy, against Patrolman John Scan- Ian will be heard. The charges grew out of an alleged assault made by the policeman on the newsboy on March 24 and have already been disposed of in the Police Court, where Scanlan was ordered to pay a fine of $25 for battery. The Commissioners heard the charges read at their meeting this afternoon, but as Mulvey alone was present and no witnesses had been subpenaed they decided to set the ense for a future hearing.

A number of articles of clothing belonging to the latter were also missins. Mrs. McGinnis says she then visited the home of Mrs. McComb at 812 Sixteenth where the child had been in the habit of going. Mrs.

Mc- Comb told the anxious mother that little Birdie had been there and stated that owing to trouble between her parents she was going to her father, who is in Fresno.

"I am greatly pleased with my classes as a. whole, but there is one thing I cannot stand, and that is the continual buzz of talk that goes on in the back of the room while I am giving my lectures.

I am going: to take stringent measures next term to prevent any more of It." BERKELEY, May 6. Professor H.

Morse Stephens, the historian, devoted a part of his lecture In history at the University of California this morning to co-ed delinquencies. It seems that the srirls have not listened to Professor Stephens with the rapt attention that should be theirs and really have turned his classes into a sewing bee.

"I did everything In my power to reconcile the factions," said Dr. Coat3 to-day, "but there are some things that never can be mended. Each side thinks it is conscientiously right! We have not questioned the right of any of the others to think as they please. No harsh things have said and there will be no open quarreling. It Is merely a difference of opinion." In the meantime the old church.

Is not without a pastor. There are now two "ministers among the congregation, the Rev. John Barr and the Rev. CM. who will supply the pulpit until another pastor Is called.

The leaders of the majority faction refuse to talk about the affair, preferring that, 'the troubles be ended with as little talk as possible. Dr. Gilbert Shepherd, a deacon of the church, said to-day that there was no need for discussing the affair and therefore declines to talk, a position which he declared would be assumed by. £11 the other "prominent members of the congregation. Cards of withdrawal were asked for by the minority, composed o( some fifty members.

Wednesday evening of this week and last night a new congregation was formed at a meeting in the home of E. R. Barnes of 2220 Bancroft way. Dr. Coats, having cast his lot with the minority, was called as pastor, the following being elected: The factions first manifested themselves four years ago, but the differences became more acute a year ago when the minority sought the removal of the pastor, the Rev; R.

Lv Halsey. on the ground that the church was not making progress. But the majority prevailed and Jhat led to the Informal withdrawal of the minority. Dr. Hal- Bey remained as pastor until last November, when he accepted "a position as Government interpreter at Hawaii.

After Dr. Halsey's withdrawal the minority returned to the fold and sought a voice In the policies of the church. It sought most of all for the recall of two Sunday school classes that had withdrawn with it from the church at the time of the quarrel over Dr. But the majority refused to accept the classes so that there was nothing else for the minority to do but to take permanent leave. The Rev.

A. S. Coats, who had been acting In Dr. Halsey's place, bent his efforts toward a 'reconciliation, but met only with failure. BERKELEY, May Months of quarreling have ended at last in a complete schism in the First Baptist Church.

The final step was taken last night when the minority faction met and formed a separate congregation. It was all done very peacably, however, and with the knowledge of the majority. Neither side Is so bitter that it steks to disparage the other and the factions deplore the whole affair, while still maintaining their positon. The sum of it all. is that the congregation was not compatible and amicable disagreement was considered more appropriate than open warfare.

Charges that a husband's brutality had caused the insanity of Mrs. Cornelia I-enx led the Lunacy Commissioners postpone the hearing to-day until children of the unfortunate woman can be called before the commission to testify.

M. this morning to handle his interests, and to the lawyer he declared that Mrs. Lenz had been driven mad because of her husband's ill treatment. Taylor produced a leather thongr, which, he said, had been used in beating the woman. Attorney Gibson said: "Further than the h.isty conversation I had with Taylor.

I am uninformed about the case. He was very anxious to have the three Lens children taken before the claiming they had frequently 5ntt4fered when the father was attacking the mother. I made representations to the Commissioners, and the Sheriff was directed to produce the children to-morrow morning." Taylor resides In San Francisco. Lenz that the story of cruelty made out of whole cloth. He tells a story of domestic suffering borne of his wife's mental disturbances that is far from indicating brutality.

The accused man declares that for many months his wife's mind has been failing, but because of affection for her he hesitated to have her taken from home. Lenz for six months had been compelled, after a hard day's work, to attend to all of the household duties, cook meals and care for children.

Dasha, the San Francisco sheriff convicted of conspiracy in Chinese substitution cases, died at 8 o'clock to-night at the Receding Hospital, where he was taken yesterday afternoon from the Alameda County Jail suffering from acute heart trouble, the effect of pneumonia. Dasha failed rapidly from the time he began his term of one year's imprisonment a week ago to-day.

Mrs. J. C. Heacock, a young married woman, turned heroine this morning and paved her home at 213S Woolsey street from destruction by fire. With an Intrepidity born ef a desperate deeire to prevent the destruction of treasures she had taken years to gather she seized a red hot cpal oil stove that threatened- destruction and hurled it.

A spark frc-m a match fired the oil and suddenly a sheet of flame shot high into the air. The flame burned the young woman severely and almost blinded her, but she did not lose her presence of mind. First snatching up her baby that was playing about the floor, Mrs. Heacock ran to an adjoining room and placed the infant out of danger's way. Then she grabbed a blanket from a bed and hurriedly running back threw it aver the burning stove.

The names were already licking the woodwork near by. but they were Instantly smothered by the blanket. And although the stove was red hot, Mrs. Heacock picked it up and threw it into the back yard of her home, just in time to prevent its exploding In the house: The fire department was summoned, but by the time it arrived there was no fire to put out. Berkeley Office San Francisco Call, 2148 Center Street, May 6.

I made the accusation charging Supervisor Rowe with misconduct In office in behalf ot the of this county who wont good government and a expenditure of moneys they pay as taxes. While the In my accusation cite but few cases of overcharges and in the aggregate do not amount to much, still it remains a fact that this Supervisor's overcharges reach away up In the hundreds of dollars, and It Is a fact. also, tnat his mileage overcharges are trifling compared with some of thtse of ether members of this board. During the past year Supervisor Rowe claims to have made and taxed the county for fifty-nine trips of from twenty-two to thirtyeight miles each In length In going to and coming from Claremont Road District, which adjoins the city of Oakland, and for ven from twenty-six to forty-two miles each to Piedmont Road District, which also adjoins this city. He charaed and collect-i for eighty-two visits to the tunnel, which Is by road seven and a half miles distant from ths City Hall, for from twenty-four to thirtyeight miles each trip, and for slxte-n trips to San Francisco, which we all know is but eight miles from Broadway, he charged and collected for from twenty-six to thirtytwo miles each.

His charges for mileage are mtstly all fabrications, though sworn to. Ail I care further to Is that this ts the first of a series of prosecutions to be launched against local malefactors In office, both city and county Until the charges can be with the itemized bills no one can say whether they are corrept or not. It is known, however, that C. S. Mac- Muilan has been going over the expense items of the Board ft Supervisors.

Besides overcharging in the number of miles alleged to have been traveled, a number of charges aggregating $5 60 are enumerated where he has charged for traveling from his home to the Courthouse In excess of the number of meetings allowed to be charged for by law. It sets forth that the board is allowed meet but five times in each month, while he has charged for as many as eight trips. In addition to the charges, Gullbault makes the following statement: An accusation was filed this afternoon with the Coanty Clerk against Supervisor H. D. Rowe charging him with having overcharged the county in his mileage bills to the extent of $38 50 within the year and asking for his removal from offlce.

The charges are made "by J. E. Guilbaalt. a taxpayer. v.ho Bays that his only purpose in bringing the action Is for the good of.

the public. Supervisor Rov.e is out of town and a statement could not be obtained from him. Attorney Reese Clark represents Guilbault- Guilbaclt begins his complaint by stating that in August, 1903, Rowe charged' mileage to and return, placing the distance nt 102 miles, whereas the distance is but IS 2. His bill was allowed for $19 20, whereas it should properly have been for $16 80. the overcharge being $2 40.

Twenty-seven instances of the same sort are enunfferated where the overcharges run all the way from 60 cents to $2 40 and aggregate a total of $3S 50. Friends of Rowe state that the action is begun by political enemies of his with the intent to do him harm in the coming election, Rowe having announced himself a candidate for reelection. It is also said that Rowe aroused considerable antagonism by his action in fighting against the proposition to put in an expensive vault in the Treasurer's office at an exorbitant figure and that this has been taken as a means to get revenge upon him.
