ANTI-EXPECTORATION. 1 Ajopted. The ordinance prohibiting spitting on Adopting plans and specifications for the street and in public places was the sewering of Thirty-fourth street brought up. The clerk said that the Magnolia to a point 122 feet west- men had said. It -would be Just as dangerous to spit in the gutter as it would be on the sidewalk.

The ordinance could not be enforced. He would favor It if the ordinance were amended so as to confine its effect to the lire limits. It was ridiculous to think of pre- venting a man on a ranch in the an nexed district from spitting. There are many places, they have no gutters for half a mile at a time. As to Mr.

Woodward's suggestion about going on record, Mr. Woodward, he said, had already made a record for himself. Mr. Watkinson said the ordinance had not been enforced in San Francisco, and it could not be enforced here. The only thing it would do would bo to put the city in debt $25 for the publishes of the measure.

He moved that the ordinance be indefinitely postponed. The motion prevailed as follows: Ayes Brosnahan, Earl, Girard, Henneberry, Watkinson, Heitmann 6. Nay CuA-ellier, Pringle, Rowe, Upton, Woodward 5. The ordinance authorizing the Fire and Police Commissioners to put another man on. the police force and allowing the Chief of Police to select a clerk from the police force was read a second time and passed to print.

At the meeting of the City Council last night, Fred Murdock, Ex-Fire-Warden of this city was elected City Wharfinger, vice P. L. White, resigned. The resignation of White as City Wharfinger to take effect December 31st, was real and a resolution accepting the' same to enable him to accept the position of Constable in East Oakland was read and adopted. When nominations were declared in people.

I therefore place in nomination the name of H. P. Denning." Mr. Girard seconded the nomination of H. P.

Denning, saying: "I take pleasure in seconding the nomination of Comrade Denning. I think the office can be filled by an old soldier and I think we should give the old soldiers the preference. Before the election, everybody was willing to da anything for the old soldiers to get ineir votes. Mr. Brosnahan said: "I rise to place in nomination the name of a man who has a record as wharfinger and I know the city has never had a better man in the place.

He- is also an old soldier but I have net looked up his record. I place in nomination M. K. Houghton." Mr. Watkinson said: "Mr.

President. I have in my mind the name of a man. a good Republican, whom I had intended to place in nomination but I see that I am up against it and I therefore, -will not place his name before you but will second the nomination of Mr. Murdock." The vote was then called, each mem -ber signifying his choice as his name was tailed. The first ballot resulted as follows: For Murdock Earl.

BERKELEY, Dec. 28. At a meeting of the University Board of Regents yesterday afternoon in San Francisco the proceedings were enlivened by soaie caustic remarks on the subject of attorneys' fees. Judge Wallace, chairman of the Law Committee, reported that C. T.

Bird, who (had been employed as special counsel to foreclose a mortgage of $75,000 held by the University the St. James Hotel of San Jose, had been awarded a fee of $2,000. Whil admitting that the decree was binding, Judge Wallace said the fee was an exorbitant one, and that $500 woulij have been ample, compensation for the services rendered. In the ensuing discussion it was brought out that ohn B. Mhoon, the regular counsel ofj the University, was interested in tihe fe awarded Bird.

Judge Wallace suggested that inasmuch as Mr. Mhoon was receiving a salary of $150 a monWi from I the University, toe might collect his share of the fee and turn it into the University funds. Singular to relate, Mhoon displayed no indecent haste in doing this. Instead, 'he vociferated that such a proceeding on his part would be a henious breach of professional ethics. Profoundly Impressed by Mr.

Mhoon's stern devotion to duty, Regent Foote moved that his salary be raised. He thought $2,500 a year would be aboutj the proper figure. Regent Houghton suggested thatt as there was a bure quorum present, the matter go over till the next meeting, which suggestion was adopted by the board. Judge Wallace moved that the fee of Bird be allowed, but hoped the Regents; would profit by the lesson and prevent a repetition of such a condition iof things. The fee was ordered paidJ On) the recommendation of President Kellogg the following degrees were conferred: College of Natural Sciences, Degree pt Bachelor of Science Roy Fryer, Pomona; Rose Zellerbach, San Francisco.

ALAMEDA, Dec. 28. Serveral prominent citizens of Alameda have organized a movement to bring suit against the Free Library Trustees under whose administration John Harbourne was librarian, to recover the amount of Harbourne's defalcation. Harbourne cashed $2,300 of warrants drawn to pay San Francisco firms who furnished supplies for the library. He appropriated the money, and the firms are now -uing the city to determine who shall stand the loss.

The citizens who propose to sue the Library Trustees claim that as Harbourne was appointed by them he their agent, and they are therefore responsible for his actions. Tney also contend that the board method of conducting its affairs was 1 ose and unbusinesslike, and that rbourne was entrusted with mat-entirely outside of his Jurisdiction, id the courts decide that the Li-. Trustees are responsible for ne's defalcation the money recovered will be turned into the City Treasury and jew warrants drawn in favor of those forged by the absconding librarian. Captain F. A.

"Editor Tribune Sir: We, the prisoners at present incarcerated in the Oakland county jail, wish, through your impartial paper, to pay tribute to our jailer, Mr. Lane, who retires from his position as chief jailer on the 1st of January. We wish to express our regret that he is leaving us, as well as give our heartfelt thanks for his manifold kindnesses and courtesy toward us. Mr. Lane, although a strict disci-i plinarian, has always been a kind.

conscientious, fair officer, with a kind word of sympathy for those who de-, served it, and has never been known to have a harsh word for any unfor-1 tunate who has come under his care. He was prompt in seeing the sick attended to, civil and courteous to visitors, and his manner of treatment to-1 wards us has been the means of making our position endurable. We all join in wishing him a happy New Tear and success in whatever vocation he may embark. "PRISONERS, "per C. IMPORTANT INDUSTRY FOR THIS COUNTY.

The figures furnished by Hunt Canning Company of Haywards, giving their expenditures for the season of 1898, shows the importance of the fruit canning industry in this country. Their total pack during the season was 93,114 cases. The expenditures for the cannery, which does not include office expense nor expense of selling the output, amounted to $201,864.88, of which $72,666.88 was paid for fruit, $45,278 for labor. $40,660 for cans, $20,360 for sugar and $23,000 for other expenses. The pack of the company was one of the largest in the State.

As the goods are marketed in the East and Europe, the advertisement to Alameda county is alone worth considerable, to say ncth- ing of the money placed in circulation in the county. This company has made a great many changes in the p'ant and are contemplating still further changes for next season's business. DURIE HIETHEIR IS AT HER HOME.

The motion was seconded by several Councilmen. Mr.

Rowe said he favored the passage of the ordinance. He had introduced an ordinance on the same subject some time ago and it had been killed. He did not see what harm could be done by passing the ordinance. If it were passed it would conduce to cleanliness. The ordinance could be enforced.

It had been enforced in places in whith it had been passed. Mr. Rowe then told of a case of a diphtheretic patient in East Oakland who had been expectorating on the sidewalk and who had been taken in hand and confined in a house and thus prevented from spitting in places where it would do a great deal of bodily harm. The city had a good Board Health, which should be encouraged in its work to prevent the dissemination of disease. Mr.

Cuvellier said he 'heartily endorsed all that Mr. Rowe had said. It was frequently impossible to reach a seat in the smoking cars on the train without taking a foot bath through slimy and disease-breeding saliva. Mr. Upton favored the ordinance.

Mr. Henneberry said the ordinance was a rood one, but it would be almost impossible to enforce it. It would require the police force to be increased by 100 men more. The Council was going too far with these little ordinances. Mr.

Woodward said he hoped the members would place themselves on record and vote in favor of the ordinance. Mr. Girard said he thought he would vote for the ordinance, although he would do so simply because so many friends of his had asked him to vote for it.
