Cutting, in reference to the rt? of th r-ttv's storm sewer upon lands owned by Mr. Cutting, was read at the council session. The storm sewer for the Point side of town empties on what was marsh land just beyond the Santa Fe railroad. The land has since been acquired by the Cutting people, who are preparing -Jo fill in all of their land. Mr.

Cutting stated in his letter that the company would begin filling in that portion where the storm sewer empties in about thirty days. Mr. Cutting also suggested that the city continue the present sewer to the Cutting canal, where he would allow it to empty. City Engineer Hudson pointed out 'where if such an undertaking was accomplished, that at some future time the Cutting people might come alonj and demand the removal of the sewer or another continuance. And another thing which discouraged the undertaking Was that when the sewer was at the canal, it would be be- the water level, in which case pumps would be required.

The discussion of the sewer problem brought about a- general discussion of the advisability of constructing a fivefoot sewer through the hill whih would forever after settle the sewer troubles of the west side. Water Frequently Aggrevates Skin Troubles. In certain inland European districts where water is seldom used for bathing purposes the people are almost immune from skin affections. The best authorities now agree that soap and water are to be avoided in the treatment of skin diseases, particularly eczema when present in the scalp or on the feet, as water is an irritant, and when not actually the cause of the disease, at least aggravates it. For this reason prescriptions put up in liquid or soap form, or containing grease or alcohol, have always failed.

The new skin remedy, poslam, is a flesh-colored ointment, containing no grease. Under its directions soap and water are forbidden. It may be used on the tender skin of infants with soothing and beneficial effect, and in eczema cases stops the itching immediately, rapidly restoring the skin to its normal condition. Every druggist keeps both the 50-cent size (for minor troubles) and the $2 Jar, and either of these may be obtained at The Owl Drug as well as other reliable drug stores. But no one is even asked to purchase poslam without first obtaining a sample package, which will be sent by mail, free of charge, upon request? by the Emergency Laboratories, 32 West Twenty-fifth street.

New York City. HUGH GALLAGHER IS SUED BY SISTER' PARTNER Accounting Demanded of Share of Profits in Undertaking Business. PROFITS REACH SUM OF $15,000 YEARLY Plaintiff Declares She Succeeded to Interests of A. P. Smiley.

Miss Bessie Gallagher has Instituted suit in the Superior court against her brother, Hugh C. Gallagher, to compel him to make' an accounting to her of her share of the business which has been transacted by the Alameda undertaking firm of Smiley Gallagher, from the year 1897 to the present date, After setting forth in her complaint that she and her brothers are both residents of the Enclnal City, Miss Gallagher alleges that in March, 1897, she and Gallagher entered into an agreement to go into the undertaking business jointly and that to this end they entered into a partnership agreement with A. P. Smiley, it being understood between all the parties that the profits and losses incident thereto should be equally shared and borne by all three of the parties. BOUGHT OUT SMILEY.

Miss Gallagher further states that In December, 1900, she and her brother mutually purchased the right, title and interest of Smiley in the business and that while the concern paid expenses and no more up to about the year 1903, from that date to the present time the business has been thrifty and prosperous, averaging, the complaint, says, about $15,000 gross per annum, with net profits from 20 to 50 per cent of this amount per year. Plaintiff alleges that she has continuously and faithfully assisted in the conduct of the business since its establishment, thereby contributing equally with her brother to its growth and increase. TRUSTED BROTHER, Owing, however, to the confidential relationship existing between them as brother and sister, Miss Gallagher asserts that she has always permitted her brother, without question of interruption, to collect and handle all the moneys belonging to the business, without rendering an accounting, until March, 1900, when she claims to have made her first demand upon him for a statement of the business and a division of the profits accruing therefrom, which he flatly refused to consider. Miss Gallagher prays the court to order Gallagher to pay her a just and equal portion of the profits for the years covered, and for such other relief as may be just, together with costs of court. L.

BEBHI IS TO SEEK DIVORCE Denies Rumor But Not in Way to Convince Her Friends. SAN FRANCISCO, March 30. Rumor has it that Maud Lillian Berri, prima donna of the Princess company, wife of Frank Moulan, the comedian, and daughter of Fulton G. Berry of Fresno, is about to seek a divorce, and though the singer refuses to verify the report she also refuses to deny it with any great amount of emphasis and gossips are interestedly awaiting the outcome. "I suppose the story started because Mr.

Moulan and I are not playing together," declared the artress today. "I hear from him frequently, however, and though we are so far apart, there has been no talk of a separation, at least not yet." Miss Berri admits, however, that she might have told friends that she was going to assume a life of gay widowhood, but well, she was only in fun, she de-Clares, "and really she didn't think anyone would accept it seriously." Miss Berri is leaving for Los Angeles soon and unless she decides to institute suit before leaving here she will have to reside for three months in the southern city before beginning action. Jurgerwitz Case to Go to Jury Tonight Important legal business having required the absence of-Attorney A. L. Frick from the city, the trial of Fred Jurgerwitz in the Superior Court for hte alleged murder of Claude F.

Smith was interrupted today. It will be resumed before Judge Murphey of Mono county tomorrow, however, and the indications are that the case will be given to the Jury before night. The acquittal of Jurgerwitz on the ground that he shot Smith in self-defense is confidently expected by Attorney Frlds. MAUD All the members of the council expressed themselves as heartily in favor of the municipal wharf proposition, that of tunneling the hill, and at same time take the -sewer along. The sentiment expressed showed that the council is ready to take up both propositions and are only awaiting the presentation of petitions from the serchants.

A motion finally prevailed that the I dty engineer proceed and prepare "plans and specifications and estimate of cost for tunneling the hill for the construction of the five-foot sewer. Start to Be Made in Oakland to Test Efficiency of the Method. DR. FOSTER URGES ADOPTION OF PLAN Designs for Structure to Be Submitted at the Next Meeting. Two open air schools, for the benefit of weak and tuberculosis-inclined children, will be put into operation, beginning next term, on the grounds of the Swett school in East Oakland and the Cole school in West Oakland, according to the action of the Board of Education, who last evening decided to erect two temporary structures for the use of the open air schools an experiment, to be followed by more in case the trials prove successful.

The decision was made after a lengthy discussion between the members of the board, who were meeting as a committee of the whole to discuss the matter, and Dr. N. K. Foster who spoke at some length on the matter. Dr.

Florence Sylvester also addressed the board on the subject, speaking of the work done with the open air schools in other cities. TEMPORARY SCHOOLS. The schools, work on which will begin as soon as possible, will be temporary structures, each containing two rooms and capable of seating about fifty children. In this type of building the sides of each room may be almost completely removed, as well as sections of the roof, leaving the place almost the same as the open air. has been done in the East, the children will be wrapped in heavy clothes during the winter months, and the walls will be closed only In the rain.

The two schools will be ungraded, any child of delicate constitution from the first to the sixth grade to receive instruction'. Two teachers will probably be provided by the board for each school, and the teachers from the nearby schools will probably classes during certain hours of the day at the open air institutions, which, it is estimated, will cost about $600 apiece. PREVENT TUBERCULOSIS. "We need the open air schools as a safeguard against tuberculosis," said Dr. Foster, in his address to the board last night, "for a large number of Oakland's public school children are poorly nourished, and this condition is almost certain to render them suspectible to the great white plague.

The death rate in this State from consumption is appalling, seven out of every ten In this State's population dying from the disease. A number of these deaths are due to consumptives coming from other States to California, but still there are a large number of native sons who have the disease, which is very contagious. "The open air school is the best thing we doctors know of to combat this disease in children, as our schools today are very poorly ventilated. The schools Have the best or hot air equipment, but this equipment, at its best, is far from perfect. Rich food and close quarters, such as most children have, will bring their crop of consumptives, and the open air school, at any rate for the delicate child, will do much toward guarding Tuture generations.

"Children having tuberculosis, of course, should be segregated, and a few tents In which to teach them would also be a good move. It Is extremely dangerous to keep them with the others." Dr. Foster's views were heartily seconded by Director Evans, who urged the board to try the experiment and, if successful, recommended that open air schools be placed in different parts of the city. UNGRADED SCHOOLS SUCCESS. "There is no doubt that the schools have met with success in the East," said Evans, "and at the present time several California cities.

Including San Francisco and Alameda, are preparing, to try it out. The schools, of course, would have to be ungraded at first, but I have notices that children in ungraded schools in the country often are better advanced than those in graded city schools. This is probably because the lower classes absorb knowledge from hearing the older pupils recite. I see no reason why' the idea should not be tried out." The motion to build the two schools was made by Director Orr, and plans for the new structures will be presented at the next meeting of the board. Dr.

Foster and Superintendent McClymonds will consult together this week on the design of the buildings, and the cost of the buildings, and arrangement of details will come up next week. 18,000 Miners Due To WalK Out April 1 TERRE HAUTE, March 30. it was announced here that all work in the mines of District No. 1, which comprises 152 where 18,000 men are employed, would be suspended April 1st, unless an agreement was reached between the miners and operators.

"There's a Reason" Postum Cereal Ltd, Battle Creek, Mich. Delaney and Aliens Must Answer to Accusation of San Leandro Woman THREE MEN PLEAD NOT GUILTY IN COURT Mother Denied Warrant for AN leged Kidnaping of Her Two Children SAN" March 30. The arraignment of J. C. Delaney, an -attorney of Hayward, Richard Allen and Alec Allen, whom Mrs.

Mary Kovacs claims entered her premises some three miles out of Hayward last week, attempting to forcefully prevent her from returning to take possession, were- held in Judge J. N. Frank's court here yesterday, the three men being held over for trial on April 7th. Delaney and Richard Allen are held on three charges preferred by Mrs. Kovacs, who becured warrants for their arrest, charging them with battery, disturbing the peace and malicious mischief.

Alec Allen is said by Mrs. Kovacs to have entered the house early in the morning while she was driving her husband to the railroad station and persuaded the children to leave their beds, telling them that their mother was seriously injured and was lying in the road in a helpless, condition. According to her story he placed them, clad only in their night clothes, in the tonneau of a large red automobile and drove furiously down the road in the direction of Oakland. She claims that she met them and that the oldest boy, aged 12 years, threw himself upon the driver, making it impossible for him to guide the machine, when he saw that the man's story was untrue, and that his mother was uninjured. CHARGES KIDNAPING.

Mrs. Kovacs declares that the' man wished to kidnap the children and attempted to secure a warrant for the arrest of Alec Allen on this5 charge, but it was held that the evidence was insufficient to obtain a conviction and the less serious charge was placed against him. A "John Doe" warrant was Issued for Alec Allen's arrest and It was with some difficulty that his identity was learned and he was placed under arrest by Constable Ramage. The three men have entered a plea of not guilty, and refuse to discuss the case, although Delaney admits that he and Richard Allen were on the premises, but denies any knowledge of the taking away of the children in which Alec Allen is said to be implicated. The trouble, it is said, was the result of a dispute over the sale of the property by "William Sherwood to Louis.

KovaCs, Delaney acting as agent for Sherwood in the transactions. The latter's claim that Kovacs had not made payments agreed upon in the contract sale and the desire of the former owner to have the Kovacs family evicted for this reason, and the sale of the property declared null and void, is given as the reason that Delaney and Allen attempted to take possession of the place in the absence of the owners. PicKed PocKet of Her Old Style Dress SAN FRAXCISCO, March 30. The present dress reform in articles of feminine apparel has eliminated almost entirely the useful pocket. In consequence the light fingered gentry who purloin the watches and coin of the sterner sex have been forced to resort to purse snatching If they would ply their nefarious trade among the wives and sisters.

i OPPOSES ISSUE OF PARK BONDS N. K. Tidd Writes, Giving His Idea of Things as He Sees Editor TRIBUNE- As a citizen and taxpayer for about thirty-five years, I would like to ask you to print these few lines in your paper. In the first place, I would like to ask the mayor, and also the park" commission, what their idea is in bonding the city for more money for park purposes when they can't take care of the parks they have now. The present parks, in my opinion, are garbage dumps, by the looks of them lately.

We citizens pay taxes that are high enough now, higher than any other city in California, and I would like to know how it is that these parks are not kept clean and are not properly taken care of. In half of them the grass looks as if it had not been cut for six months. If it isn't cut soon we might Just as Well ask the citizens to vote for bonds for jack rabbits and let them cut it. The way the parks look now is a disgrace to the city of Oakland; they are full of dirt and filth, for want of cleaning. In the park on Seventh and Jefferson I have not seen a man for three or four weeks, except maybe on one day a week, and that on Saturday.

SOMETHING "ROTTEN." There is something rotten somewhere, as I think the citizens pay eriough taxes to keep a man at all times to care for those parks. If a city the size of Oakland, with aU of the boosting It gets, can't afford to keep a man in the parks, I guess the neighbors will have to get in on Sundays and clean them up, and give Oakland a little more boosting, the kind that will help it to get to the top of the ladder. I have voted for bonds two or three times and I have had my taxes raised as high as I want them. I can't see what good you have done in the parks. All you have done that I can see is to raise the salary of a few of the higher-ups, and lowered the salary of a few men who were barely making a living, which I think is a disgrace to the city of Oakland.

CONCERNING SALARIES. You have raised the superintend ent of the parks' -salary' from $90 a' month to $125, and then, from $125 to $175. Just think of lowering ten or twelve men's salaries from $90 a month to $3 a day when they work and raising the other man's salary if he works or if he don't. Why don't you put him on day pay as well as the rest of the men and see how he likes it, for he is no better and don't even pay taxes, as quite a few of the other men do. Furthermore, think of having a time-keeper to keep time for twelve or fifteen men.

and two or three bosses. There Ts- something rotten somewhere. If there is not change in the parks and the system they use taking care of them, you will see where your bonds are when the citizens come to vote for them, for this talk is getting old and is only a burden on the taxpayers. Yours truly, N. K.

BARE HMDS ARE CAUSE OF PROTEST Writer Upbraids Mother Cruelty to Her Young Child. for Editor TRIBUNE: Many times we have seen it and eevry time we do see if a feeling of intense bitter indignation comes boiling over our entire anatomy until we think we must speak our minds on the subject. We would like to enter upon a vigorous upbraiding of the unsensible woman in question whom we see leading, we suppose, her little child of 3 or 4 years by the hand. "Well," you say, "but what of that, isn't that all right?" far it is all right, but that isn't the poini That poor little bunch of humanity has a pretty warm checkered coat and paddies warmly gioved, but what of the lower extreme-ties? Look! it has only the thinnest of little white shoes and the flimsiest of little white sox leaving two poor little blue and red shivering bare legs exposed to the bitter cutting winds. REVERSES RULE.

What a crushing of the old rule of former days', "Keep the feet warm and head cool for good health." But this is only one instance of many of modern times where good health is forgotten in the practice of a mode in dress which by some is considered style and fashion. However, to see a child dressed as described above is a sign of a lack of natural mother Instinct to care for her young properly and a gentle form of cruelty to children. English sox and bare legs are the proper thing in the hottest summer weather only, and strictly out of place regarding health and style at any other time. Any woman who dressed her child in this fashion at this time of year has the letters "Fool" imprinted upon her visage by every one whose eyes come in contact with the unwholesome sight. UNDER BAN OF LAW.

It would be Justifiable that such persons exposing the health of little ones in their charge by this manner of dress be arrested for cruelty to children. Seeds of the dreaded white plague that we are so dexteriously trying to fight with money and brains can be sowed in childhood in this manner. Mothers and guardians of the tender young, take it unto yourselves; barring looks, how com fortable would you be with the English sox and dresses to the knee during our present wintry weather? Nurses and doctors, won't you help to thwart this silly, shallow brained, unsightly, health-destroying fashion? C. B. MeCOLE, Walsworth-avenue, Oakland, AUDITORIUM ATHENS, Greece, March 30.
