LATEST OAKLAND NEWS Morehouse's Interference With Assessments Is Condemned. ANTONE KIESOW IS SHOT. A Special Meeting: of the City Council To-Nlght-The Board of Works. It would have given far more satisfaction to the taxpayers of Alameda County had District Attorney Snook been at his post of duty during the past week instead of leaving the solitary piece of important work during the present administration to a deputy. The assessment of the purely local portion of the Seventh street track was made by Mr.

Dalton after taking advice from the ablest lawyers in Oakland. Yet Deputy District Attorney Church, acting apparently on the generous and opportune advice tendered by Mr. Morehouse, declared that the local line was a part of the general system and consequently not assessable in this county. On this advice the assessment-roll was reduced from $677,000 to $10. Deputy Church, who rendered the opinion, is a brother to Supervisor Church, and the vote of the Supervisor turned the scale, the other four Supervisors being equally divided.

Church's opinion is sustained by the arguments of Attorneys Moore and Baker, but as these advocates were present as the aid employes of the railroad company it is but justice to presume that Mr. Church was not influenced thereby. According to Mr. Morehouse two members of the Board of Supervisors are cowards and three something else. He said in an interview last Monday that the Supervisors knew the railroad assessments were too high, but were too cowardly to reduce them, fearing public opinion." Mr.

Morehouse's cowards are Mr. Pelouze and Mr. Johnston. The taxpayers' classification of the men to whom their interests are intrusted is, however, opposed to that of Mr. Morehouse.

On the whole, Mr. Morehouse's interference with the assessment proceedings of Alameda County before they reached him at Sacramento in an official capacity is condemned on all sides. As the result showed it was coercive and intimidatory. While the assessments were presumably "under consideration" (a term understood now better than a week ago), interviews with nameless persons and "prominent labor leaders" appeared regularly decrying the raising of assessments on corporation property as being calculated to drive away capital. As a matter of fact every newsboy in Alameda County knows that the working classes to a man regard Dalton as their idol.

Fortunately, however, the city of Oakland is not dependent for its "equalization" upon the Supervisors or Mr. Morehouse. The Council to whom this trust is confided pays very little attention to the pleadings of railroad attorneys and treats them for what they are worth. If anything were needed to complete the chicanery of the past week's work in regard to it has been found in the fact that the extension of time to the Alameda board was never officially granted, and that all its acts were If this point can be substantiated before the courts the thousands of small owners in Alameda County will have great cause to rejoice. The experience with the present Board of Works so far does not show any improvement over the old style, although its individual make-up is somewhat cleaner.

This week a Chief of Police will take office in Oakland who has never been a police officer nor a detective, and who has had no police experience whatever. He is a worthy man and a Populist, but beyond that nothing is known of him. The Street Department has undergone a change, and the same will be true of the Fire Department. But there must be changes, and to this the public does not object, but at present there is nothing to prevent changes every week, and any tyro knows that such an 'unsettled state of affairs is fatal to discipline and competency. The three-cornered Board of Works is likely to take a turn at any time.

One vote can change its complexion and consequently can change any office in its gift. Already two open conflicts have occurred, and Mayor Davie is at present of no more value than the third wheel of a bicycle, but there are indications that before next week he may have formed an alliance and be one of the solid two instead of the official lshmaelite. This unsettled method of running the city government will never be remedied until Oakland returns to its allegiance to the Republican party. Oakland and Alameda generally were "strongly Republican, as when they held the banner of this State. Although the new Chief of Police, who will take the office next Thursday, is not a detective by profession, there is a work awaiting him which needs only firmness end common sense.

There are a few ordinances and a few State laws regarding gambling and lotteries, side-door entrances and questionable houses that have not been heard of lately. Occasionally some little restaurant keeper is arrested for keeping open after midnight, or for trading without a license, but people have yet to bear of a warrant being served upon any of the political saloons on Twelfth, Fourteenth or Seventh streets, which nightly violate the closing ordinance. Oakland is not a hotbed of vice, but nevertheless there are dozens of gambling dens in the rear of cigar stores, and scores of unsavory houses which Mr. Lloyd will be expected to The interior towns of Alameda County have shown more public spirit during the pest six months than has been noticed for five years. the progress of San Leandro, Ban Lorenzo and Haywards is due to the opening of the electric road, this fact should act as a stimulant to the promoters of the electric road to Corral Hollow to continue the road to San Jose.

This enterprise, however, will not be fostered, as the Livermore Herald suggests, by a division of the county. The cost of two county governments is not going to promote progress, and is withal not a feasible scheme. The franchise for the Livermore road will be passed upon by the Supervisors this weekend, it to be hoped that no competing corporation has expressed a desire that ft be not granted. Stcakt W. Booth.

Strange Shooting: of Kiesow. Antone Kiesow met death at Melrose last evening in a manner that leaves some doubt as to whether it was accidental or a ease of suicide. Kiesow ran out of his house about 6 o'clock shouting "I am shot!" and the neighbors at once gathered around, but before he could explain how the affair happened he was dead. A charge from a double-barreled shotgun had plowed through his right side and landed in the roof of the cabin. Kiesow was ried about five years ago, and after one day of married life he separated from his wife and obtained a divorce.

He was 30 years old and was in the employ of the Alameda Water Company. Special Council 'Meeting. A call has been issued by the City Clerk for a special meeting of the City Council to-night. The subjects included in the call are the awarding of contracts for construction of sewers and authorizing the Board of Public Works to i construct an addition to the Board of Health building at a cost not to exceed $499; to instruct the Superintendent of Streets to repair Union street, between Twenty-fourth and Twenty-sixth fnniiiiimiiiiiii i iriTTfrnriT streets and, among other things, to pass to print an ordinance apportioning the revenue of the city. Violating Bicycle Ordinance.

Chris Nelson. A. Wibberand N. Taggart, cyclists from San Francisco, were arrested yesterday for violating the bicycle ordinance. The Oakland ordinance is somewhat peculiar, as it requires a rider on the sidewalk to dismount every time he meets a foot passenger.

The ordinance is never obeyed, except when the foot passenger happens to be an ambitious police officer. Yesterday the three visiting cyclists encountered an officer, and were required to deposit bail. Employs "White Packers. I. H.

TEN MILE RECORD BROKEN George A.

Nissen Did It in the Acme Club Wheelmen's Road Race. THE RECORD IS NOW 25:45. J. A. Clymer Won the Race and Six Riders Came Within the Former Record.

Five and ten mile road races have been of regular occurrence on Sundays among the wheeling clubs lately, but none have been particularly remarkable, as no records have been lowered. The success of a road race is largely dependent on whether or not the existing record is broken, and looking at it in that light the ten-mile race of the Acme Club Wheelmen of Oakland GEORGE A. NISSEN. THE ACME ROAD RACE YESTERDAY, a yesterday mv st be counted as one of the best races of the year. Six riders covered the course within the former record of 27 mm.

15 sec, made by William Christ of the Olympic Club Wheelmen last fall, and to George A. Nissen belongs the honor of placing the record at a mark low enough to warrant its staying there for some time to come. He rode" the ten miles in 25 mm. 45 sec. which Is remarkably fast, considering the course, and compares very favorably with the time made for a similar distance by the crack Eastern riders.

The race was ridden over the straightaway stretch from High street, Fruitvale, to Haywards. The club set the starting time at 1 p. hoping to be favored with the usual high afternoon winds, which would materially aid the riders, as it would be at their backs all the way. But, while there was some little breeze, it was not nearly as strong as usual, and the racers got little assistance in that direction; therefore their performances were all the more meritorious. There were twenty-four entries in the race, with time allowances varying from nothing to 6 minutes.

All started but one of the scratch men, Casey Castleman, who was not well and decided he had better not ride. W. A. Burke, another scratch man, was also out of condition, and, although he started, did not finish in anywhere near as fast time as his past performances would warrant, Castleman and Burke have Just returned from the Sequoia carnival at Eureka, where they did considerable racing and sight-seeing, and they were hardly ready for another speed contest. The handicap riders got all the place prizes.

The 6-minute men did not finish well, but the men were all up front at the finish, and one of them, J. A. Clymer, won the race, his actual riding time being 27 mm; 27 sec. He will never be allowed such a start again, it is safe to say. The following table will show the positions at finish, handicaps and net jriding time: not finish.

Oeorge A. Nissen, who won the time prize and established a new record, is known to the wheelmen of this State as a very fast and courageous rider. He has competed in many track class events and is on the March team. tenmile races is his forte, but at any distance he is a dangerous competitor. The record he made yesterday will stand for some time to come, the only likelihood of its being lowered being in the annual tenmile road race of the California Associated Cycling Clubs next October, wnen all the fast riders from the various clubs will compete.

The officials at the race yesterday were Captain John Kitchen starter; W. R. B. French, B. C.

Lund, M. A. Whiaaen and J. W. Finnegan, timers; E.

L. Johnson, 8. G. Scovern, scorers. The arrangements were perfect, the officials efficient, and everything went off without a hitch.

IV There were Six prizes for place, one time prize, and a special prize valued at $25 to the rider breaking the coast record. George A. Nissen wins the two latter. B. J.

boat and? rode from San Rafael. They enjoyed 5 an excellent lunch in Petaluma and returned in -f- the '3 afternoon. About forty men from each club attended the run. Merton Duxbury i started his long wheeling trip across the continent yesterday. He calculates -to! reach New York in less than fifty-nine daj's, thereby lowering the record made by T.

R. Lillie -of Lod in 1893. was attended as far gas Haywards by the Olympic Club Wheelmen, where they stopped to the Acme road- race. After it was over Duxbury started on his journey amid the cheers and well-wishes of the crowd wheelmen present. 1 HORSE BREAKING.

Thousands Attend Professor Exhibitions at Central Park. Central Park contained about 10,000 people yesterday afternoon to witness Professor Oscar Gleasori's exhibition of breaking in vicious and nervous horses. There were no accidents as on the previous Sunday and everything passed off smoothly. Secretary Holbrook of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was an interested spectator, but he did not find it necessary to exercise his authority as on the previous Sunday: Four animals were put through the usual performance by the professor with the help of his assistants to the satisfaction of himself and the apparent enjoyment of the spectators. The three horses submitted gracefully to the; professor's skill, but the fourth.

Dixie, a vicious horse belonging to C. Arata and brother of Monticello, Napa County, was not so tractable. Before the professor, got through with him he was, however, thoroughly cowed. Vacqueros from Monterey County gave WILLIAM A. BURKE.

THE SHELL MOUND RANGE A Number of Good Scores Made by the Enthusiastic Riflemen. 1 Battery Wins a Trophy and the Championship of the Second', Regiment. The riflemen assembled in goodly numbers at the Shell Mound shooting range yesterday.

The light was good, but the wind swept across the range in gusts, making shooting difficult, even those with fancy windga ages. One of the most interesting contests was between two teams of thirty-five men each from Batteries anft of the Second Artillery Regiment. The match was for a $40 trophy and the championship of the regiment. The conditions were ten shots, possible fifty, with military rifles at 200 yards. The match was won by the men of Battery who made 1324 points to E's 1285, a difference of 39 points.

He Claims That Town and City Bonds Are Invalid Under the Decision. C. C. Wright of Modesto, the author of the irrigation act which Judge Ross has declared unconstitutional, arrived here yesterday. Mr.

Wright was a member of the Assembly in 1887 when the law was passed, and has been deeply interested in it ever since. He went to Washington argue the case of the Modesto Irrigation District vs. Negea, now before the Supreme Court of the United States. Last evening at the Lick House he was asked his views on the decision and said "We were all very much astonished at the decision. Judge Ross takes the broad ground that water for irrigation purposes is not a public use.

It is not now a question of maintaining the district law. It is simply a question whether the people will acquiesce in the doctrine that the use of water for irrigation is not a public use. If allowed to stand the public could in no capacity ever exercise the right to use water for irrigation. "Another effect of the decision would be not only to invalidate the irrigation district bonds but also all the town or city bonds where the town or city was incorf)orated under the general statutes. He lolds that no opportunity is given property-owners, to test the sufficiency of the petition presented to the Board of Supervisors for the organization of an irrigation district, and that this deprives them of property without due process of law.

A petition for the organization of a town or city under the general statute is presented and heard under a procedure identical with that for a petition for the organization of an irrigation district. So if the district law be invalid for this reason, so is the municipal corporation act. There are probably as many bonds outstanding issued by towns and cities as by irrigation districts. So the decision would result in very great disaster outside of mere irrigation securities." Mr. Wright expressed the opinion that the decision would be reversed by the Supreme Court.

"If the decision should finally be affirmed it would mean good-by to irrigation by the public," he said. "The ultimate result would be that the landowner would have to buy water as he would merchandise at such prices as would give such a profit to the seller as he may choose to make. To illustrate the great difference it would make to the landowner, I will give an example. A private corporation has constructed a canal on the north side of the Stanislaus River to furnish water for irrigation. They charge for a water-right $10 per acre, and in addition charge an annual rental of $1 50 per acre.

The cost of water for twenty years would be $40 per acre, to say nothing of interest on the sums paid. "Compare that with the Tipton irrigation district, where the original cost of the works was less than $5 per acre, and the cost of maintenance less than 20 cents per acre. Other districts would show similar great advantages over the private ownership of water for irrigation." The Yacht Eleanor's Party. W. A.

Slater and a party of tourists from Norwich, who are cruising around the world on the steam yacht Eleanor, are sojourning at the California Hotel. The yacht sailed for Victoria recently, and, the tourists will go by rail to that port and there meet the yacht and proceed to Alaska. 5 riding time. r. A.
