THE SAN FRA NCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, APRIL v13, 1895. . 11 DAKLAND 7O SAN JOSE. Plans for the Forty-Mile Boule- vard Are Taking Shape. MASS-MEETING TO BE HELD. The Good Roads Association Asks the Co-operation of Citi- zens. The wheelmen and horsemen of Oakland as well as the citizens of the town have taken up the idea of a boulevard from Oak- land to San Jose with a vim, and the mass- meeting which has been called by the Ala- County Good Roads Association at Reliance Clubrooms on the evening of the 23d inst., will, doubtless, be largely at- tended. cular letters will be sent out to-day to several hundred gentlemen who are known to be interested in the good roads question, urgently requesting them to be on hand to give their views on the matter, and to lend their aid to a speedy. consummation of the nroject. John A. Britton, chairman of the asso- ciation, who is one of the most ardent ad- vocates of the boulevard, has been doing considerable figuring on the probable cost of the driveway, and the best route by which it could be built, and is assured in his own mind that the scheme is entirely feasible both from.a financial and topo- graphical point of view. He said yester- day: y idea of the matter and the one which seems to meet with the most favor is to con- t & macadamized road forty feet wide by we call thy oad runs out of Oakland to San Lean- dro, thence to San Lorenzo, Mount Eden, Al- ¢ enterville, Irvingfon, Mission 'San d into San J me through a beantiful coun- is about forty miles. running through San coto and Niles, but it is not so favorable for a eviousiy mentioned.

The men average 161 pounds | in weight, and are in fine condition. They | pull the same stroke which Cornell used {in the Henley regatta and with which Harvard beat Yale twenty-two lengths in 1885, y The Columbia crew began training two weeks ago. Every evening they row over the two-mile course using the 'Varsity gig because their boat is not yet finished an will not be till within a day or two of the race. This, of course, is a disadvantage, | but the Columbias, on account of their | greater experience in rowing, are willing | to concede that much to theiropponents. The members of the crew are: Leon | Smith, stroke; Alec Rosborough, No. 2; | F. P. Howard, No. 3; H. H. Haight, bow, | and George Clement, coxswain. All the | men show up well and are mastering the | details of the celebrated Bob Cook Yale | stroke, on which Trainer Ernest Folger insists. ‘ In boating experience the Columbias have a slight advantage over the ’'Varsity four, but two of their men have never rowed in a race before, and in fact most of the noted oarsmen of that organization | are now out of the city. | On Sessions Point a grand stand to seat 2500 people will be erected. The Native Sons are doing everything in their power | to help along the event, and Governor | Budd and his staff will be the guests of | honor. OAKLAND'S BURLINGAME: A Country Club Organized in ! the Athens of the | West. Rockridge, the Old Livermore Resi- dence, to Be the Ciub’s | Home. | Oakland is to have a “Blingum” of its | own. Plaps for a country club for Ala- meda County have been periected, and by the end of this month the organization | will be complete. | The home .of the new clubisto be at Rockridge, the late residence of Charles ) E. Livermore. It is situated within easy driving distance of the city of Oakland and | is an ideal spot for club purposes. The property has been bonded in the sum of §25,000—a figure which the owner refused a year ago A portion of the purchase price can re- N e :@i@éfiw a == <~ — =l b = RESIDENCE OF G. E.

Could we manage to build such & driveway it would be but a few years before it would be lined on each side by handsome residences. People who can afford their own teams would be glad of the chance to build on the line of | the boulevard, and such improvements would f course greatly enhance the value of the sur- Tounding pre ¥ : The larger portion of the expense would, of course, have to be borne by residents of Ala- meda County, as the line between Alameda and Santa Cin\‘ San Jose than to Oakland, but I have no doubt that Santa Clara County people would gladly contribute their share. The association is making rapid strides in many ways, particularly in membership, and long'we hope to have enrolled & large r of citizens who will gid us not only in 2 the boulevard plan & go, but inim- the streets of this town. Not a great ars ago Oakland was famous for her d handsome streets, but that is all ,and unless better care is taken of 1 2 the few roads that are now in good repair will follow the rest. THE COMING REGATTA. "Varsity and Columbia Crews Training Hard for the Race—Budd and Staff to Attend. Lovers of aquatic sport are eagerly look- | ing forward to the regatta which is set for | :he 27th inst. Interest in the event centers of course on the foar-oared gig race be- ween representatives of the University of California and the Columbia Boat Club, \hn_ugh other events equally deserving of 10tice are promised. :l'he Berkeley crew has been training .¥ith the utmost faithfuluess, and, under the able coaching of E.

This is because the Oakland | Country Club is to be the most exclusive institution of its kind, and its subscribers do not wish to be troubled just yet with importunities for membership from any of | | the ineligibles with whom they chance to be acquainted. 2 Rockridge isa_beautiful property, situ- | ated in the Piedmont foothilis. It occu- | pies a little valley just northwest of Pied- | mont Heights, and is completely sheltered | from the wind by great grassy slopes that i'are in themselves beautiful. The property | consists of thirty-two acres of the richest | land in Alameda County, through the cen- ter of which a tiny brook ripples. The land is thickly weoded, and presents a studied wildness and luxuriance of vegeta- tion which is indescribable. Palms, elms and orange trees and evergreens, acacias | and other flowering trees abound. On the property are two houses—one the {old Livermere homestead and the other | & modern country house in the colonial | style. Targe stablesand carriage houses, | a Jaundry, an engine-house for pumping water to the tanks on the heights above— all are in complete order and ready for use. Upon the grounds are tennis courts and links for the fashionable game of golf, and the club members are already talking of the possibilities of pools. The club has behind it some of the wealthiest men of Oakland, but it is under- stood that while it is to be very 2xclusive a large membership of the right sort of people is considered desirable. may Wherever the compass points there will be found Dr. Price’s Baking Powder. THE TAX UNCHANGED. The Chesen Friends Decide That They Want No Reduc- tion. Hardly had the session of the Grand Council of the Chosen Friends been called 1o order by Grand Councilor Selvage, yes- | terday, when a motion was made to recon- sider the vote by which it bad been de- cided Wednesday to retain the per capita tax at $1. The motion, however, was promptly declared out of order on the ground that the matter had ‘been finally | disposed of Wednesday for the session. An appeal was taken, but only five votes were recorded agaifist sustaining the de- cision of the grand councilor, and thus ended what had been one of the burning questions of thesession. Without loss of time the question of bi- ennial or annual sessions was placed be- fore the representatives, and after a short debate it was decided, by a large majority, to meet anuually, and April 8, 1896, was fixed as the date of the next.convention. 1t bad previously been decided to hold it again in this city. ‘The laws were then amended so as to provide for the payment of mileage and per diem to all representatives. Hereto- fore only one delegate from each council had been granted this allowance, all the others paying their own expenses, though in some instances five representatives were accredited to the grand council from a sin- gle council. A resolution was passed instructing the executive committee toappoint organizers, who are to be paid their actual traveling eo?enseu, $25 a month, §100 for each new lodge instituted and $2 for each member thereof. A rising vote of thanks was tendered the press of gan Francisco for the publication e addition of a | main on mortgage for ah indefinite time, | eedings of the session so fully. °|single excursion. One FESTIVAL DAY OF MAY, Ukiah’s Generous Invitation to the Half- Million Club. PRESIDIO TROOPS REVIEW. San Francisco to Don Gala Garb on May Day — Interior Towns Astir. All day yesterday the excursion commit- tee of the Half-million Club was flooded with inquiries and the club’s office in the Mills building was the scene of intense activity. Secretary Davis was scarcely able to attend to all the parties desirous of registering for the excursion to the fiesta. It is now absolutely certain that a second train will be necessary. The principal event of yesterday was a generous and magnificent proposition made by a delegation of Sonoma County citizens, headed by Mr. Sbarboro. It was in effect that the ladies of Ukiah tendered to the Half-million Cluband its excursion guests an invitation to attend a barbecue at Ukiah on May 3, and President A. W. Foster of the San Francisco and North Pacific Railroad followed that invitation up by tendering the free use of a special train to the Half-million Club and its ex- cursion guests to take them to the bar- becue and to convey them on a visit to the large vineyards and wineries of the Italian- Swiss Colony. K The train ‘will take the party from this city throngh Marin, Sonoma and Mendo- cino counties, running forty-six miles along the banks of the Russian River to Ukian, the terminus of the road, and re- turn. | The ladies of Ukiah and Mendocino County propose to demonstrate what true { California hospitality is. The entertainment committe, through its chairman, Alt Bouvier, has accepted the kind invitation and generouns offer and | has tendered to President Foster and his | company, to the ladies of Ukiah and Men- | docino County and to the Italian-Swiss | colony the thanks of the club. The tickets for the excursion are on sale | at the Union Trust building, second floor, | corner of Montgomery and Market streets. INTERIOR TOWNS ASTIR. Good Words Come From Bakersfield, Tulare, Auburn and Newoastle, Chairman W. M. Bunker of the promo- tion committee yesterday received from 8. | W. Ferguson, manager of the Kern County Land Company of Bakersfield, the an- nouncement that Charles F. Wilson and George F. Weeks would represent Bakers- field as delegates, and that 8. C. Smith and C. N. Beal would be the alternates. Mr. Ferguson stated that he had taken steps to get an expression from his fellow- citizens of Bakersfield in regard to the ex- cursion and hoped to be able to report fayorably from them. From J. F. Madden, chairman of the Newecastle citizens’ commuiitee, an interest- ing communication was received. He said | in part; Meetings of Newcastle citizens have been held, and much interestis shown in the ex- cursion movement. A Los Augeles Fiesta com- mittee has been appointed, as follows: Dr. Mar- tin Schnabel, T. H. Mitchell, William B. Gester, F.J. Mason and J. F. Madden. A committee of two—Messrs. Schnabel and Mitchell—will pro- ceed to Los Angeles. The other three members of the committee will, as soon us the north- bound exeursion leaves Los Angeles, ptoceed to meet it and assist in entertaining theex- cursionists, and toextend any required infor- mation, and will not leave themi until their faces are again turned toward San Francisco. Sight-seeing and carriage-riding will Yrcb«bly cousume all the time the strangers will be with us. It is quite probable that we will beable to distribute strawberries, and possibly cherries, to the people. In fuct, our part of the pro- gramme will be properly taken care of, and I | think we will send away a pleased lot of people | when the visitors leave us. Dr. Schnabel and J. ¥, Madden will rep- resent Newcastle on the permanent execu- tive committee, which is being formed in this city for the purpose of continuing the present movement of advertising the re- sources of California. Continuing, in his communication, Mr. | Madden calls attention to the fact that one-fourth of all the green and deciduous fruits shipped from California to the East in 1824 was from Placer County, and that the greater part of it came from within a radius of ten miles from Newcastle. B. M. Berry of the Auburn committee instructed Chairman Bunker that J. W. Morgan and J. M. Fulweiler wonld be the Auburn delegates to the Half-million Club excursion. The people of Auburn will furnish con- veyances to the excursionists, who will leave immediately upon the arrival of the train, and driven through a mming and agricultural country to Penryn, where the train will be retaken. A. J. Pillsbury of the Tulare committee wrote that his people were at a loss to know when the excursion train would reach that place. As the train is an- nounced to leave San Francisca at 3 p. . and arrive in Los Angeles at 8 A. M. he judged it to be a ‘“‘special” and a ‘‘flier,” and he wanted to obtain a sufficient delay at Tulare to give the citizens “an equal chance with Fresno and Porterville to show their good country off.” Sacramento’s delegates will be Hon. William Beckman, F. W. Pratt and R.J. Cohen, and Porterville will be represented by Emil Newman. —————— ENTERTAINMENT COMMITTEE, May-Day Festivals — The Excursion Up the Sacramento River. Alfred Bouvier, chairman of the enter- tainment committee of the Half-million Club, yesterday outlined the present plans of that committee to a representative of the CALL. *“The excursion,” said Mr. Bouvier, “will arrive in San Francisco from Menlo Park between 4 and 5 o’clock on the afternoon of April 30, but there wiil be no programme for the night of April 30. “It is proposed to make Wednesday, May 1, a May-day holiday, and all merchant and business houses will be requested to make as elaborate and brilliant a display of bunting as possible, in order to give the city a genuine holiday appearance. The committee feels sure of active co- operation in this matter on the part of the principal stores. On the 1st of May, the May-day festival will be in progress in Oakland, ana the committee on entertain- ment will, place itself in communication with the managers of the Oakland festival, and will make stitable arrangements for the utilization of that particular means of entertainment: Mr. Bouvier said: ‘We hope to arrange for a grand review of the troos;- the Presidio, and that will be a de- cided feature. On the afternoon of May day there will be a and double concert at Golden Gate Park, and fiis expected that many business houses wiil close in the afternoon to enable employes and others to enjoy some of the daylight attrac- lons. In the evening there will be the brilliant illumination of the bay, and it is expected that all the shipping in the harbor will lend a friendly hand to edd to the brilliancy of the occasion. On May 2 the bay and Sacramento River ex- cursion will be the closing feature, and this is l‘l:uner of vital importance to the general scheme. The trip up the Sacramento River as far as Knights Landing, returning hx train, will be the main event of that day, and it is n&u un- determined whether we can combine the bay and river excursions or whether to attempt a double excursion. The preference is for a the handsome side- ‘wheel steamers will be secured—the San Ra- fael or the Tamalpais, either of which can nav- igate the Sacramento River. After a brief in- spection of the bay and a stop at Mare Island, the stoamer will proceed to Knights Landing, iving the excursionists a view of the wonder- ully productive valley of the Sacramento, which, at this season of the year, is a veritable thing of beauty and a wholesome joy. The importance of impressing visitors with the fact that we have a navigable stream like the Sacramento at our very doors is obyious, and there are, furthermore, many people in San Francisco and vicinity who do not appre- ciate it and to whom this excursion may prove a valuable instruction. - “The committee,” concluded Mr. Bouvier, «finds the enthusiasm increasing, and a_grow- ing disposition on every side to iend a vigor- ous helping hand for the furtherance of the new, united and progressive California. The excursion to Ukiah, decided nupon yesterday, will leave Tiburon ferry on May 3at 7:40 A. M. THE GRAND JURY’S WORK, A Very Watchful Eye Will Be Kept on the Board of Supervisors From This Time On. The Grand Jury spent most of the time of its session yesterday in deciding upon what matters it could Best investigate, as the usual length of its term as a Grand Jury has nearly been reached. It was de- cided to take up the‘most important mat- ters; to take up no new business unless of vital importance; to ent off some business which has been well deals with, and to pay no attention to petty criminal cases. As a result there will be no more indict- ments of pérsons supposed to be guilty of election frauds, as_sufficient evidence can- not be secured. Indictments of persons owning houses of ill-repute and the in- mates will also be dropped, as the cases of those indicted are before the Supreme Court to test the legality of the power of grand juries in their cases. It was the sense of the grand jurors that there was a very large amount of important business for” them to investigate, and that they would be unable to deal further with mis- demeanors, The business on hand is likely to take all of the time of the Grand Jury for the next month or so, even with three meetings a week. It is as follows: Investigation of the Board of Supervisors, both in regard to Spring Valley water matters and the bitu- minous rock combine; the rumored frauds in connection with the ferry foundation; the increase in secretly granted divorces; straw bond matters; the actions of H. H. Davis and others in_ settling claims against the Southern Pacific Company, and charges which are to be mage by Mayor Sutro. George T. Gaden sent a communication to the Grand Jury that he, as clerk of Mayor Sutro, would submit some charges for the jurors to investigate at their next meeting. The straw bond investigation may result in the impeachment of Judge Campbell. The cases of straw bonds in his court are said to have been very numer- ous and flagrant. The greatest attention of the grand jurors will be directed to the matter of the ferry foundation and to the Superviso: Japan meditates division of China into three kingdoms. Purity, strength, econ- omy, are avowedly the provinces over which Price’s Cream Baking Powder is regnant. COUNTERFEITERS CAUGHT, One of Them Escaped on a Bicycle, but Was Eventu- ally Captured. The Wife of the Runaway Helped to Pass the False Coin. ~ The secret service agents of the treasury had an exciting chase after a counterfeiter yesterday. A man and a woman had been passing imitation $5 pieces for over a week and try as hard as he could Agent Harris found it impossible to run them to earth. The counterfeits were very pdor and in- stead of being molded were stamped out of a brass sheet with a die and then plated. There was no milling on the imitations and the wonder is that so many people accepted them. The last victim was Mrs, Nellie Herman, who keeps a lodging-house at 86514 Market street. Last Wednesday John Baddeley and his wife Laura hired a room from Mrs. Herman. }}addelc_v paid three days’ rent in advance and received change for a §5 piece. A few hours later Mrs. Baddeley got change for another $5 piece, as her husband was out. Before 6 o’clock next morning the couple disappeared and when the landlady came to examine her money she found it bogus. She had Baddeley ar- rested and taken to the Southern police station, but for some unaccountable reason he was allowed to go without being charged. Mrs. Herman next a‘;)glied to Secret Service Agent Harris, and he at once put his sons, Dudley and Roland, on the case. Baddeley had left his washing at the lodg- ing-house, and was to return for it, so the Harrises took up their station there to wait for him. About 7 o’clock, while looking out of the window, Mrs. Herman ex- claimed, *‘There he goes on a bicycle!” The two detectives went down the “stairs three at a time and jumped on the first car that came along. ~Baddeley turned up Golden Gate avenue, and the Harrises left the car and chased him on foot. The counterfeit saw them running, and, sus- pecting something, put on a spurt. He was rapidly leaving them behind, when the secret service agents saw a wagon at- tached to a couple of horses in front of a store. They wasted no time, but jumped in and again gave chase, while the owner of the team sgouted behind them. Baddeley was soon overtaken and are rested. When the owner of the wagon un- derstood that it was a counterfeiter they had been chasing he said he was lfhd the officers had taken his vehicle. Baddeley was taken to the County Jail and to-mor- row he will be turned over to the United States Marshal. ‘When her husband did not return Mrs, Baddeley went to look for him. As soon as she put in an appearance at 865§ Mar- ket street she also was placed under arrest. She refused to talk about the matter when locked up in the City Prison, but said she was married to Baddeley eight months ago in Oakland. Her maiden name was Laura Clark. Baddeleyis an engraverand printer by profession ‘and used to work with Han- cock Bros., the 1prim.ex—s and engravers in the Nucleus bui ding. 2 He answers the description of a man who hired a room from Mrs. Brown at 316 Third street and received $3 50 in change for a bogus §5 piece. He played the same game on Mrs. Allen of 414 Fourth street and Mrs. McCord of 423 Sutter street. ‘While he was working one end of the town his wife is sdpposed to have been operat- ing in the other. They must have passed great numbers of the counterfeits as they are both well dressed, and Baddeley asserts that the bicycle he was riding is his own. At the jail last night he said the whole matter was a mistake and that he intended making the Harris boys suffer for his arrest. He denies having passed the coun- terfeits, but the secret service agents say they have a clear case against him and his wife. Baddeley’s father and mother are a most respectable couple and very well to do. They called to see their son Jast mfihc and when informed of his arrest the old lady fainted. Baddeley and his wife will have their preliminary examination to-day be- fore Vgited States Commissioner Heacock. Easter Hats. Our Hat Department is crowded with Men's and Boys' Hats.

Comme.n:iuA i THIS 1S FINANCIAL CHAGS, San Francisco Has No Opera- tive Law for a Tax Levy. THE OLD LAW IS REPEALED. Assessment Completed Under It May Be Illegal-The New Act Tardy. Something in the nature of panic pre- vails among the powers that be at the City Hall in relation to the power to levy and sollect taxes. There was to have been a conference be- tween the members of the Finance Com- mittee and the heads of departments yes- terday, the City and County Attorney, the Anditor, Tax Collector, and each of these was present at the meeting of the com- mittee for a time, but they did not get to- gether, and no definite action was taken further than to determine to communicate with the State Board of Equalization, and arrange a meeting with them, to determine upon some ground that the city can take and stand to with the support of the State board. The fact appears to be Jthatjthe new rev- enue law has left San Francisco without a revenue law for this year. The old law has been repealed after the assessmént has been made under it, and the new law, which provides an entirely different method and times for taking the assess- ment, leaves hardly enough time in its change of dates for the levy to be made, even if there was money enough in the treasury to enable it to be taken. Auditor Broderick thought he had dis- covered a perfectly clear and lawful way out of it, but John A. Russell, clerk of the Board of Supervisors, has made another discovery that spoils all that, The law requires the Auditor to furnish the Assessor with blanks for the collection of personal tax before March 1, while the act was not signed and did not become a law until March 28, which Broderick de- clared was a fatal defect and practically defeated the operation of the law until next vear, leaving thé ity to work under the old law for this year. The clause re- pudiating all laws in conflict did not operate against it. _But Mr. Russell yesterday called atten- tion to another law, approved the same day, which distinctly repealed the old law. It reads: Section 1. An act entitled “‘Anact in relation to the assessment and collection of taxes upon gersounl property in the city and_county of san Francisco,” approved March 18, 1394, is hereby repealed. Sec. 2. All counties and cities and counties of this State are hereby required to coniorm to the provisions of the Political Code in relation to the assessment, equalization, levy and col- lection of taxes on personal property for reve- nue purposes, and all laws now in torce in relation to revenue are hereby made applicable to all such counties and cities and counties, Sec. 3. All acts and parts of acts in conflict with this act are hereby repealed. This is neither as desg as a well nor ss wide as a barn door, but it is enough. There is no cloud of doubt hanging over it. The old law is repealed. Now, the Assessor has about completed his levy of the assessment under tnat law. It is not done according to the provisions of the new law and is therefore not done lawfully. That is what the taxpavers may have a chance to say anyhow. Therefore there is consternation. The new law requires the personal tax to be collected in March, and it is now the middle of April. There'are many reasons why the tax cannot be assessed and col- lected under the new law this year. It is known that the repeal of the special law overning the collection of taxesin San ancisco, and the bringing of this city and county under the general law, was largely due to Mr. Morehouse, chairman of the State Board of Equalization. It was determined to communicate with him and the board, arrange a_conference and try to discover a way out of the difficnlty, which to the officialsat the City Hall seems just now undiscoverable. Supervisor Taylor, speaking of the mat- ter yesterday, said: ‘This simply means chaos. Ihad a longtalk with Governor Budd before he signed thisact, and pointed out to him some of the trouble it would bring about. He said in reply, ‘Oh, it will only disarrange your finances for one year.’” Itold him thata disarrangement of a few months in the shape we are would compel us to shut upshop. It looks as 't'l:o'ugh this was going to compel'us to do it A Chopin Recital. A Chopin piano recital was given last nightat Y. M. C. A. Hall by Hugo Mansfeld, under the auspices of the Hawthorne Society. The audi- ence numbered about 1000, and consisted of some of the best-known musical people of the city. The programme was opened by introdue- tory remarks b{i Albert Lyser, and a biographi- cal sketch of the famous composer was deliv- ered by Dr. W. E. Price. The renditions of some of the choicest groducflons of the com- poser by Mr. Mansfeld were received with merited applause by the audience. KNOWLEDGE Brings comfort and improvement and tends to J;enonal enjoyment when rightly used.
