The Oakiand nsolidated has been par- licularly unfortunate in killing people during the past two y. and nearly all their fatalities occur in West Oakland.

An ordinance iding for something is now on the ks, but it is not enforced and seems to be very little known about provisions. Councilmen Mott and Towle decided to have the City Attorney draft an ironclad ordinance that will leave nothing optional with the railroad companies.

KELEY, CAL., March 9.—The co-ed | bail players at the university are | | anxious! waiting a reply from the Stan- ford team regarding the chanees of the condition of the challenge of the latter to agame so that the clause governing the | place of playing will be changed from *“‘on Palo Alto compus” to “indoor and A letter in inal the not bejore a mixed audience.” answer to the chailenge of the car Learers was sent to ‘their manager by Manager Brownsill of the Berkeley team last Fri but no respanse to it has yet | been received. It has been intimated to the Berkeley manager, however, -that the stanford girls will not change the condi- tion of the challenge governing the place of meeting, but that they will stand pat for their cumsxui as the scene of battle. The Berkeley girls are determined in their purpose of not playing before the men, and from t.e present outlodk it | eems that the game wili not take place if the Palo Alto players do notacquiesce | to the wishes of the challenged parties re- parding the point at issue. 2 The Daily Berkeleyan, one of the Uni- versity of California publications, had the foliowing to say to-day with regard m‘v.he vosition in the matter ot “‘place of piay- ing” as assumed by the Berkeley co-eds: “The daily papers of late have had con- siderable to say regarding the coming |ing 1n an artistic manner. | oared gig has just had its bottom scraped, | started at 1 | Alameda County Happenings Told in | preliminary | for its death can be assigned, and it is thought | that it rolled over on it basket-ball contest between Calfornia and anford co-eds. “The writer notices with pleasure the good judgment and tact of the Berkeley captian in refusing to play before a mixed auaience.

BERKELEY, OCaz.,, March 9.—The question of whether the students will be cranted any more time by the faculty of the university for completing the work bezun on the grounds has given rise to onsiderable discussion. Some of the faculty state that the time Iready spent on the work has had a mate- tial effect in hindering the ‘progress of their courses of study, and consequently do not or granting more time. Others are willing to give a reasonable amount of time longer for the completion of the im- provements, since they have been begun. The students themselves are anxious to e the task as originally planned, ntallthe time that will be neces- y in order to do it well. It is thought y some that two and a half days more will be necessary to finish the balf-com- pleted pieces of excavating and road-mak- Accordingly the faculty will be asked for Thursday, Friday and Saturday morning of this . A conference between Regent stein and President Kellogg will take place to-morrow, at which it is expected that some satisfactory conclusion will be reached in the matter. Boating Booming. BERKELEY, CaLn.,, March 9.—Interest in boating has taken a sudden start, and if the weather continues pleasant there will daoubtless be more attention ‘given to this line of athletic sports during the present season than at any time heretofore. Two new pleasure-boats, costing $90 each, have just been completed and turned over to ihe officers of the association, and the four- c varnished and put into condition for train- ing use. The treasurer reports a surplus of §300 in the treasury, with good pros- pects for more. The several class crews are training regularly for the mter»clussl championships, which will take place as soon as the men are in fit condition. About twenty five men in all are doing regular work with the oars at the associa- tion boathouse in Sessions Basin, Oakland estuary. High School Visitations. BERKELEY, CAL., March 9.—Professor W. A. Merrill of the chair of Latin lan- guages and literature at the State Uni- versity has just returned from a tour of visitations to the high schools of the State. Professor Merrill visited twenty-seven high schools throughout California. The professor reports that there is a| general movement among the high schaols | toward a four years' course instead of the | present three-year system, and that as many of the schools are now making the change and will not graduate any classes this year, the coming freshman class at the university may be smaller than usual. Professor Merrill reports the existence | of enthusiastic support of the State Uni- | versity in the high schools of the State and says that he found it somewhat diffi- cult and embarrassing to account to inte- rior teachers interested for the defeat of the school bonds election in Berkeley. A House Burned. BERKELE March 9.—The resi- dence o £ sen, on Haste street, between Dana Telegraph avenue, burned to the ground to-night. The fire | 5 o’clock, and the cause of | it is unknown. Some furniture was saved, but the total loss will amount to $3000, half of which is covered by insurance. Mr. Jensen wasin San Francisco atthe time. The college boys turned out and prevented | the fire from spreading. The water supply | was wholly inadequate to be of any assist- ance in quelling the flames. DEATH 0 F MRS. RAMSELL.

Its Custom Was Drawn From the Bohemian Eiement of Two. Counties. OAKLAND OrricE SAN Francisco CALL,| 908 Broadway, March 9. § W. M. Watson, the wholesale liquor- dealer, had occasion a few days ago to at- tach the little hostelry on Lake Merritt known in the two counties as ‘rhe Cot- tage.”” For several years Monsieur Du- pont has conducted a thriving business at the Cottage, but financial depression over- took some of his best customers and Jacques was the sufferer. When the attache visited the house with a Deputy Sheriff to take possession he did not expect to find-a large amount of this world’s goods, but he thought thatas his bill was biggest he was entitied to all in sight. While making an inventory the creéditor discovered the ledger. A hasty glance proved what a prize it was, and from that moment he felt safe. M. Dupont’s debtors were affluent and nu- merous and would only require a hint to settle and place Jacqueson his financial feet. The ledger was taken away and then the circus commenced. No sooner was it known that the Cottage had been attached then creditors hastened to turn over their pocket-books looking for duplicates of i. 0. u’s. Then there was a scurrying toward the bank. Jacquescalmly shrugged the upper half of his being and tola them that the ledger was gone and he had no longer any control over his finan- cial affairs. . The ledger shows that the Cottage was a favorite place for the bohemians of San Francisco as well as Oakland and the en- tries in the book are varied, Torrid and frigid biras, mammoth and diminutive bottles, choice cigars and dainty ‘Turkish cigarettes, messenger-boys and telephone service are all included and hackmen were also in demand. Some of the little lunch partiesmust have begun one day and ended early the next, as the 1tems run from one day to another, while indicating that they were part of the same event. Many of the biils were paid by note of hand, but the giversevidently forgot them the next morning. Jacques' creditors, however, did not forget his obligationsand concluded that the people who had drunk his wine had a right to pay forit. After finding that Monsieur could not help them a visit was made to the receiver. He was more accommodating, and several bills were paid and t.e evidence that they ever existed was blotted out. Meanwhile Monsieur Dupont is compar- atively light-hearted. He sees a way out of the difficulty, and says he can pay all of his creditors when his debtors make it possible for him to balance that precious ledger, and many of them are risking their limbs in their haste to enable him to do it. HUNTING FOR GOLD. Three Parties of Oaklanders Now En Route to Alaska. OAKLAND, CiLn, March 9.—The gold fever appears to have struck Oakland with unusual severity this year.

Very soon after swallowing the beverags he was taken vio- lently ill, with ail the symptoms of roisoning. A physician was calied in and had hard work m fetching him around. What the poison was 1f there was any, or what motive anybody would have to give it to the young man, does not appear at all. It is so improbable that there are those who discredit the whole story, Church Anniversary.

SENATOR DENISON CONFIDENT _— The Race for St. Louis Honors Being Eagerly Fought in Alameda County. OARLAND OFFICE SAN FrAncisco CALw,) 908 Broadway, March 9. | The Alameda County representatives of the Third Congressional District commit- tee are about evenly divided as to whether to appoint delegates to the State Conven- tion to nominate delegates to St. Louis or to call primaries. The Alameda men have held an in- formal meeting and opinions were divided. Messrs. Long, Morrison and Ingler favor appointment and Messrs. Morrow, Taylor and Earl are 1n favor of primaries. A dis- cussion was held, but nothing definite was done and will not be until Senator Eart calls a formal meeting to consider the matter. The following petition is being circu- lated to-day and from the many names attached to it, itis certain that Dr. Pardee, who is the rival of Seaator Denison for the honor of going to St. Louis, is 1n favor of primaries: To the honorable the members of the Thire gressional District Committee—GENTLEMEN the undersigned members of the Republican party of Alameda County, interested in its success at the coming National election ani anxious to have harmony prevail, hereby earnestly petition that you call a primary for the selection of delegates to the State Conven- tion, which will soon assemble at Sacramento for the purpose ol selecting delegates to the National Convention to meet at St. Louis. ‘We believe that the question of the selection of delegates to the State Convention should be submitted to the Republicans of the county, and that their expression and preference given at the polls in a harmonious contest will strengthien the party in this county. We be- lieve it unwise for your commitiee to take upon themselves the responsibility of naming the delegates. Senator Denison said to-day that he does not care whether primaries or not are de- cided upon at the meeting called for next Saturday. He says he believes his posi- tion is secure and he expresses confidence that his friends will land him a winner for the Republican National Convention. Among those who have expressed them- selves in favor of primaries are: C. G. Dodge, E. A. Nordhausen, R. F. Crist, J. Greenhood, Albert Brown, L. H. Briggs, H. 0. Trowbridge, W. W. Witcher, C. L. Hewes, G. Metcalf, Victor Metealf, J. H. Smith, C. G. A. Koser, W. P.Thomas, E. P. Van- , Joseph Harrison, James A. Johnson, .. A. Leach, F. Jordan, John Yule, W. H. Garthwaite, J. John Mitchell, B.

Robinson, James Jeffress. County Clerk Jordan is working hard for the primaries, “There will be no ex- pense attached to it in the Seventh Ward,” “The feeling in avor of primaries is so general that polling- places can, I know, be secured free of charge, and clerks of election will also vol- enteer their services.” REV. SCOTT'S RECORD. The Latest Victim Heard From Is a Lady Living at Vallejo. OARLAND OFrIcE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, 908 Broadway, March 9. } Two letters were received in Oakiand to- day that show that Rev.

MacMurtirie, from Vallejo, stating that “*he swindled me,” and she wants to add her testimony to that of Mac- Murtrie when the case comes to trial. Although H. C. Scott still maintains that he enly borrowed MacMurtrie's outfit, Rev. O. Pierce of Pomona testifies aiffer- a letter received to-day he says that Scott sold him a valuable magic lan- tern outfit for $20. MacMurtrie says it was_worth 0, but as it did not fit Mr. Pierce’s lantern apparatus Scott let it go cheaper. : Among Scott's effects which were brought with him from Los Angeles by Detective Holland were a large number of posters announcing a lecture on Alaska, *Uncle Sam’s Ice Box,” by “H.
