TRACK ATHLETICS 10 BE BOOMED, Captain Everett Brown of Berkeley Talks About Prospects. PLENTY OF MATERIAL. Four New Men From South- ern California Will Enter Next Month. WANT GROUNDS, ATHLETES It Will Then Be Possible to Hold All the Games Within an Enclosure. BERKELEY, CAL, July 2L.—“Track athletics will be on the boom next term,” said Captain Everett Brown of the Uni- versity of California track team to-day. “A large part of my vacation has been spent in looking for and picking out good men who intend to enter, and urging tbem to keep in condition, o as to be ready for the track as soon as they enter college. ‘We nave four young cracks who will be here in August, and, together with the men we have now, I believe that we can make a much more creditable showing in the spring meet with Stanford than in the last intercollegiate. “‘These four men to whom I refer are Broughton of Santa Barbara, a rattling good 220-yard man; McNab of Riverside, an all-round crack; Cutter of San Jacinto, a pole-vaulter with a record now of 10 feet 21nches, and Birch of Santa Barbara, a sprinter who can now shave :1024. “‘Of course we will be at somewhat of a disadvantage in the matter of training during the fall season on account of the absorbing interest taken in football, and because of the bad weather in winter, but nevertheless we will try to get our muscles into trim by spring. 1t will be our single aim to defeat Stanford in the next inter- collegiate and regain our long held pres- tige over them on the track. They are a wideawake lot of fellows down at Palo Alto, and will leave no stones in their path to defeat us, but we will try to be equal to the occasion. I csn safely say that als though we now have something like $800 in the treasurs for an Eastern trip we will not cross the Rockies until we have de- feated Stanford again and beaten them badly. “‘What we need most of all now is a new track, such as we proposed to the Board of Regents last fall. We must have our grounds within an enclosure, so as to charge.admission to the grounds and thus add importance to our meets, as well as increasing our treasury. “If our plans are carried out as we have suggested them, within this enclosure will be the running-track, with a straightaway baseball diamond, football field and tennis courts, with such grand stands and accom- modation houses as are necessary. We must have a new track. All intend work- ing for it.” Miss Felton Returns. BERKELEY, CAL., July 21.—Miss Kath. erine Felton, medalist in the class of '95 at the te Unmiversity, returned from the Ini icago yesterday, where s been taking post-graduate work in political economy for the past year. Miss elton will re-enter Berkeley next month and continue her post-graduate work in anticipation of the doctor’s degree. In speaking of the University of Chi- cago Miss Felton said: “It is certainly a very great institution. In the number of posl-Igraduaze students at present attend- ing I believe 1t stands second of all the universities in America. I doubt not that it will soon have the largest number of students taking higher courses, if its growth in the future continues in a corre- sponding ratio with the past.” A. O. ¥. Installation. BERKELEY, CaL., July 21.—Court Uni- versity No. 7! A.

Church. OAKLAND, CaL., July 21.—The first meeting of the American Volunteers was | held in Oakland to-night at the First M. E. Church. The attendance was good, | and all were pleased with the addresses delivered. Major Washington Black- | hurst, who represents Commander and Mrs. Ballington Booth, was the principal speaker. He said the volunteers were not a dvplicate of the old movement in many senses of the word. He declared that they would not antagonize the Salvation Army or any other religious organization, but march hand in hand to further the cause. 1t is his desire to form a local post assoon as advisable. *‘The Salvation Army has treated us in a nririt of antipathy,’” he said, “which we Volunteers do not feel towards them in the slightest degree. We have never spoken unkindly of the Salvationists and we are now merely defining and explain- ing our situation without saying anything against anyone. The Volunteers are in a flourishing condition and are increasing steadily. Thirty branch organizations have been formed 1n New York and vicin- ity, ten in Western New York and Penn- sylvania, and forty-two in Chicago and vi- cinity.” ——————— THE CITY'S INCOME.

Entire Proceeds Will Go to the Associated Charities Wood- Yard. OARLAND OFricE BAN Fraxcisco CaLy,) 908 Broadway, July 2L. | Horticultural Commissioner Pryal com- pleted his plan to-day for the miniature park in the exposition grounds. It will be the most artistic corner of the big in- closure afid the base of the fountain is al- ready well on toward completion. *“This corner of the affair is mine,” said Mr. Pryal this afternocn, “and if it's a success I want all the credit and if it’s a failure I want censuring. I have sown around here some plants that have been seen by but few people in Alameda County. The name of it is Emphorbia splendeus, but it is better known as the crucifixion plant. It is the little red flower that grows in the region of Mount Calvary and which, it is said, turned red as blood on the night of the crucifixion of Christ. “The space will be somewhat Jimited, but there will be quite a display. The lo- cal florists and some of the Japanese flower-growers will help and there will be a display better than anything yet at- tempted in Oakland.” A delegation from the executive com- mittee will visit Alameda Wednesday evening and will meet the citizens of that place to arrange for Alamedas day. Some special features will be prepared, and the Encinal City will do something note- worthy in the way of advertising itself. A special meeting was held last night to make the necessary arrangements for Thursday, August 6, on which day the to- tal proceeds, both afternoon and night, will go to the woodyard tund of the Asso- sociated Charities. The following committees were ap- Dr. 8. M. dJefferson, President of the Disciples’ Bible Seminary, Has Arrived in Berkeley. : NN BERKELEY, Caw, July 2L.—Dr. 8. M. Jefferson, the president of the new Bible Seminary to be established at Berkeiey by the Disciples or Christians of the State next month, who reached here last week, and an account of whose arrival has been pub- lished in THE CALL, is actively engaged in p‘r{ocfing the preliminary arrangements for the opening term. A conference will be beld in a few days at which the directors of the new seminary will get their plans into definite and tangible form. The estab- lishment of the seminary at Berkeley promises to add much to the educational stand- ing of the university town, . pointed to aitend to the details of charity day: Booth—Mrs. J. W. Shanklin, Mrs, D. 8. Hirsh- berg and Mrs. P. H. Templeton. Programme—Rev. E. S. Chapman, D, Edward | Collins and Mrs. Paul Lohse. Advertising—H. M. McKnight, Miss Mollie Conners, Mrs. illiam McDonald and Mrs. H. Rief. » The Associated Charities expect to make enough money on the day of the benefit to ran their woodyard through the whole | winter. The applications for space are still com- ing in from "all over the county, and Su- perintendent Craigie Sharp thinks that | additional space will have to be provided, although a I arge tent with a wooden floor containing 8000 square feet Las just been erected. The exposition will osen August 3, and an attempt is being made to have Gover- | nor Budd declare it open. SUSPECT FIREBUGS. | Haystack Fires Becoming Common at | Temescal. TEMESCAL, CaAL., July 21.—Two fires occurred here Saturday night that has strengthened the suspicion that incen- aiarism has been practiced. Both fires were haystacks. About 11 o'clock, as George McCiellan was driving along College avenue, he | passed a cart and horse standing along- | side of a field belonging to a Mr. Smith. Shortly after he was overtaken by a man | driving a Lorse and cart, which he recog- | nized as the one he bad passed. At the same time be saw Smith's haystack blaze up. The driver was stopped by McClellan and taken back to Smith's house. Mr. Smith identfied him_ as a Portuguese with whom he had had irouble. As Mr, Smith’s loss was quite large it was decided | to hold the Portuguese pending an investi- gation and he was sent to the jail. The second fire occurred immediately afterwards on the property of Mr. Me- Adam, near the schoolhouse. His entire stock of hay, valued at $250, wasdestroyed. It is thought that this fire was incendiary, :go.fnl:bongh there 18 no positive proof of e fact. RUSS ELECTED I 4 s School Directors Violate One of Their Own Rules, and Are Not Warned. Secratnry. McClymonds Broke His Record by Forgetting for the First Time in Office. OaxrAND Orrice, SAN Fraxcisco CaLy, 908 Broadway, July 21. The members of the Board of Edu- cation were considerably surprised this evening to find that they ‘still had a vacancy in the High School. Last evening, upon the selection of J. T. Draper of the High BSchool to fill the position of teacher of natural science in the Central Grammar School, the board went into executive session and wrangled for nearly an hourovera choice for teacher of drawing. Some of the members would not vote at all, while others tried to make them. Finally they tired of that task and sook up the matter of a teacher to fill Mr. Draper’s vacant chair. This was an easy matter, and Raymond Russ, O, H. 8., '92, and U. C., ’96, was readily elected. Russ is the son of ex-school director John Russ, and is well known. The election took vlace in open board, with no opposition, but in this the mem- bers of the board overlooked a sentence in section 65 of the rules and regulations they have provided for their own govern- ment. It reads: ‘“No teacher shall be elected to a position in the High Schoo! who has not had at least two vears’ exverience in school work.” If the rules are to govern their actlon another teacher will have to be elected, and in ordfr for him to be on hand at the opening of the school a meet- ing of the Board of Education will have to be called for that purpose this week. Director Reed, said in regard to the matter: *‘1f Mr. Russ is not eligible I am of the opinion that we will have tocall a meeting thi week and elect one who is.”” Director Ford was surprised and said: “If that rule was carried out in every dis- trict there would be no chance for the teachers to ever get any experience, How- ever, the point is well taken, I believe.’” The most surprising point in' the in- teresting incident is the fiwdt}on of Secre- tary lficClymonus. e i rightfully credited with knowing- more about the board and its prerogatives than the mem- bers, and surprise is general that his memory should lapse when the son of an ex-8chool Director is concerned. Mr. Russ only graduated in May last, and has had no exverience, The friends of Mr. Kuss suggest that the rule referred to is unconstitutional and not binding, as the law does not contemplate any such qualification as the rule imposes. Spirit Healer Discharged. OAKLAND, CAn, July 2L—Dr. W. B. Barker, who was some time ago on a complaint issued at the request of Mrs. B&l:md. was released to-day in the Police Court without even a hearing.

LIFE-BARS FOR ELECTRIC-CARS, Superintendent Grim Pats an Idea Into Prac- tical Use. WANTS MEN ARRESTED If They Persist in Violating the Ordinance Regulating Crossings. ANXIETY TO0 PROTECT LIFE. Highland Park Cars Are No Longer Rua With Only One Man. OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FraNcrsco Cu.r..% 908 Broadway, July 21. A new device for assisting people struck by electric-cars to aid in saving their own lives has been invented by Superintend- ent Grim of the Oskland Consolidated (Berkeley) line. The new arrangement consists of two plain, stout horizontal iron bars placed in the front of the car. One 1s about three feet and the other about five feet from the ground. The supposition is that when anyone is on the track and cannot get off Bzl s RO The Life-Bar Device That Has Been Placed on the Grove-Street Cars. in time to prevent being struck they would naturally grab one of the bars and avoid getting beneath the wheels. Mr. Grim says that he has found as the result of inquiry that people struck by cars invariably try to grasp something, and if stout bars are within reach at con- venient height they will probably avert fatalities. The new method will undoubtedly Erovs very timely to the small boys of Oakland who have practiced train-jumping for many years, but as the majority of violent deaths are those of children or of people in vehicles, which collide with the cars, the bars would not in such cases prove very valuable. The superintendent of the Grove-street road wrote to the Chief of Police to-day, telling him he had seen the article in THE CALL referring to the numerous violations of the crossing ordinance, The writer stated that he had given veby positive in- structions to all his men to obey the ordi- nance implicitiy, and asking that all mo- tormen and conductors breaking the law be at once arrested. It was through a doubly fatal accident on this line that the law was passed, and Superintendent Grim is doing all in his power to prevent its re- currence. A police officer stated to-day that he had frequently warned carmen at the danger- ous crossing at Thirteenth street and Broadway and that the infractions were less numerous than formerly. A few weeks ago complaint was made through THE CALL of the manner in which the large double-deck cars of the Highland Park were run with only one man, who left the carto fly down a grade while he went on the npper deck to collect nickels, Since the publication Superintendent Woodward has made arrangements by which each car is attended by two men. There was an ordinance before the Council providing that no electric cars should run Wwith one man, but for some unknown rea- son it did not become a law. HISTORY OF A DAY.

OAKLAND, CAL., July 21.—The Sheriff is taking necessary precautions to prevent any more of his boarders from taking French leave. All of the windows open- ing into cells from the outside are being covered with a sheet of iron perforated with holes about an inch square. They are so fixed that they cannot be reached from the inside unless the iron grates are removed. If that is done and the fastenings cut away the plates woula fall to the ground, making enough racket to give an alarm. THECITY CLERK'S REPORT An Elaborate Statement of the | Disbursements for the Past Year. Alameda Parlor’s Installation—The Board of Education Meeting. | Accidents. ALAMEDA, CaL, July 21.—The City Clerk bhas just completed his first annual report, In it he suggests that the system of accounts as kept at present should be so modified as to allow the keeping of the accounts of each department under separ- ate heads. He thinks the advantages of the city as a place for building homes and establishing industries should be adver- tised by means of pamphlets. From thestatement of accounts it ap- pears that the total disbursements of the city for the last year of thirteen months amounted to $308,094 01; the actual running nses $161.564 51, and the bonded | indebtedness $239,175. The assessed value of city property is$515,201.

W., by District Grand President Hynes of Redwood Parlor, in Armory Halllast night, evoked high praise from the great number of friends who at- tended. The ceremony was conducted faultlessly and the entertainment that fol- lowed was one to suit_the taste of every- body. Attorney J. E. Barber delivered the oration and acquitted himself of the task in admirable fashion. Max Glas of the State Blind Asylum, Témescal, brougnt with him three inmates of the asylum, | who provided such music us astounded the | listeners and dancers. One of them, Gus- sie Mast, received a merited ovation for her song, to which she played her own ac- companiment. The Native Sons from Oakland belonging to the Acme Tlub were present, and !fisit boxing, wrestling and ncroblfic feats were just the thing. The officers instailed were: Past presi- dent, John Flynn: president, Charles Day; first vice, J. F. Hanson; second vice, Max Glas: third vice, J. N. Bolt; marshal, R. H. Fallmer; treasurer, 8. A. Bremer; financial secretary, Max Gundlach; re- cording secretary, T. R. Hanson; insde sentinel. N. E. Probst; outside sentinel, P, Smith: trustee, Jj. E.

Their adoption necessitated an election of offi- cers, which resulted in Judge Ellsworth being chosen president; Sanford Bennett, yice-president; I. S. Borden, treasurer; C. C. Gardner, secretary; A. L. Cohen and Dr. Bull, members of the executive com- mittee, The track is to be utilized for training horses as well as for driving. Those wish- ipg to train on it must make apphcation to the executive committee and then pay $2 per month for a single horse and $1 extra for each additional horse up to three. True's Strength Waning. ALAMEDA, Car., July 21.—C. F. True, the deposed yflnclpu of the Wilson School, has apparently given up his attempt to have the Board of Education reinstate him, The mass-meeting of his friends, which was to have been held last evening, did not come off, and at the.meeting of the Board of Education to-night, the True forces were notable by their absence, so the agi- tation in his interests has probably died a natural death. 5 A Train Kills a Horse. ALAMEDA, CAr., July 21.—On the same crossing that the Fruitvale Jersey Dairy wagon was shattered yesterday morning by a freight train, a horse got fixed in the cattle guard this morning. When the Haywards locomotive came along the en- gineer was unable to stop his train in time and the horse was cut to pieces. The first car was derailed. An Accident in Camp. ALAMEDA, Car., July 21.—News has been brought in that a young San Francis- can named McPhee. who is camping with some others on the Redwood road near Graham & Arnold’s dairy ranch, had met with a serious accident. From accounts to hand it appears he met with his accident just as he was set- ting out for a ride on horseback. He had but vaulted into the saddle when the horse plunged and reared violently.
