OAKLAND, Can, Aug. 5—The third day of the County School Superintendents’ State Convention was marked by the pres- ence of ex-State Buperintendent Ira G. ber.

He has prom- | 1sed that he will hand to the County Com- mittee a certified copy of the new great register for each of the 121 precincts of | this county thirty-six hours after registra- | tion closes. When the County Committee passed the call for the primary it considered that the old great register should be used if the new one were not ready. The man- agers of Mr. Hilborn would not under any circumstances consent that a primary be | held with whe old great register, as the County Clerk claims that out of the 21,000 | names at least 10,000 are ineligible on ac- count of deaths, stuffing and remoyals. Mr. Hilborn’s friends will furnish the help for the mammoth task and bave guaranteed the cost, as the County Com- mittee did not feel disposed to shoulder the burden. ——.——— Pearson’s Position.

They Will Come From the West Oak- land Home to Take Part in the Programme, OAKLAND OrFrice Sax Fraxcisco CALL,} 908 broadway, Aug. 5. To-morrow is Charity day at the expo- sition. If ever there was a popular idea the di- rectors have found it in granting to the Associated Charities of Oakland the net receipts of the exposition next Thursday for the benefit of the unemployed during the coming winter. Indeed the success of the plan is already so well assured that the talk is broadening into an effort for spring as well. It is probable that much vacant land in Alameda County will be offered rent free and seed furnished the coming season to such as need and desire such an oppor- tunity. i The programme committee is working quietly, but by the name of the committee all are assured of first-class entertainment, beth during afterncon ana evening. One hundred children from the West Oakland Home will sing patheticsongsin the after- noon. The committee consists of Dr. 8. Chapman, D. Edward Collins and Mrs. Paul Lohse. The ledies’ booth has charmed all be- holders by its unique and artistic arrange- ment under the skillful management of Mesdames J. W. Shanklin, D. 8. Hirsh- berg and P. H. Templeton and their as- sistants. The burlap ground, rope trim- ming, with smilax and palms, show ex- quisite taste. The art gallery and litera- tare are also attractive. This committee will be assisted in receiving Thursday by lady directors—Mesdames C. H. Redding- ton and E. C. Borland. Different socie- ties will entertain from day today by turns. Monday the 1adies of the First M. E. Church, Tuesday the ladies of the First Unitarian Churech, etc. The press committee have done admira- bly in their efforts to arouse an_ enthusi- asm. They are already sanguine. The committee consists of H. M. McKnight, Mrs. William McDonald, Mrs. H. Rief and Miss Mollie Conners. One of the most attractive corners in the new building is THE CALL booth. A register is keot there, and the news of the world is given free to all who ask.

Coroner Currey of Martinez Is Minus a Horse and Buggy s Con- sequence. OAKLAND, Car., Aug. 5.— Coroner Currey of Contra Costa County was in this city to-day making inquiries regarding a horse and buggy that he hired to a stranger July 28, and of which he bas not heard anything since. The fellow gave the name of J. L. Crowell, and said he was apn agent of the California Mutual | Benefit Society. The man was given a bay horse with a short tail ana one white foot, and a Stude- baker light-top side-bar buggy, paintea black with red stripes. He said he was Roing to make a trip into the country and might be gone several days. A well-known woman of Martinez is said to have gone with him. The last heard of the fellow was at Wal- nut Creek, where he cashed a check for $15 on the Woolworth-Crocker Bank, which afterwards turned out to be worth- less, and he is now wanted there for ob- taining money under false pretenses. Sheriff Vale of Contra Costra has offered a reward for his arrest and the recovery of the rig. Crowell is about 43, weighs 160, has a dark mustache and wore a dark suit of clothes, light overcoat and soft black hat. —_—————— INCREASED ATTENDANCE. Much Interest Manifested at the Chris- tian Alliance Convention. OAKLAND, Car., Aug. 5.—There was a very large attendance at the Christian Al- liance Convention this evening at the First Baptist Church. the congregation of the church and that of the First Christian Church having united their midweek prayer-me-ting with the visitors. Thead- dress was by Rev. C. H. Waddell, his sub- ject being “Divine Healing vs. Christian Science.” He upheld the former as an ordinance commanded by Christ when he told the disciples to anoint with oil any that were sick and to lav on hands. It was only a full and complete acceptance of Christ's promises. Christian science he had little use for, as it did not recognize God, or alle- giance to him in ary way. “ollowing the sermon there was an anointing service and a number went forward to receive the Vogel | i 1 i i i FARMERS" HOPES ARE REALIZED, Their Experiment With a General Creamery Is a Success. Need of Many More Dairies to Supply the Demand for Milk. RESULTS OF FOUR MONTHS. The Experiment Will Doubtless Be Extended to Many Other Dis. tricts in the County. OARLAND OrrICE S8AN FRANCISCO CALL, 908 Broadway, Aug. 5. } The farmers of Livermore Valley be- lieve they have solved the problem of how to help themselves in regard to the man- ufacture of butter. On March 16 of this year they met and incorporated for the purpose of conducting a general creamery. Nearly five months have passed and tne returns show that the hopes of the dairy- men have been realized. The first four months’ output shows an aggregate of 21,100 pounds of butter. The figures are interesting. When the cream- ery started the butter market stood at 17 cents a pound. Later 1n the spring it fell as low as 13)¢ cents, and has now risen to 1914 cents and still going up. At the aver- age price of 16 cents the Livermore Cream- ery has in the first four months’ run re- turned to its dairymen $3500 in coin, be- sides the return of 525,000 pounds of skim milk with which to fatten hogs, chickens and calves, which was worth about $300. July is well passed, the fresh cows are coming in, the quantity of milk is in- creasing, the per cent of butter fat has raised and is stiil raising.

Belief That Bobert McDonald Has an Interesting Story to Tell in Court. OAKLAND, CAL., Aug. 5.—The trial of Robert McDonald, charged with attempt- ing to bribe Jason Peck in the irial of a Chinese lottery dealer in the Police Court, is under way in the Superior Court before Judge Greene. Deputy District Attorney The H. A. Melvin renrenw the people and T. F, Garrity and Warren Heaton the de- fendant. * The name of Harry Inwall, who is serv- ing a five days’ term in jail and who is under sentence to pay in addition a fine of $100 for contempt of court in approach- ing E. M. Lipka regarding the Gordan gold-brick swindle, is mentioned in the examination of all jurors in the case. ‘When arrested McDonald in an inter- view claimed that Inwall had something to do with his troubles, and there is some likelihood that at the right time in the trial he may tell & story that will impli- cate a number of people who hang about the courts of this city and county. It is believed he could tell much if he chose, and 1t is expected that he will tell rather than to suffer alone. ————————— Through the efforts of A. P.Swain and Ca; tai Dood of the Alameda Cyelers, & road yase | for a new record has been arranged to take place on August30. It will be a fifteen-mile event over a new course to be laid out between bere and Haywards. at the Exposition, Where All the News stimulated to do so by the advanecing price of butter. " The success of the craamery is now no longer a matter of doubt. When it concludes its first vear’srunit will show an unbroken run of 365 days and a total distribution of proceeds to stockholders and milkmen that will not fall short of $15,000. Of the July output every pound of it was taken by home merchants. The utmost satisfaction has been given, and if the facilities could be obtained it could dis- pose of four times the amouant. To help the farmers of the Altamont region enjoy the benefits of the creamery, a skimming station is to be estabiished near that place. The farmers will bring their milk every morning, and the butter fat will be extracted by the separator and sent to the creamery. There are cows enough in the hills around Altamont to furnish 2500 pounds of milk a day, which would bring about $600 to the farmers every month. It is probable that other districts may be taken in shortly. WORKING FOR A PARK, West Oakland Citizens Want a Special Tax Levy for an Improvement.

Though Kenney’s nomina- tion by the majority of the fire companies in Berkeley has not been confirmed by the Board of Town Trustees yet, that he will be so appointed 1s generally acknowledged. In fact five of the seven fire companies in Berkeley which bave announced them- selves in favor of Kenney seem determined to put their man into the position, the possible action of the jboard to the con- trary notwithstanding. Various vrotests against the appraise- ment of Kenney have been filed, but they have been apparently ineffectual.

OAKLAND, CL., Aug. 5.—Mrs. Minnie Lee, wife of Timothy Lee, ex-Chief of Police of Sacramento, died at Taylor's Sanitarium to-night.
