Propose Taking “in All the Territory Between This City and Berkeley. The Outside Territory Has an Assessed Valuation of Six Millioas and a Haif. ~D OFrICE SAN FraNcisco CALL, 908 Broadway, Jan. 30. } Itis now but a question of time when all the territory lying between the north- ern béundary of Oakland and the southern, is known as the man who organized four of the most prosperous banks in Oakland. He was elected Mayor in 1884 by the Re- publicans ana in 1836 was elected City Clerk and Tax Collector. He has always lieen prominent in politics and is a man of considerable wealth. —_————— -FAVOR ANNEXATION. Meeting of Those ‘Who Are Working for a Greater Oakland. OAKLAND, Cax, Jan. 30.—There was an entbusiastic meeting last nightinJudge Clift’s courtroom of those who favor the annexation to Oakland of all the outlying districts north of the city. Charles Bon was elected chairman and J. Naismith secratary. The sentiment was unanimous in favor of annexation, and it was. stated that all the large property-owners favor it. The chairman stated tuat the assessed value of the_ property that is anxious for annexation is $6 500,000, and consists of Golden Gate, a large portion of Peralta, Piedmont and-Temescal, and has a large population. Messrs.. Edson. Adams, C. A. Scoville and Payne Shafter were appointed a com- mittee to confer with any who might ob- ject to annexation and to prove to them that such action would lead to a reduc- tion of the taxes of the whole of “Greater Oakland.” Next Wednesday evening there will be a meeting of those favorable to annexa- tion at the City Hall and the movement will be permanently organized. Demoerats Waiting, OAKLAND, CaL., Jan. 30.—The Demo- Map Showing the Proposed Annexation and Three of the Men Interested ‘n the Projeet. i houndary of Berkeley will be annexed to this city. Next Wednesday evening & meeting will be held in the City Hall for the purpose of forming a permanent organization to carry out the desired end. Many of the leading properiy-owners have decided that the outlying districts caunot be -developed until they become a part of the city of Oakland. Among those who are of this opinion are: George Mor- row of Temescal, Captain McMeromy of Golden Gate, Payne Shafier of Temescal, J. Rea of Linda Vista, Edson Adams, Mr. Montgomery and many others. “Ozkland at the present time suffers by comparison with Los Angeles,” said George Morrow to-day. *There issome civic pride in this matter of annexation. Los Angeles takes in cverything that1s possible and poses before the country asa city of 70,000 people. Oakiand is looked upon as being much smaller, and is talked about as being a city of 50,000 people. This state of affairs sbould not exist, and if we have our way will not exist much longer. The natural advantages of the two cities are not to be compared, and Oakiand cannot nelp but grow. The amount of taxable property that we wish to add to the city of Oakland is assessed for $6,500,000 at this time. After annexa- tion there will come an era of improve- ment, and the assessed value of the an- nexed property would at once increase, and we should be the means of decreasing general taxation, for we should not cost the city as much as we would pay in taxes* ‘A glance at the map of this section of the county shows that there is really no dividing line between Oakland and this large outlying district so far as street rail ways are concerned. There are three roads which go through this territory and all unite at Fourteenth and Broadway, rightin the heart of the city. These roads bring the furthermost points of the terri- tory which we want annexed nearer to "the beart of Oakland than the city limits were ten years ago. Every day there is an increased de- sire for annexation, and many people who a few months ago were violenily op- posed to it now faver the scheme. The more the facts are looked into' the more anxious are the property-owners 10 be- come a part of the city of Oakland.” Charies A. Bon, the San Francisco wine merchant who resides at North Temescal, is very ardent in bis efforts toward annex- ation. “This is & matter,”” he said, ‘‘in which the people of Oakland need to be enlight- ened and interested. It would be a bene- fit to the whole community to take in this territory, which is naturally a part of the city. It includes Temescal, Golden Gate, Peralta and Piedmont, and has a large popuflation, and there is no valid reason to be advanced aguinst the Greater Qak- 1and plan.” The boundaries of the territory which it is proposed toannex are as follows: On the west by the eastern line of the town of Emeryville, on the south by.the charter line of the city of Oukland, on the east by the continuation of the eastern line of the town of Ber'eley, running south to the city of Oskland,.on the north by the town of Berkeley. Edson Adams, C. A. Scoville and Payne Shafter have been apppinted a committee to confer with those property-owners who are still in doubt as to the advisability of annexatio New Departure at Asbury Church. OAKLAND, Cav, Jan. 30.—Something new occurs fo-morrow nigit at Asbury M. E. Church Bouth, corner of Clay and Fifteenth streets, this city.

Berkeley Football Men Failed | to Show Up at the Meeting. University Politics in the Szlection of a Leader of the Gridiron Athletes. BERKELEY, Cir., Jan. 30.—No elec- tion of a football captain took place to- day at the university owing to the ab- sence of several members of the team. The meeting was for the purpose of having the team photographed for the Blue and Gold and to choose a captain for the next season, and the fact that four of the varsity eleven, all | “frat” men, did notshow up, is thought to have some significance. Last yeara siiilar occurrence took place. The men who stayed away to-day are Ransome, Kennedy, Carr and McNutt. Carr is one of the candidates for the placo that was to have been filled, and those on the inside are disposed to think that there was some politics in the action of the men who did | not keep the appointment. | The-election was postponed to next Saturday.

Her Friends in the Baptist Church Say It Is All Due to Her Husband. OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FrANcisco CArL, 908 Broaaway, Jan. 30. } Mrs. Clara Elliot, a Berkeley school- teacher, has filed a complaint for criminal libel against Editor John Hanscom of the Berkeley Gazette. The charge is the out- come of a divorce case in which Mrs. El« liot figured &s plaintiff a few weeks ago. The article complained of appeared in the Gazette of the 9th of January and is of some length, and Mrs. Elliot takes the greatest exception to the- following para- graphs: As one side of a story is considered good un- ul the other is told, there isa litile more 0 relate in theexperience of Mrs. Elliot in mat- rimonial aaventures. If our information is correct there is & strong probability that she will soon enter again {uto the business of mar- ried lfe, although two chapters in_this book do not seem to have set her against it. Her firsi sdventure may not have been enougn 10 fill tne aching void. Of that the record as yet.does not show, but of the second it has assuredly not been an overwhelming success. Naturally there is canse for it. Our news-gatherer was informed that the youn lady, who is only of about 22 sumumers, an yet, as far as personal appearance may indi- cate, of sevefal more winters, bad transferred her affeetions to & young office-secker of West Berkeley. In fact, he further learned that the young lady had also to resist the attentions of a youug butcher residing a: the West Eud, who never could take an order in her back yard ip less than halfan hcur, and the bill was nWver sent in. Mrs. Efliog is a prominent member of the Baptist church, and in her complaint she says that she does not contemplate matrimony; that she can produce receipts from ber butcher, and declares that her actions were ever in accord with her re- ligious teachings. The divorce case of the Elliots at- tracted some attention on account of the part taken by a young girl named Rose who fell in loye with Mr. Elliot. and to whom he frequently wrote and gave pres- ents. Even after the girl was taken out to the Beulah Home Elliot followed her, and was frequently seen in the neighbor- nood until warned to ceased his attentions to her. Mrs. Elliot is regarded in Berkeley as a hiehly respectable woman, and_ber nu- merous friends resent the insinnations against her character. Weesterm Rou, Paper (o, NEW TO-DAY. $axn Prameisco, (aL.
