BERKELEY, Car, Feb. 1lL.—Another disaster vy fire at the State University | similar in cause and effect but involving greater risk 1o life and property than the | one of two days ago was barely prevented this afternoon. Homer Parker, a student | in the department of mechanical engin- eering, in turning on the heavy circuit of electricity placed the plug in the wrong terminal on the switchboard. This error, which was caused on account of the dark- ness in the room, produced directly the opposite effect on the rheostat from that | des.red, with the resuit that 1000 volts of | the eiectric fluid was diverted on to the | wrong wire. This caused the sparks to fly in every direction from the resistance-box, and Before water could be turned on from the hydrant in the interior of the building the | closure was ablaze, completely destroying the resistance-box, the swilcuboard itself and a number of small conducting wires. Had the aiternator been in use when the stieam of water was turned on the burn- ing re-istance-box the student holding the hose would have been electroculed, as the current would have reached him through the water and up the hose with almost the same force as if he held in his hand a live wire transmitting a thousand voltage current. The damage to the apparatus and build- ing is 1n the neighborhooa of $100. Going to the Debate. BERKELEY, CaL., Feb. 11.—A party of seventy-five students will leave to-mor- row afternoon for Palo Alio to attend the Carnor debate whica will be heid at Stan- ford University to-morrow evening.

OAKLAND, Can,, Feb. 1L—To-morrow evening the great street parade of young Christians, which originated with and bas been engineered by Evangelist Munhall, will take place. All the young people’s societies of the various churches will unite in & unique religious demonstra- tion. This is the first attempt to have a Chris- tian Endeavor parade in California, and Dr. Munball, who is always on the look- out for original methuds which can be made to serve a good purpose, has ar- raneed for this parade to be one of the features of the present revival. Members will gather at the First Meth- odist Church and will march down Four- teenth street to Washington, down Wash- ington to Seventh and along to Broadway, where they will march to Fourteenth street again and along to the Presbyterian Cburch. The procession will start promptly at 7 o'clock, so as to be at the church in time for the meeting at 7:30. The St. John's Church Boys™ Brigade Drum Corps will head the line, and will be followed by the pastors of the various churches. Then will come the different societies, eac . marching by itseif, under its own banner.

For four years I served at a salary of $10 per month. Then Iworked for nothing, never drawing my salary. Now there is six years’ pay due me, and unless the town board rays me or makes some explanation I shall put my claim in the hands of an atiorney. “Simply because I have not been mak- ing demands for my salary is no reason why it snouid be decided that I have not been servine. I have acted as chief and bave turned out to every fire, and do not propose to stand the treatment I have re- ceived.” McClain was appointed under the old ordinance organizing a fire department. The present Board of Trustees have passed a new law creating a department. The records of the town do not show that Me- Cluin’s resignation was ever offered, or that be has ever been formally removed from office. In the scramble of candidetes for the office the iact has been entirely over- looked that McClain was still chief of tue department. The passage of a now law re- | creating the Fire Department of Berkeley repeals the old ordinance and thus invali- dates the old appointment of McC ain.

Hayes Valley Improvers Contemplate a Brulevard to the Park. The members of the Hayes Valley Im- provement Club have taken hold of a scheme to open Grove street through Alamo square. At the meeting held in Mowry’s Hall Wednesday this scheme, which has been contemplated for years, assumed some- thing like a definite form. Casper Zwlerlein, on being called upon for an opinion as to the probable cost of grading Grove street from Steiner to Scott, a distance of two biocks, stated that pur- suant to the resolution passed by the Su- pervisors in 1590, at which the opening of the street had been aut orized, it was stipuiated that the grade should conform to that of the park, since which time the park had been cut down to grade; conse- quently the expense would not be large and could be easily met by the property- owners on the street. A committee was appointed to obtain the co-operation of the persons owning property on that street. It is composea of W H. Middlehorffe, Armour McLaugh- lin, A, Parker, J. Peters, C. Zwierlein and William Currier. They wiil prepare s prospectus and have it delivered to each property-owner from Larkin to Baker streets, and at the same time will invite them to attend the next meeiing of the club, when final action will be taken upon this undertaking. A. A. Reiter spoke npon the necessity of baving Grove street declared a boulevard, over which prrsons can go direct to Golden Gate Park without the necessity of having to cross any of the streets over which streetcars now travel. These ideas meet with the unanimous approval of the members of the club. the recent criticisms | WANT A STATUE FOR ALVARADO San Pablo Wants Honor for the Ex-Governor From the Native Sons. Contra Costa County Evidently Thinks the Legisiature Should Make an Appropriation. Made History on This Soil Before Catifornia Was Accepted as a State. OARLAND OrFIcE SAN FraNcisco CALL} 908 Broadway, Feb. 11 ‘The residents of S8an Pablo are desirous of seeing a monument erected in some suitable portion of this State to perpetuate the memory of ex-Governor Juan Ban- tista Alvarado, student, soldier and Governor, who died fourteen years ago at his home in the city that is now anxious to honor him. The idea was suggested by the effort now being made to btain an appropria- tion for the erection of a statue to Colonel Baker in Golden Gate Park. The resi- dents of San Pablo say that they do not object to the raising of a monument to Colonel Baker, Robert Burns or any other worthy or illustrious dead, but they do be- lieve that those who have had the good fortune to have been born here should show their appreciation of the men who helped to develop this State, and who figured prominently in its early history, before they take steps to honor men of other nations, whose connection with California is but peneral. A. Dalton Jr., the editor of the Contra | Costa News, is advocating the Alvarado memorial. *California 1s but a young State,” said he, *“and its history dates back but a short period prior to its admis- sion in 1850. For thirty years before that date there was no man in Califarnia better known or more respected and honored than Juan B. Alvarado. His memory | should be honored by the erection of a statue in Golden Gate Park, or some other place; and I desire to call the attention of all nauve sons to this matter, and trust that toey will seriously consider itand take immediate steps to have erected a suitable monument to a native Californian who figured so prominently. There are many native sons in the Siate Legislature who should endeavor to obtain an appro- printion for such a purpose, “When ex-Governor Alvarado died the Society of California Pioneers passed some resolutions which should fiad an abiding place at the base of such a monu- ment. He was born in California long be- fore the American occupation was thought of. Afier the treaty of 1848 he cheerfully accepted the new order of things and be- ¢ame and ever remained a faithful Ameri- can citizen. The ground on w.ich the church and schoolhouse stand in San Pablo was a gift from the deceased to the parish, and his remains now repose in Mountain View Cemetery. The story of his life is that of a brave man under whose rule this territory flourished, end native sons should delight in honoring him.” MAY MODIFY THE RULE Regulation Concerning Y easles the Sub- Ject of Sume Inquiry and Discussion. The Board of Health may modify its regulation concerning the exclusion of children from school for a period of thirty days upon the showing that measles or other contagious disease has existed in the family. The present rule is that no child residing in the family or in the same house where a coniagious disease bas been shall be permitted to attend school ‘‘until the Health Officer certifies that a period of thirty days’ probation has ended.” The modification may bs in favor of measles, which disease has afflicted several hundreds of children in the past six weeks. In a large family one child could hardly recover before another came down. The child who has recovered firs. is shut out for thirty dayson hisor her own account, and may possibly be shut out another thirty days on account of otner members of the same family. The matter has caused much inquiry by parents. ——————— TMPROVING ALAMO SQUARE. Plan Suggested by Mr. McLaren Which Will Make the Ground Ornamental, John McLaren has filed with the Board of Sapervisors his plan for the improve- ment of Alamo Square. He reports that he has provided two good places where visitors may be protected from the wind. DA A W OAKLAND, CAL, Feb. 11.—The immense foundations for the elaborate Old Ladies’ Home, planned by Sister Supsrior Russell of San Francisco, have been com- Sl st pleted over a year at Fruitvale, and now that the period of depression which has settled over the country for the past two years is passing off it is hoped that tke vecessary funds can be raised to complete the bullding. When it was startea there was a prospect that by the time the foundations were completed enough money would be in hand to go ahead with the work, but the great desire of Sister Superior Russell received & check from untoward circumstances, and work was discon. tinued, as it was not considered advisable to ineur financial responsibility. One of those most interested in the home said yesterday that the elaborate foundation prescnis a standing appeal to those who are wasting money lavishly on all manner of social fuactions to place a little of their wealth where it would benefit their fellow-beings, He proposes to take advanta e of & bank near the east end of the square to plant | along its entire lengtha cypress hedge, | and behind the hedye he will groun pines, | eucalyptu. ana cypress trees. In front of this willbe an area of gravel, which wiil, | in time, form a nicely protected play | ground for childrer. By a small amount oi cut and by planting the hedge and trees, a very good shelter will be formed. Mr. McLaren suggests a system of drain- age, which provides forsioping the ground from every point upward toward the cen- ter of the rquare, with steps at the en- trances where the slopes are too steep to admit of a zood walk. He also proposes a | plan for watering the square, and says that the square can be made quite an or- nament to t e surrounding neighborhood at a comparatively low cost. | ————— LOUIS JAMES TO® AID, | Elaborate Preparatious for the Girls’ | High School Concert.

GATLE MOUNTAIY GRADE An 01d Controversy Urged With Considerable Warmth Yesterday. One of the Many Sutjects That Gav | the Street Committes a Full | Day of Work. The Street Committee of the Board of Supervisors had a large, not to say enthu- siastic crowd of petitioners to listen to yesterday afternoon. Eloquence ran riot and many thoughts and facts concerning | Liberty Hill grade were presented for the consideration of the Supervisors. The property-owners and residents were pres- | ent by scores. Attorneys argued and | property-owners explained. The story of L berty Hill has been told sc often and so acrimoniously that the lo- cality has sometimes been called “Battle Hill.” New facts were presented yester- day. The room grew warm with the heat of those who argued for and against the | grade which has been proposed. Therep- | resentatives of the Association of Im- provement Clubs were present. Mr. Mul- lany made earnest and humorous re- marks. Mr. Sherer was earnest. Several ladies spoke. Rk Finally, after the committee had lis- | tened three hours, the matter was taken | under consideration, the committee prom- | 1sing to visit the locality—Sanchez street. Tue improvement clubs have asked that the street be opened through. A great deal of routine business was | transacted by the committee yesterday. | Tue following work recommended by the | Stireet Superintendent was approved by | the committee: | Cards alley, from Stockton westerly, to be | paved with bitumen; Eureka, between Twen. f tieth and Twenty-first, paved with basalt; | crossiug of Filbert and Leavenworth, paved | with bitumen ; also of Dolores and Nineteenth; also o Bryant and E.eventh; Florida, be- tween Twentieth aud Army,’ gradea and mucadamized; Precita avenue, between Ala- bema and Army, graded and mucadamiz.d; & pipe sewer in Precita avenue, between Ala- bama and Army; pipe sewer iu Florida, be- tween Twenty-sixth and Army; brick sewer in Mason, beiween Beacn and Jefferson; stone sidewalks on the crossing of Chestnut and Powell; also on Leavenworth and Union; on Jones and Union; on Tweuty-second, between Noe and Casiro, and on the corner of Mont- gomery avenue and Newell.

In his opin- | ion no sewers should be built in that sec- | tion untila survey of the whole section | has first been made. Then, as another | preliminary, the question concerning the | disposal of the sewage should Le decided. The Street Superintendent was author- | ized (0 sign a contract with Warren & Malley for the macadamizing of the cross- | ing of Webster and Francisco for 8 cents a | square 1oot. It was decided to recommend that the Market-street Railway Company be per- mitted to construct a turnout at Kearny and Montgomery avenue. The Street Superintendent was directed to start the work of gradinz Lobos street, between Plymouth and Capitol. | J. G. Harney was granted permission to | pave Guerrero, between Twenty-second | and Twenty-third, with bitumen, by pri- vate contract, and the City Street Im-| provement Company was granted permis- sion to pave Lombard, between Van Ness | and Lyon, with bitumen, by private con- | tract. The petition of the Precita Valley Im- | provement Club, requesting that the | franchise cf the North Beach and Mission | Railroad Company be aeclared null, on account of the failure of the company to | comylete the construction of the road, was reierred to the City Attorney for his opinion as to the power of the board. The proposed grading of Broderick, be- tween Green and Union, was postponed for three months. The appeal of the Pa- | cific Paving Company from the assess- | ment for the paving of Ash avenue, be- | tween Laguna and Buchanan, was set for | hearing on March 15.
