I3 THE WHOLE GITY TALKS OF PARKS Improvement Associations Are Started by Men and Women, From Lake Merritt to the Indian Gulch Is Favored by Many. All Agree That Access Should Be Had to Lake Merritt's Shores, OAgLAND OFFICE SAN Fr 908 Broadway, Oct. 23. § Oakland is just at preeat tiated with parks—not topographically 1t is true, but mentally. Never has there been a time when the prospects for actually doing | something looked so bright. Live com- | mittees are at work, on which are repre- | sentalive men and women and it reaily | seem- as if somethingswere about to be | accomplished. | Already people with an interest in some | special tract are inclinet to throw cold water on thescheme if their wishes be not | regardea, but such efforts are not meeting | with much encouragement. | | | The O:kland Imvrovement Club, com- posed of many prominent laaies under | the presidency oi Dr. Myra Knox, be- lieves that the Sather tract is an ideal lo- cation for a park, and that it should be connected by a broad avenue with the | boulevard around Lake Merritt, On Tuesday eveuing the club will meet ugain and will prepare a formal recom- mendation to the City Council. The Citizens’ Municipal Improvement Association has arcived at the conclusion | that the city should obtain some portion | of land in the ioothills for a public park. | Many individuals faver the Rockridge tract, which is as near Berkeley as Oake- land, and there are also ott.er tracts. W. R. Davisbas studied the matter, and believes that the city shouid purchase a vortion of Adams Point, so us to have access to Lake Merritt; a boulevard from there would be a gateway to the Sather tract in Indian Gulen. In the event of the purchase by t e city of the Sather tract, tire Reaily Syndicate would donate to the city land enough on eitber side of the creek for a highway. The matter is receiving an extraor- dinary amount of attentiin, and this evening a sarcostc correspondent pub- lished ths following answer to al! objec- iions hitherto raised: In considering a site for a park I beg to sub- mit the rroposition that 1000 acres b pur- chased up . tae summit of Mouut Dinb. o, and | offer the juliowing arguments in its_favor, | which cannot fall to rppeal to the judgment of many and e-pecially to the majority of the | Municipsl Improvement Association: In .he first piace, the sit: proposed is one in sight of any of the resldents of Oak- lnnd. ‘Secondly, it would be difficu:t| of access and if coud walk | io i, Tuirdly, the. properiy of no ove | wou.d be be anu thus whe Ad:ms ud oiner interes.s which might be favor- 85y ¢ cted by improving the shores o Luke | Merriti would be avoided. Fourthly, the ob- jocts and desires of the West Oukland Improve- ment Association to beautify and make at- tractive the entrance to the city could be de- feated. Fiithly, the cost would be reduced io less than $100 per acre. The natura. beauties of Mount Diablo, its unsurpassed views atd its commanding situa. tion woui€ serve 1o advertise the progressive and practical spirit of the citizens of Ouktand, | and wherever 1t was known would commend the atieution of ull visitors to the State, MASTERS AND WORKMEN Professor Bernard Moses Lec- tures on ' Conflict and Socialism.” Why the Greatest Discontent Pre- vails in the Most Favored Nations. Professor Bernard Moses of tha State University delivered an interesting lecture last evening before a large gather- ing in the Mechanics’ Institute bailding on Post street. He chos: for his subject “Coufl.ct and Soc.alism,” and as a resuit many of the members of the local socialist | organizations were in attendance. In his remarks the professor spoke of the stri e and dizcontent of the masses in otber paris of ths world and in the United Staies and its results in strifes and contlicts. This discontent, he said, is not the ev dence of want and privations. Here tne laborers are better paia and betier fed than anywhere eise in the world. The reason is becaus: the gen- eral run of laborers have become so far emancipated that they bave obtained a glimpse of something better bevond— something to strive for and to struggle to reach. 1n those places where thelaboring mun is in a condition of practica: slavery ther no troubie whatever, and the rea- | son is that he has not yet learned 10 look for anything vetter than his supper and a place to s.eep when his hours of work are over. ‘Tuus, as stated, this discontent is found in the most favored nations. The professor went back alung the line | of history and showed the relations that | once existed between the master and the slave. Now, however. a new condi- tion o: affairs exsts. In the progress of modern times industrial and commerc al urganization has become a necessity, and this causes a strange situation to the laborer, who in the past looked to his mas.er for protection and support. Now the man has no masier 10 look to and this bhas given rise 10 combinations among the laborers, for they bave come to the just conciusion that they must look after tueir own proteciion. Tne orgamization of to- day contempiaies a great eonfiict to de- | termine what shall be ine proper disiribu- tion of the iroducts of labor and eapital. Whatever the resul. of this conflict may be, the lecturer said, no great vietory is Iikely to be accemupiished by bloodsbed. Often when pro:ress becomes most rapid the laboring man becomes the most im- pa.ient. The wprofessor 1n this way su:- ge-ted the impatien ¢ of the modern sucialist for better things, and he spoke of tue places where the class has made some progress in the O d Worid. Profes- sor Moses said that social equality un- der socialism is likely to prove a delusion. He countended thai under socisfism all, as now, would desire to be office-hoiders and have special distinetions. However, the ideal socialistic condition is not so very different from those of corporations or even private enterprises. The leciure was well received, and the proiessor wi.l repeatitin Berkeley. .

Santa Cruz Shuts Out the Will & Fincks in a Rank, Yellow Game. ‘What about that hoodoo? Well, it's tnere. The men from the re. sort by the sea attempted to drive it out of Central Park yesterday afternoon, but their efforts were as futile as a boy's am- bition in a pin factory to become a mil- lionaire. That hoodoo can’t be downed, for the public will not be deceived 1n pa ronizing contests on the diamond where dead ball is i, when for the same mouey they can witness the national game played with a national league ball and by | live aggressive players. About 200 peop e <uw the game yester- day and that was 200 tco many. And what a listless, disjrinted, error- bunching, siupidly played game it was. Sania Cruz bad it all its own way. The nfield of tke Will & Fincks couldn’t st p anything. It weat to pieces in the second inning and remained in pieces to the con- clusion of the game. Santa Cruz jumped on to Fitzpatrick and hamme: el out seven base hits, three of which were made in the second inning. O the ten runs made by the visitors not one was earned. Fitzpat- rick’s support was of the yellowest order. Of the visitors I eaux at third and Burze n the left garden vlayed gili-edge ball. Burge made two Rreat catches, onein the fiith and one in the sixth. Devereaux made some great throws to first and Fitzgerald hung on to everythine that came his way. Streibin the first balt of the thiri hammered out a grea: hit to deep center and when he stopped running it was at the third cushion. Tue bail game to-day will be between Stockton and Reliance at Recreation Park. Harper and Van Haltren wiil be the oppo-ing pitchers.

Property - Owners Agree to Allow the Work to Be Done in Good Shape. OAKRLAND OFFIcE SAN Francisco CALL, 908 Broadway, Oct. 2 It now seems probable that Clay street will be improved. While this fact seems small in itself the overcoming of the pro- test of many year’s standing marks a new era in street improvementsin this city and will probabiy lead to a great deal of street work in the next year. . For a long t me nothing was done to in- duce property-owners to withdraw their protests to street improvements, The re- solution of intention was filed and as soon as the majority protest was tiled the mat- ter was dropped. Tuis praciice became so common that thbe matter was made one of personal civic pride and prominent merchants and others decided to visit the vrotestants and try and bring about a better condition of affairs. John Britton, general manager of the gas company, Julius Abrahamson. Dr. George Rodoiph, Martin Ryan§and James McElroy were appointed a committee to interview the property-owners ani appeal to their pride and standing as citizens. A thorough canvass bpas been made, and now i is reported that a mujority of the property-owners are in favor of the im- provement. Clay street has become dur- ing the past two years a very important business thoroughiare, and many large business blocks have been erected, but the great drawback has always been the bad condition of the street. The sireet was made nearly twenty vears ago and has been permitied to get worse, while no attempt h been mude to repair it. It isnow the worst street in the city, and 1s in the heart of the busie ness section. It will be entirely rebuilt. “The permanent improvement of its streets is what this city needs most to- day,” sad Superintendent of Streets Miller. “Badly as a park is needed, itis not such a necessity as good streets. With present facilities streets can be repaired at a minimum cost, and the expense is t light compared to what it used to be. Official printing is eheap. The city con- trivutes the use of the powerful steam roller, and property-owners do not seem to realize that the work can be aone hones'ly. Whetever foundation there may have been in the past forallthe com- nlaint about crooked work in the award of street contracts, there is no ground for complaint now.’ WILL ASK MORE MONEY, School Directors Af er Funds to Place Unsanitary School Buildings in Repair. The Health Committee of the Board of Education yesterday took up the recom- mendation of the Board oi Health that five schoolhou-es be closed until placed in saniary condition. It was decided to refer the matter to the | Buildings and Grounds Committee, rec- ommending that the expense of repairing schoolhouses be gaiculated and a state= ment made 10 the board. Inspector John O'Brien said it would tak- $20,000 to place the schools that are urgeatly in need of repair~in sanitary con- dition. ~ The committee decided to appear before t e Board of Supervisors to-mor- row and urge that the School D:partment be given $20,000 in ad.!ition to the amount already set asile for its use, in order to make the repairs that are urged by the Health Department. Failing to receive a_favorable answer to I their piea, the School D rectors wiil call the attention of the Board of Healih to a sec- | von of the law that requires the Heaith Department to summarily abate any nui- sance that may exist on vublic property | and ask an appropriation from the Loard, of Supervisors to defray the expences. —————— Baseball To- An interesting game of baseball is promised to-day at toe Presidio athletic grounds be= i | tween the White House and Berkeley Ga- ‘, zettes.
