How did | they all get there, people of the crowd asked, and whence did they all come? *“No matter where they came from,” various Elks reply, “they were there and we brought them, even if we never dreamed there would ba such a crowd in the whole week. Never before in Oakland’s history did 50 many people as gathered last night oc- cupy the same space at the same time. As some one said in the thick of it, if they had been sardined they couldn't have been packed any closer. If you got your hands up you couldn’'t have got them down, and if you had them down | you wouldn't bave wanted to get them up. It would have been a bad place for a highwayman to have said “Hands up?’ because nobody would have acquiesced,| even at the pistol's point. The crowd was very good-natured, too. 1t was tickled, seemingly, at having been surpriged. It was pleased because it got | a good deal more than it gave. It said fine things about the arrangements and Elks’ complimented the management SUPERVISORS OF PLACER . WILL TALK OF “HOPPERS"” AUBURN, June 15,—The Supervisors of Placer County will meet to-morrow to take action in conjunction with the Sac- ramento Supervisors relative to the grass- hopper raid at Roseville. Adolph Schno- bel, one of the largest orchard owners in the infested section, says he fears but little .damage, while, on the other hand, C. W. Threlkeld, a large vineyardist, says he has lost 3000 vines already. The people are thoroughly aroused, but the District Attorney will advise the Supervisors that they have no jurisdiction. Most people believe it within the province of the County Board of Horticulture, but that body has refused to assume the responsi- mmly of burning the infested pasture land. Shooting at San Rafael.

The facilities for getting icto the grounds were about as complete as human ingenuity could make them. Iff spite of the impatient thousands knocking for ad- mission through the imposing gateway on Eleventh street, there was no crowding, no pushing, no mauling. The ticket of- | flees out onl the street provided tickets as | fast as two dozen hands could pass them out, and then 'a half-dozen turnstiles, with their capacidus maws wide open, de- voured the tickets and ticket-holders. In this way 25,000 people got into the grounds during the day. BRILLIANT ILLUMINATION. The taste displayed in the lighting ef- fects and their extent were sources of wonder to everybody. Mpyriads of incan- escent lights shed their rays upon the eads of the multitude. They studded thickly the arch covering the main gate- way. They climbed to the tops of tall flagpoles. They outlined bufldings. From massive white pillars equidistant about the grounds they hung in troops and fes- toons. Out of the trees and beneath run- | ning waters white and colored lights peeped and nodded a welcome to the vis- itor. The half-shell of the band stand was brilllant with light.

THE S(REET FROM T . et S ) - INTO ELKS FAIR ON THE OPENING DA DRAW: THESE ILLUSTRATIONS GIVE A SLIGHT IDEA OF THE BEAUTY AND MAGNITUDE OF THE ELKS' FAIR IN OAKLAND, WHICH IS NG PEOPLE FROM ALL PARTS OF THE STATE. | =] i - 0 Turnstile Records Show Phenomenal Attendance Dur= ing First Afternoon and Evening. School building two great searchlights sent their uncanny eyes peering into the secrets and recesses of the crowd. The spectacle was likened by many peo- ple to a picture of the past—the Midwin- ter Fair. And the show, with its fantas- tic scenes and bizarre ‘effects, did make this fair look like a miniature to its by- Bone predéeessor. There were a thousand temptations for the prodigal, and to shut the ear to the importunities of the sirens of the Midway was an impossible feat. Money was oOf little value anyway. The man with his wife and babies and the fellow with his girl were alike improvident. They took in and were taken in by everything that came along. If one show didn’'t meet the fancy, why, they just passed on to the next and said, “‘It's only 10 cents; what's the difference?” ELKS’ STORE THE THING. Most. liberally patronized among the concessions was the Elks' country store. Everybody bought a consignment at the store and a throng was about it all the time, walting to get a surprise package. Ten cents bought a number and the num- ber corresponded with a package and the package became the purchaser’s. The parcels contained many strange things, some of them quite extraordinary. They might be anything from a plow to a g [ ] FAILS TO RECOGNIZE HIS ANXIOUS MOTHER Estes Jones, 10 years of age, living at 391 Eddy street, was picked up on the water front last night by Policeman O’Cal- lahan. The boy's head was swathed “in bandages and he could give no coherent account of himself. Shortly after he had been taken to the city prison his mother arrived in search of him and she gave an explanation of his condition. She sald the boy had been struck by an Ellis street car last Monday and recelved a severe blow on the head. He had been taken to St. Joseph's Hospital for treat- ment. Yesterday morning she went there to visit him and found him missing. She spent the day searching for him, and was overjoyed when she found him at the city prison. He did not recognize her and it was apparent that he was suffer- ing from some serious injury to hisg brain.. His mother took him home with ?ex;i and will return him to the hospital o-day. —_— e .

Grotesque Parade crochet needle. 'The store kept a dozen clerks handing out the things. Charles J. Heeseman 'is at the- head of this feature. The Rellance circus was overburdened with people seeking admission to its per- | formances. The end of the day showed receipts from 1500 people for five per- formances. It is worth a good deal more than the price of admission, too, this circus, and the separation from his dime | brings no regrets from the spectator. There is a slack wire “turn,” a double | trapeze act, juggling, club swinging, tumbling end bare-back riding and all other doings that a modern circus is heir to. The committee in charge consists of Captain Fred Elsey, Charles Elsey Jr., Louie A. Lefever, Paul T. Carroll, Phil H. Rosenheim, Ed Smith, Fred Winter, Walter Cole and J. M. Jellett. Club Superintendent Walter B. Fawcett is general manager. The Elks have on- exhibition a parent elk of the dumb variety—a monarch of the forest. He was killed in Washington several years ago and is supposed to have been 'the largest elk ever siain. He weighs 900 pounds. His wife and two children are with him. You pay 10 cents to see them and get a glass of soda water thrown in. EVEN THE JAIL IS FULL. The police arrangements were in har- mony with the rest of the fair's manage- ment and the Elks’ county jail was over- crowded most of the day. Policemen g0 out and grab a _man for walking on_the grass—a very difficult thing to keep off of —and hale him off to the bastile, where he either pays a fine or stays until he does. Policemen are llable to grow alongside of you for the slightest infrac- tion. Delicious luncheons are being served by the ladies of the Young Women's Chris- tlan Association in their booth, which has been made to look like a bower in the wood. The booth to-morrow will be in charge of Mrs. C. Judkins, Mrs. Henry Bull, Mrs. R. B. Thompson, Mrs. H. B. Mehrmann, Mrs. W. A. Shrock, Mrs. F. W. Morse, Mrs. J. S. Emery, Mrs. George C. Pardee, Mrs. irving C. Lewis, Mrs. Charles 8. Chamberlain, Miss Penni- mann, the Misses Kurtz and Miss White. Pledmont* Sulphur Springs is repre- sented by one of the prettiest exhibits on the grounds. Great rocks from the hills have been piled high and down their sides trickle tiny streams of water. A hollow in the face of one of the bowlders is filled with water restrained by a plate of glass, behind which colored lights play vpon golden fish. The whole is inclosed by a danopy of limbs and greens. On the Midway there is a grand display of speilers and other monstrosities. The three-legged cow, the hirsute girl, the pedal penwoman, the snake-charmer, tife lion tamer, the contortionist and the tall man all vie for the favor of the crowds. The spleler spits out in a mongrel voice the various attractive attributes of his show, and the victim pays 10 cents, “or one dime,” to have his curiosity satiated. It is all very pleasing and the crowd is satisfied with the Midway. GREAT GROTESQUE PARADE. The Elks will have charge of the pro- ramme to-morrow evening. They will Enve a parade full of unique features, and it is boasted that nothing Ifke it has ever been planned before. It will be fun from beginning to end and the surprises will be many.

OAKLAND, June 16.—Willlam J. Clay, an employe of the trained lion concess'on at the Elks’ Falr, almgst had his arm bit- ten off by one of. the lions to-night. Clay was feeding the lions and doing his usual work about the cages, when one of the animals, with a snarl, snapped at him. His left arm was within the cage at the time and the lion caught it fairly between his teeth, inflicting two ugly wounds where the jaws closed over the arm, lacerating and crushing the flesh. Clay was taken to the Receiving Hos- pital, where it was found necessary to take nine stitches in one of the bites and five in the other. The wounds were specially treated in | order to prevent poisoning. The doctors say that the only danger now is from blood polsoning, but that the wonder is that Clay did not lose his arm. Clay is an old-time circus and men- agerie man and has traveled with wild | animal shows for thirty years. Y ! 439, B. P. 0. E—Dit- | BADLY INJURED IN A RUNAWAY Mrs.D.E. Skinner Caught Under Overturned Trap. | | | | i She Is Dragged a Considerable Distance Before Being Rescued. | ] ; Special Disp_afch to The Call | SAN RAFAEL, June.15—Mrs. D. E. Skinner had a narrow escape from death tc-Gay in a runaway accident and to-night is in a precarious condition. Mrs. Skinner and her little boy went out riding about 9:30 this morning in a trap drawn by two horses and handled by her coachman, John O'Donnell. The animals were fractious at the start, but after traveling several miles became less nervous. The accident oceurred on the boulevard between this city and the coun- ty almshouse, where the rcad is quite circuitous and narrow in places. The | horses were traveling at a slow trot whem a rabbit jumiped out of the brush from | the side of the road and frightened the | ¢ on e oft side. The horse jumped clear over the pola | of the trap and so frightened the other | horse that they both tried to run off. | Being unable to get away they wheeled | quickly and overturned the trap, throwing the occupants violently to the ground. Mrs. Skinner fell underneath the vehicle | and her child, a boy abour four years old, landed on the side of the road. The coach- | man was also caught by the overturned {rig. The animals being thoroughly fren- zied by this time dragged the trap along the road and Mrs. Skinner beneath it. Willlam Eden, a local undertaker, was driving along at the time and ran to the rescue of the lady. He succeeded In stop- ping the runaway horses and assisted the coachman in getting Mrs. Skinner from under the wreckage. She was unconscious and badly cut about the head and body:. | Eden drove back to the.almshouse and telephoned to Dr. Wickman of this ecity. William Jones, the poorfarm manager, hitched up his team and spring wagon in the meantime and the injured lady was brought to her home in this city. It was found by the physician that one of her limbs was broken in two places. Her body was badly bruised also and it is feared | that she’ has suffered Internal injuries. | Her recovery is doubtful | Several pi iclans are in consultation | to-night and everything possible is being | done to allay her suffering.

Special Dispatch to The Call. WASHINGTON, June 15.—The Navy Départment does not intend to be caught napping, as it was when the war with Spaln was declared. - It is proposed not only to place the nation's warships in the highest state of efficiency, so they may be immediately ready for active ser- vice should the emergency arise, but to | prepare still further the coast defenses | to withstand the entrance of any hostile fleet into ports of the United States. Two orders which have been issued by he Navy Department disclose what im- portant work the general board of the navy has been engaged in of late., These orders read: “Rear Admiral P. H. Cooper is placed in charge of preparations for war in the district extending from Chatham Light, Cape Cod, to Barnegat Light, N. J. “Rear Admiral L. Kempff is ordered to San Francisco, Cal., to take charge of preparations for war in the Pacifie Coast district, extending from Puget Sound to the, Mexican border.” The general scheme for the defensive measures has been prepared by the gen- eral naval board, detdils of which have been left to these officers to work out. The coast line, according to the general lan, is to be divided into four districts or naval defense, just as was done dur- ing the Spanish war. One district will | comprise the whole Pacific Coast, while the others will cover the Atlantic and Gulf States. The two to which office have been assigned will be used as mode! | They will be thoroughly organized befors attention is given to the others. In addi- tion a thorough understanding -will be reached with the different States whereby the naval reserves will know in advance what is expected of them should war be declared against the United States. It is contemplated also that the army shall co-operate with the navy, since the War Department controls the coast de- | fenses, whose employment necessarily | must be in harmony with the operations | of the naval forces. .Already the mili- | tary authorities have expressed a desire for full co-operation with the navy. Captain Randolph, chief of the artillery | corps, has invited the joint participation | of the army and navy in a mimic war | that is to be waged off Long Island dur- ing the summer. The details for the scheme for defense, of course, will be kept secret. Opera Singer Killed by a Car. CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 15.—Arthus Underwood of Boston, a prominent mem= ber of the Castle Square Opera Company, playing an engagement in this city, was struck and killed to-night by a street car at the corner of Euclid and Austin ave- nues.
