Hundreds of Elks were gathered about the grend court and music pavilion, where the closing ceremonies were witnessed by thousands, who joined in the music so | tamiliar to every Elk and so appropriate to the finale of the splendidly successful fete. There were speeches of congratulation and a formal return of the key, the em- blem representing the freedom of the city, that had been in the custody of Director General Max Schleuter, to Mayor Anson Barstow. A felicitous address by his Honor followed, and there was nothing but praise for everybody who had con- tributed to the success of the carnival, marked as it was by not a single unpleas. ant incident. It is a record of which Oakland Lodge of Elks might well be | proud. | ATTENDANCE WAS LARGE. More than 80,000 people passed through the gates to-day, swelling the total num- ber of admissions during the carnival to more than 130,000, a figure almost double that which before the fair was opened it was estimated would attend. Oakland and the neighboring cities re- sponded in & way that has not only de- lighted the promoters of this street fair, but has given the city an impetus calcu- lated to be of inestimable value. That element of the carnival is one which men of affairs in Oakland have found an en- thusiastic subject of discourse. That Oakland can attract from without has been so splendidly demonstrated that the city has been invigorated beyond the fondest hopes of the business men who lent their assistance in this week of gayety. It was to this aspect that Mayor Bar- stow pointed strongly to-night during his address at the closing of the fair. And he seid further: A CREDIT TO OAKLAND. I think every citizen of Oakland joins with me in expressing gratification at the manner in which you have carried out your self-imposed 'task. The fair has been a credit to Oakland and an honor to the Elks. The generous pat- ronage extended to your enterprise testifies to the public appreciation of your efforts, and is a heartly recognition of the attractions you have presented. That you have gained the finaneial rewards your undertaking deserves is as cheering to me as it is eatisfactory to you. I think all the residents of the city heartily rejoice that you have succeeded beyond the measure of your expectations. The fair has been remarkable for its good order and for the absence of objectionable fea- tures or disreputable practices. It has been a | place where gentiemen could take thelr wives | 2nd children at all times with perfect freedom and propriety. The amusements have been clean and attractive and I feel constrained to say that you gentlemen have shown to no bet- ter advantage than in the moral tone of your management. We have had a week of merry- making—a day off, as it were—from the cares and trials of ordinary business, and we have enjoyed it all the more because it leaves mo | bad taste in the mouth. We have had thou- sands of visitors from all over the State who have praised the enterprise and public spirit of Oakiand, and expressed surprise at the beautl- ful exhibition made on these grounds, POLICE COMMENDED. The Mayor added a word of commenda- tion for the police and street departments, upon which bad devolved much labor during_the week. San Francisco was represented to-night by several thousand EIks and their friends, who came In special boats and trains. Besides there were many train- Joads of visitors from across the bay, with hundreds from Alameda, Berkeley Estimates as to the net returns from Key Giving Freedom to City Formally Returned. the fair range from $10,000 to $14,000. The final figures will be far in excess of the amount it was hoped would be realized. AND ELKS MEET ELKS. San Francisco Sends Thousands to Enjoy Oakland’s Hospi- tality. OAKLAND, June 21.—Elks from San Francisco and their friends in herds of thousands stampeded this city to-night. The Oakland Elks met them at the pler, at the statlons and at every street and trail leading to the grand carnivai corral, ana showed them what true Elk hospl tality is like. A special ferry-boat brought the San Franclsco Elks to the pler and two spe- cial trains conveyed them to Broadway station. When the first sectlon arrived 1200 Elks, thelr ladies and friends formed in line and, led by a brass band and the reception committee of Oakland Lodge, marched up Broadway from Seventh to Jleventh street, turned down the latter thoroughfare and paraded beneath the illuminated entrance and into the carni- val grounds. The reception committee and band then returned to Broadway sta- tion, met the second special train and repeated their first happy maneuver. In the second procession were nearly 1500 Elks and their guests. Within the carnival inclosure the San Franciscans were the reciplents of every attention and cordiality that could be given them by the hosts of Oakland Lodge, and every member constituted himself a host. Exalted Ruler Percy V. Long of San ¥rancisco Lodge and Exalted Ruler G. Russell Lukens of Oakland Lodge were conspicuous in the parades and festivities and omitted nothing that tended to pro- mote the great joy of the two herds at finding themselves in one pasture of pleasure. Among the many Oakland Elks on the reception committee that met the visitors were Exalted Ruler G. R. Lukens, Judge H. A. Melvin, D. H. Priest, F. M. Davie, ¥red Osgood, Captain Stevens, Captain Freeman, E. O. Beamish, George Faulk- ner, Frederick Graham, Willlam Mat- thews, R. L Auld, J. E. Whiting, F. W.

OAKLAND, June 21.—The Iladies in charge of the several women’s conces- sions at the fair are much pleased with the success which has attended their ef- forts, and a half-dozen or ‘more of Oak- land’s charitable organizations will be richer for the week's work at the carni- val. Especially are the Fabiola ladies pleased, for the demand for their dough- nuts exceeded their fondest expectations. Mrs. Allen D. Wilson and Mrs. Willard Barton were in charge of the booths this afternoon and evening, and were assisted by Mrs. Eleanor Deering, Mrs. E. 8. Baker,, Mrs. G. Lathrop, Mrs. W. W. Standéford, . Mrs. Arthur Brown, Mrs, Henry Dieckmann, Mrs. Robert 8. Knight, Miss Marle Plaw, Miss Margaret —% Sinclair, Misses Kate and Claire Chabot and that indefatigable “spieler” Willard Barton.

Porter Shaw and Albert Ralstan ‘were very amusing as “splelrs” for the booth. Miss Kate Cole was in charge to-day, her corps of as- sistants including Mrs. J. B. Richardson, Mrs. Sarah B. Cheek, Mrs. L. N. Gross, Miss Elsle Cole, Miss Alice Wright, Miss } “Country Store.”” This scheme was orig- — Florence Fogg, Misses Beulah and May Summers, Miss Pearl Merrill, Miss M. T.

Pet Scheme of Heeseman Produces a Great Deal of Money. OAKLAND, June 21L.—The most profit- able feature of the fair as far as the Elks themselves are concerned has been the inated by Charles J. Heeseman and has been carried out by him and his staff of assistants in a manner to add nearly $2000 to the treasury of the Elks. Every evening during the fair a dozen husky-lunged young Elks have been “spieling” for the wares of the country store, and the fact that the sales have been more than. $300 a night shows the success of their work. The original- ity that has been shown in this work has been the wonder of the week, and every night the people have crowded around the WIDOW GETS HALF OF TUBBS ESTATE Mother and Niece's Son Share in Remaining Portion. ‘Will Bears Date a Few Days Subsequent to Deceased’s Secret Marriage. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, June 21 Under the terms of the will of the lats Herman A. Tubbs, who met death in an accident Monday last at Sausalito, his widow, Alice L. Tubbs, receives half of the estate. The deceased’s mother, Susan A. Tubbs, and Herman Drew Nichols, the son of his niece, Ethel Nichols, share the remaining half. The will was flled for probate to-day by the widow and the niece’s som, who are nominated in the will to officiate as executors without bonds. The instrument bears the date of Janu- ary 28, 1902—just a few days subsequent to the secret marriage that was contract- ed by young Tubbs and Alice L. Meader- Jeffries. It was drawn up in San Fran- cisco and was witnessed by T. F. Draper and S. H. Rich, both of that city. According to the first provision of the will the widow is bequeathed the hand- some residence that the deceased had re- cently finished in Sausalito. It is on Cen- tral avenue, near Sunshine avenue, and rests upon an ample piece of ground. All the furniture and other improvements are included in the beques] Herman Drew Nichols es in for all the shares of the capital stock of the Union National Bank of Oakland and the Union Savings Bank of Oakland that stood in Tubbs’ name at the time of his death. The stock is to be free of all in- cumbrance and if at the time of death any of the stock should be heid by any- body as collateral for loans or as security for any indebtedness, the indebtedness is to be settled out of the funds of the estate and delivgred to Nichols free of all liens. The value of the stocks is un- known. The widow and the mother are to share equal n the residue, and to facilitate its distribution the executors are authorized to sell any portion of it. The value of the estate is not knmown as the petition that accompanies the will ! merely states that it is worth over $10,000, although the entire property is estimated to be worth at least $250,000. The prin- cipal asset of the estate is the interest in the Tubbs Cordage Company, of which the deceased was the vice president. Be- sides there is a tract of valuable land in East Oakland, adjoining Geranium V! la, the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Smith; the Washington Hall property at the southeast corner of Sixth avenue and East Twelfth street, and stocks and bonds in various corporations. Wilson & Wil- son of San Francisco are the attorneys for the widow. HE DREW A PISTOL ON THE CONDUCTOR James Paine Attempts to Settle Fam- ily Trouble on the West Berkeley Local. BERKELEY, June 21 —There was a hand-to-hand encounter in the baggage- room of the 6 o’clock West Berkeley local on Tuesday night last, in which the con- ductor, Howard J. Pereau of 2426 Fourth street, and James Paine, who lives on the corner of Page and Third streets, were principals. Paine drew a pistol and tried to shoot Pereau, but was disarmed. Paine, whose wife recently sued for divorce on the grounds of desertion, felt that it was Pereau who had allenated his wife's affections. The husband mads sev- eral threats against the conductor. The trouble culminatéd in Paine’s attack on Pereau. Since the encounter special effort has been made by both parties to hush the matter up. It {is understood that Paine has made a formal apology to the man he tried to shoot and that they have buried the hatche —_——— Thanks for Manager Stevens.

The plan is unique. Tickets cost 10 cents each, and every ticket draws some- thing. It may be a shoestring or it may be a live goat or it may be a buggy.

Ott, Charles Hart, Ed Weidler, Charles Hannon, Oscar Strauss, Dave McLaughlin, Al Lean, Ray Baker, W. H. J. Matthews, J. Cal Ewing, J. C. Hanna and a host of others. Court Does Good Work. A double edition of the Elks' polics court was In operation to-night, the exe- cutioners being Willlam Hume and Clar. ence Crowell. These dignitaries, in prop- er wig and gown, threw out bunches of Justice that would have made the mytho- logical lady with the scales tremble had she witnessed the scene. y Primed for auxiliary efforts were Billy Dean and J. Cal Ewing, as bailiff and clerk respectively. They waited like tigers in their lair for one notable victim, to wit —Mayor Eugene E. Schmitz. But San Francisco's chief executive missed the boat. In retaliation the bewhiskered po- lice attaches haled Mayor.Anson Barstow before the august tribunal and the court in bank promptly fined tLe Oaklander 3 because he had failed to produce his brother Mayor from across the bay. The Elks court was one of the attrac- tions of the carnival and a tidy sum was reaped from the enforced oferings on the altar of justice from the many vie- tims, willing and unwilling, who were dragged before the bar
