Citizens’ Committee Decides to Effect Permanent Organization. BERKELEY, Sept. 20.—Disgusted with the professed inability of the town au- thorities to provide adequate police pro- tection for West Berkeley, the citizens’ vigilance committee has decided to per- fect a permanent organization for the purpose of dealing immediately and ef- fectively with any future outbreaks of crime which may occur in that portion of the city. The committee decided fin- ally to effect such an organization after the members of the town Board of Trus- tees had openly stated that the finances of the city rendered the employment of a larger police force impossible. The committee then decided to take the responsibiiity of maintaining peace in ‘West Berkeiey out of the hands of the police and into their own keeping. Twenty- four men have entered into the organiza- tion, thus binding themselves to be ready at any time to patrol the streets and to afford all the protection in their power to the citizens of the town. The citizens’ patrol was maintained last night, but nothing of moment occurred. The citizens of the town are beginning to think that the carnival of crime is over and many are not-slow to attribute its cnd to the prompt action of the citizens’ committee. This is in spite of the fact that the police authorities have thus far refused to recognize or ald the committee in any way, practically maintaining that such a committee did not exist.

A Dollar and One-Halt for 10c. | The Sunday Call’s new literary policy of publishing a complete | movel in two, orat the most, three, issues of a newspaper, has worked a revolgtion in the matter of giving the public the best literature | at a minimum price; moreover it does away with that exasperating { delay so tantalizing to the reader of serial fiction where the story is dragged along from week to week and month to month. The first book published was “None But the Brave”; then — came ‘“Lazarre”—both extremely popular books—and now comes “The Mystery Box,” a strikingly dramatic novel, which is just be- gun in to-day’s magazine section, and will from start to finish. This remarkable departure in Western journalism has met | with truly wonderful success. The first two novels created a great | | furore not only because they were given complete in two or three editions, but because they were illustrated in a manner equally unique. to-date novels cost in book form. If you have been following the published reports of the best lit- erary works of the past year which have been attracting the greatest attention you have doubtless noticed that “The Gentle- man From Indiana,” “Alice of Old Vincennes,” “The Autocrats,” “The Leopard’s Spots” and “When Knighthood Was in Flower” have gained tremendous vogue, and you need read no further than the bare announcement that the exclusive rights for the Pacific Coast have been secured by The Sunday Call, and the novels in turn will be given early publication. That announcement is in it- self a promise of a literary feast for a ridiculously low price. | But if you haven’t noticed the book world’s tabulated list, a few words about each book will epeak volumes, for the names of the authors alone are the best guarantee of the excellence of the whole list. fully represented before. dramatic than “Audrey.” business world of the period. day Call.

From Niles Canyon a massive bowlder of ten tons weight has been set in place in the High School grounds at Niles to mark the spot where two memorial trees will shortly rise in commemoration of the lives of two Presidents of the United States—George Washington and William McKinley. The first of these trees, which was planted in 1897 by the High School Trus- tees, is the Washington tree. The com- panion tree will be set next Saturday by the school children of Washington Town- siip as a memorial to the third President of the natior who suffered death at the hands of an assassin. Between these trees will stand the huge rock, in its natural state but bearing two tablets of brass, which have been cast from special designs. Upon the first of ::1& tablets will be the following inscrip- on: 3 Sequola Glgantea—This tree was planted in honor of George Washington by the trustees of the High School February 22, 1897. The second tablet bears the following: Araucaria Compacta Robusta—This tree was planted in memory of William McKinley by the school children of Washington Town- ship September 27, 1902. A portion of the huge bowlder will be hollowed and in the cavity will be placed a brass cylinder, which will contain the names of the contributors to the memo- rizl fund, programme of the exercises, copies of Washington Township papers and a copy of a speech delivered by Wil- liam R.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call 1118 Broadway, Sept. 200 The fortune left by Matthew King, & re- puted miser, who died miserably ‘in a lonely cabin on his property, corner Twenty-fourth street and Broadway, in 1896, will be the cause of litigation be- tween the State and Mary King Yorke, who claims to be a niece. Two weeks ago the alleged niece made claim to the estate and to-day the State Attorney General, through Attorney E. Myron Wolf, put in an appearance. At the time of his death King was re- ported to be wealthy. It was believed that he had buried treasure, amounting to thousands of dollars, but a diligent search on the part of the Public Admin- istrator failed to disclose the hiding place. For six years there were no claimants. Just before steps were taken to have the property at Broadway and Twenty-fourth street escheated to the State, Mrs. Yorke put in an appearance and claimed the estate,-with the result that the courts will have to decide to whom the valuable property belongs.

BRIDE DECLARES LOVE HAS FLED Young Spouse of Arthur: Colby Applies for a Divorce. - After Half a Year of Wed=-! 1ot Wife Says Hus- band Is Cruel Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1113 Broadway, Sept. 29. Because the love of Arthur E. Colby, her husband, grew cold ere the honey- moon had waned, Mrs. Undine Colby, a bride of scracely seven months, is now suing her spouse for a diverce on the ground that his affection is dead and that his cruel actions have caused her great mental suffering. The complaint, which was filed to-day, is replete with allegations of caresses which were scorned and kisses which wers disdained. The young wife says her hus- band, who is an operator in the employ of the Western Union Telegraph Company, scon after their marriage repulsed her manifestations of affection and declared against the practice of a wife making love to her husband. The result of the treat- ment, the wife alleges, caused an estrangement, which was equivalent to a desartion on the husband’s part. The hus- band's act also caused great mental suf- fering, the plaintiff says. Upon these two grounds the wife asks that the bonds of matrimony be severed. Before her marriage Mrs. Colby was a Miss Hansen. Both young people were well connected soclally and their friends fmphes}ed an unusally happly married ife for them. The young couple have been residents of East Oakland. Colby belongs to one of the ploneer families of this city. OBJECTS TO EMPLOYE'S SPEECHES ON SOCIALISM Stockton Rochdale Company Parts With Its Organizer and Lecturer. STOCKTON, Sept. 20.—The Stockton- Rochdale Company, it is said, knows its erstwhile organizer and lecturer, M. V. Rork, no more. Rork, who was an able speaker, was brought here to work in the interests of the Rochdale Company. He was to explain the Rochdale system and induce residents to become not only cus- tomers of the prosperous Rochdale store, but stockholders in the company. It de- veloped that Rork’s belief went mueh fur- ther than co-operation. He was a social- ist, and he professed to favor some of the more radical principles. 9 In a lecture at a Rochdale social one evening Rork made some criticisms on the Government and the times which fairly made his audience gasp, and one evening this week he went even further. He delivered a lecture on the plaza in the course of which he is said to have declared that the Government was a veiled assassin of the people’s rights. Some of the Rochdale peoplie heard the talk, and the result was, it is sald, that Rork sought pastures new. The Roch- dale people say they are co-operationists, but not socialists. ———— LAWYER CUTS SHORT READING OF DECISION Proceeding Stopped Abruptly in the Case of Former University Treasurer., CHICAGO; Sept. 20.—Novel means were used to-day in an effort to secure the Iib- erty of Charles Willlam Spalding, former president of the Globe Savings Bank, and treasurer of the University of Illinois, convicted of embezzling university funds. Judge Dunne, who has for some time been considering a writ of habeas cor- pus in the case, was preparing to read kis decision, which was understood in advance to be adverse to the prisoner, when Attorney W. G. Anderson stopped proceedings by taking another petition before Judge Hanecy. New evidence will be produced in behalf of the banker pris- oner, who has been fighting for freedom for six years. Good conduct has been the prineipal plea for freedom, but some time ago the State Board of Pardons refused to grant im liberty because it was belleved he still had a portion of the embezzled funds of the university C e RUSSIAN PRINCE TRIES TO COMMIT SUICIDE Officer of the Imperial Yacht Stand- art Makes an Attempt to Shoot Himself.
