OAKLAND, Oct. 2.—No race between the four-oared barge crew of the Univer- sity of Caiifornia and a junior crew rep- resenting the Alameda Boating Club took ¥ e to-day because the latter’'s oarsmen had no barge in which to row, their boat being at Belvedere. The Berkeley four | gave an exhibition of their prowess and went up against the crack rower, Henry Peterson, in a shell. Peterson won easily. The collegiate scullers pulled . well to- gether and displayed improvement in | their work. Those in the crew were W. B. Dandy, No. 1; G. Anloff, No. 2; E. Grindley, No. 3; E. B. Harley, No. 4. Several impromptu outrigger skiff races were also held over a half-mile stretch. Arthur Smith beat E. B. Harley two lengths, S. T. Pembroke won from Tom Keenan by a length, and H. L. Breed was defeated by Walter Stalder in a very close finish. No officlar time was taken. The races were held in the estuary off | Sessions Basin. Because of the football game and. attractions elsewhere the crowd that witnessed the aquatic events from the deck of the ship Berlin was small. R — Licensed to Marry.

The German ship Rigel, which left Ham- burg for this port 224 days ago, arrived yes. terday after one of the roughest voyages on record. The voyage commenced in tempestu ous weather and the Rigel came into this port wet and ragged from Friday's storm. When off. the north of- Scotiand -on March 30 the Rigel took a most disastrous dive into the ocean. She buried her head to the fore yard, and when she came up her bowsprit was gone. The carrying away of the bowsprit left the tore topmast without support and the mext roll snapped off that spar and sent it toppling over the port bow. Then the upper and lower top- sail yards came to the deek with a clatter. With her headgear in a hopeless snarl the Rigel was in no condition to continue the voy- ake. She put into Swansea, where she wus repaired and which port she left 138 days ago. ~She encountered bolsterous - weather throughout the voyage, and on Friday, when off this port, put in a particularly lively day with & brisk southwester. 15 OF LW VEX EDUCATORS State and County Boards. Assume Each Other to Be Wrorg. Teachers Have Difficulty With Certificates as Result. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Oct. 2. The State Board of Education and the Alameda County Board of Education are orposed to each other in the matter of extending teachers’ certificates. The coun- ty board by its action to-day in lssuing an extension of teachers' certificates two years from the date the certificate ex- pired instead of two years from the date the extension is made placed itself in di- rect opposition to the State educators. The State board has declared the fact that certificates shall run only from the | time they are extended, or about a year and a half of actual time, and not from the time they reaily expire. Already teachers of Alameda County when deal- ing with the State board have encoun- tered considerable difficulty owing to their* certificates having lapsed, according to the interpretation of the State board. The county board in standing by the pre- cedents established by itself assumes the State board is wrong. ‘As there is no law upon the subject the only way to settle the question is to have a test suit brought. The following certificates were issued by the board: 7, Permanent certificates—Special to Eva Cole. Primary—To Rhoda Clark. Grammar grade— To Mabel Barker and J. A. Cody. Recommended to State board for university document—Ellen Lamont and Rosswell Wheel- er. High School certificates—Estelle Lundy, Florence Kimball, George Huntting, Emma . White, J. A. Pearce, Ina Shippee. Grammar grade—Evangeline Adams Retta V. Jones. Primary renewal—Daisy Righter. Promoted to eighth grade—Stone Glasd, Lina Vandervoort, Michael Murphy, Allen Bruce, Alexander Most. and VERDICT OF ACCIDENT IN UNKNOWN’'S CASE Jury Recommends That Moore, Arata and Sanders Be Held Pending Further Investigation. An inquest was held yesterday by Cor- oner Leland on the body of an unknown man who died in the Central Emergency Hespital last Tuesday from the effects of a fractured skull. The evidence showed that Andrew West, a young man, and the decedent had a fight in the street, that the decedent ran away and that three other young men chased him about a block to the intersection of Front street and Broadway, wheré one of them struck him in the face with his fist. The un- known man immediately fell to the car track and his assailants ran away to a wagon standing close by and drove off., W. C. Herbert, who works in a cooper- age on the southeast corner of Front street and Broadway, witnessed the af- fair. He testified that when he went out to render assistance to the unconsclous man no one of the crowd that gathered around him offered to help him. “The word ‘scab’ passed around there quite lively,” he said. “It's a bad thing to be a scab there or to be called a scab, even if you are not one.” Albert Sanders, Robert Moore, Albert Arata, Andrew West and Lorenzo Steffan || were arrested on suspicion of having been the assailants. They declined to testify yesterday. The jury returned a verdict as follows: We, the jury, herewith find that the un- known man’ picked up on . the raflroad track unconscious at the junction of Front street and Broadway, and Who afterward died in the Central Emergency Hospital of this city and county, came to his death by a fracture of his skuil, probably caused by a fall and the coming in contact with the steel rail of the car track. Upon the testimony introduced we suggest that Robert Moore, Albert Arata and Albert Sanders be held pending further investization. i i Sellml e e S0 Rescues Two Small Boys. Captain Harry Johnson, admiral of the Peterson gasoline launch navy, rescued a couple of small boys yesterday In South Bay. The youngsters, who gave their names as John Stack of 25 Zoe street and Robert Griffo of 52 Zoe street, had undertaken to navigate the bay in a ten-foot skiff of a long ago launching. Tide and wind proved superior to the juveniis sallors’ skill as paddle men, and when John- son sighted their craft it was two miles beyond Hunters Point and still going. Johnson was towirg a yacht to Hunters Point and could not go to the rescue right away. When he had delivered the yacht, however, he mads after the skiff, picked up the crew’ and towed the fragile boat to the foot of Second street, where he landed the boys. Their boat was more than half full of water, and they had despaired of ever geelng home again when the rescue cam ———— Arrival of Famous Specialist. Dr. John L.

The Navy Department reached its final de- cision yesterday as to Which of the army transports it would tpke over. A navy board visited the ships selected yesterday morning nd the work of stripping those selected of army stores and fittings will be taken in hand to-morrow morning. The Lawton, Rellef and Hancock are the troopers which go to the navy. The Lawton will be used as a naval supply ship and probably will be kept in cominiesion between here and_the Asiatic station with an occasional trip to Pago Pago. The Relief will e used by the navy as a hospital ship and the Hancock, converted into a receiving ship, will probably replace the old Independence at Mare Jsiand. The Grant will be turned over to the engineers’ department just as soon as that branch of the service wants her. ———— Unknown Men Die Suddenly. An unknown man dropped dead yester- day afterncon in front of the City and County Hospital gate on Potrero avenue. He was on his way to he treatéd for gen- eral debility.

C. Merriam, head of the palaeontological department at Berkeley, that a new’ cavern, rich in fossil bones, has been discovered in the Shasta fossil caves near Baird. Geologist Sinclair, who has continued the work in the cavern made famous by the discovery of the rare arcotherium, or cave bear, reports the discovery of a branch cave replete with fossil material. Student Geologist Furlong, who made the first discovery of the rare relics, com- menced to dig through the siit to the floor of the cavern before he turned over the work to Sinclair. The latter has con- tinued the work of excavation until at the depth of seventeen feet he has uncovered the entrance to a new cavern, fully as large as the original. Upon entering the newly opened cave he found the surface of the cavern floor lit- teréd with the bones of the giant cave bear, just as they had lain there for thousands of years, since first the egress of their lair was filled up and they were trapped by, the slipping of the -earth. Some were found encrusted by the stalag- mite formation resulting from countless ages of dropping water. The bones found by Furlong in the main cavern were buried deep in siit and it was questioned whether or not the orig- inal animals had lived in the cave or their bones had been washed in by subter- ranean waters. The find of Sinclair proves conclusively that an anclent den of the monsters has been uncovered. Uncovered by a Geologist of Berkeley & < CAVE IN SHASTA COUNTY WHERE STUDENTS FOUND FOSSIL REMAINS. ES <+ The hasty report which Professor Mer- riam has received indicates that the uni- versity museum will be richer in remains of-the arcotherium than many of the great museums of Europe. Before the first find of Furlong in July only one frag- mentary skull existed as evidence of the existence of the animal on this continent. - Sinclair also reports the discovery of & chute leading from the main cavern up to the surface of the mountain forty feet above. This also will be investigated and more fossil bones, it is believed, will be discavered. ARTILLERY SOLDIER RUN OVER BY ELECTRIC CAR John Rials Killed While Attempting to Cross Street Railroad Track in a Fog. trip eastward at 5:49 a. m. yesterday the dummy struck a,_soldier who was crossi the track at the intersection of Fortle and . Point Lobos avenues and ran over him, mangling his body frightfully. The soldfer died in the park ambulance while being conveyed to the Golden Gate Park Emergency Hospital. ‘Walter R. Savage, the motorman of the car, said that there was a heavy fog or vapor on the ground and that the head- light of the car did not flash upon the body of the soldier until he was not more than fifteen feet distant. As soon as Sav- age saw him he reversed the current, but the car bad on too much headway and ran over the unfortunate man. R. Floethe, the conductor, corroborated the statement of the motorman as to the existence of a thick ground fog. Later in the day several soldiers called at the Morgue and identified the body as trat of John Rials, a member of the Six- ty-fourth Company of Coast Artillery. —————— PRINCE AND PRINCESS WILL VISIT AMERICA ‘King Edward Intends to Send Heir- Apparent and Wife to the World’s Fair.

Terminal People Agree to| Cross Southern Pacific Tracks on Elevation. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Oct. 25. By unanimous vote of those present the | City Council, sitting this afternoon in committee of the whole, recommended the | granting of the application of the San | Francisco Terminal Railway and Ferry Ccmpany for a franchise to operate a| steam rallroad through East Oakland and | Third street to the Oakland harbor front. | That the Council will formally act in line with the recommendation is a cer | tainty, as a majority of the body voted | favorably to-day and there is only one | known opponent to the measure in the | Council; namely, Courtney. | The franchise ordinance, in accordance | with the committee’s decision, will be amended to provide for the elevation u[‘ the new road's tracks at its crossing with the Southern Pacific tracks at Seventh | avenue, to establish the elevated gradesi through East Oakland and to make pro- | vision for an interlocking signal tower | system, with derailing rails, etc., at the track crossing at Third and Webster | streets. ‘The committee this afternoon heard pro- | tests from J. L. Donovan on behalf ol some qf the southside property owners. He said, however, that his only objection | would be made to the use of Third street for freight traffic only. He did not ap-| pear as antagonistic to the road if it| were a transcontinental system for both freight and passenger travel. | Protests against granting the franchise | wege read from the Building Trades | Council, president J. P. Burke, secretary | W. E. Greer; Shinglers’ Union, president | J. A. Mathew, secretary T. J. Courtney; Local Union No. 127, Brotherhood of Painters, Decorators and Paperhangers, president A. H. Hetherington, secretary F. H. Pratt. These organizations de- | clared the road would injure the property in the section through whieh it will oper- | ate. BARTNETT'S STATEMENT. A letter from W. J. Bartnett, president | of the new road, announced that it was | not the intention of the company to oc- cupy the entire width of Third street and that only such switches and turnouts would be built as were absolutely neces- | sary. A. A. Moore, representing the Southern Pacific Company, and W. S. Palmer, su- perintendent of the Western division of the Southern Pacific Company, appeared before the committee and objected to be- ing compelled to share the cost of main- taining the signal tower at Third and Webster streets claiming that the new | road should pay that expense. | Mr. Bartneétt explained to thé commit- | tee that since the last meeting an agree- ment had been made with the Southern Pacific Company about several disputed points. He sald: We have agreed to accept the elevations recommended by the City Engineer for th> tracks through.East Oakland. We will eross the Southern Paclfic tracks at Seventh avenue on an elevated track, twenty fset above the | Southern Pacific line. ' We will crcss Third and | Webster streets on the .present grade, but will | construct at our own expensc an interlocking signal system, and waive al this time the matter of the right of way across the Southern Pacific Company’s lands in East Oakland, | leaving that for future adjustment. REPRESENTATIVES DEBATE. There was a lengthy discussion between the representatives of the two railroads as to which should stand the cost of per: manently maintaining the signal system. Councilman Wallace shut off the debate by moving that the committee go into ex- | ecutive session. When the conference | was completed, President Louis Schaffer made a public report, saying: The committee has, in reaching a decision. taken into consideration the question whether to grant this franchise would b a benefit to the entire city. It has considered whether the entrance of this railroad would be of only a femporary inconvenience to some property own. ers along its line. The committee has con- sidered that thiS new road would be a grea: benefit to* these property-owners rather than a detriment because of the increased demand there will be for lands in that district for warehouse and factory sites. The committee has decided to recommend the passage of this franchise ordinance, amended to meet the con- ditions agreed upon by the two railroads. As to the matter of maintaining the crossing sig- nal tower, we refer the roads to the city char- ter, which says the expense must be borne between them. ! The Councilmen who voted to recom- | mend passage of the ordinance were: | Bishop, Boyer, . Cadman, Fitzgerald, Schaffer and Wallace. Afterward Attorney Bartnett said: The matter of the right of way through the Southern Paclific Company's lands will be ‘We have agreed to make th There will be no trouble about the tower proposition. That can be easily settled.

Judge Suspends Sentence fo.r Sake of Young Wife and Babe. Oakland' Office San Francisco Cal, 1118 Broadway, Oct. 25. Unmindful of the gaze of curious loung= ers, Mrs. Frank Terrault, with her fifteen~ months-old girl babe clasped closely in her arms, sat in the Police Court this morn- ing and allowed tears of sympathy to course down her cheeks, while her hus~ band, not yet 22 years of age, confessed to being a petty embezzler and begged the mercy of the court. Terrault’s downfall was due to a passion for playing nickel-in-the-slot machines. He admitted to his employers, Thompson & Thompson, millmen, at Second and Brush streets, for whom he worked as a collector, that he had lost heavily in try- ing to beat the mechanical gambling de- Vvices, and in a desperate effort to recoup his losses had spent money that belonged to the firm. - He was arrested after he had admitted his wrong-doing, It was developed in the trial that Ter- rault was the sole support of his young and pretty wife and babe a. mainmln;d his mother and ’::o::::?:-:io & confessed to my emplo; ers, Honer,” sald Terrault to p.!ugge Smith, that I took their money because I was tempted to gamble. I now realize my mis- take and if given a chance [ will do all in my power to right the wrong I have d and employers.”™ During his brief plea T!rramp('syer;el were dim with tears, “If only yourself were concerned,” said Judge Smith to Terrault, “I would show you no mercy for your actions. But I know not what would become of your young wife and babe if [ were to com- mit you to prisen. For their sake I wils suspend sentence on you for sixty days. In that time you will have an opportunity to redeem yourself in the eyes of this | court, your family and friends. Come here on December 24 and tell me that you have | let the nickel-in-the-slot machines alone, and should you again be tempted to sit dewh to a gambling table recall the face of your wife and child. You may go now. ~ Terrault and his weeping wife thanked the court. Judge Smith kissed the couple’s beautiful baby and the trio went from the courtroom, happy to be again united. PREPARING TO MOVE GIRLS’ TRAINING HOME Society Secures Option on New Quar- ters and Pays First Install- ment Thereon. - The California Girls' Traiing Home, at 147 Natoma street, is about to move inta newer and larger quarters and assume greater responsibilities and harder work. Much sympathetic interest has followed the quiet and practical work of this insti- tution in extending a willing hand to helpless girls. A new home has been purchased in Alameda and is being prepared for occu- pancy November 1. The purchase price was $10,000 for a fifty-room house with | large grounds, formerly the old Koolmoos Hotel. Upon hearing of the worthy pro- ject John 1. Sabin, George W. Scott and Mrs. Susan J. Locke sent $1000 each with hich to pay the first deposit, and 32000 has been raised since. Where the remain- ing 35000 will come from is a problem which will have to be solved before the 15tk of next month, when the balance must- be paid. Several prominent ministers who are interested In the project and are to ad- vocate public help from their pulpits to- day are : Dr. Rader, Third Congrega- tional Church; Dr. Briggs, Methodist; Dr. Guthrie, First Presbyterian; Dr. Weeden, 8t. Luke's; Dr. E. A. Woods, First Bap- tist, and the acting pastor at Hamilton= Square Baptist Church. The California Girls’ Training Home ‘was organized about eight years ago by a number of charitable women, one of whom found a girl of 12 In court charged with vagrancy.
