As a compromise settlement in the con- troversy over closing streets at North Oakiand and Emeryville for the pro- posed Santa Fe terminal yards, Captain W. H. Payson, for the railroad, to-night made a proposition before the City Coun- cli, In committee of the whole, to cut a | street parallel to Yerba Buena avenue through the railroad property, from Hol- lis to Center streets. He also said the company would ex- tend Center street on the present lines, or others equally as convenient, across Yerba Buena avenue south. This would, with Hollls street to remain open, givi gufficient outlet for North Oakland traver into Park avenue northerly, according to company’s views.

STONE 13 LAID BY THE MASONG Impressive Ceremony at New Library Site in Santa Rosa. Great Throng Is Present to Witness Parade and . Exercises. —_—r————— Spectal Dispatch to The Call. SANTA ROSA, April 13.—This was a gala day in- the history of Masonry in County in general. This city was filled with masons and their wives, who came from far and near to participate in the ceremonies of laying the cornerstone of the new free public library being erected here with the donation of $20,000 made by Andrew Carnegie. Many Knights Tem- plar from ~Napa, Vallejo, Petaluma, Healdsburg, Cloverdale and Ukiah came in on the morning trains and participated in the parade as guests of Santa Rosa Commandery No. 14, K. T. The laying of the cornerstone was con- ducted by the Grand Lodge of Masons of California, Worshipful Master Orrin 8. Henderson of: Stockton being present to conduct the service. Preceding the cere- monies a monster parade was formed, participated in by nearly all of the fra- ternal societies of this city. It is estimated that about 1200 men were in line and the members of Rose Valiey Crapter, O. E. 8., and Oak Leaf Rebekah Lodge, 1. O. O. F., also participated. President W. D. Reynolds of the board of ltbrary trustees acted as president of the dav and there was music by Parks’ Santa Rosa band and a number of se- lections by the Temple quartet of San Francisco. The Rev. L. D. Rathbone, secretary of the board of library trus- tees, made a brief address, tracing the history of the library In this city. The presentation of the handsome silver trow- ¢l to Grand Master Orrin 8. Henderson cn behalf of Santa Rosa Lodge No. 5, F. and A. M., was made by Superior Judge Albert G. Burmett. His address was an eloquent one and was listened to with marked attention. After the presentation Grand Master Henderson proceeded with the ceremonies of laying the corner-stone. At its com- pietion he delivered an address on fra-| which was an Intellectual treat. DISAPPEARANCE IN NAME OF CERTAIN RAILROADS That Have Been Lately Made. The extent of railroad consolidation in| this country in the last few years !s\ strikingly illustrated by the recently an- | nounced merger of the Rock Island and | St. Louis and San Francisco Interests. In | combination the two roads will constitute | a system of some 15,000 miles, and their | combined capital stock at the present fig- ure will be about $200,000,000. The terri- tery served by the system comprises more than a dozen States, the western termi- nal being Denver, the eastern Birming- ham, Ala., the northern, Chicago, and the southern Galveston, Not more than ten years ago there were cighty rallroads furnishing weekly com- pliations of earnings. To-day only filty- five roads publish such figures, so that twenty-five have disappeared. In a few cases this Is due to the abandonment of | reports, but in far the greater number the reason is found in consolidation. The roads that have disappeared were at one time big factors in the railroad world. Thelr names were on the tongues of investors and shippers day after day Now it is doubtful if some are even 2 memory so completely has their identity been merged In the systems of which they are a part. A partial list of such roads is of inter- est. It includes: The Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern; Burlington, Cedar Raplds and Northern; Chicago and Eastern Lllli- nois; Cineinnati, Jackson and Mackinaw, Cleveland, Lorain and Wheeling; Louiz- ville, Evansville and 8t. Louls; Peoria, Decatur and Evansville; Pittsburg and Western; Cleveland, Akron and Colum- bus; Cleveland, Canton and Southern; Kansas City, Fort Scott and Memphis; Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham: Memphis and Birmingham; Memphis and Charleston; St. Louis, Alton and Terre Haute; Western New York and Pennsyl- vania; Rio Grande Western; St. Paul and Duluth; Western Maryland; Mobile and Ohio, and Colorado Midland. There are, of course, many roads not mentioned in the list, but these alone account for some %000 miles of raflway. | To them should be added the Northern Pacific, the Burlington and the Great Northern, all now in the Northern Secur- In all there are to be in- cluded about 25,000 miles of roads, which have practically disappeared as indepen- dent concerns. All this has been brought about in loss than ten years.—New York Sun. e MINIATURE MODELS OF JERUSALEM'S TEMPLES GOVERNDR VIG5 DAKLAND HOME Finishes Inspection of Normal Schools of the State. Says Too Few Male Students Are Studying to Be Teachers. o s Oakland Office San Franciseo Call, 1118 Broadway, April 13. Governor George C. Pardee, accompa- nied by his wife, arrived from a tour of| the State normal schools this morning | and went to his Oakland home for a brief | stay. The old home hed been closed and locked since the Governor left for Sacra- | mento on the first of the present year| to assume theduties of the office to which the pecple had elected him. His children | sge still in Bacramento, which he has adopted as his home, as the constitution | directs, but he opened the old house and | will occupy it until he returns to Sac-| ramento during the latter part of this| week. The Governor will give the district about | the bay a little of his attentlon before | he goes back to the accumulated work at the Capitol. He will have a very busy day to-morrow. He will attend the meet- ing of the Grand Lodge of the A. O. U. W., to which he was elected a delegate from his Oakland lodge. In the after- ncon he will attend 4 meeting of the Yo- semite Commissioners to consult with them as to what should be done for the reception of the Presldent into the State park. In the evening there will be a ban- quet of the Second Artillery Regiment of the National Guard, which he will at- tend. After the closé of the Grand Lodge | of Workmen he will go to Sacramento and | take up a further investigation of the | State institutions. | Governor Pardee's trip through the south and over the normal school circuit made the State school officials and the ! trustees of these institutions open their | eyes. Never In the history of the State | has there been such a trip for work. In| the olden days a session of a few hours | was ample to lean away all of the work, | but-tn San Diego the trustees met all morning and then all afternoon, and as | Governor Pardee does not eat lunch, that | meant a sesston “during the noon hour. | Then the session lasted long into the night | and the next day there was more to do. | Some of the trustees said that they had‘ not met for as many hours during their | entire term as they had during this one | visit of Governor Pardee. This is what the Governor had to say about the State normal schools: The thing that most struck me about the nor- mal #chools -of the State was the lamentable lack of male students who are preparing for | positions as teachers. The number was very small, particularly as there s already a lack of | men in the executive positions in the school department of the State. The thing that we need most is more men as principals and the | heads of departments. With regard to his future plans Gov- ernor Pardee sald: 1 shall attend the meeting of the Grand Lodge of Workmen and several other events in San Francisco and then go back to Sacramento There s some work to be sttended to there, and when that is cieaned up 1 propose to con- tinue my examinations of the institutions of the State. 1 am undecided whether I shall first visit the prisons or the insane asylums, but one or the other will get the next attention, as it is my desire 1o personally Inspect every branch of the work of the State government. 1 have done nothing avout State appoint- merts, and have not yet decided upon the new State Board of Charitles and Correction. It | will take peculiar ability to fill that position. I am still casting about the State for proper men Then Governor Pardee went into con- sultation with Charles H. Spear, the new chairman of the State Board of Harbor Commissioners, over the affairs of the San Francisco water front as the new chairman had found them. Governor Pardee is establishing an en- tirely new standard of work for State officials and he Is proving a very glutton for labor. 4 | PAPYRUS CLUB PROVES UNIQUE ENTERTAINER | Classical Vaudeville Meets With Dis- | tinct Social as Well as Finan- cial Success. The Papyrus Club's classical vaudeville | entertainment last evening at Golden | Gate Hall proved a distinct socifal as well as financial success.- Nearly 1000 tickets | were sold and the hall was filled with | handsomely dressed representatives of so- ciety and club life. The decorations were military in character as a compliment to | the army officers and wives who assisted. | The programme opened with an overture | by Kramer's orchestra. “‘Bunkoed,” a | one-act play by William H. Clifford, re- celved its first presentation on any stage, and the young California playwright ma feel proud of his little comedy. The pla was well enacted and showed careful | preparation and an attention to detail quite unusual in performances given by | amateurs. Lieutenant H. S. Howland ! played the part of the young striving | artist with success, and W. P. Bucking- | ham made a great deal out of the char-| acter of James Maloney. The honors, | however, fell to Mrs. R. L. Bush, who | | made in the ma | Ethel Osborn, 21 EXPECT ENGLISH 10 CONGILIATE He Will Be Vice Presi- dent and Manager of Water Company. William G. Henshaw De- clines to Take Office of President. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, April 13. The official title of William D. English in his connection with the Contra Costa Water Company will be vice president and general manager. He will also hold & position on the direcfory of the com- pany, succeeding C. C. Bemis. Willlam J..Dingee will probably retain the momi- nal presidency, as William G. Henshaw | has insisted that his other interests will not permit him to assume any more work. This is the exact change that will be gement of the company at the annual meeting to-morrow. Willlam J. Dingee was very anxious that Mr. Henshaw should assume the presidency of the company as his succes- | sor, and while Mr. Henshaw had the mat- ter under serious consideration he gave his absolute refusal to-day. Mr. Dingee then consented that his name should again be used in that connection, provided he should be left absolutely clear of any labor and that his indefinite trip abroad sHould not be Interfered with. This will leave William D. out the policy of the company, 8 subject, of course, to the board of directors. While Mr. English is & man of varied attainments, his connection has been more with salt than with fresh water, and he Is not supposed to be an expert in pipe lines and gravel beds, so Arthur L. Adams will become not only the chiet engineer of the company, but will have charge of all construction, management, the employment of men and the practical working of the plant Upon the new vice president and gen- eral manager will fall the difficult and arduous duty of handling the policy and makiug the company once more popular in Oakland. That this is likely to prove a difficult task is recognized by the man- agement of the company and the people of Oakland as well. Mr. English is a man of known diplomacy and great polit ical ability, bu* he has a task that will tax all of his ability to the utmost. The people of Oakland have been aroused to a pitch fhat they have never before reached. The decision of Judge Hart, the manner in which he was im- ported Into this county and the actions of the Contra Costa Water Company in that suit are still too fresh in the minds of the people, and it is to overcome the feeling that has been thus aroused that Mr. English has been chosen. 1 will be it is yet too cuss, for it will not be until to-morrow that Mr. English will be made a director of the company. It will then require a meeting of the directors before he Is elected general manager and vice president, and it will not be until that time comes that he can discuss his new policy of popularity and coneclliation. Mr. English has not yet presented his resignation to the State Board of Har- bor Commissioners, of which he is now secretary, but will do so probably on Wednesday. He has intimated to the members of the board that his resigna- tion would shortly be forthcoming. e B VICTIMS OF ACCIDENT ARE ALL RECOVERING OAKLAND, April 13.—Alice Wilson. Charlotte Wilson and Margarette Fay, who were injured last night by their horse running away and dashing inte the Shasta express at Stege, are all better to day. The young ladies will remain at t! home of Mrs. Lynch at San Pablo, and will probably be able to return to Oak land to-morrow. No bones were broken, and beyond a few brulses they suffered more from fright than anything else. Their ese trom death or serlous injury was miraca- lous. —_——— Licensed to Marry.

But it can never be done unless we have undis- turbed possession of the yards. That is a plain business proposition. We must have a foundation to work on. We cannot build on sand. The Santa Fe has made very exten- sive purchases at that point and has laid out a very extensive plan of yard facilities. I do Certainly expect that the future will develop the transcontinental passenger business,. Replying to a query whether the yards would be used for freighting, Captain Payson said: We have 260 acres at Point Richmond and in my judgment our freight terminal will al- ways be at Point Richmond. N. S. Herby, J. Desmarais and A. Realy, propel owners and representa- tives of the North Oakland Improvement Club, made protest against the Sanw Fe's petition to close the streets.

Of these, the most notable are the Temple of Herod, the Church of Justinian, and the present Mosque of Omar. These models represent the work of the late Dr. Schick, a German archaeologist, who gave thirty-two vears' study to the buildings which occupied this historic spot during the last three thousand years. Be- fore building them he studied for years every writing, sacred and profane, that dealt upon the temples. No one living knows Jerusalem as he knew it. The models are of wood and made to a scale of one foot to every two hundred feet. They are in many pieces, to facilitate re- moval, and whep put together each modcl forms two quadrangles, each about nine feet long and five and one-half feet wi and some twenty inches high. The model of Solomon’s Temple, for instance, which attracts most attention, is eighteen feet long and nearly six wide. The great Temple of Solomon was de- stroyed by the Chaldeans, and after the captivity of the Jews a new one was bullt upon the same site by Herod, which fs known as Herod's Temple. It was fin- ished about thirty years before the birth of Christ. An Inspection of the two mod- els reveals a considerable difference in the design of the various buildings, Equally Intdresting is the model of the great Christian Church of St. Mary, bufit in the reign of the Emperor Justinian, and known as Justinian's Church.
