BERKXKELEY OAKLAND SEALS HER LIPS |STATE UNIVERSITY DECIDES AT LAST TO ESTABLISH PRACTICE DEPARTMENT Anna Ross Refuses to|Normal School Majority in Board of Education Hastens Such Action by Declaring That High School Teachers’ Certificates Shall No Longer Be Granted to Graduates — ERKELEY, July 13.—Now that the Normal School majority in the State Board of Education bas officially decreed that no more high school teachers’ cer- tificates shall be granted to the graduates of its old-time enemy, the University of California, unless the university incorpor- ates a practice department as part of the pedagogical curriculum, the university has begun to look around for a place to | establish such a department. As a matter of fact, the university authorities have been casting around for a place for some time. There is plenty of time, as the rule does not go into eftect until the year 1906, but President Wheeler 4 N A S S N7 7\ SOME OF THE EMINENT EDUCATORS WHO HAVE BEEN PROMI UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA AND THE STATE NORMAL SCHOOLS OVER THE ISSUING OF TEACHERS' CERTIFICATES TO GRADUATES OF THE FORMER. NT IN THE CO: EST BETWEEN THE S and his confreres are a good deal worried about it. The trouble is there seems to be no school available for the purpose. The university people hoped to get one of the schools of the Berkeley School Depart- ment, but Superintendent 8. D. Waterman frowned when it was suggested to him, 80 they withdrew temporarily to look around some more. If the university | authorities can prevail upon the Berkeley School Superintendent and the School Di- rectors to grant this privilege they will select the Dwight School. TWO GOOD REASONS. There are two good reasons why the Berkeley School Department does not want to give up one of its schools. One is that it will mean the dismissal of ten or twelve teachers in that school and there would certainly be an uproar over that proposition. The other is that the parents do not like the idea of their children be- ing practiced on by mere students and there would certainly be a great protest from that quarter. Having children taught by however, is not such a terrible thing, | after all. In places In this State where | there are normal schools the parents pre- fer to send their children to them, as they are supposed to receive more individual attention than in the ordinary public school. The teaching is all carried on un- der the supervision of capable instructors, s0 there would be no danger of half- hearted work: OLD-TIME RIVALRY. The university’s pedagogical department will be somewhat crippled next year by the absence of T. L. Heaton, who has re- signed to take a position as deputy Su- perintendent of Schools in San Francisco. Mr. Heaton gave the students what little Instruction in practice they did get, and as he is a very able educator he will be sadly missed. Professor Elmer E. Brown, | fledglings, head of the department, is highly es- teemed as an educator and his reputation is worldwide, but the instruction he gives is almost all theoretical. It is understood that some effort will be made to induce Mr. Heaton to remain and take charge of the proposed new practice department. 1 the university does not succeed in getting a practice school or retaining Mr. Heaton, it can blame it all to that anclent rivalry with the normal schools which culminated in a set of rules restricting the students and powers of each. With President Wheeler, Professor Elmer E. Brown, Irving Stringham, Frederick Slate, W. A. Merrill, A. F. Lange and K. C. Babcock on the university side and Frederic L. Burk, E. T. Plerce, C. C. Van Liew and 8. T. Black on the normal school side, educational interests may look upon an absorbing warfare, of which no man can foretell the end, for each is out for the humiliation and death of the other. @ ittt bt “ WARFIELD GETS LAND FROM FINIGAN ESTATE Lengthy Litigation Over Berkeley Lots Is Ended by Supreme Court Decision. OAKLAND, July 13.—General R. H. Warfield has eventually won his suit against M. F. Cochrane, assignee of the estate of Colonel P. A. Finigan of Berke- ley. A remittitur was received to-day from the Supreme Court reversing the de- cision of the lower court, from which Warfleld appealed The origin of the suit goes back to the summer of 1897. Lillian, Maud and Mary, the daughters of the colonel, spent the season at the Hotel Rafael and their bill was $300. About this time Finigan was forced to go through insolvency. The colonel deeded valuable lots to his daugh- ters and they in turn deeded them to Warfield in payment of his clatm. Coch- rane demanded the realty for the cred- itors and alleged that the transfer of the lots to a preferred creditor was illegal. His contention was sustained by the low- er court, but was reversed by the BSu- preme Court. —_———————— Marriage Licenses.

ATTEMPT TO FILL STOVE ENDS IN A DISASTER R. H. Simmons and His Wife Are Se- verely Burned by Explosion of Gasoline. OAKLAND, July 13.—R. H. Simmons of 705 East Fourteenth street, a Southern Pacific gateman, tried to fill a gasoline stove at noon to-day while it was stiil lighted. The attempt ended in the us- ual disaster, and Simmons was severely burned on the face and hands. There is a likelihood of his losing his evesight, as the flames burst directly into his face. Simmons’ wife saw the accident and in attempting to assist her husband was herself burned. Her clothes caught fire, but she saved herself by jumping into a barrel of water, The house was set afire by the explo- sion and the services of the fire depart- ment were required to put it out. —_———————— Minor Burglaries Reported. OAKLAND, July 13.—Burglaries have been reperted to the police as follows: 1. Pimental's residence, 254 Haven street, $25 stolen; Charles Marcovich’'s residence, 513 Eighth street, $12 and clothing taken. @ il @ be made the central point of distribution for the adornment of the public squares about the city. The Adamses purchased the hothouse two years ago from the A. K. P. Harmon estate, moved it to its present site, filled the mudhole that then marked the spot and created a beautiful two acres of plaza under the highest form of cultivation. The park is in grassy lawns, with a profusion of maple, poplar, birch, willow, bamboo, eucalyptus and palm trees planted in pleasing arrange- ment. In accepting the gift Mayor Olney said: “This is a beauty spot that the city can well afford to take. We need much more of this kind of thing in Oakland.” | vote of commuters | and 9 against removing the gates; GITIZENS POLL THE COMMUTERS Board of Trade Mem- bers Find Them Op- posed to Gates. Alamedans Will Hold Mass- Meeting to Discuss Franchises. S TR ALAMEDA, July 13.—According signed poll of the commuters who travel on the south side road of the Southern Pacific made this morning by members of the local Board of Trade, the com- muters stand as five to one in favor of having the raliroad company remove, if it will, the gates from Iits local trains and restore the old order of service, which permitted passengers to travel within the city limits without the pay- ment of fare. To-morrow morning the sentiment of the commuters on the north side road will be ascertained in the same manner and the result will be made known at the mass meeting of Alame- dans to be held in the evening in the City Hall under the management of the Board of Trade. wa It is for the purpose of obtaining a general expression of public opinion as to what the people of this city want from the Southern Pacific in exchange for two fifty-year franchises, for which the cor- poration has made application that the mass meeting has been called by the Board of Trade. DEMAND FREE TRAVEL. There has already been one public dis- cussion of the matter before the West End Improvement Club, at which a straw indicated that they were opposed to the retention of train gates at a ratio of five to one. Other concesstons, such as the replacing of two statfons on the south side road in their original locations, the improvement of the car service and the removal of the old single track on Railroad avenue west from Eighth street to Fifth street are demanded by some in exchange for the two franchises, but the privilege that concerns all residents and which was sus- pended by the Southern Pacific at the first of the present year, is that of free | travel. Local merchants claim that the city was built up under the free travel service and t its discontinuance is now working to the detriment of bus! interests. They are opposed to having the ity Trustces grant franchises to the Southern Pacific Company for more than five years and then only on condition that residents be again given the benefit of traveling locally without charge. Among those who canvassed the senti ment of the commuters on the gate ques- this morning were of tion Rosenthal President Henry T. F. the Board of Trade, Baird, y-treasurer of body, Herbert D. Clark, and Cha Fisher. Each commuter was requested to sign a petition for or against the res- toration of the train gates. Nearly all comptied with the request of the solici- tors, but some shied at placing them- selves on record. Rosenthal found 45 for Baird found % for and 4 against; Clark 75 for and 24 against, and Fisher 46 for and 18 against the removal of the gates. POLL IS AGAINST GATES. In speaking of the work of the solict tors, President Rosenthal said We aimed to get a correct and uninfluenced opinion from the south-side commuters with respect to the removal or retention of the gates on the local trains. Every commuter was politely asked to sign his name in the for or against column. There are two sides to the gate question and it was not our desire to go be he railroad management with any petition that would show but one side of the situation. ern Pacific The South- has made application for a re- newal of one franchise and for an original franchise for a road which the company has always operated without a franchise. The applications are before the City Trustees and | are for fifty years ea up to the people for The matter is now ettlement and it is of vital importance to the future of Alameda that it be settled rightly. This cannot be done attacking the Southern Pacific in any way. The proper way to reach a com- promise or adjustment is for the parties to both sides to meet and amicably arxue the question, permitting each side to tell what it wants and what it will give or concede. That is the reason the Board of Trade arranged the mass meeting for to-morrow night. We have no selected orator or exponents of our side of the matter. Everybody who desires to express himself one way or an accorded a considerate hearing. —_————— BUSINESS MEN WANT RAILROAD YARDS AWAY Petition Town Trustee Ferrier to Vote for Removal to South Berkeley. BERKELEY, July 13.—A hundred busi- ness men have signed a memorial ad- dressed to Town Trustee Francis Ferrier asking him to vote for the removal of the Southern Pacific railroad yards from North to South Berkeley. The petitions remind the trustee that the people of his district are unanimously in favor of send- ing the yards to South Berkeley. The railroad recently purchased the gore at Adeline street and Shattuck ave- nue for the yards, but when it asked for a franchise Trustee Ferrier refused to vote for it. Trustee Ferrier's ground of opposition is that the Southern Pacific Company seeks to block the lines of the Oakland Transit Company with its freight cars. ————— LAST TRIBUTE TO MEMORY OF LATE DANA HARMON Knights Templar and Members of Live Oak Lodge Attend the Funeral. OAKLAND, July 13.—The last rites of the Masonic fraternity were exemplified at the funeral of the late Dana Harmon, held this afternoon at 2 o'clock from the Masonic Temple.

Before the removal of the remains to the temple services were conducted at the late home of the deceased by the Rey. Dr. Maynard, formerly %pastor of St John’s Episcopal Church.

OAKLAND, July 13.—Charles Arnold, who is connected with the business de- partment of a San Francisco evening pa- per, was arrested to-day, together with his wife, upon a warrant sworn out by Mrs. Mary C. Robinson, the proprietress of a rooming-house, charging them with the theft of $2000 worth of diamonds. The evidence is circumstantial, Mrs. Robin- son claiming that the stones are gone and that Arnold and his wife were the only ones in the room just before she missed the gems. Bonds were given by the pro- prietor of the paper upon which Mr. Arnold is employed for the release of himself and wife. News AT AMEDA |ofrthe County of Alameda.
