James Costello, an elevator man, liv- ing at 317 Florida street, claims to have | been the victim of two footpads at an ecarly hour yesterday morning, and he is nursing a sore jaw as a result of hlsl encounter with them. About 4 o'clock Costello met Pnllcfl- man T. F. Flood and informed him that he had been asaulted by two men on Tehama street, between Fourth and Fifth. He said they had asked him for a match, and while he was feeling in his pockets for one he was struck a vio- lent blow on the jaw, which laid him out. After he recovered he discovered that the two men had gone through his pockets and had taken $4 50, all the money he had. Costello was unable to give the officer any description of the two men, whom he said he had never seen before. He was sent to the Central Emergency Hospital, where he was treated for a contusion of the left jaw, and was then sent to his home. ————————— Cable Cars Collide.

TOPIC IS PLEASING. President Hogan paused at his desk— this interview and all others with of- ficers of the Boosters taking place dur- ing business hours and at business places—and after telephoning resumed with enthusiasm: “Now, when I talk about Oakland T am naturally pleased with the topie. So or manu- are all loyal Oaklanders. While we nat- | urally are satisfied with our natural advantages, which are great, we are also delighted when our claims receive such strong indorsement as they have been given during the last few years by great aggregations of capital from the outside. “We believe heartily that Oakland is on the right side of the bay for busi- ness. The Standard Oil Company has emphatically indorsed this view by lo- cating at Point Richmond a great and growing plant. The Santa Fe Railroad system has evidently the same view. It is now in Oakland. The Western Pa- cific Railroad and the Rick Island are morally sure to come through Oakland. 1 think that the Western Pacific will be rupnming its trains in within five ars on the overland business. “According to the last postoffice cen- sus, which approximates the real fact, of about §3,000 in round numbers. Land for home sites on this side of the bay is cheaper then it is in San Francisco, and the cli- mate and the size of lots make the eastern shore much more desirable as a place of residence. We have a com- peting ferry, and that is proving to be a great agency In attracting home site buyers. The Boosters are back of a! legitimate proposition. They will co- operate with the Oakland = Board of Trade, the Oakland Merchants’ Ex- change and with all other organizations and with every individual in Alameda County who entertains the same pur- pose of hoosting—first, last and all the tlme James P. Tavlor is the second vice president of the Boosters. He is also a solld business man. When he was asked what prospects Oakland has, he spoke from a point of view different from that of President Hogan, but his hopeful utterances were in the same strain and his be- lief was founded on equally sound considerations.

When Mr. Coplin was asked for some particulars about the form of organization that the Boosters have formally adopted, he produced the constitution and by-laws. From them some paragraphs are ta- ken for the use of any other commun- ity that may strive to emulate the ex- ample of the Oakland people. A few of the provisions are as follows: The object of the Oakland Boosters shall be to boost in every legitimate manner any- will _tend toward the development and betterment of Oakland. Also it shall be the duty of each member to use all legitimate means to counteract the effect of any ‘“knock- whenever he or she may Any man or woman who will sign the roll ciples contained in article II, of this consti- tution ehall be eligible for riembership. The duties of the president, first vice presi- dent, second vice.president, treasurer and sec retary shall be those that are commonly un- derstood as belonging to these offices under all parliamentary procedure. The dutles of the grand high Booster shall be to take charge of and be responsible for the active. boosting and entertainment of ti He shall have full power to us own diseretion in the matter of arranging o ‘special features of each meeting, shail | ppoint Ris own committees, formulate satis- | actory programmes, and If ‘his action be not | satisfactory to the assembled Boosters he may | be fined for dereliction of duty, as the club | decides. shall also be held responsible for the faithful performance of the duties of this committee. It is understood that the meetings of the | Oakland Boostess partake of a two-fold na- | tare—business features to be under the direc- | tion of the president, boosting features to be | in_sole charge of the grand high Booster. There shall be no regular dues paid by the members of the Oakland Boosters, and it shall be the duty of the finance committee, acting with the treasurer, to make a report when- | ever, in therr judgment, they think It neces- sary of any iIndebtedness of the organization, and to recommend their claim on which said indebtedness may be raised. There shall be a regular meeting of t! Boosters on the first Tuesday in each month. Other meetings shall be special, and shall be under the direction of the grand high Booster. ORIGIN OF BOOSTERS. The history of the Oakland Boosters | is very well known. The Oakland Board of Trade organized, with the Southern Pacific Company’s co-opera- tion, an excursion of 300 persons, who | started on February 8 to visit the southern part of California. Pasa- dena, Los Angeles, Riverside, Colton, Redlands, Pomona, Catalina Island and other points were viewed. 1 The Los Angeles Chamber of Com- merce extended its hospitality and everything that the southern counties was brought within easy observation of the observant tourists from Oak-|{ land. On the trip to Catalina Island | a rope committee was organized In a | spirit of fun. When the tourists re- turned to Oakland a meeting was called of the rope committee and from that meeting the organization of the formation of the Oakland Boosters has resulted. The call for the Oakland meeting of the rope committee was made on Feb- ruary 25 and the meeting was held on. March 4. the first of the Oakland meetings were | M. J. Keller, A. D. Coplin, W. E. Lo- gan, Hugh Hogan, J. Francis Smith, Philip M. Walsh, R. McMullen, F. L. Button, E. A. Bushell, James S. Nai- smith, C. J. Heeseman, W. W. Kergan, James P. Taylor, Walter B.

Alameda County is a place of charming homes and delightful home life. Its business, manufact- | uring and commercial future is very bright. There is noth- ing lacking in Alameda County to conduce to the happiness of the dwellers therein. Much that has been accomplished and much that is hoped for in material development looks to | the organizations of patriotic | “citizens for its origin. A fine work has been performed by the Oakland Board of Trade | and by the Oakland Merchants’' | Exchange. The Oakland Boost- | ers, the most.recent. body to be formed for progress in Oakland, has already gained prominence by reason of its aims and the | character and large number of Oaklanders who have become | connected with it. Alameda i and Berkeley and other com- | munities also have ganizations. | That the people of the State | may appreciate and understand how and why Alameda County is so rapidly forging ahead, it | 1s purposed by The Call to give, | on successive Monday morn- ings, for a period, accounts of | the methods of the aMliated | promotion bodies of the county. | This morning readers will read | | about the Boosters. Next Mon- | day morning the Oakland I | strong or- | Board of Trade will be de- seribed. On the following Mon- day the Oakiand Merchants’ Exchange will be given space. In turn the other organizations of the county will receive at- tention, the purpose being to assist in their efforts. L S ceived by the people of Oakland at large. Their present aim is to get be- hind the bond issue proposition, so the officers of the Boosters declare. “As soon as the City Council that matter in shape,” sald Grand High Booster Coplin, “the Boosters will back it. Bands will play, the Mc- Donough Theater will be occupied, bonfires will blaze in the stree Ac- cording to Mr. Coplin, the Boosters now have $00 members. San Francisco people who have kept in touch with the growth of the cities in Alameda County, especially, have been surprised. Alameda has organ- ized to continue the good work in that city. Berkeley is interested In form- ing a large organization and has al- ready taken the first step to secure joint action on the part of the several bodies that have heretofore especially represented districts or localities. ‘While the Boosters have been form- ing in Oakland, the older bodies—the Oakland Board of Trade and the Mer- chants’ Exchange—have continued on the lines in which they have been long engaged.
