Grimes says that as near as he can figure the robbers got $75 from him, and he thinks they probably h)o_k about $25 from the other three men in the store.

DELAYS SANTA FE INALGURAL Manager Wells Says Opera- tions in Oakland Will Not Begin Until May 15 —e Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, April 10. Opening of the Santa Fe railroad operations in Oakland has been post- poned to May 15. The long continued wet weather so seriously interfered with construction work at the new de- pot and yards that the delay is nec- essary. May 1 was originally selected at a time when it was thought every- thing would be in readiness. With fair weather the remainder of this month ana up to the date in May which has been selected for the ' for- mal opening of business, the Santa Fe people think there will be no difficulty in getting things into shape for the | handling of freight and passenger traf- fic. This delay will give the committee in charge of the projected celebration over the entrance of the first Santa Fe train into Oakland two weeks longer in which to complete its programme. General Manager A. G. Wells of the Santa Fe has sent out official notifica- tion of the sclection of the later date to the chairman of the celebration committee, M. J. Keller, and to J. J. Warner, the Santa Fe commercial agent in this city. General Manager Wells said he regretted the delay, but it was unavoidable. ————————— Company A Social and Dance.

The Choral Society of the University of California, an organization of wo- men students, entertained a great crowd of people this afternoon in the Greek open air theater. It was the usual half hour of Sunday music and not even the heat thai poured down into the pit was fierce enough to keep the people away. It is estimated that there were 4500 visitors there, more than half of them evidently from San Francisco, for every train brought hundreds who went directly to the theater. The forty or more co-eds held the middle of the great Greek stage. They wore dresses of white duck and looked very becoming. This being the first concert in the theater ™y the choral society some of the members were nervous at first uhder the scrutiny of those 4500 eyes, but this wore off after a while and the voices rang out strong and clear.

HUNTING TRIP ENDS 1 DEATH John Valtali Loses His Life Through Careless Playing With "a Loaded Firearm Berkeley Office San Francisco Call, 2148 Center Street, April 10. A rifle in the hands of two careless boys played the usual role in the foot- hills of Contra Costa County this after- noon, just across the line from Ala- meda County. John Valtali, aged 14 years, insisted upon scuffling with his friend, Edward Lauritano, aged 16, while the latter held the rifle in his hands, with the result that the wea- pon was discharged and inflicted a mor- tal wound upon Valtali. The bullet entered the boy's breast, pierced his heart and emerged from the back, death following half an hour afterward. The accident occurred at 1 o'clock. The boys had met with no success in their hunting and sat down to rest. They decided to amuse themselves by shooting at a demijohn. Lauritano prepared to take the first shot and al- ready had the weapon almed, when his companion told him to get farther back. Lauritano complied, but a second time: Valtali caught him and dragged him back. Lauritano was still willing to comply and had just turned, when his foot slipped on the hillside and the rifle went off. Valtali cried out that he was shot aud fell to the ground. His friend thought he was joking at first and laughed at him, but he soon saw that it was Lo joke. He tried to comfort the boy and begged that he might not die, ‘but it was too late. A half hour later Valtali breathed his last. The accident was observed by Frank Scribner, who was walking in the hills, and he secured a buggy and had the body taken to the Berkeley Morgue. Scribner confirms every detall of Lau- ritano’s story and says it was purely an accident. The two boys were residents of San Franelsco. Valtali lived with his ep- father and mother at 809 Broadway and was apprenticed to a horseshoer, Lau- ritano lives with his parents at 5 Pres- cctt court and is a machinis As the shooting took place in Contra Costa County, the inquest will be held by Coroner Curry of that county 1 |ing up to RAISE NONEY FOR BUILDING Congregational Church of Alameda Secures Nearly “ROCKS” Reyv. Dr. Hiteheock, the Pas- tor, Presents an Unique Plan of Securing Funds SRR ALAMEDA, April 10.—Twenty-five thousand dollars was subscribed to-day toward the building fund of the $35,- 000 house of worship to be erected by the First Congregational Church. this amount $22,530 was contributed at the morning services and the remain- der at the evening exercises. It was the largest church subscription ever recorded in a single day in the history of Alameda, and the pastor of the First Congregational Church, Rev. L. Potter Hitcheock, and the trustees are highly pleased with the moral and financial support given the project, to the pro- motion of which théy have devoted their undivided energy for two years. To-day's munificent cash offerings mean that it will be but a short time before the corner-stone will be laid. Dr. Hitchcock’s method of acknowl- MEMBERS BUY edging the subscriptions as rapidly as: they were made was a novel and strik- | ing one. Near the pulpit he had rest- ing on an easel a 6x4-foot picture, rep- resenting a pile of rocks. bore on its tace values running from $75 to $5000. When a rock was pur- chased with a contribution it was re- moved, and as the pile became smaller there was disclosed behind the rocks a | perspective of the proposed new thome for the congregation. When the con- tributors ceased buying rocks this| evening the pile looked as if ‘it had been blasted with dynamite. There is | not much of it left, and what remains |can be secured cheap, as the higher- priced rocks have all been disposed of. Before soliciting donations Dr. Hitchcock delivered an address lead- the point and the pile of He said in part: Bible the other day. I came across a secret by which we make our dream of a new church possible. This secret leaked out in a meeting of the trustees two months ago and your pastor wrote down the unani- mous bellef of the board. If this secret be manifest among the people, then we will build the church. I have felt that it would be wrong for me to withhold the secret, and so, even if I incur the displeasure of the board of trustees, I am going to divulge that secret.

Among them were the citadel of Cairo, built to ambition: the pyramids, typifying death; the coliseum, standing for passion and pleasure: the Louvre in Paris, the home of art; the Claus Spreckels build- ing in San Francisco, typifying busi- ness, and the new church for his con- gregation, representing a fitting home for the Christ.
