THE SA FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, JUNE 25, 1504. - «NEWS OF THE COUNTY OF ALAMEDA?® CALIFORNIA HALL WILL ADD BEAUTY WANT T0 INITE THREE CITIES Advancement Association Discusses Consolidation of J the Trans-Bay Towns| ALAMEDA MAN OBJECTS (alls Oakland a Corrupt Mu- | nicipality and Declares Op-| position to the Proposal| e 1 | | \ Oakland Office S8an/Francisco Call 1016 Broadway, June 24. The consolidation ef Oakland, Ala- mweda and Berkeley and the taxation of | Alameda County were the subjects of an intcesting discuseion before the Alameda County Advancement Asso- ciation at a meeting held in California | Hall last night. The assembly first| listened to Professor L. D. Inskeep, who read a paper on the taxation. He ! was followed by Mayor Warren Olney. Attorney C. E. Snook, Brainerd C Brown of Alameda, Rufus B. Jennings of the California Promotion Committee and Talicsin Evans ! Mayor Olpey declared that he in-| d@nsed Professor Inskeep’s position thoroughly, and then, taking up that part of it relating the amount of | duplicate work done by different city | governments and the amount of money | thus spent, said Possibly some of you know that I am a crank upon this subject of con- solidation. I believe in it. If there are| thuse here to-night who oppose con- lidation I will tell you now that you ay as well get out of the way, for it | is bound to come, There is too much | waste of money and so much unneces- sary work that economy will not put up with USELESS EXPENDITURE, | The three cities of Alameda, Berke- | Jev and Oakland contributed $121,000 last year for money expended where they got only an indirect benefit from it. Besides this we give our cities a bad name for having a high tax rgte Our taxes in this city amount to within & fraction of 2% per cent and you can only get 3% per cent for the money you have on deposit in the bank.” Attorney nook followed in much the same strain. He thought the ke: note of the situation had been struc in the proposal to consolidate the city governments of Alameda, Berkeley | and Oakland. Three city governments were kept going where one was needed. He defended to some extent the money expended by the cities for the improvements of the roads within the counties, as he believed that they derived some benefit from them. OPPOSES CONSOLIDATION. Brainerd C. Brown of Alameda ws pot in favor of consolidation, for meant it to be swallowed up in a gov- ernment which he said was notorious- 1y corrupt. “Some one,’ he declared, “had re- marked that ‘Ev people has a go ernment as good as it deserves. When the rank and file do not care and take no interest they can expect Just what they get. We of Alameda ! would sooner pay a little more and keep our schools and our streets un- der our own control than be taken into a government where we would have little or nothing to say as to what should be done with our money. When Oakland can come to us with clean hands we shall be ready to join with her. 1 believe what Mayor Olney has said and I think that he stands for all that good and pure in government, and if city and county affairs could be run as he wishes to have them 1| would not fear to join with him.” —_—— HOLD AUCTION SALE OF HOME OAKLAND, June 24—To open up a large and attractively located property to persons of moderate means who de- gire home sites is the purpose of an auc- tion sale that will be held Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock on the land bounded by Shattuck avenue and Sixty- fifth and Sixty-sixth streets.

Merriam of University to V iti the Museums of Europe! Berkeley Office San Francisco Call, | 2148 Center Street, June 24. In order to confirm his belief that | the fossil remains of a great lizard- | like animal found in the limestone beds | of Idaho a year ago is of an entirely | new kind, Professor John . Merriam | of the paleontology department of | the University of California has gone to Europe to study the types of the | same order of animal in the museums there. A report to President Wheeler published at the university outlines the plans Professor Merriam will pursue in his researches to discover the an- cestry of this strange animal. Professor Merriam is going to Eu- rope particularly to look into the his- tory of the animal. This gives some idea of its importance to paleontologi- cal science. It is undoubtedly one of a new serles of prehistoric animals that roamed the earth ages ago and long before the surface became settled into its present land and water divi- sions, It is a marine type, and the discovery of its remains in Idaho is proof that the seas washed the land of that State millions of years ago, be- fore voleanic eruptions changed the character of the whole country. If the animal lived in these days it would be called a sea lizard. Its scien- tific name is thallattosauris. It differs | but slightly from the ichthyosamrus, which is another of the marine type of the prehistoric animal, resembling the fish lizard. And while it is difficult for any but scientists to distinguish between the two, there is really a great difference that is important to sclence and that is why Professor Merriam is taking such pains to study the history of itz companions of a millicn years ! ago now lying under glass cases in European museums. Professor Merriam will publish a bul- | letin descriptive of this animal upon his return from Europe. ——— TAKE AN OUTING IN SANTA CRUZ MOUN WILL Members of St. Francis de Sales Par- ish Will Hold Annual Picnic at Sunse: Park.

John Galen Howard, the architect, has con- trived a building after the Italian re- naissance—ornate, stately and withal strikingly picturesque. In drawing his plans Mr. Howard has provided for something that will seem distinctly Cal- ifornian—the tiled roof, so closely con- nected with the architectural history of the State since its beginning with the Spanish missions. The architect has shaped this work of art, too, so that it will conform to the plans for the great- er university and provide a structure as practical and substantial as it will be beautiful. i Steel and stone are to be cut and welded into shape in the making of this building. The work has already begun and will go on until next January, by which time the contractors hope to give the university the completed California Hall. There will be a basement and two stories to the structure and its foundations will cover an area 200 by 70 feet. On the first floor there will be twelve classrooms and one large lecture-room with a seating capacity of 400 people. The entrances will be in the middle of the east and north sides of the build- ing, with marble staircases leading from them to the second floor. The second floor will contain the of- fices of the university, California Halll is to be the administrative bullding. There will be apartments for the presi- dent, the recorder, the faculty, the sec- retary, the medical examiner, the di- rector of university extension ard the deans. California Hall is to cost $250,000, a sum that was provided in a special ap- propriation by the last Legislature. It is designed to take the place of historic North Hall. It will occupy the slope just In front of North Hall, near the tennig court and overlooking the cam- pus. z ——————— Resigns From High School. BERKELEY, June 24—W. H.

Alexander McCloud of the firm of McCloud & Niehaus, San Francisco, building contractors, has disappeared from his home at Cedar street and Shattuck avenue, leaving a family of three suffering in destitution. Since Saturday last McCloud has been among the vast army of the missing. His anxious and careworn wife still believes him innocent of any design to set her adrift and prays for his re- turn while she sells the household fur- niture to buy food for herself and two young girls. She holds to the belief that he is either a victim of foul play or of dementia. McCloud has had a series of busi- ness troubles lately that might sup- port the theory of mental aberration. His reverses have reduced him from a man once prosperous to one barely able to eke out a living. Under the pressure of these tribulations he be- came troubled in mind and his wife observed that he manifested this de- cline in various ways. “My husband has acted so strangely of late that I feared something like this would happen to him,” said Mrs. McCloud to-day. “I think his business troubles must have affected his mind. He kept saying that he wanted to go away from this neighborhood. Once he talked of going to Mexico and may- be he has done so. “Mr. McCloud was compelled to turn over his business to his partner some time ago when reverses came upon him. But he engaged in busi- ness again with Ernest Niehaus and seemed to be getting along well until a week or so before he disappeared. Then he began to talk queerly. From that time until he disappeared he did not seem to be the same man. T can- not help but fear that he has been foully dealt with or wandered away somewhere.” Mrs. McCloud and her daughters, whose ages are 12 and 14 years re- spectively, are in sad need of money. They have been compelled to dispose of all ‘their unnecessary property and to assist their slender purse by taking boarders. e PROHIBITION EDITOR FORFEITS HIS Fails to Appear in the Police Court to Answer to a Charge of Drunkenness. OAKLAND, June 24.—Wiley J. Phil- lips, editor of the California Voice and a delegate to the National Prohibition Convention, of which party the Voice is the State organ, forfeited $6 bail in the Police Court to-day on a charge of drunkenness. Phillibs was arrested by Policeman Mulgrew at Tenth and ‘Washington streets in a condition de- scribed by the patrolman as *“glorious- ly full.” At police headquarters Phillips pro- claimed his identity and exhibited cre- dentials which verified his statements. Nevertheless he was cast into a cell, from which the estray editor was re- leased after he had regained his senses. 3 Much inquiry was made for Phil- lips, but -he had gone, it is expected, on an overland train headed eastward. He told the police he had been BAIL drugged. Phillips gave his address as [ old.

There is a tide in the affairs of step- children that leads to the saving of | money if seized at the flood—and Judge Greene has just rendered a decision that illustrates the fact. If Mrs. Catherine M. Sperry had been the recognized stepdaughter of the late | Captain Daniel E. Martin for ten full Years preceding his death she would ! not have been required to-day to pay $500 inheritance taxes. Her brother, | Alfred G. Mitchler, will be compelled | to pay $250 because of the same law. Mrs. Sperry inherited $10,000 and her brother inherited $5000 from their step- | father. On these inheritances the, State will now collect 5 per cent. Mrs. was just three days tardy in getting within the ten year clause of the law. The act exempts inheritances from taxation in cases where step- children have been recognized as such for a decennium. . Miss Marie L. Mitchler, a sister of 000, was recognized as a stepdaughter so she es- capes the tax of $1000 that wouid other- wise be due in her case. Captain Mar- tin and the mother of the children had been married just ten years and one month at the time of his death. Judge Greene held that recognition and mar- riage were nct synonymous in this sense and it immediately threw the question open to the exact_date when each child had been “recognized” as such by Martin. Miss Marie L. Mitchler was at home with her mother at the time of the marriage. Her time began to count from the first day and was exempt from taxation. Mrs. Sperry was in England when the marriage took place. As Captain and Mrs. Martin left almost immedi- ately for Europe she met them at Liv- erpocl very shortly afterward. When it came to fixing the dates, however, recollection only served and the Judge held that the rieetihg occurred “three days too late to come within the time limit. Alfred Mitchler, the brother, went to live at the Martin home with his sis- | ter, but did not meet his mother and | father until their return from Eu- rope. — e HAV -GOEWAY CONTEST IS AMICABLY The Trouble Over Probating the Will of Deceased Wife and Sister Compromised. OAKLAND June 24—The agreement between John W. Havens and Charies, Frank, James and Herbert Goeway of San Francisco to compromise the con- test over the will of the late Gertrude Goeway Havens was carried out to- day by the filing of the necessary pa- pers with the court and getting the consent of the Probate Judge. By the terms of the compact Havens turns over to his brothers-in-law £2000 in cash, a diamond pin that formerly belonged to their mother, confirmis an expenditure of $650 by the brotheis for the expenses of the estate, and agrces to pay a $1600 assessment levied oy the company against the stock of his de- ceased wife. On their part they agree to withdraw their opposition to the probating of their sister's las: will and surrender to Havens, for the ben- efit of the infant son and heir ot the late Mrs. Havens, property valued at about §30,000. ——— Milton Blake’s Third Trial.
