HE WANTS PLACE Declares He Is Out for the Office Held by Con- gressman Victor Metealf ———— LUKENS WILL NOT TALK The Committee Will Meet To-Day to Decide Upon the Convention and Primary - Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1016 ‘Broadway, June 26. The meeting of the Republican Con- lgreflsi'mal Committee of the Third Dis- ! trict occurs to-morrow afternoon in this State Senator J. R. Knowland to- day officially announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination for Con- gress to succeed Victor H. Metcalf. The Congressman goes East to-morrow to begin his duties as Secretary of the De- partment of Commerce and Labor. Senator Knowland's statement is very brief and confines itself merely to the announcement of his candidacy, and reads: “Now that Congressman Metcalf has publicly announced his acceptance of the portfolio made vacant by the resig- | nation of Secretary Cortelyou, I feel free to declare myself a candidate for the Republican nomination for Con- gress in this district.” By common consent or by authority of the owners, it seems that all of the names that have been mentioned as possible successors to Congressman Metcalf have been sifted down to two— State Senator J. R. Knowland and | State Senator G. R. Lukens. When Sen- ator Lukens was asked if he had any statement to make in regard to the use of his name in connection with the Re- publican nomination in this district, he replied that he had nothing to say be- fore the meeting of the committee to- morrow. RURAL PRIMARIES. There has been some talk to the ef- |fect that should the Congressional Committee decide to appoint delegates outside of the cities of the district, the Supervisors would be asked to call ar- bitrary primaries in thé rural districts and that partitions to this effect were already in circulation. Such petitions |are not in circulation, however, and 1 Mr. Lukens and his most ardent friends say that they know of no such docu- | ments. The meeting of this committee is called for to-morrow afternoon in the | courtroom of Justice Quinn at the cor- ner of Eighth street and Broadway. 1t is expected that the committee will issue a call for the convention that will nominate a Congressman for the Third District, apportion the delegates and provide for the primary. The conven- tion will probably” consist' of 96 or 98 delegates, according to the basis of apportionment; this means that 48 will constitute a majority. Of this number 36 will come from the rural districts outside of the cities of Oakland, Ala- meda, Berkeley and Vallejo, where the primary law is mandatory. The com- mittee holds it in its power to appoint these 36 delegates and upon this hinges the only question that has arisen over the convention. The candidate favored by these delgates will have little trouble securing the additional dozen that will insure his election, KNOWLAND LEADS. The general opinion is that these ap- pointed delegates will be for Knowland, who is favored by Congressman Met- | calf. If this is done Knowland's nom- ination is assured, though what move will be made by the friends of Senator Lukens is not announced. In case an appeal is made to the Su- | pervisors to force a primary in all dis- tricts it would be necessary to have the boards of not only Alameda Coun- ty, but Contra Costa and Solano as well, make a call for such an election. It is generally belleved that the Ala- meda County Supervisors are opposed to such a primary and J. M. Stow of Contra Costa County, who is both Con- gressional Committeeman and Super- visor of his county, absolutely controls the situation in that section and will oppose rural primaries. There are no data in Oakland upon which to base any opinion as to the position of the Solano board. It is very unlikely that any appeal will be made to this author- ty. e POLICE ORDERED TO f DO PISTOL PRACTICE Ranges Built Near Webster-Street Drawbridge, Where Men Will Learn to Shoot. OAKLAND, June 26.—Compulsory pistol practice in the police depart- ment will begin Tuesday at the new ranges, which have been built on the Alameda shore of the estuary, near the Webster-street drawbridge. The men will be divided into four shooting squads, in command respectively of Captain W. J. Petersen, Captain A. Wilson, Sergeant Charles Clark and Sergeant Frank Lynch. The ranges are 50, 100 and 150 feet. This is the first time in the history of the department that official attention has been given to pistol practice. For some time even practice in rifle target shooting has been omitted. The Board of Police and Fire Commissioners di- rected that the men learn to use their pistols, and to that end the ranges have been constructed ——————— PRIEST CELEBRATES HIS INITIAL MASS The Rev. Francis V. Long, an Oak- land Boy, Officiates at St. Pat- i rick’s Church. 2 OAKLAND, June 26.—The Rev. Fran- cis V. Long, son of Mr. and Mrs. James Long, 952 Willow street, this morning celebrated his first mass after ordina- i tion. The services were held at St, Patrick’s Church. Those who assisted at the mass were the Rev. Willlam Fleming, the Rev. John Powers and the Rev. John Harrington, schoolmates of Father Long. The Rev. J. B.

Summer school at the University of California begins to-morrow morning. In anticipation of the opening intend- ing students have been arriving at every station in Berkeley to-day. The new arrivals are expected to swell the number of students applying for ad- mission to the school by at least 200. As there were 676 applications on file at the hour of closing the recorder’s office yesterday, indications are that about 900 people will be attending the session before registration closes. The number was expected to reach 1000, but the St. Louis Fair has drawn many people away from the State. Registration will go on between the hours of 8:30 and 3 o'clock daily, so that late comers may be accommo- dated. The first function of the session wili be the general assembly of faculty and students at 4 p. m. in Hearst Hall Addresses on the significance of the summer school will be delivered by Professor H.

Profressor Stan- ley of the University of Michigan will give courses in the theory and practice of music. One of the teatures of the work will be the organization of a mixed chorus, trained by Professor Stanley. A call will be issued early next week for those who desire to enroll as members of the chorus, which is ex- pected to give one or two concerts in the Greek Theater before the sum- mer session. A bulletin giving com- plete information in regard to this course will be issued from the record- er’s office on Tuesday. A new arrangement will be made in classifying the students in attendance at the summer school. Instead of all students being on an equality as here- tofore they will be separated under three distinct heads, as teachers, un-| dergraduates and graduates and au- ditors. lives of three persons, an elderly wom- an and two girls, yesterday afternoon at Sixteenth-street depot. The two fell off a Berkeley local train and were being drawn under the wheels by the suction from the moving cars when Valentine, one of a number of startled bystanders, rushed to the rescue. At imminent peril to himself the old soldier jumped into the group of pros- trate children and their older com- panion and with almost superhuman strength dragged them, one after an- other, out of harm’s way. Valentine narrowly escaped being caught by the train, but he backed away after sav- ing the helpless people and suffered no injury. The veteran modestly hastened away from the scene as soon as the rescued ones were on their feet and did not even wait to hear the grateful thanks of the woman. He boarded a street car for uptown and left the identity of the trio a blank. Valentine had gone to the baggage- room at the north end of the station and was returning to the street car terminus at the other end just as a westbound Berkeley local steamed into the stopping place. As one car passed Valentine he was horrified to see a girl fall from the car steps, sprawling helplessly on her back, so close to the wheels that her dress was fluttering from the air current stirred by the car'’s motion. Quickly Valentine jumped to the prostrate child and grabbed her. v As he did a second figure plunged from the car. It was that of a woman. S8he was followed by a third, a girl. The rescuer clutched at both of them and a strong pull saved the two just as the first one had been so quick- .y drawn out of danger. The train ran two car lengths after the three had fallen, giving ample op- portunity for the crushing of all of the victims hal not Valentine acted as he did. It appeared that as the first child fell the woman lost her bal- ance in trying to save it, and, dragging the other girl with her, followed the first one. Neither of the three was more than bruised and shaken by the fall. Men at the station who witnessed the rescue were strong in their praise of the daring deed. Valentine, who re- sides at 514 Fast Fifteenth street, was unwilling to say much about his heroic e MANY ITALIAN CHILDREN RECEIVE THEIR DIPLOMAS Pupils of the Lafayette School Hold Interesting Graduation Exercises Before Large Audience. oL The Italian colony had a big time last He deprecated the idea of heroism, | night over the graduation of 265 b oy SRR Italian-American pupils attending the was an t it anw the Arat £ el and ) o om, | Lafayette School, Filbert and K;‘;.Tr’é streets.

SUMMER SCHOOL [FIRST AUCTION [§ A SUCCESS Realty Bond and Finance Company Sells Oakland Property Under Hammer GOOD PRICES REALIZED P Hamilton Hall, an Old His- torie Landmark, Purchased by Christopher Maher Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1016 Broadway, June 26. The first auction sale of real estate which has taken place in Oakland for a number of years was held yesterday by the Realty, Bonds and Finance Company at the corner of Sixty-fifth street and Shattuck avenue. Seven- teen lots were disposed of and the prices received mark the sale as the success of the present year. The lots sold were all in the immediate neigh- borhood and the prices paid ranged from $250 to $650. The auction began early in the afternoon and a large crowd attended the sale. The bidding was brisk and in some cases went up in jumps of $100 at a time. Following are the purchasers of the various lots and the prices paid for the, property: Lot 1, Dantel Korteen, $605. Lot 2, north- cast corner of Sixty-sixth street and Shattuck avenue, Theodore Swift $650. Lots 3 and 4, Mrs. R. H. Tepper, each. Lot 5, D, L. Stelle, §275. Lot 6, D. R. McNelll, $275. Lots 7 and’ 8.

Hamilton Hall, an old land- mark of Oakland, which is located at the corner of Thirteenth and Jefferson | streets. The property was purchased by Christopher Maher, a capitalist of this city, who resides at 562 Eighth street. The deeds were signed by Jewett C. Gilson and Carrie G. Gilson, who have owned the property for eighteen years. The purchase price is understood to have begn about| $40,000. Hamilton Hall has a frontage of 100 feet on Thirteenth street and 105 feet on Jefferson street. The old build- ing has been closely connected with the history of this city for thirty years, it having been occupied by the Oakland High School, a normal school and churches of several denomina- tions. It is at present the home of the First Christian Church of Oak- land. PLANS ARE UNKNOWN. The purchaser has not vet made any statement as to his plans, but it is expected that the old structure will soon be torn down to make room for a modern business block. Harry G. Willlams, who recently purchased the building at the corner of Nineteenth street and Telegraph avenue, which for many used as a brewery, is renovating the structure, which, when the improve- ments are completed, will be gsed as a hotel building. Williams intends to add a third story to the building, the two upper floors of which will be used for the hotel, while the ground floor will be devoted to stores. ACTIVE FRUITVALE. The Board of Trade of Fruitvale has inaugurated a campaign for the general improvement of Fruitvale, and among other things the board will make an earnest endeavor to induce the Contra Costa Water Company to lay larger water mains in the thickly populated parts of the district in order that Fruitvale may be furnished with a more adequate water supply in case of fire. The Board of Trade has also voted to use every effort to secure the establishment of a bank. e — PERSONALS. James D. Schuyler of Los Angeles is at the Palace. H. E. C.
