OAKLAND, July 5.—The State Board of Equalization to-day gave Assessor Henry P. Dalton an extension until July 18 in which to finish his assessment rolls.

The first named institution took $500,000 worth and the | latter took the remainder of $460,000. | The bonds =old for par and the money | is to be paid as soon as the bonds can be issued. The Board of Education can | now begin the work | ojected for the general improvement of the public school system of the city. Much satisfaction is fcit over the fact that home concerns showed their con- fidence and ability to take the entire | | issue. There was a third bid-betore the | Board of Supervisors from E. H. Rol- lins & Sons of New York, who offered to take the bonds at par and pay a | premium of $7013 50. But the bid was conditioned upon the favorable report of | their attornevs that the proceedings were regular. This offer was not con- ! sidered in the light of a bid. It was 1‘ rejected and the check of $20,000 accom- he bid was ordered returned. The two home banks that were awarded the bonds made no conditions, The bonds were voted at a general elec- tion a few weeks ago held for this pur- pose, and are to bear 4 per cent inter- est. This money is to go for the pur- chase of school lands, for the erection of new school buildings and the en- | largement and renovation of old ones. It ie believed from estimates made prior to the calling of the election that with | the expediture of this sum the public second to none in the State. The Board of Education took offi- cial notice of the sale of the school bonds to-day, and at its meeting to- | night began at once to put into effect | the will of the people as expressed at the polls. It was decided that the Franklin School should be the first | to be built. This school was burned some time ago and the school facili- ties in that district are in a deplor- able condition. Director Isaacs was authorized to draw'up a notice to ar- chitects for plans for a school build- ing, containing from twenty to twen- ty-two rooms, to be constructed of brick and stone upon the site of the old building. Superintendent McClymonds was also authorized to ask real estate | agents to submit propositions for lsitel for the proposed new buildings to be erected according to specifica- tions set forth in the call for a school bond election. —_————— fi“’ORKMA.\' IS BURIED i IN A CAVING DITCH Matthew Ryan Is Caught by the Loose | Earth and His Body Badly 1 ‘Wrenched. | OAKLAND, July 5.—By the sudden caving in of a gas trench near Second |and_ Grove streets to-day Matthew Ryan, a laborer living at 1315 Fif- teenth street, was caught by the earth. | Before he could extricate himself he was buried nearly up to his shoulders.

Judson, a San Francisco car- grocer, doesn't mind being arrested, | €Xtinct animal have been found in the penter, dropped dead on a Piedmont but he declines to submit to humilia- tion. Because of attacks on his repu- tation he began suit to-day against Marshal Charles T. Kerns of Berkeley for $1000 compensation for his injured feelings. Carlson charges that Kerns, while arresting him for an alleged violation of the Berkeley license ordinance, called him a “square head.” This he deems a reflection on his native land of Sweden. He says Kerns emitted a string of other words that would have burned holes in a wet blanket. There has long been a lack of cor- diality between @arlson and the Town Marshal of Berktley. The feud grew out of Carlson's refusal to pay for a peddler’s license on the ground that it is an injustice. Kerns, acting accord- ing to his interpretation of the law, has arrested Carlson half a dozen times, but without effect. Garlson submitted to these arrests with complacency, but he certainly ob- jects to the Marshal's references to his nativitiy. He says that the last time Kern arrested him the Marshal called him “a square head,” swore that he (Kerns) was running the town of Berkeley and generally humiliated the gfocer so that he wants damages in the round sum named. ————— PLANNING COMMON WATER SUPPLY FOR BAY CITIES ©Oakland Council Invites Municipal Bodies of San Francisco, Berkeley and Alameda to Conference, OAKLAND, July 5. — Resolutions were adopted to-night by the City Council to arrange for a conference in this city on the subject of a joint municipal water ‘supply’ from the Sierra Nevahda Mountains for the cities of Oakland, Berkeley, Alameda and San Francisco. g Councilman Aitken, who introduced the resolutions, and Councilman Wal- lace said they had been assured by members of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors that a conference was desired by the board and that the Su- pervisors were investigating the mat- ter through a special committee, The resolutions call for the meeting to be held as early as possible.

OAKLAND, July 5.—The funeral of Mrs. Laura Albrecht, who died ur- day night, was held this mm:g&g.g at Mountain View Cemetery limestone caves of Shasta County by the scientists of the University of Cali- fornia. This time it is the skeleton of a large ungulate, ‘an animal resembling the present day mountain goat. It dif- fers in many respects from the modern beast, however, and has been named euceratherium, which in Greek means a beautiful horned wild beast. The specimen was found by Dr. B. L. Furlong of the paleontology depart- ment of the university in the Samwel Cave in Shasta County. The cave is situated on the east side of the Me- Cloud River, thirteen miles north of Baird, and is 355 feet above the river. Remains of the animal have also been found in the famous Potter Creek Cave, theé material consisting of broken horn cores, teeth and other elements. AS it now stands, the specimen con- sists of a cranium without the jaw, from which some of the parts are miss- ing. It lay on the surface of a deposit of ossiferous clay flooring a deep vault in the cave and was almost completely covered with crystalline stalagmite, In preparing the specimen Dr. Furlong and Dr. William J. Sinclair, who as- sisted him, had great difficulty in keep- ing it intact, owing to the chalky char- acter and extreme thinness of the bones of the skull. The nasals were restored with plaster. In a bulletin devoted to a description of this specimen Drs. r'urlong and Sin- clair, who collaborated in the work, say that the remains are of'a fully de- veloped animal, approximating in size a small cow and resembling the goat in the elongated facial region. The cra- nium fis larger than in the big horn sheep, while the horn cores are smaller and are situated much farther behind the orbits and differ greatly in form and curvature. In the opinfon of the scientists the animal belongs to a late subdivision of the quaternary, an age that is probably anywhere niore than a million years ©old. They agree that the age of the deposit in the Samwel.and Potter Creek caves is later qmaternary, except that the Potter Creek Cave is probably the oxder. —_—— WILL PRESENT REPORT ON ALAMEDA’'S EXHIBIT Commissioner Weilbye Is Returning From World's Fair—Movements of Other Citizens.

The passengers, of whom there were a number on the car at the time, became geatly excited when the unfortunate man suddenly pitched from his seat and fell to the floor. It was at first thought that he had fainted, and Con- ductor Woods, who was in charge of the car, attempted to revive him, but failled, and an examination -revealed the fact that Judson’s heart had ceased to beat. When the passengers learned that the man was dead, several of them at once left the car, preferring to walk or wait for another car rather than continue the trip to Oakland in com- pany with the corpse. When the car reached the corner of Fourteenth street and Broadway the body was carried to a drug store and a physician was called, but it was found that life was already extinct. The body was then removed to the Morgue. Judson was returning from work in Piedmont when he was stricken by death. The deceased was married and resided with his family at 573 Minna street, San Francisco. He was 56 years of age. It is supposed that death was caused by heart disease.

It is feared that the victims of the for- geries are people not in a position to lose their savings. o | TEXANS PROTEST AGAINST THE GUATEMALAN ANT Planter Secures Injunction Prevent- ing the Importation of Bug to Destroy Boll Weevil.
