Dodge of S. M. Dodge & Co. says: One only needs to peruse the records of the real estate business done during the last six months to see that the number of transactions has been greater than in the entire twelve months of many former years. Business has been better during this vacation than ever be- fore at the same time of the year. James S. Naismith says that this July has been equal to any July he has ever seen. While many people have been out of town, enough new ones have been in the market to keep him busy. Mr. Naismith can see no reason why there should be any falling off in busi- | ness during the rest of the year. He has made a number of loans during the last month, as weil as a number of good sales, one of which was of four fine flats on the north side of Twenty-fifth street, west of Grove, to Julius Weber of Auburn. Other sales were: Lot on | Miles avenue, to Mrs. S. Higgins; three |lots in South Berkeley, to B. Judge; house and lot on Twenty-second street, to A. Park; corner lot at West and Eighteenth streets, to I. Wollin. Mr. Naismith is now finishing for himself on the north side of Twenty- second street, east of Webster, four of the finest five-room flats yet built in Oakland. The rooms are extra large for flats and the entire arrangement is more on the style of a cottage in com- fort. Each flat has its own separate entrance, separate yard, basement and flower beds. Their situation between Webster street and the Harrison-street boulevard, that the city has been work- ing on for several months, and over- looking the lake, shows conclusively that our real estate men know where to locate for a good investment. —— OFFICERS OF OAKLAND ELKS TO CONFER DEGREE OAKLAND, July 31.—The officers of Oakland Lodge No. 171 of Elks will confer the initiatory degree upon twenty candidates for admission into Go7. evening, Angest S, T 8 penc y evening, August 5.

MONDAY, « NEWS OF THE COUNTY OF ALA MUCH PROPERTY |HER PRETTY SHOES LEAD DARING CHILD AFAR IN STRANGE WORLD| - Fired by Desire to Exhib it Her New Possessions to All Mankind, Little Edith Boeddiker Strays From Home and Meets Many a Surprising Adventure| Friend’ ——— BEGIN WORK ON NEW ROAD Contrutors Move Blg Appa- ratus -to Grade Boulevard Across Adams Point [ — Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1016 Broadway, July 31. The Webster Street and Park Elec- tric.Railroad is a certainty. Work will begin this week on the grading across | Adams Point for the boulevard through | which the line will be built. Early this morning the E. B..& A: L. Stone Com- pany, the contractors, began to move a sixty-five-ton steam shovel and equip- ment over temporary tracks from the steam railroad terminus at Thirteenth and Webster streets. The outfit will be taken to the Adams property under its own steam. Plans for the new electric road show that it will run along the fine boulevard | that will cut the Adams holdings north of Lake Merritt in half. The drive will begin at Boulevard terrace on the west, running a short distance northeast and then straight across the rolling land to a point where Pleasant Valley avenue touches the eastern boundary of the Adams property. The boulevard wili be 110 feet wide. This will allow ample room on each gide of the double stand- ard gauge tracks that will occupy the center of the thoroughfare. The boule- vard will be constructed on the modern lines of street making. When it is completed the new drive will form a connecting link between the west side of Lake Merritt and Pleasant Valley. It will also reach within easy distance of the proposed park site on the Sather tract, which runs along the eastern line of Pleasant Valley road. The new electric line will terminate at the east side for the present at the Pleasant Valley road. If the bonds are voted for the purchase of the Sather tract it is proposed to extend the line to the park entrance. In marking the lines of the boulevard the Adams people have taken the iden- tical course that would have been the northern limit of the sixty-two-acre tract they offered five years ago to sell to the city for a public park. At a spe- cial election the project was defeated by a small vote. The land includes nearly all of that which has been used as a golf links by the Oakland Golf | Club. The railroad company will press the work of construction rapidly. The pro- jectors hope that in sixty days they can begin tracklaying, and that before the winter rains come on cars will be in operation. In fixing the route for the Webster Street and Park Railroad the franchise | called for a line running through the heart of the business district, but that has been abandoned under an agree- ment with the Oakland Transit Consol- idated. Transfer privileges have been arranged, so that the new line will have its western terminus at Fourteenth street and Broadway. —_———— MONEY FOR LIBRARY IS COMING TO COAST HAYWARDS, July 31.—The money for the new Carnegie free library for this city is on the way to California from Andrew Carnegie and as soon as it arrives the machinery for begin- ning work upon the building will be set in motion. Mr. Carnegie was noti- fled a short time ago that a site for the building had been secured and that the city was waiting to receive the gift. Word came from his secre- tary to-day that the money would be forwarded at once. The Haywards library trustees sent Mr. Carnegie urflfled coples of -u ot the deeds and papers connected with the transaction. His reply was im- mediate. The trustees who have so successfully carried out this work are George A. Oakes, R. Reid, F. F. Allen, T. Russell and Charles Van Dyke. LITTLE BERKELEY GIRL WHO WANDERED AWAY FROM HOMBE AND WAS FOUND IN COUNTRY. | I :',‘4‘ -+ BERKELEY, July 31L—Edith Boed- | diker, 5 years of age, got a new pair of | shoes yesterday, and she wanted every- | body in the world to see them. She | thought that all the people in the world crossed the bay every day on the Key Route train, so she boarded the first one out of Berkeley station San Fran- cisco bound. The trip across the bay was eminent- ly satisfying to the small Miss Boed- diker's pardonable vanity. Everybody who cared to see,.and some who didn't, looked upon those new shoes on her lit- tle feet. The patent leather tips were | particularly astonishing to the natives, and a general invitation was extended to all to gaze upon their attractions. Even the buttons were something to {marvel over, and some passengers lost their breath in astonishment. Miss Boeddiker returned from the | city on the Southern Pacific train, hav- ing visions of new fields to conquer. The entire trip was spent in exhibiting those new shoes and explaining their shapeliness and texture and accoutre- ments. The wonder of it all ‘was that none of the passengers suspected that little Miss Boeddiker was a wanderer. Every- body reasoned that she belonged to somebody else. Conductors never | thought of asking for the fare, and the adventurous little maid succeeded in practicing a fraud upon two great cor- porations. | But Miss Boeddiker made a grave strategical mistake when she arrived in Berkeley again by getting off at the wrong station. Up to this point her de- signs against the railroads had worked out wonderfully well, but getting off at the wrong station upset all plans. She was completely bewildered when she found herself in unfamiliar surround- ings at Berryman station, in North Berkeley. She was still confident, how- ever, and did not cry or appeal to any- body for guidance. No; she struck out down the first road she came to, which she followed for two miles before any- thing hapvened. The happening was a | rallroad track in West Berkeley that she mistook for the Key Route track. This she set out to follow, but instead of coming toward Berkeley she went toward New York. After long walking the small pedes- trian found herself growing very tired. Soon she could go no farther. It was dark, too. So she lay down on the side of the road and went to sleep. And there she was found late in the eévening AUGUST 1, { fed "By potations’ of by a man who happened to be passing and who took her to his home and kept her all night. In the meantime the Boeddlker fam- ily had become almost distracted over the disappearance of the vain but pre- cocious pet of the household. They searched everywhere: they notified the police of the two cities and the police searched. But all the searching was of mno avail until the girl was returned to her home this morning by the man who had found her in slumber. He had waited until morning to tell the police of his find. The young traveler is very penitent this morning because she caused so much trouble, and promises- never to run away again until she gets another pair of shoes. The little lady is the daughter of G. C. Booddlnr of 2011 Bancroft way. k.. SIS Captain McKown Honored. LIVERMORE, July 31.—The mem- bers of Company I, N. G. C., presented their captain, J. A.

Mrs. Larsen's wardrobe had been hauled out of the closets and indis- criminately ripped to pieces or into the flames. ter bonnets and summer went the same road. Scott tore dainty creations into shreds and threw the pieces on the floor. Ribbons and | flounces in abundance. delights of my | toilet, were ripped into small And of his vandalism Scott had only to say: “I paid for this stuff and I guess I can do what I like with it.” That was not satisfactory to the po- lice, so they sent him to the City Prison. “I spent $2600 on that woman,” de- clared Scott, when he was arrested. “and this stuff is where some of .y money went. “If she wants to prosecute me, she can. I am willing to stand it.” The police sald Scott had called at the house late this afternoon, and had lounged around until he saw Mrs. Lar- sen depart in company with another man. Scott had been a friend of the woman's, and he became enraged to see her walking with the other man. As soon as she had disappeared Scott went to the rooms and started on his mission of destruction. ‘While he was engaged in the job the boy surprised him, but not before Scott had ruired all of Mrs. Larsen's effects.

Hls mother and his neighbors bear witness | to the inexplicable actions of the young man. He has been acting queerly for three months, and has not been the ro-| bust man of former years. His seems to be a case of kleptomania, developed from being injured on the head while playing football with his college team. There is no other way to account for his strange conduct. The things he stole were of little use to himself: thev | could not be sold and he has not at-| tempted to sell them. Sargent is the man the police have been watching for a week, because they suspected him of rdiding the house of Benjamin Dallerup of 1615 Prince street, where he has worked at odd hburs as a carpenter, earning meney to help | him through college. - So cunning were | his movements that it required the po- lice almost a week to find his home. ‘When Sargent was traced to 1625 Le- | roy avenue preparations were made to apprehend him and search his house. | The warrant was read to him while he worked in his garden yesterday after- | noon, Déeputy Marshals Howard and Pickett and Dallerup being present. | Search of the house revealed all of the | goods stolen from Dallerup, besides a number of things that must have be~ | longed to other people. | Among the articles recovered by Dal- | | lerup were three watches, a number of | | pieces of jewelry, one suit of clothes, a | | Knight Templar uniform and many other garments.

The stolen articles were all piled in | big dry goods boxes in the basement | of Sargent’'s house.

They searched the neighborhood for a while but not finding the prisoner, returned to tell Mrs. Sargent what had happened. “My boy would not have run away if the cfficers had not frightened him by their talk,” Mrs. Sargent said to-day. “They threatened him one time and placated him the next, and I've no doubt worked on his mind so that he ! lost his senses for the moment. The poor boy is not to blame for this. There is something wrong with him. T've | noticed it for a long time. He has been growing weaker all the time lately. I am sure he would not have disgraced himself if he had been sane. He was hurt in a football game once and I think this is the result of it. “When I saw him last night he con- fessed everything to me. ‘Mother,” he said, ‘T didn't mean to steal anything. Something forced me to do it. .1 must be crazy. 1If they will give me a show 1 will make myself one of Berkeley's most respected citizens.’ It is a great blow to me and I don’t know how it will all end.” Sargent has been a graduate student at the University of California since the beginning of the year, seeking a master’'s degree in the college of natur- al sciences. He was graduated from the University of Oregon last year, but had also attended Pullman College in ‘Wyoming and the University of Wash- ington. Through all his college career he earned his way, working as a car- penter and. miner. Upon coming to Berkeley he purchased out of his sav- ings the house at 1625 Leroy avenue. The upper part he rented, reserving the basement for the use of his mother and himself, though most of the time he lived alone because his mother was employed in San Francisco. His neigh- bors say he was a hard-working young man, who was always employed about his house. He is 25 years old. lot 1 and portion of lot 2, block 9, Curtis Tract, Berkeiey - $10.
