Abpr 1eported to City nperintendent of Schools J. W. McClymonds show that there is a » of between 400 and 500 pupils. The enrollment of new pupils, those beginning their school work, has not reached more than one-half of the num- ber which the School Department of- ficials estimated would be registered. This is due, they believe, to the fact that the children have not been vac- cinated. Under direction from the State Board of Health the Board of Education or- dered a strict adherence to the vaccina- tion law. According to Superintendent McClymonds there was nothing else to be done. The only leeway that can be given is to grant an extension of time to pupils who shall be reported as not in physical condition to be vaccinated. With respect to such s the certifi- cate of a reputable physician must be presented. In all cases where showing of indi- gence is made the city health authori- ties have vaccinated free of charge. Ap- plications for such treatment can be made at the offices of the Board of Ed- | ucation. Principals of schools, under instruc- tions, refused to admit any pupil to-day who had not the proper certificate. | Parents’ protests were heard, but in| jces. view of the law they availed nothing.

Luce said that he intended to con- tinue his trip through the central coast section down as far as San Luis Obispo for the purpose of gathering information on the proposed new rates to be established giving terminal rates out from all intermediate points. ——— MASTERSON IS FREED ON FORGERY CHARGE LOS ANGELES, Aug. 8 — The two charges of forgery against E. F. Mas- terson, who is charged, together with his partners, Taylor and Christy, with defrauding the Continental Building and Loan Association of San Francisco out of about $80,000, has been dis- missed. Masterson was extradited from Ger- many on these charges, but he turned State’s evidence against his partners and was released on that account.

Professor Fryer has entree to the inner circles of Chi- nese life and had a good chance to ob- serve the conduct of the Chinese to- ward the belligerents and to exchange views with them. Speaking of his ex- periences, Professor Fryer said: The feeling among the Chinese is solid for the Japanese, though it does not always ap- pear on the surface. The Chineso regard the Japanese us their friends. They expect bet- ter treatment from them than from the Rus- sians. They think the Russians won't stop at anything If' they win in this war. The Japanese are considered peaceable and reason- able and more likely to be content with a little than Russia. 1 don't belleve the Chinese have any idea that the Japanese will try to incorporate Manchuria into their own territories. And it the Japanese win, _the Chinese expect them to help in reorganizing their army and enlightening the masses. The officials among the Chinese are, of course, maintaining neutrality. but at the same time their sympathies are with the Japanese. — e CHEVALIER COMPANY WANTS THE BIG PRIZE San Diego’s Crack Organization of Pythians Will Compete at Louisville, SAN DIEGO, Aug. 8.—To-morrow morning the members of Chevalier Company No. 6, Uniform Rank Knights of Pythias, will leave for Louisville, Ky., where they will repre- sent California in the competition drill for prizes, the best prize offered being $1500 in cash. Chevalier Company already holds the prize for the best drilled company in the State and was second only to the Victor (Colo.) company in the contest for the best drilled company in the country. These honors were won at San Fran- cisco two years ago. There is likely to be more competition at Louisville than there was at San Francisco, but Captain Spillman and his men do not fear numbers. ————— TWELVE-YEAR-OLD BOY STRANGLED TO DEATH Tad Goes to the Basement for Oats and Meets Death in.a Peculiar Way. STOCKTON, Aug. 8.—Johnny Jack, 12 years old, hanged himself yesterday at the home of his parents on the French Camp toll road, about three miles south of Stockton. The Cor- oner’'s jury brought in a verdict of ac- cidental hanging. The boy was of a cheerful, healthy disposition and had laid plans for the future. He went to the basement to get some grain for his horse and a few minutes later was found dead, a noose used for holding up a saddle being about his neck. His feet were still on the floor, and the Coroner gave it as his opinion that the boy, in reaching into the bin for oats, accidentally got his head in the noose, slipped and was strangled. - ———— s TYE SENT TO STOCKTON.—Oa] kland, Aug. 8—Charlie Tye. the local lightweight 'prize- m, was sent o Stockton Insane Asylum E . {1 ximate figures DA 0 - MEDICO CATCHES FATAL DISEASE FROM PATIENT| | 1 | - — DR.

In administering to the patient the medico contracted ery- pelas from an accidental abrasion on his hand. Unmindful of the danger, Dr. Payne did nothing to counteract | effects until blood poisoning set {in and then it was too late. Dr. H. N. Kowell, his friend and associate, was |called in to treat him and later Dr. | Winslow Anderson of San Francisco, | and, with the help of the patient and his wife, a stubborn battle for life was | begun. But the disease was master | there and soon it got its grip upon his | heart, so that then there was no more | hope. Life ebbed away just before dawn this morning. Dr. Payne began practicing medi- cine in Berkeley twenty-seven years |ago. 1In all that time he never forgot | his duty and no man or woman, rich | or poor, ever called in vain upon him | for aid. In spite of a body that was | rot robust, in spite of accidents that had crippled him cruelly, he was de- | votion itself to his profession. | _Dr. Payne was interested in other | things. City and county politics at- | tracted him and he was a member of a number of clubs and secret orders. He served as a member of the Board of Health and was Health Officer for the town until his term expired in February last.

TACOMA, Aug. 8—Five young fel- lows left Grays Harbor to-day for a 1000-mile cruise in a thirty-six-foot sloop. The names of the boys are: Dadner Pratch, captain and owner of the vessel; Oswald Bell, Geégrge Brown, Carl Wilson and Frank Welder. The boat in which they aré to make their advanture is the Restless, a two- masted sloop.

It is the most ex- | tensive work of the kind ever at- tempted in this county and an esti- | mate of the cost made by Prather places it at $301,000. The purpose is to construct a mag- nificent driveway, connecting Oakland and Haywards. The proposed road is splendid view of the surrounding coun- try. The work of acquiring the right of way has been going on for several months and is now completed. The surveyor’s plans cover the minutest details of the work, showing about 150 profile drawings of culverts and bridges of various sizes, all of which are to be constructed of masonry of | the most enduring character. | Objections to moving a fence by the heirs of C. S. King and Margaret Wat- son, made before the Supervisors to-‘ day, delayed the work of opening a | road from San Lorenzo to connect with the main San Leandro and Haywards | road. The heirs want pay for thd land and also ask the Supervisors to pay for the rebuilding of the fences. Super- visor Talcott, in whose district the proposed road lies, was not ready to agree to this, and the matter was put | over.

CHARGE ANGERS SCHO0L BOARD Directors Resent Allegation of Favoritism Made by a San Francisco Architect | St Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1016 Broadway, Aug. 8. Henry A. Schulze, representing the San Francisco Chapter of American | Architects, tilted with the Board of Education to-night over the adoplion! of a notice to architects for plans for the proposed new school | buildings. Schulze opened the scrap | b¥ repeating what he said was street talk—namely, that it was epenly as- serted that the winning architect could be named now and that a type- written copy of instructions to archi- tects had beep in the hands of San Francisco architects before they had been made public. Schulze wanted the board to confer with a commit- tee from the architects, to extend the time for submitting plans to October 30 and to order all,plans to be filed anonymously. Directors Hardy and Hathaway and President Wilcox resented what they declared were aspersions on the board’s integrity. The Directors voted down the Schulze suggestion touching anonymous plans. September 30 was | the date fixed for submission of plans. The call to architects includes the fol- lowing new brick or brick and stone buildings and additions: . A twenty-two-room building for the Franklin School, to face Ninth avenue, and cost $145,000; twenty-two-room building for the Lincoln School, to face Alice street, and cost $145,000; twenty-two-room building for the Prescott School, to face Campbell street, cost $145,000; six to eight room building for the Grove-street School, to face Grove street, cost $28,000; eight to ten room addition to the north side of the Lafayette School, cost $38,000; fourteen to sixteen room addition to the Grant School, to face Broadway, cost $81,000; new building, nine or ten rooms, with allowance for addifion to make twenty-two rooms, on the new site at Market and Thirty- ninth strets, cost $72,000; new build- ing, nine or ten rooms, with allowance for addition to twenty-two rooms, new site on Shattuck avenue, adjoining Bushrod Park, cost $72,000. A premium of 1 per cent above architects’ fees and cost of superyision will be awarded the successful archi- tects.

Addresses on Subjects of Intervest to the City i Ry CONSOLIDATION PROJECT | 4 | | | | LAY Secretary Stearns of the: Oakland Board of Trade Explains Body’s Attitude S5 e T ALAMEDA, Aug. 8.—Matters con- cerning the welfare of this city and Alameda County were discussed at a weil-attended meeting of the Alameda Advancement Association, held in the City Hall to-night. In the absence of the president of the organization, George W. Scott, Vice President Philip S. Teller officiated. The principal speakers were Edwin M. Stearns, sec- retary of the Oakland Board of Trade, and Rev. Frank S. Brush, pastor of the First Presbyterian Churen, who re- turned last week from an extensive Rufus P. Jennings, secretary of the California Promotion Committee, was scheduled to deliver an address, but was unable to be present. He was represented by H. A. Wright, whoebriefly related what that body was doing toward advertis- ing California. Stearns, in the course of his talk, said: I am pleased at observing so many present and at the interest manifested in affairs that should appeal to the civic pride of _all Unanimanity of purpose and action is what brings results in the promotion of the welfare of a community. This' portion of California is now becoming imbued with civie pride which has made Mmous and prosperous. land, Berkeley, Alameda and the entire county. 1 will take advantage of this opportunity to put myself right with the residents of Alameda | as to my attitude and the attitude of the Oak- i land Board of Trade with respect to the project of comsolidation of the cities on the east side of the bay. Nine y Oakland Board of Trade took up the ation proposition and, after carefully gating it, decided that the time for - dation was not ripe. The Oakland Board of Trade has considered the matter again of late and it is my opinion and the general senti- | ment of the members of that organization that the time for consolidation is not yet ripe. When we of Oakland can offer to Alameda as good streets, schools, government and other ad- | vantages that you now possess superior to ue. | then it will be time for us to suggest to Ala meda that she join Oakland. It appears, ough, that the day of annexation is a long way in the future, but I believe that the time will come when there will exist the city and | county of Alameda. Rev. Mr. Brush, in his address, said, in part: The relative advantages of Alameda over many of the Eastern cities that I visited within the last two months are numerous. Wea have one of the cleanest and best governed municipalities in the United States. One thing | that impressed me on my recent trip East was the commercial value which residents of East- ern cities place on beauty. Nearly every city, | town and village has a civic organization that boosts its interests, Alameda is to the Pacifie | Coast what Atlantic City is to the Alhn!!/“ Coast. The great Eastern resort has the most equitable climate on that side of the con- tinent, as Alameda has on this side. —_————— HUNTSMAN'S BULLET LAYS LOW “OLD MIKE" Big Deer That for Years Laughed at Sportsmen at Last Meets | His Fate. | BOULDER CREEK, Aug. 8.—A huge | buck that has for the last five years | defied the efforts of the hunters here | and from the adjoining counties of | San Mateo and Santa Clara has at last fallen. Many times he has been chased in the different counties,- his | trail plainly marked by the large track. | At last it became a common belief that | s “Old Mike,” as he was called, bore a | charmed life and was doomed to die of old age. Time and again he has fought and killed the dogs that were following on | the trail, and the sight of “Old Mike's" | tracks was enough to cause any owner | of dogs to call them off. To-day his | 'end came, though he put up a game | fight. Five bullets from the rifle of | Cleve Maddocks brought him down. He | dressed 175 pounds.

SAN BERNARDINO, Aug. 8.—The | Justices of the Peace, Constables and | other officers of the county of San Ber- | nardino will henceforth be paid on a| salary basis, Judge Benjamin F. Bled- | soe of the Superior Court having ren- | dered a decision to that effect to-day | in the suit of L. C.

The suit was tried before a local Jus- tice of the Peace, where it was decided against the plaintiff, who took it to| the Superior Court on appeal. The de- cision is based on a recent opinion of the Supreme Court in the suit of Tucker vs. Barnum, taken from Fresno Coun- ty, which was similar in issue, ——— WILL ELECT SUCCESSOR TO DEPOSED COUNCILMAN Citizens of Los Angeles Prepare a New Petition Under the “Recall” Law.
