The meeting was executive, no one being present éxcept the citv offi- cials and the directors of the associa- tion, and nothing of the proceedings was given cut until to-day, when the association made public an official sum- mary of what happened. i From this it would seem that there is | & general demand upon the Town Trus- tees for an increase in the tax allow- ance for all departments, and it is a question whose demands will be recog- nized by the Trustees. There were present of the association directors George W. Scott, Philip S. Teller, E. R. Anthony, Charles S. Neal and Elmer E. Johnson; algo Secretary Brown. Of the Trustees all were pres- : ent except Mr. Hammond, who is out of | town. Representing the Board of Edu- ction there were Presidents Otis, Henry Michaels and Dr. Thompson, principal of the Iigh School, who had been in- vited: also Superintendent Moore. E. W. Maslin represented the Free Li- brary Board. A summary of the reports upon the condition of the city, made by the city officials to the Advancement Associa- tion, is as follows: President Otis of the Board of Education reported that the High School would need | $17.024 this year, which would be more than & | i | year because of the need of another her. books and gymnasium apparatus. rincipal Thompson of the High School said that the needs of hig school for reference tooks, apparatus for laboratory work and gymnasium work were very great. Mr. Otis 1epcrted that there is mow a defielt of $4385 in the grammar school fund because of a cut of %4000 made last . that the city would have to supply $27,770 this vear and that fo salaries would be raised except in the case of e few principals and wale teachers In r to retain their services. r. Pond of the electric light committee of Board of Trustees read a report showing betterments were needed by the municipal ic lighting plant. President Scott of the association wanted to know if by economizing he other departments the electric lighting plant could not ‘be rTun and the betterments made mext year. This, the Trustees thought, might be done. The official statement of the associa- tion concludes with the following, which covers the apparent feeling of the association/upon the present finan- ctal condition of Alameda: During the discussion it developed that the levy last year was but 86 cents, which was 14 Cents short -of the dollar I A that the dollar limit ,would be reached this year it the requirements of the various de- partments - wera properly . An interesting point was the attitude of the City Trustees on the proposed raise. .of wages of certain employes, which, according to Trustee Bowers, would add about 3% cents to the ‘tax ‘levy, The discussion seemed in- clined to oppose the raise, they all seemed-to think it was impossible to give the. school department that it required. It appeared that no case had been known of a policeman or fire départment employe or clectric light employe resigning because of insufficient pay, and yet the school.department was unable to keep high-class teachers be- cause the pay was lower than they could get elsewhere. Mr. Scott asked this question: ““Taking into consideration the condition you are in this year, a condition which you say. of greater necessities than ever before, would you consider advisable the raising of the salarfes of employes that $5000 as proposed? Would you not consider it-a better Investment to give the school department what it needs and save on the other?” In answer to this pointed question not one of the Trustees seemed willing to commit him- self. So far v response was made to the ‘question It was to the effect that they did not see how they could give the school de- partment what was asked for and did not see how they could avold giving the city employes the raise which they asked for. e AGED SCHOOL TEACHER CHARGED WITH THEFT Man Who Has Passed Three Score Years and Ten Said to Have ~ Swindled. OAKLAND, Aug. 24.—T. H. Heer- mans, 74 years old, a school teacher, was arrested to-night by Constable J. T, Graver of Palo Alto and Detective W. B. Quigiey on a charge of obtalning $160 by false pretenses from John Lewis of the university town. Heermans, it is said, gave a due bill to Lewis for the mcney, buti induced the alleged victim to part with his coin on the statement that Heermans owned a large ranch in Southern California. Heermans was traced to Oakland, where he had sold a horse and buggy. Constable Graver returned to-night to Palo Alto with the aged prisoner. ———— To Help Social Settlement. BERKELEY, Aug. 24.—As a means of raising money to support the West Berkeley Soclal Settlement the man- agement has secured the services of a number of lecturers and entertainers in other ways for the fall months. Among these are Jacob Riis of New York, the philanithropist; Burton Holmes, the lecturer; David Bisphaia, th. famo barytone, and probably the Thi United States Infantry Band.

B2 Miss Mabel H. Barrows to Train Students * in “Ajax.” BERKELEY, Aug. 24—A love for the classic drama of the ancients and pronounced dramatic instincts have prompted Miss Mabel Hay Barrows to come all the way across the continent ‘from her home in New York to prepare the students of the University of Cali- fornia for the reproduction of “Ajax,” Sophocles’ famous work, in the Greek language at the Greek open air theater at the university. In thus following cut the dictates of her tastes and tal- ents she has undertaken a tremendous task, a task that will ecall for two months of incessant work. For re- ward Miss Barrows asks only success, such success as came to her with the presentation of “Ajax” in two Easternu cities. In attempting “Ajax" 1n California Miss Barraws wjll depart in one very important particular from the manner of the Eastern productions. In the Bast natives of Greece were trained for the dramatis - personae, here students will take part in the play. This will have been the first time that students in America have attempted to play “Ajax,” the only other instance in which students were employed being at Cambridge University in 1882, The play will not be produced In the original Greek language. it has been found that the modern language is adapted more to the singing parts than the old, and it has been used with suc- cess in the Kastern productions. Training for the play will begin at once, with Miss Barrows as instructor, and by October it is hoped that “Ajax"” will be ready for the stage. Miss Barrows has come to Berkeley with her mother, Mrs. Elizabeth C. Barrows, who is herself a writer and critic of unusual talents. Miss Bai- rows has been interested in the dram- atization of classic dramas since her high school days. She has dramatized various episodes in' the Aeneid and the Odyssey. She only lately returned front Europe, where she spent a large part of her time studying old Greek vases for the costuming and dances of the ancients, so that the representa- tions in America may be faithful copies in at least one respect.

Woodworth Holds Out Little Hope for California Growers LABOR COSTS TOO MUCH Entomological Department of University Seeking a Way to Reduce Expense Berkeley Office San Francisco Call. 2148 Center Street, Aug. 24 Silk culture in California never has been profitable and can never be made profitable, because labor costs more here than it does in other countries where the silk industry 1s eonducted with profit. This is the secret of the failure of so many attempts to establish gilk culture in California. The climate is good enough, the worms thrive on it and grow fat, but it costs so much to un- wind what they spin into a cocoon that there is no money In it for the grower. The failure of silk culture as a profit- able industry is explained in this way by Professor C. W. Woodworth. pro- fessor of entomology at the University of California, in a bulletin issued at the university to-day. The high cost of labor, he finds, does not apply so much to the actual rearing of the worms as to the manufacturing pro- cess, called reeling, by which the silk is taken from the cocoons and made into the product known as raw silk. “There would be no difficulty in ob- taining skilled Orientals,” Professor ‘Woodworth says, “but they would de- mand higher wages than in their na- tive land for the same work. This difference must be taken from the price that is pald for cocoons, since raw silk is imported duty free. “Many people have gone into silk raising with exaggerated ideas as to the profits of the business, when as a matter of fact one cannot expect fair wages for his work. Under favorable conditions one could expect to obtain about a hundred pounds of fresh co- coons, or perhaps thirty-three pounds dried ready for shipment from an ounce of eggs. These are worth be- tween $25 or $30. One person cannot ex- pect to care for more than two ounces of eggs. This would Mequire six weeks’ work and after deducting the cost of the plant there is little left for wages.” Professor Woodworth adds that his department Is experimenting with silk culture in a small way in the hope that the labor item might in some manner be reduced enough to make the indus- try profitable, but with no prospect of immediate results. ——————————— DECIDE TO UNITE WITH OAK CHAPEL CONGREGATION Members of Plymouth-Avenue Church, Lacking a Pastor, Determine on Consolidation. OAKLAND, Aug. 24—By a vote of twenty-seven to eight, the members of the Plymouth-avenue Congregational Church, of which Charles Wayland Hoag, who eloped with Mrs. W. N. Benedict, was formerly pastor, de- cided to-night to unite with the Oak Chapel Congregational Church of Pied- mont. A motion to unite with the Fourth Congregational Church was lost by a vote of twenty-eight to nine and a motion to secure a new pastor and continue as in the past was also lost. It was suggested that the denomina- tion of the church be changed and that a union be effected with the Presbyte- rian Mission at Telegraph avenue and Twenty-fifth street, but a motion to that effect was not seconded. It re- quired two ballots to carry the motion to unite with Oak Chapel Church. The motion was put early in the evening and was lost, but after other sugges- tions had been considered the motion was again made and was carried. The officers of the church have decid- ed that the property on which the pres- ent church stands shall be sold and that the new church shall be located at or near the corner of Piedmont and Moss avenue: —————— YACHTSMEN ARE UPSET IN WATERS OF THE BAY Loiterer Turns Turtle and Its Two Occupants Narrowly Escape Drowning. . BERKELEY, Aug. 24.—In the en- deavor to sail the yacht Loiterer across the bay to Tiburon last Sunday after- noon F. A. Klarman and O. F.

SUTTER CREEK, Aug. 24—Three men were killed and ‘another injured by a premature explosion of giant pow- der in the Argonaut mine, near Jack- son, this morning. Several drill holes were loaded for blasting when one, because of a defective piece of fuse, went off prematurely. The dead: M. QUINN of Jackson. A. SCOTALENO of Sutter Creek. W. J. CURNOW of Sutter Creek. Curnow and Quinn leave families. A young man named William Jew- ell was injured, although not very seriously. The four men named were sinking the shaft 2240 feet under- ground and, having prepared several drill holes for blasting, they proceeded to light the fuse. It happened that the mining company had recently pro- cured some new fuse from Denver and although it had been tested it proved treacherous. It burned up quickly and discharged one of the blasts before the men had time to get to a safe place. The men were almost buried in the rock loosened by the first ex- plosion and the other explosions of the loaded holes which immediately fol- lowed completely covered them. Scotalena’s head was badly mashed, while Quinn had one leg shot off be- low the knee. Curnow was buried deep in the debris and his body was badly bruised in several places. As soon as the catastrophe became known about the mine Foreman Fran- ces put all the underground men in the bottom of the shaft and kept them working their utmost, a few minutes at a time, to recover the bodies. The explosion occurred-at about 11:30 in the morning, but it was neariy 3 o'clock in the afternoon before the re- mains of the unfortunate men were brought to the surface. ————— AT POLICEMAN, WOUNDS A WOMAN l SHOOTS While Resisting Arrest, John Saulters Attempts to Kill Officer Robert Connor.

Connor dodged and grappled with the man, while the woman dropped to the floor. In re- sponse to Connor’s whistle Policeman J. F. Lycett arrived.

Saulters came here a few months ago from Old Mexico, where he had been employed as a telegrapher. He lived at 111 Grant avenue for some months and there became acquainted with Miss Mays. His peculiar actions caused the landlady eject him and since that time he has been living on Fourth street. He was arrested be- fore on Tuesday night by Connor for being drunk and disorderly in the woman’'s apartments. He is held at the Cit- Prison on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon and Detective Ryan is working on the case.
