General plans for a presen- veters of the city were arranged. These cover a central mass meeting to be| held at once and to ward and district meetings throughout the city under the direction of improve- | ment clubs and other organizations. Along the same line methods for reaching individual voters by a house- to-house canvass, the dissemination of | suitable literature, the opening of pro- posed park sites to public inspection, the co-operation of members of the City Council and the press at public [r.. etings and the raising of a cam- | paign fund were freely discussed.

MEANS MUCH TO OAKLAND. Edward Stearns, president of the Progress Federation, was chairman of the meeting. In opening the confer- ence, President Stearns sald: ““The carrying of these bonds means more to the city of Oakland than any of us can estimate. There is no .way to look at this issue but as one that will put Oakland to the fore front as| |a city of energy, progress and devel- opment. It means that it will place us where we belong in.the front rank of progressive communities of Califor- nia and of the Pacific Coast. To ac- complish this result we need to work, but I am gratified that the spirit is so strong for bonds now that we shall | | not have nearly so much to do as we | | should have had to accomplish a few weeks ago. Nevertheless, work and plenty of it is needed.” Chairman Stearns said that Council- man John L. Howard had prepared for | public use a valuable paper on the bonds, showing in minute detail their | effect” upon "municipal taxation. That paper will - be- read at the opening mass meeting, which will be held be- fore September 1. The federation cam- paign commjttee, composed of H. B. | Belden, chairman; J. C.

Samuels of San Francisco. The announcement of his approaching marriage will be received with, surprise by Mr. Crowell's many friends in Oakland, who had almost relegated him to the ranks of the con- firmed bachelor. His sudden change of front, however, is not surprising to those who know Miss Samuels, who is a charming girl, cultured and refined, whose natural cleverness has been en- hanced by travel here and abroad She is a daughter of Frederick S. Samuels, vice president of the Oceanic Steamship Company and confidential secretary to John D. Spreckels. The family is well known socially in San Francisco and this summer entertained several house parties® in "the family's country home, a very artistic bungalow in Carmel-by-the-Sea. Miss Samuels is a graduate of Mills College. Clarence Crowell is one of the clever- est young attorneys on this side of the bay. After graduating from the Oak- land High School he took the law course at the State University, and since his admission to the bar has risen steadily in his profession, being for two vears Assistant City Attorney,: and now one of the attorneys for the Pub- lic Administrator. He has also been prominent in municipal and political affairs and is at present chairmaniof the Republican County Central Com- mittee. Active in Masonic circles, he is also a popular Elk and member of the Nile Club, being a director of the latter organization. Although no date has been set for the wedding, it will take place before the end of the year at Miss Samuels’ home on Eddy street. Oakland will, of course, be the future home of Mr. and Mrs. Crowell, who *will be a decided acquisition to the local smart set. —_————— Mismated . Couples.

Total blindness is now the awful af- fliction that is added to the Infirmity of little Stella Terrill, aged 13 years and a deaf and dumb pupil at the State Institute for the Deaf and the Blind. The child is now desperately ill with a baffling affection of the eyes and the doctors in attendance hold out little hope for ultimate recovery. The disease manifested itself by a painful swelling that has obscured the vision and it-is against this growth that the physicians are fighting. Two nurses are constantly at the child's bedside and every human-aid has been called to help the stricken girl. The child’s home is in Oroville and she has been an inmate of the State institute for three years. Just before returning to the institute from her va- cation ten days ago the disease be- trayed its presence. She was brought to Berkeley and placed immediately under the care of Dr. Thomas C. Mc- Cleave, who, with other doctors, has been engaged in an unequal fight to arrest the advance of the disease. e ‘Would Reduce Taxation.

The heroines who chal- lenged the prowlers of the night and, fiight are Miss Estelle put them to | Hoffman, daughter of Mrs. Mary T. | Hoffman of 2230 Barrow street, and | Mrs. James Wilson, wife of a clerk in the Berkeley postoffice. Miss Holfman was awakened earl | this morning by an unusual sound com- ing from the lower floor of the house. Without entertaining any thought of danger she proceeded cautiously down- stairs to investigate. That she might meet a burglar on the way did not oc- cur to her, but she met one when she opened the kitchen door. There stood a man wearing a mask. There was plunder in his hands, and he was about to escape. As soon as he saw Miss Hoffman, however, he dropped his booty and ran out of the rear door. Miss Hoffman screamed and neighbors responded, but by that time the bur- glar had found a safe hiding place in the university grounds. Mrs. Wilson did not see the burglar that tried to get into her home on Uni- versity avenue, but he left enough “jimmy” marks behind to show that he meant business. Mrs. Wilson was with her children when she heard a rasping at the window. She lay still for fifteen minutes to be sure that there was really some one trying to get in. When the burglar’'s attempt to raise the win- dow finally confirmed her fears she raised such a scream that even the most intrepid burglar would have been put to flight, and this one ran for his life. Neighbors were aroused in time to see the fellow getting out of the yard, but it was then too late for pur- suit and there were no police around to help. —_———— NOTED GEOLOGIST TUMBLES OVER A MOUNTAIN CLIFF Dr. Harold W. Fairbanks Has Narrow ¥scape During Trip Through High Sierra. BERKELEY, Aug.:25.—Dr. Harold| W. Fairbanks, a graduate of the Uni- versity of California and author of a number of volumes on geology, came near sacrificing_his life to his thirst for geological knowledge in the high Sierra, from which he has just re- turned after a thousand-mile trip in the company of his ten-year-old daughter, Helena Fairbanks, and his cousin, Miss Mary Wellman. While on a precipitous “trail Dr. Fairbanks tried to readjust the lug- | gage on one of the pack animals, the result being that he was hurled down a cliff toward a chasm far below. If a friendly ledge had not arrested Dr. Fairbanks' flight he would cer- tainly have been killed. His injuries were severe enough, however, and it was some time after the fall before he fully regained consciousnss. Then it was discovered that he had a Jdeep laceration on the head and a number of other’ bruises that prevented a march for several day: —_—— RHEUMATISM DRIVES A YOUNG MAN TO SUICIDE Paul J.

Tuesday's unexpected rain played havoc at several interior county points. The lightning accompaniment killed a horse near Centerville, owned by M. Silva. The animal's body was found charred in a field. One hundred and fifty acres of hops at the Pleasanton Hop Yards, owned by Lilienthal & Co. of San Francisco, were laid flat by the rain. The grow- ing hops were so heavily weighted by the dampness that the strings support- ing the vines broke from the poles, leveling the hops and causing much mildew. Softening by rain of the ground upon which a large warehouse of the Hunt Bros. cannery at Haywards stood, caused the collapse of the floor, which was weighted with 50,000 to 75,000 cases of packed fruit. Thousands of cases of fruit were dumped into a mass of bent, broken and damaged tins. Until the mess has been cleared an estimate of damage cannot be made. The loss will | depend upon the condition in which the cang are found. _——————— SANITARY REDUCTION MEN DECIDE TO GO OUT ON STRIKE Street Railroad Employes Instructed to Treat Multitude of Coming Visitors With Politeness. A strike of short duration took place at the Sanitary Reduction Works at the foot of Fifth street yesterday. The trouble arose over the discharge of one of the men who had caused censiderable trouble to the manage- ment by his indifference to his work. As a consequence he was discharged, whereupon his fellows, fifteen in num- ber, quit work. Secretary A. Sbar- boro was informed of the strike and within a few hours he had other men to take the places of the strikers.
