B 11 1l ; . | — - BERKELEY, Aug. 28.—Willis R. tional work in China for the past two has returned to resume his studies at the University of California. | Peck has been connected with the edu- | cational movement in Northern China and speaks with enthusiasm of the pro- gress that is being made under the di- rection of the English and American tutors. He was tutor for a year to the son of Yuan Shih Kai, the viceroy of the province of Chili. This district is known as the “metropolitan province,” and it is here that, the greatest edu- cational advance is being made. The province comprises the cities of Peking and Tientsin. After tutoring the vicero son for a year, Peck joined the faculty of one of the colleges of the province as an | structor in English. He was engaged in this work up to the time of his re- turn to America. The prosressive edu- | cational system in Chili is due movement in now being developed | largely to the reform China Viceroy Yuan Shih Kai is co-operating with the for- eigners in the establishment of schools. e was also the friend of the whites during the Boxer trouble.

The c s, of course, are not up to the standard of American universities, but they serve their purpose well. They give instruction in such branches as electrical engineering. One of these colleges was organized by an American . D. Tenney. It is largely that these institutions flourish. “Many believe that it would not be comfortable for foreigners in Chili if the protection of Viceroy Kai was| withdrawn. On several occasions he has proved the friend of the English and Americans. During the Boxer | troubles he saved the lives of many foreigners. “The vicerov's son is a man of 28 years.

The American Magnesite Company has made official statement of its plans, H. C. Stillwell, vice president and Pa- cific Coast agent, and C. H. Spinks, su- perintendent, appearing before the Board of Supervisors to discuss the subject. These plans are exactly as have been outlined in The Ca.l, the two officials merely giving further pub- licity in support of a petition to have the road no building up the Aroyo Mocho from Livermore completed as soon as possible. . The officials told the Board of Su- pervisors that if it would complete the road to the southern county line of Alameda County that the American Magnesite Company would have the miles from the county line to their mines completed in time to have the two sections join. They told the board that they expected to have their factories up and in operation in less than six months, that their mines would be ready to ship ore in that pe- riod, that inside of two weeks a gang of men would be put to work opening up the mines, surveying their section of the road, and by the time the county | section of the road was finished and their factories in Oakland up they would be ready to ship magnesite for the supply of the world. Acting upon these statements, the board agreed to advertise for bids for | the completion of the road, which has already been surveyed, and bids will be submitted inside of three weeks. C. H. Spinks, the superintendent the new mines, said to-day: We are absolutely ready to go ahead with tne development of the largest magnesite property in the United States and the largest in the world outside of Greece. In six months we will be ready to compete with the product from Groece in the markets of the United States We can put up our factorles in three of ‘months; but, as we cannot get our roads com- pleted and our mines open ready to ship ore = of six months, we will not begin con- cetion upon the buildings in Oakland for about three months. Work on the mine will begin in two weeks. We told the Super- visors to telegraph to Chicago at our expense and find out the financial responsibility of the men back cf this. We have no stock for sale. LIVELY DOINGS 1T THE BEACH Unusual Number of People Sustain Severe Accidents While Enjoying Holiday —_— Accidents seemed to be the order of the day at the beach and park yester- day.” In fact, for a quiet, peaceful Sunday performance it was the record- breaker. There were four accidents of a serious nature, besides others of minor importance. The principal eve: . v-as the runaway of a pair of magnificent black thor« oughbreds, driven by John A. Clover, the manager of the New Home Sewing Machine Company, which resulted in Clover being thrown from his buggy and badly hurt about the head. Clover, who {8 prominent in the order of Knights Templar, was trying the horses with the idea of buying one with which to take part in the coming parade of the Knights. He will be lucky now if he is able to drive in a hack during the approaching festivi- ties. He hed just driven over the bridge that is the approach to the beach drive, when an automobile came dashing down from the Cliff House at the rate of forty miles an hour. Clover’s horses, which had been brought up in the quiet blue grass fields of Kentucky, had never been introduced to flylng motor cars. They gave a look at the car, then a snort, and then made a wild break for the briny deep. The only thing that stopped them from go- ing into the ocean was the thick growth of chaparral that lines the west- ern side of the drive. As they dashed into this R. O. Osborn, Clover's com- panion, rolled out on one side of the vehicle, and as he did so the buggy was CITY IMPROVES MANY STREETS Extensive Repairs Being Made on Thoroughfares in All Parts of Oakland WILL OPEN BOULEVARD Broad Driveway Ts to Be Constructed Around Up- per End of Lake Merritt Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1016 Broadway, Aug. 28. Work of improving and repairing the streets of this city is being pressed and there is now in progress street work that will aggregate more than a mil- licn of dollars. Among the most im- portant of these improvements are the repaving of Telegraph avenue, the con- struction of a wide boulevard, a mile in length, across the Adams Tract; the repaving of Twenty-third avenue, from Railroad avenue to Twenty-second street, and the filling in of Commerce street, from Twelfth to Twenty-first street. The work on Telegraph avenue is (rapidly nearing completion, and it is expected that it will be finished by th: last of September. The Telegraph ave- nue extension of the Thirty-sixth street storm sewer is practically completed and only three blocks of the work on Thirty-sixth street remains to be fin- ished. The entire sewer will be fin- ished before winter. Edson F. and John C. Adams and Mrs. Julia Prather, the owners of the Adams Tract, have dedicated a strip of land, 110 feet wide and nearly a mile in length, for the construction of a boulevard, extending from the end of Boulevard Terrace, across Adams Point, to the head of the northeast arm of Lake Merritt. An agreement was entered into with the Webster Street and Park Rallroad Company, the terms of which provide that the company shall construct its terminus at the up- per end of the boulevard. The property owners along Twenty- that thoroughfare with bitumen, from Railroad avenue to Twenty-second street, and the Oakland Transit Com- | pany has been requested to remove one | of the tracks on the street, making the Twenty-third avenue line a single | track system. This will allow consid- | erably more room for teams The filling in of Commerce street, from Twelfth to Twenty-first street, has been completed, and the work of -adamizing will be commenced im- mediately. The E. B. & Company, which has the contract for | the work, has a large force of men em- ployed and will rush the work as fast as possible. Ground has been broken for the grading and macadamizing of Seven- | teenth enue, from East Twelfth to | Bast xteenth street. "The work of | im:proving Hopkins street, from Four- | teenth avenue to the city limits, will {scan be commenced. | One of the much needed improve- ments, which has just been completed, | outside the city, is the placing of elec- tric lights on Orchard avenue, in Elm- | hurst. Three lamps have béen install- | ed, one at the corner of Orchard and | Sunnyside avenues, another at Orchard avenue and Orange street, and the | third on Orchard avenue, between Sec- |ond and Third streets. This distribu- | tion of the lights illuminates the ave- nue for a distance of ten blocks. | ————— | Found Beside Car Track. An unknown man was found lying beside the car track at | Eighth and Mission streets last night. He was taken to the Central Emer- gency Hospital, where it was discov- ered that his skull was fractured. The police immediately began to investigate | the case. Miss N. Sullivan of 2 Sum- ner street told Policeman Sullivan that | she saw the unknown hurled from the {car by another man. Conductor J. A. Maddigan identified the injured man as a passenger with whom he had a dis- pute about the payment of fare. Mad- digan maintains that he did not see the man thrown from the car. The un- known will probably die. From his ap- pearance he is a laboring man. +* i overturned and Clover was thrown violently to the ground, landing upon his head. He was picked up in an unconscious state and taken to Shee- han’s resort. Dr. Joseph I. Manson and Miss Laura Garr, a professional nurse, happened to witness the acci- | unconscious dent. They went to Clover's assist- ance. Dr. Manson sewed up an ugly wound on_ Clover's forehead and dressed a deep gash on the back of his head. He was later renioved to his apartments at the St. Nicholas Ho- tel. His injuries, whiie extremely pain- ful, are not of a serious nature. So soon as the buggy returned an attache of the Golden Gate Life Sav- ing Station grabbed one of the horses. The other made a wild dash down the beach, scattering people right and left in his mad career. He first ran into a delegation of the California Comman- dery of Knights Templar, who were out for a practice drill on black char- gers and came within an ace of dash- ing through the center of that august body. He then ran into a lot of bicycle riders and scattered them right and left, completely demolishing several of their machines. He wound up his mad flight by running into W. E. Specht of 447 Lyon street, whom he knocked down. Specht suffered an extensive contusion of the right thigh. He was taken to the Park Emergency Hospital, where his wounds were dressed by Dr. Millar, after which he was sent home. The runaway horse was finally cap- tured by one of the Knights Templar and taken back to the scene of the smashup and the whole outfit was eventually towed back to the city. Mrs. M. Swartz, while trying to cross the bculevard, was run into and Ben Heavey of 1925 Bryant street. Charles Leonhardt Jr., who was driv- |ing at the time, assisted the injured woman into his_buggy and conveyed her to the Park Hospital, where it was found she had suffered a severe con- tusion of the eye. Miss Irene Heaney, a ~irl 13 years old, was attempting to climb the stone fence near the museum when she missed her footing and fell, falling heavily on her side and breaking her left arm. She was taken to the Park Emergency Hospital, where Dr. C. F. Millar set the injured member and she was then removed to her home, 467 Thirteenth street. —————— Don’t think for a minute that any man is interested in your troubles—un- less he is a lawyer. third avenue have decided to repave | A.
