The Baldwin & Howell syndicate has decided to materially enlarge the residence park, plans for which on a smaller scale were about to be adopt- ed. At the last moment the owners of several adjoining parcels concluded to sell, and these tracts will be in- cluded in the proposed park. The ad- ditional land acquired involves an out- lay of between $30,000 and-$40,000, but as it greatly improves the sym- metry of the park, the syndicate con- cluded to make the purchase. The largest piece included in the deal was bought from Theodore H. Hittell, his tract being about an acre and a half in area. The price is un- derstood to be somewhere between $25,0000 and $30,000. These new acquisitions involve quite a radical change in the plan of the park, conse- quently the competitive designs sub- mitted by the five architects several weeks ago have been discarded and others will be called for. The area of the park now amounts to about eleven acres. The increased size will permit of a much more elab- orate scheme for adornment than the original plan. The principal frontage will be on First avenue. The wall of the Presidio reservation will be the northerly line of the park, while the southerly line will run parallel with Lake street and about 100 feet north of it. The lots will vary in size from 50 to 100 feet frontage and will all face on a circular drive in the center of the park. A handsome stone en- trance gate will be constructed on First avenue, opposite Washington street. The park will be inclosed by an ornamental fence. The center of the driveway and the edges of the sidewalks will be adorned with shrubs, grass and flowers, and all street work will be completed and the lots graded and put in shape for build- ing before the property is placed on the market. The park will be ex- clusively for residences, the cost of which will probably be limited to a minimum of $7500. Baldwin & Howell state that they expect to place the property on the market about the first of the year. The last of the vacant blocks for- merly owned by the Baird estate is now offered for sale in subdivisions by Lyon & Hoag. The property was sold about two weeks ago and the new owner has instructed the agents to offer the property at private sale in somewhat larger lots than is usual in such cases. The lots vary in width from 25 feet to 60 feet. The property has been made ready for building. All the street work surrounding the block has been done, including the grading, sewering, bituminizing and stone walks. The sale of the Baird block, which has occupied about two years, has resulted in a complete change in the appearance of the Pan- handle district. In place of the then vacant land a large number of bufld- ings, all of which are of a superior class, appear. Seven lots on Clayton street, commencing 60 feet south of A CRIDIRON GAME| ZACK T. CILPIN AT PN L. H. Buddemer Overcome by Excitement of Contest on New Field of California HEART ACTION CEASES Starts to Cheer, but His Lips Are Soon Sealed by Cold Fingers of Death —_— Berkeley Office San Francisco Call, 2148 Center Street, .ct. 15. ‘While the football giants of Berkeley and Stanford were fighting for victory on California fleld, and rooters brass bands and private citizens created a din, L. H. Buddemer, - a spectator, raised his hat and started to cheer, then fell back, helpless to the ground. He had sustained a stroke which paralyzed his heart action and he died in thirty minutes. None knew the man. Deputy Mar- shal Howard took from his clothing a card, which identified him as L. H. Buddemer of Portland, Or. He was about 60 years old, well dressed, and apparently came along to the football game. It was quickly rumored that the dead man was a relative and perhaps the father of A. Budleman, substitute right guard of the California freshman team. Budleman is from Oergon. He looked at the corpse and said that the old man was a stranger to him. The body was left to lie on the ground under the staging of the un- completed bleachers until the game was finished. A black cloth covered the corpse. Players and spectators ignored the circumstance. The game proceeded without interruption. At its finish the body was removed to the local Morgue, under the direction of Deputy Coroner Streightiff. On searching the dead man's cloth- ing last evening the Coroner’s deputy found fraternity pins showing that he was an Odd Fellow, a Grand Army vet- eran and a member of the A. O. U. W. In his memorandum book were the words: “If anything happens notify Mrs. H L. B, Portland, Or., 331 West FPark street.” Deputy Coroner Streightiff sent a telegram to the foregoing address, ask- Ing what disposition should be made of the body. —_———— OYSTER PROPAGATORS HAVE THEIR TROUBLES OAKLAND, Oct. 15.—There is a row on among the directors of the Pacific Oyster Company with its head- quarters at the town of Haywards, and R. E. Darbee, L. P. Eaton, F. C. Im- mel, S. U. Darbee and T. B. Russell owning 519 shares of the capital stock of the corporation have asked for an injunction to keep R. H. Countryman, Sim Lazansky, C. P. Overton, J. W. Pew, John R. Daggett and F. T. Mar- tens, who between them have but 465 shares of stock, from enjoining them from holding an election next Tues- day to increase the board of directors. The trouble arose on a recent elec- tien of directors and a suit is now pending in San Francisco involving the legality of it. In the meantime in order to forestall the decision of the court a speclal election has been called for the purpose of increasing the number of directors from five to seven, and by this means still keeping control of the board. A temporary writ was granted this afternoon and the matter will be heard next Monday. ————— Marriage Licenses.

Sheriff of Placer County Is Unable to Find Former City Treasurer of Oakland FAILS TO SERVE PAPERS Man Who Held Public Office for Fourteen Years Drops Completely Out of Sight Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1016 Broadway, Oct. 15. All efforts by lawyers, Sheriffs and process servers to trace and locate former City Treasurer Z. T. Gilpin, Who left Oakland last July, have failed utterly, and his friends in this city deny that they have any knowledge of his whereabouts. Recently an effort was made to serve Gilpintwith a copy of an attachment levied on a plece of property owned jointly by him and his wife. After a considerable interval the papers were returned by Sheriff Charles Keena of Placer County, with a notation that the man could not be found. The former City Treasurer left this city just after an attachment had been levied by H. Blais, a money lender, against the Standard Wood Company, which was owned by Gilpin and G. W. Jackson. Gilpin went to Colfax and was last seen at that place on July 80, when he had a long interview with Jackson to whom he gave a_bill of sale of his interest in the company. On the day after Gilpin left Oakland another attachment was levied by W. | H. Dean against a plece of property owned by Miss May Gilpin, on a claim of $3600, assigned to the Dean Law and Collection Agency by Dr. W. D. Huntington. When an attempt was made to serve the papers on Gilpin he was not to be found either here or at Colfax. —_—————— Provide Graves for AlL OAKLAND, Oct. 15.—A corporation to be known as the California Mutual Burial Association has been formed, the purpose of which is to pay the fu- neral expenses of each member upon his death by the payment of a 30- cent assessment.
