Hidden by a tangle of brush and thi¢kets, the body of a man, with what looks like a bullet wound in the side, was uncovered this morning on the bank of Cemetery Creek on the Pierce estate, near the junction of | PieA@mont avenue and Broadway. The | remaing were so badly decomposed that identification would be next to smpossible. The body's condition in- dicated that the stranger must have b » dead for many months. Dominick (’'Mara, residing at Fifth and Franklin streets, made the grew- | gome discovery while taking a stroll along the course of the creek, his cus- 1wm for Sundays. He saw what ap- pedred to be a man's leg half con- cealed by the brush. Investigation dis- cloged the body. O'Mara did not wait to look further, but notified ‘the po- lice. They in turn went to the desig- rated place and brought to light the corpse. After removal to the remains were carefully examined, with the resuit bullet wounds were found on the right gide. These could not be explained, there Wag no weapon seen near body, nor was anything found there- abouts to throw any light upon the manner of death. The clothing was in tatter trousers had been of seme da terial, but were so badly decayed that they are useless for purposes of jden- tification. Search of the garments were fruitless. Nothing was found that would =2id u a selution of the mystery. Deputy Coroner Quellen wae in- clined to cast a doubi upon the theory of murder or of suicide because the evidence was not positive enough. He s2ifl an autopsy would be required and even then, judging from the condition of the corpse, such an examination might be of little avail.

Shortly after the election he left for San Luis Obispo, where he took a rest after the work.of the campaign and at the same time did a little work for the Native | Sons and the Landmarks League, s0 that he was not entirely idle.

OAKLAND, Nov. 20.—The annual ba- | zaar given by the Séventy Minute So- | ciety for the benefit of the Church of the Advent in East Oakland was a great success, and the members feel well, repaid for their weeks of prepara- tion for the affair. All the booths were wéll patronized and when the bazaar closed last night nearly all the booths | had sold out their entire stock. An original bazaar, called “Zonolio,” or the Festival of the Zones, has been planned by the members of the Meth- odist church, and will be held in the Cadet Armory at Fifteenth and Jeffer- { son streets, on Friday and Saturday evenings, November 25 and 26.

Thieves with a keen appreciation of | the beautiful plants and flowers in Professor E. W. Hilgard’s home grounds at 2728 Banctoft way have for two weeks taken, each - night, some part of the plant life there, until, as Professor Hilgard said to-day, “My vard looks like a dismantled wheat field.” Two of the thieves were detected in the act at an early hour this morning, by Deputy Marshal Reginald Cope, but they were frightened by his approach and fled before the peace officer could effect a captur Cope was advised by Marshal Kerns a week ago that the Hilgard grounds were being vistted régularly by plant thieves, and that it .awould be weH to watch the place with more than usual care. Cope, accordingly was pretty well aware of the character of the visitors| he found in the Hilgard place this morning, when, just before sunrise, as he walked up Bancroft way he saw two figures moving about through the trees and shrubbery. They were on the lookout, too, and heard or saw Cope Organizations .in A‘“me‘h Steal His Valuable Plants and Bullets. | before he got within a hundred feet of them. The deputy marshal fired two shots at the fleeing vandals, but neith- | er apparently took effect, for the men ran until they eluded the marshal. Professor Hilgard believes that a pro- fessional florist, or thieves who know very well what are the most valuable plants, and which plants would most easily be disposed of, are the persons who have despoiled his beautiful grounds. “The thieves have been careful to select rare and beautiful ferns and such plants,” said Professor Hilgard to-day. “It ig evident that mo common or ignorant fellow has done the work, for in the very beginning the finest plants T had were taken, and selected with discrimination. I mourned their loss but conscled myself with the re- flection tHat I still had beautiful plants left. When these, too, began to fade way I was sure that some evil per- sons had decided to use my grounds as a supply house to either replenish their own gardens and yards, or to obtain stuff for sale to others. I wish no one any harm, but I sincerely hope that the Berkeley police department may cap- ture and punish the persons who have so thoroughly despoiled my grounds.” SRRV 3 DESIRE TIDAL CANAL OPENED Fruitvale and Alameda Are Bent Upon Having Diteh Declared Navigable Way DU Oakland Office San Francisco Call 1016 Broadway, Nov. 20. One of the first matters that will be brought to the attention of the Hon. Joseph R. Knowland, the new represen- tafive of the Third Congressional Dis- will be that of having the tidal canal declared a navigable waterway. Several improvement organizations ufl Alameda and Fruitvale, including the Board of Trade of the latter place, are in favor of having the big ditch, which was completed more than two years ago, thrown open to commercial uses. Three large steel drawbridges span the canal at Park street, Fruitvale avenue and High street, but they have never been swung to permit the passage of any craft but dredgers and all are without tenders. Both sides of the ‘canal, from San Leandro Bay on thé east to San An- tanio Bstuary on the west, afford com- modious and convenient sites for man- ufacturing plants, but ‘these Will con- tinue to 'bé unoccupied wunless the waterway is opéned to’ navigation. Charles F. Lee, in an address befofe the Board of Trade of Fruitvale, ad- vanced many strong arguments why the tidal canal should be opened to navigation and showed how such action would berlefit Fruitvale, Alameda, Oak- land and the towns adjacent to San Leandro Bay. His Statements met with the approval of the members of that'body and the improvement clubs of Alameda will be asked to unite in the request that Congress open the canal for the purpose of navigation.

Improvement in Transporta- tion Facilities Increases Activity of the Market —_— Oakland Office Ban Francisco Call, 1016 Broadway, Nov. 20. Believing that in the near future i Oakland 1is destined to become an im- portant manufacturing and distribut- ing center of the Pacific Coast, many business men, who are at present lo- cated in the Northern and Eastern States, are making Inquiries as to the | prices of property in this city, In- tending to engage in business here. Local real estate men express the opinion that the coming winter will witness a large increase in the mer- cantile community of the city, and as nearly all of these newcomers may be expected to buy or build homes of their own, dealérs in suburban and city real estate look for an extremely active winter market. One of the most potent factors in the development of Oakland and the consequent increase in its population is the great improvement in trans-| portation facilities between this eity and San Francisco. As a direct result of this improvement several sales of Oakland property have recently been made to San Francisco business men, who will hereafter make their homes on this side of the bay. The most im- portant of these sales has just been reported by William J. Laymance, who reports the purchase of an elegant villa site, 100 by 200 feet, in Monte- cito avenue, in Piedmont, by Miles Standisii, manager of the Albion Lum- ber Company of San Francisco. Berkeley, North Oakland, East Oak- land and Alameda are receiving their ghure of the general prosperity. Dur- ing the last y®ar the increase in home building in North Oakland and Berke- ley has been almost phenomenal and in the last two months there has been a decided advance in the demand for East Oakland and Alameda property. At a meeting of the real estate dealers of East Oakland held Wednes- day evening at the office of Albert Schmidt an organization was formed for the purpose of advertising East Oakland real estate. It was decided to begin a system of extensive advertis- ing in the Oakland, San Francisco and Eastern newspapers at once. An- other meeting will be held +on Wed- nesday evening at the same place, at which officers will be elected and per- manent organization effected. «WHiiam J. Laymance. president of thé Laymance Redl Estate Company, is well satisfied with the present con- dition of the market. He said: There has been a marked increase in busi- ness during the past Week. The number of in- quiries for Oakland residential and business property, both for rent and for sale, has beer much heavier than in the last féw weeks, the inquiry being general for property throughout the city and its suburbs. At the present ratio | of inquriries and sales of property to new peo- ple on this side of the bay and the new homes now in course of construction, it is safe to es- timate that there are annually locating in Oak- | land, Berkeley and Fruitvale an increased population of neariy 10600 peopie. In the northern section of Oakland and the district_Iying between Oukiand and Berkeley and Berkeiey proper, new homes are springing up remarkably fast. This marked activity is also perceptibly noticeable in North Oakiand and Piedmont along the line of the new trans- portation facilities of the Key Route. The new ferry service is also noticeable to us on account of commuters in the past having to get near the local trains now having two Foutes of tramsportation to choose from, and when Oakland is favored with Key Route transportation into the heart of the city, Onk- land will take on such activity as has never been experlenced in the history of the city. The general impression is prevalling that the Southern Pacific Company is preparing to turn its local lines into electric service is_creating a marked condition in the inquiries and value of property along the lines of its present service. Therefore the impression of the people in general, both local and non-resi- | dent, is that Oukiand to-day has one of the mest assured futures and the brightest pros- of any city oh the coast, as local trans- rtation facilities have in the past been one of the greatest features of attracting popula- tion to this side of the bay, and with such ad- ditional facilities the city is bound to grow as it never has before. On account of the new ferry service we have just sold to Miles Standish, manager of the Albion Lumber Company of San Francisco, a magnificent Pledmont Villa site, size 1002300 feet, situate on the north line of Montecito avenue, 100 feet east of Oakland avenue, being a_portion of the well-known Myers bloek, which block already contains the magnificent residences of Mrs. J. T. Barracioush, ihe Gor- rills, Dr. Mehrmann and A. L. homes range in_value from $25.000 to $50,000 each, and Mr. Standish’s home 'is expected to compare very favorably with them. Mr. Etandish expects to begin immediate construc- tion. We hope to be able to locate a large retall mercantile enterprise from another _State, whose management is desirous of locating here with an eye to the present and future business ot Oakiand. This firm will require 40,000 square feet of retall floor space, which means a_four-story building, size 100x100. A rental 1 of $9000 per annum has already been made to one of Oakland's real estate owners and re- fused by him. We also have negotiations on which we hope to close in the near future for a pew bullding of this sise fof this new firm. » last ten days has also brought a very jmportant inquiry in the way of & manufac- turine concern that Is desirous of locating on Oakland's water front with water and rall factlities. This company hails Francisco and believes that Oakland is des- tified in the future to sécure the manufactur- ing enterprises of that ¢ity. This company would send out from Oakiand an average of from six to tén carloads of products daily and would employ over 300 laborers, meaning an andition to our population of over 1000 people, There will ba anly dhe t in the way of keeping this company from locating heré, and that 18 the shallowness of the East Oakiand channel. Orie ean caslly sée the importance of havihg the Government deepen this chan- nel €0 as to permit deep sea vessels to call at the factory for products. a well-known { fact that present day constructed vessels re- | quire greater draught than those of the past.

OAKLAND, Nov. 20.—Chief of Po= lice Hodgkins has ordered Policeman Michael Shannon and Special Police- man N. N. Goodwin to swear to com- plaints against the four policemen— Sergeant C. E. Clark, Lee E. Andrews, J. G. Stahl and C. W, Hamerton—who were dismissed from the department for pilfering in merchants’ stores. Shannon and Goodwin have been di- rected to appear before Prosecuting Attorney A. P. Leach to-merrow morning and ascertain whether they are legally qualified to make oath to the complaints that have been drawn charging the former policemen with burglary. Prosecuting Attorney Leach holds that the evidence is insufficient. As to his instructions, Hedgkins said: I have directed Shanmon to swear to com- plaints if the Prosecuting Attorney so ad- vises.

E. Ritter for illustration. A branch of the Audubon Society has been formed by the young women of Miss Head's school. At a meeting held last week in the Greek Theatér on the university grounds they watch- ed the flights of birds over the grounds, and discussed the various species of feathered creatures that are to be found on the campus.
