Ntagger- i | | i | ing across the race track, from which the ascension was to have been made, he fell insensible in'a ditch at the side of the course. Larsen had been sta- tioned inside the balloon while it was | being inflated and was overcome by the fumes of the flaming gasoline. Had it not beén for the destruction of the big gas bag by the wind it is probable he | would have met death in his canvas prison, for when the rending of the | sides of the balleon allowed him to escape into the open air he was at the point of death from suffocation and was unable to speak. Drs. O. D. Hamlin and H. P.

Unwilling | | to disappoint the large erowd which had gathered to witness the exhibition, Professor Montgomery waited for more | than an hour, and then, as the force of the wind seemed to have lessened some- | what, he gave the order to have the balloon inflated for the ascension. | As soon as the swelling canvas be gan to present an extended surface to the force of the wind there was trouble. | The great bag began to sway and re- | | | | | | peatedly tore itself free from those who held it, until the grip of many hands on the canvas ripped the fabriec, allow- | ing the wind to get inside. A moment later the big balloon hung in €hreds from the guy ropes. In order that those who paid the admission to the grounds | to-day may have an cnportunity to see | the aeroplane in action, a free exhibi- | tion will be given on a date to be set | 1ater. |SUMMER SCHOOL WILL | SOON BEGIN -ITS WORK | Distingnished Instructors | From Europe and East to | Give Varied Courses. | “BERKELEY, June 25.—With a univer- sity meeting in Hearst Hall to-morrow | afternoon, the summer session courses will be declared in complete operation, { this being the first time when representa- tives of al! the courses are to come to- | gether for general consultation.

There were rumors of war and san- guinary struggles at the City Hall. The Police Department was awry from sup- pressed excitement. Captaln, sergeants and patrolmen cast furtive glances roundabgut. Chief of Police Hodgkins' was arrested. And what was worse, the offending | policeman was none other than Patrol- man McCready. Alas, the irony of fate! Only a few weeks ago the Chief of Po- lice had selected McCready to be pro- moted to the post of bailiff of Police ) Court No. 2, one of the “easy” blllets! that serve as targets for ambitious bluecoats’ hopes. It was because of Mc- | Cready's zeal in arresting violators of | 2 brother Police had picked the busy policeman for the honor. And now the shock blasts the Chief, and, according to the wise ones at headquarters, has left Me- Cready in a guessing mood. It was in this wise. Last night Mc- Cready was on the alert for careless wheelmen when he spled a stalwart bi- cyclist on a Grove-street sidewalk. The policeman overhauled the rider and ar- rested him. It was not revealed to the officer that he had touched a tender spot until after the prisoner had been registered at the City Hall. There the record showed that A. L. Hodgkins, machinist, had violated the bicycle or- glr;lance and had been released on $2 ail. Quickly the news spread throughout the department. Old-time beat-walk- ers were aghast. They recalled that ! McCready had been on the force only a few months. McCready will not talk. He is in too profound a meditation to- day. That bailiff’s job has a far-away look about it. As for Chief Hodgkins, he is eloguent in his silence. COMMENDABLE | WORK PLANNED BY P. L. P.CLUB BY ZOE GREEN RADCLIFFE. OAKLAND, June 25.—The recent address of | Mayor Mott before the Women's Civic Im- provement Club, urging the ladies to interest themselves in cbtaining for Oakland an art gallery, was right in line with the gospel that the Palette, Lyre and Pen Club is preaching. This_ little club, still in its swaddiing clothe has taken a firm holdon the public favor | and has recelved much unexpected encourage- ment in the work it has set itself to do. It | has fitted up cozy rooms in the Smith Brothers' building, the gray-green walls and oak fur- nishings forming a pliasing background for the paintings that are the nucleus of a perma- nent exhibit. ‘The club’s purpose is to encour- age high aims in literature, music and art, and with t end in view will countenance only the best. It plans, too, to give the public_the benefit of that “best,” so that when the Pal- ette, Lyre and Pen Club throws open its doors lovers of art, whether of music, painting or | literature, may be assured that the entertain- ment offered will be first-class. The club’s first effort will be to establish a permanent art gallery and, if its present plans do not miscarry, before 'many suns ha ‘warmed the month of July the exhibit now he-i ing arranged in the clubrooms on Thirteenth street will be open daily to the public. Among the well-known artists who are pioneers in this worthy movement are C. P. Neilson, War- ren E. Rollins, Xavier Martinez, H. D, Gremke, J. M. Griffin, Grace Wishaar, De Neale Morgan and Mrs. D. W. Gelwicks. Such leading spirits as Herman Whittaker, Jack London, Florence Hardiman Miller, Joseph B. Baker and Charles Woodbury in the_literary world, and_W. J. McCoy, Clement P. Row- lands, A. T. Stewart, Walter Manchester, | Mabel Gray Lachmund and Winifred June Morgan among the musicians, are aiso actively interested in the aims and welfare of the club. The regular club meeting occurs on the first Friday night of each month, and although the vacation time has taken many members out of town for awhile, informal meetings will con- tinue to form a pleasant featurs of club Iife. A romance that Is almost a year old has just come to light, and the friends of Edward H. Carr are overwhelming him Wwith congrat- ulations. On September 10 of last year Mr. Carr and Miss Mabel Johnson of Berkeley to California’s Gretna Green, fetly married that little episode reached Francisco or on this slipped away San Rafael, and were not even a ‘rumor of t their many friends in 0 side of the bay.

This petition, if granted, will save several hours’ delay daily.~ A rural delivery system for Mill- Valley, Corte Madera, Larkspur, Escalle, Kent- fleld, Ross and San Anselmo is under dis- cussion.

Negotia- tions are practically completed, but both the purchaser and the seller of the property have requested that neither their names nor the location of the property be made public until .L‘ha time comes for filing the transfer. The lantern slides prepared from views of Oakland and points of inter- est in Alameda County and sent East by the Oakland Board of Trade for ex- clities, have proved ome of the best ad- vertisements of the beauties of the State ever sent from Celifornia. See- retary Edwin Stearns of the board has been récelving very good reports as to their effectiveness. Frank J. Woodward of the Realty Bonds and Finance Company says that in the last week thirteen lots in Woodlawn Park property have been sold, many of them to newcomers to Alimeda County. This makes a total of fifty-three lots in this tract sotd since the property was placed on the market two weeks ago. Taylor Brothers & Co. report a steady demand for all kinds of residence property, a large percentage of the in- quiries recelved by them coming from people residing in other parts of the | State and in the East. They are now | handling some choice suburban prop- | erty and report several fairly large | sales during the week just ended. | Harry L.

BERKELEY, June 25.—G. Harry Powell, the pomological expert sent out to California by the Department of Agriculture at Washington to experi- ment with citrus and declduous fruit: with a view to determining how ship- | ping and storing methods might be improved, has completed his work. His tests have deen made while co-operat- ing with the State University. Mr. Powell spent six months In Southern California working omn the orange crop with growers and ship- pers. For the last month he has been in the fleld of decidyous fruits in this | part of the State. He announces that | by cooling peaches and pears before they are started on the long journey to the East théy can be picked when nearly ripe and then land in the East in perfect condition. Heretofore they have been picked when green and this has operated against their being in good) condition upon arrival in the East. Mr. Powell demonstrated to citrus growers in the south that by icing the fruit before it was started east it could be kept intact on the journey and but a very small per cent of the lot would be spoiled eri route. It fs esti- and his instructions to growers and packers have saved them hundreds of thousands of dollars. —_—————— MANY TRAVEL TO SAUSALITO TO DANCE WITH NATIVE SONS Grand Ball Given by Sea Peiat Parlor at Yacht Club House a Big Success.
