OAKLAND, July 20.—Since late last Saturday evening George T. Little, a contractor and bullder residing at 561 Forty-third street, Alden, has not been seen by bis friends in this city and some anxiety is felt for his safety. Little has several contracts uncom- pleted; is-.believed to be financially solvent and it is not thought that he has intentionally disappeared to re- main any great length of time. It is eaid that his labor bills have all been paid, but that he owes several thou- sand dollars to material men and lum- ber mills. Architect C. M. Cook, through whom Little secured several contracts for building houses, said to-day that he was aware of some domestic trouble in Little’'s home which may have caused him to conclude to absent himself for a while.

PROTEST AGAINST RATLROAD FRANCHISE, Fight Renewed Over Pro- posed Line on East Four- teenth Street. OAKLAND, July 20.—Residents and property-owners along East Fourteenth street have flled with the City Councit & protest against the granting of a franchise to the Oakland Traction Con- solidated for a street railway through that thoroughfare from First to ~Thir- teenth avenue. This is & renewal of a contest that has been on between the property-owners and the rallroad for i many months. The company desires the franchise in order to strengthen its lines through East Oakland. The East Fourteenth street residents desire the company to go through East Twelfth street. The protest objects to the granting of the franchise on many grounds. A c¢om- mittee, at the head of which is C. W. Evans, has been organized to present the “objections before the City Council. Some of the East Oaklanders who are favorable to the Traction Consolidated’s petition, declare that the objections rep- resent only a minority of the people in East Fourteenth street. Samuel J; Taylor, secretary of ' the Oakland Transit Consolidated, sald to- night before the Street Railway Com- mittee of the City Council that if the East Fourteenth street franchise was granted the eoripany would reconstruct its entire system in East Oakland, in- cluding East Fourteenth, East Eight- eenth and East Twenty-first streets, and in Alameda. He said further that the company had been assured that a large majority of the residents of East Oak- land and the outlying districts desired the line to run through East Four- teenth street. Representatives from the 1Zast Oakland Improvement Club, the Alameda Advancement Association, Fruitvale and other districts spoke in favor of granting the franchise. Bev- eral property owners on East Four- teenth street made a protest. James A. Johnson, representing the protestants, was granted a week by the committee in which to prepare further statements in opposition to the proposed franchise. BUG EXPERTS WILL HAVE GOOD BUILDING Entomological Department of Agricultural College Gets New Quarters.

A portion of Harmon gymnasium, which was detached from the main building when work on the an- nex was begun two months ago, now stands on end, a few hundred feet from the gymnasium, ¢lose to the agricultural college. This portion of the “gym’ is to be given to the entomological depart- ment. When the university administra- tion authorities informed the officials of various departments in colleges on the campus a few days ago that this par- ticular building was available for their purposes, and that whichever depart- ment made out the best case could have the use of the structure, bidding at once began. The agricultural college folk won, Dean Wickson's plea for the en- tomological people being effective. The work of changing the structure into quarters for Professor Woodworth and his assistants will begin at once. They now occupy cramped and crowded rooms on the top floor of the agricultural college building, but hitherto architects and con- tractors have been unable to prepare snitable plans that would also come within the $5000 appropriation. The money lies in the treasury, and until such plans as will come within the appropriation are filed the entomological people at the university will occupy the gymnasium annex. —e——————— PRINTERS ARE AGGRIEVED. BERKELEY, July 20.—Much talk of injunction proceedings was heard to- day among local printing concerns, which ate aggrieved at the action of the Board of Education in awarding a contract to the San Francisco firm of Edward Knowles for printing literature used by the School Department.

The orig- inal bids were submitted & week ago and proved unsatisfactory. New bids were asked for and city firms were asked to compete. = The Berkeley men allege that it is improper for School Director Knowles to have assisted in giving a contract to a firm in which his nephew is inter- ested and this is expected to be the ground of injunction proceedings if such are begun. e POLICEMEN USE PISTOLS.

Countryman in support of his motion to vacate a judgment en- tered against his client, Frederick Mar- riott, and in favor of Joseph Bardsley. Bardsley sued Marriott for . $540 27 as surety on a bond given by James A. Maguire to secure the payment for goods purchased by the last named from the plaintiff on credit. During the trial of the case, it is alleged by Countryman, Attorney Gray stated to the court during the absence of Coun- tryman that all of thée evidence for the defendant was in and got the entry of judgment in favor of the plaintiff as prayed. Then Countryman moved to i vacate the judgment which resulted in | | the filing of an affidavit, drawn by Gray and bearing the Lewis C. Leet, to the” language which Countryman takes exception. After Countryman had read his affi- davit stating that Gray had drawn uwpon his imagination in an endeavor to uphold the judgment the court or- dered the motfon submitted.
