BERKELEY, April 1.—"“Co-eds” in a country fair on the university campus will constitute an absolute college nov- elty and this the Assoclated Women Students have decided to provide. There have been colonial balls in plenty, mas- querade affairs in abundance and dances, dramatic doings and picnics an- til they became a drug on the campus and all are surfeited with them. When some ‘“co-ed’ with an eye for novel effects proposed a few weeks ago that the girl students unite in giving a “country fair” during the latter part of April, her sisters in college acclaimed her a Christopher Columbus, deserving of plaudits. Result—there will be a country fair. In “Co-ed” Canyon, most delightful of campus spots, the fair is to be held. The date is to be April 19. The Asso- clated Women Students have given their official sanction to the project. It will be a success. There wHl be “spielers” and “bark- ers” and “steerers” for the fair attrac- tions. The “co-eds” will assume these roles. There will be fortune telling shows, curiosities from the old world and many new and wonderful things which the “‘co-ed” mind is to evolve be- fore April 19 rolls around.

April 1.—A very lion-like and flerce wind blew March off the calendar and mede it possible for April to salute us this morning with a sunny smile, and gave each still lingering cloud a (golden lining. Let us hope that this auspicious dawn foretold golden blessings on the couples who have chosen the mont: of smiles and tears in which to join their lives for better or for worse. An unus number of maids have selected April days on which to wed, this year, instcad of follow- ing the time worn path that leads to’ the altar in_merry May or zlorious June. Tomorrow night Miss Lillian Lane will be- come the bride of George Colgett, and it is to the very “bridiest” kind of a wedding— all white. “The wedding gown, of course—a perfectly delicious creation, by the way, of soft silk messaline—the bridemaids’ dresses and the decorations—the pale fruit blossoms that are to be used promising a delightful effect. The wedding is to take place at the home’ of Mre. Sidney Peterson, the bride's sister, and Miss Alma Marshall of San Franclaxa and Miss Ethel Lane will be the bridesmaids. Two weddings will bring more than its s| of bliss to Wednesday—that of. Miss Charlotte Elsey and Charles Heatley at_the Elsey home on Eleventh street, and the Hamilton-Moore- house nuptials in Bast Oakland. And so on throush the April days one may find momentous dates marked off here and there, both before and after Easter, for Cupid doesn’t appear to be keeping Lent at all. On the Sth, pretty Mildred Ross will wed Harry Cokn at the home of her sister, Mrs. Dr. Green, who will also officiate as matron of honor. Almost at the end of the much- scratched calendar we_ find the wedding_day of Mabel Reed and Harry Lanme. Mr. Lane is the nicest sort of a chap—or, at least, he would be if he were not stealinx one of Oakland's eweetest girls to carry off to Los Angeles. Sk .

During the last month there has been a marked increase in the inquiry for factory and warehouse sites along the Oakland water front, almost all of ! which has come from outsiders who are desirous of locating in this city. One real estate man now has commis- slons from three Eastern capitalists to secure as soon as possible suitab’e lo- cations for factories which can be easily reached by at least one rail- road. Among the largest sales of city and suburban real estate recorded during the last week are those of the Atlantic House, on Franklin street. near Ninth, for which $30,000 was.pald by a local capitalist; Odd Fellows' Hall, at Twen- ty-second and Grove streets, which was sold by Fred Campbell for $16,000 to an Oakland man, and a tract of twenty acres on the San Leandro road, which was sold by A. F. Briggs to A. F. and M. Connett for $20,000. This sale was made by the Bay Clities Realty Company, and fhe purchasers of the tract will at once subdlvide it and place it on the market. The work of laying its underground coduits will be started by the Home Telephone Company during the coming week. It is understood that the first work will be done on San Pablo ave- nue. The conduits are being manufac- tured in East Oakland. Within the next two weeks another of Oakland's landmarks will have dis- appeared. The contract has been let for the demolition of the old Tubbs mansion, between Fifth and Sixth ave- nues and Eas¥ Twelfth and East Four- teenth streets, in East Oakland, and the work of tearing down the house will be begun within a few days. The block on which the house now stands has been purchased by the Home Real Estate Company, and as sSoon as pos- sible they will subdivide it into build- ings lots and begin the erection of mod- ern homes on the property. C. M. McGregor has just secured per- mits for the erection of two large apartment-houses in East ¢ land, and’ the work of construction will begin as soon as the weather settles. The new. buildings will be erected at Third ave- nue and East Sixteenth street. One of the structures, which will contain thir- ty-five rooms, will cost $11,000, and the other will contain ninety-six rooms and will cost $26,000. George Sully, who for some time has been assoclated with H. D. Irwin, whose real estate office is located at Lorin, has gone into business for himself and has opened offices at 3314 Adeline street in South Berkeley. Mr. Sully is well known In Berkeley, and he already has a large list of desirable property. His new offices are handsomely finished in Mission design in weathered oak. L. W. McGlauflin, a well-known real estate man of San Francisco, has just opened offices at 1408 Park street. In Alameda. He is making a specialty of the Oaklawn tract. and also has.a large 1ist of choice Alameda property. The new office is under the management of C. M. Cadman. Hedemark & Bradhoff report the sale of $45,000 worth of property in the last seven days. On half the lots sold build- ings are already in course of construc- tion.

Men Are Ready to Take the Places of Those Who May Go Out OAKLAND, April 1.—“We are walting for tomorrow’s conference with the Trac- Ellison, president of the carmen’s union today when he was asked whether there were any developments in the existing conditions. He further sai “We believe there will be beneflcial re- sults from the conference.” The union’s headquarters at 1068 Broad- way were deserted during the day save for the occasional dropping fn and out of a very few carmen. The same might be said of the Oakland Tractign offices. There was a decided lull in-the situation. Surface indications offered mothing upon which to build a theory as to the final outcome of the strike talk that has been S0 freely circulated since the meeting of the union Wednesday night. President Ellison today went to San Francisco, but failed to meet President Mahon and Pres- ident Cornelius of the San Franecisco Carmen's Union. He returned in the afternoon and made the announcement that there was no change in the situation. Still ‘waiting for the conference. But with the waiting has followed a vast deal of talking and much thinking. and many of the carmen are not a bit backward in thefr open discusslons. From the start the Traction Company of- ficlals have privately asserted their be- lef that the strike call would not be heeded by many of the carmen. This has been insistently declared, and with a decision which has led to inquify as to what the emphatic tdeas are based upon. So far as can be learned by much inde- pendent investigation the belief hinges upon many statements made by the men themselves to company officlals since the “strike vote” was taken Wednesday night. It is impossible to get a word from the traction officials on this branch of the subject. When asked, they sim- ly say they are ready for the trouble, Fut hoveful: that e will be averted. General Manaj W. F. Kelly has re- turned to Oakland and will probably take part in tomorrow's conference. In con- nectiony his absence from the city It is'a “that he-bas been in Los Angeles and has arranged for the em- ployment of a large number of men in case of a tie-up. Thése men have been made available for service as soon as the company shall require them. Be- sides, there is a large force, numbering, it As stated, one hundred men, within reach, who have been sent from Chicago. These arrangements, as well as the pro- vision which has been made at the Em- eryville car shops for housing men, are such as would be made by any firm or corporation under the conditions pre- sented since rumors of a strike were swelled into the “strike vote” of Wed- nesday night. That vote has been the subject of no end of discussion. The attitude of the carmen toward the strike situation has become an interest- ing one/ in view of the seeming unanim- ity displayed by the announced result of the vote. Far from unanimous is the sentiment which the traveling public gets in its dafly contact with the men on the cars. Many of the men, unhesitatingly, within the hearing of a car filled with passengers, assert their views, and they do not favor the strike idea at all. Public sentiment, which has crystallized rapidly since Wednesday, is strongly agalnst a strike, One of the reasons why the strike sentiment does not shape itself favorably toward the carmen is the fact that the question of wages and hours has little part in the controversy. Nearly 50 per cent of the Traction Company’s carmen recelve the 27 cents an hour rate, and somewhere around 100 receive the 2 cent rate, leaving a minority of about 200 who are in the 25 cent an hour scale, having been employed less than one year by the company. The third-year men receive the highest pay. To-morrow's conference will turn the scales one way or another. The carmen have not indicated how far they will in case opportunity offers for compromise. The railroad officials have not given sign or word of what they purpose saying or doing. The conference will be held in the morning at E. A. Heron's offices in the Syndicate building. The question tonight is whether a way out of the difficulty will be found which will avert the tie-up which has been threatened by the car- ‘men’s union if the Traction Company does not accede to its demands. There were no meetings of the carmen today. When Ellison returned from across the bay he had little to report to those who were walting. In an interview he | said: 1 I tanding as time.

At the park the final match of the first class was played over. Charles Foley and George Janes met last Sunday, but the match was postponed after each had won two sets. In the play-off yesterday Janes caused quite a surprise by beating his op- pofent in straight sets. The high wind made it almost impos- sible to play and the match was rather unsatisfactory, Janes played a fast game and his opponent was unable to make any neadway. This is the first time Foley has been beaten in a tournament in six months, while it is the coast cham- plon’s first vietory since he annexed his title last September. Janes will prob- ably play much better in future, as he was lacking in confidence. The scors of the match was 6-3, 6-4, 7-5. Janes was aiso successful on the Cali- fornia Club courts. He reached the finals in the first class, where he will meet™ Carl Gardner. The disagreeable weather kept many players from the courts and the entry list was rather small. Thers were only six entries in the| third and fourth classes. The fourth men were put into the third class. To the surprise of all two of them reached the final round. Only. five players competed in the first class. In the preliminary round Janes won from George Busch by default. In the first round Harold Gabriel met Coast Champion Janes and made an ex- cellent showing. Janes won two sets out of three, but in the set won by Gabriel the champion won only one game. Carl Gardner beat Herbert Long in straight sets in the preliminary round, but |in his first round match with Melville Long the lgngthy expert had his hands full. The younger Long put up a great game and at one stage needed but a single point to win the match. All three sets were close and hard fought. Long won the first set and led at 5-4 and #0-30 in the second set. Gardner pulled out the set. He also took the third set by a smail margin. Janes and Gardner will meet in the fin- als a week from Sunday. Five players competed In the consoli- dated third and fourth classes. Daniel Volkmann and Dr. Noble, formerly fourth class players, put out the third class men and will meet the finals next Sunday. Of the three matches played only on went the full three sets. This match was between W. Murphy and W, Bur- roughs. Murphy won the first and third sets by a 7-5 score. He won only one game in the second set. The scores: First class, preliminary round—George Janes beat George busch by default: Carl Gardner beat Herbert Lonx, 6-4, 6-3. Sem!-finals—Janes beat Harold Gabriel, 6-3. 1-§. 6-3; Gardner beat Melville Long. 6-8, 7-3, Third class, preliminary round—B, Webster H. G. Punnett by default; W. Murohy beat W.

The Willle left for the north last week with a party of Southern Cali- fornians, whose mission was to make & rallroad survey. ‘The members disembarked with diffi- culty last Friday afternoon at the moutn of Sycamore Canyon and made their way to shore through a heavy sea. Hartmeet ‘was left on board to care for the launch. Alone in the little craft he rode out the high storm all Friday night and Saturday forenoon. About 3 o'clock on Saturday afternoon the Willie broke from her moorings and was dashed to pieces om the rocks. Hartmeet was drowned.
