the purchase of land first made across the
way from the Hunter property, and go ahead,
if It shall be granted a franchise for a spur
track. The talk about "death trap" at the
crossing is all bosh. At the most there will be
a few freisht cart moved over the crossing
once a day. Yet It was proposed by those
fighting this yard subject that we should build
a line a mile and a half long- up Parker street,
crossing the Santa Fe tracks and the San Pablo
avenue electric line. I . will leave it to any
honest Judgment whether the Parker street
proposition is not immeasurably more danger
ous than this spur crossing. There was no
talk of "death trap" when the Oakland Tran
sit Company waa given a franchise to parallel
our - tracks on Shattuck avenue, so that . their .
fast-running electric trains should whizz by
our depots, with not room enough for a person
to stand between the two tracks. : .' -/• ..
Coming back to the matter of the track
crossing, r can ' only- say that the work ¦ Is ,be

The residence of David Lane at 2460
Market street was entered Friday after
noon during the temporary absence of the
family, and jewelry to the amount of $100
was obtained. Entrance was gained by
opening the front door with a key. The
thief evidently did not spend much time
in the house and made a hurried search
for valuables.
He secured two gold watches, a silver
watch and some minor articles of jewelry.
When Mrs. Lane returned home after
two hours' absence she was surprised tft
find the bedroom In disorder and the con
tents of the' bureau scattered about the
floor. She surmised that the house had
been robbed and a further Investigation
confirmed her . suspicions. It is thought
that the visit of a neighbor during.^her
absence and the repeated knockmgs^ on
the door frightened away the thief.
The rooms of Mrs. Osgood on Seven
teenth street near Church wera entered
in a similar way on Thursday and $40 in
cash and some Jewelry were stolen.

The condition . of William D. Eng
lish at a late hour to-night was re
ported to be slightly more favorable,
but it was admitted by those around
him that the chances for his re
covery were slight. Dr. D. D. Crowley,
the surgeon In charge of the case, is hope
ful, but that is all. Since the operation
on Saturday Mr. English has been in a
state of collapse and everything that was
possible has had to be done in order to
tide him over the shocTc. The tempera
ture of the patient has been low; In fact,
below normal for the greater part of the
time, and it was not until this evening
that it arose to a fraction of a degree
above the average. On the other hand
the pulse has been high and has been in
the neighborhood of 140 for the greater
part of the time. This Is an indication
of low vitality and an inability on the
part of the system to rally from the
shock of the operation. This lack of vi
tality may be accounted for by age and
by the former operation, which weakened
the system to some extent Mr. English
experiences moments of consciousness,
but they are never of very long duration:
During these moments he converses with
those about him, but only the attendants
and immediate members of his family are
permitted to reach his bedside.
The hospital where Mr. English rests Is
besieged by friends of the sick man, but
the family only have Been admitted. The
best that the physicians will give out Is
the hope that the patient will survive the
usual crisis that follows such an opera
tion, and that he will last for three days.
If he passes this period they hold out a
hope for his recovery. /

two short sets. The exception to the rule
was the second class match between Ed
Flnnegan and Alexander Beyfuss. Their
match was probably the longest and most
stubbornly contested ever played on the
public courts. In each of the first two
pets Beyfuss had. a big lead to overcome.
He did so In both cases, but only at the
sacrifice of his strength. Beyfuss was
more skillful than Flnnegan, but the lat
ter was possessed of better staying quali
ties and won by tiring his opponent.
The "surprise of the second class was the
defeat of Marlus Hotchkiss at the hands
of Foley. G. D. Russell, the ex-champlon
of Michigan, won his matches handily.
The ease with which he disposed of Hor
ace Mann makes his chances of winning
the class look good. If he beats Janes
he will surely win.
In the third class Stewart Gayness, who
has won the cup twice and leads in the
race, won his matches cleverly* and will
meet J. R. Lewis. Gayness lsVgain ex
pected to prove victorious, and will here
after play in the second class.
Herbert Long, who was thought to have
an excellent chance of winning the class,
was badly beaten by Fred Adams. The
latter occasionally plays a strong game,
but Is erratic. Gayness and Adams are
expected to meet In the final.

The opening rounds of the second and
third classes of the class singles tennis
tournament, which was commenced on the
public courts in Golden Gate Park last
Sunday, were played yesterday. The
fourth class, which with the first was
Started a week ago, was completed and
resulted in a victory for Melville Long,
making his second victory.
The final match of the first class, vhich
was scheduled to be played in the after
noon, was postponed, and the spectators
were forced to watch the lower class men
strive for honors. The fog and strong
wind were the cause of postponing the
match. It will be played next Sunday.
The officers concerned In the whipping
probably will be prosecuted. Citizens
here openly say that they should be
lynched.
When Miss de Crist was convicted of
securing Jewelry at Savannah by forged
orders her friends claimed she was in
sane.
With her back mangled. Miss de Crist
was sent to the field to work with ne
groes. She fainted and was found by Su
perintendent Foster, who sent her to the
hospital and bitterly denounced the
brutality.
The disclosure* which have followed
the investigation of the whipping are the
moat shocking that have ever been pub
lished in connection with the penal his
tory of Georgia. , It appears that Miss
de Crist angered Warden Alagood's wife
by complaining about being replaced as
hospital stewardess by a negro. Mrs.
Alagood told her husband to whip Miss
de Crist.
The Warden had the woman brought In
by the guards and had her upper cloth
ing forcibly removed. Then, while Miss
de Crist was held, Alagood struck her
forty times on the back with a leather
strap, nearly every stroke drawing blood.
MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga., Aug. 9.— Misa
Mamie de Crist, known as the "Diamond
Queen," who was whipped at the State
prison farm a few days ago. is in & ser
ious condition. She is hysterical most
of the time and shrieks -continually:
"Don't take off my clothes!" and "Don't
hit me asain." It Is feared that she can
not recover.
Special Dispatch to The. Call.
We then made overtures to Hunter and he
sold us the property. It Is Into this site that
the spur track from our main line has been
operated Tor years. .To comply with the law
we asked the Trustees for a franchise. Then
and not until then, was an opposition manu
factured out of nothing and started. Effort
has been made to show that this crossing
would be a "death trap" : that property values
would be depreciated; that we were Invading a
home district. The fact is. .that -the people
who came to us eaid they would like to get
the lumber mllis out of there and would not
raise a hand to. stop us.
We agreed to move the freight yards to meet
the desires of the people of Berkeley. We are
not compelled to move them. They are on our
own property. But when the way seemed clear
for the establishment of a yard at a suitable
point we agreed not only to clear the yards
out of East Berkeley, but to Improve that loca
tion with a fine depot.
An attempt Is being made to befog the mat
ter with falsa Issues, and unfair agitation. The
Southern Pacific Company is not trying to force
freight yards down the throats of any one ln s
Berkeley. We bought the property under the
express representation that It would be an en
tirely satisfactory move to the surrounding
owners. Now, '.as a cold. matter of fact, there
are Just thirty-two houses In the forty acres
adjacent to the • South Berkeley site. That
means, for example,. less than an average of oiie
house to an Oakland city blocks Some of the
protesting owners live half a mile from the
yard site. -•• It would be much. as if a man on
Fourteenth ¦ street, Oakland, should • protest
against something done on First street.
The company, is willing to pocket its loss on
MORE LAND PURCHASED.
But so far «•« th« agitation over thr> fran
chise Roes I am prepared to prove that the
Southern Pacific Company has not been treated
with good faith. In fact. ahsolut* bad faith
has been shown In this matter 'of the removal
of the freight yards from East Berkeley to
South Berkeley. When we were approached by
citizens of Berkeley to take the yards out of
the center of the town we agreed to move
them, and people from the very section where
the agitation has been fomented to!J us there
would be absolutely no objection If we bought
the lumber mills property.
At that time we could not purchase It be
cause <he owners gave Hunter, the lumberman
first call. He bought It and we purchased a
site on the other side of the street. Later,
however to avoid friction., we were assured
that If we could get the Hunter property all
opposition, would cease. .^-~
Division Superintendent W. S. Palmer
contributed to the controversy to-day by
making a complete explanation, from the
Southern Pacific Company's viewpoint.
Mr. Palmer declared there had been mis
representation of the railroad's position;
that the Oakland Transit people had kept
out of the fleht because they knew that
the Southern Pacific had a right of way
at the point, and that to put In the cross-
Ing meant that the Transit Company had
tired of waiting for a settlement of the
trouble. Superintendent Palmer said:
The Southern Pacific Company's position has
been distorted. AH we ever asked for was a
franchise to operate our cars over a. spur
track Into the Hunter property, which has been
laid there for ten yearn. There Is no quarrel
between the Oakland Transit people and the
company. They knew . the track was there
and have always figured on crossing the track
with their main line up Shattuck avenue.
The only reason there was delay in build
ing: the track crossing; was that we had talked
about changing the angle of our spur track,
movlnif it fifty' or sixty feet tn the event a
franchise should be granted. The street car
people have been wattlns for things to come
to a head so they would not have to tear up
their track crossing and lay a new one when
we should move the track, nut they wero
anxious to go ahead and complete their track
laying, and have therefore built a orosslrg on
the lines of the spur as It Ib laid. To-day
they started to Install the- crossing, and our
men are working with them.
That Is the situation so far as the crossing
Is concerned.
PALMER EXPLAINS.
"I don't think the Transit Company
would put in that crossing unless it knew
what it was about." he said. "There's
an understanding, all right. Well, we'll
make trouble for them, you can just bet.
There'll be a hot time in the old town
when the trustees grant that franchise."
The location of the freight yards will be
decided in two weeks, when Trustee Con
nor returns from a vacation. Three trus
tees—Ryder, Connor and Rickard— are for
removal to South Berkeley and three—
Ferrier, Hoff and Dowd— against it, with
Trustee Staats undecided.
Dr. Woodson Allen of 2117 Ashby ave
nue, one of the speakers at last night's
mass meeting, looked on to-day while the
work was going on and said he thought
there was no use protesting.
But the South Berkeleyans* minds were
disabused this morning when they looked
out of their windows and saw the gang
of Oakland Transit Consolidated men lay
ing crossings in anticipation of the South
ern Pacific's coming. Then they remem
bered that through all the agitation the
Oakland Transit Consolidated had not
helped them, having let them go on mak
ing the best fight they knew how. And
finally they concluded that the Oakland
Transit Consolidated knew all the time
that the Southern Pacific wasn't going to
blockade its traffic and that there was an
understanding between the two great rail
way companies.
Frank P. Wells of 2150 Ward street is
one of those who looked out of his win
dow and saw the work going on this
morning. He Immediately suspected that
the Southern Pacific was attempting to
gain some advantage and hurried after
Street Superintendent Turner and Chief
of Police Kerns. His idea was to get. an
injunction f "against the"* corporation, but
when the officers'said it could not be done
on a Sundav he withdrew. Subsequently
he learned that it was the Oakland
Transit's doings, not the Southern Pa
cific's. .
The gore formed by the Intersection of
Adeline street and Shattuck avenue is the
very place where the Southern Pacific
Company wants to. have its new freight
yards and against which South Berkeley
ans have been protesting.
¦ Up to this morning the people of South
Berkeley labored under the belief that the
Southern Pacific and the Oakland Transit
Company were warring giants, clutching
at each other's throats in the struggle for
advantage. In their efforts to prevent the
Southern Pacific's yards from coming
among them the South Berkeleyans sided
with the. . Oakland Transit Consolidated.
All were agreed that the Southern Pa
cific's sole object In wanting the yards at
Adeline "street and Shattuck avenue lay
in blocking the ferry trains of the new
system. /
This conviction of the Southern Pa
cific's deep intent kept growing stronger
all the time. The Central Improvement
Club was formed, protests were made to
the Board of Trustees and meetings were
held by the angry citizens. It culminated
last night .in. a mass-meeting in Lorln
Hall, whan speeches were made by the
leaders of the protestants.
MINDS ARE DISABUSED.
While South Berkeleyans and West
Berkeleyans and East Berkeleyans have
been engaged in a three-cornered fight
over the removal of the Southern Pacific
Company's freight yards from East
Berkeley to South Berkeley that corpora
tion and the Oakland Transit Company,
which were supposed to be at loggerheads
over a matter of track crossing, have been
lying on their oars waiting developments.
That a perfect understanding as to the
real situation existed all this time was
made manifest to-day when the Oakland
Transit Company, which is preparing the
way for its new ferry train system along
Adeline street, sent a gang of men to
lay two sets of crossing tracks at the In
tersection of Adeline street and Shattuck
avenue.
Berkeley Office San Francisco Call,
2148 Center Street, Aug. 9.
Besides the singing of the choir, Mrs.
John Jackson. Mrs. "William Jenkins and
Mr. Jacobs, the blind singer, rendered
sacred solos.
The temporary Hamilton Church is
16x50 feet and seats 200 people. Every part
of the edifice was crowded at each of the
three services and nine new members
joined the church during the day.
There was but one note of sadness
throughout the exercises and that was
sounded by the pastor, the Rev. Mr. Ox
nam, when he announced the serious, and.
it is feared, fatal Illness of the president
of their board of trustees, John O. Dyer,
who had generously given the first $1000
toward the purchase of the land for the
church. i
The temporary church was prettily dec
orated. A great American flag was
spread across the platform, the sides of
the church and the roof were adorned
with green boughs, at the foot of the
platform were beautiful flowers and the
illumination was adequate and bright.
The Rev. Dr. E. R. Dille preached at
the afternoon service, which was under
the auspices of the Epworth League.
ONE NOTE OF SADNESS.
Bishop Hamilton, said Mr. Oxnam, had
his labor rewarded, for he was enabled
to dedicate the sacred edifice to the serv
ice of God. '"
It was only two weeks ago that it had
been determined to build the portable
church, and In that time, the Rev. Mr.
Oxnam said, even Bishop Hamilton act
an example to the workingmen who were
not doing the work as expeditiously as
they might. The Bishop, s*ld Mr. Ox
nam, took off his coat and, with. shovel
in hand, helped to dig tne ground and
hastened on the construction.
In that locality, said the Bishop, they
had been worshiping in a hall for the
last eleven months, but now they had
their own site, whereon stood their own
place of worship, which would In time be
replaced by a church that would be built
to stand for all time.
BISHOP HELPS DICK _ Qr
The site consists of three plats of- land,
purchased for $7500. That amount "has
been paid and J3000 more was at the- dis
posal of the trustees on condition that
they ¦ raise an additional $1000 yesterday.
At the morning, afternoon and evening
services the offerings of the congregation
even exceeded the thousand dollars, the
sum subscribed being $1016.
There was great rejoicing at the result
and Bishop Hamilton, who had himself
subscribed over $700, performed the dedi
cation with deep thankfulness, for, as lie
said in his . morning sermon to the con
gregation, the great demand for the new
church in the locality testified to the ln^
crease of worshipers.
The new Hamilton Methodist Episcopal
Church was dedicated last night by
Bishop J. W. Hamilton, assisted by the
pastor, the Rev. C. O. Oxnam, and the
Rev. Dr. Case. The present edifice, which
is situated at Waller and Belvidere
streets, near Golden Gate Park, Is a tem
porary structure and is the first of Its
kind to be erected in the city, being con
structed In such a manner, that by the
removal of bolts it can be readily taken
to pieces and can just as easily be rebuilt.
