cafe will be' taken to- preserve the
suckers against injury. They will be
.\vrapped with burlap and excelsior,
so that they will be protected from the

HEAL ESTATE TKAXSACTION3. .
The questions that have arisen will
be discussed at the next meeting of
The Buard of Education.
To offset the opinion members of the
board hope to arrange a contract cf
sale that shall provide for a surrender
ti> the board of all intere5t payments
on such bonds as fhall not be immedi
ately drawn upon. 'Unless some course
ehall be devised to enable the Board to
inove along Its originally planned lines
the State wilt be unable, to make an
Investment in the bonds as the Board
of Examiners had hoped to do. There
is in the State school lands fund $500,
000. which is available por purchase of
school bonds. The State board has
expressed a desire to buy that amount
cf Oakland school bonds.
This p'.an was dsvised that Interest
payments might be saved- pending the
development of plans, for new build-
Inrs. The general Idea had been to
use about T2O0.O00 5n the immediate
purchase of new sites and additions
to old lots for school, buildings and to
eper.d about $300,000 in the erection of
two new school buildings.

• The Board of Education is in a quan
dary over the opinion given by the
Pistrict Attorney, which declares that
the school bemd i?sue of $360,000 must
be sold as a whole and' not in parcels,
as was contemplated by the board.
It had been tn« purpose of the school
directors to sell at once not more than
$500,000 of the iFsue and tu reserve the
remainder until such time as it should
be .considered advisable to. dispose of
them. . ' . .
The' parties will meet to-night and
try to effect some sort of a compro
mise as to the disposition of the
children. «
Judge Ogden stated that It had been
with reluctance that he had listened
to the last two days' testimony.
"\Vhile there might be room for
doubt as to the guilt of the wife from
what had been testified to." he said,
"the letters which had paEsed between
the- pair made the proof as positive
as though all of their acts had been
done in the light of day. The very
denials of the wife only go to make
the proof against her more con
clusive."
At the close of a sensational day's
testimony in the Richards divorce
case the end came suddenly this after
noon. Judge Ogden without hesitation
giving the decree of divorce to the
husband. Unless the pair make some
arrangement between themselves the
three children will go to the father.
Damaging testimony of improper
conduct on the part of the wife with
George D. Cotton, who holds a good
position with the. Southern Pacific
Company, was introduced. Attorneys
Walsh and Pulcifer, for the husband,
then stated that while there was more
cumulative evidence they were Trilling
to submit the case and also willing
to stipulate that the other side could
tall Mrs. Richards arid Cotton and
that ¦ they would make a general
denial. With this understanding the
case was submitted.

" The Claremont Country Club has
become the possessor of on&'of the
most ideal homes /or such an or
ganization in the country. Deeds were
placed on /record to-day by which it
becomes the owner of 134 acres of
land, embracing what is known as the
Rockridse Park tract, the Horatio P.
Liverinore . place ami Thermal Vale,
which is to be .converted into one of
the most beautiful and ' attractive
pleasure grounds to be found any
where in America.
A large portion of the tract is al
ready beautifully laid out with trees
of many years' growth, handsome
shrubbery, vines and arbors. It also
includes the Livermore home, a house
well constructed for the purposes of
the club. It contains thirty-four
rooms and is to be further enlarged
by the erection of an extensive porch
and other additions, at an expense of
$15,000. "
The purchase is the result of nearly
a year and a half's work. For a long
time little or no progress could be
made in the matter. The outlay will
involve the expenditure of $150,000.
There are to be golf links, tennis
courts, croquet grounds, with pro
visions for playing polo, hand ball and
other recreations. The site of " this
home is at the foot of the Contra
Costa hills and within fifteen minutes'
ride by carriage froltf?lhe center of
the city.
