i has taken a strong: stand in
favor cf the development of the elab

I-ith Lake Morritfs beautification. That
atlonai water park forms the renter
t the creneral scheme of adornment.
t Is proposed to bring: the lake and
s surroundings up to a high state
f improvement, both as to the water
ark itself and to the boulevards and
ark lands in that vicinity.
The merchants' exchange has adopted
"solutions urging- the city council to
!clude in this year's budget provision
>r a fund of not Tess than $50,000 for
me dredging of the lake, the mud to
be "used in filling- the unsightly marsh
south of Twelfth street dam. The di
rectors of the exchange have fallen
Into Hne harmoniously with the plans
of the administration In this regard.
It has been one. of the chief purposes
of, Mayor Mott and his confreres to
forward the reclamation of the lands
Routh of the lake as an important ele»

ment. The administration has also *
successfully overcome obstacles to the
extension of the boulevard on the east
shore of the lake; ».et»d; that work is
going forward satisfactorily. As a
connecting: link in the chain .around,
the lake the purchase,' under the park

property is in hand, as Is the acquisi
tion of the "Willows" bordering the -
west shore.
This Is In abeyance temporarily
awaiting the decision' of the supreme
court as to the validity of the bond *
Issue. City Attorney McElroy said that
the friendly suit ordered by the city 1
council in this connection would *»'c
hastened. No doubt Is expressed by
municipal officials as to the legality of
the bond issue, but owing: to some' fine',
technical questions that have been
raised it was considered best to secure I
a decision from the supreme court. ; A '
favorable decision would give the bonds
a clear arid undisputed- title to validity J
that in the opinion of the city officials *
would tend to increase the competK 3
tion by buyers and net a large pre- 1
mium:to the city. . - 1
-. South of J.-ake Merritt the scheme of ]
fnV^f^a^ri'Aii suggests not only be&utl- •

thought to be desirable In view of the '
use to which Lake Merritt has been- <
put as the scene of holiday aquatic i

before the wrecking. crew could place
the battered coach upon the rails and
.! take It to the repair shops a few miles

ing their search after loot stolen from
freight cars in the West. Oakland yards

of employes who have been arrested. •
All kinds, of merchandise, wearing,
apparel, wines, 'cigars .md liquors In
great quantity and variety have been
stolAi. Deckhands on the freight
boat Transit committed many of- the
thefts and some of' the men have been
caught and fined. Confessions led the
police and railroad detectives to the
hiding places "of much loot. ;But. sincej
tho arrests there has undoubtedly been.
j a scramble on the part of undetected
! thieves to get rid of their loot.
Along the bay shore, boxes of mer
chandise thrown overboard % from the
freight boats have been recovered and
i the police say that the stuff 'had been :
j quickly dug' out of hiding places and
i disposed of so that it would not be in- J
j criminating.
Arthur Larsen, foreman of the
freight handlers on the Southern Pa
cific freight boat Transit, was arrested |
today and detained pending Investi
gation. He has been, accused of 'being
a member of the gang that broke: into
the freight cars as they were being
transferred across the bay. Larsen, ac
cording to the police, has been in
trouble before this ease was uncovered.

METEORS AND STARS

the Materials of Which ;
They Are Made
OAKLAND, July 19.. — Before a large
gathering of professors, teachers and
students, Brother Potamian, j. F. ) S. C,
D. S., of Manhattan college. New York,
delivered the first of his series of public
lectures this afternoon at the Christian
brothers' .summer school, In session at
St. Mary's college..
Brother ! Potamlan selected as his
topic -"Meteors and Meteorites," and
treated incidentally.^of the nature ;of
other worlds.- He spoke of the wander
ing of the "meteor before it
became a meteorite and 'thence ' a ; por-;
tion of our planet. \u0084A; study of their
material, character made it evident. that
they were identically of \ the same] sub
stance as 'the matter - of \u25a0 which \u25a0 '\u25a0• the
earth was composed. Not a ! single new,
elementary substance could be foundiln
any of the myriads of specimens that
have been' examined.. •
The spectroscope, showed- -further
that the • stars r' that I twinkled in 7 the
depths of space, were also made; up" of
glowing constituents : which differed ; In
no . essential feature ,'\u25a0; from the white
hot' materials that form • the > body, of
the. sun." ' ; ; V /
The natural 'conclusion was that the
entire universe of matter, whether, sun,
stars, planets, ' Comets: or nebulae, > was
substantially .the same. .The second of
the .series will be given ; by Brother Po-'
tamlan next- Friday afternoon at 3

.The appearance,, of \he prisoner's
mother; and. the testimony which she
gave to show, that: her boy was not a
- hardened culprit, -but one' who could b«
reformed, caused the women spectators
to sob and^brought tears. to the eyes^of
many > men.; Mrs. Parr said her son
was losing his 'eyesight -and that,
though, he had received the best treat
ment obtainable, vision had all but left •
one. eye. -In spite "of this affliction,
which began about three years ago, she
said her boy had worked hard to help
the "family during the illness .of his
father. , 'yi'-J ?- |
Mrs. Parr, told of h<?r boy's good homo
life, and the devotion he.. had always
shown his younger sister and dwelt at
length on .his patience and kindness
throughout all his trouble. The story
of his love for. her ..formed a chapter
in .itself. -Mrs. Parr\ testified that onoe
when Kalph was seven months old 'she
sustained a- severe. -fall while she was
carrying him in, her -arms and. 'rather
than: risk^ her child.- -she had -neglected
to -protect, herself: and \ suffered a per
manent injury « to her back. Knowing
o,f this- she. said Ralph had always.ex
pressed his gratitude and his. intention
of \u25a0 repaying ; her witha life of ( care and
consideration.;'.- ".. ' - .
.That he had failed somewhat she ad
mitted, but it, was '"only."' when his occu
pation.had; taken ', him from, home and
among undesirable acquaintances while
.yetf.'lnnexperlonced in. the world. She
knew • that If given an opportunity his
devotion Ao , her 'and \ the counsel, she
could "give--' him, '.in the future would
result in his "reformation. '..':.

; When $6 Would Have
Freed Her
OAKLAND, Jufy 19- — Complaining
bitterly of the neglect of her husband.
Charles ICucks Jr.. yho allowed her to
remain 4S hoars In tie city jail, though :
$8 .v.'ould have secured her release on .
bail. Mrs. Nellie Kuck» Jr. today, when .
| discharged, because n<> one appeared
against her, expressed her opinion
freely concerning her relatives and her
spouse.
"They knew very well \ never threat
ened to shoot my mother in law." said
Mrs. Kucks. "and the police knew it,
too, for when thoy arrested ma I had
no revolver. They had me arrested as
drunk when I went to their place at
1015 Myrtle street to get my dog. My
1 dog leaped into my lap when he saw
me and showed plainly that he knew :
me. but they refused to give him to me,
atfd when I insisted they -caused my
arrest.
"My husband showed Ingratitude t» \u25a0
me as I never saw* It before In my life.
For him I swore away my honor to
save his neck when he was being tried
for killing, a gambler named Ed Ferrel
in Reno, Nev. I testified that Ferrel
had locked me In a room and piled me
.with liquor and my testimony got my
husband off with a sentence of 13
months. 'Otherwise he would have gone
up for life or would hay«( been hanged.
While he was Ln the penitentiary I
worked as a waitress In Reno to be
ne«ir him and- 1 pawned my. piano and
jewels- to provide him with decent fare.
When he got out he left without com.- ,
ing to see^ m?. Today they did not
dare. to press the charges against me."
The husband said that his wifejeame
to the homo of his parents while In
toxicated and Insulted them and finally
threatened to shoot. He admitted hav
ing jewels in his possession which be
longed to< her. but said . she cared
nothing about the jewels, as she could
get them when ahe wanted them. The •
separation from her pet dog grieved
Mrs. Kucka more than anything; else .
and she said that If she could only jet
him back she would be happy.

A Lazy Liver
May be only a tired liver, or. a starved |
liver. It would be a stnpid as well as |
savage thing to beat a weary or starred t
man because he lagged in his work. So '
J in treating the lagging, torpid liver It is !
: a great mistake to lash It with strong !
drastic drugs. A torpid liver is but an I
Indication of an ill-nourished, enfeebled '
body whose organs are weary with. over •
work. Start with the stomach and allied f
organs of digestion and.- nutrition. Put •
them in working order and see how j
quickly your liver will beconio active. I
Dr. Plerce's Golden Medical Discovery i
has made many marvelous cures of "liver i,
trouble'Vby its wonderful controlof ths
organs of digestion and nutrition. It re-
stores the normal activity ,of the stomach,"
Increases the secretions of the blood-mak-
ing glands, cleanses the system from poi-
