NEWS OF THE COUNTIES BORDERING SAN FRANCISCO BAY
NO FUND FOR ROADS
IS BRIDGE'S REPLY
Request of Alameda's Mayor
for Improvement of High
ways Meets Denial
Thoroughfares Impassable, but
Extravagance of Supervi
sors Prevents Repair
ALAMEDA, Feb. 26.— Although re
peated requests have b.~en made to the
county board of supervisors by city. 1
officials and citizens that the county
roads leading to the northern ap
proaches of the Fruitvale avenue and
the High street bridges across tl» tidal
canal be repaired and placed in # a con-
ditlon bo that the highways would not
be dangerous to horses and destructive
to vehicles because of the innumerab).»
chuck holes, hummocks, ruts and ob
structions, co Improvements of any
character have been made to the roads,
which are in the district represented by
Supervisor William Bridge.
Mayer E. K. Taylor, at the instance
of the city council, recently called upon
Tt "^e and demanded to know why the ,
tax veyers of Alameda. wh* pay into th*
county treasury nearly $150,000 a y.-ar.
\u25a0were not given something in return In
the way of passable roads leading Into
the city from the east end.
NO MOXEY, HE SAYS
According to the report made back to
the city council by the mayor. Super
visor Bridge said that the rough and j
dangerous roadways had not been put ;
in a eaf.* and passable condition be- ,
cause "there was no money in the eoun- j
ty treasury with which to do the work." i
The road running from the Fruitvale (
rtstion of the Southern Pacific company.
along Fruitvale avenue south to the !
northern approach of the Fruitvale
av/riue draw span over the tidal canal j
is about 25 feet wide, but only the cen
ter of the highway is used by the few !
vehicles that are driven over the road j
by the fearless drivers willing to take
a chance with their horses and wagons
on the bump the bump route.
The middle of the road is a series of
hummocks and holes and both sides
are riled with dry mud that has set
into hard ruts, through which a vehicle
could not well be pulled without being
strained and otherwise damaged. Driv
ing on this bo called road has to be
done slowly, as the hummocky way is
is not a respecter of springs, tires and
axl^s.
MIST MAKE DETOUR
The Fruitvale avenue road is the
most direct route into the city from
Fruitvale, but owing to its almost lm
passafcle condition many vehicles that
would otherwise use the road come into
Alameda by way of Twenty-third ave
nuft and Park avenue, the latter having
be.e-n lately put in good condition by the
city of Oakland, it being within the
corporate limits of that municipality.
• The eastern portion of the "cutoff"
road from the northern approach of the
Fruitvale avenue bridge to High street
is in a condition as bad as the Fruitvale
avenue road. The "cutoff" road is
used by funeral corteges from Alameda
to Evergreen cemetery near Seminary
avenue, and many complaints have been
ihaSe by persons who are compelled to
travel that way. During the late rain 6
rigs were frequently mired and stalled
in "Fruitvale avenue and In the "cutoff"
roads. It was next to impossible for a
team to move anything but a light load.
TESTS POWER OF AUTO '
High street, from where it is inter
acted by the "cutoff" road to the Hay-
Ward road, 1s a continuous range of
hummocks, little hills and big holes
that test the strength and power
of an automobile to negotiate.
. All. that portion of Alameda east of
Grand street forms a part of Supervisor
Bridge's district, and it was here that
he was given the votes that enabled
him barely to defeat his nearest com
petitor, Charles Heyer of Hayward.
Bridges promised Alamedans during his
campaign that if elected he would make
It his particular business to see that all
of the county roads leading into Ala
meda would be repaired and put in first
class condition. This promise was not
made good and the highways are now
In a worse state than ever they were
under the administration of any former
board of supervisors.

LEAVITT'S LAUNCH
TAKES THE WATER
Half Day's Work Necessary to
Get Trim Little Craft Out
of Her Wreck
BELVEDERE, Feb. 26. — Friends of
William Leavitt, .clubman, good fellow
and general favorite, are today serious
ly considering the Import of his words,
"He who laughs last laughs best," ut
tered In reply to jests heaped upon
LeavJtt's head in connection with and
in addition to his new motor boat,
which met disaster through the break
ing of the scaffolding during the
launching ceremonies.
Leavitt, who has spent more than six
weeks in the construction of the craft,
saw the object of his handiwork ap
parently completely -wrecked by the
breaking of the supports which had
"been erected by his assembled friends
from material supplied from the side
of his pretty bungalow. Some of his
friends are cruel enough to declare
that Leavitt \u25a0 said a ' number of other
things in addition to the words quoted.
A special launch today brought five
of the most expert boat builders about
the bay to repair the damage. * It re
quired a half day's, work to make
things shipshape again, also the serv
ices of a number of husky deck hands
borrowed from the ferry boat Tiburon
to launch the trim little craft. Inci
dentally the launching, while not near
ly so exciting as that previously .at
tempted, was. far more practicable and
resulted in complete success. The boat
has developed surprising speed and oc
casioned considerable comment among
yachtsmen who witnessed her trial run.
The same gay. party which was to
have been aboard last evening will
have that pleasure tonight, and Captain
Leavltt's steward has stated that the
craft's lookers are well provided.
The vessel has not been named, and
Leavitt is undecided which one to select
from the many suggested. The launch
Electrla issued a challenge today for a
10 mile course race, and tho new launch
is expected to accept the challenge.

WOMAN INVENTS
RECORD PROTECTOR
Mrs. Jessie M. Higley of Niles
Secures Two Patents from
Government
Other Device. Is for Attaching
Flounces to * Frame of
- Meta! Beds
NILES.'Feb. 26— -Inventive genius in
a- woman may not be rare, as new ideas
of- utility go, but practical Inventions
by; women protected by United States
patents are very, few in number when
compared -with; the" thousands of letters
patent issued annually to inventors of
the sterner sex. « Nlles;has a woman
inventor who ; now holds '\u25a0 two federal
patents for useful devices, and her
name, is Mrs. Jessie M. Higley, wife of
Seward Higley, the Southern Paciflo
station agent. Her,' devices are a felt
back protector for the preservation of
phonograph records, and a unique con
trivance for attaching flounces around
the lower part of metal beds. ' \u25a0'.'\u25a0
. Mrs. Klgley has \u25a0 a mind quick to
grasp the drawbacks in articles com
monly used, and suggestions whereby
things majj be improved are not Idly
laid aside b*y her, but put into practical
demonstration. Her latest device of
general Importance, that of the felt
protector for phonograph records, Is
already being manufactured and will
shortly . be placed on the market In
all stores where phonographs or graph
ophones are sold.
Acting on the knowledge that every
body Is aware by experience ' of the
difficulty of keeping records intact
through constant handling, and realiz
ing how • soon their fine tone becomes
harsh and grating to the ear, she cre
ated a' simple* and convenient felt back
piece for each of her own records,
one inch larger in diameter than the
record, and : then applied for and se
cured letters patent from the govern
ment. Its cost ,is. but a trifle, and
Mrs. Higley claims the. article will pre
serve the tone of the record indefi
nitely.

Coroner's Jury Decides Death
Results From Pneumonia,
* Not From Wound
OAKLAND, Feb. 26.— According tv.
the verdict of a coroner's jury this
morning William H. Chambers, who
was shot In the hand at Elmhurst by
Dr. W. S. Halpruner last January, died
from bronchial pneumonia, superin
duced by chronic alcoholism, and not
from blood poisoning as a result of the
wound, as had been intimated by the
aged mother of the dead man. Mrs.
Halpruner, wife of Chambers' assail
ant, had also expressed the opinion
that Chambers was dead as a result of
the wound.
Many dramatic Incidents have been
connected with the case. Halpruner
shot Chambers following a quarrel
and after giving himself up to the
authorities was acquitted of the
charge on a plea of eelf-defense. Dr.
Halpruner insisted that Chambers had
alienated the affections of Mrs. Hal
pruner and a divorce suit is now pend
ing against Mrs. Halpruner, the com
plaint accusing Chamber*.
Among the witnesses examined at
the inquest were Mrs. Haipruner and
Mrs. Chambers, the latter the mother
of / the dead man. Mrs. " Halpruner
created a scene by weeping while giv
ing her testimony and was finally ex
cused. She said that sha had known
