NEWS OF OAKLAND, BERKELEY, ALAMEDA, HAYWARD AND SAN LEANDRO
MORE CARLINES FOR
CITY OF BERKELEY
Extensive Improvements Are
Projected by Key Route and
Traction Company
. BERKELEY, July 20.— Although no
"Jftci&l announcement has been made
by the Key Route company and its al
lied corporation, the Oakland traction
company, plans are underway here for
the extension of lines in northeast
Berkeley and Ocean View.
The new scheme of the Key Route
and traction companies encompasses
the entire district in the neighborhood
of Spruce street with a possible ex
tension of the Sacramento Key Route
line north In Ocean View to the new
Sunset cemetery with an extension of
the Shattuck avenue Key Route line
up "Walnut street.
According to the plans now laid, the
Grove street line of the traction com
pany, which now has a terminal near
Marin avenue. Northbrae. will be ex
tended to Indian Rock avenue, to Mari
posa street across a private right of
way to Spruce street, completing the
loop of the present Oxford-Spruce
street line.
WILL Bt'ILD I.IXB
For the time being, at least, the pro
posed road down Marln avenue west
erly through Oc«an View connecting
with San Pablo avenue line will be
abandoned, but assurances have been
given that this line will be built in
the near future to shut out a compet
ing system. .. - ; .
During the last week another block
• * track has been laid and the road
bed carefully ballasted for upe. Work
trains are always in evidence with a
gang of laborers and it seems to be
the intention of the Key Route to push
the Sacramento line to early comple
tion.
In Ocean View, at the northern end
of the Sacramento street line, there Is
also considerable activity, which is
taken to indicate the joining of the
two ends in the near future.
Surveys were also taken for a more
. ompreheneive line in Ocean View lead-.
ing northward and easterly into the
!*\u2666!!*. This line would pa^s by the
Sunset cemetery and would be of bene
lit to the ranchers north of here. It :
would likewise serve to cut out possible j
.nmpetition with installation of the
South*--" Pacific loop in Ocean View, a
little farther south.
MRVETOn* KEPT BUSY
At the same time the Southern Pa
cific company is not idle and has had'
purveyors busy on its Ninth, Cali
fornia and Shattuck avenue loop.
Grades have been estimated and the
!«»vel is already cut at Berryman street
for the line.
The surveyors are at present work
ing north of Eunice street, where It
will be necessary to have a 20 foot fill
before the road can ' be laid.
Tfce first Indication of the proposal
of the Key Route company came at
the Berkeley council meeting this
morning when it was learned that ihe
corporation has purchased a private
right of way between its terminal
nt University and Shattuck avenues
and Walnut street.
The matter came up In the form of
a protest of the property owners along
\u25a0\Valnut street against the proposed
opening of the street from Berkeley
way to Hearst avenue. It was openly
charged at the meeting by a number
of the protestants that tjie Key Route
company was endeavoring to have the
residents of "Walnut street pay for the
opening of the street along which Its
trains would run In the near future.

of the city council last night resembled
the dress rehearsal of a mob scene, in
censed taxpayers with voluble protests

has refused to pay an overdraft for
$1,000 on the defunct Union national
bank on the terms to which he agreed
when he secured the money, Decem
ber 15. 1904.
Receiver H. N. Morris notified the

GRINNING APE IS
DEFIER OF POLICE
Perched on High Flag Pole Ani
mal Eludes all Attempts
at Its Capture
BERKELEY, July 20.— Parched oh a
flag pole erected on the three story
home of Mrs. S. TV. Pilcher, 2250 Ful
ton street, a pet ape scratched his ribs
and chattered in monkey talk that he
would not come down to the members
of the police and fire department, col
lege professors and a score of society
people of this city who endeavored to
rout him from his perilous position.
The more the hubbub below the
keener the delight of the ape, who
seemed to enjoy the proceedings, much
to the disgust of the besiegers, who
coaxed, threatened, cajoled and begged
the ape to return home.
The crowd tired of the long waif
sooner than the ape. and after his
would be captors had gone home frr
supper he came from the. steep slope
and hied himself to the university cam
pus.
A class in zoology at the summer ses
sion made the discovery of the animal
near East hall this afternoon, arid there
was again the hue and cry and again
the call after the fire and police depart
ments, augmented by the poundmaster.
The ape had. however, learned some
thing with his experiences, and before
his pursuers could approach he fled In
the bushes and was lost to view.
The animal was sent from India by
L.e*s H. Patty to his mother, Mrs. A- H.
Patty of 2123 Kittredge street, and has
been at large now for three days.

SEEKING AFFINITY
OF HER HUSBAND
Angry Woman Declares She. ls
Wife of Walter J.
Gallagher
ALAMEDA, July 20.— Loudly pro
claiming that she was the wife of Wal
ter J. Gallagher, a San Francisco at
torney, and that she 'was in Alameda
looking for her husband's affinity, a
woman unknown to the officials created
a scene In the Citizens' bank this aft
ernoon. So boisterous did the woman
become in her conduct that a call for
the police was pent in.
Patrolman C. E. Keyes responded and
persuaded the excited woman to-leave
the bank and board a. westbound car in
Santa Clara avenue.
The woman was accompanied by a
boy about 5 years old. When she en
tered tha bank she aanounced that she
was the wife of Attorney Walter J.
Gallagher and demanded that she be
allowed to draw money which, she as
serted. Gallagher had deposited. . When
her demand was refused the woman
became angry and said:
"I came to. Alameda to find my hus
band's affinity. He Vias been spending
all his time with her and
me. I would just like to" meet . her
once and I would put a stop to this
affinity business."
The bank officials thought the woman
was either insane or intoxicated.

BOOTLED MILK BAD
FOR SMALL CHILD
Dr. M. E. Kibbe Says Deaths
Are in Racks of Bottle
Fed IWants
BERKELEY, July 20. — That three
grades of milk should be sold, with
gradations In price, is the opinion of
Dr. Minora E. Kibbe of the: California
club of San Francisco in her address
to the congress of reform of the Cali
fornia W. C. T. U. in session in this
city this afternoon. Dr. Kibbe spoke
at length on the subject of "Pure Milk"
and told of the movement in its behalf
by the clubwomen of San Francsco, as
sisted by other organizations.
"There is no reason," declared the
speaker, "that skimmed milk, commer
cial milk and certified milk should be
sold at a flat rate of 10 cents a quart.
Each is "good, for Its purpose, but for
saving the lives of the babies certified
milk should be insisted upon.
"Between 75 and 90 per cent of the
deaths .of infants are those fed upon
bottled «mllk. The women of this state
should bend their efforts toward-im
proving the sanitary conditions of the
dairies and - saving the lives of the
babies." .
Mrs. S. , M. M. Woodman discussed a
paper on "Bible Wines," to show that
the wine used by. Christ was of the un-*
fermented kind. She made a number
of references to ancient writers to prove
her-polnt. A feature of the afternoon
session was the singing of a chorus
of Chinese children. Tonight Rev. N. A.
Davis of New Zealand delivered" an ad
dress on "New Zealand on the Fighting
Line." The session of the congress will
be continued tomorrow and Friday.

FUGITIVE BLAMES
LAWSON'S SYSTEM
Captured Embezzler Tells Police
Boston Financier Led Him
to Speculate
OAKLAND, July 20.— Frank W. New
burg, accused by the Fox River butter
company of Boston. Mass.. of embezzle
ment, was arrested this morning at 667
Eleventh street by Detective Kyle on
advices 'from'' the' east, and is held in
the city jail for extradition. Com
munications sent by the fugitive to a
Boston bonding company fell into the
hands of the metropolitan police, with
the result that Newburg's hiding place
became known.
The former employe of the butter
company has lived in Oakland for four
months.' He Is said to have" stolen
$1,149 from the firm February Q and to
have left his wife and home a few
days later. ».-
Newburg blamed the . manipulations
of Thomas W. Lawson, Boston's author
of "Friday, the Thirteenth" . and of
"Frencied Finance," for his downfall.
"Lawson advertised to the public to
>uy copper stock," said the prisoner to
the police, "and I used the company's
money to speculate. I got pinched, like
others who heeded the publicist, and
I am arrested for my ohance taking."
During his hiding* Newburg has been
employed at various Oakland places as
a clerk and conducted himself very
quietly, for fear of arousing .police
suspicions. He is 33 years of age and
carries' a' little of the Boston book
learning with him. Among the writ-
Ings he confesses to' having read were
the magazine utterances of- the cele
brated sage of the Lawson pink, and it
was admiration for Lawson the re
former, avers -Newburg, which made
him a victim of Lawson the financier.
