Berkeley Council Plans
Improvement of Streets
If Scheme Is Carried Out the City Will Have
Many Beautiful Thoroughfares
BERKELEY, July 25. — Comprehensive
plans far the improvement of the city
on a broad scale are being considered
by the city council of this city, and
should the proposed plans, which have
been tentatively adopted, be finally
voted reforms in street proceedings on
a more elaborate scale than ever before
attempted will be carried out. These
are the plans which the council pro
poses to carry out:
I—Widening1 — Widening of Claremont avenue.
2 — Opening of Walnut street to Shat
tuck avenue.
3 — Widening of Telegraph avenue
from ©wight way to Sather gateway at
the university.
4 — Widening of Hopkins street from
San Pablo avenue.
s—Widening5 — Widening and opening of Gilman
street from San Pablo avenue to Hop
kins street.
6 — Widening of Center street from
Shattuck avenue to Grove street.
7 — Widening of Grove street from
Center street to Berkeley.
The proposed plans for the betterment
of the city streets are along so called
city arteries of travel. "In each case
should the council carry out its present
Intention main thoroughfares will be.
created and boulevards made which will
make tho city unique among those of
the coast. •
The several portions of the city are
considered in the plans proposed, as
well as the future development of
Berkeley northward and its internal ex
pansion in the less populated districts.
The Claremont avenue widening, the
bitter bone of contention of the old
board of trustees, will probably be car
ried out according to the present plans
of the council In their informal discus
sions. This widening, to allow a double
Key Route track on the street, if need
be. and to create a boulevard leading
to the Claremont hotel and district Im
mediately adjacent and the tunnel road
and abutting districts, is regarded by
the council as of paramount interest.
PROPERTY OWNERS FAVOR PLANS
In this case, as well as tho other con
siderations before the council, the prop
erty owners in the district affected by
the proposed widening of street open
ing will be given every opportunity to
state their position, and should the
council agree that an injury is being
done the city by the proposed work ac
tion will be stopped and the tentative
plan abandoned.
The best interests of the city will be
of the greatest Importance, however,
and In the execution of the proposed
plans for the street proceedlngs^the ad
vancement of the entire city will be the
crucial question for solution.
The matter of the opening of Walnut
street is the result of action of the
board In rescinding street proceedings
for the opening of the street between
Berkeley way and Hearst avenue, af
fording an entrance Into University and
Shattuck avenues through Home street.
This was deemed unwise, and the coun
cil has laid plans for the opening of the
street to Stanford place, the terminal of
the Key Route company.

Gather the Evidence
OAKLAND. July 25. — George R. Fran
cis, the room thief whom Patrolman
Brackett captured in "West Oakland two
days ago in a hand to hand encounter,
has confessed the extent of his activi
ties to the police, implicating hfmself
In about 10 charges of burglary. Until
the police had obtained evidence of his
guilt In each of the cases the prisoner
denied his guilt.
The last identification of Francis as a
thief was made by Mrs. A. S. Larkin of
2270 San Jose avenue, Alameda, which
was the first intimation the police had
that Francis extended his operations
Into the Encinal City. Mrs. Larkin
said that the man rented a room from
her and during her absence from the
house that same day took two gold
watches, a heavy gold chain *nd a
locket. > "--ii •\u25a0*\u25a0

caped to San Diego
LOS ANGELES, July 25. — The police

THE MYSTERY OF
fHE BRIDAL ROOM
America's Premier Magician
and Wonder Worker at the
BELL
THEATER
This 4 week a great bill
throughout — .9 Features
THE SAN FRANCISCO aCALL,^ MONDAY; .JULY; 26,^:1909,
private right of way to gain a passage
way into Walnut street for. an extension
of their North Berkeley system will find
a stumbling block, however, In the
proposal of the council, once the open
ing of the street is made, in the crea
tion of a boulevard of the street,
making, it a strictly, residence thor
oughfare.
The widening of Telegraph avenue
proposed is a result of the petition of
merchants along the avenue for i a
street with greater commercial possi
bilities. At the present time the ave
nue from Dwlght way is cramped by
the double tracks of tho traction com
pany, which renders it unfit for busi
ness purposes.
As there are a number of large
apartment houses and hotels the coun
cil will in widening this street make
an ordinance affecting future building
in order to bring the property lines
several feet back on each side. As a
temporary* expedient, however, the
sidewalk may be narrowed. >
The widening of Hopkins street and
the widening and opening of Gilman
street, the latter project having already
been made public, is in line with the
policy of the council to make these
streets arteries of travel in a district
which with the advent of the Sacra
mento and California street loops of
the Southern Pacific and Key Route
companies, will be one of the largest
and most populous sections of the
city.
WILL, ALLOW MUCH FREEDOM
The widening of Center street/to the
width of the street east of Shattuck
avenue will allow greater freedom in
travel between the business center, and
the new city hall at the corner of
Allston way and Grove street. Center
street west of Shattuck avenue is sev
eral feet narrower than the block east
and the street will probably be made
uniform on both sides of Shattuck
avenue.
Grove street from Center to Berke
ley way may be widened for the same
reason. At the city hall the street
lines narrow and change the general
appearance of the street. Although
the council has not considered the plan
of widening the street as proposed to
the north city line, a majority are said
to be in favor of the widening of the
street between Center street and
Berkeley way. . .
CAST BE DEVELOPED EVENLY
The program of street work outlined
by the council is perhaps one of the
most important plans proposed - for
execution ever attempted by a city
board. While the program will take
years for completion if adopted Its ul
timate execution will place Berkeley
In a position to develop evenly In all
sections with easy egress and ingress
to the various parts of the community.
The property owners with whom the
council have discussed the plans are
highly enthusiastic and the board will
have many active supporters of their
new ideas for the betterment of
Berkeley.

Theatergoers
OAKLAND, July 25.— Alblnl. the
magician, Is the chief attraction at the
Bell theater this week and his mysti
fying performances are exciting a great
deal of interest among the patrons of
the house. His newest Illusion, "The
Bridal Chamber," is puzzling in the ex

"William Wlndom is a refreshing de
parture from the usual blackface come
dian In his character study of the col

on with his audiences from the very
first. Mabel Carew and Jack Van Eppe
sing a number of catchy songs in smart
style and their changes -of costume
were bewildering.
Jack Wyatt and Blanche Rice, In a
comedy skit called "The Unexpected";
Gillihan and Murray, blackface come
dians,* and the Allen sisters, dainty
songstresses and dancers, all proved
popular with their audiences. - ;
\ "The Artist's Dream," one of the
principal features of the bill, is a fan
tastic conception wherein an artist,
falling into slumber at his piano, pours
forth his dream of ambition In music,
while the model of his ideals, Imper
sonated by Mile. Rialta, poses for his
visionary masterpieces. The skit is a
rather daring one, as the draperies and
costuming are very' limited, and the
pale lights playing upon the beautiful
model produce effects bo startling as to
bring forth numerous gasps from the
audience.

IN BIT OF OPERA
Excellent Bill Is Given This
Week at the Oakland
Orpheum
OAKLAND, July 25.— Sunday crowds
packed the Oakland Orpheum today
and throughout the afternoon and night
reveled \u25a0in the toothsome vaudeville
dainties that i the Orpheum people
spread on the stage for their delecta
tion. It was one of the prettiest bills
of the year.
The honors were evenly divided
' between the operatic performance
entitled "The Patriot" which Hel
ena Frederick and company of a dozen
people - present, and the work of Char
lotte. Parry, who is known as a "pro
tean marvel." Miss Parry portrays
seven characters, running the' gamut of
stage portraiture, male; and female,
each character being so distinct from
those it has preceded as to seem
absolutely a, new character. The play
in which Miss Parry appears is called
"The Comstock' Mystery."
Music lovers will be delighted with
"The Patriot" and with Helena Fred
erick. The opera is a high class offer
ing. Every voice that Is utilized in
the production is of high grade, most
of % the singers having been grand opera
people. Miss Frederick Is especially at
tractive as fa prima donna. \u25a0 Elaborate
stage effects and beautiful costumes,
all of colonial stamp, give the act a
pretentious appearance, which was not
I the least part of its attractiveness to
the crowds. • ,
The greatest girl juggler in Europe,
Selma Braatz, demonstrated how a
woman may . perform all the juggling
feats that have hitherto been done ex
clusively by male jugglers.
The three Leightons returned to the
Orpheum to receive' an uproarious
greeting from the regulars, who re
membered with delight the act which
the Leightons gave last year. "A One
Night Stand In Minstrelsy," the act is
called. It abounds In bright comedy;
some very good songs are rendered by
the Leightons.
"Fun'tn a Schoolroom;" as stirred up
by the Redpath Napanees, proved to be
a delightful morsel given for the
vaudeville devotees to enjoy/ Other
holdovers were the three sisters Ath
letas, Armstrong and Clark and Londe
and Tilly. _

at least 200 delegates from outside
sections of the state besides the rep
resentatives from San Francisco and
Alameda counties. The importance of
the subjects to be discussed and th«
prominence of the men who will speak
should make the sessions of the con
vention Intensely interesting.

talk on 'Colonization.' and De Witt H.
Gray of Fresno, chairman of the legis
lative committee, will read a report of
wide interest to real estate men." •
. A general invitation to attend the
convention will be extended by the

tion or not.
"Our Idea is to give the outside real
estate men a chance to see the char
acter of the work of the federation,"
said Hubert , Bryant, president of the
Oakland real estate association. "We
are raising a large sum of money for
an entertainment fund. It Is probable
that after these men become acquainted
with the work we are doing, they will
want to join our federation."
