PHOT OGRAPHED IN STREET REHEARSAL
SOCIETY HAS REAL
ENGINE AT PLAY
Rehearsal Held Out of Doors
With Sorority House as Part .
of Stage Setting
BERKELEY, March 2.— lt is not
often that a real fire engine and the
rest of the paraphernalia for fire fight
ing come fresh from* a firehouse with
the fire chief in command to serve as
stage properties for a show which has
the street as the front of the stage and
a sororrty house at the back of the
-footlights."
This is what the girls of the Mask
and Dagger society had for their one
act rehearsal last Friday for the play
which they will stage in Oakland March
17. The scene was so realistic that
some of the neighbors thought that
the women of the Kappa Alpha Theta
house had better move to escape the
flames.
The smoke was furnished only by the
fire engine, but enough poured out of
the funnel to give the rehearsal more of
a businesslike appearance. The climax
in the act comes with the rescue of
the heroine, Mildred Martin, by the
hero, George Manship.
The women had a photographer on
hand to make their rehearsal a matter
of college precedent. The pictures were
tak«n by Arthur W. Rice.

CITY OF OAKLAND
JOINS BOND EIGHT
Asks to Have Securities Voted
for Sanitary Districts De=
dared Invalid
OAKLAND, March 2. — Another at
tack was made today on the validity
of the bonds recently voted by the
sanitary .districts that were- annexed
last December to the city of Oakland.
The city of Oakland joined forces to
day with Miss Jennie Stone, who took
legal steps a short time ago to have
the Elmhurst sanitary district bonds,
aggregatftjg $75,000, \u25a0 declared invalid.
The city's opposition is directed against
all of the annexed sanitary districts,
however, and bonds In the amount of
$350,000 are involved.
City Attorney Stetson filed six an
swers to the petitions made by the
sanitary districts to have the superior
court declare the bonds good. The
sanitary districts named are the East
Fruitvale. Redwood,: Seminary park,
upper Fruitvale, Elmhurst and Fitch
burg.
Shortly after Stetson had taken this
action, the E. B. & A. L.' Stone com
pany, of which Miss Stone's brothers
ere the principal owners, filed a com
plaint against the commissioners of the
Elmhurst sanitary district, asking that
they be enjoined from issuing the bond
issue of $75,000.
The legal point involved in all these
cases is the same. If the commissioners
of the sanitary district automatically
went out of offlce when annexation to
Oakland took place, subsequent official
acts, such as issuing bonds, must be
illegal, and the bond' issues must be
declared invalid. In the case of Elm
hurst another complication is added by
the fact that part of the sanitary dis
trict was annexed to San Leandro last
March.
The interest of the Stones is that, as
large property owners in the Elmhurst
district, their taxes will be materially
raised by the bond issue. The interest
of the city of Oakland is that the city
authorities want control of the issuance
of the bonds.
Arguments in the case in which Miss
Stone is a party will be heard before
the judges sitting en bane tomorrow.

ANNUAL ELECTION
Oakland Club Finds Three Tick
ets in Field From Which to
Choose Directors
OAKLAND. March 2.— Politics en
gaged the interest of the women, of
the Oakland club this afternoon. wh«a
they were offered their annual . privi
lege of electing 10 candidates" for the
board of directors, which wilt ba
chosen on the first Wednesday in
April.
That the election today was not
altogether harmonious waa manifested
in the lobbying which was done prior
to the formal meeting, three distinct
tickets being in the field.
Mrs. Leon Hall, who has served as
president for the past year, has a
strong following. This party, accord
ing to rumor, desired to drop the
names of Mrs. C. S. Chamberlain and
Mrs. G. J. G. Marslly from the board.
Mrs. C. b". Chamberlain, who is men
tioned insistently for the high execu
*tive offlc£. found amons the older
members her strongest support. A
ticket including her name with tha,t
of Mrs. Marsily was circulated by
Mrs. M. P. Cole. A third and less
strenuous party included both Mrs.
Chamberlain and Mrs. Hall in its
choice.
Although the club will give out no
information regarding the successful
candidates, whose names will be
voted upon next -month, the opinion
is general that the final tlcßet will
offer the following: Mrs. C. S. Cham
berlain. Mrs. Leon Hall. Mrs. William
A. Schrock. Mrs. C. F. Chadwick. Miss
Bessie Wood. Mrs. John Mole. Mrs. F.
