NEWS OF OAKLAND, BERKELEY, ALAMEDA, HAYWARD AND SAN LEANDRO
EXPERT ON BOOKS
ANGERS TREASURER
President of Alameda Council
Explains, However, That No
Slur Is Intended
ALAMEDA, May 4.— According to
President E. B. Bullock of tile city
council, who is also the chairman of
the finance committee of that body and
who assumes some of the responsibility
for placing an expert on the books of
City Treasurer and Tax Collector Os
wald Lubbock. the accountant is mak
ing an annual inspection of the books
and was not put to work to harass
Lubbock. in whose office a shortage of
$570 was discovered recently and later
made good by the treasurer-tax col
lector.
"As chairman of the finance com
mittee of the city council," said Presi
dent Bullock, "it is incumbent upon
me to fcp that the financial accounts
of the offices under the control of the
city council are correct and regular.
if I did not see that this was so I
would be derelict in my duty and would
not be complying with my oath of
office.
"The exporting of the books of the
: r^asurer-tax collector that is now be
ing done at the instance of the finance
ronmitfe is an annual proceeding. In
the investigation that the committee
of the city council and a certified
accountant made of the books of
that office, we did not go into any
tiling but the accounts of the unappor
lioned moneys. We are not having the
books exported now with the expecta
tion of finding any discepancies In the
office of the treasurer-tax collector,
and I hope that no discrepancies \u25a0will
be difceovrrod.''
City Treasurer Lubbock is not
pieascd with the placing: of an expert
on his books and construes the action
as a reflection on his integrity. He
said:
"1 contemplate writing a letter to
the city council and tolling the mem
bers of that organization just what I
think of this continual experting and
what I think of come of the members
of the city council. If I decide to
write the letter I will certainly say
something in it that will open some
body's eyes."

for jealousy. He was granted an Inter

of Albany
BERKELEY, May j 4— —A committee of
trustees of Albany has been appointed
to wait upon the board of supervisors
next Monday morning- relative to
charges made .that conditions at the
county hospital are bad and. should be
investigated.? On the committee which

Trustees A: P. Hanscom,"E. D. Gushing
and^Mayor, Frank J.. Roberts. "
'The treatment accorded Joseph Per
cella, a school boy of Albany, who was
taken to the county hospital for treat
ment for 1 a fractured^ shoulder blade,
wiir.be made the. basis of the charges
which will be filed with the county
board. -^
• It Js alleged by City Clerk Nicker
son. Mayor Frank J. Roberts and other
officials of Albany -that the boy was
taken to the county hospital at the sug
gestion of City Health Officer Dr. Rob
ert Hector, because the boy's parents
were in straitened circumstances.
At the hospital, the officials of. Al
bany charge, the boy was given no care
for thre^ weeks except the attentions
of a trained nurse, and during that time
no attempt was made to set the broken
bone.
"As a result, they^declare, the bone
knitted imperfectly -and young Percel
la's shoulder is deformed and the bone
will have to rebroken and' reset that
'he may, gain a normal use of the mem
ber. \u25a0' * \u25a0 .; - .

" "It is shameful cruelty and neglect
that thi3 child should be made to suf
fer the*way that he was, and conditions
certainly should be improved at the
county hospital. The cause of his neg
lect was cither carelessness or inef
ficiency, and in either case the condi-
Itons there should be made the subject
of investigation."

Week's Program
» OAKLAND, May 4. — The bill at the
Oakland Orpheum this week is one of
unusual merit, and every performance
has been largely attended.
Blanche Dayne and Will Cressy in
"The Wyoming Whoop" scored a sub
stantial hit. The playlet has beeir pro
nounced the cleverest of Cressy's writ
ings. The combination of humor and
pathos Is well balanced and pro
duction as a whole is splendfd.;
Gus Edward's night birds form a no
table novelty. Gladys Lockwood, who
last year made her reputation with the
"pianophiends" In singing "She Bor
rowed My Only Husband," presents a
"pianologue" with Paul MacCarty.
Lameton and Lucier, who appear in
the farce, "A Fool's Errand." and the
foreign acrobats, the Picquays, are
good. Nellie Nichols has sung her way
into Oakland favor.
Al White's four "dancing bugs" per
form a novel specialty. - Lynch, Walsh
and company in their production,
"Huckin's Run," give a melodrama with
comedy tcoloring that is refreshing.
Among \u25a0 the - headliners of next
week's bill will be Elita Proctor Otis,
the actress who has won her audiences
wherever* she has played, and Anna
Layghlin.^the former musical comedy

Berkeley School Superintendent
Declares Expense Bars the
Proposed Undertaking
BERKELEY, May 4. — That the board
of education could not stand the ex
pense of kindergartens in Berkeley was
the declaration last night of Frank F.
Bunker, superintendent of schools,
when the matter was brought before
that body. He" said, however, that if
the council called a bond election and
the people voted the necessary money
the school board would co-operate in
the work.
Mrs. Thomas Seabury and other club
women were present at the meeting to
ask for the Indorsement of the kinder
garten movement, but owing to the ab
sence of Director Roy Young no action
was taken.
Bunker pointed out that the estab
lishment of a kindergarten in face of
keen competition would curtail the
work of other departments and wouUl
therefore work a hardship. He said:
"If a kindergarten is undertaken in
this city I would strongly urge that it
be organized on" such a basis that ef
ficient work can be expected and re
quired. Much of the work now passing
under the name is exceedingly poor.
The first step would be to secure a
woman of training and experience and
competent to lay out the work along
sane and progressive lines."
Bunker figured that a fund approxi
mating $50,000 would be necessary for
the maintenance of a kindergarten for
three years.
