BURGLARS MAY BE
TRIED IN STOCKTON
Slough City Police Build Up
Strong Case Against Oak
land Prisoners
OAKLAND, Oct. 2. — Investigation has
convinced the police that Harry Wil
liams and Fred Hall, who were arrested
in San Francisco three days ago for
• the robbery of the Cherry clothing store
iin Thirteenth- street, near Clay, also
S looted Harry McCabe's store In Stock
j ton of $600 worth of goods June 19.
j Chief of Police Briare of Stockton and
I McCabe came here today to complete a
case against the men with Captain of
Detectives Petersen's aid.
The police have obtained a bit which
fits borings made in McCabe's store.
Besides this. McCabe today identified
clothing the men wore as garments
stolen from his shop. \u25a0 If the Oakland
case against the burglars and their
"fence" goes wrong in court, Williams
and Hall will be sent to Stockton to be
tried.
. Evidence is still being obtained to
connect the men with a similar bur
glary in Sacramento. In all the cities
the scheme worked was the same. The
men rented a room above the stores
and gained entrance during the night
by removing a skylight. Then they
would raise the goods to their room,
pack it in into trunks and remove it to
another city by several express wagons.
The police traced them from their room
here in Thirteenth street to San Fran
cisco, finding that the trunks had been
left on sidewalks and taken into other
wagons three times.

AGAINST OPEN VESSELS
Sealed Receptacles May Be Re-
quired by Ordinance

is considering the draft of an ordi
nance which provides that all milk
must be sold here in sealed recepta
cles. The measure has the approval
of the dairymen and the system is in
effect in a number of large eastern
cities.
Many complaints have been made
against dirty milk and the dairymen
say that most of the impurities in milk
are due to its transfer from various
receptacles.

etors who retail milk were arrested
here recently because they sold milk
that was alleged, to be' dirty. One. of
the defendants was tried and convicted.
The others await trial.

THE : ::SA3Jf FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1910.
NEW CHARTER IS
BEING COMPLETED
Committee of Freeholders Put=
ting Last Touches to the
Instrument ,
OAKLAND, Oct. 2. — The charter free
holders will hold their last meeting to
morrow night to complete the revision
of the new charter, which must be
signed by at least 10 members and filed
with the city clerk Tuesday. The In
strument Is now in the hands of a re
vision committee, composed of .Free
holders Harrison S. Robinson, William
C. Clark and R. 11. Chamberlain.
On these men has fallen the task of
putting phrases into proper wording,
eliminating repetitions and conflicting
provisions and detecting flaws of lan
guage which might invalidate the
charter. With this detail completed,
the charter will be given to the printer
and laid before the board tomorrow
evening as a recommendation from the
committee. 4 .
Introduction of new clauses was end
ed last Wednesday evening, when by
vote the freeholders decided to accept
no more suggestions' of new matter.
They had covered every department of
the city government and had intro
duced Into the new charter a great deal
that is new. The innovations include
the civil service provisions, as well as
those relating to initiative, referendum
and recall.
Radical departure from the system
of the old charter was made necessary
by the adpotlon of the commission form
of municipal government for Oakland.
The board was pledged to this before
its election.
Discussions at meetings had greatly
facilitated revision before that work
was undertaken in earnest. Sections
of the clause covering the school de
partment, for instance, "were stricken
out because the provisions were made
by state laws.

FUNDS ALLOWED
FOR PARK WORK
Alameda Prepared to Expend
Money, in Park and Play*,
ground Improvements '
ALAMEDA, Oct. -2.— -Extensive im
provements" wUI be made to the local
parks and public playgrounds by the
commission in charge of the recreation
areas, $15,000 haying recently been-al
lowed by the city council for the work.
Although the public playgrounds .of
this city are not four years old,. their
equipment and the method of caring
for them have attracted . attention
throughout . the United States. The
grounds, have been visited and - In
spected by a ; number of experts and
the :play places have been highly
praised. •
There are , three playgrounds in the
city, all purchased with money voted
at a bond election four years ago. Lin
coln parkat the east end is the largest
jof the parks and playgrounds. It was
purchased from the estate of the late
Captain R. R. Thompson." The grounds
were at one time the site of, a palatial
mansion and are ornamented with many
rare trees, shrubs and flowers. The
playground has a frontage on San
Leandro bay and it is the plan of the
'park commission in time to Improve
this frontage for boating and bathing.
The grounds are equipped .with gym
nasium apparatus, baseball. field, tennis
courts. handball and basket ball
courts. Lincoln park is In charge of
j John Gutlaben. ' \u25a0
The McKlnley park and* playgrounds
are located in Walnut street between
Clement and Buena Vista* avenues.
The site was formerly the_ home pface
of the late Judge James "A. Waymire.
The jurist. lost it to the Hlbernia bank
on foreclosure proceedings and it was
purchased from that institution by the
city. In the center of the park Is the
old Waymire dwelling. The building
is occupied in part by the family of
N. 11. Dunn, superintendent of parks
and playgrounds. The North Side Im
provement club holds its regular meet
ings in the parlors of the old residence.
It is probable that in the. future the
bullding\will be fitted up as a public
museum..
The athletic apparatus for the play
grounds In McKinley park Is ready to
be placed in position. The apparatus
will, be located in the. northern part of
the recreation annex. McKlnley %park
is*, surrounded by magnificent palms
and in the gardens are many rare
plants.
Washington park is located on . the
south shore near Enolnal station. The
area has a splendid grove of oaks. The
south side of Washington park fronts
on the beach and for this reason the
pleasure resort is popular with visitors
to the city, who are 'pleased to take
advantage of the joys of delving in the
sand and bathing in the surf. Steps
load down from the south bank of the
park to the beach. The park commis
sion has planned to have a stone break
water and sand retaining wall • con
structed out some distance beyond the
low water line. This will insure an
abundance pf . clean sand, in close to
the shore. :

ATHLETIC ACTIVITY
OF GIRL STUDENTS
Sports and Pastimes Club at the
University of California
Takes to New Sport
BERKELEY. Oct. 2. — A swimming
club has recently been formed by the
women students at the University of
California. Miss Claudia R. Peldl. a
prominent member of the Sports and
Pastimes club at the university. Is the
organizer of the club, and th«« project
has been taken up with enthusiasm by
athletic women.
The plans of the club have as yet as
sumed no definite shape, owinj; to the
fact that the new swimming tank, which
the board of regents intends to install
at the university, will not be com
pleted for several months. It is prob
able t however, that a swimming team
will'be organized by the club, and that
swimming meets with other univer
sities having similar teams will be
held.
Work for the fall semester ha 3 al
ready begun in the Sports and Past
times club. At the last meeting two
coaches were selected for the term.
Miss May Shafter was chosen to in
struct the basket ball squad, and Miss
Irene Phillips, former physical in
structor at Rochester college, will have
charge of the -fencing clas*. Tennis
and rowing are also sports which were
taken up actively by the club in the
past, but nothing definite has been done
this term.
MONEY RATES HARDEN
WITH UPLIFTING PRICES
Great Financial Centers of the
World are Affected
NEW YORK. Oct. 2. — An uplift In
prices of stocks was achieved last week
In the face of narrowing resources of
the money market, which induced a no
table hardening of money rates at all
the great money centers of the world.
The raising of the discount rates by
the Imperial Bank of Germany and the
Bank of England, constituted a warn
ing of requirements in prospect that
is scarcely to be disregarded by those
dependent on the future course of
money rates.
The higher call loan rate in New
York was ascribed to the shifting of ac
counts in connection with October pay
ments of about $170,000,000 in dividends
and interest, in itself a gratifying
showing and is expected to furnish an
Investment fund to benefit the security
market.
There are to be considered also the
cash requirements for the movement of
crops. The advance in time loan rates,
especially for short periods, was the
consequence of this demand.
In the London market the capital of
new companies floated In the third
quarter, just ended, shrunk to £25.176,
000, compared with £99.355.000 for the
preceding quarter, and £188,076,000 for
the first half year, the latter' an un
precedented record. A similar contrac
tion is observable In the issue o,f new
securities in Xew York. Large intended
issues of new capital are known to be
deferred but not abandoned.
The comfortable feeling regarding
the corn crop constituted a substantial
backlog to speculative sentiment.

POLICE RECORDS VERIFY
PRESS AGENTS STORY
Max Dill' Chases and Jails Man
Who Stole Tire
, .This is one press agent story th^at la
peculiar, for It la authenticated In
practically every detail by the records
of the police department. It happened
late Saturday afternoon and Max Dill,
the comedian, unassisted by his stage
embonpoint, played the leaJing role of
hero.
Dill was visiting his manager, Nat
Magner, at the latter's apartments in
Ellis street across from the Princess
theater. Looking out of the window
the portly Max espied the villain glow
ering at his auto that stood on the
corner.
Suddenly with a scowl and a vicious
hfss the villain ripped out a knife and
slashed away the straps that held
Dill's extra tire. With a cry of rag<»
Dill leaped from the room, clattered
down the step? and pursueJ the fleeing
villain for a whole block.
A hoarse cry of rage Issued from the
villain's throat as Dill seized him by
th 3 neck. "Give muh back muh tire!"
shrieked the hero. One of the crowd
that had gathered handed it to him.
Then the hero flung the villain into the
hero's auto, whisked him away to the
police station near Devlsadero street
and gave him Into custody. The vil
lain said he wrs Fred Reed, formerly
an army man. but he didn't say why
he wanted the comedian's tire.
There were no moving pictures.
Note — Dill opens at the Garrick the
ater October 24.
