Crane Craig, former daughter in law
of Mayor Hugh Craig of Piedmont,

! wore a tailored suit and a picture hat.

Mrs. Miriam Craig was held in the
county jail until late Sunday, and it
was said that a charge of attempting
to kidnap her son would be placed
j against her, but the charge of disturb
ing the peace was all that came oj it.

Alameda County Superintendent
Scents Politics
OAKLAND, Oct. 15.—County Super
intendent of Schools George W. Frick is
opposed tO"the proposed amendments
placing the" reorganization, of the state
board of education in the hands of the
legislature. He is in favor of reor
ganizing the board by specific amend
ment to the state constitution, to be
voted on direct, according to a state
ment issued today.
*'t believe that the board should be
saved from a preponderating element of
normal school influences," he said, 'and
f also fear that if the reorganization
is intrusted to the legislature the board
may be made a political pawn."
Frick said that the arguments for
and against free tertbooks were so
efiually balanced that he thought the
matter might be left to the vote of the
people.
