BERKELEY.

One OF those happy escapes from fearful
tragedy was seen yesterday afternoon in q
collision between the Southern Pacific local
and the Oakland electric car. The train
was standing at the East Berkeley station
and the electric car attempted to make the
crossing. but the train started before it
cleared the track. the engine caught the
car demolishing the rear end and deralling
it, but not injuring the passengers.
A Feasible Project.
There are each year a number of stu
dents who enter the university with little
moro than willing hands and determina-
ton to obtain their education at any sacri-
fee. young men who milk professors
COW, sweep out churches. roll tennis
grounds. do any work that offers by
necessities of life while they pursue
bravely their studies AS neither
dormtories nor aught else is offered by
the university, one OF the large elements in
the expense of the needy students is room
rental. A few by clubbing together rent
cheap cottages and divide the cost between
them. The basement in Stiles Hall is
large and deep and dry. The idea is being
considered of putting in floor to the
basement, building rooms around the sides
with gas and water led in and rem ting them
to poor students at low price to merely
cover the cost of forming the rooms. AS
the basement is not used for anything but
the furnace, the plan seems very feasible
and would be wonderful aid to the stu
dents needingi it.
Fifteenth Anniversary.
The congregation of the Church of the
Good Shepherd. West Berkeley. will to-
morrow night celebrate the fifteenth ami
versary of the organization of the church.
Rev. A. A. McAllister, Rev. j. A. Emery
and Rev. G. A. Easton will, it is thought,
be present.
Was 1t Incendiary?
A fire discovered in the rear of Mikkel-
sen & Berry's tailo7in g-store on Center
street in time to extingush is thought to
be of incendiary origin, as no other way
seemed open for it to have started. 1t was
put out before we'll started and loss of
rot more than SIS was sustained.

AN EXCITING GAME

Henry Harris blossomed forth as an

words OF eloQuence he uttered came
struggling out of his mouth somewhat
after the bashful manner in which

proved too much for him and his hired

contest. polished them off in good style.
The game was great one. 1t was just
full of home runs, sensational catches and
all that sort of thing, and kept the spec.a-

Oakland was in the lead for the pennant,
but only by half game. and 1t was anX-

assessment district be formed to pur-
chase the land needed to make the extern

A complaint was made that after two
weeks sprinkling of Mission road the
street. sprinkling had ceased. while on San
Bruno road no sprinkling has been done
this year. A committee will interview the
Board of Supervisors and call their notice
to the grievance.
The delegates listened to an address by
D. R. Mcneil. The speaker thought the
Supervisors as we'll as the taxpayers of the
city should do what they could to encOur-
age and aid the DELEGATES and various clubs
in the good they are striving to accom-
plish.
A committee was designated to aid the

the reasoning that, as the city had had no
right to convey the property to any pri-

right to collect tolls, and it followed of

Why Foreign Exhibitors Will Come

CHICAGO, Aug. 9.-In the California
building to-day Assistant Director herr
Cornely held kind OF international re-
ception, and for upward of nine hours for
eign exhibitors streamed into the building
to the number of several hundred. A day
or two will suffice TO decide whether the
California International Midwinter Ex-
position will suffer for lack of exhibitors.
In fact the question was satisfactorily an
swered by t0-day's throng. Space is asked
and no disposition To cry over rates is
manifested as vet. The foreign exhibit

light of purely commercial transaction.

SSION-STREET WIDENING.
Distractions Are at Last to Be Moved
Rack

The widening of Mission street is at last
likely to be accomplished. and the obstruc-
tons which have retarded the carrying
out of the improvements for the past four
years soon removed. Preparations are be-
ing made by several of the property
owners who so long and bitterly resisted
the actions of the widening comm ssioners
to move back their houses to the line of
the street as widened.
The first of the obstructionists to ac-
quese in the final decree af the Supreme

TROUBLE DOWN SOUTH.
The Los Angeles Club in Financial

The Los Angles team is in a precariOus
condition. so Dame Rumor has it. and
there is likelihood that it will not last
until the END of the season.
Lack Of interest in the sport and In con-
sequence lack of silver dollars is said to
be the trouble.
The Sacramento team was to have opened
there Yesterday, but it did not do so.
In fact. Manager Moore did not even
take his team to the southern country,
but instead staked them out in the vicinity
of the State capitol.
Moore's reason for not going south is
that he did not or could not receive
guarantee and did not feel inclined 10
start out on money-loslng expedition.
When the State League was Ieorganized
recently, an agreementwas entered into by
which visiting clubs were to be guaranteed
a certain amount, no matter what the gate
receipts summed up to. This was done in
order to make it certain that no club
would start out on trip from which it
could not return, and the sum TO be guar
anteed was placed at an amount Just
about large enough to cover expenses
Heretofore no trouble has been expert
euced in any Of the league cities in conse.
uuence of this agreement, but now that it
has arisen it is likely 10 do great harm, as
none of the interior towns are making
much money out of baseball. and the fail
ure Of one to keep its agreement is liable
TO be followed by the failure of others to
do the same thing.
1t has long been known that affairs were
not IN the most prosperous condition down
south, and last week. when the runor be-
came current that the Los Angeles Electric
Railway Company, which has for many
months been helping the home team along
by dividing the profits whrh it made by
conveying passengers to the ball grounds

was looked for.
Managers Harris and Geisen, who have
