QAS Rrnn

SUo broddWay, May IA. J
Judge 4. L. Frick is looked upon as one
OF the most doughty young men in Ala
media County. He undertook to win q
wife and a seat in Congress in the same
year. He has succeeded in his first cam
paign and his managers express great con-
hdence IN his prospects of going TO Wash
ington.
The announcement of Judge Frick's ap-
preaching marriage was somewhat OF q
surprise TO his many friends, who thought
that the law and politics engaged all his
lime. Next Thursday the Judge is to wed
Miss Tillie NJ. Bader, q charming Young
lady WHO has resided in Oakland about a
year. Miss Bader is an active member OF
the Native Daughters and is trustee OF
Piedmont Parior. She is very popular
both in and out of the organization and
has hosts of friends in this city and in
Calaveras County, whence the family
moved TO Oakland about a year ago.
a very quiet ceremony will unite her to
the Judge. 1t will be conducted at the
residence OF the brides mother, 614 Thir-
teenth street, and only immediate friends
will be present. After the marriage Judge
and Mrs. Frick Will go on a wedding tour
and VIII visit San Andreas, Calayeras
County, the former home of the bride.
On their return they viii temporarily
take up their residence at 6l4 Thirteenth
street.
Immediately the wedding tour is over
Judge Frick will give all his attention 10
his fight for Congress.
Il sincerely hope that there will be but
one primary for the election of delegates
10 the convention that viii nominate a
Congressman from this district" said the
Judge to-day.
There shoald be but one decent, honest
primary, no matter who calls it, and |
wish to see the feeling created by the re-
cent proceedings at Sacramento die out
and see harmony in the Republican party.
Il am heartily opposed to anything in
the nature OF a refunding bill. / believe
that the railroad should be treated by the
Government just as any other creditor
should be treated. 1t should be compelled
10 pay its debts, and therefore l am unal-
terably opposed to refundIng. l believe
the Government should foreclose on the
delinquent roads without delay.
"A great deal has been said about nv
making q combination with candidate
Tor Superior Judge by which nv friends
were 20 deliver their votes to him, and his
friends would support me for Congress.
Such story is absolutely without foun-
datlon. 1t is true that in order TO prevent
any complication that might arise | have
announced that l am not anxious TO sue
ceed myself on the bench, but am anx-
Ious to 90 TO Congress. However, l want
70 see an open primary, and I shall do my
best TO Win and believe | shall succeed
l think clean, dignifed primary, where
all can have an equal chance, will do more
than anything else TO heal the differences
that grew out OF the unseating and seating
OF delegates at Sacramento"

A STATUE IN EVERY PARK

ington.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL,

sos Broadway, May IA.
The beautifying of the Oakland parks
has long been matter of consideration
with many citizens and officials but be-
yond the planting of few trees nothing
has been done. A new and happily con-
ceived plan Is now being carried out that
will add greatly to their artistic appear
ance, and which is singularly appropriate.
ALI OF the parks of this city are named
after men great in the history of the
Nation. The names of Lincoln, LAFAYETTE.
Franklin, Jefferson have been given to the
pretty parks that help to relieve the ce ter
OF the city, and it is suggested that in each
park be placed a monument of the man
whose name it bears.
The plan originated with Mayor Davie,
and he has been working on it quietly for
some time so that it would be in an intel
ligent shape when he made it public
'Our parks are altogether too devoid of
statuary," said Mayor Davie tonight 'sand
ii seems TO me that the idea is a very good
one to adorn each park SO that the orna-
| ment will have some historical value.

already there is a model for the proposed
statue of Abraham Lincoln in San Fran.
cisco.
II thought it would be the most appro.
pirate to commence with Lincoln and
when we know how much it will cost and
what il will look like we shall announce
our project, and have assurances that the
public at large and especially those who
live in the neighborhood of the various
parks will contribute for its erection.
Already several Eastern firms have
expressed their desire to supply the neces-
sary statues. but Lam of the opinion that
we can do all that kind OF work right at
home, and l think it is but right to keep
all the trade at home that we possibly can.
This idea will possess a value other than
as decoration. 1t will help to impress
principles of patriotism in the children,
as nearly all of the parks adjoin one OF
the public schools. This idea should
recommend the project to every body, and
/ believe it will.
AT present we have no Washington
Park, but 1 shall try and get one some
where. The value of a block laid out as
park in the busiest and most growing Sec
tons of the city does not seem to be so
fully appreciated as it deserves to be-
However, l believe that we shall soon see
a change in that regard and l have great
confidence in the success of the plan to
place statue in the parks that we now
have"

OAKLAND, CAL, May 1.-THE mem

examined it. Planks, stringers and piles
were found in badly decayed condition,
although here and the:e some woodwork
was found that was quite substantial.
Street Superintendent Miller had a
boat handy, and after the Councilmen
had finished inspecting the superstruc-
ture OF the bridge, they embarked in this
to examine the piling. The tide was lit

see enough to convince them that that

OAKLAND, CAL, May 1.-THE long
drawn out uEpleasantness between the
Humane Society and the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Children reached
a conclusion tonight. DR.. Carpenter of
the Humane Society called special meet
ing of his society and outlined their
grievance against Mrs. Prescott, secretary
of the Children's Society. He stated that
her society had entered into some sort of
agreement with r. w. Theobolds, e1-sec-
retary of the Humane Society, to under
mine that society. DIR. Carpenter charac-
terized Mrs. Prescott's behavior as un-
grateful, and the following resolution was
passed unanimously:
Resolved, That the Humane Society OF Ala
media County hereby discontinue the COURTESY
extended to the Children's Society and from
this date we refuse to grant the Children's
Society the privilege OF having desk room in
our office.
The meeting was heated one and many
unpleasant things were said. The trouble
has been brewing for months and has been
fruitful source of minor scandals. The
action taken tonight will destroy any
united action by the two bodies.
