OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL. |

JUo broadway, Nov. 8.
The residents of East Oakland who can
see Clinton Park from any of their n
dows have It ,rmed the Board of Public
Works. They fail to or will not see any
thing artistic IN the many changes re-
Gently made in Clinton Park, and declare
that the alleged transforming of the pace
into thing of beauty is an outrage for
ever.
The matter was brought to crisis W hen
the Board OF Public Works d. cided TO add
greenhouse TO the park. This was too
much, and public officials and private c1ti-
zens have issued a small library OF pro-
tests.
]. w. Evans, ex-president of the Board
of Education, respectfully requests that
the "im provements" be undone and the
park restore to its former beauty. He
says the residents have submitted to the
vandalism till the park is "a congIome ra-
ton that is an eyesore" because they did
not want to hurt the gardener.
Ii. /. Haelke writes that it is IAN in suit
to the eve of the person OF cultivated
tastes" Mr.. Haelke must have gone to
a dictionary TO help out his protest, for
he declares that a border of mescm bri-
anthemum has been substituted for
grass" He jumps all over the fountain,
neither classic nor rustic, but grotesque."
He says that when 1t comes to the plaut-
ing OF luchsias into the ends OF sewer
pipe we simply commit the npardonabe
sin. "
Miss Carrie a. Whelan is almost hys-
terical III her protest. She says: I'VE
have struck against further spoliation of
our park. Some time go we heard that
Mayor Davle Intended TO make IL the tn-
est park in the city end then we began to
worry" Miss Whelan says that they
have borne with the foun ain, the deco
raied-arch" mania. the queer summer
| house with sky-bue ceiling" but to put
a greenhouse there is 100 awful 10 contem-
plate "Spare u.s." she cries in a dozen
different keys. Miss Whelan thus criii-
I cizes the fountain:

Power to Order Further Litigation

9OS Broadway, Nov. 5.
II is now prac ically settled that the
city Of oakland viii not allow the de ci-
son Of the Supreme Court in the water
ti-aat case to pass unchallenged.
i 81 the present time there IS some doubt
as 10 the next step that ought TO be pur-
sud. but decision will be arrived at in
plenty OF time TO prevent the Water
front Company from taking any advan-
tage tnet night accrue from an aban-
donment Of the case at Its present stage.
At the office OF the Waterfront Com
paDy's attorneys to-day il was stated
that as things stand at present the deci-
sion OF the Supreme Court Is practically
the only Judgment on record, and 1t was
limited that there is no desire on the part
OF the company to apreai from II. After
TWO years, II the city has no. taken any
further steps in the matter, The company
could apply to the court TO have the judg-
ment Of the Superior c urt, as amended
by the Supreme Court, declared final on
The ground OF abandonment, out there IS
no probability that such Will be the case.
At the present time tBele Is no final ludg-
ment OF any kind on recO ii.
The attorneys for the city are now de-
bating what action tG take. The Supreme
Court ha sen the case back TO be retired
and there S som doubt as TO whether IL
IS necessary to have a new trlal batore the
case can be taken 10 the upreme Court o
The United States. Some OF tie attorney
are OF the opinion that writ OF error
could be taken out in the United S ate:
81 RENE Court, while Others are inclined
TO believe that until the case has been re-
ri. and again reviewed by the Supreme
Court the highest court IN the land would
noJ have acquired jurisdiction.
As matters now stand the water fIo1t
Is as much tied up IS ever, so far as using
il Ior the pub.ic Uenef. Is concerned
Should the case be retired 1t would have
TO follow the lines laid down by he S,a
supreme Court, but Ire IS no knowine
at the verdict OF the jufy might be o.
hat the result OF an apDeai 10 the Sd
pIeme Court from that verd ct would De.
Therefore, tLe whole case Is as comp.i /
Gated as ever, and in realty Is very little
nearer nnaity than il was Il year ago. Ii

4 Pretty Romance Ends With the
Death of the Hero.
OAKLAND, Nov Sin oozy home at
1404 Commerce street, in East Oakland, a
little bride but three months older than
Is years mourns for & loving husband
whose body lies at the Morgue.
The unhappy woman is Marie Fernan-
dez and her grief is made more poignant
by The fact that her brave husband, who
is but %, is 10 be buried in he potter 5
field.
August Fernandez was a hero, and his
brave act of rescuing a drowning man
about two months ago IS what has led
indirectly TO his death, Tor on that occa-
sion he contracted a cold which developed
into pneumonia, 10 which he succumbed
Yesterday.
Fernandez was married last July to
Miss Silva. a young girl whose mother
was in destitute circumstances. He heard
OF the case and his kind heart prompted
him to relieve he necessities OF the family.
The woman was named Silva, and when
he had seen her and her caiIoren pro-
vided for he welded the I5-year-old
daughter, whose love he had won.
Fernandez was then working on the
river boat and was doing well. His mar
ried life was happy one and no thought
of the sorrow which now enwraps his
loved ones entered the minds of the
happy couple. The assistance which her
son-in-law gave her restored Mrs. Silva to
health and to. o.nieht she mourns with her
daughter.
The little money which the young
couple saved was spent during the sick
ness of the breadwinner of the family
anu there is nothing lett with which TO
pay for a funeral, so Fernandez will be
buried by the county.
Fernandez saved four lives during { he
past year. and one of his most prizeL
possessions was a gold medal given him
by the Humane Society for saving Mr..
Mitchell and her boy from death by
drowning in the bay some months ago.

police, but there is nothing 10 snow who
