Miss Ray Frank Prefers It as a Literary
 Center.
Believes in the Statement of Joaquin Miller Made
 Years Ago.
Tells Why She Thinks It Is Best to Gain Reputation in
 Europe.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,

sos Broadway, April It.
 Miss Ray Frank is to leave Oakland in a few days to take up a permanent resi- 6ence in London. and in that great city U follow a literary career. Probably no woman speaker and writer in California is better known than Miss Frank, who Is a devoted exponent of the principles of the Hebraic faith. and who has had conferred upon her by her church honors shared by no other woman.
 The distinction awarded Miss Frank at Chicago three years ago was equivalen. to the rank of an ordained rabbi.
 On being asked for the reason for her QI eferenCe for London over any of the cities of the New World in which to en- ter a literary career Mrs. Frank gave the following explanation:
 o o o o o o o o o 0 Il is not so much a matter of prefer o O ence as that to-day London is the cen O ter of letters for the English speaking O c world possibly for other tongues as well O O because literature in it's highest meaning o O is universal O O T. is reported that years ago Joaquin O Miller. then beginning his career as o O poet, said he would work for recognition o o fn London; if he attained it there, o America would give it to him.

JUDGE ALLEN EXPLAINS. His Decision Only Partially Kills the
 the Pool Ordinance.

OAKLAND, April 16.-Judge Allen says that his decision dismissing the pool sell CTS from custody yesterday does not in validate the whole ordinance, but only the portion prohibiting persons from re- ceiving money to bet on the races. He holds that the cigar men only act as shareholders for the race track gamblers when placing their money on the races. The judge says that the dismissals were were made with the consent of Deputy Dis trict Attorney Moore. MT. Moore is of the opinion that the ordinance Is entirely Knocked out. Its main purpose was to prohibit the existence Of pool rooms where money was received by the agent to place on races at the track. and as this is the section declared invalid. the whole ordinance practically falls to the ground

Stricken Blind in the Night.

OAKLAND, April 16.-The case of a woman in the East who was reported this week as having gone to bed at night with good eyesight and woke in the morning to find herself blind, has a par alIel in East Oakland in F. Schimmel pfennig, a well-known capitalist. He awoke Tuesday morning about o'clock, and not seeing the light that usually burns all night he reused his wife to learn why the light was out. When told that it was burning he realized that his sight was gone. He lives on Shuey ave- nue, Fruitvale.
 Refused to Appoint Mrs. Price.
 OAKLAND, April 16.-Judge Ellsworth refused to appoint Mrs. Louisa E. Price as executrix of the will of her late husband Elijah Price, who died in Berkeley Oc- tober 5. 1897, but appointed c. P. Gibbon, the sole eXecutor. In doing this the court stated that there was no doubt in his mind that Mrs. Price had attempted to commit fraud by hiding the will which favored the others at her expense, and she was not a proper person to handle the estate.
