Bath Beach Hotel, After
Long Career in Berkeley,
Is Destroyed by Fire
FLAMES ARE SEEN AFFAIR
Blot Out the Life of a
Withered Frame That Was
Long Ago a SchOoIhOuse
Berkeley Office San Francisco Call,

Berkeley Office San Francisco Call,
214S Center Street, Aug. 2.
The Bath Beach Hotel, a familiar
landmark in West Berkeley, blazed it's
way to a glorious death by fire last
night, and all the pioneers of the dis
trict saw the withered old frame eX-
pire in the flames. 1t used to be the
San Pablo schoolhouse in the long
ago, and the people who knew it then
were sorry to see it fall a victim to
fire after serving its country so many
years.
The fire broke out early this morn
ing There were only two people in
the house, and they easily escaped
with their effects AS the fire alarm
system is not working in that section
yet, it was a long time before the fire
department could be summoned. Even
when the apparatus did arrive it was
useless, because the hose was not long
enough to reach the fire from the first
hydrant. All the fremen could do
was to let the building burn down.
Hugh Mccall conducted the hotel.
The damage will be about $4,000. There
is almost enough insurance to cover 1t.

STREETS OF EIMHURST
LIGHTED BY ELECTRICITY
Citizens Take the Matter in Hand
with Highly Beneficial
Results.

OAKLAND, Aug. 2.-The citizens of
the thriving suburban town of Elm
hurst have taken the matter of street
lighting into their own hands and the
beginning of an electric system was
put into operation tonight. Elmhurst
has arrived at the dignity of town,
though it is not Incorporated, and for
this reason there is no system of mum
icipal lighting. The population war
rants an electric system, but there is
no way that this could be acquired ex-
cept by the work of individual citi-
zcns.
w. d. Sanborn, general agent of the
Burlington Railroad system in San
Francisco, took the matter in hand
and interested a number of public
spirited residents. They made an
agreement with the Suburban Electric
Company, which had its wires near
Elmhurst, with the result that to-
night, for the first time, portion of
the town is as well lighted as its
neighbor, San Leandro.
This is the only Unincorporated
town in the county that is lit by cleo
tricity. Those who contributed to the
contract are w. D. Sanborn, w. A.
Leggett, C. A. Daehn, e. B. Freese, ].

Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Aug. John
c. Hoagland of McKittrick was shot
by Beverly English and instantly killed
last night at 1920 in a camp near the
beach at Cayucos. Although an in
quest was held to-day no explanation
of the affair could be obtained, there
being no eye witnesses to the shooting
English had lived with the Hoagland
family for the past three years. The
party arrived at CayucOs about 3
O'Clock yesterday afternoon from Nc
Kfttrick and pitched their tent among
other campers.
AS near as can be learned, after
spending the evening together in the
Cayucos saloons the two men went to
their camp and quarreled. English
shot HOagland twice with a 22-caliber
rifle.
Mrs. Hoagland heard the men quar-
reling when they arrived and heard her
husband order English out of the camp
The shots quickly followed, but in the
darkness little could be seen. English
gave himself up as soon as he could
find an officer. After the inquest he
was brought to San Luis Obispo and
lodged In jail.
The jury, after listening to the testi-
mony of eleven campers, found a YER
dict Of death from gunshot wounds.
Mrs. Hoagland has several children
with her and has come to San Luis
Obispo with her camp outfit. English
is young man and a brother of I'm
dertaker Robert English of Arroyo
Grande. Hoagland was an old man,
while his wife is quite young.

w. S. Melick, secretary of the State
Board of Examiners, has begun an ex-
pert examination of the accounts OF
various philanthropic institutions in
this neighborhood which are recipients
of State aid. This work inaugurates
a semi-annual inspection of all such
institutions in the State
Secretary Melick shows that $3.50
orphan children are partly supported
by the State. which makes an annual
appropriation of $4,000 for the pur-
pose. In Oakland and it's environs
there are five orphan asylums or chill
drens homes that receive State aid.
The amounts disbursed to these in
stltutlons are as follows: Fred Finch
Orphanage, $1,000; Beulah Orphanage,
$1,000; Golden Gate Orphanage, $4,000;
Ladies Relief Society Home, $500;
west Oakland Home, $500.
These inspections will be carried on
as a check upon impositions which
Melick says are practiced by parents
on the homes. He declares that many
half-orphans are sent to the asylums
when either father or a mother is
amply able to support them.
Melick announced that of the school
bonds recently sold by Oakland the
State Board of Examiners had
purchased 1920 900 worth at par, using
State school land funds to pay for the
securities.

BURGLARS ARE AT WORK
IN ALAMEDA COUNTY
Homes Ransacked in Oakland. Berke-
ley and Pleasanton, but Little
Is Taken.

OAKLAND. Aug. Mrs. H. Kurz,
residing at 404 Twelfth street. has re-
ported to the police that a burglar
stole household effects from the place
last night.
BERKELEY, Aug. "A burglar
entered the house of Robert H. Wet
more of 1923 Hearst avenue last night
while the family was sleeping and
ransacked the rooms on the lower floor.
1t all availed him nothing, however,
for he got only two bananas and an
apricot for his trouble. A satin piano
cover that he carried out of the house
was found after search about the
place.
PLEASANTON, Aug. 2.-The homes
of several we'll known residents of
Pleasanton were entered last night by
a burglar, among them being the res
idence of Constable L. Locke. In ONLY
one case did the marauder secure any,
thing of value. He entered the house
of Fred Elliott and secured 50 so. The
other houses entered were those of T.
e. Adams, A. B. Philpot and III. r..
Hewitt.

Division No. SO Of the order of Rail-
road Photographers, which is the division
Of that order covering the lines. of the
Southern Pacific Company. has followed
the recent moves of President Harri-
man in consolidating his railroad in
terests, and hereafter Division No. 50
viii include all Of the Hartman lines
west of Green River Wyo., New Or
/ leans. La, and south of Portland, Or.
An order has just been issued by Grand
President II. B. Perham of the Order
of Railroad Photographers from his
headquarters at St. Louis notifying W.
+. Davidson of this city that from Aug
ust ] his jurisdiction as chairman of
Division No 80 would include not only
the old Southern and Central Pacific
lines, but also the Oregon Short Line,
the Oregon Railroad and Navigation
Company and that portion of the Union
Pacific between ogden, Salt Lake and
as far east as Green River. This makes
Division No. SO the largest in the
United States. both in point of mileage
and membership.
This change in the jurisdiction was
made in order to facilitate Davidson s
handling of the work of the order.
When Hartman divided his railroads
into a number of sections under gen
eral managers he changed the old juno
ton points that had existed for so
many years. At Salt Lake City w. H.
Bancroft was given charge of the old
Central Pacific Railroad from Sparks,
New, to ogden, and of the Union Pa
cific Railroad from Ogden to Green
River, and also of the Oregon Short
Line, while to Z. Z. Calvin at Portland
was given the Oregon Railroad and
Navigation Company in addition to his
lines Of the Southern Pacific Company
in Oregon. Perham decided that the
work Of Davidson upon this coast was
so satisfactory and his relations with
the officials of the company were so
cordial that he would add this new ter
ritOry to his jurisdiction, which may in
time extend over the entire Union Pa
cific system.
The headquarters of Division No. SO
is in this city, with Mr. Davidson as
the head and D. w. Koppikus as the
secretary. The divisions of the order
that formerly existed upon the Oregon
Railroad and Navigation Company S
lines and upon the Oregon Short Line
have been discontinued The new divi-
sion has over 1000 members.

action of the San Francisco and Port
land steamship companies in deciding
not to carry cargoes destined for ports
in the war zone of the Orient, the Bos-
ton Steamship Company and the Nip
pom Yusen Kaisha of Seattle are pre-
pairing to increase their fleets in order
to handle the increased export and
import trade which they believe will
be DETECTED to this port. The Boston
Steamship Company has made offers
for two extra boats and states that
in case the trade demands it they will
secure others. Officials of both COM
panies give it as their belief that the
business of Puget Sound will greatly
increase through the action of the
southern companies.
