STREETCAR COMPANY
TO EXTEND SERVICE
Oakland Transit Company May Run
Its Telegraph Avenue Cars Into

BERKELEY, June 1s.-Out of a Sc

tee representing the North Berkeley
Improvement Club and James Potter,
assistant general superintendent of the
Oakland Transit Company, have come
a number Of promises from the COM
pany to extend its service in several
directions. While not giving positive
assurance, the company is very likely
to extend its Telegraph avenue main
line service into North Berkeley via
Oxford street over the tracks of the
present branch line. This is very much
desired by the North Berkeley people.
Superintendent Potter is authority for
the statement that the company will
soon turn the whole Of the Grove street
line into broad gauge system and run
through to Rose street, in North
Berkeley. This will do away with the

THIEF GIVEN
A LONG TERM
Frank Tietz, a RObber OF
HenrOOsts, Is Sentenced to
Twelve Years at Folsom
is AN OLD OFFENDER
Guilty Of Wholesale Depre-
datiOns on the Barnyards
of the Fruitvale District
is AN OLD OFFENDER
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
1915 broadway. June Is.

1016 Broadway, June 1S.
Frank Tietz, a convicted chicken
thief, was sentenced to twelve years
in Folsom prison to-day by Judge S.
P. Hall. The severity of the sentence
was due to the fact that he had been
convicted before and Judge Hall in
sentencing him stated that from his
conduct it was evident he had no
thought of reforming.
Tietz was convicted Of burglary in
the first degree. He was caught only
after months of wholesale robbing of
henroosts and the entire district about
Fruitvale had suffered from his depre-
dations. His mistake was made in
being unable to distinguish in the dark
between finely bred Brahmas and the
ordinary barnyard fowl. He stole thir-
teen prize fowls from John Russell and
sold them to a poultry dealer for 81.
Russell. in search of his birds, recog-
nized them. He got an excellent de-
scription of the thief, whom the de-
tectives soon had in custody.
TietZ had nothing to say to-day
when sentence was passed upon him.
but was partially prepared for the
severity of the sentence by the fact
that his having been convicted of a
felony before made the minimum pun
ishment that the court could give ten
years.

Oakland Council to Call

Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
1o16 Broadway, June IS.
The City Council has decided to
submit the bond question to the voters
Of Oakland without waiting for the
vacation time to end. At an informal
conference of the members of the mu-
nicipal legislature tonight it was
agreed that as soon as the City En-
gineer could complete some work now
on hand the bonds would be submit
ted. 1t has been the general opinion
Of the Councilmen that 1t would not
be advisable to submit the bond ques-
ton TO vote until the summer trav-
elers had all returned from their va
cations and up to tonight there has
been a general understanding that the
bonds would not go before the voters
until some time in the fall, probably
not until the general election.
All this was changed tonight and
the moment the preliminary work is
completed the bonds will be voted
upon. This will probably be early in
August.
The preliminary work has been
done except to plat out some of the
proposed parks. This is now in the
hands Of City Engineer Turner.

Renndiate Suicides Policy.

of Livermore, on the ground that de-
ceased committed suicide. In an answer
to a suit brought against the Supreme
Lodge of the order by Harry NJ. Setback,
son of deceased, a section of the consti-
tuition is quoted absolving the lodge
from responsibility when a member
takes his own life within five years
after becoming a member. The point
will be pressed as to whether such a
clause is legal.
