Man Registering as Jack" COrbett
of New York Makes Away

Who is Jack" Corbett Of New York?
The police have a desire to know and
their inquisitiveness is stimulated by
a similar desire expressed by the man
agement of the Palace Hotel and the
members of a well-known local bust
ness firm. Yesterday forenoon tall,
we'll dressed young man, bearing the
semblances of an innocent traveller,
presented himself at the counter of
the Palace and grabbing up a pen
hurriedly scrawled Jack COrbett, New
York. on the register page, asked for
a room and bath. mumbled something
about his three trunks coming along
soon and then turned about and fol-
lowed a bellboy up to the room as
signed to him by the clerk.
Two hours later a delivery man
from a Kearny-street clothing firm
asked anxiously concerning Corbett at
the cashiers window of the hotel. He
explained that Corbett had purchased
$50 worth of clothing from the firm
and had ordered it delivered at once
to the Palace, where he said he would
be prepared to pay for it. The man
took the clothes to COrbetts room,
where the latter adorned himself with
the articles and after apparently sat
isfying himself that the fit was sat
isfactory, told the delivery man TO
take seat while he went down to
the office to cash a check. The man
waited for half an hour for the return
of Corbett and then becoming alarmed
went to the hotel Office. where he was
informed that the new guest had
cashed no checks there and had not
been seen since he had engaged his
room. As a matter of fact, he has not
been seen since then by any one con-
nected with the hotel and the suspi-
cion prevails that he took a room for
no other purpose than to dupe the To-
cal clothiers.

San Francisco and San Jose
Railway in Real Estate Deal
Berkeley Office San Francisco Call,
214S Center Street, Feb. 6.


214S Center Street, Feb. g.
In the sale of a piece of property that
has just been made the people of Wal
nut street think they see the first move
of the San Francisco, Oakland and San
Jose Railway in it's campaign to secure
a right -of-way through their street
into North Berkeley. A good deal of
mystery envelops the transaction and
the parties to it refuse to commit
themselves in any way.
The property in question, consisting
Of rs feet on Hearst avenue and AZ
feet on Berkeley way, was sold by
Frank E. Armstrong of Walnut street
to Walter E. Lucas for $4,000. That is
a pretty stiff price and one railroad
would pay only under pressure. Who
Lucas is is unknown TO Berkeley. Fran
els Ferrier, through whom the sale was
made. says he is a San Francisco spec
ulator. but he will not deny that he is
connected with the key Route" Mr..
Ferrier himself is understood to be very
close to the Oakland Transit and Key
Route" officials and it is known that
he has engineered number OF real es-
tate deals for them in Berkeley.
If the Key Route" has really ac-
quired the property, it has removed
one barrier to it's entrance into North
Berkeley by way of Walnut street. The
only thing that intervenes now is the
property between University avenue
and Berkeley owned by Mrs. Saran
Acheson and others. Walnut street, II
continued from Hearst to University
avenue. would cut through all this
property.
Some time ago the Board of Trustees
was petitioned to open Walnut street
hut the residents objected on the
ground that the railroad sought to get
. franchise through it after the street
is opened. The people do not want
railroad through their street because 1t
is tco narrow thoroughfare.
Manager f. C. Havens is in the East
and w. F. Kelley said that if such a
move had been made he knew nothing
of IT. but that it might have been done
through half dozen different real es-
tate agents who made purchases for
the Realty Syndicate.

Korean Cinderella.

In Korea the people tell a Cinderella
story that is much more ancient than
that familiar to western people. The
key of the latter story is the slipper,
but not so theirs. Peach Blossom, the
Korean Cinderella's name, was the
family drudge. One day as the mother
was starting off with the favorite
daughter to picnic she said to Peach
Blossom: You must not leave until
you have hulled a bagful of rice and
filled the broken crock with water"
While sitting there bemoaning her hard
lot she heard a twittering and fluttering
of wings. Looking up she saw flock
of sparrows pecking the hulls off the
rice. Before recovering from her sur
prise a little imp jumped out of the
fireplace and so slxlllfully repaired the
crock that but a few minutes work
was required TO fill il with water Then
she went to the picnic and had a royal
time-Chicago News.

IS BANQUETED
DR.. Albert Shaw Is HOnOred
by Fifty Representative
Citizens of San Francisco
WRITER CHARMS HOS
Delivers Brilliant Address
on Municipal Reforms and
Business Administrations

One of the most able addresses ever
delivered before a gathering of business
men of San Francisco was given last
evening by DR.. Albert Shaw, the dis
tinguished editor of the Review of Re
views, who was the guest of honor at
banquet rendered him by fifty repre-
sentative citizens at. the Palace Hotel.
For two hours DIR. Shaw eIoquently
addressed his hosts on the subject of
municipal government, and those who
were fortunate enough TO listen to the
speaker were 10th to have him con-
clude.
The address was one of great instruc-
tive value and will certainly have good
results in San Francisco, for those who
heard the address are men who are
keenly interested in the upbuilding of
San Francisco and the jbetterment of
the conditions of the citizens of this
city.
Dr. Shaw spoke without notes, and
a tone of cheerful optimism was ever
present in his address. In telling of
conditions in New York City DR.. Shaw
spoke kindly of certain politicians. He
did not attack those who have opposed
municipal reform, and did not paint a
dark future for American cities strug-
Cling with grave problems. The address
was a plain, practical talk that carried
in every word, and was re-
warded with loud plaudits at it's con-
chIsion

INTRODUCED TO HOSTS.


Frank j. Symmes, who presided at
the banquet, briefly introduced DR..
Shaw to the gathering. The toastmas
ter paid a tribute to the ability of the
guest of honor and declared him to be
one of the greatest authorities on mu-
nicipal government of the day.
DR.. Shaw was greeted with cheers
when he rose to speak. He modestly
stated that he was but a reporter Of
events and a student of municipal gov
ernment, and then told how he had first
| become acquainted with the possibili-
ties of introducing municipal reform in
American cities.
The speaker told how he had gone to
Scotland and there found the existence
of municipal reform. He described the
situation as he found it in that country
and how he had found the conception
of modern industrial community. He
said it was the height of his ambition
at that time to write an article on his
discovery and have it published.
DIR. Shaw then described his expe-
riences in other large cities, including
Manchester, Birmingham and London,
and how he had gone to France and
Germany to study municipal conditions
in Paris, Berlin, Vienna and other con-
tinental capitals.
In describing his experiences in the
cities mentioned DR.. Shaw said he found
everywhere a desire on the part Of some
men to benefit the conditions of the
people at large. He told of the effective
measures taken to fight epidemics and
to improve the dwellings of the poor.
He described the progress made in
those cities, and how the first step in
municipal reform started from a sani-
