BERKELEY, July Without

BERKELEY, July Without half
West Berkeley Social Settlement have
already got promises of support, moral
and financial, from many of the friends
of the institution. The campaign has
not been fully launched yet, but when
it starts many others are ex
pected to yield to the influences being
brought to bear in behalf of the great
work. Hart Greensfelder, one of the
resident workers at the settlement, is
the leader Of the campaign committee
and has received encouragement from
numerous sources. A board of trustees,
numbering among its members some
of the most prominent of the people
of Town and Gown, has been selected,
too, to assist in the perpetuation of the
work.
1T is surprising" Mr.. Greensfelder
says, "the number of people interested
in the work. l. find that there is a
unanimous advocacy in it's behalf. The
settlement has Influenced the whole
West Berkeley district and it has come
to such a pass now that it can
not stop.
1T ought to be an easy matter to
raise $250O to support the settlement
for year. We ought not to fold our
arms simply because Mrs. Hearst has
withdrawn her support l think we
will be able to show that the friends
are so loyal to the settlement that they
are willing to make some sacrifices and
help us finance it. Perhaps in the fu-
ture the burden will not be so heavy"
1t will take all CT the $2500 to be
raised to pay for materials used by
the children of the settlement and the
thousand and one incidental expenses.
Through Mrs. Hearst's generosity many
expenditures will be avoided. She has
relinquished all her interest in the
property of the home, which includes
the lot at Ninth and Addison streets,
the tennis courtS gymnasium, printing
room and house furnishings, so that it
will only need the money for actual
running expenses to carry on the
work.
The settlement will be managed by
the board Of trustees, on which the fol-
lowing persons have been asked to
serve President Wheeler, Professor
Ernest c. Moore, School Superinten-
dent S. D. Waterman. Professor Adolph
c. Miller, Thomas Rickard, Frank M.

Cash in His Pockets.
Berkeley Office San Francisco Call,
214S Center Street, July 1.
Not satisfied with taking all Of
Charles Gilmartin's money, three
masked highwaymen last night beat
him into insensibility in a lonely part
of West Berkeley. The thugs were
evidently displeased with Gilmartin
because he had only 50 in his pockets
and so proceeded to take some salts
faction out of his person.
Gilmartin was set upon late in the
evening while going from his duties
at the West Berkeley Ink Works. The
men jumped out from dark place in
the street and leveIing revolvers at
him compelled-him TO give up his 81
in cash. One of the thugs took the
money with an oath and then knocked
Gilmartin down. The mans com
panions followed his example and
helped to kick and beat their victim.
Gilmartin came to his senses some
time later and made his way to his
home. His face bears the marks of
the highwaymen's blows

The 10 non Mormon counties
could have defeated Gooding and the
ticket Of the church allies by over
1000 votes and the six Mormon
counties would have defeated the
GENTLE will in the state.
By Topping off majorities equally
between Roosevelt and Gooding it is
seen that Roosevelt could have car
ried the non Mormon counties by
IL, 500 majority and the church
allies have been defeated and demo-
cratic ticket successful.
In the six Mormon counties Parker
could have won by 400 votes and
Gooding still be elected on the re-
turns as they stand.
Still audacious papers who feel
that the opposition is too badly
whipped to distinguish falsehood
from truth, unblushihgly assert that
the opponnts of church dictation had
no case. They had a case that took
5000 Roosevelt votes from the
church combination and added it to
the other side in the first battle, and
in two years when there is no presi-
dent to elect it will take the other
6, 900.
