Lieut.. Johnson, who accompanied

season, writes that the party will
be ready to start on the overland
trip from St. Paul to Idaho by May
18th.
ST. Paul should have at least one
grand, wide central avenue for the
business houses. Third street is
too narrow and crooked. Some
street should be chosen before prop
erty values are too high for this
purpose. Business men have al
ready refused to locate here on ac-
count OF our streets. With an un-
broken line, regular grade, wide
streets and sixteen foot sidewalk,
we would see on a beautiful day
thousands promenading that beauti-
full avenue, stores filled with ladies
and children and a generally met
ropolitan air. The enterprise
would soon pay for itself with the
influx OF population and industries
which it would attract.

Regarding Proposed Unit

ALAMEDA, July Decentralization
of this city with Oakland and Berkeley
was discussed at a meeting of the Ala
media Advancement Association to-
night, and at the conclusion of the
speaking a vote was taken, which
showed that the 200 persons in attend
ance were unanimously opposed TO the
project.
President George w. Scott of the
Advancement Association directed the
discussion and announced at the OPEN
ing of the meeting that the board of
directors OF the organization were un-
aIterabiy opposed to the consolidation
of Alameda with any other municipal
ity.
City Attorney NJ w Simpson gave 1T
as his opinion that the adoption of a
freeholders' charter would not protect
Alameda from being swallowed up by
the larger city across the estuary, But
he said that he was not inclined to
think that the Legislature would pass
any enabling act that would permit
Oakland to annex Alameda without the
consent Of the majority of voters of this
city.
Judge r. p. Tappan asserted that
Alamedans are proud of their city and
its government and did not feel that
their condition could in any way be i'm
proved by joining Oakland.
This is cur home" said Judge Tap
pan. and there is no place like home
George Renner said he was against
annexation until it could be proven
that Alameda would derive some bene-
fit by becoming 2 part of Oakland.
Oakland wants Us and viii eventu-
ally get US if we do not fight this move
ment tooth and nail" said Charles S.
Neal. Il have not as much confidence
as TO what the Legislature might do as
has Simpson. Unless we organize and
oppose annexation the time will come
when strangers viii take our home city
from us"
Colonel f. w Maslin declared that
the adoption of "a freeholder charter
would prevent annexation. Others who
spoke were F. y. Delaney. p. w. Bar

from a gun with which his brother.

So far as the childrens parents could
learn, the older boy did not know that
the weapon was loaded. He and his
little brother had found the gun stand
ing behind a door. They carried the
weapon outside, and not until the ex-
plosion occurred did either of the boys
realize what danger they were in.
The father was attracted by the

TOWN AND GOWN WOMEN
WANT TREES PROTECTED
Ask Trustees to Amend Ordinance So
as TO Permit Cutting Under
Restrictions.


BERKELEY, July ia sequel to
the recent cutting of five elm trees
on Center street in violation of town
ordinance was provided tonight when
a committee of the Town and Gown
Club furnished the Board of Trustees
with suggestions on the subject of tree
destruction in communication signed
by the president and members of the
civic section of the club. 1t was the
club that took up the cause of the
trees when they were cut two weeks
ago and threatened to prosecute the
destroyer. although things were after
ward smoothed over.
Now the Town and Gown women
want two things done to the ordinance
that regulates the cutting Of trees and
in seeking to have it amended they
believe they are going to conserve the
best interests of the town. First, they
want the ordinance amended so if any
body does want to cut o tree down he
may do so without going to Jail for it.
The ordinance is now so framed that
it does not allow any exceptions. Sec
ond, they want only the Board of
Trustees to issue permits to cut down
trees, consent to be given only after
careful investigation and vote of the
board. The request for these changes
is signed by Mrs. J. c. Lynch, presi-
dent of the club; Mrs. A. ]. Ralston,
chairman of the civic section; Mrs.
Frank H. Payne. Mrs. K. A. Easton
and Mrs. Allen G.. Freeman. The
Trustees assigned the communication
to the City Attorney for action.

ECU ALITY WILL

Regulars and State Militia
Will Meet on Same Foot
ing at Camp AtascaderO

The coming big field exercises at
Camp Atascadero are monopolizing
practically all the attention of officers
in command of the different depart
ments located at army headquarters
and at the Presidio. The maneuvers
of the combined forces Of the United
States Government of this department
and the militia of the State in accord
ance with the plans mapped out by
General Macarthur are to be of a
dignified character.
The exercises are in no way to smack
of a picnic party. Absolutely no con-
cessions are to be granted to any one
desiring to locate upon the scene of
action to sell wares of any kind. APP
plication after application has been
showered on General Macarthur for
such privileges, but in every instance
they have been denied To eliminate
any possible intrusion of such con-
tingent a picket guard will be estab-
lished around the camp.
The Government has empowered Gen
eral Macarthur to arrange for every
convenience that can be accorded to
officers and enlisted men in camp life,
regulars and militia to meet on an ac-
tually equal footing.
Every comfort will be extended to
the National Guard in accordance with
regulations of army life. The same
, rations and commissary privileges that
the regulars enjoy will be extended to
the State militia.
The regulars are under orders to be
in camp by the night of August 8. So

During the two weeks encampment
there will be number of battle ex-
ercises. but these will not be intended

idea of this big rendezvous is to give
the soldiers of the State a genuine

WRONG TO LET
NATIVES VOTE
Professor Bernard Moses
Says Hawaiians Are Not
Fit to Hold Suffrage
Berkeley Office San Francisco Call,
214S Center Street. July II.

Ito CCAtCA hAlNtNf AlS II.
The enfranchisement of the natives of
Hawaii with the full rights of suffrage
when the United States accepted the
islands as part of the national terrific
ry is regarded by Professor Bernard
Moses. professor of history at the Uni
versity of California and formerly
Philippine Commissioner, as one of the
gravest political mistakes this country
has ever committed. In a lecture before
his class to-day at the university Pro-
fessor Moses criticized severely the
granting of the high privilege of suf-
frage to a class of people who had no
conception of government in the sense
obtaining among the educated masses
of the United States.
mo graver mistake was ever made
than 70 give universal suffrage to the
Hawaiian natives" said Professor
Moses. They were a more or less ig-
norant people, having little. learning
and no knowledge at all of civilized
government. They had never had po-
litical training and could not be expect
ed to know the significance of the bal
lot. To trrs+ them with the ballot was
a very 1nwise thing from my point of
view. And l have no doubt that the
ruling classes in the islands have the
same view, for they know the condi-
tions better.
"All the internal troubles of the Ha-
waiian government are due to this mis-
take The native and his sympathizers
are in the majority, and the result is
that the representatives they choose
are not of the best. There is a bitter
antagonism between the two classes in
the islands.
There is a sentiment in this country
at the present time that one man is as
useful politically as another. That is
probably why the suffrage was given
to the Hawaiians. If this equality is
ever realized it will be the greatest
historical event from the beginning Of
the world to the present time. 1t may
be realized some time, but it is too
early vet"

money lender, was arrested to-day on
a charge of unlawfully uprooting elm
trees that had been planted in front of
his property at 4O7 Telegraph avenue
in harmony with scheme of beauti-
flying that thoroughfare. Barnett
chopped down a tree several weeks
ago and was arrested on a charge of
malicious mischief. To-day the COM
plant was that he had violated city
ordinance which prohibits the removal
of trees without permission of the
Board of Public Works. Barnett
claims the trees are injurious to his
property.
