The Independent (German) Order Of
Red Mems Grand Lodge met in annual
session yesterday morning in it's hall

The presiding officer, in his report,
called attention TO the fact that the
golden anniversary of the order will
fall in 1914, and suggested that at this
time the Grand Lodge ought to devise
ways and means to arrange for fund
in order to have a celebration suitable
to the occasion. The suggestion was
acted upon by the grand body levying
a twenty-cent per capita tax on the
entire membership. each year, during
the next eight years. The matter of ar
ranging for that event was left for a
future Grand Lodge to act upon

BICYCLES HAVE NO
RIGHT ON SIDEWALK
MAYOR Mott of Oakland We
toes Ordinance Granting
the Privilege.

OAKLAND, July a.-Mayor Mott to-
day vetoed the ordinance which proposed
to grant bicycle riders the privilege of
using the sidewalks outside of the fire
limits provided the cyclists dismounted
upon approaching pedestrian. The
veto Is based upon the enuncia ton by his
Honor that the bicycle is a vehicle and
that vehicles have no right on the side
walks, which, the Mayor says, should be
reserved for the exclusive use of pedes-
trfans. The Mayor recommends the
passage of an ordinance prohibiting the
use, of sidewalks by bicyclists.
In his me ssage to the City Council the
Mayor writes:
This city has tolerated for many years the
use of the sidewalks by bicyclists, but always
With some provision that was calculated to
The experience. however, of the municipality
is that these safeguards have generally proved
ineffective and persons are continually being
injured by careless and reckless riders who
fail to observe the law.
In my judgment of these regulations
be enforced satisfactorily, for the reason
that while there many careful and law
abiding persons who use this vehicle there
still great many others who are extremely
careless and who pay attention to the law
unless police officer happens to be in sight.
1t seems to me that there is but one rem
edy and that is to take our places with other
cities in this respect and prohibit bicycists
using the sidewalks at any and all times. In
know of no law or decision on this point
seriously doubt whether municipality has
right to permit vehicle to the side
walks under any conditions. l recommend to
nance prohibiting the OF the sidewalks by
bicycles, tricycles. etc.

WOULD SPOIL HIGHWAY
speeial plspateh 10 The call.


HALFMOON BAY. July 31.-The
proposition of the Ocean Shore Rail-
road to run it's main line through the
center of the town has not received
the unanimous Endorsement that was
expected from the citizens of Half
moon Bay 1t is claimed by many who
are vitality interested in the coming OF
the road that it will be the worst of
public policy to sacrifice the main high
way of the district to railroad that
necessarily will usurp all traffic and
force teams to seek a new avenue for
their business. A halt has been called
in the agitation to give the railroad
this new and valuable concession.
AS the road is planned now it will
run parallel with the beach and 1900
feet from the main street of the town.
This arrangement necessarily has it's
disadvantages and the railroad people
have agreed to run the, road into town
if a right of way is guaranteed by the
residents here. Such a guarantee will
cost between $1,000 and $4,000 for the
purchase of private property. The
money would be easily and quickly
raised, however, were it not for the
other and more important objection.
If the new railroad were TO run on
the main street of this town it would
usurp the main highway from Puris-
siTna to the new landing, a distance of
eight miles.
