WILL DEMAND.
GUARD Gates
Special Dispatch to The CAN.

COLMA, June 6.-The death OF Mrs An
ME E. Owen, who was killed at Cypress
Lawn Cemetery on Memorial day by a
Southern Pacific train, has aroused an
agitation here and elsewhere in San Ma
teo County that will take form at an
early day before the Board of Super
visors. The citizens are determined that
the railroad company shall place guard
gates at the various cemeteries to protect
the large crowds that visit the cities of
the dead every day in the week
AT present there is absolutely no pro-
lection for pedestrians against the rail-
road trains, which pass with alarming
frequency and practically without warn
ing. Narrow escapes from death are re-
ported each day and on holidays the
hazard is greatly increased. At Holy
Cross Cemetery the danger is greater than
elsewhere, as the railroad track curves
above and below the station.
Measures will be taken at once to pc
tition the Board of Supervisors Of the
county to demand Of the railroad com
pany that 1T place guard gates without
delay wherever they are needed.

Special Dispatch to The Call

SAN MATEO, June 6.-The Board of
Trustees of the town Of San Mateo. the
High School Trustees and the Library
Trustees are in dilemma from which
no amount of argument or discussion
seems able to extricate them. The
Carnegie gift OF $4,000 for public
library building is deemed insufficient
for a town of the Importance of San
Mateo, yet the authorities do not feel
justified in refusing such, a sum for so
worthy purpose. A suitable site can
not be obtained unless $4,000 more is
raised by public-spirited citizens. How
to secure this sum of money is the
problem which is agitating the three
local bodies. The High School trustees
will permit the building to be erected
on the High School grounds when the
additional sum has been raised but not
before. AS no other site is In view
every effort will be made to increase
the total subscription. Assistance has
been asked from the Town Trustees
and they have referred the matter to
the Finance Committee.
The High School Trustees and the
Library Trustees also have agreed upon
a joint session to discuss ways and
means AS partial effort to raise the
money the Women's Club will give on
June II a grand patriotic fete, for
which elaborate preparations are under
way.

MARSHAL ST|RS
BUSINESS men
Merchants of Berkeley Noti-
fled That Sidewalks Are
to Be Kept Unobstructed

BERKELEY, June 6.-Evildoers have
felt the heavy hand of Berkeley's new
Marshal during the few weeks that
have passed since his election on April
10, but now some of the most respect
able and prominent business men of the
university town are to become victims
of his indefatigable activity.
Announcement was made at the po-
lice headquarters to-day that every
merchant in Berkeley, every real estate
man and any one else who has business
down town will be notified that OBJ
struetions which have hitherto been al
lowed on the sidewalks must be re-
moved, and removed at once.
Marshal Vollmer has dug up an old
ordinance on this subject, the provi-
sions of which have been violated by
nearly everybody who does business on
the principal streets. This ordinance
makes 1t d misdemeanor to blockade
the pavements with any sort of OBJ
struction, and a fine and Imprisonment
may be meted out to any offender. The
diligent Marshal says he will see to it
that the law is strictly enforced.
We're no longer a village commu-
nifty, IL we ever were one" said Marshal
Vollmer to-day. IF the law has been
dfsregarded and it's violations winked
at, it's time for a change. / hope the
merchants won't fancy that we propose
TO persecute them or make it inconven-
lent for them to do business, but the
law is good one, citizens generally
Will be glad to see 1t enforced and so
the rule will be made that all violators
must be punished"
