st. Johns Episcopal Church was or
ganized in 1855 and is known as the
mother church" of Alameda County.
The church was established by the
Rev. Benjamin Akerly, d. D., who for
many years was its rector. The first
regular service was held on the first
Sunday after Epiphany, in 1855. in an
upper room on the corner of Broadway
and Seventh street. During the long
rectorship of DR.. Akerly, while st.
Johns was yet mission, it's clergy
man and people reached out to plant
new altars In other places, and to as
sist in maintaining those already set
up. To read the history of st. Johns s
Church is to read a very important
part of the history of the other Epis-
copal churches in Alameda County.
On Sunday morning, December IL,
1896, the main building of the church
was destroyed by fire. but the guild
room and the vestry were saved, and
with them were saved the parish rec
ords, containing all the more important
historical records of the church. The
present church building at Eighth and
Grove streets was erected almost on
the site of the one destroyed by fire
and the Rev. w. A. Brewer, who will
preach the jubilee sermon next Sunday
evening, preached the sermon at the
dedication of the new ediflce.

SUGAR BEETS
NEED THE sun
Chemistry Division of the
Department of Agriculture
Tells of It's Research

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-That high
temperature and sunshine are the
dominant factors in producing the best
quality of sugar beets is announced as
the result of five years experiments
which have just been concluded by the
chemistry division of the Department
of Agriculture. The data obtained is
expected by agricultural officials to
save immense amounts to capital by
pointing out on what sugar beet in
dustries should be instituted.
The experiments were made In To-
calities ranging from New York TO
North Carolina and entirely across the
continent The environments the in
f1uence of which sugar beets require,
the soil, cultivation and the period OF
artificial fertilization, temperature,
hours Of sunshine and of cloudiness.
elevation and latitude and longitude
are pointed out The results indicate
that high temperature is the greatest
of these factors in the producing of
beets with sunshine next in impor-
tance.
The average temperature of the To-
caIities, according to these results, not
exceeding 10 degrees Fahrenheit during
the three growing months. June, July
and August, is most desirable. Above
this figure richness of the beets con-
stantly diminishes, and the longer day
and consequently longer hours of sun
shine makes q location best fitted for
high sugared beets.

2l4S Center street, Jan. o.
The eyes OF Felipe Buencamino,
Filipino student at the State Univer-
sity. bulged out with delight to-day,
when he was shown copies OF the Gen.
tury magazine, containing an illus
trated article which described in eu-
logistic fashion young Buencamino's
father, who is some of the most proml-
nent Filipinos on the islands.
David Gray a correspondent and an
army officer from America spent
Christmas with the Buencaminos in
Manila, and Gray has written of the
family, and the Christmas celebration
enjoyed with it's. members.
The son, who is at the university, is
referred to in the article, in connection
with paragraph which describes the
senior Buencamino's habits of modern
thought
Pictures of the elder man, of his
wife and daughters adcrn the article,
and the youngster at the university
danced with delight as he recognized
the loved familiar faces, in scenes
which to him are home.
The elder Buencamfno is rated as one
of the most able of the F'ilipinos. For
his services to the American Govern
ment he has been rewarded with power
and position. His loyalty to the. Fill
pino people was not questioned during
their resistance TO both Spain and
America, but when wisdom and
patriotism (these being the words of
Buencaminos admirers) dictated that
the Filipino people could serve their
own interests better by cooperation
with Americans than by resisting
them, then Buencamino "came in,' as
the saying is. and with him most of the
influential men of his party.
Aguinaldo is friend and intimate
of the Buencaminos. Young Buencam-
ino. at the university. knows the ia
nous war chief of the FfIipinos from
having seen him at the Buencamino
household. The once belligerent war
rior is now at peace, but though de-
feated, Buencamino says he has not
lost his hold on the Filipinos, who still
revere him.

RETRACTS A STORY OF
ATTEMPTED POISONING
Wife Refuses ON Witness-Stand to
Substantiate Tale She Told Con-
cernine Her Husband

OAKLAND, Jan. 5.-"This case is
rotten was Prosecuting Attorney
Leach's comment to-day when he
heard Mrs. Vicente Addiago retract
her charges that her spouse had at
tempted TO poison her. as well as their
children, by putting rat poison in their
food. Mrs. Addiago was the chief wit
ness against her husband who was on
trial TO-DAY in the Police Court. She
did not much more than sustain
minor charge of battery she had also
made against Addiago. Police Judge
Mortimer Smith reluctantly dismissed
the more serious case, but convicted
the husband of battery and will SEN
tence him tomorrow.
When the wife applied for her hus-
bands arrest sheN insisted he had fol-
lowed the poisoning episode by Sc
verely beating and kicking her. The
best she would do for the prosecution
to-day was to admit Addiago slapped
her face.

had been expected to corroborate her
mother, was hopeIessly ignorant con-
corning the case when~she was placed

Street Inspector w. w. Blair and Su-
perintendent of Streets c. F. OFT with
a force of men armed with saws, picks,
hammers and tongs and guarded by
two policemen ripped, sawed, cut and
dug standing signboards, posts and
other sidewalk obstructions to-day
along Broadway. So far as the Street
Department force went they cleaned the
sidewalks thoroughly. The work will
be continued throughout the city.
The crusade was conducted in strict
adherence to the Mayors instructions.
Merchants were given twenty-four
hours notice to remove their street
signs. Those who did not heed the
word were visited as rapidly as the
street gang could move. Many old
signs were carted off to the corpora
tion yard, their owners preferring to
permit the city to remove them instead
of going to the expense themselves. The
work was accomplished without serious
objections. Here and there shopkeep-
er rebelled, but by dint of tactful ex-
panation Inspector Blair persuaded
the objecting one to join the procession.
Such signs as were taken in charge
by the city were those that had long
ago passed the stage of usefulness. 1t

TO cause unnecessary annoyance to
business men who have unwittingly
gone to heavy expense in installing
electrical displays. Reasonable time
will be given for reconstruction of such
signs so that they shall not obstruct
the streets or sidewalks.
Electric signs or others that are fast
TO buildings and can be, swung flush
with the property line when mot in use
will not be disturbed. There are num-
ber of signs which are set fast to posts
and project across the sidewalk. These
have been ordered down. Mayor Olney
said to-day after inspecting what had
been accomplished in the direction of
improvement that he was in favor of
continuing the movement until all side
walk distractions had been removed.
The next step will be toward ridding
the business section as rapidly as can
be done of all telegraph and telephone
poles.

police telegraph wires are above

posed of according to the same; that
lands not hitherto surveyed may be
surveyed and formed into farm units
of ten acres and that the Secretary of
the Interior may lease the lands for
