Expert From East Views
City With an Eye to
AdOrnment.

OAKLAND, April 4.-CharIes Mulford
Robinson. whose fame as an expert in
civic adornment is world wide, has re-
turned from Honolulu and tomorrow he
viii begin on his plans to make Oakland
/ ''tI1e city beautiful
When Mayor Frank K Mott was elect
ed the chief executive of the city he at
once got into communication with Robin
son. whose home is at Rochester N Z,
with a view to having him prepare plans
for a system of parks. and boulevards for
Oakland Robinson agreed to undertake
the work after completing a similar con-
tract at Honolulu, and several weeks ago
( he passed through Oakland on his way TO
/ the islands. He and Mayor Mott held a
conference at that time. and upon the adj
/ vice of the Mayor the City Council pro-
( vided for an appropriation to cover the
expenses.
! As a preliminary step the Mayor will
! accompany Robinson over The city tomor-
row morning, and City Engineer Turner
will furnish him the neces ssary maps with
which to begin the work. The plans will
not be completed for several weeks, as the
expert must go over every foot of the
ground before he begins to work out his
schme of Identification.
1t is the idea of the city authorities to
have Robinson devise d system of parks
and boulevards, always having for a cen
/ trail object the improvement of Lake Mer-
| ritt. Around that body of water, it is be-
! Iieved, with a chain of parks connected
by boulevards the city beautiful" can be
evolved. But there is. no idea of confining
the experts work to the lakeside district.
Every part of the city win be visited and
/ its beauty enhanced. e,.
Robinson,s plans will be carried out by
/ a bond issue if possible. If not the i'm
provements will be effected by. continuous
appropriations. The idea now is to secure
the plans of the noted expert as a basis
for the Improvements contemplated
In speaking of his work today Robinson
stated that he had not had an 0pp0rtu-
nifty to see-the city in detail, but judging
from maps and a view of the city from
| ferry-boats he believed it to be possessed
of natural advantages second to no city
in the United States. He was particularly
enthusiastic about Lake Merritt and the
! low hills back of Oakland.
After completing his work here Robin
son VIII go to Boise City, Idahe, and later
to I,os Angeles, in both of which cities he
will prepare plans for their identification.
Speaking of his work today Robinson
said. -
There is little for me TO say now, because 1
have not had an opportunity OF seeing Oakland,
but from the view ! obtained coming across
l the bax The things Mayor Mott has told me
and the study l have made of maps L have
been greatly suppressed. 1 believe that Oak
land is an ideal site for beautiful city, and
the expense of Improvement viii be small COM
pared tof that OF beautifying other ctfes.s l
would prefer TO say more until after l have
gone eyer the ground

L. w. McGlaufiin il. Creates
Sensation by Expressing
His Views in the Rev Case

ALAMEDA April 4.-Self- admitted
bias against the defendant on the part
of Deputy Constable Louis W. McGlauf-
lin Jr., who had subpenaed venire or
forty citizens from which jury was to
be selected to try John w. Rev. charged
with making a book on a horse race in
violation of municipal ordinance.
caused City Justice r. 3. Tappan TO
dismiss the entire panel today upon mo-
tion of Attorney A. Il. st. Sure, repre-
senting the defense. McGlauf1in ac-
knowledged, in reply to questions put
him by St Sure, that he was church
member in sympathy with the REFORM
movement now in progress here ana
that he had summoned talesmen whom
he thought would stand for the conv1c-
ton of Rev.
st. Sure undertook to question Nc
Glaufiin as to his religion. but Justice
Tappan checked examination along that
line. McGlauf1in testified that he knew
the Rev. P. c. Macfarlane and that he
was himself interested in the crusade
for the betterme1tt Of civic conditions.
Witness said that he had been asked
by City Attorney NJ. w. Simpson to act
as a deputy constable for the purpose
of sunmoning jury panel in the Rev
case and that he had been appointed
deputy constable by Constable George
E. Clarke last Thursday. ST. Sure re-
marked that 1t was strange that a Spe-
cial man should be sworn in as a dep
uty constable to subpoena talesmen
when there was a Chief of Police with
a force of officers to do the work.
City Attorney Simpson arranged to
have McGlauf1in summon the venire be-
cause of his belief that the Police De-
partment and many of its members are
themselves involved in some of the
cases now before the local courts and
are preju6iced against the prosecution.
Justice Tappan. after discharging the
panel today, ordered another venire of
talesmen to be secured for next Tues
day. when the Rev case will again be
taken up.

habeas corpus was denied by Judge Og-
den this afternoon. Rev is tobac-
conist, who was arrested in Alameda
on the complaint of Rev. p. c. Mac
farlane for selling cigarettes in viola
ton of city ordinance. Judge Ogden
stated that so far as the State was
concerned the law seemed conStitu-
tional and told Attorney A r st. Sure
that If the interstate commerce act had
been violated this could only be tested
in the Federal Court. St. Sure. at the
close of the case. gave notice that he
would take the matter into that court.

Some Pertinent ''DOnt'S."

The following from the pen of 4
man who has long employed girls in
office work, is intended for the good
of the class generally:
Don't be late to your work and
then expect consideration because
you are young lady.
Don't expect to be treated as if you
were in society. You are probably
doing the work that was formerly
done by a man, and if in small ways
you are not considered as much as
you are at home, remember that YOU
are in business.
Don't have your friends come in to
see you during business hours. No
gentlemanly employer will insult them
but some less particular man might.
Don't let your friends ring you up
at the office, even during the lunch
hour, and especially not during work
ing hours.
Don't complain constantly about
your work. If your work is not con.
genial to you, make up your mind to
get some other employment, but don't
whine-that never helped anyone.

"THE FREIGHT BILL" DODGE.
Worked for a While Until Marshal VIII
son Took a Hand.

Monday young boy, who is a
cripple, and not very bright
mentally, came to town with 8
horse, which he bought from one
Simpson, south of the river, last
fall. He sold the horse, a saddle
and gun, for $50. Marshal
Wilson saw a suspicious looking
character talking with the boy
after the sale, and kept an eye on
him. It later developed that this
fellow conned" the boy out of
Dis money, claiming he had a
bunch of horses at the stock yards.
and wanted the boy to go with
him at a good salary to help take
care OF them; but that he needed
about $50 to pay freight on them
before he could put them on the
market and; he got it. BIT Mr..
Wilson kept an eye on him. and
although he went to the Santa Fe
depot, ostensibly to ask about a
train, his stories to the marshal
did not look good to that officer
and he was persuaded to take up
lodging for time in the city
bastile.

you of lad of fifteen you can

to worry him. The chief cause of
