REALTY men
HOLD MEETING
Discuss Matters Relating to
Oakland Business
Affairs.
Suggestion Made to Change
Name of City to East
San Francisco.

OAKLAND, May 1s-"East San
Francisco" rather than Oakland, is the
suggestion of F. A Stearns of the
Oakland Real Estate Association,
which last night held its annual meet
ing, the members listening to various
views on matters relating to their
business interests.
Stearns thinks East San Francisco
would be more appropriate than Oak
land In view Of the movement OF popu-
lation and the character Of It. But the
change OF name does not appeal as
strongly 10 the real estate men es
Stearns would have II. They discussed
the idea but did not go on record.
The annual election Of officers re-
suited as follows: President, W. j.
Laymance: vice president, James J.
Naismith; treasurer, Harry L. Hol-
comb; secretary. F. A. Stearns; execu-
tive committee. Tyrrell. G. w. Aus
tin and H. NJ. Cameron. The associa-
ton VIII actively move toward increas-
ing the membership as rapidly as pos
sible. Matters affecting the realty
business will be handled as they are
presented.

Cripple Cured by Dream.

Because he dreamed that robbers
had attacked him, George Gilpin, of
Marion, Ind, an aged man who has
been bedridden cripple for years,
is able to walk.
Gilpin suffered from dislocation of
the hip, but when he dreamed that
thugs were about to strangle him he
struck with both hands and kicked
with both feet. When he awoke he
was doing gymnastic feats worthy of
an athlete.
He was greatly surprised to find
that he was using his right leg,
which had been powerless for years.
He attempted to walk and found
that he could. Surgeons say that
while Gilpin was asleep the muscles
and tendons became relaxed and
when the violent exercise brought
about by the dream occurred the
dislocated hip Joint dropped back in
to place.

English sparrows are closely relat-

They have appetites which justly

for making a noise excells that of ten

HELLO CENTRAL!"
What Wonders Have Been
Wrought Since First Cali
in 1878.

Hello, Central!" was first heard
IN 1873. Today the exchanges are
numbered by the thousand, the tese-
phones by the millions. Various in
dustries. unknown thirty years ago,
but now sources of employment to
many thousands of workers, depend
entirely upon the telephone for sup
port. Numerous factories making
lead sheating, dynamOs, motors,
generators, batteries, Office equip
ments. tables and many other ap-
pliances, would have to close down
and thus throw their operatives into
idleness and misery if the telephone
bell should cease to ring. The Bell
Company employ over $1,000 per-
sons, and it may be added, pay them
well. Many Of these employees have
families to maintain; others support
their parents or aid younger broth
ers and sisters. 1t is safe to say
that 100000 people look to the tele-
phone for their daily bread. These
figures may be supplemented by the
number of telephones in use $685.
OOO) by the number of miles of wire
(6,O43, OOO) in the Bell lines. and by
the number of conversations 2,479.-
10000 electrically conveyed m
1905. The network of wire connects
more than SO, 900 cities. towns, VII
lagos and hamlets. Such tremeD-
dous growth as these statistics show
would not only imply steadily in
creased appreciation of the telephone,
but would also suggest improved IN
struments, more skillful operators
and better service. There would be
no flattery in such suggestion. Eec-
trical science has undergone radical
reformation since 1878. Telephony
has raised the utilization of electri-
city to the height of a profession.
OF course, such advances have not
been won without cost. Fortunes
were spent in experiment and inves-
tigation before a dollar came back.
Communication by the first tele-
phone was limited to few thousand
feet. Now conversation can be car
ried on by persons 1000 miles apart.
Tomorrow long distant lines will
span the continent; and the day aft
err oceanic telephony will be CON-
monplace of mercantile routine. But
science and money had to collabor-
ate for years before they could work
the miracle Of enabling Boston and
Omaha to talk together.

The Kind You Have Always Bought
s' s,ass ss: Of &xAZzZx
Washington Letter.

Much satisfaction has Teen eX-
pressed over the determination of
Secretary Shaw to deposit SIG, 000,-
600 in government funds with the
principal depository banks Of the
country in order to help out the
present money stringency. WHAT
the banks are most in need of at
the present moment is ready cash,
and the government is willing to re-
ceive in the Treasury as security any
bonds, which, according to the laws
of New York and Massachusetts,
have been rated as satisfactory Sc
curity for savings banks. The liquid
funds thus made available will help
out considerable in the interior
where ready money is required for
moving crops. The larger deposits,
of course, will go to New York and
Chicago, but 26 different cities from
Boston, Mass, to New Orleans and
Sioux Falls, will also benefit, and
while some of the money may be
used in speculation as the movement
of the stock market indicated soon
after the announcement of these de-
posts was made, it will help the
country at large at time when the
money market was sorely in need of
help.
In the general antitrust campaign
which has now been inaugurated.
much the most important movement
is the preparation of the suit against
the Standard Oil Company, which
only awaits the approval of Attor-
ney General Moody before it is put
into effect. Just how this campaign
is going to be conducted has not yet
been divulged by the government,
but three of the best corporation
lawyers obtainable have been re-
tanned as special council for the de-
partment of justice. They are
Messrs. Purdy, Morrison and Kel-
logg, the latter for sometime coun-
Gil for the United States Steel Cor
poration, and whose situation in that
corporation became unpleasant, if
not unterable, because we was not
willing to lend his services in the
fight against the Northern Securities
Company. All three of the gentle
named have kept in close touch
with Commissioner of Corporation
Garfield in the investigation that he
has made during the past two years
