OFFICIALS RETICENT

OAKLAND. Dec 30.-The Calls ex-
elusive announcement that the Western
Pacific Railroad had secured control of
the Union National Bank as a medium
through which to handle its financial
interests has created much comment in
business circles on this side Of the bay.
The move is one calculated to give
Oakland still greater prestige in the
financial and commercial world. Be
sides establishing a center for the
heavy money operations of the Gould
system, the transaction means without
doubt the determination of the new
oomers to make this city one of the
most important locations on its West
ern lines.
The bank is rated well and is one Of
the most conservative institutions in
the State For many years its princi-
pal stockholders. and, in fact, controll-
Ing interests have been the Adams. The
head of the bank is Thomas Prather,
who represents the investments of his
deceased wife, Mrs. Julia Adams Pra-

Charles Adams, held the control. Ne

PREPARE TO HONOR GREAT CHEMIST
Semi Centennial Anniversary Of Dis
covery by Dr.. William Perkin to
be Celebrated.

NEW YORK. N. Y, June 1.-The
committee formed by the Chemist
club Of this city to frame plans to
commemorate the semi centennial an
niversary of the discovery by DR.. Will
liam Henry Perkin of the chemical
uses of coal tar has decided in favor
of the establishment of a library Of
works on chemistry, probably to be
known as the Perkin library, and to
cost $4,000, the appropriation of $4,000
for a Perkin medal and a token to DR..
Perkin and a dinner on October 6, at
which the distinguished chemist is ex-
pected to be present.
1t is planned that the Chemists
club be made national institution,
with nonresident members, who will
have the use of the books in the new
library for $500 a year. There are to
be two sets of books, one for local
reference and the other for circulation
throughout the country. Ten thousand
dollars has already been promised to-
wal d the establishment of this library.
The Perkin medal is to be awarde,
annually to an American chemist for
distinguished work in technical chem
istry. The dinner was fixed tentatively
for October 6, but, if necessary, the
date of the banquet will be changed
to suit the convenience of Dr. Perkin,
!! who is in England. A feature of the
dinner will be a symposium on the
development of the coal tar industry.
DR.. Perkins discovery fifty years
ago. when he produced his first color,
mauve, from coal tar, has become an
only because of the aniline colors pro-
duced, but also on account of the
value of the discovery in Synthetic
chemistry. The. anniversary will be
celebrated in Germany, where the
successful experiments were first
made half century ago, and also in
France, Italy and England. The COM
mittee appointed to arrange for the
J celebration in this country includes

GRAMMAR ENTERS" NEW VOCATION
w. w. Raymond Appointed Receiver
for Blackburn Millinery Store
and Takes Charge.

w. w. Raymond, the well known
grammar and farmer, entered into
new vocation last night when Judge
Brents appointed HIM receiver Of the
millinery store at No. East Main
street with power to wind up the
existing between Mrs. Jen-
ME Blackburn and Miss M. L. Swift.
who found it impossible for both to
boss the job of running the business
and consequently appealed to the
courts to adjust their differences.
From the testimony offered by the
two partners Judge Brents came to
the conclusion that it was not likely
that harmony would ever be restored
under present conditions and appoint
ed Mr.. Raymond permanent receiver
to replace Robert Breeze, who was ap-
pointed temporary receiver some
weeks ago. Mr. Breeze today turned
over to Mr. Raymond a miscellaneous
stock of hats, ribbons and trimmings
dear to the feminine heart. The latter
filed a bond of $1,000.
