No New Year Cheer for the
Man Who Did Not Bring
Home Little Black Bottle
PLAN TO EVADE Law

BERK ELEY. Jan NO attempt was
made by the liquor dealers of West
Berkeley to do business today. For the
first time in the history OF the town
no drinks were sold on New Years
day. None will be sold on any day
hereafter in saloons. II the new pro-
hibition law, just adopted. is enforced,
and Chief Vollmer says it certainly will
be.
Policeman Jack Lestrange reported
this afternoon that no saloon in the
town was opened today.
The authorities have noted. however.
that a device apparently calculated to
bring liquid cheer close to- the West
Berkeley folk has been put forward
in the Incorporation OF the Mechanics
Social Club. West Berkeley men are
the incerporators. Their names are
Joseph Raspiller. Joseph Burke, Her
man Harbarth. H w. de Leon and
Oscar Grimm The details OF the new
clubs plans have not been disclosed,
nor has the location of its headquarters
been announced. The purchase OF liquor
by the club and the dispensing OF IL to
members from sideboard would not
be contrary to law, II is claimed. and
the clubs incorporation accordingly is
looked upon as the nrst device OF many
that may be devised to bring citizens
into touch with their tipple in the
dryest parts of Berkeley. RaspiIler is
the head OF a big brewery in West
Berkeley.

CHIEF ADvOCAT ES
PLAYGROUND

BERKELEY, Jan. 1.-Chief of Police
Vollmer's records show that there has
been great increase in complaints
by citizens against small boys of the
town during the past six months. 107
such complaints being on file in the de-
partment records. placed there since
July 1. 1905. In the last three weeks
fifteen Berkeley boys have been ar
rested on felony charges. The police
in the last seven days have recovered
seven bicycles stolen by boys. Many
of the complaints are due to mischiev-
Gus pranks of boys. but the majority
are concerned with petty thefts
Chief Vollmer believes that the great
Increase in population OF the town is
responsible for the complaints. He
thinks a cure for some of the boyish
offenses would be found in the pur-
chase by the town OF a big playground.
or commons" where games and sports
Of all kinds could be played and the
effervesence of youth got rid of in that
harmless way.
The Town Trustees now have extra

DEALERS TO WEED
OUT CARELESS
CHAUFFEURS
ByR- r. I'Hon1rr1edieu

One of the most important subjects
that will come up before the Automo-
bile Dealers Association of California
this evening will be the discussion of
the chauffeur. For some time past the
owners of cars have been complaining
about the cost of the upkeep. 1t has
been source of annoyance to the DEAL
ers. for they lay all the trouble to the
drivers. Most OF the cause for repairs
has been from accidents and errors on
the part of the chauffeurs. who do not
understand their business or are care
less.
1t is proposed TO try to formulate
plan by which every chauffeur who
wishes may come before a committee
of the dealers and pass an examina-
ton. which will bring with 1t a recon-
mendation that will be a passport when
a driver may seek new position. 1t
may be that the dealers will withhold
a guarantee of satisfaction to A buyer
If he has not had chauffeur that has
passed the trade examination. A scheme
of this kind may have the effect of
wedding out the incompetent chauf-
feurs.
E. P. Brinegar of the Pioneer Auto
mobile Company, has wired from New
York that George P. Fuller. the Cali
