depiored. There Is general disapproval as

The Russian delegates at the conference
were not surprised at the news, having
been kept fully informed as to the in

URGES WOMEN TO
WORK FOR BONDS

OAKLAND. Jan THE public
parks and Fairgrounds which the city
of Oakland is trying to acquire would
be large factor in the development Of
good citizenship said Mayor Mott
when he addressed the members and
friends of the Civic Club at their head
quarters in Pythian Castle this after
noon on the question of the proposed
parks for the city, for which bonds
will be voted on by the citizens on
Monday. January IA.
There is nothing better that city
can do than TO furnish the means to
that end. BY acquiring these ten prop
critics scattered throughout the city
IL would furnish a place of recreation
for tired bodies and give the boy who
has no place to go a rallying place
where he could occupy himself 1t is
important that we make these grounds
easy of access. so that they may be
utilized and accomplish their end. The
lands have been so selected
In several instances this is the last
opportunity we will have TO secure
these lands. In all cases they are in
well located places and fit in excel
lently with the general scheme of beau
tifying the city.
We are planning a museum, an
aquarium. an aviary. a geological gar
den and other features in addition to
the mere pleasure it will give to the
child
Charles Milford Robinson. who has
outlined general scheme of civic i'm
provement has written that Oakland Is
doing nothing big or daring in pre-
senting the scheme of bonding the city
at this time. but il is doing as little as
can be done decently."
Mayor Mott. expressed himself as
heartily in favor of the entire plan.
The meeting OF the club was presided
over by the president, Mrs. CIarissa
Morris Many of the prominent women
of Oakland are connected with the or
ganization.
In response to a question from Mrs.
Morris, Mayor Mott said:
The way the women OF Oakland can
help in this work is-to arouse inter-
est in the homes. Stimulate the hus-
bands and brothers to go to the polls
and register their ballots for progress.
Woman's voice is potent in the do
nestle life and this plan bears direct
" upon improved conditions around the
homes of the city"

SPECIAL DISPATCH no THr cAf1.

Chapman. general manager of the
United Railroads of San Francisco.
told the Board of Supervisors of San
Mateo County today that within two
weeks he might be prepared to ac-
complish something toward the repair
OF the roadway at Colma and other
points in this county, where the build
ing operations of the San Francisco
railway monopoly have left the high
ways in impossible shape.
Last week the Supervisors cited
Chapman and Thornwell Mutually, as
sistant TO the president of the United
Railroads, to appear before them and
explain the slowness Of the company in
repairing roads. When Chapman ap-
peared he asked that an extension OF
time be granted him, and he was al
lowed two weeks in which to improve
conditions. The Supervisors had de-
clared that IL the United Railroads
would not do better by the county its
franchise would be declared forfeited.
Chapman's explanation of the exist
ing conditions was that il was impos-
sible for the company TO get rock and
other road material needed TO repave
the torn up streets at Colma and other
points. The heavy weather interfered
with quarrying, he said. but he prom
ised that he would Immediately strive

two weeks he thought he could promise
definite results. He expressed a desire
10 give the people Of San Mateo Coun-
~ good treatment, and said he had

FIRST CHANCE FOR

OAKLAND. Jan. 1.-The Board of
Supervisors granted permission today
for an election in Piedmont on jan
pary 26 to determine whether the RESP
dents of that district desire to incorS
porate as city of the sixth class SUI
pervisors Kelley. Rowe and Horner
voted for the resolution granting such
permission. while Supervisors Talcott
and Mitchell voted against IT.
The proposition to annex Piedmont to
Oakland is to be voted upon on March
II. There has been considerable op-
position on the part Of the annexa-
tionists to allowing the people of the
Piedmont district to first vote on the
question Of Incorporating. The Board
of Supervisors was informed this morn
ing of opinion rendered by the re-
firing District Attorney to the effect
that by virtue of the proceedings al
ready taken the matter of annexation
has obtained precedence over incor-
porstion-
AS a consequence OF this opinion
legal complications are likely to be pro-
duced that may have TO be adjudicated
in the courts. Notice was given today
by Attorney Satterwaite for the resi-
dents of Fruitvale that favor incor-
poration as opposed to annexation to
Oakland that he viii present a resolu
ton TO the board next Monday calling
