GAGS GIRL TO DRAG
Her FROM STREET
Well Dressed Man Brutally At
tacks Stenographer in
New Boulevard

OAKLAND, April 24.-Garbed in gen.
teel attire. an unknown man brutally
attacked Miss Anna Riffer. aged Is. a
stenographer, on the new boulevard
near Melrose last night while the
young woman. with her sister. Miss
Margaret Riffer. aged 1s, was on. her
way from the Southern Pacific station
to her home in Clifton park.
AS the girls left the station they
saw heavy set, we'll dressed man
wearing derby hat and carrying an
overcoat on his arm, who appeared to
be following them. They hastened
their steps, but the fellow kept close
behind and as they turned into the
boulevard he overlook them, seized
Miss Anna by the arm and, placing one
hand over her mouth. dragged her into
field near the residence of 6. H.
Cunningham. Her sister screamed for
aid and ran toward her home to sum-
mon her father.
Meantime the plucky girl fought
desperately against her assailant and
succeeded in breaking away.
SEARCHES OR AssAIL--NT
She fed to a house near by and,
ringing the doorbell frantically, sum-
moned Cunningham, who set out In
pursuit of her assailant The fellow
had disappeared in the darkness.
Cunningham accompanied Miss Anna
and her sister. who had returned to
the scene. to their home. George Riff
fer, the father of the intended victim
of the outrage, reported the attack to
the police.
This is one of a number of similar
outrages that have occurred in the
vicinity within the last few months
-t.N.,s
that residents of the neighborhood are
planning to organize vigilance COM
mittee and patrol the approaches to
their homes with shotguns. Not long
ago the Riffer girls were followed al
most to their dooryard by a man.
When they took refuge in fight he
pursued, to give up the chase only
when he saw them enter their home.
Their father, armed with shotgun,
neighbors and made complete search
of the neighborhood without result.
YOUNG GIrL ATTACKED
"A few days ago the II year old
daughter of G. II. Cunningham, a
wealthy lumberman of san Francisco,
was attacked by tramp only short
distance from her home. but the fell
low was frightened away by her cries.
THE situation out here is becoming
desperate" said Riffer. Not only have
my daughters been insulted and fol-
lowed several times. but other young
girls in the neighb orhood have had
similar experiences. The boulevard
and the county roads hereabouts are
infested with hoboes and criminals
from San Francisco after night and it
is absolutely dangerous for a woman
to be abroad without an escort. I have
been talking the matter over with my
neighbors and we have about decided
to organize a vigilance committee.
I'VE have no police protection. as we
live outside the city limits OF Oak
land. 1t is impossible for our two
constables to take care of 10000 people
who live between Oakland and San
Leandro. Under existing conditions
the ounty government is worse than
useless"

SPURNS HAND OF
BANKER COLLINS

OAKLAND, April 24-Receiver James
p Edoff of the California bank refused
to shake the hand of d. Edward Col
Inns, former president of the institution,
in Superior Judge Harris court today,
during the hearing of recommenda-
tfon by Edoff that the court reject a
settlement of claims against the bank
of Ventura. which Collins, as an infiu-
entail member of both institutions, had
had ratified before Edoff's appointment
The coldness which Edoff exhibited had
apparently no effect on Collins, as he
passed the incident lightly and retained
his euuanimity.
Collins was placed on the witness
stand and was questioned regarding an
Indebtedness of $171,341 which the Ven
tura branch had contracted in it's re-
latfons with the California bank. He
went over the list of securities which
had been offered in settlement and
which the old directorate of the Cali
fornia bank had accepted. The securf-
ties were sol shares OF the California
bank capital stock, 5000 shares OF the
stock of the Central brick company,
real estate at the northeast corner of
Thirteenth and Webster streets and a
ranch in Glenn county
Edoff said the real estate was worth
about $4,000, but that the securities were
worthless. Officials and members of the
directorate who were examined were
Orestes Orr, John c. Lynch, j. w. Phil
lips. j. III. Richardson, James P. Taylor,
j. II. Brooks and @. L. Downey. All adj
mitted that they had access to the
books of the bank in December, when
the alleged agreement was made. Edof
testified that the agreement would real
ize not more than Is cents on the dollar
and he recommended that Judge Harris
ernpower him To set 1T aside and to pro-
ceed against the Ventura corporation
as in any other case of collection. Judge
Harris took the matter under advise
ment.

BERKELEY, April 24.-The beauties
Of the old Indian burial grounds north
Of this city, which may be acquired by
a vote Of the citizens at the bond cleo
tion next Wednesday, were portrayed
by the words of prominent men to-
night and by lantern slides from pho
tographs taken OF the natural park.
James d. Phelan. former mayor Of

of that city, said that IL was the duty
OF the people Of Berkeley, for their own
interests and the interests Of the peo-
pie OF the state, to acquire the beaut-
full Indian burial grounds as a public
park
Z can not understand" said Phelan
to the audience gathered at Armory
hall, in Addison street, why there Is
any question OF acquiring parks for any
growing community, providing realty
values are normal IT is a paying In
Nestment from the financial stand
point. even IL other considerations are
omitted.
Berkeley is the seat Of the Univer-
sity of California, and anything that
affects its welfare affects the welfare
OF the state, as the students Of the
state attend the halls of learning on
the university campus"
a brief resume of the large parks Of
the world and their meaning to a COM
munity He dwelt particularly on the
commercial value OF public parks to
a city.
Prof. Henry Morse Stephens Of the
department Of history Of the university
said there was need Of parks in Berke-
ley, because It was a growing manu-
featuring community. He said that
the residents would soon need a place
for breathing and for play, adding:
Berkeley is not merely s rim around the uni
is a growing community. where manufactures
playing a large part The problems Of the
his business centerS OF the world. with their
congeSted population in crowded quarters. are
only solved by the presence OF city parks.
Berkeley can do no better than by the acquire
ment Of park land for the future as well as the
present.
James T. Preston. principal of the
Franklin school. and B. F. Brooks. a
local capitalist. also spoke Preston
said that the children demanded place
for a park and Fairgrounds, while
Brooks. in taking up the cost of the
park, said that the tax payer would
not be called upon to pay greater taxes
than last year.
G. p. Ocheltree. president of the
chamber OF commerce, presided at the
meeting. z. o. Lange displayed a num-
Der Of excellent lantern slides of the
