LINK TRANSBAY
CITIES BY TROLLEY
Mysterious Capitalists Map Out
New System Between AIame=
da, Oakland and Berkeley
Engineering Problems Solved
and Franchise Will Soon
Be Sought

OAKLAND. Dec. 3.-Working quietly,
surveyors have been running the pre-
liminary lines for a proposed new cleo
trio fast service streetcar line in COM
petition with the Oakland traction COM
pany between Oakland, Berkeley and
Alameda Options have been secured
and rights Of way guaranteed for the
promoters of the new railroad, said to
be syndicate OF bay city millionaires.
Engineers of the company are now
working on the task of mapping out
the line of the new system through
Oakland by the shortest route to
Berkeley and Alameda.
Considerable difficulty has been en-
countered, and to meet the situation an
elevated system may network Oakland
In order TO secure the desired fast
transportation facilities. 1t is probable
that the road will be q surface line in
Alameda and Berkeley and an elevated
system in Oakland
Engineers. it is said, have practically
agreed on Dana street as the street on
which a franchise will be asked for
from the town of Berkeley. 1t is the
only street now available in view of
the existing tracks of the Oakland
traction company and the franchises
applied for by the Southern Pacific
company. Cars could be run under a
10 minute headway while the time TO
Alameda from Berkeley would be 80
minutes, half the present schedule
Approaches and rights of way into
Alameda have been secured by the COM
pany, and as soon as the engineering
difficulties in Oakland are removed
franchises will be applied for there
and in Berkeley.

COLLEGE FRATERNITY

Although his family assert that he
never want TO college and did not be-
long to a fraternity. Boas claimed to
be, and behaved like. an enthusiastic
collegian. His rooms were full of those
reminders of college life SC dear TO
the alumnus-the walls covered with
pennants. posters of freshmen in eX-
aggerated clothes and pictures of cam
pus scenes. He had fitted up his Of
flee and his room at his mothers home
with lights in Yale blue, even the name
of his business, The Pennant electric
company, was q constant reminder of
college days. and although his taste in
literature was for the best authors
Poe. Stevenson. Johnson and Chaucer
being represented on his table-Wallace
Irwin's book. The Shame of the Col
leges. was the volume closest to his
hand.
A F. Thornberg. with whom the dead
man spent the last few hours of his
life. SAYS that his love for his sup
posed alma mater amounted almost to
q mania. as no one could engage in con-
versation with him for more than five
minutes without being told that he was
g Yale man. Boas always wore a Yale
pennant and a frat pin prominently

doctor, SAVE ME-" ONLY
WORDS UTTERED BY
LAD IN DEATH AGONY

Doctor Griffin, one of the physicians
who attended Boas. said last night:
Il received a call from the Boas
family and came ar once. When 1
arrived a the house I found the young
man stretched out on the floor and
my examination convinced me that he
was suffering from a severe case of
strychnine poisoning. We tried to ad-
minister the usual remedies, but were
hampered by the fact that his jaws
were tightly clenched. This is usual
in these cases. Despite this 1 finally
managed to administer the usual medi-
cines. but the poison had been taken
in too large a dose II had time to get
into the blood and the patient was
beyond all help.
although ~he was conscious until
near the end. the only words that he
uttered were:
= Doctor, save me- He did not say
who had sent him the powders or any
thing else other than what 1 have told
YOU
L can not. of course. tell the amount
that he took. but / would say as
conservative estimate that he must
have taken at least five grains, prob
ably more"
