Fred Sprinkle May Die From
Wounds Inflicted by Man He
Ordered From House

OAKLAND. Aug. Erred Sprinkle
40 years old, an employe of the Hall
warehouse and draying company of
Broadway, is at the receiving hospital
in very critical condition as the re-
suit of being slashed with a razor in
the hands of Don Threldkeld, a jockey,
shortly after 8 o'clock tonight. Sprinkle
returned to his home from San Fran
cisco about o'clock and found Threld-
John Lowry and Mrs. Lowry of Elm
hurst and Mrs. Frank L. Harris in the
parlor, evidently enjoying themselves.
All went well, according to Sprinkle's S
story, until about o'clock. At that
time Sprinkle ordered Threldkeld out
of the house and the latter whipped a
razor from his pocket and began slash
ing Sprinkle about the throat. Mrs.
Harris attempted to interfere and re-
ceived several cuts about the arms.
Mrs. Sprinkle ran screaming from the
house and managed to reach Provi-
dence hospital, a few blocks away, and
persuaded DR.. o. d. Hamlin to take
Sprinkle to the hospital.
When the wounded man reached the
hospital he was nearly dead from loss
of blood. He was given temporary
treatment and sent to the receiving
hospital, where 1t was found that he
had sustained severe external jugular
wounds. He is in an extremely criti-
cal condition and may die. Mrs. Har-
ris and Mrs. Sprinkle were detained at
the city prison as witnesses. Threld-
keld made his escape and several de-
tectives were detailed to find him.

Water Front Franchises
Are Asked For by Roads
OakIand's Right to Tide Lands Recognized by
Southern Pacific and Key Route

OAKLAND, Aug. 2-Stupendous i'm
provements of the western water front
of this city. involving the ultimate ex-
penditure Of millions OF dollars, cou-
pied with the recognition by two great
corporations of the city of Oakland's
rights of control of the water front.
We're outlined tonight by the San Fran
cisco, Oakland and San Jose railway
(Key Route) and the Oakland terminal
and wharf company. when eacht of
these companies applied for franchises
from the city council for wharfs, docks
and pier construction in the Key Route
basin.
Plans of the two corporations COM
prehend a vast program of develop
ment. Included in this plan is the
widening OF the Key Route pier to 500
feet, the construction of piers and
wharves along the south side of the
long pier, over which the Key Route
system is now operated, the further
building of slips and docks abutting
the Southern Pacific company's mole on
it's north side, the reclamation of sew
eral hundred acres of tide lands be-
tween the mole and the Key Route
pier. between the existing bulkhead
and the mainland, and the dredging of
a deep water ship channel. This chan
mel will run the entire length of the
frontage, describing a horseshoe from
the end of Oakland mole. following
along the mole, thence along the bulk
head line and westwardly paralleling
the Key Route pier. All of this work
is to be done, in so far as the water
front privileges are concerned, under
the authority of the city of Oakland.
The plan, as presented by the franchise
applications, will leave clear for NUM-
cipal use ample space in the basin for
the construction of such municipal
wharves as may be deemed desirable
and useful for commercial and ship
ping purposes.
MUCH LAND ASKED FOR
The applicants ask for total water
frontage of 200 feet width in the basin
or Immediately adjacent to the north
Of the Key Route pier. The Key Route
application calls for 500 feet gross and
including the present width of the pier,
which, as in the case of the Southern
Pacific company's Oakland mole, under
the memorandum of agreement, comes
under municipal jurisdiction.
The Key Route application splits so
that 400 feet additional width, includ-
ing the pier, shall be taken on the
south or basin side, and the remaining
100 feet of its 500 feet be granted on
the north side Of the pier.
The Oakland terminal and wharf
company's application is for 500 feet

PROTESTS IN VAIN
AGAINST SCHEDULE
Supervisor Foss Unable to Pre-
vent Adoption of Old
Printing Rate

OAKLAND, Aug. BY vote Of
four to one the board of supervisors
decided to continue in effect the
schedule for county printing adopted
in 1907. Supervisor Fred Foss of
Berkeley protested against rushing a
resolution through. 1t was submitted
on recommendation of r. S. Gee, an
expert, who was appointed several
months ago to revise the rates, but
who found nothing to revise.
Foss demanded time to investigate,
saying that the schedule might be full
of jokers similar to the one which cost
the county a graft OF $4,000 for the
printing of the delinquent tax lists in
June by Dargie of the Oakland Tribune
The protesting supervisor said that if
given time to secure estimates on print
ing he would be in position to vote
intelligently.
Supervisor Kelley fathered the reso-
luton TO revise the old schedule, and
was seconded by. Supervisor Bridge,
while County Clerk John p. Cook spoke
strongly in favor of the measure.
Supervisors Horner, Bridge, Kelley and
Mullins voted in favor of the rate after
a lengthy discussion.

LIQUOR ORDINANCE
WILL Be AMENDED
Regulation of Outside Resorts
by County Feature of
Proposed Law

OAKLAND. Aug 2.-Supervisor John
F. Mullins introduced the draft OF a
new county liquor license ordinance
before the board OF supervisors today
providing for the regulation OF the
sale of intoxicants throughout the un-
incorporated districts. The ordinance
as proposed differs from the old IN linn
iting the number Of licenses to $50. in
eluding hotels. restaurants and resorts
selling liquor with ordinary barrOoms.
1t prohibits the opening OF a saloon
within 500 feet of schOolhouse. The
same provision will be applied to
churches when the draft comes up for
discussion.
The old provisions OF requiring six
out of ten nearest residents to indorse
the applicants petition and allowing
for dry or wet" precincts by major
ity petitions will be retained. The IL
cense tax was increased from S120 to
S240 year and only citizens may ap-
ply. Applicants must state whether
they have been refused a liquor license
within a year. and must satisfy the
board with regard to the character OF
the place they intend to conduct.
The supervisors in an informal dis
cussion reported In favor of issuing no
new retail liquor licenses for the pres
ent' year. and OF eventually cutting
down the number OF saloons outside or
Incorporated towns. The ordinance as
introduced was referred to the commit
tee of the whole.

JURY is DRAWN TO TRY
BUFF KID" FOR LARCENY
Absence of Complaining Wit
ness Is Not to Delay Case

OAKLAND, Aug. 2.-Selection of a
Jury to try Charles Mack, alias the
buff Kid" on a charge of grand lar
ceny was commenced before Superior
Judge Brown today. The decision was
reached to go ahead with the trial in
spite of the absence from the state of
Mrs. Edith McCrea. the complaining
witness. She disappeared early in July
and. though delays were had to allow
for her arrival, she failed to appear.
Mrs. McCrea said that she went into
the former Press saloon at Eighth and
Franklin streets and. while taking a
drink with her little daughter Thelma,
was robbed by Mack when he found
her purse lying on a table in rear
room. She. gave her testimony at
Mack's preliminary hearing and after
ward said that Mack with several COM
panions visited her nome in Fruitvale
and tried to induce her to promise not
Ia prosecute. She claimed that they
attempted to give her whisky with
morphine added, and analysis of the
stun appeared to confirm her story
Mrs McCrea left the state, leaving
word that she had gone to her husband

north of the Southern Pacific mole,
running paraliel'with the mole from the
inner bulkhead to the end of the mole.
With the removal of Long wharf by the
Southern Pacific company under the
memorandum of agreement the opening
from the west to the Key Route basin
will be free from all obstruction.
The scheme of development in the
basin has been public property in a
general way for months. The applica-
tions for franchises as filed this even
ing clear the situation and make pos
tive the plans which have been hereto
fore more or less tentative.
MUCH DEVELOPMENT PLANNED
While the Key Route officials are ret
icent as to the future. it can be as
sumed fairly that the development out
lined means the extension as rapidly as
possible by that road of its lines to
San Jose, for the purpose of establish
ing a general freight and passenger
business.
The Oakland terminal and wharf
company was recently incorporated for
the purpose of developing several hum
dred acres of tide lands which are in
private ownership. These lands were
purchased by realty syndicate capital
lists who are likewise closely identified
with the Key Route system, from the
Oakland water front company, under
the supreme court decision which vest
ed title to that company in the lands
between low tide line to the main or
upland Soon after this purchase in
the Key Route basin between the
Southern Pacific mole and the Key
Route pier was made the owners con-
structed a bulkhead along the western
boundary. This followed approximately
the low tide line, which is coexistent
with the United States harbor bulk
head line, outside of which no perma-
nent structure can be built without
permission of the war department. The
city of Oakland's Jurisdiction as to
wharfing out rights extends in the
basin from this bulkhead, or low tide
line, to Ship channel. This was won to
the city by the decision of the United
States circuit court or appeals in the
western Pacific-S Southern Pacific COM
panys litigation over the right of the
Gould line TO build beyond low tide
line.
The Southern Pacific company in it's
negotiations with the city government
has agreed to recognize the city and to
apply for franchises for various privi-
leges south of the Oakland mole
If the Southern Pacific company's
plan is permitted to go through the
Hartman company will spend not less
than $2,500.000 improving the lands
south of the mole.

by the tax payers in view OF the fact
that the city in keeping its old rate
OF Sl-2o had left the school tax out

would be obviated by the county board
acting.
District Attorney Donahue explained
the scope OF the act as compelling the

sums allotted by the state school tax
apportionment, but that the collection
OF grammar grade excess maintenance

ATTACKS ELIOT'S
FUTURE RELIGION
Rev. George w. White Declares
Doctrines Neither New
Nor Lasting

OAKLAND, Aug. Rev. George w.
White, pastor of the First Methodist
Episcopal church, takes issue with
former President Eliot of Harvard uni
versity in his conception of the religion
of the future. In sermon dealing with
White declared that the two basic COM
mandments of DR.. Eliot's new religion,
ITO love God and serve our fellow
men," are not new but are fundamental
in Christianity
DR.. White summed UP the main
points of DIR. Eliots religion as follows;
First-It will not rest on spiritual
authority.
Second-It will have no sacraments.
Third-It will make but little refer
ence to the future life of the soul.
Fourth-It will not teach the doc
trine of Gods justice.
Fifth-It will exalt Gods love instead
of his law; it will be based upon and
Ito love God and to serve our fellow
men,"
The only point of difference is that
the orthodox churches teach, as did
Christ, that love for God must precede
love for ones neighbor.
They belong to the school of thought
which asks for a natural religion and
rejects the theory of Christ's divine
authority. They have been on trial for
nineteen centuries and yet the Chris
tian churches holding these ideas of
religion number only about 100000
communicates, while the orthodox
churches enroll as communicates near
ly 20,000,000 people.
1T does not look as though DR. Eliot
doctrines were likely to become domi-
nant very soon. if history means any
thing. A similar scheme of religion,
under the name of Theophilanthropy
was launched in France just after the
revolution, backed by the government
under the directory, and quite a mum
ber of church buildings in France were
given to it. 1t lived just five years,
then was crushed because it was not
religious enough even for the French
people.
No religion without at least pre-
tended divine authority back of it has
ever been successful. nor ever will be
successful, for the people do not make
religion: it is something given to

Samuel Fortier. head of the depart
ment of irrigation of the United States
government, who is on tour of in
spection OF the various irrigation sta
tions of the country. Professor For
tier. who was formerly head of the
irrigation work on this coast, says
that the work of the department of
which he is the head will soon be
brought to a conclusion and report
made public which will prove that the
San Joaquin valley has possibilities
for the cultivation of deciduous fruits
unthought of now. Modern irrigation
methods already perfected and the
close application of the government
and state irrigation departments will
achieve wonderful results, he said
Professor Fortier arrived in this
city today and will leave shortly for
tour of the Colorado, Wyoming and
other posts. He will also attend the
Spokane convention of the national
irrigation congress.
He made this announcement of the
work in progress here:
.On my annual tour of inspection
spent the summer months visiting
various stations and agencies scattered
throughout the arid regions. found
that they had made rapid progress in
the irrigation of rice in Louisiana
and Texas. We of the north have no
idea of the immense investments made
during the last few years in pumping
plants for rice irrigation in the south.
