REJECTS SCHOOL PLANS
Bond Issue Plan to Be Submit
ted to Electors

4 ALAMEDA, Sept. 15.-The board of
education has rejected all the plans
submitted for the proposed grammar
school building at the corner of Santa
Clara avenue and Eighth street, and
before taking any further action will
await the verdict of the voters on a
$200.0 900 bond issue for school improve
ments that is to be submitted at
special election.
The board has $4,000 available for
building the proposed schoolhouse. The
directors had figured on having half
the building erected Immediately and
the other half when another 100000
was secured. 1t developed, however.
that the first half of the proposed
structure would be the most expensive,
as it would have to contain the. heating
plant for the entire building, the play
rooms, Offices and other accessories
1t was found that 100000 would not
cover the cost of the first half OF the
building. The board of education there
fore decided to wait until all the money
needed for the erection of the new
school was on hand before they would
select plans and order the work done
Three plans were under consideration.
All were finally rejected and the board

AT SCHOOL TIME
Boy Hunter Shoots Himself in
Thumb After Tremendous
Exploits in Jungles

. OAKLAND, Sept. 15-Surveying the
scene of a dreadful slaughter in the
jungles about Fifty-second and Grove
streets after morning spent with an
air rifle, Albert Anderson, aged IL
years, shot himself in the thumb with
the same weapon.
The accident put an end to his plans
to Send the carcasses to the Smithson-
ian Institution for mounting and elas-
siacation, and the pain in the thumb
recalled the fact that the school bell
was about to ring and the mornings
shoot was over.
Albert's shouts of rage at the trivial
incident which had put him out of
commission brought other hunters to
the rescue. and then some more people
came and 1t was arranged to take him
to the receiving hospital. several miles
back on the frontiers which he had
passed. Dr. H. Koford was sum
moned and after considerable probing
removed a pellet of lead which had i'm
bedded itself close to the bone.
