FOR SMALL CHILD

Fed Infants

city this afternoon. DIR. Kibbe spoke
at length on the subject of Pure Milk"
and told of the movement in its behalf
by the clubwomen of San FRANCISCO, as
sisted by other organizations
There is no reason" declared the
speaker. that skinned milk, CONNER
cial milk and certified milk should be
sold at a fiat rate of 10 cents a quart.
Each is good for its purpose, but for
saving the lives of the babies certified
milk should be insisted upon,
Between rs and 80 per cent of the
deaths of infants are those fed upon
bottled milk. The women OF this state
should bend their efforts toward i'm
proving the sanitary conditions of the
dairies and saving the lives Of the
babies"
Mrs. S. NJ. NJ Woodman discussed a
paper on bible Wines" to show that
the wine used by Christ was of the mn
fermented kind. She made number
of references to ancient writer's to prove
her point. A feature of the afternoon

of Chinese children. Tonight Rev. \. A.
Davis of New Zealand delivered an ad-
dress on New Zealand on the Fighting
Line" The session Of the congress will

SEEKING AFFINITY
OF HER HUSBAND
Angry Woman Declares She Is
Wife of Walter j.
Gallagher

ALAMEDA, July 20.-Loudly pro-
claiming that she was the wife of Wal
ter J. Gallagher, San Francisco at
torney, and that she was in Alameda
looking for her husbands affinity, a
woman unknown to the officials created
scene in the Citizens bank this aft
ernoon. So boisterous did the woman
become IN her conduct that call for
the police was sent in.
Patrolman c. E. Reyes responded and
persuaded the excited woman to leave
the bank and board westbound car in
Santa Clara avenue.
The woman was accompanied by a
boy about years old. When she en-
tered the bank she announced that she
was the wife of Attorney Walter J..
Gallagher and demanded that she be
allowed to draw money which. she as
serted, Gallagher had deposited. When
her demand was refused the woman
became angry and said:
II came to Alameda to find my hus-
bands affinity. He mas been spending
all his time with her and neglecting
me. I would just like to meet her
once and I would put stop to this
affinity business"
The bank officials thought the woman
was either insane or intoxicated.

FUGITIVE BLAMES
LAWSON'S SYSTEM
Captured Embezzler Tells Police
Boston Financier Led Him
to Speculate

OAKLAND, July 20.-Frank ". New
burg, accused by the Fox River butter
company of Boston. Mass. of embezzle-
ment, was arrested this morning at 667
Eleventh street by Detective Kyle on
advices from the east, and is held in
the city jail for extradition. Com
munications sent by the fugitive to a
Boston bonding company fell into the
hands of the metropolitan police, with
the result that Newburg's hiding place
became known.
The former employee of the butter
company has lived in Oakland for four
months. He is said to have stolen
s1,14s from the firm February and to
have left his wife and home a few
days later
Newburg blamed the manipulations
of Thomas W. Lawson, Boston's author
of Friday, the Thirteenth" and of
"Frencied Finance" for his downfall.
Lawson advertised to the public to
buy copper stock said the prisoner to
the police. and I used the company's
money to speculate. L got pinched, like
others who needed the publicist, and
1 am arrested for my chance taking.
During his hiding. Newburg has been
employed at various Oakland places as
clerk and conducted himself very
quietly for fear of arousfng police
suspicious. He is 33 years of age and
carries little OF the Boston book
learning with him. Among the writ
ings he confesses to having read were
the magazine utterances of the cele-
brated sage of the Lawson pink, and it
was admiration for Lawson the re-
former, AYERS Newburg, which made
him a victim of Lawson the f1nancier.

MORE CARLINFSF FOR
CITY OF BERKELEY
Extensive Improvements Are
Projected by Key Route and
Traction Company

BERKELEY. July 2o.-Although no
Official announcement has been made
by the Key Route company and its al
lied corporation. the Oakland traction
company, plans are under way here for
the extension OF lines in northeast
Berkeley and Ocean View.
The new scheme OF the Key Route
and traction companies encompasses
the entire district in the neighborhood
Of Spruce street with a possible ex-
tension Of the Sacramento Key Route
line north in Ocean View 10 the new
Sunset cemetery with an extension Of
the Shattuck avenue Key Route line
up Walnut street.
According 10 the plans now laid the
Grove street line OF the traction COM
pany, which now has a terminal near
Marin avenue. Northbrae, will be ex-
tended to Indian Rock avenue, to Mari
posa street across a private right OF
way 10 Spruce street. completing the
loop of the present Oxford Spruce
street line.
WILL BUILD LINE
For the time being, at least, the pro-
posed road down Marin avenue west
erly through Ocean View connecting
with San Pablo avenue line viii be
abandoned. but assurances have been
given that this line viii be built in
the near future TO shut out a compel
ing system.
During the last week another block
OF track has been laid and the road
bed carefully ballasted for use. Work
trains are always in evidence with q
gang Of lsborers and il seems TO be
the intention Of the Key Route TO push
Ho &c RI n p ~ le-
ton.
In Ocean View. at the northern end
OF the Sacramento street line. there is
also considerable activity, which is
taken 20 indicate the joining OF the
TWO ends in the near future.
Surveys were also taken for a more
comprehensive line in Ocean View lead
ing northward and easterly into the
bflls. This line would pass by the
sunset cemetery and would be of bene-
Mn 20 the ranchers north OF here. II
would likewise serve TO cut out possible
competition with installation Of the
Southe-r Pacific loop in Ocean View. a
little farther south.
SURVEYORS KEPT BUSY
At the same time the Southern Pa
cifc company is not idle and has had
surveyors busy on its Ninth. Cali
fornia and Shattuck avenue loop.
Grades have been estimated and the
level is already cut at Bergman street
Tor the line.
The surveyors are at present work
inE north OF Eunice street where It
VIII be necessary TO have q 20 foot I'LL
before the road can be laid.
The FIRST Indication of the proposal
81 the Key Route company came at
the Berkeley council meeting this
morning when IL was learned that the
corporation has purchased a private
right Of way between its terminal
At University and ShattUck avenues
and Walnut street.
The matter came up IN the form Of
p protest OF the property owners along
Walnut street against the proposed
opening OF the street from Berkeley
way 70 Hearst avenue. It was openly
charged az the meeting by g number
OF the prOtestants that the Key Route
company was endeavoring TO have the
residents of Walnut street pay for the
opening Of the street along which its
trains would run IN the near future.
