BLAST EXPLOSION
KILLS 3 WORKMEN
Powdermen in Piedmont Quarry
Buried Under a Thousand
Tons of Rock

OAKLAND, Aug 16.-Three powder
sand tons of rock at o'clock this
afternoon, when a blast was prema-
turely exploded in the top ledge at the
Piedmont paving company's quarry in
Thirteenth avenue canyon. A crew of
laborers worked all night removing the
debris and searching for the three
bodies. One of the dead men is still
unknown, but the foremen have ascer~
tained that two of the victims are
Portuguese, named Manuel Rose and A
Fernandez. The identity of the third
man can not be learned until tomorrow
The three powder workers were sent
into the excavation to prepare a blast
to be discharged tonight. They began
drilling in the top ledge at $3.50 o'clock
this afternoon, carrying the giant pow
der to the place with them. The day
shift of shovel men had already left
off work and the three powder men
were alone in the quarry.
1t is supposed that the drip hole be-
came clogged while the charge was
being placed and that one of the men
used a steel drill instead of a wooden
tamp to ram down the explosive. The
blast was a heavy one. The whole
side of the excavation fell in where
the powder men were working. and the
wreckage buried them. The men are
thought to live in East Oakland.
This is the first accident at the
quarry which we have worked for a
year." said c. D. Bates, president OF
the company. Rose and Fernando, the
two identified men. have handled pow
der for 10 years, but like all powder
workers, may have become too bold at
tines

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
INDORSES TUNNEL PLAN
%FaVOrs Abolition of Draw
bridges Between Two Cities

OAKLAND, Aug. I6.-The chamber
OF commerce today lent its backing TO
the project to construct tunnel under
p the estuary and thus connect Oakland
and Alameda. In a communication re-
ceived this morning by the board Of
supervisors, resolutions were included
indorsing the plan.
Supervisor Kelley proposed building
the tunnel more than a year ago. An
engineering committee and legal COM
mittee were appointed to report on the
practicability and cost of tunneIing
under the waters, but little progress
has been made.
The tunnel planned by Kelley was
TO be large enough to accommodate all
trafic between Oakland and Alameda
and thus make il possible to do away
with the two drawbridges that span
the water and whose opening many
times during the day seriously inter
rupts travel on land between the two
cities
Space would be provided for the
Southern Pacific and Oakland traction
tracks, as well as for vehicles and
pedestrians.

breathless Italian, arrived on the scene
and emphatically denied that the dog
was mad, or that there was anything
wrong with it except in the magma

REDWOOD CITY, Aug. 16.-The
county courthouse threatens once more
to become a deeper hole in the ground
for the tax payers money as the re-
suit of resolution offered today which
has in view the raising of the dome
some 10 feet, at an approximate cost
of $4,000.
The eyes for city beautiful' that
have been developed are unamious that
the present dome is too squatty and
close to the roof, hence the projected
raise at 81 900 a foot.
Supervisors McEvoy, Francis and
Blackburn compose the committee in
vestigating the matter.

SUPERVISORS MUST
LEVY SCHOOL TAX
Opinion of Oakland City Attor-
ney Throws Burden Back
Upon County Board

OAKLAND, Aug. 16.-City Attorney
the city council to the effect that the
new state law relaing to he levying of
a ak for the maintenance of the COM
mon schools prevents the city from
levying the tax under the provisions-of
the CITY charter. and that the burden of
Stetson tonight returned an opinion to
raising the tax will necessarily fall
upon the county supervisors.
The clause In the new law upon
which this opinion is based says that
the county supervisors may levy the
tax, which will amount to about $780,
GOO. At a recent meeting the super
visors refused to authorize the levying
OF the tax on the ground that the law
was not imperative, but the city attor-
ney's opinion will place the final re-
sponsibility upon the county board The
change In the method of levying the
tax, however, is merely technical. as
the citizens of Oakland will be assessed
for the amount needed whether the ac
ton is taken by the city or county gov
ernment.
TO INCREASE CITY LICENSES
A new committee, consisting of
Councilmen McGregor, Ellsworth and
Stfefvater, was appointed tonight 70
revise the city license ordinances with
view to increasing the revenue
therefrom. IL is probable that num-
Der of new licenses will be created
while some of those already in exist
ence, including the saloon license. will
probably be raised. The present sa-
loon license in this city is $500 per an
mum.
The question of the disposition of
the sewage and garbage of the town
of Piedmont, which has been the basis
of a dispute with the city of Oakland
for some time past, was temporarily
settled tonight by the city councils
agreement to permit Piedmont to run
its sewage into the main east side
sewer of Oakland until June 80, 1910,
and to have its garbage disposed of by
the Oakland scavenger department un-
til the same date in consideration of
the payment of $1,000 into the city
treasury.
