MRS. ANNIE BFSANT
TO VISIT OAKLAND
Local Branch of Theosophical
Society Is Preparing to
Welcome Leader

OAKLAND, Aug 6.-Mrs. Annie Be-
SAINT. president of the Philosophical So
ciety, writer, journalist and educator,
is expected to visit Oakland late IN
August and the local branches of the
organization of which she is leader are
making elaborate preparations for her
coming. Mrs. Besant makes her resi-
dence in India. which is the headquar-
ters of the theosophical movement, but
is now on her biennial tour OF the
world. She will speak in Oakland
Tuesday, August 81, and Wednesday,
September i, in Ebel1 club house, later
going to San Francisco for few days.
En- route she will stop IN Sacramento
for an address.
Mrs. Besant will be met at Seattle
August 20 by DR.. Mary Plumb. at
whose home she will be guest while
here.
Mrs. Besant is the founder of the
Central Hindu school at Benares and a
similar institution for girls at the same
place. Last year the patriotic societies
OF Sons of India and Daughters of In
dia were organized by ner and already
300 branches have sprung up. In 1907
at the death of Colonel Olcott, then
president of the Philosophical society,
she succeeded to the office. She has
been interested in all of the great
movements in England and was prom
inently identified as member of the
Fabian society, the Social democratic
federation and was a member OF the
London school board.
Mrs. Besant comes from a famous
English family, Lord Chancellor
Hatherley being a close connection.
Her mother traces her descent from
a long line of French kings Her
many years of residence in India have
made her an authority IN matters per-
tanning to that country. This third
visit to the coast is being looked for
ward to with interest not only by the
members of the theosophica1 organiza-
tons, but by wide circle of friends
as well.

HUGE DAGGER
IN JAIL CREVICE
Temporary Prison Yields More
Treasures Struggled to
Desperate Inmates

OAKLAND, Aug. "a formidable
looking dagger, with a six inch blade
sharpened to razor keenness and hold
ing its edge in spite of rust, was the
latest discovery made by workmen
engaged in wrecking the temporary
county jail. The find was made this
morning when brick wall was being
torn away Wedged between the ma
sorry and the steel was the dagger,
to which a piece of rotted string still
adhered. 1t had evidently been sus-
pended, by the cord from above and
held in readiness to be drawn up for
use.
Whether the string parted when the
owner tried to draw it up or whether
an unexpected transfer of prisoners
took the possessor OF the secret out
of reach OF his weapon is unknown
Jailer Peter White has no knowledge
OF the prisoner who might have had
the dagger smuggled in to him, it hav-
ing probably been there for two years.
Monday the workmen found two
window CRATES, one cut through and
another all but severed by hacksaws.
The blades were also discovered under
the flooring. The saving was done by

has since been sentenced to life term,
and B. r. Mills, federal prisoner,
since sentenced to serve Is years for
robbing a maiIbOx

BERKELEY, Aug. 6.-Following the
alumnae at its meeting in the Home
club in Oakland. last Saturday, the
university authorities will offer this
year at the opening of the university
a group of correlated courses in do
nestle science designed to continue the
work offered in the lectures of Mrs.
Ellen H. Richards of the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology at the summer
session this year
DOMESTIC SCIENCES
The courses under her were espe-
cially satisfactory and attracted a large
number of students. AS result, the uni
versity will group together, under the
number of courses already offered
at the university. but widely separated.
A special committee of the faculty.
consisting of Prof. Jessica Peixotto,
Prof. Meyer E.. Jaffa and Prof. Charles
Gilman Hyde. are working on the pro-
posed department
Under the tentative plans adopted
Miss Jessica Peixotto will give courses
in poverty; the care of children by the
state, and their care by their par
ents. A feature of her course will
be on the subject of 1.-THE Household
as an Economic Agent"
LECTURES ON SANITATION
Grouped with this course will be one
under the direction of Professor Hyde
sanitary engineer. He will lecture on
the water supply of the home; the
question Of sanitary sewers; garbage

disposal, and other household wants
treated from a scientific and engineer
ing standpoint. Applied Sanitary
Science" will be feature of his work.
Prof. Meyer E. Jaffa, who is head
of the department of nutrition of the
university and expert in charge of the
state pure food laboratory, will offer
to the prospective students of house
hold problems lectures in the nutritive
value of foods and those best adapted
for mental and physical labors. His
experiments in coffee, preservatives,
course of special interest.
COMPREHENSIVE SCOPE
None of the courses, as far as now
known, will be new this year. The
lectures are the same as those Of last
year, but they will be treated In a
more comprehensive way than ever
before, the lecturer keeping in mind
the primary objects Of the courses In
domestic science.
Next year. with the opening of the
university for the year 1910-11, the
authorities hope to be able to secure
the services of several special lecturers
who will deal in a more concrete way
with the household problems of to-
day.
That the university has been lead
ing up to this subject is evident from
the fact that the new entrance re-
quirements take cognizance of domes-
tic science and manual training courses
in the big schools and give univer-
sity credit applied toward admission.

CITY COUNCIL MAY
RAISE TAX RATE
Estimates of Auditor Fall Con-
siderably Below Claims Pre-
scented by Officials

OAKLAND, Aug. s.-The finance COM
rnittee OF the city council devoted last
evening to consideration of the mu-
uicipsl budget recommended by City
Auditor Gross for the present fiscal
year and took the various statements
under consideration before making
fnaI recommendation to the city coun-
ell. Owing TO differences between the
auditors estimates and the estimates
of city officials, the council may be
compelled TO raise the tax rate.
One OF the principal problems under
discussion was the provision for the
common schools of the city. In ac-
cordance with laws passed by the last
legislature. the care of the schools is
not incumbent upon the city, but as
the county supervisors have also re-
pudiated responsibility for their main
tenance, the question was once more
under discussion. City superintendent
OF Schools McClymonds stated that
SIS, 900 was needed for school improve
nents and IS, 600 for betterments OF
the grounds. After an extended dis
cussion, Chairman Ellsworth of the
finance committee told McClymonds
70 present his claims to the supervisors
again.
other appropriations asked for were
sz0.e 600 for new sewers. which was re-
duced TO SIS 600 by the committee; an
additional $4,000 for the new engine
house at Fifty-sixth and Dover streets;
$500 for printing in the appeal Of the
city's suit against the Oakland water
front company; a salary for a proposed
purchasing agent for city supplies;
sIs5,67s, instead of sIs6,755, for park
maintenance and Improvement, and
$685. for the playground commission.
The auditors estimate for this purpose
is SO, 900. Six policemen are also asked
for in the appropriations Of the bud
gets. As several OF these requests are
considerably in advance OF the auditors
estimate, the city council may be
obliged to raise the tax rate recon-
menced by him. The various questions
were taken under consideration by the
committee.
J. Aubrey Jones, a representative of
the Fairgrounds committee, urged that
the tax rate be raised "a per cent in
order to provide for the new play
grounds desired.
There is 8 difference of at least $780,
600 between the demands Of the street
department as presented to the city
council, and the estimate rendered by
the auditor.

FACE LOSS OF TAXES
State Law May Cripple Depart

BERKELEY, Aug. 6.-A controversy
has arisen between the Berkeley coun-

law regulating the collection of school
taxes, which delegates to the county
authorities the right to collect high
school taxes as well as those for pri-
mary and grammar schools within the
county. This taxation, which has here
tofore been handled by the city au-
thorities, with a larger valuation of
property than is used by the county,
