'NOY OPPOSED TO
RED LIGHT SIGNALS
Alameda's Mayor Disapproves
installation of System, Say
ing 1t Is Not Needed !.

ALAMEDA, Dec. 9.-Mayor William
H. Noy is opposed to the demand of the
police and fire commission that $4,000
be called for in the proposed bond
election for the purpose of installing a
red light signal system for the police
department. The mayor believes that
the money can be put to better use by
providing illumination for sections of
the city that are now poorly lighted.
The police and fire commissioners
first asked that $500 be provided for
in the bond election and for the pro-
posed red light system. The mayor
secured estimates on what the system
would cost and was advised that it
would cost from $4,000 to $4,000.
The mayor then sat down on the propo-
sition.
The criminal element does not exist
strongly enough in Alameda to war
rant the expenditure of $4,000 on a
red light police signal system" said
Mayor Noy. I'VE do need better light
ing for some of our streets, however,
and j believe that it would be wise
for the council to drop the red light
matter and provide for more street
illumination"

Seeley's arrest last night by the San

aged prisoner was brought across the
bay this morning.
The police are seeking two younger
men, who talked in the presence of the
gullible gamblers OF huge winnings.
These two have apparently fed the
city, but the police have invaded the
room in the Ohio house where the
transactions were completed and have
taken the paraphernalia. 1t consists OF
deceptive telephone. through Whlch
the schemers pretended to receive bets
orally made; push button which rang
the telephone bell at the decisive mo-
ments and a money sack on which is
printed Syndicate bank-$500." In the
sack the police found 10 cents worth
OF iron washers.
Unless Seeley pays back to Curran,
ths unemployed man, $50 which was
taken, il is alleged, on a fake bet, the
police will force their venerable prls-
oner to a trial. One other man aided
in leading Curran into placing bet,
according to the complaint which the
defrauded gas filter made to Captain
of Detectives Petersen.
Curran said he met Seeley on ferry
boat while coming to Oakland. The
police say il was the aged mans role
to travel over the bay with the racing
crowds out of whom could easily be
found some one anxious to be conducted
to poolroom safe from the minions

Down town in Oakland Seeley and
Curran were accosted by a dapper
young stranger, who displayed a rich
wad of pal per money and asked for a
lead pencil which Seeley loaned.
The stranger" informed Seeley that
he had won $164,000 at the races. He
also casually remarked that he would
bet again that day. Curran was
brought to the point of taking hyer.
The bets were made in the Ohio house
room, says Currsn, and he won 81
The next day he won a like amount and

ADVISES CITIES
TO CONSOLIDATE
Secretary of Merchants Ex'
change and Other Speakers
Favor Single Government

OAKLAND, Dec. 9.-Wilbur Walker,
secretary of the merchants exchange,
delivered an address today before the
Tricity Rotary club on a consolidated
city and county government.
1T is the most important matter be-
fore the people of this county" he said.
Geographically we are one city, we
of Oakland. Berkeley, Alameda, Pied
mont, Emeryville and Albany. We are
used to the present condition of sep
arate towns and pay no heed to it, but
visitors comment on it. President Taft
observed it when he was here and ex-
on his next visit he would find the
communities united into one great city.
AT present our city governments are
inharmonious and expensive. Govern
ment this side of the bay could be
run better on the consolidated plan
with a tax rate of S1.I5 per 500 valu-
alton than it is now with a tax rate of
s2.75 per 500.
In order to unite two incorporated cities
ii is necessary to secure the signatures
to an election petition of not less than
20 per cent of the voters acting at the
last general election. The unanimity
with which the voters of Oakland and
Brooklyn townships voted at the an
nexation election is a good omen of
the way the people would vote on con-
solidation."
Fifty members of the club attended

her of her nervous affiiction.
