EXTENDED STREET TO
OPEN NEW DISTRICT
City Engineer Prepares Plans
for Annex Improvement

OAKLAND, Sept. S.--City Engineer
F. c. Turner is preparing plans and
specifications and establishing grades
Tor the extension of Hopkins street
from Peralta avenue to Redwood road
in the annexed district, and the city
council probably will order the i'm
proyement made in compliance with
petition from 200 property owners.
The extension of Hopkins street will
give access to g. saction lying north of
Peralta avenue, which can be reached
now only by a tortuous route through
Fruitvale. With Hopkins street an
open thoroughfare to Redwood road,
there will be provided a street lead
ing from the now remote district to
the heart of the city, by way of Lake
Merritt boulevard. and Grand avenue,
north of the lake. Hopkins street now
joins Clinton avenue in East Oakland,
which leads to Athol avenue and the
Lakeside boulevard.
The extension of Hopkins street also
will shorten the route to that part of
Elmhurst which is tapped by the scenic
boulevard. The boulevard now leads
into lower Fruitvale. When Hopkins
street reaches Redwood road, the
shortest course from upper Elmhurst
for teams will be along the boulevard
to Redwood road, thence to Hopkins
street. and thence to the lake boule-
wards.
1t is probable that the Realty syndi-
cate will dedicate land for carrying the
extended Hopkins street farther on to
High street

cording to the police. he has long list
of victims. all of them women who
entrusted him with their slender means.
Stevens pleaded guilty to securing
deed to Richmond property from a
woman by giving her $40 and promising
her s400 in all for the property. When
he had the deed, he had IL recorded,
sold the property for $50 and deacmped

the woman owed him money and he
considered that she was paying him BY
giving him the deed.
Probation officer Ruess, to whom his
story was referred when the aged de-
fendant pleaded for mercy, declared
that 1t was untrue in it's entirety
Other similar charges are made
against Stevens by the police. On one
occasion. they say, he advertised for a
housekeeper who had 500 to deposit as
guarantee of good faith He found
one gullible victim who answered the
advertisement. paid him the deposit and

cIares That Game Is as
Good as Mathematics

as good as mathematics for training
the youthful mind to think" said Prof.
Sherman p. Thatcher in the first of
series of educational lectures before
the university in California hall this
afternoon.
Professor Thatcher. who spoke on the
subject of The Development of a
Country school for Boys" said that in
the game of baseball boys were re-
quired to learn the rules and apply
them in many a hotly contested game
on the diamond, and that in addition
to the mental training they thus re-
ceived the exercise was equally as
valuable.
The speaker declared that every
school should have a rough house"
room where the boys could turn loose
their pent up energies and engage in
rough games without danger TO the
furniture. and without having the
watchful eye of the instructor upon
them.
In speaking of present day reforms
in schools and school systems. Pro
fessor Thatcher said, that the idea
of self government in a boys school
was ont of the question; that the boys
should be taught discipline and have
responsibility placed on their shoulders.
He said that he obtained the desired
results by rewarding the good boys by
merits. the usual system of demerits
being abolished. To teach RESPONSE
bility he required each boy to care for
his own horse and stable
