AT.THE THEATERs.

A magician, who is programmed
as GERMAN, the Wizard, will come
to the Lyceum next Monday and
Tuesday nights with a large magical
production on the order of the old
Herman and Kellar shows of a few
years. ago. German now claims to
be. the. greatest living magician and
promises that his performances here
at the Lyceum will exceed anything
of the kind, ever seen. Not only is
he an inimitably clever conjurer,
but a. mind reader as we'll, offering
many experiments in this interest,"
ing field which are new and alto
gether inexplicabe. In another part
of the performance he will seem to
call spirits to aid him, causing the
moving Of various objects, slate
writing. the naturalization Of hands,
faces, and even full form, and all
in full view, of the. audience. His
Illusion, The Bride of the Nile, is his
latest and greatest effort. In it the
audience will see an Egyptian
mummy transformed into a living
person, who will in turn vanish be-
fore their astOnished gaze:
For this one act German carries
a duplicate of an Egyptian sarcopha-
gus and a real mummy which he Sc
cured in London, during his recent
engagement there, while the robes
worn by the, reincarnated bride are
IDENTICAL to those worn in Egypt
some seven thousand years ago
The stage settings and trappings
are most elaborate and one can fairly
believe himself in fairyland while
watching. the weird feats of this
wonder worker. German has added
for this tour, the Hrubys, in their
splendid musical act. There, are five
in this team and their offering is

FOREMAN'S ARROGANCE IS
CAUSE OF RACINE STRIKE

RACINE, Wis. Sept. 3O.-Fiye
hundred men who are out on strike
against the Mitchell Lewis Motor
company of this ploce, have pre-
sented letter to the company citing
the reasons why they have gone out
on strike.
The mems objections are in the
most part conferred on one, Father"
Gill, who was fired from the Jeffries
Auto company, of Kenosha, five
months ago, for his arrogant attitude
toward the men who were employed
under him.
He was employed then as head in
spector at the Lewis plant, and when
he saw that the machine men were
making wages under the piece work
system in vogue that allowed them
the opportunity of living in decent
manner, he Immediately cut the
prices and placed the plant on a
sWeatshop basis.
A week ago last Wednesday, I'M
able to endure the presence of Gill,
the eighty men in the machinists'
department under him, struck in a
body and 400 other, men struck in
sympathy.

one OF the most novel and |entertain-
ing musical acts known in yaude-
VILE
The coming Of De<=Wolf Hopper,
who will be seen at the Lyceum
theater on Saturday, Oct 9Th, for
a matinee AND night performance in
his latest song comedy success, "A
Matinee IDOL" which ran for one
hundred nights in Chicago and for
six months at Days and the Lyric
theater in New York, will be regard
ed by local theater-goers as an un-
mixed delight. Mr.. Hopper stands
before the public pre-eminent as a
fun maker, and in "A Matinee
Idol" he succeeds in this respect to
greater degree than in anything
In which he has been seen in many
years. '..~s
"A Matinee Idol" is different.
Therein lies it's greatest charm, it's
finest distinction. The piece is not
an ordinary musical comedy, but in
stead is cast in the very latest form
of musical entertainment 1t is a
clean cut, screamingly funny comedy
with. music. The musical numbers,
however, are not interpolated; they
are part and parcel of the woven
texture which, goes to make the per-
feet whole. "A Matinee Idol" shows
Hopper at his best. AS a New York
paper so admirably put it, the piece
shows the chopper humor in it's
finest flower
The musical piece will be shown
here exactly as it was offered during
it's New York run, with Louise
Dresser, that most delightful of all
condolences, as Mr. Hopper,s chief
support, and that" stunning chorus
of beauties which set blase New
York agog last spring and summer.

RAILROAD IS ASKED
TO Divide PROFITS
Basis for Renewal of Seventh
Street Franchise Is
Proposed

OAKLAND, Dec. 19-Division of the
profits on the Seventh street Southern
Pacific line between the city and the
President B. H. Pendleton of the city
council on a basis for renewing the
franchise for the Seventh street line be-
tween Fallon street and the hay shore.
The company is applying fosga - year
renewal of the franchise for an electric
line.
Pendletons purpose is to establish
in this city a precedent for adequate
payment for all franchises for the use
of streets. Street car franchises are
now subject, under the state law, to a
rental of 2 per cent of the gross re-
ceipts annually. Pendleton seeks to
make the principle more broadly ap-
plicable in Oakland by procuring from
the Seventh street franchise a greater
percentage of profit to the municipality.
His proposal contemplates a modifi-
cation of the Chicago plan, where
profits are divided between the city
and the companies on basis of 55 per
cent to the city and As per cent to the
companies.
Seventh street franchise will again be
discussed by the council at an ad-
journed meeting Wednesday evening,
December %. Pendleton was requested
tonight to suggest terms of agreement
to be written into the franchise.
Into the calculations he will take
the 5000, 900 which the Southern Pacific
has promised the Seventh street prop
erty owners to spend in the pavement
of the street the distance of the fran
chise. This expenditure will be cred
tied to the company in payment for
the franchise. Added will be the cost
of land to be dedicated for street pur-
poses, the investment in electrizing
and other items of Investment. to reach
the total for which the company must
be reimbursed
The company will also be allowed 5
per cent on investment and SINKING e
fund of 9 per cent for the deprecia ton
of properties This whole amount will
be deducted from the receipts, as will
the operating expenses. The net re-
ceipts Will then be divided btween the
city and the company on a percentage
to be agreed upon.
To prepare the details of this ar
rangement Pendleton has obtained from
the Southern Pacific the necessary data
relating to the expenses and earnings
from the line. The company has sub
mitted all such information demanded
This data includes the investment in
the ferry steamers, given with depre
citation computed, at SS1O,933; total cost
of operation of ferry steamers, S494.626
for one year; gross receipts of all ticket
sales to and from San Francisco.
$1,25S, ,646.
The company reported the gross re-
ceipts from the six stations on the
Seventh street line for one year from
November 1, 1909, to October 81, 1910.
at S1S2, 1873.
The ticket sale in San Francisco for
points on the Sevent hstreet line is
estimated at $156,359. which will be

BULLOCK INQUEST
DEVELOPS CLEW
Witness Will Be Taken Over
Ground Where Santa Claran
Met His Death
Especial Dispatch TO The Call

SANTA CLARA, Dec IA sensa-
tion was caused at the inquest to-
night into the death of Frank Bull
lock. city engineer of Santa Clara, by
the curious action of Mike Fenelli. a
farmer of Santa Clara FenelIi, who
testified through an interpreter, con-
tradicted himself on material points
regarding his movements Saturday. the
day Bullock met his death. At II
o'clock tonight the coroner's jury took
a recess to enable the authorities to
take Fenelli over the ground he is said
to have covered Saturday and in the
vicinity of which Bullock met his
death.
Bullock. who was brother of Dis
trict Attorney Joseph Bullock of San
Mateo county, was found In dying
condition Saturday afternoon at l
o'clock near tie Meridian sorners road.
He had been struck with terrible force
over the left ear with a blunt instru-
ment. He died at II o'clock Saturday
night
The case has been a complete mys-
terry, but the perturbation of the wit
ness Fenelli is considered by the au-
thorities to indicate that a solution
might soon present itself. District At
torney Bullock is assisting the Santa
Clara county officials in the case.
