TAG DAY PLANNED
TO AID ORPHANAGE
Dominican Sisters Institution
in Need of Funds to Conn
plete Building

OAKLAND, Feb. OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
project to hold tag day in this city
March II for the benefit of the Domin-
lean Sisters orphanage near Newark
The receipts from the sale of the tags
will be devoted to a fund for the COM
pletion and furnishing of the big new
building which was recently given to
the institution by Rev. Father Blake
of st. Helena.
Although the structure is practically
completed, a considerable sum is need
ed for furnishings, plumbing and other
essential fittings, and the provision OF
these will be the object of the tag day.
Accommodations have been provided
in the new building fon the care of at
least $50 children and the applications
for admission to the orphanage make
it plain that 1T will be filled to its ca
pacity as soon as the building is ready.
The old orphanage building was badly
damaged by the temblor in 1906 ana
financial difficulties have made 1t I'M
possible for the institution to accom-
plish much in the way of restoration
work since that time.
Supervisor c. Frederick Horner is
one of the leaders in the movement to
collect sufficient funds TO restore the
orphanage on the aXimum or It's
efficiency and a number OF other lead-
ing citizens in various parts of Ala
media county are cooperating with
him. The management of the orphan
age is in the hands of IL sisters of the
Dominican order. under the supervision
of a mother superior. 1t is proposed
to call the institution, after the COM
pletion of the new building, st. Mary 8
orphanage.
One of the most striking features OF
the work accomplished by these sisters
is the substitution of kindness for the
customary forms of discipline. and the
reformation of many children who were
classed as incorrigibles when they en-
tered the orphanage attests to the effi-
cheney of the system. Many girls are
sent to the orphanage from the proba-
ton offices of the state, and almost
without exception they have responded
to the loving care of the sisters and
become clean minded, pure lived
women.

CLUBWOMFN PLAN
IMPORTANT WORK
District Federation Convention
Inspires Higher Aims and
BrOadenS Outlook

OAKLAND, Feb. 20.-The ninth an
nual convention of the Alameda district
has been added to history and the 80
organizations with their membership
of $500 enthusiastic clubwomen are
ready to begin a new years work with
broadened outlook and higher aims.
The three day program which was pro-
vided this week for the session at the
Adelphian club house in Alameda was
serious and vital.
1t was a harmonious gathering of
women, perhaps because all the dis
turbing questions had been decided be-
fore the session began.
Mrs. Annie Little Barry, whose cleo
ton will be confirmed by the state con-
Vention to meet in Santa Barbara in
April before she takes her seat as
president of the district, was the logi-
cal choice for the highest office within
the gift of the gathering.
The suffrage enthusiasts in attend
ance at the convention succeeded in
winning a victory over the conservative
members, who in the past have put the
ban upon the discussion of woman s
right TO vote, by the resolution pro-
posed from the floor placing the con-
vention on record as in favor of work
ing for school suffrage.
MIS- Barry WITHIN the coming month
will take up the personnel of the dis
trict committees which will work with
her during her first term in office.

Rescued by MOtOrman

SAN LEANDRO, Feb. 2O.-Lying un-

in time to prevent the injured man be-
ing run over.
YounglOve saw a runaway team pass
him at Lemon avenue and when he
came to Dutton avenue. a block fur
Their. he saw the body of man across
the track Realizing instantly that the
glare from his headlight would blind
Smith so that he would not see the
man until too late. he threw the emer-
gency brakes on. Jumping out, he ran
toward the Oncoming car. waving his
arms. When Smith brought his car
to stop it was but a few feet from
the unconscious man.

DIR. C. II. Miller treated him. He was

RUSSIAN PETROLEUM
INDUSTRY RECEDING
Oil Bearing Lands Are Rapidly
Being Exhausted

A German publication has the fol-
lowing from its st. Petersburg cor
respondent in regard to the Russian
petroleum industry:
THE last year has brought retro
gression rather than progress. Over
production is on the increase, and the
circle of customers is not being ex-
tended. As I learn from a competent
source the stocks of petroleum in 1909
show considerable increase as COM
pared with those OF previous years
Prices at the same time display un-
usual fluctuations. This is a state of
affairs that utterly contradicts the ru-
mors current both here and abroad as
to secret syndication of the Russian
oil works On the contrary. embittered
competition prevailed the whole year
through in the Russian oil market
Exact statistics of the petroleum
output up to December 1. 1909, are now
to hand and give a total of 1850. 900
pools Ga pood equals So pounds), as
compared with 433, 10000 pools for
the corresponding period of 1908.
THAT makes an increase of Is, 400. 900
pools of raw oil for the IL months,
which is to be attributed exclusively
to developments in the Bibi-Eybat dis
trict. In all the other districts the
output has receded considerably, a
circumstance which appears to confirm
the view that the old areas of exploi-
tation in Baku are petering out As 10
export, the estimated figure for 1909
is $4,000, 900 pools, as against 10000. 900
pools in former years.

PIEDMONT CITIZENS
WANT ANNEXATION
Will Ask Oakland City Council
to Call Special Election
on Proposition

OAKLAND, Feb. 20.-A petition bear
ing the necessary number of sigma
lures to make 1t valid will be presented
TO the Oakland city council on Febru-
airy % 10y citizens of Piedmont asking
the city fathers 10 call a special cleo
ton at which the question of anneXing
Piedmont to Oakland shall be sub
the latest step toward the establish
ment of a city and county government
for Alameda county, which students of
political evolution declare TO be in
evitable
In the event that the proposed cleo
ton should result in a victory for the
anneXationists greater Oakland will
include all the territory between the
boundary line of the city of Berkeley
on the north, the limits of San Leandro
on the east and the bay shores on the
south and west, with the single eX-
ception of the town of Emeryville,
which still remains a corporate entity.
There is also a movement on foot
among the citizens of Berkeley favor
ing the annexation of the college town
to Oakland.
The city of Piedmont was organized
in 1907 as a city of the sixth class. At
the present time it consists of 439
dwellings, with a total population esti-
mated at 2.20O. The property valua-
ton last year was s3.5s6.5s0. which
shows an average of 1852 per capita.
This figure is exceptionally high owing
TO the fact that Piedmont is the home
of an extensive millionaires' colony
and is famed for its handsome resi-
dences and wealthy people. The area
of the town is LOO acres.
The citizens of Piedmont have just
voted 10 call a bond election on Feb
ruary "a to consider the proposition Of
mourning an Indebtedness of S177,500
for street and fire protection improve
ments.
The petition asking the Oakland city
council TO call an annexation election
will be presented Immediately after the
bond election is held. Among the lead
ers of the annexation movement in
Piedmont are Rupert Whitehead and
II. c. Capwell
