berry, Is Acquitted

ed the Chinese and testified against
MIN at the preliminary examination.
the jury in Judge Browns court this

Mayor Is Charmed

BERKELEY, April 1.-Aayor Hodg-
head went out to Berkeley heights to-
day 10 see the beautiful parks which
had been given to the city by the
owner of the tract. and after an hour
among the oak and eucalyptus trees,
through which the sun filtered delight
fully, expressed himself as being
charmed with the gift which he said
would prove a perennial pleasure, not
only 10 Berkeleyans and the crowds
which come out from Oakland every
Sunday to enjoy the surroundings, but
TO the increasing number of San Fran
ciscans who cross the bay to spend a
day of rest
Mortar Rock park, while not the
largest OF the three, Is. perhaps, the
most interesting from the point of view
Of the scholar or antiquarian, for here
are relics of the days when the noble
red man" held full sway along the
broad, beautiful slope facing the Golden
gate.
The mortars which give the park its
name are the crude grist mills of the
Indians-hollows In the solid rock worn
smooth by many years of grinding.
Indian Rock park is more extensive
and is interestingly divided by winding
geranium bordered paths and broken
by sloping stretches of velvety lawn
Winding steps, hewn out of the solid
rock, lead from several points to the
summit OF the crag which commands a
splendid view OF the bay and the Golden
gate and overlooks Berkeley square,
which adjoins Berkeley heights.
Further up the long slope is Grotto
Rock park, smaller than the others in
extent, but more commanding as to
position. This is so named because of
an immense natural grotto which runs
the entire length of the crag. Here
again art has assisted nature in the
shaping of a delightful playground
for old and young alike.
These parks, dotting the splendid
sloping stretch of fertile country which
forms the tracts of Berkeley heights,
Berkeley square and Northbrae greatly
enhance the beauty and desirability of
the properties and this is being appre-
ciated by the people who are coming to
spend their rest days here. The avail
able lots are rapidly being taken, no4
only by businessmen from Oakland and
San Francisco, but by Berkeley busi-
nessn1en who realize the future of this
section, which will soon have three
lines Of the Southern Pacific at the door
as well as one or more Of the Key
Route
The parks are at present reached by
the Northbrae car, which runs from
Berkeley TO the circle in the center of
the section in six minutes.
