New Year is really it in Japan, the
celebration of Americans and other out.
siders being tame I'm comparison with the
fourteen days of festivity given UP To il
I'm the land of the chrysanthemunl. And
yet how few know anything about the
celebration over there. The Chinese New
Year has been written up SO much that
nearly everybody knows about il; but
Japan's has remained a good deal of a
mystery. This fact makes the article in

CAPITALIST RUNS
AFOUL Of sweeper
Driver of Auto and Woman Com
panion Are Thrown Under
Street Cleaner

OAKLAND. Aug. 29.-M. f. Tucker, a
Modesto capitalist, drove his automo-
bile into the rear of a street sweeper
at Twenty eighth street and Telegraph
avenue at 2:30 O'Clock this morning,
the impact throwing Antoine Lewis,
driver of the sweeper, to the pavement,
and pitching Tucker and his woman
companion under the big broom of the
cleaner. Lewis incurred only slight in
juries, while Tucker and the woman
escaped any hurt. The auto was dam
aged and the street sweeper was put
of commission.
Joseph Martin, owner of the sweeper.
appeared at the city hall this forenoon
to demand the arrest of Tucker on a
charge of running his auto reckIessly.
The capitalist also appeared before
Prosecuting Attorney Decoto and Of
fered to pay Martin for his loss, thus
squaring the trouble out of court.
Tucker asserted that he was driving
slowly and that the sweeper swung
across his course unexpectedly. He re-
fused to tell the name of the woman
riding with him. He returned to his
home this afternoon.

WOMAN'S DEATH
CAUSES SUICIDE
Well Known Gambler Shoots
Himself Because He Had
Lost His Companion

OAKLAND, Aug. 29.-Brooding over
the death of a woman who was his
companion and who died about a year
ago, George Lyon Baker, professional
gambler, decided today that life was
no longer worth living without her and
ended his existence. He placed re-
.volver against his breast in his room
in the Oriental house, S64 Washington
street, and fired three shots. He died
on the operating table of the receiving
hospital.
Baker was well known in the sport
ing fraternity. That there might be
no mistake he wrote down the follow
ing on a card:
My. name is George Lyon Baker.
My sister is Minnie H. Baker. r. +.
u. No. l, Winooski, VT. Give my
body to some medical college and
cut me up for the good of the game.
t | cant help this: | am tired of life
$500 God forgive this act; $40 in
my pocket. Goodby all. BAKER.
On the reverse of the card were the
following verses:
If she smokes, twas you who taught her;
1T she drinks, you showed her how.
If she is as you have made her,
is 1t right to knock her now?
God made man and God made woman,
But upon different plan
There never a real bad woman
That was not made by man.
Baker began to drink heavily after
the death of his friend a year ago. so
much so that he recently went to hos
pital in the hope of shaking off the
hold that liquor had gained on him.
This was without success and for the
week before his suicide he drank heav-
lily. few days ago he confded to a
friend, George Vaughn, that he felt like
blowing the top of his head off
Baker was about 45 years of age.
He was known as Hard Times" Baker
by his associates, in spite of the fact
that of. late he had always seemed suf-
f1ciently supplied with funds He
dressed shabbiIy, but was known
among the fraternity for his generosity
to unfortunate friends

CITIZEN CAPTURES
DANGEROUS CROOK
Burglar Caught by II. S. Ander'
son Served Prison Term
for Bank Robbery

OAKLAND, Aug. 29.-Bank robbery,
petty larceny, burglary AMI two peni-
tentiary terms make up the history of
Ed Carrigan. alias Currigan, alias Carl
son, whom Harry s. Anderson of 1923
Second avenue captured last night
when Carrigan had robbed his home.
Fourteen years ago the prisoner was
serving time at Deer Lodge, Mont, for
bank robbery.
AS long ago as 1892 Carrigan was
known to the police here. That year
he was arrested by Detectives Holland
and Shorey for the burglary of w. l..
Taylor's hardware store at Twenty
third avenue and East Fourteenth
street He got four years at Folsom.
In August of the same year Carrigan
had been arrested here for petty lar
ceny. committed at H. Furst's store,
901 Broadway.
August 20, 1909, Carrigan and his
wife, Annie Holmes, were sent toe the
San Francisco county jail for a year on
three petty. larceny charges. Released,
the crook returned to Oakland and was
captured last night.
William Ashley, living in First
avenue al East Twelfth street, identi-
fed Carrigan today as the man he saw
last night at his front window, an hour
before the Anderson burglary. Ashley
heard somebody opening the window
and went to observe. Raising the win
dow he peered directly into the face
of the burglar, who fed.
The police suspect that their prisoner
is one of a gang or pair of burglars
who operated in Oakland last night.
Several homes were entered, nearly all
with jimnies. F. G. Austin reported
that a house breaker had used Jimmy
to pry open the rear window of Mrs.
c. NJ. Benson's home, 1116 Filbert
street. AS Mrs. Benson is out of town
Austin could not tell what had been
stolen.
A Jimmy was also used at G. W.
Painters home. 1921 Thirty third
avenue, which was entered through a
bathroom window. Jewels worth S46
were stolen.
W. r. Parker's home and restaurant
at 331 East Fourteenth street was
entered by a burglar after midnight.
Mrs. Parker heard the intruder and
called her husband. When Parker
started a search he saw the man run
ming out of the front door, which had
been pried and left open. The thief
carried away $3.50.

OMMISSIONER TALKS
ON MUNICIPAL PARKS
w. S. Gould Declares Trend Is
Toward Public BouIevards

OAKLAND, Aug. 29-Park Commits
sloner Wilson $. Gould delivered an
address before a large audience of
members of the First Unitarian church
at Wendte hall, Thirtieth and Castro
streets, on the park work of this city
The trend of the times is toward
public parks and attractive boule-
wards" said Gould. 1.-The horse and
phaeton are passing before the auto
mobile and motorcycle, and conse-
quently people are seeking their recre-
alton in a larger way than they did a
few years ago. The city that does not
have open spaces and boulevards is
behind the times.
In answer to this demand, Oakland
has gradually enlarged its park sys-
tenn. Owing to lack of foresight in
earlier days, when land was cheap, we
are now forced to acquire isolated
tracts, instead of having large central
districts for parks. The acreage of the
park system is so situated that every
section of the city is being used, and
by a series of boulevards we are seek
ing to connect the whole and to make
a uniform system. The playground
movement we heartily indorse.'
