MUSICAL PAIR ARE
The HEADLINERS
Girl With Contagious Smile Is
Another Feature at Oak
land Playhouse

OAKLAND. April 17-From an anus
ing and artistic standpoint Foster and
Foster at the Bell theater this week
have an excellent rating. They present
an entertaining oddity, entitled The
Volunteer Pianist" introducing clever
piano playing and delightful vocal Sc
lections. Foster is the possessor of a
strong barytone voice and his songs
were the hit Of the bill. The Shivoney
acrobat troupe is an attraction extraor-
binary. Six people-four women and
two men-present a repertoire of the
most daring featS known in acrobatics.
Helen Carman, The Girl With the
Contagious Smile,'' is a big winner ina
number of vocalizations. She has the
faculty of winning her audience from
the start and holding them every min
ute she occupies the stage. Dainty is
the apt word in describing the Carlton
sisters. cute and clever lassies. Their
skill and their charm always make a
favorable impression.
There is plenty of fun in the farce.
by Helm and Couzzenz. They are Eng
lish comedians and supply entertaining
patter. This week the great moving
picture film, with Roosevelt in Africa >"
will be shown. 1t is more than 1900
feet in length and one of the best pic
lures ever secured.

CONFER ON School >
and PARK BONDS
Mayor Mott May Be Called
! Upon to Settle Differences
of Commissions

OAKLAND, April 17.-Bonds for
schools and parks We're discussed last
night by the members Of the board of
education and by Park Commission
James p. Edoff for the purpose of fix
ing the total amount of the issue
which is to be submitted TO the voters
soon. The school directors held that
they could not do the required work
of undermining the department with
less than $3,235,050. and Edoff est
mates the Immediate requirements Of
the park department at S923.000 This
would make an issue of S4.15S.05O. and
TO this must be added the item Of
$500. 900 which the city council has
recommended for insertion in the com
ing bond issue to provide for a nu-
nicipaI auditorium.
EdoY maintained that the school de-
partment estimate should be cut, SO
that the other items would not be
imperiled by preponderance in one de-
partment. But President A. L. Han
naford of the school board declared
emphaticaIly that no smaller sum than
the estimate given would cover the
needs.
1t is probable that the differences
will be adjusted by conference with
Mayor Mott and other city officials. The
school department needs will be care
fully computed. and no larger issue
will be submitted to the voters than
positively is essential.

LABoRER WORTHY OF HIRE.
Colored Preacher Sues Flock and
Levies on Church Organ.
(Atlanta Journal, 10th


Rev. A. McIver, pastor of the Shi-
loh Baptist church, colored, has sued
his flock In the justice court and lev
led OH the church organ in a strenu-
GUS effort to collect $97.5O salary
which he alleges Is due him. He got
Judgment before Justice Jackson, and
the congregation has now appealed
the case to the Superior Court.
The preacher alleges that he has
preached wholesome doctrine and
rightly divided the Word Of Truth,
that he has performed such services
to the congregation as he Is directed
to perform by Holy Writ, and that
despite his fulfilment Of the Scrip
ture and the law, his church has
failed and refused TO pay him the
salary agreed upon. He sued the
congregation as a corporation in the
Justices court and got a Judgment
under which the church pews and
organ were levied on and hauled to
the justice court to be sold at public
outcry. 1t Is stated that some Of the
mmbers Of the congregation admit
ted the debt.
Since that time, however, other
members of~the congregation have
appealed the case on the ground that
the church was not corporation, but
partnership Of private individuals
who owend the church furniture.
They want that organ back.
