A small and conveniently arranged stage is at one end of the auditorium, where about 500 people may be seated.

The boxes overlook the rear of the hall, and are richly finished with rich green velvet hangings. The large number of fine paintings which adorn the walls of the various rooms is one of the many pleasing features in connection with the installation of the new club. The club will meet regularly on the first Thursday evening of each month and the third Thursday mornings. Various forms of entertainment, such as lectures, musicales and dramatic recitals, will engage the attention of the members frequently, and the auditorium will rented out for all such affairs.

And its rights will always here find a champion, for everything which destroys the home inflicts a vital injury on the commonwealth. The enemy of the home is worse than traitor In arms, for he poisons the life gprinss of our national existence. Let the American home become decenerate and this republic, which we love, and around which cling the cherished memories of the past and the jeweled hopes of the future, would fall in a stupendous ruin, for the purity of the home Is the safety of the We wish to assure Mr.

and Mrs. F. M. Smith that we are of one voice In thanking them for this beautiful building, which, in Its pure architectural outlines, fitly symbolizes the purposes to which it Is dedicated, but our best appreciation will be shown in the bending of every effort to bring to pass that for which It stands. Now, therefore, by virtue of the power in us vested bv the board of trustees of the Mary Smith Trusts, we dedicate this building to the uplifting and glorifying of the home.

May God cause Its work to- endure from generation to generation, and may thousands of homes hereafter arise and point to it as the source ot their happiness and inspiration. The Home Club has a membership of about 300 and includes both men and women. The purpose of the club is to idealize home life and to create a healthful" and cheerful social atmosphere.

The furnishings and fittings through- OAKLAND, March The new bullding of the Home Club was dedicated this evening with elaborate exercises in tha presence of a fashionable audience. The building, which was completed largely through the efforts of Mrs.

F. M. Smith, was ablaze with light and many notable people were present. Rev. R.

'Brooks opened the exercises with an invocation. There was a song by the Orpheus Club and then Rev. C. R. Brown addressed the audience for a few moments.

Mrs. Frederick S. Stratton sang, accompanied by Mies Pauline Collins. There was another song by the Orpheus Club and Mrs. Stratton sang "My Love's An Arbutus." Harmon Bell delivered the dedicatory address, in which he said: We do not meet to-niifht to dedicate this clvb building in commemoration of some paat tvent, however, memorable or heroic, but the purporcs to which It Is dedicated point to tha luture and cluster around home.

At the mere mention of the word "home" how the memories thicken about us ot the old home. Its Jo.vk and iWrasant aurprises, its partings and reunions, its wealth ot love and itc uplifting Ideals. We forfcet, amid the the clamor and the tumult ot life, that the material things for which we strive are but for the moment, and passing away leave not even an echo to tell of their departure unless they are dedicated to a purpose In which dwells the spirit of Immortality. Only that which lives forever Is really worth our while. All the rest is but a bubble, the plaything of a child.

This building la dedicated to such an everliving purpose, for from Its walls shall forth every thought, desire and aid which can add happiness, comfort and Joy to the home, and these influences, parsing from one home to another, will continue, on, we trust, forever. In the cottages are fifty little girls, who in will become the builders of fifty homes. Hero they will be taught how to develop the highest type of womanhood, and also that marriage should not be the result of a mere fancy, but of careful character analysis', as well ps love, and that happiness does not result from the promise of one to obey the' other, but from the obedience of both to those highest Ideals which go to make the perfect home. HOME PURITY IS SAFETY. Lester Birch, 16 years old, a United States postofflce messenger, was struck this evening shortly before 9 o'clock by an east-bound Seventh street local train at Willow and Seventh streets and both his legs were cut off below the knees.

The boy was crossing the track on his bicycle and did not see the train approaching in time to save himself. The engine struck him and several cars passed over his legs before the train was stopped. C. S. Griffith carried tlie mangled boy to a nearby drug store, whence he was removed to the Receiving Hospital.

The surgeons amputated the crushed limbs, but said there was little chance for the injured boy's recovery, so serious was the shock and the hemorrhage. Young Birch had gone to West Oakland with special delivery letters. His first thought through all of the shock and suffering was for the mail that had been given in. his care. "Whatever you do to me." said the plucky young messenger, "look out for those letters.

They must be taken in charge by somebody from the postofflce." Birch's home is at Eleventh street, where he resides his mother. Peculiarly pathetic was the occurrence, the boy's mother being seriously ill and in straitened circumstances. His earnings went to support her.

J. Petersen on the relations of the policeman to the ubiquitous pmall boy, his pranks, his play and his daily round of life. It was the beginning of an effort on the part of the police officer to bring before the youth of the schools in a plain, simple way the reasons why certain laws are enforced that seem obnoxious to the boy.

"How many children are afraid of a policeman?" queried Captain Petersen at the outset. The response was an almost unanimous raising of hands. Oakland Office San Francisco 1118 Broadway, March 24. EXPLAINS LAW TO CHILDREN Captain of Police Petersen Talks to iV a. Large Audience at Public School It developed to-day that there was seme shooting yesterday morning In Co-ed Canyon, to which a lot of freshmen and a night watchman were the The watchman's name James Smith.

He came upon the students in the canyon and ordered them to move on. They did move on, but had not gone far when one of them fired two shots. Smith fired a shot to attract the attention of Professor Cory and his posse, but by the time they arrived the belligerents had fled far away. Just what charge the committee can bring against the students is somethings of a mystery. None of those captured were on Charter Hill and none were engaged in a rush: so it remains for the committee to charge that they violated the spirit of the manifesto that there must be no attempt at rushing.

The committee takes the ground that the would have rushed if they could. It was the ounce of prevention, administered by the committee, that prevented. "The affair -will be fully investigated by the committee," said Professor Cory to-day. "Every man caught will be given a full hearing: by us. He will have a chance to fully explain hia actions on Wednesday morning.

This meeting will be held in a day or so, probably to-morrow." All the talk on the campus at the University of California to-day concerned the fate of the eight students caught roaming the streets and hilla on Charter day eve by Professor C. L. Cc'i-y and his posse "of imported sleuths from Oakland. To be or not to be, that was the question.

offense? 'But even Professor Cory wouldn't answer any of these questions. And to be sure he is the only one who knows. The Oakland police do not presume to be familiar with such affairs or on the inside at all. Professor Cory even withheld the names of the eight. The only one that anybody really knows Is that of fellow caught on Charter Hill.

The Oakland Transit Consolidated today from J. H. Macdonald the franchises for the street railroad connections in East Oakland known as the Fourth avenue cut-off, which were included nith a College avenue franchise in the blanket purchase for $8300 Macdonald made three weeks ago in the City Council, outbidding the Transit Company.

The terms of the purchase of the cutoff franchise not be made public. Attorney Harmon Bell, representing the company, said they were satisfactory to both side? and that the formal transfer of the franchises to his people would take place as soon as the ordinance awarding them to Macdonald had been passed and signed by the Mayor. This settlement insuros the immpdiatp construction of the cut-off, which will materially benefit the large section of the east side known as Peralta Heights. In fact, agitation by the improvement club of that district since Macdonald got control of the franchises led directly to the action to-day that has relieved the citizens of their fears that the important railroad improvements in territory might be blocked.
