Glem Arnold acted as secretary. When nominations for Clerk were called for C. D. Maloney, present incumbent and up till now a strong-candidate for the office. withdrew from the race.

"I did not know before," said Maloney facetiously, "that there were two such good men in town as Merrill and myself. In consideration of the long friendship between Merrill and myself, the large number of mutual friends that we both have and the unpleasantness that a contest between us would result in, both to our friends and the party, I wish to withdraw my name for the good of all concerned, and In the interest of the Republican cause." Maloney has been offered a position In San Francisco, and will retire from the active field of politics, though he will always retain that interest and loyalty to the party that have characterised his public career. The convention and nominees pledged themselves to enforce the mile limit law. The action of having this law enforced by private subscription was deplored. The Republicans also favor an increase In the school facilities.

They will fight for the amending of the charter to make the appointive officers elective. These are the three principal planks of local interest In their platform. The convention was made a permanent organization for two years with the above president and secretary. The following nominations were made: Clerk, C. S.

TILLMAN AND BENDEL NEGOTIATING FOR FLANT IN WEST BERKELEY. WEST BERKELEY, March 9. Tillman Bendel, the wholesale spice dealers and manufacturers of San Francisco, are now consummating a big deal with the Standard Soap Works of West Berkeley, 5 that will be of tremendous commercial importance to residents of this town. The proprietors of the soap works will neither deny nor affirm the report, but there is little doubt as to its authenticity. It ts said that the soap plant owners have been offered for the entire outfit, including buildings and considerable land, but that they are still holding out for The negotiations have been going on for the last week, but have not been closed yet.

The Standard Soap Works were ence one cf the largest factories of its kind on the coast. It produced the largest output of soap in all the standard brands of any other plant. Its location is on Third street between Addison street and Dwight way. Mrs. J.

W. Thomas, widow of the late Captain Thomas of La Loma Pa.rk, is the president of the company and Daniel E. Dowllng Is the manager and secretary. There is some reason to believe this purchase of the soap works will mean tbe first step in transferring the large manufacturing concern of the spice to this side of the bay.

March 9. The Town Trustees decided at, a recent meeting to have a steel tower erected on the building occupied by the fire department.

Because of the unprecedented prevalence of glanders among horses in this city. Quaran tine rules may be so rigidly enforced as to work great inconvenience to owners, particularly to those doing heavy trucking business.

Thayer, MI BERKELEY, March 9. Both the Republicans and Non-Partisans held their conventions Saturday- evening and nominated th-ir, candidates for the coming election on April 13th. The Republicans met in Shattuck Hall, while the Non-Partisans held their meeting in Odd Fellows' Hall. Both conventions were largely attended, much Interest being" manifested by the politicians and ther friends. Several candidates were made by both parties.

Merrill, for clerk, Hans-corn, for Auditor; Connor, Trustee from the First Ward; Staats, Trustee from the Fifth Ward: Weir. School Director from the First Ward, and Sutherland, School Director' from the Fifth Ward, will have no opposition at the election, being nominated by both parties. V. J. Robertson acted as chairman of the Non-Partisan convention, and K.

L. Favor as secretary. In arranging their platform the proposed amendments to the town charter were fully discussed. After going over the ground carefully the delegates decided that at this time it -was best to let the charter stand as it now' reads. It was the general opinion that to tinker with the charter would result in a great deal of confusion.

The Non-Partisans, therefore, will not favor the amendments at the coming election. Another important piank adopted was that all of the candidates should pledge themselves to. literally and rigidly enforce the mile limit law. The officers nominated were as follows: Clerks C. S.

Merrill; Marshal, C'has. T. Kerns (present Incumbent); Treasurer, Philo Mills; Assessor, I. W. Wells (present incumbent); Auditor, M.

During the past two weeks numerous complaints have been made to Marshal Geisenhofer of chickens being stolen and an attempt is being made to capture the thieves. It has been some time since the chicken thieves worked in San Leandro owing to the arrest of several small boys, who were caught red handed and narrowly escaped being sent to the reform school. Last week M. Paniaglott reported that one goose and ten chickens had been removed from his place at night. Since then several others have complained of similar losses, but so far no trace of the thieves can be found.

Chicken raisers in this vicinity have taken every precaution to protect their property from these thieves while Marshal Geisenhofer is doing all in his power to place them behind the bars.

The EN HAYWARBS, BERKELEY, March 9. If the Trus- tees of the Rhodes scholarships remain firm in their preesnt stand that all students who receive the scholarships must come up to the entrance requirements of Oxford, many American students who hope to. receive the advantages of one of the scholarships will be disappointed. For one of the requirements is that the students be familiar with Latin and Greek. In England every university man is well versed in the classics, while the American system of education does not lay the same emphasis upon these studies.

Many of our best students have only a brief knowledge of Latin and. know nothing of Greek. Principal G. R. Parkins of the Rhodes scholarship visited Berkeley Saturday afternoon and held ja.

conference with President Wheeler of the State University. The object of Principal Parkins' visit to the coast is to consult with the leading educators as to the best plan to persue In awarding the scholarships. He has traveled all over America, visiting the leading educational centers, California being the last place in his long tour. In an address before the students this morning Mr. Parkans said: "I am at present making a tour of this continent, gathering the opinions of the educators of the various schools and colleges relative to the adoption of a scheme whereby the terms of the Rhodes' scholarship may be carried out.

I have about finished my work, and will return to England in May, when I will make my report to the Rhodes Trustees. I think that we can announce some time in the fall the terms upon which the scholarship will be granted. Later I shall visit Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. "In regard to academic requirements one thing, is certain, Oxford will not take any man that can not come up to her matriculation requirements. This means that he must show familiarity with the Latin and Greek authors, and be able to present one of each for admission requirements.

This, I find, will present a great difficulty to the many American students. Oxford may at D. Chisholm of Haywards, died last; week in San Francisco.

W. Brayton. State Superintendent of the Children's Home Finding Society of California, gave an illustrated lecture yesterday evening at the Presbyterian Church of Golden Gate, on' the Subject, "The Making or Good Citizens." In course cf his lecture Rev. Brayton used selections from over one hundred stereopticon picturss, plain and colored, illustrating the work of the society and many of the phases of child and home life, together with ilustrat-ed spngs and some of the famous cartoons of Frank BeaTd. The society of which Rev.

Brayton is the president seeks to find homes for waifs who have no frue home, thus saving them from vagabopdry and crime. This 'commends itself to the public as being at once most hu mane and economical way of disposing of homeless children, as the placing of them in an institution has a tendency to stunt the individuality of a child which is fostered In family life and at the same time is less costly to society at large. it Luckless ventures are usually entered upon without intelligent consideration.
