25. City Attorney I Yank V. Cornish Is convinced that somebody la playing a. practical Joke at his expense. When pollcfi started, la owners of property that was weed-covered they presented to Cornish ft list of owners for whom they desired warrants for violation of the law.

Cornish unfolded the list and (rave one horrified glance, for lot like that of Abon.JBen Adhem, ornlnh's name led all the rest. Sine that time the city liall has riven Cornish no rest. The weed-cleaning days have (rone by and no warrants have been Issued for Cornish or others. This morning the climax came, Cornish believes, wheif he received a letter from W. J.

Locke, secretary of the I of California Municipalities. Locke mentioned the eonyention soon to be held by the league at Monterey and asked Cornish- to be among the speakers. i "If I may take the liberty of suggesting a subject for your paper, Locke wrote, 'I'd like to ask you to speak on the topic of MIS OPERA BOOSTERS The "Get Together" Banquet Proves Gratifying Testimonial of Civic Spirit. ALAMEDA, Bert 25. It tu a feast i of reason and a flow of soul, as well a 'a moat delightful repast for the Inner man, the "get-together" dinner of the -Alameda Chamber of Commerce, held last evening at Masonic Temple.

The seats at the bountifully-laden tables were all taken, a gratifying testimony to the clvlo spirit that has been engendered in Alameda. The uppermost thought In the minds of all present was to help Alameda progress. The feast was a decided stepping atone In this onward march of Alameda's boosting cohorts. Dr. W.

O. Bmlth was the toaatmaster 'Of the evening and under his skillful I guidance those In attendance were given I something to think about. This affair i was but one of a series that Is to be given, the next to be held October 29, when the secretary of the United States Chamber of Commerce, whose headquarters are at Chicago, will be the brilliant speaker of the evening. MARKS NEW ERA. "This has been a good dinner and a good occasion," said Dr.

Smith, In opening the after-dinner addresses, "and I hope that all have had a good time. This dinner marks In a way the beginning of a new era for Alameda. To those members of civic organisations who worked earnestly and faithfully for Alameda la due the credit for the reorganization of the Chamber of Commerce. We are going I to do something for Alameda. We have I already done so and have stimulated the ldea that Alameda needs attention.

The Chamber of Commerce promises results. II am proud of its members and the work they are doing and expect to do. If tho chamber "cannot accomplish something In I the next three years, then It will be set 'back" many years. I desire to Introduce president of the Chamber of Com-. moire, J.

8. McDowell, who Is devoting much of his own time for the welfare of this city." President McDowell launched Immedl-i ately Into a meaty talk, setting forth In bold outline the many things that the Chamber of Commerce has already ac- compllshed and the many things that are to be accomplished in the Immediate fu-1 ture. TEND TO CO-OPERATION. "One of the frst things accomplished was to get the people of Alameda together. Formerly they lacked this opportunity.

"These dinners Inspire confidence in one another and tend to coroperatlon among our citizens. Those who compose the board of directors of the Chamber of Commerce earnestly solicit co-operation in the work. J. "Among tne matters Taken up by the chamber wore various minor Improvements throughout the city, small, apparently, but necessary to make a city beautiful. We had listed all the broken-down fences, sidewalks In need of repair and weed-grown lots.

This comprehensive list was turned over to the city council and in turn given to the street committee for action. "Then there Is general work being done. As you know, there are two classes of work to be done In Alameda, the development of the south shore as a pleasure place and of the north shore as a commercial asset. The chamber has been instrumental In obtaining $1600 from the Board of Supervisors, with which to advertise the Interior cities of the state the advantages of the Alameda beaches, the delightful climate and the facilities offered by Alameda. The result has been, although the weather has not been as favorable this year as last, that the attendance at the beaches and parks has been from 100 to 200 per cent better.

CHANGING CAR ROUTES. "Another matter taken up was the changing of the route of one of the street car lines. The company made a new route which proved Inconvenient to the residents of the south side and a detriment to the merchants of Park street. The directors were hastily summoned together called upon the company's officials and a satisfactory agreement reached whereby the route was changed and better service given. company proved entirely willing to adopt the suggestions of the directors.

"In the matter of transportation from Ran Francisco for those residents who I are compelled to stay across the bay un- iii mig nuur, me committee nas con- lu ranee that later service will be given Alameda." McDowell then pointed out that the chamber prevailed upon the city council to adopt an ordinance making It necessary to have all persons who remove listed, so that merchants will not be de-, franded by those who move out over night: ha also told of the credit svstem established, stating that in Alameda there Is but a small percentage who are not entitled to reasonable credit; he pointed out how home trading had been fostered and stimulated; how Bay Farm Island, 'now as isolated as If fifty miles In the wilds. Is to receive telephone, electric light and mall service, as well as good roads, through the efforts of the chamber, thfs portion of the city having an assessed valuatloniof $150,000, and be- lng without the facilities named. OTHER EXCELLENT The sneaker nhnwnt hw recreation commission has been assisted with its May day fetes; how a floral ex hibit, excelled by none, has been maintained at the chamber's headnuarters, with the kind assistance of Superintendent Dunn of the city parks: how this exhibit attracted the attention of fair officials and resulted In their request for Alameda to make a similar display at iiiw eKptiBiuun; now ine yacnung, tennis and baseball activities have- been aided through money and trophy donations; how the Calgary baseball team was attracted to this city by the chamber; the conducting of the christening of the new ferry steamer "Alameda." which event brought much puhlicitv to this city; the home Industrie and exposition lectures held by the chamber for the edification of local residents: and the co-operation fit th rhnmher with th Tmtrlaf A niiiurn UlllliL.ll BIG PROGRAM MIS HELEN BROXK. BERKELEY, Sept. 25.

Song, dancing and reading compose the program which tae young people of tho First Baptist church have planned for the entertainment at which, this evening, they will help swell the building fund of that church.

A school in the northeastern section will relieve the congestion- at the Whlttier intermediate school, which has been the most crowded of any structure in the city, i In South Berkeley, probably west of Grove street, will be established the fourth intermediate school.

C. James and members of the school board and Professor C. E. Rugh, H. H.

He also urged the establishment of an Industrial zone on the north side and the encouragement of those Industries already established and others to come. MAYOR OTIS SPEAKS. Mayor Frank' Otis was then Introduced and gave a most inspiring address. He explained efforts of the city to obtain control of the waterfront and the defense made yesterday against the changing of the harbor lines.

The mayor said that if the plana set forth to change these lines were adopted that much of the city's waterfront would be confiscated. He asserted It as his belief that the matter had been settled for some time to come, however. The possibilities on the north side, or probabilities, he said, are great and that already Alameda has several Industries of which to boast. He urged the Installation of a freight line on the north side, so that water and rail will meet He said that In preventing a change In the harbor lines he did not desire to hinder Industries In any way. The mayor then took up the tax rate and spoke favorably of all the Items Inserted, with the exception of the $22,000 for street work.

He. declared that the streets must be Improved st once and he believes that $100,000 should be placed In the taxes this year for better thoroughfares. Mayor Otis spoke favorably about a municipal auditorium and urged Its immediate erection. He also spoke in favor of a tourist hotel. FAVORS CITY MANAGER.

The speatfer urged co-operation In obtaining a new charter for Alameda and favored the city manager plan, which he outlined eonclsely. With everything to make a good city, excepts streets, the mayor said that there was no reason why Alameda should not forge ahead rapidly, both as a residence and commercial city. He stated that he will always co-operate with the Chamber of Commerce to bring about the desired results. Superintendent of Schools C. J.

Du Four, W. Maslln of the library board Captain W. G. Tibbitts of the harbor advisory board and E. Bosahard also spoke.

Redlands and San Bernardino, and individual lectures In other California cities, on "The War What For? The Underlying Causes of the War Madness In Europe." That "the movement toward democracy" is the key to European social and political happenings of recent years Is Dr. Raymond's belief.

"Larger and larger numbers of the population," he savs In the syllabus for his lectures, "are becoming more Intelligent, more self-conscious, and in various tongues and under various banners are demanding and securing greatef opportunities for development, larger snares of he good things of life, exemption from the various tvrannles with which they have been afflicted tyrannies of ignorance, or of racial oppression, or of militarism, or of offlcinlism. or of hereditary caste.

In the different countries the forms of oppression vary, and so the popular- movements to throw off the oppression differ In Important respects, but in all these countries the fundamental character of the movement Is the same."
