This is the question the com-, mlttees arranging the Baby hospital benefit at the Auditorium are asking. They are going to have one; Porter Garnett of the I'liiversity of California has said It. But that Is as far as -they are in on the secret, so far. The "Fantasle Lunaire" wilt be a novel spectacle at the' hall.

The stage, in. solid black, will be lighted only by a big electric moon and siars, and the ceiling of the building will also be lighted with blue stars. There will be a "dance of the moonbeams" and other spectacular fnutures, designed by the pageant expert. 1 "The affair," says Garnett, "will not be a pageant. I did not know what to call It, so in" vented this title." That Is the whole of the mystery of "La Petite Fantasle Lunaire." Arrested for Alleged Theft ofLight Bulbs Iva Thorp was arrested by State Railroad Policeman JerryMcIvor this morning with forty-live electric bulbs in his possession.

Thorp was taken Into custody while unscrewing the bulbs from their sockets In electric cars of the Southern pacific Company at the Oakland pier. According to the authorities, Thorp has taken more than 300 light bulbs from the corporation's cars In the past two weeks. A charge of petty larceny will be lodged against him. Hindus Are Denied American Citizenship EL CEXTRO, Oct. application of a large number of Hindus for admission to American citizenship was.

dismissed today by Superior Judgl Franklin J. Cole after the East Indians had been given an opportunity to prove that they belonged to certain castes, in order that the case might be further considered. They made no attempt to produce this proof, however. None have ever been sdmlttH tr cltlnenshlp here. 1 than the sailing vessel that had rounded the horn, land the wharf.

The wharf, either Carpentler's or De Fremery's, is upon the most approved type. It has several piles, and a fender strip, an apron, and everything appropriate to the dignity of the only landing- place in the city. Behind the wharf there Is depicted "the Encinal," a grove of trees which gave, the first name to this community. The trees are not many. But they have all the beauty of the engraver's art lavished upon them.

With a magnifying glass It Is possible to count the acorns, so no one need doubt that they are oak trees. There is no label, but it has never been doubted tfiat they were Intended for "oak tree. No one has ever called them carrot tops, or even spinach. In April, 1854, Mayor Carpentier aMdressed a message to the city council regarding these trees. He said: The chief ornament and at traction of this city consists doubtless in the magnificent grove of evergreen oaks which covers its site, and from which it takes both Its former name, of Flncinal and Its present one of Oakland.

Their preservation ought to be with you as It shall be with me. a subject of peculiar care. The destruction of a single tree, on whose land soever It stands, should be considered a public injury. I recommend the passage of an ordinance for the protection of shade trees, imposing the heaviest penalties for its Infraction. The ordinance was passed.

Almost the only oaks left are the dead one In the plaza and that on the city seal. And that on the old seal win soon be gone. Mayor John L. Davie has leveled the shaft of his criticism at the municipal insignia of the oak, the dog and the rowboat. The city is to have a new and resplendent elusion of the Scientist BERKELEY, Oct.

17. "The great stretches of wheat fields In the Dakotas may be Visible to observers In Mars If they are Interested In this planet," said Percival Lowell, founder of Lowell Observatory r.t Flagstaff, Arizona, addressing arf Interested assemblage at Hearst hall, University of California, last night on "Mars; Forecasts and Fulfillments." Professor Lowell said that the so-called canals visible to all observers of Mars were great stretches of vegetation, 1 thousands of miles long and nun fireds of miles wide, and that there Is nothing so gigantic on the earth's The theory that Mars is inhabitable Is arrived at by the eminent astronomer because of the geometric accuracy with which the great fields of vegetation are laid out. He said: Drawing these canals, as we have 1 called them, is impossible with the free hand. They are so precise that It is possible to accurately record them only with a rule and compass. NOT NATURE'S WAY.

It seems too much to ask that nature lay her plans so carefully and bring out vegetation in absolutely geometrical figures. Two parallel canals are exactly the same distance apart for thousands of miles. Th'ey do not follow the surface line and no man of science has ever found nature acting In this way in any Long before Peary or Amundsen had reached his respective pole on earth, astronomers at Flagstaff had studied the poles of Mars and had fairly minute knowledge of their topography and general behavior. The astronomers were able In 1911 to watch the very beginning of the formation of the polar cap and through the circumstance of its formation showed that frost preceeded Ice and when the thaw came in the spring canals sprang into view. This -was the fulfillment of the theory that vegetation exists on Mars and indicated that the canals which we had considered as waterways of gigantic size were great stretches of land fed by these canals which were too small to be seen.

The seasons on Mars, "which are longer than ours, were, when in observations, a period of six I weeks sufficed to change the blue coat or arms, witn tne city nan, and "No. But that means nothing the east and the west meeting, and Waite is one of his kind in a gen-ship and rail coming together, all eration.

But the seal will no longer be forced to bear the cynical gaze of a public blind to Its sym bolic beauty.

The seal of the city of Oakland never boasted artistic excellence. For many years It pained the nrida ,0 rmer Mayor Frank K. Mott. who dreamed long and earnestly of a new design that should be at once chaste and dignified, to symbolize "My City "That's the. old De Fremery dog," Mayor Mott used to say sadly, as he would gazs mournfully at the seal emblazoned In gold on a new bond issue.

But he. muttered criticism each year of the ancient seal, the De Fremery dog con- unued to sit upon the De Fremery wharf, which comprised the entire Oakland waterfront, according to the representation Thlch appeared upon all formal documents, from police court subpoenaes to the certification upon the, oath; of office of a new mayor. Oakland was Incorporated as a town in 1852, ut It was not until several years later that the community achieved the an official seal with a dog and a wharf and an oak tree-on it. It is declared that the dog was not a De Fremery canine at all, but belonged to Horace 'VAT- Carpentier.

Car-pentler, according to one tradition, had the dog placed on the wharf to guard the waterfront, which he had gained in a "dicker" with the city when he was mayor, giving a little old red school house on the hill In exchange. The seal actually displays several green which we have come to know as vegetation to a light chocolate color. PLANET OF EXTREMES. Mars is a placet of extremes as is the desert, but the mean temperature we have figured to be about 48 degrees Fahrenheit. An interesting experiment Was made in observation of the polar cap in 1916 and the melting away of the frost was noted.

At the same time the melting away of the frost on one of the buildings at the observatory was noted and ench kent pace with the ffther.

according to a ruling of the district court, TO RENT STORK WITH L.ARGK WTNDOW 13TH AXD BROADWAY Adjoining Southern Pacific Company's Former Warden of Sing Sing Is Firm in Belief That Honor System Will Live; Is Ready i to Help Penal Institutions "No Bad Men in World," He Says; Some Are Insane and Should Be Locked Up; Death Should Not j- Be Inflicted By GEORGE MARTI X. NEW YORK, Oct. 17. Out as "honor system-" warden of Sing Sing, Thomas Mott Osborne is established In New Tork today as consulting en glneer on prison reform to any penal institution In the world. Services free.

"I am still convinced that there are no bad men In the world." said I Osborne today. "I am sure my method Is right. Some day it will be the only one in use." "Do you think," Osborne was asked, "that Dr. Arthur Warren Wnltn who confessed to murdering his. wife's parents, Is a good man? Or is he bad; Inherently criminal and He answered: I think Dr.

Waite Is Insane. Not violently Insane, but excessively abnormal. He has control over his mental processes, but his mind is so warped and distorted that his murdering his father and mother-in-law by poison is not surprising. I have studied Waite in the death house at Sing Sing. His predominant characteristics are excessive self-centering, utter selfishness and extreme sensuous-ncss.

WAITE EXCEPTION. "Do you think a man like Waite can be redeemed?" "But Waite is under sentence of death," I suggested. "Do you think he should die in the electrio chair as he has been condemned to die?" "No; I would not kill Watte. I would not kill anybody. Waite should be locked up for life, I think:" "In solitary?" "No; he should be permitted to mingle with the other men in prison.

He wHl always be as he has been and is now, but be should not be executed." "What Joes he say about himself now that he has been in the death house several months?" Osborne answered: He says what I very seriously doubt; that he has had a change of heart. He writes poetry. Oh, awful poetry! And he reads the Eible. Poor fellow, I believe he thinks he is having a fine time. Just as he had them when he was racing up and down Broadway in an automobile and pretending to perform delicate operations at hospitals, he still has his feminine admirers and he revels in them Just as much as ever.

SYSTEM WILL LIVE. Tou would be astounded at the number and sort of women who write to him. You should see the line of gush that some of them send him, to which he replies in kind. One woman has discovered that she is his soul-mate. But Waite's case stands alone.

In all but these exceedingly rare Instances the honor system is an absolute "success. We have re-'" duced the form to fundamentals now and here after I shall hold myself In readiness to help establish the system wherever it is asked. All I demand is that the head of the institution be in sympathy with the idea. I expect also to further the work by reducing some of my lectures and other data to textbook, form. Depend upon it, the honor system may be hindered, but it cannot be hurt by its It will go right along, whether I am at Sing Sing or In the grave.

There was neither bloodshed nor serious rioting up to noon today, but the feeling is a strong as ever. Early morning reports of rioting dwindled later to an irresponsible Jag, who fired several shots In the air. Says Wife Threatened to Have Him Killed SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 17.
