John L. Doyle Does Not Believe II VIII
Ever Fall Under Railroad Control.
Editor CdU-In THE CALL IL has been stated
that what the public apprehend IS that the con-
troll OF this canal may fall into the hands OF the
railroad companies, who would use 1t TO stifle
competition and bolster I'D the If nscontluental
trafflc by rail- al exorbitant rates."
! have often heard this obj clfOn suggested
and In various forms. 1t is frequently put In the
form Of an apprehension that the canal might
"becOme another monopoly" It Is a fear n-
comprehensive 10 me- and l would like 10 ad.
dress through your columns a few questions 10
those who suggest Il. Canals for transportation
are not new III the world; quite the contrary
Can any instance be produced where one OF them
became monopoly or was used o stliie com.
petition? Can any way be suggested In which
canal can be so used? III seems 10 me that "a
canal Is Ike river or arm OF the sea, ueces-
saTily open 10 all Watercraft on payment of
tolls. The revenues OF The company own
Ing IL depend OH the magnitude of the
traffic alone. The greater the competition
therefore the more money they make. It is In
other words, Of its very essence 10 encourage
competition IN carrying, and The cheapness Of
water borne freight needs no demonstration.
That canal should be ObStructed or broken no

can be kept open or used for such purpose passes

believe 1t possible kindly tell Us how il eau be
done?
But again this canal franchise Is owned by an
incorporated company. How is control OF such
a company 10 be obtained except through a ma
jOrty Of the stock? The bill now before Con-
gTess provides that 20 per cent OF the Nicaragua

The Grand Jury Looking Up the Thrifty
Saloon Man.
The Grand Jury was in session again
yesterday afternoon, and Joseph p. Mona
CHAN, a real-estate operator, was under in
vestigation. Joseph is the proprietor of a
saloon on wheels, doing business out near
the ocean when not engaged in the profit
able occupation Of selling lots to which, it
is alleged, he has no title. The lots in ques-
ton were located on the south side Of
Golden Gate Park, and Monaghan has
already disposed of three or four blocks
His WORK was discovered a little over
week ago when some of his victims at
tempted TO record their purchases. It seems
that his title is based upon qutclaim deed
from a man named Green, dated 1884.
Thirty-five acres were included in the con-
yeyance, but as Green never had any right
TO the land the deed was worthless. Mon
Afghan was won't to look his broad acres over
from his rolling saloon, dispensing whisky
the while. He was ordered Fl time after
time, but all he had 10 do was shut M shop
and wheel his saloon over TO the next lot.
There we're several witnesses before the
Grand Jury yesterday afternoon, among
whom were r. T. Harding, attorney for the
California Title Insurance Company; Jacob
Heyman, one Of the large owners on the
south side, Mrs HasbT0ok and others.

There is q peculiar fascination about an

of prophet to predict success TO the sale
which MeAlee, Baldwin IL Hammond will
hold to-day atthe the Real Estate Exchange.
The property is admittedly superior to any
thing which has been offered in the auction
room for years. AMI the public will unques-
tiOnably show their appreciation by pur-

They, however, announce that no limit will
be placed on the lots, but on the contrary

motion of j. T. Burke to reduce her ali

one Molloy which claims that the Harvey

that nothing is owing it from the estate and
none Of the property of the Moll1y estate
was mingled with the assets Of her hus-

True. Burke presented claim but il was
not allowed and all claims presented will
not amount to 80 per cent of the assets,
therefore the Harvey estate cannot be said
to be lnsolvent. She denies rs he has
charged that she received "any sum of

Pacific Company on account of the death Of

where they located it. They saw man
running along Pine street and oyerhauied
him. He resisted arrest but was oVeTp0w-
cred after a desperate struggle. The man
proved 10 be Charles Mcneil, who had re-
Gently been employed as a painter on tue
MeTTilliOn residence.
After placing him under arrest the officers
searched and found Oh his person revolver
with one chamber empty. AT first Mcneil
denied all knowledge Of the shooting, but
subsequently admitted having accidentally
fred the shot. Although he could not ex-
plain what he was doing IN the neighbour
hood, he said he had tie revolver in side
coat-pocket OH a handkerchief, and that
when he attempted to draw the hanGkeT-
chief out the revolver fell 10 the sidewalk
and was discharged.
The story did not satisfy the police, and
Mcneil was accordingly taken to the North
End police station, where he was locked up
on charges of assault to murder and carry
ing concealed weapon

box factory at Fourth and Kentucky streets,
and his wife profess the most profound ig-
nOTance as TO the cause. Merrllion says
that Mcneil had been engaged in painting
his house for month, and had finished the
JOB few days prior to his arrest.
In regard to the charges preferred by
Mrs. Merrilli0n, it is alleged that he drew a
revolver on her and threatened to perf0rate
her with bullets. For what reason Mcneil
made the assault is not known. In regard
to the charge Of battery on the domestic, it
is alleged he threw dippeT of boiling water
over her. Mrs. Merrllion also states that
Mcneil has been logging her footsteps
about town, and has caused her great an
nOyance.

RECTIFIED SPIRITS.
The Gauging- Out System to BE Abolished

The Gauging- Out System to BE Abolished
Shortly.
Charles W. Eldridge, the United States
Internal Revenue agent is taking much in
terest in the recommendations made by the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue, John
w. Mason, TO Congress to abolish the gaug-
ing-out system now employed by the Gov
eminent in rectifying houses.
The law as it stands requires rectified
spirits to be gagged three times. First in
the distillery, second when they are received
by the rectiers and third when they are
put in packages.
The latter process, according to Mr.. Ma
son. Is unnecessary rs a protection against
fraud, and according TO HE idea the recti-
fers ought to be allowed to receive what
ever stamps they need from the Int rnal
Revenue Office and put them on their pack
ages.
If this new system becomes law about
100 gaugers now employed will find that
their services are no longer needed, and the
Government will save about 100000 annu-
ally.
