A SToRAGE-BATTERY LINE.
1t VIII Be Built Between MayfieId
and Palo Alto.

The work of building an electric railroad
from Mayfeld TO the Stanford University

age-battery system is to be applied on this
line. The owners of the franchise are

months and be completed within twelve
months from the date of the charter.
The route is from the Southern Pacific
depot at MAY field up Lincoln street TO Yale
street IN College Terrace, thence through
PalO Alto avenue to Bowdon street, thence
TO May f i'd thOroughfare to a punt oppo-
site TO the quadrangle Of the classrOOms.
This is as near as Senator Stanford will
permit any company to approach the uni
verSlty. de has announced his purpose to
lay track from the quadrangle to the
Mayheld thorcughfare, a distance of about
quarter Of a mile. The company will be
permitted to run their cars over this track
10 the quadrangle.
The new electric road is built for the ac-
eommodation of those students who reside
in Mayheld and College Terrace and those
who desire to reach The former point TO take
the cars either for San Jose OF San Fran
cisco. The company is at the present time
maintaining a bus line between the uni
YeTslly and the Mayfield pot.

TEACHES LADIES TO SWIM.
But They Kept the HapIess Professor
in Hot Water.


Professor Huntington, the swimmin g
teacher of the Olympic Club, has lust
emerged from warm bath.
In other words, he was in hot water for a
few weeks past owing 10 several gentle
kicks that had been made by some Of the
young ladies, who desired his entire aud
undivided attention while teaching the
young idea how to paddle and flop.
Il think it was real mean of the pro-
fessoT," sobbed a very pretty miss as she
unf0lGed tale of sorrow to director of
the club few days ago. He sighted me
altogether because there were other girls,
you know, whom he considered better look
ing, | guess, and | don't think that good
looks should be taken into consideration by

Ever since huntington commenced to
teach the fair ones the art of sw inning a the
Olympic Club he has had no end OF trouble

quenty heard simultaneously shouting,
professor! professor! please come this
way; 1t IS my turn next" etc. Huntington
was here, there and everywhere. stiH his
effurts to please the entire flock of martens
were unavailing.
Those VITO could swim little needed con-
slant watching, as they insisted on trying
to emulate the boys by reck essy pluuging
off the springbOards iu!o the deep blue
water, and as pIeCaUtlOn against any pos
sible accident the professor had o keep an
eye constantly open for the deep-s inning
anatOmles.
You may consider that teaching young
ladies how TO swim is 4 pleasant task" re-
marked the prof ssor yesterday, but | can
assure you that / would rather teach class
Of 100 BOYS than act as instructor OF half a
dozen girls. do my utmost to please all of
them. but find that universal satisfaction
is a matter of imposSbilty."
With a class Of fifty girls to look after it
is no wonder Lat Mr.. Huntington has a
grievance. 1t would simply be impossible
for one man to satisfy the wishes of all,
and especially those who are learning the
natatorial art.
1t has been suggested that Professor
Huntington be allowed an assistant. There
are number OF frst-cass swimmers among
the members who take to the water " h0
would only be too happy to assist Pro lessor
Huntington to teach the young lad es how
to swim pro eTly.

The heaviest trial the crowd had to
undergo was when they were all taken
dOwn stairs and ordered to strip for bath.
Not a single soul of them had had water
all over him since they had been sent TO the
House OF Correction the last time.
They appreciated the fact that the joke of
having to take a bath was on them. and
many were the ocular remarks they passed
while the cleansing process was going on.

from that of their fellOw-prisoners who
have been sentenced to time in the House of
Correction.
Early yesterday morning Sheriff McDade
and Deputy County Clerk Nealv Murphy
put in an appearance in the House OF Cor
rection, and swore ID all the officers and
guards twenty-five in alp as deputy sheIiffS.
AS far as the officers are concerned this is
all right, but the guards are peculiarly
affected by this process of transformation
A deputy sherifl's pay is Sl25 month,

made deputy sherffS, consider that they
certainly shonld also be given deputy
sherlfS' pay, but the Sheriff himself does
not look upon il that way.
He winked his other eye yesterday while
talking about this subject ana said that the
swearing in OF the guards was only
necessary fnrmalitv. because prisoners sent
by Police Judges to the County Jail are
committed to the care of the Sheriff, and it
therefore becomes necessary that the men
who have charge OF them be attached to his
Office.
81 have nothiI to do with their salaries"
hr. McDade said. "They are employees of
the Board Of Supervisors and that body
regulates their pay"
MIR. McDade also stated that it was his
intention TO make the Broadway jill simply
place Of detention for people awaiting
trial or decisions of courts, aud that lie
hoped to keep the number OF prisoners con-
fined in that ancient ruin down to Il very
low figure.
Under-Sheriff Mcguire will have charge
of the prison department of the Sherff's
office in the future, and he expects to be
able to Institute several new reform move
ments soon,
As far as the legality of the transfer of
prisoners Is concerned, Sheriff McDade
said: You see, | have only sent short
timers, and | shall not take any chances
with any big criminals until the constitu-
ti0nality of the new law is settled beyond
any question of doubt.
I'll any Of the fellows l have transferred
are inclined to kick, l shall simply send
them back to the Broadway jail, ana then
they will have no further cause for COM
plant"
The Sheriff. however, does not expect any
legal controversies to arise from the change
of domicile he has ordered for some of his
charges

noisome jail on Broadway and welcomed
the change to more healthy quarters with
joy.
Corridors 1 and 2 were assigned to the
newcomers, and they were all clothed in
the usual black and white striped prison
garb; they were assigned to their cells,
which latter were neat, clean and rOomy
enough for the two prisoners that were
checked off for each one of them.

the number of prisoners in the House of

there being still lots of vacant room for
them there.
The number of prisoners in the County
Jail yesterday morning was 20S, leaving 179
after the dispatch of the transfers.
When to-day's selections are sent to the
new branch, only about $50 people will re-
main confined in the old County Jail. and
every one of them will be either awaiting
trial or the result of a uial.
Hereafter all long terms will have to be
served in the State Prison.
Sentences to the House OF Correction will
no longer be passed and all the criminals of
petty nature, who come under the juris-
diciion of the Police Judges will become
County Jail prisoners out in the new branch

DEATH OF DR.. BERTODY.
The End of One of Caiifornia's Oldest
PHYSICIANS

DIR. Charles Bertody, well-knOwn pioneer
physician, died yesterday at his residence.
26 Pleasant street, OF nlammatory govt,
from which he had been suffering for many
years. Four months ago be was forced to
take to his bed and from there he never
rose.
DR.. Bertody was born in Boston in 1926 OF
English parents. After receivii a Limited
education he Joined the United States navy
and served under Farragut. On receiving
his discharge IN 1913 he went to France for
the purpose of studying medicine. Wren
The fearful cholera plague of 1919 invaded
Paris he served in various hospitals until
the end, when he returned to America and
one year later crossed the plains, arriving
in California in the spring of 1851.
On reaching this city the deceased at once
began praciIcing medicine, and as he
proved himself to be a doctor OF no mean
ability he had a great number of patients,
and continued his successful and extensive
practice until his illness forced him 10 re-
tire. The deceased was aged IS years and

ure of being an occupant Of a vacant seat in
the ''b ack maria" which conveyed the first
batch from the old destination to the new

1t was not an altogether pleasant ride
and people who are used to view the
beauties of the Golden Gate Park while
travelling behind a spanking pair of bays in
pleasant company would perhaps have
found no ENJOYMENT in it.
But it was lots of fun to the CALL man.
The experiment, however proved 4 dismal
failure, because in the language OF the
people the fellows in the carriage were
dead on" to the fact that some one not be-
longing to their kind of society was present
and they regulated their conversation ac-
cordingly.
