WILL GO AFTER pAvIpsoNs BONES.

The bones of murderer Curt Davidson will
not be allowed to rest peacefully in the Plain
township swamp. DIR. Pyle says he wants
them back again aud proposes to get them if
possible. He intended to go out today and try
and collect them together but was unable to
get away from his office and did not find
anyone he thought equal to the task. He
stated to News man, however, that he in
tended having the bones returned.
When he gets out there he will probably
have difficulty in finding all of them, for the
coroner and the other Investigators were not
at all careful as to whether they were all placed
back in the barrel. But if found, DR.. Pyle
proposes to clean them up and set the bones
together.

this entry from his pen: "She sails well
and is a good sea-boat. She has logged 10

In 1916 she was sent out to the Pacific as
flagship of Commodore Shubrick. After
three years service in these waters, during
which time she participated in the capture
of Guaymas and Mazatlan, she was re-
turned to the Atlantic, and for several
years was the flagship of the United States
squadron in the Mediterranean. Return
ing from that station, she was again sent
round the Horn. After lying in the
stream here for several years she was dis
mantled to the lower masts and her spar
deck rooted oyer. She lay at the foot of
Third street for some time as guardship
and was finally towed to Mare Island.
Moored alongside of the navy-yard, this
noble ship, her timbers yet sound as when
she first slipped from the ways, lies the old
Independence. Her guns will never again
ring in combat over the deep; the history
makers of the American navy-men of the
Constitution, the Constellation and the
United States-have walked her decks, and
her name is associated with their glory.

The Life-Saving Crew Finds Only the
Fragments of the Boat Among
the Breakers.

Yesterday morning about 8 o'clock
crab-boat capsized in a sudden squall off
Point Lobos and the occupant Angelo
Metroso, after clinging for several hor-s to
the overturned craft, was drowned.
Carlo Marsilin, another crab-catcher,
who saw the accident, states that he was
about 200 yards away when the other
mans boat went over.
He tried to work his own skiff up to the
rescue of Metroso, but the tide was run
ming too swiftly and both boats were
swept along without decreasing the dis
tance between them.
Finding that he could not save the i'm
periled man he with difficulty made his
way in to Bakers Beach and notified the
life-s saving crew, which Immediately
started for the rescue. The crew found
fragments of the boat drifting in the high
breakers that were beating among the
rocks, but the luckless fisherman had dis
appeared.
Metroso was native of Italy and was
about Al years of age.

CHANGES FOR THE BETTER.
City Real Estate Agents Look for a
Boom if the Nicaragua Canal
Bill Passes.
What the Present Year Will Develop Is
Very Interesting Question
With Them.

After confidence is restored fully in San
Francisco through the influence of the
valley railroad on business and securities,
should the Nicaragua bill now before Con-
gress be passed it would cause such a feel
ing that boom in city and country real
estate is predicted by experts. A great
deal of property would in that case be
purchased to take advantage of future in
crease in value.
Such is the opinion which appears to
prevail among real estate agents in this
city. Every agent here views the situa-
ton hopefully, and those who see far
ahead look for great changes for the better
under new conditions which are forming
from week to week.
The usual amount of realty business
transacted in this city is from $14, ,000,0 900 to
SIS, 100000 year. 1t has not been far from
that sum in the last few years but five
years ago as much as $4,000, 600 changed
hands in real estate dealings The chances
are that in twelve months from now, with
present prospects as basis for judgment,
agents believe, the volume OF business
will be fully as large, if, indeed, not larger.
Within the last five years new class OF
buildings has marked the city's growth,
and also popular conviction that older
structures are not worthy of San Francisco.
This applies to business and residences.
Rare and beautiful and costly woods,
marbles and bricks, artistic iron and other
metal work, electricity and latest inven-
tions, ETC., have taken the place of plain
materials and beautifed the town. Steel
railways have been constructed or ex-
tended rapidly, as if the builders were
weaving nets of steel; in all directions
streets were opened and new and better
pavements laid The general wealth of
the city has been enlarged considerably,
and all these things have happened while
there was feeling of depression through
out the United States. With prosperous
times that seem close at hand the improve
ment in comparison ought to be extraordi-
nary.
The residence of the late Isaac Wormser,
q handsome mansion on fifty-vara lot on
the north side of California street, 137 IS
feet west of Franklin, was sold yesterday
by Shainwald, Buckbee e. Co. for $55, 600
The buyer is John C. Coleman. About a
year ago the same price was offered for this
property The offer was then refused, as
the executors thought they could get more
at that time.
Plans have been finished for a four-story
building at the southwest corner of Polk
and Sutter streets. The lot faces 68 @ feet
on Sutter street, 126 feet on Polk and 68:9
feet on Walnut avenue. 1t cost $50, 900. In
the building there will be five stores, a
basement, and the second, third and fourth
floors will be occupied as an apartment
house, suited particularly for doctors
offices and residences. The cost will be
$75, 900.

is the old bower anchor of the United
States razee frigate Independence, at pres
ent moored off Mare Island Navy-yard,
and used as naval receiving ship.
This ancient, rusty relic of a past age
recalls the history of the vessel it has held
at safe anchorage in so many harbors on
the globe. The first time the name indie
pendence appeared in our naval records
was when it was borne by a sloop that be-
longed to the colonial navy. This vessel
was destroyed in the Delaware in iii, to
prevent her capture by the British. The
present independence was the first OF the
7+gun line of battle-ships built for service
against the fleets of Great Britain, in the
second war with that country. She was
launched at Boston in 1914, and in January
of the following year sailed on her maiden
cruise for the Mediterranean Sea, bearing
the flag OF Commodore Bainbridge. The
Independence sailed in company with the
frigates United States and Congress, the
sloop-of-war Erie, the brigs Boxer,
Clifferna, Firefiy and Saranac, and several
smaller craft. At Gibraltar was found the
squadron of Commodore Decatur, consist
ing of the frigates Guerriere, Macedonian
and Constellation, and several ships Of
war, brigs and schooners.
This was the most formidable feet ever
gathered in foreign water by our Govern
ment, and coming so soon after the close
of hostilities with England was a subject
of considerable chagrin to British officers.
The latter had circulated the report that
the Americans were not allowed to build
ships-of-the-line, and the lordly proper
tions of the Independence was sufficient
contradiction. War had been declared
against Algeria, and the Independence
took part with the other vessels of our
navy in blockading the ports of that Bar
barry power and bringing the naughty Bey

THE MAYOR WILL FIGHT.
He Will Continue the Battle Against
the Reilly Funding Bill Until
It Is Dead.
Hopeful That Congress Will Not Reverse
the Stand 1t Has Taken in
the Matter.

Mayor Sutro will make another assault
on the Reilly funding bill in case it is re-
ported back to Congress from the Com
mittee on Pacific Railroads. The Mayor,
however, is hopeful that Congress, which
has only two weeks more to live, will ad.
iourn before the measure can be taken up
again. In the meantime there is much
other important business for the House to
deal with. and it is thought that in this
way the two weeks may pass away without
the friends of the bill being able to get it
up for debate.
~ am going to continue the fight on the
old lines" said Mayor Sutro yesterday,
"and will make it exceedingly interesting
for Mr.. Huntington and his corps of lob
byists.
1.-THE railroad people are on the anxious
seat They have every reason to be
alarmed, for the estates of Huntington,
Crocker ct al. are liable for the debt to the
Government, should Congress fail to give
them an extension of time, and will prob
ably be sued when the bonds become due
and are not paid.
''The railroad is not the least dismayed
by its defeat of two weeks ago, but on the
other hand is more determined than ever.
Congress cannot afford however. to reverse
its position in this matter. We will fight
the bill until it is dead beyond resurrec-

port which its members will make to the
general committee will very likely also
contain statistical information bearing
upon the products and shipments OF the
Santa Clara Valley in the way OF fruits,
wine, etc.
j. II. Henry, president of the San Jose
and Santa Clara Railroad, who was one. OF
the committee, gave some addltlonal par
ticulars as to what it was hoped would he
accomplished He said: "We came up
here representing the Board OF Irade OF
San Jose to see If we could induce your
committee to incorporate in their plans a
branch road down through the Santa Clara
Valley, and, if so, on what terms. They
tell US that as yet they have not got
affairs in such condition as to be able to
consider the matter at all, but Will be glad
to hear from us as soon as they have per-
fected their organization, and they have
asked us to be prepared to let them know
what we want and what we can offer.
''We are going back and shall secure
rights of way and depot facilities and OBJ
tain subscriptions to stock conditional
upon line being built down our way.
we expect to gather statistics as to the
amount of freight and other business a
road could get and as to the feasibility OF
the different roads. You may rest assured
that we are going to have branch OF this
road through San Jose. We are not lighting
against any of the other routes. All we want
is branch line down through San Mateo,
Santa Clara and San Benito counties and
overthe mountains through either Plnoche
or Pacheco Pass to form junction with
the other road down from Stockton at
Fresno. All the people of San Jose are a
unit on this proposition and are going to
leave no stone unturned to accomplish
their object. We expect to do this without
antagonizing or jeopardizing the other
route in any way"
After the committee from San Jose de-
parted the subcommittee having under
consideration the form of incorporation
met and discussed the provisions of that
document, but have not yet reached def
mite conclusion as to the exact nature of
the report which will be made to the gen.
eral committee.
