A MORGUE MYSTERY SOLVED.
3. Bernard of Sacramento Was the I'm
known Suicide.

A Morgue mystery was solved yesterday.
On October % last the body of man was
found hanging in Golden Gate Park. No
one could identity the remains, so they
were photographed and buried. Yester-
day Mrs. B. Bernard of Sacramento, J. s.
English, her son-in-law, and her daughter
called at the Morgue and identified the
photograph as that of the husband and
father.
He was great gambler, and when he
left home to collect debt of 5000 his wife
told him not to return home unless he
have lost the money at poker, as only a
nickel was found in his pocket. When the
thousands were gone remorse seized him,
and he committed suicide. The family
has spent several hundred dollars in
searching for him, but only thought of
visiting the Morgue yesterday.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-Dr. Rocker, sec
retary to Mgr. Satolli, was interviewed
yesterday on the latest reports concerning
Mgr. Satoll's elevation To cardibalate
and that no would be recalled TO Rome
DIR. Rocker said: "It Is perfectly plain
that II Mgr. Satolli Is created cardinal
and recalled TO Rome he would no longer
bo the papal delegate to the American
church. So far as this legation is con-
cerned, no intimation whatever has been
received here of the intention TO create
Mgr. Satolli a cardinal.
"Supposing Mgr. Satolli Is created a
cardinal at the next consistory--and when
IL will take place mono can tell - he
plainly could not get 10 Rome In time TO
present himself before IL and receive his
hat. Therefore special messenger would
be sent To this country with the beretta.
When the berctta would be conferred
on him, he would not yet bc equipped
with all the privileges Of cardinal.
These would only be conferred upon him
when he received the hat, and this would
rot be given him until the next consstory
following the one at which he was created,
because the hat must be conf.Sred upon
each cardinal in person at oons,story.
1T would be seen, therefore, that II
Mgr. Satolli should be created a cardinal
at the next consstory he would not enter
upon the full privileges until he received
the hat at the following consistory. or
course, II he was recalled to Rome, he
would relinquish all authority in connec-
tion with the American church"

THE DoWLING-MoRToN INQUEST.

THE CALL this morning publishes a state
ment of facts concerning the bowling
Morton inquest, which took place at Col
fax, in this State, several months ago
under the direction of Coroner Berry
Mitchell. In telegram published in THE
CALL on June q an incorrect account of
the inquest was given, the article reflect
ing uniustly on Mr.. Mitchell and by the
publication of to-day's article he is set
right before the people of the State and is
thereby accorded all the reparation that
one gentleman can give to another
We are able to state that this ending of
the controversy ensuing from the publica-
ton Of this article is satisfactory to Mr..
Mitchell.
THE CALL does not begrudge this ex-
PLANTATION to the gentleman who was in
jured, but gives him q full, generous
measure in this regard. The editor of this
paper will not knowingly or willingly mis-
represent any person, and if a mistake has
been made by any of the correspondents
or reporters connected with this journal
will cheerfully correct the same. This
course is laid down by The CALL as the
only course that may be consistently fol-
lowed by frank and honest newspaper.
In public affairs as in private affairs the
man who has been misrepreseDted is en-
titled to have the truth made known in
order that his good name and his standing
among his fellow-citizens may be restored
to him. This measure Of justice THE CALL
stands ready invariably to bestow.

of the riparian owner had to be strictly
guarded, because corn had to be ground
and lumber sawed.
The common-law principle is rendered
all the more archaic by reason of the fact
that steam has largely superseded water
power in the running of machinery; or
rather, since the introduction of steam
and other forms of power the preservation
of the rivers to grinders OF corn is no
longer necessity even in those countries
which still employ water-power. Much
less is it necessity in the arid regions of
the West, where water-power for running
machinery is rare, and where when so used
it is generally in the mountains, where irri-
cation is not required.
From every conceivable point Of view,
except that of the common-law precedent
of England, sole consideration of the ripa-
rian interest in America is illogical, abb
surd, ruinous and inapplicable. Yet every
such decision as that from Judge Ross and
the Supreme Court of Nebraska will
hasten the making of laws to meet our ne
cessities. If this cannot be done it is as
well that we begin to consider the advisa-
bility of going out of the business of pre-
tending to know how to conduct our own
/ affairs

NEEDLESS WORRY.

There seems to be no good reason for
worrying over the reported attempts of the
Southern Pacific to separate the Atlantic
and Pacific road from the Santa Fe sys-
TEN, with the supposed purpose of pre-
venting the San Francisco and San Joaquin
Railroad from making overland transpor,
tation arrangements with the Santa Fee.
The only value which such work on Mr..
Huntington's part could have would be as
an acknowledgment of his fear that the
San Joaquin road will in all probability
prove a dangerous competitor. As that,
however. is fact already we'll known Mr.
Huntington's confirmation of it could have
no practical value.
There are no indications that the San
Joaquin Valley road projectors have an
overland line IN contemplation. Their
great purpose now is 10 build up the State
by creating competition in transportation
between the San Joaquin Valley and tide
water. That in itself is the grandest stroke
of enterprise ever made by the people of the
State, and it is sufficient for the present
What the future operations of the comp any
may be will probably depend on many cir
cumstances, and as a considerable time
must elapse before the road could be pushed
below Tehachapi, even should there be
any intention of doing SO, many things
may happen to smooth the way to the
East, should that finally be decided on.
The present duty of the people is TO lend
all possible encouragement and assistance
to the new road and further its evident
aims to meet an urgent necessity. The
difficulties under which the Southern
Pacific is now laboring are solely those of
its own creation in the pursuit of policy
of picking all the fruit when only small
part of it was ripe. 1t has loaded itself
with burdens which it has been compelled
to shift upon the people and industries of
the State. As a large part of these bur-
dens would be cast off by the people in the
building of a railroad through the San
Joaquin, the power of the Southern Pacific
to levy tribute would be greatly reduced,
and it must seek elsewhere to recoup its
losses.

BUILDING OF TALL STRUCTURES,

a member of the Board of Supervisors is
credited with having made the remark that
the building of sky-scrapers ought not to be
permitted in San Francisco; that the presence
OF these towering buildings injured the value
OF adjoining property in the matter of rents,
and that he hoped the Spreckels building, now
under contract, with its fifteen stories and a
dome, would be the last of its kind. In other
words, because the adjoining building on Mar
ket street is only one-story structure, Mr..
Spreckels should be confined to the building of
a one-story. This is the policy that has ami
mated silurians and retarded the growth and
beauty OF the City, but it will do so no longer.
There is no power that can prevent man
from building Tower of Babel on his grounds
ii he wants to, ana the future beauty and
grandeur of San Francisco will be in a display
of rivalry in architectural art. When Mr..
Hearst makes up his mind to build he will re-
ceive the plaudits of all good citizens by en-
bellishing his twenty-story structure with q
grand tower, as he has intimated that he will
do. With all due Difference to the business
judgment of the gentleman who expressed this
sentiment the value OF the more modest struc-
lures and the property they invest is not in
jured by the presence of majestic structures.
but increased, just to the extent that property
in large city is more valuable than that in q
smaller one.-San Francisco News Letter.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-09-20
HIGH BUILDINGS.

The argument against tall buildings made by
Chief Sullivan is absurd. The erection of such
an edifce as that which will shortly arise on
the corner of Third and Market streets may be
detriment to the disgraceful shanties which
will flank it on either side, but even that is
doubtful. Indeed, it is more than probable
that the shanties by their proximity will in
Jure the tai building. Let any one honestly
ask himself the question whether the Mills
building has not benefited the rookeries in
the neighborhood, and follow it up with
the inquiry, how much better off would the
owner OF the Mills building be If Montgomery
street was lined with stately structures instead
OF relics of 1849? And the absurdity of
Suilivans argument Will be at once manifest
TO him. Regarding the utterly purelle assump-
uon that the concentration of people in lin
lted space is undesirable, it is only necessary
10 say that the theory of modern business is
rapid intercourse, and that is best accom-
pilshed by promoting propinqu!ty. With this
OBJECT exchanges have been created, where
business men keep in touch, and for precisely
the same reason business men prefer to see
large office buildings multiplied, that the wear
ana tear OF life may be minimized by saving
footsteps, etc.-San Francisco Chronicle.

REPUBLISHING MPLIMENTARY
NOTICES.

Several esteemed contemporaries are discuss
ing the practice of newspapers republishing
complimentary notices concerning feats of en-
terprise on their part, and have agreed that
such practice is very bad taste and should be
discontinued. Remarkably enough however,
an intimate acquaintance with the press OF the
State dscloses that the papers which are re-
sponsible for this remarkable self-abnegation
seldom, if ever, are in receipt of any compli-
ments which could be copied even were they SO
disposed. This fact, therefore, gives the move
ment a sort of sour-grape flavor, which causes
it to lose what little strength it might other
wise have had. There is perfectly justifable
motive in the republication OF the notices
under discussion, and that motive is to let the
readers of paper know the estimation in
which it is held abroad. 1t is a fact that the
better local paper is the more it arouses the
envy of its immediate competitors and draws
their attacks. Misrepresentation and falsifica-
tion are showered upon it, until portion of
the unsuspecting public are led to believe
that there is some truth in these attacks. 1t is
eminently proper, then, to counteract such
cowardly attacks by refrainlng from payment
in kind, but by simply republishing such state
ments as tend to show the estimation in which
the paper is held elsewhere by contemporaries
which are not actuated by feelings of jealousy
and spite.-Bakersfieid Californian.

NEBRASKA HEARD FROM.

The Supreme Court of Nebraska has fol-
lowed Judge Ross course in California: it
has decided that the irrigation laws of that
State are unconstitutional. AS a conse-
quence the people of Nebraska are dis
mayed, and large irrigation scheme
which was in process of formation and
which would have added millions to the
property of the State will be abandoned
This will tend to strengthen the opinion of
those who think that the Supreme Court
of the United States in all probability will
uphold Judge Ross decision.
The text of the Nebraska decision has
not reached us. but it is safe presump-
ton that it was founded on the comm on
law of England, as have been the decis-
ions in this State adverse to the principle
of irrigation. 1t is the old question of
riparian preference. The streams of Eng
land and the Eastern States of America
were never needed for irrigation, bur solely
for turning mill wheels; hence the rights
