Gen. Boynton says that the percen-
tage of casualties at Chicamaugua ex-
ceeded that of Napoleon's most noted
battles, as we'll as of later great European
battles. The Third Westphalian Regi-
ment became famous by reason of losing
40 per cent. of it's strength in battle dur
ing the Fronco Prussin war; but al
Chicamauga there were more than
twenty regiments that sustained great
er loss than this.

1t is no discredit to the Republican
party of New York that its out and out
declaration against the desecration of the
Sabbath has brought it the generous
support of the clergy of that State.
When the issue is between good morals
and the spOils at Office, the clergy can be
found on the right side.

BONDING THE CITY.
Merchants Association Looking Into
the Subject Of Raising Money for
Public improvements.

At meeting of the Merchants Associa-
ton yesterday the street-paving question
came up. The association has been in
terested in securing the improvement of
certain parts of Geary, Montgomery and
Post streets, and has been trying to obtain
the signatures of property-owners to a
petition for the bituminizing of Geary
street, between Kearny and Powell. A
great deal of difficulty has been encoun-
tered in the work. While some of the
owners are anxious to have the improve
ment made others appear totally indiffer-
ent to the fate of the streets and stand out
against anything that hints at an outlay of
money. The association has almost
reached the conclusion that it will be i'm
possible to successfully carry on the work
if these obstacles on the part of certain
owners are to be continually met.
The secretary, j. Richard Freud, pre-
scented an opinion as to the City's power to
incur bonded Indebtedness for permanent
public improvements. Mr.. Freud sum-
married. his opinion and said the follow
ing points were clearly established:
The City of San Francisco can legally issue
municipal bonds under existing laws for per-
manent public Improvements.
Two-thirds of the Board of Supervisors, with
the approval of the Mayor, may call special
election for that purpose.
Two-thirds of the voters at that special cleo
ton may decide that the bonds shall be issued.
Before submitting the question to a vote plans
and estimates of the work must be made by a
competent engineer. The call for the election
must state the object of the indebtedness, the
cost of the work, the character of the bonds,
the rate of interest and the amount of tax-levy
for the payment thereof The limit of indebt-
edness is 10 per cent of the assessed value of
all real and personal property; the limit of the
duration of the bonds is forty years, and the
limit of the rate of interest is per cent. Pro-
vision must be made for the payment of these
bonds with interest, so that the annual interest
and fortieth of the principal shall be paid
each year for forty years..
The association determined to begin a
movement for the removal of the numer-
Gus signs that crowd the streets and side
walks, or at least to make the sign-owners
conform more strictly to the observance OF

OPIUM SMOKED In COURT.
The Test Made to Determine Whether
the Drug Was of Foreign or
Domestic Manufacture

T. MCGOWAN was held to answer before
the United States Grand Jury by Commits
sioner Heacock yesterday. He was &C.
cused of attempting to smuggle 800 cans of
opium into San Francisco via Benicia.
The drug was manufactured in Victoria,
B. c., and by circuitous route finally
reached Benicia. There MCGOWAN re-
ceiyed it and shipped the two cases in
which it was packed to San Francisco.
The defense did not ask any questions,
and allowed everything to go in unchal-
Ienged until Moy jim Nun was called as an
expert. 1t remained for him to say
whether the drug was of foreign or domes-
tic manufacture. If it was the latter, no
charge of smuggling could be made. When
asked to test the stuff and give his opinion
Nov seized two of the cans and started to
leave the room. McGowan's attorney
stopped him, and insisted that the test be
made in the courtroom, The Chinese
procured his '1ayout," and prepared to
sample the drug.
Nov very carefully opened one of the
fiye-tael tins and lit his nut-oil lamp. He
cooked a small portion of the opium until
it was crisp, then burnt it and inhaled the
smoke. He cooked another portion and
smoked it, and announced with confidence
that the consignment was Victoria opium.
Victoria opium, according to the Chinese,
is good, but the Hongkong product is
better and the domestic is poor.

Provision Made for Arizona'S
Deaf and Dumb and Blind
Children.
TERRITORIAL ASYLUM.
Superintendent Netherton Con-
cludes Negotiations With MIR.
Wilkinson.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALI
909 Broadway, August Is.

An arrangement was concluded this af-
ternoon by which the State Institution for
the Deaf and Dumb and Blind at Berkeley
will hereafter receive eligible inmates from
the Territory Of Arizona.
AT the opening of the Territorial Legis-
lature an act was passed authorizing the
Department of Education to send dele
gate to CALIFORNIA; institution for the pur-
pose ofarranging terms by which Arizona's
deaf and dumb and blind children could
be cared for at Berkeley. f. Netherton,
Territorial Superintendent of Schools, was
delegated to carry out the provisions of
the act, and he concluded his negotiations
with Superintendent Wilkinson, of the
Temescal institution, to-day.
Arizona is particularly free from deaf and
dumb and blind children" said Mr.. Meth
erton. up to last spring there were very
few applications for Territorial aid and at
the present time there is only one child
waiting for admission to the Berkeley
Home. There has been no need of Terri
torial institution, and yet We must make
provision for any one that applies to US for
aid. The matter was fully discussed by
the last Legislature and it was decided
that it would be absurd to build and equip
q home for which there is no use. have
discussed the subject with Superintendent
Wilkinson and we are agreed that for every
child Arizona sends to the Berkeley insti-
tuition $500 per annum shall be paid. This
amount includes everything but clothing.
Of course, it is probable that the knowl-
edge of there being no home for the deaf
and dumb has deferred several from max
ing application, and we may soon have
many young folks to send here. At present
we have only one. : =. -.
1.-The first child to come will be the son
of G.. w. Tjllman of Florence: The little
fellow will be here in two weeks, ready. for
the opening of the fall term. Previous TO
the act of last spring we sent our. few deaf
and dumb children to Colorado"
f. J. Netherton is a graduate of:the Oak.
land High School, and in company with
two others started that bright High School
monthly, the Egis. According to Mr..
Netherton there is vast difference between
the school system of Arizona and that of
Alameda County. "In Arizona the schools
are so far apart that it is a days. journey
to travel from one to another. We have
about II, 900 school children in the Terri
tory, and over 300 teachers with an average
salary of $74 month";"

ALL FOUND GUILTY.
More Details of Berry Hollands Muir
derous Plot.

More Details of Berry Hollands Muir
derous Plot.
The two Hollands and John Open
heimer were all found guilty this after
noon of burglary, and sentence will be
pronounced tomorrow.
The proceedings of this mornings session
tended to show more fully the desperate
nature of the plot, the full story of which
was published in this mornings CALL, and
the manner in which the letters written to
Berry II. Hollands wife got into the hands
of the jailer.
The first information that reached Jailer
White came few days ago through Frank
Miller, prisoner, who was a cellmate of
Holland. The jailer was warned that Hol-
land had plot on hand and had taken his
wife into his confidence. The first scheme
evolved was to have his wife inscribe the
date of the night when she would be ready
upon a shirt. For some reason this did
not go through. A little later Holland ar
ranged his plans as he. related them in the
letter published to-day. The letter was
given to Miller, who was to turn it over to
Holland S wife when he appeared in court
to have a new trial. =
The plot to break Jail and shoot any one
who stood in the way was. more general
than was supposed. Thomas Hickey, Sam
Reynolds and George Fisher were all. in
the plot, and they were to pass along the
line by which Mrs. Holland was to pass the
pistols in to her husband.
% The arguments on behalf of the prisoners
were closed before noon and the case was
given to the jury in the afternoon. After
an hours deliberation verdict of guilty
as charged was returned against all three
defendants. :. -,

as that given in Minneapolis last A pril it
will be representative affair. There Will
be samples of almost every material used
for street paving, and the best of it will be
that it is nearly all products of home in
dustrv. There will be brick, stone, wood,
asphalt bituminous rock and rubber. We
are trying to get several exhibits of a curl
GUS nature-more of a novel character
than of general use-but do not know
how successful the efforts will be.
at is surprising how many different
materials are used for paving and how
many costly experiments are made to get
something which has not yet been in COM
mon use. 1t is likely, however, that brick,
asphalt and bituminous rock will be the
favorites. Some people think great deal
of wood. and In many places 1t Is we'll
liked. What is wanted is pavement
which is durable, cleaneand noiseless.
IAN exhibit will be made of various
forms of streetcar-tracks, and the people
of San Francisco will be given some oppor-
tunity to see that there are forms of rails
which can be laid down in the streets and
form no obstruction whatever to vehicular
traffic. Six varieties of rails will be shown.
''What will be the use of this exhibit?
1t will show the people of San Francisco
and visitors from other cities Just what
progress has been made in making pleas
ant and comfortable their highways. 1t
will serve to show them that there are bet
ter pavements than basalt blocks and cob
bles. They can learn hat it is possible to
have street coverin., witch will be as
sanitary as floor, and that by obtaining
good lmpervlouS pavementS which yield
little detritus, it will be possible 20 keep
the streets of the city clean at small ex-
pense.
''Good pavements make d small death
rate, for much of the illness of cities comes
from poor pavements. They conduce
toward the formation of feeling of pride
in ones own place. They give strangers
good opinion of town. They attract pop
ulation and in every way benefit the people
who pay for them. The exhibit will be in
place this week, and it is believed that ad-
ditions will be made to 1t from time to

THROUGH BAKERSFIELD.
Valley Road Surveyors Have Run a
Line to the Southern Terminus.
Building Progress.

Chief Engineer Storey of the Valley
railway received a letter yesterday from
the surveying party at Bakersfield inform
ing BIN that preliminary line had been
surveyed through the city that is to be the
southern terminus of the road.
This survey completed the preliminary
lines via Hanford and Visalia to a juno
ton in Tulare County, and a single line
below that point into Bakersfield. The
Graham party also advised the chief en-
gineer that it was working on tie final
survey beyond the MERGED River.
Grant Bros, who secured the contract
for grading from Stockton to the Stanis-
laus River, about twenty-five to thirty
miles, stated yesterday that they would
begin work Monday next. They were
sending a camp outfit and all necessary
equipment to Stockton and expected to
have their camp established and every
thing in readiness to put a large force of
men at work Monday morning.
" In week or two track-laying will. begin
over the graded road from the water front
through Stockton, and by the time rails
are laid to the city limits there will be q
long stretch of road into the country ready
for the track gangs. A large number of
fat cars are built already, so that there
will be two trains in Stockton waiting to
be utilized in construction as soon as the
railroad builders will move outside the
city. The contractor who will construct
the trestles over the first division has the
greater part of the lumber cut according to
specifications and will begin to build
within two weeks.

FRED JEROME'S HERO|SM.
He Has Rescued Over 1000
Lives From a Watery
Grave.
THRILLING SEA EXPERIENCES.
His Bravery Saved Those on Board
the Ships Henry Clay and
Ocean Monarch.

There is an old pioneer living in this
City who has saved over 1000 lives from a
watery grave. He is Frederick Jerome,
residing at 1402 Polk street. His heroic
conduct brought him the plaudits of the
civilized world. The Queen of England,
Prince de Joinville of France, Common
Councils of large cities and various hu-
name societies sought to do him honor.
The deeds of Jerome, who at one time of
life was but humble sailor before the
mast, bristle with thrilling incidents. His
achievements were of such character
that they seemed impossible for a human
being to have accomplished. 1t was en-
.tirely through his efforts that the lives of
the crews and passengers OF the packet
ships Henry Clay and Ocean Monarch were
saved.
In the early part of 1916 Jerome was an
able-bodied seaman on board the Ameri-
can packet-ship Henry Clay, which was
bound to New York from Liverpool with
nearly 700 passengers on board. On March
25 the Henry Clay was caught in q terrific
gale off the American coast. The vessel

is claimed is worth thousands of dollars,
on the line OF the proposed extension,
from which the works were supplied with

OAKLAND OFFICE, SAN Francisco CALL,
COS Broadway, August Is.

OAKLAND OFFICE, SAN FRANCISCO CALI
908 Broadway, August 49,.
Some of the most remarkable canvassing
ever known in Alameda County is being
carried on at present. Several candidates
are in the field for the Office of Auditor
.Whidden, although there is as yet nothing
to prove that Mr.. Whidden will not hold
his office till the end of his term and then
succeed himself, as he did last November.
Auditor Whidden at present is called
upon to make an explanation as to s4s3
which he collected as taxes and which he
says he paid over to a deputy. There are
also some other charges regarding taxes on
the property of his family, which were re-
ceipted for last November, but for which
the money was only paid recently. But
even if the Grand Jury to be impaneied
next Monday shall return indictments
against the Auditor there is little proba-
bility of conviction, as the matter re-
solves itself into a>settlement between the
Tax Collector and Treasurer, and if the
Auditor has taken the money from the
Collector only personal suit will lie.
The anxiety shown by professional poll
ticlans to fill the Auditors shoes has
caused some lobbying around the court
house. The filling of any vacancy falls
upon the Supervisors. 1t is supposed that
these otfice-seekers are helping TO place the
blame on Whidden, and it is known that
influence is already being brought to bear
on the Supervisors in case the necessity
should arise of appointing an Auditor.
One OF the applicants for the Office belongs
to a family with whom office-seeking has
become chronic, and another has recently
come to live in Oakland from San Fran
cisco, so as to establish eligibility for Office.
The District Attorney has a lot of evil
dence to place before the Grand Jury, and
says he is confident that the blame will
ultimately be placed where it belongs.

VERY PooR RELIEF.
The Garbage Matter Still Dragging Its
=. Length Along. -:


a start was made to-day on the new plan
for loading garbage into cars and carrying
1T to some obscure place in Contra Costa
ECeunty. The scayengers hauled their
loads to the foot of Cypress street. and by
means of a derrick and coaltub the garb-
age was hoisted into the car. 1t is tedious
and unsatisfactory process. The derrick is
an Anticipated affair, and while a tub was
being hoisted this morning the machinery
broke, and the falling tub just missed
man, who ran from under it.
The number of men who went to the car
to dump loads and the weight of their
loads show that Health officer Mayon's
statement to the Council last Monday night
was incorrect. DR.. Mayor said there were
ffty-seven scaVengers and that there were
about thirty tons of garbage collected each
day in Oakland.
The scavengers make two or three trips
a day under ordinary circumstances and
carry about three-quarters of ton each
trip and they say that nearly hundred
tons is collected each day. There is much
waiting under the present system as all the
carts seem to arrive at once and it is con-
demned even as a temporary solution of
the garbage question. The Council is
meanwhile considering the advisability of
building crematory, which proposition
has been under consideration for three
wears.
