TWO BURGLARIEs.
Citizens Houses Are Not Safe, Even
In Broad Daylight.


The residence of w H. Govan, at 1412
Eighth street. was burglarized in broad
daylight yesterday afternoon about 5
o'clock
One of the neighbors observed a man
go around to the back door and then
come around to the front door and ring
the bell, but paid no further attention
to him. When Mr. Govan arrived home
he found that the fellow had pried the
front window open with d jimmy and
stolen about 5000 worth of jewelry and
other stuff, including a handsome vel
vet cloak. The neighbor who saw the
fellow could give no description of him.
The residence of Frank Meckfessel,
at Thirteenth and NJ streets, was en-
tered last evening by a burglar, the
family being out of the city. The woman
in charge of the house returned from
being out with an escort and heard the
burglar in the house. Her escort pro-
cured a pistol, but the fellow got away
before the patrol wagon arrived. Only
one room was entered, and it is not
known whether or not anything was
taken.

NOTE AND COMMENT.

Loose rock and coarse gravel are be-
ing dumped into ruts on our streets on
the lines of the electric railways just
now The result is bad for the streets.
The loose stone is soon scattered and
makes the street bad for horses and
wheels. The right way to do is to make
chuck hole repairs by loosening the soil.
pudding with water, then placing the
stone and earth and tamping the
whole into a hard, compact body. In
that way the repair becomes perma.
nent, and the stone is not wasted. But
then. there appears to be nobody in
charge of the streets with knowledge
enough of road-making to save money
and make decent roadways.
St. Louis has a local law making it a
Ilisdemeanor to throw peelings, paper,
waste and rubbish on any street The
block patrol system has been adopted

broom is given charge of one or more

hours a day. and Immediately remove

AN ASSAULT UPON CALIFORNIA
INTERESTS.

The evidences are being more and
more made clear that behind the sensa-
tionalism and apparent insanity of the
anti-funding press of San Francisco
there are influences at work inimical to
California interests. Clearly there is
operating behind these agencies powers
that are endeayoring to wrest the
transcontinental roads from ownership
that makes them Californian, and turn
them over to Eastern magnates in
finance and management, who will use
the roads in Eastern interest and
against the best interests of California.
It is a desperate game to wrench the
lines away from an ownership and con-
troll that stands for California against
Eastern grasping and place them under
control unfriendly to California, which
will thus dominate our commerce and
make it secondary to Eastern points
and Eastern commercial kings. No
greater calamity could befall Cali
fornia than this
The shift now made from the demand
for Government ownership of the trans,
continental roads to the proposition to
sell the roads to some new organization,
which is to issue new bonds for the in.
debtedness, and which the Government
is to guarantee, taking new mortgage
as security, means simply a change of
control and not the payment of the Gov
ernment's due. Californians who are
familiar with commercial history on
this coast, and Eastern attempts to
dominate it, need no suggestion as to
what such an arrangement would mean.
The San Francisco press that is
whooping up foreclosure is really pro-
noting a scheme to reduce that city to
mere appendage to Eastern CONNER
cial greed and ambition to dominate
throughout the United States. 1t is so
clear that this is the game now being
W orked that it is surprising San Fran
cisco interests have not awakened in
alarm to the peril it means
