The arrest of a prominent citizen in
San Francisco for violation of the anti
splitting ordinance should remind us that
a similar ordinance has for some months
been in existence in this city, but no ar
rests have ever been made of its trans
gressors. The daily appearance of the
sidewalks unhappily does not in
dicate that there has been no oc-
casion for the police to exer-
else this duty. If an observant officer
were stationed at any corner of the main
thoroughfares he would be able to de-
tect half dozen sinners in flagrante
delictu within an hour.

A FALL

Down the polished stairs came Daphne
In her gown so satin white,
Eyes and gems and shoulders cleaning
Underneath the radiant light.
Waiting, watching in the hallway
l, enraptured by her charms,
Wondered if she'd fall--nay, hoped So
Fall into my willing arms.
How the tiny, high-heeled slippers
Gided o'er each treacherous rim:
How serenely she descended
While my wicked hopes grew dim.
Fall? Not she. But, as she fiuttered
Toward me like a gentle dove.
Retribution overlook me.
And l fell fell in love.

TopAY's BOND ELECTION

A snecial election will be held today on
the question of issuing $270,OOO refundlng
bonds at per cent interest, to take up
like amount of outstanding bonded in
debtedness drawing a higher rate. AS
the issuance of these bonds will save the
citv something over $500 month IN IN
terest, to say nothing of the extending OF
the payment over forty years, instead OF
having 10 meet the whole debt in ten, 1t
is expected that the bonds will carry
by practically unanimous vote.
In this connection, however. question
has arisen that should be settled. 1t IS
claimed by property owners in the an
nexed district that when they came into
the city it was on the tacit understand
ing that they would not have to bear any
of the indebtedness contracted prior to
annexation. If this is the case, the peo-
ple of the annexed district are naturally
concerned as to whether they will have
to pay their pro rata of these proposed
refunding bonds. If they do not, then
they hold that they should not be allowed
to vote. While the amount involved is
comparatively nominal. and the increase
in the rate of taxation would only be
fractional, at the very worst, still it Is
a question that should be settled before
any other elections come on.

"War Inevitable"

The hope that peace can be preserved
is dying fast. I'm diplomatic circles so
we are told, it is believed that Greece will
yield. But the worst of diplomatic cir
cles is that people that move round and
round within them tend to lose sight or
human nature and to calculate the ac-
tions of nations on a scientific basis.
That their conclusions are logically cor
rect we have no doubt, and it is possible
they have demonstrated to- each other
with the most faultless precision the
proposition that Greece must back down.
1t can be done in this way: % Greece
was calculating on the failure of the
European concert; (2) that calculation
has failed and the powers are nrm IN
union; (3) Greece cannot seriously con-
template resistance to the powers, thus
united; therefore (D Greece will listen
to reason. Here is quite tiawless
demonstration that there will be no
fighting, and that everything will end
happily.
But the Greek soldiers who are mus
tering on the Thessalian frontier are
not diplomats. They are very angry
men, desperately in earnest, with guns
in their hands and abundance of fight
ing material. Their hereditary enemies
are in front of them, and they have LETT

ton of battle and conquest, cheered py

sion that he (the American workingmah)
should not growl at that, as ne wouio
he provided with steady and remunera-
tive employment. In the first place the
Times is evidently at sea, as the tollow-
ing summary will show: The raw WOOL
imported by jobbers will have a profit
added to the additional investment i'm
nosed by the new duty. The woolen
mills will have to add their profits to the
additional sum invested in wool. Then
the jobbers will have to make profit.
also the wholesale houses, and lastly the
merchant tailors, who will have 10 pay
at least 25 per cent more for fabrics OF
the same quality than they paid under
the Wilson bill. In some instances
clothes will be as cheap as hitherto, but
that kind OF clothes will be void of wool.
and will be nothing but shoddy and fake
goods, fostered by robber tariff. In
view of the above, how will the working
man get off with an additional so cents
on a suit of clothes? AS to the Times as
sertion that the workingmen will hava
steadier employment, hence the ability
to buy clothes, even at greater cost
than now, that remains to be seen. So

Not a Suicide.

The reports of the suicide of Miss
Jennie Jackson, who died in convulsions
at the Memorial Hospital last Sunday
night from taking ammonia from bottle
of lavender smelling salts are now proven
untrue. Miss jackson was staying at
the home of her cousin, David Depue,
10 Flagler street. She had been troubl-
ed on Saturday night from severe pain,
thought to be from wind-colic, and Mr..
and Mrs. Depue sat up with her part
of the night. Early in the morning
when all were asleep it was thought she
got up and finding the bottle of salts,
took its contents, presumably to relieve
pain, and was soon after seized with
commissions which lasted all day. DR..
Vaughan was called about ten o'clock,
and after cleansing the stomach and
doing all possible to relieve the suffering
woman, had the patient sent to Memorial
Hospital. where she died about mid
night. Facts have since developed
that the woman did not take the smell
ing salts, but was taken suddenly ill,
which caused commissions and death.

Erdman Telephone Relay.

Among the notable inventions in
telephony is telephone relay, to aid in
long distance transmission, invented by
Albert w. Erdman of Short Hills, son of
the Rev. Albert Erdman, ID. D., of this
city. The telephone already reaches
out to distances deemed impossible, or
rather impracticable, ten years ago, as
witness the recent connection of Omaha,
Neb., with New York, a distance of
], 500 miles. All the work of the Long
Distance Company, howevf, isstill done
by direct transmission fror =. end of
the line to the other witho ~,
mGdiary or re-enf0rcirg stSzzon,, but the
quest for telephone relay has not
been abandoned and the Erdman relay
is one of the best yet devised. Its action
as explained in recent number of The
Electrical Engineer may be resolved into
three steps, namely:
'sFirst, transforming the electrical un-
dulations or vibrations Of the incoming
telephone current into corresponding
mechanical vibrations; second, amplify-
ing these mechanical vibrations by ap-
plving them to device which varies the
flow, and therefore the pressure, of
current of air flowing through chamber
covered by flexible diaphragm, the
amplifcations appearing in the motion
of the flexible diaphragm as it responds
to the varying pressure within the
chamber; third, Transforming the ampli-
fed vibrations of the diaphragm into
electrical undulations or vibration in
the outgoing or relayed telephone cur
rent, which, like those of the first cir
cult, represent the sonorous vibrations of
the originally uttered and transmitted
sounds, but which flow in the second cir
cult and operate the distant telephone
receiver"

.'Busy. y

mean that the person desired is too busy
to answer the telephone. while others
have the impression that the operator in

Busy is that the person desired is

cannot cut him off from the person with
