A mistake is danger signal that warns

Fz0ATED on A WIND CAPITAL.
Judge GrOsscup's Sharp Rebuke to coun-
sci for Stockholders in SwindiiBg
corDordfion

CHICAGO, ILL, Jan. 4.-An applica-
ton for a receiver for the Harrison Inter
national Telephone Company by the Fort
Smith (Ark. stockholders. who sold the
stock OF their company in exchange ior
Harrison stock. was heard by Judge
Grosscup in the Federal court to-day.
The occasion was taken advantage of by
the court to sharply rebuke the petition
ers and say some plain things about the
Harrison Company. After reading the
bill Judge Grosscup said he could not con-
slider it in its crude, vague form, as "a
court cannot take coeniZance of town
meeting allegations adding:
This corporation seems to have been
floating on a wind capital of $4,000, 600.
1t is not AS solid as water. Why don't
you ask to get back your stock? You ap-
peer here for two men only, not as philan-
thropisls for the whole public"
1--WE prefer to appear as stockholders. p"
replied Judge Erb the counsel. This
thing is a gigantic fraud. They elected a
company of men for directors who we're
not fiji timber for Presidential cabinets
me of national reputation-Chasles Fos-
ter, ex-Secretary of the Treasury; United
States Senator Elkins; Patrick Egan, ex-
United S ates Minister to Chile; R. G..
Kerens OF ST.. Louis and Major William
Warner of Kansas City.
These men announced grand scheme
of conquest. The whole world was TO be
seized as a field of operations. The affair
was concocted in sin and fraud"
I'm other words" said the Judge "you
elect to come into court to disclose this
tremendous swindle as stock olders."
Permission was given to amend the bill.

PACIFIC SHORT LINE.
Road to Be BUHt From Sioux City to San
Francisco - Millions Behind
the Project

OMAHA, NEBR., Jan. I5-Donald Nc
Lean, builder OF railroads. was in the city
to-day en- route to Salt Lake. He is the
promoter of the Pacific Short Line, the
road that is to run from Sioux City to San
Francisco.
THAT road is going to be built said
Mr.. Mclean" 1t is now built from Sioux
City to O'Neill, Nebr., and trains are run
ming every day; and, what is more, the
road pays. We will begin building the
extension early in the summer, letting the
bids for it's construction in May.
THE road will be 365 miles shorter than
any other transcon tinentaI line, and it
will traverse a country where the grass
grows, and not desert. We cross the
Union Pacific on trestle just east of Og-
den, and after we leave Ogden we go off to
the north, and we come into San Fran
cisco around the tanneries, thus, you see,
avoiding the ferry boat service.
Il have European backing for $50, 000,-
900, but it will not take this much to build
the road. l am confident that it will pay
from the start As regards terminals and
division points, of course l know where
they will be, but do not care to make them
public now. for obvious reasons.
I'VE CT os' the Pacific slope of the Rock
les at Beckwith Pass and the Atlantic
slope at Sweetwater, and traverse the
famous Weber Canyon. We will have a
line into Salt Lake and already we have
twenty-five miles constructed.
II am interested with the George @.
Cannon road from Salt Lake to San Diego,
and it is on business connected with this
that / go to Salt Lake"

VIII BEGIN I'M JUNE.
At Last There Is Promise That Work
WIN Be Commenced on the New
Postofce Bujidin1

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 15.-"When
do you think construction of the San
Francisco postoffice building will be CON-
menced2" THE CALL correspondent asked
the supervising architect to-day.
You may say to the San Francisco
people that we expect to begin work not
later than June l." said that official.
Work has been retarded on account of
the report of War Department engineers
which we are now awaiting. 1t will be
remembered that agents of this depart
ment caused borings to be made on the
lot at Seventh and Mission streets and the
board reported that the ground would
support such a structure.
gk"But you must understand that there
are yet some engineering problems to be
solved. We turn d over to the War
Department the data furnished US by the
experts who made the borngs, and the
War Department engineers have been
engaged in making calculations of the
weight that can be supported by such a
foundation. The engineers who were
assigned the work of making these COM
putations have vast amount of work of
this kind on hand, and we will have to
are received from the engineers, we will
advertise for bids for the excavation and
the work of laying the foundation of the
building"
Will any change be made in the plans
OF the building?'
1--WE are aware that many criticisms
were made of the new design, after the
Spanish renaissance. as printed in the
San Francisco CALL, and we have decided
to modify the plans by diminishing the
height of the towers. With this exception,
there will be no change in the design"
1t is understood that the plan of the
building, with its high towers, as printed
in The CALL, were suggested by Supervis-
ing Architect Aiken, and that one of the
draughtsmen of his office prepared the
drawings in accordance with Mr.. Aiken s
ideas. The supervising architect then
took vacation for several weeks, and d ur-
ing his absence the plans were approved
by Chief Executive Officer Kemper, who
was the acting architect and who did not
wish to modify the design of his superior
officer. However, when Mr.. Aiken re-
turned and saw the drawing of the build
ing, with its monstrous towers and saw
the severe criticisms published in San
Francisco he resolved to make a change in
the plans as indicated.

The Assembly Ways and Means Com

Versely on the bill providing for an APP

Colonel Henry G. Shaw, who appeared
before the committee to make an argu-
ment for the bill, was seen after the meas

~ do not regret the action of the COM

to have raised the money for the arch II
the Stale had promptly provided for the
expense. This is, however, business
question rather than a political one, and
the business men of California will appre-
ciate its importance because they under
stand it and politicians do not. California
is going TO have great arch on Fennsyl-
Vania avenue on March illustrating her
magnificent fruit products and other re-
sources Notwithstanding the refusal OF a
legislative committee to recommend
trlhing appropriation for the expense.

that we are going to make display OF
our products in Washington upon the IN

Kenyon from the Committee on Con-
tested Elections asked the privilege OF the
Assembly 10 conduct the Power contest
in San Francisco. He figured that forty
witnesses coming from that City to Sacra-
mento would cost $3.50, whereas it would
only cost $500 for me committee to visit
San Francisco.
Chynoweth of Anaheim, who seems tc
have a grievance against Kenyon fol
something which occurred the other day
when the latter was presiding, strenuously
objected to any committee junket to Sar

There is sure to be vigorous appeal
from landowners OF the sacramento
Valley for the proposed appropriation OF
$500, 600 to deepen the channel OF this
stream. There is strong influence be-
hind the measure and some active work
was done to-day in rallving members to
the support of the bills which were intro
duced yesterday.
In committee Leon Dennery of San Fran
cisco expressed his sentiments with some
animation. He did not pretend to dispute
the vitality of the measure, but he was not
in favor of placing the power to appoint
the advising officers in the hands OF Gov
ernor Budd.
j. r. Price, chief engineer of the Board
of Public Works. has I'm bounded faith In
the plan now proposed TO secure deep
water navigation between San Francisco
and Sacramento. In an interview to-
night he said there was no reason why
the $500, 600 necessary to build one ofthe
great modern dredgers should not be ex-
pended in California. He is confident
that the work can be done at the Union
Iron Works. A dredger with ample power
to displace from the river bed and transfer
to the shore Of the stream 5000 cubic yards
of soft mud an hour could be constructed
for the sum named. The greatest obstruc-
ton to navigation is the shoal at Rio
Vista, where the depth of water does
not exceed four feet. The shoal Is mile
wide, but could be dredged for sufficient
depth to float large vessels at cost not
exceeding $40, 900.
Next Monday Senator VOORHEES, will in
troduce in the Senate two bills and con-
stitutional amendment TO exempt the en-
dowment OF Stanford University from
taxes. Similar measures will be intro
duced in the Assembly by Malcolm OF
| Santa Clara. Mrs Stanford Is compelled
to pay taxes amounting to $1,000 on the
property devised to the university. 1t is
cited as singular fact that California is
more unfriendly to the founders of col
! leges and institutions of learning than
any other State of the Union. Rookie
| feller's endowment of the Chicago Uni
| versity is exempt from taxes. Cornelfs
endowment was not taxed, yet the State
of California makes the Stanford Univer-
sity pay taxes on the entire gift OF the late
| Senator.
Mrs. Stanford is so hard pressed for
| ready money to meet the expenses OF the
university that she is com PEELED to use
| the means which she had set aside to sus-
| tain kindergarten schools in San Fran
! cisco. California, il is argued, has sent
| 5000 students to Palo Alto, yet Mrs. Stan
ford is taxed by the State for maintaining
this Institution of learning TO instruct
| them.
The constitutional amendment will be
so drawn as TO exempt from taxation only
! institutions OF this character. The ex-
emption will not apply to colleges,
schools and academies established for pri-
vate gain or institutions conducted by
sectarian societies.

schemes referred to the committee for in
vestieation. The chairman, Mellick, and
his associates have determined 10 make a
vigorous fight on the floor of the House
against this feature of public extrava-
gance. The temper OF the committee was
adverse to all trips, but doubt was ex-
pressed whether the Assem- bly, was ready
to vote against the whole plan of legis-
lative visits TO public institutions. If no
other measure of reform can be secured
the committee must sustain proposition
TO limit the number of junketers to three
on each committee, and these three to be
allowed only actual railroad fare and S. a
