MONEY FOR SAN PEDRO HARBOR Sundry Civil Appropria- ton Bill Carries
 $4OO,OOO. Likely to Go Through Despite Opposition in House and
 Senate.
Large Sum to Be Voted for Ira- Provements in the Oakland
 HarbOr.
Call Office. Riggs House,

Washington, Feb. Zl.
 The advocates of a deep harbor for San Pedro have beaten Huntington and the Southern Pacific, for, as predicted in last nights dispatches to The Call, the sundry civil appropriation bill re- ported to-day carries $400,000 for the work at San Pedro during the next fiscal year. This is a triumph for Judge Mcguire and Congressman Barlow. There may be a bitter opposition to it on the floor of the House and Senate, but the friends of San Pedro are con- fident that it will go through.
 Oakland harbor also gets a large amount. The limit of cost was fixed at $666,OOO in the original bill and $133,- 900 is to be appropriated for this fiscal year. This amount, with the uneXpend- ed balance of $33, 900 from last years appropriation, will make a total of $166,O0O available for the next fiscal year. It is assumed by Congressman Hilborn that the work on the tidal ca nal will be included, although this is by no means certain, for it is discretionary with the War Department whether or not the tidal canal project will be un- dertaken. Congressman Hilborn is of the opinion that the Oakland harbor project proper will receive the first at tention and that work on the tidal ca nal, whether a tidal canal for sanitary purposes, may properly be undertaken by the Federal Government.
 The decision in this matter is not final, however, and it may be that the War Department will eventually use a part of the Oakland harbor appropriation in continuing the tidal canal work. No appropriations were made for the re- moval of Arch and Shag rocks and other Instructions in San Francisco harbor for the reason that the sundry civil only makes appropriations to carry out contracts already made by the War Department. The removal of these Instructions will have to be pro- vided for in the river and harbor bill, if one is passed at this session, which seems doubtful at this time.
 Other items included in the sundry civil bill are as follows: For continuing construction of public buildings in San Francisco, $500, ,O00; for the establish ment of telephone connections between lightship and lighthouse at Point Arena. $860; for fish culture stations at Baird and Fort Gaston, Cal, S4620 for enforcement of the Chinese eXclu- sion act, s100,000; for surveys and re- surveys of the Pacific Coast Gncluding Alaska), $54 400, of which $15000 is made immediately available; for sur veying and temporarily marking a portion of the eastern boundary of the State of California, s10000; for continu- ing work on the wall at the PreSidio, San Francisco, $5000; for defraying eX- penses of the California Debris Com mission, $15,000; expenses of Soldiers Home at Santa Monica, $25,000.

REV. ALEXANDER
 SPANKS 4 DAUGHTER
Special Dispatch to The Call.


 FRESNO, Feb. 21.-Rev. T. w. Alexan- der, a Baptist evangelist, was arrested yesterday for whipping Lillie Alexander, his 17-year-old daughter. Rev. Mir. Alex ander lives at 40 M street. He reproved his daughter, but she did not submit tamely to her fathers rebuke, and defed him. When taunted by the headstrong daughter, the Rev. Alexander conclud- ed that the time for action had arrived, and started in to give her spanking. The girl resisted and managed to escape, after receiving several slaps. Lillie ran out into the back yard screaming at the top of her voice. Neighbors heard the cries and thought that some one was being murdered.
 It was soon discovered that only a little parental discipline was being adminis- tered Some one telephoned for the police, and Officer Henry Russell responded, placing the preacher under arrest. Dur ing the afternoon Rev. Alexander was released from jail by order of Recorder Clark, who had been interviewed by one of the older daughters. To-day Rev ed by the disgrace of being placed under arrest. He would not explain the cause of the disturbance of the day before.
 He came to California from Tennessee in 1884, and first located in Woodville, Tulare County, where he was pastor of the Baptist church for five years. At one time he was pastor of the Malaga Baptist Church. His wife has been i'll with fever for the past five weeks. The indiscretions of Lille and her younger sister no doubt caused the family rupture. For some time the young women created a great deal of unfavorable comment. For a while they were on the streets nearly every night, and finally the police noti- fled them to stay at home. One evening they were taken from the back room of a saloon.

WILL NOT AGAIN
 BE PROSECUTED
Special Dispatch to The Call.

Special Dispatch to The Call.
 SAN JOSE, Feb. 21-The nine additional charges of bank wrecking against H. M. Leonard, ex-president of the Santa Clara Bank, were to-day placed on the trial calendar for March IA by Judge Lorigan. This was done at the request of Attorney H. V. Warehouse. counsel for Leonard, and is but preliminary step looking to their dismissal.
 The Santa Clara Bank failed in 1894. An investigation showed Leonard had been dabbling in stocks, and that he had embedded about s2OO 900 of the bank s money. He was indicted on ten charges of embezzlement and falsifying the rec ords of the bank. The trial of the first charge resulted in his conviction, and he was sentenced to Folsom prison for two years. He was released about a year ago, and since then has been living at Santa Clara.
 The remaining nine cases against Leon- ard were never brought to trial nor form ally dismissed. It was generally under stod that there would be no further prose cution of the ex-bank official after he had completed his term of Imprisonment. He has, however, for some months been very anxious and worried because his record in the Criminal Court was not clear. He feared that the charges might at any time be brought up against him in case he should embark in a business

BURIED FOR CENTURIES.

White oak logs that have been bur-
led under the site OF Chicago for 1000
years have just been put to use. Prof
Ossian Guthrie, the Chicago geologist,
who has studied the local strata and
helped 10 unearth the remnants OF
some OF these prehistoric trees. has
just come into possession OF two toilet
brushes, made from this ancient oak.
that have surprised the manufactures
OF imitation antique" woods by the
wonderful polish and color OF which
the genuine antique oak is capable. No
precious woods that have ever been inn
ported into Chicago are as maryelously
beautiful as these specimens with
which Prof. Guthrie has just been pre-
sented. The wood from which Prof.
Guthrie's souvenirs are made was dug
up near the corner OF Calumet avenue
and Thirty ninth street, where many of
the trunks are being chopped away in
sewer eXcaYating
Most of these prehistoric logs have
been resurrected from their 7000-year-
old graves TO be divided up among the
museums and universities OF the coun-
try. Walnut. willow, beech and most of
the modern native woods have been dug
up under these glacial deposits and al
luvium Of seventy centuries. but the
white oak. the same tree evidently that
nourishes i'm the parks today. has been
preserved best of all.
Some frightful cyclone appears to
have bent and laid low the trees at
first. The iron fiber is bent and twist
ed i'm nearly all Of them at one partic-
ular spot i'm the trunk. and It is evident
that this was the cause that first bur
led the giant forests under the sands
and alluvium. Some of these trunks
have been followed by Prof. Guthrie i'm
the excavations for streets and houses
for many feet. One trunk, i'm Sheffield
avenue, was unearth for seventy feet
Evidently this forest was the first
growth after the glacial period. 1t lies
close to the glacial clay, under the allu-
vial drift, at "a general depth OF four
teen feet. The cyclone apparently laid
the forest low. and the sand and drift
was blown up from the lake and COW
cred IL. The water formed an air-tght- =
capsule about the trunk and kept it
from decaying.
OF late years, however, the surface
sewers have drained the water away
from the trunks, and the bark and out
er LAYERS of wood have gone 10 decay.
The polish fiber OF the inner wood is
still intact in most of them. however.
