GOOD WORK GOING ON.
SOCIETY FOR PREVENTION OF
CRUELTY TO CHILDREN
It Will Take Further Action In
the Case Of the
Stroup Girl

The Board of Directors Of the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Chill
dren held its regular monthly meeting
last night. President Van Norden pre-
siding
Secretary Simon reported various bills
and expenses incurred and they were
ordered paid.
Secretary Simon said that officer
Healy's health had suffered through the
hot weather from his arduous work,
and he thought he should be allowed
vacation Of two weeks. Chief of Police
Dwyer had promised to give the society
any assistance needed during the OIL
GERS absence.
Officer Healy was granted the desired
leave Of absence unanimously.
Mr.. Simon said that while in San
Francisco recently he visited Father
Crowley at the Youths Directory, and
had a. very pleasant chat with him. Al
though this society has not for the past
two years paid anything to the Youths
Directory, it has taken twenty five or
thirty children for the society. Father
Crowley said that when the new build
ing Is opened he would be glad to aid
the society in any way in his power.
Mr.. Simon asked If it would not be
we'll for the society to make a donation
to the directory, but President Van
Norden thought it would be we'll to
wait until the years subscriptions come
in.
The Board Of Directors then adjourn
ed and the regular meeting Of the So
ciety was held
Secretary Simon read his report Of
the society's work for the month, show
ing that the needs of a family that was
burned out had been relieved, and that
the society has taken in charge about
dozen children and found suitable
places for them to live. There was a
variety Of cases, some Of them calling
for prompt and decided action.
Officer Healy reported the case Of a
woman IN the Brown House, who had
fitted up a room to receive visitors and
had little girl there who was in dan
ger Of being contaminated. The So
ciety decided to take action.
Secretary Simon stated in relation to
the case Of one of the Stroup girls, en-
ployed in Chinese restaurant, that
she swore to a complaint against the
Chinaman, but in court denied that he
had abused or assaulted her. Letters
had been received from the Sheriff and
Justice Of the Peace at Placerville,
where the girls formerly lived he said,
which gave the girls hard character
and disproved their statements,
The. case in court was dismissed,
but he thought that, in the light
Of the information received, action
should be taken to take the
younger girl away from her older sister
and save her, if possible. He thought
the matter should be taken into the
courts and legal action in the matter
secured.
George H. Smith moved that the
President and Secretary be requested to
see what can be done for the younger
child, and it was carried.
The society then adjourned

SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENT.
Splendid Work on the Central Pa
cific Roadbed.

Among the substantial improvements
the Southern Pacific Company are max
ing on the Central Pacific track through
the mountains is the stone ballast,
which comes from a new rock crusher
stationed on the side of the road at
Champions, about four and half miles
west of Truckee. The machine turns
out about 100 tons a day with a ten
horse power engine and force of eight
men, five to break down the rock and
load the car, one to handle the brake,
and an engineer. Roadmaster H. T. Nc
Crabbe watches the operation very
closely and is there a good deal Of the
time. He has F. Bermester of Sacra-
mento for foreman and w. j. Luke of
Reno for engineer.
The crusher is known as the Gates"
and works with two truncated cones,
which reduce the rock to a mass run
ming from the size of a hens egg to
powder, and dump 1t into the Rogers
ballast cars which carry it to tunnel
IS, where the work of ballasting the
track was begun.
The plan is said to be to rebuild the
track through the forty miles of sheds.
A foundation Of broken rock eight
inches thick is laid on the ground. The
ties rest thereon, and the broken stone
ballast covers them. to the top. This
makes fine drainage, keeps the roadbed
dry and gives circulation so as to make
fine, elastic surface.
There are new ties going in wherever
necessary, and every tie is plated after
being creosoted. The plate is a fiat
piece of iron about six by eight inches.
with holes for spikes. It gives firm
bearing for the rail.

MRS. WOODSON BADLY BURNED
Lamp ExpIodes and Sets Fire to Her
Clothes.

FL Reno. o. T, June 20.-(SpeclaI.)- Mrs.
Woodson, wife of Major A. E. Woodson,
met with a very serious if not fatal acct
dent al her home in Darlington, Saturday
evening. She left light burning in her
room in the upper part of the house.
While down on the first floor for q few
moments a gust of wind came up and
blew the lace curtain on the window, with
such force as TO knock the chimney from
the lamp TO the floor. Hearing the CHM
new fall she rushed UP stairs to find the
curtain blazing fiercely. While sndeavor-
ing to pull 1t down the lamp itself explod-
ed, scattering burning oil In every drec-
ton. Thinking only Of her curtain the
woman continued her work at pulling Ii
down until her dress caught fire. 1t was
only a short time until she was encOm-
passed in a mass of flame. With great
presence Of mind she grabbed up some
rugs that were near and wrapped herself
up in them. Her injuries consist of both
hands. both limbs, body and neck being
badly burned. With the exception Of a
skirt her entire attire was burned.
Major Woodson had not yet returned
from Dallas where he had been attend

WILL MEET At PERRY
League of Republican Clubs
in Annual Convention.
PROMISES A LOVE FEAST
KingfSher Sends an Enthusi-

Guthrie, o. T, June SpeciaL)-The
gathering Of Republican league clubs at
Perry tomorrow will. in all probability,
be lacking IN the stirring scenes that
marked a similar gathering at FL Reno
one year ago. AT that time considerable
soreness existed because Of the recent dis
appointment OF Flynn and his friends and
the unfortunate fact that all good Repub-
leans could not be provided with an office.
Consequently there existed what were
termed the administration" and Organ
ization" crowds. the former consisting Of
the friends Of Governor Barnes and the
latter composed of the adherents OF Mr..
Flynn. who had control of the machinery
of the party. The feeling of antagonism
between the two factions made itself
manifest very early in the convention and
the proceedings throughout were marked
by more or less disorder, which toward
the close gave way to a degree OF har-
mony, the convention eliminating in a
genuine love-feast, which IS the aim of
the Republican league.
Tomorrow's convention, II Is predicted,
will be a love-feast from start 10 finish.

of military and naval officers in high

the vast extent of our sea coast to block
