 Seventh Street Is a Local =. :. System.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,

...s . s.OaKldHQ Sl1IlCe. san FTdnClSCO CalIi >. =. ..:% 90S: Broadway. March 31, :: . The war between the street railroads of the Southern Pacific Company, and the Realty: Syndicate took on another phase to:day when the railroad company issued "a notice that after April 4, the Broadway lines would transfer to the Seventh street local steam line: and carry: passengers either to West Oakland. or Fruityafe. This move has; been forced on: the. com pany by. the Syndicate, which is now at work connecting the two Eighth-street roads so that there will be a quick con tinnous cross town road only, one block removed from the steam road.
 The. railroads lines, not having any crosstoWn:. connections =. with which to transfer; .aird being refused ali transfer privileges by: the Syndicate, it became imperative to transfer to the steam road as the. only means of. holding a large share of the Broadway travel.
 The new move is of peculiar interest to Assessor Dalton: and he. declares that 1t will now be impossible for the railroad to argue that the Seventh street road is now a portion of the main line and should not be. taxed by the: county, as it Is as- SeSSed by: the State Board of. Equaliza- tion. Every year Assessor Dalton has put the local road on his rolls, and it has been: stricken off by the county board, acting under the: direction of the State board. = :: :.
 .I do not see how the road can be said not be to a, street railroad any more,"" said Mir. Dalton this afternoon. T have argued in the past that it would be just as reasonable. for the railroad. to include the Broadway lines in their main line, and now my argument would seem to be we'll taken.:. It is: surely absurd for any one to argue that the main line of a rail- road would transfer to street car lines, and I; shall again assess the Seventh street track, and be pleased to hear an explanation of the new conditions

Last evening the American Biscuit Company's factory. at Broadway and Battery street, was totally destroyed by fire. About 6 o'clock an alarm was turned in from box 354. and within a few minutes two more alarms followed. When the Fire Department arrived smoke was pouring from all the win dows throughout the building. The de- partment did splendid work in confin- ing the flames to the one building, for before the arrival of the first engine the flames were leaping almost across the street.
 For over two hours the fire ragged flercely, and it looked for some time as if the adjoining block would be de- stroyed, but fortunately the burning structure was of brick. and 1t is for this reason that. the department was not obliged to fight an all-night fire.

 TO SAVE A LIFE :. Officer Tracey Thrust His Arm in Front of a Highbinder's
 ... Weapon.
By His Brave Act .-He Intercepted |,
 Bullet Intended for g Brother ..@ Officers Body.

The police officers who assisted In the arrest of the two highbinders who as- saulted and wounded Lun Sier Wednes- day night: are loud in their praises of the bravery of Patrick Tracey, who received a bullet wound in his arm. They say he saved the fife of one of them.
 The shooting took place at the corner of Sullivan and Cum Cook alleys. directly in front of the office of the sauad. of spe- cial police hired by the Chinese to guard their interests. George Downey, one of the squad, was sitting inside the door at the. time, and as soon as he heard the first shot he rushed to the scene of action. Galloway, Tracey and Burke of the regular Chinatown posse arrived at for the two highbinders, who were armed with pistols. Tracey reached the men first, running slightly to one side of them. Bah Non fourished his revolver threateningly toward the three officers. who were approaching him from the front Tracey saw the Chinese raise the revolver to shoot, and perceiving that one of his brother officers was in great danger of receiving bullet, he made a lunee at the MongoIian with the infen- ton of knocking the gun from his hand. Bah Non discharged the weapon while Iraceys arm was between it and the other policeman, with the result that Ira cey will carry the arm in sling for some days.
 He knew he would receive the bullet He also knew that his associates were so close to the highbinder that one of the three would be sure to receive a wound which might prove fatal. Without hesi- tating moment Tracey threw his arm up and received the bullet which was in- tended for one of,the party:
