VESSEL BURNED
At ANCHOR IN

Schooner Kadiak Is
Badly Damaged.

ALAMEDA, Nov. 9.-The schooner ka-
dak Of the Alaska Commercial Com
pany's fleet was nearly destroyed by fire
this morning in Oakland Creek. Off Hay
& Wright's ship yards. The vessel ar
rived from Alaska last week and alter
discharging was taken to the Oakland
harbor to remain during the winter
Shortly after the men at the ship yards
reported for duty this morning Mr.
Wright noticed smoke issuing from the
Kadiaks forecastle. From hasty inves-
tigation it was found that the whole in
terror of the ship was In flames A
bucket brigade was organized and went
out to the vessel in small boats. BY he
roic work the fire was kept in check until
the arrival of some of the apparatus OF
the Alameda Fire Department, which hau
been summoned by telephone.
A line of hose was carried from the
ship yard wharf to the ship by means
of several rowboats which were dashed
together and the hold of the Kadiak was
flooded and the flames eXtinguished The
forecastle is Quilted and her nose Is
burned away. The decks were cut up ny
the axes of the firemen and many of the
timbers of the after hold are charred and
will have to be replaced. Had 1t not been
for the prompt action of the employees
of the ship yards the Kadiall would have
been burned to the waters edge and
would have become total loss. Size was
in charge of Hay e. Wright at the line
undergoing repairs and there was no
Waterman aboard. It Is believed that the
fire was due to spontaneous combustion
of rags and refuse that had been left in
the paint chest.

WAITING FOR A
CALL FOR AN
EXTRA SESSION
Alamedans Expected
1t Yesterday.
Oakland once San Francisco Call,


Many members of the Alameda County
Legislative delegation were disappointed
to-day. They firmly expected to have
been ordered to convene at special ses-
sion in Sacramento next Monday for the
purpose of electing Colonel Burns to the
United States Senate and for such other
business as the Governor might dictate
But the special call did not come, al
though the politicians gathered in little
knots on Broadway to discuss the expect
ed summons For the first time in
months Assemblyman Joe Kelly was in
evidence. and he said he had heard hat
the call was to be issued the day after
the San Francisco election, but that so
far he knew nothing of it.
Senator Ieavitt was asked if four days
would not be too short a notice in which
to convene the Legislature, and said he
did not think 1t would. Il heard the
rumor, said he, that Governor Gage
was about to form an extra session, but
how true 1t is know not. Although
friend of Colonel Burns, / cannot say that
l am any better informed on this special
session matter than anybody else 1t
would not surprise me II one were called,
and to be truthful, | expect that one will
be called in time to handle the Senatorial
question before the meeting of Congress.
The Governor, under the constitution,
does not need to give any particular
length of time in which to get ready for
a special session. The constitution pro-

PACIFIC IMPROVEMENT
COMPANY DISSOLVED
Winding Up of the Affairs Of the
Branch of the Southern Pacific
Announced

NEW YORK. Nov. 9.-The winding up
of the affairs OF the Pacific Improvement
Company of California is semi of1icialIy
announced. The company is capitalized
at s., 000. 900 and T. H Hubbard is it's presi-
dent. 1t was organized twenty years ago
as a contracting and construction COM
pany in the interests of the Southern Pa
cific, and it was identified with many of
this systems enterprises, including the
building of the Hotel del Monte at Monte
rey.
The decision to wind up the affairs of
the company was reached in the recent
conferences between Coils p. Huntington,
Mrs. Leland Stanford, George Croker
and General Thomas H Hubbard, who
represented the Mark Hopkins Searles in
terests in the Southern Pacific.
Conferences on the subject of liquidating
the affairs of the Improvement Company
are being held every day in the Mills
building, but the end arrived at will not
be reached for many months, as it is a
big concern and each detail of liquidation
must be taken up separately. When the
assets are realized they will be divided
between the four interests named.

BURGLARS NOT
IN FAVOR Of A
NEW CHARTER
Present System All
They Desire.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
9OS Broadway. Nov. q

90S Broadway, Nov g.
While burglars are at large and high
waymen are swapping their fingers at eff
forts to catch them, and while dozens of
desperate criminals are swelling the rec
ords for arrests by being taken in for rid
ing to the High School on q bicycle with
out a bell, or for making cuspidors of the
sidewalks, the Police Department Is rent
in about three sections, any two of which
is working earnestly against the third.
For the past three months nothing has
been done in the Police Department but
politics, and the present condition of the
Police Commission is solely responsible
for the situation
The men who are supposed to be lead
ing these various sections are not to
blame Each one is ambitious and each
is fully cognizant of the fact that If he
can do enough politics he can, under the
present charter, gain his point and do up
the other fellow Merit and good be-
havior count for nothing-the politician is
the successful man on the force. So thor
oughly is this recognized that there are
many men in the department who make
no secret of Boosting OF their contempt
for certain of their supertors. The con-
stitution of the Board of Works IS such
that all three members are of necessity
active politicians and little more pres
sure brought on any one of the three
members can turn the Police Department
upside down or inside out at a single
meeting calleu at an Hour noIlce
Under these conditions nothing else can
be expected than that which now prevails.
Members are making secret reports to
their favorite Commissioners, ignoring
their superiOrs and bending their knees to
curry favor Chief Of Police Hodgkins Is
doing his best under the circumstances,
but with such internecine troubles he can
not do what is expected of him. Captain
Peterson is conscientiouSly trying to hold
up his end, but there are men on his
watch who are not in sympathy with him
and who to certain extent tie his hands.
The day watch, under Captain Wilson, is
no more harmonious and it IS even said
that an officer a few nights ago actually
had four suspected robbers within his
grasp, but let them go on very flimsy
explanation given by them.
All agree that there can be no improve
ment till there is a charter that will take
the department out Of politics.

SUFFRAGE THE
PATHWAY To A
HIGHER LIFE
Mrs. Gait Argues on
New Lines.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,

90S Broadway, Nov. g.
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, chairman of
the National Organization Of Womens
Suffragists. addressed large audience
tonight In the First Unitarian Church.
The ediice was decorated with potted
palms and flowers TO receive the speaker
and the coterie of notable women who
had seats on the platform during her dis
course. Mrs. Gait made as a strong ar
gument for the giving Of the ballot to
women the idea Of cross inheritance She
said in part, after having been introduced
by the Rev. J. X. Mclean:
1T was once thought that children in
herited all their qualities from their faith
er. Their mother was credited with hav-
ing given them life but not tenderness Of
q moral, spiritual or intellectual charac-
ter. This was many years ago. change
came when a distinguished German sci
enlist discovered that boys inherit ten
denotes chiefly from their mother, and
girls inherit from their father. And this
viii be found TO be true in the vast ma
1or1ty Of cases.
Il ask then-if this be accepted by sci
entists and Intelligent people generally
the fact that motherhood means a great
deal more 10 children than mere mother
hood In the physical sense, why we should
not give TO women all the educational
and political advantages given to man?
Why not give TO her the responsibilities
may inpart strength OF character and
purity OF purpose 70 her sons?
In looking forward to greater progress
along all lines we must realize that that
progress will be made only as men and
women rise together We must have
greater motherhood and we must have
a greater fatherhood Then there will
rise a great race. Advance wfll mean
greater welfare and greater welfare will
come through the ballot. since the better
ment Of the nation, it's stability and It's
safeguard is the main function and pur-
pose of the ballot. The ballot is the ma
TONS best weapon. 1t should be in the
hands Of every citizen"
Mrs. Gait reviewed history briefly in
her introduction, pointing out that while
all the other centuries have been marked
by militarism,. this. the nineteenth, is
noted for It's industrial progress. This
progress has meant the putting of women
into business life And the going of
women from the home to the factory, the
