FUTURE ACQUISITIONS
OF THE SANTA FE

OAKLAND, July 13-The statement
published in The Call this morning that
the Santa Fe controlled" the electric
street system of Oakland has caused
much comment and brought forth some
denials that although the ownership or
the syndicate railroad by the Santa Fe
must naturally come about IN the future,
ii is not yet an accomplished fact.
Secretary Taylor of the syndicate roads
admitted to-day that the cars OF all the
branches Of the syndicate lines are to be
painted the same color as the cars OF the
Santa Fe system: but he also declared
that he took his orders from the transit
company and not from the Santa Ee.
Chief Engineer Story of the Valley Rail-
road also says that the Santa Fe has not
yet acquired the streetcar lines of oak
Erafnc Manager Bissen of the Santa Fc
gas recently in San Francisco and de-
clared that owing to the unexpected diff
Culues in constructing some of the tun-
nSlS on the Valley road the Santa F5
would not this year at least negotiate for
the purchase of the little California and
Nevada Railroad, which runs from En-
eryville into Contra Costa County.
Discussing this important matter the
Enquirer says:
The best that can be said Of the story is
that II is a little premature. Possibly the
Santa Fe may some day control the syndicate
system Of Oakland street railways Even now

An effort having been made to prove
that Mayor Snow had promised to reap
point Street Superintendent Miller in case
of his defeat for City Engineer, the
Mayor to-day issued the following written
opinion referring to the subject:
"Dr. Pardee never asked me during the
last municipal campaign to vote for Mr..
Miller for Superintendent of Streets, nor
since the campaign for that matter.
I'VE were all taking it for granted that
Mr. Miller would be elected City Engineer

tor and myself for his support of the
ticket nor for any man on it.
There was some difference between US
as to campaign methods, and the result
was that the doctor and Mr.. Dalton

last election the matter of Miller had
been discussed Mr.. Miller was then run

Engineer. There was some talk that
Miller might be defeated, and Mr Snow

Judge ogden has given plaintiff judg-

up the plea that Diete was not regu-

oned that Diete had afterward secured a
license from the State Board of Veteri-
narians. which board was created by the
act of 1898. The eonstitutionality Of this

UNION LEAGUE CLUB
RECEIVES A WINDFALL
Mrs. Stanford's Generosity Relieves
It of Very Considerable


Another act of generosity on the part
of Mrs. June Stanford came to light We'd
nesday through resolutions adopted by
the directors of the Union League Club on
the 29th of last month, which have only
just now been made public.
Many years ago Mr.. Stanford subscribed
for fifty $40 bonds issued by the club. For
a time the interest was regularly paid
upon them, but finally, owing to financial
distress the interest was allowed to lapse
until IL amounted to quite sum-
Just before her departure for Europe
last May the matter came to the notice or
Mrs Stanford as she was going over her
affairs previous to her leaving. 1t was as
certained that the financial standing of
the club had improved and that there was
r,o necessity TO worry about any interest
connected with any of its bonds. Mrs.
Stanford thought the matter over, and
coming to the conclusion that notwith,
standing the clubs improved financial
condition, a little present would not be
amiss she voluntarily surrendered not only
the unpaid interest, but the bonds as we'll,
thus relieving the club from considerable
Of its Indebtedness.
The following are the resolutions adopt
ed by the directors of the club to express
their gratitude to their benefactress:
Whereas Mrs. Jane L. Stanford has sur
rendered to this club fifty C5O) bonds heretofore
issued by the club in denominations or sums
of ton fs1M dollars each without any
pensetion therefor and has also voluntarily re-
finnuished her right to the unpaid interest
thereon and whereas. the surrender OF the
said bonds and the unpaid interest is a per-
sonal gift of Mrs. Stanford, and moreover. of
most estimable value, accompanies Herewith
her kindest wishes TO the club Therefore be
Resolved That the Union League Club of San
Francisco. through its board OF directors.
hereby expresses its sincere appreciation of the
generosity and kindness of Mrs. Stanford as
indicated by the facts above noted.
Resolved further, That copy of these reso-
lutions be conveyed to Mrs. Stanford, together
with the good will and best wishes of the club
and with the hope that her health and happi-
ness may be ever commensurate with the ex
allied character of her kind and generous deeds.

refused to give any further informa-

No less in degree of sadness is the
case of Mrs. Millie Golden. aged 55
years. For several months past at the
Home for the Adult Blind she has
shown signs of a mental breakdown.

The disease is in the shape of fun
