RAILROAD MEN
TAKE DEPARTURE
Spend Their Last Day
in San Francisco
Pleasantly.

The members of the Travelling Passen-
ger Agents Association left last evening
for the East in a special train of two sec
tions. During their brief sojourn in San
Francisco they have been royalty enter
tained, much of the credit being due 10
the California reception committee of the
association, which has been working for
months preparing long and splenc
programme.
Yesterday morning the railroad men
and their friends assembled at the ferry
building at 10 o'clock. They were shown
the many exhibits in the State Board of
Trade, which made a deep impression OIL
them. After about an hour spent in the
building the party took the Jackson street
cars for a ride to the Cliff House On
their arrival there a dainty luncheon Was
laid for them, the expense of the meal b@-
ing betrayed by the State Board of Trade.
After the black coffee had been served
General N. L. Chapman, president OF the
State Board of Trade, made short ad
w. H. Mills, land agent of the Southern
Pacific Company. Mr. Mills was at his
best, and his remarks were so bright and
full of humor that he kept the party In a
laugh throughout the entire speech. In
closing he paid a tribute to E. 0. McCor-
mick, saying:
welcomer of the country. He will have
smile and kind word for the undertaken
when he comes.
On account Of the ram the trip through
Golden Gate Park was abandoned
A number of the Eastern railroad men
had heard of the fame of San Francisco s
French dinners and were anxious to try
one. Last night their wish was grained,
as the entire party was entertained at a
French dinner at the Palace Hotel by the
Southern Pacific Company. The affair
was impromptu and all came dressed to
board the train. The dinner and gathe;'-
ing closed at IL o'clock, and all then took
the train at Oakland mole.

PECULIAR CONDITIONS
AT ENTZMINGER HOME
Officials Suspect Mrs. McVicker Of
Double Dealing With Feeble
Minded Woman.

Secretary White of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Children alleges
that a peculiar state of affairs exists at
the home of Lizzie Entzminger, whose
two children were recently placed in a
charitable institution.
Mrs Entzminger is said to be weak
mentally. She has labOred for years to
support herself and children, and has
lately been compelled TO give up the
struggle, owing to sickness. Secretary
White sent her to the City and County
Hospital, but she did not care to remain
there and returned to her own abode.
Several attempts are said to have been
made by charitably inclined persons to
relieve Mrs. Entzminger's financial dis
tress, but all have been met at the door
of the house by Mrs McVickor, who
has informed them that the woman Is
dangerous and that charity is not accept
able, as she possesses property.
White says that no one is allowed to
see the sick woman, and he fears there Is
something wrong. An investigation is
being made by the officials of the Chii-
dren's Society and of the German Be-
neVOlent Association.

BOARD OF EDUCATION
CANNOT DELEGATE POWER
Judge Hunt Decides That Its Presi-
dent Cannot Suspend
Teacher.

The demurrer to the petition for writ
of prohibition restraining the Board of
Education from suspending Miss M. c.
Mckinney from her position in the Sher-
man Grammar School until she has been
tried on the charges preferred by Prin-
cipal Albert Lyser was overruled by
Judge Hunt yesterday. The Board of
Education demurred to the petition on
the ground that the complaint did not
state facts sufficient to constitute cause
of action and that the court had no juris-
dictton over the Board of Education.
Judge Hunt holds that the board in
president of the board violated well de-
fined principle of the law which pro-
vides that a board acting judicially has
not the right to delegate the power
which under certain conditions 1t has of
suspending a teacher against whom
charges have been preferred.

HEAVY RAINFALL VISITS
CITY AND ITS VICINITY
Continuance of Wet Weather Pre-
dicted for Central and Northern
California To-Day.

Yesterdays rainfall was heavy in San
Francisco, particularly during the early
evening, but the storm was confined to
a section of the State not more than a
hundred miles in diameter. with the bay
as center. 1t originated just outside
the heads and took a course to the north.
but turned toward the south as evening
approached.
The depth of rain which had fallen in
this city at o'clock last night was .38
of an inch, on Mount Tamalpais .43, at
Red Bluff 04 and at Sacramento %.
Forecaster McAdie states that indica-
tions point to the conclusion that the
central and northern portion of the State
that the country to the south, which is
greatly in need Of rain. will have to get
along without it this time. 1t is expect
ed that the storm will last all through
to-day, and that the weather will clear
again about midnight.

FOOD STOPPED IT.
Good Food Worth More Than a Gold

To find a food that viii put an absolute

they begin to run down go from one food
10 another and find It impossible TO find
food that viii stop the progress of dis
ease. Grape-Nuts Food is the most nour-
ishing known, AID will set one right if
that IS possible.

Accepts the Reduced verdict.

A stipulation was filed yesterday in
the County Clerks Office whereby Hugh
Leroy Shea, who was awarded SIS, 900
damages for the death Of his father, who
was killed while in the employ of the
for $15,0 900 of that amount
The attorneys for the company recently
moved for a new trial on the ground
that the sum awarded by the jury was
excessive, according to a decision of the
Supreme Court to the effect that no
larger sum than the amount that the per-
son killed could have earned in his natu-
raj life II his life had not been cut short
should be awarded.
Judge Hunts in passing on the motion
for a new trial held with the attorneys
for the defense and said he would grant
the motion unless Shea consented to ac-
cept 100000
The company will in all probability ap-
peal the case to the Supreme Court
rather than pay the amount of the re-
duced verdict
