A Terrapin's Memory.

That Br'er Tarrypin has memory is
proved by a story told by Young d.
Hance. who owns the birthplace Of
Chief Justice Taney on Battle Creek.
in Calvert County.
Mr.. Hance keeps a small boat under
mulberry tree on the shore OF the
creek and on going to the boat early
one morning he noticed a dry land
terrapin busily engaged in eating a few
mulberries which had fallen. Mr..
Hance, wishing to assist Br'er Tarrypin
in getting his breakfast, gathered some
mulberries and pitched them to him
one at a time. In a very short time
the terrapin began to catch the berries
in his mouth exactly as they were
thrown to him. Every day afterward
slight knock on the side of the boat
would bring the terrapin out for his
mulberries and Mr.. Hance often took
his friends and visitors to see his pet.
On one occasion a fresh young man
threw a piece of tobacco to the terra
pin instead of a mulberry. Br'er Tar
rypin retired at once in disgust and for
days afterward refused TO come when
called. Although Mr.. Hance finally in
duced him to come again for his null
berries, Br'er Tarrypin remembered the
tobacco and would never approach un-
less Mr.. Hance was alOne.-BalumOre

SOUTHERN PACIFIC PUTS
ON NEW OVERLAND TRAIN
Arranges With Rock Island for Addi-
uOnal Service Between Chicago
and Los Angeles.

The Southern Pacific Company, ex-
pectng a heavy traffic from the East
this winter, has arranged with the
Rock Island road to run a new fast
train between Chicago and Los Angeles.
via Ell Paso, leaving Chicago commenc-
ing Christmas day, and leaving Los
Angeles commencing December 30 This
train is in addition to the fast Golden
State limited. The new train will leave
Chicago $40 a. m, arriving Los Ange-
les $50 a. m. OF the third day, making
the actual running time seventy two
hours. Eastbound the train will leave
Los Angeles at 1910 p. m. and will car
ry a complete equipment of dining cars,
first-class sleepers, tourist sleepers,
and in addition a through tourist car
between Chicago and San Francisco.
Every indication points to an extreme
ly heavy movement to the coast during
the winter months-in fact it has al
ready begun, as cars are coming to the
Southern Pacific from the East very
heavily laden.

The cars and the line will De reDuiI'.
The reconstruction of the Alameda Iine
will be followed by similar work on tue
Haywards line, which runs over tnS
tracks of the Alameda system tnrousn
East Oakland. There will then remain
nothing to be rebuilt except the West
Eighth street line, the Twelfth street
line and the Fourteenth street line.
All of these lines are sadly in need OF
work. 1t has been known that tney
were to be reconstructed, and as little
work has been done upon them as
would permit the cars to crawl over the
tracks.
1t is probable that a through system
from West Oakland TO East Oakland
will be established over the Eighth ana
the Twelfth street lines. AT present
passengers must transfer at Broad
way.
Rails for the reconstruction Of the
lines on East Eighth street, Fifth ave-
nue., East Eighteenth street to Fruit
vale and the Eighth avenue lines are
already on the ground. The next twelve
months will see every one of these
lines changed, and new equipment Will
have arrived from the East.

LIE IS PASSED
IN COURTROOM
Attorney Philip NJ. Walsh

Oakland Office San Francisco Call.
1915 Broadway, Dec. 20.
A renewal of ante-election hostilties
seemed imminent this morning, when
Attorney Philip NJ. Walsh and w. S.
O'Brien, the man whom Walsh recent
ly defeated in the race for seat in the
Assembly, met in court, to try suit
for damages brought by O'Brien
against DR.. S. H. Buteau. The lie was
freely passed, and for time 1t seemed
as if the victorious candidate and his
late opponent would engage in COM
bat
The suit brought by O'Brien against
DR.. Buteau was for injuries sustained
in a collision between a buggy driven
by the latter and a rig occupied by
Drs. Buteau and G. H. Liliencranz,
which happened on November 3 1902.
O'Brien alleges that when his buggy
was struck by that of the defendant he
received injuries which will leave per-
manent scars on his face and Body, ;"
and as balm for his suffering and the
consequent Disagreement of his visage,
he asked damages in the sum of s299.
When the case was called for trial
to-day before Judge Geary, who oc-
cupied the bench in place of Justice of
the Peace J. G. Quinn, O'Brien ap-
peared as his own attorney. The de-
fense was represented by Attorney Phil
NJ. Walsh. In the course of his testi-
mony DIR. Buteau said that O'Brien ap-
peared to be under the influence of
liquor at the time of the collision, and
this remark provoked a storm. Leslie
Blackburn, who was with O'Brien
when the accident happened, made
some personal remarks concerning
Walsh and the lie CSo6 caUnraI
times.
The difficulty was finally smoothed
over and as OBrien desired time to
submit some authorities on the case,
Judge Geary took the matter under
advisement.

Widow Tyson Swears Out
Warrant for Arrest of
"DOc" William S. Proctor
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,

Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
1016 Broadway, Dec. 20.
DOC" William S. Proctor, who deals
in eyeglasses and life insurance, and
who says he owns an orange grove in
Southern California, was arrested to-
night at Niles and is charged with fell
ony in having secured from Mrs e.
Tyson of that town $3.50 and some dfa-
monds upon a promise that he would
marry her. With Proctor is Ray Ash
berry, whose exact connection with the
case is a little uncertain, and who
both Proctor and he say has nothing
to do with it, The warrant was sworn
to by Mrs, Tyson, and it is for Ash
berry also.
Mrs Tyson is a widow with a family
of grown sons. The Tysons were among
the original settlers of Washington
Township years ago, and the family
has grown until it is an important part
of that community. Proctor first made
his appearance in Niles about year
ago, and since then he has been back
and forth several times. He came back
about a month ago, and was there until
his arrest by Constable Roderick upon
a warrant issued by Justice Sandholt.
The charge is that Proctor worked his
way into the affections of the widow,
and upon a promise to- marry her OBJ
tained money at different times and fin
ally the jewelry.
This is the work of the jealous sons
of Mrs. Tyson" said Proctor. 1T is
true that Mrs. Tyson and 1 have had
some business dealings, but they were
strictly business and legitimate. Her
sons got jealous and thought 1 was get
ting money that ought to go to them.
l do not care to go into my dealings
with Mrs. Tyson. l have carried out
what agreed, and if there is anything
wrong l hope justice will be dealt out
to me. l came up from my southern
ranch about a month ago and these
boys kept after me until they have
landed me. There was no agreement
of marriage. The young man, Ray
Ashberry, who was arrested with me-,
has absolutely no connection with the
case.
Despite the Doctors denials the
positive statement of Mrs. Tyson made
to Justice Sandholt of Centerville was
that Proctor had obtained money and
jewelry under promise of marriage.

reason of the Melrose explosion in

Judge ogden and it must proceed with
the trial and make it's defense.
Attorney G. r. Lukens endeavored
to gain nonsuit on the ground that
the case had already been twice
passed on by the Supreme Court. At
torneys Stanley Moore and Emil Nus
banner, however, held that the point
they are now making has never been
passed upon. They allege that the
company by building a magazine.
without any protection in case of an
explosion, was negligent and Judge
ogden in denying a nonsuit stated
that he believed it was a proper mat

TO TEST THE
PRIMARY LAW
Socialists Would Stop COun-
Gil From Calling Election
Under Present Conditions
Oakland Office San Fancisco Call
1O16 Broadway. Dec. 20.

1Ol6 Broadway, Dec ~
An order directed TO the City Council
20 show cause why it should not be
enjoined from calling a primary election
TO be held January 81 was made
by Judge Melvin to-day upon the rep
resentation OF N. Lesser, recent candi-
date for Congress on the Socialist
ticket. It is contended in his statement
that the primary election law under
which the call viii be made is in viola
tion Of the constitution Of the State OF
California OF the United States. The
order was issued and made returnable
Friday, December 3.
Acting for the Socialist party il is
proposed by Lesser TO test the validity
of the present primary election law and
10 this end he viii take an appeal TO
the Supreme Court II necessary. It is
claimed that the constitutional proyi-
sion which requires a secret ballot is
practically nullihed by the present
primary law and is a protest on the
part Of the smaller parties against
what they deem the unjust effect OF the
primary law upon their conventions.
Lesser as a taxpayer protests against
the expenditure Of money for conduct
ing a primary election. So far every
primary election law has been declared
Unconstitutional by the Supreme Court
and il remains TO be seen if the present
one is an Improvement upon its pre-
decessors.

More grief was added to the already
full and overfowing cup of George A.
Waterbury when Justice Edgar this
morning dismissed the charge of bat
terry against s. ]. Hankins and Percy
Belts in connection with the spectac-
ular row between Waterbury and his
four daughters last week.
Waterbury gained fame as the cit
izen whose daughters objected so
strenuously to his proposed marriage
to Mrs. Mary Crump that they locked
him out of his own home on Prince
street and then removed all the furni-
ture, so that when he came back to
Berkeley from San Francisco with his
new bride ii was to find his house
empty and his daughters missing.
When hostilities between Waterbury
pere and the daughters began last
week the young women found defend
ers in Messrs. Hankins and Belts who
helped them hold the fort against
Waterbury. The aggrieved parent
came to blows with these two men,
then swore out a warrant charging
them with battery. To-day he could
not prove that they had battered him
appreciably and Judge Edgar, con-
Guiding that it had been a case of
rough house which might properly be
decided as a draw, dismissed the
charge and Waterbury's four daugh-
ters, with Belts and Hankins, left the
court in triumph. Waterbury's furni-
ture, under the care of his daughters,
continues to elude him.
