BROKEN STRAND
CAUSES CRASH
Defect in Cable Makes
Haight-Street Car a Dan
gerous Runaway OH Market
TRAFFIC rs SUSPENDED
For Two Hours City's Great
Thoroughfare Is Blocked
and People Have to Walk

A shaggy strand in the Market street
cable played havoc with the passenger
traffic Of the United Railroads late yes
terday afternoon and for time put
the company out Of business. AT 5:2O
o'clock a Haight street car, travelling
eastward, picked up a strand in the
cable opposite Fourth street and sec
ond later the car was speeding toward
the Union depot at lively clip.
The gripman, quickly realizing his
predicament, shouted a warning to the
car in advance of him to keep moving
and frantically endeavored to shake
his grip loose from the obstruction.
The strand had. however. firmly tight
ened itself on, the grip and all efforts
to cast it off proved Of no avail. AS
the car proceeded in its flight police
and pedestrians along the route pre-
ceded it shouting to people to keep
clear and between their cries and the
changing of the car bell many were
prompted to believe that the carmen's
strike was on and that riot had de-
veloped.
Fortunately the car crossed Kearny
and Montgomery streets without ac-
cident, and by that time the cars in
advance, having been advised of the
danger behind them, availed them
selves of the grade, cut loose from the
cable and began tobogganing toward
the city front, thereby increasing the
distance between themselves and the
Haight street car. Meanwhile several
frightened women aboard the runaway
car jumped from the platform of the
latter into the arms of willing rescuers
and a telephone message was sent to
the Valencia street engine house to
stop the cable, which was done just as
the Haight street car reached Main
street There the grip was released
from the strand and the cable again
started, but unfortunately as the
snarled portion of the latter neared
the ferry it encountered car No. 262
of the McAllister line and carrying it
forward dashed it into the rear part of
car Ill Of the Castro street system.
In the collision the forward truck of
out of place and the rear platform of
the Castro street car was badly dam
aged. Again the engine house on VAL
encia street was signaled to and the
cable was stopped until the wreckage
had been removed and the stray strand
cut from the cable. This work caused
delay of nearly two hours, when
traffic was resumed on the various
branches of the cable system.

TAKE FOOTPAD
AFTER BATTLE
Detectives Engage in Des-
perate Encounter With Ex-
Convict on Eddy Street
ROBBER DRAWS PISTOL
Bandit Charged With Re-
cent Hold-Ups in Mission
and the Shooting of Treese
ROBBER DRAWS PISTOL

In the capture of Jack Black, alias
Tom Callahan, accomplished after a
desperate fight in the presence of a
number of pedestrians on Eddy street,
between Powell and Mason, last night,
Detectives Freel and Bunner assert
that they have the footpad that has
been terrorizing the Mission for the
past month.
The detectives attribute to Black the
serious wounding of Elhammon j.
Treese, who, while in company with
Mrs. Alberta Butler, was held up on
the night Of March 26 on Twenty-sec-
ond street, near Dolores. Treese at
tempted to thwart the purpose of the
hfghwayman, by striking him with his
umbrella, whereupon the bandit opened
fire, seriously wounding Treese.
1t is also charged that Black was the
highwayman that raided Knox's gro
Gerry, S76-S Valencia street, a few
evenings after the shooting Of Treese
and that he was one of the two high
waymen that engaged in running
pistol battle with Policemen Walsh
and Skelly last Sunday night at Twen-
ty-third and Dolores streets.
Accordlng TO the story or the oetec-
tives, who have been working for some
time on the Mission hold-ups, the va
rious crimes were traced to the door
of Black, who has been living at Twen-
ty-second and Mission streets. The de-
tectives failed to catch Black at his
room, but after three days work they
encountered him last night on Eddy
street
When the officers attempted to place
the suspect under arrest Black drew
revolver. Before he could make use of
the weapon, however, the detectives
closed in on him! A desperate struggle
ensued, and Black was not subdued
until beaten almost into insensibility.
When searched at the City Prison
four handkerchief masks, two revolv-
ers, a tobacco pouch filled with car
tridges and large knife were found on
Black. The detectives assert that they
have positive evidence whereby they
will be enabled to connect Black with
the Mission robberies referred to.
Black is 80 years old. He has served
eight years in Folsom for grand lar
ceny. He was released three months
ago.

SECURES RIGHTS OF WAY
Quietly Preparing to In
wade Rich Territory Long
Held by Southern Pacific

The Santa Fe Company is preparing
TO carry out q threat, made many
months ago, TO make Sacramento a
terminal point OF one OF the California
divisions OF it's rapidly expanding
western system. Within the last SIX
months its agents have been quietly

ton OF the Sacramento and San Joa-
Quin rivers and UP the former, secur-
ing rights OF way and surveys between
Martinez and Davis. with the undoubt-
cd purpose OF getting into the capital
OF the State. Not only has the COM
pany secured a strip Of land along the
bay shore between Martinez and An
tioch, but IL has secured an option on
sn island opposite Cornwall, which its
engineers are now surveying, with a
view OF eventually establishing a car
ferry service across the mouths Of the
two rivers. This ferry viii be opep-
ated in connection with a line which
the company purposes building along
the high ground back Of Suisun, TO
Sacramento by way Of Elmira, Dixon,
or a point near there, and Davis.
The rights OF way have been secured
by a man named Buchanan, employed
by the Santa Fe. and they about tie
up the whole front on the south side
OF the bay and river between Mar
finez and Antioch. The Southern Pa
cifc Company now controls the land
along the north side Of the river,
which is paralleled by its road TO Sac
ramento. In acquiring its new rights
the Santa Fe will parallel the Southern
Pacific through a territory which that
company has held against all COM

meeting with its valley division near
Antioch and operating several boats
along the river, as it has already ar
ranged TO DO, the Santa Fe Will be on
an equal footing with its competitor to
demand its share of the vast amount
Of products annually shipped out Of

COUNTERFEITING TOOLS
IN THE PENITENTIARY
United States Secret Service Agent
Hazen Discovers Plaster Molds
and Other Apparatus.

Several pairs of plaster of paris
molds for the manufacture of counter
felt dollars have been seized by United
States Secret Service Agent Hazen
from the State penitentiary at San
Quentin. They had been taken from
prisoners entering the penitentiary
several years previous and had been
lying in a desk of the office of the
prison ever since. Secret Service men
make it a rule under their instructions
to confiscate all counterfeiting tools
and apparatus and send them to head
quarters at Washington, d. c., where
they are destroyed. The San Quentin
molds, Mr.. Hazen says, were of the
finest make.
Mr.. Hazen has written to the War
den of the State penitentiary at Fol-
som to surrender some molds and
other counterfeiting tools now in the
prison curio collection. He does not
think it proper that the penitentiaries
should be converted into kindergar-
tens for counterfeiters.

HACKMEN's STRIKE STILL ON.
Owners and Drivers Both Say That
They Won't Give In.


The hackmen's fight is on in earnest
and only the cabbies that own their
rigs were seem on the streets yester-
day. The stable owners declare they
will hold out for an indefinite period
and will make the drivers come to
terms.
The drivers feel confident, however,
that they can win out and claim that
already they have. gained a victory
over the owners.
Several owners. they claim, have
come over to their side and they are
more than pleased with the situation.
At a funeral yesterday an owner was
seated on the hearse and the hack
man requested him to give way to a
union man. A member of the family of
the deceased, himself a union man, re-
fused to allow a non-union man to
drive at the funeral and after some
argument the owner declared his loyal
ty to the union and the funeral pro-
ceeded.

takers to the contrary.
At the meeting of the San Francisco
Labor Council last evening Delegate
Bowlan of the Hack Drivers and
Teamsters' Union took the floor, COM
planning that the executives of the
council had not treated his union
squarely and that complaints from his
union were invariably ignored, while
complaints from other unions were al
ways looked into.
A heated argument arose and Bowlan
was ordered to sit down. A cry from
a hundred voices rang out "Sit Down -

The chairman took a vote to ascer-
tain how long the speaker should be

three minutes, and through necessity
