ANOTHER ROAD.
TO MARYSVILLE
New Company Proposes to
Connect City of Oakland
With the Northern Town
INCORPORATORS SILENT
Speculation Is Rife as to
Whether TranscOntinental
Project Is Contemplated

The Oakland and Marysville Railway
Company yesterday filed articles of In
corporation in which it is announced as
the intention of the new concern to
build a road between the points named,
a distance Of lis miles. The company
gives it's route as commencing at tide
water in Oakland and running norther-
ly and easterly through the counties OF
Alameda, Contra Costa, Solano, Yolo
and Sacramento to the city of Sacra-
mento. and thence in a general north
erly direction through Placer, Sutter
and Yuba counties to Marysville. The
capital stock of the company is $4,000
000 divided into 10000 shares. The in
corporators have subscribed the fol-
lowing amounts: Frederick w zeile,
100000; John D. Mckee, $4,000; John
Zeile, $4,000; w. B. Cope, $4,000; R. T.
Hooper, $4,000. F. w. Zeile is desig-
mated as treasurer of the company.
Much speculation has been aroused
over the real purposes of the Oakland
and Marysville Company and particu-
larly as TO whether it is the preliminary
move in some new transcontinental pro-
ject. r W. Zeile is president of the
Mercantile Trust Company and John
D. Mckee is cashier of the same cor
suppose that the Mercantile Trust Com
pany is acting in the interest of some
outside combination of capital. If an
Eastern road is contemplating reaching
Oakland it is generally conceded that
the route chosen by the Oakland and
Marysville Company is about the most
available. Whether the new company
has obtained terminal rights in Oak
land is a matter which the incorpora-
tors of the road will not admit. In fact
they have declined to give out any, in
formation further than is to be found
III the articles of Incorporation. In
discussing the matter Attorney Cope,
who filed the articles and who is named
as one of the incorporators, said the
company was organized for legitimate
purposes, but refused to intimate
who was behind the project or just
what property rights the company held
on the other side of the bay.

Nine Women Defendants Face
One Chivalrous Police Judge
Their Offenses Range Downward From
Assault to Plain Vagrancy

grievances were largely ina aginary, and
hinted that her hallucinations were OF
alcoholic origin.
T. ]. Nolan, electrician, residing at
465A Capp street, was chasing his
wife, Anita, at Sixth and Howard
streets last Tuesday night when he
tripped and fell over foot thrust out
by Special Policeman Castro. AS soon
as he regained his feet Mr.. Nolan
grabbed the officer and threw him
down, and after a brief scrimmage the
arrest was accomplished.
When accused of battery on the Pc
liceman Mr.. Nolan told Judge Mogan
that the pursuit of Anita was not in
! anger, but simply to give her physical
exercise, of which she stood greatly in
need, despite the fact that she was af-
f1icted with heart trouble. The officer,
however, informed the court that while
the hunt was in progress Anita was ap-
parently terrified and her husband en-
ragged. So the court pronounced Mr..
Nolan guilty as charged and promised
to prescribe his punishment to-day.
Six carloads of delayed passengers i'm
plored and threatened John VeTs. team
ster, but he calmly ignored their protests
and deliberately removed bricks from
his wagon one by one until the We
hicle was emptied. Then he started
to drive away, when Patrolman P. j.
McKenna placed him under arrest for
obstructing the highway.
1t was on Post street, near Leaven-
worth, that Vers blocked the street
railway until half a dozen cars were
congregated. He was unloading bricks
at building in course Of construction.
and for twenty-seven minutes his team
occupied the car track while he picked
l.
fully set them down alongside the
curb
When asked by Judge Mogan why
he so obstinately offended Mr.. Vers said
that the nod carriers had instructed
him to unload the bricks in a certain
way, and he considered obedience to
their instructions more important than
any inconvenience to which he might
put the travelling public.
Sentence deferred until to-day.
George Addison pleaded inability to
understand how he could reasonably
be accused of vagrancy as he was the
husband of an actress in a North End
music hall, who was perfectly willing
TO support him. Indeed, he hinted, she
preferred to have him abstain from
toll, as she earned enough money to
keep both of them in comfort. If the
court. which was Judge Mogan, enter
tained any doubt as to the truth of
Mr. Addison's statement there was his
marriage certificate to prove that his
provider was really his wife. The court
did not question the defendants claim
OF being a benedict, but considered him
a vagrant just the same, and will SEN
tence him to-day.
Bryan Collins, who robbed two work
men of their temporarily discarded
coats in Golden Gate Park, will be
sentenced to-day by Judge Mogan.
H. J. Woods, accused of vagrancy
said he was a student but Patrolman
Orr described him a cigar store statue
at O'Farrell street and Grant avenue"
and Judge Mogan took the officers
word for it. Sentence to-day.

constitutions. AS to the Federal constitution.
it is we'll settled that the right of suffrage and
conduct of elections under the exclusive
control of each State. except so far as such
control is limited by the fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments neither of which. in my view,
has any application to the at bar.
Tho argument that the provision in ques
tion violates the State constitution. in that it
greater force. But since the decisions over
throwing former primary election laws there
has been adopted an amendment to the State
constitution (article 2, section 2l5) the purpose
of which undoubtedly was to obviate the OBJ
jections which had been urged against the acts
heretofore passed That amendment author
ICES the Legislature to determine the tests and
conditions upon which electors. political parties
or organizations of voters may participate In
any primary election
] am not prepared to say that this does not
authorize the Legislature to provide that one
condition upon which a political party may
participate in such election is that IL shall
have demonstrated a certain numerical strength
by polling 3 per cent Of the votes cast at the
next preceding election. Furthermore. IL may
be remarked that, before the consttu-
tional amendment the judicial declaration
against the similar per cent provision in the
primary law of 1899 was not concurred in by
majority of the court in Britain VS.. Election
Commissioners. 129 Cal. S37
On the whole case, the argument against the
conStitutionality of the law of 1901 and sec
tion 64Ia of the Penal Code is not clear
that this court would be justified In declaring
either of said acts invalid.

their cases precedence.
The most serious charge was that
against May Parker. She stabbed Ed

of October 1 at their residence on Glenn

has become SO serious as to impel the
police to formally accuse her of as

the detectives say her spouse IS
