ABOLISH FREE
RIDING SYSTEM
Southern Pacific Traffic
Managers Decide to Make
People Pay on the Trains
Berkeley Office San Francisco Call.
2l4S Center Street, April 9.

Berkeley once san francisco Call.
PAS Center Street, April 9.
Free riding between stations on the
Southern Pacific Company's local trains
came to an end with this day. Gatemen
will go on duty on the trains to-mor-
row morning. and the system of free
rides that has existed ever since the
service began in Berkeley twenty years
ago will be forever abolished.
This step has long been contemplated
by the railroad people, and few days
ago the traffic management decided to
inaugurate a train gate system. The
gates have been on the cars for long
time and all that is necessary is to
supply them with gatemen. Two sta
tions, Rerryman and Dwight way,
have been established, and tickets will
be sold from them By agents. After
this any intending passenger on the
Southern Pacific trains must purchase
a ticket before getting on the train.
At Ashby station no ticket office
will be placed just yet. No reason is
given for this omission, but il is prob
ably on account OF the small amount
of traffic there. Passengers may get
or at Ashby and the conductor will
collect their fares. Fares have been
charged for some time between Dwight
way and I.orin station, SO these places
viii not be affected by the change, ex-
cept that passengers must get tickets
before getting on trains, not afterward,
as now.
Assistant Division Superintendent
Baker confirmed the story of this latest
move of the railroad company tonight
He said that it had long been contem-
plated by the traffic department of his
company and the final step did not sur
prise him.
The new order of things means a
hardship for school children, who have
been in the habit Of using trains to
carry them to school. 1t is just pos
sible that there may be a contest in
the courts over the change. for, ac-
cording TO the company's franchise,
riding within the city limits is to be
free. The Southern Pacific people, how
ever. seem to be willing to face the liti-
cation.
IT does not demand any great study
to discover why the railroad has un-
dertaken to charge fares. The Key
Route has been cutting into its receipts
ever since it was started and it is
doubtful If ii pays to run its fast
trains. The most CALLING thing, per-
haps, is the knowledge that it's trains
have been carrying people free from
all parts of town and feeding them to
the company's rival

BERKELEY. April 9.-The voices of
500 children were blended in song this
afternoon in the Greek open air the
ater at the University of California.
Five hundred is a large number. but it
seemed as if those little tots were only
a good-sized mouthful to the monster
in concrete. The immense stage looked
as if it had been sprinkled with
crowd Of pretty children in gay cos
tunes Of pink and white and blue.
The children occupied tiers of seats
rising from the edge of the stage, so
distributed that the boys and the
girls voices were blended harmoni-
ousIy. In the center there was a space
for the director. Mrs. L. V. Sweesy,
and often this was occupied by tots in
costumes. who presented pretty exer-
cises.
The children were all perfectly
trained. They might have been pro-
fessionals, for all anybody knew. The
voices were all in soprano, as all chill
dren's voices are, but this was the
charming part of it, The color Of the
pretty picture was heightened by the
appearance Of the primary children of
the Longfellow school in sailor hats OF
white and blue
To Mrs. Sweesy. superintendent of
instruction in singing in the public
schools. is largely due the success of
the concert She had entire charge of
the training of the 500 children and de-

FROM HOSPIT
Love Not Recognized as a
Panacea for the ALL

BOARD ISSUES EDICT'
Request of Aged Couple for
Permission to Wed Re-
suits in Quite a FurOr
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,

Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
Ills Broadway, April 9.
BY an edict of the Board of Directors
of the Kings Daughters Home, billing
and cooling must come to an end in
that institution and the hospitality of
the place barred to Cupid. The little
god is no longer free to discharge his
darts among the old people of the
home. 1t is strictly a home for in
curables, and loves treatment is not
in accordance with the most advanced
ideas existing at that institution.
The matter is the subject of serious
resolutions and whereasing in which
the board forever quenches the love
fires that may burn in the breasts of
the hopelessly afflicted.
The question was brought up by the
request of A. l.. Larkin, over 81, and
Miss Matilda Rudberg, 60, to join
hearts and hands in wedlock To this
request the board has made the fol-
lowing reply:
Resolved, That it is the sense of
this Board of Directors that marriages
between inmates of the Alameda
County Kings Daughters Home for
Incurables shall not be permitted, and
be it further
Resolved, That should any persons
while inmates of this home be mar
ried. such persons shall forthwith be
dismissed from the home.
Whereas, Two inmates of the Ala
media County Kings Daughters Home
for Incurables, viz: Mr.. a. l.. Larkin
and Miss Matilda Rudberg. have ap-
piled to the Board of Directors of the
above named institution for permission
to be married to each other and the
Board of Directors have deemed it ad-
visable TO refuse to grant such re-
quest. Therefore be il
Resolved. That in the event
of such marriage, we de-
mand the withdrawal of the said per-
sons from the institution; and all
money heretofore paid for their main
tenance and care, while inmates of the
home, be upon request returned to
those who have paid the same to this
institution"
Thus love has been banished from
the home.

girls. to whom Professor Moses re-
ferred as the vandals that had deco

get an apology they are going to Presi-

fessor Moses will not apologize, and
there you are.
The Pi Beta Phi girls set about to
secure a correction of the impression
that Professor Moses has made on the
minds of perhaps a million people as
soon as they saw the account of what
he said this morning. Mrs. Virginia
Gundry, the chaperone, wrote note
to Professor Moses explaining the
whole transaction. Then she tried to

next week. 1t may not be necessary,

that it made no difference with him
he proposed remaining in Davenport.
