HEALTHY PLANTS

REQUIRE the MOST S1E ANLeHklOn dS
Well as Good Soil.
Did you ever see n roSebush which
despite the most beneficent environment
Of soil--of sunshine-and OF atmosphere
seemed never to achieve a healthy
growth.
A ton of manure will not help plant
that has canker eating out its heart.
You must destroy the cause before you
can remove the effect.
You cannot cure Dandruff and Bald
ness by rubbing on hair lotions, and
rubbing in vaseine, etc.
You must look to the cause of the
trouble-its germ at the roots OF
your hair which causes it to fall out.
Newbro's Herpicide destroys the germ,
and healthy hair is the sure result.

4. W. Foster Is Chosen to
Succeed Martin as
Executive.

In a formal way the control of the
North Shore road yesterday passed
from John Martin and his financial as
sociates to A W. Foster, president OF
the California Northwestern Railroad.
At meeting held in the offices of the
North Shore on Market street at
IL o'clock yesterday morning President
Martin and the other directors of the
road resigned. Ten minutes later the
following new officials we're elected to
the newly created vacancies: Presi-
dent, A W. Foster; vice president, P.
n. Lilienthal: second vice president,
A. W. Foster Jr.; directors-E- Scott,
J. W. Pew, James P. Bell, Wyatt H.
Allen, J. z. Doolittle and H. z. Bothin.
The latter director is the only one OF
the old directorate Of the North Shore
road who was reelected. Immediately
after the election President Foster is
sued a circular, in which he says:
Having this day been elected president Of
the North Shore Railroad Company. I desire 10
say that I have assumed the duties Of that
office and ask your cO-Opera ton 10 secure the
best results for the stockholders Of the COM
pany and for the public.
Although it is generally thought
among the railroad and financial men
Of this CITY that the election OF A W.
Foster to the presidency Of the North
Shore road is part of a plan Of E. H.
Hartman to consolidate the two roads,
of which he is supposed to have recent
ly gained control, President Foster yes
terday afternoon emphatically denied
that Hartman has any interest in
either Of the roads, and then added
I have control Of the North Shore and the
California Northwestern roads. The impress
sion that Hartman has any say in their man
agement IS erroneous. I have simply acquired
possession of the North Shore line believing
that it is a good property. and / will do my
best to improve it for the benefit OF the terri
tory through which II runs. 1 have never
worked for any man during my career in Cali
fornia and not doing at this late day.
The roads OF which I the head viii
be operated free from any outside influence
, and you can state that each viii have indi-
vidual management.
OF course some corners will have to be
trimmed but the officials OF both roads need
have no anxiety regarding their positions.
The recent appointment of James
Frazier to the position OF general man
ager Of the California Northwestern
Railroad gave rise 70 a report yester-
day that he would soon be chosen as
general manager of the North Shore
road in place of Manager Rank, but
President Foster denied that any such
change was contemplated. 1t is probable
that the local ticket Offices and the ac-
counting departments will be consoli-
dated as a matter of economy.
Regarding the new directorate of the
North Shore road President Foster said
that he had simply chosen a number of
his friends to I'LL the positions on the
board. In placing his son in the posi-
ton Of second vice president the presi-
dent Of the two coast roads is paving
the way for the young man to gain ar
education in the railroad business.

GRAND JURY LOOKS INTO
CASE OF COMMISSIONER
Listens to Expert TestfmNpy on Red
and Blue Rock in Case Of
Gray Bros.

The Grand Jury investigated yester-
day the charges OF Marc Augenblick.
the saloon man. who accused Police
Commissioners Reagan and Drinkhouse
OF attempting 10 levy tribute in trade.
A lengthy session was held, Commits
siOners Howell. Hutton and Reagan
being called TO the stand. The matter
viii be resumed at the next meeting.
but it is not probable that the accused
officials will be indicted.
The charges that Gray Bros. were
favored by the present Board Of Pub
lie Works were also taken up. This
investigation was enlivened by lee
lures on the respective values Of blue
and red rock by local quarrymen. The
accusation was that the boards speci-
fcations always called for blue rock
and that as Gray Bros owned the only
blue rock quarry they were benefited
by the exclusion of other contractors.
II was shown that the present city
administration is acting under an or
dinance passed during James D. Phe-
lan's first term as Mayor, which calls
for that species Of rock. Further con-
sideration Of the matter was held over
until next weeks meeting Of the
Grand Jury.

cover Wearing Apparel
ACCUSES LIZZIE FRAYNE
Female Burglar and Thief
BorrOWs Dresses and RObs
Girl Who Gave Her Aid

Lizzie Frayne, alias Blanche Black
well and other names, has another COM
plainant against her. The female thief
did a rushing business before the police
got her. Since her arrest Tuesday
night, not less than twenty people
have come to the front alleging that
the female burglar and petty larcenist
had robbed them of various articles Of
value.
Miss Marion Gellat. a waitress in the
Puritan restaurant, met Lizzie al a
dance at Scottish Hall a month ago.
A friendship sprang UP between the
two girls and when the dance was over
Lizzie accompanied Marion TO her
home, at 240 Oak street. Lizzie's
clothes were somewhat ragged and
Miss Gellat loaned her everything 10
wear but shoes and hat. Last night
Miss Gellat called at the Central sta
ton and told Sergeant Shaw that she
wanted her clothes back. This Black
well girl skipped out with all my
things" said Miss GeIlat Everything
she wears excepting her shoes and hat
is mine. 1 fitted her out with a tenn
pOrary wardrobe
Sergeant Shaw was puzzled 10 know
what Lizzie was going to do II she was
divested Of the clothes she did not own.
sam Rankin, the inner Office man,
rendered his old coat, but it was de-
cided that his donation would not serve
10 envelop a portly form. Sergeant
Shaw said that if Miss Gellat would
only wait until this morning he would
bring down some OF his servant girls
clothes. so that Lizzie might not ap-
pear in the nude with Sky piece
and shoes.
After a good deal Of engineering and
strategy on the part Of Sergeant Shaw
and Policeman Rankin. with the as
sistance OF Policeman Maurice Behan.
the matter was laid over for a day and
respectfully referred TO Chief Whitman.
Give me my coat, anyway" said
Miss Gellat, when informed that she
would have to wait until other wearing
apparel could be obtained for Blanche s
form
Blanche Blackwell is TO be tried on
numerous charges IN the Juvenile
Court. She viii probably be sent TO the

PATIENT RECOVERING
FL. YueL, Who Was Injured at
Oil Wells, May Owe Life
to Sacrifice of Others

Out at the Irving Sanatorium, on CAL
ifornia street, an interesting expert
ment in skin grating is being conduct
ed by DR.. Scott of McKittrick. The
operation is not a new one by any
means, but this is uncommon in two
respects-the cuticle being grated on
the patient is voluntarily furnished by
members of Willopa Tribe No. 133, In
dependent Order of Red Men, and the
space to be covered is greater than
usual.
About two weeks ago H. Yuel, a
workman employed at the Mekittrick
oil wells, had the misfortune TO be
caught under a fly wheel. which tore
the skin and flesh off his back from
shoulders to hips. Temporary treat
ment was given at the time and last
Sunday he was brought to this city
The doctor announced that the only
chance to save the injured mans life
was TO graft new skin on the injured
portion of his body. Volunteers were
called for to give up sections of their
cuticIe and members Of the order
named responded readily.
The work Of grating was begun
luOuudy anu Ids DEcu
ued at intervals since. Small pieces Of
skin usually about an inch square are
cut from the arms of the volunteers
and placed on the back of the patient,
where they readily knit. About $50
inches of skin will be required TO com
plete the operation. A number Of
friends of the injured man will visit
the hospital Sunday morning and con-
tribute of their skin to aid in his re-
covery. So far the operation has been
very successful and the patient is rest
ing as easily as could be expected un-
der the circumstances.
Among those who have aided by
parting with small portions OF their
persons were r. NJ. Parks. ]. Watt, AL
pheus Duffee, P. Cunningham, C. Gros-
bauer, P. Hughes, G. Allen, jeremiah

ACCUSES HIS BETROTHED,

Matrimonial Advertisement Brings
About Love at First Sight and
a misunderstanding.


II the case Of S. H. Smith Of Liver
more is a sample one of a man in love,
the grand passion" must be worse
than the jimjams complicated with
St Vitus dance.
Yesterday Smith applied for a war
rant for the arrest of Miss Irene Tur-
ner of 233 Taylor street. alleging that
she promised to marry him. Then she
advertised for another husband, ac-
cording to Smiths pitiful story. He
had given her $500 and a diamond
ring, he said, and he wanted dem
presents back"
He met her through a matrimonial
advertisement which she inserted in a
local paper. They met; they loved !;
they were engaged in about fifteen
minutes. Smith went merrily on his
way whistling the wedding march.
He met a friend. Smith told him
why he was the joyful kid. The friend
picked up a newspaper. An adver-
tisement for husband asked a sober.
industrious man to apply at the home
OF Smiths fiancee. Smith saws he sent
the friend to her and learned that Miss
Turner was still advertising for a
strong arm to protect her.
While Lewis Ward, the Warrant
Clerk, was hearing Smiths tale of woe
the betrayed man dashed back to his
betrothed- He begged her pardon.
How could be mistrust her after know
ing her fifteen minutes? When inter-
viewed late last night Miss Turner
said: Its all mistake. We are to be
married very soon."
