Meanwhile the mountain shrubs distilled
Their sweetness all along my way,
And the delicious summer day
My heart with rapture overfilled.
At length the topmost height was gained:
The other side was in full view;
My dreams-not one of them was true,
But better far had 1 attained.
For far and wide on either hand
There stretched a valley broad and
fair,
With greenness flashing everywhere
A pleasant. smiling, homelike land.

SANTA FE COMPANY is
TO BUILD RIVER BOAT
New Vessel to Be Used in Hauling
Shipments of Northern Califor-
mia Fruit

Competition between the Southern
Pacific and the Santa Fe companies
for fruit shipments originating in the
Sacramento Valley promises to be
keen this year. Last season the Santa
Fe Company, believing that it was en-
titled to a larger share of the business
than it had been receiving, invaded
the Northern California territory, and
before the end of the shipping season
II had established agencies at va
rious points along the river and was
picking up considerable business.
This year the Santa, Fe intends to
increase its facilities for handling the
fruit product of Northern California,
and J. S. Leeds, manager of the COM
pany's refrigerating car service who
arrived from Chicago several days
ago, is now looking for suitable boats
which he intends to charter for river
traffic. Yesterday Manager Leeds
stated that the Santa Fe Company
will soon award a contract to one of
the local ship building firms for the
construction of a sternwheel river
boat. which will be hurried to COM
pletion in order that it may be ready
for service at the opening of next
years fruit-shipDing season.

the charge until advised by them. AT
this Hutton exclaimed, Well, I'm
ready to go ahead with the case"
Ellis replied that he had no attorney
to represent him and that Bowes and
Andrews of the Grand Jury and Dis
trict Attorney Byington had instruct
ed him not to talk. Ellis was granted
a continuance of one week.
The cases of Sergeants FRAZIER and
Brophy and Patrolmen Doran, Heinz,
O'Brien, McGrath and Mum, who are
also charged with being connected
with the corruption in Chinatown
were also continued for one week.
Commissioner Hutton again said that
he was ready to proceed, but changed
his mind when the counsel for Ser
geants FRAZIER and Brophy said they
were ready to answer the charges.
Police Captain Duke submitted
report on the Old Poodle Dog, at Bush
street and Grant avenue, showing that
the place is used as a restaurant and
hotel, and that there are closed boxes
with doors, and pianos in many OF the
boxes. Everything was orderly and
the pianos were not allowed to be
played after 1 a. m. The commits
sion reported that the petition for
a renewal of the license would be con-
sidered provided the doors were re-
moved from the boxes and curtains
substituted.
The same condition will be required
in several other restaurants whose IL
censes expire in short while.
Among them are the Bay State, New
Poodle Dog, Jacks Rotisser1e. Tne
Pup, Delmonico's and Marchand's.
Policeman William F. Buckley,
charged with being off his beat In the
Richmond District for an hour,
proved to the satisfaction of the COM
mission that he failed to hear his SER
geants whistle owing to the high
wind blowing at the time.
Seven hundred and twenty-seven
peddIers' licenses were favorably re-
ported. Pedlar and Keeler, who con-
duct a saloon at Seventh avenue and
Fulton streets, accused of allowing
dice-shaking for money, proved that
the customers were tossing for drinks.
Thirteen retail liquor dealers In the
italian quarter were refused perm1s-
sion to hang curtains before the
booths In their places Of business.

TWO POLICEMEN
CONFESS GUILT
Admit They Accepted Money
From Chinese Games and
Arrests May Follow Soon
GRAND JURORS BALKED
Revelations Looked For Not
Forthcoming Chan Che
ung Spirited From Home

The police committee Of the Grand
Jury had conference last evening to
consider future plans for investigation
of the charges of corruption in China
town. They are working quietly and
may bring matters to a head by caus-
ing arrests to-day.
Two policemen, Henry Heinz and r.
r. O'Brien have admitted to the COM
mittee that money was given them by
the agents of gambling games in
Chinatown. The Chinese are very in
sistent that patrolmen shall accept
gifts of cash in order to feel more as
sured that their unlawful operations
Shall not be molested and Heinz and
O'Brien were induced to take the
money. The contributions they re-
ceived are believed to have come from
the collections of So per table that were
made from the tan games.
Further than these admissions of the
two policemen the committee has
gathered no important evidence.
Heinz and O'Brien implicated no
other policemen. They asserted
positively that they were not
in league with any one They testi-
fed that they received no secret in
structions from Chief Whitman or from
Sergeant Ellis, who was Immediately
in command of them, not to disturb
the games. The only instructions they
knew of were those issued in written
form by the Chief.
Every ether member of the China
town squad called before the commit
tee denied that he had ever accepted
cent from the Chinese gamblers Not
bit of discriminating information was
cleaned from them. It transpires that
the information Sergeant Ellis gave
the Grand jurors was of vague char
acter, but in following 1t up the ad-
missions were obtained from Heinz
and O'Brien.
Having definite evidence that money
is paid TO policemen in Chinatown the
members of the committee hoped that
this would give them lead to much
bigger revelations. Progress has been
very slow thus far, however
Monday night Foreman Andrews and
his colleague, E. ]. Rowes, proceeded
to Chinatown quietly and took Chan
Cheung, a well-to-do merchant, into
custody. They kept him in hiding all
day yesterday and refused to divulge
his whereabouts to his frantic wife.
Chan Cheung's attorney, Frank V.
Bell, threatened habeas corpus pro-
ceedings, but Foreman Andrews asked
him not to do anything till this morn
ing at II o'clock. The Chinaman is
supposed to have given the bribes to
the police.

Fats fault. but the miserable inef1i-
cheney of the special telephone SER
vice in the Celestial quarter that pre-
vented Chung Fow communicating
with Suey Fat by wire, and to the
central station he went with determi-
nation to get either the desired switch
or his wasted nickels refunded. The
chief operator said he could have
the switch by adding another five
cents to his outlay. and Chug Fow
cheerily subscribed the coin, because
he considered meeting with Suey Fat
worth much more money than he had
already invested to accomplish that
end.
You sittee down, dlop um nick an
waitee,' quoth the chief operator, and
Chung Fow obeyed. He waited, with
receiver placed to ear while the chief
operator pulled out and inserted plugs
and shouted until theater time loomed
nigh and still no word from Suey
Fat could he obtain. And the door
of the playhouse was open and the
most desirable seats had been sold
when the chief operator finallI re-
linquished as hopeless his endeavor to
raise" Suey Fat and turned to Chung
Fow and said:
mo dam usee. 'Phlonee bloke. Go
way"
Chung Fow did not go away. but
demanded restoration of the cash he
had deposited in the corporations

for his loss of time and temper. He
was laughed to scorn. and then he
plucked a telephone from it's fasten-
ings and hurled 1t through q window.
