WILLIAM j. GRAY ENTERS
THE MARSHALL CONTEST
Asks Court to Deny Petition of Her
Nephew for Letters of Guar
diauehiD

William j. Gray has entered the
contest for the guardianship of aged
Juana Marshall and her estate. Since
Mrs. Marshall made the charge to the
police several weeks ago that some
one had tried to poison her she has
been the principal in litigation the end
of which seems to be far distant
Gray filed an opposition yesterday
to the petition of Richard Marshall.
Juana Marshall's nephew, to be ap-
pointed as her guardian, and as prin-
cipal grounds of opposition alleges
that Marshall is not a fit and proper
person to care for the aged woman
He alleges on information and belief
that Marshall has caused Mrs. Mar
shall to draw $1,000 out of bank for
his use and that he has also caused
her to make wills and deeds in his IA
vor. He asks that in view of these al
legations the court deny Marshall's
petition for letters of guardianship
and appoint in his stead some person
not directly interested in her affairs

SECOND RECITAL
BY KREISLER
Is BRILLIANT

Fritz Kreisler gave the second Of his
recitals last night at the ST. Francis
Hotel under the auspices of the ST.
Francis Musical Art Society A large
and fashionable audience was in at
tendance and gave enthusiastic approx
al to the violinists programme. Chief
among it's numbers was the Mendels-
sohn concerto in E minor, an effort
brilliantly sympathetic and lovely in
all its phases. Bach finds Kreisler at
his noblest, and the Air was a charm
ing medium. The Tartini fugue, A
major, was another delicious perfor-
nance. and Dvorak's "humoresque''
was stubbornly redemanded and re-
peated An air of Goldmarck, the
"Chanson Sans Paroles of Tschaikow-
sky and Peppers "Elfentanz" were
other numbers; the Sarasate "Zigeun-
erweisen.'' played with brilliant pic
turesqueness and deviltry, crowned the
performance.
To-nights at the Alhambra is better.
The Devils Trilr' sonata of Tartini
will be worth going miles for, and that
noblest of all violin compositions, the
Bach "Chaconne. as Kreisler will
play it, will be worth crossing the con-
tinent for.

PLANNING NEW
EUREKA ROUTE
Proposed Bridge Over the
Sacramento River Is Part
of the Santa Fe Scheme
BIG EXPENSE SAVED
Line Will Extend Through
Lake County Joining Main
Road at Point Richmond

The announcement made yesterday
that the recently incorporated Oak
land and Marysville Railroad Com
pany, an acknowledged property Of
the Santa Fe, had applied to the Sec
retary of War for permission to con-
struct a bridge across the Sacrament
to River from Black Diamond in Con-
ira Costa County to a point on the So
lano County shore, a few miles south
of Birds Landing, has been followed
by a well founded report that this new
move. if successful, is part of a plan
to reach Eureka by an entirely new
route. 1t was learned yesterday from
a reliable source that the Santa Fe
engineers have for several months
been working on a proposed route to
the Northern California port that will
enable the company to eliminate many
of the difficulties that have been en-
countered in the original plans for
road UP the coast through the noun
famous and heavily timbered districts
of Mendocino and Humboldt counties.
In their reports concerning the
coast route the Santa Fe engineers
emphasized the fact that the build
ing OF a road in that direction would
entail an expense that has seldom
been experienced by the company in
it's extensions throughout the West.
The Southern Pacific Company, in
projecting a survey from Willis to
Eureka, with the idea of anticipating
the northern progress of the rival
transcontinental line. was also con-
fronted with similar difficulties and
the prospects of an unusual expense.
1t was these facts, it is said, that
prompted the Santa Fe to look for an
other and cheaper route, which they
finally found through Lake County.
According TO the reports in circula-
ton yesterday and which the Santa
Fe officials would not confirm but re-
tend its road north of Point Richmond
thence north to Eureka, cutting
through Mendocino County on the
eastern side. BY this means not only
will new territory be invaded, but an
immense saving will be made through
the fact that the company will not
have to establish and maintain ter
minals on the Marin County shore,
which would be the case if the line
from Eureka came down the coast
on the original survey and build and
operate freight and passenger boats
! to handle traffic by that route. By
way of Lake County the branch line
would cross the Sacramento on the
proposed bridg~ of the Oakland and
Sacramento road and finally connect
with the main line of the Santa Fe
Company at Point Richmond. The en-
tire project, it is said. is now under
consideration by President Ripley and
the directors of the Santa Fe.

j particularly to the provision made for
charging State toll at San Francisco On all
OF our shipments We pay State toll. whether
reaching over San Francisco Bay or by
that road running from Los Angeles through

It appears your honorable board did
not intend that State toll should be collected
on shipments not crossing the bay.

that the hardware company should
lodge the protest with the company
that renders the bill of charges.
The request of Commissioner Aigel-
finger of the Board of Public Works
