Senator Plat, his son, Frank H. Platt

This time she alleges that govern

CAR RUNS DOWN
CHILD. AT PLAY
Four Year, Old, While Throw
ing Ball, Ground Beneath
Wheels on Mission Street

Death rode on the wheels of a Mis-
sion-street car yesterday afternoon
and crushed out the life of little four
year-old Rudolph Furrer, who was
playing in front of his home at 2732
Mission street. The accident occurred
at 4:3O o'clock in the sight of many
people who were powerless to prevent
the tragedy. Many rushed to remove
the frail form from beneath the heavy
car trucks. and soon hundreds were
crowding around. For thirty minutes
men worked desperately to extricate
the child from the running gear, while
the frantic mother pleaded to be al
lowed to go to her baby.
The car, No. 1143, was going south
on Mission street at fair speed. The
boy was playing ball with two com>
panions. According to the statement
of Motorman Frank Reynolds the lit
tie fellow turned and darted directly
in front of the car, which could not
be stopped in time to save him. Po>
licemen Edward Davey and B. Kelle>
her were soon on the scene, and while
Davey led in the work of recovering
the body Kelleher took Conductor c.
A. Rollins and Motorman Reynolds to
the Seventeenth-street station, where
the latter was charged with man.
slaughter.
by the time the car was llrted the
child was dead. and 1t is presumed
that he was instantly killed. A hasty
examination showed severe laceration
of the scalp, fracture OF the skull and
several broken ribs.
The only eyewitness to the whole
accident was Mrs. E. w. Liberty of
273S Howard street, who confirmed
the motorman's statement that the
child was playing near the track and
ran in front of the car. w. w. Willis
of 311S Fulton street and T. ]. O'Neilf
of 219 Eddy street saw the car strike
the child and ran to his assistance.
Frank Furrer. the father, works in
South San Francisco. He returned to
comfort his wife, who sat in the front
room at their home with little Ru-
dolph's older brother and two older
sisters. The body was not taken to
the Morgue.

THREE PERSONS
SJfFOCATED
Two Elderly People and Sew
enteen- -Year-Old Boy Are
Victims of Poisonous Gas

Three deaths from suffocation by IL
Illuminating gas were reported to Cor
oner Leland yesterday.
Victor La Brie, the 17-year-old son OF
DR.. e. La Brie, was suffocated with IL
Illuminating gas last Sunday night in
his room at 1910 Mason street. He was
found dead in bed yesterday morning
with copy Of Sunday morning news
paper at his side. Gas was flowing
from partly opened jet. His death lis
supposed to have been caused by acci-
dent. either by carelessness in turning
off the flow Of gas or by a sudden
diminution of pressure in the pipes
while the boy was asleep.
The body of Mrs. B. Kelly was found
In bed yesterday morning at her home,
1892 Turk street, lodging-house kept
by her. Her divorced husband. Joseph
Bigin, who lived in the same house and
did chores for her, told the deputy. cor
oner that he traced the odor of gas
yesterday morning to the room occu-
pied by his former wife, and that on
forcing an entrance he found her dead
in bed, the gas escaping from an open
burner. He said that he and Mrs. Kelly
had agreed to be remarked soon.
Mr.. Randall, a lodger, who occupies

work. Janitor Semenza said that he
and two other men had removed the

STANFORD MAY
Be ONE CHOICE
Selection of Subjects for
Statues at Washington
lis. Theme for Discussion

Andrea Sbarboro, president Of the
Manufacturers and Producers Asso-
citation of California and also president
OF the California Promotion Commit
tee. says that he believes that Le-
land Stanford and either James Mar
shall or General Suffer by their SER
vices to California are better entitled
than any other two persons to be rep
resented in Statuary Hall at Washing
ton, ID. c., where each State will have
two statues of it's illustrious sons.
rms statement was made by Mr.. Sbar-
poro yesterday after he had read the
artlcle In The Call telling of the dis
cIssion begun concerning the choice
that California is likely to make.
George K. Fitch, who edited the San
francisco Bulletin for more than forty
years, said yesterday that probably
Junlpero Sierra, as an individual, exer-
cised as much influence as any single
lnulv1dual on civilization in Califor-
MIA. Marshall found gold. He was
not searching for it, however, but was
digging ditch when the gold was first
seen by him. His find attracted the
attention of the world. Junipero Sierra
had definite purposes He did lust
what he intended to do and the only
civilization that California had for
many years was that originating in the
teachings and example of the padres.
1t would take long time to think out
who were entitled by reason of excep-
uonal services to the State to be made
the subject of statues at Washington
as proposed. Many men had a claim
to memory, but which were the better
claimants he could not say.
Several men Of prominence were in
terviewed yesterday. but they had no
choice yet. 1t is evident that a great
field for discussion has been opened
up. Whether the pathfinders, the
goldfnders. the railway constructors,
the educators or the founders of edu-
cational institutions like James Lick
and Leland Stanford are the favored
ones will be talked over at length
from varied points of view. The gem
eral impression seems to be, from. con-
versations with thoSe who know some
thing about California, that there is
little doubt that Leland Stanford will
be selected as one of the subjects for
the statues.

COTTON PLANT
GOES TO WALL
Receivership Asked for the
Davis Mills, Located at
Fall River, Massachusetts,

FALL RIVER, Mass. Jan. a-Appli-
cation for a receiver for the Davis
Cotton Mills was made here to-day.
The Industrial Trust Company of
Providence holds mortgage for $780,
600 on the plant to secure an issue of

assets Of the corporation are placed
at $5S7, 1886. and the liabilities at s1,007,-
342.
The mills, in common with many
other concerns in the industry. have
had to meet unfortunate markets for
raw material and finished goods. They
are also involved in the operatives
strike. Judge Fox has taken the pa
pers in the receivership case in order
to consult other judges.
The failure of stockholders to nav
in full amounts to the capital fund
called for and losses In raw cotton
purchased during the high prices.
which followed the bull campaign Of
Daniel j. Sully, are supposed to have
contributed to the mills trouble, as
well as the tyingsup OF large amounts
Of money through the storage OF un-
marketable goods.
1t was announced this afternoon
that II the receivership plan is agree
able to the court as presented, Il Is
the intention OF the petitioners to hold

make rapid train movement possible.
The building will be absolutely hre-proof,
a minimum of wood being used. Its construc.
| ton will be of steel and concrete throughout,
the walls on the exterior being covered with
copper finished verdigris.
The station will be attractive from an
architectural point Of view, and numerous
new features are planned for the convenience
of the roads patrons. The main waiting
room will be one hundred feet square and
fitty-four feet high, with enormous windows
on all sides. From this will open the
women's rooms. smoking rooms, lunch room,
parcel and information rooms and numerous
other dependencies. The restaurant will be
on the second floor overlooking the water
with view up and down the river and will
be of suifi ient size to accommodate two
hundred people. A wide balcony projects
from the restaurant, for dining out of doors
in the summer.
A wide concourse will give access to the
second deck of the boats and this concourse
alone will hold thirty thousand people

compelled to pass through the main waiting
room. but may proceed through forty.foot

TWO ARB0R DAYS NAMED.

The Forestry Reservation Com

cured up to the present time 7oS,-
100 acres Of land, and are energeti-
cally engaged in the work of restora
ton and preservation of our forests.
Every good citizen ought to give
them encour 'gement and material
assistance by snpplementing their
efforts. Men, women and children
alike may plant trees, and many
places bare and barren may be made
beautiful and useful. The growth
OF trees is conducive to both health
and profit.
In order that all of our citizens
may take part in this pleasant and
praiseworthy duty, / do hereby de.
signate Friday, April I4th, and
Friday, April 2Sth, 1905, to be OBJ
served as Arbor days throughout
the commonwealth. Two days are
designated for the observance of
this duty. Inasmuch as the clima-

these days more favorable for the
purpose intended than the other,
the selection between them is left
with the citizens of the various
sections of the commonwealth"
