BY SPECIAL TRAIN
Woman Said to Be Mrs. Kip
Has a Very Close
Call.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

YUMA, Aug. 4.-The bringing into
Yuma or board the special train Of
General superintendent r. H. Ingram
of the Southern Pacific of an uncon-
scious, we'll dressed and apparently re-
fined woman has developed a mystery
which involves, according to his own
story, nephew of the late Bishop Kip.
According to Engineer Johnstone, who
was bringing the special from Salton,
where Superintendent Ingram and
party of Southern Pacific officials had
been called, it was by the narrowest of
margins that the woman escaped being
ground to death under the wheels of
the train. Superintendent Ingram or
dered the woman to be placed on board
and taken to Yuma. On the way the
woman regained consciousness long
enough to exclaim Il want to kiss my
husband; 1 want to kiss my husband"
Then she relapsed into unconsciousness.
The woman had arrived at the South
ern Pacific hotel the previous evening
in company with a tall athletic and
addressed man, who registered as
Mr.. and Mrs. Kip, San Diego" In con-
versation with Proprietor Virgins of
the hotel to-day Kip claimed that he
was lawyer and a nephew of Bishop
Kip of the Episcopal church of Cali
fornia, who died several years ago.
s 1t afterward transpired that the man
Claiming to be Kip had had a violent
quarrel with the woman. He was later
located on an Indian Reservation and
locked up for disorderly conduct.

The possibility of improved State regu-

hope.
a committee of four attorneys who
have made a study of the life insurance
laws was appointed to look into the ques-

regular committee at the end of two

The committee members will confine

classed as interstate commerce and thus
come under the jurisdiction of Congress.
If the decision is reached that the Iegis-

measures for securing a constitutional
amendment will be considered.
There are now two bills for the Fed

Congress, one fathered by Congressman
Morrell and the ether by Senator Dry

FOR FIRST TINE
Russell Sage Celebrates His
Eighty Ninth Birthday
at His Summer Residence
Special Dispatch to The Cali.

NEW YORK, Aug. 4,-For the first time
since his entrance into Wall Street, Rus
sell Sage celebrated his birthday away
from his beloved office to-day. The bur-
den Of eighty-nine years and the inroads
of his recent illness combined to induce
the aged financier TO turn his back upon
his ancient business associates and meet
Father Time in the seclusion Of his sum
mer residence in Cedarhurst, Long Island.
And so it transpired that the friends Of
yore, who for more years than most men
can remember, have greeted Mr. Sage in
his office upon each recurrence of his
natal day, were disappointed when they
called to-day to congratulate him upon
attaining his eighty ninth year.
James Talcott. an old time dry goods
man, and Charles RidgeIy, a banker of
Springfield, O., were among the two score
intimates of Mr.. Sage who called. Mean
while the object of so much solicitude
was quietly enjoying the day with Mrs.
Sage and a party of intimate friends at
Cedarhurst. He went down early in the
day and presided at an informal dinner
given in his honor.

BOAT WITH SOCIETY
PEOPLE TAKES FIRE
Explosion Occurs After the
Vessel Strands in San
Diego Bay.

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 4,EMore than two
score of society people of this city had
a genuine scare and for a. time were in
actual peril this evening. They started
to cross the bay in the house boat Lady
Moulton for the purpose of attending a
dance at Tent City. At the entrance of
Glorietta Bay, on the Coronado side, the
Lady Moulton went aground. While the
engine was being backed in an effort to
get her afioat again there was an explo-
sion of gasoline and the boat took fire.
1t was useless to try to fight the flames
with water, so wet cushions. blankets
and even coats were used by the men in
the party.
They succeeded in putting out the
fire and then there was a prospect that
all hands would have to remain on the
partly burned craft the rest of the
night, for the people on the shore sup
posed that the boat was anchored and
had no inkling of what had occurred.
By good luck, however. about IL
o'clock a launch came within hailing
distance and took the party ashore.

EFFECTS
OF THE STRIKE
Northern Roads Are Hay-
ing Great Difficulty in
Moving Their Trains

ST PAUL, Aug. 4.-Altheugh, con-
ditions approaching tie-up have not
yet developed as a result of the strike
of telegraDheEs on the Great Northern
and Ncrtheril Pacific railroads, in
creasingly serious delays are being
caused in the tmoving of traffic. To-
night the 4ffect of the strike was be-
coming manifest in the moving of pas
senger trains, which the. officials by
strenuous efforts have been able so far
to keep practically on schedules. In
formation given out at the Union sta
tion in st. Paul shows that while nearly
all the morning trains of both roads
were on time, midday and afternoon
trains have been coming in at all hours.
What the outcome of the freight
situation will be is problematical The
railway officials say that they are TAX
ing all the business offered and will be
able to take care of it. The operators,
however, are aware of the difficulty
with which freight is being moved and
predict that when the heavy movement
of crop begins presently the tie-up will
be realized Perishable freight was re-
ceived to-day in many cases without
prepayment and refrigerator cars
started in an attempt to make local
QellVeTl6S where pOSSiDie INO
tees are being made to deliver at points
where stations have been closed. Iron
ore traffic at the head of the lakes is
moving without delay.
Reports from official sources on the
number of union deserters and the
number of stations operated vary wide
ly. General Manager Horn of the
Northern Pacific and General Superin-
tendent Slade of the Great Northern
say that they are continuing to get
men from the union ranks, and Presi-
dent Perham declares that these state
ments are greatly exaggerated in each
case.
Numbers of stations are being opened
on both roads. clerks from the general
Office of the roads and, other employees,
besides dspatchers being used TO aug
ment the ranks of the strike breakers.
Those who are n OF photographers are as
signed to smaller stations to take care
of the freight and express business.

Electric Road to-
San Jose.
Special Dispatch to tn. cau.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Aug. A.
The interurban electric railroad. which is
in course of construction and which will
connect San Mateo and Los Gatos, has
selected route which will cross the
Stanford estate. Work has begun here on
the survey. Sanction from the Board OF
Trustees has; been received and the course
will be laid through the stock farm pass
ing in proximity TO Lake Lagunitas and
the university.
Significance is attached to the matter as
it is one of the first indications of the
change in the policy of the management
of the university. Mrs. Stanford is known
to have expressed a decided disapproval
of allowing any railroad to cross the
estate. -. 80
Upon the completion of the line cars
will be run through from San Mateo to
Los Gatos. From the latter point a line
is already in operation connecting it with
San Jose. The new road will mean eiec-
trio service between San Francisco and
the university as well as San Jose. The
road will meet with favor throughout the
country affected, as competition in rail-
road rates is looked forward to.
