MAY CONSOLIDATE
CHS CONCERNS.
Company Headed by Leo
pold Michels Is Dickering
for Stock of the Central
WILL ENLARGE PLANT


A deal is now under way whereby 1T
is expected that the Central Gas and
Electric Power Company will pass to
the control of the San Francisco Coke
and Gas Company. Engineers in the
employ of the latter concern are look
ing over what remains of the Central
Gas and Electric Power Company's
plant on Stevenson street, in the. rear
of the old Emporium building, with a
view of determining just what can be
salvaged from the ruins. They have
already reported as their opinion that
there is available there for future use
between 100000 and $4,000 worth of
machinery, which, if the San Francisco
Coke and Gas Company effects the
pending deal. Will be removed to the
latter company 5 property at Beach and
Mason streets to form a nucleus of a
new electric plant in which electric
power will be manufactured by means
of crude oil.
The fact that the Sa.i Francisco Coke
and Gas Company is negotiating for
the purchase of the smaller company
VIII surprise many, for it was an
nounced j6st before the recent earth
quake that the Bay Counties Power
Company, of which John Martin and
Eugene de Saba are the principal fac
tors. had arranged to take over the
Central Company. Martin, on behalf of
his company, is said TO have agreed to
buy 10000 shares of the Centrars stock
at $6.25 a share. The transfer was to
have been made on May 15, but Martin
is reported to have refused to carry
outf his agreement. owing to the fact
that the company's property was sup
posed to have been destroyed. There
has been considerable correspondence
between Martin and the stockholders
of the Central and threatened litiga-
tion to enforce the fulfillment of the
contract. which the latter claim Martin
violated.
While this has been going on the
San Francisco Coke and Gas Company
has taken up the proposition of buy
ing the stock of the Central and has
employed engineers to look over what
remains of the companx's property.
Leopold Michels, president of the San
Francisco Coke and Gas Company.
stated at the st. Francis Hotel last
evening that a deal was under way
and that in all probability. if John
Martin did not take over the property
of the Central the San Francisco Coke
and Gas Company would He further
stated that his company is preparing
to enlarge it's plant on Beach and
Mason streets and intimated that a
bigger electric power plant would be
constructed in that neighborhood.

Are You Tired, Nervous

Nervousness and sleeplessness are u.s.
uaily due 70 the fact that the nerves are
not fed on properly nourishing blood;
they are st0rUod nerves. DR.. Pieree's

crease IN vitality and health are lostfnQ.
The trouble with most tonics and med
icines which have q large, booming sale
for short time, is that they are largely
composed OF alcohol holding the drugs in
solution. This alcohol shrinks up the red
blood corpuscles, and In the long run
greatly in3n lures the system. One may leel

yet in the end weakened and with vitality

SAYS SPECTATORS
OWN KLAMATH.

c. ]. Blanchard, a member of the
reclamation service from Washington.
D. c., is authority for the statement
that the development of the klamath
country will be hindered because of the
fact that land SPECTATORS have seized
upon hundreds of acres in this new ir-
rigation project of the Government
route for the East.
Il look for great development in
the klamath country" he said last
night, but this development will be
delayed because of the number of land
spectators who have secured fine
tracts there. They are holding this
land at from $25 to- $40 an acre. This
price will prevent many settlers from
coming to California and will retard
the progress of the klamath country
The Government will charge the set
tiers $25< an, acre for water, and this
amount. added TO the spectators price
for the land, will act to the detriment
of the purchaser. The news that the
Southern Pacific viii build through
klamath, as told in The Call on Tues
day, will greatly add to the value of
the land there -,
Blanchard was delighted with the
work of the irrigation congress at
Boise, which he attended I'VE ap-
pointed a publicity committee there"
he said, which VIII greatly aid Cali
fornia- This committee will place be-
fore the common people of, the United
States a. truthful report of the irriga-
tion country and Will help them get
land. The sacramento River project
also will be given publicity"

JAPANESE SEAL RAIDERS
CLEANED OUT ONE RoOKERY
Poachers at Pribyloff Island Organized
by Band That Looted Rob-
ben Bauk.

VICTORIA, B. c., Sept. 14.-Advices
from Hakodate. Japan. state that the
sealing raid on the Pribyloff Islands,
in which five Japanese were killed and
twelve captured, was an organized af-
fair planned by the two schooners in
volved, which had during 1904 and 1905
been engaged in raiding the Robben
and Commander Island rookerir s. The
patrolling of the Commander Island
rookeries this season by three Russian
warships had driven the Japanese
schooners to Bering Sea, and the raid
was organized for St. Paul.
During 1904 the Robben bank rook-
cry was cleaned out, 5000 seals being
killed, when the guards were with
drawn because of the war. and about
500 were killed in 1905.

FEUD OVER THEFT
CAUSES MURDER.

VALLEJO, Sept. 14.-Antone Ashley,
an employe of the Mare Island navy
yard. was shot and killed on Georgia
street, in the heart of town. early this
evening by Basilo Moro, as the result
of trouble over the arrest of Astley's
son this afternoon on the charge OF
stealing SO from the scow ON which
Moro lives.
Ashley and Moro met on the. main
business street early in the evening,
and 1t is claimed by witnesses that the
former began abusing Moro in violent
langua ge because of his sons arrest
and ended by suddenly striking Moro
and knocking him to the sidewalk He
followed this up by several kicks di-
rected at his adversarys prostrate
body, striking him two or three times
in the face with his heavy shoes.
Moro dragged himself partly beyond
Astley's reach and drawing a revolver
from his pocket, fired three bullets
point blank at Ashley, who stood over
him as he half raised himself from the
sidewalk. Two of the bullets took eff
fect'in Astiey's stomach and resulted in
his death half an hour later.
The street was filled with people
when the shooting occurred and the
killing caused considerable excitement
A policeman was within a short dis
tance and at once took Moro into Gus
tody. The mans face is badly lacerated
and shows the effect of the beating and
kicking he received during the encoun-
ter He would say nothing of the trou-
BILE except that the shooting was in
self defense.
Both men are well known here and
both. were employees of the navy yard.

The news that Spanish Kitty" who
for twenty years. conducted the dive
and dance hall at the corner of Kearny
and Jackson streets. had rented a fat
over 1905 Fillmore street, has Been the
signal for a general uprising Of the
residents of that section.
Spanish Kitty one OF the most per-
sistent -violators- of the moral code, will
be given a battle in the courts before
she is allowed to gain a foothold in
the section she has selected. The
woman came TO San Francisco many
years ago from Healdsburg- She has
been married several times and is
known 10 the police under the names
OF Kate Lombard and Kate Ellington.
The Strassburg music hall on the old
Barbary Coast was owned by her until
the fire. BY a thriftiness unusual in
her class she has succeeded in accum-
ulatipg a considerable fortune, a part
OF which she is now using to re-estab-
lish herself in her nefarlous calling.
RESIDENTS AROUSED.
The place she has selected is one Of
q row Of seven-room fats at the cor
ner Of Sacramento and Fillmore streets.
The adjoining fats are occupied by
gentle people, who cannot afford TO
have such a den as Spanish Kitty
will conduct centerec IN their midst.
DR.. Charles H. Bell, a dentist occu-
pying the corner fiat, learned that the
woman had secured a lease on the
property Thursday morning. He lost
no time in reporting the fact to Chief
Ot Police Dinan, who directed Captain
Mooney TO investigate.
The fat is still unoccupied, but q

is at work putting 1t in readiness for
its painted occupants Thousands of
dollars will be expended in furnish
ings. and when IL is completed another
palace of vice will be added to the rap
idly increasing number of such places
in the home section of the city.
Captain Mooney declares that he will
not allow an infraction of the law, and
If Spanish Kitty" attempts to open
such a place he will blockade it with
q posse that will at least serve to keep
away visitors.
MOONEY Is DETERMINED.
There was such a place in the same

efforts that it was finally closed He
is determined to urge crusade against

threats. He believes that when the
people become awakened to the danger
that menaces them there will be a re-
action which will result in a better and
purer city. His primary interest is in
protecting himself and his patients
from contamination and insult
The feeling of DR.. Bell is echoed in

to openly oppose the evil because Of the
threats of retaliation that have. been
made. There are enough public
