that city completed arrangements with Pres
ident Roosevelt and Secretary Shaw today
by which about s12 1000 900 of government
money will remain on deposit with san
Francisco national banks. with the munic-
ipal bonds of that city as security No d.
rect promise could be made by the Pres
ident and Secretary Shaw as to how long
the money will be allowed to remain, but
there was a tacit understanding that the
treasury officials will not call for the money
until 1t is needed by the government AS
this may not be COR many years. there Is
practical assurance that the deposits VIII
stay with the banks for period that VIII
be Of value In the rebuilding of the de-
stroyed city.
The delegation today was headed by ex-
Gov Franklin Lane and Judge w. w. Nor
row They told the President that the most
important thing was to have the deposits
remain as long as possible, and to have
them secured by San Francisco bonds. or
which there Is q large sum In the city treas
ury unissued and awaiting favorable mo-
ment to come upon the market The san
Francisco banks will now purchase the
bonds from the city at a good figure. ana
use them to secure the money that is OBJ
tained from the government. This Will re-
lease the government bonds that are now
held by the treasury as security for de-
posits.
The San Francisco people believe that
they will be able to bring about an ar

San Francisco can become the depository
for large sum of money to be used in re-
building the city. The plans for this are
now being worked out.

TRACKS FOR UNION STATION.
Senator Hansbrough Offers His Tax
Bill as Amendment


The bill to authorize the local street rail-
way companies to extend their tracks to
the new union station was called up In the
Senate today by Mr.. Gallinger. chairman Of
the committee on>the District of Columbia.
The bill being read. Mr., Hansbrough Of
fered his amendment, providing that the
local utility corporations shall pay tax Of
IL per cent OF their net earnings In addition
to the taxes they now pay.
Upon this amendment being read, Mr..
Hansbrough said the tax proposed is less
than that paid by citizens. He said they now
pay less taxes than similar companies else
where. In his own state OF North Dakota,
he said. they pay more. His amendment
provides that the corporations shall not
pay more than citlzens-1h per cent in any
event. The stock and bonded debt OF the
railroad companies, he said, is $4D.00o,0oO.
and their taxes amount to one and one
tenth of 1 per cent.
Senator Gallinger said the bill under
consideration is TO extend the street rail
roads to the union station, but the
amendment proposes to use this bill to
increase the taxes on the telephone. cleo
trio light and gas companies.
Senator Hansbroughs statement that
taxes on railroads In the city are smaller
than elsewhere was combatted by Sem
ator Gallinger. who said that the entire
tax amounted to 5.54 per cent OF the
gross receipts OF these roads. Most OF
the states. he said. have less tax than
this.
As chairman of the District committee he
said he had great responsibility in this
matter although he would be glad TO be re
lieved OF that responsibility. The proposed
extensions to the new union station would
cost $500. 600. and he did not believe the
railroads should be burdened with any
further tax at this time, as they would not
receive any further income He moved to
lay the Hansbrough amendment on the Ia
BILE, but, being appealed to, withdrew the
motion temporarily.
Senator Hansbrough read from pam
phlet showing the taxes paid by street ratl-
way companies In Toronto. Canada. On
81 100000 gross receipts he said that they
paid per cent. and on $l.5000oo gross re-
cent, and on $3O00.OO0 Is per cent. and all
over $4,000. 900 20 per cent. The gross re-
ceipts In the District last year. he said, were
&c. 700 COO and they pay per cent
Senator Patterson then delivered speech
chiefly devoted to municipal ownership or
public utilities, declaring that no city WAS
better prepared for such ownership than iS
Washington He said that Congress should
at least provide uniformity OF taxes UPON
corporations and upon citizens. He de-
clared that the presence of privately owned
public utilities in any city Is always ac-
companied by corrupt use of funds
among legislators.
He continued to speak upon public own
ership until 2 O'Clock, when the Panama
canal bill became regular order and the
street railway bill was laid aside until the
discussion on the canal bill should be con-
cIuded Late this afternoon Senator Pat
terson will probably resume his speech on
the subject of public ownership.

McCALLA Is RETIRED.
Something of His History In the
NAVY.

The American navy today loses one of its
most prominent figures in the retirement
from active service of Rear Admiral Bow
man II. McCalla, at present commandment
of the navy yard at Mare Island. Cal, and
since 1861, except for an interval In the
early COS. an important unit in the make
I'D of the personnel of the maritime fighting
force Of the United States.
There are few officers of the navy, either
on the active list or retired, who have a rec
ord equal to that of Rear Admiral Nc
Gala In Cuban waters during the war with
Spain, in the Philippines during the insur-
rection, and In China at the time of the
Boxer troubles Admiral McCalla won dis
tinction and was rewarded highly. A strict
err disciplinarian perhaps never served In
the navy, but at the same time Admiral
McCalla Is a favorlte with the enlisted
men, and when there was fighting to be
done McCalla could always get IT out OF
those whom he commanded

FRENCH MARRIAGE REFORM
Proposed to Make Il Term nf Two Years
End Allow SennrntiOn Then.

Paris, July 1.-The French Marriage Re
form League has decided to lay before the
Chamber Of Deputies The draft of "A bill
reforming the existing marriage laws.
The proposed reforms may he said to
begin and end in the divorce court.
Women are to he placed on an equal
footing with men, and divorce. which is
to be made easy for both seXcs. will be
granted under two separate headings.
In tho first place a clause in the draft
provides for a divorce for some specific
reason. Drunkenness Insanity, and sem
tonces to penal selvitude for some Grim
ina! offense are TO he added to the legal
reasons for which d divorce can be grant
ed
ON the other hand, the existing law
which provides that wife may obtain
a divorce for ill-treatmcut would he abol-
ishci under the proposed reforms, so
that a husband, presumably, could beat
his wife persistently without the wife be-
UG able to get n divorce.
The most striking suggestion, however,
is that n divorce should he granted with
out any apparent reason, provided that
both parties make formal legal request
for divorce and persist In this request for
a period of two years. In all such cases,
however, two years must elapse before
the decree is made absolute.
The reformsrs 20 so far as to propose
that after this probationary period of two
years divorce may be granted without
Amy specific reason on the application of
either one OF the parties, even should the
other party be opposed Ia the decree.
Needless to say theso proposals are
the subject Of much criticism, because
under such n law no marriage would be
absolutely binding for a longer period
than two years.
