day:
The earthquake has not in the least
altered the intentions of the officers OF
the company. We are still determined
to push the work and do not intend to
waste any time figuring the probable
damage which the earthquake has
wrought. Probably in eighteen months.
or two years at the outside, we win

The work is progressing in a more
than satisfactory manner. Much of the
line is already graded and the material
for actual work has begun to arrive
pleted to beyond Cupertino. Several
cars of rails have already arrived and
some of these are at .Cupertino now.
We expect more material all the time
with which to push the line.
The right-of- for the. branch of

main line to Mayfield has been secured

RAID THE CAUSE
Of DISSENS|ON
Police Force of Alameda
Now Likely to Be
Investigated.
Chief Says the Arrest of
Chinese Was Not
Warranted.

ALAMEDA, June 9.-Dissension is
once more rife in the Police Depart
ment and in this instance is due to
the raid on the gambling dens of Chi
natown one night this week by Police
men z. A. Willing. Charles Moebus and
Theodore Anderson. who arrested six
MongoliaR pie cow players and cap
tured their outfit and $50 in cash.
Chief of Police John Conrad asserts
that the raid was in no wise authorized
by him; that the trio of patrolmen act
ed entirely upon their own responsible
ity, and that he believes the vigilant
policemen did not secure evidence suf-
acient TO convict the gamblers.
The head of the Police Department
goes further He declares that from
what he has learned the Chineses were
not playing a gambling game prohib-
tied by law, but were taken into Gus
tody for enjoying a sociable game of
dominoes when their pastime was rude
ly disrupted by the raiders. Chief
Conrad says that it will be up to the
arresting officers to prove their case
against the defendants, as they ar
rested the alleged law breakers with
out any orders from him.
Il have had officers detailed to watch
for gambling in Chinatown" said Chief
Conrad '-and they have not detected
any violations of the law. The situa-
ton is about this: Willing, Anderson
and Moebus thought that somebody else
might do something. They saw an op-
portunity to do something and did 1t.
natown. I DO not think they obtained
evidence that will convict the defend
ants. I understand that the Cinnamon
were playing dominoes. and there is
no law against that game.
Policemen Willing, Anderson and
Moebus say that they have evidence
they believe viii be sufficient to con-
produce the same when the proper time
comes.
City Justice R. B. Tappan released
the six Cinnamon on $40 bail each.
He passed the matter of issuing the
complaints against five of the Mongo-
lians along to Justice of the Peace F.
: Cone. The latter ma agiStrate, at the
request of Policeman Willing. issued
complaints against five of the China
men, the policeman swearing to the
complaints. The defendants are charged
with violating a State gambling law.
Justice Tappan says that he has the
case of the sixth Chinaman under con-
sideration.
Some months ago Police Sergeant Al
bert Kamp conducted lone raid on
the Chinatown gambling joints Chief
Conrad in that instance also disclaimed
any responsibility for Ramps act and
said that the sergeant in that case had
lnterfered with a raid that the Chief
asserts he had himself arranged.
1t is expected that the present trou-
bles in the Police Department will be
officially investigated by the City
Trustees
The Rev p q Macfarlane who ex-
posed alleged incompetency and cor
ruption in the Police Department four
months ago, announces that tomorrow
aight he will express himself on the
existing state OF affairs in police cir

Sions Are a Great
Success.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

SAN MATEO, June 9.-The free home
seekers excursions to San Mateo and
Burlingame instituted by the Board OF
Trade have proved an unqualified sue
cess. The visitors almost without ex-
ception have been persons of refinement
and of good position in life. such as
would be desirable additions to the
population Altogether the number Of
persons who came during the first three
days was about 1000. or an average of
about thirty-seven TO each car for each
trip. Three ears have been employed,
each making three round trips daily.
The committee finally decided to add
free buses to the arrangement. and
since that time all visitors have been
given chance to see the attractions
of San Mateo and Burlingame- Need
less to say, nearly all of them were
surprised at the Beauty and magnif1-
cence of some of the fine country homes
here. and are highly delightful with the
natural attractions of the country.
The work of advertising these towns
will not cease with the conclusion Of
the free excursions. but other plans
will be adopted to clfnch the good work
already begun. Literature will be CIR
culated and the local advantages
brought to the attention of homeseek-
ers in variety of ways. What has
been done will bear fruit for weeks to
come
The mere passing through the city of
these cars with their banners will re-
pay the cost, even IL no other results
are obtained As a matter of fact, how
ever, several families have already be-
come residents through the efforts OF
the Board Of Trade.

he ought to go to them. But still he

down the long gallery, with look OF
deep disappointment on her face She

chance was lost, utterly lost, Just be-

whom she had passed in the corridor,
outside the boudoir, experimenting the

face was quite pale, and she jerked out
