EAT BIC TURKEY
At WHITE HOUSE

Furnished the President
From Rhode Island.

WASHINGTON, Nov 29.-Thanks.
giving was day of rest for President
Roosevelt. In accordance with Gus
tom the executive offices of the White
House were closed for the day and the
clerical force given a holiday. Only
such official business as seemed Inn
perative was brought to the attention
Of the president.
Mrs. Roosevelt and the children
who are home on vacation attended
church services this afternoon. Later
in the day the president enjoyed his
customary horseback ride, in which
he was joined by several members Of
his official family.
The Thanksgiving dinner at the ex-
ecutive mansion was strictly family
affair. The dominant feature Of the
menu was q hugh gobbler, tipping the
scales at over 80 pounds and which, az
usual. was sent to the president from
Rhode island.
Numerous other fine turkeys were
received at the White House from vir-
ginia. Pennsylvania, Vermont and
other sections. As 1t was obviously
impossible for the presidents family
to eat all Of the birds the steward fol-
lowed established precedent and se-
lected the turkey from Rhode Island
to grade the White House board. The
other birds were distributed as gifts
among the married doorkeepers ana
other attaches Of the executive man-
sion.

and who saw the death struggle be-
tween A. Sasaki, the paying teller,
whose skull was fractured by a blow
from gaspipe wrapped In paper The
name of the woman is being guarded
by the police. They give her name as
Mrs. Clark, but admit that it is a fcti-
tious name. Her evidence is ofsthe ut
most Importance, as she is the only eye
witness OF the affair According to her
story, she saw the two thugs, one solid
and short of stature and the other slen-
der and frail of build, enter the place
One, the solid built man. went to the
managers Office in the rear of the bank.
The other engaged the paying teller in
conversation.

of the bank. The white man had some
thing wrapped in paper could not

about twenty eight are now in opera
ton in San Francisco. All but one
have arrived from Philadelphia. and
100 Of the 250 ordered in ST. Louis
will be in operation in January. These
st. Louis cars are specially designed
for operation in San Francisco The
Chicago cars were secured because
they could be sent here quickly. as it
was absolutely necessary to have more
rolling stock Immediately following the
conditions of April. They are me,
roomy cars in their way and serve 2
pressing purpose, but the tenders ae-
companying them were built in chi
cago and are not adapted TO grade con-
ditions In San Francisco We have
been building new tenders and fitting
them to these cars are rapidly as our
shops can turn them out 1t is ABSURD
to think that this can all be done IN
a day, and it is untrue to say that all
these cars are without tenders. reno
ers are being fitted to them as rapidly
as is possible under the circumstances
and within a short time all or them
will be so equipped. In the meantime
however, the streets are congesteo' the
cry is being set up everywhere LOT re-
lief, and tenders or no tenders, we are
obliged to run cars.
MILLION ON CONSTRUCTION.
''The millions l have referred to. II
must be remembered, have been spent
on cars alone. What else are we do
ing? Much, I can assure you. we
have now a thousand men employed
daily in the streets and have spent
over 100000 since April in construc-
tion work To relieve the congestion
that pivots about Fillmore street we
have constructed two new routes.
These will be in operation In day or
! two. One OF them. beginning at
Haight and Stanyan streets, continues

Drag Net Spread for Bank
Robbers by the Police.

Then his attention was drawn to the
open vault and the confusion of papers
about the place.
AS Kitashima entered the back room
he was staggered by the grewsome
sight that met his eyes For a mo-
ment he stood as one petrihed, for the
horror OF the situation quite overcame
him.
To the right of the door, sitting in
his chair as he had sat when attacked
by the robbers, was M. Murakata, the
general manager of the bank. Blood
was running from HIS head, while near
the. chair. almost behind It, was clus-
ter of brains which mad come from the
Wofnds on the mans head.
Behind the partition, apparently
dead, was lying the unfortunate Sasaki,
the paying teller of the bank. At his
feet lay a piece of gas pipe, wrapped in
bloody paper, the weapon used in the
deadly work
AS he stood there, gazing upon the
horrible sight that presented itself. the
little restaurant keeper was soon
brought to his senses by the groans
from the man in the chair, who NUT
tered:
"I'll be all right in minute"
Kitashima stopped to hear no more,
but hurried away to give the alarm.
AS soon as he gained the open air
Kitashima turned down OFarrell street
and ran toward Webster. Here he
met Officer Fl. ]. Carroll 1t was but
the work of a little while then to notify
the police station and the Central
Emergency Hospital, both of which
made quick response.
