ACT OF PRESIDENT
IS |NDORSED

BROWNSVILLE (Texas), Nov. 2s-
Because of the apparent misunder-
standing in portions of the country of
the facts which called forth the order
discharging the three companies of
colored troops recently stationed here,
and in view of the resultant criticism
of the Presidents course in the matter
the citizens committee of Brownsville
recently requested General A. B. Nettle-
ton of Chicago, formerly Assistant Sec
retary of the Treasury, now here on
business, to make in his own way a
thorough and disinterested investiga-
tion of the Brownsville tragedy of Au-
gust 13 and report his conclusions.
General Nett1eton has embodied his
findings in letter to the Secretary Of
War. He says in part:
Absolutely unprejudiced investiga-
tion, made after local excitement had
subsidized, confirms in every particular
the conclusions reached by the two
army officers sent here by the War De-
partment, on the strength of which
the President took his action, as well
as the clear and temperate statement
published Immediately after the
tragedy by Chairman Kelley of the
Brownsville citizens committee"

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov 2S--The
famine conditions in Kazan, Simbursk,
Famara, Saratov and other Volga gov

desperate stage According to reports
the famine is only slightly less severe
than the great famine of 1891, which
enlisted the sympa-hy OF the civilized
wcrld and caused the United States 70

to Russia Thousands of peasants in
the stricken districts are now in the
grasp Of starvation.

TWO EMPIRES WILL
WATCH CONGRESS

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S-Congress
will be compelled early in the coming
session to consider the question of
Chinese exclusion. The nations law
makers faced the problem last winter,
but despite the fact that the press
urged action the solons turned their
backs to the subject and put off the
disquieting day of its consideration.
1t probably will prove a day of double
evil, for the Japanese tangle is to be
considered at the same time.
The United States is to have both
the Oriental nations watching this
country at once, ready as they always
are to take offense. One year ago
there was hope that a commercial
treaty of advantage to both China and
the United States might be framed and
indorsed by the two governments. The
common people" of China, for vir-
tually the first time in the country's
history, made their influence felt at
the Chinese court, and the result was
that the Chinese Minister accredited to
Washington, Sir Chung Liang- -Cheng,
heard from his government and told
Secretary Root that treaty was not
possible unless the United States Gov
vernment should open the gates lit
tie wider for the admission of the
Chinese immigrant.
to do something and Congress did
nothing except to provide for commit
tee hearings. Several bills, however,
were introduced, apparently to keep
out just as many Chinese as were kept
out before, but by subtlety of the
bills language was used to appease
Chinese anger in measure
The committee on foreign affairs
will take up two bills at the opening
of the coming session and unquestion-
ably one or the other will be reported
for the favorable consideration of the
House. One was drawn by Represen-
'tative Edwin DENLY of Detroit who
had the assistance of his brother.
Charles DENLY, chief clerk of the State
Department The DENLY brothers
lived for years in China, where their
father was the American Minister.
They are in thorough touch with Chi
nese conditions and Congressional ac-
acknowledgement is made that the meas
ure is well based.

SANTA f PLANS
UPTOWNDEPOT
IN OAKLAND

OAKLAND, Nov. 2S.-The Santa Fe
Railroad filed with the City Clerk to-
night an application for a franchise
for steam railroad line from its pres
emit terminus In EmeryvilIe to Twen-
tieth and Adeline streets, where 1t will
build a freight and probably a passen-
ger station. The application asks fol
n franchise from HaIIeck street at the
northern boundary of Oakland at
EmeryviIIe, south to Wood street,
thence south TO Twentieth, thence east
on Twentieth to Adeline street.
The Santa Fe recently purchased a
block of land 300 feet square at this
Adeline-s1reet terminus. The tract was
owned by a man named Ryan and he
was paid $4,000 for the property.N In
this connection it is also said that
Santa Fe agents have been purchasing
considerable other realty in the neigh
borhood of Twentieth and Adeline
streets.
This move into Twentieth street by
the Santa Fe comes at an interesting
juncture. in view of the reports that
the Southern Pacific had decided on
Twentieth street as the thoroughfare
on which it's connecting link for a new
cross-town suburban electric railway
system would be provided.
IN CONFLICT WITH RIVALS
Tt has been asserted that the South
ern Pacific Company would apply for
a franchise through Twentieth street
from Franklin street westward, and
that this line would form a part OF
the new system to be installed in con-
junction with the changing of the Ala
media line from steam to electricity.
The Santa F'es application also opens
the way for another contest, as the
lines through Wood street followed in
the petition overlap those of the West
ern Pacific's application through Wood
street, which was filed on Monday
night before the City Council.
The Western Pacific, by It's move on
Monday night. has forced the hand of
the Santa Fe. Both railroads would
like to get through Wood street, for
1t gives parallel to the Southern Pa
cific along the city's western shores,
and 1t also taps what is rapidly be-
coming an important freight shipping
center.
F. w. Mcdonald, industrial commits
sioner of the Santa Fe Company, said
last night that the corporation had
been working on plans for the exten-
sion, into Oakland for about ten days,
during which it's agents had been Sc
curing options on property In the vi
streets.
BUY UP PROPERTY
The company has secured property
already on both sides of Wood street,
between Twentieth and Twenty
second streets, where the Western Pa
cific Company's proposed line overlaps
the line of the Santa Fe. The an
nouncement made several days ago by
Robert M. Fitzgerald that 1t was the
intention to extend the proposed belt
line as far as Emeryville contributed
to forcing the Santa Fe to show its
hand. In discussing the matter last
night Mcdonald said:
This application was made simply
to get us better freight handling IA
cilities. Oakland has become a large
freight producer and we need closer
connections with the business center
Of the city. The fact that our pro-
posed line crosses the proposed line
Of the Western Pacific does not mean
that any trouble between the two COM
panies will result. We are not trying
to interfere with any plans of the
Gould lines"

ment and emphatically refusing to an
swer any questions, SchnitZ remained
in the seclusion of his stateroom, save
for brief airing taken on the deck of
the ferry-boat on the misty dreary trip
across from Benicia. Ruef, Cert and
Hilbert, after a long conference be-
tween Ruef and Schmitz mingled with
the passengers.
Ruef said, speaking for himself, tnat
he would seek an early trial and the
refutation of the charges of graft and
extortion He declined to admit that
he and Schmitz would be represented
Jointly by counsel. claiming he had not
discussed the matter with Schmitz and
did not know what the Mayor would
decide to do about counsel.
STATEMENT OF THE MAYOR
According TO the programme an
nounced by Ruef on his arrival at
Truckee, his agents in San Francisco
went about furnishing bonds. Armed
with a certified check for s25 900 drawn
on the American National Bank, Sheriff
O'Nen and President Paul M. Nippert
of the bank appeared in Judge Mu
rasky's courtroom offering bail. The
surety was accepted and the order of
release from arrest signed by the
court. O'Neil telegraphed Knox at
Sacramento. and that pretty little farce
was done.
Mayor Schmitz's statement, addressed
to the people of San Francisco, is but
a reiteration of the statements given
out in interviews and, conforming to
his policy. denounces his prosecution
as political persecution. 1t is as fol-
lows:
ITO the people of San Francisco, you
who have thrice honored me with your
confidence and support in electing me
to the highest position in the gift Of
the people of our city, wish to state
that my return home has been with all
possible speed to face my traducers
and the charges that have been so un-
justly made against me.
II court the fullest inquiry into all
of my official actions. feeling with a
confidence born of n clear conscience
10 fear of the result of such investi
cation.
Il ask you to reserve your decision
regarding the dastardly statements that
have been made against me by news
papers avowedly hostile to my adminis-
tration until such time as I shall have
been given a fair chance Of DEMON
strating these charges to be not only
false and malicious, but actuated with

Sanderson
Changes His Place
Of Hiding Again
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 2S.-Interest in
the whereabouts of w. w. Sanderson
the San Francisco Supervisor who is
making such a mystery of his actions
has been aroused by the exclusive sto-
ries published in The San Francisco
Call, including interviews with San
derson and his physician, DR.. j. III. Da-
visson.
The exclusive story published in The
Call, telling of Sanderson's attempts al
suicide, caused a sensation. The even
ing papers publish denials, as they
rallied to. ascertain the source of In
formation, basing their statements on
interviews with Sandersop's physician,
who naturally seeks to shield his pa
tient. The Calls story is true, despite
the denials
DR.. Davisson said today that Sander
son was nervous wreck, emaciated
and threatened with tuberculosis. i
do not know whether Mr.. Sanderson
was sent out of the city today" he
added. 81 saw him yesterday. and
while his mind is not affected, he is in
a weakened condition and is very
sick man."
Another complication as to the
whereabouts of Sanderson took place
today. when he disappeared again, and
1t was stated by James Montgomery
that he was not at his home, but Mont
gomery thought he was at the Hay
ward Hotel. At this hotel 1T was de-
MED absolutely that Sanderson was a
guest there. At his former haunts, too,
it was declared that he had not been
seen.
Those who have been nearest to the
missing Supervisor say that Sanderson
is probably out of the city, though they
would not make a positive assertion,
and 1t seemed evident that every effort
was being made to keep the man out
of sight
According to Morris Levy of San
Francisco. one of Ruef's lieutenants,
who has been in this city purposely, it
is said, to see Sanderson, he saw the
Supervisor at the Orpheum Theater a
few nights ago. He declared he had
not talked to Sanderson, but stated
that the latter was not q man who
could stand adversely and that after
the earthquake he drank heavily.
Late today Levy started for San
Francisco without waiting to see the
O'Brien-Burns fight, and this is con-
sidered significant.
Just where Sanderson has been taken
is not known and it is apparent that SO
much secrecy has been maintained in
this matter that 1t will probably be
some time before he is located again.
