PIONEER IS FOUND
DEAD IN HOTEL.

OAKLAND, Oct. 21.-Isaac Bloch, a
pioneer salt refner of San Francisco
and the owner of the Mount Eden Salt
Works, died suddenly this morning at
the Gibson Hotel, at 95S Clay street.
His body was found some time after
his death by Miss Edith OSullivan,
a friend of the deceased, who resides
at 521 Nineteenth street, and, knowing
that he was stopping at the Gibson,
had called to see him. Miss O'Sullivan
found the body of Bloch lying on a
lounge, and, thinking that he had
tainted, summoned DIR. j. H. Todd.
When the physician arrived he found
that Bloch had been dead for some time
and the remains were removed to ths
morgue.
The family of the deceased, whose
home was at 3012 Pine street, San
Francisco. was notified of his sudden
death, and his son, f. V. Bloch, claimed
the body. The remains will be sent 20
San Francisco for interment.
Bloch had been for several days at
the salt works in Mount Eden, and
came to this city last night on his
way to his home in San Francisco. For
several months he had been under the
care of a physician, and when he
reached Oakland late last night not
feeling we'll he postponed the trip
across the bay until today. While at
the Gibson last night he telephoned to
Miss O'Sullivan, and the latter, calling
to see him today. discovered his body.
DR.. Todd declared death to have been
apparently due to heart troubles Bloch

WORK FOR WOMEN
ON RAILROADS.
sPEcIAL pIsPArcH 20 TEE cALL.

AUSTIN, Tex, Oct. 21.-A new
sphere of work has been opened to
white women in Texas. The Southern
Pacific Railroad has discharged its
negro car cleaners at San Antonio and
has employed white women in their
stead. A white man is employed as
foreman of the cleaning force. The
white women receive $40 a month,
which is the same salary that was paid
the negroes.
This change was inaugurated at San
Antonio a short time ago as an expert
ment. 1t is announced by the officials
of the railroad that the services of
the white women have proved so
satisfactory that il will be but a short
time until white women are employed
as car cleaners instead of negroes and
other labor on the whole system in
Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico. Arizona
and California. This will mean the
employment of several thousand white
women at good wages.
There is nothing degrading in car
cleaning work" said a prominent Of
fetal of the Southern Pacific. 1T is
not to be classed with the work of
scrub women. The latest improved ap-
pliances, such as compressed air, water
hose and other things, are used to
make the work comparatively easy. We
are highly pleased with the success Of
will be only a short time when women
will be employed car cleaners
throughout the country. They seem
specially fitted to that work. They
are more thorough and can be relied
on far better than negroes.
There are other and more import
ant branches of railroad service for
which women are fitted. believe that
the time is not far distant when women
will be employed in many departments
of railroads. I see no reason why they
should not make good rate clerks, sta
ton and passenger agents. and even
superintendents and general managers.
1t has been demonstrated that women
make better telegraph operators than
men, but owing to the prejudice which
has heretofore existed against them
on the part of railroads they have been
debarred from that branch of service
on most roads. So far as 1 know there
never was a woman train dispatcher
but l see no reason why there should
not be. There is great scarcity of
competent men in nearly all branches
of the railroad business. particularly
in Texas and the Southwest, and
women have an opportunity to step
into these new places"
Further evidence of the new policy
OF the Southern Pacific in employing
women instead of men is shown in
the action of the chief officials in fill
ing the positions made vacant by the
recent striking men clerks with young
women This has been done at Hous-
ton and other places on the system.

seven others rushing TO their compan-
ions assistance with knives and stones.
As one of the Mexicans was about to

into Patrolman Fred ArgueIlo. Frank
Arguello knocked him senseless with
his revolver. Others of the attacking

IN THE THRALL Of
CRAzEO MOTHER.

PORTLAND. Or, Oct. PA strange
case of temporary dementia. superin-
duced by religious hysteria, is reported
daughter are giving the neighborhood
considerable alarm over their actions.
The two cases are at the home of
Charles Morning, a farmer. Last night
DR.. Tamiesc found the elderly woman,
Mrs Anna Mack, hopelessly demented.
and the wife of Morning, who is Mrs
Mack's daughter, in hypnotic or cat
aleptic state, following the actions and
suggestions of the mother. The physi-
clan found the elderly woman beyond
all powers of reasoning. Mrs. Mack has
been deaf for some years, and the
daughter has been suffering from a
bone disease in one of her limbs.
This fall Mrs. Mack went to some of
the healing meetings" held in tent
on the Eastside, Portland. and upon her
return she induced her daughter to go
with her to a hall at Sixth and Main
streets. Portland, where these healing
meetings were conducted by c. d. Saw
telle for treatment along faith lines.
Upon their return Morning says that he
noticed that his wife and mother-in-
law were more frequently in prayer
than formerly. A day or so later Nor
ring became alarmed when Mrs. Mack
laid down by the stove and declared
that the Lord had commanded her to
do sos
The next day Mrs Mack denuded her
self of her clothing, and it was then
that the neighbors were called in. The
unfortunate elderly woman would roll
on the floor, not dissimilar to the Holy
Roller contingent. She would shrek
Praise the Lord, and the daughter.
who remained in bed, would assume a
devout attitude and echo the elderly
woman's words with violent laughter.
According to Morning story. the two
women, when in Portland at the heal
ing meetings, went into a room up
stairs and prayed for hours. The ply
sician thinks that the daughter would
soon regain her normal mental condi-
ton, provided the influence of the
mother were removed.

FLAMES SWEEP RANCHES.
Great Damage Done in the Mountains
Near Santa Cruz.

SANTA CRUZ, Oct. 21.-A large for
est fire has been raging in the Santa
Cruz Mountains seven miles from here
since yesterday. Several ranches have
been burned over and denuded of veg
citation and hundreds of cords of wood
and shingle bolts have been burned as
well as much new timber
The fire is supposed to have started
in sawdust heap at the logging camp
of Forgus & Johnston.
But little attention was paid to the
fire yesterday, as the land this side of
where the logging is being done was
burned over a year ago and the wind
was blowing the flames toward this
clearing. The wind shifted slightly in
the night, however, and the flames
raced down SCOTS Valley and over into
Blackburn Gulch. The timber west of
Granite Creek Gulch is on fire and
large area has been burned over on the
Judge Rice place.
The wind has increased in violence
and the efforts of the fire fighters to
check the flames are fruitiess. Fire
Warden C. A. Reed is personally on the
ground, and many men from this city
have gone to the scene to aid the
ranchers in saving their homes. The
section which Is being burned is thick
ly settled with large ranches and sum
y
feed has been destroyed and several
vineyards have been ruined by the in
tense heat.
The efforts of the fire fighters are
now being concentrated to save the
General Bunting place, one of the finest
homes in the mountains.
One ranch reports the loss of consid-
erable livestock, the big dairy sheds
catching fire from sparks famed by the
high wind.
SALINAS. Oct. 21-Stage Driver
Mossop, who runs stage between
Monterey and Idlewilde, reported upon
arrival in this city last night that for
est fires were raging along the road.
Over $50. 900 acres had been burned
along Garrapatos and Mill creeks. Tas-
canajara, a town near Idlewilde, is in
danger of being totally destroyed.
At Nuley's landing fences miles in
length have been destroyed Fierce
flames and flying cinders caused fires
several miles from Idlewilde. Live
stock has been burned to death, while
the fire has swept over cattle ranges.
fire day and night. but as they were
their efforts two weeks ago, and are
now merely fighting flames near their
own houses. Only a few homes have
been destroyed. Further reports state
that the road between the lime kilns
and Idlewilde is lined by fire for over
FIVE miles and communication is likely
to be cut off Only rain storm will
extinguish the flames.

FROM THIS PORT.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

OTTAWA. Ont, Oct. 21.-The Stan
dard of Montreal says today:
The statement is believed to be well
founded that the Canadian Pacific Rail-
way Company is about to add two
larger and faster vessels to the Allan
tic feet than the present two Empress
es, which viii be placed on the Pacific
service. The augmentation of the Pa
citiic fleet has been thought of by the
management for some time past, as the
