DR.. DREW MEETS GENTLE
PHILOSOPHER AMID RUINS
Old Lady Tells Quarantine Officer
How to Be Happy Though
Homeiess

DR.. Drew of the Federal quarantine
service tells a story which illustrates
the philosophic manner in which gen.
tly nurtured people accepted the hard
ships attending the recent calamity.
On the ruins OF what had been San
guinetu's restaurant DR.. Drew, on the
Friday following the earthquake,
espied a strange figure. Closer inspec-
ton revealed the dearest Of old-fash-
ioned old ladies reclining comfortably
in a rocking chair. The chair was
placed on a rounl mahogany table
top. To the chair back was dashed a
parasol, and under its shade the old
lady was reading, with consuming in
terest, a current magazine.
With a dainty toe pressing on the
polished surface of her limited but
very swell hardwood floor, the old
lady gently rocked herself back and
forth, as comfortable and as much at
ease apparently, as Il she were on her
own porch.
How long have you been here?"
asked the doctor after exchanging
greetings.
Only two days." responded the old
lady cheerfully.
Are you comfortable?"
Quite. thank you. expect my son
will be back In a few hours"
Are you getting plenty TO eat?"
persisted the doctor.
"Old women do not have very vfgor-
Gus appetites. so I don't think much
about food and / had quite a large
cfink OF water this morning So you
sec I'm one Of the fortunate ones"

well known but unexplained fact that
inmates of the States prisons obtain
accurate knowledge OF the happenings
of the outside world almost as quickly
as they are recorded by the news
papers and they are In now way slow
in learning anything that they think
can be turned to advantage to them
selves.
This fact Is being strongly impressed
on Governor Pardee at the present
time, as he is receiving scores OF let
ters from inmates Of both Folsom and
San Quentin prisons, who ask for COM
mutation Of sentence or parole on the
ground that their loved ones have been
ruined by the San Francisco disaster
and require their aid to procure q
livelihood.
The convicts have learned that In
one or two instances where men were

discovered number Of relations who

Project 7econmended by Commission
Of Engineers and Secretary Taft
Will BE Followed Closely.
Companies Granted Perpetual Fran

for Thirty Years ON Capital.

WASHINGTON. May 1s.-The ar
rangements for carrying out the plans
of the Government for system of
railways in the Philippines are about
concluded, and the last OF the con-
tracts will be signed in few days.
They Involve the construction Of sew
eral hundred miles Of track and the
expenditure of about $S0,000,0 900, most
of it within the limits Of the islands.
The project recommended by COM
mission Of engineers while Secretary
Taft was Governor General will be fol-
lowed very closely, with view to the
development of the great natural re-
sources that are now inaccessible, as
well as providing suitable transporta-
ton facilities for those sections which
are most thorouhgly settled and culti-
waited.
Contracts for about 400 miles of
track in the Island of Luzon have been
agreed upon by Secretary Taft and
John G.. Milburn, attorney for James
Speyer s. Co., the well-known bankers
of New York: the terms have been
approved " the Philippine commission
at Manila and the papers will be signed
as soon as they are received. Con-
tracts for 500 miles OF track in the
islands of Panay, Negros and Cebu
have already been signed by j. G.
White & Co. Of New York, represent
ing syndicate incorporated under the
title of the Philippine Railway Com
pany, and composed OF that firm
Charles M. Swift Of Detroit, Cornelius
Vanderbilt Of New York, President
Wilson of the Lincoln Trust Com
pany, New York; Heidelbach, Ickel-
heimer & Co. and the International
Banking Corporation.
The Speyer contract carries no sub
sidy, but perpetual franchise. The
Philippine Railway Company also has
a perpetual franchise, and the Govern
ment OF the island guarantees per
cent interest upon 80 per cent of the
actual cost OF construction for a term
OF thirty years.

We do hereby express our appre-
citation Of the quick action and splen-

authorities in bringing order out Of
chaos following the greatest calamity
in the history of our country. While
the average citizen failed to fully real
ize the magnitude of the catastrophe
after the earth had tren1bied, with it's
disastrous results, you with your corps
OF assistants and commanding officers
grasped the situation and, with that
heroic effort that becomes a master in
emergencies, in two hours had the city
under your control and We're direct
ing the movements necessary for the
protection of the mass of moving, be-
wildered humanity. By your action in
the interest of the hundreds OF thou
sands who. in the twinkling Of an eye,
became dependents, you have made
San Francisco the most orderly city Of
its size in the United States and won
the appreciation and gratitude of the
community.

people too much praise cannot be given
those who have been at the head Of
each of the various departments---law
and order, finance, Red Cross, etc
who have so successfully carried on
their work under conditions of great
difficulty.
We do heartily believe the most po-
tent factor in the preservation OF or
der during the confagration and ever
since was the proclamation of the
Mayor closing the saloons and the
strict enforcement of that order by
Cnief Dinan, assisted by the Federal
omcers. and the subsequent action Of
the Police Commissioners In revoking
all saloon licenses.
The order which has been preserved
with these places closed. which are
responsible for SO much crime and vio-
ience, Is the strongest evidence that
can be produced In favor of high IL
cense. which should be sufficient at
least to pay the cost of the department,

 That defendant believes that she was justified in said shooting, and had she not used the said revolver the said Barnes would have assault ed and raped her, as he had previous ly on many occasions threatened to do.

 That on the night of the 18th of June, 1906, this defendant was in great state of mental perturbation and dis tress by reason of the action of said William Barnes. and up to that time had not told her husband of his con- duct for the reason that she feared her husband would get into serious trouble with said Barnes and might possibly be killed. That on said ey- ening, June 18th, about half past elev- en, defendant was waiting for the re- turn of her husband from his work, and was irrigating with a hose, the back yard. when said William Barnes returned 10 his, adjoining lot and be- gan to abuse and curse defendant and call her vile names, threatening to whip her, for the reason that defend ant had refused to listen to the solic- itation of said Barnes. and after abus- ing her for a little while, defendant retreated to her own home and stood in the north door of her house, where upon said William Barnes, cursing and calling this defendant a vile name, said: q am going to come over there and whip you, for I know damn well your husband hasn't got home yet; :" that thereupon the defendant being in fear of her life and of her honor, reached about two steps from the doorway where she was standing, seiz- ed a revolver belonging to her hus- band, and warned said Barnes not to cross the fence, but to go away and let her alone, al the same time point ing the revolver in the direction of said Barnes. At that time the de- fendant was distant about six or eight feet from said Barnes, and he kept coming towards her notwithstanding her warning. and this defendant has reason to believe. and does believe,
