SOUTHERN PACIFIC
TO LOSE. BONUS.

The. Southern Pacific finds that it
will lose the 100000 bonus offered by
the people of klamath Falls to the
first railroad bhilding into that coun-
try by March /, 1907 It's engineers
and construction men are working
hard to get the surveys completed and
the roadbed started but they have
learned that 1T will be impossible for
them to reach klamath by rail before
the fall of next year. No other line
has any chance of building in and
claiming the. reward.
The Southern. Pacific acquired the
trackage of the. California Northeast
ern last week and announced it's in
tention to continue this line north to
klamath at once. 1t will be used as
the trunk line from San Francisco to
Portland when once completed. At the
time of the purchase the onicials of
the Southern Pacific believed they
could get the line finished in time to
claim the reward offered by the people
of klamath Falls.
Reports from klamath say that the
people, while glad the Southern Pa
cific is coming to them, are delighted
over the fact that they will not have
to pay the bonus. They offered the
100000 with the intention that it
would go to an independent line, never
dreaming that Hartman was back of
l. California Northeastern They
would have objected to paying the
Southern Pacific had II made the town
in schedule time.

NEGRO BEATEN BY
AN ANGRY MOB.

An angry mob pursued burly negro
of Filbert and Baker streets, where he
had made an unprovoked attack upon
Helen Parker. a white woman. to the
corner of Steiner and Lombard. where
he. was Knocked down by a rock hurled
at him by some one in the crowd There
were cries of Lynch him! Lynch himi''
from a hundred indignant citizens and
soldiers.
The guard from the Preside was
turned out in time to prevent a South
ern tragedy, but not in time to protect
the negro from severe beating. Rocks,
clubs and revolver butts were freely
piled in the work of vengeance and by
the time the guards arrived the negro
was more dead than alive.
Mrs. Parker has sworn to a complaint
before Police Judge Shortall charging
the negro, who is known by the name
of Jones, with battery, but she intends
to supplement this with a more serious
accusation. She lives In a lodging
house at 27sS Filbert street. While in
the kitchen late Monday afternoon
the negro entered unannounced- He
knocked Mrs Parker down and was
dragging her through the hallway
when the cries of a Mrs. Magee sum-
moned a crowd The negro threatened
to "cut the life" out of any one that
should attempt to arrest him.
The civilians were held at bay until
two sergeants from the Presidio led
the attack. The negro. seeing that
the odds were against him, started to
run. He was pursued by a volley Of
Stones and crowd of bowling men.
Jones is now in the hospital. where
he will be held until he is brought to
trial.

She left her husband and went to

annulment of the marriage on the
ground that she was not of age and
the separation was granted. The di-
vorced husband is in his northern
home.
Myrtle Sherman filed an answer yes

To STOP RECKLESS
AUTOMOBILING.

Automobiles must run at a reason
able rate Of speed hereafter in Golden
Gate Park or the chauffeurs will be
arrested
This is the decision Of Captain of
the district where Mrs. Jennie Connolly
was recently killed by a machine driv-
en- by Eugene Nichol, chauffeur for
Hayden, yCarrigan & Dunham.
II dc not mind automobiles being
driven twenty-five miles an hour"
said Captain Gleeson, but when the
machines are speeded fifty and sixty
miles an hour. then 1t is time to call
a halt. For many months owners of
high-priced machines have been speed
ing through the park at a dangerous
speed. They apparently care nothing
for the rights Of the pedestrians Many
accidents have occurred and think
that it is time that reckless automo-
billing should be stopped. I have given
orders TO all the patrolmen under my
command to make arrests wherever
the speed limit law is violated.
twenty-five miles an hour is q me-
dunn speed. II is seldom that any
machine runs through the park at a
speed less than that Recently auto
Haebilists have apparently thrown dis
cretion to the winds and IT is time
that something should be done to stop
them in their headlong flight. The
life and limbs of pedestrians are in
danger, and If ii lies within the power
OF this department, stop win be put
TO It"

EMPIRE EXPEDITION
INVESTIGATED.

Several days ago United States Secret
Service Agent Richard H. Taylor was
instructed by the authorities in Wash
ington to investigate the reported ex-
petition some months ago from this
port of the steamer Empire which
vessel was afterward heard from in
Central American waters as a man-of-
war. in the struggle between Guatemala
and Salvador. When the officers and
crew of othe. Empire returned to this
port about. a week ago Mr.. Taylor
held. a rodeo and after he had herded
them all into the secret service corral
he obtained their statements as to
what they thought they knew about
the unlawful arming and outfitting of
the Empire at this port to make war
on friendly Central American re-
public.
After the witnesses had been thor
oughly "marshaled" by. the Federal
sleuth, several were brought before
United States Supervising Inspector
John Birmingham and examined as to
the circumstances. attending the. death
of George W.. Boyd, chief engineer of
the vessel, at Corinto on July 26. AS
Boyd had died of natural causes, the
object and necessity of the investiga-
ton were not apparent until Captain
Birmingham began to inquire into
other matters, for instance as to how
many of the crew of the Empire had
been promised or paid bonus for GO
ing upon the expedition. Several wit
nesses swore that such was the fact
and they gave further testimony
as to what happened after the Empire
reached Central American waters.
The next step in the matter was
taken. yesterday by United States Dis
trict Attorney Devlin, when he pre-
sented about twenty witnesses before
the Federal Grand Jury. the object be-
ing the indictment of several promi-
nent San Franciscans for organizing
an armed expedition against friendly
republic
The facts as brought out before the
Grand Jury were that the steamer left
this port with a large quantity of rifles
and ammunition on board and that be-
fore the vessel got out of the harbor
several members of the crew refused to
remain with the expedition and de-
manded that they should be put ashore.
1t was then. the witnesses said, that
they were offered the bonus of 500
each to remain.
The Grand Jury will take up the
matter again next Tuesday

JANITOR Dat Ties
WITH 4 RAT

Elephants and members Of the pachy-
derm family generally are not the only
ones afraid Of rodents. Last night
Patrick Smiley, janitor Of the school at
the corner of Fell and Mission streets,
had a battle royal with g. rat as big as
a beer bottle and got the worst of it.
After the conflict he appeared at the
Central Emergency Hospital and had a
bite on the ear treated.
The hapless janitor told the hospital
attendants he first had a ghostly feel
ing as if some hidden hand was reach
ing out from the dark and caressing
his brow. This feeling developed into
a touch from the nose Of the audacious
rodent When the sleeping janitor was
fully awakened and realized that he
was being attacked by rat he made
a vicious lunge in the dark, but missed
it. The rat returned the sally by biting
the janitor on the ear. After that the
rat ran to the hole through which he
had entered.

FIX LIMIT FOR REGISTERING.
Po1cy-Hoiders' League Gives Notice
Prompt Action Is Necessary


The Policy-Holders' League has de-
cided that all persons who desire. to
have the league handle their claims
must register their policies at TIL
Market street before September Is.
The reason assigned for this is that
preparations must be made without de-
lay to begin suits against British and
German companies that deny liability.
A circular has been issued by the
league, which is in part as follows:
1t is possible that many policy-hold-
ers have been under the Impression
that they could join their claims and
one suit could be brought which would
cover the claims of all parties inter
!ssted. This is an error, for ii must be
understood that various considerations
enter into these suits and make IT
probable that a great number of sep
arate suits will be necessary And
this must be done within one year from
the date of the fire. Further detay in
making preparations to begin suits is
therefore dangerous
Some policy holders have labored IN
der the impression that a test case
brought against a particular Company
Will be decisive of all claims against
that company. From present indica-
tions 1t seems impossible in the nature
OF things to have test case adiudf-
Gated by the final Court of Appeals
within the time required for filing
suits Policy holders who fail to insti-
tule actlons at law within the time pro-
vided for in their policies will be left
without any legal remedy whatsoever.

POLICIES MUST EXPLAIN.
Earthquake Companies Not Permitted
to Hide Damaging Clause.

Fire insurance companies that are
seeking permission from the Board of
Fire Underwriters to charge a less
rate for premiums ON policies because
the policies contain earthquake clauses
may strike snag. The companies that
have no earthquake drawbacks to do
ing business are discussing. through
their representatives. a resolution to
be drawn and submitted at the next
meeting OF the board, after the COM
mittee of seven reports. to make it obli-
gatory that earthquake corporations
shall print on their policies that the
rate of premium Is lessened only be-
cause OF the clause which has made
so much trouble in San Francisco since
April. Whether any company seeking
to cut rates would do this is question
able They are at a disadvantage

HUSBAND TAKES HIS
: JAG TO COURT.
Called on to Explain
Neglect of Family
and Is Sent to Jail

Fred NJ. Anderson whose wife and
babies are obliged to live:in a refugee
tent because all his coin goes to buy
whisky, gave a. correct imitation in
Judge Graham's court of how to be
happy though drunk. 1t was a short
performance. Anderson sympathized
with the Judge, sympathized with. his
family in their dire. straits and finally
sympathized with himself when he was
consigned to Jail for contempt of court.
When Mrs Anderson explained to the
court a week ago that her husband left
her without money to buy food or pay
the rent; and that she was thrown on
charity, the Judge ordered the. niTlhand
to pay $50 month a1imony. He failed
te produce the cash and was before the
Judge yesterday. to explain why.
How is it you do not support your
wffe?"
Cant give the. family money when
I haven't got. it, was the. response.
You have money. enough to bay
whisky?"
Sure, you know which assertion
was accompanied with a wink. as If the
gesture would explain all.
81 think / shall send you to Jail for
contempt in coming here drunk" said
Judge Graham,
: I'm perfect. lady" Anderson re-
piled
What about your poor family ?"
That's correct. I sympathlze with
them in their trouble. Sure / do"
Mr.. Bailiff, take this mia n out of the
courtroom" replied The Judge, I al
judge him guilty Of contempt of court.
He is drunk"
Anderson will have further oppor-
tunity to explain when he has slept off
the effects Of his Internal alcoholic
bath.

the name OF the Crocker- w oolworth

change in the name of the bank yes

1t was not possible to get in COM

in the change is the abbreviation that
