REDWOOD COUNCIL
ACTS CAREFULLY.
Will Give Franchise for
Electric Road Upon
Proper Showing Only
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

REDWOOD CITY, Aug. IF the
Board of Trustees of Redwood City
acts favorably upon the franchise asked
OF it by William H. H. Hart of San
Francisco last night at the regular
meeting, San Mateo and Santa Clara
and the coast counties as far south as
Pacific Grove will probably be con-
noeted with San Francisco by a new
electric railroad. Private rights of way
have been secured by the concern, but
passing through the suburban towns
has not been so easy.
The local officials will act favorably,
provided the backers of the combina-
tion, when revealed, are satisfactory.
1t is limited here that the Interurbau
Company of San Jose or the owners
of the Hanchett motor line OF Palo
Alto have controlling interests. At any
rate. Hart declares he has a clear
right from Redwood City to the south
ern terminal
The service which the promoters of
the railroad hope TO install will be
similar to that of the North Shore Rail-
read in Marin County, Commuters,
Hart says, will be provided with a
half-hour service from 6 a. m. until
u p m.
The company asks for a route
through the town from the Middleheld

story and today she secured an inter
locutory decree of divorce, which was
signed by Judge Ogden. She was al

Mrs. Christian married IN San Fran

boast of his power over other women.

him for his misconduct.

he might resign.
DR.. Laughiin accepted the inevitable,
went East and now has sent his resig-
nation from New York City. embodying g
in the letter the declarations about the
seminary, lack OF equipment and the
ignorance of Greek on the part of the
students, in which facts he finds eX-
cuses for his failure TO be satisfied with
the position.
Professor ". F. Bade said this even
ing:
It has happened that men come here
from the University of California and
from Stanford or other high grade in
stitutions who have graduated with
out being required to study Greek. 1t
is perfectly natural to suppose that
such men viii be poorly prepared for
courses in Greek in the seminary. 1t is
customary TO require them to make up
this deficiency in the seminary or un-
der private tutors before they can be-
come candidates for the bachelors of
divinity degree. No student is gradu-
ated from this institution who does not
possess a college degree before he
comes.

But Jewish girls cannot live in Pater-
son and be good for sS a week. We
must pay So for board each week and
