SHOWS CALIFORNIA VITALITY
Southern and Union Pacific and Santa
Fe Earninus Grow

The gross earnings of the Southern
and Union Pacific roads and of the San
ia Fe for July and the first two weeks
of August show an increase in their
California overland traffic; also in the
state and coast business Of the Santa
Fe and Southerin Pacific, all of which,
in the opinion of the officials, reveals
the remarkable business vitality of
San Francisco in particular and Cali
fornia in general.
In spite of last April's fire and the
subsequent temporary Generalization
of all kinds of business the Santa Fe's
gross earnings for the fiscal year end
ing June 30 last amounted to $7S,044, 000
an increase of $685. 0O0 or 14.1 per
cent over the year before. Net earn
ings were $29,546, 900, a gain of $6,6SS, ,000
or about 30 per cent
In the last fiscal year the Southern
Pacific earned gross $105,619,114, with
net earnings of $35, ,O32,5 ,565, and a sur
plus of $21,500.713. Out of the latter is
to be paid So 600, 900 in dividends on the
common stock and $2769,S79 in divi-
dends on the preferred stock. During
the same year the Union Pacifics gross
earnings were $69,201,542, with net
earnings amounting to S3O317,769 and
,491 of other income.

BREAK DELINQUENCY RECORD
More Failures to Pay Taxes Than Any
Year in History of the
CITY

Deputy City Clerk David Carroll has
made the surprising discovery that in
spite of the thirty days additional al
lowed property owners for paying taxes
there are more delinquencies this year
than any other year in the history of
the city.
There are 2474 new sales this year.
Added to this are $50 old sales. Scarcely
1000 pieces of property were redeemed.
This occurs in spite of the fact that
the legal holidays proclaimed by the
governor following the San Francisco
disaster allowed thirty days over the
regular time for paying taxes and
brought the sale of property for de-
linquencies to August l. instead of July
l, as has heretofore been the case
Last year there were but 1880 pieces
of property permitted to go delinquent
and most of these were redeemed before
the time arrived for the first sale
Five years must elapse from the time
is allowed to become delin-
quent until the city finally acquires
full title to 1T and property owners are
quick to take advantage of this fact,
as the city heretofore has
been very dilatory in selling the prop
erty after it acquires title.
The advantage derived by the prop
erty owner is that after the first de-
linquency the assessment on the prop
erty remains the same and It the end of
five years he can redeem it by paying
these taxes.

of the motorman, he says, the con-
ductor took hand in the proceedings,
striking him in the back and fracturing
a rib. This finished the rumpus, Dol
bear sinking into a seat, almost "out.'
Dolbear's story of the fight was
corroborated in every particular by
Mrs. Burt, but when the car men were
called to testify the story they told was
no more like the Dolbear account than
the story of prize fight is like the
society editors tale of pink tea. They
said Dolbear had been the aggressor,
and Henley, while he admitted strik-
ing him, said he did so only when he
saw Dolbear getting the better of the
motorman. He admitted that he hadn't
stopped to ascertain the merits of the
controversy, but had waded in, with
what result already has been stated.
Later, he said, Dolbear had made to
him his boastful remark about the two
men he had killed.
Judge Austin discharged 10th de-
PENDANTS on the ground that they were
entitled to a doubt raised in the mind
of the court by the wide conflict In the
testimony. Following their discharge
Dolbear, who gives his residence as the
Nadeau hotel, announced that he would
begin suit against the street railway
company to recover damages in a civil
action.

COURT ROOM is
MADE BABY SHOW
Society of Latin Station Comes to
Los Aneeles-Fail to Make
Charge of Insanity
Stick

Thirteen mothers and fathers. all ac-
companied by at least one infant and
many by two, appeared in department
two of the superior court yesterday
afternoon and there while the babies
played about on the floor and crowed
and cooed at the bailiff, their parents
testified against Mrs. Eliza Woods, a
deaf and dumb woman of Latin sta
ton whom they charged with insanity.
Mrs. Woods case is a peculiar one.
According to the statements of her
neighbors she has made life miserable
for everyone in the district, so that
Latin, little town on the Long Beach
line, bids fair to be deserted.
The womans deafness causes most
of the trouble On many occasions, ac-
cording to the testimony offered yes
terday, Mrs. Woods slapped the nu-
merous babies of the street until the
tiny youngsters shrieked in terror. In
trying to speak or make herself under
stood Mrs. Woods made such peculiar
noises and gestures that she frightened
everyone away from her.
On one occasion 1t is alleged she
slapped a baby's face and to have then
attacked the mother with shotgun
when the mother attempted to inter-
fere. On another occasion Mrs. Woods
was alleged to have knocked over two
babies belonging to H C. Home, her
neighbor. and to have scratched his
face when he demonstrated
So Home and others applied for an
insanity complaint and the woman was
arrested and taken before Judge Bord-
well for trial. She watched her neigh
bors as one by one they testified against
her, while her only friend in the village
sat next her and with flying fingers
translated in the mute alphabet.
And the court room looked like a
Los Angeles herald., 1906-08-25

baby show. There was Mrs. Jennie
Malmgreen and her baby, fat young
ster Of about ten months, whose mag
nus opus seemed to be to encompass
a very fat and dimpled fist with a very
kissable mouth.
Her ladyship of little more than a
year, wearing a little French peasants
bonnet, accompanied Mrs ]. c. Cluett.
Mrs. Marie Pierson was accompanied
by rosy faced tot, who laughed with
little cooling sound until half the wo-
men stenographers in the building were
trying to get in line and get a chance
to kiss the tot. The baby was after
ward taken to District Attorney Fred
ericks' room and while the mother made
complaint against Mrs Woods the
deputy district attorneys left their work
and were introduced to her babyship
Tragedy was rampant, however, when
a dgnlfed jurist, attempting to kiss
the baby mouth, ticlkled the youngster
with his beard and the tot went into
shrieks Of terror until Captain Fred
ericks' stenographer appeared on the
scene and captured the struggling in
fant from a number of deputies who
were consulting the civil code in an
effort to find a section to shut the in
fant mouth.
H. C. Home appeared with his wife
and they had two golden haired infants
with them. There were many others
present, and some of the women an
nounced that as they lived on Roose-
welt street in Latin station they in
tended to have a picture of the young
sters taken and sent to the president.
After the babies had all been quieted
in the court room the case was taken
up and Mrs. Woods was released
Then pandemonium broke loose and
the women tearfully and hysterically
exclaimed that they were afraid of
their lives and the lives of their babies.
They applied for warrant for dis
turbing the peace, but were given scant
courtesy by the deputy district attorney
to whom they applied, he declaring that
he would have nothing to do with a
neighborhood row. The mothers and
fathers then held an indignation meet
ing in the corridor of the court house
and finally took up their cooling bur-
dens and departed for their homes,
where they intend to try and find some
way OF protecting themselves and their
children from the alleged attacks of
Mrs. Eliza Woods.

SPUR TRACK PRIVILEGES
TO BE MADE PUBLIC
HEREAFTER APPLICANTS MUST
FILE MAPS WITH CITY
AS a Protection to Property Owners,
the Board of Public Works Will
Stop Granting Franchises Without
Letting Taxpayers Know of II

Spur tracks are to be made the SUBJ
ject Of a special recommendation to
the council by the board of public
works next Monday
The board will ask that the council
pass an ordinance compelling all appli-
cants for spur tracks to file maps and
descriptions with the city engineer
before the franchise is granted. This
is for the purpose of giving property
owners the privilege of finding out if
their rights are to be violated by the
railroad companies.
The necessity for this, action was
made apparent to the board of public
works yesterday when a number of
property owners appeared and de-
manded to know how the Santa Fe had
secured spur track on Stephenson
avenue. The franchise for this spur
was granted by the council last Mon
day.
This action of the council was taken
without the knowledge of the prop
erty owners, to whom the Santa Fe
had practically made promise to keep
Stephenson avenue open for traffic in
consideration of the recent abandon
ment by the city of short, unused
street.
Spurs have frequently been granted
by the council on application of the
railroad companies without interested
property owners knowing anything
about it, and it is this that the board
of public works will protest against.
satisfaction is also expressed by
property owners on Jackson street at
the dilatory methods used by the
Southern Pacific in putting in the spur
track on that street. The Southern
Pacific was granted a franchise for a
spur on this street In spite of vigorous
protests by property owners who Pc
toned that the Santa Fe be given the
privilege of laying this track The S.
P. promised, in return for the fran
chise that it would open Jackson
street from Lafayette to Amelia at its
own expense.
Not only has it failed to open this
street, but has so far made no move
to lay the spur track it was so eager
to get a few months ago.

RESIDENTS PROTEST is NIL
Fire Commission Grants Permit to
Planning Mill Regardless
of Objections

A neighborhood contest over a plan
ing mill was settled yesterday morning
by the fire commission granting a per-
NIT to the California Hardwood Lum-
ber company to install an electric
motor and maintain a planning mill at
314 West Fifty-eighth street.
1t was chiefly because the lumber
company already had it's machinery
and lumber on the ground before it
asked the commission for permit that
1t was granted.
Residents and property owners In the
vicinity protested vigorously on the
grounds that the neighborhood was
purely residential, restrictions of dwell
ings only were in each contract, 1t
would increase the fire risk and there
were no proper facilities in the neigh
borhood for fighting fire and that an
injunction was pending in court to pre-
vent the establishment of aslumber
yard at that place.

JUDGE RELEASES RAILWAY MEN
IN COURT
Motorman and Conductor Allowed to
Depart After Telling Their Story
In Battery case-DoIbear viii Sue

"He told me that it was a lucky thing
70 me that he didn't have his gun with
him; that he usually carried a gun,
and that he had killed two men and
would just as soon as not make it
two more"
This was the testimony given yes
terday afternoon before Judge Austin
In the police court by H. F. Henley,
street car conductor, and the "he" re-
ferred to was C. E. Dolbear, a con-
struction engineer, who had caused the
arrest of Henley and A. S. Menelle,
motorman on the same car, on charges
of battery.
Dolbear, on the stand, disclaimed the
record attributed to him by the car
man, and, said he didn't own a gun, and
denied point blank that he had ever
made the statement attributed to him.
According to his story he boarded a
car at Grand avenue and Jefferson
street August IA, accompanied by Mrs.
Helen Burt, a friend, who resides at 221
West Jefferson street. They found the
bar down across the entrance, and
Dolbear says he started to raise 1t when
the motorman gruffy ordered him to
leave 1t alone. Mrs Burt, however,
swung herself up the step, ducking un-
der the bar, and Dolbear followed her.
Then he made sarcastic remark about
fresh" motormen, and the motorman,
according to his story, at once, leaped
at him, grabbed him by the lapels of
the coat and hit him a glancing blow on
the side of the head
Stories Do Not Agree
The mixup that followed was lively
and productive of much gore. Finally,

ALLOWS FARMERS TO COMPETE
Southern Pacific Makes Reduction in
Apple Frelghts to Chicago

An important action has been taken
by the freight officials of the Southern
Pacific to allow the California farmers
to compete with eastern trade.
The freight rate on apples to Chicago
and main line points west of that city
will be reduced from 81 per 100 pounds
to S5 cents. The apple crop all through
the east is large this year and the fruit
is selling at such reduced prices that if
the local farmers had to pay the old
rates they would have been unable to
compete. The reduction allows a mar
gin to figure on and will enable them
to get in the running
The California crop has been very
large this year and the fruit is in the
best of condition.
Large orders will be sent to the east
as soon as the new rates go into effect
on August 90.
