Street Car Company Blamed for the
Trouble, as Fremen Claim No

While making run to a fire in the
vicinity of Ninth and San Pedro streets
last night about $40. the hose cart Of
department No. 8 ran into a deep ex-
caVation between the tracks OF the
street car company.
The cart was overturned, the horses
fell TO their knees in the ditch and the
firemen barely escaped being thrown
beneath the heavy vehicle by quickly
jumping before the overturn occurred.
The fire engine, which was but few
PAGES behind the hose cart, only escaped
toppling over In the trench by the
warning cries Of the hose cart crew,
which might have resulted in a collision
between the two wagons.
According TO the story told by the
firemen, no lights had been placed near
the excavation as sign of danger. and
the men could not see the entrench-

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 1.-The
Chronicle says: Although the work of
the Southern Pacific is going rapidly
forward to check the rising waters of
the Salton sea, all effort so far has been
unavailing and the officials in charge of
the work have given orders to con-
struct new track farther from the
path of the rising sea.
The water of the Salton sea is already
tapping dangerously near the present
road bed of the Southern Pacific. 1t is
calculated that if the present rate Of
inflow is maintained the tracks of the
Southern Pacific will be submerged in
a few weeks. in fact before it has been

win Vote on Appropriation

down and a new house for the chill
dren will be built. The appropriation
for that purpose is to be voted on at a
special election held November %, and
the work of construction will begin i'm
mediately thereafter.
The troubles of the detention home
have been many in the past few
months and it is expected that the ac-
tion of the board today will in great
measure clear up many of them, for
1t is understood that the juvenile COM
mittee will today be given full power
of management and they will effectu
ally run things to suit themselves. The
first complaint of the home was filed
by the committee several months ago,
when they demanded the removal of
Matron Pratt on the grounds of in
competency in office. At that time
Judge Wilbur of the juvenile court
suggested that the committee be given
full control. The supervisors STAYED
off the investigation as far as possible,
but with the petition filed yesterday
the power can be granted the juvenile
committee and they can investigate as
far as they want By the first of the
year the plans for the new building
will be well under way, the new admin
istration will be in office and the su-
pervisors hope in that way to clear up
all their difficulties with one stroke.
Recently other complaints have been
made at the home because of the pres
ence of a deputy sheriff there as night
guard, who is under Indictment by the
grand jury on a charge of bribery. BY
putting the power of management in
the hands of the committee, the sheriff
question, as far as his partial man
agement has been concerned. will also
be done away with.

SUPERVISORS WILL CONSIDER
REPORTS

Which Hastens Action Of Officials.
Guard said to BE Under
Indictment

After a delay of many months the
supervisors will today take up the in-
vestigation of the reports filed by the
juvenile committee with regard to the
management of the detention home.
just how far the board will go in
its Investigation is not known, but a
petition filed yesterday by the execu-
tive division of the juvenile committee
has fastened the action of the county
supervisors and the future of the home
for bad boys and girls will be settled
at today's meeting.
The petition filed yesterday asked
that the entire control of the detention
home be turned over to the juvenile
committee after the first of the year.
That proposition, according to the
statements of several members of the
board. meets with their approval, for
up to this time the care of the home
has been in the hands of the sheriff,
the members of the juvenile committee
and the supervisors and according to
the old adage, and unfortunately for
the children who have been compelled
to inhabit the home II. has been a case
of too many cooks spoil the broth, and
Matron Pratt has been practically the
only wall between the old home and
ruin.
Several months ago many changes
were made in the detention home. The
heavy iron bars were torn away and
the rubbish and stuff used when the
building was the county Jail house was
cleaned away. Matron Pratt, with
what money she could secure from the
county, which was a very small sum,
and with some of her personal income
managed to make the old Jail building
look more presentable, but it's interior
even then resembled the cells and
tombs where criminals are kept, and
1t has always been an unfit abode for
the children. According to the state
ments of fasteners who have visited
the home. no children, no matter how
good or bad, could be expected to de-
velop a healthy mind and conscience
with the surroundings of the present
building.

The story of the deathbed Of Goethe

The color Of cloud depends on the
manner Ia which the sunlight falls upon
1t and the position of the observer. 1t
will be noticed that high. clouds are al
ways white or light In color, and this
is because the light by which they are
seen is reflected from the under surface
by the numberless drops Of moisture
which go 10 form the cloud. Heavy
rain clouds, on the other hand, are
found much nearer the earth, and so
the light falls on them more directly
from above. giving silver lining to the
cloud, though the undersurface ap-

Valuable Zones Of Silence.

There has come into modern life
greater variety Of sound and greater
volume than assailed the ears OF our
ancestors. To keep ones freshness
there ought to be zone OF silence
around every human being during some
part Of the day. The finest creative
work is done, as a rule, In seclusion;
not necessarily apart from men nor In
solitary places, but away from the tu-
mutt and away from distracting
sounds. There was organized in Paris
years ago a society for the culture of
silence. On the occasion Of the initia-
tion OF a distinguished man of letters q
bowl Of water was brought out to him
In a room where he was waiting in
solitude. He studied ii moment,
placed rose upon 1t and sent IL back.
The water bore the rose without over
flowing. To the members assembled In
another room the act was the most
convincing evidence that the initiate
