Kheil was arrested on landing. He

Kheil has been watched by the United

Kheil declared he was a merchant,

Franchise Granted
With Important
Amendments

An unexpected development yester-
day in the fight of the new Belt Line
corporation for the traffic of the Oak
land water front was the assertion of
the Southern Pacific attorneys that
the Santa Fe was behind the move
ment OF. the citizens of Oakland in
their stand against the monopoly
which the older road had enjoyed for
forty years. Color was given to this
assertion by the statement of r. NJ
Fitzgerald, attorney for the Belt Line,
to the effect that his company was
preparing to continue its proposed
road entirely around the water front
to juncture with the Santa Fe at
Emeryville.
The result of the days fight be-
fore the Board of Supervisors of Ala
media County and before the City
Council of Oakland was that the fran
chises the Southern Pacific is seeking
and in which it was opposed by the
new company were granted-the for
mer finally, the latter referred to the
Judiciary committee to come up for
action at the next meeting. But this
was not accomplished until the South
ern Pacific attorneys had been forced
as they had proposed them, which will
permit any line to have its cars move
over the new tracks
That the dominant road looked upon
its young antagonist as a serious op-
ponent was evident by the array of
counsel present and the vehemence of
the arguments used.
ACCUSES THE SANTA FE
In spite of the fact that the Santa
Fe is heavily handicapped by it's po-
sition in the south, where it must use
the tracks of its rival across the Te-
hachapi Pass, it was openly charged
by W. s. Palmer yesterday that it was
aiding the Belt Line in its fight to abate
the Southern Pacific control of the Oak
land traffic. 1t has been said that
where there are but two lines they will
pool, but where they are three there is
hope for the shipper, and the new bold
ness of the Santa Fe gives weight to
the observation.

was a loser That At would be was

THE ASYLUM INQUIRY
n. CLARK CONTINUED HIS
FAVORABLE TESTIMONY.

When the committee resumed its session
yesterday afternoon DIR. Clark continued
his testimony.
Patients were not detained at the instf-
tuition day longer than was necessary,
DR.. Clark declared.
I'VE are mighty glad to get rid of them. =
he said.
The best men In the District were on the
staff of visiting physicians and surgeons of
the institution. Everything that any pro-
gressive hospital had for the treatment OF
the insane was to be found at st. Eliza
beth's, with one exeeptfon-the progressive
bath treatment. This was now to be found
in only one American institution. but would
be installed at st. Elizabetlhs as soon as
possible.
st. Elzabeth's was considered by alien
lists throughout the country and even
abroad as one of the leading institutions OF
its kind In the world.
Dr. Clark earnestly opposed the PROPOSE
ton advanced before the committee that
the attendants work under the eight-hour
system-three shifts every twenty four
hours. He held this proposed sytem to be
impracticable and very expensive
DIR. Clark said there was no foundation
for the report that people not insane were
committed to and kept at st. Elizabeth's.
Representative Wallace submitted let
Ter from the superintendent or the ILLINOIS,
state insane asylum on the eight-hour
schedule. The letter favored the system,
and said 1t had added but few attendants
to the force
DR.. John Wesley Bovee, a local physi-
clan. was the next witness. He had visited
the asylum frequently since Dr. White took
charge. He considered that the institution
was splendidly managed and the treatment
of insane of high order. ST. Elizabeth's
compared very favorably with other insti-
buttons he had seen. He had not examined
the food. The operating room at ST. Eliza
beth's was the best in the District of CO.
lumbia and the nurses and other attend
ants Were capahle and efficient
