To the Editor of The Call:
Sir-In the issue of the San Fran
cisco Call of July Z, 1906. there is an
editorial headed TOO Much Collins.
which reflects upon the Sheriff's office
and calls upon me to make reply This
article quotes the Hon. Frank II.
Dunno as accusing the Sheriff and his
deputies of being too friendly with
George d. Collins and failing to keep
him in Jail. permitting him too much
freedom and allowing him to roam
the streets of this city with a smile
on his face and woman on his arm
Silence is golden as a general rule,
but your worthy paper has seen fit
to publish an editorial on this subject
and in the beginning as we'll as the
close you ask the Sheriff to "1et the
public hear from him. have always

my office in strict conformity with the

any other prisoner to leave the jail.

which statement can be substantiated
by the records" in my office, which are
always open to the press and the public
at large.
You admit the fact that Mr.. Collins
is entitled to the right of legal defense
and no mean obstacle should impede
his legitimate progress toward bill
of exceptions, and further on you say
''he (Collins) will not be blamed for
obtaining permission to examine the
legal authorities, or for putting his
active brain to work on arguments for
the defense" You ask the Sheriff il
he is under obligations to George d.
Collins, and whether prisoner shall
be allowed to leave the Jail in COM

THE IDIOT IN THE AUTOMOBILE.

William McCallig OF Portland was so unfortunate
in that city last Friday night to his auto
mobile over a twelve-year-old boy. The boy is
dead The automobilist had been driving his ma
chine awless speed and had been ordered to stop
by the police. He refused to submit to arrest
Increasing the speed of his machine, he escaped
the officer and attempted with lights out to dodge
through narrow street. 1t then that the boy
killed. Now the Portland police have
orders to shoot at automobiles which exceed the
speed limits and do not stop when ordered by
competent authority to halt.
Owners of automobiles who complain of sense
less prejudice against their machines have in the
Portland incident good illustration of how that
prejudice has been made. No reasonable person
objects to the automobile, but everybody worth
while does object to its abuse-and it is abused
every time it is driven along country road or
through the streets of city at speed that endan-
gers the life limb of the public. The roads and
streets are public thoroughfares and no man has
greater rights upon them than another. That all
may enjoy them equally there provided certain
reasonable rules and regulations that all are called
upon to observe. He who fails to obey them is a
nuisance. The man driving team down Market
street, for example, who insisted upon turning to
the left would not only get himself seriously dis
liked, but would be repeatedly run into by those

brains-and even lots of brains-it has
yet to be demonstrated that any
fair member of LondOns smart
world is capable of giving us an ef-
fective play. The Duchess of Suther-
land, every one will remember, was to
the fore not long ago with an ambitious
black verse drama which Forbes Rob
ertson produced. but, alas, it was a
most amateurish and short-lived af-
fair. Even harsher things had to be
said. of the play which Lady Troubridge
recently had produced at a special mat
inee in London and there have been
half a dozen other pieces within the
last couple of years which not even the
fact that they were written by the
smartest of the feminine smart set
could save them from a speedy disap-
pearance into the limbo of theatrical
non-successeS.
When, however, the Hon. Mrs. Alfred
FLyttelton, whose husband is ex-Secre-
tary for the Colonies, had her play
Warp and Woof," produced by Mrs
Patrick Campbell last year it really be-
gan to look as il here was a feminine
member of the arlstocracy who would
do things as dramatist. This pur-
poseful little play was not a success, it
is true, but the picture 1t painted Of
the selfishness of the rich at the ex-
pense of the poor was vivid at any
rate. So when Mrs. Campbell, who re-
Gently started management at the Cri-

that she would follow it with his

pleasurable anticipations were aroused

FROM otau correspondent
LONDON, June 25-That over two

that memorable theatrical event. 1t
may be added. however, that this crowd
of indefatigable walters numbered one

actors and lovers of the theater. He
is now over 70, and 1t is, of course, linn

Nellie Farren. not to mention all the
players of the present day In England
including Ellen Terry, to attend whose

from 8 o'clock on the evening preced

that this was quite the longest wait of

Erp to the time she went abroad there had been no date set for their marriage but she and Mr McClintock had cor responded at intervals.
