PROD NEWHALL TO
FINISH ROAD
Supervisors Refuse Permit
to Run Section Of Line Be
fore Completing System
BOND Is EXACTED

George A. Newhall, president of the
Preside and Ferries Railway Com
pany, informed the Supervisors ju-
dietary committee yesterday thar the
Union street road would be ready for
operation between Steiner and Polk
streets this morning, as two cars or
dered by the company had arrived. The
committee took the ground that under
the ordinance granting the permit to
convert the cable road into an electric
line the cars would not be permitted to
run until the entire roadbed had been
reconstructed from the ferries to the
Presidio.
The committee asked Newhall if he
was ready to file good and sufficient
bond to insure the completion of the
road in a specified time and he replied
that he would have to submit the
proposition to the board of directors.
A number of interested residents and
property owners was present to oppose
the granting of any extension of time
to reconstruct the road unless the COM
pany showed better disposition to
complete the work Newhall said that
lack of rails. skilled labor and ma
terial had delayed the work, but that
the line would be completed in sixty
days. He denied that the company had
any intention of abandoning the road
from Steiner street westerly.
Jesse Lilienthal. attorney for the
company, questioned the right of the
committee to revoke the permit be-
cause the road had not been recon
structed in its entirety and explained
that the road from Polk to Steiner
streets would transfer to two cross
town lines of the United Railroads.
The protestants advocated the COM
pletion of the road on Its westerly end
from Polk street to the Presidio. pre-
ferring that the easterly end should

Newhall said that the decision of the
directors as to the filing of the bond
would be communicated to the Super
Visors next Thursday. 1t was under
stood that if the bond was not filed the
committee would recommend a revoca-
ton of the company,s trolley permit.

OYSTER BEDS NOT
REAL PROPERTY

Rights to oyster beds established un-
der the "aet to encourage the planting
and cultivation of oysters are not per-
petual or matter of inheritance, ac-
cording to a decision of the Supreme
Court yesterday in the case of the
Darbee e. ImmeI oyster and Land Com
pany against the Pacific Oyster Com
pany and others.
The first-mentioned~ company brought
action to have certain tide lands par
titioned. claiming it to be real property
which belonged to its members by right
of inheritance. but the lower court de-
cided against them and the Supreme
Court affirmed the decision yesterday.
In the decision passed down yester-
day by the Supreme Court the follow
ing appears.
In the property described in the complaint
there is clement of an estate OF inheritance.
or as described in section 76l, C.. c.. p, a per
pefuaI,' estate. The privilege extended to all
citizens by said act TO personally use the unsold
tidelands belonging TO the State. if it be con-
sidered an estate at all in lands, is certainly of
no higher dignity than an estate at will. But. in
our opinion. it is really nothing more than mere
personal license.

BLAME COURTS FOR
STABLE EVIL
Health Commissioners Say
They Are Not Upheld by
Judges in Prosecutions
CITIZENS COMPLAIN

When Supervisor Lonergan, Rev.
Father Cummings and Rev. Father
Rogers made vigorous complaint to the
Health Board yesterday against the un-
sanitary condition of many stables in
the city, the officials sidestepped re-
sponsibility with excellent agility and
laid the blame on the Police Judges
of the city The board was earnest. its
members asserted, in it's desire to en-
force the law, but it had met with
nothing but encouragement whenever
it had instituted prosecutions. The
Police Judges would not Join in a
crusade to clean out stables and. Of
tenders had been allowed to go free,
Notwithstanding that ordinances had
been f1agrantly violated
DR. Ragan explained that the existing
ordinance did not give the board power
to abate stable nuisances summarily.
Attorney Devote would be instructed,
he said, to prepare more stringent
ordinance and the board would ask the
Supervisors to provide for another
stable Inspector. as the two men en-
ployed were unable to make proper in
spections.
To show it's earnest Intention the
board ordered ]. Schweitzer & Co. to
put their stable in jackson street, near
Polk, In sanitary condition within two
weeks.
DR.. Ward was reelected president of
the board. DIR. Harvey having decided
to withdraw from the contest.

RE TIRE MOVES
Lieutenant Whom Surgeons
Declared Ailing Ordered
to Sail. to the Philippines
FINDING A SURPRISE

Because doctors disagreed, Lieuten-
ant Samuel w. Noyes will not retire
from the service of the United States
army. Although Lieutenant Noyes had
been in the hospital for six months and
two surgeons had testified that they
had attended him, the examining board
after sizing up his 200 pounds. which
gave indication of excellent health, de-
clares that he was qualified and able
to do his duty" AS result Noyes
who expected to retire, has been or
dered to sail with his regiment for the
Philippines.
The report came as a great surprise
to Noyes and at the same time 1t was
a rebuke to Captain Walter G.. Chi
dester and Lieutenant Edwin D. Kill
bourne who were the principal wit
nesses in Noyes' behalf.
Both of these witnesses testified that
they attended Noyes while he was In
the General Hospital during the last
six months, and both stated that he
was suffering from an attack Of
dysentery.
The result of the decision of the
board caused sensation at the post.
as all the officers there expected that
Moves would be retired for disability.
Colonel William A. Simpson was head
of tue board and the medical portion
of 1t was represented by Colonel George

SKIRT NEWNESS
OF THE SEASON,

walking skirts will be short, clear
ing the ground for a couple of inches
all around
Both the pleated and the plain, fully
gored models, will be used, and, as all
skirts are to be short, 1t may be well
to give a hint in regard to the mt
over the hips. If these are prominent,
then tho short skirt will only empha-
size the fact, unless the cores are most
skilfully cut. especially those coming
from the waist line. These SCANS must
Mt smoothly and without the least sign
of strain, for the effect must be an out
ward, downward slant n not a bow,
as one often sees. when the material
falls I'm half circles below the hips, says
the Philadelphia Record.
The necessary slant Is not easy to
accomplish, for if the goods is too full,
then the skirt, instead of being round,
Will seem to be 1attened, with the re-
suit that a wing ~slanting down APP
parently stands out at each side from
the hips. The safest plan for an anna
teur to adopt, IL the hips are very
large, is to make a perfectly plain,
average gored skirt and then let In
pleats at front and sides below the line
of the hips. This will give the neces-
sary flare without much trouble.
To go back to styles, the pleats going
all around the waist on skirts are as
popular as ever, but a new model is in
seven cores, ZACH gore outlined with a
box pleat, so that when the widths are
sewn together the skirt appears to be
laid in groups of two box pleats. These
are stitched into ends Just below the
knees and are finished with shallow
W. tab. An old-fashioned full skirt
will remodel readily in this style, If one
has such a garment and would like to
bring 1t up-to-date.

AT THE MILLINER'S.

A new model IS the Georgette. 1t has
q rolled brim with a decided slope in the
back. The crown is small and rather high.
On one shown in an advance exhibition
was a massive double bow of taffeta di-
rectly in front, with a draping around the
crown of ribbons, which was brought half
way down the back Of the hat.
Walking hats are being displayed that
may well boast of chic appearance. Their
size is practically nothing to mention, and
their sole beauty is In the draping of a
veil that goes around and fastens in the
back with plenty of length left to either
tic around in front or fall gracefully down
the hat.
The front decoration is either a flower.
a ribbon or some of the fancy feathered
hatpins. One notes at a glance that it is
the simplicity of the model thai gains for
1t ready favor. \
Tiny blossoms are very popular on the
new fail hats, and are often substituted
by chiffon ~rosettes or velvet bows. Rib
bon plumes, made up charmingly of loops
of ribbon steamed and wired to form a
perfect plume, are pretty, indeed, and
gaining more prestige every day.
Hats are invariably worn on the back
of the head, showing a great deal of the
hair and not in the least shading the face.

WINTER SUITS OF
SCOTCH TWEED.

. II in doubt as to what you wish to pur-
chase for a winter suit. let me suggest
something neat in heavy Scotch tweed.
There are so nan beautiful fabrics In
this kind of goods, many suits are made Of
II. and they are remarkably jaunty with
trimmings of velvet and velvet buttons.
A good arrangement for q coat, providing
il is one Of the long ones, is to outline the
collar, fronts and cuffs with velvet and
cut circular pieces to fit around the arm
holes. This arrangement is more easily
accomplished with velvet than braid. IL
the coat is long, 1t Is not necessary to dec
crate the skirt, unless desired; if the coat
Is short. trim the skirt to match.

CRITICISES
NEW JERSEY CLUB WOMEN.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star;
Sir-I feel 1t is expecting too much Of q
patient public during these exciting election
times to intrude on their time and notices,
but we women have n grievance, and
seemingly a growing one, over the ques-
ton, For what purpose was the peetine
of the State Federation of Women's Clubs
held" so gently asked IN a letter written
to the STAR of October 2s, hence the
need for utterance.
Abe Lincoln spoks an appreciative truth
when he said, you can fool all Of the
people some Of the time and some of the
people all the time, but not all the people
all the time and so it is with us.
There may be some who attend fedora
tlon meetings who always return fully
satisfied-murmuring placidly-beautiful'
lovely, but these are not women of the
'helping hand variety. All who think
enough admit that the present time in
woman's clubIand Is n critical one. We
nave learned and developed and are walt
ing for the powers that be. to assist in
our further progress, and we are not going
to be content unless the true spirit Of CO.
operation is in evidence.
1t sounds all very we'll to talk OF CIV
ing us the Unusual privilege" Of general
federation officers visits, and we do APP
preciate that sterling woman Mrs.
Decker, but what we should do is to build
I'D so splendid an organization in New
Jersey that general federation officers
would consider II an unusual privilege TO
visit us. If we want and are looking FOR
representation on the general board let u
be for what We have done or are dong
and not be marked out as ambitious Of
i~ce-seelkers. And now allow me 10 re-
iterate what ''another club woman has
already said: "Let us have a few plans n
carry some of them out" IF the programs
do no appeal to lis we are going to
grumble because no conference Is helo anu
no opportunity given to he majority as
to what that program shall consist o.
and our only redress Is criticism.
At Roselle last spring, all of the women
going there, according to schedule by tram
from Newark. found upon arrival, mat IL
not lave mattered IL they had not
come Mt all. The machine" had starred
and the doors were bolted, with the result
that a mutiny started there which Is stu
alive. This surprising d~iscourtesy can
also, we doubt not, be plausibly explained
It cannot be wiped out of our winds.
Offense should not be taken at just crisl-
cism expressed by Federated Club Wom-
am and Another Club Woman" with
a host agree), but learn from our
mistakes.
There. is opportunity and a genuine wei
come awaiting woman-her time and her
.talents-right here in our W city ana
State. n we should grasp the passing
moment and Join hearts md hands In a
for the uplift md carrying for
ward of our ideas and ideals, and have
Done with "greetings'' and instead have
plans, PURPOSES ana real conferences. Re-
spectfully yours. PRO-BONO.
