Arguments for Measure

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 1.-Arguments
IN behalf of the bill to enable Stanford

professional and engineering courses
without losing the privilege of exemp-
Con from taxes were made before the
Assembly committee on revenue and
taxation today by Attorneys George E.
Crothers and Charles P. Eels, repre-
sentlng the trustees of the university.
written statement left with the
committee by Crothers, who is secre-
tary or the Stanford board of trustees,
contains the following paragraph:
AS yet Stanford University has not
established any professional or engi-
neering department as thoroughly
equipped as It's trustees and faculty
desire, the aim being to establish and
maintain these departments upon the
plan or the highest possible efficiency.
The establishment Of some important
departments and the highest efficiency
of others will depend upon whether or
not tuition fees may be charged
therein"
Both attorneys argued that all East
ern universities charged such fees. The
University of California charges fees
for all professional courses. Stanford
University desires to make numerous
improvements. Among other things,
IT wants to spend on it's law depart
ment, dve times as much money as it
Is spending now. To do this. tuition
fees must be Imposed on law students.
The trustees have similar plans to up
lift other departments, and 1t was at
their request that Assemblyman
Spaulding introduced the bill now I'm

Senator Marshall Black secured the
favorable action of the Senate commit
tee on the same measure this after
noon. He expects to pass his bill next
week and thereby influence the Assem-
bly, committee, IL 1T has not by. that
time acted favorably on Spaulding's
bill. Behind the bills is the desire of

FIRE MEMS CLAIMS
ARE ADJUSTED

. HOUSTON. Tex, Feb. 1.-The dispute
between the Southern Pacific Railroad
and. its locomotive firemen, who went.
on strike on December 23 last, but sub
sequently: returned to work, was finally
settled today by the decision of the
board of arbitration. The question be-
fore the board was to determine wheth-
er a: letter written by Manager w. G.
van Week of the railroad to an Of
ncial OF the firemen's union constituted
contract with that organization. The
letter acquiesced in the f1remen's claim
or control the seniority of the switch
engineers, who are members of the
brotherhood 4.
The finding of the board is to the
eHect that the letter did constitute
supplementary contract covering the
Texas line only, but that it expired on
the date MAY 6, 1906) when the fire.
men assert that their contract was
aprogated by the road signing an
agreement with the Brotherhood Of
Locomotive Engineers granting to that
organization the seniority clause for

The arbitrators further find that the
hremen acted in good faith in assert
ing their claim that the contract did
not expire until January /, 1907.

REMINDS CLERGYMEN THAT

Contributor Expresses Views on Oppo-

Editor of The Calr-Dear Sir: Seeing
in late issue Of your paper a 1enun-
citation of all stables by some of. the
reverend clergy of this city. / think 1t
high time they should, know that the
Master that they claim TO serve was
born in a stable. and the very progress
of San Francisco depends on the habi-
tation and care of the horse. Where
would the reverend gentlemen put
these tried and faithful workers for our
city's progress? Would they have them
in the streets, pierced by the winds
that visit our city during these months
and drenched by some of our worst
rains. all because a few of our sore
headed clergy, disappointed in the
financial line Of their profession, forget
their ambition and duty to place San
Francisco whore she stood before April

shall take a backward look and then
find that we owe all our progress to
that most faithful and most abused of
mans servants. the horse,
The poor animals who now trudge
along with their heavy loads in the
frightful condition of the streets, are
doing more, I fear, for San Francisco
than those men who are ashamed to
acknowledge that their Master was
born in a stable. Shall this become
effective? No; thousand noes The
interest of a few, who are sore on the
subject of contributions and who would
be aided in a worldly way by the pro-
hibition OF the stables. should not be
allowed to interfere with an Institution
that is absolutely necessary to restore
San Francisco to its proper station. as

Architects Denied
Desired Privilege
Bill That Would T urn Gold

Is Defeated
CALL HEADQUARTERS,
1907 EIGHTH STREET.

SACRAMENTO, Feb. If Assembly
Dill No. 46S, introduced by Transue of
Los Angeles, becomes law. every man
who wants to build little home and
cannot do the work himself will have
10 nire an architect The popular prac-
sice OF getting the carpenter to make
MS own plans will not be permitted.
Assemblyman Frank r. Devlin of
Vaiie1o exposed the bug today at a
meeting of the committee on judiciary.
Ior the state Association of Architects.
nao hardly begun to wax eloquent over
the merits of Transue's bill, when
Devlin interrupted him
w ouldnt this require a man with
small capital who wanted to build a
nome to hire an architect"
McKisick replied that while man
could build his own home he coundn't
get a contractor to do the work on
plans not made by an architect.
Then this bill should be called an
tects," said Devlin.
That is certainly It's object" was
the frank reply.
Devlin next brought out an admis-
sion that II a man in a country town
wanted to put up a $1,000 cottage he
would first have to go to a city where
he could find an architect and invest
part or his money in plans.
Mcktsick argued that the bill would
prove Of great benefit by improving the
standard of architecture. Better build
ings would be put up. for no man could
draw plans who was not a skilled
architect AS an illustration of what
happens nowadays McKisick told Of the
collapse of a store that had been
planned by man who did not know
his business
Chairman Grove Johnson turned the
point against McKisick by remarking:
II remember a hotel at Long Beach
that went to pieces. 1t was constructed
on plans drawn by an accredited firm
Of architects from Los Angeles"
Assemblymen Leeds and Bishop
joined Devlin in expressing dissatis-
faction with Transue's bill. McKisick
defended 1t as best he could, but made
little progress and seemed greatly re-
lteved when the committee agreed to
postpone further consideration for one
week.
Senator George B. Keane of. San
Francisco presented an architects. bill
in the Senate today. The measure pro-
vides for State board of architecture
and Its avowed purpose is to simplify
the State examination and let archi-
tects other than members of the. Ma
tional Institute of Architecture come
in from other States and qualify for
the practice of their profession in Cali
fornia, but it has a. bug similar to the
one found in Transue's bill. IT shuts
out uncertiffcated architects and makes
its restrictions apply to- all. persons
who design or draw plans or specifica-
tfons for buildings for other persons"
Therein lieth the bug, for this puts the
ban on contractors and carpenters who
would use their own plans in building
little homes.

DISPUTES
OUT OF COURT

LONDON, Feb. 1.-An authoritative
statement, embodying what the family
desires to say on the case of the Duke
and Duchess of Marlborough, was
given out tonight IT follows:
The differences between the Duke and
the Duchess of Marlborough have been
settled privately. The children will ar
rive at Sunderland House today. and the
Countess and her children will pro-
coed to the Continent some time early
next week
The statement is somewhat ambigu-
Gus, owing to the possible interpreta-
tion that the Duke and Duchess have
settled their differences and resumed
the relations OF husband and wife. but
the family expressly desires to let 10
stand as IL Is. In well informed quar-
ters the statement was interpreted as
meaning that the Duke and Duchess
have arranged privately a settlement OF
terms under which each will have the
care of the children for a portion OF
the year. 1t is understood the Duchess
will continue to make Sunderland
House her London home. while the
Duke will have town quarters at
West End Hotel, as he has done since
October last.
There is great relief in royal and
social circles that the Marlborough af-
fairs will not get into the courts.

EMBARRASSED BY
PROSPERITY

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1-Too much
prosperity IS what the country is suf
fering from at the present time. This
is not a joke, but Serious fact which
railroad men. of the country have be-
gun to appreciate only too we'll
Reports received by the Interstate
Commerce Commission and the Treas
ury Department. combined with the
daily downward trend of the stock
market show only too clearly that the
railroad lines of the country have run
against a stone wall. through which
they seem to be unable to force their
way. The farmers and factories have
piled up. their products at the sources
of supply; and the railroads are unable
to carry freight to consumers.
This condition is not peculiar to any
particular section, but it is general
throughout the country, Every rail-
road is. suffering not merely from
shortage of cars, but from a shortage
of everything necessary to move
freight
For this reason it happens not only
that the railroads of this country must
spend billions i'm increasing their equip
ment, but they are all trying to hor-
row money at the same time. There
is not money enough in sight to sup
ply these demands. sThe interest rate
has run up, the pffce of stocks has
fallen in view of proposed increased
capitalization. and the car shortage,
which is a short term for railroad
shortage, continues.
At first railroad men were astonished
to find that in a period OF extraordi-
nary prosperity they We're unable to
find money with which to increase their
facilities for moving crops and pro-
ducts of factories. Several big deals
not only by Hartman, but by a dozen
other railroad hnanciers, were set on
foot at practically the same time
Money centers abroad as well as in this
country seemed curiously Indifferent
about investing
The result was that railroad man
ayers jumped to the conclusion that
the antitrust agitation In the United
States was responsible for the unwiIl-
ingness of the kings of finance to hand
out their hundreds of millions for in
vestments In proposed improvements in
the United States. 1T is now becom-
ing evident, on the contrary. that the
difficulty in securing the capital arises
from the fact that all the railroads of
the United States want to borrow
money at the same time, and they want
to borrow it in such large quantities
that they have precipitated an increase
In the interest rate and large amount
of proposed new construction will have
to be abandoned, at least for the time
being.

B0N|S ENTREAHES
MADE IN VAIN
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

PARIS, Feb. 1.-"If you don't con-
sent to see me. I'll commit suicide" was
the threat Count Boni de Castellane
made in a letter recently written to his
former wife, now Madame Gould" She
is receiving weekly and even daily en-
treaties from the spendthrift Count,
beseeching her to see him. He desires
an interview In the hope that he can
wheedle her into settling an annuity
upon him, but thus far she has turned
a deaf ear to all his pleadings and
the constant overtures of the entire
Castellane family.
Even the Countess Jean de Castellane
who has all along been one of Bonis
strongest champions, has buried her
animosity toward Nine. Gould and i'm
plored her to make desirable money
arrangements.
1t is believed by Nine Gould's friends
that she will ignore Boni's demands for
alimony until in desperation he con-
sents to give up all claims on their
children, although he is legally entitled
to see them at certain intervals and
direct their education.
The high society women whom Nine
Gould antagonized in exposing their re-
lations with Boni are banded together
gainst her, and the opinion here is
that she can never regain her position
in society because of their revengeful
inSolence.
