CONGESTION OF URBAN

California Promotion Body
Complies Statistics on
Conditions

The remarkable congestion of tn
population of the State about the two
great centers, San Francisco and Los
Angeles, as shown by recent statistics
of the California Promotion Committee,
is the object of some comment by the
promoters.
To settle the interior of the State is
considered important by this body. End
a. present it is bending it's efforts to
that end by influencing large land
figures as compiled by the Promotion
Committee from banking returns and
reports OF City Clerks, postmasters and
County Assessors show:
According to the best estimates California had
on on January l. 1907 a population of 22lI .s9I.
miles Of San Francisco and Los Angeles.
Within fifty miles of San Francisco is pop
ulation of s75,6s7 and within the same radius
of Los Angeles is a population of 341 .S7T. These
figures show that for alr the interior towns and
cities and on all the farms Of the great State
there are 1000, S93 people.
According to the records Of the postmasters In
the areas, the receipts for the year 1905
in all the postoffees within fifty miles Of San
Francisco amounted TO 81 25T, ,4S1. and for the
same area tributary to Los Angeles the receipts
amounted to 81 ,10l, 712.
The business done near the two centers.. as
shown by the banking business, is remarkable.
The bank deposits of the San Francisco 6fty-
mile radius amount to sS73. .o34, T42, and those
amount to $106, 6l3. .90s. The bank cearings for
1906 amount to s.. 1874 254. 146 in the San Fran

CHARGED WITH MURDER
by HIS YOUNG DAUGHTER
William Coulter TO Be Tried
I for Alleged Staying
of Wife

The pathetic scene Of 1s-yesr-old
girl charging her father with murder
was enacted in the warrant department
OF the District Attorneys ofsce yester-
Gay. Jessie Coulter. accompanied by
her sister Alice, aged ls, signed the
complaint on which the detectives hope
70 send William Coulter to the gallows
for the murder OF his wife, who died
at the California Womans Hospital In
Sacramento street Saturday afternoon.
The two little girls were the sole
witnesses of the terrible beating which
Coulter gave his wife on Sunday after
noon, December 2. and which they be-
leve was mainly responsible for their
mothers death. But for the fact that
Mrs Coulter died after a long spell Of
inconsistencies and was unable 70
make an antemortem statement the
children would have been spared the
odious task which the police believe
is necessary to secure a conviction.
Following the signing OF the warrant
Coulter's name was transferred from
the detinue book to the prison record
and he was formally charged with
murder.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC FAILS
To SECURE A REHEARING
Petition Curtly Denied by
the Circuit Court
Of Appeals

The Southern Pacific Company re-
ceived a vital blow yesterday in its
night against the admission OF the
Western Pacific Railway Company into
the bay territory by the refusal OF the
United States Circuit Court Of Appeals
10 grant il a rehearing. The court al
lows the appellant thirty days time in
which 10 prepare a petition for a writ
OF certiorari to the Supreme Court Of
the United States. This alternative is
only forlorn hope, for II is history
that the United States Supreme Court
never grants a writ Of certiorari un-
less a very strong prima facie showing
is made.
II viii not be long before the issue
viii be definitely determined as TO
whether a competing road shall be al
lowed TO reach the bay shore on the
Oakland side TO relieve the freight con-
gestiOn.
AS the case now stands the United
States Circuit Court OF Appeals has de-
cided that the Southern Pacific Com
pauy has no title TO the strip OF land
along the north training wall on the
Oakland side, upon which the Western
Pacific had started to lay its tracks

SPECIAL DISPATCH 10 THE CALL

WASHINGTON. March 4-The San
Francisco SubtreasUry item in the sun
dry civil bill. as signed by the Presi-
dent. appropriates s12s.oOo for the pur-
chase of additional land for the site.
and s175.00O for the construction OF
the building.
The conferees fought hard over this
item and late last night it was thought
the appropriation for more land would
be killed. The compromise appropria-
tion of $12S.000 was declared TO be sufh-
cfent to purchase two lots adjoining
the subtreasury site on the east side,
giving the Government the corner of
Montgomery and Commercial streets.
Treasury officials. however. are skep-
tical on this point and predict that
they will be unable to purchase the
lots at that figure In that event the
building will be delayed until next win
ter in the hope of obtaining a larger
appropriation
Dispatches from Washington to the
effect that Congress Is inclined 70 cut
down the appropriation for site for
the new subtreasury building in san
Francisco are explained here as show
ing a disposition at the national capi
tai to underestimate the value OF local
real estate.
The subtreasury is now installed in
temporary quarters in Commercial
street above Montgomery. II is pro
posed to purchase a frontage in Mont
gomery street of about seventy-fve
feet. which. with the site adjoining. al
ready owned by the Government. would
give depth of 12O feet For the
Montgomery street property the Gov
ernment was asked s2500 front foot
or thereabouts. IN Washington this
was considered too high, although II
was stated that Montgomery street
property in the vicinity recently
brought a higher figure.
The corner which the Government
desired is owned by Ignatz Steinhart
of the Anglo Californian Bank and oc
cupfed by the Yokohama Specie Bank.
The property adjoining. which the Gov
ernment also desires, Is owned by c. NJ.
Josslyn.
The situation has been complicated
BY the activity Of some local real es-
tate dealers. who have attempted TO
sell sites elsewhere to the Government
The property in Pine street. formerly
occupied by the Stock Exchange, has
also been under consideration in Wash
ington but il is deemed too small for
such a building as the treasury on
cials desire.
Julius Jacobs. in charge Of the local
subtreasury, said yesterday tnat IL was
the intention OF the Government to
erect handsome structure in San
Francisco to cost up to S2.O0O.000. II
was pointed out by Jacobs that the
amount of business transacted through
the subtreasury necessitated the eX-
pendfture If such sum for an ade-
quate building The federal clearing
house in San Francisco, he said, was
exceeded in Importance only by those
of New York. Chicago and possibly
