NO STATE LEGISLATION
Arthur R. Briggs of this city. presi-
dent of the state board Of trade and
vice chairman of the executive COM
mittee of the congress. said last even
ing that California will have no re-
quests for legislation especially bene-
fetal to the state to present to the
congress, but that ii would have sug-
gestions of national Importance which
1t would have the congress consider.
Those are for coast defense work, ad-
ditional naval stations and river and
narbor improvements-all OF which af-
fairs rebound to the wealth and sta
oility OF the nation as an entity as
well as to California as a state
Two delicately balanced questions of
convention politics have arisen. They
hinge about the selection of the next
convention city and the election of the
next president of the congress-. Colo
rado would have both. Offering Denver
as the convention city and Thomas T.
Walsh. the millionaire mining man of
Denver and Washington. D. c., and
chairman Of the executive committee
of the congress. as the candidate for
president.
Texas. while less strongly arrayed in
cities would entertain the congress in
1909. Dallas and Fort Worth are claim
ants for the honor. and not until the
full Lone Star delegation arrives today
will the caucus decide which place to
agree upon Not to be outdone by Colo
rado. Texas also has candidate for
president in the person of Colonel Ike
I. Pryor of San Antonio. first vice presi-
dent of the congress. and through that
position in line for the presidency.
DENVER LEADS In FIGHT
AS Denver and the Colorado delega-
tion have made the better fight so far.
it is possible that the Rocky mountains
will acquire both the crown and the
throne.
Walsh said last evening that he
would not take the place unless it was
offered to him without a contest.
Pryor, in his turn, was reluctant to
admit that he was even considered for
the post. Pryor is we'll known through
out the west as the president OF the
American livestock association.
Seattle and Omaha are also in the
fight for the congress, but are not
equipped with alternate candidates for
the presidency.

last night that it would be graceful

gress are nominated by the committee

port of that committee is submitted

ington for enactment into laws.
J. B. Case of Abilene. Kan, is presi-
dent of the congress. He will call the
meeting to order at 10 o'clock. The
congress and the local civic bodies that
are interested in the convention desire
that the people of San Francisco, par
ticularly the men of affairs and bust
nessmen, attend the deliberations OF
the body, which will be a symposium
of the west and the demands of the
Pacific.
Prominent among the features of to-
days program will be the message to
the congress from President Theodore
Roosevelt, which is to be delivered by
his special representative, William R.
WHEELER, assistant secretary of COM
merce and labor. appointed from San
Francisco.
The message from Roosevelt will fur
nish the text for much of the discus
sion of the congress. The western poli-
cies OF the administration. especially
in the matter of forestry and irrigation
work, are bound to be conspicuous
anticipated that the presidents mes
sage to the unofficial legislature will
be filed with pertinent suggestions and
admonitions. Secretary Wheeler was
expected to arrive in the city yester-
day. but on his way from the east he
stopped at San Diego and was delayed
in reaching San-Francisco.
JOHN j. BARRETT TO SPEAK
Another important discussion of the
meeting will follow the address of John
j. Barrett envoy. extraordinary from 21

licsgto the congress. Barrett is director

irrigation congress just concluded at
Albuquerque, N. NJ, would be re-
peated here. But last evening, about the
ST. Francis hotel, where the dele

were heard for Pinchot, and those who

Assistance Is Called From Cam
pus, but Maniac Makes
Good His Escape

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Oct.
5.-Mystery envelops the identity of
man, evidently a lunatic, who at
tackled party of university girls while
they were enjoying picnic lunch at
Roble bridge over San Francisquito
creek on Friday evening, and made
good his escape before help arrived.
After hurting number of heavy clubs
and clods of earth among the girls
and setting fire to the brush surround
ing the spot where they were seated,
the marauder left the scene. The au-
thorities are making every effort to
Identify the assailant
The young ladies in the party were
all members of the Montiesta club, the
pus. Among them were Misses Effie
and Ethel Gillett, daughters of the gov
ernor of California. They had attended
club meeting and later went to the
bridge across San Francisco creek to
eat a lunch.
SEND FOR ASSISTANCE
They had been seated a short time
when a heavy stick was hurled among
them from the opposite side of the
stream. Immediately following there
was a shower of sticks and clods of
earth and unearthly yells. The girls
at first thought they were the victims
of college prank. but the situation
became serious when their assailant
lighted the brush surrounding the spot
where they were, and they then dis
patched two of their number to the
university for help.
The messengers went to the home of
DR.. Jordan, whose wife directed them
to call out the men from the power
house. This was done, but before the
rescuers arrived the girls had sue
ceeded in driving off their assailant.
The matter was kept secret for
time, but finally became known through
the inadvertence of one of the young
ladies who was in the party.
The young ladies who saw the
marauder describe him as having been
tall, clean shaven and wearing gray
cap.

Federal Judge in Los Angeles
Renders Decision on
New Points

LOS ANGELES, Oct. By an. oral
decision of Judge Wellborn in the
United States district court today the
power of the federal courts to try re-
bate cases that heretofore have been
regarded as strictly state offenses was
strongly laid down.
Upon demurrer to an Indictment
charging the Penn fruit company with
accepting rebates from the Southern
Pacific company, 1t was held that re-
payment to the fruit company for the
expense of hauling its oranges to the
freight house was within the pro-
visions of the interstate commerce reg
ulations.
AS far as known, there are no re-
ported decisions on this same point,
and the ruling of Judge Wellborn in

RFFORMfR FOUND
At WINE SUPPER
Head of Police Commission
Makes Merry With Chorus
Girls at Late Hour

STOCKTON, Oct. 5.-Even admitting
that it is permissible for the president
of police board to possess some of the
frailties of human nature; and conced-
ing that a vigorous defense of temper
ance and moral laws in the day time
does not necessarily affect ones atti-
tude toward them after dark; and
agreeing that supper in fashionable
cafe with several pretty chorus girls
is not unheard of offense-eyen so,
it is difficult for the residents of this
city to understand how it happens that
Ernst Wagner. president of the board
of police and fire commissioners, was
one Of the six persons discovered when
the police raided Madden's cafe here at
3 o'clock last Sunday morning.
The other five were two drummeTs
who Were going throuPh town and
three girls who had taEeA paSt in a
theatrical performance few hours be-
fore, and with these and their personal
histories the town is not at all con-
cerned.
But Wagner is-another story for both
as one of the high representatives Of
the law and as fire commissioner he
has been most active in his efforts
to enforce such of the town ordinances
as made for temperance and morality.
Wagner it was who vigorously sup
ported the Sunday closing ordinance,
which prohibited the sale of liquor
from IL o'clock Saturday night until S
o'clock Monday morning, and it was
Wagner who was opposed to a pro-
posed transfer of saloon license from
the business district of the town to
the tenderloin on the ground that it
would lessen the moral tone of the
community. All this helps to make his
fall from grace the more startling to
the community.
President Wagner has presented his
resignation from Office to a brother
commissioner, and its formal accept
ance will be among the business trans
acted at the next meeting of that body
The little supper party took place after
the play and was not interrupted until
several bottles of wine had been opened
and the attention of Captain John Craig
and officer Tom Green had been called
to the occupants of the secluded little
dining room. The affair has caused
much talk here, where Wagner is the
manager of large hotel in addition to
his public Offices.

PRESIDENT MAY COME

If Reports Are Not Satisfactory
He Will Make Flying
Trip Soon
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

WASHINGTON. Oct. 5.-The presi-
dent is carefully watching the trend of
events, and If reports during the next
fortnight are not satisfactory he will
make a whfrlwind trip to San Fran
cisco, making few speeches going
and coming. If he makes the trip his
most important utterances will be at
the Paciflc coast metropolis.
The only question now being con-
sidered by the president is whether his
stumping tour would do more good
than harm. He has an abundance of
material that has never been made pub
lie, much of it directly affecting the
Pacific coast.

Is not toadyism. We all know the

AGAIN CARRIES OFF
HIGHEST AWARD

Three consecutive times at the
San Antonio International Fair, two
consecutive times at the State Fair
OF Arkansas, at Hot Springs and
recently at the state Fair OF Texas
at Dallas The Tyler Commercial
College OF Tyler Texas, is conclu.
sively proving the superiority OF their
students work, and their modern
equipment over that OF other schools,
by carrying off the highest award
In six consecutive contests, AZ the
State Fair OF Texas at Dallas the
exhibit OF the Tyler Commercial coll
lsge occupied a greater space than
that OF all the other commercial
school exhibits combined Its ex-
hibit consisted Of moro than four
times the amount Of students work
in Bookkeeping, Shorthand, Tcleg-
raphy, and four times the amount of
practical office appliances OF any
other commercial schools exhibit,
After witnessing the excellent
work OF their students, their modern
office appliances and up-to-date
methods OF teaching, one can easily
understand why this school had the
largest day enrolment OF Bookkeep-
ing, Business Training, Shorthand,
