MANSLAUGHTER CHARGE
AGAINST RICH AUTOIST
John Hamilton Tyson Is In
dicted for Killing Steward
of a Yacht Club
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

NEW YORK. Aug. 2s.-John Hamil-
ton Tyson. millionaire automobile own
er, whose Isotta car won the recent
Briarcliff race, was indicted today for
manslaughter in the second degree for
killing with his motor car Olof Gunder-
son, steward of the Columbia yacht
club, at Eighty-sixth street and North
river in February last.
1t is said that the Indictment of
Tyson was the outcome of the sting
of an aroused conscience, which led
Virginia Lawrence, an actress, to tell
what Tyson had told her about the
killing of the old steward. Tyson is
said to have employed every method
he could plan to conceal his connee-
tion with the crime.
Gundersen was knocked down about
a. M, February %, by an auto pass
ing Eighty fifth street and Amsterdam
avenue. at about 60 miles an hour. The
car continued on it's way without stop
ping for the injured man, who died the
following day in Roosevelt hospital.

Two men, the two who of all the

E. A. c. Kosta, the beautiful woman
who killed herself at the Hotel Ather-
ton last Wednesday, were most to her,
met at the bedside of the daughter of
the woman at the sanatorium where
she is slowly recovering from an in
jury received recently. The two men
were E. A. Kosta, the woman's hus-
band, and Tex Rickard, who has been
both friend and benefactor of the
Kosta family.
Kosta reached San Francisco late
yesterday afternoon and at once re-
paired to the sanatorium- The scene
between father and daughter was af-
fecting in the extreme. The father
broke down completely at sight of his
sick child, and the two mingled their
tears in the effort to console each
other for the loss of the woman who
was wife OF the man and mother of the
girl.
Hours went BY while the father and
daughter remained together. then
Kosta thought of his friend Rickard
been waiting at his hotel fer the sum-
mons, Immediately went to the hospi
tai, where he was received by Kosta.
At first not word was said by the
two men; they simply clasped hands
That was enough; each understood
Their friendship was of too real a
character to make words necessary.
Later kosta said:
My wife was lovely woman. In
all the years / knew her she was good
and kind to every one. Tessa was our
only child and my wife worshiped her,
so much so that she worried herself
sick. every time Tessa had any little
trouble. So l can understand how she
became so nervous when she was told
that Tessa might be an invalid for life.

lican convention in general have
been the means of rousing the women
of the equal suffrage league to fever
heat with several results.
The first battle fire was lit yester-
day morning, when Oakland literally
boiled with suffragettes. They poured
out of the Liberty theater, after the
last session of the republican conven-
tion. in a chattering, indignant stream,
dividing their comment between resent
ment at what they considered, under
the circumstances. an insulting vote Of
thanks, offered them by the delegates
for their attendance at the. convention.
and praise of Mrs. Agnes Pease Of
Utah, whose prompt rejection of that
vote was ringing through the theater
before the motion was fairly passed
CALLS LEAGUE TO ARMS
So fired were they by the excite
ment of this episode that Mrs. Lillian
Horace Coffin, their leader, called an
immediate meeting of the entire league,
suggesting that they adjourn from the
steps and foyer of the Liberty theater
con block.
Here, for five minutes, the halls echoed
to their voices. Mrs. Pease, who ar
rived a few moments after the others,
was surrounded by an eager, congratu-
latory group and given cheer on cheer.
Mrs. Coffin presently succeeded in call
ing the meeting to order, and the mat
ter of the rejected vote of thanks was
gone into thoroughly. motion was
made by Mrs. Mary Keith that a let
ter of appreciation be written to the
Los Angeles delegates, one of whom
had made the motion for the repudiated
vote Of thanks, expressing apprecia-
ton of the spirit that prompted it,
however unwelcome the vote itself
proved. This was opposed by the 40
or more women present, who decided
to, stand by the action of Mrs. Pease.
and to ignore what they termed a
substitution of gallantry for Justice"
Mrs. Pease was given rising vote of
thanks for her courage, and another
round of cheers.

KEY ROUTE IS.
TO BUILD INTO
CONTRA COSTA
Projected Extension Likely to
Be Run From Sacramento
Street, Berkeley
Activity in Two Counties Indi-
Gates Important Move
Is Pending
System Is Strong Financially
and Well Able to Lengthen
Its Lines

OAKLAND, Aug. 2s.-Plans are in
hand for extension of the Key Route
into Contra Costa county, although
officials of the road have refused to
announce what direction the road will
take. Speculation over the projected
extension leads to the strong surmise
that the road will be run from the
northern end of the proposed Sacra-
mento street extension in Berkeley.
ACTIVE IN TWO COUNTIES
After the consolidation of the San
Francisco, Oakland and San Jose rail-
way (Key Route) and the San Fran
cisco and Bay Counties railway com
pany, under the name of the San, Fran
cisco, Oakland and San Jose CONSOLE
dated railway company, copies of the
new articles of Incorporation were
quietly filed with the county clerk of
Contra Costa county at Martinez A
copy was also filed at the clerks office
of Santa Clara county at San Jose
This action meant that the Key Route
-compapy holds interests in Contra Costa
county, and at the time deemed pros
pitious by the directors of the company
will become active in both Contra Costa
and Santa Clara counties.
1t is well known that the Key Route
has made extensive surveys for right
of way through Alameda county toward
San Jose, and that it has also been
engaged in plans for other important
extensions in other directions, notably
northward through Berkeley.
That some of these plans have not
been matured is due in large part, ac-
cording to current belief. in railway
circles, to the recent financial stress,
which compelled many large corpora
tions to abandon for the time being
projects involving immediate large ex-
penditures-
GOOD FINANCIAL STANDING
The Key Route is particularly ia
vored in the financial standing of it's
securities. It's bonds have been held at
a premium and heretofore the company
has had no difficulty in putting through
its transactions for the purpose of
raising money for improvements and
extensions to its system.
AS soon as the money market is nor
NAL it is expected among those in touch
with the railway situation that the
company will resume active extension
work Concerning the situation, Samuel
J. Taylor, secretary of the company,
said:
while 1t is true that the Key Route
owns a number of rights of way in
Contra Costa county, ] am not prepared
to say anything as to the company s
plans. The reason that the consolidated
companys articles of Incorporation
were filed at Martinez and at San Jose,
as well as in Oakland, was to comply
with the state law. That law requires
railway corporation to file copies of
articles in all counties where it does
business. / am not at liberty to say
more on the subject at this time"
