business and not in terms of right and
wrong? If we adopt Mr.. Bryan's pro-
posal to what period of production is
the prohibition to apply? Is the excess
for a day or for a month to be con-
sidered? Or is the average production
for year to be taken? And what sys-
tenn shall be devised by which suitable
information may be furnished in the
nature of danger signals along the
routes of trade so that the manufac-
turer may know he is about to exceed
the prescribed ratio? He may justly
be required to govrn his own conduct,
but how shall he be apprised of the
conduct of others upon which is to de-
pend his guilt or innocence?'
Let us repeat that no law defying
corporation has anything to fear from
you save what it will suffer in the
general paralysis of business which any
attempt on your part to reduce to
practice what you nave advocated
would bring This paralysis would
affect the wage worker, the farmer, the
small business man moro than it
would affect the great business man.
But it would affect the latter, too.
WHY Taft is Worthy.
Therefore. l hope and believe that all
farsighted citizens who wish to see
this country prosper in material things
will support Mr. Taft. But, above all,
ask for support for him because he
stands for the moral uplift of the ma
ton, because his deeds have made good
his words. and because the policies TO
which he is committed are of i'm
measurable consequence alike to the
honor and the interests of the whole
American people.

]. NJ. Hannaford, second vice presi-
of traffic, arrived in the city yester-
day from the south. He is accompa,
MED by Mrs. Hannaford, who is the
sister of Newton H. Foster. for many
years with the Southern Pacific, and
now the purchasing agent of the San
Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake line.
I'VE have been having a gloriously
idle time in Los Angeles and the
SOUTH" said Hannaford. I'VE needed a
rest and so we thought we would ex-
change the rigors of the climate of
st. Paul for the balmy airs of Los
Angeles.
The weather was delightful when
we were there, and we left the south
with many regrets. Naturally we
came to San Francisco. We have
heard so much of what you have done
that l came here to satisfy myself as
to the accuracy of the statements.
can not find words to express my sur
prise. My only regret is that our stay
is so limited, as we leave for the
north tomorrow night.
There has been a great deal done
in the way of railroad construction
in the north. We expect good results

of work that is undertaken there is
with that view.
THE Joining of the Hill lines with
the Burlington system is also an i'm
portant piece of work
''Yes. L most certainly look forward
to a great travel into the northwest
next spring. The Alaska-Yu ex-
position will attract a large number
of people and of the richer class, but
the real great attraction is the cheap
rate to the northwest.
People in the east are beginning
to realize that in Washington there are
opportunities for all kinds of agri-
cultural usefulness.
They are taking up the industry
of raising fruit and large acreages will
be brought under cultivation in the
course of the next few years.
IAN idea of the extent of travel to
which we are looking forward may
be had from the fact that Mr.. Hill
has ordered for the Northern Pacific
passenger equipment amounting to
$4,000 and delivery is beginning.
The entire coast is on the. eve of
a great boom and the railroads are
getting ready to handle the big move
ment to the coast.
The next few years will see a big
increase to the present population-a
bigger increase than you people in the
west realize, and you should prepare
yourselves for this immigration"

HO0DOO OWL SHIPPED
TO PLUNGER LANGDON
Bronze Bird From New York
Not Welcome and Is Given
to BILLY" Pinkerton

Detective BILLY" NPinkerton is not
superstitious. And this is the reason
why a life sized bronze owl, with an
endless string of direful happenings
charged to his baleful influence, is
now blinking wisely and solemnly in
his apartments at the st. Francis.
The owl has long history and It is
a somber one. 1t originally belonged
to Mark A. Mayer, being the gift of
George Ahrens. two prominent horse
men of New York. Matters went from
bad to worse with Mayer, and finally
he took the evil bird over to Louis
Martin, the restaurateur. But the
first night that the owl began to wink
the startled Frenchmen went wild
'Sacre nom dun chienw Nom dune
pipe" they cried, and forthwith de-
manded the removal of the i'll omen.
Mayer confided his unhappy plight
to George w. (Whitey) Langdon, the
plunger.
Why. 1 wouldn't have that BIRD
around me for any money" Langdon
said I'll give you $40 If you let me
destroy It."
Yesterday there arrived at the St
Francis, where Langdon is staying. a

way. He determined to destroy it, and

STOPS ELECTION ON
PUBLIC UTILITIES
Judge SeaweII Rules Against
Plan to Take Over Quasi
Public Corporations
Application for Writ of Mandate
Against Clerk Behan OF
Supervisors Denied

The election petitioned for early IN
the year by about $4,000 electors to
determine whether or not the city shall
ACQUIRE the street railroad and tele-
phone systems will not be held. Judge
Seawell yesterday decided that the pc
tions do not conform 10 the require
ments Of the charter. and he therefore
denied the application OF Daniel OCon-
nell for a writ of mandate compelling
John r. Behan, clerk of the board OF
supervisors to examine and verify
the signatures TO the petitions.
The election the petitioners asked
for was as TO the proposed acquisition
by the city of the properties and fran
chises OF the United Railroads, the
California street cable company, the
Pacific states telephone company and
the Home telephone company. The
ground upon which Behan refused to
examine and verify the signatures
was that the charter prescribed no
procedure for ascertaining their gen
1.imeness. and that he could not be
compelled TO certify to a fact of which
he had no knowledge. The only means
of verificatiOn suggested by O'Connell
was comparison OF the signatures to
the petition with those in the great
register Of voters. This would be
merely q certihcation Of the clerks
opinion. Judge Seawell said whereas
the charter requires him TO certify
that the signatures are in fact gen
Uine.
EXTENT OF ESTIMATES
The judge also pointed out that the
plans and estimates the charter re-
Quires the supervisors to have made
Of a proposed utility are those of orig
inal construction and complexion of
such utility by the city. and not those
Of the past construction OF a utility
by any other corporation. 1t is, there
fore, clearly implied, the court held,
that petitions for elections on the ac-
QUESTION Of public utilities are limited
10 such utilities as are to be con-
structed and completed by the city.
EVen although the supervisors may in
the end conclude 10 submit a propo-
sition for the purchase Of existing util-
ities. the proceedings must be in augu-
rated by a petition for original con-
struction and completion by the city.
The board IS thereupon required to
procure plans and estimates Of cost Of
such original construction" Judge Sea-
wells opinion proceeds, in outlining
the correct procedure; and. after they
have been furnished. to solicit offers
for the sale to the city and county of
an existing utility such as that men
toned in the petition. If the price
demanded is deemed too high, the board
may proceed to formulate propositions
IN accordance with its own plans"
The petitions were also defective in
that they asked for the acquisition of
the franchises of the companies. There
Is no provision in the charter authoriz-
ing the acquisition of franchises by
the city, Judge Seaweu held.

RESTORING COMPLEyIONS

The following prescription is
contributed as being one of the
most remarkable known for
bringing back the rosy tint Of
youth to the skin:
Two ounces Rose Water; one
ounce Spirits of Cologne; four
ounces Sartoin. Put the Sartoin
into pint of hot water (not
bOiling) and when dissolved and
cooled add the Rose Water and
Spirits of Cologne and strain
through a. fine cloth. Any large
bottle will serve as a receptacle
IL it can be closed air-tight.
These simple ingredients can
be obtained at any we'll stocked
drug store and easily mixed at
home. This preparation should
be applied once a day after
washing. 1t is said the results
become apparent after the first
few applications. but the treat
ment should be continued until
the rose tint complexion becomes
permanent.
