PLANS FOR SAFETY OF
PUPILS IN OLD SCHOOL s
City Architect Tharp Provides
Specifications for New Stair
ways and Doors

Work under the 100000 appropria-
ton in the June budget to safeguard
the old permanent schoolhouses by the
installation of outside staircases and
sloping ways and the widening of in
side staircases. opening of doors. etc.
will begin shortly and be vigorously
prosecuted during the summer. At the
mayors suggestion Works Commission
er Day spent several weeks recently
looking over all the old schoolhouses
with this object in view. City Archf-
tect Tharp has completed the plans for
the outside staircases, etc, in the cases
of the three story schoolhOuses and
upon their formal approval by the
boards of education and works, bids
will be called for.
Doors for the first floor rooms are to
lead directly to the school lot or street.
for the second floor slides will be
placed outside the buildings. and for
the third floor outside staircases will
be installed on every building unpro-
vided with fire escapes. These meas
ures, combined with the widening of
inside staircases and the removal of
partitions. ETC., it is believed, will make
impossible in San Francisco such a dis
aster as that at Collingwood, o., where
hundreds of children were trampled
and burned to death last March.

JAPANESE CABINET
RESIGNS IN BODY

TOKYO. July 4.-The designations
OF the Japanese cabinet were rendered
at noon today. There is reason to be-
lieve that the emperor has instructed
Marquis Katsura to form a new cab
met, but the announcement will not be
made officially before July Z, and pos
sibly may be delayed until the arrival
Of Prince Ito from Seoul July IL.
1t is expected that the next cabinet
will be composed largely of the ad-
herents Of Marquis Yamagata and will
be constructed on nonpartisan lines.
The premier. Marquis Saionji. de-
cided some days ago TO tender his res
ignation. His nominal reason is i'll
health. The ministers are all strict
members of the seiyuka or constitu-
tionalist party and ii was therefore
necessary that they resign with him
The actual reason for the resignation
of the premier is understood to be the
position taken by Marquis Inouye, Sec
nstary Of the home department, regard
ing the future financial policy Of Mar
ouis Saionii. This includes retrench-
ment in the army and navy, the post
ponement of public works. a demand
for sinking fund and the yearly re-
@aVment of loans.

LOvEALL'S STEPSON
ADMITS KIDNAPPING
Accomplice in DOmengine Affair
Confesses to Sheriff, Naming
Relative and Rogers
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

D-A'-
FRESNO, July s.-Angry because his
wouldbe partner in crime disappointed
him, Charles Barnes, stepson OF Tony
LoveaH, the bandit who in company
with Cleve Rogers is alleged to have
captured and held for ransom MISS
Domengine of Coalinga. in this county,
today made a full confession to Sheriff
r. d. Chittenden.
Barnes had been arrested by Marshal
Moffat of Coalinga on the charge OF
completely in the kidnapping and at hrst
denied his guilt. But when confronted
with the evidence by the sheriff he fell
through and told remarkable story
of crime, the entire purport of which
was not given out. He did not conf1ne
himself to the recent kidnapping, but
implicated both Rogers and Lovean in
a series Of robberies, in and near Goa
linga, which have kept the officers
guessing for some time.
According TO his statements the Kid
naping Of the Domengine girl. had been
planned some six weeks ago. but Love
all took sick with asthma just before
IL was to be put into execution and left
Barnes alone in a buggy on lonely
road close to the Domengine place dur
ing nearly all one night waiting for
him to arrive
The scheme was then temporarily

opportunity, which came last Monday
This time Barnes drove Loveal and
Rogers in a buggy to the scene of the
kidnapping, but did not actually enter
the place. He insisted that he should
stop the rig a short distance this side
OF the Domengine place, on which the
three men finally agreed.
1t is said that Rogers has made a
confession to the district attorney
maintaining that Loveall is the ring
leader of the affair. The latter still
stoutly denies all connection with the
case and declares he did not know a
crime had been committed until he was
told of II in a CoaIinga saloon.

VOTERS PREPARE
TO BEAT MACHINE

CROCKETT, July S.-Republicans Of
this section of Contra Costa county
turned out last night at a big mass
meeting held in advocacy of primaries
The republican county committee.
headed by A. B. Mckenzie, with A B.
Coleman, a member of the state execu-
tive committee, and the Call<ins syndi-
cate combination, are lighting pri-
maries 1t is a matter of common
political report in this county that the
fight against primaries is being waged
by the state machine, represented by
George Hatton, one of the leading
triumvirate of lieutenants on the polit-
ical staff of William F. Herrin, head of
the Southern Pacific law and political
bureaus.
Attempts are being made to prevent
the holding of primaries in order that
a controlled convention shall be held
this fall. With such a convention can
didates satisfactory to the Southern Pa
ciic machine can be named. If the peo-
pie are given a voice in the selection
of nominees Contra Costa county will
smash the machine. The election to be
held Tuesday will determine whether
primaries shall be held in August-prf-
maries that will come under the law
and compel the organization to accept
the will of the voters.
voters will declare for primaries. More
than a majority in the county signed a
petition calling for this election. Not
withstanding the circumlocution of the
law, the people have followed it, and
they give evidence of continuing until
they have removed the power from a
dominated county committee to stick
up lot of political dummies and to
call the aggregation a representative
party convention.
Involved in the primary fight is an
'organiza ton" attack upon Superior
Judge William S. Wells. He had the
temerity to oppose men handy to the
machine. For his punishment defeat
has been ordered. Judge Wells and his
friends met the issue. They took up
the fight for primaries at the outset.
insisted upon them, and they have car
ried on the campaign against the at
tempts of the county committee to
beat them. Judge Wells friends de-
clare that the fight to prevent the call
ing of primaries is direct drive at
him because he had seen fit on several
occasions firmly and unequivocalIy to
assert his absolute fear of no machine.

A warrant was issued by Police
Judge Cabaniss yesterday for the arrest
of Joseph Penso, on a charge of obtain
ing money by false pretenses. The
complaining witness is Jesse i AIav1
ander, 1851 Pierce street. The com

him on May IL and said Alexander's 8
father had been arrested and he had
been employed as an attorney to rem
resent him. On that representation
which was false, Penso got sS from

that II they didn't put him through
they would put ia an old farmer by the
name Of Johnson. who lives out in the
san Joaquin valley. and who everybody
knew didn't have a cent, and they
would put him in.
Q.-Well, did you ever know any in
stances Of jury bribing by the Southern
Pacific machine2
SYSTEM OF GETTING
ITS MEN ON JURIEs
A-The' Southern Pacific machine has
got a system of getting people that it
wants on iuries. Wherever they have
got the board Of supervisors you will
find that board Of supervisors will ap-
point Southern Pacific men, and then
their lawyers will know these men,
and when they come TO the juries they
viii have these men upon these juries.
Q.-They can pack a jury box 10 suit
any purpose they desire?
A--When they have got the clerk
and the deputy clerk, and the board of
supervisors. and the sheriff or the
chief Of police as the case may be. why,
they can absolutely put their people
on; and that is no longer a secret. The
services of the political lawyers are
contingent upon their ability TO pack
juries and TO win cases that way.
Q.-Do you know anything about
any instances where Herrin has di-
rectly ordered the result in any trial?
A-Oh. he used TO DO that yes; all
the time. through me. He used to
send word down TO do those things,
but I always turned them over TO
Mackenzie and he worked them out.
Why. he would just telegraph down
that he wanted this done or that done,
and il was done If it was right it was
on the ground that it ought TO be
done; if IL wasn't. / wouldn't DO it. But
the judges were all friendly, especially
the justices AS a rule they are all
friendly 10 the Southern Pacific, be-
cause 4 justice don't like TO antagonize
anybody.

HERRIN FRIENDLY
TO HAYES BROTHERS

Q.-How about Santa Clara poll
tice? What do the Hayes brothers.
what is the Hayes brothers power
there?
A. Well the Hayes brothers own the
San Jose Mercury. and they have a
great political machine. which was
clipped q little in this last election
that is. the wings OF it and the tail
feathers Of il were clipped-but they
are as powerful as ever, because Mr..
Herrin is friendly to them, and OF
course Mackenzie & Co. will take or
ders from Herrin and see that they
are not really hurt. They are in bet
ter fix than they were before. the
way I look at it.
This is the situation, without any
reflection upon any human soul: The
railroad company has TO be in politics
now TO protect its interests, because
the politicians have got so greedy that
they will twist their interests wherever
they get an opportunity. if they don't
get paid.
Q.-And that system has been built
UP by the railroad company itself?
RAILROAD AND VENAL
PRESS RESPONSIBLE
A-That system has been built up
by the venal press and py the railroad
company itself. and so long as present
conditions exist, it viii grow worse
and worse; and never. until you take
the methods that 1 have outlined. in
my judgment. viii there be any show
or hope Of correction. But you take
your politicians of today and they have
10 do politics. II you go into the news
paper business you have to run news
paper and run 1T on newspaper lines,
and under the conditions that exist
And so il is in any other business. and
It isn't any different in politics. and
there isn't any man that can be ad-
vanced in politics that don't take polit-
ical lines to do it, and there is no
person who is advanced who can't be
criticized for his methods. unless he
be a man like a judge ought to be,
who is friendly and absolutely handed
the place on silver platter by the
Southern Pacific railroad company

EASY TO CONVICT
A MAN OF FELONY

Q-Da YOU think IL would be EoSsi-
bic for Herrin TO give an order TO have
q man convicted Of a felony. and that
man be convicted as a result of that
order?
A.-duSt as easy as il is for him TO
speak the word; when he has got the
machine, il would be an accident if he
Wasn't convicted. Or, on the contrary,
IF he wanted a man released, il would
be just an accident if he wasn't re-
leased.
Q.-And in case he wasn't released
by the lower courts. would he have any
influence with the higher courts?
A.-Why. you don't have to ask me
that question, when you have got your
graft prosecution here. You wait until
you get through with that and it will
prove itself If you ever get IL where
II pinches Herrin's corns, where they
get close 10 Herrin, if You don't see

take it back. When you get close to

why, send for me and I will retract

Washington April 2l.-A slight split in the New
York delegation made its appearance in the House
this afternoon. when REPRESENTATIVES Bennet
Parsons and Alexander voted against bill intro
duced by Representative Sherman and reported
from the Committee on Ways and Means by Repre-
sentative Payne The bill requires the Circuit
Court Of Appeals to pass on the facts in customs
appeal cases.
This is radical change OF existing law which
now confines the jurisdiction of a circuit judge in
customs cases to questions of Law. Messrs Parsons
and Bennett argued that the biII would make the
administration or such cases impossible as the
records are usually voluminous as to take weeks
for adjudication. Neither Of them had been ap-
prised that the bill coming up and every
