SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE GALL

SAN JOSE. Feb. 27-Mrs. Charles
Lux, wife of Charles Lux. son of the
famous cattle king, who, as a partner
of the firm of Miller & Lux, was
known throughout this state. has. un-
known to acquaintances in the most
exclusive social set of this city, been
confined in the womans ward Of the
city prison since last Tuesday. The
fact became known last night when
newspaperman discovered Charles Lux
on the outside of the city prison walls
clinging to the bars of a cell and con-
versing with his wife within.
There is no charge against Mrs Lux
on the police books. but she. together
with her husband. have been drinking
heavily for the last two years. and she
has been locked up at the request OF
ex-District Attorney ]. H. Campbell.
who is near relative.
CampbelFs action was taken because
of the frequent complaints made at
police headquarters by neighbors who
reside near the Lux home in Fox ave-
nue.. 1t is alleged that for the past
several years their lives have been
one long carousal. and the stories OF
the drunken. orgies in the Lux home
are almost beyond belief. The case is
a sad one, as Mrs. Lux and her husband
are still young, Mrs. Lux being only
34ayears of age. She formerly moved
in the most exclusive social set of this
city. and was noted for her charitable
acts. For the past several years a
guardian has been employed to look
after their estate.

from his government to Presi-

been a matter of gossip in diplo-

the government at Washington is
contemplating the sending of a
formal note TO the powers con-
tanning a protest to Japan against
Japanese aggrandizement in Man
ehuria. but it is now known for the

China to ask this country's aid in the
protection of her interests
There already has been some discus

Japan and the Washington govern
ment relative to Japan.s Manchurian
policy and the way has been paved to
full and amicable understanding.
President Roosevelt's initiative in the
matter is consonant with the previously
declared policy of this country relative

is upon this former declaration that the

City Health Officer in
Drunk Cell
DR.. Herbert Gunn Fights Chauf=
feur After Having Been
Elected From Saloon

For becoming too insistent with a
chauffeur while the morning sun was
climbing over the horizon DR.. Herbert
Gum. health officer. spent part of
Monday in one of the cells for drunks
only at the Bush street station.
Though he was carrying on overload
of corn juice Gum was wise enough
to say Herbert Wulson" to the desk
sergeant, so that his identity did not
become known until last night.
For a couple of days prior to his
finish at the cells Gum had been doing
the Zine" in Fillmore street. When he
started out he had an automobile. but
during the progress of the lark Gums
driver is supposed to have resigned and
steered himself to a secluded spot.
Early Monday morning Gums
rough house" antics in Fillmore
street thirst establishment became too
pronounced and he was promptly
rushed through the door by a husky
bouncer after having refused to leave
peaceably.
After this experience Gum decided
to seek another resort. Spotting an
automobile at Bush street and Van
Ness avenue, he doffed his hat, gave
three cheers and started to tumble into
the machine.
Go on, OF kid. Wen hit 'er up fer
home an have a couple of drinks"
shouted Gum as he tried to pile into
the car.
But the chauffeur could not be per-
suaded. "Cut out the rough work and
take another way home" he said.
Gum, however, was sure that he was
talking to his own driver and being
kept out of his own machine. Bitterly
he fought the driver who had all he
could do to hold his own. A large
crowd OF ''owT" pedestrians were at
tracted and enjoyed the excitement Of
battle until Policeman W.. D. Scott
gathered Gum in and sent the auto and
its driver on their way.
After spending several hours with
inebriates of various degrees Gum was
bailed out by W. II. Harrison.
Late Monday night the police found
Gums auto In front of a Fillmore
street cafe, where it had been waiting
for its owner.

upon thousands of Washington car riders
that even now, without any unique device
of cut-offs, IT is difficult to operate the
lines on schedule. Some passengers insist
on standing on steps when the aisles OF
the cars are practically empty. They
make ingress and egress difficult and slow
and add seriously to the troubles of mo-
tormen and conductors in keeping their
cars in motion. Those cars that have
rallied platforms furnishing a line of en-
trance and exit are practically free from
this annoyance. 1t is understood that
the pay-as-you-enter cars, in which en-
trance is from the rear platform and exit
Is by the front, are the easiest to operate
owing to the lack of interference at the
steps The railway commission might
proftably investigate this matter of step
riding perhaps to the end of writing and
enforcing a regulation prohibiting passen
gers from choosing that place for their
passage. The conductors are supposed
now to keep people off the steps in order
to lessen the chances of accident. but they
cannot be expected to do much in this d.
rection unless the authorities cooperate
and give them more authority.

Step ISLANDERS.

The interstate commerce commissions
local railroad commission of citizens is in
receipt of many suggestions to cure de-
fects in the street railway system of the
capital. Some of these are more interest
ing than promising. One of them lately
transmitted was an outline of device to
prevent the starting of the street car until
the passenger had entered or left it. The
inventors intention is to put an end to
the accidents caused by the premature
starting of the cars, causing the people to
be thrown to the pavement The device
consists of a contact closed by pressure on
the step in such manner as to shut off
the current from the motors. Thus while
any one is standing on one of the steps the
car cannot be moved. Until there are
enough cars on the Washington lines to
take care of the passengers without
crowding the platforms, such a device
must be relegated to the freak class. 1t
would be impossible during the rush hour
to move a single car more than half the
distance of the route. Indeed. the habit
Of standing on the steps is SO firmly fixed

The American Reserve List.

This from the Westminster Gazette about
Mr. Roosevelt is an illustration:
'He has only once been President by

some of his predecessors have faded from

phrase "the woods are full Of them"
The hour strikes and the man appears.
If our reservists were few, our condition
would be perilous. A republic cannot
with safety become thus a one-man
country.
Let 1t be noted that the two leading fig
ures of the successful party in the recent
campaign possessed talents that were un-
guessed only a few years ago. William
H. Taft was federal Judge and Charles
E. Hughes a modest practitioner at the
New York bar. The hour struck in our
Philippine necessities. and Taft appeared; ;
it struck in our New York insurance ne
cessities and Hughes appeared. Today
these two men are reckoned among the
strongest the country has developed
within half a century. The one is going
into the White House unusually we'll
equipped for the duties of the presidency.
while the other is to enter upon a second
term as governor of the greatest state in
the Union. Judge Taft has risen in eight
years: Gov. Hughes in four.
But the point of grea test satisfaction is
that Tafts and Hugheses may be found
all over the country. The republic is

qualifications for the most difficult and re-

strike for them. but If it should they will

We have many men in reserve and
all are great assets" They have their
exits and their entrances, Shake
speare would say. While on the stage
they fill the public eye: when off. they
are content to watch the play, applaudng
when it is good. condemning when bad.
Mr.. Roosevelt has been cast for some big
roles. and has carried them to the great
satisfaction of his friends He is retiring
now, and large opportunities are coming
to others. If they are impressed the new
actors will soon have followings of their
own. Judge Taft would appear to be good
for eight years in the White House, and
Gov. Hughes seems certain of increasing
his stature during his new term at AL
bany. And then there will be others

The Marathon Winner Beaten.

Last nights race in New York. with
two men covering the classical Marathon
distance, on an indoor track, cannot be
regarded as a fair reproduction of the
event itself In England Hayes proved
himself the batter runner because he
covered the distance without assistance
and finished strong whereas Dorando col
lapSad in the home stretch, and would
undoubtedly never have crossed the line
but for help. There is material difference
between an indoor and an outdoor race.
The air in Madison Square Garden, with
thousands of people assembled and, despite
the prohibition against smoking, clouding
the atmosphere with tobacco fumes, was
unit for the lungs of racing men. The
monotonous grind around a track one
tenth of a mile long must have had a
depressing effect upon the runners, though
possibly this was in part offset by the
music and the cheers of their partisans.
II these conditions affecting both men
alike Dorando won from Hayes. The
race was remarkable exhibition of
endurance, the distance being covered in
twelve minutes less than the time of the
London contest.
Whereas in England the Italian. after
proving himself the faster runner, lacked
the endurance to complete the distance.
while Hayes finished in good shape, in
New York Dorando finished his run in
strong style at faster pace than before.

A Mckinley Revision.

1t is to be regretted that Mr.. Carnegie
could not accept the invitation of the
ways and means committee and discuss
with the members the general question of
tariff revision. His magazine article re-
fleets his views, but where one person
will read that. hundred would have
read a deliverance from him on the stand
under a spirited cross-examination. The
tariff hearings have proved, and still are
proving, decidedly interesting, and the
press reports give their substance in good
style.
In his letter to the committee Mr. Car
negie corrects Misrepresentation as to his
attitude toward protection a policy.
That, it appears, has not changed. What
he says to steel rails has no wider
application except as examination may
show similar conditions. In other words,
Mr.. Carnegie has not turned free trader,
as in some quarters was hurriedly sup
posed.
The Misrepresentation grew out of a
hasty and inaccurate summary of the
magazine article. In his letter to Chair
man Payne, Mr.. Carnegie says:
When you read it you will discover
that my faith in protection. wherever it
is proved to be necessary, is as strong as
ever, and that l continue also to believe
that the surest way to secure needed pro-
lection is to reduce protective duties from
time to time. and finally abolish them
when no longer needed
This. it will be seen, puts Mr.. Carnegie
on the Mckinley platform. In something
of the same terms, and in the Identical
spirit, Mr.. Mckinley, in what proved to be
his last speech expressed himself at Buff

where it could be done without injury to
American interests, and of removing I'M
necessary duties altogether. But at the
same time he advocated retaining duties
where they were still performing a valu-
able public service, and even of raising
such as the general welfare might de-
mand. And never was there a stancher
protectionist than William Mckinley
Mr.. Mckinley SO spoke seven years ago.
His death alone prevented early action on
his suggestions. Had he lived he would
have brought the matter before Congress,
and with his great prestige he would I'M
doubtedly have secured favorable action.
Nobody could have aroused any other
feeling but amusement by shouting free
trader at him. Both by words and deeds
he was able to read his title clear. If he
was not a protectionist, not one could
have been found between the two oceans
The wisdom of seven years ago is the
wisdom of today, increased sevenfoId.
William Mckinley is the father of the
tariff revision We are approaching; and if
it is performed in the spirit of his teach
ings, as it will be, though belatedly, under
! the inspiration of his advice, the country
will approve the work. Just now, to use
the famous phrase of Thomas b. Reed,
