FLEET To SAIL
APRIL ID

MAGDALENA BAY, March IL
Unless orders to the contrary are
received and nothing unusual oc-
ours, the fleet will leave this har-
Dor not later than April 10 and will
arrive at San Diego April II. While
nothing definite can be given out
at this time, 1t is believed that tar
get practice will be over by April 5.
The lukewarmness shown by the
East in the progress of the fleet is
so amazingly contrasted by the in
tense interest of the West that 1t
has instilled new life in every man
on board the great vessels, and ev-
cry scrap of information obtainable
concerning preparations for recep-
tions is read with avidity.
No favors are shown in the ques-
ticn of time between San Diego and
San Francisco. Each city will get
its share.

This theory was heightened at s

except that he was without a

his mans appearance, he had only
just shaved off a mustache, and
more than that had no doubt done a
hasty job and with a poor razor, for
his upper lip was lacerated in two

the present OF her sweetheart.
There are sweethearts and sweet
hearts, and no one knows 1t better
than jewelers.. Anyway, the lady's
finger was measured and the stone
set. Then she left. In about three
days no one appeared to claim the
ring and in the meantime the
check had gone to the bank and
been returned as worthless.
Then the man came and explain
ed that the lady had not come
back for the reason that she had
been sick, and he would take the
ring. Dornberg told him that the
bank had returned his check mark
ed no funds, The stranger could
not account for this and exhibited
a pass book with a credit of 1900.
He was not angry, only mystified,
and taking the returned check,
counted out $3.50 in cash and took
the ring,
Later he cashed the check, II is
said, on the strength of the jewell

Startling charges will follow dis

the grand jury today which is in
session here and which promises to
result in a municipal house clean

Chief Of Police Carroll, and H. A.
Gabriel, an attorney, have been
called before tho tribunal and will
have to submit to examination.
The investigation is the out
growth of charges made in a
weekly paper that protection at
specified weekly rates was sold in
the tenderloin. Gabriel is said to
have been retained by a woman be-
cause of his alleged close connec-
ton with police officials, which
made it easy for him to keep his
clients out Of court.
Recently w. F. Heron, editor of
the Town Crier, which makes the
charges, was charged with libel
by a saloon keeper who Heron
charged with running a gambling
house. When the cause came into

THE GOOD ST. PA TRICK
BY MICHAEL A. TANNING

~ HININbINa
An English man who had toured
the United States said to an
American friend:
II cannot understand 1t. On
the 22d of February l supposed
there would be a grand national
demonstration in honor of George
Washington. But nothing &C.
Cured. On the 18th Of March the
city l was in was decorated in
green flags and Irish emblems
fiuttered everywhere, the hotel
menu card was in green ink and
the evening paper came out in
green.
Bands played in the streets,
men paraded, the city police force
and military turned out, there
were balls, banquets and public
speaking. What I want to know
is whether st. Patrick or George
Washington is the nations patron
saint"
Some idea Of how powerful a
figure st. Patrick was may be
gained by comparing the memory
of st. Patrick. born 1885 years
ago, with that of George Washing
ton who has been dead a little
more than century.
st. Patrick went into Ireland
when it was plunged in the dark
ness of paganism. He confronted
hostile people with a dozen as
sistants. He carried the new civ
ilization with him. He met a
fighting race and subdued it single
handed.
His first work in reaching a COM
munity was to preach the gospel in
the native tongue of the people.
This he did with Pauline fervor and
a fire Of conviction which fired the
heart and imagination of the peo-
pie. You can look at the work of
any Irish priest today and see the
duplication Of st. Patrick's method.
First talk to the people, then the
building of a church, then the cree
ton of school, and then the ex.
hortation to practice the Chris
tan virtues, the succor Of the
widow and the orphans, the weak,
the fallen and the aged.
Patrick established universities,
which, by the labor of the inmates,
were self-sustaining, and to which
the youth of Europe flocked by
thousands. Europe, during his life
time, was in conflagration. Hordes
Of the north, Goths and vandals,

tinent, burned brightly in the cloi-

sters Of the monasteries and uni
versities Of Ireland. Patrick trans
lated nothing into Irish. He taught
the Irish Latin and implanted, full
born, the civilization of Christian
Rome.
He introduced the arts and
crafts, developed agriculture,
taught industry, application and
love of work. Institutions of learn
ing, churches ard homes Of re-
ligious workers, training schools
and seminaries, were supported,
not by contributions, but by labor
of the inmates.
From idleness to industry, from
fighting to the arts of peace, from
Druidical worship to Christian prac-
tice and ideals, st. Patrick turned
the whole island by personal effort
and example, by incessant, labori-
GUS and exhausting toll. He died
as he lived, without the possession
Of a groat.
The arts and letters, science and
biblical knowle lge which fed from
the continent took refuge in the IA
nous schools which made Durrow

QUESTION UP IN AIR

ed a roll call. When that was re-
fused by the council he dropped
the matter right there and left the
city hall
The N. P. attorney had previous
ly delivered an ultimatum that the
company would drop the grade
separation project entirely If the
council insisted on opening Ber-
nard St, as moved by Capt. Gray
and generally favored by the coun-
Gil. He insisted that the depot
would have to be moved to accom-
plish an opening there, and long
argument ensued, participated in
by Sam Stern against opening the
street and L. B. Williams in favor
Of 1t.
The question of whether it could
be done or not was finally left to
the city engineer, together with a
mass of other technical questions
covering all the important engineer
ing detail Of the proposed eleva-
ton.
The N. P. ordinance had been
taken up section by section and
the council proceeded with it
awhile after Cannon left, although
rather uncertain as to just where
they were at.
Assurance that all tracks would
be elevated was conveyed in Can
mons acceptance of a suggestion
by Corporation Counsel Hamblen
that such a provision be included
in the section giving the company
right to lay such tracks as it might
need. Cannon also acquiesced, while
present, in the reference of engi-
neering problems to City Engineer
Ralston. These include whether
middle lines of posts can be elm
mated from subways and how the
grade on Division can be reduced.
Funk brought up the question Of
additional dedication on Division,
and Brown offered a proposition
that the entire elevation be raised

again Monday night, but the whole
thing is up in the air until Cannon

TRAIN R0bbER
CASE TO JURY

The case of attempted train rob-
bling against Dan Murphy, which
was tried before Judge Huneke,
will go to the jury this afternoon.
1t is alleged that Murphy was one
of party of three desperadoes
who attempted to flag Northern
Pacific passenger train near Trent
a few months ago for the purpose
of robbery.
The engineer, however. had
premonition that something Of the
sort was doing, and instead Of stop

fuzee burning, threw open the
valve and Increased his speed past
the danger point A strong web OF
circumstantial evidence has beeu
woven around Murphy.

CANNON WALKS OUT OF COUN-
GIL CHAMBER AFTER HASTY
ACTION AND PROBABLY HAS
PUT OPPONENTS IN A HOLE.

The N. p. grade separation con-
troversy took an unexpected turn
last night and today city officials
and property owners interested are
trying to figure out just where they
stand.
E. J. Cannon, counsel for the N.
p, is saying nothing. He walked
out of the chamber last hight when
the council rushed through reso-
luton to widen the Cedar st. sub
way from 60 to Is feet, telling the
council they would have to get
along without him hereafter
Now the N. P. is in position to sit
still and let the council compel it
to separate the grade crossings.
That course would knock the eff
fort of Judge Turner to alter the
ordinance to a permissive instead
Of mandatory form squarely in the
head. And the company, In obeying
such a mandate, Is secured from
recovery for damages and also safe
guarded from liability of injunction
proceedings. In executing the city's
orders the company could not be
interfered with nor held for prop
erty damage resulting therefrom.
The mandatory form or ordinance
is what Cannon has been fighting
for the hardest. 1t is now before
the corporation counsel, who was
expected to render an opinion on
the validity of property liability
amendment last night. but failed
to have it ready in time.
Lambert made the motion to
widen Cedar st. subway to rs feet
on the ground that the street itself
is 100 feet wide and a 60-foot pas
sageway would be inadequate.
Councilman Phillips, who presided,
put the motion through before Can
non had a chance to say anything,
and it carried with two votes for
and none against in about 80 sec
onds. Cannon asked for chance
to argue the question and demand
