A NOBLE WORK
San Antonio Home for Friendless
and Unprotected Girls Assured.

AT a meeting held Tuesday after
noon at the Y. M. c. A. Building of
San Antonio women interested in the
movement started several days ago
to establish a home for friendless
girls, it was finally decided that a
cottage be procured and named
"Bide a Wee" which is to be made
home for all girls who are out of
work and stranded. The feature of
the work is that it is to be non
sectarian and under the manage
ment of no organization, but is
simply to be in charge of matron
selected and responsible to a board
of directors consisting of San An
tonic women interested in the
work. No questions are to be
asked the applicant, who is to be
admitted upon her own statement
and given given food and lodging
until work can be found for her.

No cottage has as yet been pro-
cured and Mrs. e. Hertzberg, who

unknown assailant for half an hour
in his room at 321 Minna street last
evening shortly after 10 o'clock. The
two men waged the most desperate
warfare. The thug repeatedly struck
Tracy over the head with the butt of
his revolver. Tracy had been followed
into his apartment from the street by
the murderous robber.
The noise of the combat aroused all
the guests at the house Many women
rushed from their rooms, adding their
cries to the turmoil caused by the battle
between Tracy and the intruder. One
woman was attacked with hysteria and
had to be led away from the hotel by

discovered blood beneath the window
and followed it. Policemen Arey,
Hayes, Sherett and Driscon took up
the CORY trail and, with their lanterns,
traced it to a lot in Howard street,
where it was lost. A general alarm
was sounded and a larger posse, under
command of Corporal Harry Braig, was
dispatched to the scene from the CEN
trail station. They spent the night
searching the district for the wounded
man.
Tracy said that he first noticed his
assailant as he was walking along
Minna street TO his hotel. The man
was following him and reached the
door just as Tracy did himself. The
young man thought nothing of that,
believing the fellow to be a roomer in
the house. The man dogged Tracy's
footsteps to the door of his room and
as Tracy stepped inside sprung after
him before the light could be turned on.
He held revolver at Tracy's head.

Instead OF obeying Tracy grappled
with the fellow. They fought all over
the room, smashing the furniture in
the fury of their struggle. Tracy bled
profusely from the wounds inflicted in
his head by the butt of the thugs re-

for the nomination for the assembly.
Jeffress, was with Tom .O'Keefe. another

GOlJLD'S OWN LINE
TOCROSS OAKLAND
Western Pacific Refuses fiarri=
mans Terms for Joint Uses
of Right of Way
YOURS Truly
/? cALHoUMl

OAKLAND Aug. Announcement
was made today that the compact be-
tween the Western Pacific railway and
the Southern Pacific company for the
joint use of the Southern Pacificss right
of way through First street has been
abrogated; that the original plans OF
the Western Pacific for freight feeder
line south of First street to its West
Oakland terminal had been abandoned
and that the main line of tire Gould
line will be run through Third street
This follows the publications a week OF
so ago of a revised route of the West
ern Pacific through East Oakland, which
includes also the abandonment of pro-
jected overhead crossing of the South
ern Pacific tracks at Clinton station.
s. II. WANTS LOCAL BUSINESS
The reason assigned for the failure
of the two companies to maintain an
agreement as to trackage in Oakland
is that the Southern Pacific officials de-
n1anded a stipulation in the contract
that the Gould line should not go after
local business"
This was construed to mean that the
new road should keep its hands off the
rich suburban ferry business and, per-
haps, not interfere with the Southern
Pacific's monopoly of local freight
handling. At any rate, on the eve OF
the signing of the agreement, the West
ern Pacific refused to accept the terms
PLANS FOR COMPETITION
This situation has been kept a close
secret while the Western Pacific was
readjusting its plans so as to meet the
conditions which arose after an agree
ment between the Southern Pacific and
It's own officers became impossible
Now the Gould people appear to be in
a position to handle the western enc
of their road without the interests OF
Hartman in any of the Gould lines in
the east interfering with a reasonable
competition.
The Western Pacific, from the outset
has declared that it will maintain ar
independent ferry system between Oak
that the Gould line VIII become an i'm
pdrtant factor In the development OF
suburban travel.
NEW FRANCHISE NEEDED
The failure of the trackage agree.
ment will make necessary an applica.
tion to the city council by the West
ern Pacific for a franchise over the
newly mapped route through a part OF
East Oakland, to provide for a grade
instead OF. an overhead crossing at Sixtl
avenue. At that point the Western Pa
cific VIII cross the Southern Pacific
from the north to reach the trestle
work over the north arm of the es-
tuary into central Oakland.
GOULD LINE HAD ADVANTAGE
For many months this railroad sftua.
tion was one of great interest. Be.
fore the Western Pacific and Southern
Pacific officials got together in nego.
tiations the Western Pacific opened the
game by preparing plans for the con.
struction of a line through Oakland
south of First street. paralleling the
main line of the Southern Pacific
through the lumber, mill and manufac.
turing district along the harbor front
The strategical advantages of this pro.
posed line were Immediately discovered
by the Southern Pacific company. The
route gave the Gould road the adyant.
