BABY GIRL CRIED
AND SCRATCHED
All the Time-Torturing Eczema
Covered Her Body-CouId Not
SIeep-Doctor Said Sores Would
Last for Years-Skin Now Clear.
CURED IN THREE MONTHS
BY CUTICURA REMEDIES

"I take great pleasure in telling you
what great help 1t was for me to use
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment
for my baby niece. She was suffering
from that terrible torture, eczema. 1t
was all over her body but the worst was
on her face and hands. Her hands were
30 bad that she could not hold anything.
She cried and scratched all the time and
could not sleep night or day from the
scratching. / had her under the doc
tors care for year and half and he
seemed to do her no good. / took her
to the best doctor in the city and he said
that she would have the sores until she
was six years old. But if I had de-
pended on the doctor my baby would
have lost her mind and died from the
want Of aid.
'I used all the remedies that every
body told me about and tortured the
child almost to death. Then / saw in
the paper how Cuticura was the thing
for Irritating skin bathed her with
warm water and Cuticura Soap and used
the Cuticura Ointment. She was cured
in three months. Now her skin is as
clear and smooth as it could be. shall
recommend the use Of Cuticura wherever
i see the skin in bad condition. Alice

LUCE YET ON GRID
IN REBATE PROBE
Southern Pacific Agent Begins
Fifth Day of Inquisition
at T0day's Session

G. w. Luce. general freight agent of
the Southern Pacific company, faces his
fifth day as, a witness in the railroad
commissions investigation this morn
ing. Attorney General U. S. Webb and
Assistant Attorney General Raymond
Benjamin, assisted by Attorney .. X.
Cushing of the California traffic asso-
citation, Will proceed to examine Luce
further on the subject of rebates grant
ed to favorite shippers. 1t is anttci-
pated that Luce's testimony will be
completed this afternoon.
The immediate future policy of the
attorney generals office depends large
ly on the character of the testimony
given today by the railroad official.
Should his story be incomplete in vital
points other officials and clerks of the
Southern Pacific. company will be called
to the stand
Subpenas were issued Saturday by
Attorney General Webb for shippers in
the San Joaquin valley who claimed
that they were Disseminated against
by the railroad. The investigation is
also to take up the matter of the spe-
cial rate on shocks for fruit boxes en-
Joyed by the California pine box COM
pany. Luce claimed that the rate was
granted the shipper owing to the fact
thar this company was the only one ir
business In the state, while 1t is assert
ed by the attorneys for the people that
other shippers We're willing to enter
the box business but were restricted
by the excessive rates they had to pay
The special rate gave the California
pine box company a monopoly, it will
be contended.
If the railroad commissioners should
find the railroad company guilty of re-
batting the. question will arise on the
penalty which may be imposed. A fine
might be set in case of conviction, and
that would probably pass the entire
question of penalizing rebaters to the
supreme court for final decision. There
is a vagucness about the constitutional
provision In the matter of rate discrim-
ination, it is claimed, and the present
investigation may lead to final deter
mination of the law in the issue

Rescued From Seals Lair
Near Cliff House

Saved from destruction on the seal

engines broke down. the big power
schooner Newark was towed back to
port yesterday by four tiny crab fishing
bots which had rescued the vessel.

The ship had barely crossed the bar
and turned its nose out to sea when
its machinery broke down, and it be-
gan drifting toward the seal rocks.
Captain Saunders threw out both his
anchors. but neither could hold the
vessel against the tide and winds. The
vessel was being driven rapidly against
the rocks, when the four little crab
boats put to the rescue of the helpless
craft. Making their lines fast the tiny
boats got the schooner under way just
as it was about to strike on the rocks
Thousands of spectators on the
beach witnessed the rescue. and when
the little fotilla started forth with its
tow cheer went up from the specta-
tors. In this the big sea lions on
the rocks took an active interest and
Joined in the general chorus of noise.

ESCAPED FORGER
NABBED IN DIVE
Wild Orgy With Women Costs
Ralph Borgella His
Freedom
Confessed Criminal Scion OF
MuItimiIlionaire Chicago
Family

A desire to mingle with the women
of the Barbary coast and participate IN
their wild revels led to the capture oil
Ralph Borgella, the confessed forger,
who escaped from Deputy Sheriff Mich
ael Moore two weeks ago while he was
being taken to the county jail. carry
yesterday morning.
Since his escape the police have
learned that Borgellaf COMES from one
of the wealthiest families in Chicago.
His mother, Mrs. Otto Young, IS said 10
have a fortune estimated at SlGoo0,0oo,
and was formerly4 the wife of the ltal-
ian vice consul in Chicago and recog-
nized as one of the most beautiful
women in that city. Borgella, attended
Harvard for two years, butyan abnor-
NAL craving to lead the life of the
lowest classes and succession of mad
debauches brought an end to his uni
versity career and set him adrift in the
world as a criminal.
His mother. who is at present In
Tombstone, Ariz., has made many ef-
forts to reclaim him and has constantly
sent him money. The monthly remit
tances lasted but a short time. He spent
lavishly of his allowance, and when
that was expended turned to forging
checks, and in time developed into one
of the cleverest forgers in the country.
He has served two terms In the pen
itentiary for this offenSe, and on his
last release Immediately forged 1S
checks, signing the name of William
Harrington, saloonman.
When brought to trial two weeks ago
Borgella pleaded guilty. but while be-
ing taken to the county jail made a
daring escape For two weeks he re-
mained In hiding In the brothels of the
Barbary coast, but he appeared on the
streets last night and once again start
ed the mad pace which has brought
him to his present condition.
The man had large amount of
money. and this he scattered right and
left. He opened wine at every oppor-
tuhity and travelled from house to
house in an automobile. Such was his
lavishness and extravaganza that he
soon attracted attention and word was
sent to Michael Moore. the deputy sher-
if from whom he had escaped. Moore
hurried down and, accompanied by two
officers, found Borgella in a dance hall,
drinking wine with two women.
Catching sight of the officers, Bor-
CELIA made q desperate effort to escape,
but, finding the way cut off, attempted to
draw revolver. Before he could do
so the policemen were upon him and he
was disarmed.
Borgella will be taken before Judge
Dunno today, when sentence will be
passed on him.

TO GAIN MORE READERS
The question naturally arising in
most mature minds is, What does The
Call get out of this? Why should a
newspaper give away $4,000 worth of
prizes? The answer in a word is this:
To gain friends. The Call already has
a large circulati ton, and every reader of
the paper is its friend. but there are
some people who do not read The Call
This contest is designed not only to
make its present friends stronger sup
porters of the paper, but to bring to the
notice of every resident in it's territory
the fact that The Call prints all the
news all the time and prints it for all
the people. In this endeavor to stim-
ulate interest The Call has determined
to hold this contest and give these
prizes as rewards for those who assist
it in spreading the news throughout it's
territory. Will you help? Then start

panied to the justice court by Gen

little trouble in repairing the de-
fective parts of the heater. IT, was
also shown that the company-had
