HENEY GETS NEW TITLE
IN CALHOUN TRIAL

San Francisco, May 1.-THE fam
lily bard OF the house of Spreckles''
was the new title applied to Heney
this morning by Alexander King, the
defense attorney in the Calhoun
trial, during the examination of for
mer President Richard Cornelius of
the carmen's union, concerning a
meeting between the witness, and
Rudolph Spreckles, at which the i'm
pending car strike was discussed. 1t
was alleged that Heney inferred from
previous proceedings, the wish Of the
defense to show that Spreckles was
the instigator of the strike, and re-
stated his offer to place Spreckles on
the stand. Heney's defy was taken
UP by King, who ridiculed Heney's
defense of Spreckles. Heney declar-
ed that the defense was making a pre-
meditated attempt to convey to the
jury the impression that Spreckles,
District Attorney Langdon and Fre-
mont Older, managing editor of the
San Francisco Bulletin were men,
bers of a coalition formed to break
the influence of the United Railroads
to make it possible for Spreckles to
secure the upper hand in traction af-
fairs of the city.

St. Louis Dry Three Days

St. Louis Dry Three Days
Under the liquor laws operative in the state OF Mis-
souri, the saloons of the large cities controlled by
excise commissioners, for each city. The law en-
powers these excise commissioners to regulate the hours
during which liquor shall be solo, to revoke and issue
licenses and to formulate regulations for places where
liquor is sold SUCH for instance to debar music, the
display of works of art and the selling OF intoxlcants
to women.
The also requires that saloons shall be closed on
election days. days when political party primaries are
held and on Sunday.
Dry for Three Days
In pursuance of this statutory regulation, says the
Woman's National Daily, the st. Louis excise commits
recently ordered the saloons OF that city closed
from Thursday midnight until the regular hour for open
ing at 5 a. m. Monday. This because the Demo
cratic city primaries to be held Friday and the Re
publican primaries were be held Saturday. Sunday
was regular closing day anyway In consequence, not
only Of this law but its enforcement St. Louis was prac
tcally dry for n hours.
Never before in the history Of the city, so lar as any
remembers has prohibition been IN force Tor such
long period 1t may therefore be conceded that this
temporary prohibition furnished good test both OF the
possibility of preventing the sale Of liquor when the
authorities determined to enforce the law and OF the
benefits to be derived from closing the saloons
How It Worked
What then are the facts? From midnight Thursday
until midnight Friday II arrests made for drunken
ness and it is conceded that the police unusually
active because Thursday primary election day and
the force was under strict orders to bring everyone
who was found to be under the influence OF liquor From
Friday midnight to Saturday midnight there were II
more for drunkenness. From Saturday midnight
to a. M Monday, there two arrests for drunken
ness making total of "A arrests for this in the II
hours
This is undoubtedly the smallest number Of cases of
drunkenness reported in st. Louis during any 77hour
period The significance of the figures is shown when
comparison is made with the previous week From
Thursday to Friday midnight of the preceding week,
there were &C Of drunkenness and from Friday to

the dash board in an attempt to re-
gain hold on the rein the rig
struck a rough spot, jarring him
out of the wagon.

Christmas Bazaar.

The young ladies of the Catholic
Church will hold a Xmas Bazaar,
ior the purpose of buying new or

on Novem Der 10Th.
Among the various attractive
booths the following will be of
special interest:
The Xmas Booth. This is the time
of year when people lie awake at
night puzzling their brain as to
what they will give their friends
for Christmas. Ponder no longer,
but let the young ladies in this
booth decide for you. Bring your
pocket-book, for you will surely
want to buy some OF the ingenious
articles fashioned by their clever
fingers.
Mems Booth. The articles in this
booth are things which will appeal
to the taste of every man. 1t is
sometimes hard to decide what to
give men for Christmas, but such
questions are easy for the young
ladies who will have charge of this
booth. They have had wide exper.
ience in studying the preferences OF
men and you will be pleased with
whatever you buy here.
Japanese Booth. You will fancy
yourself in the land of the chrysan-
themum when you look into the be.
witching dark eyes of the Oriental
maidens who will preside at the tea
tables here.
Dutch Booth. Should you desire
something more substantial in the
way of refreshments, come and ash

ems to serve you with the appetiz'
ing pretzel and the wholesome gin
ger ale.
Flower Booth. If your tastes are
aesthetic, if you love beautiful
things, do not fail to see the flower
booth.
Aside from these things there
will be a sale of home made can
dies, a "6sh pond" which will un'
doubtedly afford much amusement
and finally for those who wish to
know what awaits them in the fu'
ture Senorita Castro, the Spanish
palmist, will for the trifling sum o1
twenty-five cents reveal what fate
has in store for you. Since in the

CANADIAN ROAD TO BEGIN WORK SOON
Bood Issue Of $5,OOO,O 900 Assures
Early Construction From
Viroinia to Duluth.

The early construction of the pro-
posed line of the Canadian North
ern from Virginia., Mimi, to ,Du-
luth, distance of about 81 miles,
is assured by the sale of bonds val
ued at $5O0OO0O by President Nc
kinnie of the Canadian Northern to
English interests. The money is
Immediately available.
The bond sale will enable the
Canadian Northern to construct
about 500 miles yearly for several
years. The next active construc.
ton on the proposed lines to this
company will include the exten.
sion from Edmonton to the Pacific
coast and the Virginia Duluth line.
According to the publicity de-
partment of the Canadian Northern,
that railroad will turn its attention
to extensions from its Atlantic di-
vision lines when the Edmonton
extension and the proposed con-
struction in the Lake Superior dis
trict are we'll under way.
The line between Virginia and
Duluth has been surveyed. The
only doubtful feature of the right
Of-Way is the entry into Duluth.
Many citizens in the western por.
ton of the city are averse to the en-
trance Of the railroad through the
residence district. Others favor
the proposed right Of way. The
dispute will be fought ont before
the council. Both sides have pre-
pared lengthy petitions for sub
mission to the alder1nanic body.
1t is expected that actual con.
struCtion of the Virginia Duluth
line will cost between three-quar-
ters of a million and a million dol
lars. The Canadian Northern now
has passenger traffic agreement
with the Duluth, Missabe & North
ern.-News Tribune.
