BURNED STEAMSHIP
FIGURED IN RECENT
RATE WAR ON COAST

The steamship St. CrOiX was brought
10 San Francisco from Seattle in Sep
1ember Of this year by the Schubach-
Hamilton company, which operates
from Puget sound. The St. Croix was
put on the Los Angeles run September
Is, and Immediately a rate war de-
.velOped The fare by boat between
San Francisco and Los Angeles before
the arrival Of the st. Crolx was s1l35.
The Schubach- Hamilton people ac-
.cepted the rate. but the Pacific Coast
steamship company made A cut OF 50.
The owners Of the St Croix slashed it
TO s6.35 first class and s4.35 steera ge.
with a first class round trip rate of
.Sll-50.
In a few days the war had become
general The Alaska steamship com
pany, the steam schooner owners and
a small Independent concern slashed
rates until berths 10 Los Angeles were
Offered on the big boats for SO and 50
and on the schooners for $50 and s..
The conflict spread until it reached
from Los Angeles to Seattle The low
rates attracted big travel and the
vessels have had all they could carry.
During Portola week every boat was
booked fun several days ahead of its
sailing date.
Traffic has continued very heavy.
The St CrOix has been following a
schedule Of weekly sailings between
here and Los Angeles.

invent A BOTTLE
YOU CAN NOT refill
Alexander Mackie Jr. and Carl
w. Schmidt of Alameda Se- :.
cure Patent Rights
Stopple With Glass Disk Denies
Attempts to Replace Liquid
in COntainer

Has the solution of a problem that
has withstood the efforts of inventors
since time immemorial been achieved
by two young Alamedans? Has SUB
ject as tantalizing and elusive as that
of perpetual motion been grasped ana
conquered by two recent graduates OF
the Alameda high school? Has an
other impossible thing been done?
Yes" seems to be the answer to all
these questions. At least the indica-
tions are that Alexander Mackis Jr.
and Carl w. Schmidt. graduates OF the
class of 1905 of the Alameda high
school, have accomplished a feat abso-
lutely new in the annals OF science and
have perfected an invention that has
been sought after for years.
BOTTLES CAN NOT BE REFILLED
Mackie and Schmidt are the inven-
tors of and hold newly issued letters
of patent to a nOnrehIlabIe bottle. The
same kind of invention has been ex-
plotted before, but somehow all the
nonrefillable bottles manufactured
heretofore have been in one way or
another Reliable despite their name.
bottle, 1t is said, can never again.
either by force or persuasion. be made
the receptacle of liquid or solid mat
ter unless it's neck is smashed.
Bottles practically nOnrehllable
have been produced. but by inverting
them, forcing the shoppers or in prac
ticing some other way. they have been
made to belle their names. This. it Is
said, is impossible with the new bottle
GLASS USED IN STOPPLE
The secret OF the new Invention is
the advantage taken by the young in
ventors Of the well known property OF
a fiat piece of glass TO adhere when
moistened to a similar fat glass sur
face. When the opposed surfaces are
smooth and when air is excluded il Is
almost impossible to separate such
pieces Of glass. In the new bottle a
disk of glass is hidden within a two
piece stopple. which is cemented into
the neck of the bottle. The contents
can be poured from the bottle through
a twisted channel when il is inverted.
but an attempt TO refill the bottle
causes the glass disk to seal the chan
mel absolutely, while the twisted chan
mel prevents the disk from being
reached from the outside.

YOUNG MATRON IS
JAILED AS DRUNK
Mrs. Fred Bell Is Arrested and
Taken to City Prison for
Being Intoxicated

Shoeless, with hair disheveled, hat
awry and sealskin coat and dress drip
ping with rain, Mrs Bessie Bell, wife
Of Fred Bell, entered the Winchester
hotel about o'clock yesterday morn
ing and demanded to be shown to her
room, which she had engaged about l
o'clock in the afternoon under the name
of Mrs. Jackson. Joseph Ivers, the
night clerk, and the bellboy could do
nothing with. her and sent for Police
men Seguine and Mcdonald, who took
her to the city prison and charged her
with being intoxicated. When booked
she gave her correct name. She was
released with the other "drunks" at 8
o'clock in the morning and telephoned
to Attorney Manning of Ames & Man
ming, who hurried to police headquar-
ters and at her solicitation secured her
new pair Of shoes and stockings,
after which she went away.
Mrs. Bell could not explain why she
had registered at the Winchester hotel
as Mrs. Jackson, nor why she had left
her rooms at the Yerba Buena apart
ments, Sutter and Larkin streets, to go
there. She had hired a taXicab shortly
after registering, but where she had
been or with whom she professed not
to have the slightest notion.
Mrs. Bells husband is the son of Mrs.
Theresa Bell, whose litigation in the
courts over her husbands estate, cou-
pied with the alleged influence over her
of Nanny" Pleasant, a negro servant
and the haunted Bell house, made SEN
sational reading for years. Recently
her husband got $4,000 out of a partial
distribution of his fathers estate and
he gave it to his wife.
Young Mrs. Bells maiden name was
Bessie Johnston, her father being
rich farmer at Pleasanton. She grad
uated from the normal school and later
from the University of California and
taught school for short time. She
was a beautiful woman and moved in
the best society across the bay. While
engaged to be married to Judge Harris
of Alameda county about six years ago
she eloped with Fred Bell and was
married to him.

FUNDS NEEDED TO
REBUILD HOSPITAL
Directors of ST. Luke'S Ask the
Public to Aid Plans for
Modern Structure

Aroused to renewed energy by the
which destroyed the Mills wing of st.
Luke's hospital early Thursday morn
ing, the board of directors of st. Luke
hospital has issued an appeal to the
general public to assist it in carrying
out plans for the erection of a group
of substantial modern buildings to re-
place those now standing and others
which have been destroyed.
The efficiency of the hospital was
greatly impaired by the earthquake in
April, 1906, which wrecked the new
Gibbs building, the first wing erected
In accordance with plans for perma-
nent brick structures. The destruction
of the Mills building has wrecked the
best remaining part of the plant.
The hospitals record includes a great
deal of free assistance, as the terms
of its endowment precludes the accu-
mutation of any profits except such as
may be turned back into improvements.
In their letter to the public the di-
rectors pay a high tribute to the cool
ness, courage and discipline shown by
the entire hospital force in the face of
the ordeal of Thursdays fire. Special
mention is made of the heroism of Miss
Tully of the nursing staff, Night Or
derly Frank White and Doctor Craig.
The sketch and plans of the pro-
posed new buildings are to be seen
at the office of Archdeacon Emery at
1915 Sacramento street
The present officers of the hospital
are:
Charles D. Haven. president; A N
Drown, vice president; Archdeacon
Emery, secretary and treasurer: w H

SANTA CLARA, Nov 2O.-The Santa
Clara college observatory has received
three boxes of scientific instruments
from Goettingen, Germany. One con-
tains the vertical seismograph, an in
strument designed to write the verti-
cal vibrations of earthquakes as well
as the vertical component of lateral
vibrations.
Another is the horizontal seismo-
graph, which will record the horizon
tai vibrations as well as the horizontal
component of lateral vibrations.
The third, the contact clock, is de-
signed to run the clockwork of the
two seismographs by sidereal or So

Especial Dispatch 10 The Call
BERLIN, Nov. 2O.-In these days of
Anglo-German strain Germans well
come any assurances that the affection
OF Americans for the British is not as
tender as is popularity supposed.
Assurance of this sort was given by
present Roosevelt professor at the
University of Berlin, In lecture this
week before the Cologne Association
for the Cultivation of Political Science
President Wheeler told his audience
that Americans object seriously to
being catalogued body and soul among
Anglo Saxon" races. He declared
they form an entirely distinct people.
with a language all their own. and
taht they have a lively repugnance to
being taken for British.
we do not wish to be taken for Brit
ish,' asserted the lecturer, "as though
we were renegade Britishers. We
do not wish to be judged according to
English standards. No form of arti-
fetal improvement In our language is
more odious to American ears than an
imitation of the English of the higher
classes. Anybody who brings any
thing of that kind home from a visit
to England is Immediately regarded as
a snob
The language which is steadily fast
enlng itself on our people is not bor-
rowed from any English dialect"
President Wheeler diagnosed Ameri-
can boastfulness and self-esteem as
being due mainly TO a half conscious
wish to correct and retaliate against
disparagement, which, perhaps with
too great sensitiveness, we think we
note in the attitude of our British
relatives"
