DR.. jFLLINEk IS
DROPPED FROM

Specialist Is Turned Down By
Board of the German
Hospital
Says Appointment of DIR. Baum
in His Stead Is Petty
Affair

Great surprise has been occasioned by
the announcement at the German hos
pital that DR.. E. o. Jellinek, the emf
nent specialist. has been dropped from
the medical staff and that Dr. Ru-
dolph Baum has been elected in his
place No reason has been advanced
for the elimination of Dr. Jellinek nor
has any explanation been vouchsafed
the physician There is some indefinite
talk of politics. but the friends of Dr.
Baum declare that it was merely a
simple matter of hospital procedure.
One report has it that DR.. Baum. who
was connected with the hospital some
FIVE years ago, has aiways felt that DR..
Jellinek came between him and his po-
sition and has now seized the oppor-
tunity to turn the tables. Both ply
sicians, however. declare that there has
been no friction between them.
The action of the hospital authorities
was the more surprising by reason OF
the fact that they had specially invited
DR.. Jellinek TO apply for reappoint-
ment This was considered to all in
tents and purposes an enga cement for
<nother year. Dr. seIlinek was taken
aback few days later when informed
that DR.. Baum had been elected in his
place.

Few Changes Are Made

1t has been the custom OF the direc-
tors TO elect staff of physicians every
year at this time. 1t has been largely
a matter of routine. as few changes
are made. This year was an exception.
DR.. Jellinek consented TO discuss the
matter after he learned that the facts
had become public.
Il do not know the reason for the
failure of the board to elect me TO

the reason. nor DO I care-to znor,. The

For months the Southern Pacific has

care of the increase of traffic which
will result with the completion of the

the necessity of putting in strong con-

however. was confined TO the beach
front where bath houses and pleasure
piers were swept away. but shipping
was undisturbed
READY FOR STORM
A hurricane for East Texas was
foreeasted early in the day. When the
storm broke Galveston was prepared.
The inhabitants of the few scattered
houses sought safety and the vessels
were riding at anchor in the bay.
The fury of the storm was soon
abated. and the anxiety of those who
entertained fears OF another tidal wave
was thus early relieved.
So short was its duration that the
Mallory line steamer. booked to start

TELEGRAPH CABLES PARTED
A heavy dredge had been blown
against the single bridge. which con

parted. AS result all manner Of
rumors were soon rife that Galveston
had again suffered such a storm as that

Few buildings were blown down. but
it is believed that many warehouses
were flooded and that goods on the
bottom floors of these buildings were
ruined. Consequently it will require
several days to ascertain the amount
of the damage. The storm covered a.
wide area along the gulf coast.

Acting with maximum degree Of
secrecy, the Southern Pacific has just
completed a number of successful ex-
periments with gasoline motor cars
from its Third and Townsend street
depot to San Bruno. These trips have
been made over the old Valencia street
route and are said to be merely pre-
liminary TO a regular interurban serv-
ice.

many points along the San Joaquin.

company. it is said, has in contempla-
tion system of interurban routing
which viii give swift transportation
down the peninsula.
The rapid development of the spbur-
ban cities has so increased the pas
senger traffic between San Francisco
and San Jose that the company has
found itself face TO face with serious
and growing problem. Additional
rights of way are being rapidly ac-
quired for the four track system that

OF the general plan. it is understood.
is 10 make provision by which the
motor car service may in time be ex-
tended 10 the Garden City.
Trial Trips Made
No date has been set for the opening
of an interurban gasoline motor sys-
TEN down the peninsula. nor are the
Southern Pacific officials prepared to
admit that ii is contemplated. 1t is
known. however. that the trial trips
have been made for the express purpose
of determining the possibilities of an in
terurban system. That the expert
ments have been successful is also
known.
The bay shore cutoff is now used for
the bulk of the traffic and the Valencia
street route would be available for the
motor car service. 1t passes through
a populous district, which lacks ade-
quate transportation facilities.
The recent acquisition by the South
