WASHINGTON. May There is a
strong probability that California will
be able to greet President Taft and
several members of his cabinet in Sep
tember. The president is extremely
anxious tosvisit the coast this fall, and
congress. is disposed to make an appro-
priation for his travelling expenses
A small urgent deficiency bill Will be
passed at this special session covering
sundry items. 1t is now planned that
this bill shall originate in the senate
which has its committees organized
Then it will go to the house and be
considered in committee of the whole,
where an item appropriating $4,000
for the presidents travelling expenses
will be offered. A canvass of the house
has been made Which indicates that
the item will not be seriously opposed.
If funds are provided the president
will attend the trans Mississippi con-
gress at Denver in August, going
thence to Utah to attend the old sol
diers reunion, thence to the irriga-
tion congress at Spokane and the
Alaska Yukon exposition. Tie will
then proceed to Alaska. returning
down the coast to san Francisco
Ne date has been fixed for his arrival
in California, but it would naturally
fall in September, as Taft has engage
nnents in the south late in that month.

Especial Dispatch TO The Call
SAUSALITO. May The notorious
poolrooms of Sausalito. which have
been operated for more than a decade
and a half. are finally shut tight to
stay by the action of owners of the
property The, big green structure
owned by Charles Forrest which for
IA years housed one of the poolrooms
run by Frank Daroux, will never again
be leased for poolroom purposes, de-
clared the owner today. The lease on
the big blue fronted den, also op-
Grated by Daroux, has expired, and the
owner saws it will not be renewed.
For 10 years this building has been
operated as a poolroom. The place
belongs to Manuel Ygnacio and Manuel
Flores. heirs of Manuel Bareiros.
Flores. speaking also for Ygnacio. said
today
..The lease held by Daroux has ex-
pired, and it will nPt be renewed
We will not have much trouble to get
new tenants but rather than allow a
poolroom to be reopened there we will
permit it to remain empty
The other structure, owned by
Charles Forrest. is at present partly
occupied by saloon run by Thomas
Frost. The owner of this building says
also that he will not permit Daroux to
reopen poolroom, nor even to have u
hired dummy place Il TEST bet.
With the elimination of the pool
rooms the root of the evil that has
tainted politics in sausalito has been
swept away.
A few men in town are loudly pro-
claiming that the removal of the pool
rooms is the loss of the businessmen s
bread and butter. But the businessmen
themselves seem to be elated and sat
isfed. The $4,000 license paid in yearly
by the poolrooms has ceased, and pos
sibly half dozen dwellings are un-
tenanted. That is the only visible effect
here.

You speak TO me of Araby

OF spring and of the cypress lane
That now he woos in vineclad Spain.
You talk of eastern houri's eyes,
Of April smiles meath sapphire skies,
And tell me of the Golden Fleece.
How sad Medea came to Greece.
You want the ancient silver sea
That bore men to the dread Circe,
Or crave the gleam TO temples white
In India distant scented night
You dream you gather asphodel

With all the world in fragrant bloom,

Not Used in Business

All this was proved in complete de.
tail before Dahler was called to the
witness stand. There remained but
single question to be answered Was
the money taken from the mint by
Ford the same which eventually
reached the hands of the supervisors,
and if not. what was done with this
100000? Dahler answered the ques-
ton. His testimony yesterday proved
concIusively that the money deposited
by Calhoun and drawn by Ford from
the mint never passed in the ordinary
way through the Offices of the United
Railroads, and was never used in thu
course of regular business.
What became of the money? Cir-
-cumstantfaI evidence OF the most posi-
tive kind shows that it passed from
Ford to Ruef and from Ruef to the
supervisors. That is the case of the
prosecution. for every other possibls
explanation has been eliminated. \
positive refutatien of the charge
against Patrick Calhoun would be
showing by the defense that this
money was used for legitimate pur-
poses. and such showing would be
the easiest and most natural thing in
the world for the defense to provs
were it actually the case. But na
such proof has been shown; no such
claim has even been advanced
Such then. is the case Of the peopl&
