the parade for the admirable manner In
which the immense crowds were
handled
"The fact that my orders were ebeyed
to the letter by captains and the men
under their command. said CHIEF COOK
yesterday afternoon. is responsible
for the orderly manner in which every
thing passed-of. I take no credit to
myself; IL there be any it Is due 10

their superior officers.
"A most unusual thing has happened
which speaks well for the department
and that Is no complaint has been re-
ceived against the police from spec
tators or others, and that never oc-
CURED before to my knowledge COM
missioner Cutler and myself rode in an
automobile lalong the route or the pa
ratle and we were wen satisfed with
everything we saw.
( "The cross streets were kept open
SO that in the event OF a fire no delay
would be caused to the fire department
in reaching the scene. 1t appears
to me, however, that the fire chief
should detail men to aid us in keeping
these streets clear, as with such an
Immense crowd to handle it is too much
to expect the police to do everything.
ENORMOUS RAILROAD TRAFFIC
The railroads have put all available
coaches on the run to San Francisco.
MY figures of last Monday still
stand, and according to present indica-
tiens / think we will carry all OF the
200, o0e people that said we would" "
said II. r. Judah, assistant passenger
agent of the Southern Pacific, yester-
day. AT present we have no definite
figures, only the estimates of our yari-
GUS ticket agents. but from those esti-
mates / figure that we will easily
handle 100000 persons.
James 3. Duffy. city ticket agent of
the Santa Fe, had practically the same
to say OF his road. He predicted
several days ago that he would carry
close to 10000 from the San Joaquin
valley alone.
Yesterday morning the Southern Pa
'cific brought in 1900 from San Jose
and since last Monday has brought
5000 people from the Garden City.
Sacramento has also contributed largely
to the immense throng that is in the
city for the festival. The transbay
business is immense, people coming
from every suburban point
The crowd that is being handled by
the railroads is not SO large as was
handled a year ago last May when the
Atlantic fleet was in the harbor. main
ly, according to Judah, for the reason
that the Portola festival is more of a
local celebration and has not attracted
the large crowds from the middle
western states. BY Saturday Judah
expects that his company will have
handled many more than 100000
The Northwestern Pacific has also
brought in several thousands from So
noma. Mendocino, Lake and Marin
counties.

Meets Death While
Watching Parade

Entangled in a bed of live wires
while watching the Portola parade
from the top of a telegraph pole, Ger
aid Mann, lineman, was electrocuted
and hurled down into the panic stricken
throng yesterday morning at Turk and
Franklin streets. The crowd quickly
cleared away from the pole, and no one
was struck by the falling youth. A
loud explosion that resulted from the
short circuiting OF the wires frightened
thousands of women and children
banked along the sidewalks in Van
Ness avenue, and several women faint
ed in the crowding and excitement
that followed.
Mann was 20 years of age. He lived
at 1854 Scott street. His body was
removed to the morgue.
Charlton p. Roster. an electrician and
Portola visitor form Placerville tainted

Hickory avenues yesterday while
watching the parade dislocated the
right knee of Libia Rickert whose
home is at Fell and Cough streets. She
was treated at the central emergency
hospital.
Seven year old Kenneth Crotty, who
lives at 75S Van Ness avenue. was
struck by an automobile at McAllister
street and Van Ness avenue, yesterday,
when he ran out from behind the po-
lice parade lines. He was treated at
the central emergency hospital for
abrasions, decorations and contusions
of the head and body.

is the ideal one In Durango, being in
the center OF the business district, and
