ernment under the new law prohibiting
the importation of smoking opium re-

terday in the United States district

Doyle. and who was, he thought, in the
engine force of the steamer China, had

WELCHERS MAY BE FORCED
TO PAY POLICIES IN FULL
Loss of Pending Suit Will Be
Heavy Blow to Companies

The Norwich Union fire Insurance
company is fighting suit in the United
States circuit court that, is the COM
pany loses, may cause the Welch1ng
insurance companies TO pay in fun To
policy holders all losses OccasiOned BY
the fire of April. 1906.
The suit was brought by the Ralph
Brown company. which held $1,000
policy in the Norwich concern at the
time of the fire. The Brown company
settled on a 80 cent basis on the writ
ten condition that the company would
later pay the difference were it to settle
with others at a higher figure The
insurance people were subsequently
compelled in the federal courts. along
with the other welchers. to settle in
fun.
John s Partridge for the plaintifr
contended that his client had exactly
the same claim as the successful liti-
giants and settled on 80 cent basis
only upon the company contracting to
pay all policy holders upon exactly the
same basis.
A demurrer by the defense was sub
mitted TO Judge Van Fleet.

G[ARY ROAD BOND
ELECTION ORDERED
Favor Appropriation OF ST. .9OO.-
900 for the Construction of
Overhead Trolley System

The Geary road bond issue election
cal was issued by the board of super
visors yesterday. December 90, Thurs
day, the people are to vote on two
propositions:
First-The authorization of $1,000, 900
worth of bonds toeconstruct anew for
the city a double track overhead trolley
street railway via Geary street. Point
Lobos avenue and Tenth avenue to the
park and the ocean
Second-The authorization for $780,
OoO bonds to build a road down Market
street from Geary to the ferry.
After McAllister's inevitable and
vain motion for delay, the bill was passed
to print by the following alternatives:
Supervisors Bancroft, Booth. Broder-
lex, Connolly, D'Ancona, Hooks, Jen-
nlngs, Johnston. McLeran, Murdock,
murphy, Payot, Sanderson-13.
Noes-Balcom, Comte, McAllister,
Comte gave an individual reason for
his vote: I'VE have voted in favor of
a big bond issue to bring in Sierra
water. There is a limit to the bonding
capacity of this municipality. If we
intend to have water we had better be
careful about running street railroads. -
McAllister asked: Aren't there two
railway franchises in Market street?
This Market street railway bond issue
is ridiculous"
Murphy stated that was begging the
question. The Suffer street railroad
had cut the franchise in two and aban-
doned the major portion.
Pollok thought that IF this stands
then no franchise has any value In San
Francisco"
Mayor Taylor came in with a shot
from the state law. He said: you
can not grant any exclusive privilege in
California"
The board, by vote of 13 to 4, sus-
tanned the mayor. Murphy and the Mar
ket street project and then, by the
same vote, as give nabove, passed to
print the election call on the two fold
proposition.

e. T. Lamb and J. E. Gould, superin-

here yesterday in Seaboard car No. A..
and spent the day taking in the situa-

for the Norfolk & Southern to re-
place the burned shops. A force of
men worked all day yesterday on a
temporary building for a machine
room. A 3O0-horsepower engine has
been brought from the Congdon mill
of the Roper Lumber Company and a
| locomotive will be used to furnish
steam for the same.
In few days the machine room
will be ready to do temporary work
cleaning up the debris of the fire. Su-
perintendent Gould gave orders that
all shop men who cared to work
for $1.50 per day be put to work
cleaning up, and that the work be
pushed as rapidly as possible. There
are perhaps seventy-flve men at work
this morning clearing out the burned
timbers, taking out machines, etc. The

will return on Wednesday to attenl

FOOTBALL MUST GO.

The decision of the commandant OF
the United States Military Academy
against the further playing of football
by cadets is a blow at football as II
has been played of late, which is
likely to be followed by others and TO
result either in the reformation OF the
method fthe game or it's abolition in
many sections.
Doubtless many will regret that the
head of the Military Academy took
this step, but nevertheless, his action
must be approved. It is the only one
which he could we'll have taken un-
der the circumstances. To permit the
young men under his command to
needlessly assume such risk as that
which poor Byrne took, which cost
him his life, would lay upon him re-
sponsibility which he could not prop
erly assume.
Football as played by the college
athlete and the professional or semi
professional withing recent years is
too brutal and too dangerous pas
time. That has been apparent for
some time and it also has been appar-
ent that sooner or later must come
reform of the methods of the players
or the cessation Of such play.
Indeed, too much stress has been
laid upon football in many of ou1
colleges, which primarily are educa'
t1onal institutions existing for th@
purpose of disseminating knowledge OF
other than athletics. It is we'll thai

LOSS is HALF MILLION.
Through Alleged DefalcatiOns of ti,t
Treasurer of Big Four System.

Treasurer of Big Four System.
: New York, Nov. 8.-The loss to the
Big Four Railway through the alleged
defalcations of c. L. Warriner, its To-
cal treasurer at Cincinnati, ultimately
will amount to about $4,000 accord
ing to a statement issued in New York
by Albert H. Harris, vice-president OF
the New York Central lines, includ-
ing the Big Four.
''The amount of the defalcations, ''
says the statement, "has been ascer-
tanned to be $643,0OO. Warmer has
turned over to the company property
amounting to more than 100000 and
there will be received from the Amer
lean Surety Company, on its bond
$4,000, leaving a net amount of the
shortage something less than 100000
The method which Warriner adopted
was to cover his defalcations in the
item of cash in transit"
At the end of each month there arr
considerable sums of money on theil
way to the local treasurer from sta
tion agents, and others which hav,
not been received by him. 1t was b,
including in this item the none.
which he had in fact stolen that b.
was enabled to conceal his defalca
tions.
