was accompanied by his daughter Miss
Helen Taft, and by his sons, Robert
and Charles.
The ceremony was performed in a
room decorated with palms and hung
with mistletoe and holly.
The bride was attended only by Miss

BAY CITY VOTES
TOOWN RAILWAY
SAN FRANCISCO TO REBUILD
GEARY STREET LINE
Largest Number of Ballots Ever Re-
corded at a Special Election in
Northern City-Rosd VIII
Be Extended

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 3O.-By a
two-thirds majority, the voters of San
Francisco declared today for the
municipal ownership and operation OF
the Geary street railroad and its ex-
tension on the east to the Ferry build
ing and on the west to the ocean shore.
This proposal has been rejected three
times during the last five years. The
total vote polled was 43,0S1, the great
est vote ever turned out in the city for
a special election.
When the count of the 300 precincts
was finished the figures stood 81, ,1S0
for the bonds and 1886 against. The
supervisors are now authorized to
bond the city to the extent of $2,020,0OO
to be used in the reconstruction of the
present cable road on Geary street as
a modern electric system.
The fourth campaign for and against
the municipal street railroad was
marked by unusual efforts on the part
of the friends and enemies of the plan.
The press of the city was divided in
opinion and exchanged editorial
thrusts with all the bitterness of a
general election engagement. The
billboards and dead walls of the city
have been plastered for months with
posters.
The Geary street road is one of the
Oldest lines in the city and was con-
structed when San Francisco was
famous for it's cable operated street
railway service. The franchise eX-
pired prior to the fire of 1906 and the
road passed into the hands of the
municipality.
Since that time 1t has been operat-
ed under lease from the city, but as
its fate was doubtful it never has been
modernized or extensively improved.

BEATS MAN WHO
lNSULTED WIFE
REMARKS OF NEW YORKER ARE
RESENTED
Story of Victim Alleging Highway
Robbery Not Credited by Police.
Husbands Victim May Die
from Injuries

Henry S. Clark, said to be a prom
inent stock broker of New York city,
who recently came from San Francisco
to Los Angeles, is dying at the re-
ceiving hospital as the result of a
beating alleged to have been admin
istered by the husband of a woman
whom Clark is said to have insulted.
Clark denies the story and claimed
that he was the victim of highwaymen,
but investigation by detectives reveals
the fact that Clark was not assaulted
for the purpose of robbery.
A hurry call for the police ambulance
was sent in last night, stating that a
man was in a semi-conscious condition
at the corner of Ninth and South
Spring streets. The man, who was
found to be Clark, stated that he was
uninjured and desired to return to his
quarters, S2S South Olive street.
Wagon officer Sweeney noticing
blood trickling from the mans ears,
decided that it was a case for atten-
tion by the police surgeons. That his
conjecture was correct was proved
when DR.. Garrett stated that the man
was suffering from a basal fracture of
the skull and was fatally injured.
Clark was able to walk to the re-
ceiving hospital and told an incoher
enJ story OF having been drinking with
men in a saloon near Ninth and Spring
streets and that after leaving the place
he was followed and hit on the head
and robbed.
Investigation by the detectives dis
proved this story, for witnesses were
found who stated that Clark had in
suited a woman, whose husband was
in drug store at the corner of Ninth
and Spring streets.
Alp efforts to find the man who hit
Clark were futile last night and Clark
in his dazed condition still insisted
that he had not insulted a woman but
was robbed. When searched at police
headquarters he had but SO cents in
his possession.

the woods to play, she would hunt for
the singing tree" but never seemed
to hear it.
One morning, Dovie moved her play
things over to another tree, where
there was more moss to sit on, and
while thus engaged she heard a sweet
sound, as from the heart Of the tree.
what is that, Susan Ann?" she
asked of her doll, and then she lay
one ear against the trunk of the tree
and listened intently.
Could it be possible? But, yes, the
tree was singing. Very family, indeed,
but she could hear it. Then Dovie
knocked on the tree, and the singing
became louder and the words were:
1 want to get out, 1 want to get out
Into the beautiful world again.
OH open the door and I'll spread my WINGS
You'll not have done your kind deed in vain
Hunt around until you find it;
Hunt say, if you don't mind 1t.
Then, with a ripping laugh that was
full as sweet as the singing, Dovie
passed her fingers up and down the
tree trunk until she came to what
looked like a knot in a board.
