COLORED RESIDENTS

The cause of the trouble is not very
well known as the principals are rath-

crowd were attracted to the scene,
which happened to be near the depot,
by some revolver shots, fired by night

officers and they proved effective.

San Francisco, June 2S.-Political
circles are in a turmoil here today
following the attack on James Phe-
Ian by the Call. 1t states the "peo-
pies ballot sent out by the Good
Government league campaign COM
mittee bore marks under the stamps
on the envelopes by which the straw
voters identity could be determined.
The interview is accredited by the
Chronicle to John D. Spreckels, Jr.,
relative to the candidacy of Phelan
for mayor.
The Call article scores the league
for a recourse to Russian spy meth
ods. When young Spreckels was
asked whether the Call had been
loyal - Phelan in the past he said,
according to the Chronicle, "as his
memory served him, he remembers
the Call had an article once charging
Phelan with a felony, and said that
+ he got his just deserts he would be
wearing stripes in San Quentin"
Spreckels continued. "Inasmuch as
Rudolph Spreckels private secretary
was present in the room where the
postage stamps were doctored, ac-
cording to the Calls own story, it
seems my uncle was not wholly un-
aware Of what was going on in Phe-
lan's political headquarters.

ENGINEERS NEED NOT
STOP TO PROTECT DOGS

Macon, Ga.-An engineer is not re-
quired to stop his train to save a dog
IL it appears to him that the dog is
in good health and a good sprinter.
That was Judge Shelton's decision in
directing a verdict for the defendant
in the case of DR.. George A. Cohen
against q railroad company in the
circuit court here.
DR.. Cohen sued for $500 because
his fox hound was run over and
killed by the defendants train in
1904. The evidence showed that the
dog had started down the track
ahead of the train, and that when it
saw the train coming behind 1t in
creased its speed. The court held
that was evidence of enough intelli-
gence to warrant the engineer in be-
lieving the dog would get off the
track
