Auditors In Convention st Cedar Rap
ids suggest Changes
In Law.
The conventions OF the state aud
itors and state supervisors that have
just come to a close after successful
sessions in Cedar Rapids, advocated
large number exchanges in Iowa
laws and policies.
Hit Primary Law.
Probably the most important change
that was advocated was the abolish
ment of the primary law as far as
1t affects the township. This recon-
mendation was made by the auditors
who are probably more closely con-
nected with the law than any other
officials.
1t is with them that the nominal
ion papers are filed and they have
better chance to see the real work
ing Of the law than anyone else.
The following Is the recommends
ton as passed by the convention.
Resolved. That it is the sense of
this association that the primary law

STILL WANTS FRANCHISE
Devisadero CrOsstOwn Line May

The Devisadero crosstown franchise
is to be revived by the board of super
visors, if a special committee ap-
pointed by the Mission promotion asso-
citation last night is successful in its en-
deavors The Mission district and the
members of the association feel that
the franchise is necessary and refuse to
let it die as easy death as 1T might IL
it were allowed to drop at this stage.
1t was reported at the meeting last
night that the right of way for the
Islais creek outlet sewer had been Sc
cured and that the work could now be
starte6. The special committee ap-
pointed to secure subscriptions to de-
fray the cost of parking Dolores street
reported that it had been unusually sue
cessful and would have sufficient funds.
A special committee was appointed,
with instructions to boost for the loca-
ton of the armory in the Mission dis
trict The report of the committee on
streets and sewers recommended the re-
pair of Lapidge street between Eight
eenth and Nineteenth and the sweeping
and sprinkling of the business streets
of the district more often.
1t was decided to ask for more police
protection in the vicinity of the Horace
Mann evening school on account of the
vandalism of many of the boys In the
neighborhood.

Him to Washington
(SpecioI Disbatch TO The Call


PROVIDENCE. r. l., March Miss
Nav Boiler, the young girl who ran
away with Philander c. Knox Jr., son
OF the secretary of state, last FRIDAY,
declared tonight that she and young
Knox had been married at o'clock
Sunday night at the home of friend
of Knox at Burlington, VT. She re-
fused TO say any more about the we'd
ding and said that she did not know
the name of the clergyman who united
them.
The statement from Miss Boiler, or
Mrs. KnoxA as she says she is, was made
only after a whole day of persistent
refusals She was located in her suite
at 147 Benefit street this afternoon.
and finally she said:
Well, as long as 1 must, l will say
that Mr. Knox and l were married at
Burlington, VT, at Z o'clock on Sunday
evening. 1t was at the home of a friend
Of Mr. Knox and a clergyman per-
formed the ceremony. 1 do not re-

about it now. We intended to tell all
about it in a short time, but wanted
to keep it secret for while. Mr.. Knox
has good reason for not wishing it
known
Young Knox Jr. and his wife left the
city tonight for Washington at 9:07
o'clock Up TO the time the train left
IT was supposed that young Knox was
out of town. When the federal ex-
press came into the station Principal
French of Morris heights school was
there with grip.
Professor French went into a parlor
car on the train and had hardly taken
a seat when three young people, man
and two women, entered hurriedly and
went into the compartment of the same
car. They locked the door
Professor French got the conductor
to open the door of the compartment.
The professor said it was an outrage
that the girl should go to Washington
and declared that he would have the
Westerly police take the girl off the
train.
Later young Knox identified himself
and the couple proceeded unmoIested to
Washington.

Supervisors Bancroft and Murdock
raised the point that the restraining
order could not possibly keep the board
from getting the Dillon & Hubbard
opinion. 1t was first voted to get
Longs opinion in writing, but when
his message came over the telephone
the board determined to proceed at
once to get the expert ruling from the

UNITED RAILROADS
PLANS AUDITORIUM
Calhoun Considering Construc-
tiOn of Convention Hall on
Fillmore Street Site

Patrick Calhoun and the United
Railroads are considering the construc-
tion of a large auditorium on the
United Railroads PROPERTY, bounded by
Fillmore, Webster and Turk streets,
which is now occupied by old carbarns
and the maintenance of way depart
ment of the street railroad corporation
The idea of putting the auditorium on
that property originated in the mind of
Calhoun some months ago, and officials
of the United Railroads discussed the
proposition with officers and members
of the Fillmore street Improvement
club. For some time the proposition
lay in allegiance, but it is understood
that it was revived shortly before Cal
houn's departure for the east, and the
plan will be put into execution after
his return to San Francisco.
David Livingston, former president of
the Fillmore street Improvement asso-
citation, stated last evening that he
had heard that the plan for the United
Railroads auditorium was under con-
sideration.
II heard of the plan" Livingston said,
"and knew that it was under consid-
Grafton. The Fillmore street improve
ment association would be glad to see
any Improvement erected on the street,
and the. plan of the United Railroads, if
1t is carried out. would naturally graf
ify US, but the association has MOTH
ing to do with the project.
The United Railroads owns the
northern half of the block bounded
by Fillmore, Webster and Turk
streets and Golden Gate avenue. A
brick power station is located on the
northwest corner of the property, but
the, other buildings on the land are
old The intention of the company
is to build the auditorium around the
power station, removing the other
buildings.
Stores would be located in the Fill
more street frontage. The gymnasium
of the United Railroads athletic club
would be located in the new building
and the large hall would be available
for public entertainments.
When the Geary street railroad bonds
were voted by the people, Calhoun de-
cided that he would not spend more
money in San Francisco, and the audi
torium plan nearly fell through. But
now it has been revived and is reason
ably certain of consummation.

This afternoon Taylor, Boyd, Under

Richard Poladtri took a launch at San
Rafael and by travelling around Point

ing was made surreptitiously at the
San Francisco yacht clubs house. The
poolroom was quickly raided.
1T is the most infamous case of
crooked poolroom work to my knowl-
edge" said District Attorney Boyd.
The gang had fake telephones with no
connections and they pretended that
they played bets in San Francisco by
wire. when nothing of the kind was
done. One money bag had $40 pieces on
top and iron washers underneath.
Packages of bills marked to contain
$1,000 were made up of 81 bills with
$40 bills on the outside;
Several big men are involved in this
scheme" said Sheriff Taylor, "and some
sensational revelations will be made.
We have another case against them in
which man lost $4,000"
Supervisor Pistolesi was very peevish
over District Attorney Boyds attack
on him. In retaliation, or to show his
good faith, the attorney for the pool
room operators declared tonight that
he is going to close the saloons at San
Quentin.

MAKES HEROIC EFFORTS
TO CHECK AUTOMOBILES
San Jose Farmer Gets Into
Trouble for His Tactics
[ Special Dispatch 10 The Call !

SAN JOSE. March John A Jones
rancher who owns an orchard on the
Ell Canine real south of this city, was
arrested today after throwing clubs
and yelling at automobilists passing his
place at a rate of speed which he claims
is injurious to his fruit trees.
1t seems that Jones has been in the
habit of hurting missiles at passing au-
tomobiles, shouting and upon one oe-
casion shooting at travellers in gas ma
chimes in the hope that he might check
their speed and in this manner put a
stop to what he terms "the scorching
evil on the automobile speedway
Jones stated in Justice ]. T. Wallace's
courtroom today that one of the auto
mobiles passed his orchard at the rate
of $50 miles an hour. He says that he
knows this statement is correct, as he
took out his watch and timed the ma
chine.

Goes to Penitentiary

Until May 16. 1906. she remained at
the county jail and then, at her own
request, was transferred to San Quen-
tin penitentiary, her claim being that
confinement in the county Jail was un-
dermining her health.
She entered the penitentiary physi-
cal wreck of her former self, but never
did she give up hope of ultimately Sc
curing her liberty. At the last, when
all hopes of pardon had gone and there
seemed to be no other prospect than
that of spending her days in the
shadows of the penitentiary her hith-
erto indomitable will snapped and she
took to her bed, hopeless invalid.
Apart from the dramatic settings her
case was one of the most remarkable
the country has known. Her convic-
tion was based largely on circumstan-
tial evidence, but of a kind so strong
and the links of which were so strongly
forged that no doubt existed as to her
guilt In the box of poisoned candy
she sent handkerchief, purcha sed
from a local store, and it was through
this little detail that the crime was
eventually fastened upon her.
