grant. A more serious interest centers
in the general belief that when the
company petitions for permit or fran
ehise it's petition will include much
more than the four blocks in Townsend
street covered by the old San Francisco
and San Jose franchise.
VIII the Southern Pacific company
ask for permit or frenchise which
will permit it to extend its tracks
from Third and Townsend streets to
the ferry?
Will 1t ask for a renewal of the right
to operate steam cars or Will il ask
for a franchise for both steam and
electricity?
VIII it couple with the four blocks
in question such other links and blocks
as will enable it to electrize the line to
Tanforan and thence to San Jose to
connect with it's Mayfleld line?
Buying Secretly
All these projects have been dis
cussed and that presumably without
knowledge of the fact that the fran
chise covering four blocks in Townsend
street was about to expire.
For months real estate brokers and
spectators generally have vainly en-
deavored to solve the mystery of the
Southern Pacif1c's plans. 1t has been
a matter of common knowledge that
the railroad company has on two oe-
casions prosecuted active purchasing
campai gns between the south and east
bay fronts in the territory lying be
tween Beale and Market streets.
The intense interest in the Southern
Pacific's undisclosed plans is indicated
by the activities of the real estate
brokers. At least a half dozen leading
real estate concerns have prepared
elaborate maps showing the several
holdings taken from the block and that
the assessment rolls show belong to
the Southern Pacific company.
Every one of these holdings was Sc
cured by the Southern Pacific through a
third party, the employment of astute
realty brokers, and in precisely the
manner aseribed TO more recent acqui-
sitions. The trend of opinion is indi-
Gated on these maps by the eXposi-
ton of all the spur track privileges
now held by the Southern Pacific and
all those granted by the harbor COM
missioners.
One of the schemes accredited to the
railroad is desire to install an cleo
trio road to move its passenger trains
from the water front in Mission street
to Third and Townsend streets, and
there connect with the steam line via
the cutoff.
Elevated Line Discussed
The proposition before the super
ViSOrS for the change of the Rea1e
street grade is considered by both
politicians and realtymen as another
move on the part OF the Southern Pa
cific looking toward an extension from

In the midst of new and alarming
developments and shortly before noon
a dismayed crowd that was watching
the water gauge at the Pont Royal
noticed that for 10 minutes the flood
remained stationary and that at noon
ii actually began to subside.
The work of building temporary
dikes back of the parapets, which be-
gan at daylight, has not ceased for a
moment. In many places the soldiers
labored in three feet of water, daHiming
the openings in the parapets and con-
structing great holding dikes of stone
and cement. Between the Place de la
Concorde and Avenue de Alexandra,
where the water had begun to flow over
the parapet, 1000 men were busy erect
ing a wall in the middle of the road
to keep the waters out of the Champs

TAFT TURNED THE Tables
"a
Kissed by the Suffragettex. he Made
Them Feel Ashamed of
Themselves

Washington, April 15.-The presi-
dent of the United States, the first eX-
ecutive Of the nation ever to greet a
convention of woman suffragists.
braved the danger yesterday of fac
ing an army of women who want the
ballot. had the courage to confess his
opinion and was Missed. So great was
the throng that sought admission to
the hall that hundreds were turned
away.
President Taft was welcoming to
Washington the delegates TO the con-
vention Of the National Woman Suf-
frage Association. He had frankly
told them that he was not altogether
in sympathy with the suffrage move
ment and was explaining why he
could not subscribe fully TO its prin-
ciples He said that he thought one
of the dangers in granting suffrage to
women was that women as a whole
were not interested in it and that the
power of the ballot as far as woman
is concerned should be controlled by
the less desirabl class
When these words fell from the
presid ents lips the walls of the con-
vention re-echoed a chorus of fem
mime Kisses. II was no feeble dem
onstration of protest. The combined
Kisses sounded as if a valve a
steam engine had broken.
President Taft stood unmOved on
the platform during the demonstra-
ton of hostility-for the Kissing con-
tinued but a moment-and then. smil-
ing, he answered the unfavorable
greeting with this retort:
Now, my dear ladies, you must
show yourselves capable of suffrage
by exercising that degree of restraint
which is necessary in the conduct Of
government affairs, by not Kissing"
The women who had Kissed were re-
buked. The presidents reply appar-
emily had taken hold. There were no
more Kisses while the president con-
tinued his address, which he charac-
terized my confession" on the wo-
man suffrage question. At the con-
clusion of his talk he was enthus-
iastically applauded and some of the
leaders of the convention expressed to
him their sincere regret over the I'M
pleasant incident. President Taft as
sured them he had not had his feel
ings injured in the least.
