the merchants of that section into close
touch with the jobbers of San Fran

sonally. There will be no drumming
for business, no set programs and no
speech making. The purpose of the
excursion is solely to build up friendly
sentiment which will bring new trade
to this city.

PANAMA DREDGER
MAY BEBUILTH HERE
War Department Has Under
Consideration Bid of the
Union Iron Works

The war department. at Washington
has under consideration the question
of letting the contract for ois
dredger 10 be put TO work on tne
Panama canal The bid OF the Union
iron works of this city. although higher
than those of the competing Scottish
and German companies. is being con-
sidered in conjunction with the teie-
grams sent from this city urging IT'S
acceptance.
Acting Secretary of War Robert
Oliver Shaw, in a letter TO Governor
Ginett recently. said that the matter
had been taken up. President Taft has
directly interested himself in the con-
tract and has so assured the governor
and the Home Industry league or thtS,
city
The bid of the Union iron works lS
s9OO.0OO. That of the Scottish nrm IS
sS99. 900. 1t is urged in support or the
American bid that the contract cans
for a preference for American materiaI
and that the higher wage given en-
ployes in San Francisco demands a
higher price IT is estimated that be-
cause of the differences in wages the
local firm and the Scotch company
would reap the same profit.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC
ROBBED BY TRICK
Railroad Loses Thousands by
Bold Conspiracy of Dining
Car Employees
Former Conductor Trapped and
Confesses Using Counter
felt Vouchers
[Speeial Dispatch 10 TIE Call

OAKLAND. Aug. Frank Rowland,
a former dining car conductor for the
Southern Pacific company, was ar
rested at his home, III Ninth street,
this afternoon by Detective Emigh and
Railroad Policeman Wynen as the chief
conspirator in scheme by which the
Southern Pacific company has been de-
frauded out of thousands of dollars
each month in its dining car SERVICE
Rowland is said by the detectives to
have admitted that he had conceived
the plot and had drawn other railroad
conductors of the dining car service
into his alliance. but he would i'm
plicate none of his confederates.
While working for the company
Rowland obtained some of the dining
car vouchers which are printed in
books and are numbered consecutively.
The conductors are required to account
for each check IN every book. Row
land invented a method of evading the
railroad companys safeguards.
DUPLICATE VOUCHERS USED
He had vouchers, duplicates of those
used by the company, printed by Cud-
ney & Warner of 572 Ninth street and
Autographed by the Lemos company
in San Pablo avenue. These he dis
tributed among conductors on the din
ing car service, and the conductors
and walters would complete the chain.
Instead of using only the regular
vouchers returnable to the company,
the car crews would serve parts of the
meals by using the bogus vouchers and
would hold out the money. BY this
means every voucher issued by the
company to the conductors was ac-
counted for, and several thousands of
dollars each month was taken from
the railroad Golfers
Eventually the railroad employees and
officials became suspicious. A few
days ago detectives were put on the
cases and Rowland was trapped His
method of operation was discovered
and the detectives found the shops
where his printing. and lithographing
were done. The plates used in making g
the fake checks were seized today and
are being held as evidence.
MANY OTHERS IN PLOT
Rowland did not deny that he had
found his Illicit game more remunerat-
i've than his work for the company as
a dining car conductor. BY passing out
the prepared substitute checks he put a
large number of conductors and walters
in his gang and each would divide with
him the profits.
Rowland is SO years old and has a
wife and family. He would not tell
the detectives more than thew had
learned in their Investigations, but he
admitted the truth of their accusa-
tions.
His scheme was so clever that it Is
doubtful If the police can place a.
charge more serious than misdemeanor
against him.

VOTERS BREAK
ALL RECORDS
Great Gains in Registration
Shown in Several AS
sembly Districts

The total registration in San
Francisco for the primary election
to be held August 16 is 67,511. ac-i
cording to the final official figures
given out yesterday by Registrar
e. c.. Harrington. While this is
: about 300 less than the estimated
total cast on the day following the
close of registration, 1t still breaks
all records for new primary regis
tration by more than 10000
The slump of few hundred from
the original estimated total is due
to corrections and cancellations
made during the final examination
of the registration slips in the reg
istrar's office. The greatest num-
ber of cancellations was made from
the death list for the past three
months, which was submitted to the
registrar only a few days ago.
In many districts the registration
compares favorably with that of
year ago. despite the fact that the
registration for the 1909 primaries
was open for IS months, while the
present registration is all new
within the last months, the new
register having been opened on
January l of the present year. The
greatest gains in registration have
been in the forty-second, forty
third and forty-fourth assembly
districts. That in the forty second
is nearly equal to the primary reg
istration for the same district in
1909, while the registration in the
forty-third and fortyfourth ex-
ceeds that of 1909.
The present registration by as
sembly districts. according to the
compilation just made by Registrar
Harrington, is as follows:
