REFUSE LEASE TO
KINGS DAUGHTERS
Supervisors Committee Declines
to Favor Work of Home
for InCurables

! The use for the San Francisco Home
iornia woman's hospital in Sacramento
street was yesterday denied the King s
Daughters by the supervisors hospital
and health committee.
The West End Improvement club pre-
scented a protest signed by 1874 of its
members opposing the assignment of
the city's building to this purpose for
the reason that it would tend to depre-
ciate property values in the neighbour
hood. The supervisors committee,
which had favorably considered the
proposal to permit the Kings Daugh-
ters to carry on this benevolence. yield
| ed to the 100 protesants present and
made the contrary recommendation.
The session was an excited one. For
the Kings Daughters, Miss Laura Me-
Kinstrey stated the purpose of the
home for incurables and instanced some
of the difficulties occasioned by unrea-
soning opposition.
One woman whom 1 called upon to
interest in the plan said 4 don't know
anything about it and 1 don't want to
know anything about it. I only know
that | won't have hospital in my
neighborhoodr
WOMEN CLASH AT HEARING
Yes, / am the woman myself" spoke
up Mrs. Joseph Pilger. in some excite
ment. II asked Miss McKinstrey if she
would like to have a hospital next her
dwelling in Pacific avenue and this is
what she said: That would be very
different; we belong to d different
class.
Miss McKfnstrey. astounded by these
words attributed to herself, was silent
a moment and then said in a dignified
way:
Il trust I do not have to deny such
an absurd misstatement.'
A few moments later she crossed
over to where Mrs. Pilger stood
You must know that that was
wholly untrue" she said to Mrs. Pilger.
Il know it was true" asserted Mrs.
PiIger. Here is my husband. He was
there and will prove it.
Pilger, Il small and peace loving man,
! looked thoroughly uncomfortable. lie
mumbled something which seemed as if
meant to substantiate his wife's dec
laration.
FORMER MANAGERS DEFENDED
President Lake of the West End club
interposed at this juneture:
Never mind. Miss McKinstrey. You
can't help some things when people are
excited
Mrs John f. Merrill added her plea
that the home for incurables be per-
mitted to carry on its work at the hos
pital.
Attorney j. J. Lerman spoke in behalf
of the former management when the
buildings We're criticised as having been
left in an insanitary condition under
Doctor Vowinckels regime. This he
denied, and Health officer Broderick
also testified to the sanitary condition
of the structure.

DETROIT FACTORY

That the Plant Will Be
Greatly Extended
By r. R. L'HoMMEDIEU

A. p. Costigan OF the Pacific motor
car company yesterday received word
that the EMF factory Is 70 be en-
larged. The communication says:
ION the return of Walter C. Flan-
ders, president, and other officials of
the EMF company from New York,
where they rejected offers for the pur-
chase of the big Detroit plants for
union with another organization, Elan
ders announced extensive building
plans, which the company proposes to
carry out at once.
I'VE intend going ahead at once with
building operations which will in
crease the present floor space of the
plant on P1quette avenue about one
fifth said Flanders The extent of
the business makes this additional
space necessary at once.
In the spring we intend making
another big addition to plant No. 8, at
Clark avenue. We are only now COM
plotting big building operations there,
and further work will have to wait for
short time. However, the plan Is to
do more building there in the spring"

N.P.CUT-OFFSEEMS
CERTAIN
Shorter Route May Be Fin
ished Within Year
and a Half.

The Ellensburg-Ritzville cutoff of
the Northern Pacific Railway is
gradually assuming certainty. Ac-
tual purchase of rIght-of-way is I'M
der way and construction work may
start by Oct. /.
The last five miles of the approach
to Ellensburg is not made public,
says the Ellensburg Record. The
line leaves Ritzville and runs due
west 80 miles, where it connects
with the Adrian-Lind cutoff which
is now built, and which will be in
operation Sept. /. 1t passes to the
north of the Milwaukee ami is in
tended to cut off the rich wheat
lands south of the Great Northern.
The Columbia river will be cross
ed approximately eight miles above
the town of Beverly on the Milwau-
kee. Mr.. Rowland and a corps of
assistants have discovered a practi-
cable bridge site on Johnson bar
and are now engaged in making
soundings and locating bed rock
The huge scows used by the Mllwau-
kee in building it's bridge across the
Columbia river have been purchased
by the Northern Pacific, and permits
sion has been secured from the war
department for the building of a
railroad bridge across the river.
Work on the structure will probably
begin with low water in the fall, and
the engineers will endeavor to have
the concrete piers above high water
and ready for the steel gangs in the
spring.
Crossing the Columbia at Johnson
bar, the new line will enter the Kit
titas valley by way of Dry creek can
yon on a lower grade than that
which is now in use by the Milwau-
kee line. The canyon leads into the
Park valley and the new line will
make long detour to the north to
be in a position to seize all of the
business that originates in that ter
ritory. The present main line will
be depended upon to handle that
trade that arises in Badger Pocket,
as Thrall is closer to the center of
the pocket than Kittitas, and the
farmers have down hill haul to
Thrall, whereas they have to haul
up hill to get to the Milwaukee
town.
From the Park country the new
line turns south and approaches Ell
lensburg on a long and costly fill,
crossing the main line of the Mil
waukee road half way between this
city and Kittitas, the actual point
of crossing being at or near the Tai
bot fruit ranch. Then the line en-
tiers Ellensburg at the south, where
the new depot, which is now COM
pleted, will be used as waiting
room for main line and branch line
passengers.
According to the present estimates
of the engineers, the new line will
be complete and ready for traffic in
Is months from the time work is
begun.

NEW LINEUP FOR
TOMORROW
New Shortstop and First
Baseman Will Strength
en- Ball Team.

Several changes will be made in
the lineup for the ball game tomor-
row. Ames is busy ranching and a
new center fielder will be chosen at
the try-Out tonight. A new first
baseman has been secured from Sc
attic. His name is Stockey and his
work on the field during yesterdays
practice game won him a home in
the hearts of the fans. He has been
considered one of the best amateurs
of the Sound city and is a really
classy player.
Kyle, the regular initial sacker,
will go on the slab this week, for the
five game series will be too much for
Brown and Rush to handle alone.
Another player by the name of
Brown is now on the team, playing
shortstop. Percy Scheble found him
in Seattle, being there for the pur-
pose of taking tryout with the
Turks. But Percy closed with him
before Dugdale got busy and our
weak spot is now covered by a cap
able man.
The Pontiacs will arrive on the
Sage Brush Limited" from Water
vile this evening. The games stood
two and two and the rubber" was
to have been decided yesterday but
the game was postponed on account
of severe wind. So the contest was
pulled off this noon, so as to allow
the visitors to depart on the after
noon train.
The game at Recreation park will
begin at p. m. tomorrow, so that
the afternoons work of business will
not be seriously interfered with by
the game.

Hart Picks Johnson

T.ouisvijle.

Jeffries has loafed too much and is too fat. Of course, you can't see the fat on the outside, but there is still on the inside enough to keep him from regaining hls former speed" The fight will last between 10 and 20 rounds. in Hart's opinion.
