TACTICS USURP
PRESIDIO GUNS
School Days Are On at Post and
Army Men Are Now Study
ing Manual

School days are in vogue at the Pre-
sidio, and as a result a general quiet
has settled upon military life in the
post. The sharp crack of rifles and
the boom of cannons that marked the
passing of summer and autumn are
now mere memories of dashing days
and bright records. Sober perusal of
the tactic manual and thoughtful study
of things military are now the order
of the day.
The order incidentally came from
Washington. The regular classes for
the instruction of officers open daily at
IL o'clock and adjourn in the after
noon. The school term will continue
until March. Steady plodding is In

Wife KILLS SELF;
HUSBAND PRESENT
Mrs. Martha Trask Asphyxi-
ated With Head in Oven of
Gas Stove

Following several months OF alleged
domestic discord Mrs. Martha Trask
yesterday committed suicide. In the
presence of her husband she kneeled on
the floor Of the kitchen in her home at
574 Ninth avenue and placed her head
in the oven of the gas range. Her
husband, Joseph C. Trask, a salesman
the house and notified neighbors, but
went into neighboring saloon instead
of going back TO the house. Later on
neighbors entered the house and found
that Mrs Trask had turned the gas full
on and was dead.
Trask was taken into custody in the
saloon and brought to the OFarreH
street station, and then removed to the
central emergency hospital, where he
will be held for medical treatment and
examination as to his mental condition.
At first il was thought that Mrs. Trask
might have been choked and her head
forced into the oven by her husband. as
black marks were found on her throat,
but investigation proved that the
marks came from the pressure of her
neck on the knobs of the gas jet
handles.
1t was further learned that Trask
had left the house before the gas had
been turned on, as Mrs. Trask was dy-
ing when discovered.
Mrs. Trask recently attempted sui
eide in the same manner and was dis
covered and rescued by a neighbor who
happened to call.
1t is said Mrs. Trask recently filed
suit for divorce, and 1t has preyed on
her husbands mind, as he talked of 1t
continually to friends and neighbors.
The daughter of Mrs. Trask by for
mer marriage was recently married
and is now on her honeymoon in the
southern part of the state.

campaign for the harbor improvement
bonds The three measures for gen
eral betterments will be advocated and
supported with full arguments. Those
that vote as nearly unanimous as
possible be given in San Francisco for
the $9,000,0 900 general betterments, the
$1,000, 900 bond issue for India basin
Dor. Among the speakers will be
James Rolph Jr., Matt l. Sullivan,
George L. Center and Rev. d. o. Crow

Special effort will be made to have it
thoroughly understood that not one
cent of this money will come from the
general tax payers of the state. The
bonds will be met out of the revenues
OF the two harbors. That the local
harbor can easily meet the financial de-
mands is established by the last an
nual statement, which showed a ball
ance for the year in excess of $500, 900.
Those promoting the India basin act
have been somewhat surprised at the
scope of the campaign waged against
the bonds in Alameda county. 1t has
been learned that the special interests
opposing the measure have been max
ing a house to house canvass through
out Oakland, Berkeley and Alameda.
The Endorsements of the India basin
act have continued to come In from the
coast and interior press. 1t is now esti-
mated that so per cent of the papers
of the state favor the act In many

adopted resolutions indorsing the India

question and the directors were con-

for the state to acquire the tidal basin.
The Endorsement of the act was urged
by State Senator John T. Lewis of this

consisted in a measure of capitalists,
who lobbied during the last session of

creased the Unionist vote 45942 and the
Liberal vote only 4,5l3 This increase is
a source of the greatest satisfaction to
the Unionist press, as showing the rapid
growth in favor of tariff reform. The
editorials in the morning newspapers
take up an attitude of tempered enthu-
slasm on both sides, regarding Satur-
days results as "a good beginning -
which should serve to provoke the ad-
herents of the respective parties to re-
newed energy.
A representative example on the Tory
side is THE Daily Telegraph" which
says that the results on Saturday were

actually accomplished and in it's en-
couragement and stimulus to further

that the urgent business of the Unionists
is TO press the advantage and convert
the partial defeat of the enemy into a
complete rout.
The Chronicle typical of Liberal
opinion, says: The election of 1906 was
landslide. Nothing short of a corre-
spending landslide could have defeated
the Liberals, and Saturdays polling
shows that there is not going to be such
landslide nor anything approa ching it.
There is, indeed, a certain swing of the
pendulum since 1906, but it has moved
within such narrow limits that if the

Mr.. DICKINSON'S APOLOGY.
Regrets Bringing President Gomez
Back from a Fishing Trip.

Washington, Jan. 16.-Since the return of
Secretary Dickinson from his trip to Porto
Rico and Cuba a story has leaked out of a
humble and sincere apology that the Secre-
tary of War made to President Gomez of
the Republic of Cuba, while he was in Ha-
vana.
The arrival OF the Mayf1ower, with Mr.
Dickinson aboard in the harbor of Havana
was without previous official notice. Presi-
dent Gomez was absent from the city on a
fishing expedition. He was advised of the
presence Of the Secretary and returned to
the capital post haste.
When Secretary Dickinson was introduced
to the President he expressed his pleasure
in meeting Mr. Gomez and then began his
apology.
"Once I had planned to spend two weeks
in a vacation up in Michigan fishing" the
Secretary is reported to have said. Il had
bought a big outfit. and was out on the
water fishing, when a fellow came out in
boat with telegram that called me
home to attend to some business. 1 said
