Two Accidents at Same Corner.

Mrs. John Griffin of South Windham met with two mishaps while doing some trading in this city Saturday af- ternoon. She ran over a little girl at the corner Of Church and Main streets. but it was reported that the little one was not seriously injured. A scant half hour later she drove around the same corner again and locked the rear win eel-of her democrat wagon with the wheels of one of the wagons of the City grocery store. but her rig was the weaker and consequently it upset, dumping her into the street and break ing the shafts of her wagon.

NORTH BEACH HAS
NEED OF ROOSEVELT
Elephants, Who Are Neither
Vegetarians nor Teetotalers,
/, Race Through District


Three excitable elephants made a
whirlwind tour of 80 San Francisco
blocks yesterday afternoon, and North
Beach had more thrills to the minute
than ever it had before. Since the
great animals were neither vegetarians
nor teetotalers the butchers and wine
men along the path of the pachydermic
cyclones carried loss entries on their
ledgers last night that suffered from
elephantitis
The three wanderers constituted the
Al G. Barnes troupe of trained ele-
plants, which were performing at the
California theater in Broadway near
Grant avenue.
The brutes were taken out for a
stroll yesterday afternoon to advertise
the show. The dodge worked. No
sooner had some children criticised the
apparent clumsiness of the brutes than
they unanimously became peeved and
started to pull off little speed stunt.
They dashed up Montgomery avenue,
with two trainers and mahouts and
Managers Herzog and Michaeis of the
theater clutching for their ears. At
Chestnut street they turned toward
Taylor and there, sighting the succu-
lent array of porterhouses and T-bones
in the butcher shop of d. w. Bianchi,
they dashed in. trampled the meat un-
der foot and then dashed out again.
Several women and children had mar
row escapes from. being crushed by the
elephants.
Sated with the sight of meat the
elephants whirled from the shop and
charged the iron bound door of the
winery of Ciocca & lombard at 547-
551 Chestnut street. The trained eIe-
phants had a lot of fun tossing barrels
and casks about.
From the winery the brutes started
toward the bay, but were cornered in
a vacant lot at Powell and Chestnut
streets.
The California theater's tame ami
mails make North Beach life exciting.
A leopard ENGAGED there recently
spoiled the scanty finery of soubrette
and lion severely injured stage
hand. And there is 30 T. Roosevelt in
town to protect the beach.

Iron Bunks Installed

The California transportation COM
pany, whose boats were most open to
criticism, has been active since Decem-
Der in putting its packets in better
shape. Cleanliness is now required on
every vessel. The recommendation of
the board of health inspectors that a
member of the crew be detailed to keep
the quarters of the men clean has been
followed.
Not only has that been done, but on
the steamer Onisbo the infested wooden
hunks of the forecastIe have been torn
away and replaced with iron hunks of
the kind used in the army transport
service. The Fort Bragg of the same
line is undergoing repairs and iron
hunks Will be installed on it before it
is put in commission again
The Isleton was being fitted out with
modern accommodation for the crew
at the time of the exposure of the con-
ditions in the feet. 1t is now in com
mission.

[Speciql Dispatch 10 The Call

CHICAGO. Feb. 17.-Western rail
roads want more of the packers money,
and let it be known today that they
intend TO advance freight rates on
meas and livestock -ext month. The
increase is in the nature of declara-
ton of independence by the carriers.
For years the great packing con
Germs, with their immense traffic and
private car lines, pressed freight rates
down to the minimum. Then, seven
years ago, came the last straw. The
Chicago Great Western railroad, with
A B. Stickney in command. entered
into long time contract with the pack
ers. agreeing to carry their products
at reduced rates in consideration of
their giving the line a specified ton
mage.
The Great Western has gone through
receivership. and emerged minus
Stickney, the contract has expired the
Hepburn law has put railroad traffic on
a fair and aboveboard basis. and now
the charges are to 60 up.
On dressed meats and packing house
products the rates from Missouri river
points will be put UP cents per 100
pounds. On stock the charge will be
advanced 35k cents from Kansas City
and St Joseph. The increases amount
to about one-ffth of a cent pound on
meats. All ofthe roads but two--the
Alton and the Wabasn-will join in the
advance. The other lines say these two

Startling Rumor
Circulated About
The West Virginia
Report That Hull of the Huge
Cruiser Is About Ready
To Fall to Pieces
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call


VALLEJO, Feb. I7.-Founded upon
apparently authentic information the
startling report reached this city last
night that Admiral Sebree of the Pa
cihc cruiser fleet had. Wednesday aft
ernoon. wired ESQ word message to
Secretary of the Navy Meyer, advising
him that it would be most dangerous
undertaking to attempt to send the big
ehuiser West Virginia along with the
rest of the feet into southern waters
for the regular spring target practice.
It is stated that the hull of the cruis-
er is about ready to fall to pieces. Ad-
miran Sebree is said to have recon-
mended that the vessel be sent here at
once.
At the local station all knowledge of
Sebree's alleged telegram is denied,
with the explanation that the local sta
ton VIII probably first learn of the
trouble when the West Virginia is de-
tached here.

Sleeping Quarters Cleaner

The steamboat Pride Of the River
which is one of the handsome passenger
vessels of the California transportation
company, is scheduled to have its fore
castle remodeled during the summer
months. There are now fewer men
sleeping in the forecastle than formerly.
The place was much cleaner yesterday
than it was in December. However,
there appears to be no additional Ven
tilation in the forecastle.
I'VE are making improvements on all
of the boats" said Port steward Baker
of the California transportation com
pany. I'VE will install iron hunks on
all of the vessels. Already we have
the iron hunks in several of our boats.
We also have made the quarters safer.
On some OF the boats, where the fore
castle formerly was reached only by
the hatchway, we have had second
entry cut, leading into the lower deck
of the boat. This door serves to give
the quarters better ventilation and also
to make the condition of the men safer.
we also have a man detailed on
each boat to keep the forecastIe clean.
We have refitted several of the boa
with modern toilet appliances and have
tried in every way to conform with the
recommendations of the state board of
health

Important Evidence Withheld

The object in placing the case be-
fore the grand jury instead of going
ahead in the justice court on the war
rant sworn out by Sheriff j. X. Smith
last Sunday is to prevent the defend
ant from learning the entire case of the
prosecution at the present time All
that is required is to make showing
before the grand jury which win con-
vince them that crime has been com
mitted and reasonable grounds to be-
lieve that Doctor Burke committed that
act. With the indictment the case will
go to trial without the defendant be-
ing aware of any more of the evidence
than that presented before the grand
jury.
Former Congressman Thomas ].
Geary, author of the Geary Chinese ex-
clusion act, and Attorney j. Rollo Lep-
pc, both prominent members of the So
noma county bar. have been retained
by Doctor Burke to conduct his de-
fense. Doctor Burke had been dicker-
ing with the former congressman for
several days and it was announced to-
night that they had reached satisfac-
tory terms
