of Calabasas, little town 40 miles
north of this city. in the heart of the

they have as fellow townsman at the
present time Bill Haney, on whose

is being sought for by officers of the
Canadian government, who charge him
with being bandit and a murderer
Years ago Haney and his brother
lived in Calabasas. In 1894 he was sent
to the penitentiary for three years for
robbery committed here. When he
gained his freedom he went to the
Canadian northwest with his brother
and soon after the Canadian Pacific
express was held up and robbed and
three officers were killed in the pur-
suit of the robbers, who escaped. The
two Haneys were charged with the
crime.
Ever since that time the Canadian
police have searched for the pair and

SAN FRANCISCAN'S PLAN
TO RECLAIM SALT MARSH
Options Taken on $4,000 Acres
Along Suisun Bay
ISoeciaI Dispatch 10 The Call

lOpSCiQt DtSpoCH ~ 4 nc &ott1
VALLEJO. Feb. 20.--A syndicate of
San Francisco real estate men has I'M
der way one of the biggest reclama-
ton schemes ever undertaken in this
part of the state.
Having secured options on practically
all the salt marsh land lying between
Suisun and Benicia, and overtiowed by
the waters of Suisun bay, the San Fran
ciscans intend at an early date to place
the same under cultivation for the rails
ing of all kinds of vegetables on a
large scale.
About $4,000 acres have been bonded
at prices ranging from $40 to $35 an
acre, and an analysis of the soil shows
that it is exceedingly fertile.
The reclamation of this now useless
land will necessitate the building of
MANY miles of levees and the leveling
UP and filing in of many small sloughs.
The only thing standing in the way
of the project is the fact that number
of San Francisco gun clubs ask an
enormous price for the few hundred
acres on which their preserves are To-
Gated. but it is believed that a salts
factory agreement will be reached be-
tween the owners and the promoters.

MCCARTHY REVIEWS
ATTACK ON BOARD
Mayor Tempers His Remarks to
GeneraIities While Scoring
Taylor AppOintees

Smaller shot was fired at the Taylor
school board by Mayor Mccarthy at the
laying of the cornerstone of the Sheri-
dan school, Capitol and Farallones
streets, yesterday afternoon. His re-
marks were not so bitter as they had
been on similar occasions in the past
referring to the last administration in
a more general way He insisted that
it was his purpose to elevate and ad-
vance the school department until it is
second to none in the land. Said the
mayor:
Such an ideal state of affairs does
not exist today. If any of you
fathers and mothers viii take the
trouble 10 look into the true facts
of the situation you can not fail to
Join me in this conclusion.
"A Personal CHATTEL"
Sectarianism must vanish: the
unwarranted upbraiding of teachers
by officials must stop; old feuds
must be forgotten; special schools
devoted TO technical education must
be helped and not harassed, and
efficiency instead of decay must be
shown by those to whose hands
may be intrusted the affairs of our
great school system. Where the law
provides that school directors shall
visit your classrooms to better your
condition, such law must not be ig-
nored.
No person on earth, no matter
how much of veteran in the af-
fairs of a city that has treated them
kindly and afforded them for
tune must ever come to regard the
school department as personal
chattel. and the unanimous senu-
ment of a teaching force that con-
siders itself doWntrodden, op-
pressed. prosecuted maltreated and
mismanaged must be given con-
sideration. l would rather that my
good right hand would palsy than
fail to lift il against subtle
scheme to do redhOt politics in the
schools under the cowardly guise
of driving politics, with band of
music, out of the schools. No good
citizen viii tolerate politics in the
schools and every good citizen must
study the situation for himself or
herself and determine what is best
for the pupil.
