BARBER IS
WINNER Of
The AUTO

Gus Jordan, better known as Rufus
the barber, barber on the fourth floor
of the Hammond building. is the win
ner of the automobile which the Elks
raffed away during the bazaar. which
was held here several weeks ago
What do I want with an automo-
bile,'' said Gus, when he learned that
he had won the 81 200 Buick. 1t would
cost me all 1 could make in a week to
buy a new tire if 1 should lose one,
and I can't run the critter with either
bay rum sea foam"
But Gus is glad that he won it. He
expects to have no difficulty in finding
a buyer for the machine, and he will
find a good use for the money he de-
rives from the sale of the car.
Gus was in Henry Schneider's buffet
when Ben Bell came in with the in
formation that he had won the car. At
first he thought the boys were kid
ding" him and then he became con-
vinced that his number, 992. was the
lucky one.
Bennett Wins Lot.
G. Bonnell, 521 Michigan avenue,
Hammond, was the winner of the lot,
which was also ratified off last night.
No. 21 was the lucky one in this case.
Bonnell is said to be a carpenter by
trade and he was delighted when he
learned that he had been the lucky
man. He already has a house and lot,
but the new lot will be a welcome addi-
tion to his holdings. He is being con-
graduated by his friends today on his
good luck.
The drawings were made at the
Towle opera House last night between
acts at the Howe moving picture show.
There was a large crowd in attend
ance. The committee which had charge
of the drawing consisted of Peter w.
Meyn, Adam Ebert and George Eder,
all bank presidents.
A little boy was selected from the
audience to make the drawings. All
of the tickets were put into a rotary
churn and mixed up thoroughly. In the
case of the lot the fifth ticket was
| the winner and in the case of the au-
| tomobile the tenth ticket drawn out
| was the winner. The number of the
| tickets and the names of the winners
were announced from the stage.
| All day long the boys have been
| kidding Rufus Jordan, the winner
| of the automobile. First give your
| machine a good massage. then put a
| drop of hair oil in the carburator
kindle the spark plug and then let her

1t is understood that Rufus will not
| take any chances on climbing telegraph
poles before he sells the machine.

Rampoldi of the University of Payia

cial ointment made from the juice of a
pod bearing India plant the native
name of which is jaquerry, resembling

In bad cases, when the ointment is
insufficient, subcutaneous injections

has experimental successfully on hun
dreds of patients. but is unwilling to
give the cure wide publicity until ex
periments on large scale are com
pleted.
Mrs. Lee, an American resident of
Rome, who is friend of j. Pierpont
Morgan and also of Doctor Rampoldi,
arranged a private meeting between
the professor and the financier at the
latter's hotel yesterday.
The visit led to a report that Morgan
was i'll, but this was denied by his sec
retary, who adduced as proof the fact
that Morgan dined at Mrs Lees house.
1T is said that the American is greatly
interested in the discovery and is likely
to contribute financial aid toward the

Miss Eleanor Sears Makes Five

If a millionaire can get up at 5

That is one of the questions that is
agitating Burlingame and IT has not

arrival of Miss Eleanor Sears from
Boston o'clock has been the rising
time in more than one of the aristo-
cratic homes down the peninsula. Miss
Sears, with her advanced tastes and
athletic habits, is directly responsible
for ii. and her penchant for an early
morning constitutional in the way of
cross country gaIlop before break
fast has been warmly seconded by her
host. Francis j. Carolan, and by her
best friend, Miss Maud Bourn. and the
iatter's fiance, Arthur Rose Vincent.

the rest of the community or whether

who hail from the fashionable com
munity have not been long in taking
their cue.
To Miss Sears, however, is generally
conceded the honor of having set the
fashion. Since her arrival she has
been up at o'clock and. garbed in her
modish, mannish riding habit, has been
off for her ride. Carolan, an equally
alert lover of horse flesh. has been in
variably her companion, and the four
members of the little riding club
usually have chosen the hills back of
the Howard estate, leading over and
across to the Spring Valley lakes for
their ride, halting at neither creek nor
fence, and returning in exuberant spir-
its for the day.
And whether they own horse flesh
themselves or machine. or are par
tial to walking. as their favorite mode
of outdoor exercise. the rest of the
social elect are beginning to emulate
this example.

STANFORD QUAD
POINT AT ISSUE
Menlo Saloon Keeper Testing
Law Forbidding the Sale OF
Liquor Near University
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

REDWOOD CITY. March 9.-Dr. Jor-
dams efforts to remove Stanford stu
dents from the temptation of beer
busts' are likely to fail if Judge George
A. Sturtevant of San Francisco inter-
prets the new state law relative to
yesterday in hearing the appel of Bar
ney Burke.
The new law. which Burke's arrest
serves to test. says that no liquor shall
be served within a mile and a half of
Stanford university. This is taken by
the university's attorney to mean
within mile and half from the outer
limits of the university estate
James p. flanagan. for Burke. held
that the university consists not of land
but of the buildings centering about
the quad" Judge Sturtevant, sitting
for Judge Buck, implied that this is
also his view of the situation. He,
however, reserved his opinion.
Menlo. although less than one and
one-half miles from the estate, is safe
ly two and one-half miles from the
quad.
Burke was tried before Justice of
the Peace James Harmon. who upheld
the law. and appeal was then taken.
The Menlo saloons, over one of which
Burke presides, were the cause of the
facultys drastic rules which brought
about a students strike two years ago.
They were enforced by A. B. Clark,
a drawing teacher, heading the stu
dent affairs committee.

PEERS TO VOTE AGAINST
HEREDITARY CHAMBER
Reforms in House of Lords Pros
posed by Rosebery

LONDON, March 9.--When Lord Rose
berry launches his plan for the refor-
nation of the house of lords Monday
he will present a set of three resolu-
tions embodying in general terms the
course that the peers propose to follow.
The first resolution will affirm the
necessity for strong and effective
second chamber
The second will set forth that such a
chamber will be best obtainable by the
reform and reconstruction of the house
of lords.
The third will declare that a neces-
sary preliminary to such reform is the
acceptance of the principle that the
possession of peerage in itself should
no longer afford the right to sit and
vote in the house of lords.

IDING rough shod over the plea
IN of organized labor, disregarding
the petitions of a great body OF
citizens, and denying hearing to a
fellow supervisor, the committee on
public utilities jammed through a res
Olution yesterday intended to give the
United Railroads the right TO bottle
up lower Market street Through the
persistent efforts of the representa-
tives of the labor council clause was
inserted reserving to the city attorney
authority to amend the permit so as
to Safeguard the interests of the city
No Compensation Demanded
No compensation was demanded for
the permit on behalf of the city, al
though the traction corporation a year
ago had voluntarily offered $1,000 a
year for the privilege.
The permit is made out in the

Supervisor Loughery led the fight in
the interests of the United Railroads
and was seconded by Herget SUI
pervisor Pugh, who presided, gave
them ready aid. Supervisor Walsh
had announced his opposition to the
measure, but voted for it. He stated
afterward that he would oppose it on
the floor of the board if it did not
contain a saving clause for the Geary
street railway Supervisor Hooks en-
tered vigorous opposition to the grant.
The labor council, backed by large
delegation of citizens, demanded that
the permit be denied unless it con-
tanned specific provision that the United
Railroads, in return. recognize the right
of the Geary street railway to run over
the outer tracks in lower Market street
to the ferry.

The city attorney still has the power
to insert this condition. On behalf Of
Long it was stated yesterday that he
regards it as essential to the best
interests of the city that the right of
the Geary line TO operate to the ferry
be formally admitted in exchange f0E

The session was the stormiest that
has been held at any time since the
famous controversy waged about the
overhead trolley franchise in 1906.
Although it had been announced that
Mayor Mccarthy would be present, he
did not appear.
Speaking for the labor council. Sec
retary Andrew Gallagher and Vice
President B. B. RosenthaI charged that
the contemplated action was a gross
breach of faith. The colloquy between

forth prediction of an open rupture. II
