Veloped today that Heine thinner

away from the hotel all night He

FRISCO RAILWAY FIGHT
After IL Years City Has Voted to
Build and Operate Lines.

san Francisco, Cal. Aug. 2S.-Com-
hitting itself to the policy of public
ownership of public utiliti s, San Fran
cisco yesterday voted a $S,5OO,0eo
bond issue to build its own railroads
to the great Panama-Pacifc exposi-
ton that will be held in 1915.
In voting for these bonds the city
Won a fight that was begun seventeen
years ago by William Randolph Hearst
and his newspapers in the interest of
municipal ownership. and the victory
is the most distinctive of its kind ever
achieved in the United States.
E 1t means that San Francisco will not
only operate its own cars to the fair
grounds but that in the days to come
il will be a city where public owner
ship of public utilities will be a vital
factor in its civic life.
The bonds voted for yesterday
authorize an elaborate extension of the
municipality owned Geary street rail
road. which has been operating
through one of the city's principal ar
terieS of traffic since last December.
San Franciscans now ride on their
own street cars from the ferry station,
where passengers land from the east,
to the ocean beach. a stretch of tracks
that traverse the city from end to end.
The extensions to the railroad sys-

corporation that has been so embar-
raised by litigation that it is using ev
cry source of its vast organization to
accommodate the people who were
formerly subjected to the most wretch
ed railway accommodations in the
country.
Patrick Calhoun who was president
of the United Railways has been de-
posed from office, and his place has
been taken by Jesse w. Lilienthal,
san Francisco attorney.
The corporation saw the handwrit-
ing on the wall at the eleventh hour.
and the announcement of the change
was made in the hope of having the
people vote against the bonds.
But the announcement came too
late, and the overwhe Inning vote of the
Big Business in San Francisco that the
people had grown tired of wretched
street car service and were going to
run their own cars.
Lilienthal will. of course, improve
the service of the United Railways,
and with this private corpora ton com
peting with the municipality owned
lines San Francisco should have one

The moral of the election is for
chile one and it shows that public own
ership of public utilities is a live, prac-
teal issue that Will have to be met by
the public spirited men and women of
every city in the country.

President Wilson's Latest Pro-
pOsal to Mexico
Calls for Elimination of Huerta
From Electoral Contest.
ASKS AN IMMEDIATE ANSWER
GambOa Says First Reply
Stands in This Case.
The Suggestion, He Declares.
Impossible of FuIfilIment.

Mexico City, Aug. 2S.-Without
comment. Federico Gamboa, the min
, lister of foreign affairs, presented to
; the standing committee of the MeXi-
can congress facts in the controversy
| between Mexico and the United States.
I The congressman comprising the
committee received the facts without
| comment other than that INDUCED in
as individuals after adjournment. I'm
! less there are new developments it is
improbable that discussion, even of a
private character, will continue long.
Senior GambOa insists that the ne
gotiations are not entirely concluded,
but should they be it is probable that
soon the entire affair will be regarded
as a closed incident

sists upon an immediate answer only

eliminated from the electoral contest.
All other points, President Wilson says.
may be taken up later, suggesting,
however, that they be taken up with
out great delay.
Minister Gamboa replying to the
second note presented by Mr.. Lind,
said in effect that his first answer
might stand for reply to this note
but that President Huerta, desiring to
exercise extreme forbearance, was
willing to make further explanations
to the suggestions offered by President
Wilson that if the Mexican govern
ment "acts Immediately and favor
ably" upon the suggestions, President
Wilson would express to American
bankers and their associates assur-
ances that the government will look
with favor upon the extension of an
Immediate loan sufficient to meet the
temporary needs of the present ad-
ministration.'
To this Senior Gamboa replied:
There could not be a loan big
enough offered to induce those en-
trusted with the national dignity TO
put that dignity aside"
The minister declared that the rec
ommendation regarding the withdraw
al of General HuertaS candidacy was
impossible of fulfillment saying: Not
only would We forego our sovereignty
but compromise Indefinitely our deS-
TIMES as a sovereignty and all future
elections for president would be sub
mitted to the veto of any presi-
dent of the United States. Such an
enormity no government will ever at
tempt to perpetuate."
He pointed out the clause in the
which incapacitates a
president ad interim from becoming
a candidate at a forthcoming election.

PORTER'S ANIMALS.
Commissioner Defends Their Care and
Treatment at Zoo.

Several animals that have died at Gags
park this year have not succumbed tc
poor treatment, according to Commission
er w. L. Porter, although the commits
sioner says the animals have not a proper
place to stay. The deaths, however, and
there have been five of them, have occur
red through other causes.
The disasters started early in the spring
when a black bear died, from spinal trou-
BILE, it Is asserted; That occurred just
office. Later a buffalo died following
the birth of a calf. kangaroo died
mysteriously and the authorities finally
decided she had been poisoned One of
the does in the deer park had to be killed
after she lost the use of her limbs, and
alligator succumbed to injuries re-
ceived in shipment before he was placed
in the park.
The animal cages are unprotected from
the sun they are arranged at present,
modern in every respect, ought to be
built. But there is no money to build one.
A house such as he wants to build would
cost in the neighborhood of $4,000.
Despite the fact that the cages are I'M
deniably hot Porter declares they are
cooler than lots of the houses of Topeka
during the kind of weather that has been
visiting Topeka.
My wife has to work part of the time
anyway in a kitchen where the tempera-
ture is up to 40 to 125 degrees, he said
THE animals are in this climate and
they will have to stand it. We cannot
afford to build refrigeration plant Tor
a summer resort during the hot weather.
The animals are cared for as carefully
as human beingS-as carefully as Dap1es
are cared for at the Provident association.
A man is ON hand all the time to look
after the animals and feed and care for
them. Their cages are open in front ana
have a door at the back so that breeze
may go through. 1 should like to have
as nice place to sleep these hot nights
as those animals have.
There has been some complaint know
about the way the animals are cared for.
But [ would like to have some OF the
people who are kicking ask themselves
what kind of a temperature their hired
girls are working in, and see If they
are as much Interested in these girls as
they are in the animals at the park. Per
haps their concern would melt a little
Some day, Porter says, he hopes to see
"a rnOt he this year or next, from present
prospects In the meantime the animals
will be given the best possible ATTENTION:
and Porter does not believe that any OIL
them are diving from lack of care.
