Applications Indicate Great
Crowd Will Inspect the
New District

The applications pouring in upon A.
]. Rich s. Co. for reservations for next
Sundays excursion to Solano City al
ready indicate the swamping of the
Oakland and Antioch accommodations,
Notwithstanding preparations to care
for a large crowd. Steps were taken
yesterday to care for the excess by
running one special train, and prob
ably two, over the Southern Pacific to
Suisun and taking the visitors to the
tOwnsite by automobiles, as was done
in the land sales.
The Oakland and Antioch is rushing
work night and day to put the trolley
line in place between Chipps island and
Solano. The work will be done by
Sunday.
oficials OF the road have provided a
special car for the directors of SoIano

the heavy applications for reservations
by mail. So many IS checks have been
received by mail as first payment on

RECOGNIZING THE INDIAN

Among the many intelligent and
appropriate minor acts of President
Wilson, his appointment of full
blood Choctaw Indian to the impor-
tant position of registrar of the treas
ury stands out conspicuously.
The Indian has been a ward Of the
nation too long. He has been cod
died to death and made the prey and
victim in more ways than one of de-
signing and crafty white men, both in
and out of office.
Apparently the only theory that
the government has ever had in its
relations with the Indian has been
that he is child and must always
be treated like child. The Indians
civilization as compared with that of
the whites was originally primitive
and childlike, but the twentieth CEN
tury Indian, wherever he may be, is
of fair average intelligence and edu-
cation compared with many of the inn
ants NAOAii We llCCly, QO
not consider wards, and whom we
leave TO their own resources.
Practically surrounded by white
men everywhere, thoroughly educated
as SO large a percentage of them are
now, the up to date Indian is as capa-
bic of self-support as the average
white man, and he should be given a
free opportunity to make good wher-
ever he seeks to do SO.
The appointment of full blood
Indian to a responsible administrative
position in the federal government is
a recognition of the fact that Indians
can make good if they are given a
chance
Secretary Lanes declared policy is
complete freedom for the Indian. If
he can bring it about during his term
of Office he will remove a constant
source of scandal, the Indian bureau:
will reduce the expense of govern
ment materially, and will prove the
best friend the Indians have ever had
in public Office

THE LAND SHOW

The enthusiasm which has marked
the big work preliminary to Califor-
, MAS first state land show justifles the
optimism of the men whose hopes
are bound up in the normal develop
ment of northern California
The San Francisco Real Estate
board is responsible for the move
ment which is to result in the land
show in this city October 11-25. I'm
doubtedly the members of that asso-
citation will reap some immediate ben
efits from the exposition of northern
CALIFORNIA; virtually untouched agri-
cultural wealth
The members of interior real estate
rganizations will reap even larger
benefits. but its chief benefciaries will
be the people of the counties from the
Tehachapi to the Oregon line.
For years the people of northern
California have been content to enjoy
the fruits of their unexploited superior
advantages. They have made nothing
like organizedss effort to divert the
stream Of immigration which has
given southern California the most
extraordinary development in history.
Now, thanks to the initiative of real
estate operators, they have come to
realize that there was an impelling
human energy behind that tide of i'm
migration. They have come to realize
that the inferior advantages of south
ern California have been eagerly
sought by eastern investors and home
builders, because the men of southern
California have increasingly exploited
those advantages.
The eastern investor and home
builder have not been told that north
ern California citrus fruit growers
have seasonal advantage of from
four to six weeks in the ripening of
their products for the earliest and
most profitable markets.
They have not been made to realize
that the finest orange and olive lands
in this state extend along bench of
foothills virtually the entire length of
California; two great interior Valleys
They have not been made acquainted
with the fact that these lands may be
purchased at approximately half the
prevailing prices for citrus and olive
lands in southern California
They have been told nothing of the
productivity of the lower valley, delta
and island lands, and the extraor-
binary profits made by their cultiva-
tors.
The land show will enable Califor-
mia TO demonstrate these conditions
concretely to the thousands Of east
ern visitors who will pass through
San Francisco during the October
fortnight.
This show is to be no mere real
estate operators scheme of cxploita-
ton. It's success will mean more for
the development of northern Ca1ifor-
MIA than all the disorganized efforts
of decade.
Every wage Garner and tax payer
has genuine pocketbook interest in
its success and owes it 10 himself to
lend his support and influence to in
sure that success.

THE SUFFRAGE CONFERENCE

The conference of the National
Council of Women Voters, which will
convene tomorrow for a three days
session in Washington, can scarcely
fail to exert a marked influence on
the suffrage movement throughout
the world.
The delegates to the conference
will represent 100000 American
women voters. They will not attempt
to mob the White House nor will
they assault any member of the cabi-
net or congress.
Some of them will address open air
meetings in the streets of the national
capital, and on Friday night the pub
lie will be invited to attend a mass
meeting at one OF the Washington
theaters.
Otherwise the work OF the confer
ence will be in executive session. The
best thought and efforts of the dele
gates will be directed to the formula
ton of plans for the extension OF
women's Suffrage to every state in
the union.
Miss. Jane Adams of Chicago Hull
house will be the principal speaker at
the one big public meeting, and it
may be assumed that every act of the
conference will be in sharp contrast
with the methods of the Pankhurst
militants. whose antics in England
have served to retard the suffrage
movement there and here.
Many women who will sit in the
conference at Washington will be
committed to the policy of a demand
upon congress for a general suffrage
act.
Probably majority of the con-
ferees will adhere to the saner and
safer policy of individual state fights,
financed in part and supported by the
women of those states that have con-
ceded the right of equal suffrage.
Whatever policy may be adopted
by the conference, the American pub
lie knows in advance that it will in

| FERRY T ALES
BY LINDSAY CAMPBELL

|yAIHEN C. W. Durbrow, commuter
wv and Southern Pacific attorney. In
formed the state railroad commits
sion the other day that the railroad
company was losing money on. It's
transbay ferry system. the first Inn
preston was that Mr.. Durbrow had
found the hat he lost last New Year
eve and was using 1t for megaphone.
Then arose the awful suspicion that
the trained mathematician who used to
show at regular intervals how much
the Pacific Mail company was losing
on Its Panama service. had been trans
ferred to the railroad department.
Now. however. the company comes
forth with the figures on which 1t bases
its assertion and the situation appears
to be even worse than Mr.. Durbrow
suggested. The company operates SIT
trains daily in connection with Its
broad and narrow gauge ferry systems.
During the last year 100000 passen-
gers were carried. The total revenue
from passengers for the year was
s1,365,707.15, and the total expense of
carrying them. according to the COM
pany's figures, was s4.s13.262, leaving
a deficit of ss,247.554S5
X
In brief the figures show that for
every passenger it carries on it's
suburban service the company loses
approximately IT cents.

Here's a chance to swat the S. p.
that nobody ever thought of Every
time something happens which you
think can be blamed on Governor John
sons favorite football, take trip to
Oakland and set the company back IT
cents. That's better than kicking it.
The lesson that this teaches us is
figures.
There is also lesson for the South
ern Pacific. The majority of the
100000 pirates who have been loot
Ing the company's treasury are COM
muters. The reason ascribed for the
heavy commuter travel is the made
facilities. The city. with the proceeds
of the s3.500.000 bonds. proposes to
make improvements In this respect
which the United Railroads is unable
to undertake under present franchise
conditions. Every Improvement in the
streetcar service will reduce the stream
of commuter travel and any reduction
in the volume of that stream, accord
Ing to Mr.. Durbrow's statement, will
mean q saving to the Southern Pacific
The answer to all OF which may be
that every loyal empIoye of the South

be expected to get out and work for
better streetcar facilities in the city.

to admit that the corporation maintains

AN ACTING CHIEF OF POLICE


In the hands of an acting chief of
police the gambling problem seems
to involve no extraordinary difficult
ties
Acting Chief of Police Captain
John Mooney has demonstrated that
gambling in the incorporated clubs
can be prevented by the head of the
San Francisco police department. If
he prefers action to silly excuse for
nonaction.
Some weeks ago D. Augustus
White, de jure chief of police, at
tempted to explain away his respon-
sibility for gambling scandal by
telling the people of San Francisco
that the police could not know what
was going on in the incorporated
clubs. He also told them that the
incorporated violators of the law were
protected by law.
Captain John Mooney, who had
been one of Chief Whites chief apol-
ogists, retorted nonsense" or in
words to that general effect. He de-
clared that the suppression of gam
bling was the easiest thing in the
world and that the police depart
ment could wipe out gambling if it
chose to.
And now as acting chief of police
Captain Mooney has demonstrated
that he knew what he was talking
about On Sunday he raided the
Siberia club. Forty-three persons
were arrested.
Captain Mooney evinced no fear of
injunction nor of the> terrors of an
equity court. He made a raid. He
sent 43 persons to the city prison.
He stopped or prevented gambling in
the Siberia club No equity court has
deprived him of his liberty or imposed
a fine upon him for daring to enforce
the law
But that was only part OF his
days work. He stationed a patrol
wagon and squad of uniformed men
in front of the Phoenix club He bat
tered down no doors He made no
arrests He violated no orders of
court
1t was not necessary for him to do
any of those things. The presence of
the patrolmen kept the suckers" out
OF the Phoenix clubrooms 1t fur
nished an impelling incentive for an
exodus of the gamekeepers and hang
ers on. There was no gambling in
the Phoenix club.
The articles of Incorporation which
Chief White found an insuperable
barrier around the gambling clubs do
not safeguard property owners who
rent premises for gambling purposes:
Captain Mooney has heard some
thing of an ordinance which has been
the law of San Francisco for years
That ordinance imposes heavy penal
ties upon landlords who permit their
properties to be used for gambling.
The acting chief of police has de-
clared that he would proceed under
that ordinance against Harbor Com
missioner Thomas Williams, who, it
Is said, owns the building in which
the Phoenix club has been conducted
Injunction will not lie to prevent
Captain Mooney from invoking that
law. 1t may be a bad law, but not
many citizens enjoying the respect of
the community would care to be the
moving cause for a constitutional
clinic on it.
Captain Mooney has demonstrated
that gambling can be stopped He
has also emphasized one of the prin-
cipal distinctions between a chief and
an acting chief of police
