San Francisco, June THAT Pat
rick Calhoun, traction and real es
tate magnate of San Francisco and
Cleveland, INDUCED in frenzied finance
of the New Haven brand and misap
piled more than S1,OOO.000 of the
funds of the United Railways COM
pany of this city while he was presi
dent of that concern in 1912, is the
charge made by the California rail
road commission.
From his mansion in Cleveland,
Ohio. which his creditors are trying
TO take from him by foreclosure suit.
Mr.. Calhoun has issued a denial and
explained the transactions which are
called into question by the commits
sion
THE charge that l looted the COM
pany is nonsense said Mr.. Calhoun.
Il am the largest stakeholder in the
United Railways company and every
thing l did was with the authority not
only of the board of directors, but also
of the stockholders
The accusation of the railroad COM
mission came when that body recently
granted permission to the railroad
company TO borrow money for the pur-
chase of rolling stock.
The commission in its criticism
says:
ut seems that upon taking office
Mr.. Jesse w. Lilienthal. present presi-
dent of the company, forced Mr.. Cal
houn to execute promissory note
for S1,096,00O. payable one day after
date in favor of the United Railroads,
secured by stock of the Solano Irrigat-
ed Farms company, but the judgment
of the value of this promissory note
is perhaps best indicated by the fact
that Mr. Lilienthal Immediately wrote
this note down in the books of the
company as of the value of 81.
I'VE hesitate to put into words a
proper characterization of this trans
action. In plain terms. Mr.. Calhoun
took from the funds of this public
utility corporation over S1,000,000
when every available dollar was sore
ly needed properly to increase the
facilities of this company so as to
serve the community of San Francisco
and at a time when this same COM
pany was urging upon this commits
sion the necessity of issuing further
bonds to pay off maturing obligations
and also at a time when admittedly
the outstanding obligations could not
be paid at maturity by approximately
$40, 900 900
United Railroads has been paying
and now is paying dividends on first
and preferred stock amounting to
$3.50. 900 a year and these same stock
holders apparently joined in the con-
frmation of the acts of Calhoun in
ooting the company of this money.
This whole transaction is a fraud,
not only upon the public which is de-
pendent upon this utility for its street
,ar service. but also upon the bond |
ind note holders of this utility, be-
,ause to the extent that money has !
,een diverted to improper purposes |
hese creditors are defrauded.
MIR. Calhoun and the stockholders |
ieem TO have Joined in this act of |
,lunder."
II was last year that Mr.. Calhoun
withdrew 1.O96 900 ostensibly for in
estment in shares OF the Solano irri-
,ated farm, a land selling project
which the commission holds after
yard collapsed. The commission says

money ever went into the Solano prof.

Gophers are a nuisance when they
have their homes near a cornfield and
il pays well TO try poison TO kill them
off. The most common way to do this
is TO scatter poisoned corn around the
field. This usually does the work. but
Il often kills many birds that would
be a great benefit through the summer.
Taking time TO drop the poisoned corn
into the gohper holes is a better and
surer way OF killing the little pests.

Adventures Of a Crouch

, stormy hour, so I set forth to visit the
| emporium of Mr.. Bindernagle, whom /
assumed to be the easiest mark in the
retail shoe trade. He had asked me
upon several occasions to pay what
owed, but never was rude or violent, so
L selected him as the man to be ap-
preached.
''Bindernagle has for several years been
working, in his spare time, on per
petUal motion machine. The fact is well
known throughout the town, yet it never
occurred to anybody to profit by it..
Whenever the misguided inventor speaks
Of his machine, his friends laugh at him,
and his enemies say he is crazy, and

been hUngering and thirsting fer a word

that word.

glance that the time was not prOpitious.
Mr.. Bindernagle was excited about some
thing, and was throwing shoes at his
clerks. went away, patient as a red
indian upon the trail. One who buys on
tick must choose the golden moment.
Three times did I visit that palace of
trade before I found Mr.. Bindernagle in
the proper mood. He was looking out of
the window with an unspealIable sadness
in his face. 1 saw that the hour had
struck
Il stepped up to him and, after making
a few sympathetic remarks touching the
weather, led him gently and firmly to
perpetual motion. For the first time in
years he found an attentive and apprc-
ciative listener. 7 agreed with every
thing re said, and laughed to seorn those
pessimists who doubt the possibility of
perpetual motion, and in 10 minutes Bin
dernagle was weeping on nv celluloid
collar. When he had said all he could
think of I started for the door. and then
turned back as though a thought had
just struck me, and said that while
was there might as well buy pair of
shoes. The old man waited on me him
self, Mrs. Jiggers, and when I told him
to charge the shoes he said Certainly
just as though he eniOved It. Thus We
see that the successful practitioner in
the stand-off line must be a master of
strategy"

Il have no doubt that when our mOrose

he approaches the matter abruptly and
asks in so many words if his stand-Off
