Gates are to be placed on the Alameda broadgauge and on the Berkeley trains. Fares will not, ho wever, be collected, | and no change will be made in the present method of handling tickets. This course is to be taken as a simple precautionary measure for the safety of passengers and to protect the Southern Pacific Company from future possible suits for damages based on personal in- | juries, fatal or otherwise, inflicted by its trains. So says General Manager Kruttschnitt, and he also stated yesterday that the gates would be on all the trains within sixty d: ays. )yh-. Kruttschnitt explained the manerl as follows: | “I don’t know how many claims and lawsuits are pending from Alameda and | Berkeley because §f people getting off the trains on the side opposite the sidewalk. | It s to avoid these claims and suits that | . we propose to put the gates on the cars. They will prevent people getting hurt and losing their lives. *‘The immediate cause that brought it about was a claim sent in from Berkeley This was in the case of May Quill, aged 13, who was killed by getting off the train on the side opposite the sta- tion and being struck by a train coming from the opposite directian. In that case the Coroner’s jury returned a verdict which found in part as follows: “That death was caused by being crushed by | & train of the Southern Pacific Company, and | we do further find that said death was purely the result of an accident, and we do suggest that 10 avoid further accidents of the same na- ture that the Southern Pacific Company put | gates on the local trains passing the town of | Berkeley at once. " { “Is it not, then, the intention of the company to collect fares from the people who may desire to ride from one part of Alameda to the other asis now being done | in, Oakland?” was asked. iNo,” replied Mr. Kruttschnitt. “The | ates will not be guarded by conductors or Erakemen for the purpose of collecting or | punching tickets, ana the people will have the privilege of free riding the same as be- | fore, for we have never had any complaints of promiscuous jumping on and off the | Alameda trains as we had in reference to | the Oakland trains before the gates were put on. Only the gates on the side nearest the station will be ovened when the trains come to a stop, and we thus expect to save the people from the loss of limbs and life by these trains,” “Are the gates vo ba({mt on all the Ala- meda trains—broad and narrow gauge?” “For the present it is contemplated to ut them only on the broad gauge trains. %he cars are now being equipped with them in the West Oakland shops, and it will probably be sixty days before all the cars will be $hus protected. It was further learned that the gates are to be of the collapsible pattern, originally designed by Mr. Kruttschnitt for the trains of the Atlantic system [of the com- pany, and which was illustrated in THE | CavL several weeks ago. e e ALAMEDANS SUSPICIOUS. They View the Proposed Course of the Southern Pacitic Com- pany With Fear. ALAMEDA, CaL, June L—It was learned from one of the local officials here | to-day that gates are to be placed on the broadgauge trains shortly, but that no attempt would be made to collect fares from Alamedans who ride from one sta- tion to another, and that the gates are simply to protect the people from injury from accidents. While this news was received with grati- fication by many, there are not a few who view the situation with suspicion and | alarm. The putting on of gates on the broadgauge is looked upon simply as s preliminary step to adopting the same change on the narrow-gauge and then charging fares on both lines. The present course of the Southern Pa- cific Company is considered a cunning device for getting in an entering wedge | without arousing the resentment of the | local residents. . | “ThLe situation, as far as the rights and privileges of the Southern Pacific Com- pany in this town are concerned, is a pe- culiar one. It has a franchise and right | gauge | tain and operate a line of railwa | want to charge fares, if not at once, then | ing for the construction of a bicycle track & of way for the narrow-gauge road, and the right to charge fares on that line has never been questioned. But so far as the | broad-gauge is concerned, itis in a deli cate position. It has the right of way, but is shy a franchise, and, therefore, it is claimed by high legal authorities, has no right to charge fares on the trains of that | line within the confines of the town. | “It is the opinion of those who are well versed' in the devious ways of the great | and unscrupulous corporation that its | latest indication of solicitude for the wel- | fare of its patrons is nothing more than a | prelude to a vew pull on the cinch. They | expect to see the gates go on the narro gauge trains shortly, and then the inaugu- ration and enforcement of the drastic | Oakland remedy for train accidents, with | all its inconveniences and financial bll'-" dens.” i Uity Attorney Taylor, in speaking of the | matter, said: | “I know of no franchise being in ex- | istence for the running of trains on Rail- road avenue on what is known as the | broad-gauge line. 1 have made diligent search of the records and ordinances and can tind no mention of any. The com- pany, 1 understand, claims it has the right-of-way owing to possession and ownership.” “Is there any franchise for the narrow- line down Eucinal and Central avenues?’ was asked. *“Yes,” replied Mr. Taylor. “On look- | ing over the records I found that in Ma; dent and Judge Ellsworth clerk, a fran- | main- y upon | and through any avenues and streets run- | ning east and west south of the north line | of Encinal avenue, provided the railroad Before | this ordinance went to passage the name | was changed to the South Coast Pacific | Railroad Company. The franchise was for twenty-five years. Agan, in 1883 January 30, I think—the San Francisco and Colorado River Railroad Com- pany spplied for a franchise to use| the wharves, ships, depots, tracks, etc., of | the Bay and Coast Railroad Company and [ Ratlroed Company to construct, | ll the rights and grants for which that compahy incorporated. The exact | lines of streets they were to use I cannot | tell, as the designation marking them | would have to be piotied out by a com- | petent surveyor. Thisiranchise was also | for a period of twent vears,” | ““Is there any mention made of an agree- | ment not to charge fares for the franchise given the company ?” one that 1 can find.” “Can they put gates on the trgins there- fore and charge fares?’’ “There is nothing to prevent them that 1 cansee on the narrow-gauge, for I sup- pose the Southern Pacific Company has acquired therights of the San Francisco and Colorado River Company.” President J. J. Forderer ot the Board of 'own Trustees, when interviewed on the point, said that the railway company | might put on gates, but they could not charge fares on the broad gauge. To charge fares, he said, the company must have a franchise for that line, and added | that it had none. He did not think itat | all probable that "the company would charge fares on the broad-gauge. A prominent citizen, who does not wish his name to appear, 1n discussing the mat- | ter, said: “I think it is quite time this matter was | settled once ana for all. Itis continually | cropping up and affects property values very much. The City Trustees ought to take steps to let our people know where they stand. My own opinion is that the railway people Want to put on gates, and in the near future, for it has two obiectives in view. The Alameda Driving Associ; tion is constructing a mile track on the company’s land at the foot of Sherman | street. 1f thatisa ‘zo,’ then it will be | leased and enclosed and nighly improved Then again, on the other side of th penivsula, on the narrow-gauge track, | some of the Alameda cyclers and Olympic Club beoys have an option on a large hold- and the railway company is to enclose the same and make it the finest and long- est track on the coast. This will mean increased travel from across the bay and by the residents. So any one can see that if the gates go on the question of fares is only a matter of time. The citizens will have to get together and pull together if they wish to stop the company in time.”” A SOLDIERLY TRIBUTE. Commander Mortimer Sends a Grace ful Acknowledgment to Colonel Schiaudecker.

Two Refugees Arrested, Bailed Out and Taken Back to Slavery. CASE IN CAMPBELL'S COURT. Chinese Had Counsel Hired for Both Sides to Baffle the Presby- terian Home. * A questionable legal proceeding that will be brought to the attention of the Grand Jury was exposed yesterday in Police Judge Campbell’s court. Two Chinese girls who recently escaped from their dens of slavery and sought the protection of the Presbyterian Mission Home have mysteriously disappeared after being taken from the home to the California police station on a charge of grand larceny preferred by one of the denizens-of Chinatown. The story of their fleeing voluntarily to the homeand asking protection from their masters is fresh i. the minas of newspaper readers, for it oc- curred only last Tuesday. Thursday afternoon about 4 o’clock an officer visited the home with a warrant | charging Gong Ho and Suey King, the names by which the young girls were known, with grand larceny, the complaint | alleging that tise bracelets worn by them were stolen from a Chinese store. Miss Culbertson, matron of the home, followed the girls to tne police station and left orders not to permit them to be bailed out for fear their bondsmen wmight prove to be Cbinese, who would put up the small amount simply to gain possession of them. Friday morning Henry E. Monroe, for s the attorney for the Presbyterian Mission Home, repaired to the City Hall at the request ot Miss Calbertson, who had | notitied bim that his services were needed to defend the two girls. On arriving in court Miss Culbertson and the attorney were surprised to learn that a lawyer named fiogau clared, as counsel for tire girls. Ex-Judge Dibble was on_band as special prosecut- ing attorn: He asked for a continuance for two days and his request was granted. The girls were not in court, but Miss Culbertson was given to understand that they were in a neighboring room. An in- vestigation proved this assertion to be false. Further inquiry revealed the fact that the girls had been bailed out of the police station at 2:30 o'clock that morn- ing. The clerk of the court was applied to for a record of the bond, for Judge Campbell had signed the release, but it was not available. Wong Dong, the Chi- nese employed to pass upon such bonds, said he had not seen any for this particu- lar case. Yesterday the case was called again in Judge Campbell’s court. The prosecuting witness who caused the girls’ arrest was not present. Mr. Mogan for the defense asked that the case be dismissed, and ex-Judge Dib- ble, the prosecuting attorney, offered no objection. udge Campbell himself took no notice of che fact that a Chinaman had caused the arrest of two girls on a charge of fel- ony, and had then failed to appear to sub- stantiate his grave accusation. Just as the case was about to be tacitly dismissed Henry Monroe, attoruey for the home, arose and addressing the court re- lated the peculiar story. e declared that the whole proceeding had been a cut and dried scheme by which, with apparently legal methods, the original masters of the girls had pained possession of their un- willing slaves. But Judge Campbell said he had no jurisdiction in the matter and dismissed the case. Miss Culbertson of the Presbyterian Mission Home was indignant. She saia: “Thursday afternoon a police officer came here with two warrants. There wera two Chinamen with him. I asked what the charge was against the girls, but they | retused to state until I insisted upon know- Then one answered, ‘She steal two I asked him when, and he said Tuesday they had called, selected the bracelets, valued at $70, and with his permission had taken ing. | them home for approval. “The girls made their escape and came here Tuesday forenoon. I saw no brace- lets. When I questioned them they said the only bracelets they had had were given them by the old woman who kept the piace where they used to live. I told the officer that [ knew it was only a ruse on the part of t e Chinese to get the girls in the po- lice station so that they couid bail them out and take possession of them again. I asked particularly that bail be not accept- ed. In the evening my niece and an in- terpreter went down to take the girls some dinner, and orders were left not to release them on bail. The eirls were very much F e, Children Cry for Pitcher’s Castoria. was present, as he de- | afraid that someone would come and take them away. “T understood that they had been moved early Friday morning to the Central Police station at the City Hall, but when I applied to the Sheriff he had heard nothing of the transfer. He afterward volunteered to visit Judge Campbeil with me to make inquiries about the case. ‘When we called upon Judge Campbell he refused to discuss the sabject. *‘To-day when Judge Campbell had the name of Wong Bo, the prosecutinz wit- ness, called in the corridor and got no re- sponse, he said: *Well, I'm not prosecut- ing; I've nothing to hold them for,” and he dismissed the case. “Yes, I suppose we have seen the last of those girls.” Patrick J. Mogan, who had appeared as the girls' legal protector, was averse to talking of the case when seen at the New Western Hote! last night. ““I can’t disrezard the ethics of my pro- fession and betray the confidence of my client,”” he remarked, as though that set- tled the matter. But little by little he unbosomed himself and concluded by de- claring that if what Mr. Monroe had said in court was true then he him- self had been the innocent tool of two Chinese schemers who had called upon him late Thursday night and asked him to make out a bond for the release of two girls arrested on a trumped- up charge. He was also asked to defend them in court, as they wished a speedy | trial. His clients had told iim, he said, that the girls must not appear in court, as it was feared a company of highbinders would be there ready to take possession of them as soon as they should be released. ““When Mr. Monroe made that crack in court to-day, that's the first I knew about the story. 'If he’d come and told me that last Friday, I might have taken a different stand. All I can say i, if I'd known these things at first I wouldn’t a had anything to do with the case. If what he says is true, then I've been imposed upon and it’s unfortunate. Then Mr. Mogan went on to say that he had little to do with the Chinese cases anyway and in the next sentence he de- clared that it was a very common thing for Chinese to come after nim at night and make out a bond to be signed by Judge Campbell, who also has apartments in the hotel. GUILTY OF CONTEMPT. | Dr. Charles G. Kuhlman Sentenced to Five Days in the County Jail by Judge Campbell. Dr. Charles G. Kuhlman appeared before Judge Campbell yesterday to answer to the charge of contempt for refusing to answer certain questions put to him by Coroner Hawkins at the inquest on the | body of Jeans Londerup on Saturday, May 23. Dr. Kuhiman’s attorney argued that the questions his client had refused to answer called for privileged information, and he fortified his position by citing numerous English authorities. The Judge did not agree with the view of the defendant’s attorney. He pointed out that an mmquest was not a civil, but a quasi-criminal proceeding, and the ques- tions should have been answered, as they were not in the nature of privileged in- formation. He therefore adjudged the defendant guilty of contempt and sen- tenced him to be confined in the County Jail for five days. An appeal wiil be taken to the Superior Court. and, pending that, Dr. Kuhlman has furnished bonds. Dr. Kublman had accused the Coroner of attemptineg to shield the Market-street Cable Company in the damage suit which | has arisen out of the death of Londerup, and it was owing to that accusation that | the Coroner propounded the questions that Dr. Kuhlman refused to answer. e — BOARD OF HORTICULTURE.

There are thousands of women, married and unmarried, to whom life is full of sorrow and sadness. Instead of feeling light-hearted and hapoy they find a dreary monotony in exist- ence. Do you know why ? It is because they snffer from cares that break down the health, and from tired, miserable feelings that steal away youth and beauty. No wonder they feel unhappy! But there is fortunately a way for these weak, sickly women to regain lost health andstrength, as can be seen by the following opinions of some ladies who speak from per- sonal experience: Miss Anna Maxey of South Soloa, Ohio, sa: “I suffered from Tervous prostrution, indiges- tion and sleeplessness, following a spefl of sick- ness, until my life was despaired of. It best tonics my physician prescribed without receiviug the least benefit. * Finally he advised me to try a course of Duffy's pure malt whiskey. 1 did so and am now able 10 sleep well, and am rapidly gaining strength.” 524 N. 23d St., Philadelphia, Mrs. L. C. Miller, y much from weak- used to suffer ve ity, but I now use Duffy's pure and keep up my health. By taking it I find that my appetite is better, T sleep well and do mot huve that tired, weary feeling I formerly experienced. the best thing I cver tried.” Thousands of ladies have passed through a similar experience and have testified to the same effect. They have also found out that the best thing to take for this purpose is Duffy’s pure majt whiskey, because it is un- equaled for its restorative powers, There is nothing like it for driving away blue, de- spondent feelings and making weak, sickly people strong, healt! nd well. Tt is certainly NEW TO-DAY—AMUSEMENTS. FRICDLANDER.GOTTLOD & w@mwm-u ¢ READ | HEAR THE | WHAT VERDICT | THE PEOPLE HAVE TO SAY. AGAIN A TRIUMPH! ] THE PLA DELIGHTFUL!
