THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WED PRIL. 5, 1899 HUNTINGTON IS STILL REACHING Seeks to Control the Rate Situ ation of the Continent. FOR THE EARTH Santa Monica Will Be Boomed--leased Lines in California May Be Placed Under Joint Ownership. B40404+ 04040 4+ 0404 040+ 0+0+0 1040434 040+ S +O+040+040+l RESH from his achievement in saddling the debt of the Central F Pacific Railroad Company on the people cf California, the pres- ident of the Southern Pacific Company is now scheming to con- trol the rate situation of the entire country by securing an inde- pendent through water and rail route between the Atlantic and Pa- cific seaboards that will be less expensive to operate than any ex- isting line. This he hopes to accomplish by securing the ownership of a railroad across Guatemala, with connecting steamship lines on each coast. His mind is also still bent on making Santa Monica the suc- cessful rival of San Pedro as the harbor of Southern California, and to win out on this proposition will probably make Santa Monica ar important station on the through coast route by way of San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara. It is not unlikely that the near future may see all the leased lines of the Southern Pacific Company under one management by means of joint ownership. Such a probability was intimated by President Huntington in an interview yesterday. 4040404 040+ O+ O+T4TH0+0I0 4040404040424 04 0404 04O+ S H the Panama company, but give him the key tinental rate situ 3 [ 5 < + [} + [} < + [} Ep [+] 3 [+] + < + (4} - [ - L ton never sleeps on his | marching right on to| will virty 0 the_entire trans tion.

IE WAU, a pretty slave girl of 20 summers, cleverly eluded yesterday the keepers of the vile den in which she was imprisoned, and with the kindly aid of Miss Lake of the Methodist Misslon managed to be well on her way to the Flowery Kingdom before her masters knew exactly what had happened. Lie Wau planned all the detalls of her escape herself and the cun- ning devices of her Orlental brain carried her scheme to a most successful seszetgel 2etine tonant nl fssue. Several days ago Miss Lake recefved word by means of a trusted agent that Lie Wau would escape the vile life of the Ross' alley den and -prayed Miss Lake to assist her in the attempt. Acting according to the Jittle Mon- s Instructions Miss Lake, accompanied by Mr. Shannon of the Califor- ociety for Prevention of Cruelty to Children, was waiting in a carriage vesterday at noon at the corner of Jackson and Stockton streets. Lie Wau came strolling by, recognized Miss Lake by the white neckdress of her order, gave a prearranged signal and was soon within the hack that was making for the fiithy den in Ross alley, where all the -belongings of the poor slave girl were. At the sliding door of the den of vice Officer Shannon crouched shadow, while Lie gave the required mystic knocks. As the door swung on its hinges Shannon came to the front, marched with the trembling slave girl to the room where all her belongings were, gathered them up and made way again to the walting carriage. The driver whipped up his horses and a few minutes before the city clocks chimed the first hour of the afternoon Shannon and Miss Lake safely landed their charge aboard the China steamer. in the | | | | “Is it the intention to extend the coas Monica by connect- < S (4 + § () + © + < + < o< g + (4 + [ + (] + o L] 3 up % Santa Monica the rival pay the debts of his | c >edro as the harbor of Southern alifornia.

The impaneling of the jury to try the case of H. L.

When the e was called Willlam S, Redington w 1sked to step forward, and he stated that he had been served with a subpena addressed to Willlam P. Redding- ton. He had an uncle in the same firm whose name was W. P. Reddington. Attorney Ach at once moved that the entire venire of 100 be discharged, as there was no such person as W. P. Reddington, and therefore the full 10 had not been summoned. Even though it was admitted there was a W. P. Redington there was ne such man as W. P. Reddington. The | Judge overruled the objection and excused W. 8.

Neither the Victim of the Attack Nor the Officers Can Account for It on Any Other Grounds. Thé story of the attempt of an unknown marksman upon the life of Waiter E. Sell, published exclusively in yesterday’s Call, occasioned no end of a sensation on hoth sides of the bay. In East Berkeley, where Mr. Sell resides and owns a daily newspa- per and a street railroad, is superintend- ent of the Sunday school and one of the deacons in the First Presbyterian Church, it was recelved as a shock, softened only by the knowledge that the bullet had missed its mar The house at 2218 Ellsworth street, East Berkeley, into which the bullet was fired, s the center of attraction yesterday for large number of sightseers, who found hard the vine-covered The hole in the dining room window pane was not to be got over, however.

That he did not hit him may have been from design, or it may have been from acci- dent, the warning note left under the door now inclining Mr. Sell and the offi- cers who have been looking into the mat- ter to the first theory. It has been established to the satisfac- tion of Marshal Lloyd and the detectives whom Mr. Sell put in possession of the facts that the man who fired the shot was mnot in the yard at 2216 Ellsworth street when he pulled the trigger. In the first place, he could have found no posi- tion in the narrow garden from which he could have held his weapon in position to speed the bullet on the line it took, as in- dicated by the hole in the window pane and the. corresponding hole in the plaster- ing on the opposite wall. In addition to this there are evidences on the adjoining remises to the south that the person fir- ing upon Mr. Sell pulled the trigger while standing there. The place, which it known as the Bates Gymnasium property, has long been disused, the grass having entirely overgrown it to the depth of a foot. In this grass, about the middle of the yard and twenty feet to the south and a little to the rear of Sell's dining room window, the officers found evidences of recent human intrusion. It was trampled down in a small circle, from which the shot, even then, must have been fired bya tall man to take the line it did. Leading from this trampled spot to the rear gate opening to Atherton street-was found a trail through the grass undoubtedly made by the unknown ruffian. Beyond the gate there was nothing to show’ the direction he had taken, Mr. Sell and Huih J. Dykes, the inven- tor, who was with him when the bullet came whistling through the window pane, are certain now that had they reached institution. The concert was under the direction of Mr. Henry Holmes, the violin | virtuoso, assisted by some of the best known musicians in the city.
