It was a bewildering mass of bloom and color, radiant in effect and redolent. Roses, carnations and fernms, grasses and weeds from the deep blue waters of the Pacific, and wild flowers from mountainside and valley plain were there in profusion. Never in the history of the soclety has there been a finer exhibition. During the day light streams came freely in from above. At night myriads of electric bulbs cast refulgent rays over all. With these accessories the beauty of the selected flow: passes comprehension. Off in the northern end is a collection of wild flowers.

Ah Lin and Wong Leong, two Chinese clamdiggers, live in a cubby hole in the basement of 621 Jackson street. Ah Lin is a physical wreck from the excessive use of oplum and has been acting queerly of late. Yesterday afternoon, while Wong Leong was smoking in his bunk, Ah Lin attacked him with a shinglers’ hatchet and cut him {n a dozen places on the head. Sergeant Christiansen and Policeman Handley arrived on the scene and took the two men to the Receiving Hospital. Ah Lin had a slight cut on his hand, He was afterward taken to the City Prison and booked on a charge of assault to mur- der. Wong Leong was found to have twelve scalp wounds and a slight fracture of the skull, but none of the wounds are considered serious. ————— Bowie Case Is Submitted. Augustus J. Bowie was on the stand in Judge Seawell's court yesterday giv- ing additional testimony in his action nflunst his dau;hr.er Elizabeth A. Bowle, who {s now in Paris. The suit was insti- tuted for the purpose of quieting title to property on Clay street, between Franklin and Gough. Bowle was subjected to a rigid cross-examination by Charles S. Wheeler, who represents the daughter, but no interesting facts were developed. The case was submitted for decision, Botsford Gets Three Years. Frank W. Botsford, who was held to answer by Judge Fritz on the charge of embezzling money from the Iquitable Life Assurance Socls‘x', of which he was an. agent, pleaded guilty in Judge Law- lar's court yesterday and was sentenced to three years' imprisonment at S8an Quentin. L= FIR NORTHERN Union Pacific People Are Taking Care of New | Purchase. | Outlook for a Harmonious Agreement Between the Different Interests. | —_— Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, May 16.—Union Pacific ine | terests, having bought control of the | Northern Pacific as a means of protecting their own property, are now considering plans for taking care of their new pur- chase. Plenty of rumors were current in 1 these plans would take. Onme of the stories was { | 1“’&11 stret to-day as to the fc | that the Union Pacific would take over | the Northern Pacific stock acquired by | the Harriman-Kuhn-Loeb party, issuing convertible bonds for it. This report was discredited. The fact s that the interests Which have bought heavily into Northern Pacific have tentatively discussed various projects, but have arrived at nothing definite. The outlook for harmonious agreement between this party and the Hill-Morgan | | interests is admirable and it is highly | | probable that both sides will consuit amic- ably before ‘disposing of any imporeant phase of the situation. The resuit is like- Iy to be better conditlons in the North- | wester, from the standpoint of a holder | of railroad shares, than prevailed thera | | before the Burlington deal was ever con- lated. e remarkable rumor which got Into print to-day and was pronounced ridicul- ous in authoritative quarters was that the Tecent sharp decline in Union Pacific com- mon shares was forced by the men in con trol of that road in order to bring about the low price at which Northern Pacifio antagonists could pick up bargains and thus cement the bonds of reunion. Finan- clers commented on this story to the ef- fect that they had yet to hear of the real owners of an important property alming to cheapen it In order to let other men ac- quire it.
