Competition Is Avoided. It is further said that the territory west of Chicago is to be divided in such a way that competition will in a great measure be avoided on any except wholesome lines, and there will be a large increase in net earnings for all concerned. Therc were fanciful suggestions in regard to another proprietary company, to take in the Union Pacific, the Northwestern and the St. Paul roads, but it is declared to be too early to give any detalls about the schemes. The notion that they are to be controlled by the Northern Securities Company was generally discredited, for the reason that a further increase in ths colossal aggregation of capital might en- courage adverse legislation. The question that most interested the financial community to-day in connecticn | with the big combination was how much cash had been required to put througn the scheme and whether the money mar- ket would be deserted at the time when the surplus of the local banks is at a low level. Financiers who are interested in the deal soon dispelled all doubt on this sub- ject by declaring that the underwriting syndicate would have little to do, one authority asserting that not more than 'SNOW BLOCKS .

MY RESTORE CONTROL BY THE MILITARY Army and Navy Men Urge President to Such Course. Governor Taft’'s Authority Likely to Bs Again Subordinated. It Is Claimed That Civil Rule Will Not Be Successful in the Philip- pines Until All Islands Are Pacified. Special Dispateh to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G :STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.—If the President adopts the views of many prominent military and naval officers who have recently returned from the | Philippines he will restore the military to complete governmental control, to the ex- clusion of Governor Taft's authority. It would not be surprising should it de- velop that this is one of the matters to which the President has been giving spe cial attention in his recent conversations with prominent members of Congress. It is his purpose to carefully discuss tho Philippine situation in his annual mes- sage to Congress, and before framing this feature he desires to get all the light upon it that he can. The President under- stands the view of military men that | while the rebeilion in the Philippines is no longer organized outbreaks and unrest may be expected for years, and until the islands have been pacified it is useless to attempt to establish civil government. He is now waiting to receive the report of Governor Taft and his assoglates, who form the Philippine Commisgion. This report was started on.its y to- the United States, but the tfangport bringing it sustained an accident and was com- pelled to put into Nagasaki for repairs. Another transport was sent to Nagasaki to receive the report, but she was unfor- tunate in having a breakdown on leaving Nagasaki, and the quartermaster on board deemed it necessary to return. Th2 Hancock has gone to Nagasaki to get the report, and it is hoped she will bring it safely to San Francisco. Senators Lodge and Spooner were in consultation with the President yesterday and again to-day, and it is understood the | Philippines situation was discussed. It is the general impression, despite the views of the military, that the President will not, for the present at least, abandon the | plan for civil government which McKin- | ley inaugurated. @ il el @ 'SHIPS LOST ON | BRITISH COAST During the Present Storm Fifty Vessels Go Down and Over 180 Men Perish LONDON, Nov. 15.—It is still impossi- Ble to estimate with any exactitude the total loss of life and property resulting from the protracted gale, and probably the full extent of the damage will never be known. Much wreckage of unidentified vessels is still being thrown up. Altogether it is known that some fifty vessels have been wrecked along the British coast. Thirty- four of these have been absolutely wrecked, involving, it 1s believed, a loss of more than 180 drowned. The Yar- mouth lifeboat disaster alone leaves forty-four fatherless children. BELFAST, Nov. 14—From wreckage seen in Belfast Lough to-day it is sup- posed that the 59-ton collier White Abbey has been lost and her crew of nine drowned. LARGE SNAKE SWALLOWS A SLEEPING ALLIGATOR A Python in the Central Park Men- agerie Makes,a Rather Strange Meal. uree pythons in the Central Park menag- erie felt hungry to-day. It crawled over to a tank of water, where three young alligators weré lying asleep, and swal- lowed the largest one, which measured two feet eight inches. The snake was eight feet long. . Jake Cook, the Keeper, entered the building as the snake was completing its meal. He reached the cage in time to see the alligator's tail twitching as it dis- appeared from view. The other two alli- gators were taken from the cage, lest the snake swallow them also. When the snake stretched itself on the floor there was an apparent bulge in the middle, and the outlines of the alligator could be seen plainly. Superintendent Smith was sur- prised at the conduct of the python, as the two species of reptiles live in peace with each other when in a wild state. @ ittt el @ loaded with lumber and cedar, sprang a leak and became waterlogged in the heavy gale last night off Point Aux Barques. The life-saving crew rescued the crew of nine to-day in a freezing condi- tion.

G. King received a slight wound in the hip. About a year ago the Caldarellas were jointly interested in the fruit store at 102 Second street. They disagreed and Frank bought out the interest of Luigi, who theyt opened a saloon. The latter had sent previously for his two sons, who were then in Sicily—Michael, aged about 17, and George, aged 13. Both of these arrived in San Francisco last November and es- poused thelr father's cause. Against George, the younger, two charges of as- sault to murder are pending as a result of yesterday’s fray, and a similar charge is hanging over his elder brother. One of the charges against George may be changed into murder, there being a prob- ability that the injuries inflicted by his pistol upon his uncle Frank may result seriously. About 7;30 o'clock yesterday morning, when George Orlando, who is a brother- in-law of Luigi Caldarella, was about to go to work for the Roylance Brass Works at 112-14 Main street, he had a dispute with Frank Manginl, who is employed there and who is a brother-in-law of Frank Caldarella, over the possession of a seat. Both men were in the finishing room, and Mangini pulled out his pistol and fired two shots at Orlando. The lat- ter ran around the corner of the finishing room toward the entrance and returned the fire. For a few minutes the shooting was-lively, and Olando received a bullet in his left hand and Mangini retreated to the rear. - Police Officer Mackay was called in and he sent Orlando. to the Harbor Receiving Hospital and later to the Harbor police station, where he was booked on a charge of assault to commit murder. Shooter Makes Escape. Officer Mackay, aided by Officer Ing- ham, made a search of the brass works for Mangini. They were informed by em- ployes that he had run through the build- ing, dropped his revolver in his flight, re- turned and later went into the cellar. Officer Mackay made a search of the cel- lar, but could not find his man. Ascer- taining his address, the officers went to ship, which is now drifting down Lake Huron, ! the residence of Frank Caldarella, 550 Hovprd street, where he resided, and pro- —_— ‘shot was fired £ — YOUTHFUL AVENGER, HIS FATHER AND BROTHER, AND THE UN- CLE OF THE BOY WHO IS BELIEVED TO BE DYING FROM BUL- LET WOUNDS INFLICTED BY HIS NEPHEW, st s ceeded to search the place. Frank Cal- darella was induced by Officer Mackay to go down Third street from his residence to search for Mangini. Just as Frank was passing the corner of Tehama street George Caldarella, the 13-year-old son of Luigi, began firing at him. One bullet struck the old man ir the head and the second penetrated his shoulder blade. The lad fired a thirl shot, which is probably the one that grazed Special Officer King. George, pursued by Officer Mackay, ran around o the rear end of his father's sa- loon, at 245 Third street, and as he dashed into the door Michael, who was tending bar for the father while the latter was arranging for the release of Orlando at the Hall of Justice, fired a shot at Mack ay, but although the weapon was held or his knee he missed his mark. George hid himself in a rear room and Sergeant Gorman, who was passing in a car, went to Mackay's assistance, Gor- man grabbed Michael, while Mackay went after George. From his concealment the latter took -seweral shots at the officer. but without effect. He was promptlv placed under arrest. While Sergeant Gor- man and Officer Mackay were taking their charges to the patrol box a crowd- ot excited Italians endeavored to get the lads away, but by swinging their clubs right and left the officers soon quieted them. t Gorman says but on: by the police during the excitement, and that was by Mackay over the head of the fleeing George. Ingham joined in the affray necar the close ani rarticipated in the arrest. Frank Caldarella was removed to the Central Emergency Hospital, where tke bullet that penetrated his skull was lo- cated. Thig was removed by Dr. Bunne.l. The more serious wound is the one im- flicted by the bullet that entered his shoulder. The bullet ranged down into his abdominal cavity, and on account of his enfeebled condition could not be Id- catgd. Uncle Accuses Nephew. Michael and George Caldareila were taken before their uncle in the afternoon and he was questioned in their presence as to the causes of the affray. As well a+ he could he-told that the little boy was the one who shot him—the one who triel to kill him. He said that a fireman named Sulfivan told him that his brother, Luigs had offered the boy George $0 to kill Rim, and that: the whole trouble came from family disputes. The scene at the bedside of the wound- ed man was intensely dramatic. Frank €aldarella, _with his head and body swathed in bandages and breathing heav- ily, was aroused from an almost lethargic sleep. He gazec around for a moment cc two, and his eyes glanced in the direction of his two nephews, seated in chairs by his bedside. “Do you know who shot you?" quietly Continued on Page Four,
