With her when she passei away were her husband, Leon Esmoil, with whom she was residing quietly in Alameda when sickness overtook her. Mrs. Esmoil was the adopted daughter of Llewellyn Williams, a wealthy San Jese man, who died several years ago. She was once a great beauty and moved in the best circles of the Garden City. Fifteen years ago she married Auzerais, an erratic Frenchman of good family, who had settled in Santa Clara County.

It was resolved that everything possible should be done to pro- tect local interests It was erted by representatives of the Southern Pacific Company who were present that a supposed opposition to Sen- ator Perkins' proposal that the Govern- ment charter transperts was having a prejudicial effect on San Francisco's in- terests at the national capital. In order that the assembled representatives of local commercial interests might fully un- derstand the situation the following tel- egram, which was unofficlally stated to have been received from President E. H. Harriman of the Southern Pacific, Wy introduced: ‘The Senate Military Committee has reported the army appropriation bill without amendment permitting the Government to charter —army transports, introduced by Senmator Perkins and trongly approved by the Secretary of War. It s said that the feeling In San Francisco was opposed to this amendment. This must arise from a misunderstanding of the importance to the commercial interests of San Francisco that A transport service should be conducted by pri- vate individuals rather than committees. The failure to have the amendment of Senator Perking adopted means a loss of transporta- tion siness to San Francisco, as the com- mercial business will go to the northern ports because the San Francisco line will be re- stricted go committee business only.
