WILL CONFER HERE. | It is believed that the officials of the | road will hold a conference here in regard | to future operations In the north. That | the Santa Fe purposes to soon begin | buflding down the coast is evidenced in the fact that its agents here are engag- | ing about 2000 laborers, whom, it is said, will soon be sent north by rail and dis-| tributed along the route of the proposed | new road, surveys for which have al-| ready been made. Attached to the same train brought Manager Wells to the city was a | private car in which were two powerful | factors in the financiering of the affairs of the Santa Fe road. They are Directors H. R. Duval of New York and C. 8. Glee: of Topeka. The latter gentleman really | represents the Cheney & Ames estate | block of stock in the company. Duval is| | accompanied by his son, R. G. Duval, and | W. R. Burnham, a retired merchant of Norwich, is also one of the party. The gentlemen stated last evening at the Palace that their visit to San cisco on the eve of President Ripley's re- | turn from Eureka carried with it no par- ticular significance. They had been look- ing over the road in the south, and while at Phoenix had decided to make a short visit to this city. General Manager Kruttschnitt, Freight Traffic Manager Sproule of the Southern Pacific and President Barber and Generai Manager Graves of the Diamond Match Company yesterday held a conference in the railroad building regarding the latter company's road, which it is now building out of Chico, and future traffic rates for the match company’s eastbound product. To-day President Barber and other of- ficlals of the Diamond Match Company will go to Chico in a special car to in- spect the company’s properties. The rails for the new road are expected here in a few days. Ross Cline of the Wabash road arrived here yesterday from Los Angeles on a tour of inspection, which will carry him as far north as Seattle. T. D. Connelly, Pacific Coast freight agent of the Texas and Pacific, arrived from Los Angeles yesterday. ———————— DANCING CHILDREN GIVE DELIGHT TO LITTLE TOTS “Babes in the Wood” Draws Enthusi- astic Applause at the Alham- bra Theater. Fifty little pupils of Mr. and Mrs. Wil- Ham J. O'Brien’s dancing school in span- gled skirts and filmy wings presented the children’s opera, “Babes in the Wood," at the Alhambra yesterday afternoon be- fore a happy audience of little boys and girls.

B B3 Miss Phoebe Prior Dies in Agony With Symptoms of Poisoning. FTER having partakén of a bowl of clam chowder at a local res- taurant last Sunday afternoon Miss Phoebe Bellinda Prior went home in good spirits and On Monday forenoon she was taken with severe pains and vomiting, and at 4 o'clock yesterddy morning passed away after five days and nights of terrible agony. Miss Prior was a daughter of Philip Prior, principal of the Burnett school. She possessed rare musical accomplish- ments. It was at the Hoover College | she became acquainted with Dr. Frank | L. Martin, an osteopath, who'has an office at 234 Post street, and who par- took of the clam chowder with her. When the young woman was taken sick siue told her father that she believed that the clam chowder was the cause of it. She had severe abdominal pains and was unable to get a wink of sleep. On Thursday at her request Dr. Martin was sent for and gave her a massage treatment, which refieved her somewhat for the time being. But she soon be- came rapidly worse jana Dr. F. A. Rinne of the Callaghan building was sum- moned last Friday nignt. He adminis- tered medicines that soothed her pains temporarily. He was again called at half-past 3 o'cloek yesterday morning, but could not assist her, and she died | at 4 o'clock. Dr. Rinne reported the case to the ‘('ur'nwr. and the body was taken to the Morgue, where a post-mortem natiop by Auto Bacigalupi revealec exami- y Surgeon Luigi D. that death had been used by abdominal dropsy and submu- »us hemorrhage of the stomach and intestines. No traces of ptomaines were found, and the stomach was sent to the city chemist for microscopical examina- Dr. Rinne says that all the symp- toms were of ptomaine poisoning. Dr. FRANCISCO CALL, fUNDAY, MAY 17, 1903, HUSBANDS BEAT THEIR SPOUSES Charles Husky Breaks Cuspidor on Sick Wife’'s Head. Edward Riley Drags Better Half Into Street by Hsr Hair. The frequency of cases of Tusbands beating and abusing their wives in the Police Courts is causing comment among the Judges and there is a general wish that the whipping post was in operation for such offenders, for if the husbands are punished by being sent to jail the wives and children are the real sufferers. Charles Husky is a pronounced speci- men of the kind. He lives at 162% Clara street and on Friday night he went home in an Intoxicated condition. A baby had been born to his wife a few days ago and because she had no money to give him to buy more drink he threw a cuspidor at her, which struck her on the head, in- flicting an ugly wound. He took a revol- ver to sell for money to buy drink and while negotiating for its sale he was ar- rested by Policeman J. Lynch on a charge of disturbing the peace. He was released on $10 bail, but when he appeared before Police Judge Fritz yesterday and the Judge was notified of what he had done to his wife he ordered him into custody and increased his bail to $500 bonds till his wife could be able to be In cdurt, -when a more serfous charge will be pre- ferred against him. Edward J. Riley is another specimen. He is a former policeman ‘known as “Box-car Riley.” His wife, Catherine, secured a warrant from Police Judge Mo- gan yesterday for his arrest on a charge of battery. She and her 3-year-old child had been living for two weeks with Ri- ley’s mother at 130% Fern avenue and on Friday night Riley struck her, knocking her down, and dragged her out of the house by the hair. The child was also thrown into the street.. A crowd collect- ed and Policemen Owens and StelZner ap- peared. A woman who lives at 1417A Post street took:pity.on the mother: and child and allowéd them to slup in her house all night. Yesterday morning Mrs‘ Riley went to police headquarters with her child and was advised to swear out a warrant for her husband’s arrest, and Secretary White of the California Society for the Preven- tion of Cruelty to Children will meantime look after her and her child. Her younger child is with Mrs. Riley’s mother in Oak- land. Mrs. Riley said she had been mar- ried five years and Riley had failed to support her or the children. Mrs. Mary E. Getchell of 667- Clemeptina street secured a warrant from Judgé Mo- | gan yesterday for the arrest of her di- vorced husband, James F. Getchell, on a charge of disturbing the peace. She sald she had been divorced from Getchell six months ago, owing to the fact that he would not contribute to the support of her nine children. He called upon her on Thursday night and demanded money from her, as he is too lazy to work. He again called on Friday night, renewed | his demand and ralsed a disturbance. —_——— A CHANGE IN THE SMITH ®REMIER AGENCY Durphy & chkermln have recently ar- rived in this city from New York and have rented the store for many years occu- pied by Bullock & Jones, 105 Mgntgomery streo!_ They have taken over the Smith ‘Typewriter ngvncy. =0 long and firm, with whom Mr, A.

KENTUCKY WANTG MILLION DOLLARS Pacific Company for Taxes. The full details of the suit brought by the State ofgKentucky against the South- ern cific Company for about $1,000,000, clai to be due as taxes on the per- sonality of the defendant, have just| rezched this city. company's railroads. The action is brought to enforce the collection of taxes upon the company's holdings. The cdbm- pany is known to own $67,000,000 of stock practically the latter's whole capitaliza- tion, besides more than half of the Pa- cific stock of $10,500,000. The Southern Pacific Company is capitalized at $300,000,000, though no attempt is made to tax this property. This action is, in an indiréet way, the result of the recent battle over the con- trol of the Southern Pacific Company fought by the Keene and Harriman in- terests in the United States Rentucky and Ohilo. tions existing under the tucky the Southern Pacific is the most unique. It is a holding company onty— not a railroad company, but an owner and controller of railroad and steamship com- panies. The records of the State of Ken- tucky do not show another corporation, which, like the-Southern Pacific, has its official residence within its borders.. By a special act of the Legislature in 188+ the Southern Pacific €ompany came into legal existence in the State of Ken- tucky and it was then given a charter of extraordinary powers in the way of hold- ing various kinds of railroad and steam- ship properties and in operating them. Because of these extraordinary powers accerded to the Southern Pacific Com- pany under its charter, Revenue Agent W. L. Weller Jr. of the State of Ken- tucky feels that the Southern Pacific Ccmpany should be made to pay taxes upor. the personality yhich enjoys pro- tection under such a charter. The suit was brought by Major D. W. Saunders and W. B. Thomas, who repre- sent Revenue Agent Weller. While it has been a matter of record all along that the Southern Pacific Company’s official home | is in Kentucky, the great legal struggle waged some months ago called the atten- tion of the officials of that State to this fact Southern Pacific Company railroaa officials admitted this fact on the stand and this will be used with telling effect when the case comes up. The State of- ficlals of Kentucky who will conduct the case apear confident of ultimate victory. "~ Some years ago the late ex-Mayor Sutro went to Kentucky, endeavoring to secure a repeal of the Southern Pacific Com- pany's charter. Governor Goebel, who at that time represented Kenton County, Ky., in the State Senate, led the fight for Mr. Sutro. The Southern Pacific Company, however, proved too strong and the char- ter was undisturbed. —_—— Accused of Burglary.
