Mr. Hewitt, in ad- dressing the committee, spoke of the grandeur of the scheme, holding that the {llumination would surpass all previous electrical displays in San Francisco. The executive committee decided to ad- vertise for proposals under the specifica- tions prepared by Mr. Hewitt. Proposals for extending the illumination from Sec- ond street to the ferry will also be con- sidered. In the collection of money to defray the expense of the encampment, the finance committee is meeting with a fair degree of success. Colonel F. E. Beck, Colonel C. Mason Kinne and Theodore B.

A large crowd attended the celebration and there was much enthusiasm and jollification, as | it is generally believed that to-day’s event | marks the beginning of a network of | electric roads that will radiate from San | Jose in every direction. | No time will be lost in the construction | of the road. The strains of the “Star Spangled Banner,” which ended the cere- monies, had hardly died away before small army of track layers had taken up the work and were rapidly laying rails in the direction of Saratoga. It is ex- pected the road will be completed by Oc- | tober 1 and opened for traffic. | Contractor George W. Elder of San Francisco has had his men at work just | one month and the grading is ready for | the ties and rafis for eleven miles. That brings the workmen within one mile.of | Saratoga. From Saratoga to Los Gatos | is five miles and work on that branch | will be taken up at once. | Invitations had been sent out for to-| day's celebration and most of the prom- inent residents of the city and county | were present. A number of San Francisco | rallroad men were also here. A stand, which was handsomely decorated with the national colors, had been erected for the iInvited guests. A band furnished | music.

The building of the road commenced to-day brings the promise | of a great future for this county and is the | beginning of a movement which shall not cease | until within the confines of the county there i not a town, village or crossroad without a | line leading to your county seat. Then and only then will we realize the splendid promise God gave to this great valley, At the close of his remarks Mr. Elder presented Mr. Granger, the general man- ager of the road, with a silver spike. In accepting the spike Mr. Granger gave a short history of the conception of the road. He said that a year ago while rid- had seen the great opportunity for a road and at once set about to secure the cap- for such an enterprise. Everything to be used in the road would be of the best, Mr. Granger said, and when in oper- ation there would be no finer road in the United States than the Los Gatos and 8an Jose electric line. The present line was only the forerunner of what might be MISS JENNIE GUSTAFSON IS CROWNED THE QUEEN Swedish Nntidha] Day-Celebution Is Held at Shell Mound Park.

It is very fortunate that the cyes of Mr. Granger rested upon this valley and that he decided to butld Man, this rafllway. 1 wish to congratulate r Granger and his associates on baving re to engage in this enterprise.

He has had the confidence and energy to put capltal in this enterprise, and 1 hope that Mr. Rea may be rewarded in his efforts to upbuild the in- terests of the county. Hayes here spoke of the many advan- | tages the road would bring to San Jose. He hoped it was but the beginning of mcre roads. He sald he was informed that if the road was successful it would be only a matter of time when the county from north to south, east to west, will be tapped by electric lines, and that eventually the company would run a line into the Big Basin to open up that won- derful region of natural scenery and wealth.

EMMA LORING Daughter Files a Petition for Letters of Administration Upon Her Mother’s Estate. , Investigation into the death of Mrs. Emma K. Loring, which occurred some time ago and “which was not discovered until late Tuesday afternoon, seems im- possible. The body is in such an ad- vanced stage of decomposition that either an autopsy or an analysis is beyond ques- tion. There seems to be little doubt, how- ever, that the woman died of natural causes. The story of the eccentric woman's life and death has been told. it is probable that she was seized with a convulsion and that old age hastened the end. Emma May Attenhorough, daughter of Mrs. Loring, filed a petition for letters of administration upon her mother's estate yesterday. In the petition it jis stated that the estate of the deceased ts worth somewhere in the neighborhood of $13,000 and consists of realty in Oakland and this city, jewels and cash in bank. The petitioner states that she is the only heir of the deceased. ——————— - Defaulting Collector Wanted. Elmore C.

He said there was no other community so wealthy and prosperous as the Santa | Clara Valley, which produced annually crops worth $15,000,00. He was glad to see the road under way and wanted more of them buiit. There was a greater San Jose and greater Santa Clara Valley in the fu- ture and a network of electric lines will be required. A selection by the band closed the celebration. The Los Gatos and San Jose Interurban Railway is the result of the work of James W. Rea and F. S. Granger. It was through their efforts that Eastern capi- talists were induced to invest their money | in the project. Mr. Rea especially has | been a prime mover in the matter, and has put his own money in the enterprise to get it in such shape as to attract out- side capital, and it was due solely to his efforts that the road.was finally got un- der way. The road is’capitalized at $2,000,- 000. Bonds to the amount of $500,000 have been taken by the Germania Trust Com- pany of St. Louis. The officers of the company are as follows: James W.

AGED MAN SENDS BULLET CRASHING THROUGH HEAD Denis Zoechi, While Suffering From Melancholia, Ends His Own Existence. While suffering from melanchclia in- duced by old age and illness Denis Zocchi placed the muzzle of a revolver to his right temple and sent a bullet crashing into hts brain yesterday. The tragedy occurred some time early in the afternoon in the residence of the deceased at 15 Union place.

About 3:30 o'clock the young man upon returning from work had oc- casion to go into the kitchen and was horrified to find his father lying on the floor in a pool of blood. A pistol lying by his side and a gaping wound in the head mutely testified to the cause of death. A note was found on the table, addressed to his sons, in which the writer begged forgiveness for his rash act and stated that he could not bear the torment longer. He made a request that his body be bur- ied alongside his wife and bequeathed his | derstood that y to bis two boys. The unfortunate man was aged 823 years and was a native of Switzerland.
