Nelson and Clifford C. Beatle will read with surprise the announement of their marriage to-day In San Francisco. Thelr engagement was an- nounced some months ago and the wed- ding was to have been an October event, but the groom having recently accepted a position with the Pacific Hardware and Steel Company in San Francisco which will necessitate an extended southern trip, the young people decided to make it a honeymoon tour and enjoy it together. The ceremony took place in the parlors of the Westminster Presbyterian Church, the pastor, Rev. Hugh Glichrist, of- ficiating. No one but the respective parents of the bride and groom had been taken into their confidence. Both Mr. and Mrs. Beatle are well | known in Oakland, the bride, a tall and | very attractive blonde, being the daughter | of Mr. and Mrs. M. Nelson and being an heiress in her own right to considerable | property. She is a most charming girl and enjoys unusual popularity in the so- clal set. Mr. Beatie's father, Walter C. Beatle, was at one time one of the foremost men in Oakland, being prominently connected with the Contra Costa Water Company. The senior Beatles now reside In San Francisco. Mr. Beatie, though still very oung, has made for himself an enviable position in the business world. | As soon as Mr. and Mrs. Beatie return | from their honeymoon trip they will make | their home in San Franeisco, whence they | will send the formal announcement of their marriage to the many friends they had originally planned to invite as guests to their wedding in October.

Lives of great men teach us by both their successes and their fallures, by their virtues and their faults. leo's virtues are personal. His kindness to those about him and his uniform gentleness and tact with his inferiors are proverbi: 1 we would have those to genuinely mourn our death let us remember that ‘’kind words can never die” and that gentleness and sympathy pay large dfvidends in friendships and at- tachments to make happy our lives. The spirit of humanity of Leo is apparent in all his writings—in his poems, essays and offi- clal papers. Through all there breathes a genuine love for his kind that ennobles him in our eyes and makes bis death a real loss to the world. His abstemious habits are well known. He has never given way to excess of any kind. And his days have been long In the land and his fight against death most glorlous because of his strong constitution, founded upon his temperate, self-denying life. His industry should be copied. The im- mense volume of work which he was enabled to accomplish, often laboring far into the night and up before daybreak, testifies to his marvelous genius for work. His loyalty to his church {s worthy of our emulation and his real plety may well be an example to us.

Continuous Flow of Eight Thousand Barrels an Hour Is Recorded. PSR sty POINT RICHMOND, July 19.—After many weeks of delay and speculation, the Standard Oil Company's pipe line, 280 miles long, between Bakersfleld and Point Richmond, is in operation. Oil began flowing into the refinery tanks here last night at 9 o’clock and has been flowing continuously since then, with the excep- tion of a short time this afternoon, at the rate of 8000 barrels an hour. The success of this enterprise is com- plete, according to the company's of- ficials, who to-day announced their con- fidence that the flow would continue un- interrupted now that the oil had run through the entire line. It was expected that the oil, which was started in January from Bakersfield, would reach Point Richmond in sixty or ninety days. As the days rolled into weeks and then into months and no oil ap- peared at this terminal, much apprehen- sion was felt that the long pipe line, con- structed at a cost of $3,000,000, would prove to be a failure. That fear, however, was not expressed publicly by the oil company people. In fact they declared their faith | in the work and sald it would be only a question of time when the fluld would reach its destination. Nevertheless the slow movement led the officlals to experiment with various schemes to accelerate the movement of the 2eavy combustible. Their last move, was to establish heating plants along the line. Now that the oil is running satis- factorily, those in charge say the auxil- jaries will be unnecessary and that the twenty-eight relay pumping stations in operation will be sufficient. They think it will not be necessary to add to the sta- tions now working, although two more may be installed. The cause of the long delay is laid to trouble in getting the ofl started in the new pipes. It is claimed by the officials that once the fluld does flow its course will not be checked and that the flow will be steadily maintained. They say that some delay was expected, but it was prolonged beyond the engineers’ cal- culations. Now that the line is in working order, the company proposes immediate enlarge- ment of its refining plant at Point Rich- mond. Additions to the stills and re- torts will be made and a large increase ! | | will be made in the force of men em- ployed. There are 70 men at pres- ent at the plant. Two large tank barges are loading oil at the cumpany'-} whart for foreign shipment. | The pipe line is 350 miles long, 230 miles | on the main run and seventy miles in branches. On the main line the pumping stations are ten miles apart. R s e BIG TRACT OF LAND PURCHASED BY SANTA FE | | | Company Controls Strip of Water Front From New Pier to Jud- son Iron Works. OAKLAND, July 19.—The recent pur- chase by the Santa Fe Company of the irregular piece of property extending from the new pler of the Oakland, San Fran- cisco and San Jose Railroad Company to the Judson Iron Works, and formerly owned by the Judson Company, gives the railroad company the right to fill in the water front as far out as the Government bulkhead, or in this instance nearly a mile from the present shore line. The tract of land purchased lies to the west of the Southern Pacific tracks, and is 290 feet east and west, and 275 feet on one side by 150 feet on the other. The Realty Syndicate will no doubt com- bine with the Santa Fe in making the fill in order to create dockage facilities. The roundhouse to be constructed at the Emeryville terminus of the Santa Fe will be as large as any on the Pacific Coast, and will exceed in size that of the Southern Pacific Company at West Oak- land. It will be constructed in the arc of a circle of 165 feet radius, with stalls 70 feet deep. The turntable will be 75 feet in diameter. At the west of the roundhouse a “Y" will be bullt, the point of which will run up Hubbard street to the racetrack, in order to facilitate the shipping of horses during the racing sea- son. | ———————— PLATT FAVORS ALDRICH FOR THE VICE PRESIDENCY Believes That the Outlook is Promis- ing for the Senator From Rhode Island.

Southern Pacific Company Plan Effective This Month in Oakland. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, | 1118 Broadway, July 19. Because of misunderstanding and lack | of information many of the Southern Pa- | gMic Company's employes at West Oak- | land, as well as in other parts of the| county, have been much perturbed over | the announcement that commencing this | month the company will pay wages and | salarles by check instead of by coin from | a paycar, as has been the practice since the company began business. | The men feared, and their fears were well-grounded, that they" would be com- | pelled to discount their pay checks with the merchants to cash them. .In West Oakland shopkeepers whose trade is heavy among the railroad men had an- | nounced that checks would be received, subject to a discount of 25 cents up to $50 and 50 cents above that amount. The murmurings went about further because it was said that banks in San Francisco, where the company has In- augurated the check payment scheme, were enforcing a discount. About $200.000 to $250,000 a month is paid out in Alameda County to railroad employes, the bulk of the money being disbursed in Oakland. With an eye to obviate just such com- plaints as have been started the Southern Pacific Company has arranged that the Oakland Bank of Savings shall be a local | depositary for the payment of all pay checks without discount. W. W. Garth- waite, cashier of that bank, announces | that the corparation has made all plans to handle the checks, and that easy methods of identification have been fixed. Members of families will be enabled to| cash the head of the household's checks, | and with little inconvenience. | Abandonment of paycar methods means not only a considerable financial saving to the railroad company, but removes all danger of large robbery and heavy loss in transportation of coln to the many | division pay points. ——————— ALASKAN CONTRACTOR IS ACCUSED OF FRAUD Charge Is Made That He Issued Checks to Which Signatures Had Been Forged.

The credit of the firm was consid- ered good, and when the checks purport- ing to be drawn by the firm were pre- sented for payment in San Francisco at the army vaymaster's office the signa- tures on two of them were found to be forgeries. These checks were indorsed, it is asserted by Beasley for the firm of Beasley & Burns. The Government has decided to hold Beasley responsible for the sum represented by the checks, which foot up about $7000. Beasley was found by the Marshals in South Africa, where he had been for two years engaged in oper- ating in mines.

Proctor, president of the Civil Service Commission, in which the latter criticized the administration of Smith during his term as Postmaster General. The main points to which Smith takes exception are Proctor's attack on the classification of persons at postoffices on the establishment of free delivery and the alleged “packing” of the rural free deliv- ery division of the department in antici- | pation of its classification. On the first point Smith says the law provides for classified postoffices when the receipts reach a fixed sum a year, and on the second point he states that the not the department, puts the clerks of the new free delivery offices into the classified service. ——————- NEW FEATURE IN FAIR CASE BROUGHT TO LIGHT PARIS, July 20—The papers to-day again devoted considerable space to the Fair case.
