Indee is extraordinary when one’'s own family prophesy evil good can be, but yet, strange as it may seem, not only the sister of the new Pope. but her brother and many of the other mem- bers of the family besides have given utterance to words that have added wvastly to the mystery of the misery and growing unhappiness that is s:,'zd to be settling heavily upon His Holiness. Strangest of all, they speak authoritatively, without malice, but in deepest compassion, and their words are being given credence far and wide, more particularly as ius X has been adding equally strange confirmation. He speaks continuously of the many things in his life that he had treasured that are now gone from him forever, and in this way the boyhood, the early manhood, the later ambition, the inner life of His Holiness is brought forth more dramatically than it could be in any other way. That is how Mr. I. Cochrane has been able to write the remarkable article for the next Sunday Call, which, with the pictures from Rome, occupies a full page. It is the most valuable article about the new Pope that has yet been secured anywhere. . Indeed, it is just such features as the above that has given journal- istic excellence to the Sunday Call's Magazine Section, which is already far in the lead in a literary way.

MAYOR STANDS FOR THE CITY Makes Objections Before the United States Engineers. Opposes Railroad’s Plans to Cut Down Channel to Lake Merritt. 2l g Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Sept. 5. Mayor Warren Olney made a strong protest to-day before the United States Board of Harbor Line Engineers against the granting of the Southern Pacific Com- pany’s application to fill all but 200 feet of its First and Seventh street railroad | trestles across the north arm of the estu- | ary. His Honor declared that to change | the pierhead and bulkhead lines as con- templated would encroach upon the 1600 feet of frontage along the north arm, | would impair the tidal flow into Lake | Merritt and would be a taking of mu- nicipal property. He strongly objected to | the proposed embankments on each side | of the estuary, which he claimed would | be permanent obstructions. | Colonel H. H. Heuer, a member of the board, contended that the north arm of the estuary should not have been includ- | ed in the harbor boundaries. This remark raised the Mayor's ire and he vigorously combated it. The Mayor said the reduction of the | width of the tide channel ms proposed by | the bullding of the embankments at the | trestles would cause a rapid shoaling in | the East Oakland basin, east of the drawbridges, and would retard harbor | improvements. He was unaltérably op- | posed to any proposition that would mean linjury to any of the city’s holdings along the north arm. J. H. Wallace, engineer of the main- tenance and w department of the Southern Pacific Company, said his com- pany would erect drawbridges across the | channel if the fill were made. A. D. Shephard, for the Oakland Water Front Company, opposed the filling at the estuary arm, but wanted to know wheth. | er the Mayor would agree to a compro- mise with the railroad people by which a channel 5% feet wide should be left. Mayor Olney replied that he stood op- posed to any reduction of the width at all. After the Mayor had rpquested that all { of the protests made in Oakland be in- corporated originally filed, the session The Harbor Board, it is be- 1 from > trend of the engineers’ remarks to-day, will give favorable re- port on the c npany’s petition to the Secretary of War when the documents | are forwarded to that officlal. It is that the 500-foot channel instead 20-foot inlet will be recommended. e | POPULAR SCHEEL CONCERTS AT MECHANICS' PAVILION | Great Composers Will Ba Repre- | sented in Programme and the Prices Will Be Low.

Delmas and A. A. Moore in an argument lasting all day, Delmas won his right to maintain the suit of Ger- trude Johnson against the Southern Pa- cific Company for 325,000 damages, which she alleges she sustained by being thrown from the step of a car at Niles by its moving forward without warning. The case has been on for several days and the evidence for the girl has been presented to the jury. The railroad be- tention been upheld. He moved to have Ilhe case dismissed upon the ground that a judgment had already been rendered and that the plaintiff was barred from further action. | The argument necessitated a review of | all the proceedings in the case and the was unearthed and admitted by Judge Ogden, but the time for its correction, he held, had gone by. Delmas occupied most of the day. Apparently the matter was in the bal- ance up to the final rendering of the de- cision by the court and attracted the at- tention of the legal fraternity about the Courthouse. Judge Ogden's decision in effect was that, although a judgment had been rendered, it was not a judgment on the merits of the case, and that while {such a judgment should not have been rendered, it having been given at the re- quest of the plaintiff in the case, without prejudice, she was now entitled to begin her action anew and have its merits passed upon.

While nothing definite was decided upon the merchants and lawyers made prepa- raglons to sue out an injunction if ihe City Trustees moved to grant the fran- chises without heeding the application signed by nearly 700 voters asking that the sreferendum be resorted to before de- clsive action is taken. Since the Southern Paeific Company, through General Manager Julius Krutt- schnitt, refused yesterday to accept the franchises on the twenty-five-year terms offered by the municipal legislators, there is an inclination on the part of three members of the Board of City Trustees— President J. F. Forderer, B. E. Combs and C. J. Hammond—to submit the mat- ter of the disposition of the franchises to the voters. The ordinances granting the Southern Pacific the franchises for twen- ty-five years will come up for the second reading at the meeting of the City Trus- tees Tuesday night, but in view of the stand taken by the corporation it is not likely that any decisive action will be taken. e e—— McGRATH MUST ANSWER FOR DEATH OF GILLIGAN SAN RAFAEL, Sept. 5.—Francis H.
