Storms and the fury of the seas have, been playing havoc in the vicinity of Sutro Baths. Serious injury has been caused to the breakwater which forms a protection to the structure. In order to protect the baths from the beating of the breakers Mrs. Emma L. Merritt, executrix of the will of the late Adolph Sutro, filed a petition yesterday asking permission of the court to expend $30,000 from the funds of the estate to repair the breakwater, which the recent storms have undermined. Mrs. Merritt urges that unless it is soon repaired immeasurable damage will be done to the baths. Speaking of the damage last night, A. O. Harrison, manager of the baths, said: ““The object is to repair the breakwater as a precaution. It is true that a year ago the rallroad leading from the quarry at the back of the baths was injured by the storms, and the step taken by Mrs. Merritt has been found necessary as a protection, though so far there has been no actual damage done the baths.” GROOM, THE HATTER, 906 Market street, between Stockton snd Pow- ell.

Henri Pantine, a waiter employed at the Hotel St. I'rancis. occupies a celi at the Central gmergency Hospital. a raving maniac. Yesterday afternoon, while the culinary department of the big hostelry was preparing delicacies for its hungry patrons, Pantine sudden- ly cast aslde his tray, und, assuming a posing position in the corridor lead- ing from the hotel kitchen to the gen- tlemen's grill, remained there for the better part of two hours. His living rpicture stunt finally at- tracted the attention of other members of the waiter corps, who summoned House Detective Hershey, and the lat- ter, on the advice of Dr. Washington Dodge, called in the police. When the police arrived and attempt- ed to shake up the apparently torpid brain of the rigid waiter he suddenly responded to the muscalar efforts of the officers and begar expectorating in all directions, causing the crowd about him to flee te safety. Mackintoshes were finally brought into play, and, struggling desperately and still expec- torating, Pantine was hoisted .out of the hotel Lasement on a sidewalk ele- vator and conveyed in a patrol wagon to the hospital. Last night Pantine was again busily posing in his padded cell and frequently watering at the mouth as he called off orders to imaginary chefs and eyed his uttendants with a cunning look as they walked about shielded by umbrellas against a possible deluge from the pa- tient’s raouth. —————————— Thrown From Streetcar.

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,'THURSDAY, JUNE 15, 190: NEW MORTCACE (SANE FOR YEARS 10 BE DRAWN' IN AN ASYLUM / Western Pacific Company ' Sensational Story Told to Will Retire Authorized Is- sue of $50,000,000 Bonds CHANGE IN CONDITIONS Underwriting Syndicate Un- satisfied With Wording of ! the Original *Instrument (SF Bpecial Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, June 4.—It was admitted to-day by Gould iinterests that they have decided to withdraw the present Western Pacific mortgage and $50,000,000 5 per cent -year gold bond issue, authorized by the company, and substitute practically & new mortgage, which will provide bet- ter security for the bondholders. The original Western Pacific mortgage was drawn by Walter J. Barnett, presi- dent of the Western Pacific, under the supervision of Edward T. Jeffery, presi- dent of the Denver and Rio Grande. This was done about two years ago. Since that time the interests behind the great project of constructing 1260 miles of rail- road between Salt Lake City and San Francisco have seen the necessity of altering many of the original provisions. “We decided,” said Jeffery to-day, “to make amendments and additions which will make a firmer bond and better se- curity.” The Denver and Rio Grande guarantees the interest but not the principal of the ‘Western Pacific bonds. Jeffery said that this guarantee was not changed, nor had this matter any connection with the alter- ations to be made in the mortgages. The first mortgage was drawn up bx Gould lawyers, but the one to be substi- tuted was devised, in collaboration with Gould interests, by three law firms rep- resenting the underwriting syndicate, | among them being Guthrie, Cravath and | Henderson and Strong and Cadwalader. | The syndicate to take over the bonds is composed of Blair & Co., Willlam Salo- men & Co. and William A. Read & Co. It Was stated by representatives of the banking houses that the old mortgage had | been canceled and new bonds would be | issued to include certain necessary pro-| visions desired by the underwriting syn- dicate. The original document consisted | of thirty pages, whereas the new one I8 | more voluminous, comprising at least | fifty pages.
