Braun, Drunken Tail- or, Plunges After Cage That Doesn’t Stop. G. W. Braun, a taflor in the Emma Spreckels building, signaled the elevator to stop on one of its down trips last night and when it did not do so, he wrenched open the door of the shaft and fell three stories on top of the descend- ing cage. He was uninjured. In the ambulance that took him to the Emergency Hospital, Braun, who was suppcsed to be serlously hurt, fought and struggled like a maniac with Stew- ard Snyder. He was put to bed and later Dr. Herzog questioned his sanity. Braun was suffering from delirtum tre- mens, according to the diagnosis, and had the hallucination that he was mak- ing $1800 a day. —_l e Doctor—Madam, 1 can never cure you of this throat trouble if you don't stop ta¥king.

Information coming from an authori- | tative source has just brought to light | the fact, supposed to be carefuily | guarded, that E. H. Harriman is pr | paring to recoup his loss of freight that | has been allotted the Santa Fe from Pacific Mail steamships in San Fran- cisco. Harimaf, with the co-operation | of H. E. Huntington, s preparing to | build at San Pedro, in the southern part | of the State, quays, docks and ware- | houses for the accommodation of steam- | ships to ply between San Pedro, the Ha- waiian dslands, Japanese, Chinese and | Philippine ports. | Not only will this line offset the ap- portionment of freight that Harriman has been compelled to concede to the | Santa-Fe on every third steamship of the Pacific Mail line that arrives in San | Francisco, but it will offset the Oriental | traffic gained by J. J. Hill for the Great Northern and Northern Pacific at Seattle and Tacoma. In addition it will mean | the upbuilding of San Pedro as one of the Pacific Coast ports and add another | factor in the commercial progress of | California. [ The United States is building a large breakwater at the harbor of San Pedro. \In addition, the Pacific Electric Com- pany, which Is owned by. H. E. Huntirg- ton, has been since last Sunday runaing | cars between Los Angeles and East San Pedro wharf by way of the Long Beach | line to Dominguez. At this wharf the boats of the Wil- | mington Transportation Company from | Catalina Island land their passengers at the same place as does the Southern Pa- cific. Huntington has also a second line, the | Los Angeles Interurban, entering San | Pedro, which is a narow gauge road and | taps the surrounding country of Gar- dena, Hermosa and McKinley Home. LINES CO-OPERATE. ‘With the opening of the new line, | which is of standard guage, it was necessary to builds a double track trestle across San Pedro Bay and do a consid- erable amount of expensive work. Also | it meant the reconstruction of the South- ern Pacific terminals, the result being that the Southern Pacific and the Pacific Electric Company were jointly inter- ested The work was done by the use of Hariman's steam shovels, pile drivers, cars and locometives and the work is still going on, although the Pacific Elec- tric road, which makes the fastest time between Los Apgeles and East San Pe- dro wharf, is already running its cars. The selection of a steamship line to enter San Pedro will give routing to frelght over a railroad of the stoci of | which Hariman owns over 30 per cent. | Routing can be made by way of Salt Lake, which is_shorter by fifty miles to the coast than®by way of Ogden. The steamship line to be selected will, with little doubt, be the Toyo Kisen-Kaisha, which operated the America Maru, Nip- | pon Maru and Hongkong Maru into San Francisco before the breaking out of the Russo-Japanese war. ‘Within a short time Harriman is to make a visit to Japan. The object of this trip will be to enter into negotia- tions looking to the completion of ar- rangements with the Japanese line to handle the shipping bound for the United States by way of San Pedro. INVOLVES OTHERS. The land lying’ west of San Pedro and westerly toward Point Fermen has been filled. in and is the site for the ware- | houses of the new steamship company. The improvements under way are to cost a great deal of money and work will be rushed to bring about an early comple- tion, At present unusual activity is ap- parent in the construction of a line to Point Fermen, which is opposite the breakwater that is being built by the SRR RS Government.

Dunn, said to be a prominent of- ficial of the Pacific Mail Steamship Com: pany at Honolulu, began his celebration of the Fourth of July in lvely style, and by the time daylight of the fifth had dawned he had had several fights and acquired a state of mind that verged upon what is commonly called the d. t's. The first encounter took| place in the office of the Occidental Ho- tel, where he and his family are stay- ing. In the melee it took one porter and two outsiders to effectually subdue the pugnacious/Mr. Dunn. i After his bout Dunn left the hotel | and, still thirsting for gore, became in- volved with two bootblacks at Sutter and Montgomery streets. They were just going to work. After being pum- meled by the shine artists Mr. Dunn is reported to have fled up Market street, | bumping into early morning pedestri- | ans and knocking others out of his path. Tiring of this exercise, he later return- | ed to the hotel, bearing sundry cuts and | bruises as Souvenirs of his affrays, then | noisily went to his room. There he Wenli to bed and late last night was sending | out bellboys for drugs. Dunn arrived at the hotel on the first of July. Although from Honolulu, he registered as from this ci He was assigned to rooms 91 and 93 and noth- | ing was heard from him until the night | of the Fourth. The pyrotechnical dis- play bred emulation and Dunn was fre- | quently noticed making his way to the bar. An early algrm of fire was turned in on the morning of the fifth, and Dunn, .with many other guests, turned out to see the blaze. He was minus his shirt and collar and on his return his condition was first noticed. The hotel | porter, Tony, attempted to persuade him | to go to his room quietly, but he turned | on Tony, and now a pair of trousers will | be one of the items of his bill when it Is | presented. Two passers-by, attracted | by the struggle, responded, .and after | subduing the crazed man, allowed him | to depart. Then Dunn began his sen- | sational flight through the city’s streets. - = terials for the construction of the break- water. The developments in the south have in- volved smaller companies in war. The Salt Lake road, which owns the Ter- minal Island side of the harbor, operates a corporation under the name of the Crescent Wharf and Warehouse Com- pany. For many years the towage of sailing vessels has been done exclusively by the Bannings, but the new company is about to enter the fleld. It has se- cured the tug Hercules, which was for- merly used by the Shipowners’ and Mer- chants’ Red Stack Line in this city. - Anticipating this move, the Bannings have chartered two additional tugboats, the Sea Witch at San Pedro and the Liberty, which is being overhauled here, both having been under charter by the Red Stack Line. This gives the nings three boats to the company's onhe, but many are anxiously awaiting the re- sults of the rivalry. —_———— The Knowles shop is printing swell things just as before. 24 Second st., near Market. * —_———— “Liberty Punch” Has Bad Effect. ‘The “liberty punch” which Mr. Mich- ael Coughilin imbibed on the glorfous Fourth proved such a load for him to carry that he was arrested by Patrol- man John Ryan of the Southern station : vesterday afternoon.
