T. Veitch & Bro. The contractors have already made ap- plication at the office of the Bullding Inspector for permission to begin the work of construction, and the exca- vations for the foundation will be be- gun in a few days. The plans for the first of the hospital buildings, which will be 120 by 45 feet in size, have been prepared by the architectural firm of Kendall, Taylor & Stevens, and the specifications pro- vide that the bullding shall cost $50,000. The hospital is to be built on the pa- vilion plan and after the first struc- ture is completed other buildings will be added as they become necessary. The Merritt Hospital was endowed by the late Samuel Merritt of this city and the fund for the erection of the buildings and the provision of equip- ment, about $400,000, is in the hands of a board of trustees. The property selected as the site for the new hospital is in one of the best locations for the purpose that could be found in the city, for it lies directly in the path of the current of pure ocean air that comes in through the Golden Gate, and the elevation of the land on which the buildings will be erected provides a view of the city and San Francisco Bay which is unexcelled The lot on which feet in size and fronts on Dwinelle and Thirty-fourth streets.

CONCT CALGHT WITH WORPHINE Officials of San Quentin Discover a Bold Plot to Smuggle Drugs to Prison THREE ARRESTS MADE San Franciscans Implicated in Scheme and a Further Inquiry Is to Be Made Speclal Dispatch to The Call. AN RAFAEL, July 12—Three men are in the county jail to-night charged with smuggling at San Quintin. To-day Dis- trict Attorney Boyd swore to a complaint charging Frederick Coulter and Antonio Mello with taking morphine into the prison. Warden Tompkins swore to a complaint charging Philip Rojas with carrying a letter out of the prison with- out his consent. Kor some time Warden Tompkins had ‘been under the impres- sion that narcotic drugs were coming into the prison through the convict steve- dore gang and the deck hands of the freight steamship Caroline, plying be- tween the prison and San Francisco. On Monday’ his suspicions were verified and the arrests followed. According to information in possession of the warden, Conviect Charles Coulter, a waiter in the econvict dining room. wrote two letters at different times to his brother, Frederick Coulter, of 424B Te- hama reet, San Francisco, them " Convict Norton, who works in the stevedore gang. gave the letters to Conviet Sallor May to give to Rojas to mail in San Francisco. Shipping Clerk James Gorman detected May with the | read and copied them and, re- sealing them, gave them back. Rojas received the letters and they reachea their destination. One letter requested Frederick Coulter to get a package at the postoffice ad- dressed to “Charles Roy,” purchase other artieles and deliver them at 65 Jackson street for Antonio Mello, a deck hand on the Caroline. On Monday, as the Caroline was being discharged, Shipping Clerk Gorman watched Saflor May closely and saw him place a_package behind a water barrel. Then Norton picked it up and, when searched, it was found secreted in his shirt. The package contalned morphine worth fully six dollars. When questioned, Convict Coulter denied any knowledge of the letters or morphine, while Convict letters, Norton denied handling the letters. Both | have been placed in the incorrigible cells. Convict May acknowledges handling the | letters and the drug. Shipping Clerk Gorman went to see Frederick Coulter yestérday. Coulter mistook Gorman for the deckhand and after a few sympathetic words from Gor- man, Coulter handed him a package of morphine. for his brother Charlie. When accused of handling the package of mor- phine and receiving a canary bird and | shoes for his services, Antonio Mello de- nied handling it. but sald he received the bird. Charles Coulter is serving a three years’ sentence from San Francisco for burg- lary. Both brothers and Norton are dope fiends. Rojas, when seen to-night, said that he was innocent and that he had not carried any letters from convicts. Sheriff Taylor brought Mello here yes- terday and Rojas and Coulter here to- day. - Sheriff Taylor has gone to San Francisco this evening to make further investigation. The penalty for smuggling is one to five years in the State Prison. Ed Ryan, serving a five-year térm from San Luis Obispo, who is employed as a cook at the residence of Super- intendent Riordan, was detected smug- gling opium to-day. The oplum was found in the soles of his shoes. ELABORATE ELECTRIC SYSTEM FOR CUBA Havana Central Railway Company Awards $5,000,000 Contract to Americans. NEW YORK, July 12.—The Havana Central Railway Company has awarded to a prominent electrical company con- tracts for tNe construction and equip- ment in Cuba of the largest electrie railway system ever initiated by Amer- ican interests outside of the United States.

About 125 miles will be constructed at first, invelving an expenditure of nearly $5,000,000. The road besides its passenger traffic will put on a freight service.

Steam turbines will be used, this being the first in- stance of such equipment being called for in the West Indies. The entire sys- tem is expected to be in operation within fifteen months.

PALO ALTO, July 12.—Peter Mullen and K. H. List have purchased 265 acres of the 2500-acre ranch belonging to Mrs. Romana L. M. de Boronda. This prop- erty is located four miles trom Palo Alto and adjoins the Hotaling ranch, which was recently sold to a Wisconsin syndi- cate. Both these ranches will be subdi- vided and sold as small farms. About 1000 acres just northeast of Palo Alto is also te be placed on the market in small holdings. There is an active demand for acreage in small tracts and the big ranches are becoming too valuable to be held for the old-style farming. while intensive culti- vation of the soil is coming mere and more into vogue. Large areas are being devoted to berrles and vegetables, which yield especially large crops. REDWOOD CITY, July 12—The an» | nouncement has been made here that a contract has been let to grade the roads in the vicinity of Portola and Woodside. With the comstruction of new roads a large tract of land will be subdivided and placed upon the market to be sold in small boldings. This decisiow of the pro- moters is welcome to every ome com- cerned in the development of San Mateo County. The district involved is one of the most picturesque in the county, but has long been Inaccessible, owing to badly constructed roads, and large reser- vations. The subdivision of property in this district will open it rapidly to set- tlement. | e ——— Eagles Act as Hosts.

AUGUSTA, Me., July 12.—A hearing was held to-day before Judge White- house in the Supreme Judicial Court to determine definitely how often Trux- tun Beale may be permitted to see his child, Walker Blaine Beale, in accord- ance with the spirit of a divorce granted Mrs. Beale eight years ago. Beale was formerly United States Minister to Persia and Mrs. Beale was - Harriet Blaine, youngest child of James G. Blaine. Both Mr. and Mrs. Beale were at the hearing, which lasted for lovonl hours in chambers. The Judge took the case under advisement and will give his decision later. There appears to be a mutual wish between Mr. and Mrs. Beale that the boy. who is nine years old, should be reared properly and both showed by their attitude that they dearly loved the child. Beale re- cently purchased a summer home om the east shore of Coboze Center Lak: and young Walker has spent some time there this season. He has always lav- ished princely gifts on his son and it is understood that last winter he gave the boy a $300,000 home in Washington. Last week he presented him with a gasoline launch and some handsome horses. —_———— Warren Detained at Honolulu.
