SOME HUMOR IN SITUATIO application of the Southern Pacific almost a humorous one. It was for sion to lay a track upon the United north retaining wall. As it is this is just where the Western lald its tracks when it made its ernal move for a terminal ten go, and that Colonel Heuer did not heir tracks removed was only be- he had an idea at the back of his head that this was just what the Western Pacific wanted. “They've been trying to t me to order them off the Federal wall i upon State property,” he said ves- with a twinkle in his eye n to the little game. When I order them off it will be into space and not on er man’s land. And now the South- Pacific wants my permission to lay its tracks there. What do you think of that, eh? What do you thynk of that?” The Call representative thought ing, or expressed nothing of “that.” what the colonel thought was evident from his tone.

ALAMEDA, Jan. 16.—Activity on the part of agents to secure options on Bay | Farm Island realty, a great part of which is now owned by the E. B. and A. L. Stone Company, a concern closely | allled with the interests of the Western | Pacific, has led many to believe that | Bay Farm Island Is to be a terminal of the new transcontinental road. It is significant that the E. B. & A. L. Stone Company, which is now doing a big part of the grading of the Western Pacific, began to purchase Bay Farm Island land three years ago, when the Western Facific first began its secret { plans in California raflroading. " Most of the land standing in _the | name of the E. B. & A. L. Stone Com- pany is located in the easterly section of Bay ¥arm Island. The land which ! agents have been endeavoring to bond for purchase is located at the westerly end of the island and fronts directly on San Francisco Bay. Efforts have been | made to bond the large tract owned by | the estate of the late Amos McCartney. | Smaller owners of water-front property have also been approached, and Ralph Hamiin recently sought to obtain an | option on the nineteen acres owned by | H. W. Ellis, which is considered choice | water-frant realty. Hamlin is tender of the Bay Farm Island bridge, and it is thought that he may have been acting for other parties. e A S GOULD MEN BUY IN HAYWARDS. Villa Hotel Property May Become Rail- way Statiom.

The apportionment of representation is one delegate for every twenty-five club members. The executive committee of the organ- ization met at the Union League Club yesterday afternoon. There were pres- ent President Ferd K. Rule of Los An- geles, First Vice President Orrin S. Hen- derson of Stockton, Second Vice President | Thomas Rickard of Berkeley, Treasurer | Clifford Coggins, G. R. Lukens, J. Harry | Russell, Henry C. Dibble, C. W. Pendle- ton, General George Stone, chairman, | and J. Steppacher, assistant secretary of | the Republican State Committee, togeth- er with Frank. Mattison .and J. J. C. Leonard of Santa Cruz. P. J. Milliken of SBacramento was elect- | ed to the executive committee to fill the | vacancy caused by the resignation of R. | M. Richardson. J. Harry Russell of | Stockton was elected assistant secretary, a vacancy in that office having been caused by the death of L. B. Wilson. | At the Sacramento convention in 1904 Santa Cruz was selected as the place for holding the convention in May, 1806, but no day of the month was designated. | Yesterday Henry C. Dibble moved that | Monday, May 14, and Tuesday, May 15, be the time. The motion prevailed. “The president and secretary were directed to issue the call for the convention. WHAT SANTA (RUZ WILL DO. Frank Mattison and J. J. C. Leonard, responding to suggestions from President Rule, said Santa Cruz would providey everything requested by the committee. Mr. Leonard said: “As for a place of | meeting you can have the armory up- town; the pavilion on the beach, where | the Republican convention last year was held, and which will accommodate 8K delegates, or the hall of the Sea Beach Hotel, which will seat 800. The hotel | charges will be $3 a day.at the Sea Beach and $2 50 a day at the St. George. Santa Cruz will provide the music and the halls without expense to the convention.” Mr. Mattison also remarked that Santa Cruz would do all that was desired for the comfort and convenience of the dele- | gates. Orrin S. Henderson, Clifford Coggins | and Henry C. Dibble were appointed a | committee on transportation. In due time the railroads will announce the ex- cursion rate. General Stone's views as to the form of club organization were invited. He suggested that the president and secre- tary should adopt the method recom- mended by J. Hampton Moore, president of the National League of Republican Clubs. A motion to that effect prevailed. Attentlon was called to the fact that the national convention in Philadelphia next June would celebrate the golden ju- bilee of the Republican party. The dele- gates would assemble in the hall where the first national Republican convention was held on June 17, 18 and 19, 185. SAVAGE STEALS A MARCH. The surprise of the executive commit- tes's meeting was the announcement of President Rule that Willlam H. Savage, commander of the Los Angeles Army and Navy Republican League, had secured & State charter for the Los Angeles camp; which thus became an incorporated State institution. The Army and Navy Leagues of San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose and Sacramento will be somewhat astonished when they realize that they have been outflanked and outgeneraled by the in- trepid Savage, but the fact is obvious that Savage possesses the State charter, and ail the camps outside of Los Angeles are subordinate to the duly incorporated order. President Rule was authorized to ap- point three members of the Army and Navy Republican League to the executive committee of the State League of Clubs, such appointment to be subject to the approval of the convention at Santa Cruz. On motion of E. I. Wolfe the president was authorized to appoint a committee of three to secure speakers of national #nd State renown to address the Santa Cruz convention. The chalr eppointed E. I. Wolfe, Orrin 8. Henderson, Thomas Rickard and General George Stone to constitute the committee. It was the sense of the executive body that the committee should form a pro- gramme of exercises for each session of the convention, and should certainly in- vite J. Hampton Moore to come to Cali- fornia next May and address his fellow Eepublicans. Senator Lukens moved that the past presidents of the State League be added to the executive committee. The motion wae amended providing that such recom- mendation be made to the conventlon, and the motion as amended was carried. —_—————— You order your own personal supply ¢ “bad luck” day by day.

Enos was arrested yesterday by Detectives Whitaker and Bell and booked at the City Prison on a war- rant cherging him with grand larceny. The complaining witness is J. H. Davies of the House. Davies on Decem- ber 30 wefit into W. M. Vanderford's barber shop at 767 Market strcet and was shaved by Enos. After being shaved Davies missed his dlamond stud and complained to Enos and Vander- ford, but Enos denied knowing any- thing about it. Enos gave up his job et the shop a few days later and went to Suisun, where it is alleged he put up the dlamond stud to be raffled. Van- derford also accuses Enos of stealing articles from the shop. —_—_—-— & rent that the purchase has been made on the Western Pacific Rallway Com- pany’s account. The property faces Castro street, near B, and runs back to Watkins street, through which thoroughfare it is sald the railway purposes to run its tracks. In that event the Villa site would be an ideal station location. Toffelmeler said he intended to build flats on the place. The announced sell- ing price is $15,000. The foreman has explained to inquiring friends that he recently made & turn in San Leandro real estate and is investing for in- come purposes. On the other hand, the close relations between the Stone Com- pany and the Western Pacific furnish the basis for no end of discussion’ as to the transaction.

MAKES VISIT TO GRAND JURY Anonymous Letters From City Feat and Mr. Quill’s Trip ures of Scandal Ex-Sheriff Peter J. Curtis called yes- terday upon Edward H. Mitchell, fore- man of the Grand Jury. At the conclu- sion of a conversation that lasted ha!f an hour Curtis emerged from Mitchell's of- fice and sald that in accordance with his wish he had been notified by Mitchell to appear before the Grand Jury this after- noon at 8:30 o'clock at the City Hall. When Curtis entered Mitchell's office he was compelled to introduce himself to the Grand Jury’s foreman, and with this preliminary accomplished he went to the purpose of his visit. assured Mitchell that he would aid him in every way and declared that he courted the fullest investigation. Mitchell irformed Curtis that much of the matters that came before the Grand Jury for in- vestigation arose through the sensational- ism of some newspapers and that in the greater number of cases investigated the charges were proved without foundation. He told Curtis that the request for an investigation came from Sheriff O'Nefll He said that the matter was under in- {estigation by the Grand Jury Committee on Branch Jails, consisting of Robert S. Atkins, Albert M. Bender and Heary S. Russ, and that the committee would re- port to the main body this afternoon. “I have served this city and the people for the last six years in public capacity,” said the ex-Sheriff, “and this is a pretty late hour for the bringing of such charges. At no time has there been cause for an instnuation reflecting on me.” LANGDON NOT INFURMED. District Attorney Langdon appeared to be but little informed regarding the actions of the Grand Jury. According to his statement he had no knowledge yes- terday that the Grand Jury had met or was golng to meet soon, notwithstanding Foreman Mitchell's statement to Curtis that it was at the instance of the District Attorney that the meeting of the Grand Jury had been called. Sheriff Q'Neill was busy yesterday look- ing into matters connected with the post- mortem tempest that has been brewed around the head of his predecessor. He ordered Richard Gayner, bookkeeper at jail No. 1, on Broadway, to submit a list of the principal supplies listed as received during the last six months. Gay- nor reported fecords of recelpts as folr lows: Jail No. 1—Shoes, 40 pairs; horse blankets, one-half dozen: comforters, 'one-half dozen; mattresses, 288: blankets, 108 pairs, 36 pairs bought December 21. 5 Jall No. 2—Shoes, 228 pairs; blankets, 84 pairs and 80 single; shirts, 1 dozen; horse blankets, one-half dosen; one plush ' buggy robe, cost $10; prison cloth for trousers, 786 yards; prison flannel, 380 yards;|socks, nine dozen’ palrs. Jatl No. 8, women—Shoes, 72 pairs, 36 pairs purchased on December 16; blankets, 56 pafrs; quilts, 30. Sheriff O'Neill said that the invoice showed nothing like this quantity of goods on hand. He admitted that the prisoners were in the habit of selling new things given them and that most of the shoes might have been issued to prisoners just going out. He sald that with all the trousers material received there should be more of the striped pants on hand. He had found only two horse blankets In all, he said, and there was no plush buggy robe in sight. At jail No. 1, where six of the horse blankets had been ordered, there was but one ‘span of horses used. Of blankets only fifty-five pairs and thirty half blankets had been found, he sald. QUILL ONLY ONE MISSING. The Sheriff said he had learned that there had been a woman prisoner in No. 8 who was famous as a pastry cook and that favored outsiders had been iIn the habit of getting ples and cakes made by her at the prison. On Christmas day, he said, more than fifty of her cakes were given away through the matron. Two anonymous letters have been re- celved by the Sheriff and one by The Call, all evidently written by the same person, condemning the method of con- ducting the women's prison and being aimed especially at the devoted head of Mrs. McGrath, the retiring matron. The first and longest of these was recelved by O'Nelll four days after his election, and It sets forth many alleged irregu- larities and abuses at jall No. 8. The writer accuses Mrs. McGrath of ‘“run- ning” the institution and says that * woman should never be placed over wo- men.” ‘This letter is signed “A Mis- slonary.” The other one to the Sheriff bears the signature ‘A Christian Lady.” In the one to The Call the writer says she is a worker among fallen women. At the Sheriff's office it is thought Mrs. Cordelia Botkin may be the author of the missives. The Sheriff also says that two former fire engine horses are missing from their accustomed haunts at jalls 2 and 3 and that a monkey wrench mentioned in the invoice cannot be found. Ex- Superintendent Donnovan, ex-Com- missary Griffin, ex- Chiet Jailer Coyle and ex-Bookkeeper Wolfe, whom sensational! report had missing from the city, were all at the office of their former chief on Folsom street last night, ready to be interviewed on any phase of the soan- dal. They all sald that they had vio- The former Sheriff | lated no trust placed in them by Sheriff Curtls, that all goods receipted for had been received and that everything could be properly accounted for. All the books were on hand, they said. READS PAPERS ON STEAMER. Ex-Sheriff Curtis issued.the following formal statement last night: I have been preparing for the past month, and had all arrangements: made, to go to San Diego, as I told Sheriff O’'Neill and several of my friends. On Sunday morning I boarded steamer to go south, took the papers with me and did not open them until the steamer was under way to Diego. I then made up my mind that when the steamer reached Los An- geles I would come back immediately. I reached there at 4 o'clock and tock the Owl for San Franclsco at 5. On arriving at San Francisco 1 immediately rang up the District Attorney and told him that I was at his dis- , and was ready to assist him in un- earthing the alleged fraud. I then rang up the Mayor and the foreman of the Grand Jury. I called on the foreman of the Grand Jury this atternoon and asked for a full investigation. He stated that Sheriff O'Nelll had asked for a0 Investigation, but that it was usual for af- fairs of this kind to come through the Dis- trict Attorney, but that if I desired an inves- tigation they would take charge of the mat- ter. We then decided that I should appear before the Grand Jury to-morrow at 3 o'clock. In reference to the allegation that the office has been In the habit of receiving supplies that were short weight and of inferior quality, I wish to say that when I took office I se- lected men for the heads of the various de- partments whom T felt I could trust, and I have never had occasion to doubt thelr hon- esty. An insinuation has gone forth that per- haps some of the goods received under my ad- ministration “were short in weight, and 1 can only say that the weights were at all times passed upon by Superintendent J. J. Donovan or men under his direction, Commissary J. C. Griffin and Bookkeeper D. Wolfe.. I approved and signed the demands after they had passed through- their hands. Personally I could not ‘e expected to go out and welgh all the sup- plies received. I have relied on the honesty of the-men under me, and I-have every reason to belleve that they have fulfilied the obliga- tions intrusted to them. I never had any personal dealings with the contractors. At times I have inspected the supplies delivered at the various jails; at no time have I found them to be of inferfor quality. = The newspaper states that the goods ordered under the present regime have been delivered short in weight, but that the full amount of the order has beer charged for by the contrac- tors in rendering their bills. I know of no in- stance of this kind that ever took place under my administration. I do know of instances where mistakes have been found in bills and have later been corrected. I recall a few in- stances over a year ago where several bills were not correct. They were sent back for readjustment; the mistakes were errors in tab- ulation and had nothing to do with discrepan- cles in welghts. OI!DEII FOR MONTH ONLY. Of the alleged discoveries b Sheriff O'Neill I knew nothing. What I do know Is that ng my administration no bills were ap- d unless the articies were received at the A statement has been made that one-half of the appropriation for the fiscal year 1906-06 has been exhausted. This is as it should be. As one-half of the fiscal vear has gone and at the end of that time there was a surplus the commissary department ran behind at cer- tain times and that, as a result, there was a shortage of $7000 at one time due to the mis- application and juggling of supplies. This statement s ridiculous and can be easily proved by an investigation. For the sub- sistence of prisoners and maintenance of jails under the appropriation for the year, there is a sum of $4083 33 available monthly. winter months when there is a large influx of prisoners, this amount is insufficlent to meet the requirements and must be exceeded, while during the summer months when the humber of soners is much_less, there is a surplus ‘which is applied to the excess required during the winter months. Statements have been made that when Sheriff O'Nelll took office the commissary was found almost depleted of supplies. According to cus. tom, the supplies for all the jails wera ordersd on the first day of each month and, as we only had elght days to run in the menth of January, we stmply ordered enough to last for those days. Consequently, there was very little on han d. 1 have also read in the newspaper accounts that several of the prisomers in jail No. 2 were compelled to sleep on steel slats, there being no mattresses in the cells. If ‘his is 80, it was due principally to the inadequate sleeping accommodations of the jails, Which were taxed to thelr utmost capacity by the sudden influx of prisoners during the last few weeks. As to the charge that the prisoners had in- sufficient clothing, former Superintendent Donovan_tells me that this is absolutely un- true. The men were always furnished with shirts, etc. I deny emphatically that ‘jajls were mot kept as clean and as sanitary as the construction of the bulldings would permit. I might add that the cells are made of brick and consequently are cold and damp. I would strongly recommend that the city build steel cells at the earllest possible date. Mr. Donovan informs me that it is absolutely untrue that the prisoners were forced to wear blankets because of lack of proper clothing. During the past two years the percentage of sickgess in the jails has been less than at any other time. This Is shown by the fact that very few persons were trans- ferred to the hospital during my term of office. Shortly after taking office I established a shower system of bathing instead of the tank system heretofore used, and the prisoners were bathed regularly every week. SUPPLIES ON HAND. As to the allegation that everything mov- able was carried away from the jalls, I can only say that I hold a receipted inventory of ten typewritten wages covering articles in Jatis 2 and 3. which is signed by the mew perintendent, Mr. Gallagher. Tha Inventory shows that in Jail 2, among other things, there were the 'following articles when the new Sheriff took charge: 137 pairs pants, shirts, 282 blankets and 244 mattresses. This inventory also shows that thers was a full set of turned over to the incoming .Ammnnum;n }nd that the culinary depart- ment had a full set of dishes, pans, etc. The inveptory also shows that Jafl No.'8 had on hand 61 towsls, 91 blankets, 50 calico wrap- Your Not too much, just ‘was conducted by “Tony” Oakes, ploneer boniface. 4 ADVERTISEMENTS. to start the bile nicely.

That the nation is fast becoming one of spenders was again demonstrated yesterday afternoon in Justice of the Peace Van Nostrand's court when Jost Isell, who gave his occupation as a laborer, testified that he had spent $3000, the savings of a lifetime, in the last three months and more besides. This testimony is on a par with that of W. D. Grady, an attorney, who re- cently testified In another court that he had spent $5000 fn less than a month. 2 Isell had been sued by George Laur- cnce, an attorney, for $243 alleged to be due as the balance of counsel fees incurred in defending Isell in a divorce suit hrought by the latter’s wife.
