The Independence League of Califor- nia yesterday filed a protest with the Board of Supervisors against granting a franchise to the Ocean Shore Railway Company. The protest states that the grounds of objection are that the com- pany is not prohibited from carrying freight and express matter, which might be a future menace to life; that the establishing of a terminal at Mar- ket and Twelfth streets should be safe- guarded by proper restrictions; that the city shall have the right to acquire the terminal.and the term of the fran- chise should be for twenty-five years, as the charter requires, and not for fifty years. e Price Now a Lawyer.

Leading business men of San Fran- cisco, meeting yesterday at the Mer- chants’ Club on invitation of Samuel Sussman, appointed a committee, head- ed by E. R. Lilienthal, to see what can be done to give to San Francisco & greater Alaskan trade than has been heretofore secured. The immediate pur- pose of the meeting was to hear the | | garding the Alaska Central Railway; | whkich will be constructed from the Pa- | cific. Coast at Seward for a distance of 440 miles to the heart of Alaska. in the Tanana region. { Mr. Bellaine had much of interest to -j(u]l. and much to suggest concerning the move that San Francisco business men can take to benefit themselves and the trade of San Francisco at the same time. Mr. Bellaine said that he did not wish | one dollar of money from San Fran- | cisco for the construction of the road, | which has been financed. What he de- | sired was that Francisco should | arrange, through its men of business, to put on a line of steamers to run to | Seward to carry merchandise and pas- | | sengers who will journey over the Alaska Central Rallway. This will | help to develop the country and pro- vide business for the road and trade tor this city. Mr. Lillenthal, the chairman of the committee that was appointed to take the preliminary steps, announced that he would present the*matter to the Board of Trade of San Francisco. the Pacific Coast Jobbers' and Manufac- | turers’ Association and the Merchants' Exchange. The other commercial bodies of this city will also be in- formed of the advantages to be de- rived from lending their aid to estab- lish the desired steamship line. PROMINENT MEN CONFER. Among those who were present at the conference at the Merchants’ Club sterday were: Samuel Sussman of ussman, Wormser & Co.; John E. Bel- laine of the Alaska Central Raiiway; Captain John Barneson; Mr. Underhill of the Selby Smelting and Lead Com- | pany; Wakefield Baker 6f Baker & Hamilton; Mr. Brant of Baker & Ham- ilton; Frank S. Johnson of the John- son-Locke Mercantile Company; Henry Morton of the Pacific Hardware and Steel Company; John Harron of Har- | ron, Rickard & McCone; E. R. Lilien- thal of the Crown Distilleries Company. During three hours the subject was talked over thoroughly. Some of the statements of Mr. Bel- laine were in regard to the resources of the region that will be penetrated by the Alaska Central Rallway. He sald that the railway would lead to the =ettlement and development of a virgin country as large as all of New Eng- land, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois combined. Alaska, he said, leads New England | in fisheries, has more coal than Penn- | sylvania and Ohio, possesses copper de- | posits that in extent and percentage of richness are greater than those of Michigan, Montana, Arizona and Utah. | The area of its placer gravels and | gold-bearing rocks more than equaled similar areas in the remainder of the United States. Every kind of vegeta- TRIES TO RAILROAD WIFE TO ASYLUM { Presiding Judge Graham Un- covers Scheme of Gio- vonni Boscacei. While attorneys representing Mrs. Marie Boscacci were busily engaged in ihe office of the County Clerk yesterday | instituting her action for divorce, ' her husband, Giovonni Boscacci, was endeav- oring to convince Judge Graham and the Insanity Commission that she was men- | taily unbalanced and should be sent to the asylum. Boscacci's scheme was too the day, from Judge Graham that main within his memory. For the third time Boscacci caused the arrest of his wife last week on a charge of insanity and she was confined in the Detention Ward of the Central Emer- gency Hospital *pending examination. Yesterday she was examined by the In- sanity Commissioners, Presiding Judge Graham sitting in the case. The hear- ing had not proceeded far when it was determined that Mrs. Boscaccl was far from insane and Boscacci was compelled to admit that a person had toid him that a good way to get rid of his wife would be to send her to the asylum. “There can be no question that you thought it would be an easy matter to ‘raflroad’ your wife to the asylum,” said Judge Graham, addressing Boscacci. “Such conduct on your part is outrage- ous and calls for the strongest condem- nation. However, you are mistaken in your views of the ease with which you imagined this commission could be de- celved, and I direct that Mrs. Boscaccl be released from custody to return to her home and children.” In her action for divorce Mrs. Boscaccl charges her husband with extreme cruel- ty. She asserts that for many months he has abused her, his effort to ‘“railroad” | her to the asylum being but one of his many offenses. She asks for the custody of her twe children, $50 a month allmony and the family furniture located at 360 Orizaba street, Ocean View. Boscacel is & brass polisher. . PLUNKETT’S WIFE CHARGES HIM WITH MANY OFFENSES Insurance Man Accused of Falling to Provide for His Family and With Cruelty. Mrs. M. N. Augustine Plunkett, who resides at 3022 Pine street, filed suit for divorce yesterday against William J. Plunkett, who s engaged in the insurance business. Mrs. Plunkett says that notwithstanding the fact that her husband is in receipt of a monthly income of $200 he has refused to properly provide for her and has gone 80 far as to refuse to give her car-i fare or to nrovide medical attention ' | for their child. Mrs. Plunkett further alleges that her husband has treated | her with extreme cruelty. Lucy Rosetta failed signally to prove | her charges against her husband, Frank, before Judge Hebbard yester- day, with the result that she was de: Inied a divorce. Next week Rosetta’ will long re- | charges against her will be heard. | Buit for divorce was filed yesterday | by Bertha M. against Jo J. Conway for failure to provide.

Its waters produce one- half of the annual salmon catch of the West— ern_hemisphere. The great mountain systems of Alaska are crowned with ice and snow, and they foed glaciers, but in the southarn and central portions are vast ana fertile valleys, some as large as the State of Ohlo, densely timbered, and yicldhg abunduntly of grasses, all varieties of vegetabies, and the hardy grains. ‘These valleys cobrespond . in area, latitude and climatic conditions with portions of Northwestern Ilurope that contain 16,000,000 prosperous and enlightened people, Such is the wonderful new country the Alas ka Central Railway is opening. The stors houses of miner: wealth and the vast and fertile valleys describ:d by the memorial are the storehouses and the valleys that the Alas- ka Central is bringig into speedy develop— ment. ‘The virin opportunities that once were offered in Ohlo, Towa, Washington and Ore- gon are now offered 'in greater varlety and richer abundance in the valleys and mountains through which the Alaska Central is pushing its highway of steel. ALASKAN ROAD BUILDING. Mr. Bellaine said regarding the prog- ress of the Alaska Central Railway in part: An even fifty miles of track of the Alaska Central Rallway was completed and in opera- tion from Seward the first day of Janua 1906, and many miles of the roadbed bevond mile 30 were ready for the rails. Sixteen Pundred men were then working on the grade from mile 50 to mile 105. ‘The railway com- pany men, and is pushing the completed road with all possible speed, ultimate objective, the Tanana River. The company expects (o have the road In operation to Knik, 142 miles north of Seward, by the fall of 1906, and possibly also the branch to the Chicaloon coul fields. From Knik good trails leading to every part of the Susitna valley, the Kintishna mining district, the Tanana mining district and the Copper River valley will be in condition for comfort- able and economical traveling. The mining districts being developed all through the Kenai Peninsuia and along Turnagain Arm are already connected by trails with th: completed railroad Concerning Tanana, Mr. Bellaine quoted United States Judge Wicker- sham as saying: The Tanana region is big enough and rich enough for a great State. ‘There is a valley 300 miles long by 50 wide, With a sofl of re- markable fertility, besides the most marvelous mireral area ever dlscovered on this earth. Its mineral resources seem almost inexhaustible and everywhere the prospector bores in it he finds deposits similar to those first discovered. 1 expect the Kintishna rush to be repeated over | and over agaln. I am told by men that great discoveries may through Central Alaska. Not all of them will who have Investigated be as rich as Kintishna, but good camps will | e rlanted on every creek. The Tanafa has a magnificent, bracing climate, B0, Colder than'the cllmate’ of the Northern States, and It is extremely healthful. It is well adapted to stockraising, and the small grains grow well there. All kinds of vegetables thrive wonderfully. The soil is deep and black. The people of Tanana are looking forward erly to the completion or a railroad from this coust. When the road reaches Fairbanks that ‘town and Seward will have a wonderful growth. Both of them will become large cities, With many prosperous town .between. — - MACHINIST FORGES POSTAL MONEY ORDER Trapped by Inspector Mad- den and Detective Quigley of Oakland. Postoffice Inspector R. W. Madden arrested Thomas Frederick Woodward last Monday evening in the California lodging-house at Sixth street and Broadway. Oakland, on a charge of having ‘forged the name of Alexander MacInnis to a postal rsoney order for $26. Wdbdward went to the postoffice with the order, and in the presence of the clerk indorsed it with the name of Alexander MacInnis, MacInnis * missed the money, and wrote to his brother in Santa Clara, and the brother replied that he had sent a postal note for the amount to Alexander's address, the California lodging-house, in which place Wood- ward had a room. Complaint was then made to Post- office Inspector Madden, who, with De- tective Quigley of the Oakland force, laid a trap for the thlef. A watch was set on the letter rack in the hall- way of the lodging-house and another letter addressed to Alexauder Mac- Innis in his brother’s handwriting was placed in the rack. When Woodward came in after his day's work he was seen to take the letter from the .rack and put it into his pocket. He was seized by Madden and Quigley with the letter in his possession. He then admitted that he had cashed the miss- ing order ‘after having forged the in- dorsement upon it. He was at once taken to the postal clerk who had cashed the order and was identifled as _the forger. Woodward is 18 years old, and was working in a machine shop on Web- ster street, Oakland. His father and stepmother live in Oakland. —_——— GANG OF HOODLUMS START FIGHT ON THE SAUSALITO Army Ofiicer, Backed by the President of North Shore Road, Suppresses Threatened Riot. A crowd of hoodlums almost created a panic on the steamer Sausalito on her 5:15 trip from this city Monday. There were #ix In the crowd, and they began the disturbance by insulting some women passengers. When an army officer attempted to quiet them they turned on him. A. W. Foster, president of the North Shore road, J. ‘M. Wilking, the Prison Director, and John- Partridge, the wholesale sta- tioner, supported the officer. I The army man, who refused to xlv- his name, picked out the huskiest aad noisiest of the hoodlums and knocked { him to the deck with a well directsd ! punch on the point of the jaw. His comrades tried to rush the Dlncky mesn in uniform, but the railroad nate, backed by the others, took a hlnd in the game.

Supervisors’ Finance Com- mittee Not Inelined to Dis- obey Charter Restn’ction| T0 REAPPORTION BUNDS Law Requires That Excess in Revenue Must Be Carried Over to Next Fiscal Year Supervisor Gallagher, chairman of the pervisors, yesterday held a conference with the Board of Public Works relative to the request of that board for addi- tional funds to clean the streets and sewers and for other purposes. The Fi- nance Committee is at present busily en- gaged with the consideration of whether it has the power to expend the surplus in the general fund due to the increaséd as- sessment roll. The surplus in the fund amounts to about §120,000, but the com- mittee is confronted with the charter re- | striction that any surplus in the fund of one fiscal year must be carrfed over | into the next fiscal year, then to be re- | apportioned. Supervisor Gallagher is of the opinion that under* that provision of the charter the hands of the committee are tied so | far as the immediate apportionment of the surplus is concerned, and it looks as if the various municipal departments which planned to secure some of the sur- plus as soon as the Schmitz regime was in full control of the municipal adminis- tration will have to wait until July 1. So far thé committee has done nothing in the way of complying with the requests of the city departments for additional funds, except to have the board create several new positions. Among these is an assistant bond and warrant clerk, four additional copyists in the County Clerk's office and two extra deputies and a mes- senger in the Sheriff's office. If the sur- plus cannot be utilized to pay these sal- aries, then the urgent necessity fund must be drawn on for that pur- pese and that ~ will not go very far. Of the original fund of $36,000 the sum of $16,000 has been expended, leav- ing but $20,000 to meet the demands of the city departments, which already ag- gregate more than $75,000. Among the latter are 150 horses wanted for the Fire Department, which will cost $40,000;, the $20,000 asked by the Board of Works to clean the streets, besides other sums wanted by the same board to repave basalt block streets, to employ care- | | takers for the Third-street bridge and other purposes. As a specific tax was levied for the schools, patk and public library, the sur- plus money accumuiating owing to the in creased assessment roll will be at once available for those purposes. The school fund will be enriched by $20,000 over and above the amount appropriated in the present budget; the library fund by $2000 and the park fund by $10,000. The surplus in the general fund, amounting to $120,000, will in all likelihood not be available un- til the expiration of five months from now if the letter of the charter is com- plied with. | —_———— NAMES FOR GRAND JURIES SELECTED BY COURT Superior Judges Announce the List From Which Investigating Bodies ‘Wil Be Drawn.

Thackeray MEMBERS OF MARK HOPKINS INSTITUTE HEAR LECTURE Professor John Galen Howard of Unie versity of California Speaks of “The Family Thee of Agriculture.” . Professor John Galen Howard, pro- fessor of architecture of the Univer- sity of California, gave an illustrated lecture on “The Family Tree of Archi- tecture” In the Mark Hopkins Insticute of Art last evening. The professor said that the nermal man has always craved beauty, and this craving has caused an increasing need for artistic buildings. “The moment that men began to raise one stone upon another,” said the professor, “that mo- ment architecture had its beginning, and from that moment it has been mak- ing rapid strides up to the present time.” A number of lantern slides were given throughout the evening, showing the most ancient ruins of the cHff dwellers, which the professor explained as the beginning of architecture. Pass- ing on from that he showed the ruins of the Greek and Roman temples and the gradual changes from that time to the presemt. —_——— HORSE LANDS IN CELLAR.—A horse ran way on the down grade of Dolores street, between Twenty-fourth and Twenty-ffth, yws- | terday and ended his wild career by falling jintd ‘a cellar at the grocery of Frank | Kretz ‘at ‘Mission and Twenty-fourth streeis The horse had to be conducted through the cellar, into the back yard and out through a sideway passage as the entrance into the cellar was too Darrow to turn the animal around.
