John Champolen, a French laundry- man at 524 Bush street, was arrested yesterday by Policeman Riehl on a warrant charging him with' battery. The complaining witness is J. W. Ol- ney, an attorney living at the Empire apartment-house, Leavenworth . and Bush streets. Olney says he called at the laundry on Tuesday to get somé wuhlnf and paid $1.80, the amount of his bill. Champolen wanted him to pay another bill which he says he did not owe. He left the laundry with his bundle and Champolen followed him and struck him, knocking him down. Champolen says that Olney 414 not pay the full amount of his bill, grabbed his bundle and ran out with {t. Champolen was released on $10 cash bail. ————————— Proposes Emergency Home, The establishment in the city of an emergency home, where mothers with children in destitute circumstances and young girls in distress may find imme- diate shelter, is contemplated.

It is proposed to begin with @ house which will give accommodation for at least twenty. 16 Muups Wne WY WILLIORS " FOR RALWA Steam and Electric Lines to Gridiron the Counties North of the Tehachapi —,—— TRACKS TO YOSEMITE Getting Rights of Way at Belvedere for Road to Be Built to Lakeport AL S The construction of an electric rail- way from Belvedere to Lakeport, via Napa, Pope Valley, Chiles Valley and along the west side of the lake, to Lakeport, is now supposed to be made sure. Parties in iInterest have been busily engaged in the past few days in buying rights of way for cash. It is reasonably sure that the enterprise Is bevond the period of speculation. Those back of the line give out that the project has been financed and that no more money is needed, there being enough capital to build and equip the line. The distance by the surveyed route from Belvedere to Lakeport is eighty miles. The. road will pass through San Rafael. It is proposed that a ferry shall be created on the west side of Belvedere, where there is still water and an opportunity for de- velopment. This is the latest of the develop- ments on the matter of new railway construction in this vicinity, but there | will be many new railroads in North- ern California in a short time, steam and electric. The Key Route will grid- iron certain parts of Alameda County, where its operations have not been known. The Bay Shore Railroad is constructing its line to connect San Francisco with Santa Cruz. Within a year, so the financlers say, the gap in the electric line between San Francisco and San Jose will be closed, making a continuous electric road from this city | to Los Gatos. | In Northern California several rail- | roads will be in construction this year | that have received little public notice. | The McCloud River railroad will be ex- | tended to a new and great lumber belt. | The Weed Lumber Company will con- i struct a line to Klamath Falls. A syndi- | cate allied to the Weyerhausers, to which Hervey Lindley sold his railroad Inter- ests, will bulld from the Klamath River to Pokegama, Oregon, and on to Keno. The Klamath project which the Gov- | ernment has in hand involving the irri- | gation of a great area, of which 230,000 | acres are under contract with the Gov- | ernment, is a terminus to the construe- tion of railroads in the north. The | Klamath project involves the expendi- ture of $4,000,000 to $5,000,000 by the Government. | The Southern Pacific Company will build from Oregon over the Cascade range into Northern California, making a new through r8ute from San Fran- cisco to Portland. The Southern Paci- fic and Santa Fe, jointly, will construct a road from Willits to Eureka. An electric road between Oroville and Chi- | co is nearly completed. A line is under survey between Chico and Red Bluff. An electric line between Colusa and Chico, on the west side of the Sacra- mento River, is also projected. | The Western Pacific has placed con- struction contracts for its line from the. California State line to Oakland. The road will pass through Stockton and Sacramento on the way north toward the Sacramento Valley towns and cities and the Beckwith Pass. At Sacramen- | to the depot will be between J and K {and Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets, | a distance of eleven blocks from Sacra- !menlo's leading hotels. In Nevadda the | | line will run through the Black Rock Desert to a point fifteen’ miles north of Humboldt House. From Wells to Winnemucca, a distance of about 192 |/miles, the Western Pacific will parallel | the old Central Pacific line. The Stockton system of electric roads will be extended. One line will run from Stockton to Lodi, a distance of twelve miles. The Yosemite electric road from Merced to the Yosemite Valley, backed by W. H. Crocker and others, ‘'will enter the valley at the | Lower Cascades. Work on the line is pushed. The Sierra Rallway Company's line from Oakdale to the Yosemite, a steam line, may reach the valley be- fore the close of the present year. The gap to be closed between the present terminus and the valley is not long. H. E. Huntington will bulld from Fresno to Wawona and the Big Trees. At Wawona connection will be made into the Yosemite by stage or automo- bile line. The expenditure for railroad construction work in California this year may amount to $20,000,000. The payments for rights of way will also run into millions of dollars. —_————— Sneak Thicves at Work. Frank Michel, 1117 Folsom street, reported to the police yesterday th: a machine chuck for fastening arili valued at $10, was stolen from his shop on Wednesday. Mrs. R. D. Porter of Willows, Mont., reported that her purse, containing 34, was stolen from er stateroom on the steamer Hum- oldt at the Broadway dock on Wed- nesday morning.

TELLS BY THEIR SLEEP “I can tell by my little ones' sleep when a cold is coming on” said a mother when speaking of the advance . symptoms of colds in children. “They toss about, are rest- less, their breathing is heavy and there are symptoms of night sweats.

Mulerevy Among the Reorganizers RECENT CONFERENCES Langdon’s Raid on the Big Gambling - House Causes Much Political Gossip The old Jeffersonlan subdivision ‘of the Democratic party of San Francisco is to be reorganized for active service in the next political campaign. The re- organizers are City Attorney Willlam G. Burke and County Clerk Harry L Mulcrevy. There have been several conferences of late to consider detalls of reorganization. The County Clerk expresses a preference for the district club system, but the City Attorney, who is recognized as the gulding genius in the movement, prefers a strong central committee composed of representative Democrats. Prior to the primary election of last August, when a coalition of Republican and Democratic forces in the municipal campalign was talked of, Willlam G. Burke was assigned to the leadership | of the Anti-Fusion Democrats. It was | then suspected that the Schmitz Centrai | Club supplied the money for the equip- ment and maintenance of the Jeffer- sonian headquarters. The purpose of the present move- ment is to bring back to the party of Thomas Jefferson and An- drew Jackson the Democrats who voted for Theodore Roosevelt in 1904 | and Eugene E. Schmitz in 1805. It is| gossip in political camps that Lang- don, District Attorney, and Burke, City Attorney, who were elected on the Union Labor ticket, are not inclined to accept the Ruef programme. Langdon's raid on Deroux & Harvey's gambling hell is cited as proof of his independ- ence. Foxy politiclans cannot be con- vinced that the gamblers opened the games with so much ostentation on a common guarantee of protection. It is clalmed that some positive inside as- surance of immunity from raids must have been obtained from high sources Somewhere a cog slipped, but just where the outsiders do not know. Langdon, however, is the hero of the hour and may get the Democratic nomi- nation for Governor. THIEF ON VENTURA BAFFLES SEARCHERS Robs Several Passengers at Sea, but Escapes Detection. The outward voyage of the liner Ventura, which arrived Tuesday even- ing from the Antipodes, was rendered exciting by the activity of a clever thief, who reaped a rich reward In money and jewelry, got away with the | stolen property and managed to ¢con- | ceal his identity so completely that neither passengers nor officers of the ship could point even the finger of sus- picion in any direction. Not only were the ship’s officers baffied and the efforts of all the aspiring Sherlock Holmeses among the passengers foiled, but the shrewdest detectives in New Zealand and Australia were unable to throw a gleam of light on the mystery. All went well on the Ventura until the liner left Samoa. Between Pago Pago and Auckland Mrs. M. E. Paulson, a second-class passenger, discovered that somebody had entered her state- room and stolen a tin box containing money and jewelry worth $1000. A rigid investigation was held, but all the gquestioning and all the searching availed nothing. The matter was re- ported to the police at Auckland and they also retired without a clew, either to loot or thief. After the liner left Auckland a Mr. ‘Whitson, a cabin passenger, reported that he had been robbed of a valuable watch, chain and trinkets, and the night before the Ventura reached SyJ- ney one of the stewards lost $85, which had been taken, he declared, from his clothes chest. The Sydney police were unable to find the thief, who either left the ship at Sydney or reformed, for on the re- turn voyage no theft, large or small, was reported. FOOD FOR PARASITES CAREFULLY GUARDED Ventura Brings From Aus- tralia Ten Cases of Codlin Moth Larvae. Most carefully guarded of all the freight which crossed the Pacific on the liner Ventura were eleven cases consigned to the State Board of Horti- culture. Each of thesescases was filled with baby codlin moths—those de- vastators of vegetation against which American entomologists are waging a successful war. ; The codlin moth, like the rest of its kind, has a natural enemy, and, under normal conditions, has little chance of becoming a pest. When the codlin moth first arrived in this country from the Antipodes it found in the Califor- nia orchards a veritable paradise. There was food galore and no enemy to thin the ranks of the ravagers. The codlin moth grew in numbers, appetite and audacity, and the orchardists were In despair when Professor Compere dis- covered in Australia the tiny parasite that was the codlin moth’s natural en- emy. A colony of these parasites was brought to this country. Detachments of them were turned loose in moth- infected orchards, and under their on- slaught the codlin moth is rapidly dis- appearing. A stock of these parasites is always kept on hand by the State Board of Horticulture for use wherever the cod- lin moth puts in an appearance. These parasites will feed on nothing but cod- 1in moths. The available codlin moth supply is getting scarce, and as the work of the beneficial little parasites has not yet been completed, the Stats has imported from Australia eleven cases of codlin moth larvae with which to feed those parasites for whom moth- infected orchards have not yet. been found. —_——— ‘Waiter Disappears With Coln.

Entrance to Chicago is to be by an elevated structure built over the Lake Shore and Rock Island railways. The plans have been perfected and the cor- poration which will build the lines will be organized within a few days In New Jersey. Access to Chicago from all points in Northern Indiana and Northern Illinois, with the possible extension of the system to Indianapolis and St. Louis, is contem- plated. In addition a system of electric lines interlacing the whole of this big territory and furnishing connections with every part of the State is projected. The chief feature of the proposed system is the elevated structure over the Lake Shore and Rock Island tracks. This will extend from the La Salle street depot to Ninetieth street, near Washington Heights. It will be ten miles long and will constitute the central artery of the system. In appearance the elevated structure will differ little from the other elevated roads in Chicago, with the exception that it will be higher, being twenty-four feet in the clear. «Stations for the econven- jence of residents of the South Side will be built at Twenty-second street and at intervals of five blocks south. Cheapness of transportation will be one of the alms of the promoters. The maxi- mum fare on the elevated portion of the system will be fixed at fifteen cents and the minimum at five cents.- On the Inter- urban divisions of the road the fare will range from 5 to & cents. Allowing a year for the manufacture of the steel, it is estimated that the road will be completed by 1309. The cost of building the entire system is placed at —_—— VICTIM OF DRINK, FEARING CHILD’S REPROACH, ENDS LIFE David Klump, Machinist, Found Dead in Room With Schoolgiel's Pa- thetic Note om Person. “Dave Klump, you are a very bad boy, and I wish you would stop drink- ing. Please, to satisfy wme, “MAGGIE OFARRELL."™ David Klump was a machinist at the Union Iron Works, who had seen 354 years, but was aged far beyond his half century by the insidious mastery of the enemy he could not comquer— alcohol. Maggle O'Farrell is a little schoolgirl. The mute appeal of the lit- tle child to the human being sinking in the maelstrom of rum was taken from his dead body when it was found in his gas-filled room at 1368 Kentucky street yesterday morning. The kindly toned admonition of the little girl, instead of leading Klump to reform, may have caused him, knowing his helplessness to avoid drink, to vol- untarily cross the dark river and avoid again meeting her gentle reproach. Klump lived with little Maggie's par- ents. He was a native of New Jersey and unmarried. ——— Interesting Scemery Viewed im Comfort From a Fast Train—Shore Line Limited.
