Counsel for Mrs. Schiller then sought to show that Burgess was prejudiced against her, but he parried the imputa- tion by explaining the mask ball inci- dent. “I'intended at st to -accom- pany the young lady sh€ selected to be my companion,” .said Burgess, “but later I thought better of it and at- tended the ball alone, dressed up as a lady, after telling Mrs. Schiller that unfortunately I had been called away. She was angry that I deceived her, but I feel kindly toward her.” Do you not think your conduct was very unladylike—-" | “Call the next witness,” interrupted Judge Graham, and N. T. Smith took the stand. Smith had seen Mrs. Schil- ler and McRae together on various oc- casions, but there his knowledge of the tangle ended. Mrs. G. W. Rice, Mrs. Schiller's sis- ter, was called and asked -if she had not read a letter in which Mrs. Schil- ler confessed her love for McRae. Mrs. Rice sald that at one time a letter was handed to her by her sister, but that she did not read it; she could not testify in any way as'to its contents. “Great Scott!” whispered the balliff, “a woman without curiosity.” Charles and Emil Schiller, brothers of Otto Frank Schiller, defendant and | cross-complainant in the divorce pro- ceedings, testified as to the facts sur- rounding the arrest of McRae ome tnight, when, caught coming from Mrs. Schiller's home, he thrust a revolver against Schiller's ribs and threatehed to slay him. The brothers confirmed the fact that when McRae was taken to jail and searched Mrs. Schiller's purse, containing her wedding ring, a nugget, $15 in money and her picture, was found in his pocket. GROOM PLAYS LADY. A picturesque scene was enacted when Carlton W. Seely, a clerk at the | Postoffice, demonstrated to the court | how he had seen Mrs. Schiller and Mc- Rae parading along Market street, arm in arm, apparently very affectionate toward each other. J. J. Groom, clerk of the court, looking his best, played the part of Mrs. Schiller and Seely | portrayed McRae. Up and down an imaginary Market street Seely and |'Groom paraded, Seely holding Groom | tenderly by the arm, until all had fixed in their minds a probable picture as to just how Mrs. Schiller and her cava- lier appeared. This was enough for the day, and adjournment was ordered. WITH OGLER. |President of Affiliated Women’s Clubs Makes a Novel Suggestion SPECIAL DISPALICH TO THE CALL. DENVER, Colo, June 6.—The Osler theory has a rival. Mrs. Sarah Platt- Decker, elected by all the affiliated | women's clubs of America as their | president and leader, is its author. Here is where the Mrs. Decker the- ory differs and will assuredly be found to differ by the wisest head of every country. The Decker theory is full of truths, which, if the world would choose to follow, might add a great deal to its happiness. Osler said: “When you reach the age of 40 you are of no worth to man- kind, die. All the world’s great deeds have been by men of less than 40 years.” Mrs. Decker says: “All you men of success who have achieved fortune, or even a good, independent income, cease your money-making labors. “But do not cease all labor. You are the community’s ablest citizens. There is a work, highest, best and noblest, Give your efforts to the ennoblement of mankind, to the betterment of the community in which you live. Become the Governors of the States, not to pay success of party or to guard the interests of the cor- porations, but to do all the civic good which your office enables you to do. “Become the Mayors, the Councilmen, the Supervisors, the responsible offi- clals of your citles. Serve without pay or hope of emolument, out of pure love of humanity, only for the op- portunity it gives you to make your State better, your city a thing of beauty, your civil life pure and whole- some. “You can do this because you do not need the money which the wage of office would bring you. You would get that best thing out of life—the honor which comes from right deeds well done—which would be a greater pleasure than the addimg of another million to your already great wealth.” e Sails' Aloft and Disappears.

The Spring Valley Water Company, which, | it Is asserted, is permitting dirty water | to run into some of its pipes, will | also fall within the lines of investiga- tion, though It {8 admitted that the |- problem that confronts it is greater than that faced by either of the other corporations. “Looting,” sald Judge Burke yester- day, “would be a mild phrase to apply to the methods of the telephone and the gas and electric companies in their effort to recoup the losses suffered by them in the conflagration. No person will deny that the telephone service at this time is execrable and the fact that the gas that 1s being supplied is of the poorest quality cannot be questioned. “Byt it is the financfal end of the game these companies are playing that is of interest to my office.” The tele- phone company asserts that the tangled condition of its lines prevents | the installation in private homas of the slot phones for which $1.50 a month was charged prior to the dis- aster. As a result all of those that must have telephones in their homes are compelled to submit to the com- pany’s charge of $4.50 a month. “I have also been credibly informed that in those instances where the com- pany has placed slot telephones in public places that are supposed to re- turn the nickel in event a desired switch cannot be had it has instructed its operators not to return the nickel in any circumstances, and as a result there is much complaint. ONE CENT A SWITCH. “I am now engaged in drafting an ordinance which I purpose presenting to the Board of Supervisors in the near future, providing for penny switches. One cent is enough to pay for a switch in view of the poor service the com- pany is now giving its patrons and I purpose to see if the company cannot be compelled to accept what its service Is worth and no more. Ever since the incorporation of the Pacific States Telephone Company the service in San Francisco has been poorer than in any other city on the coast. I am con- fident that the adoption of such an or- dinance as I propose would improve matters. If it did not it would at least save the public from being looted to the extent that now prevails.” “As to the gas and electric company I have been informed that it is now charging patrons $5 for connections and $2.50 for 'meters. This is in direct violation of the law. Under the law | as it exists the company is compelled | to make connections and place meters without charge, but it has taken ad- vantage of the people's eagerness to secure light and is gouging them ac- cordingly. I am going to call the at- tention of the Board of Supervisors to the situation and ask that such addi- | tional ordinances as may be necessary | to put an end to the practice be passed. GAS BILLS TOO HIGH. “I am also informed, and my in- vestigations have verified the report, that notswithstanding the reduction of | the gas rate from $1 to 85 cents the | gas bills of the people are as large | if not larger than they were before. | There is no :question that the gas company is installing fast meters and | is deliberately looting the public and the municipality. It is my intention to ask for the appointment of a com- mission tpat thoroughly understands meters and the quality of gas to in- vestigate conditions. I also shall call upon the Police Department to have | the members of the force secure bills from as many householders as possi- ble to show the cost of gas before and after the reduction. Then if we can prove that the company has deliber- ately put in fast meters there may be some indictments of prominent mem- bers of the community. “All will admit the fact that the Spring Valley Water Company has been hard hit, but at the same time it should not turn dirty water into its pipes and thus endanger the public health. In some portions of the ecity the water is not fit for use and it is the intention of my office to see if \Will Direct EUGENESHELBY NOW HEAD OF DIVISION.

Shelby entered the service of the company on October 18, 1873, as a messenger boy on the Oregon and Cal- ifornia Ralilroad, running between Portland and Roseburg.

UNITED STATES SOLDIER | BEST LOOKING IN WORLD Praised by Engfiman Who Has Come to Make Improvements in Uniforms. WASHINGTON, July 6.—The military appearance of the American soldier was a surprise to George V. Winter, | who came from London on invitation| of the War Department to design cer- | tain improvements in the uniforms of the service which would bring them in line with the fit and make-up of the British uniforms. “The American soldier has the best build and bearing in the world.” de- clared Winter, on the eve of his de- parture for New York. “I thought Tommy Atkins was the best in line. 50 | I am surprised at what I have seen here. While the American soldier is not so beefy as the Britisher, he is ‘smarter’ and better set up. He is the best looking soldier in the world, su- perior to the fighting men of Germany, France or Engtand. The only improve- ment in the uniforms is to give him a better fit, giving full effect to his fine qualitie The patterns submitted by Winter indicate numerous minor changes in the uniforms, but no radical departure from existing styles. —_— FEDERAL COURT RESTRAINS UTAH TICKET SCALPERS | Order is Sweeping In Character and| ‘Will Affect Many Brokers in Salt | Lake and Ogden.

Wins His Way to High Post TIGHIRT SOEFENSE CALLED A JOKE. Indiana Governor Says Gambling at Springs Has Been Notorious Asserts That the Politi- cian Has Been a Party to Illegal Proceedings WINONA LAKE, Ind. July §—Gov- ernor Hanly, at whose command the raid on the casinos at French Lick and West Baden were made, today made & ch he says: We shall now learn whether the mx agement of the French Lick Springs Hotel Company and the West Baden Hotel Company is above the law. The issue is not between the managers of these companies and me; it is between them and a far greater and more e during_power—between them and the law. The statement of Mr. Taggart that the French Lick Springs otel Company has not and will not tolerate gambling on its premises, in the light of recent developments and evidence in the possession. of the State, scarcely rises to the force and dignity of a jest. If his statement is true, what is the meaning of the carload of costly paraphernalia taken from the premises He admits him- & has existed. His in open court agreed that gambling should not be permitted between yesterday and the 13th in- stant, when the cases are to be heard. Where did he find this new power to stop it? The hotel safe itself has been used for weeks nightly as a place of safe keeping for the money earned by the casino. The casino building 1 cost more than $10,000. What legiti- mate purpose on use could justify the payment of the great sum, said to be $50,000 annually, by the operator of the casino for his commission” The truth is that Mr. Taggart, as manager of the hotel company, has at no time desired anything in connection with the casino that has not been granted by its operator. On special days like that when the members of the National Editorial Assoecfation visited French Lick, he had the power to cause the suspension of gambling in the casina during the whole time of their visit, and it was actually closed except as to the lower floor, where the slot- machines were allowed to run. Mr. Taggart will not be able to fool either the people of Indiana or deceive the people of this country in this mat- ter. I believe the suits flled by Attor- ney General Miller to be weil founded. If, for any reason the law is inadequate as now written, I shall appeal to the people of the State without regard to their party afliations, to élect a Gen- eral Assembly in November that will enact a law clothing the executive with such authority as will enable him to reach such conditions. PAOLI, Ind., July 6.—Charles Miller, Attorney General of Indiana, who is personally conducting the litigation on behalf of the State against the French Lick Springs and West Baden Hotel companies, in discussing the statements made by Thomas Taggart. to the effeot that the casinos were not a part of the hotel properties, but were under lease to third parties and suits were pend- ing to cancel these leases because the hotel companies had learned that gam- bdbling was being conducted at the ca- sinos, said today: There are some peculiar features about these two_“pending” suits to can- cel the leases. Why were they brought in a Justice of the Peace Court at T o’clock at night and tried with great effort and secrecy and then as quietly appealed to the Circuit Court, where they have remained cooped up and un= known. self that did not They were brought to meet exactly. such a contingency as this and to be dragged up and used as a defense when needed. he leases were made March 19, the suits were brought April 11, the hearing was at night—a most un- usual procedure—and the peal from the finding of the loecal Justice to the Circuit Court was made June 15 and all was so quietly done that few seemed to know that any such action had ever been instituted. But the State is under obliga to the hotel company for those official records, for in their complaints the hotel company has set up ownership to the property and bases its pelition on the ground that the people operating the casinos have been using them for gambling purposes. Here we have the admission of gambling. In all other respects the suits for possession are jokes—as I characterized them in the court yesterd: i iesiigted St. Gaudens Again at Work. WINDSOR, Vt.

The unwelcome news has confirmed the be- lief which medical officers of the Gov- ernment have had for some time that cholera is indigenous to the Philip- pines, for in spite of the best efforts of the American sanitary officers the disease recurs there in more or less frequent intervals. . Less time has elapsed between the present epidemic at Manila and the last than between that and the one immediately preceding it. There had been no case of cholera reported in the city for a year from April, 1904, but just as the medical authorities began to congratulate themselves that tney had the disease well in hand they were called on to deal with another out- break, which originated in August, 1605, and ran throughout the fall of that year, Owing to the fact that the malady had been reported to be present at Hongkong it was thought it might have been imported in vegetables, but sub- sequent investigation showed that the importation of green vegetables from China had been prohibited since Feb- ruary, 1905, and only potatoes, onions and garlic were admitted, and none of the ball and toe! money ! —$400 these products had entered the Philip- pines since June, 1905, ot | $350 Wear .
