YORK, Aug. 15.—Unless the e ones of Wall street are mistaken, | President Harriman and his associates | in the Southern Pacific have determined | to put the stock of this road on a 4 per| cent dividend basis tomorrow.- On the| strength of this general belief the stock | rose to a record price today, touching 81% in very active dealings. The best previous record was 813, made in 1902. Southern Pacific stockholders have been walting for a dividend more than twenty years. | At this some of the stockholders have manifested aggressive impatience. It was P. Huntington's policy not to pay dividends until the property should be able to continue payments. By ad- hering to this policy in the face of much criticism he prevented the road from going into a recelver’s hands, when nearly all of the big Western raliroad companies were in financial difficulties.

Parents of Missing Carl Jackson Are Threatened by Mysterious Stranger BELIEVE LAD HAS BEEN KIDNAPED Well-Dressed Youth Visits { the House Four Times . Within Last Two Days * F you ever expect to see your boy again, you will-have to come through with the money.” | After making this startling | statement a well dressed youth hur- | riedly left the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Jackson, 1314 Octavia street, last | night. The boy to whom the youth re- | ferred is 13-year-old Carl Jackson, and { the parents are wild with grief, fearful | that the lad may have fallen into ‘the | bands of kidnapers. Little Carl left his home on Tuesday | to go to work at the California Bak- ing Company, where he has been em- ployed for some months. Since then nothing has been heard from him. As the boy never stayed away from home | over night before, his parents are nat- | urally fearful for his safety. Four times has the mysterious youth appeared at the Jackson home, and on two. occasions he told the mother and father that if they did not produce | money they would never behold their | sof again. Mr. and Mrs. Jackson do | not know who this young man is. He was never seen in the company of | Carl, yet he seemed to be familiar with | the lad's doings and knew when he | left home. When Carl did not appear at the usual hour on Tueésday night his pa- rents began to show signs of uxlaty As they sat discussing the unusual sit- uation the doorbell rang and the mys- terious young man appeared. - He asked if the boy had been heard from and, receiving a negative reply, Weft | without offering further explanation. i Bright and early yestéerday morning the same young man again appeared at the Jackson home. Once more he asked | for Carl and once more he left hurried- ly, failing to $ay. what his mission was. At noon yesterday the stranger ap- | peared for the third time. As usual he asked for the boy and then plainly told the parents that if they did not pay him they would never behold their | oftspring again. The distracted mother and father did not know what to say. They were in a quandary. Their slow tactics did not seem to suit the stranger, for he left them after a few moments’ colloquy. For six hours Mr. and Mrs. Jackson !lned in mortal terror. They feared for the safety of their child, vet they dared not tell any one, dreading that. | the mysterious stranger might carry |out his threat. They were debating | as to the advisability of notifying: the | police when the door bell rang again |and the stranger made his appearance | for the fourth time. | “Has Carl arrived yet?” he asked. 0,” was the reply. | “Well, then, you will have to come through with the money or you will never see him alive,” answered the stranger. He waited a few moments to see the effect of his bold proposition, and then left hastily. After the fourth visit of the stran- ger Mr. and Mrs. Jackson notified the police. Detective Silvey was detailed | on the case last night, but after work- ing several hours returned without a clew. The police are of the opinion. that the lad was kidnaped. They believe that the young man who made the fre- quent trips to the Jackson home is a go-between. This is the first case of its kind that has occurred- here for many years. The father of the lad is a well- known business man, being a depart- ment manager of the Emporium. He says his son wa$ .a dutiful boy and was not given to running around the streets or staying out late. He is of the opinion that the boy is being held for ransom. LETTER MAY SOLVE! TEMESGAL GASE.

By Thomas Sullivan. HE :victory of Abe Ruef at the local primary election on Tuesday and-the methdds by which it was won were topics that overshadowed all others yesterday in the discuss ions of men of affairs. Never before in the political history of the city had election laws been so openly and insultingly- abused. The boss and his district satellites seized the political machinery, operated’ it at their pleasure and laughed at the protests of men who had a right to object. . The tuins of the city were made the vehicle by« which the government of San Francisco, and in a large measure the administration of California, were taken away from the only men that have the welfare of either at heart. Ruef’s Invasion Into Democracy Mgy Have Failed As a rule these offenses are committed in secret, but on Tuesday the frauds were open and arrogant. While Ruef’s victory in the Republican and Labor Union field was sweeping there is reason to believe that his invasion into Democratic territory was not as successful as at first seemed. His only apparent motive for seeking to wrest control from the regular ‘Democratic organization was to defeat the ambition Superior Judge William P. Lawlor to succeed himself on the bench. This was the only issue, the singld excuse that induced Ruef to send his henchmen into the Democratic field. It was the revenge of a political boss upon a Judge who copld not be corrupted by machine politics. Such invasions have been bitterly paid jor by former bosses, and Ruef may yet have cause for very deep regrets. Gavin McNab--says that notwithstanding the apparent triumph of the opposition and the seeming success of the hybrid combination the regular organization has won a substantial plurality, and beyond the shadow of a doubt will place Lawlor upon the Democratic ticket. It is claimed by McNab that the regular orgardization will have at least 100 votes out of 168, and that it may score 114 in the convention. Claims Put Forth by Regular Organization. The regular organization claims that it will have at least the following working force in the convention: Twenty-eighth District, nine votes; Thirty- first District, twelve votes; Thirty-second District, eleven votes; Thirty- third District, eight votes; Thirty-fourth District, nine votes; Tnmy-;h Disttict, nine votes; Thirty-sixth District, ten votes; Thirty-seventh b trict, ten votes; Fortieth District, six, votes; Forty-third District, eight votes; Forty-fifth District, eight votes. Added to these there may be two in the Thirty-ninth and two more in the Forty-second. By what alchemy of politics the regular organization expects to trams- form these districts into regulars is not clear, but this is the claim that is made. Naturally it is resisted with much vehemence by the statesmen of the -opposition who insist that the regular organization won only three districts.. With huge hilarity the opposition declares that it will orgamize the delegation, take the few remaining regulars from their standard and make a successful raid upon the local organization. Pettx bosses are spring- ing up like mushrooms after a heavy rain; a dozen men are looking for ‘McNab’s shoes. \ In this connection it is pérhaps not uninteresting that Police Judge ICharIes Conlan is hot foot after a seat on the Superior bench.
