The case against Maura was called | at o'clock on the arternoon of the| 6th He had been summoned to ap- pear and defend the suit. Just before that hour he was Seen to enter his shack and close the door behind him. Patrolhan Silven passed the shack | vesterday afternoon and as he missed the old man with whom he had often {talked he peered in through the bit of glass that served for a window and saw the body of the suicide hanging | | by the strap. | He broke in the door and cut the | body down; then summoned the Coro- | ner. Since the middle of December | | Maura, who was & cabinet maker, had been out of work. He had paid his | ground rental for November and De- | cember, but the demend for January he could not meet. Then the suit was filed against him. He gave his life in payment of the debt. - 1t it said that a widow and son who live in London, Eng. survive. S e e ALLEGES BLACKSMITH THREAT ED TO KILL GIRL HER | Miss Haverty May Place an Additional i Charge A t the Belligerent Edward Marron | After hearing the testimony of Miss Lily Haverty and Edward Marron re- garding the attack that he made on her and the grabbing of a watch from her waist in Fillmore street last Wednes- day night, Police Judge Conlan decided yesterday that the charge of assault to commit robbery against the man | would not stand. The case was ac- cordingly postponed one week. Miss Haverty stated that Marron, who was | formerly engaged to her and had made ’her a present of the watch in question, threatened on several occasions to kill lher if he should meet her at any time with another man. On the strength of this statement the court advised the young woman to have | Marron arrested on a charge of threats | against. life.

LONG 5PUR TRACK NOT IN_ FAVOR In all likelthood the Board of Super- visors will refuse to grant the South- ern Pacific Company a permit to lay a spur track along Bluxome street, from Fourth to Seventh, at its meeting to- morrow. Supervisor Rea, chairman of the street committee, said yesterday test filed against the spur track by Chief Engineer Shaughnessy of the Fire Department on that ground that it would interfere with engines re- | sponding to fires. Rea said that the proposed spur track was of such great length that | the board has virtually determined | that the privilege must be granted by franchise, under conditions to which | the company would have to subscribe. | The street committee made an auto- | mobile trip of inspection to Sixteenth, | Carolina and Harrison streets yester- | day, where applications for spur track | permits had been made. After look- | ing over the ground the committee | decided to recommend the granting of | the permits. i 3 | | .0&’ {OPEN GLUB OF THE RAILROAD AGEATS It was opening day at the Trans- portation Club yesterday, and every railroad was represented in the new quarters in the Flood building. President Alberger met the mem- bers, P. K. Gordon led them to the| refreshment tables, C. W. Colby helped them, W. R. Kneiss seconded Colby, and Henry Avila seconded Kneiss. James C. Tice took the visitors around | the room, James W. Adams explained the working of the electrie- lights, and C. P. Runyon expatiated on the beauty of the heavy velvet curtains adorned with the monogram of the club. There were many calls for a speech from Alberger, who finally responded to the popular clamor and said: “This is the only club that has never | left the burned district. We were burned out of our quarters at the Palace; had a wall fall down upon us when on Mint avenue, which nearly| killed my esteemed friend Harry A. Buck; and then we were turned out of the next place on Eddy street. “We are installed here, I hope, for many years to come, and pretty soon we will give a housewarming to all| our friends. The Transportation Club intends to introduce may new features | for the pleasure of its members during the year! | The Transportation Club was then | declared open. In connection with the club a restaurant, exclusively for mem- bers, will be set apart in the new cafe which is to be in the basement of the building. Carlton C.. Crane, who has the restaurant, says it will ‘be ready to receive guests on the morning of April 18. The following were present: W. R. Alberger, Phil K. Gordon, M. Stern, Y. W. S. Bl . der, E. M.

Some smart persons have fig- ured out that they can beat the rail- roads by enjoying a continuous trip from Fillmore and Sutter streets to Market, from Market and Sutter to Fillmore by way of Market street, and thus. on like the babbling little brook | that flows on forever and forever. | The United Rallroads is not averse | to giving passengers transfers on transfers for trips toward a given des- is either east or west, north or south, but it does not pro- pose to ride the weary waggles of the city on the cars that are already over- crowded with the sort of fellows who {pay for getting there without looping | the loop. | Orders have been issued to put a |stop to the “ride-all-day-for-a-nickel™ |crowd, and a transfer from the Fill- | more-street line will only be issued under circumstances that will insure | the passenger a trip on a line that will not bring him back to Fillmore street. This same rule will apply to certain transfers that are given on transfers from Market street to westbound cars. NEW CARS BEING MADE READY Preparations are being made to put nine new cars into service tomorrow. A consignment of ten more of the new cars is due here Tuesday, and as fast as they can be made ready for opera- tion they will be placed in commission. The street repair gangs have been active during the week and repairs have been made in Haight street and in Valencia street. The company has assured the street car committee of the Grand Jury that within six weeks most of the street work will have been com- pleted and the car service as a whole vastly improved. The traffic to and from the Mission has increased so rapidly that conditions on the lines tapping that section have been very much aggravated. Without a materfal betterment of the service the cars will not be able to handle more than half of the business offered them. THe good weather has resulted in thousands of men who live in the Mission going to work on new buildings downtown and the strain on the car lines has reached the limit. The com- pany says that it will give attention to the Mission section as soon as pos- sible and may place some of the new cars on that route next weelg Several minor accidents occurred yes- terday, one at Market and Eddy streets, when Thomas Elder, a carpenter, fell from a car as it was going around a curve and was run over by a buggy. He was not injured beyond a few scratches. George MecLaren, driver of a United States mail wagon, was in- jured severely in a collision of his vehicle with a McAllister-street car at Gough street. The brakes on the car did not work and failed to stop the heavy conveyance when the mail man drove across the tracks. The wagon was demolished and McLaren thrown violently to the street. He was cut about the head and recelved first aid in a nearby drugstore. CLAIM DISCRIMINATION Mechanics who live over the county line in San Mateo County are complain- ing of discrimination on the part of the railroad company. The county line is about 400 yards nearer the city than | Daly’s hill and until recently workmen have not been charged an extra nickel for the ride of a short distance into San Mateo. Daly’s hill is at the fork of two roads, one of which reaches the city by way of Ocean View and the other by way of the Mission. It is reported that the extra fare is col- lected only on the Mission line. Con- ductors have been having trouble col- lecting the fares. 4 _—e————— MILLIONS STARVING IN RUSSIA ‘WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.—Through the Russian embassy in this city, Secretary of State Vrassokol, and Plenipotentiary of the Russian famine rellef committee, has transmitted an appeal to the Amer- ican people for financial assistance to aid starving peasants, who number into first wife.” the millions.
