The Job was put through with the votes of fourteen Supervisors and despite a vigorous protest made by Supervisor O'Neil, who said the track was too long to be called a “spur track” and there was no necessity for it. “I do not think that this application for a spur track has been made in good faith,” said O'Neil. *I have looked over the ground and T belleve that it is a plece of railroad strategy to shut out the Western Pacific Company from the territory to be traversed.” Chief Shaughnessy of the Fire De- partment had protested against the permit because the track would inter- fere with thé apparatus of an engine house located in Bluxome street. ‘When the vote was taken on the or- dinance O’'Neil, Rea and Tveitmoe were the only Supervisors who voted against it, a previous motion to refer the mat- ter to the street committee having been lost. ; The board agaln postponed action for one week on ordinances providing for seven permits for as many proposed pur tracks to connect with the main line of the Santa Fe Company. President Duffey of the Works Board informed the Supervisors that the company named had not paild for the expense of tearing up the debris tracks on Spear street. The spur tracks, which must await the payment of Duffey's bill, were as follows: Transcontinental Freight Compeny, Rhode Island, Fifteenth and Alameda streets; A.

PHommedieu The speclal traln of - automobiles which left Chicago for a hurried trip to San Francisco has arrived. There will be a lot of activity around the | freight sheds this morning. The deal- ers are all eager to see what thelr 1807 models look like. TUntil the cars have to go to the show there will be Individual exhibitions along auto- mobile row. Business has been slow along the line and the arrival of the cars will stimulate trade. 4 The cars that have arrived by ex- press and by early freight have shown a marked Improvement over the models of last year. They have a more imposing appearance as well. It can be seen by a glance at these auto- mobiles why deliveries have been so late. The manufacturers had so changed thir designs as to. necessitate mbch more labor to turn out the ve- hicles. The Boyer Motor Car Company re- ceived three Royals by express yester- day afternoon. The cars caused a sen- sation when they went up Golden Gate avenue, especially one which was painted & bright red, with black strip- ing. This car is the most attractive that has been seen here this season. The Mauvis Motor Car Company has its new Henie-Velox cars on the floor of the salesroom. This California pro- duction has made a favorable im- pression with all who have investi- gated it. It is of pleasing lines and the motor has power and strength, with a lightness thax distinguishes it from all others. The Pope-Hartfords on exhibition in the salesrooms of the Hovey-Boushey Company show an improvemeéent over the 1906 cars. This shipment was re- ceived a few days ago, and since then all of the machines have been sold, but they are being held for exhibition pur= poses. The 1907 six-evlinder Ford -rrlve(k yesterday. The car reminds one of a large locomotive. It has power iIn every line. The car was taken out through the park by Manager Jack Stoner, with George Emmons and Nat Hewson in the tonmeau. It has one of the prettiest engines ever turned out by the Ford company. Stoner is looking for an opportunity to win hon- ors in a race from Los Angeles. He is willing to enter the Ford runabout in a race with the Oldsmobile and the Pope-Hartford. © M. Silva, who won so many of the prizes at the Gymkhana games at Del Monte, has joined the selling force of the Standard Motor Car Company and will hereafter direct his attention to selling Fords and Acmes. The aerocar runabouts for 1907 show up this year as very attractive cars. The French gray coloring, with red leather seats and top, make it a striking vehicle. Three of them are on exhibition in the salesroom of Free- man, Brewster & McCabe on Golden Gate avenue. ——— TOUR OF COLLEGE NINE OAKLAND, Feb. 11.—The baseball team of St. Mary's College will start on March 24 on a trip through the south- ern part of the State.

H % _ THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, A nado William Maitland Was a Friend of Vine- yardists LOTLef Tl TLANLR —_— No man had the future of the wine Industry of the State more at heart than William Maitland of this city, who dled at the Brevoort Hotel in New York on Saturday night. Maitland owned a promising vineyard in BSanta - Cruz County and after putting in years de- veloping a fine quality of wine grapes he discovered that it was diffioult to find an Eastern market for a strictly pure California wine. In recent years he gave up his endeavor to form a pure wine association, and while he cast no reflection upon the standard brands of California wine he averred that the stock shipped Bast in bulk was not a credit to the BState, as it contained a high percentage of burned sugar and aclds. He told his secret to many of his friends and it was his intention to have placed the matter before the proper authorities in Wash- ington when his untimely death inter- posed to prevent his intended cam- paign. Maitland was one of the heroes de- veloped by the earthquake disaster of last year. He was in San Jose at the time of the shake and at once engaged an automobile to convey him to San Franeisco. When near Agnew Asylum he met a courfer who was summoning assistance to the helpless inmates of that institutlon. Abandoning his San Francisco belongings, including an in- valuable library of classical works, to the flames, he hurried to the asylum and there for sixteen hours toiled valiently in relieving the injured ma- niacs and caring for the dead. He left without having given his name, and nohe at the institution knew the iden- tity of the gallant old gentleman who had rendered such splendid service. Maitland, while Sheriff of Bombay, India, has made such a thorough study of prison conditions t§at he became FEBRUARY 12, 1907. an authority on penologh, contributing to old-world perfodicals many valuable treatises upon this subject.

Tum Suden said that he was willing to admit that Chief Dinan’s action in stationing a po- liceman to protect Gray Bros.' workmen from the angered neighborhood was in- fluenced by a desire to preserve the peace, but that in spite of this Dinan should be warned by the court and censured for what he had done.
