FAVORITE SON BOOMS
FAVORED BY PRESIDENT
Politicians Discuss CHarige
kof Front on Part of
White House
TAFT STILL FAVORED
Roosevelt as Firm as Ever
in Loyalty to the War
Secretary
.SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.
WASHINGTON, May 24. — There has
teen more or less talk among politi
cians here over what seems to be a
change of front on the part of the
White House toward favorite son
fcoom.s. These booms are no longer
looked upon with disfavor. The presi
dent is being quoted as not opposed
to the Cannon boom and as saying iaat
the nomination of Senator Knox would
be entirely acceptable to him.
This is a change of front on the part
of the White House. A few weeks
ago the country was startled by the
"livo million conspiracy" etory. The
conspiracy was taking the form of fa
vorite son booms, the country was in
formed, and the Roosevelt policies and
the Roosevelt administration were to
b<? downed through this medium.
It was stated at that time that the
conspiracy was to use the name of Sen
ator Knox to further their schemes.
Tho. plot was also traced to Illinois,
where a Cannon presidential boom waa
under way. Yesterday Representative
Earchfteld and several other Pennsyl
vania politicians called on the presi
dent and talked national politics.
Knox's name came up in connection
with the nomination, and the visitors
declare that the president expressed
;rreat admiration for the Junior senator
and said in unequivocal terms that his
nomination would be acceptable to him.
. Speaker Cannon has been at the
White House a great deal of late, and
it has been learned that no effort will
be made by the administration to
hamper the Cannon boom.
These developments have caused a
few of the friends of Secretary Taft to
wonder whether the president is weak
ening in his advocacy of the Ohio man.
From statements made to The Call cor
respondent today by a person in the.
confidence of the president It appears
that the president is as firmly in favor
of Secretary Taft as ever.
'The president does not want to put
all his eggs into one basket," said this
official. "He believes that Taft will
make the best possible candidate the
party could name, but he realizes also
that events may render his nomination
impossible, although just now the
president believes that he will be the
convention's choice. But the president
admits that there are other available
men, although they do not meet his
idea of the requirements so well as
Taft.-'

STINGS OF BEES CAUSE
WALKOUT OF PAINTERS
f^BEKKEEET, May 24.— The paint
ers working on -the- botany building at
the* university .went ,on strike for a
while this \u25a0 morning— not because of
disagreement over "hours, wages or
union rules, but on account of. .the
presence of eight swarms of bees that
had made their home under the big
cornices . and had packed the inter
stices with' honey. The bees stung the
jpainters and so of course the painters
refused to work while the bees were
there.-
•••- E. A- Hugill, superintendent of the
buildings, told the painters that if they
would help him he would drive the
bees away, but the painters wouldn't
do that. Just then Dr.. A. F. Glllihan,
state bacteriologist, drove up in his
buggy and his attention and advice
were asked by the superintendent.
The sight reminded Dr. Gillihan of
old days when he was a. boy on the
.homa .taxm. ... He to .tackle the
Job at once. So he and the superin
tendent' took a lot of sulphur with
them and climbed the ladder to. where
the bees were buzzing. They, were
stung, too, as the painters had been,
but they would not retreat and re
mained there all forenoon and fought
the bees with sulphur smoke.
When all the bees had been driven
away, or smoked into a state of un
consciousness the ; doctor . and superin
tendent jobbed ±he stores the bees had
stored under the cornices. They ob
tained 200 pounds of .first class comb
honey and thought* that their morning
had been well spent.
Then the painters went back to
work.

the Pullman company,' in which .various
northwestern railroad -lines < are- made
co-defendants, by; George S.sLoftus,; a
business man of StiPaul. Loftus avers
that* in the course of his business he is
obliged r Ho' travel 'from .: \u25a0 St. Paul to

BUDGET IS APx _.OVED
Few Changes Are Made in
Plans Mapped Out by

The grand jury abandoned the trail
of the grafters for; a time yesterday
to continue the workiof examining the
municipal budget as \u25a0prepared by the
supervisors, and ?to • making recom
mendations as to. the distribution of
the Ifunds which will be available to
carry .on the j city \ government during
the fiscal ; year. ; ' \u25a0 .
Few .changes from the budget, as
submitted ; by: the : finance committee, of
which /Supervisor Gallagher is chair
man, • were recommended.
:; District Attorney,* Langdon appeared
before the grand Jury, and, in response
to his appeal,- an additional* (100,000
over the figure named by the' super
visors, was granted for, school teachers',
salaries. This .will 'raise "wages \u25a0of
grammar and primary teachers about
15 per cent. , ; 'A
/The- appropriation : for the depart
ment of electricity was cut 20 per cent;
that of the 'board of ; public works will
remain; about what it /was last year,
as will, most of the municipal depart
ments. :On the whole, the grand Jury
found little fault .with the as
submitted, by the. supervisors.'
. A effort will be made to
keep\the",tax levy at the. dollar, mark.
It, -was' the .opinion of the grand jury
that it fcould be'^done, iat : least", so far
as' regular;: expenses were concerned.
Additional, costs -for: new schools and
sewersrhay carry, the rate to ?1.20, but
not higher. " ' - ":'\u25a0 \ '.-".:
An increase : iln the city's tax valua
tion of $35,000,000 was? noted. Last
year taxable property in; San Francisco
amounted.; to $375,000,000. This year
that figure has grown -to "J410.000.000.
On a dollar basis this will produce an
Income 'of $4,100,000, which,, with an
estimated income, of ~ 52,000,000 more
from ; licenses and fees, will; give \u25a0•- a
total income to the city" of more than
$6,000,000/ The- various departments
nave j asked for sums which aggregate
$12,000,000. and the grand': jury, with
the supervisors, is ' doing the shaving
of the demands to meet the supply.

MAY LET SANTA FE IN
ON S. P. WATER FRONT
Companies Parley on Plan
to Have Joint Tracks
. to Big Factories
WOULD AID OAKLAND
Traffic Agreement Might
Break "tHe Monopoly
in Harbor Use
OAKLAND. May 24.— Negotiations
are pending between the Southern Pa
cific and the Santa Fe railroad com
panies and the large manufacturing
interests along the East Oakland water
front by which. It Is expected, the two
railway corporations will shortly reach
an agreement on the interchange of
freight routed over the roads by Oak
land shippers. - - -
The plan under consideration, and
said to be nearly worked -out. provides
for the establishing at the Santa. Fe
freight yards at North Oakland, ot
transfer tracks, over which freight
cars consigned to shippers, either In
bound or outbound, now reached ex
clusively by Southern Pacific tracks,
could be transferred to and from the
Santa Fe yards for the benefit of both
lines. In short, that the monopoly held
by the Southern Pacific along the south
harbor front of Oakland, so far as track
age is concerned, would be brokan.
* It is understood that the negotia
tions have reached a point where an
agreement has been virtually arranged
under which the Santa Fe.will gain
the right to move freight consigned tn
carload lots to any consignee on th&
Southern Pacific tracks along- the har
bor. This would require the con
struction of transfer tracks at the
Santa Fe yards* by which the cars
could be .taken from Santa Fe tracks
| to the Southern Pacific lines.
These negotiations are being con
ducted on the theory that such an ar-.
rangement Is contemplated between
railroads fdr shippers' benefit under
the interstate commerce law as en
1 acted by the last congress. ' •
This disposition of transfer follows
', as a result in a great measure of the
fight which was made by the East
Oakland manufacturers, headed by TV.
, J. Casey of the Union gas engine com
. pany. against the construction by the
Southern Pacific company in East Oaß
\u25a0 land of exclusive spur tracks into the
large plants In that district. The con
1 test led to the organization of th«
1 Union belt line railway, later to the
' expansion into a general movement on
•' the part of the railroads to meet the
1 demand for "open switching" prlvi
1 leges. "Then on top of all s this came
• the Western Pacific railway with Its
> applications for franchises for a line
1 through the city south of the South
• era Pacific's main line In First street.
[ Again the Western Pacific, the Santa
• Fe and the Key Route made appllca
' tlon _ for franchises in "Wood street,
c skirting the western city front. These
are In various stages before the city
5 council.
