2 three ' miles out of Pieta, . in one of Ihe: jnost precipitous gorges of this eectJon: The 25 foot plunge came as a. f . finale of a runaway, in which £>rlver R. F. Johnston lost control of his team and either Jumped or jyas dragged from his seat, leaving the occupants of, the stage to. their .fate. Most of them « were thrown out before the vehicle upset, others Jumped, and the.r oad along which the runaway stage had passed was strewn with men and women, more or less injured, and their belongings. - The vehicle was drawn by four young horses, three of which were being taken over the road for the first time. Their fr&ctlousness caused trouble. all along the route, according to several of the passengers, and no one seems to know exactly what started them on their flight. All the animals were badly hurt in the tangle of harness and wrecked vehicle, and some of them may be shot. . The worst injured of the passengers were picked up by a passing rig that brought word Into Pleta of the acci dent. A team was sent out to bring in the remaining ones, with their bag- Rage. Temporary medical treatment was given those who needed it most, and all of them left either for this city or for their homes elsewhere. When the wagon ran over a rock half way in its flight down the hill the Whlteman baby was thrown froca his mother's arms and struck on his head. Mrs. 'vThiteman also was thrown out, but escaped serious Injury. The baby's Injuries are believed to be fataL B. H. Filer, a Santa Rosan, who was seated beside the driver, said that Johnston Jumped when he could' no longer restrain his horses. Other pas sengrers bore out Flier's statement. Johnston denied the ch'afge. He had held to the lines and had been dragged several yards after being removed from his scat, he asserted. "GO TO H — L" HEPLY OF DEVLIN TO QUESTIONS Continued From Pare 1, Column 1. heard regarding the situation. Suits against the Southern Pacific are now pending in the federal courts. There «re on the calendar a large number of cases charging the company with vio lation of the law that prohibits keeping Rattle too long a time in cars without food or water. Although Devlin most likely will not appear in court to prosecute these oases, they will be handled at his di rection by his assistants. It •Is pointed out by friends of Dev lin that this state of affairs is .likely ' to lead critics to question Ills ability to forget while working for one master that he Is the servant of another. His position, they say, la one that takes a delicate hand at the J;elm in order to steer clear of the shoals that abound In the sea of legal and moral ethics. It was about a year ago the United States attorney spent several days in Sacramento, where the law offices of Devlin & Devlin are located, appearing for the railroad people in the fight they were making to absorb the bulk of Sac ramento's water front. Bitter adverse comment was made on his action by the Sacramento Bee. Devlin was called a Hessian who had returned to despoil the town that had given him his start in life. He was reminded that he did not need the money that his advocacy of the corporation had earned for him. He was reminded, too, that his time had been bought by the government for a substantial yearly salary. Within a fortnight District Attorney Devlin's firm at Sacramento, "of which lie is the senior member, appeared be fore -the "board of trustees of that city in behalf of the Southern Pacific com* pany against the granting of certain freight carrying privileges to the Northern electric company, and only a month or two previously, when a mat ter of similar character was being op posed by his firm at the behest of the Harriman corporation, the district at torney himself found it convenient to take a trip to the capital. CLT IX TWO BY CAR •An unidentified man was run down and cut in two by a Folsom street car at Fifth street last night. W. Miller., the motorman, was arrested and charged with manslaughter, although he and -his conductor, A. S. Mason, the sole witnesses to the accident, declare that the victim deliberately walked across the tracks in front of the ap proaching car. and that the accident was unavoidable. The body was re moved to the morgue. r \u25a0\u2666*: \u25a0-- HURT IX COLLISION Charles Woodlelgh of Third and Har rison streets was knocked from the seat of his wagon by an Eddy-and El lis street car at Ellis and Pierce streets last night and badly hurt.". He was taken to the central emergency hospital. His ' right shoulder was broken, and the physicians believe.: he . was injured internally. L.

Gordon, Lesser's Father in Law, Arrested by the .Police HOAG IS IN HIDING Nevada Fugitive, Who Goes Under Name of W. P. , Oaks, Fails to Appear of the most unscrupulous and largest distributors of fake lottery tickets was arrested yesterday after noon when iR. Gordon, alias Joseph Gardner, was arrested and taken to Jail by Patrolmen Colen and Welch. They located the man at 1724 Sutter street and secreted themselves in- the doorway. After a long wait Gordon stepped out. As soon as he saw the police he tried to Jump back Into: the house. He succeeded, but a policeman's foot prevented the door from shutting and the officers pursued him through the house. ' They. caught him finally in the cor ridors and took him to Jail. His pock ets were crammed with lottery coupons. He was booked- at the Bush street sta tion. ' • Captain Anderson feels highly grati fied at the capture, as Gordon, alias Gardner, is one of the most notorious lottery sharps in the city an«J has been able to ply his crooked business for a long time. . , Gordon •is Harry Leaser's father in law. When Lesser went over to the M. & F. company two years ago he turned over two small lottery con cerns called the JU-.&. L.^ companies to Gordon. Nothing is too small for the lottery sharps to overlook and these were "10 cent" companies formed to steal the dimes of messenger boys and others who could not afford to yield from '25 cents to %l for an alleged chance. : . <\u25a0\u25a0* BUSINESS CRIPPLED What' time Gordon had left from counting dimes he put in at seeing that lottery tickets were properly printed by the Golden State printing company, though he was not intrusted wiOi-the Job of selecting numbers for capital prizes. His business has been badly crippled since the campaign en couraged by The Call has been firing large shells Into the demoralized camp bf'the lottery trust, and Gordon has not been seen much around his Sutter street establishment. The first time he made an appearance was yesterday and 'he was arrested. Another frightened dealer is W. P. Oaks, whose, real name Is John Hoag. Hoag has not been seen at his estab lishment at 1507 Fillmore street for five days. He is in hiding, but it is not be lieved he has left the city. He will be arrested. as soon as he Is iound and his place is under constant surveillance. Hoag has placed two hirelings in charge of the place, preferring to see them arrested rather than their boss, but the police want Hoag, alias Oaks, and declare they will get him. HOAG XEVADA. FUGITIVE Hoag chose Oaks for a name when he came to this state unceremoniously some time ago from the sagebrush of Nevada. He was wanted there to ex plain peculiar business methods he had employed. Flight .was so much more simple and expedient than explanation that he chose the better part of valor and skipped, at the same time changing his name. The police say that if the police judges follow up the crusade against lottery swindlers by Imposing maxi mum sentences there will: be no diffi culty In making the thieving operations so hazardous that tne.'-M... &\u25a0 F. com pany and its associates In the lottery trust will go out of business.

"I am speaking of his general: character. His reputation at the post is not considered good by 1 his fellow officers.

After telling of the loss of. sheep . in the semiarld regions through the destruction of their eye sight by thorns ; of the cactus, he went on to detail his work In seeking, to de velop a. thornless variety of !the plant. ••Fifteen years ago," said Burbank. "I was examining and studying forage plants for dry regions, to see what im provement could be ' made upon them, and it ; struck me that the cactus if the thorns could be taken off. would be one of -the best, v if not the best, of all plants for desert culture. : I gathered all the cactus of all kinds. I secured them from the best that I could find, from . my collectors in South • Africa and Mexico; and I gathered them from north Africa,, where the cactus has been some what cultivated for the use of camels. This is a partially thornless variety. There are two or three others. I found byjralsing them from seed that 99 out of JIOO would",be thorny. A few were partially, thorny. They had not yet ac quired 1 the habit of leaving, oft the thorns., But once in a while one would be found among -thousands that would have less thorns than the parent. Tak ing, that one and raising thousands and thousands of seedlings l produced some that were absolutely thornless. I j "Now,' I wished to get a cactus • that would produce a great amount of nour ishment. Of course," my first object was to get a thornless, then next to get an individual which would produce a great weight of, forage to the acre. That has been very well accomplished. I have a cactus that wll produce 200 tons of food per acre. " Now beets, carrots, turnips a'n^| cabbage, almost anything culti vated In the soil, produces about 20 tons per acre for a good crop, while some of the old^r cactus will produce about 100 tons. My object is to combine this great productiveness with great nutri tion, and my opinion la that the cactus then .will be the most important plant there is on earth for arid regions. 1 And I have not the least doubt of securing that." \u25a0\u25a0'\u25a0 OIL TRUST PROSECUTION GRANTS ANOTHER DELAY Taking Testimony Against It Is Put Off Until September 17 \u25a0.NEW YORK, Sept. 5. — Another post ponement, of testimony against the Standard ;01l company of New' Jersey and affiliated concerns was ordered to day by. former Judge Franklin Ferris of St. Louis, who is acting as examiner for the federal court. The hearing is now scheduled for September 17, and it Is said there will be no delay be yond that date. : The adjournment was requested by the attorneys for the defendant com panies and joined in by the special counsel representing the government. It was granted to give the Standard time to prepare statements from its books and . redc-rds, which are desired by those in charge of ' the prosecution. These' statements, it was" claimed, would -do away * wfth' the necessity ' of bringing {all the books of the various companies to the federal building and would .ultimately expedite the hearing. The testimony to be taken in New York will be. largely of a documentary character Vand will be reported back to* the" United States circuit court in St. Louis, where the government . suit to dissolve the so called oil trust was brought. \". ''\u25a0' Special- Attorney Frank B. Kellogg said today that the government does not waive the production of -the books and 'documents in question If they are deemed necessary, and that' the right ": to verify the statements from the company's books is reserved. Jewelry valued because of its ; associa tions, has remained lost and all efforts of the police and the school board sec retary to locate it have proved unavail ing.
