FLINT'S ATTITUDE
PUZZLES MACHINE
Refusal to Run Again When Fat
"Fees" Are Offered Startles
Organization
Withdrawal Complicates Situa
tion and New Candidate
Is Discussed
GEORGE A. VAN SMITH
Senator Frank , Flint's refusal to
make the race for re-election in
spite of a guaranty of "fees" more than
sufficient \to meet the expenses of an
extravagant senatorial primary cam
paign' involves a problem too difficult
for the practical men of the organiza
tion.
"W". F. Herri n is in southern Califor
nia. He may unravel the tangled skein.
Meanwhile the politicians lined up with
the organization are of the opinion
that . Frank Flint's formal announce
ment of his retirement- from the senate
is final; that Flint is really out of the
running and that anew candidate must
be developed in southern California.
The possible if not probable compli
cation of the political situation by
Flint's withdrawal is the smallest cause
for the politician's bewilderment. It
is Flint's refusal to avail himself of
the softest campaign fund -lever of
fered a- California candidate that has
stunned them temporarily.
CAMPAIGN PU.VD URGED
It was generally conceded by the
wise ones of the bachine that Flint's
informal declaration of an Intention
to quit was merely a bid for the ante.
They thought that the junior senator
did not relish taking the safety pin
out of his own roll to make a'state
wide primary campaign.
-The word was passed to the citrus
fruit men that the state could not af
ford to lose the services of their "best
friend" in the senate. It .was up to
the friends of the administration gen
erally, and the citrus fruit interests
particularly, to see that Flint had a
campaign fund. It was also under
stood that if the citrus fruit people
would come through with a pot with
which to make a front and emphasize
the "demand" upon the senator's pa
triotism, ample funds would be forth
coming from other interests.
And so it was done. There was little
of the "rough stuff" that could give
offense to senatorial dignity. It is told
of several persons that direct offers of
cash contributions ranging from $1,000
up were made. Flint refused them.
The big scheme .was one which none
believed the senator would put away.
He was to be retained in a number of
cases. That the cases did or did not
involve an aggregate of $4.50 is beside
the question. They were cases that
would, not interfere with the duties of
the senator and the fees— well, the
fees wotild be sufficient to pay for a
corking campaign. \u25a0 \u25a0
HAS SUFFERED I,OSSES x
On top of that offer Flint has broken
into print with ;a formal\ declaration
of his withdrawal from public ' life.
Those who are in a position, to know
something of Flint's business relations
say that he has suffered losses incident
to the shriveling of some of his Los
Angeles Investments arid that he has
preserved the appearances which come
high in Washington. These men were
of the the opinion, however,"that Flint
had not overlooked the opportunity
that most senators close to Aldrich
have for making* good guesses at the
market. Now they are prepared to
believe either that he is broke or that
he has made so much money that he
can not afford to associate with a lot of
senators. In any event, FHnt_s_ays it is
up to him to get back into business
•harness and the politicians have come
around to th 6 belief that he really
means it.
Acceptance of Flint's announcement
as final has not resulted in the discus
sion of a large number of probable can
didates. Lee Richardson of Los An
geles has been advanced to the men
tioned class, and Lee C. Gates of Los
Angeles will undoubtedly be the Lin
coln-Roosevelt league candidate. , .._
IIEURI.N'S RETUIW AWAITED
Pending the return of W. F. Herri n
from Los Angeles the date for the as
sembling of the state central commit
tee is problematical. If his, plans, are
not complete when he returns that
date will remain problematical for a
while.. And incidentally some *of the
regulars in offlco who hope to succeed
themselves would shed no tears if there
was no committee meeting for a long
time. They are not bursting with
anxiety about a meeting which in some
quarters is expected to ; name a ticket
or arrange for a convention which will
name a ticket. They would be quite
content to go into the primary race as
mere republicans. They are of ' the
opinion that a sufficient 'number of
voters will dub them machinists any
how, without going to any trouble to
insure that sort of thing througli a
"regular" label.
Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court Sloss is to be the beneficiary of
the Lincoln-Roosevelt league's supreme
court program. Regard for Justice
Sloss figures in thafprogram, but the
desire to get the scalp of Justice Mel
vin is even a larger factor. The
leaguers do not hope to get two mem
bers \u25a0of the supreme court. They .be
lieve that by plumping, for Sloss they
can beat Mel viri with a southern Cali
fornia candidate.: . :
Superior Judge C. D. Wilbur Is the
man picked by the leaguers to- turn the
trick. . Southern California has been
agitated for two. years over its failure
to secure :largor representation ~ on -the
supreme bench. The Los, Angeles anti
machino contingent made abig.-bld for
a;r place when Melvln; was nominated
two years ago. They believe'that they
can hold the anti-organization vote
throughout the state for Wilbur, that
the geographical position will enable
him to break into the, regular vote -in
the south and that ; ; by plumping for
Sloss they can, push Melvln into third
place and oft the supreme bench. ; .-T-r

GROCERY AND RESTAURANT
DESTROYED IN SANTA ROSA
Scene after explosion in Santa Rosa, showing damage to buildings.
EXPLOSION WRECKS
TWO SMALL STORES
Grocery and Restaurant Are
Destroyed and Two Men
Seriously Injured
[Special Dispatch to The Call]
SANTA ROSA, Feb. B.— With a ter
rific explosion which startled the entire
city about 8:30 this morning the gro
cery, conducted by William A. Gale
and a restaurant conducted by John A.
White were wrecked and two men
seriously injured. The peculiar part of
the accident Is the fact that no fire
followed the explosion.
The grocery and restaurant buildings
were one story, the grocery the prop
erty of Mrs. Clara D. White and the
restaurant of John A. White, her hus
band. The couple are separated after
considerable domestic troubles which
were aired in the courts.
Gale had been in the grocery for
more than half an hour and had a coal
oil stove burning, when he was joined
by Thomas L. Coffey, who has a marble
cutting establishment near by. Coffey
was approaching the counter when the
explosion; wrecked the entire struc^
ture and buried both men in the debris.
DIOHUJKS BIIUESMEV
Gale was the first to extricate him
self and he escaped with a few bruises
about the head. After the dust had
cleared Coffey was able to crawl out
of the building through the roof. PIIs
left ankle was badly crushed and the
leg to the knee was paralyzed. He was
removed to his home, where Dr. A. B.
Herrick dressed his injuries. He may
be a cripple for life.
-In the restaurant Thomas Heap, a
stranger here, was awaiting his break
fast when the explosion occurred. He
was also buried in the debris and when
removed it was found that his back
was injured and the left kidney had
been torn loose. He was taken to the
county hospital and cared for by Dr.
S. S. Bogle.
COOK ESCAPED INJURY
A negro woman cook escaped un
harmed.
The Vendome hotel, a two story
building adjoining the restaurant,
owned by C. A. White, was slightly
damaged, but the two story home of
Dr. Julian H. Rankin, adjoining the
grocery, was not damaged. t
Gale says that he notified the gas
company, yesterday that . there was a
leak -;.'on the premises, but that no at
tention was given the matter.
While workmen were opening the
street to reach the gas main a pick
struck fire and ignited escaping gas a
couple of times during the morning. ;
Then the workmen reported that the
supply should be shut off. The company
prepared to do so and notified Peta
luma. This brought a protest from the
poultrymen, who said that 250^000 eggs
in incubators were dependent upon the
gas for heat. The repairs were com
pleted without cutting off the gas.
OWNER FINDS FLAW IN V
TITLE TO REAL ESTATE
To clear; a cloud from the title of a
piece of realty in Sacramento street
near Taylor he has owned more than
20 years, .William' Hogan has been put
to the trouble of applying to the su
perior court to appoint an administra
tor of the estate of David Paige,, who
died in San \ Francisco some 30 years
ago. Hogan's predecessors in interest
purchased the land from Paige,, b\it it
has now been discovered that although
Paige executed a quitclaim deed he
was not the absolute owner in fee of
the '\u25a0 property. Later/however,, Paige
got .full title to: the property, -but (\\&

GAS COMPANY MEN
GOOD AT FIGURES
Ask Higher Price for Product in
Face of Declining Market
on Ingredients
-'\u25a0•'\u25a0 v
President Britton and Engineer Jones
of the gas company gave the board of
supervisors some rapid fire mental
mathematics last night. Last year they
asked for a dollar gas rate because they
had to pay $1 a. barrel for oil. Last
night they sought to show that with oil
at 83 cents a barrel they ought to get
?I.VI for their gas.
The proceedings'were opened with an
address by Britton, In which he asserted
that, notwithstanding its claims for the
higher figure, the company would be
satisfied with the dollar rate.
"We want this board of supervisors to
feel," said Britton, *'that the gas com
pany is not like the ordinary run of
public service corporations. We want
you to feel that we are as zealous for
the welfare of the city as yourselves.
We want only what is fair. We have
never sought anything that was not
fair.
"You will notice from our report that
we have valued our plant at ?13, 000,000.
Your expert, Mr. Hunt, has placed the
value at $9,000,000. We expect to show
you that if we could get a return only
on Mr. Hunt's valuation we would still
be entitled to the dollar rate. Our books
are open for investigation and you are
at liberty to examine them.
"Our company has been in business
for half a century. The company has
voluntarily reduced rates. When it
reached the dollar figure, however, it
felt that it could not go below that.
"The price of oil to our company is to
be reduced to 83 cents, beginning in
July. This will represent a saving of 4
or 4% cents for every thousand feet of
gas. This, however, will not reduce the
values to a point below the require
ment of a dollar rate."
Britton then spoke at length upon
the friendly relations between the com
pany and its employes, stating that it
paid higher wages than other corpora
tions and purchased all its supplies in
San Francisco.
It was brought out that the Metro
politan gas company obtains its oil at
42 cents a barrel. It was shown also
that the San Francisco gas and electric
company sells in some quarters as low
as 60 cents per 1,000.
E. C. Jones, the company's engineer,
asserted that in his. opinion a just rate
would bejl.ll.
Dr. George K. Frink^ entered a com
plaint against the electric light service
Financial statements were filed by
the San Francisco gas and electric
company, the Mutual electric light com
pany, the Metropolitan light and power
company and the City electric company.
The statement of the San Francisco
gas and electric company shows total
receipts for the last year of $2,517,
997.06.' The sum of $317,574.25, repre
senting' the 15 per cent collected under
injunction, is not included. The com
pany states that it was allowed only
3 per cent upon its Investment under
the' So cent rate. .*X
WILL OF E. J. BENEDICT : ,
IS FILED FOR PROBATE
The will of Egbert J. Benedict, the
young capitalist who died at the Fair
mont hotel February S. 1910, was filed

tate, sald.to be worth about $1,000,000,

Hays took his release with indiffer
ence. He had been told early in the
afternoon that he would be out of the
jail before 8 o'clock and during the last
hour of his Imprisonment he remained
in the corridor of the jail talking. to
friends. He said:
"I will not do any talking until after
the police court hearings are over.
After the preliminary hearings I will
talk, and I will do some talking that
will make a sensation. I have papers
In my possession t that will prove con
clusively that Clarence Grange was re
sponsible for the failure of the Union
state bank ofilcials to curry through
the National Bank of the Pacific deal,
and I will be able to show that we were

they went into consultation for several
hours. The hearing of the rharges
against Hajs will come up tomorrow

proved by Policy Judge Shortall.

PITIFUL CASE OF
SKIN DISEASE
When Two Months 0!d, Baby had
Pimples Spread All Over Body-
Broke and Left Skin Like a Scald
—An Awful Sight— Doctor Afraid V
to Put His Hands on the Child. 'J
CURED AT SLIGHT COST
BY CUTICURA REMEDIES
" Our baby when two months old wast
suffering with terrible eczema from head
/gZT~~^. to foot, all over

1 - J baby looked just
\ >J*'£ — like a skinned

though it were scalds. Then a few
more pimples would appear and gpread
all over the body leavinj: the baby all
raw without skin from head to foot.
On top of her head there appeared a
heavy scab a quarter of an inch thick. It
was awful to see so small a baby look as
she did. Imagine! The doctor was afraid
to put his hands to the child. We tried
several doctors* remedies but all failed.
"Then we decided to try Cuticura.
By using the Cuticura Ointment we
softened the scab and it came off. Under
this, where the real matter was, by
washing with the Cuticura Scap a*nd
applying the Cuticura Ointment, a new
ekin soon appeared. We also save baby
four drops of the Cuticura Resolvent
three times daily. After three days you
could see the body gaining a little skin
which would peel off and heal under-
neath. Now the baby ia four months
old. She is a fine picture cf a fat little
baby and all is well. We only used one
cake of Cuticura Soap, two boxes of
Cuticura Ointment and one bottle of
