Phipps. who lost his life in the French camp wreck, was one of the veteran engineers in the Southern Pacific employ. Within n few weeks he would have been eli gible for pension, having served for about 30 years, nearly all that time on Southern Pacific runs. He was engineer on one of the trains held up by Sontag and Evans, the cele brated handits. many years ago, and has figured in railroad life in this part of the state since then as rather a uniquo character. He was one of the hest known and mo« popular engineers here. Out of respect to his memory Leland Stanford division No. 283. Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, to whfrch Phipps belonged, met this evening and adjourned five minutes later. A committee was appointed to take charge of funeral arrangements for the division. Phiprxs left a widow, two daughters and a son. Stanley Phipps. also a Southern Pacific engineer. He lived at 1044 Magnolia street. SANTA CRUZ WINS SUIT FOR WHARF Judge Smith Holds That Fran chise Claimed by S. P. Is Unauthorized [Special Dispaich to The Call] SANTA CRUZ. Feb. 23. — Santa Cruz won a signal victory over the Southern P.i< iflc today, when Judge Lucas F. Smith rendered, his decision in a suit over the possession of the railroad wharf and contiguous water frontage. This case has been hanging fire for year*. The city denied that the rail road had any right to the wharf. Judge Smith holds that the railroad has no title to the wharf for the reason that the original franchise was not law fully s*>curt»d by the i^anta Oruz and F«-U<-in railroad in 1875. in compliance with tlif state laws. He said: "It is clear that the town authorities had no right to grant sucli a franchise without complying with the laws of th*> state, and there is no evidence here showing or tending to show that the Santa Cruz and Felton railroad, or any of its assignees, the other defend ants herein, evor acquired such a right undpr the laws of the state." An aft of congress passed July 23. 1566. and an act of the state legislature ot 1572 are cited to substantiate the city's claim to the water front. "I have carefully examined the said act of congress, also that of the state legislature." Paid Judge Smith, "and I am' fully convinced that they vested in the city of Santa Cruz a valid legal; tiTlf to the lands here in controversy." ', This decision if sustained by higher courts will entitle the city to the own ership of th<* wharf, for the judge says, "Wither ran 1 agree with the counsel that the action as brought by the plain tiff is not the proper remedy, for the reason that the city of Santa Cruz is the owner of the legal title, and as such can maintain an action of eject ment for any infringement of its right to the premises in question." RETRIAL BRINGS DEATH PENALTY — Second Degree Murder Verdict Set Aside and First Degree Conviction Follows [Specie/ Dispaich to The Call] SEW YOKK. Feb. 23.'— Edward F. McGrath. the- man for whom Supreme Court Justice Goff recently set aside a verdict of murder in the second de gree, was convicted today of murder in the first degree. If Robert H. Hibbard, his counsel, had not made a perfunctory motion for a new trial on the ground that the verdict was against the weight of evl <lm<e, McGrath would have escaped with a sentence to life imprisonment, but now he faces the electric chair. September 6 Benjamin Rose, an old man living at 411 West Twenty-third street, was found dead in his room, his throat cut. The next day McGrath, a young prizfighter. was arrested wear ing some of the clothes that had been taken from the dead man's room. His attempt to prove that he had been in Boston at the time of the mur der was unsuccessful. An interesting appeal in the case is expected. WOMEN MAY ENTER FIGHT FOR MAYOR Gossip Plans Novel Contest in Denver's Municipal Campaign Two Years Hence DENVER, Feb. 23. — A woman mayor for Denver. That is the gossip following last night's banquet of prominent Denver women to which no men were admit ted. The election is two- years off, but it is whispered that the advisability of having a woman candidate in the field — perhaps two of them — was not only discussed, but was advocated with en thusiasm. It i» asserted that more women than men voted In the last municipal elec tion in Denver; also that women offi cials who have held office in Colorado have proved efficient. One of these. Miss Katherine L. Craig, former state superintendent of public instruction, is mentioned as a probable nominee by the republicans. The gossips have already settled it that Mrs. Sarah Platt Decker will be the democratic nominee for mayor. Mrs. Dewey C Bailey is recognized as one of the most influential republican women of Colorado, but an obstacle ap peared in the way of her possibility as a candidate for mayor, as it is said the republicans are likely to name Mr Bailey for that office.* COLDS CAUSE HEADACHES Laxative BrdJno Quinine, the world wide Cold and Grip remedy, removes cause.

I am glad to f?i\ I. lhft °P e ration of the new tariff "111 has been so much more productive of Income that this deficit for the cur rent year is lfkely to be considerably reduced. In addition, however, to the ordinary deficit we have to add the Panama canal expenditure for immedi ate provision of the $38,000,000. "What «- a o S A/f«« n m , a . ted to be " a total deficit of *< 2.000.000 is now reduced considerably ?y? y !»?•.. tter rates under the present tariff bijl. Panama Canal Expenditures * By meeting the expenditures on the Panama caqal with the proceeds of bond issues "we have enough cash in the treasury to meet the deficit in our or dinary expenses for the current year and if we meet the expenditures on the Panama canal for the following year we shall have a surpuls of $35.000|000; or. If the revenue producing capacity pf the new tariff keeps up to Its present indications, this surplus may be in creased to $50,000,000. On the other hand, if the congress proposes to add to the expenditures of the government over those estimated for new enter prises in the river and liarbor bill and for the construction of the federal buildings under a building act. It will bo easy to consume or exceed the en tire surplus. - Every one must admit the wisdom of providing for the payment of the canal expenditure by bonds. This If a work of a permanent character and U. seems only fair that that which we provide in such a generous measure for posterity should be paid for. In part at least, by posterity. Xot only is such a principle just in the case like the Panama canal, but it seems to be appropriate to adopt it with reference to other projects. I re fer to those definite projects that have been agreed even" ln respect to the im provement of our inland waterways. I would not begin the expenditure of any money on any project the wisdom of which had not been fully vindicated; but having determined to put through the improvement. It ought not to b» done by fits and starts,' but It ought to be done as one Job. Cost of Big Ditch While I am dealing with the Pana ma canal, however, I ought to refer to the discrepancy between the estimated cost of the enterprise and the actual cost as we are now able to fix it with considerable accuracy within four or five years of Its completion. The estimated cost of the engineer ing and construction of the canal was $139,700,000. Its actual cost for engin eering and construction will be $297,-. 000,000, an increase of $157,300,000. This increase is to be explained, first, by the great appreciation in the cost of labor and material since the time when the estimate* was made in 1900 and the time when the work was done between 1904 and 1909: second, by the fact that the canal has been enlarged substantially beyond the original di mensions estimated for.^. The Culebra Cut You know that the great work of excavation in the canal is called the Culebra cut. This is where the back bone of the continent reduced to low est height Is cut and through five miles of that cut, which is about nine miles long, for purposes of economy, the orig inal plan and estimate made the bot tom of the canal in the rock 200 feet wide. This would not enable two of the largest steamers to pass each other with safety. To avoid delay it has been thought wise to increase the bottom wicfth from 200 to 300 feet In a place, and in mate rial that, of course, makes the change most expensive. So. too. that the canal may be adapted to largest size of steamers, the dimensions of the six locks have been increased from 900 feet to 1,000 feet usuable length and 110 feet width. This was done at the in stance of the navy department, which predicts vessels of a beam exceeding 100 feet. It has also been found necessary to change the character of the canal on the Pacific side from a lake with a dam and locks on the shore of the bay of Panama to a sea level canal running four miles inland, so as to remove the locks four miles inward and beyond the possible reach of the guns of an enemy in Panama bay. These two changes also have added considerably to the cost. Other Expensive Changes Again, it has been found wise to en large the cana} into a lake or basin at the foot of the Gatun locks, and in whatever variation In the plans which experience in the construction has dem onstrated the necessity for the more than doubling the cost of construction and engineering has been necessary. In addition to this, the cost of sanitation and government, without which the ca nal could not have been built, will be about $73,000,000, and will carry the entire cost of the canal to $373,000,000. To return to the state of finances I repeat that the surplus for the year ending June 30, 1911. for which we are now making provision in this congress by appropriation, will be about $35,000, 000, if the estimates made by the de partments and transmitted by the sec retary of the treasury to congress are not exceeded, and If the revenue from the tariff bill equals that which the secretary of the treasury has estimated It as likely to be. This surplus Is also upon the supposition .that the $38,000. 000 necessary annually In the construc tion of the Panama canal will b«? met by bonds. Paring Down Estimates . In view of the threatened shortage for the year ending June 30, 1911, 1 directed the heads of departments •in making their estimates to cut them to the quick and to avail themselves of every possible economy, and reduction. The result was that the total of the estimates forwarded by the secretary of the treasury was" $42,818,000 less than the total of the appropriations for the previous year ending June 30, 1910. Speaking with (reference to the army and • navy, the reduction is a postponement onlyof the expenditures that are necessary until the income shall be sufficient to meet them. - Let us take the -war department. There is needed at the mouth of Chesar peake bay, between 'Cape Henry and l^harles, an artificial island' upon the so called middle ground, which shall command the entrance to Chesapeake bay. Chesapeake bay- is: the most. Im portant body of water. from a strategic naval standpoint on the 'whole: Atlantic coast, and it must be defended. . Great Naval Base So. too, now we have determined that the great naval base "of the^ Pacific for us is to be Pearl harbor, near Honolulu. For years there was discussion as to whether we ought to make the naval base at Sublg bay or at Cavite, in Manila, bay, in the Philippines. By unanimous "consent of naval and military authorities, it;is now conceded that we do not need a' naval base In the Philippines at all; that we.ought to make. Corregldor island, at;-- the mouth of Manila bay, impregnable^"!es tablish a naval supply station in Subig bay. \u25a0 buj. rely upon" the; Sandwich is lands as our base. - This will all involve a heavy expendi ture at Honolulu, but for. the present the amount provided is comparatively Bmall. \u25a0 In .the naval expenditures we have retained a provision for two battle ships of the large 25,000 ton capacity, and we have done this on the ground that, until the Panama canal is com pleted, we ought to go on and add- to our naval. Btrength. : The Panama canal certainlv- wllKb'e completed in 1915, and if we "have two battleships a year , until that . time,-* the opening of the canal -will so double the- efficiency, of our navy for the-pro tection of our Pacific and Atlantic coasts that we can abate * and reduce our expenditures in new construction. Billion Dollar Congresses For some time it has been said that we have : billion dollar" , congresses The statement in. itself Is an- unjust one., because it is generally, construed to mean that the> total* expensed the departments to Jbe % paid out % of. taxa ' THE SAi^ FRANCISCO GALL. THURSDAY: ff EBR [7ARY- '24, , 1910. Continued From Page 1 tion amounts to a billion dollars a^ \u25a0 year. This is quite an error, for the reason that, in. making '.up "the billion dollars, the expenses tor the postornce department are always included, whereas; the expenses of the postoffice department are not paid for out of the proceeds of taxes. They are paid, for out of receipts of . that department, from the sale of stamps, with the ex ception of $17,500,000. which was the excess of the cost of the postoftlce de partment last year over its receipts. This therefore, reduces the cost .by , taxation of. the government each year to something like $750.000,000. • "It is now proposed to appoint a con gressional commission to look. into the question of a general reorganization of the departments of the government, with a view to reducing the expense of administering the government. . It has been stated on the floor of] the senate that it will be possible by this commission to reduce the cost of administering the government $100,000. 000 a year, and that, if a \u25a0•free... hand were given to a businessman the re duction in the expense of administra tion might be doubled or tripled. I am unable to confirm these statements as to exact amount, but*l am sure that a conservative, prudent and fearless commission can make a most material reduction in the cost of administering the government. Civil Service Pensions It is undoubtedly true today that we have a great many more persons em ployed in the government than we would negd if every person in the government rendered the government a service of a high degree of efficiency. This commission will have to take up the question, which has troubled great industrial corporations and great- rail roads, as to the method of disposing of superannuated servants. Our mili tary pensions have reached so large an annual sum, to wit. $150,000,000 that we have avoided the suggestion of civil pensions, but I am^convincod that some method must be adopted by which su perannuated civil servants may be re tired on an income. It has been reported by the post master general we are carrying in the postofflce department the weekly pe riodicals and magazines at a cost to that department of upwards of $60,000, 000, and that the business of the gov ernment in the postoffice department is run fit aXgeneral loss of $17,500,000. The committees of congress are inves tigating. The owners "of magazines •dispute the correctness of the figures. Should the two postal committees not be able to reach a conclusion, the whole matter may well be left to the commission. .\u25a0 | Senator Lodge's Address Facts, not opinions, are to form the basis 'on which the senate committee appointed to inquire into the prices of commodities and rates of wages will act." This declaration was . made to night by Senator Lodge^of Massachu setts,' chairman of the committee, in his address.' -• The speaker, said further that "the facts will be collected and given with out any reference to any preconceived ideas and without any regard as to what or whom it will help or hurt. "We shall hew to the line," he said, "and let the chips fall where they will." After outlining in a general way the method of procedure that the com mittee will follow he said: "That combinations^ to control the sale, of certain articles have In some instances advanced prices artificially I have not personally the least doubt, and'lf I am correct the facts that will be gathered by the" committee will demonstrate, and show evils and wrong doing in certain particular cases that we ought to be able to reach. , . "An example of such evils Is to be found in the case of. meat prod ucts in the use of cold storage, to prevent a normal decline of prices, which your own grand jury has been investigating. But many causes are at work affecting prices and we do not want, to Jump at conclusions or fancy that we can settle those ques tions by a stroke of the pen. As an illustration of the difficulties that the committee will have to deal with Senator Lodge took three articles of wide consumption— -raw cotton, re fined petroleum and svgar — and made a comparison of'their change in prices and of their relation to the tariff and trust questions. Cotton, Oil and Sugar - "Cotton is on the. free list, and has been for half>a century. It Ms not con trolled by any trust. Oil has been and is practically now on the free list and its sale is almost entirely controlled by the strongest, best organized and most relentless trust or, combination of which we have knowledge. .Sugar is in the hands of a trust or combination and is highly protected.. : Neither the trusts nor the tariff". are present in the case ". of cotton. ,The trust is present and the tariff, absent in the case of oil. Both the tariff and trust control are present in the case -of sugar. ! "Now let us consider, the facts in regard to prices of these articles. Tak ing 100 as the basis in 1899 the advance in cotton has"^ ranged from 31 to 84 points. It was 59 points higher in 1908 than in 1899 and it is still higher now. Petroleum, ; starting^ with 100 as the basis in 1899,. has advanced ' 33 points in 10 years. -Sugar jn'the same time has declined 10 points. . <.'j ; REVOLUTIONARY PLOT DISCOVERED IN LISBON Arms and: Ammunition Sent in From Germany LISBON, Feb. government apparently is greatlyperturbed by the discovery of a widespread-revblution iry plot.

The result of their deliberations was hot announced. Telegrams were sent to President Taft and to Senator Penrose by the of ficials of the streetcarmen's unions to day saying: ••Union men on strike.' here offer services for .operation of mail and newspaper cars as was done through out last- strike. < Company refuses to allow union mento continue to operate mail cars, and has today forced them off their mail cars by summary dis charges. Interference with mall opera tions, therefore, comes from the com pany and not from the strikers." Union men claim that the company is interfering with the operation of maij-cars to give it a chance to ask for federal intervention. ADVEIITISES FOR MEN\ ( Advertisements have been inserted in newspapers by the transit company call ing for 3,000_ men. This is taken as in dicating that the company, and the city are about to make a determined effort to increase the service. • There was little talk today of a gen eral labor strike and such a radical move is not looked for at present. There were disturbances at Third street and Seventh street, caused by the stoning ;of cars, but the throng was kept moving by mounted police. More than 1,000 persons have been ar rested for rioting and 36 have been in ducted by the grand. jury. The stock of window glass.inthe city suitable for car windows has been ex hausted and no more broken windows can be replaced until glass is obtained. More than 2,000 windows have been broken. At 9 o'clock this morning the traction company announced that lt.had 554 cafs in operation, or three more than at the same hour yesterday. At Forty-fourth and Lancaster ave nue, in "West Philadelphia, about. 9 o'clock two cars coupled together and carrying 12 passengers and two police men were fired on by an unidentified man standing at the curb.. With: the first shot the passengers, four of whom were women, threw themselves on the floor of the car." The policemen gave chase, but the man got away.

The; San Francisco real estate board, rather than see the city suffer this loss, is making every possible endeavor to raise the remaining sum and has sent out calls for a general and popu lar subscription to meet it. By the provisions of the federal and state bills, the city would have to pro vide the site, the state the building and the federal government the equip ment. The state and government are ready to fulfill their promises, but up to the present the city has been un able to secure the money for the pro posed site which has been chosen at Bay street and Van Ness avenue. The site includes an entire block and that location was picked as being con venient, to the Presidio and Fort Ma son, where the coast artillery corps will have to practice and drill with the big buns. - The argument of the real estate board is that the armory building will improve the city property generally and that every property holder should pay something toward securing the site. Of :the $100,000 asked for $75,000 has been subscribed. The time has been extended repeat edly and next Tuesday will be the last day. If the city can not produce the site by that, time the money appro priated by the state will be returned to the state treasury.
