destrisn to beat and a chance at a
3-.000 purse. Jack Eldredge. an inex
perienced athlete. 26 years old, set out
from Boston, on Marcii 15. «lle arrived
\u25a0in San Francisco at S o'clock last night,
the holder of the new world's record
across the continent and the winner of
the purse, just 77 days from the time
•}vp set out, if allowance is made for a
*l*y*s rest in Albany, N. V.. because of
San injury, and a day in Sacramento that
3-e' might deliver to Governor Gillett
"a message from Governor Eben S.

Vcston's record by 2S days and also has
i>^aten the latter's record for a day's
valk by three hours, making 75 miles
Jb/20 liours. where -Weston made 72.
!iis final trudge yesterday
fi dm. Benida. to San Francisco, Eldredge
was without the least signs of fatigue
iiii-d told with animation the details of
: liis ;-trip. When askeo why he made
th« venture he replied:
•'•"\u25a0A number <?f fellows and myself be
i: amf interested in Weston's walking
i chords, and after several meetings the
Boston athletic club offered me f 2,000
if.l could make the trip in 100 days
t'r. i:nd<sr."
.; Kldredgr"?. journey ran through Al-
Kaby. Buffalo. Chicago. Dcs Moines,
<imaha, Clieyenne. Ogden and Reno.
I'roiii Omaha the young pedestrian took
.tti'ik railroad ties, which he followed
for a distance of 2.000 miles. It was
between Boowawe and Golconda, Ncv.,
that he jnade the 75 mile record the day
ftvJJawing whioh he walked u0 miles
Afttr. eight hours' sl*»cp.' During the
j*sihi*' '; work lie covered the distance of
2fS miles.
\u25a0 \u25a0'TiT -> hardest part of the journey,"
the young walker, "was from Og-
I'tep. to R»»no. It was nothing but 600
initei of dpsort and sage brush, with-
CUt.jany water or p^oplo. That was
tiie'. only part of the trip that fatigued
rim to any extent. In the start I went
Ujjd.ej"! forced draught for a few days,
doing sometliing over 50 miles a day.
That was to get a good lead. But for
t.i>^ <iay I spent in Albany because of
in.-i-njury to my left foot caused by a
failing stone In the Berkshire moun
tains.- and the day in Sacramento, I
would have arrived in the city Satur
day night. I had the record and the
purser so what was, the use of rushing?
"There were times when I wanted to
<jut. Sheer determination to accom
plish the thing I had started to do kept
me Roing. There were lonesome spells,
particularly on Uie desert. If It hadn't
liocn for the kindness of the railroads
in the stretch I don't know what I
should have done. They looked out for
in* all the way. telegraphing ahead for
tfj<s .-preparation of meals. Where it
\t-a.s particularly hot they had cold
water for me. I want to thank them
for what they have done.
. vThe weather was exceptional all
aiong. I nearly got stuck in the snow
\u25a0in the mountains a couple of times, but
1 was fortunate that it was no worse.
Fo rthe most part I managed to escape
by going through the snowsheds, . but
3<-t m/»- t»U you there is much better
\u25a0walking than 2.000 miles of ties. It
gets monotonous."
Eldredge is a guest of the T. M. C. A.

to stay in this city until September and
return to his home in Camden. N. J., by
rail. His plans are rather indefinite,
but; he T:a.s in mind another great

BOARD SETS ASIDE
DOLLAR TAX LIMIT
Supervisors Unanimously Vote
to Fix Rate at $1,647 for
Coming Fiscal Year
The board of supervisors, by the
unanimous action of the 17 members
present, finally passed the resolution
yesterday setting aside the dollar
limit of taxation, declaring "a great
necessity and emergency" existed, and
then levied" the local tax authorization
of $1.G47 per $100 of assessment. Su
pervisor Pugh was absent. Chairman
Kelly announced that the' charter pro
vision- requiring unanimous action for
the suspension of the dollar limit in
tended the affirmative vote of all mem
bers present and not of the full board
and upon the 17 "ayes" declared the
resolution carried.
Declaring just the $11,393 claim of
the 170 Instructors whose "outside ex
perience" for 190S was disallowed by
the board of education, the .supervisors
formally requested the school directors
to pay the money to the teachers. The
resolution, introduced by WalPhl. had
mentioned the fact that the school
board had abouts43,ooo on-hand avail
able to pay 'the. demand. ."Murdock in
troduced a substitute resolution, say
ing, he did not. like to' appear to dictate,
what another .body.' of the city's, gov
ernment should do with the funds -un
der its command, and Cutten and Ban
croft voted- 'With him for the substi-
McLaughlin. rose to. say that the cut
had been made at tbe sole suggestion
of former School Director - Joseph
O'Connor. On the final vote only Mur
dock and Cutten- opposed the request.
The free and easy way !n which
board of . health inspectors have, been
going to citizens* houses and insisting
on going "through them caused Super
visor: Harris to enter, a vigorous pro
test yesterday and the; board to ask
the city attorney to define the inspec
tors' .powers, in this direction. . Mc-
L.aughlin joined Harris in denouncing
the overbearing manner in which some
of the inspectors have been acting and
declared no inspector, in the absence
of any complaint, had any right to
•nter, a domicile.
Healy, head of the hospital . and
health committee, said the inspector
who called at his home got thrown but
bodily for his pains. - -
The request' of -'trie "home industry;
committee of the building trades coun
cil that ttie supervisors co-operate .in
the work .of promoting the use and
sale of home manufactured .products
was referred to the finance committee.
The board took no' action on any of
the contract, awards of: the commit
tees, postponing acceptances' on the
city's annual supplies for a week or, so
that Mayor McCarthy might look over
the recommendations. \ -

RATE FIGHT WILL
OPEN HERE TODAY
San Francisco to Oppose Los
Angeles in San^ Joaquin
VaHey Jobbing Battle
South Is Trying to Level Moun
tains, Declares Attorney
V Seth Mann 1
The San' Francisco.merchants will be
gin 1 ; their battle today for tne^protec
tion of their jobbing trade ; in' the San
Joaquin valley. The .job
bers of Los Angeles have ;bcen pressing
a. case -before 4 the state' railroad com
mission in '- which they ask_ that' the
rates "Into the San Joaquin valley be
readjusted on a mileage basis. The
San Francisco shippers will present
their testimony this : morning at the
commission's office in the 3 ferry build
ing. • -\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0•"'."
As the -schedules now stand -San
Francisco can ship farther into the
valley than lios Angeles f or _ the same
cost. For instance, to. Goshen,, which is
equidistant from both .places, the San
Francisco rate is ;63 cents \u25a0. per 100
pounds, against 79- cents from Los An
geles. This differential has "been long
in existence and now. the Los Angeles
shippers? demand a flat mileage rate..
,The case of- San Francisco will 'be
presented by the traffic; bureau of the
Merchants' .exchange^through William
R. Wheeler, the manager, and Seth
Mann, the attorney. 'They will show
that -the* lower rates.from San Fran
cisco are the natural^consequences of
geographical conditions. ' From ' San
Francisco into the valley; the railroads
face water-competition on the San Joa
quin river^ which tends -to compel a
lower rate. On the .other hand, from
Los; Angeles into the valleyi the rail
roads must cross two ranges of moun
tains, the Tehachapis and the San <Fer-"
nandos, which increase. the cost of op
eration and force a higher rate.
San Francisco's case was thus
summed up by William It.. Wheeler in
a letter to members of the bureau:
- This bureau's testimony will be r
confined substantially to that of :
merchants having branch houses in
Los Angeles. \u25a0 We wish to show,
that i such branches were- not es- j
tablishcd - for supplying the San
Joaquin valley but for - the pur
pose of -supplying trade south of
the Tehachapi mountains; that the
San Joaquin valley in'its : entirety, -"
owing to the floor level haul from
M San Francisco, the density of popu
lation for the entire distance as
compared with the sparse .popula
> tion in . the mountainous section
between Los Angeles and the head •
.of the valley, also the influence of
water competition— actual between
San Francisco and Stockton and
potential as far as, Flrebaiigh—
justify and compel materially lower
rates per ton per mile from San •
Francisco than from Los Angeles,
thus making the San: Joaquin val
ley naturally tributary to San
Francisco: ,
If the Los Angeles houses, wish
to do business, in the San Joaquin .
valley they should overcome their
disabilities by making freight al- |
- lowances and not by calling upon
the railroad: companies, to equalize
freight rates. Furthermore, we wish
to bring out the fact that the pres
ent rates per ton per mile enable
Los Angeles to reach further north -
and upon lower freight allowances,
or. no' freight allowance at, all, than
under all the; circumstances , and
conditions she is- justly, entitled -to >
. ' reach. '•.'"j-I'M'''---?:*', : '.. ' '\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0'•*;' -', \u25a0•\u25a0\u25a0' - ; "
Seth Mann epitomized the whole situ
ation with the declaration: . "Los. An
geles is trying' to flatten out the moun
tains."-- '-"""' -,*'" '\u25a0-";'.\u25a0 . -j.: 'y, ; ". ; .-.•
\ The San Franciscans will be strength
ened in the presentation' by evi
dence adduced inwhat is known as the
"Reno ease". In -this fase the 1 cost of
the haul .over the Sierra, Nevada s was
under consideration. During that hear
ing G. -..W. "Luce, general freight agent
of thcSoiithern Pacific, testified that, a
mountains-haul of this- character- was
practically three times as costly' as a
level haul. .'•", .'-'\u25a0/"
, The Tehachapi grades are similar to
those of the . Sierra Nevadas and the
ratio therefore is; almost the same. It
may be; figured af any 'rate with full
safety that the cost. over, the Tehachapis
Is twice that of the level haul from San
Francisco, for the. same* distance. In
other words it costs no more to haul
200* -.'miles ; southward ; from . San -Fran
cisco: than -.100 .miles .over the . moun
tains near Los ' Angeles. . v •
- The grade on the Sierras and the Te
hachapis"': is'- the ' same— 2:2^ per cent.'
Luce testified In the ,Reno : case; thaU a
haul of 154* miles over the Sierras was
equivalent to a haul of 444 miles of
level: country ..i /In. his brief. in .the same,
case .; Setb/ Mann V made this
compariscKi: " .:[ ;; . ; .; :'] '.\u25a0'\u25a0 _-, \u25a0-.-.
'The actual elevation surmounted' \u25a0'
• between Los Angeles and the sum-
of the Tehachapis is 4,946.70, ;•:
. or. substantially 5,000 feet. The
distance' covered. Instead .of being -
73 or ;74 miles, 'which: is the .
• distance on gradient over, the Sier- .'
ras is, over the- Tehachapis. 102.5
miles. . The difference, therefore, in
\u25a0 the actual : elevation over.the Te- |
-hachapisand over the Sierras does m
• not- exceed ..* 2,ooo'; feet, \ while, the
.distance run on grades is ; some 30
miles:- further ; over .-.-.this line than .
over the Sierra 7 line. :* The reason
of -this ..is-; because;, two principal"
, ; elevations i must be : surmounted— >
first, the San Fernando mountains,
after which* there is a descent to'
the Mojave^ desert," and then a sec
-ond chief risejto'the summit of the
Tehachapis.
,"*.'The -local shippers 'are confident of
their position^ the 'cost of -operatinjg
into the valley i from Los' Angeles; being
far greater than H rora s San
The lower -rates" suothward arc, "there
fore, but natural. . . :
It was : further adduced in the Reno
case that the wear and- tear oh a moun
tain line .greatly 'exceeds ; that; on a
level haul." >Itiwas;brought- 'out* that a
rail; on-; a mountain grade, such as the
Sierra ?\or .Tehachapi, , lasts ; but one;
twelfth aslong as oh a' flat run."

CANANEA, "Mexico, June 20.— The
premature discovery of smuggled arms
and ammunition, followed. by the arrest
'of leaders of the discontented faction
and .the proclamation of martial law in
Cananea and 'other border towns, prob
ably has checked" and discouraged ; a
serious . outbreak against the Mexican
government scheduled to take place
election day, June -26.
\u25a0 The revolutionary movement origi
nated among J.he element of
northern Mexico, followers of General
Bernardo Reyes, now in- Europe, and
Senor, Madero, : candidate for president,
now under arrest in Monterey on the
charge^of causing crowds to form. The
discontented faction demand political
liberty,; free speech and "the right to
vote.", ; They ; announce that : they, .will
go to the polls on election day. pre
pared to light if denied their constitu
tional rights.. The discovery that arms
were being smuggled across the border
from the .•• United .States was followed
by police raids in many of the villages
of northern Sonora. ,
Four men were arrested at Villa
Verde and a number of rifles and i-e
volvers and 4,000 rounds of ammunition
were captured. At Chivestria, near
Cananea,. '45 rifles "with .' ammunition
were captured, and at Buena Vista one
house yielded 112 rifles with ; , ammuni
tion. Dealers >t Bisbee, DouglaS and
NaccArizi; have sold all the rifles and
ammunition in stock. The police are
now conducting a house to house search
for arms in all the border towns. *
\u25a0\u25a0-.Cananea, the center of the movement,
Is guarded by two companies of : the
Twenty-fifth infantry and a company
of rurales under Colonel Emelio Kos

arms. / General Torres has assured the
Cananea, authorities' that X 3 will send
400 men by special train should neces
sity arise.
Hundreds of arrests for causing a
disturbance' in public meetings have
been made throughout Sonora and
leaders of"- the revolutionary movement
in the" villages have been deported.
Twelve of the leaders at Cananea have
been taken to -Hermosillo.; where they
will be; held until after the elections.
The troops have orders to disperse any
gathering of fifty or more persons?
Chief of Police Rafael Lopez of Can

Allegations
[Special Dupalch to The Call]
SACRAMENTO* June 20. — Governor

Miss Ada Clark of Zamara," her brother.
Rev. C. Todd Clark, and others- who
have made complaint against Dr. C. C.
Van Liew, president of the Chico nor
mal school. Miss Clark, who was until
a few days ago a student at the Chico

braced her, attempted to' kiss her and
made endearing remarks while she was
consulting him about her school work
in his office',' as told exclusively in The
can.:; \u25a0;•-'\u25a0 .. ; ' ; . \u25a0
The complaint was made several days
ago, but was not made public* until
after the meeting of the trustees of the
Chico normal Saturday, at which the
charges were gone into. No action has
been taken by the school trustees.
Miss Clark, her brother. Rev. C. Todd
Clark of the Broad Methodist church
South Of Chico. and a number of others
testified. Dr. Van Liew denied in de
tail the charges made by-Miss Clark.
Although no formal .complaint . had
been filed as yet with Governor Gillett.
he decided today that the case needed
to be Investigated, and , he instructed
Superintendent Hyatt to summon the
complaining witnesses and others .be
fore him for a hearing tomorrow.
It is expected that Dr. Van Liew's
side of the story will also be heard and
that the governor himself may take
steps in the matter, although the ex
ecutive at this, time himself
to the statement that 'he will hear, the
girl's story tomorrow.
.The complaint has caused a sensa
tion in the entire valley, because of the
prominence of -Van Liew and Miss
Clark and her brother, who until a year

HOW TO FIND OUT
Fill, a bottle or common glas3 with
urine and let it stand 24 hours; a sedi-
ment or Settling usually indicates an -
unhealthy condition of the kidneys.
Too frequent desire to urinate, scanty
supply, paln-or dull uche in the back
should also convince you that the kid-
neys or bladder are out of- order. ;-- V'

so often expressed that Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver
and bladder* • remedy, fulfills almost

rects inability to hold urine and scald-
ing pain in passing tt. or. bad effects

sity of being compelled to get up many
times during the night to urinate.

effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.

results in the most distressing cases.

MODERN HAIR DRESSING
has played havoc with the tresses oE
the fair sex, arid druggists everywhere
comment : on "the fact that they, are
selling large quantities of sage for
making the ; old-fashioned "sage tea,"
such as was used by our, grand-
mothers "for promoting the growth of
their hair and restoring its natural
color. The demand for this well-
. known herb for this purpose has been
so : great that one manufacturer has
taken fadvantage of the fact, and has
placed on the market an ideal "sage
tea," containing sulphur, a - valuable
remedy for dandruff and 'scalp j rashes
and irritations. This preparation,
which is called Wyeth's Sage and Sul-
phur, is sold by all leading druggists
for 50 cents and $1 a bottle, or will be
