EVENTS IN THE COUNTIES BORDERING ON THE BAY OF SAN FRANCISCO
BORAX KING IS
MASTER OF ROADS
Henshaw Deal Puts F. M. Smith
in Complete Control of
Electric Lines
Capitalist Announces That He
Will Develop Key Route
and Traction Systems
OAKXAXD. Dec. £$.— Through the
uca! »\u25a0>• which F. M. Smith secures all
il?<* holdings of W. G. Henshaw, presi
dent of the Union bank of savings, in
Uie Oakland traction company and the
Ucy Route, as exclusively announced in
"the Call this morning. Smith becomes
the absolute master of these two big
systems. He has al~ays been in con
ttol, but the purchase of the Henshaw
interests removes the last of the heavy
minority holdings and gives him the
free rein that he has sought for a long
time. Following so closely upon the
purchase of the entire holdings of
Frank C. Havens in these corporations,
it Is evident that Smith has been '-n
patient to secure control in onU .• t'oat
the great plans he has outlined may be
carried out.
PL. AX S A. SECRET
A formal confirmation was made to
day by Smith of his purchase of the
Henshaw interests. In a statement
given out he speaks of his plans for
these two big systems and says his in
tentions are to give the cities on the
east side of the bay the best streetcar
and ferry systems which money and
enterprise can provide. As yet he is
n6t in a position, he says, to make
public Just what his plans of further
improvement are.
Men close to the plans and interests
of the Oakland traction company and
the Key Route state that Smith always
has thought highly of Oakland and ap
preciates deeply the treatment which
has been accorded him by this city. As
a. result he feels that there is nothing
too good for the city and he -will carry
on his development work until his
dream of accomplishment Is realized.
Smith is a dominant figure in Oakland
investment circles and his interest in
these two projects will add in a won
derful degree to the upbuilding of
Oakland.
Ever since his return from New York
a short time ago Smith has shown his
fcend in the work being done on the
Oakland traction company and the
Key Route and the plans for improve
ments which already have been made
public. These Improvements have
called for a great expenditure of
money, while it Is said by those close
to Smith that millions of dollars will
be spent in the development work
which he now is outlining.
WIL.L, CO.VCEXTRATE EFFORTS
Smith, although interested in many
corporations, all of which will have
offices in the Realty Syndicate build
ing, now being erected in Broadway
near Fourteenth street, will devote
practically all of his time to these two
systems. In order to give him more
time for this work he has disposed of
his holdings In the People's water com
pany, the transfer being made at the
time he sscured Havens' interests In
the traction company and the Key
Route. « ' "
Saaith will keep his Interests In the
Santa Fe, but will take the part of. a
stock holder only* In this corporation.
It Is said on good authority that he
will not dispose of any of his holdings
in the Key Route to the Santa Fe, no
matter what inducements may be made.
The statement made public today by
Smith Is the first he has given out for
a long time and was in answer to the
interest aroused by the story of this
morning. The statement follows:
While It Is true that I have pur
chased from Mr. F. C. Havens and '
Mr. W. G. Henshaw their holdings
In the Oakland traction company •
and Key Route and that I have sold
to Mr. Havens my holdings in the
People's water company, it is not
true that I have sold any of my
transportation interests to the
Santa Fe company, nor have- 1 had
any negotiations with that company
to that end. My plans are to give
the cities on this side of the bay as
fine a streetcar system and ferry
eystem as brains and money will
provide.
I can not at this time state in
detail Just what plans for such de
velopment have been determined
on. This would not be politic or
businesslike.
In making his formal statement to
day, Smith said that some misleading
announcements had been made and It
was to correct any erroneous Impres
sion* as to his plans that he departed
from his inflexible rule not to discuss
In public his business. Such negotia
tions as the Key Route has carried on
with the Santa Fe have been to obtain
terminal privileges on the Key Route
mole that is to be built along the line
of the existing pier. It is said In
financial circles that Smith has been
amply provided with funds to carry
out his plans of developments.
: DEFICIT IS FOUND
IN LIGHTING FUND
Board of Public Works Con-
fronted by Shortage
OAKLAND. .. D«c 28.— The prospect
of a deficit of J12.582.52 in the street
lighting: fund confronted the board of
public works this morning, when sev
eral petitions were considered for new
street lamps in various sections of the
city. The financial condition of the
city -was explained to the board by
City Electrician Babcock, and at his
recommendation the commissioners laid
over the light petitions.
Babcock informed the board that
street lighting would cost the city
$122,857.52 for the fiscal year ending
June SO, 1911. Of this total there has
ljeen~spent already $46,620.52. The ex
penditures for the coming six months
will amount to $76,237, by the city
clectrlcian'6 estimate.
To meet this expense the city council
had. appropriated only $110,575. The
funds of the different departments will
probably have to be reapportloned in
order that a deficit m^y be prevented.

COMMERCE CHAMBER
EXPECTS BIG VOTE
Great Interest Shown by Mem*
bers in Election of Board
of Directors
OAKLAND, Dec. 28.— Never In the
history of the chamber of commerce has
there been as much interest aroused in
an election of the board of directors as
is shown this year. Although "the elec
tion<wili not take place until\Tuesday,
January 10, a forecast of the vote has
been- made and the more sanguine
members say that it will total more
than 500. At the election last year
only 70 votes were polled.
The progress and prosperity com
mittee of the chamber of commerce at
a meeting last night indorsed the ticket
\u25a0recently nominated and every candidate
will receive a record vote. While
there has been talk of scratching the
names of some of the new candidates,"it ;
will have no material effect upon elec
tion day. Offers to work for the suc
cess of the 21 names decided upon for
the new. board ;have been received from
more than 50 businessmen.'
Members, of the progress and pros
perity committee say that with the
election of -the new board the activity
of the chamber will be even greater
than in the past and that much will be
\u25a0accomplished. Many big projects are
under way and they will be boosted
until they are realized.

at stake. Mayor Hodghead' said today
that the council will ask .the mothers
to submit, to the commissioners an
estimate of the cost of operating 12

MRS. MARTIN SAYS
JUROR WAS DRUNK
Demands New "Trial, Alleging
That J.t W; Bulen Was In
capable During Hearing
OAKLAND. Dec. 28^-A- new trial on
the ground that one of the jurors who
convicted her was .drunk, during : the
hearing was demanded today by Mrs.
Isabella J. Martin when she came up
for' sentence before Judge \Wells for
dynamiting Judge Ogden's", home.
L.-.She named . J.«W. Bulfh" of San'Lean
dro as the -juror who was drunk during
her trial, and of ; him she said in her
written motion- that he' "became Intoxi
cated to that. degree that he was in
capable of giving due and fair consid
eration to the case."
Mrs. Martin said today that she would
produce affidavits in support of her mo
tion." She has another affidavit, she de
clared, from a man who said that Bulen
told him during the trial that "Mrs.
Martin was as good as convicted, as far
as he' was: concerned."- ', ' \u25a0". '
'Her accusation caused' a sensatibnln
court and necessitated the case being
continued until Saturday morning,
when the affidavits will be produced and
her motion argued. .' .
A large crowd, composed principally
of women, was in Judge Wells^ court
when Mrs. Martin came up for sen
tence. She was dressed especially for
the occasion. After A. J. Woolsey, the
clerk, had arraigned her and asked If
she had any reason to give why judg
ment should . ; njot be . pronounced upon
her she arose dramatically and said:
"Your honor, I have every reason in
the world why-" sentence should not be
pronounced upon me, because I am ab
solutely Innocent of the dynamiting of
Judge Ogden's home." .
At this pjolnt her attorney, E. E.
Gehring, produced the motion for a new
trial and read It to the court. Mrs.
Martin left the courtroom on her way
back to jail full of jubilation at the
turn she had given to affairs.

For the THIRTY-FOURTH TIME in the history of the
business we call the attention of our patrons to our ANNUAL
-DISCOUNT SALE. It has proved. so successful in the past
that we are not minded toward allowing its prestige over other
SALES to diminish this year. Everything that has been pos-
sible to do toward making it even more attractive has been done.
The result is that THIRTY-EIGHT DEPARTMENTS offer
selection at from 10% to 50$> discount on the REGULAR
PRICES. REGULAR PRICES mean just what the term im-
plies at Taft & Pennoyer's. We do not mark up our merchan-
dise 40% and then offer a discountof 50%. It looks well in
type, but our firm's reputation forbids us to attract customers
in this manner. Here you are insured QUALITY, FULL
MEASURE and PROTECTION, together with LIBERAL
DISCOUNTS during the SALE.
NOTE.— Every article in the store is subject to 10% OR
MORE reductions EXCEPT :
