other employes, who had to put out the
flames before they could pull Johnson

eight hour bill and the universal eight
hour bill on the ballot for the special
election called for the referendum
measures by the Day bill, passed at
the last session of the legislature. The

such time as it might choose, irre
spective of statutory and constitutional
provisions on the subject."

made the Winter Garden In New York,
the Hippodrome in London, Berlin's
Metropol and the Folies Maringy, Paris,
famous.

manager, is now in New York arrang
ing for the transfer of the company

THE SAN FRANCISCO OALIi. WEDNESDAY, JULY 30, 1913.
This rich estate old Raphael Garcia
left to his son Joseph. But Joseph was
a prodigal and a spendthrift. He lived
luxuriously, spent money recklessly
and in the end gambled away his thou
sanda of acres and all the rest of his
great wealth. His old age came upon
him when he was penury
was the result of Improvidence. For
the last three or four years. the old
man has eked out a precarious living
through the sale of lottery tickets.
And now, in the little old shack in
the edge of town, "Diamond Joe" lies
dying. With his passing will disap
pear one of the most picturesque char
acters of Marin county
BOND COMMITTEE
WANTS VOLUNTEERS
Committee of 100 Sends Out
Call for Assistance in
Coming Election
Eustace Cullinan. chairman of the
committee of 100 conducting the cam
paign for the extension of the munici
pal railway aystem. Issued the follow
ing call for volunteers yesterday to aid
in winning votes for trie proposed bond
issue:
"We have entered upon a plan to
extend our own street railroad. To.
build tracks and buy cars we must
have money, and we have asked au
thority to borrow $3,500,000 for new
construction. The road we have built,
is a paying investment: nevertheless,
we are being fought bitterly by every
interest that profits through private
ownership of public utilities.
"In order to win we must cast two
votes to every vote that is polled
against us. That the people strongly'
favor municipal ownership was shown
in the election cf 130f». when 31,151
voted for the Geary street bonds to
1 1,704 who voted againsr them. After
the brilliant success of the Investment
then authorized, I am confident that a
still larger proportion favor that policy
today.
"But the only votes that count are
those that are dropped into the ballot
box. We need help to get out the'
votes. r
"T ask the help of every voter who
believes ln the extension of the mu
nicipal railroad. We want a voter on
every city block who will devote time
between now and August 26 to the
duty of seeing that his or her neigh
bors promise to come to the polls and
cast a vote for the city's progress.
"I ask you to send ln your name
to the committee of 100 at the city hall
and ask to be enrolled as one of the
workers. Will you help?"
The committee of 100 was advised
yesterday that the Material Teamsters'
union had unanimously indorsed the
proposed bond issue.
Supervisor Koshland, in an address
before the German American league at
the German House Monday night won
an enthusiastic Indorsement of the pro
posed bond Issue. The support of the
league is most welcome, as It repre
sents 100 German societies in this city
and has a membership of more than
5.000.
After showing the profits earned by
the Geary street road, and proving
to his audience that the Union street,
Stockton street. Van Ness avenue and
the other contemplated railways will
all pay their own expenses arid con
tribute a surplus to the city treasury.
Supervisor Koshland alluded to the
success of municipal ownership in Eng
land, Germany and other countries.

HERO IS HONORED
BY MRS. DANIELS
• ;SPOKA>NiB,r Welah..'- july-'/29.—Secre
tary of the Navy Josephus Daniels, ac
companied by Mrs. Daniels, spent the
greater part of the day and night in
Spokane. The secretary made two ad
dresses and reviewed, the soldiers at
Fort George Wright. Mrs. Daniels
nonored the memory of a classmate
of her brother by placing a wreath on
the monument of Ensign John R. Mon
aghan, a Spokane boy, who was killed
when attempting to rescue a friend and
fellow officer in the Samoan uprising,
April 6, 1899. The main purpose of
Mrs. Daniels making the trip across
the continent, the secretary said, was
to honor the fallen hero of the navy.
In one of his addresses Secretary
Daniels spoke of the necessity of citi
zens working together and he cited the
successful baseball team as the best
example, of teamwork. He said that
people living in Inland cities show
great interest tn the navy, and he pre
dicted that it would, continue to grow.
Mr. Daniels departed, late tonight for
the east..
To Be Withdrawn

We want you and every one of your friends to have this wonderful book. Thousands
of Call readers who have received a copy of this magnificent illustrated Bible are loud
in their praise of its many excellent qualities. It should be in every home.

LONDON, July 29.—A curious scene
was witnessed in the west end of Lon

home. Arriving there she resolutely
refused to enter the home and * sat
outside from afternoon until midnight.
Despite all persuasion of the police,

clared, "the government undertook its
responsibilities." The police finally
removed her to the Kensington Infirm
