tako tho Increased cost of food stuffs
into consideration, In making tho cur

tho national homes throughout the
country havo bcon forced to livo on
short rations for tho past month,
which will bo reduced to almost star
vation faro during tho rost of this

That this condition exists In tho
Pacific branch, locatod noar Sawtollo,
l admitted by tho officers in chargo,
and that tho samo condition exists
in tho other homes throughout tho
country Is shown by tho reports re
coived from them dally by tho local
ofllcors.
It bocanio apparent that this food
sliortago would occur at tho last of
tho ft cal year somo months ago, and
Govornor T. J. Cochrano applied to
congress for an additional 18000 to

to C000 by congross, and tho vet

it plain that, although meat and oth

Thirty slices of broad, 14 bowls of

A committee of veterans met
Thursday night and drew up somo
pretty strong resolutions which thoy

Socond An Independent plrlt, &:
deslro to havo one's own way, an I
unwllllugneus to yield to anyone,
even God.
Third Tho simplicity of tho plan
of salvation. Man wants to do somo
groat things. Naaman thought It was
too simple to go down in tho river

Fourth Tho dovll'a churches: nnv i

Or tittle.
Where" is tho church covering up
and apologizing for sin la oursolvc,
our church and in others; Sin must

Sin alwayj ruins, sin always kills,
Sixth Lack of power in the

"Imomdlatoly nftor March 13,

Calhoun started to gt an ovorhoad

SpreckelV testimony was introduced
hero, not to show which was tho
bettor systom. but to show tho mo.
t'vo for Calhoun's frenzied attempts
to get nn ovorhoad trolloy franchise,
Tho motive Is vory apparent. The
testimony showod It.
"Calhoun bolleved thnt ho could
Blvo greater troot car facilities, ho
said, with tho ovorhoad trolloy sys

more profit. Thoro you havo It
"That Soreckols. when ho consult.
od with Calhoun on tho feasibility of
tho conduit system did not think nt

torn of his own, Is borno out by his
siaioment to Calhoun. Ho said:
'Now, Mr. Calhoun, if you think that
(no length of tho franchise proposed
for tho underground systom not long
enough to allow you to get hack
tho amount of your Investment, I
stand ready at auy tlmo to assist you
to securo an extonslon of tlmo for
fifty years.' Dooa that show Bpreck
oli wanted a stroot car system him.
solfT Ne: It shows that ho wanted
the UMt car sorvlco possible for tho
city.
"I maintain that Calhoun came
horo in 1900 to got tho overhead
trolley system nnd to got it through
Abo Ruof. Tho people couldn't glvo
It to him. Tho adornment commit.
too couldn't L'lVO It to him Tim mtlv
ones who could give it to him wero
Abo Ruof and tho board of super
visors", and tho way tho caso has
been conducted and from tho
rpeechea of counsel, Ruof waa then
tho friend of Calhoun and still Is.
"Isn't It a fair Instance that if
in the Ruef trial the Jury convicted
on testimony of Gallanhor. Corrm.
Furey and Wilson that they wore

now, li tnero any
rea on that the testimony can't be

Whon tho murdoror who knocked bis
victim on tho hood whon no ono else
was In tho room, was convicted you
didn't nocd any man to witness that
crlmo to provo tho man guilty. The
clrcumstnnccs provo him guilty.
"Circumstantial ovtdonco In this
caso points with such an unorrng
hand thnt you don't havoto havo auy
wltues'o corns horo who saw Tlory L.
Ford pay Ruof tho brlbo monoy."
Honoy then rotnrnod to tho Sut
tor stroot trolloy frnnchlso squabble
again. Ho condomnod Calhoun's of
for to loavo tho mattor to tho poople
aa to whothor thoy wanted a conduit
systom or tho overhead trolley, aa
mado la bad faith. Ho referred to
Qoorgo Keano, ex-oocrotary of the
board of suporvlvors, as tho man who
got tho rest of tho monoy In ques
tion nftor the 189.000 woro paid to
Rea and Gallagher, and said that It
wasn't likely that Qoorgo Keano. who
had boon of such corvlco to Huof ami

Tho court ruled that tho Jury was
