The fund was voted from the general treasury of the institute for the purpose of replacing volumes destroyed by the fire of 1906, originally purchased with a fund of 10,000 donated by James Lick.

Speaking on the city's transportation problems, Eustace Cullman, president of the Mission Promotion Association, said that San Francisco had receive'd highly favorable publicity because of the success of its municipal railway. He pleaded that organizations should not be insistent upon extensions which will not pay thus injuring the parent and paying lines.

He urged the purchase of the United Railroads. Others who spoke were Alexander Russell, president of the Civic League of Improvement Clubs; Dr. Julius Rosenstirn. F. L.

He was found by hia father and removed to Central Emergency Hospital, where his condition is considered serious.

He had been in a despondent mood. Jeffery Quad Truck Sent Up Grade and Over Summit as Result of Wager Between Officials DODGE CAR ALSO SUCCEEDS San Francisco's citizenry was splendidly represented at the banquet given by the Civic League of Improvement Clubs and Associations at the Palace Hotel last night. More than 600 men and women representing many elements In San Francisco's business, civic and social life were present. In speaking for Mayor James Rolph, who, owing to physical disability, was not present, Edward Rainey, secretary to the executive, said that it was the nearest approach to a town meeting that San Francisco had had in many years. Robert A Roos declared he was In favor of plenty of talk because a diversity of ideas made for the good of the municipality.

PRESERVATION APPROVED. Governor Johnson was on the programme for a talk on preservation. Toastmaster George Skaller said that he had received a telegram from the Governor expressing regret at being unable to be present President J. J. Dwyer of the State Harbor Commissioners, represented the State's executive.

After reviewing improvements made to the harbor since the people voted the $9,000,000 bond issue five years ago, Dwyer said that the preservation movement which was well under way was not a mere sentimental plan, but was for the benefit Record Breaking Trainload of Autos and Trucks Crosses Continent to White Company Here among his friends, keeping some for home consumption. And so this situation arose: The lightship is well outside of the three-mile limit, therefore not in California. There was no breach of the law in killing the deer. But bringing the meat back Into port Immediately made Thomsen liable for having it In his possession. Deer hides imported from foreign countries are exempt.

But is the ocean outside the three-mile limit a foreign country? Nobody seems to know. Ernest Schaeffle, secretary of the fish and game commission, took the matter with the utmost gravity. He said If it be proven that Captain Thomsen brought deer meat into this port from outside the three-mile limit it will be our painful duty to have him As to the hide, I cannot yet say without consulting our attorney. It may be that he will also be charged with bringing the hide In unlawfully. They are all arguing along the water front Wonder over the fact of a deer being shot out In the ocean is mixed with derision over the possibility of consequences to Captain Thomsen.

SNOW-FED freshets carried past San Francisco bay one little deer that yesterday caused turmoil among the maritime attorneys, seals wyers, the fish and game commission and the Standard Oil Company. Captain L. Thomsea of Standard Oil Company tug No. 1, shot and killed the deer a few cable lengths from the lightship. Just how the creature managed to survive the stress of river, bay and offing waters is not explained.

But while the No. 1 was awaiting the arrival of the J. A. Moffett to take a barge in tow. Captain Thomsen sighted a live object in the swirl of the ebbing tide rush.

Closer and closer came the object. It was a deer, exhausted, and apparently dying. An attempt was made to save the foundering creature. The deer was too weak. So to put the der out of its misery Captain Thomsen shot the animal through the throat and the carcass was hauled on board.

MEET IS DISTRIBUTED. Hind-legs strung to a fall from the foremost the deer was skinned and cleaned. The tineless head was laid aside for a memory. The rest was cut up and, on arrival back in port; Thomsen divided his prize and beautificatlon of the city. Judge Matt I.

Sullivan spoke on the city's water problem. He said BY STUART GAYNES3 The automobile attacks against Duncan street hill continued with unusual activity yesterday. This famous hill In the Mission district, which was considered Impregnable against San Francisco motor Mcles on account of Its fifty per cent grade, has been the object of a steady eerlea of onslaughts since Tuesday. During1 the last three days practically every automobile dealer In San Francisco has sent cars with expert drivers against the grade and in most cases the machines have crossed the ummit with flylg colors. The vehicles to conquer yesterday were the Jeffery quad truck and the Dodge car.

The Jeffrey truck was sent up the hill as a result of a wager between Edward Martin of the Howard Automobile Company and E. V. Mil-burn, manager of the local branch of the Thomas B. Jeffery Company. PROVES EASY TASK.

Mllburn claimed that the hill which had been the cause of so much competition among the touring cars of the city was not really a serious obstacle for a hill climbing test and Grape growers and wine makers from all sections of California attended a meeting of the. Viticultural Commission yesterday, called by Secretary Edgar A. Sheehan to discuss developments in connection with the wine and brandy tax bill now before Congress. Resolutions were passed declaring that the present emergency revenue tax is so excessive that the wine industry in California will be Berlous-ly crippled unless Immediate relief is given. Brandy used in the fortification of sweet wines now is taxed at 65 cents per proof gallon, in addition to an 8-cent tax on every of wine.

SCHEDULE ACCEPTED. A month ago Congressman Kent introduced a relief measure providing for the abatement entirely of the fortifying tax and the stamp tax on all wines. In lieu of these taxes the bill provided for revenue on a gallonage basis of 2 cents on dry wines and 6 cents on sweet wines up to 2(f per cent The treasury department was not satisfied and recommended to the Ways and Means Committee that a new schedule be adopted. At yesterday's meeting it was decided to accept the schedule proposed by the Treasury Department, which is as follows: Two cents per gallon on wines up to 10 per cent In alcohol; 3 cents on 14 per cent; 7 cents on 18 per cent; 10 cents on 21 per cent; 20 cents on 24 per cent. It also was decided not to fight the proposals of, Ohio and Missouri wine producers, who asked for an amendment allowing the use of water and sugar in the making of wines, and grain spirits in fortifying their wines, but rather to put the burden of deciding the question entirely in the hands of the govern- ESS AGE SENT TO KENT.

It was pointed out that if the concessions were granted the government automatically would declare itself willing to call wine made from a combination of grain and grapes pure wine. The following telegram was sent to Congressman Kent: California State Viticultural Commission in special meeting with prominent California grape growers present agree that if no better tax rates and alcohol percentage schedule can be obtained to accept same as per recommendation of the Treasury Department. We agree also not to oppose new definition of wine If government sanction can be obtained. We agree also not to fight use of grain spirits in fortification if administration In Congress are willing to pass law agreeing that United States Government can go to extreme of declaration by statute that pure wine can be made by combination of grain and grapes In manufacture. In other words in order to get reduction of tax so we may make our normal production we forego fighting eastern contentions.

If it could be brought about we would like to simplify tax schedule so as to make it two cents on dry to twelve and seven cents on sweets to twenty with higher alcohol than that taxed at Anniversary of Beachy's Death To Be Observed Western Union Gets Nothing for New York Wire ill all rtrtnrUS JMm Paaars that a Jeffery truck could climb the How hill easily. To prove his claims Mil-burn sent one of the trucks up and down the grade and, figuratlvly Mrs. Silas Christofferson, wife of the aviator, is arranging with her husband and other friends of the late Lincoln Beachy to observe the first anniversary of the death of the daring blrdman during the Panama-Pacific Exposition. It will be a year since the death of Beachy, on March 14. He has been buried at Cypress Lawn Cemetery, and Mrs.

Christofferson is arranging to have flowers placed on his grave and to have some simple ceremony mark the anniversary. Mayor Rolph, officers of the Exposition corporation and other men of prominence will be asked to attend the ceremony. lilfflll IIBl lIljM 8 jlfPjffllliiii A special telegraph wire was run into the Hof Brau restaurant last night; 150 guests at a banquet sent and received messages to and from New Tork without limit, and nobody paid the Western Union Telegraph company (Incorporated) a dollar for it. The operators were kept busy every moment, too. M.

T. Cook, the new general manager of the Pacific division of the Western Union lines, appeared on ttw scene and gave the banqueters quite a talking-to. They received him with laughter and cheers. Then they put what he said on the special wire to New York and asked him to pay the usual night rate. He did not get angry over it, either.

"It's a telegraph banquet the first annual transcontinental dinner of the Western Union Efficiency Club," explained Charles W. Isaacs, assistant maanger. "Three hundred members are banqueting at the New York end of the wire, and 150 more are having their feapt and 'listening' on the wire at Omaha." Newcomb Carlton, the new president of the Western Union, made an amusing speech to the New York banqueters, who telegraphed it to the Omnhars. to relay to San Frnneisoo. to stop dandruff and loss of hair with Resinol Here is a simple, inexpensive treatment that will almost always stop dandruff and scalp itching, and keep the hair thick, live and lustrous: At night, spread the hair apart and rub a little Resinol Ointment into the scalp gently, with the tip of the finger.

New epeaking, the truck walked all over the surface of the hill from the bottom to the summit. Besides proving that this type, of truck can go practically anywhere a touring car can, the performance demonstrated the remarkable possibilities of motor trucks for all Glasses of service.

It also proved that the Duncan street hill is not as formidable against the hill climbing qualities of the modern motor vehicle as it was first thought to be. DODGE DOES TRICK. The lowest priced cars, medium priced cars, and last of all the big Jeffery truck have climbed the grade. The Dodge car was the latest of the low priced cars to make the ascent yesterday, one of these cars being sent from the salesroom of H. O.

Harrison to add its name to the list of cars that have conquered the famous grade this week. The Dodge went over the summit easily. The largest trainload of high grade automobiles and motor trucks that ever crossed the continent arrived here yesterday for the local branch of the White Automobile Company This shipment, coming as it does at the time of an unusual shortage of freight cars, indicates the tremendous demand In this territory for this type of car and also the plans of the big Cleveland manufacturers to supply the home market in preference to foreign trade. According to G. A.

Urquhart. Western representative of the White Company, the trainload demonstrates that the White Cmpany believes in preparedness both In the country's defense and In the motor vehicle business.
