The denials which Representative Henderson
made in the House yesterday for the Commits
sioners - coming from them, in reference to the
purchase Of school sites are very much broader
than any made directly by the Commissioners
themselves, either in their newspaper explana-
ton or in their statement read in the House.
In fact, the Commissioners have not publicly
denied any essential statement in respect to
the method Of such purchases. They admitted
that the District bought through agents and
that there was no authority Of law to pay
them. They stated that these agents of
the District got their pay out Of the sellers
Of property. and that the Commissioners,
not paying them, were not responsible for the
character Of their charges. In reply to the
statement that nominal intermediate pur-
chasers interviewed. under the method employed,
between the owners Of the property and the
District, thus complicating and possibly weak
ening the chain Of title, they replied that they
had confidence in their legal advisers who
passed upon the validity Of the title. But Mr..
Henderson now represents the Commissioners
a. saying that Gin no instance had the purchase
been made by A acting - an agent for the Com
missioners, and the title passed to him, and then
the property conveyed to the District;
that they had, however, employed agents to
obtain information - to what sites they could
buy for school purposes." It was not asserted
in the statements respecting purchases Of the
sites Of public buildings that the Districts
agent inserted his own name as intermediate
purchaser between the owner and the District,
but the facts pointed strongly to the conclusion
that there was Q nominal intermediate pur-
chaser representing the Districts agent, who
conveyed to the District at large advance on
the price which the owner received. But it is
of course immatsrial whether the intermedi-
ate transfer il made in the name Of
the Districts agent or in that of
some other person. not the real party in inter-
est. Nor can the Commissioners mean that the
only employment Of the agents was to furnish
them information. The published statements
showed transfers Of property from the owners
to third parties who never appeared in the
matter, and transfers ON the same day or inn
mediately thereafter to the District at q mnch
larger price, the Districts agents conducting
The entire transaction. Against the Commits
sioners' theory that the owner and not the Dis
trict paid these agents stood the fact that the
owners were ignorant Of the double deal, and
il they paid men from three hundred to q
thousand dollars in each case for doing the Dis
tricts work, in addition to paying their own
selling agents, they did so unconsciously and
involuntarily, and are disposed to apply to
such enforced payments a harsher term

Monday in relation to the time within
which the Southern Pacific Railroad
Company proposes to remove its tracks

days, whereas the proposition was twenty
months from the date OF the franchise
when granted. The matter will come up
before the Council on Monday afternoon,
when the representatives of the Southern
Pacific Company will present an amend
ed franchise. 1t proposed by the rail-
road company to remove the track on
San Pedro street between Pine and Sew

pleted the big brick block which is SO
fine an ornament to the city, on the cor
ner of Spring and Second streets, and
now. like Alexander the Great, he is
looking about for new worlds to conquer,
that is in the industrial line. He and
MIR. Frankenfield own a fine lot on the
corner of Fort and Sixth streets, a part
OF the st. Vincent property. This is the
objective point of the enterprising Major s
next campaign. 1t is quite probable that
big three story brick will at an early
day grace that fine corner. So grows the
city. One big enterprise is scarcely com.
pleted when another is begun. So il
will be for many year.
