BOARD OF WORKS.
The Swivel Nozzle Once More Makes It's
Appearance.

The Swivel Nozzle Once More Makes Its
Appearance.
Yesterday the old fireboat swivel nozzle
matter appeared before the board OF public
works again, but no action will be taken
until q conference has been had. Chief
Kellogg sent in a communication in refer
ence to the matter, recommending that,
as the time for filling the contract had ex-
PRED, the offer of Morse & Co., of Boston,
be accepted and two 3-inch nozzles pur-
chased instead of one 4-inch nozzle; the
price for two would be the same and it had
been found that a 4-inch nozzle would be
beyond the power of the boat. Mr.. Bring
hurst explained that the firm desired to
be released because the flexible swivel noz-
zle of so large size has not been found to
be practicable.
Superintendent Wilson, Of the water
works called attention to discrepancies be-
tween receipt stubs and entries on
the books. He said it was due to loose
system of keeping the record of rebate. 1t
had been the custom for the cashier to
allow rebate where he thought it advisable,
principally where owners claimed that
houses were vacant. He considered that
there should be an enforcement of the rule
requesting notice of water not being re-
quired. There was apparently $1,000 due
on the books, most of which was caused
by tramp" renters, where the property
owners had not been charged. Commits
sioner Van Brocklin undertook to look into
the matter.
Bids were received from several team
sters for the hauling of six-inch and eight
inch pipe, and the contract was awarded
to d. McDaniels g. Co. at 80 cents ton all
around.
City Engineer Thompson reported that
the petition for grading of Pearl street had
been signed by a sufficient number of
front-foot owners.
The final estimate for Third street.
Pontius' addition, was approved by the
board. 1t calls for 81, 1853. 43 from property
owners and 1919 So from the city.
A petition was received from residents
asking that the road between Ballard
bridge and the power-house at Fremont be
put into good condition. 1t was referred
to the street commissioner for report.

Water Protection.

Water Protection.
A two-story frame dwelling belonging to
Walter Nanny, on Crawford street, be-
tween Fourth and Fifth avenues, in Bal
lard, burned to the ground about o'clock
last night.
The family was absent at the time, and
it is not known how the fire originated.
although it is supposed to have caught
from a defective tiue. The fire was dis
covered in ample time to have saved the
building if there had been any fire protec-
ton in that part of town, but it was be-
yond the reach of the fire system of the
city, and the bucket brigade that was
formed was unable to put the fire out.
Most of the furniture was saved. The
house was valued at $500 and was insured
for 5000. The furniture was insured for
$500 and the loss on it is about 500. Sew
eral of the doors and windows were torn
off and saved. The sidewalk and dwell
ings in the immediate vicinity were pre-
vented from burning by the bucket bri-
cade.

Saloons Cannot Open Till Licenses A

Actually Issued.
Hitherto the custom has been in the
city for man who applies for saloon
license to deposit his 5000 and open his
saloon at once. the license being issued
in the course of time, as it is acted upon
by the city council. But License Inspector
Salvador Ellicott has been instructed by
the mayor to see that no man be allowed
to open a saloon until the license is actu-
ally issued and in force.
Yesterday Mr.. Ellicott closed the Plum
mer house bar, which, he says, is out of
the limits.
Nicholas Kennedy, proprietor of the
''Blue Front" and "Around the Bend"
saloons, was arrested yesterday on COM
plant of the license collector, who
charged him with disposing of liquors
without permission from the city. A few
days ago he asked to be allowed to change
his Blue Front saloon license to the new
saloon which he has opened on the oppo-
site side of the street, but the council re-
fused to grant the request. 1t is now
charged that he opened the new saloon in
face of the councils opposition.

AN INEFFECTEVE Law.

If anything more was needed to make
the Interstate Commerce act ineffective
and futile, it is supplied by the decision of
Judge Gresham in the case of certain rail-
roads charged with unjust discrimination
in favor of large Chicago shippers. W. G.
Brinson, David Brown, L. Hopkins, Henry
Walker, W.R. Stocking and others refused
to answer certain questions propounded by
the Interstate Commerce commission, and
District Attorney Milchrist brought Pc
tition before Judge Gresham to compel
the production of the books and the an
swer of the questions. Judge Gresham in
a long opinion refuses to grant the petition
to compel the witnesses to testify and pro-
duce books. He says the commission was
engaged in investigating certain charges of
unlawful discrimination, and that the
court is asked to aid that body in
obtaining evidence which it is
claimed will tend to support the
charge. Congress, he says, cannot
thus make judicial department the mere
adjunct or instrument of either of the
obAoH oopal bLacIts VI government. ~ L.
doubtedly congress may confer upon a
non-judicial body authority to obtain in
formation necessary for legitimate govern
mental purposes, and make refusal to ap-
pear and testify before it touching matters
pertaining to an authorized inquiry an Of
fense punishable by the courts, subject,
however, to the privilege of witnesses to
make no disclosures which might tend to
incriminate them or subject them to PEN
alties or forfeitures.' The prosecution of
an action for violation of such a statute
would clearly be an original suit or con-
troyersy between parties within the mean
ing of the constitution, and not mere sp,
plication like the present for the exercise
of the judicial power in aid of a non-judi
cial body. So much of section 12 as au-
thorizes or requires the courts to use theil
powers in aid of inquiries before the Inter
state Commerce commission is unconstitu
tional and void, and the application II
dismissed for want of jurisdiction to enter
tain it.
If the Interstate Commerce act wont pre-
vent railroad combinations and If it can
not be used against those who defy it, it il
evident that its usefulness is about ended
No wonder the railroad lawyers and thei
employers feel comfortable.
