" JIM"' REA'S COMMISSION.
Our Useless Railroad Board
in Session.
High.Pricsd Officials Have Fifteen Minutes
Fun Expert Morgan Wants Judge
McCorm.cks Texas Decision.

The S12.000-a-year railroad commission
was in session yesterday from 10 o'clock A.
NJ. TO 1915 o'clock-just 10 minutes.
Messrs. Rea, Beckman and Litchfeld
were in excellent humor. They laughed
and joked and they were evidently in high
spirits.
Whether they considered it huge joke
on the people of California that they are al
lowed TO draw big salaries and not do any,
thing but hold an occasiona farcical meet
ing. or whether it was something else that
tickled their fancy, is best known to them
selves only, but that the Railroad Commits
sioners felt hilarious is quite certain.
Secretary Kelly read a communication
from Richard Gray, the Southern Pacific 3
traffic manager. which set forth that owing
to a petition fled with the commission by
w. c. Hamilton Of San Jose two weeks ago,
asking that the freight rates on fruit graders
be reduced, arrangements have been made
satisfactory TO the petitioner.
a letter from Mr.. Hamilton confirming
Mr.. Gray's statement was also read.
Colonel Richard Z. Morgan. the Ohio ex-
pert, also sent a letter, in which lie an
nounces 10 the commission that he has
started out 10 earn his promised $50, 900 fee,
and that he is still actively engaged in ex-
aminng railroads. The letter is dated Au-
gust %. and the colonel requests that If an
occasion should arise which made commu-
nicati0n with him necessary within q fort
night the Commissioners should address
him al the HOllenbeek Hotel. Los Angeles
Acknowledging the receipt OF a number
OF statistical works and documents the ex-
pert concludes his letter by asking that the
full text OF Judge MeCOrmick's Texas de-
cisiOn concerning the right of the Railroad
Commission to regulate fares aud freight
rates be forwarded 10 his address.
Beckman made a motion TO Overrule the
demurrer Of the Southern Pacific Company,
and the motion was seconded by Litehfield
VINO said that he hoped that Mr.. Shively
will produce evidence which will be useful
10 the commission.
The motion TO overrule was carried. and
the time for the hearing Of the case was set
for October 3.
All these proceedings were but repeti-
tiOn Of what already mad been done at q
former meeting of the Board.
Jim" Rea said, looking at his watch,
that Mr.. Richards, Shively's attorney, had
promised 10 be present al IL O'Clock. but as
there was no need of hearing what he had
tc'sSy Mr.. Rea thought an adjournment was
in order
'Me. too," said Litchfeld and Beckman,
and the board adjourned for two weeks.
Rea wanted TO adjourn IL for six months,
but Beckman protested that the law pro-
vided for al least one meeting each month.

"Oh, where is my wandering boy" sighed
gray haired little woman yesterday morn
ing as she approached the portals TO the
municipal bastile. Then she timidly asked
the gatekeeper if John Francis Walsh was
in custody. Informed that he was locked
up for drunkenness she promptly deposited
IS bail for his release.
"Oh, the disgrace" she cried hysteri.
cally, ''oh. is this what ! have raised boy
for-to be arrested for drunkenness" and
the unhappy mother wept Historically.
Quickly she dried the tears as Ter son
John FTahcls, lubberly youth of 10, passed
out of the gate. John looked rather sheep
ish and tried TO slip past his mother, but
she gave him slap on the jaw that sent
him sprawling.
In an instant John was on his feet but
his irate ma showered blows on his head
and back as she exclaimed: Take that and
that, you cur, you villain"
IL was rare treat for the l0ungers around
the prison. John finally made his way to
the street and fed, while his infuriated
mother went into fresh fit Of Mysteries.

view Of his legal, political and military
career, has been issued by Thayer 4

sold only by subscription. The work Is
meritOrlouS in every respect, as would
De expected from the great lawyer, and
vast labor has been spent in accumu-
latiug data. The review is written in
q literary style. The account OF the
late war and the causes leading thereto
is impartial, non-partisan and accurate.
Thrilling incidents are depicted enter
tainingly and many anecdotes and remIn-
iscences OF events In which General
Butler participated personally lend to
the work the interest Of romance.
Amusing tales Of experiences in the
South are deftly blended with the clash
of the sabre aud the roar OF the battle.
Pathetic incidents Of poverty, suffering
and hardship incident TO camp and
field, city and country, high aud low,
are mingled with the grave affairs OF
the nation. The good and bad, mirth
sorrow, generosity and cruelty are all
portrayed with inpartiality. The vol

Two lassies from the Salvation Army
strOlled rather than marched up Broad
way the other night, carrying their
bundles Of VGr Cry, asking every one
they passed to buy. The the theater
performances were just over and the
streets thronged. Many were the re-
Bluffs they received, but they took It IN
good part and responded with cordial
May the Lord bless you'll" At last the
twain approached q crowd in front OF a
cafe near the Bijou Theater. Haven't
any change" said a stout, Ted-faeed
sport, whose features are always TO
be seen on the Rtalto. "All
I've got is tWenty-dollar Dill.
'Lord bless You, sir, we can change IT."
said the meek little woman IN the poke
bonnet. "All right, here you are;
owe you quarter, eh?' The soldier
girl handed over 4 paper and reached
down in her somber dress for her purse.
The purse was great bag. She slowly
counted out nine silver dollars, dozen
half dollars, and then quarters, dimes,
nickels and pennies without end. The
red faced sport was so handicapped
with coin when she gave him the
change that he could hardly move.
May the Lord bless you, sir!" said the
demure woman as she moved away.
But there was a twinkle in her eye and
q culver around the mouth that made
the crowd laugh heartily. The Saliva
tion girl had called the sports bluh'
