CRIMINAL LAW.

An Association That Seeks to Effect
RefoTmations.
Some of the prominent citizens of San
Diego, ex-Supreme Justice Works and
Mayor NJ. Sherman have organized a society
having for its purpose reformation of the
laws applicable to criminal trials. They
have issued circular entitled Criminal
Law Reform" in which they invit e resi-
dents of the State to join with them in or
ganizing what shall be known as "Crimi-
nal Law Reform Association" with head
quarters at San francisco aud local branch
at each county seat.
The following are mentioned as being
among the first and most needed reforms
to be urged upon the people and the Legis-
ture:
/. The extension In criminal cases OF the rule
now applicable to eiv actions that allows nine
out OF IL jurors TO return verdict.
2. The restriction OF the present rights Of email.

THEY ARE NOT INSURERS.
Sleeping Cars Arc Not Covered by the
InnkeepeTs' Law.

Sleeping Cars Are Not Covered by the
Innkeepers' Law.
Judge CARRIER decided point new in this
State by holding in the case Of Henry Koch
against the Pullman Palace Car Company
that the iEnkeepers' law does not cover
the sleeping. car on a railroad. The action
was TO recover 5000 for the loss of diamond
shirt studs and cuff buttons stolen from him
in 1888 ore night in such a car while on the
way from Los Angeles to this city. Judg-
ment was given for the defendant.
The Judge was not prepared to say that
the restriction OF liability Of the company
printed on the back of the berth check in
conformity with one of its rules is a de-
Tense. Certain, however, that the company
is not liable for any sum beyond the value
of the reasonable baggage Of the traveller.
The principal contention was that the de-
PENDANT is not an insurer, and in this con-
tentiOn. notwithstanding the conflict IN the
authorities, Judge CARRIER was inclined to
hold with the company.
The question" said he. sis one of the
first impression in this State. The weight
of, and reason of, authority seems to be
against holding that sleeping-car companies,
because of their many points In common,
insure as innkeepers. The liability OF the
latter 10 this State is based upon the stat
utes; there is no such statutes relating TO
sleepng-caTs. a sleeping-car is not an inn
'on wheels any more than steamboat Is an
inn on water
"In these modern days it is not the policy
to enforce the stringent liability of the inn
keeper known to the common law. which,
as has been observed, does not stand on
mere reason but on a custom growing out of
a state OF society no longer existing. The
mere analogy of a sleeping-car to an inn is
not a sufficient reason for holding the conf
panY operating it to the liabilities of an
innkeeper." The evidence, moreover, did
not show that the parties failed in maintain
ing proper watch or that the loss sued for
approximately resulted theTefrom.
In a second case of like character the
Judge gave judgment for $3.50 in favor Of
DR.. S. Z. Sally, who asked for S753 for the
loss Of surgical instruments and other things
Of his wife lost in the sleeper "Monero," en-
route from Colorado Springs 10 Oakland.
In this case it was clearly proved that the
porter, whose duty it was to watch the car,
had been aseep on his watch

STREETS LETT DIRTY"
Because the Contractor Wants
Too Much Per Mile.
All the Streets in the City Could Be Cleaned if
the Rate of Four Years Ago Could
Be Revived.

The Superintendent of Streets says the
Supervisors are in grave quandary over the
letting of the new contract for sweeping
streets for the next two fiscal years.
They don't know where the money is
coming from to clean all the streets-there's
so many Of them now.
at will cost $4,000 a year to clean all
the streets properly" says Superintendent
Gillerau.
Where is tie money TO come from?
That is pulling the Supervisors.
I'VE can't spend that much money for
cleaning Streets" they say.
''Some Of EN- will have to 90 dirty"
The Street Committee of the Board Of
Supervisors have thought hard over the
matter and have done lots Of figuring, bat
they can't charge the resultant some of
the streets will have to 20 without sweeping
at all
There are 90 miles OF streets in San Fran
cisco. but the total number Of miles to be
cleaned each month"; all are TO be
cleaned-is All. Some of the streets, you
know, must be swept every day, some twice
a week, ana so on, THAT'S now the total OF
AT miles is obtained.
The calendar gives u months in the next
fiscal year. Multiply 44I Oy j. and you have
1854, v hich is the number OF mlies'ot streets
that should be Kept clean during the next
fiscal year.
The present rate for street-sweeping, as
THE CALL told You yesterday, is SO Is.
1t used 10 be cneaper-but there is another
story.
THE RESULT.
IF you multiply this present eXtOrtonate
rate Of slreeI-sweeping by the number OF
miles swept each year the result will be the
total yearly cost Of sweeping all the streets
some once month and some oitener.
The result, S11l,303!
That's what il would cost 10 clean all the
streets Is it any wonder the Supervisors de-
clare some OF the streets will have 10 go
dirty?
Is there no way out OF it?
Yes. there is, and IHE CALL indicated
the way yesterday.
That mile rate Is too high.
1t is So rs too high
II is that much higher than it was four
years ago.
"Ihe city could easily keep all the streets
clean II the rate per mile could be lowered
TO what ii was four We airs agC," says Super
intendent Glileian.
The old rate was SIC 80 a mile. See the
difference It would make IN the cost Of the
work in one year:
Cost OF cleaning all the streets at the pres
Cost OF cleaning all the stteets at the otd
mile rate Sl,IH4
