OUGHT TO HAVE 1T.
What a New Contract Means to the
Potrero WOrkneu.

Advices received at tho Union Iron
Works indicate that the hope OF ultimately
receiving a contract for one Of the new yes-
sells recently bid for has not by any means
been abandoned. In the event of being
awarded contract Scott must necessarily
reduce bis bid TO the same figures as the
Cramps, the lowest bidders for the cruiser,
offered 10 construct the vessel for.
Whether the Secretary Of the Navy has
this discretion must be decided by the
United States Attorney General, and 1t is
understood that the question has been sub
mitted TO him and awaits his de-
cisioD. Another feature of the case
is that the Cramps submitted modified
plans and made bids upon them
for two vessels which are claimed TO be an
Improvement upon those framed by the
naval officials. The new plans have already
been submitted to the naval officials, who
must make q report as to their advantages
before II can be decided whether or not the
Union Iron Works will be awarded the con-
tract
In the. meantime the workmen of the
PotTero are on the anxious seat They are
most yitally Interested in the question
whether the United States is going to en-
courage ship building on the Pacific Coast.
or whether II proposes to stif1e an important
Industry at its beginning.
In case a contract is awarded 1000 men
will secure employment for three consecu-
tive years. If not the services of large
number of workmen must necessarily be
dispensed with.

rlorgan's Report Came
Near Being Lost.
A Clash Between the Comniis sion and
the State Board of Examiners
Regarding Printing.

The State Board Of Examiners and the
Railroad Commission of California had a
little falling out lately and had not Attor-
ney-General Bart acted as q peacemaker
the consequences might have been serious.
1t was all on account of that expert report
filed by man from Illinois by the name of
Morgan.
The Railroad Commission hired Morgan
without authority and asked him TO make
report on the condition of the California
railroads, with reference 10 the Shively
complaint, which latter asks that the fares
and rates of the Southern Pacific Railroad
be reduced.
When Morgan made his report the CON-
mission in Its wisdom decided to incorpor-
ate il in its annual report.
Rea, Litchfield and Beckman thought rs
long as the report was favorable TO the
railroad people il might be good ocu-
ment to send broadcast throughout the
land.
The Board of Examiners thought dif-
ferently.
There was an unauthorized document no.
body wanted and for which the State was
not responsible, and it was sent in as an
official document to be given to the public
printer at the expense of the State.
"Why should such q paper be printed
and made part of public record?" natur-
ally asked the Examiners.
"We won't dc it," they decided, and they
sent word back to the Railroad Commits
sion to that effect.
Litchfeld. the diplomat of the Board of
Railroad Commissioners, was entrusted
with the task OF Strengthening out the
tangle.
There was every reason why the commits
sion should desire the publication of the
report.
1t vindIeated the Southern Pacific Com
pany, and therefore justified every action
Rea, Litchfeld and Beckman may take in
the premises.
Only one way for escape was open and
that was an appeal to the Attorney
General.
So Litch field sought W. Z. Il. Hart and
wh lspered in his ear.
This confidential communication had the
result OF Mr.. Hart advising the Board of
Examiners that they were wrong and that
MoTgans report ought to be printed.
The outcome of the whole matter is that
within few days the populace of the great
State of California will be treated to free
distribution of doubtful EXPERTS opinion

THE HAND ORGAN IS SILENT
An Italian Arrested for Making His

Giovanni M0romano was trundling a big
hand organ along Third street yesterday,
grinding out at various places weird music
that charmed odd nickels and dimes into
the tin cup his little brown-faced daughter, =,
Il years old, was passing around.
At the corner of Third and Hunt streets
the little girl went into saloon to pass the
cup and some loafer made some insulting
remarks TO her and tried 10 kiss her. She
resisted and another loafer slapped her,
a few moments later she was crying out
on the sidewalk and ii happened that Officer
Hooker of the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Children came along and invesli-

His family of wife and FIVE or six chill

out that the organ belonged to Antoine De-
lerago of 1913 Stockton street, who was pay

STREET EXTENSIONS.
Judge Trout Holds That the Injunc-

Judge Trout rendered decision of great
interest 10 prOperty-owners yesterday,
especially to those affected by the street
extension commissions.
He dissolved the Injunction sued ont by
A. Huber TO restrain the Board of Super
yisors from receiving the report of the com.
missioners appointed TO assess benefits and
damages for the opening and extension Of
Sixteenth street beyond Castro. Judge
Trout also made similar order in the suits
brought by Johanna Clarke and J. Roche in
the matter of the extension of Nineteenth

The history of woman's work in the pulpit
is full OF hardships and struggles of the kind
that men know nothing of.
IN the earlier days. and. indeed. not so
many years ago. the woman who should
choose the pulpit must be content to bear
the scoffings OF intolerance aud the igno-
miny cast upon them by the ignorant.
But the women kept right on. Where
there was hard work and drudgery to be
done there was usually an opening for a
woman.
''She was patient and perseverng. The
more work she had the harder she worked.
Where there was ignominy and scoffing TO
bear she bore them in silence. She was
accomplishing. she was persistent Now il
is different. Intolerance Is dying out
Woman is fast gaining ground in the pulpit
as elsewhere.
From a considerable experience in the
ministry, under many peculiar difficulties,
have learned there is nothing in the profess
sion uncongenal to or uniting a Christian
woman who is prepared for it by natural
gifts and training.
"a woman's license to preach must be
found in her preaching and its practical
results. Ii she pass successfully such an
examination she Is lifted to preach. though

The Hard Luck That Has BefaIIen John
r1aca9uO


When John Macagno, an italian miner,
arrived from Mexico last Thursday he was
happy in the possession Of $500 or so which
he carried in his purse.
On Christmas night he was happy also in
a supply of Christmas cheer. About IL
o'clock he dropped into saloon on Mont
gomery avenue with recent acquaintance,
and while he was there Angelo Bergerena
and Joseph Galliano, two tough-looking &
specimens of the same race, saw him take
out his weli-filled purse to pay for some
drinks. They struck up an acquaintance,
and finding that he was living at the TOs-
cano Hotel at 3 Vallejo street, induced him,
against the protests of his friend, to accom-
pany them TO better place.
When they got him into q deserted place
on Adler street Gallano choked him while
Bergerena secured the purse.
Early yesterday morning Detective Egan
found tie fo0tpads on the Barbary Coast
aud arrested them, but did not fnd cent of
the money.
The victim of the robbers could not put
UP $500 bail to secure his appearance as a
witness and so be was locked up In the
prison hospital, where he will stay until the
case is disposed of in court.

Printing-BiII Decision.

Judge Trout has rendered decision in
the action brought by the Post Publishing
Company to compel the County Treasurer
to pay claim for S1100 for publishing elec-
tion notices as ordered by the Board of
Election Commissioners. The court holds
that the Commissioners had full power to
order the payment of the claim, which had
also been legally audited by the Auditor.
The demand was a legal one and Judge
Trout ordered that a peremptory writ
issue
