that the Southern Pacific intends
to divide the Sunset route, placing the
line south of Tehachepi to Ell Paso in
charge of general superintendent. 1t
is further rumored that the position has
been offered K. II. Wade, at present
general manager of the Southern Cali

ton there ia believed to be 40 doubt of
its truth. AS to Mr.. Wade's acceptance
OF a position with the, Southern Pacific,
the rumor is only rumor, for no an
nouncement in connection with the mat

only yesterday from trip to Albuquer-

Manager D. B. Robinson of the Santa

officials of the Mexican line but had not

INDIGNITIES TO ROYALTY.

Bird of Freedom Called Pretty Poll
Resents the Insult.

The royal bird chafed in silence and

HIS EXCUSE IS CUSTOM.
TAX COLLEOTOR WADE FOLLOWS
HIS PREDECESSORS Eek xAMPLE.
A Distinct Provision of the City Charter
3 Set Aside Because Preceding
Oficials Did tho Same
Thing.

Considerable comment has been oc-
casioned by the report that the city tax
collector has not been in the habit of
turning over to the city treasurer the
different Gums OF money he has COL
lected until the end OF the month. It
was claimed that the greater portion of
the licenses and tax receipts for June
were locked up in several of the closed
banks.
The law as laid down by the city char
ter is very plain and seems hard to
evade. 1t reads as follows:
"It shall be the duty OF the city tax
and license collector to immediately de-
posit with the city treaaurer all moneys
receivedtby him in his capacity as tax
and license collector"
When asked about the matter yester-
day City Tax Collector Wade stated that
there was a certain amount. of the June
money in one OF those banks which had
closed. but that it had been turned over
to the treasurer today. ''Any time"
said be, latter the bank clnsed I could
have drawn the money; it was merely
on deposit, and amply secured by my
bond. 1t ls the custom, and hiss been
among all my predecessors, to turn the
tax collections over to the city treasurer
at once and to keep the licenses until
the end of the month. I really can't
say why the license money is kept that
way beyond the fact thatr,previous Gus
TOM has sanctioned the rule.
SIN regard to the tax collections. we
retain them until we have, say a thous-
and dollars. and then the amount ia
turned into the treasury. This is done to
save trouble and annoyance, which it's
transfer would occasion if made in small
amounts. The money goes from me to
the city clerk, from him to the city
auditor, and finally the city auditor
transfers it to the city treasurer. 1
would just as lief turn my collections in
every night, but do not as matter oi
convenience to myself and the other
officials. All my collections have been
regularly turned over to the treasurer at
the end OF each month, and my reports
presented to the city council the follow
ing Monday. There is no money be-
longing to the city now in any closed
bank in this city subject to my

THE RAILROADS.

Uhe Santa Fee and the Santa Monica
Wharf-NOtes
The assertion was recently made by a
contemporary that the Southern Pacific
company owned all the available land
on which the Santa Fe company could
build a line to the big wharf at Santa
Monica. and that therefore it would be
difficult for the latter company to make
any arrangements for doing business at
that pier.
This is altogether wrong, the Southern
Pacific company owns q 50-foot right Of
way, and there is at least from 150 to
200 feet left available for any railway
which desires to build to that wharf.
President Huntington is on record also
as to the policy to be observed by his
company towards the Santa Fe or any
other railway which desires the privil-
eyes of the big wharf. In effect he is
willing to give them the right to use the
wharf at a figure very much less than
which it would cost them to build a
wharf of their own. In fact remark.
ably reasonable figure would be named.
SUPERINTENDENT WRIGHT BEHEADED.
Railroad men are surprised to hear
that the veteran and popular superin-
tendent of the Sacramento division of
the Southern Pacific, J. B. Wright, has
been sumrnond to appear at headquar-
ters in San Francisco to answer charges
of having appropriated $4,000 or $4,000 of
the company's money in rebates on
gravel hauled into the city for street
paving. The notice is taken as dis
missal. after 20 years of service for the
company. Superintendent Muir of this
division was associated with Wright for
time. The Chronicle says it is be-
lieved that ]. L. Frazier, superintendent
OF the Fresno division, is the choice of

TEMPERANCE FIGHT.
PICO HEIGHTS STILL THE SCENE
OF WARFARE.
The Chase Still on for the Writer of the
Article Against Rev. Morrison.
He Writes q Very Hot
Letter.

The air is still agitated out at Pico
Heights. the pot still boils, and despite
the settlement which the court of elders
reached last Friday morning, the dance
goes merrily on. Prohibition and tenn
perance are farther from mixing than
ever before; an ice-cream soda and a
beer are mot in 1t" with these two op-
posing elements.
The chase is still on for the person
who wrote the article published in the
California Voice of May 18th, which
charged the Rev. A. B. Morrison with
smoking, and objecting to a crowd Of
hoodlums, as he is said to have desig-
mated them, who every Sunday after
noon met in his church. These youths
belong to temperance legion and if
their reported actions, which were oc-
casionally enlivened with scrap for va
riety, really took place, they must have
exemplified the precepts of temperance
fully, and proved Of decidedly edifying
character to the people of the neighbor-
hood.
The minister claims that under the
circumstances he was right In wanting
this lawless band excluded from the
house of God, especially as It is
claimed they have had several other
churches shut against them.
The charges which Mr.. Morrison
brought against Charles H. Noll were
not sustained by the court of elders,
and Mr.. Noll was cleared. Still there is
one fact which remains; some one must
have written that article, and he will be
found and prosecuted If possible. All
are on the qui vive, and there is "blood
on the face Of the moon" just now on
Pico Heights. The minister ia search
ing for the "unmentionable SCRIBE"
while the other belligerents are sum-
moning their cohorts and sitting down
to prove that ''he really does smoke"
Altogether it's pretty how-d'ye-do,
and how it will end none can tell.
The following letter was received yes
terday afternoon for publication:

EDITOR OF THE HERALD Dear Sir
Your report of the Pico Heights church
trouble In this mornings ISSUE needs a
little correction. O. H. Noll is not the
editor of the California Voice, he is
only kind of roustabout for the paper.
He brought q man known az Lucy
Blanchard's husband as witness for his
defense. Said Blanchard testified be-
fore the committee that he was editor
of the California Voice and that Noll
did not write, nor was he in any way
reponsible, for the article in dispute.
None who knew the facts believed his
evidence, but, of course, his testimony
before the committee-whod did not
know-must acquit Noll, though all be-
lieve him guilty. Blanchard. like the

Interest continues in the handball
tournament at the Athletic club. The
four teams playing last evening were all
from the club, and their friends were on
hand to cheer them on to victory or con-

The first set was between Candy and
Welcome and Ryan and Cherry. The
former won by score Of 2l-6 and 21-l0.
The winners clearly outclassed their op-
ponents and the game was too one
sided to be interesting.
The second set was more exciting.
Tie teams were more evenly matched,
and some very pretty plays were made
by both. Prayer and McStay were the
winners and Cochran and Sanders the
plucky but less fortunate team. The
score was 2l-13 and 21-1l.
