The proposed consolidation Of the
leading street railways of San Francisco
will be accomplished soon under the
name Of the San Francisco Cable Rail-
vay Company. They are consolidated
under capital stock Of SIG, 100000, di-
yided into 1000 shares. The deal was
engineered by H. E. Huntington, the
principal argument in Its favor being it
would do away with the hauling Of empty
ears and save cutting one another's
throat. There will be one salary list,
fewer cars and consequently fewer en-
ployes. The Market Street Cable Com
pany will hold controlling interest or
4 proportion Of the stock of eight out OF
ten shares.
Judge Morrow has denied bail to the
Ave Los Angeles Chinese now at San
Francisco awaiting the decision OF the
limited States Supreme Court on their
anpeal from the District Courts decision
DENYING them writs Of habeas corpus.
This makes curious complication. The
Chinese are at present confined in the
Alameda county Jail, though according
to Judge Ross decision they cannot be
imprisoned, as they have committed no
crime. They cannot be deported because
Of their appeal to the Supreme Court,
and they cannot go free because OF that
anneai. The Chinese will bring suit
aeainst Marshal Gard for false imprison-
ment. If he releases them, he will be
vuiIty Of contempt OF court OF the north
ern district of California, which has re-
fused them bail. If he does not release
them, he Is liable for damages on the
ruling of the District Court OF Southern
California that they are not criminals
and cannot be imprisoned.
