instead OF simply at stations. Intending
shoppers did not travel. Residents of East
Oakland, where innumerable homes have
been built on the understanding OF free
transportation to work in Oakland, patron
lied omnbuses or electric cars in hocks.
The new system had its other side, of
course. This came from the passengers
who missed some of the crowding incident
to Tree travel. But even the regular pas
sengers contended that the regulation of
free travel could be managed without such
dangerous expedients as locked doors.
On the whole, the people OF Oakland
took the change in digDi Difed manner.
There was widely expressed Indignation
and resen ntment against the slippery eva
! sion of the law, the hot heads INDUCED In
| jeeIs. and in some cases, threats. but the
| predomin ant feeling appeared to be reli-
ance on justice and the City Councils will
| ingness to obtain 1t.
| Apart from the feeling that the system is
too expensive for the railroad TO continue
| long, there exists in Oakland a deep
seated sense of wrong, of injury sustained
| through this despOtic act. People consider
| that a contract was entered into between
| the city and the road, and because the road
| finds Ii is losing money by Its contract il
| Is seeking to eyade its conditions. The
people object TO being treated like chill
dren and being forced into changing all
| their business arrangements simply by a
tricky device. They are waiting TO see
what the City Council intends doing about
it next Monday.

CURED and may occur again. This week
| serious accident occurred at Oak
street station, and it was only owing to the
fact that there was no one on board the
flyer" which was run into by the local,
that no one was hurt.
Boys who chung to the cages or obtain ed
fo0thold between the iron stancbions and
the steps were numerically dubbed by
! the gatemen until they relinQuished their
! hold. But some managed TO ride free not-
| wlthstanding.
! The gates were kept open on both sides
while the trains were on the mole and
until they reached Bay street. On the
Lake Merritt tresile one gate was left
open on each side of tile train between
every two cars. There were no changes
in the train schedule. though the morning
trains were late.
| The High School students were per.
mitted to ride free. This is understood
TO be temporary arrangement. School
! children In lower grades are not accorded
the same privilege. The reason given was
| that they live near their schools and might
walk.
The innovation caused a great deal of
talk throughout Oakland, and there were
many gatherings along the line. Peo-
pie did rot understand the arrange
ment, and many would have made a stand
against ii. but on the slightest objection
all recalcitrants were suffered TO ride free.
This was evidently part of the railroad
pOlicy-to Introduce the thin edge OF the
wedge at all costs.
About 200 of the employees OF the jute-
mills, who usually rode from their homes
near Fruitvale to Clinton station, walked
the distance yesterday.
"Wait and see what the Council does on
Monday night" was what was said.
Mayor Pardee said that in his opinion
the railroad was splitting hairs. Its ac-
tion rested on the difference between
'tweedle-dum and tweedle-dee."
when the city granted the railroad its
charter" said the Mayor, ''it had no idea
that the corporation would collect or charge
fares between the stations-In other words
the city meant travel in the corporate
limits to be free. AS to the law in the
matter. | must refer you to the City At
| torney."
City Attorney johnson explained that
the action of the railroad was not so much
an infringement of the law as an evasion
| OF the law.
The company had not been granted a
franchise which stipulated for free rides,
| but one which was governed by an act for
bidding the road to charge fares between
stations in Oakland. The railroad evaded
this by nominally selling tickets between
station in Oakland and station outside
of Oakland. Whether the evasion of law
was tenable In the courts was extremely
| doubtful.
| Chief Schaffer received visit from
Superintendent A. d. Wilder and Stephen
Gage Of the Southern Pacific last night.
| They stated they were fearful of trouble
in East Oakland and were promised pro-
| lection II needed.

Reasonable Speed.

Satisfied the Railroad Can Run at q
Reasonable Speed.
An informal meeting of the Council as a
committee of the whole was held behind
closed doors in Mayor Pardee's office last
night. A majority report was presented
and the following changes will be re-
ported to the Council on Monday night.
First-Tbat the eighteen-mile clause of
the speed ordinance shall be so changed
as to read twenty miles.
Second-That the eight-mile clause shall
be so changed that it shall not apply to
trains that stop at all stations, as such
stations are now located.
Thlrd-That new section shall be added
SO that the speed of all trains operating on
Seventh street shall not be greater than
twelve miles between the western end of
Washington street and the eastern end of
| Franklin.
! Foarth-That the fre-limit ordinan ce
shall be changed so that it shall apply be-
tween 100 feet east of Broadway and 100
! feet west of Washington street.
The speed chart prepared by the rail-
road company from the traclngs made by
the speed Indicator when it was run two
| weeks ago was carefully studied, and the
members of the Council expressed the
opinion that this chart was in itself a
! complete Iefutation of tha statements of
the Southern Pacific officials before the
Ordinance and judiciary Committee on last
| Wednesday night-.hat the trains could
not make the boats under the present
speed restrictions.

to let any one get on board unless he pro-
duced a ticket. The gates were locked
between stations. and had an accident
occurred, such as is narrated in to-day's
dispatches from Michigan. the helpless
passengers must have perished like rats in
trap.
There are apparently two issues pre-
sented in this overt attack by the railroad
upon free travel through the Oakland
streets. The first is the question of legality.
or whether the railroad is vindicated under
the law in charging fares between local
stations in the face of an act OF the Legis-
lature forbidding 1t so to do. The second
question is the alleged danger of the step.
There is third Onsideration-the disre-
gard of the wishes and conveniences OF the
pe0ple-but that is something which the
Southern Pacific apparently cares little
for.
With insinuating force the railroad in
troduced the gates, converting the cars
in to movable cages. There were plenty of
Deputy Sheriffs, police officers and rail-
road heel-rs OH hand 10 head off remon-
strances or open indignation, and instruc-
tiOns were issued to work the game
smoothly School children were to be al
lowed to travel free People without tick
and warned to secure ticket next time.
There was To be no actual violence. These
tactics were thought to evince weakness
on the part of the monopoly.
And the people?
Thousands of workmen had TO walk to
and from their work. A great many pat

the same fare, accommodate passengers

And the Southern Pacific smiled: "We've

ing to do about II, anyway?"
For yesterday in face of general pro-
test on the grounds Of safety. convenien ce
and custom the Southern Pacific Railroad
Company suavely introduced the iron
lattice gates on the Seventh-street local
train.

work yesterday. These doors were locked
between stations and guarded en- route by
''Southera Pacific Company train gate
men," as the lettering on their caps
showed.
The gatemen were furnished with ex-
plcit Instructions and were also directed
to use discretion until the people became
used to the change and not to provoke q
conflict.
There were fifty-five train gatemen and
eight ticket-sellers engaged at wages
averaging $50 month. Against this ex-
pense of $3.50 month about 800 scent
tickets were sold, realizing about $25. At
tickets were sold.
The general travel was very light all
day. many persons patroniziDg the electric
cars. A line of omnibuses carrying pas
sengers to West Oakland for 212 cents a
ride also drew patronage.
The ubiquitous boy stood at the stations
and Jeered at the Gagged passengers,
comparing them to circus animals or con-
victs.

Such were the fiouts that greeted the
Gagged ones, but they were met by mercen-
ary cries among the hirelingS standing
around the various depots:
well. we'll; this is good thing No
more train-jumping accidents now; no
more crowdlng OF deadheads. The rail-
road IS doing good work here" And so
on. But tie words were so palpably
prompted that the little by-play had no
effect.
