The Santa Fe Reported TO Have
Notified the Interstate COM
fnerce Commission.

Local railway men have received infor-
nation that rates will in all likelihood be
restored OH April s. a pant al agreement
had been reached 10 stop the war and re-
store fares on April l. This came to
naught through disagreement b t cen
he Union Pacific and the Santa Fe over
souri,. 1t is now said that the disagree
ment was not so pronounced as the dis
patches make il, that truce has been
made and the war will cease.
II have il on good authority" said a
well-informed railway man yesterday,
that The Santa Re has just given the re-
Quired ten days notice to the Interstate
Commerce Commission of its intention to
restore eastbound rates on AprIl 5. That
means that the war is about at an end"
The rate war has had the effect of prac-
tically nullifyiDg the local passenger assu-
citation for the time being, though upon
the restoration of the rates, there appears
to be no doubt that the lines formerly act
ing within that organization will go back TO
the old condition OF things.
Ii is claimed that the announced redu =
tion in rates does not represent the real
loss 10 the railroad companies. The roads
ceased to pay their quotas to the local
passenger association and were not forced

allowing of commissions on the sales of

accurate statement Of receipts and of the

has been published.
q little boy and lime came very near
causing a catastrophe out at the fair and
did succeed in creating no small amount of
CONSERVATION among several hundred
musicians.
The sport began at Boone's wild animal
show. The arena band was playing in
front of the building trying to help the
spelier out when the youngster happened
along completely absorbed IN an endeavor
to suck the juice from lime.
Perhaps the boy did not know just how
badly Re was loaded, and maybe he was
entirely innocent of any desire to do harm
by his facial contcrtions. but in less than a
minute he had every musicians mouth in
sight so badly puckered up that the men
positively could not play until a guard
chased the boy away.
Then the youngster wandered over
toward the bandstand where Sousa was
holding forth. This time he knew the sort
of weapon he possessed and planned TO
use it most effectively. He arrived near
the bandstRnd Just as cornet solo was
being rendered and worked his way
through to the very front of the crowd.
Then he began TO operate on the lime.
The solclst caught sight of him, made q
frantic effort TO 60 on with the tune and
then completely collapsed. Soloist Bates
of the Vienna orchestra next fell a victim
to the Juvenile. and then. after fruitless
search for more bands to conquer, the
lime was allowed TO resume its cholic-
creating mission.

AN OLYMPIC EVENT.
Captain Elliott to Resign From the
Athletic Association.

The Olympic Club athletes were de-
lighted over the 100-yards handicap which
took place yesterday al the grounds south
of Golden Gate Park. Without doubt il
was one OF the best events in its way seen
here for long time. for although the track
was soft, and consequently "slow," good
records were made and every satisfaction
felt over the results of handicapping. The
day was favorable 10 a short dash, which
was quite a consideration. Only members
of the club competed.
The first heat was arranged with Leon
ard Gill as scratch; Bert Cnfin, 5k yards
j. C. Tilden, yards; T. w. Evens, yards
10 3-5 seconds, with Coffin good second.
In the second heat A. MahoDey had 4
Yards; J. f. Cunningham. 8 wards; How
ard Coffin, 6 yards j. 5. Egan. yards; A
C.. Hampton. 9 yards. Howard Coffin came
in first. in 10s4 seconds, ard MahoDey came
in second.
Bert and Howard Coffin, Gill and Ma
honey ran in the final heat, starting from
positions given them in the previous heats.
Gill won in 10 2-5 seconds, and Howard
Coffin was next to the tape.
The run was q remarkably good one,
the first and second heats being so very
close that the judges could hardly separate
the men, In the final heat there was not
more than eighteen inches difference
among the contestants at the tape, and il
t1nk fully quarter of an hour to tell who
won, but it was finally decided in favor
