BAGGAGE SMASHING.
When Trunks Are Damaged, Railways Are
Ready to Pay the Bill.

When Trunks Are Damaged, Railways Are
Ready to Pay the Bill.
1t is not generally known that the trans
fer companies in New York, Chicago and
other cities expect to pay for the baggage
they smash, and it seems about time to
bring that fact to the attention of the pub
lie. Every railway baggage master is re-
quired to give the transfer companies a re-
ceipt for all the baggage he receives and
will not accept package unless it is
in good order. The same rule is applied
when the transfer company receives bag
gage from the railroads. so that if trunk
is delivered at it's destination in a damaged
condition tho blame can be traced and laid
where it belongs.
Mr.. S. W. F. Draper, general manager
of the New York Transfer company, tells
me that they have to pay several thousand
dollars every year for damaged baggage
and often are required to give indemnity
even for the loss of strap. In order to
secure themselves they carry an accident
insurance policy of $12, ZOO, and this not
only covers damages to baggage, but ac-
cidents to their wagons or drivers OF
horses. If one of their wagons happens to
run over child or take the wheel off a
buggy, the accident insurance company
pays the bill.-New York Letter in Ch;ca-

THE COMPANY DISBANDS.

special dispatch to the San Fran

following account OF the movements OF
the Hauley company:

inert, who is Hanley's wife. will be sent
TO San Francisco, the starting point OF
the compaDy's dramatic career.
The company was taken out by Luther
Claf1in, the San Francisco architect,
and j. p. Howe. each OF whom, Clatiin
says, was to have put up working
capital of $4,000 cash. Olaflin's money
was promptly forthcoming. Howe ins
sisted that his share would be paid over
when the company reached Portland.
BY that time he had drawn several hum
dred dollars for expenses, and his share
OF the general capital not appearing, his
services were dispensed with.
The company played the sound cir
cult and then went to British Columbia
At Vancouver Hanley went on spree
which lasted for several days. He had
taken gold cure, and his actions. it 10
said, we're those OF a crazy man. This
dissrranged the compsny's time and
was the beginning of the end.
Hanley was finally prevailed upon to
sign the pledge before Father Nicolay of
Victoria, since which time he has not
touched drop of Intoxicating liquor.
Last Monday night he demanded $40
from Clafiin before he would 20 ON with
the performance, intimsting. go Arthur
l.. Lotta, the coUpany's acting man
ager, says, that the count of the house
was not being correctly reported to him.
Hanley wanted the $40 to pay his ho-
tel bill. He was given it, but Mr..
Claflin told him that he Was through
with the tour. Ciafin notified the com.
psny that he would send them back to
San Francisco and assume all liabilities
to date. This he is arranging to do.
Mr.. and Mrs. Han!ey will not accom-
pany the company back to Vancouver.
The time contracts with the Northern
Pacific for transportation back to St..
Paul were cancelled. and for the time
being the company returns to the sound.
The story of Hanley's "time" at Van
couver had preceded him.
Small houses followed, 80 that the re-
ceipts have not covered expenses. and
nothing was left, Mr.. Claf1in says. out of
which to pay Hanley his agreed 32 per
cent OF the net receipts. During the
first part of the tour the nightly re-
ceipts ran from $3.50 to 1926, and had
they thus continued the trip would have
been succes.
The company will leave on Sunday If

THAT SALOON LICENSE.
PROSPECT THAT MARKWALDER
WILL WITHDRAW IT.
The Police Commission Intimates as
Much, and tho Merchants Are
sased-Yesterdsy's
Meeting.

The Markwaldsr saloon license which
was granted BY the police commission
last Tuesday for liquor store at 146
North Spring street, was again the
cause of much objection before the
commission yesterday. Representative
business men and property owners on
tho street where the saloon ia to be
established we're present, as cn the dag
before, to protest against it. Whether
their protestation has done any good or
not remains to be seen, for the commis-
sion failed to take definite action. How
ever, there seemed to be an understRnd-
ing that Markwalder would withdraw
the Objectionable license application
end, ON the promise OF compromise,
the commission deferred the matter un-
til next Tuesday.
The merchants present in opposition
to the license held a general discussion,
covering the came points as on the pre-,
vious day. A more or less heated argus
ment was INDUCED in between Mr..
Jevne and Walter Moore and Major Fur.
rev and Walter Maxwell, but nothing
serious resulted.
The most important feature of the
discussion was ]. H. Braley's announce
ment that il the commission did not re-
woke the license, Markwalder would
have the posit opposition of all the
business men, and that as soon az possi-
BILE he would be made to close up.
Every merchant present said that an
other saloon in the block would be
positive detriment to the business in
terests OF that part of the city. One
point Mr.. Braley made was that another
saloon would cause ladies. many of
whom patronized his bank, to shun the
street, for it is we'll known, he said, that
ladies do not care to pass a saloon door.
1t seemed to be all discussion and no
action, and 70 relieve the monotony
Mayor Rowan suggested that the other
commissioners follow him into his pris
vate office for a few moments to discuss
the question.
Twenty minutes later, when the COM
mission emerged with smiling faces and
sort of "we've-got-it-fxed" look, every.
body, and especially the aggrieved busi-
mesa men, held their breath to hear the
result.
Suddenly Commissioner Bosbyshell
broke thes pell by saying there WAS
probability that an amicable settlement
could be made of the whole matter, and
upon the understanding that the appli-.
cation would be withdrawn, he moved
a postponement until next Tuesday.
The motion was unanimously carried,
and all the business men seemed
pleased at the prospect Of satisfactory
settlement,

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE WORD wAo.
some OF Its Various Meanings as Explained
by Mr.. Gratebar.

by Mr. Gratebar.
81 rather like the word wad," said Mr..
Grateber. II suppose that in its COM
monest significance it would apply to al
most any mussed up bunch of stuff-a
handkerchief, for instance gathered up
loosely and pressed together in the hollow
Of the hands as one would round snow
ball, would be a wad. A bank note would
be in wad if it were all rumpled and
rolled up in a bunch. A number of bills
jumbled and rumpled and twisted up to.
gether any way would be described as
rolled up in regular wad.
"While the word thus conveys primari-
ly the idea of disorder, if not confusion,
1t has in some of its applications to money
pther and very different meanings In
an account of a highway robbery we might
read, The robbers got away with his
wad.' Here wad would refer to the con-
tents of the victims purse, and it would
apply alike to 81 or 81, ,0oo or to $2.50 1t
would mean the sum of the victims pos
sessions in money whatever it might be.
"Another wad would be the wad refer
red to when we say: The colonel offered
to back his opinion with the hard cash.
He got out his wad and proceeded to strip
$40 bills from the back of it, saying that

as big around as q middling sized tum-
bier, or nearly SO. 1t is not imperative
that the bills should be all Of large de-
nomination. Wads have been known that
had wrappers of flfties and filters Of ones,
but bulk Is essential
IT once read of a wad of this sort that
was said to be as big around as a stove
pipe Perhaps something of the size Of
this wad was due to a somewhat horid
style of description, but I would not lessen
it by single bill. A wad of that size is
pleasant to dwell upon. New York Sun.

Tho Attorneys Have Their Innings in
the Pratt Csse.
The Pratt case was further argued
yesterday. Charles F. Hanlon OF San
Francisco made q strong argument,
proving himself versatile pleader and
erudite lawyer. In brief, he said Judge
S;lent's address was insincere, but able
in the statement of facts not proven,
and able in the distortion and contor-
ton of facts proven. He scored Gen.
eral Mansfield. and claimed that he,
had never been able to get Mrs. Pratt to
Los Angeles till her son Charles died
that the blow of divorce from her
husband. whom she worshiped even
after the divorce, and the terrific grief OF
her sons loss, unsettled her mind, and
thereupon the Mansfelds, for the first
time, brought her to Los Angeles, and
got deeds to lands and thousands of
dollars from her while she was an imbe-
cile; and that the court appointed Mrs.
Goodspeed's attorney, E l.. Campbell.
over Mrs. Pratt's estate, after adjudg-
ing that che was insane and totally unfit
to look after her own property.
Mr.. Hanlon also called attention
to the testimony OF General Mansfield
given in deposition before the trial
came up, where he admitted that in
June. 1886. Mrs. Pratt spoke TO him
about adding a codicil to her will, but
she spoke go incoherently that he and
she could not conduct the conversation.
and he advised her to drop the subject
then because of the bad condition of her
mind. He argued that the Manstields
had called as witnesses mere calling ac-
quaintances. but did not put Mrs. Name
field and Mrs. Cross on the stand. for
they knew that cross-examination,
would expose their own letters and
depositions, in which the mental inca-
pacity OF Mrs. Pratt was established.
The argument goes on again on Monday.
