Hamilton will take the came ground.
The company has sent men to me en-
deavoring TO change my views in this
matter, but propose to see that these
property owners are taken care OF. The
worst part of this business is that the
Southern Pacific has decided to cross
Colorado street, aud will not stop until
it gets north and east outlet through
the city. Agents OF the company have
stated as much to me.
Propositions have been made to
them to cross parallel to the Santa Fe.
but the COMPANY is determined to cross
north of Broadway. Another track
across this street would be terrible, and
the entire northern portion of the city
would be injured by the road running
through it.
"The company claims to have settled
with majority of the property owners
on Broad way. l know personally that
such is not the case. They have an
idea that if they settle with few of the
big owners that the council will let
them run over the little fellows. They
will find they are mistaken. The COM
pany would not come into town unless
it expected to get through and up the
valley east. This is one thing that
makes the granting of the franchise a
serious matter, leaving out all other
considerations"
Councilman Hamilton was not at
home Yesterday. His views on the mat
ter are. however, well known. He is
determined that the company shall
settle before getting in.
A number of business men and citi-
zeas were also interviewed.
Mr.. Wiley of the firm of Wiley &
Greedy said: II should like to see the
Southern Pacific company come in, but
L want the council 20 make them settle
up with the property owners on Broad
way before they give them any fran
chise. The plan Of arbitration seems
fair. and the company should not kick
about paying its just debts."
Mr.. Frank Smart said: II know a

if this company is allowed to come up

PASADENA STILL PROTESTS.
The Southern Pacific's Pre-
daceOus Undertaking.
The Company Must Submit to Arbi-
tratiOn or Stay Out.
Major Lukins Speaks Some wholesome o
Truths-IntervIew With Busi-
ness Men,

It looks as if the Southern Pacific
Railway company. of Kentucky, is going
to have decidedly hard time working
its Wholesale grabbing schemes on the
good people of Pasadena. The demands
of the company have at last reused the
ire of the usually quiet people in the
beautiful city under the shadow of the
Sierras and they have decided that the
Southern Pacific shall come to reasons
able terms or stay out. It's demand
that an entire avenue be turned over to
its use was bad enough but when the
company refused to pay the just dam
ages to the property owners along the
route that was little too much.
Every attempt was made by citizens
and interested property owners to get
the company to agree to some fair
means of settling the question of dam
ages. A board OF arbitration was pro-
posed and the council offered to appoint
two members allowing the company to
appoint two, these four to name fifth.
The property owners along the avenue
sentin signed petition asking
that the DOarQ ne appointed ana agrees
ing to abide BY it's decision. And what
was the answer Of the Southern Pacific
to this fair and honest proposition !?
Superintendent Muir went to San Franz
cisco, consulted with the powers that
be, at the corner of Fourth and Town
send street. including the mighty Hunt.
ington, and came back. "The company
would have nothing to do with any such
a proposition; they would have the franz
chise free Of all restrictions or they
would stay out of the town. Arbitra-
ton was unheard OF. Let the council
grant the franchise and the company
would deal with them in it's occus tom ed
liberal manner" The bluff Of staying
out of the town. however,, did not work.
and now the company is taking differ
ent tack, which will, however. prove as
fruitless as its first attempt to hoodwink
the people. The company now claims
that it has settled with nearly all the
property owners, ald that those unset
tied with are unreasonable. How true
this ia may be gathered from the follow
ing interviews with Mayor Lukens and
other prominent citizens:
Mr.. Lukins said: II still maintain

ming of this matter. l believe the road

COUNCILMEN RIDE FREE,
A STREET CAR FRANCHISE HAS
BEEN RECOMMENDED.
1t Was Only = Question OF the Weight
of Ralls-Now Cars Have Boon
Ordered.

The new franchise for electric street
railways which Mr.. Larrabee has aeked
the council for on behalf Of the electric
company, was discussed by the board Of
public works OF the council yesterday,
and q recommendation will be pre-
sented on Monday that the franchise be
granted.
The only change from the ordinance
ss it was presented to the council last
week was that the weight of the 1T"
rails shall be 40 pounds to the yard, in
stead OF 35 pounds.
The franchise requires the company
to electrizs and operate the horse
car lines on Washington street and
Kuhrtz, inside OF eight months from the
granting OF it, and to electrize and
operate the cable lines inside OF two
years.
Superintendent Aikens of the Con.
solidated Electric company was pres.
ent. and when the communication
from the chamber OF commerce
regarding the inadequate facilities now
afforded was read, stated on behalf of
the company that 20 new cars had been
ordered by the company and will
be placed upon the lines OF the city now
complained of upon their completion.
This explanation seemed to thaw ont
the coolness as it were between the
councilmen and the representative
OF the railway company, and Mr..
Rhodea improved the opportunity to
bring up the matter of free transporta-
tion on street csrs for the mayor and
members of the common council.
Mr.. Teed took hand in this argu-
ment, asserting that the committee OF
investigation of the chamber OF COM
merce had been badly advised. City
Attorney Mcfarland had informed him
that the placing of clause OF this kind
in the ordinance did away with the
necessity for issuing passes, and all the
mayor or councilmen have to do 10 to
get on the cars and ride, and the con.
ductor must be able to recogn zs coun-
Gilman or mayor at q glance or else lose
his job.
The new franchise will make il neces-
sary for the company to abandon the
viaduct on San Fernando street, and the
route from the Downey avenue bridge
will be changed 30 that the cars will
run up Main street and only cross the
Southern Pacific tracks at one place on
the route.

The complaining witness was A. J.

Reshaw's house to get some bedding

decide on giving up the articles and a
general war OF tongues ensued. Accord

ZONE SYSTEM IN HUNGARY.
Cnicial Figures sl,ow II Is Complete


Three years ago the Hungarian gov
ernnent adopted the zone system Of
rates for railroad fares. The principle
involved a large reduction IN rates, es-
pecially to long-distance travellers. WITH
Buda-Pesth as = center. the circuinfer-
ence OF the first zone was about one hum
dred miles away, the second two hun
dred, and so on to the extreme limits of
hungary. Onlya slight reduction in rates
was made in the first zone, much larger
in the second. and increasingly larger
in the outer zones. The gross reduction
was in the neighborhood Of sixty per
cent. Hungary was an ideal place for
trying the plan. as all roads run to
Buda-Pesth ana the city itself was prac-
tically in the center of the country.
Railroad 1nen everywhere declared the
plan forrdoomcd TO failure. even where
the conditions were as favorable as in
Hungary.
The first official figures on the sys-
tenn have been published. Commenting
on them, Transport says:
Excellent results have. according TO
the official figures just published, been

tenn on the railways OF hungary. The

1t Established ~" Fact That There Are
Some Rights Which Can't Be Waived.
A defendant in a IlurJcrCasc in New
York state was once placed on trial be-
fore jury Of twelve. says the Brook
lvn Eagle. A member of the iury died
DURING his trial. The prisoners coun-
sci agreed with the district attorney
that the trial should continue before
eleven jurors and that no record of the
death of one of their number should he
entered on the minutes Of the court.
The prisoner was convicted and sen
fenced to punishment. An appeal was
afterwGrd taken TO the effect that
neither his counsel nor the district az
torncy nor the court nor the prisoner
had right TO waive the lattcr's right
to a trial 10y twelve jurors. The con
viction was set aside for that reason.
As, however, nothing IN the record
showed in a formal and official way
that the trial occurred and that the
verdict was rendered ly less than
twelve jurors. it was also held chat the
man had been put once in jeopardy
and could not bc ruJ twice i'll the same
position. lie was therefore, dis
charged. He was thus tried and not

that when he waived his own right nc
impaired their right in their trial and
