TIE ERIN BOYCOTT.


Probability That It Will Result in
Rate War.
CHICAGO, June 15.-The boycott of the
Lake Erie and Western by the Western
Passenger association is dead and will
not come to life again. The proposed
boycott has stirred up considerable feel
ing among the association lines, and
there ia a strong probability that the
matter may result in rate war over ex-
cursion business.
The Alton today notified Chairman
Caldwell that it would take no part In
the boycott. as it was necessary for it to
meet the competition Of the Atchison
and prevent the latter from taking the
bulk OF the business from the Lake Erie
and Western. This statement on the
part of the Alton is taken with large
grain of salt by the other lines, as the
Atchison is in no position to get any OF
the Lake Erie and Western business,
and besides General Passenger Agent
DAILY of the Lake Erie and Western is
credited with the declaration that he
intended to send the business over the
hibUn TOhuy bOyCObb VI ho bCy OOWs
General Passenger Agent Charlton of
the Alton, in his letter to Chair
man Caldwell announcing that the
Alton road could take no part
in the boycott took OCCASION to mildly
censure the chairman for his haste in
declaring the boycott. Chairman Csld-
well replied today that he had acted in
no undue haste, and that he had taken
no action Whatever until he had OBJ
tanned the assurance of the Alton road
that whatever action he should take
would be approved by the Alton, who
had contracts with the Lake Erie and
Western for this very business over
which the trouble 10 now arising. When
the Alton had declared that it had abro-
gated its contracts with the Lake Erie
and Western, and was willing that ae-
ton should be taken against that road,
the boycott was declared and not until
that time. The Atehison intimated
very plainly today that it had no inten-
ton of letting all the traffic get away,
and it probably would, in the near fu-
ture, make the same rates for the gem
eral public from the points where the
Lake Erie and Western has made them.

THE MAXIMUM RATE.
Argument Resumed in tho Nebraska
Case.

Argument Resumed in tho Nebraska
Case.
OMAHA, June 15.-Judge Woedworth
resumed his argument in the maximum
freight ease today, and concluded at
noon. He was followed by John L.
Webster in behalf of the state board of
transportation, who will probably talk
tomorrow and Monday on his side Of the
question.
Judge Woodwork took up the ques-
ton of the validity of the Newberry
freight law, and cited decisions from
Texas statutes showing that the higher
courts had a right to render null and
void legislative acts which are injurious
and unjust to corporations az we'll as to
the common people. He argued that If
this rule was to apply here q mandamus
would have to be issued against the
state. Justice Brewer held that the
Texas decision was to the effect that the
court could eliminate the genuine
from the bad by striking out
the unconstitutional parts or any
parts in such an act. But Mr..
Woodwork contended that this could
not be done, as the constitutional parts
were 40 intsrmingled az to render the
whole act unconstitutional. He then
called attention to the cost of con-
struction OF railroads, and moved that
the testimony introduced against certain
roads showing extravaganza and cor
ruption be stricken out.
John L. Webster took up the last ar
gument OF Judge Woodwork, and said
that the courts of four states had de.
cidsd that parole testimony was not ad-
nissible to show that an act mad not
been legally passed by Legislature.
He further contended that there was
nothing in the bill of which the house
did not have full knowledge, and fully
explained the entire passage of the bill
through both houses OF the general as.

Orange Growers Organizing-Wanted for
Grand Larceny.
RIVERSIDE, June 15.-The prospects
for complete organization of the fruit
growers of this valley for the coming
season, on the plan of last year are
growing brighter every day. Since the
meeting of growers held a few days ago
a large percentage of the growers have
signed contracts with the exchange.
Those who have the matter in hand are
confident that the required SO per cent
of acreage will be obtained without dit
ficulty. The orange growers OF the val
ley recognize the advantages of the sys-
tenn OF Organization pursued during the
season just closed, and know they Jared
better under its workings than would
have been the case had their interests
been trusted to outside packers, as in
former years. Several OF the largest
growers. who last year refused to join
the exchange until the last moment and
then under protest were the first to
sign this year.
Officers are looking for George w.
Armstrong, who has lived here some
time and whose parents are wealthy

Some Changes With Regard to
the City Water.

Large.

All Library Clsims-Ofty
Ds1inquent Taxes.

The charter revision committee met
yesterday afternoon with Mr. Rhodes in
the chair, and took up the old regula-
tions governing the health department
under the old charter, and approved the
same.
The sections with regard to the es-
tablshment of grades and the improve
ment OF streets and the condemnation of
streets were referred to the city attor
ney to prepare provisions that will be
in conformity with the state laws re-
Gently passed on these subjects.
The provisions giving the city power
to erect water works and take the nee
esssry water therefor from the river was
amended to provide that the city coun-
Gil, in its Judgment can secure water
from any source desired to operate the
Aforesaid water works. In the election
clauses the Offices of city tax and Ii
cense collector, city assessor. city en-
gineei and two police judges were
stricken out.
The question of making q change in
the board of education then came up
for discussion, and it was decided to
provide for a board of education, to
consist of seven members. who shall be
elected by the people at large instead of
one member elected from each ward OF
the city. The committee then took q
recess until z o'clock.
On reassembl bling, the section with re-
gard to contracts made by the city was
read and the clause requiring the city
attorney to approve all contracts was
changed on the motion of Mr..
Nickel. as it was held that it was
not expedient to give the city at
torney the power to interfere with the
legislative functions of the council, az q
cranky city attorney might get in some
time and block the letting of all con-
tracts.
All the demands of the public library,
on motion of Mr.. Nickel, under the new
charter shsll be approved by the council
after they have been PASSED by the
board Of library directors. In the event
Of the city auditor rejecting any Of said
demands, they shall be returned to the
city council for consideration, instead of
being referred back to the library direc-
tors. The acquisitions for the library
will also have TO 60 through the same
channels.
On motion OF Mr.. Rhodes an impor-
tant section was added to the proposed
new charter, which provides that the
city shall have the authority to pur-
chase property on which the city taxes
have fallen delinquent.
The committee adjourned until next
Tuesday, when a general conference
with the city attorney as to certain legal
features which are to be embodied
therein, will be held.

CHICAGO, June 15.-Lawyers generally
believe that Judge Payne will not again
postpone the execution of Prendergast's
sentence. He intimatsd as much when
the case WAS before him for the motion
for continuance. 1t was gossip in the
room that Judge Payne had spent many
hours looking up the law in the case,
and he finds no authority giving him
the right TO issue stay of execution,
while the supieme court an6 governor
have both declined to reverse the judg-
ment of the lower court. 1t would
seem, therefore, that delays are danger
ous to Prendergast, as the date set for
his examination is July 3D.
