V|N|NG ON CAR-FENDERS,
The Superintendent Takes No
Interest in the Supervisors
Recent Order.
AN EXHIBITION SATURDAY.
Four New Appliances VIII Be Sub
mitted for the Approval OF
the Board.

Two months have elapsed since the
Board of Supervisors granted the Market
street Gable Company an extension of
ninety days in which to place on their
cable and electric cars some sort of life
saving device.
Up to the present time the company has
made no effort of its own accord to comply
with the law. If the other railway officials
Of the Southern Pacific are as careless
about the matter as Mr.. Vining seems to
be, it is question of grave doubt whether
the cars will ever be furnished with any
thing more pretentious that the present So
called fender. superintendent Vining was
asked yesterday what progress the COM
pany was making toward securing a fender
that would at least be satisfactory to the
Supervisors, even if it did not offer i'm
munity to life and limb.
81 am just from the East" said Mr.. Vim
ing, land have nothing to say. l know
nothing OF car-fenders and 1 don't care to.
Speak to my secretary across the hall, pos
slbly he can tell you something about
them"
Mr.. Winnings reply seems to indicate that
the Southern Pacific will follow the course
pursued by the street railroad presidents
OF Philadelphia few years ago. A safety
attachment for street cars was offered
them, and a meeting was called to discuss
the advisa billty of adopting the invention
What will it COST" they asked. Fifty
dollars carr was the reply. The presi-
dents clphered up the total cost, compared
1T with the damages they had been paying
for accidents, and concluded it would be
cheaper to run over people and pay for it
than to adopt the new invention.
The Market-street corporation is doing
something, however, toward complying
with the last order issued by the Board of
Supervisors. They are furnishing the cars
free OF cost to those who have invented
tenders and desire to give practical test
of their ability to do the work required.
The only condition imposed on the inven-
tive genius is that he shall pay all ex-
penses incident to putting his idea into
actual operation.
According to Superintendent Winnings
chief clerk, Mr.. Jessup. there are four car
tenders now ready to be inspected by the
Supervisors. The test was to have taken
place to-day, but for reasons which the
secretary did not explain, the exhibition
has been postponed until Saturday. Mr..
Jessup does not speak encouragingly of
any of the devices that will be submitted
to the Supervisors for their acceptance or
rejection, though be is equally careful not
to say anything directly against them.
eve made private trial of the fender
offered by ]. A. Johnson" he said yester-
day, "and we found it practically worth
less. Since then the inventor claims to
have made certain Improvements which
overcome the difficulties encountered in
the private test. His fender, along with
three others, will be given public trial
next Saturday. The other tenders are
patented by James E. Marclay, Tucker &
Steck and s. DucaS."

500 that can be used for this purpose. The
exhibit will be collected by the California
State Board of Trade. Of the 300 Super
visors in the State, it is believed that at
least 100 will be in attendance upon the
convention. AS the Board of Trade was
instrumental in getting Governor Budd to
call the convention, a committee consist
ing of General N. P. Chapman (the presi-
dent), Senator George G. Perkins, W. II.
Mills, Colonel John P. Irish and G. M.
Wooster was appointed to represent the
board in the convention. Governor Budd
telephoned that he was not sure of being
able to attend to call the convention to
order. If he does not, General Chapman
will perform this service.

George Green Has Not Been Heard Of
Since October.
Robert Green reported at police head
quarters last night the strange disappear
ance of his father, George Green. In Octo-
Der last Green and his two eldest sons
