BEGINNING THE INQUIRY
The Latest Street Department
Mess to Be Looked Into
COMMITTEE WILL PROBE
There Is to Be No Farcical lnquisition
This Time
Witnesses Hard to Find Although They Are
the City's Pay oiIs-Residences
Not In the Directory

The BOARD of public works will meet in
special session at 2 o'clock this afternoon
as committee to investigate the mum Der
OF teams employed in the street superin-
tendents department and the ownership of
the same. The coming inquiry is the re-
suit of a resolution adopted by the council
last Monday, at the suggestion of Presi-
dent iced, who was unpleasantly men,
toned as having team in the street de-
partment in police court few days ago.
iced has publicly called the attention of
the grand jury to the charge against his in
tegrity as municipal officer, but so far
nothing has come of the matter in the
direction mentioned. The city attorneys
office is to take hand in the inquisition,
which it is promised will not be permitted
to develop into the farce similar to the
Howard Kingery Westlake school lots
three months ago. There have been sub
p9naed to testify in the case d. MITCHELL
Joe Carroll, A. f. Lester, A. W. Pioneering,
George WEIGH, Jose Arguella. H. A. Pierce,
w. Esterbrook, c. J. Howell. Nettie Lob
ring. Frank jacobson, Sam b. Ayers, j.
Hardcastle, M. A. Whiteside. The city
clerks citations for all of the above to APP
pear and give testimony reads as follows:
lou are hereby notified to appear before
the council of the city of Los Angeles, or its
authorized committee, on Saturday. Dec.
81, 1895. at o'clock pm, at room 4. in
the city hall of the said city of Los Angeles
on the east side of Broadway, between Sec
ond and Third, then and there to testify in
an investigation being held under ana by
authority of the council of said city of Los
Angeles A failure to so attend will be
punished in manner provided by law.
The subpDnas issued were on Thurs
day turned over to the police department
for service. and yesterday they were re-
turned with the statement that the follow
ing could nowhere he found:
Samuel B. Ayers, c. j. Howell, Mrs.
Nettie Lahring, j. Hardcastle. A. W. Pom
erov. A. f. Lester, Joe Carroll, f. Ester
brook and Geo. Welsh.
The police returns upon the above sub
ponas made the members of the board OF
public works mad. with the result that
Councilman Munson telephoned to Chief
Glass and asked him whether he was will
ing to acknowledge that the whole police
department., detective bureau and all, was
willing to acknowledge it's inability to 10.
cate persons who are now and have for
months been upon the city's pay rolls.
That brought Officer Davis to the city hall
in a hurry. Davis took the papers in a
hurry and swore that if the witnesses
wanted were inside the city limits he
would find them.

1t reads like one of "lifes little ironies''
that divers wife and eldest daughter
should actually take a journey to Hamp-
ton Court TO be presented to his majesty
the king. Tradition declares that later on
when the shadow of death, such as had
befallen no other English monarch, doomed
darkly over that same king Elizabeth
pleaded for his life 1t may very well
have been so. The protector wife and
mother would willingly have had fewer
honors and more security. The latter,
whom he had brought up to Whitehall to
be near him, was wont to exclaim at every
gun she heard fred, "Aly son is deadp'
1t was in that sons arms that the ven
cradle dame expired at tho age of "a, de-
string him to bury her in some quiet GEM
etery and by no means in Westminster
abbey. But Oliver would have it other
wise, and to that royal sepulcher the re-
mains of Elizabeth were borne with all
the pomp that befitted the obsequies of a
queen. Alas poor woman, she was not
permitted to rest in peace. With the res
toration came Il royal mandate for the
casting forth of certain bodies whose un-
authorized dust might not mingle with
that of England's highest. Twenty-one
corpses were exhumed and thrown into a
pit. The mother of Oliver Cromwell does
indeed sleep beneath the shadow of historic
Westminster, but it Is in dishonorcd

A MAD BAGGAGE MASTER.
An Experience With Theatrical Man
That Rufficd His Temper.

Sidney r. Ellis, the manager of Dark
est Russia" while travelling i'll the south
had an experience with a pompous bag
gage master that for once resulted in the
baggage master coming out second best.
On going To the depot to leave on an
carly train the baggage master, with the
air of "a man who owned the earth, came
up to Mr.. Ellis and said;
I'm have to charge you $40 excess on
your baggage"
"As much as that? Amt that high?"
NO. not at all. 1t will run over 1000
pounds
How do you know?" said Manager
Ellis. Have you weighed it?''
NO replied the baggage master. l
can size up trunks. That's my business. I"
well, l insist upon your weighing it, +"
said Manager Ellis, and after further ar
gument the baggage master brought out
ali old pair of scales and carefully weighed
each trunk and bit of scenery. When it
was all weighed and the different weights
added together the baggage master said,
wiping his perspiring face:
I'm make it 50. 1t doesn't quite come
up to 1000"
You can't pass it for me?" asked Man
agcr Ellis.
Pass It! l should say not, except on
an order from the general passenger
agent
well, here 1t is, d" replied Manager FL
lis, handing the permit for free express.
The baggage master is still figuring how
he can make up for the adipose tissue lost
in weighing the baggage he had to pass

Smith, the occasion being the nineteenth
annual reunion of the Smith family. A
ripple of excitement was caused by wag
who climbed a tree during discourse to
which the people were attentively listen
ing and yelled out, Hello, Smith y
Every one of the 1000 Smiths turned and
looked at the audacious fellow. Then
they smiled, and the business of the day
went on. Late in the afternoon tele-
gram was received addressed to John
Smith, and one thousand or SO of the
Smiths made a rush for it. Matters Were
compromised by allowing all the Smiths

TROLLgYS AND BATTERIES.
II is Hintsd That the Latter May Suppant the
Former.

After lapse of six years the managers
of the New York & Harlem Railroad have
determined to resume within 80 days the
running of storage battery cars on thu
city lines, says the New York Times
Arrangements have been made with the
storage battery company to equip cars fol
immediate service Six years ago q mum
Der of storage battery cars were run on
Fourth and Madison avenues In this city,
but owing to a patent litigation between
rival companies the use of the cars was
suddenly and unexpectedly eDjoined.
Storage battery traction was the first sys-
tenn to inspire the hopes of street railway
men who were DESTROYS of doing away
with animal traction. As soon, therefore,
as the storage battery had made its APP
pearance in 1880, Appropriations were begun
to utilize 1t for the purposes of traction
and the following year, 1881, storage bat
terry cars were run between the Place de
la Concorde and. Palais de I Industrie,
Paris. As that was the year of the cleo
trical exposition in Paris, the cars
attracted a great deal of attention, and
similar attempts to run storage battery
cars were made in other places, notably
at Antwerp and Brussels. In all those
places, it was found that the cars did sat
isfactory and uniform service, having
speed and sufficient power, and the only
draw back seemed to be the life of the
battery which was found, as rule, not
to be as economical as desired
While these experiments were being
carried on, the trolley system came to the
front, and, by reason Of the greater econ
omy, both of installation and service
claimed for it, the storage battery system
was neglected. Meantime, the advocates
of the storage battery kept on making
improvements, until at the present day
they are prepared, they say, to successfully
compete with the trolley system. This is
more particularly true in places where the
conduit or underground trolley must be
used if electric traction, or other than
storage battery is to be employed, Some
electricians say the conduit system canDOt
be used with success. They contend that
If 1t should prove a success from an en-
gineering standpoint, the same objections
us to the expense of installation will hold
rs in the case of a cable, so that no practi-
cal street railroad man would for II
moment hesitate to adopt the storage bat
terry in preference to the conduit
The only obstacle hitherto found In the
