IT'S A FREIGHT CAR FAMINE
Riverside Needs Transportation for Its
Oranges
The Board OF Education Obliged to Rent
the Necessary Rooms-General
News Notes

RIVERSIDE, Dec. 13.-Owing to the scar
city of freight cars, the orange shipments
are not as large as they might be.
The fruit cars owned by the Southe rn
Pacific and Santa Fe roads are scattered
over the country at distant points, and as
the demand for cars at this season in the
past has been comparatively small, the
railroad companies have not prepared for
the present demand.
To relieve the pressure the Riverside
fruit exchange arranged with the Southern
Pacific road to use their double shutter
ears, a number of which were lined with
paper, and it was expected that Is cars
would be brought in last evening from
Cotton. but the Santa Fe company refused
to accept the cars and haul them over their
line. giving as reason that the cars were
equipped with the Miller coupling and that
they were under general order to accept
no cars with that style of coupling, on ac-
count of their being more dangerous for
the employees to handle.
This action will interfere materially with
the rapid handling of the fruit on hand,
but the exchange has decided to have the
cars brought in over the motor road to
point as near the packing houses as possi-
bic and will haul their fruit to that point
aud load it. thus avoiding the loss that

INCREASE OF SCHOLARS.
The increase in the number of pupils in
the Riverside schools has been surprising
in the last year and the board of educa-
ton has been compelled to rent two rooms
in the Orange block to accommodate the
pupils. Every grade in the schools is
overloaded, and besides the rooms in the
Orange block, an addition will be made to
the Thirteenth street school and it is
hoped that these extra accommodations
will be adequate for the present.
NOTES.
The Navel Orange association closed
their packing house at Pachappa last even
ing, after making a run of several days
and packing seven carloads of fruit. Four
carloads were sent out by them last night
and one car tho day before. Two car
loads still remain in the house packed and
awaiting shipment. They would have
been sent forward yesterday but for lack
of cars.
The gullible are certainly getting their
till now. DIR. Schlesinger, the Los Ange-
les test medium, and Prof. Leslie Mulch
are here.

The Police Court yesterday morning was
crowded with real-estate agents, all OF
whom had been summoned to appear ana
show cause why they should not be fned
for allowing snow to remain on the SIDE
walk in front of vacant houses for which
they were agents. They were all as
charged with admOnitions. About lVv citl-
Zens have been reported to the Chiel Oh
Police for the same offence, but
they will hardly be required 10
go to court. As a matter of fact, the
law providing a penalty for not cleaning
snow from the sidewalk Is uncons,itu'
tional. having been so declared by the SUI
preme Court. and the city officers do not
desire TO make another test case
The Justice yesterday imposed the first
fine in a misdemeanor case. which the de-
cision Of the Supreme Court wondered on
Thursday permitted him TO do. Lewis
Lambert was charged with carrying con-
cealed weapons and was fined $50 and
costs. The costs only amounted 10 ~
cents. but had the case been certified 10
the Hastings Court. as was previously re-
aulred, they would have been equally as
much as the fine. An additional fine or
so was imposed upon Lambert for firing
his pistol in the bar-room of Jack Riley.

to the clumsincss OF the jury system ana
deelaim loudly az to It's effects upon tn.
community and the expensiveness Of IL.
But when he gets into tho clutches OF
the law. he desires the verdict Of n Jury
OF his peers or equals. and scouts the
Idea OF being tried by Judge rattle,
than by dozen good men aud true. What
virtue there IL In twelve jurymcn which

or thirteen, We know not. The man ac-
cused OF crime Is not responsible for the
number. and could not 10 save his life
give any good reason for fearing the
verdict OF a jury OF more or less than
twelve men.
II may be charged that lawyers have
selfish reasons for adhctng to the jury
system, seeing that they can more easily
impress their views upon jurymen than
upon judges. But we do not think any
lawyer is conscious of being Influenced
by such motive. He prefers judge to
decide the law-points. because he feels
and knows that jurics are not qualified
TO decide them. AZ the same time he
prefers a Jury TO pass upon the ques-
ton OF guilt or innocence because he
feels and knows that juries of twelve
men are better qualified than one OF
two lawyers would be TO extend over to
prisoners at the bar the shield of justice.
Yes. the loudest declaimer against ign"
rant iurics will always prefer TO submit
his own case when he has one involving
any sort OF punishment for alleged crime.
TO jury of his peers.
We have said nothing as TO juries In
civil cases. We suppose. however. that
there is much less prejudice against trials
in such cases by the court or the judges.
No lawyer can easily mislead another
lawyer In either n civil or criminal
case. No lawyer hut would be apt to
render a decision according TO the law
and the evidence" In fact. whatever
may be said as to the desirability or re-
tanning the jury system in criminal cases.
nobody can deny that there is much L"
be said in favor Of trials by the Judge
or court in civil cases. Because Juries
would sometimes render wrong verdic's
in cases where lawyer might excite
their sympathies is by no means concur
sive evidence that they are not fit to
render verCiicts in civil cases.

The Ronk Contract.

The reply of the American Book Com
pany TO the charges of the Norfolk Pilot,
which we print this morning. is interest
ing reading-matter for patrons of the pub
lie schools Of Virginia and for our tax
payers generally.
IL sets forth what We had previously
learned from other sources. that no State
gets the books that we get cheaper than
we do-except in one or two Instances.
and this is because Virginia has
not chosen to adopt the measures
that those States have adoptei L.
which enable them TO secure the
lower rate. In other words. wherever we
lind that any book OF the American
Book Company Is sold lower than ii is
sold in Virginia. We are at perfect IL
berty so far as that company Is con-
cerned to put ourselves In the shoes of
that customer. Our State officials, 1t
seems to us, have been very watchful Of
our interests. and have made a good con-
tract. which the book company has lived
up to.
our State Board of Education would
have been denounced from end 10 end
OF Virginia II. after the canvass of the
question in each city and county, 1t had
compelled publicschool patrons TO throw
away their old books and buy new ones.
And this at a day when times are so hard
and money so scarce in the country.
The fact that the American Book Com
pany pays out for use Of copyrights $40.
900 per aDnum Is proof that they employ
high priced authors. and Of these a goodly
number are Virginians
II appears to us that Virginia has
good contract with the American Book
Company. But II Virginia thinks that
any other State in this Union has bet
ter contract with the company than II
has. Virginia is at perfect liberty to sub
stitute that contract for its present con-
tract.
