RIGHT OF WAY.
Why the Prevailing Desire to Beat
the Street Cars?

1t would seem that drivers of horses.
riders of bicycles and pedestrians of this
day ought to profit by the experiences
of those who have gone before them and
lost their lives in trying to get ahead
of street cars and steam locomotives.
But quite frequently it happens that
someone comes to grief while displaying
an unnecessary eagerness to cross a
street fraction of a second in advance
OF car. Within week two carriages
have been crushed in consequence of
persons taking desperate chances of
this kind, but fortunately nobody was
injured, though in both instances the
escape of the occupants of the vehicles
was almost miraculous.
Yesterday morning a young man
named G. NJ. Purnell undertook to get
the best Of an electric car at Seventh and
j streets, while riding a bicycle, but he
got bad fall at critical moment. and
mad 1t not been for the promptness with
which bystanders went to his relief he
might have been run over by the car
AS 1t was, he was badly bruised, but es-
capped having any bones broken.
1t takes a street car such a short time
TO pass one of the cross-streets not ex-
ceeding couple of seconds, that not
even matter of life-or-death warrants
anyone in attempting to dash across the
track ahead of it, no matter how ex-
perlenced and careful may be the motor
man. For horses will balk or hesitate
at the wrong instant, brakes may
become disabled, ones bicycle may get
cranky, or the pedestrian may slip on
the pavement
Anyone of these things are liable to
occur just at the critical moment, and
why people persist in risking their lives
rather than lose a second Of time is one
of those mysteries that have never been
explained. They do it, however. and
probably will keep on doing it despite
frequent calamitous results.

sAUZE CONVICTED.
But Justice Henry Suspends Sentence
on Him.


F. W. Sauze appeared in the Police
Court yesterday, charged with violating
the plumbing ordinance by doing
plumbing without a license.
His attorney, E. c. Hart, argued that
the law of 1885, under which the present
Board of Plumbing Examiners acts, was
repealed by the Act of 1887, and that
the Board of Trustees had no right to
appoint such board
CITY Attorney Brown agreed that the
law of 1887 had repealed the law of
1888, but it had been clearly shown by
the testimony that the defendants in
tent was not to comply with it, as the
Plumbing Inspector had notified him
half dozen times to get license, but
he had not done so.
Mr.. Sauze testified that he started to
take an examination, but his eyes gave
out and he had never, through force of
circumstances, resumed it.
Justice Henry said that the case was
an important one, and he should find
the defendant at least technically
guilty. The case had brought the law to
the attention of the plumbers and ii was
to be hoped they would all take steps to
comply with the law.
Attorney Hart asked that sentence be
suspended, and the City Attorney said
that as the end sought had been accom-
! plished, he would not object and the
court said he would suspend sentence.

vidual case, if there is any question OF
of the doubt
Regarding the direct motive which
prompted the company to take this ac-
ton, Mr.. Fillmore said:
"As 1 said before, the frequent re-
quests from our Superintendent in in
dividual cases, and because we are
aware that many good men left the
service of the company at the time OF
the strike not Of their own volition, put
were induced to do so in some way, and
that they are now regretting their ac-
ton exceedingly.
Many of them are men of family, and
1t is the wives and children who had had
to suffer in many instances through the
heads of families having followed the
dictates of the strike leaders, and in do
ing so gave the question little or no
thought, and by reinstating these men
in good standing it enables them to get
employment again with the company
when their services are required and
thereby relieve the distress of many
families, and we trust that in so doing
we will be holding out an inducement to
ShNii " NC iOy al " Lie ehNJ
serve hereafter"
The restoration of the strikers to good
standing means much to interior and
bay cities such as Sacramento and Oak
land, where hundreds of men have been
either idele or earning very meager sal
aries since they were discharged.
In the various shops there are still
many places vacant which will be filled
by those who were formerly on the COM
pany's pay-rolls, and by this additional
labor business generally will be stimu-
lated and will no doubt improve
The action of the road will also likely
be followed by other lines which dis
charged their striking employees.
