is THE BICYCLE BAGGAGE 3

Secretary Willcutt of the Market-street
Railway Company did not bring the cor
psratlon's books with him as requested
when he punctually appeared before the
Board of Railroad Commissioners yester-
day afternoon, but he brought the COM
pany's legal light, who very deliberately
told the Commissioners that he did not
think they had the Jurisdiction to regu-
late or reduce streetcar rates, and there
fore he would refuse on the part of the
secretary to produce any of the records of
what the car companies are making from
the scent fares.
Then Attorney Walker dutifully took
Secretary Willcutt by the hand, and the
couple trotted as demurely and silently
from the room as two little Sunday-school
boys mindful of mammals admonition to
deliver the message and come right back
home.
The Commissioners silently looked at
one another until DR.. Stanton broke the
threatening spell by declaring: 81 regard
this refusal as contempt, and we should
punish it. We must take some action
in this matter; either begin the investiga-
ton or punish Secretar WilIcutt.' But
Chairman La Rue poured oil upon the
GIOuDlcu WdlSTS Dy suggesting L0aG the
Attorney General be asked for an opinion
on the matter of Jurisdiction.
The proposition of reduction in rates
originated with request filed with the
board by the Ashbury Heights Improve
ment Club, ich asked for an investi-
CATION of the earnings of the Market-street
Railway Company and 21z or cent fare
if conditions should warrant.
During the meeting two other matters
were brought up for an opinion by the
Attorney General. 1t seems that ridicu-
lousy small percentage of the transporta-
ton companies other than the steam rail-
roads has complied with the Commits
sioners' request for reports. Then the
board would like to know if it has the
power to declare bicycles to be baggage.
The Attorney-General must settle these
questions.
The Commissioners instructed their Sec
rotary to request the Southern Pacific
Railroad Company to submit report of
all the changes in the schedule of rates

1t Has Accrued for Extra Work
and Must Now Be Paid
in Full.
Commissioner Lorenz Is Here to
Settle the Claims of Three
Hundred Persons.

Henry L. Lorenz of Washington, D. c.,
Commissioner of the United States Court
of Claims, is at the Ramona. He has
come here to settle the claims of nearly
300 letter-carriers for overtime work. This
work has been done in past years, dating,
in some instances, as far back as 1888
In that year Sunset Cox succeeded in
passing a bill through Congress, paving
all carriers for work done over the regula-
ton eight hours. Some of the carriers had
been put by the postmasters at clerical
work and others at sorting mail. Their
pay has ranged usually from $500 to $1,000
year. and by Mr.. Cox's bill they are TO
be allowed proportionate pay for the extra
work
Mr.. Lorenz has been adjusting such
claims for about three years, and has maid
out about 81, 900, 900. He has travelled in
California, Oregon, Washington, Colorado
Utah, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa and other
States. On this visit he is accompanied
by Clark McKercher, an attorney of WASH
ington, d. c.. who represents a legal firm
having the cases OF about ESQ of the claim
ants.
Of the 300 claimants in San Francisco
for overtime work 260 have already filed
their claims with Commissioner Lorenz.
The Commissioners home was formerly
In Toledo, Ohio, where for several wears
he was Judge. Inspector j. w. Erwin of
the Postofice Department is an old time
friend of Mr.. Lorenz.
Mr.. Lorenz will be here probably for
several days

"THE ANNOUNCEMENT TO THE SHEPHERDS

streets is to have beautiful pictorial
window in the southern transept, where
one OF the temporary plain windows is to
be replaced by the announcement to the
Shepherds" And this artistic contribu-
ton to the handsome Norman church is
only the first OF many of its kind. So
that in a very short time the whole
interior aspect of Trinity win have been
changed by the introduction of stained
glass windows, the gift of various mem
bers of the congregation.
The grand window for the transept is
now ready to be set IN place, and will be
erected Immediately. 1t is the gift of Mr.
s. Tams, an old member of Trinity
Church, who has intended it as a
memorial window in remembrance of his
wife, Mrs. Carolina l.. Tams, who died De-
cember 20, 1891. Mrs. Tams was one of the
best known ladies of San Francisco, and
the first American woman born in Cali
fornia. The many friends she left behind

are deeply interested in the memorial
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1896-09-08

Rev. Mr.. Walk, pastor of the church, is
Infatuated with it, and many of his flock,
who have seen the window, are proud of
it as work of art in Trinity Church.
The window-every inch of it's of
home manufacture, both in the artists
work and the mechanical department,
having been designed and made by Thomas
c. Butterworth of this City. In dimen-
sions it is five feet wide and twenty feet
six inches high. The glass is exclusively
of high-grade, antique quality and appa-
rently handled with great care. Its gem
eral ensemble is, to say the least, striking,
and this includes the grouping, details,
drawing and color scheme, all of which
are highly spoken of by connoisseurs.
The window represents a scene framed
in pure Gothic lines of a golden hue. In
the foreground are the shepherds in an
attitude that shows they have just been
disturbed from their quiet avocation. One
shades his eyes from the brilliancy of an
approaching angel, while another leans on
his staff and listens to the wonderful
words OF peace and good will. Their faces
are full of reverence, mixed with awe. All
about them are their focks grazing peace
fully.
The angel appears as beautiful woman,
soaring amid cherubs on the clouds and
pointing toward Bethlehem, which is seen
in shadows far off in the distance. And
there shines the star over the stable,
brighter and larger than those in the
spangled armament. In the architectural
framing, among the exquisite tapering
finals higher up, are two angelic figures
In Dostures of alteration.
The whole is pitched in subdued kew
of color, as the scene represents night, but
the herald angel is radiant with light and
loneliness, and this same light is reflected
upon the shepherds faces.

and gave the boys considerable trouble
before being captured. Some Of the

and be gone an incredible length Of

sticking mp out Of the water. Several
shots were fired and at last the brown
beauty was killed. He was Of extra
