Death of a Joint Traffic Bureau.


The Western Joint Traffic Bureau, as far
as its power to control rates or direct the
actions of the Western roads in rate-making
is concerned, has passed out of existence.
Chairman Midgeley. who has been at the
head of the Western Freight Association
and later at the head of the Joint Traffic
Bureau, will retire on the first of next
month and leave matters in the hands of
Commissioners Parker Shule, COPYRIGHT
and wellington. The roads have a contract
with these commissioners that has yet one
Year to run and during that time they will
be employed in looking after the freight
rate sheets, the compilation of statistics
and similar matters. They will have moth
ing to do with the making of rates or their
maintenance in any part of the Western ter
ritcry. Commissioner Parker will be at the
mead of the organization for one year and
then such action will be taken regarding its
continuance as shall at that time be deter
mined by circumstances. All this was settled
at a meeting in Chicago yesterday, of the
members of the Joint Traffic Bureau. There
Was a general opinion that the organiza-
ton had become too expensive for the serv-
ices 1t was able to render to the railroads
and it was a foregone conclusion that it's
powers would be limited very largely. There
was not work for all the commissioners
had expired and those of the other COM
missioners had still a year to run it was de-
cided that they should have the control of
the organization during the life of their
contracts at least. The bureau will be able
to do very little beyond the handling of
routine matters from now on. The organi-
cation has been failure as a means or
maintaining and controlling rates ever since
the PRONUNCIATION of the Supreme Court de-
cision declaring Illegal all organizations
having for their object the control of rates.

At no time since the movement to put
stop to the scalping of railroad tickets has
been agitated have the scalpers been fight
ing more vigorously than at present, and
they can hardly be blamed, as with the pas
sage of the anti-scalping bin by Congress,
their occupation would be gone. They are
now working with the labor unions, and as
far as possible inducing them to send petit
ttons to Congress protesting against the
passage of the bill now before it. 1.-THE
scalpers. in making the fight" said a pas
senger official, ARE endeavoring to create
the impression that with the labor unions it
is fight between capitalists and labor, and
in this manner are damaging their cause.
If that were the case the roads would at
once stop offering low rates running ex-
cursions to give the man of moderate means
opportunity to travel, and in this way could
injure the laboring man more than with the
passage of any anti-scalping bill. Let one
visit a scalping Office and note who are the
purchasers of scalping tickets; he will find
that they generally some travelling
salesman or some peddler of notions, but

The "owl' train to San Francisco on the
Southern Pacific will 60 into service proba-

equipment will be of the best, consisting of
new vestibuled Pullman cars, provided with

at p. m and will arrive in the northern
city at the next morning. South bound,
the train will leave at p. m. and will arrive
here at the following day.
The Southern Pacifc's freight business is
so heavy that, notwithstanding seven new

DIED FROM HER INJURIES
Mrs. Terry Inhaled Flames With
Fatal Result

Mrs E. A. Terry died early yesterday
morning from the effects of burns and in
halation of fire at the house of J. A. Camp
bell, her son-in-law, who resides at No. 1926
Santee street. Mrs. Terry was in the habit
of warming her feet when she arose every
morning. She had small stove for this
purpose, but the warmer was out of order
Friday morning, so she substituted an or
dinary coal oil lamp. In some manner the
oil exploded and set fire to her night robe.
Her son-in-law went to her rescue, but he
was unable to extinguish the flames, and
handed Mrs. Terry to his son and went for
a blanket with which to smother the flames
1t was too late, though, for the unfortunate
woman had been badly burned about the
body and face, and in addition, had inhaled
the flames.
The burning oil set fire to the room, and
Hazel Durkee, l4-year-old grandchid OF
Mrs. Terry, was nearly burnt by the flames
The house was with difficulty saved from
destruction. Drs. Buell., Scholl and Mathis
were summoned to attend the suffering
woman. She was in terrible agony, and it
was necessary to keep her under the infu-
ence of opiates. Her sufferings were re-
ieved by death shortly before 4 clock yes
terday morning. Mrs. Terry was IS years
OF age. No inquest was held, as the ply
sicians in charge gave the necessary death
certificate. The funeral will be private,
and occur from the residence of Mr. Camp.

LABORERS' LIENS
Suits Against Bear Valley Company
Fail in the Supreme Court

By two decisions received yesterday the
supreme court reverses the Judgment
against the Bear Valley Irrigation company
and others, obtained by NJ. l.. Socum and
Others in one case and by P. b. Worden in
another. The receivers of the company ap-
pealed from judgment declaring and enforc-
ing certain asserted liens of plaintiffs upon
the property of the corporation and from
an order denying new trial. The liens
were based upon an act of the legislature
providing for the payment of the wages of
mechanics and laborers employed by a cor
poration.
1t was contended by appellants that the
act in question is unconstitutional for vari-
Gus reasons, and, among others, for the rea-
son that it is special legislation inhibited by
the constitution, because it attempts to pro.
vide for the creation, of liens in favor of a
special class of laborers and thus ATTEMPTS
mere arbitrary classification not founded
upon natural differences, or differences de.
fined by the constitution.
This contention is held to be correct if
the act provides lien only for those labor

week or month, and does not provide liens
TOR those who are not thus employed. But
the court has already declared such to be
