A pledge Arainst Free Passes

To the Editor of the Los Angeles Herald:
think 1t would be well to put into the
platform of the citizens movement, to
which every candidate must subscribe. a
resolution to the effect that II elected they
will not accept pass from any railroad,
or free rides. How can trustee be true
to the people when he has accepted bribe
from corporation? And what is pass
from a corporation to a city official but
bribe pure and simple; all but the price?
When a man accepts the candidacy for
trustee what harm can there be in his tell
Ing US whether he is a dog, cat or long
tailed rat? We think he should declare
himself with great plainness of speech.
To delude the people is a great sin. Let
us have straightforwardnes on the part
Of every candidate. Let each and every
one declare whether he is for the citizens
or the corporations. Let there be no dodg-
ing the Issue. g.

on the 30th, after a sensational run Of
days Az hours from San Francisco, the

made the run in days and seven hours.
AS nearly as can be learned, but one

rather than for carrying capacity. She
is reported to have made the run in
days and II hours. The Hyde's small

ONE STORY OF WRECK.
Member Of Life Saving Crew Tells Of
Efforts to Save Passengers.

Falmouth, Eng, Oct. ia dispatch
from st. Kerverine, a small town a lit
tie east of the Manacles, says Is bodies
from the Mohegan have been washed
ashore there. They have been deposited
in the parish church
A member of Port Houston life saving
crew named James gave an interesting
account of the wreck. He said that as
soon as the disaster was announced his
crew was summoned to the boat and
proceeded to the Manacles.
They could see no lights, the night
was pitch dark and no wrecks were dis
cernible, but ne heard shouting and
pulled towards the spot from which the
shouting came. No steamer was visible
but the lifeboat came across an over
turned boat, to which four or five men
were clinging with great difficulty
They were taken on board the lifeboat
The crew of the latter heard shouting
and the men of the lifeboat's crew got
out their grapneis and managed to
overturn the craft. Inside of her they
found woman and two or three men
alive The woman was frightfully jam
med in the wreclage and the lifeboat
men had to cut away the thwarts of the
small boat before they could extract
her
Continuing, James said The lifeboat
passed eeveral bodies of men and wo-
men, and picked up couple of men
who were floating on wreckaga.
The lifeboat next met a ships boat
having on board 20 passengers and
crew, all Of swhom would have been
speedily lost, if not received at chat
time, as the boat was waterlogged and
rapidly drifting on the rocks. The &C
cupants of this boat were taken into
the lifeboat. While the latter was beat
ing honeward she picked up Miss NO
BILE of Baltimore.
"She is the pluckiest lady J ever saw
in my life, said James; "she shouted
Don't shove me an oar; give me a
rope.
The sea then swept her towards us.
and we caught her hands and got her
safely on board in as good a state as
could be expected, We then had AZ
persons on board the life boat, includ-
ing the crew, and could hear shouting
from the steamer. We approached her
and saw Steward Gray clinging to the
jigger mast
We then saw that all four mssts were
still standing and that survivors We're
clinging to each. We backed in right
over the wreck and succeeded in res
cuing the boatswain, cook and others
Next we rescued an engineer, who was
clinging to the steamers funnel All
this occupied several hours. We then
made for the shore.
One passenger cut away the falls Of a
life boat with a razor and thus saved
several lives.
Miss Rondebush and her mother Mrs.
Grandin, entered a ships boat which
was capsized and Mrs. Grandin was
jammed between this boat and life
boat on one of the latters trips. One
of the lifeboats crew at great per-
sonal peril jumped on board the steam
ers boat after the latter had righted,
and pulled Mrs. Grandin from her dam
gerous position. She was landed in a
