Was Nearly Acquitted

Jack Traynor was tried by jury in Jus
tice Owens court yesterday ON the charge Of
battery. c. H. Abbott, proprietor of the
Commercial lodging house, corner of Los
Angeles and Commercial streets, sworo to
the complaint. The latter part of last
month Abbott discovered Traynor in the
room of a woman named Sadie Green, and
supposing him to be burglar, held him until
Officer Holleran arrived Traynor fought
so the latter claimed Traynor was first
charged with burglary, but this was dis
missed when the Green woman said she had
given Traynor permission TO visit her room
The jury was out nearly three hours, and
being unable to agree upon verdict, was
discharged by the court. They stood ten
for acquittal and two for conviction.

CAMPBELL'S SENTENCE
Ten Years. Imprisonment at San
Quentin

A. B. Campbell, who was convicted of
grand larceny in securing $500 from Fred
S>eagrave recently, came up for sentence be-
fore Judge Smith yesterday. The usual
motions for a new trial and for arrest of
judgment being overruled by the court, the
prisoner was sentenced to ten years impris-
opment at San Quentin. In passing sem
tence Judge Smith took occasion to say that
he regarded the crime proven as unusual and
deserving of severe punishment, inasmuch
as defendant had been shown all through
the trial to be endowed with special mental
power. AS a man well advanced in years,
Campbell knew that no excuse could be
made for so fragrant a violation of the law.
Campbell, on being asked if he knew of
any reason why sentence should not be pro-
nounced, replied that he had none, but mere
ly asked that the court in the exercise of dis
cretion should order his incarceration at
San Quentin. The court granted stay
of execution for three days, and as Camp
bells associate in crime, Spencer, comes up
for sentence today, the two men will prob
ably be transferred to prison at the same
time.

NEWS OF TIE RAIL WAYS
8 p. OFFICIAL DENIES RUMOR
ABOUT CONVENTION RATE
That Company Assisting in Many
Ways to Bring the Educational
Association Here-Notes

In yesterdays Herald appeared the sub
stance OF dispatch from Prof. Foshay id
Monterey, in which it was stated that on
account OF the Southern Pacific's having re-
fused to make lower rate the convention
OF the National Educational association
would probably not come to this city but
would 60 to Salt Lake.
The Southern Pacific people deny that
that company has made rate Of $72 from
national educational convention is held
here, or that they are Intentionally allowing
other lines to outbid them so, as to throw
the convention to Salt Lake. "Such sup
position is simply absurd" said Assistant
General Freight and Passenger Agent Luce
Of the Southern Pacific yesterday. why,
we have sent two men from San Francisco
and one from here to Washington at our
own expense to work in the interests of Los
Angeles and have helped defray the expense
of keeping headquarters open in that city
for some time past. We have been and will
continue to work for this city as the place
for the convention. 1t is absurd to say that
we would want the meeting to go to Salt
Lake, fer in that case all we would get out
of it would be the few people we would haul
from this coast.
"No, we are doing all that we can to
bring the convention here and we have
ceed.'
The rate of s75 mentioned in the telegram
from Prof. FoshAy from Monterey in yes
terrlay's Herald would be very high one,
and there is no doubt from what Mr. Luce
said that when his company is ready to
announce it's rate it will be much less
than that amount. Prof. Foshay seems to
have been misinformed on the subject, or
else Mr. Luce has not been posted as to the
rate proposed by his company.

A WAR LESSON.

One o. the frniis Of the late war
with Spain ought to be and uu-
doubleday will he general over
hauling OF the ways aud means of
the War Depa, tment. This is
particularly true of the Commits
sary Department which has shown
either superior incompetence or
criminal negligence. This weak
ness in one of the most vital
points of the army organization
has been apparent on some OF the
transport ships that have passed
through on the way to Manila,
but tue most deadly results have
been evident in the East. Tue
people of the East are hot on the
trail of General SKATER. If he is
not responsible for the short ra
tions dealt out to the soldiers aud
tue failure to land hospital stores,
the people are going to find out
who is.
Citizens of the wealthiest nation
on earth have seen their fellow
men drop from sheer exhaustion
when stores have been lay ing IL
the ships at anchor. They have
also seen their sick and wounded
suffer and die, when the necessary
hospital supplies were within easy
reach of the officers in charge.
The army officers are of course
primarily responsible but Secre-
tary Alger and President McKin
ley are the ones who must even
tually give answer to the people
From what can be learned, poll
tics have brought on much of this
trouble. Civilians have been given
shoulders straps when they are
hardly capable of telling the
difference between a tin horn and
a troopers trumpet, who are care
ful to deal out the requisite allow
auce of candles to a company at
the same time with less than half
the regular ration, Capable men
from the regular army have been
held down to lieutenancies, while
newly made soldiers, men of prac
tically no experience, have been
sandwiched into the higher and
more vital and responsible posi-
tions. The navy has not had the
experience of the army. The ap-
parent cause seems to be the gen
eral opinion that it takes an edu-
Gated man to do the fighting and
supply a ship, but anybody can
handle a regiment in battle and
keep the men supplied with the
necessaries of army existence.
Without rejecting upon the good
Intentions of the volunteer, the
great lesson of this war has been
to teach the value of the regular"
army officer, the man trained in
the service and who has some say
in picking the men who shall assist
him,
