PLUCKY SCHO0LTEACHER
DEFIED THE RAILROAD
Maintained Her Rights as a Passenger, De-
clined to Be Ordered About and Would
Not Yield Her Seat.

The men who are now managing the
passenger traffic of the Southern racine
Company are either Indifferent about the
comfort and convenience of the public
or else they are incompetent to discharge
the duties of the positions they hold.
The presence of so large number OF
visitors from the interior in San Fran
cisco during the week of festivities in
honor of the returned California volun-
teers seemed to completely demorailze the
train service. On some OF the divisions
in the vicinity of San Francisco trains
late, and passengers were crowded into
cars without my consideration FOR their
rights and comfort. 1t is reliably stated
LAT the company had an unpieasaan1 ana ear
who knew her rights and was determlneQ
to maintain them, and as result OF nan
an hours parley the corporatlon uncon-
ditionally surrendered 10 lHe pluChS
SUNDAY afternoon, August 27, the Sac
ramento train was nearly an hour late
il, leaving the Oakland mole 1t conslsle9
of three first-class passenger coacnes i anu
ten second-class coaches, all OF Whlcn
were well filed. Just before the tram
arrived at Port Costa tai the dipaefed Passeds fo va
cate and find seats or standing room IN
the remaining seven cars. But lew ol
those ordered 20 move could nno seats, SEATS
The alsles were crowded and some were
compelled to stand upon the platforms.
The Colusa County school teacher refused
to leave the cars to be cut out or the
train unless the conductor provided her
with seat. The conductor, who was
acting under orders, was very considerate
and polite but a brakeman was threaten
ing and blasphemous until the teacher
threatened to report him. after which he
subsidized The conductor reasoned, impor-
tuned and expostulated, .ut all to no
purpose, as the young lady refused to
bulge except on the condition above
named.
The pretense was made that the car
needed repairs, but as two other cars
were also cut out of the train she was
quick to perceive that this was a mere
pretext to gain a point. The car was
finally sidetracked and the door locked,
but the conductor was warned by the
teacher that if she was left she would
sue the company for damages. The con-
ductor went away but came back again
and after another short but Intellectual
parley a switch engine pushed the car on
the ferry boat and it was again coupled
to the train.
The surrender was complete and un-
conditional The young lady knew her
rights and was plucky enough to insist
that, having purchased a ticket and OBJ
tained a seat at the Oakland mole, she
was entitled TO hold it to her destination.
After the uusual episode was over the
passengers who were witnesses crowded
about the young woman and warmly con-
graduated her upon having achieved so
notable a triumph.

THREATENS TO LEAVE
SCHOOLS IN DARKNESS
COMPANY SHUTS OFF GAS
UNTIL BILLS ARE PAID.
Compromise Is Finally Effected by
Auditor Wells Offering to Settle
for July and August.

The gas was turned off in every school
building in the city yesterday morning by
employees of the San Francisco Gas and
Electric Company, acting under orders
from President Crockett. The latter
claimed he had been instructed to adopt
this course by the directors of the gas
company because their bills against the
School Department for the months of
July and August amounting to $500, had
not been paid and because the estimated
appropriations for the present fiscal year
were not ample to pay their bills against
the city at the ordinary rate of con-
sumption.
Mayor Phelan attempted to induce
President Crockett to rescind his order
and to defer further action in the matter
until after the 18th of this month, when
the tax levy for the year is to be fixed,
but the latter was obdurate.
Finally a conference was arranged be-
tween representatives of the gas COM
pany and the city, which was held in the
office of the Mayor during the afternoon.
President Crockett and Attorney Bishop
Mayor and Auditor Wells the city. At
this conference it developed that the
pressing grievance of the gas company
was that while it's bills against the School
Department for July and August had been
passed by the board, they had not been
sent to the Auditor and therefore the
company, could not get its money. Aud
itor Wells suggested an easy way out of
the dilemma by Offering to pay the bills
If they were sent to him. Mr.. Crockett
said If that We're done the gas in the
school buildings would again be turned
on. The Mayor then sent for the biHs
and handed them to the Auditor. Last
night the schools were lighted as usual.
But while the gas company succeeded
in collecting its account against the
School Department for the two months
referred to, there is still sum in the
neignborhood of $1,000 contracted previous
to June 30 which it has not collected and
cannot collect because there is no money
and Will be none with which to pay 1t.

Right Cathedral They were welcomed
by about $50 Sir knights, who had as
sembled to do honor to the visitors from
California. There was delivered a short
address, and then followed a luncheon, at
which all the Sir Knights drank from a
Grand Gran Commanderv W of - CaIifoyrnia u The rle
festivities were continued until late
hour. During their stay in Louisville
