THE CONTEST IN FRISCO.
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Nov. I'm
usual interest as we'll as extraordinary
local Importance attaches to the NUM-
cipal election being held in San Fran
cisco today for the reason that it is the
first under the new charter which con-
tains many new departures in the way
of city government; that it's interpreta-
tion will depend largely upon the Of
fcers who shall place the instrument
in operation, and that the initial
mayor will have more appointments to
make than will his successors. For
all practical purposes there are only
two tickets in the field, that of the
democrats, headed by Mayor James
D. Phelan, and that of the republi-
cans, led by Horace Davis.
Mayor Pnelan, young millionaire
whose course has given general satis-
faction, is standing for his third term,
he having been twice elected to Office,
largely by the votes of epublican bust
ness men. Horace Davis, the republic
can candidate, is an old and respected
business man, engaged in the flour
trade, who has served in congress, and
for short time held the post of presid
emit of the state university.
The new mayor will have the sp-
pointment of commissioners of public
works, police commissioners, fire COM
missiooers. school directors, health
election commissioners,
park commissioners and three civil
service commissioners. It is predicted
that under this arrangement the in
fuence of the mayor In the city gov
eminent will be enormous, especially
in the case of the one chosen today, q
fact that has added to the intense in
terest taken in the contest between
Phelsn and Davis and their supporters.

TWO IMPORTANT DECISIONS.
The Law which Prohibits Paying Miners
in Scrip and the Eight Hour Law.

The Law which prohibits Paying Miners
in Scrip and the Eight Hour Law.
Topeka, Dec. 12.-The scrip law met
violent death at the hands of the SUI
preme court. 1t was declared repug-
nant to the fourteenth amendment to
the federal constitution and therefore
invalid.
This law, in substance, made it I'M
lawful for any corporation employing
over ten persons to pay those persons
in anything other than lawful money
of the United States. The object to be
sought was to deprive mining compa-
MES in Southeastern Kansas from pay
ing their employees in scrip or mer-
chandise.
The court also held the eight-hour
law valid. This decision was made in
a case brought up from Junction City,
where a contractor was arrested for
working his employees more than eight
hours day in the construction of a
court house. Labor Commissioner
johnson will now endeavor to enforce
this law ca all public w orlz

cision was recently arrived at through
the use of passenger locomotives,
equipped with water scoops, on fast
freight trains. 1t was found that much
time was saved, danger from stopping.
being reduced to a minimum and cost
of running lessened. The extra stops
for water take much time and the wear
and tear on equipment is no small
matter. If the experiment on this part
of the road proves successful. track
tanks will be installed on every diyi-
sion between Baltimore and Chicago.
