Knocked Down and Dragged by
Street Car in New York.
A dispatch from New York last night
SAYS: While crossing 9Th avenue, at 23d
street. yesterday afternoon, Mrs. c. B..
Davidson widow Of Brigadier General John
w. Davidson. who acquitted himself with
distinction during the civil war, was run
down by an electric car and had a narrow
escape from being killed. Her right ankle
was broken, and surgeons fear that she
may be injured internally.
Accompanied by her daughter, Mrs. Ed
ward Webster, whose husband is a major
in the United States army, and is stationed
at Fort Mcpherson, Ca, Mrs. Davidson
came to this city yesterday from Washing
ton. At the 23d street ferry of the Penn
sylvania railroad Mrs. Webster left her
mother, who was to proceed to No. 1O2
West 44th street. where they intended to
live for a few weeks.
At 9Th avenue Mrs. Davidson became
confused. A few yards south of the cross
ing she saw an employe of the road stand
ing at a switch. Intending to ask him how
to proceed to 44th street, Mrs. Davidson
started to cross the street. AS she reached
the south track she was struck by a car,
the approach of which she had not noticed.
John Glennon. the motorman, did not see
her danger until 1t was impossible for him
to stop the car.
Mrs. Davidson was thrown violently to
the street, and for a moment the specta-
tors thought she would be killed. The mo
torman managed to stop the car after the
tender had passed over her. Policeman
Sullivan of the West 3Oth street police sta
tion dragged her from her position and
summoned an ambulance from the New
York Hospital. DR.. Hubsmith found that
her right ankle was broken, and he took
her to that institution.
When 1t became known that an accident
had happened fully thousand women
shoppers crowded the street in front Of the
store where Mrs. Davidson had been first
taken. Mrs. Davidson refused to cause the
arrest of the motorman.

Oatmeal Mush and Diabetes.

DR.. Pavy, Of England, has shown that diabetes
is due to imperfect digestion Of starch and Its
absorption in the blood. 1t is impossible for the
stomach to digest cereal foods taken In the form
of mush, in which the starch is less than half
cooked. This Is one of the reasons why diabetes
is becoming SD common in this country and British
Islands. French physicians long ago discovered
that toasted bread or dextrinized starch is ex-
eellent remedy in diabetes. The best dextrinized
food, however, is known TO be Toasted Wheat
Flakes. sweetened with Malt Honey made by the
Rattle Greek Sanitarium Food Co. These fakes

DESTRUCTION OF THE MAINE.
why Claims Should Not BE Considered
by COmmissiOn.

Counsel for the government have pre-
sented to the Spanish treaty claim COM
mission brief in support of the motion to
dismiss the claims growing out of the sink
ing of the battle ship Maine. 1t is con-
tended that it was the intention of the
treaty of peace not to provide for but to
relinquish and leave in oblivion, as settled
in the tribunal of war, the grievance re-
ferred to expressly in the joint resolution
of April 20, as the destruction of a United
States battle ship, with 266 of it's officers
and crew, while en- a friendly visit in the
harbor OF Havana
The brief says that the destruction of
Spanish lives and the loss of Spanish pos
sessions atoned for and settled any sup
posed responsibility of Spain for the de-
struction of that national ship with it's Of
hcerS and crew. On March 80, 1898, Con-
gress passed an act for the relief of the
Maine sufferers and this action, it is con-
tended, proved two things:
First, that the government of the United
states, after the report of a commission
had made it clear that evidence could not
be found to prove the authorship of the
destruction of the Maine, decided not to
adopt and present claims for money indem-
nity on behalf OF its citizens, based upon
such destruction; and, secondly, that it de-
clded to recognize, instead of claim of
that kind against Spain, a claim against
itself on account of the same destruction,
which latter claim it proceeded to settle in
full"
Continuing the brief says:
Spain had offered to submit to an impair
tlal investigation by some third power, and
nao herseif made an investigation, with the
same indefinite result, it seems as that
made by the United States To suppose
that this commission, after all that has
been furnished to it, suitable only for the
ordlnary purposes Of a claims commission,
was intended to open up and undo and do
over again this inquiry into the responsible
ity of the Spanish government, with the re-
suit OF disgracing Spain on the one hand
ana on the other discrediting the govern
ment of the United States, is entirely nm
reasonable"

OIL CASE GOES
To Commission
Attorneys on Both Sides
Finish Their Ar
guments.
Board Will Be Ready. to
Render Decision on
Monday Next

The attorneys for and against the restor-
alton of the original oil rates from Ba-
kersfield to San Francisco were heard
morning and afternoon by the
Railroad Commission. Frank N. Short
opened for the oil producers. He was
succeeded by j. l.. Norton, attorney for
the Santa he and J. r. Foulds OF the
Southern Pacific. w. H. Herrin closed
for the railroad. Short then replied to
the combined arguments Of the railroad
isohcitors. The commission adjourned
until Monday at IL o clock, when it will
hand down a decision. all the arguments
having been made.
w. A. Bissell, freight traffic agent of
the Santa Fe, was called to the stand
and testified to one cent per barrel rate
which the Southern Pacific charged the
Santa t'e on the spur from Bakersfield to
the oil regions. Short claimed that as the
usual rate was five and seven cents per
barrel TO other patrons this was a dis
elimination forbidden by law and should
be inquired into. FoClds' argument was
directed to this point. He contended that
the discrimination was not a favor, but
for actual service. and that all the re-
ports In every State showed that this is
permissible.
Frank Short argued for cheap fuel and
the necessity of low rate on oil to Sc
cure II for the people. He said the Kern
River people were the competent wit
nesses to testify about the production OF
oil and not the Los Angeles men. who had
been called upon to prove the railroads
case. He said that the Valley road
should be taken, not as single road. but
as part of a great system and IL the
returns showed a deficit for operation OF
this branch alone. that should not be con-
sidered. 1t Is part Of the Santa Fe
which pays big interest, the attorney
said. restoration of the original rate
would work against the interest Of the
State and retard development.
j. l.. Norton claimed In behalf OF the
Santa Fe that as long as a carrier could
not justify a high rate on a domestic
road to meet an interstate deficit the re-
verse would apply. Herrin reviewed the
testimony. alleging that II did not bolster
up the cause of the oil people. but really
weakened their original case. He said
that II the decision was adverse the privi-
lege of asking for an injunction might be
resorted to. In fact. he practically ad-
mitted that this would be the next step
taken IL the commission adhered to its
former ruling.
Attorney Short closed with short and
general review.

MAYOR PHELAN
SHAKEN DOWN
J. Fl. Parry Of the Union
Labor Party Gains
a Point.
Governor Gage Gives Com
missions to Geary's
COMMITTEES.

A meeting of the executive committee
OF the late Chinese Exclusion Convention
met at the Lick House last evening in
response TO a special call issued by the
chairman Thomas j. Geary., The execu-
tive committee now consists of forty-one
members. the number having been IN
creased since 1t was created. The pur-
pose Of the session last night was TO con-
slider ways and means to defray expenses
of maintaining headquarters in Washing
ton and to provide for the printing OF the
proceedings of the convention. An inter-
esting discussion grew out Of the proposi-
ton to print the debates. 1t was sus-
pectcd by several members that Mayor
Phelan was nursing a scheme to edit
the reports by excluding the speeches OF
representatives OF the Labor party The
Mayor produced a hot air letter from
Washington. asking that a printed report
of convention proceedings be transmitted
at once to the national capital. ]. h.
Parry contended that the secretary's re-
port of the proceedings should be placed
In the possession of the executive COM
mittee, which was created to execute the
will of the convention.
Parry Entertains a Fancy.
He fancied that instead of appointing g.
committee to prepare the report for the
printer a committee should be appointed
to get possession of the report. II was
maintained that the proper custodian was
John Mclaughlin. secretary of the execu-
tive committee, although the official rec
ords Of the session seemed to be in the
hands Of n. A. Mason and Mayor Pnelan
The pressure for the possession of the
papers became so strong that the Mayor
yielded and the official account of the
conventions work will be supervised by
the executive committee and John Nc
Laughlin.
1t is said that Mr. Parry. chairman Of
the executive committee of the Union
Labor party. suspecting that Phelan was
scheming to do Democratic politics, made
several requests during the past week
that the report of the proceedings be
transferred to the secretary Of the con-
vention's executive committee, but was
foiled by N. A. Mason and the Mayor.
Programme Is Clear.
The new programme Is that the press
committee shall edit the report and that
Union Labor party speakers. as well as
Democratic wind-jammers. shall be rep
resented in the printed record.
Governor Gage has ordered that the
great seal OF the State shall be affixed
to the commissions Of the committeeman
appointed by Thomas J. Geary to visit
Washington. The Governor appends his
official signature to the commissions
Thus armed with letters from Governor
Gage. Phelar, Budd. Livernash. Beale
and Furuseth will proceed to Washing
ton. As California gave Republican ma
jority Of 4ooco at the last Presidential
election, and as both houses Of Congress
are Republican. people may wonder why
a Republican Governor did not issue COM
missions to Republicans.
1t is figured that $500 or $4,000 viii be a
sum sufficient to maintain headquarters
In Washington and an Office in San Fran
cisco.
