parliamentary secretary of the board OF
education, introduced the London educa-
tional bill today in the house of COM
MONS and it passed it's first reading. y
division in the question that leave be
given to introduce the measure resulted
in a vote of 1853 to Il in favor of the mo-
ton. The proposed bill met with a very
mixed reception. the Liberal leader, Sir
Henry Campbell Zimmerman, character
izing it as contrary TO common sense
and public interest and an offense to
those believing in popular government.
1t altogether abolishes the present Lon
don school board and makes the LondS D.

both elementary and secondary educa-
ton. The county council win be assisted
by an educational committee numbering
ninety-seven. made UP Of members Of the
county council and borough councils ex
perts, men and women.
The secretary explained that the pres
ent school board was 10 be abolished be-
cause the government considered ii i'm
possible to secure proper representation
of the variety Of interests involved in
a directly elected authority. Only is per
cent Of the electors participated in the
last school board election. II was pro-
posed. therefore. that twenty-five men,

taken from popularity elected bodies. The
bill is to come in operation May l. 1904.

ways in West for Rates.

Los Angeles, Calf, April Limited
States Commissioner Prouty, who yes
terday arrived from Washington, pre-
sided over the session of the interstate
commerce commission. opened here to-
day. Commissioner Prouty is the only
member of the commission present 10
lear the case of the Southern a~-->>nia
Fruit Exchange and the Consolidated
Forwarding company against the Santa
Fe and Southern Pacific railroad COM
panies.
The hearing of the case first took place
in this city about two years ago and has
since been a disputed question between
the fruit growers and shippers and the
railroad companies, the former alleging
that excessive rates have been charged
and that loss has been occasioned by
arbitrary routing of fruit to eastern mar
kets.
When the session was called to order
today the following representatives of
the interested parties were present: w.
F. Herrin, chief clerk Of the Southern
Pacific law department; Paul Burks of
the Santa Fe law department; F. D. Mad
ison, representing the Armour company;
]. ]. Graves, representing the Southern
California Fruit Exchange, and John II.
Call for the interstate commerce COM
mission.
W. G. Spence. the first witness, testi-
fed as to the conditions existing in the
lemon trade and asserted that an "emer-
gency rate" was necessary to establish
California lemons In eastern markets. He
stated that fruit arrived at it's destina-
ton in bad shape, "spotting" having at
fected the fruit despite the efforts of
the packers to prevent deterioration in
transit.
L. j. c. Spraunce. representing the Spra-
unce Fruit company, one of the large
shippers Of the state, stated that the
time between the coast and ATLANTIC
points was from sixteen TO S>Jlty days
and that the fruit arrived with a certain
of loss by decay. The witness
expressed the opinion that q 10 per cent
reduction in freight rates should be made
and gave figures to show the
cost OF packing and shipping the citrus
fruit product.

FAIR DIED FIRST.
Witness Found Who Says He Saw the
Accident.

New York, April 7.-Evidence was
given oday by witness who says he
saw the automobile accident near Paris
last August which resulted in the death
of AIR. and Mrs. Charles Fair before a
referee in a suit instituted by Mrs.
Fairs mother. Mrs. Anna Nelson and
other relatives to recover from Mrs.
Theresa Alice Oelrichs and Mrs Vir-
ginia Vanderbilt, sisters of Mr.. Fair, a
large portion OF the Fair estate.
1t is contended that Mrs. Fair lived
after her husband.
The suit Is expected to determine also
whether an agreement to settle the estate
by the payment of $4,000 shall be can
celled.
Lucien Mass of Paris testified that he
witnessed the accident and that when he
reached the scene Mr.. Fair was 'abso-
lutely lifeless" but Mrs. Fair was breath
ing. He noticed q nervous contraction
OF her face and hands.
Describing Mrs. Fairs condition when
he first saw her after the accident, Mass
in cross examination said that her glasses
were broken and imbedded in her face.
that her face was bleeding and one eye
was hurt. Asked why he had left the
scene OF the accident before any one else
arrived, he replied:
Because ! did not wish to compromise
myself l wished to give succor. but
found 1 could not. My course could have
been traced"
When questioned as to some of his
subsequent movements, Mass refused 10
answer on the ground that it would tend
. degrade him.
AS the automobile was passing he heard
cries from a chateau and as he left the
scene saw persons coming from ii.
Asked why he had been willing to come
TO America to testify, he replied:
Il thought the stories told were in a
lying way and l wished to clear the two
families. l thought they had terrorized
a lady and made her accept portion
Of fortune, and the voyage here was
rather pleasant"
The hearing was adjourned until to-
morrow morning. Among those present
at the hearing were William b. Smith OF
New Durham, N j., a brother of Mrs.
Charles L. Fair; Brigham Nelson, a
half-brother. and John Bunnell.

quest to bring out the story of PennelI S
alleged defalcations
1T could hardly be claimed that they
have any material bearing on the case
said Mr.. Coatsworth. 1T is possible the
story of Pennell's dishonesty will never
be made known in an official way. There
is apt to be a bitter fight at the PEN
nell inquest over the authority of the
court to compel the administrator and
his attorney to testify and produce the
dead mans papers. 1t is asserted on one
side that the inquest is for the exclusive
purpose of establishing the cause of death
and prove a crime if there was one 1t
is said that the court will have no right
TO inquire into the financial affairs Of
Pennell or take testimony bearing on
the Burdick murder.
Il shall insist that every bit of infor-
nation be brought out" said Mr.. Coats
worth. 1.-The court can compel Mr.. PEN
nell and Mr.. Penny to testify and pro-
Suce s~ers. l am going to find out about
this Burdick murder 1 do not care
rap whether Pencil committed suicide
or not"
The long statement written by Arthur
r. Pencil on the day before his death
will be produced at the inquest next Fri
day The authorities can lay their hands
upon il at any moment they desire. In
this statement Pennell declared that he
had no part in the murder OF Edwin l..
Burdick: that an unknown woman was in
Burdicks den on the night Of February
&c and that Burdick was murdered ny
that woman.
The Equitable Life Insurance company,
which issued policies on the life of Pennell
within a year TO the amount of $4,000, an
nounced today that the insurance would
not be paid until after the Pencil inquest
and that it might not be paid then.
Pencil altogether had taken out insu.-
ance to the amount of 100000 in the
Equitable. The company paid $4,000 Of
that amount TO the estate. The $500
which il now refuses TO pay was taken
out within n year, and therefore comes
under the one year suicide clause. It is
very likely that Mrs. Burdick viii be fore
