REAL POLITICS IN OAKLAND.
Republican and Citizen Tickets Are
in the Field.

Quite an interesting city campaign is
on out in Oakland. Oakland elected F.
A. Brigham as its first mayor two years
ago on a Citizens ticket. and the gen
eral understanding was that there
should be no party politics in Oakland
This year, however, the Republicans
organized, and persuaded Mr.. Brigham
to accept nomination on the Republican
ticket Then a citizens ticket was also
nominated with Don Caughman, city
salesman for the Symns Grocery COM
pany, as the candidate for mayor. The
Citizens ticket also presents J. D. Hall
for police judge, Harley Taylor for city
treasurer, Herman Knitter for city
clerk. and l. NJ. Orner, John Shuart, L.
c. Lingo, R. P. Taylor, and G. c. Van
deventor for members of the city coun-
Gil.
The Republican candidates for the
city council are c. M. Stockham, Geo.
H. Ensign, N E. Copeland. o. w. Neil,
and T. J. Nichols.
When the Citizens caucus first met
for business, r. S. VanSant was placed
on the ticket for mayor. When he
heard that the Republicans would nom
mate a ticket of their own, he refused
the nomination, and was made chair
man of the city committee for the Re-
publcans.

'TREETS BRIM FULL.
so Much Water That Cars Are
Stopped.
Wind Blows at Thirty-flve Mile
Rate and Hail Falls.

Over two and a half inches of rair
&ell between . o'clock last night and
this morning. However by far the
heaviest precipitation came between
che hours OF and IL o'clock.
The elements INDUCED in prolonged
preliminaries of electrical threats and
heavy thunderings before the rain
finally commenced to fall. The cleo
frical display was especially vivid and
threatening A high wind accom-
panied the rain during the first part OF
the evening, blowing at as high a rate
of velocity as IS miles per hour. To-
wards IL o'clock the wind died away
and the rain came down steadily in
great sheets. The real downpour set
in at shortly after 9 o'clock. though
previous to that there We're dtfuI
dashes of rain The downpour con
tinued steadily without interruption
until nearly u, when a slight iuH was
experienced. At L o'clock the storm
set in again with renewed vigor. There
was some hail but not enough to prove
destructive.
The sidewalks and cutters were run
ming brim full and over on account of
the inability of the manhoies and
catch basins to carry off the surplus
lower districts of the city, on the east
side, near the Shunganunga, and on
Polk street and Western avenue.
The Kansas river has not risen no.
uceably and the rain has apparently
had but little effect upon it. The
shunganungas however, is raging
torrent and is running even with its
banks 1t has not reached over upon
the surrounding property, but was
slowly undermining the Eighth street
bridge away this noon. The street
commissioner rushed a gang of men to
the scene in an attempt to save the
structure. The usual number of re-
ports of sunken excavations were re-
ceived at the city engineers and Street
Commissioners Snyder'S offices this
morning, but none of them involved
anything but a minor loss.
The street railway company was
seriously handicapped by the storm
and at 1890 traffic on the LOWman
15il and West Sixth avenue lines had
ceased The water was running in a
mai stream on Sixth avenue at Van
E6ren street and at Western avenue
and the management of the street rail-
way found it impossible to send its
cars through.
People who live out that way and
were unfortunate enough to be caught
down town were forced to resort to
cabs to get home. On the Lowman
Hill line the traffic had to be aban-
doned on account of the condition of
the track on Lane street
On the West Fourth street line so
much sand from the newly laid pave
ment was washed across the tracks at
the junction of Fourth and Polk
streets that the street car coming
down the hill was dislodged from the
tracks and Isolated upon a hummock
surrounded by water.
The local telephone lines worked sat
isfactorily but their connections outside
were in bad shape. The toll line on
both the Bell and the IndeDendent SyS-
TENS was limited in its area and not

Interstate Commission Hearing
Complaints at Cincinnati.

Washington, March 28.-PractieaIly
all the preparations have been COM
pleted for the prosecution of the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa F'e railroad
by the federal government, for grant
ing illegal rebates to the Colorado
Fuel and Iron company, and within a
fortnight the government will present
to the United States grand jury at
Albuquerque, N. NJ, all the evidence
collected by the interstate commerce
commission relating to this case. If
the grand jury returns an indictment
the government will begin the prose-
cution of the case.
The law under which the prosecu-
tons will be brought provides for the
punishment not only of the corpora
tons which grant the rebates, but
also of those which receive them.
Special attorneys employed by the
government to investigate the case
and see if there were grounds for
prosecution found a strong case
against the Santa Fe and the Colo
RADIO company, but also learned that
further facts were needed to strength
en- the prosecution. In order to Sc
cure these, J. T. Marchand, who col
lected much Of the evidence against
the railroad and coal company for the
interstate commerce commission, has
been in the service of the special at
torneys who We're gathering additional
facts.
This work has been completed and
the government now is ready to take
the initial steps looking to the prosecu-
ton. 1t has been decided that the COM
panies and not the officers shall be
prosecuted. The penalty for granting
or receiving illegal rebates lis a fine of
not less than $1,000 and not more than
$4,000 for each Offense-
Chairman Knapp of the interstate
commerce commission, accompanied by
Commissioners Prouty and Fifer, left
Tor Cincinnati to hear another COM
plant against the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe railroad company and thirty
other common carriers. This comes
from the National Wholesale Liquor
Dealers associat ton.
It is alleged the railroads have prac-
ticed discrimination against whisky in
favor of alcohol, highwines, and pure
proof spirits. The complaint states that
prior to December 1, 1903 the defend
ant railroads charged for transporta-
ton of whisky in wood between points
In the east and middle west on the one
hand and the Pacific coast terminals
on the other at the rate of 81 for a
hundred pounds, while the charge on
alcohol. highWines, and pure proof spir-
its was at least 40 cents less.
It further is charged that in April,
1904, the rate on whisky was increased
with no corresponding increase in the
tariff on raw spirit and high wines. The
wholesale liquor dealers aIlege this ac-
ton on the part of the common car
in violation of the law. After the evil
dence is taken by the interstate COM
meTce commission at Cincinnati hear
ingS will be held at other points.
