ter of collisions Just as great as that
Of the electric roads, we would urge
a similar rule to the above to apply to
steam roads, which would have the
effect of compelling them to supply, In
conjunction with the electric roads,
hagmen, or interloeking switches, at all
points where they cross the electric
roads, and would tend to encourage
the doing away sooner or later with all
grade crossings. And we furthermore
recommend the passage of an ordinance
limiting steam cars to fifteen miles an
hour, inside the city limits, when run
ming through or across public high
ways.
Recommendation 9. That cars
should come to full stop before start
ing to descend a hill of dangerous
grade, and that a test should be made
of the air brake before the descent be-
gins.
Simplify Rights Of Way
accommodation 10. That the
whole system of rights of way be sim
plified, as it is now too dificult and
too complicated to. be carried In the
head of the average motorman, and
motormen are likely to be changed from
one route to another at short notice.
accommodation IL. We urge that
the laws be enforced against the use
of the downtown streets for depot pur-
poses. We are certain this practice
will be the cause of many accidents as
our thoroughfares become more crowd
ed.
Recommendation 12. That the
companies issue a rule that when cars
are crowded together, through accident
or unusual congestion, they should not
be allowed to mass in a continuous line,
but that openings should be left at IN
tervals. Also that motormen should not
encroach on the public crossings with
the front end of the cars.
accommodation 13. That the COM
panies operating single tracks reor-
ganize and improve the efficiency of
their system of operation.
accommodation No. A. We would
urge the companies to make a critical
inspection of the practical efficiency
of the safety or hand brakes with
which care are supplied. We find that
many of these are allowed to get out
of order and remain ineffective.
Modify Appliances
Recommendation 15 That in view
of the terrible accident on Second and
Spring, caused by the failure of the
magnetic brake, the companies using
that device should consider whether
they ought not to remodel the inter-
locking appliance, whereby 1t is neces-
sary to throw off the current by hand
before the brake can be used. Also
that this brake be used on all hill
climbing cars.
Recommendation 16. That the fen
der ordinance, No. 1879, be complied

Time Is comIns When the UniustIy
Wealthy Man Must Spend His
Money HinseIf--Four Thou
sand Applaud Utterances
~ Assoclated Prasa.

BY Associated Press
WICHITA, Kas-. oct. 9.--W. J. Bryan
made six speeches here today. being
accorded great reception by mem
bers Of all parties.
Five thousand persons heard him to-
night in the Colisyeum at Wonderland
park. He declared that he was more
interested in the success Of the politi-
cal ideas which he advocated than he
was in furthering his own candidacy
for an office.
IT believe the people Of this country
have for a generation paid too much
homage to men with money" he said.
'But a change is now taking place.
As evidence he cited the controversy
in missionary council over the ques-
tion Of accepting a, donation from John
d. Rockefeller.
Heretofore" said he, "the object
has seemed so good that churches and
schools have been CHAD to accept such
funds and ask no questions.
1.-THE discussion arising recently fndi-
Gates that the time is coming when
the unjustly rich man must spend his
money on himself will be glad to
see that day.
''I shall rejoice when It becomes the
time to say to the rich man who thus
tries to ease his conscience and to buy
the good will of his fellow men. No,
you got your money by violating your
obligation to be just and human to
the poor and you may keep it to learn
how poor is the man who has nothing
but money"
Los Angeles herald., 1906-10-10

the pay of the motorman. Under the
present system, here and elsewhere,
the motormen and conductors receive
exactly the same pay. This seems to
us, like many other things In the sys-
tenn, to bark back to the days when
the motorman was mule driver.
His responsibility then was insignif-
lcant, and the conductor, in fact, drew
a higher wage than he With the ad-
vent of the cable his pay rose to equal
that Of the conductor, and they both
advanced I'm unison until the present
figures were reached under electricity
The average pay Of motormen under
the new scale will be from $75 to SS5
month Some will reach 800, by
hard work and good luck In the matter
OF runs, and rare examples may be
quoted of $110. or even $120. We are
at q loss to understand the distinction
as to responsibility Of service between
the work of the motorman, running O
car at sixty miles an hour, carrying
fifty passengers, and a locomotive en-
gineer, although we recognize, of
course, that It Is customary and neces-
sary to exact q much longer period Of
instruction and a higher degree Of
technical skill from the engineer.
School Of instruction
Recommendation q. That in the
future adjustment Of schedule, mo-
tormen receive from 10 to 20 per cent
more than conductors, and that pro-
motions be made as far as practicable
from conductor to motorman. The
danger attached to breaking in new
motorman would certainly be lessened,
IL he had had previous experience as q
conductor.
Recommendation %. That in the
formation of new schedules the epochs
of advancing wages be shortened
and that they reach a maximum
in five years, by which time a man has
probably attained his full measure Of
proficiency.
Recommendation %. That the
shop instruction be made systemat-
ic instead of intrusted to chance, and
that a regular school of instruction be
opened for motormen of all degrees,
with some form of encouragement to
those that attain special proficiency.
Recomm endation "a. That the bond
be reduced = 1t seems to be con-
ceded that it is unnecessarily high
and that the company assist men in
carrying preliminary expense. Further
more, that some compensation, enough
at least to pay for meals, be given the
student, to be paid back later If
thought advisable. Cases have been
reported to us where motOrmen certi-
fed to the competency of students
working under them because the latter
were in serious want. We do not be-
lieve the companies loss for advance
would aggregate serious figure. Men
would not go through twenty days

ACCIDENT COMMITTEE
REPORTS ITS LIST OF
RECOMMENDATIONS
DEMANDS ORDINANCES OF COUNCIL
Finds Proportion Of Fatalities and Serious In
iuries from Street Cars Greater in Los
Angeles Than Any Other City and
Suggests Number of Remedies

I the public. We shall consider them In
| that order.
There is no doubt in the minds of any
of this commission, and there is, we be-
| lieve, no doubt in the minds of the rail-
way people themselves, that the pri-
mary and largest cause for accidents in
this vicinity Is too great speed.
accommodation 3. While we
admit that a street car speed ordinance
Is extremely difficlt of enforcement,
and while we believe that the matter
could be much better controlled by the
companies themselves, If they were
willing to adopt reasonable schedules,
nevertheless, since the four and eight
miles at crossings ordnance is on the
statute book, we call upon the mayor,
who was very active in securing It's
passage, and who is the head of the
police department of this city, to see
that it is enforced. If 1t is found to be
impracticable, 1t can be repealed and
one that is more reasonable substi-
tuted in it's place.
Carry Sign
Recommendation A. That all
cars carry a sign or transparency that
can be dropped into view by the motor
man at the front of the car, showing
the words Take Next Car" or some
equivalent, to be used when no stops
will be made. This is the usual prac-
tice in American cities.
Recommendation 5. Thai all
cars be plainly marked, as to destina-
ton, on the front end, and with trans
parent letters at night.
Recommendation 8. Believing that
the responsibility of the steam roads
for the loss of human life is, in the mat

that the schedule be so arranged as to

Enforce Days OF
Recommendation rs. That oc-
casional days Off be enforced. One
motorneer testified to having taken
only six days off In three years-two a
year. It Is not safe to trust to brain
and nerves for such long continuous
service.
Hecommendatlon 81. That an ordi-
nance be passed establishing q fine
of $500 for unnecessarily talking to a
motorman, and that a sign ANNOUNCE
ing this fact be hung above the motor
mans place in the car. Furthermore,
that in the outside trolley cars, the
motorman be boxed In away from the
passengers, and that the companies
deal very severely with their own en-
ployes who talk to motormen unneces-
sarily.
Recommendation 2s. That an ordi-
nance be passed similar to the one
to be found In almost every city Of the
United States, compelling teamsters to
give right of way to cars There is no
reason why cars should be compelled
to congest the street and to get behind
in their schedules because some obsti-
nate driver will not get off the track.

WOOL BIDS REJECTED,
BOSTON SCHEME FAILS

Idaho wool growers are not get
ting prices that they demand and
only those who need the money and
prefer to sell rather than take
chances on the future market and
pay interest on loans are disposing
of their clips. The trip of F. w.
Gooding to Boston, to make arrange
ments for shipping direct, was, it
is reported, failure. The bankers
there, presumably on request of the
dealers, refused to advance the
money necessary to handle the Ida
no clip. Nor has the sales day prop
osition been a bowling success. 1t
is so easy for the few buyers to hold
a caucus, combine and give the
sheep man the double cross.
There were only four buyers
here Tuesday, F. H. Johnson and ].
M. Johnson, of Boise, who bid in
their own names, l. Koshland, rep
resenting the firm of j. Koshland &
Co., and F. S. Frankenstein, repre-
senting Hecht, Lehman & Co.
Although there was large guam
tity stored here, only eight clips
400 bags, were offered and three
clips, III bags, were sold, bids on
the other five being rejected, and
the wool withdrawn. The follow
ing was sold:
Belts & Odeaga, 107 bags, sold
to F. II. Johnson for 1888 cents.
Cooley & Smith, 81 bags, sold to
Hecht, Liebman & Co. at 18A cents.
II. D. Lawson, ID bags, sold to
F. H. Johnson at 1913 cents.
These were rejected:

AN ISLAND ONLY
TECHNICALLY
Attorney Wolfe Will Test
an Interesting Legal
Point in Land
Case.

Attorney Wolfe went to HALEY
ness. The case is one of much
interest, and the law involved
applies to land held by many set
tiers. The title OF the case is o.
p. Johnson versus William John
son ct al. The land in dispute is
technically an island in Snake river,
over in Lincoln county.
Tie plaintiff has patent for GER
tain lots of land, the government
survey of which runs to the high
river bank. Below, between this
bank and the water in the river, is
more land, more valuable than that
above, for it is easily irrigated.
Through o. P. Johnson's land above
runs creek that goes over the
bank. Where it strikes the flat it
divides, one fork flowing direct to
the river, the other along the bank
some distance before it, too, turns,
crosses the flat and enters the
Snake. The island thus formed is
the land to which title is being con-
tested.
Attorney Wolfe started a civil
suit and asked for an injunction
restraining defendants from occu-
plying the ground. The injunction
was denied, and the case will come
fr.r- f-t ID nj
court, on its merits.
The plaintiff claims this land on
the ground that he owns a lot, a
fractional subdivision, which, ac-
cording to description, the Snake
river forms the boundary of one side.
In many places the river bank is
100 or more feet high, perpendicu-
lar, and the government survey ends
at the brink. Some years since
this same plaintiff, with Mr.. Wolfe
as his attorney, fought and won a
similar case, the only difference
being that there was no creek to
form an island, the land being four
or five miles up stream. In that
case Judge Price ruled against At
torney Wolfe's contention that his
client owned the land down to the
water edge, but was reversed by
the supreme court. The case is
reported in full, with diagrams, in
the Pacific Reporter.
Mr.. Wolfe claims that the same
principle of law is involved in this
case, that the mere fact that the Icy
of the ground divides the creek does
not alter the vital point.

dispatch. The senator believes

years, and while friendly to other
candidates, says they should be con-
tent to wait two years more Their
time will come, he declares. Hey
burn repeats his opposition to the
nomination of a United States SEN
ator at the state convention, saying
the convention does not faithfully

He says conventions are not respon-

performance of their duty. If the

ing the functions of the 1egisla-

sent the choice of the people than
