SACRAMENTO, April lS-All the plans
for running trains on the Western d.

tween this city and Oakland were
knocked out this morning by the terrific
earthquake shock In fact. the train dis
patcher's oltice was practically thrown
out OF business from the fact that IL had
no telegraph wires operating to San Fran
cisco and no connection could be had by
telephone.
Track Disappears.
But the breakdown of the wires was
not one-half tho cause OF trouble for the
railroad officials. A short time after the
big shock, came message from Suisun
Solano county, saying that long section
of railroad track had disappeared from
view, 1t was learned later that at one
place between Sprig and Teal stations in
the Suisun marshes. for a distance OF one
mile and half, the track had been sunk
down from three to six feet, and at an
other point nearby 1000 feet OF track went
out. Trains which should be dispatched
for San Francisco early this morning had
to be brought back and they were sent to
the Bay city by the Lathrop route.

Reason Why Women Should
Vote at Local Option Elections

The reasons some journals allege
against women voting at local option
elections are in reality arguments for
such voting. Such is the case with re-
gard to the argument presented by the
Port Clinton, O., News, in recent edi-
torial on the subject, in which it says:
cit is proposed to give women the
right to vote at local option elections
in Ohio. This is equivalent to adopt
ing prohibition in this state. There is
not county in Ohio that would vote
wet in contest of this kind 1t would
be as unfair as county option. People
of one or two townships would dictate
the policy of the entire county. Ottawa
is grape growing and wine producing
county, and the people who raise grapes
and make the wine are not Incorporate,
yet it is extremely doubtful if the VETS
could carry more than three townships
in this county if the women were al
lowed to vote. However, women have
some form of suffrage in twenty-six
states. In some of the western states
they vote for all officers, and can hold
any Office in the gift of the people of
their states
We are perfectly reconciled to pro-
hibition ii womens voting would bring
it. And we would be reconciled to the
voting too.-American Issue

How He Pays His 81, 900 Tax


"a thousand-dollar license" said the
man behind the bar
AS he lightly knocked the ashes from
his No. 1 cigar;
well, guess that can stand it if the
other fellow can,
But I'll have to shape my business on
the thousand-dollar plan.
And if the law insists on the thousand
dollar raid
I will have to shift the burden to the
shoulders of my trade
Or, rather, to their stomachs, if their
stomachs can sustain
And their kidneys stand the pressure of
this thousand-dollar strain.
And I'll drown them and I'll drench
them, and I'll do my level best,
Till the dear old oaken bucket signs for
solitude and rest;
And I'll mix them and I'll fix them with
the cheapest, vilest stuff,
Till the kidneys boiler murder and
the liver shouts enough
And I'll trim them to a finish and I'll
trim them to a stand,
Till an honest glass of whisky is
stranger in the land;
And the Shakes and snakes and Jim
jams and 'delirium tremens' too,
Amt a marker or a circumstance to
either one of you;
And I'll pay that thousand dollars and
respect the license clan,
Though for every dollar that I pay I'll
have to kill man.

The BEES CLAIM IS UPHELD
Recognized by Judge TrOup as the Paper of
Largest Circulation.
SOUTH OMAHA BOARD MUST GIVE IN
Court Renders Opinion I'm MAndamua
Suit over the Publication of
saloon Licenses and APplica-
tiOns to Police Commission.

Judge Troup Thursday afternoon rem
dered an opinion in the mandamus suit Of
The Evening Bee against The South Omaha
Fire and Police Board. UNFOLDING the con-
tention of The Bee that the board must
recognize applications for saloon licenses,
notice of which has been published in the
newspaper having the largest circulation
in the county
The suit was the result OF action taken
by the board, in which 1t decided 70 fol-
low a provision OF the South Omaha char
ter that notices OF application should be
published in a paper published in the city
and having at least 800 SUBSCRIBERS. The
contention OF The Bee was based on the
fact the Slocumb law provides the notices
must be published in the paper having the
largest circulation in the county.
Judge Troup decided the provision Of the
charter was invalid, as 1t attempts to
amend the Slocumb law without setting
forth the section II amends
He also declared the action OF the board
in announcing in advance II would follow
the charter provision was improper. though
it may have been made in good faith. The
only question, he said. was whether or
not the board had gone far enough so its
action could be considered a refusal to
/ recognize notices published In The Bee.
The action, he held, practically consti-
tuted refusal and put the plaintiffs in
such a position they would be unable to
assert their rights without resorting 20

The South Omaha board will be required
TO pay the costs incurred in the suit.
