RASMUSSEN KICKED.
But the Brooklyn People Will Sup
 port the City Fathers.

Notwithstanding the storm almost all the members of the Brooklyn Im- provement committee were present last evening at the meeting held in the Lyceum to decide whether a com promise would be made with the C.. K. and L. Go in regard to the condi- tions imposed by the city for line in Robbins street. The letter from Mayor Thoms to the Brooklyn com mittee in regard to an appeal, print ed in this paper last night, was read, and 1t was voted to back the city in any action it might take against the trolley company, and the following }vote was passed after the members s)had discussed the situation thorough ly:
 Voted, That the proposal sug- gested by Mayor William B. Thoms to divide the cost of the proposed Improvements for Robbins street Squally between the city of Water bury and the Connecticut Railway and Lighting Go, is eminently fair to the company, and that we so notify the parties concerned
 Chairman John Henderson called CAc McclluS u OTu0f duu Sdlu llldl IL was called to encourage an agree ment with the city and the trolley company. He said that he was not in favor of pulling away from the city and would not encourage any such action.
 Attorney James M. Lynch said that the mayor would not listen to any proposition of the trolley com pany which did not include their paying for o1le-lalf the expense of fixing Robbins street. Almost all the Brooklyn people are of the opinion that the c. R. and l.. Co should be willing to pay S18,0O0 or $19,000 ito lay their rails in Robbins street.
 Hans Rasmussen thought that a tmatter of $5,0O0 or $6,O0O to the Acity should not be the means of de- lpriving the Town Plot people of their ,line, but the others did not agree with him.
 A new idea sprung at the meeting Hast evening was that of bringing it about so that the city government will tell the trolley company where 1t wants the lines. A conference of ,all the mayors may be brought to- igether with this purpose in view. :.

TWENTY THOUSAND PEOPLE
HEAR W. J. BRYAN'S SPEECH
CONTINUED from Pnee TWO,

they have demonstrated their ability
to sell I'm competition with the world
The high tariff has long been bur-
den to the consumers i'm the Unitel
States, and II is growing more and
more q menace to our foreign COM
merce because It arouses resentment
and provokes retaliation.
The railroad question is also inter-
woven with the trust question Nearly
all the private monopolies have received
rebates or secured other advantages
over competitors.
Absolute equality of treatment at the
hands of the railroads would go far to-
ward Gripping the trusts, and I rejoice
that the president has had the courage
to press the question on congress.
While the law, as It was finally dis
torted by the senate, is not all that
could be wished, 1t deserves a fair
trial.
Rate regulation was absolutely neces-
sary and It furnishes some relief from
the unbearable conditions which pre-
viously existed, but we must not for
get that the vesting of this enormous
power i'm the hands of the commits
sion appointed by the president intro
duces a new danger.
If an. appointive board has the pow
er to fix rates and can, by the ex-
erc1Se by tnat power, increase ana
decrease by hundreds of millions of
dollars the annual revenues of the rail-
roads, will not the railroads feel that
they have a large pecuinary interest
in the election of a president friendly
to the railroads?
Y Experience r. demonstrated that
municipal corruption is largely trace
able to the fact that franchise cor
porations desire to control the city
couicil and thus increase their divi-
dends.
If railway managers adopt the same
policy the sentiment in favor of the
ownership of the railroads by the
government is likely to increase as
rapidly throughout the country as the
sentiment in favor of municipal owner
ship has increased in the cities.
/ have already reached the conclu-
sion that railroads partake so much
OF the nature of a monopoly that they
must ultimately become public prop
erty and be managed by public officials
in the interest of the whole COM
munity in connection with the well
defined theory that public ownership
is necessary where competition is i'm
possible.
l do not know if the country is ready
for this change. do not know that a
majority of my own party favors it,
but l believe that an increasing num-
ber of the party see in government own
ership the sure remedy for discrmina-
tions between persons and politics
and for the extortionate rates for the
carrying of freight and passengers.

WOUNDS YOUNG WOMAN
IN SHOOTING GALLERY
BOY TOYS WITH RIFLE AND AT.
TENDANT Is HURT
Miss Parsons PluekIIy Walked Into
Receiving Hospital With a Shat
tered clavicIe-Careless Youth Of
fers Police Four Cents to Free Him

Tillie Parsons, a pretty attendant at
the shooting gallery Of Ferd Kobald,
100 East First street, was shot in the
right shoulder yesterday afternoon by
Marion Pontius of lat Gless street.
Witnesses said the boy was lettering
about the gallery and was handling
the rifles until Miss Parsons told him
to leave the place. He was playing
with a 22-calber rifle at the time and
in laying it down in some way the
weapon was discharged and the little
leaden pellet entered the shoulder of
the young woman.
She pluckily bore the pain and walked
with a smiling face from the police
ambulance into the receiving hospital.
1t was found the bullet had shattered
a portion OF the clavicle and caused a
painful but not dangerous wound.
Young Pontius whimpered as he was
led into Detective Captain Flammer's
private office and offered the officer
four cents-all he possessed-to be al
lowed to go free.
Under the circumstances of such
carelessness the captain decided the
boy should be locked up, for time at
least, and he was taken into custody.
Miss Parsons lives at 217 East

PASADENA, Aug. 30.-Albert e.
Barnes, secretary of the Pasadena Or
ange Growers association, has about
completed the final payments to MEM
bers of the association for the late or
Valencia orange crop, the season of
which is now closed.
According to his figures here pub
lished for the first time growers receive
about $2.S4 per box. taking all sizes into
consideration. This is far ahead of the
prices which held for the preceding sea-
son, making the season one of the best
the association has ever known.
The same thing holds true for the
navel oranges, which will average about
SIPS per box the season through, al
though the years accounts will not be
closed until about October /.
AS for the coming season growers are
a bit in doubt, although 1t is not likely
that anything near the same prices or
yield may be expected.
1t is reported in the Pasadena and
Alhambra district at least that the crop
is setting light and that too many

These are busy days for the orange
grower, however. He is entering upon
the spraying or fumigating season, pro-
tecting his trees from the black and

He is finding some evidence of the red
spider in the citrus groves, but as yet
little damage from this source is re-

President C. A. Day Of the Orange
Growers association. who is also in
spector in the Alhambra and Pasadena
district. stated to The Herald this even
ing that orange growers hereabouts are
preparing to do more fumigating this
fall than ever before.
They are finding that their use of
spraying apparatus in their orchards
has not destroyed the scale and they
are turning to the other method as
being best calculated to AFFORD them the
relief they need.
This season there will be at least four
sets of fumlgating tents and outfits in
this district

SAYS TRUSTS ARE A
POLITICAL DEVELOPMENT

Just a word more in regard to the
trusts. Some defend them on the
ground that they are an economic de-
velopment and that they cannot be
prevented without great injury to our
Industrial system.
This may be answered in two ways.
First. trusts are a political develop
ment rather than an economic one, and,
second, the trust system cannot be per-
mitted to continue even though 1t did
result in a net economic gain.
1t is political, because 1t rests upon
the corporation. and the corporation
rests upon a statutory foundation. The
trust. instead of being a natural de-
Velopment. is a form of legalized lar
ceny, and can exist only so long as
the law permits 1t to exist.
That there is an economic advantage
In production on large scale may be
admitted, but because a million yards
Of cloth can be produced In one factory
at a lower price per yard than one
aundred thousand yards can be pro-
duced in the same factory, II does not
follow that cloth would be produced
