GIVE IMPETUS
TO AMENDMENTS
JUDGE DECLARES MoToRMAN
NOT GUILTY
Action viii Add to Strength Of Prop.
osition to Rearrsnge City Charter
and Cover Freight Carrying
QUESTION

By a decision adverse to the city in
the question OF the right of the cleo
trio railways to carry freight, handed
down by Judge Smith yesterday, AS
sistant City Attorney Hewitt believes
great impetus has been given to the
movement to provide charter amend
ment on the question.
In April q motornan of an Interur-
ban Electric car was arrested on a
charge of committing a nuisance by
operating a freight car. The case was
In the nature Of a test. In the Justice
court the motorman was adtudged
guilty and the case was appealed to
the superior courts 1t was tried be-
fore Judge Smith and yesterday he re-
versed the decision. But Mr.. Hewitt
declares the question of freight carry
ing has not been settled by the decis-
ion, as Judge Smith simply decided
that a motorman operating one freight
car was not guilty of maintaining
public nuisance. The judge intimated
that the proper methods of determining
the freight carrying proposition was by
quo warranto proceedings.
About a year ago this Office asked
the council for an ordinance prohibit
ing the carrying of freight by the street
railway companies" said Mr.. Hewitt
yesterday. I'VE have no such ordi-
nance and nothing In the charter. but
the state law forbds the maintaining
of a nuisance on the public streets
This does not mean a nuisance in the
civil sense, but legally, as something
not authorized by law.
Franchise Not a Charter
I'VE had to have recourse to this law
In bringing action in this case and the
absence of an ordinance, believe will
give impetus to the proposed amend
ment to the charter providing for the
privilege of freight carrying under
proper restrictions
I'm the absence of the full text of
Judge Smiths decision I am at loss
to tell what this department will do
further on this case. 1t appears that
the judge recommends quo warranto
proceedings to determine the issue on
which ruling was sought in this case.
''If that is the opinion of Judge Smith
it is apparently based on the idea that
a franchise is a charter and we are un-
able to agree with this view. We do
not think that a franchise Is in any
legal sense charter. But the ques-
tion of freight carrying has not yet
been decided
1t is popular belief that City At
torney Mathews and his deputies are
prejudiced against freight carrying by
the electric railways. This impression
has been gained largely through the eff
forts of the city attorneys depart
ments to prosecute the railways for
carrying freight.
But Mr.. Mathews explained to the
council Monday that his personal opin-
ion was that freight carrying under
properly restricted conditions would be
OF advantage to the city, and that, per-
sonally, he was not opposed to it, but
it was his legal opinion that the cleo
trio railways did not have the right to
carry freight and that, legally, he was
opposed to itsand the suits had all been
instituted on legal grounds alone.

Another Diu at Powers,

A few days ago Gov. Cobb. Of
Maine. and Hon. w. r. Pattangall.
prominent in politics in the same
state. were together on a train. Mr..
Pattangall is q lawyer and an editor.
the writer of the humorous "Meddy.
bemps Letters" appearing in his pa.
per, the Machias Union.
In the course Of conversation, Gov.
Cobb remarked to Mr.. Pattangall: 81
don't see why you and Llwellyn Pow
ers should be so extremely antag'
onistic to each other. Neither of you
ever fails to give the other rap
when there is opportunity"
At this point an interested listener
in the car leaned toward their chairs
and asked rs it really true that ex-
Gov Powers is OF Indian dcscent?"
We'll. the Indians deny it" Mr..
Pattangall answered. In his iui,nitabls

He Knew the Sub iects.

IN far western canon, near the
Mexican border, are four graves, the
headboards marking them fashioned
from the rough deals of a packing
case. In the graves are buried three
of little party of seekers after 60 IT,,
and one of a band of "greasers" from
across the boundary who contested
the American claim to the rich terri
tory in the canon.
The faulty orthography of the rude
ly carved epitaphs justifies the con.
lecture that the "Padder" on the first
headboard is intended for "Padre'--a "A
sobriquet sometimes bestowed in the
lawless Southwest upon an absteni

tertained ideas as to the ultimate des-
tination Of his fallen companions, and
