CITY ELEcTEIcIANs COMPLAIN.

Representatives of the electrical
workers employed by the city called on
Acting Mayor Gallagher yesterday and
asked that they be given regular
union wages. Gallagher promised to
do what he could for them, but said
that as the charter fixed the wages
they should receive, he was in doubt
as to what could be done to better their
condition.
The electricians employed by the city
receive s3Ra day, while the union scale
is S3.75 a day. They are often called
out to do night work, but under the
provisions of the charter they can get
no extra pay for doing it.

|MayCharge Officials of United
Roads With Manslaughter.
Summons Issued bv
Judge Cabaniss
on Complaint.

A summons for the United Railroads
through its officials or attorneys. to an
pear and answer to a criminal COM
plafnt charging 1t with a mfx<lemeanor
I'm falling TO provide tenders ON all its
cars was ISSUED late yesterday after
noon by Police Judge Cabanfss The
summons will be served on Thornwell
Mutually, assistant to President Pat
rick Calhoun, and Is returnable October
10. If sufficient evidence can be Sc
cured by the District Attorneys Office
regarding the responsibility for the
condition of the cars of the United
Railroads, charges of manslaughter
will be preferred at once against the
officials of the company in connection
with the killing of Helen Umfred by n
car at Third and Mission streets Tues
day night.
The summons issued yesterday was
based on the complaint drawn under
the direction OF District Attorney
NLangdon Wednesday night and signed
by r. w. Harrison. It charges the
United Railroads under section S69a of
the Penal Code with misdemeanor in
operating a car on the Sutter-street
line without fender While the
action is a criminal one, the fact that
it is brought against a corporation
and that only a fine can result in case
of conviction. gives ii more the nature
of civil suit for damages.
LANGDoN Dissatisfied.
District Attorney. Langdon is dis
satisfied, however, with the effect of
such actions, and in furtherance of his
announced intention of bringing in
dividuaI criminal prosecutions against
the officers of the company has stated
that charges of manslaughter will be
made if sufficient evidence gan be pro-
cured. The provision of the Penal
Code on which reliance for such a
step is based is found in the following
sections:
Section 1872. Manslaughter is the un-
lawful killing of human being with
out malice. 1t is of two kinds:
1. Voluntary-upon a sudden quar-
rel or heat of passion.
2. Involurfnry-fn the commission OF
an unlawful act not amounting to a
felony; or in the commission of a law
full act which might produce death. in
an unlawful manner, or without due
caution and circumspection.
Section 1913. Manslaughter is punish
able by Imprisonment in the State
/ prison not exceeding ten years.
I The fact that the operation of cars
without tenders is misdemeanor
I brings a death caused by one of these
cars within the scope of the definition
1 of involuntary manslaughter and
places tie responsibility for such man
+ slaughter on those responsible for the
condition of the cars.

The trouble expected by District At
torney Langdon and others in his office
who have been engaged in searching
the statutes for some provision on
which to base criminal charges against
President Calhoun. Mutually and other
officials and directors OF the United
Railroads is that 1t will be difficult to
pin the responsibility for the operation
of the cars on the shoulders of any in
dividuaL To do this ii will be neces-
sary TO show not only that the officials
in question had knowledge of the fact
that cars of the company were being
run without tenders. but that they
themselves ordered such operation In

charge of the prosecution that not only
