ELECTRIC CAR PERILS.

At Roger Williams Park on Thursday night
there were gathered more than twenty thousand
people to witness the pyrotechnic display, post
poned from the Fourth of July. The great ma
jority Of those who made up the vast assemblage
was carried to and from the park in open trolley
cars.
These cars were so overcrowded that passen-
gers not only filled every inch OF space between
the seats, but all the available standing room on
the running boards and on the front and rear
platforms
Obviously, the lesson of the shocking tragedy
at Moores corners made no impression upon the
management of the Rhode Island company, for its
employees made attempt to keep either running
boards or the front platforms Of the cars free from
passengers
1t is not conceivable that the Rhode Island
company management is unaware OF the danger
that menaces passengers who permitted to
ride on the running boards. 1t is equally incon-
ceivabe that it does not realize the peril OF allow
ing passengers to crowd front platforms thus ham
pering the freedom of action of the motorman and
distractng his attention from the safe guidance
of his car.
Traction companies operating in other cities
fully realize these perls and enforce rigorous rules
against such dangerous practices Not only are
passengers excluded from the running boards and
front platforms, but they not allowed to stand
between the seats of open cars.
Such regulations are dictated by common pru-
dence and by a humane desire to prevent the maim-
ing or killing OF passengers. But no such consid-
erations seem to appeal to the management OF the
Rhode Island company.
1t permits unrestrained riding in dangerous
positions and thus exposes passengers TO accidents
that may involve serious injury loss of life itself
There must be reason for such caous disregard

DANGER Of FIRE
ON WATER FRONT
Many Loads of Rubbish
Removed From the
Streets.
Time for Board of Works
to Respond for
the City.

Charles H. Spear, president of the
State Board of Harbor Commissioners.
yesterday made personal inspection OF
the spaces along the docks south of
Market street. where rubbish had
accumulated and where the danger of
fire is great. Seven hundred carloads
of rubbish were removed. Much of the.
infammable material was taken from
that portion of the water front over
which the city has control. 1t is in
order now for Mayor Sehmitz and the
Supervisors to insist that the Board of
Public Works shall take immediate
steps to assist the Harbor Commission
in work that will tend to lessen the
danger of fire. A space covering a half
mile of planned streets is under city
Jurisdiction Thereon the rubbish. as
fine as sawdust. lies to the depthi of
four inches. The horses with their
shoes strike the spikes in the planking
and sparks ignite the punklike rubbish.
Chief Engineer Norton says the large
number of incipient blazes is thus pro-
duced. The sprinkling carts that were
put out of service in the great fire
will be put on again next Monday and
the discomforts of life on East street
will be diminished.
Commissioners Mackenzie and Spear
attended the regular session of the
board yesterday. Many applications
for berths and additional accommoda-
tions on the water front were received.
1t is impossible for the board to act
favorably on all petitions Of this char.
acter. The Santa Fe Railroad desires
a platform 240x40 feet instead of a
depot.
Chief Engineer Norton filed state
ment showing that the boats of the
Southern Pacific during the three,
months ended May 81 had damaged the
ferry slips to the extent of $4,000. A
bill in that sum will be presented to
the company. 1t is represented that
CATION of the heavy boats. The Incl
slips on this side of the bay is very
much greater than damage of similar
character at the Oakland mole, where
the Southern Pacific owns the wharyes.
The Commissioners will go ahead
with the work of restoring the ferry
building and rebuilding sheds north
of Market street as soon as the State
appropriation of 100000 to repair the
water front is available. In addition
to this sum it is expected that the
board will soon be able to collect $780,
GOO from the insurance companies. The
State money will in all probability
come to hand before adjustment of
insurance is made. At the regular ses-
sion of the Legislature next January
additional allowance may be made by
the State. The lawmakers in extra
session limited the first allowance to
s100, 600 on the ground that larger
sum could not be expended expedient-
ly before the middle of next winter.

THIEF TAKES COIN
FROM sATCHEL BUT
LEAVES JEWELRY

Mrs. e. c. Harrison, 1892 Buchanan
street. has recovered the valuable jew
elry that was stolen from her house
o'clock Wednesday, morning, but the
$3.50 coin was retained by the thief.
c. Knapp, a motorTnan on one of the
electric cars running to the Ocean
Beach, noticed satchei under a seat
in the car after the passen gers had left
ON Wednesday. He picked it up and
on the return trip left ii at the car
house at Oak and Devisadero streets.
The name "E. c. Harrison" was on the
bottom of the satchel and the police
were notified Detective Whitaker
went to the earhouSe, and on opening
the satchel found the jewelry, but the
money was. gone. The thief was ap-
parently afraid that his identity would
be discovered if he retained possession
of the jewelry.
Detective Whitaker says that Mrs.
Harrison told him of another unfortu-
nate experience she had at the time of
the big fire. She was then living with
her son at 1895 Geary street and two
days previous had drawn s12,500 from
the bank, mostly in currency, prepara-
tory to going East. When the flames
were creeping toward her house she
took some things to the house of a
friend While sshe was gone her house
was dynamited and the si2,50e was lost
to her. She has searched the ruins, but
can find no trace of the money.
