MAYOR DUNNE'S FAD
PROVES EXPENSIVE
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-Mayor Dunne's
fad, in his futile effort to bring about
municipal ownership of street railways
in Chicago, Is costing the tax payers a
big lump sum each year and no results
are being attained.
He has corps of special attorneys
that is costing the city $1O5,0O0 per year.
Their duties mainly are to stand around
and tell of the benefits of municipal
ownership of street railways, but not
aiding the city directly at all.
Any jackleg lawyer who has weird
ideas as to how traction lines should
be operated by the city can get on the
payroll at salary ranging from $1,000
to $500 per year.

HAVANA, Sept 1.-7"Neither side can
whip the other" is the statement now
heard everywhere in Havana, and 1t
may also be fairly construed to be
the growing conviction of thoughtful
persons throughout the island. In
Havana at least this has led among
all unprejudiced persons to express
sions OF an ardent hope that the United
States will be called upon for the pur-
pose of effectually putting an end to
condition that everybody believes
is otherwise bound to grow more and
more intolerable.
Nobody appears to believe that the
insurgents will take Havana. although
this is not regarded as impossible.
especially when 1t is considered that
cooperation in such movement as
suredly would come from within.
Everybody comedies that the govern
ment troops can continue their record

undrum which nobody pretends to

lnsurrection Growing
That the insurrection is growing con-

and the decree of pardons and recently

has brought no appreciable change In
the situation.

aid.
Los Angeles is to have owl cars
all over the city to the furthest extent
of the city limits.
Henry e. Huntington, through his
personal attorney. w. E. Dunn, has
spoken. He has promised and w. e.
Dunn has affixed his signature to the
promise, that "owl cars" will be oper-
ated after September 10.
And to The Herald be the honor and
the glory.
Yesterday morning at 10 o'clock
Councimen Kern and Healy held their
last conference with Dunn and when
they left his private office they bore
the above definite promise of Mr..
Huntington in writing.
The special committee has ended its
labors. They are near the end of their
terms as councilmen. Mr.. Kern, who
will retire from politics, feels that he
can do so with halo Of glory sur
rounding him. Mr.. Healy, who expects
to be returned to the council. feels that
through his share in the proceedings
he has earned the grateful support of
all his constituents of the Eighth ward
and in fact the whole city. And well
he may.
A Persistent Campaign
The crusade for owl cars has not
been long nor bitter. April 2. The
Herald fired the first gun in what was
to be a vigorous campaign by little
story In its railroad column suggest
ing the advantage of owl cars" Inn
mediately it struck a popular chord.
Los Angeles had long wanted owl cars,
but there had never been a systematic
effort to get them. Business and pro-
fessional men rallied to the banner or
The Herald.
The ball, at first but tiny marble
a mere suggestion.--was set rolling.
Day by day 1t gathered momentum,
size and strength uptil all Los Angeles
was voicing the demand for owl cars.
Day by day The Herald printed inter
views with the most prominent men in
the city in it's news columns and lead
ing editorials in its editorial columns.
From the tone of these interviews

Another big strike in the mine Is
the uncovering of n fine shoot near
the old workings known as the Meikle

of the tunnel a drive across the entire
