OIL ON TROUBLED STREETS

Reasonable allowance should be made
for neglected street work caused by
the lack of financial means. 1t is diff
ficult to see, however, how any excuse
can be allowed for neglect in keeping
streets decent that require merely a
renewal of an oil squirt. In some cases
streets that were in good condition for
months after oil treatment have been
neglected a year or more. One street,
for example, which has been thus
neglected fifteen months, will be on the
windward sine of one of the big public
school buildings about to be erected.
The street in question is Euclid avenue,
in the rapidly improving district of
southeast Boyle Heights. Not only
has the city done nothing in the way
of renewing the oil surfacing applied
originally in December, 1904, but the
railway company has never made a
preterse of doing it's lawful part by oil
ing between it's tracks.
The street superintendent has had
multiform troubles to contend with and
is entitled TO due consideration i'm crit
icism but there can be no excuse for
Los Angeles herald., 1906-04-07
such dereliction of lawful duty on the
part of the railway management as is
here pointed out.
TALKING 1T TO DEATH

The United States senate appears to
have entered upon an exhaustive and
exhausting program of talking the
freight rate regulation bill to death.
1t was at the outset an avowed pur-
pose on the part of the railroad SELL
ators to cover the bill with so many
amendments that Mr.. Hepburn would
be unable to recognize it. They al
ready have enough amendments pend
ing to destroy the measure if any
considerable portion of them are
adopted. And now, in further pursu-
ance of the original plan, the merry
work of talking the bill to death is in
progress.
Prophecies are plentiful that freight
rate regulation by congressional en-
actment is already doomed to defeat
and that even President Roosevelt has
succumbed to the insidious arguments
of the corporation lawyers by whom lie
is surrounded, both in and out of his
cabinet 1t seems probable that some
sort of freight rate regulation bill may
be passed. but the indications are that
lle SllHS VIII De removed from CIiS
Hepburn bill and that when passed it
may be valueless to the people.
Democrats in the senate and house
are in the minority. They cannot do
more than vote their full strength ana
use all the powers of eloquence and
argument. In this they have been
Joined in the house by enough good
Republicans to pass the Hepburn bill
through that body. The senate seems
hopeless. Senator Foraker is able to
hold the statehood bill as club over
the heads of certain Republican SEN
ators who value partisanship more than
they do the good of the country, While
the railroad senators are clustered to-
gether in support of corporation
measures.
1t is a serious situation for the people,
but hope still remains that something
definite will soon be accomplished.

RAILWAY WORLD
"WHY DOESN'T THE MOTOR CAR
WoRK?"
Railroad Men Believe Hartman Can
Answer Question-Think Presi=
dent of Southern Pacific Is
Planning Surprise

"Why doesn't the gasoline motor car
that has been tested by the Southern
Pacific Work?' is the question that the
railroad officials are asking each other.
There are several other cars of SINH
lar design" said an official yesterday,
that are giving very satisfactory SerV-
ice in the east and l can conceive no
reason why this car should not work,
for the climatic conditions are better
here than elsewhere"
Nearly every day reports are re-
CeiVed in Los Angeles regarding the
workings of these cars between cities
in Nebraska Kansas and Texas and
in every case the reports say that the
cars are performing the duties required
of them better than was anticipated
when they were put into service.
The last Railway Age contains an
article about one of the cars in service
in Texas, which reads as follows:
For some time past one of the gaso-
line motor cars designed by w. r. Nc
Keen jr., of the Union Pacific, has
been in service between Houston and
Galveston, Tex, ON the Galveston, Har-
risburg & San Antonio railroad. The car
has been satisfactorily making a
schedule of about twenty-eight miles
an hour, including stops"
The car in use in Texas was designed
by the same man as designed the car
in the Southern Pacific shops and the
two coaches We're built after the same
specifications hence the question,
why won't this car work?"
The car came to Los Angeles from
Omaha on it's own power and passed
through snow a foot deep and en-
countered bad weather, and yet the
trip was made without a mishap.
While Mr.. McKeen was in Los An
geles the car was thoroughly tested
and was pronounced as satisfactory by
the Southern Pacific officials, who
stated that number of other cars
would be ordered and put into service
on the beach lines.
The car here was put on schedule
run between Los Angeles and Long
Beach and San Pedro, but for some
reason yet unexplained, it was never
able to maintain the schedule.
AS long as Mr.. McKeen was here the
car worked very satisfactorily, but
as soon as he left the trouble began.
One solution that has been offered by
railroad men in answer TO the question
as to why the car does not run is that
it may be f. II. Harriman's orders not
to let it perform it's work.
There is a feeling among railroad
men that the president of the Southern
Pacific does not want this car to work
until enough cars are constructed to be
put on all of the runs to the beaches.
1t is known that a large number of the
cars are being constructed in the shops
at Omaha.
This may be in connection with Har-
riman's plans to force II. r. Hunting
ton to allow him to have an interest in
the Los Angeles railway, say rail-
road men.

HONEST CABMAN REWARDED
Finds $4,000 and Restores Money to
Owner, Who LaVishes 500 and
Cigar Upon Him
By a Assoclated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 6.-Sir Algernon
Charles CoOte, Irelands premier bar
onet, who returned here a few days
ago from Nashville Tenn, where he
had been attending the fifth annual in
ternational convention of the Student
Volunteer Movement has Il high ap-
probation of the honesty of our cab
men.
Yesterday, just before leaving for
Canada, Sir Charles drove i'm a hanson
from his hotel to Wall street to cash a
draft. He put the money in a pocket
book, and put the pocketbook in an
outside pocket of his topcOat, which
he carried over his arm. He drove back
to the hotel Immediately on leaving the
bank, and while passing through the
corridor to take the elevator he sud-
denly missed his pocketbook.
Just as he turned to retrace his
steps, the cabman who had driven him
to and from the bank came hurrying
up with the pocketboOll in his hand
He had found il lying on the seat of
his cab.
The wallet contained $1,000 in bills,
mostly of large denominations. Sir
Charles gave the cabman $40 and a
cigar.

RAIN HINDERs REPAIR WORK
Salt Lake Will Be Open April AS.
p. Tomorrow

Southern Pacific officials say that
they are tired of guessing as to when
the valley line will be open. The latest
advice from the north is that the line
will be clear some time Sunday after
noon.
Il guess the whole mountain will
come down." said an official yesterday
IF it does we will haul it away and
then there can't be any more land
slides"
The third slide, which came early
Thursday evening near tunnel II, car
ried with it more dirt and rock than
either of the other two slides.
AS many men as can work to ad-
vantage are helping large steam
shovel to clear away the debris.
The date for the opening of the salt
Lake for through business has again
been postponed on account of the rain
which has been falling near the Mead
ow Wash valley.
r. C. Peck, assistant general pas
senger agent, yesterday received word
from General Manager Wells, who is
directing the repair work from the
west end, saying that all work had
been stopped for twenty-four hours on
account of the rain but that the
weather cleared yesterday and the
men We're again busy.
Mr.. Wells said that the line will
probably be repaired by Saturday
April IA,
The rush of the water has weakened
some of the repaired track in places
so that more work had to be done
upon it but this will take but a short
fine.

NOW FOR THE OWL CARS

The general NOiCing by the puDllC Oh d
demand for all-night or owl car SER
vice should be needed by the trolley
companies without a grunble. If the
request for such service came only from
few-those who work at night or are
detained down town until after mid
night-it would be right and proper
for the street railway companies TO
heed it; this class has as much claim
to perfect service as has any other.
But these people are only the few, and
probably their voices would be raised
unheard if alone.
However, the necessarily late are

enemies for the city.
