MheTe there " one Wagon

rapidly increasing phase of met

Where there was one wagon a
year ago, there are a dozen now
Many people judge the life OF a city
by ITS night side, the generally accepted
idea being that II the town is wide
awake and lively at night, it necessarily
IolloWs that II Is good business tCWu
IN a more solid commercial sense in
daylight
Houston by night is unquestionably a
hNelE town Until a late hour the
streets are crowded with people Where
they are all going and why they stay
out of bed when they might as well bee
home and asieep-Well, that's their par-
sonaI privilege, and IL may not be ap-
parent at glance why they do, bur
they do.
These wagons do no business at all in
daylight. They cater entirely 10 the
night element. Their bill OF fare is not
great as TO variety. They do not carry
brolled mackerel strawberry short cake
or Neapolitan Ice cream. None of that.
But II YOU want hamburger. a hard
boiled egg, boneless ham sandwich,
ham-In-the-p pan. wienerwurst or auv-
thlng In thar line, all Won have 10 do
Is To poke your head iu at The wagon
window and tell the man. He'll fix YOU
UP IN a Jl1y, and he'll charge you d
modest sum.
Where is the night rounder who
GoeSh appreciate hamburger Ia
daylight the same man would proba bly,
dlsdaln and curl up his lip at such COM
mon food. for IN daytime he is probably
rather eNacting epicure.
But night changes the nature and the
moods and the appetite of mankind, so
the little old greasy lunch wagon looks
good
The men who operate these wagons
are philosophers and diplomats. It
sometimes requires diplomacy TO get
along smoothly with the iunch-Wagon
patrons for they sometimes see things
differently every time they take "A

and the man iu The wagon knows that
no matter how much '.SOjI1-d-+ his cUs-

generally handles him easily.
That's where his diplomacy comes
handy.
OF course. there are numerous ALL

SCHMITZ AND RUFF
ENTER JOINT MOTION
ASK COURT TO QUASH INDICT-
MENT AGAINST THEM
Charge That the Verdict by the Grand
Jury Was Given Through "5ias
and Pre- ejudice"-Judee Will An
nounce Decision Today
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 1O.-When a
motion of Mayor Schmitz' and Abra-
ham Ruef to quash the indictments
against them for extortion "on the
ground of prejudice and bias" came up
for hearing in Judge Dunne's court
today the attorneys for the accused
men asked for further time on the
ground that subpoenas are to be issued
for members of the grand jury as in
the Nicholas Duffy case.
Though the defendants interposed a
joint motion, their lawyers explicitly
stated that this does not mean a joined
issue or single trial. The proceed
ings in Judge DUNES court today
were purely perfunctory, but the usual
curious crowd gathered to watch the
proceedings.
Attorney Henry Ach supported his
motion to set aside by affidavits.
Among the claims made were the fol-
lowing:
That the defendants had not been
given an opportunity to appear before
the grand jury and answer the charges
contained in the indictments
That Heney and Langdon were pres
ent during the taking of much of the
testimony, which fact was prejudicial
to the defendants. During the consid-
Grafton of the evidence Heney in the
presence of the jury vilified and
abused the defendants and demanded
that they be indicted.
That Heney gave prejudicial advice
and threatened witnesses with indict-
ment for perjury and fourteen years
imprisonment
"rhere was nothing at all in this but
an attorneys fee of $4,000 paid to A.
Ruef, an attorney of this court" said
Ach, referring to the charges of extor-
tion. Judge Dunno took the matter
under advisement until tomorrow.

VIII Take Weeks to
Reach Them
BY Associated Press.


BAKERSFIELD, Cal, Dec. 10.-The
six miners who were entombed at the
Edison Electric company works in the
Kern river canyon late Friday morning
at 7 o'clock by the cavein of the shaft
in which they were working were alive
at IL o'clock this morning, 11S hours
after the accident occurred.
An old miner, c. E.. Moore, came
down from the works late tonight and
states positively that at II o'clock this
morning the signals of the miners code
transferred over the steel rails of the
tramway leading down the shaft were
exchanged between the helpless miners
and party of rescuers working from
the top of the shaft.
Saving the lives of the unfortunates
If they arenot dead already, is looked
upon as next to impossible. Three res
cue parties have been at work since
Friday and little or no progress has
been made. One party, working thoruglI
the shaft from the bottom, passed
through one cavein bulwark, but were
unable to pass the second beyond which
the miners are imprisoned.
Blasting this bulwark and allowing
men and rock to pass down the shaft
and pipe to the power house below is
the only means of rescue.
Moore states that despite the plead
ing of the miners and workmen the Edi-
son company will not issue> orders to
blast.
Moore believes that the entombed
miners have broken one of the water
pipes running down the shaft and are
keeping alive by drinking water.

IMPERIAL, Cal, Dec 10.-The news
of the break in the Colorado river
proved a serious blow to the spirits of
the people, who have yet no plans for
the future. There will be no Interrupt
ton in irrigation here, excepting pos
sibly for a year or two even though
the break is not closed.
The entire river has worked back into
it's channel to the Salton sea, cutting
behind the dam. The strength of the
dam Is shown by the fact that it is
uninjured, the water working through
the earth dikes that reach fer ten miles
on either side of 1t.
What is to be done to check the
stream is matter that is before the
Southern Pacific officials. The present
work, which has proved inefficient, was
the result of two years experimental
work and the expendit re of thousands
of dollars.
Unless the channel Is turned before
next summer, when the floods from
melting SHOWS come, it is practically
certain that the waters will have worn
such deep channel for themselves
that the irrigating supply the I'm
perial and Coachelia valleys will be
cut off, leaving the farmers there with
out any means of carrying on their
work. IN such an event Yuma would
be left high and dry and it is possible
that the waters would eventually un-
dermine the Laguna dam.
General Manager Cory left last night
for Tucson TO confer with President
Epes Randolph of the California De-
velopment company as to the next
steps to be taken.
The people can only await the action
of the Southern Pacific or possibly the
government.
There is no farming land near the
Saton sea, so there is no fear of inun-
dation of any farms for several years,
but unless immediate action is taken
to effect a closure 1t is only a question
of time when all of the Imperial and
Coachella valleys viii be inundated
