$72,275 ,e54,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-when the
river and harbor bill is reported to
the House about the middle of the
month, 1t will carry appropriations ex-
ceeding $72,275,954, which was the
highwater mark for such expenditures,
reached in 1896. Part of this will be
cash and part authorizations for fit.
ture work.
The various subcommittee of the
House Committee on Rivers and Har.
bors have been engaged during the
Christmas recess in considerating tho
proposed river and harbor bill, AMI
Chairman Burton is now occupied in
considering their recommendations,
1t is his opinion that the bill will be
reported to the House by the middle
of January. but so far no summary of
its contents is possible. Among the
more important items which It Is al.
most sure to carry are appropriations
of about $4,000, 900 each for a new
500 lock and for alternating chan
nels in the Detroit river. 1t Is also
quite certain that a somewhat SINH
lar sum will be secured for the deep.
ening of the harbor at Boston, and
that liberal supplies for the Delaware
and Mississippi rivers will be voted.
There is an effort IN foot to increase
the annual appropriation for the Mis-.
sissippi to $4,000, 900, and it may
succeed.

SAUNER SEEKS RELIEF
THROUGH HABEAS CORPUS
Claims Action Against Him for Mis-
treatment OF His Daughter Is
Based on Unconstitu-
tional Law


Judge c. C. McComas, acting head of
the district attorneys office, yesterday
evening fled his brief in anSwer to the
application for writ of habeas corpus
filed yesterday by Attorney Davey G..
Taylor. on behalf of Harry Saurer, the
man accused of improper treatment of his
little stepdaughter, Ethel Sauner, a mere
child.
The writ is applied for on the ground
that section 2SS of the penal code under
which the suit was brought, Is not in
conformity with article 4, section "a, of
the constitution of the state Of California,
which relates to crimes against children.
Attorney McComas spent greater por-
tion of the day in research upon the
subject and came to the conclusion, which
he expressed in his written brief to Judge
Smith, that the two sections in question
were in entire conformity and cited a
number of cases to prove his point. The
matter will be brought up before Judge
Smith today and he will consider the
two briefs presented and give his deci-
sion.

FOR A CLEAN CITY

ever a conscientious and deter
mined effort to place an American
city on an absolutely sanitary basis
is to be recorded. that effort has been
inaugurated in Los Angeles. Accord
ing to present plans the sum of $4,000
is to be expended monthly in this direc-
ton for an indefinite period. There is
no disposition on the part of the city
authorities to temporize. Thoroughness
will be the watchword.
The plan contemplates the division of
the city into nine sanitary wards. the
work in each to be in charge of COM
petent physician delegated to the task
by the Los Angeles Medical association.
Each of these physicians will appoint
two deputies to assist him. One of
these three men will visit every home
in the ward in which his duties lie. if
acticable-certainly if he find it neces-
sary to do $3.50 that no byway or
corner In which disease may breed will
be neglected Perfect sanitation of
every doubtful place of residence, nook
or alley In. the city is aimed at. Sun
light and fresh air-the greatest filth
destroyers, cleansing forces that are
obtainable without money and without
price-will be brought into requisition.
They will become, as nature intended
they should, the strong right arm Of the
human purifying agencies.
The project devised can hardly fail
successfully to work out If there be no
playing of politics" in the work. Let
us have clean and upright sanitary
corps to the end, working solely for the
public health. as well as thoroughly
purified city as the result of its labors.

IMMUTABLE LAW

t should be source of infinite
qualification to the people of Cali
4 fornia that the constitutionality of
the law providing for the punishment
railroads, their officers, agents and en-
ployes that grant rebates or other
financial or other concessions to favored
patrons can never be seriously ques-
toned,
Fortunately for the people, and most
unfortunately for the railroads and
their officers and employees, the law
making such discriminatory measures
crime, punishable by heavy fine and
imprisonment, is not a legislative enact
ment, subject to one Interpretation or
another by the courts of the state. 1t
is part of the state constitution and
as immutable, during the life of that
institution, as law of nature
The constitutional convention of 1879,
which framed the document afterward
ratified by the people at general cleo
tion, was called in response to an i'm
perative popular demand that certain
evil conditions which had become SO
notorious in California should be rem
dered impossible, under the law, there
after. For the first time in the history
of the state, so far as we are able to
learn, the people arose en- masse and
assumed the initiative in legislation,
so framing their organic law, in this one
respect at least, that legislatures might
not override the will of the people by
the passage of acts susceptible of Jug
Cling at the hands of the courts.
Section 21 of article 12 of the consti-
tuition expressly provides that "no dis
elimination in charges or facilities for
transportation shall be made by any
railroad or other transportation COM
pany between places or persons, or in
the facilities for the transportation OF
the same classes of freight or passen-
gers within this state, or coming from
or going to any other state" There
fore, so far as the state of California is
concerned, if the officials of the state
perform their sworn duties, it has little
need of the services of the Interstate
commerce commission or of any other
federal authority--though the commits
sion has performed an invaluable SER
vice to the state in making possible dis
closures which will render the punish
ment of railroad rebaters a compare
lively easy matter.
The state, it would appear from q
careful reading of this section Of the
constitution, may severely punish the
officers and responsible employees of a
railroad company not only for violation
of the law as applied to business trans
acted entirely within the borders of the
lstate. but also for Determinations af-

NO PULL" GOES HERE

A GENTLEMAN lately from WASH
"a ington, D. c., formerly employed
- in the work upon the Owens
river aqueduct under civil service regu-
lations, has lost his job because of his
alleged boasting that he possessed a
political pull that made his position
secure, and because, further, he is said
to have advised other employees that all
they needed to retain their several
places was the same sort of pull"
1t is hardly to be wondered at that
this man should have believed his posi-
tion to be impregnable. Washington,
the site of his former job, is likewise
the abiding place of the most success
full. and not infrequently the most
weather beaten, political pulls" known
to the history of this department Of
economics. There the term is ever in
the air. 1t is shouted from the house
tops, reverberating from the monu-
ment to the dome of the capitol, hitting
everything that appears in its path. 1t
is wonderful institution in Washing
ton. but it won't ''go' with the civil
service commission of Los Angeles,
with the board of public works nor with
the officials in charge Of the field work
on the aqueduct.
Just think of any man attempting to
intimidate William Mulholland or ]. B.
Lippincott by drawing political pull
on them!

Besides the great horde of pleasure

the railroads are bringing to us an un-
precedentedly large quota of colonists-

most part have burned their bridges
