RESTRAINING Or
DER MODIFIED
And Railroad Commission Wins
First Victory. Cases Argued
November

This afternoon in the United States
Circuit court by stipulation be-
tween Attorney General Stoddard and
Chairman Bartine, representing the
Railroad Commission and the attorn-
eys for the various railroads that
have brought suit for the annulment
of the Railroad Commission law. all
of said suits were submitted upon the
evidence on file and will be argued
upon the main issues. November
eleventh.
Before said submission, upon the
insistance OF the attorneys for the
state the restraining orders hereto
lied that the Commission is left
with a free hand to do everyt =
required by the law with the sole eX-
ception Of enforcing the freight
rates fixed by the law
This is a distinct and positive gain
for the state. The consent of the
railroad attorneys to modify the re-
straining order as above indicated
may be taken to mean that they do
not hope to overthrow the law as a
whole. but will concentrate their
efforts upon the annulment simply OF
the rates therein fixed. Should they
succeed in doing this the Commits
sion it is believed. would still have
the power to fix reasonable rates.
The submission OF the cases in
this way will greatly cXpediate mat

New YORK CITY FACES CRICIS
ASSESSOR
NOT GUILTY
Of CIalt is the Verdict
of State Auditor
Rolf

RENO, October 21-Not guilty.
That is the verdict rendered by State
Auditor ~ w. Rolf after investigating
the alledegd graft in the Office of AS
SCISSOR House Of White Pine County.
Auditor Rolf states that no serious
discrepancies We're discovered by him
with the exception of the affairs of
Assessor House of White Pine county
and that in this case in his opinion,
1T was more a case Of oversight
caused by the fact that Assessor
House had more business than he
was capable of handling in q proper
manner.
Assessor House OF White Pine
county is also sheriff Of the same
county and consequently has two
mems duties TO perform. The
County Commissioners of White
Pine County refused to allow House
but one deputy and consequently
the vast volumn Of business devolv-
ing upon the Assessors Office could
not be satisfactorily adjusted.
After considerable argument BY
Auditor Rolf the County Commission
ers consented TO put special man
on the work, with the result that in
the neighborhood Of s2Oo, 900 worth
OF assessments have been added to
the tax roll and there are about $780,
900 still in sight.
Auditor Rolf stated that after
thoroughly Investigating the affair he

Married Don't
Know Why

SACRAMENTO October G1.-Cnas.
Edward Ruffner, whose suit for the
annulment of his marriage was called
Friday, is in a predicament. He
knows, according to his testimony,
that he married Edith Lester in Day
ton. Nev., last July, but he does not
remember why. He claims that a
constable and an uncle of the girl
took him to Dayton while he was in
toxicated and told him if he did not
marry the girl they would do some
thing-he could not remember just
what-and he consented, upon the
promise Of the woman that she
would get divorce as soon as pos
siblc.
The county clerk had lost his Ii
cense book. and a license was type
written, and Ruffner supposed he was
married all right He had never
wronged the girl, he says. and since
the marriage he has not seen her,
and is tired of being a married bach
elor. An effort will be made to To-
cate somebody in Nevada who knows
something of the case.

French and English Women as They

See Parisienne cross q muddy
street. She advances tiptoe to the
edge of the pavement, poises like a
bird ready for a flight, deftly raises
her dress more than enough to show
her embroidered skirt, the dainty hose
and elegant bottines, and without more
delay she trips across, toe and heel
barely touching and the mud refusing
to cling to the fairy feet that hardly
leave an impression on it. Landed on
the other side, she gives her fine feath-
ers little shake into place and passes
on with shoes that look as if just put
on at that moment.
Watch an Englishwoman immediate
ly afterward. She reaches the curb
stone, comes to a dead standstill and
stolidly contemplates the muddy road.
Finally she selects route. Then,
very cautiously, she lifts her dress,
making sure that the tops of her
shoes are under cover; then, slowly
advancing, she puts her right foot out
Plump 1t goes, the water oozing over

Limiting Saloons.

The board of supervisors at an ad
journed meeting held last saturday,
passed a very important ordinance
regarding the saloon business, which
ordinance appears at length else
where. 1t is universally admitted
that there are now, and have been for
many years in Amador county, far too
many retail liquor places. How to
reduce the number has been the pro-
blem up to the county managers.
The policy that has characterized the
local government right along has
been practically an encouragement OF
this business. Two or three years
ago an effort was made by ordinance
to discourage it by requiring bonds,
and petitions signed by neighbors,
and so forth. All this has proved
abortive; merely a harrassment of
those engaged in saloonkeeping. 1t
has accomplished no good purpose
whatever. Now the board has taken
far more decisive step. That body
has declared that the number OF
saloons in Amador county shall not
exceed 80 at any one time. OF course
this applies to the territory outside
of the city limits of jackson. Jack
son is not affected in any manner by
the ordinance. 1t has been found
that there are just SO saloons running
at the present time. The board
simply fixes that numbe as the maxi
mum. This is exclusive of those
permits cancelled by the board Ion
Saturday last. Those permits merely
represented Iapsed licenses. No man
now doing business in retailing
liquors has been affected in any way
by the limitation imposed. 1t simply
means that no new licenses will be
granted at least not until one or more
of those now in the business drops
out; and it is optional with the board
in such cases to keep the number to
the maximum or not as they deem
best. So far as we can learn, the in
tention is to reduce materially below
the maximum. Maybe the board has
taken a wise step to accomplish q
desirable reform. 10 US, however.
the plan seems overloaded with
trouble, as the future will speedily
demonstrate. We believe the more
rational plan CT regulating this bust.
ness is by high license. We have toe
many saloons because the license oil
$50 per year is too low. 1t amounts
to 16 cents per pay-a trivial matter
both from the standpoint of the
license payer, and the county treas.
ury. We do not believe in any
policy that tends to build up or create
favored class, or that necessarily
involves discrimination in favor OF
one or against another. The expert
ment of limiting saloons along the
lines of the new ordinance will be
watched with interest.

Deepest Gold Mine.

Australia now possesses the deepest
gold mine IN the world. Within the
last few weeks the shafts of the New
Chum Company at Bendigo, Victoria,
have been sunk to the depth of over
1900 feet, and the quartz there tapped
has been sampled and crushed, with
the result that yield of gold equal
to an ounce per ton has been obtain
ed. The operations in the mine have
been tested by government officials IN
view of the fact that never before in
the worlds history has gold been
obtained from so low depth as three
quarters of a mile. -Exchanpe.
