TAKES THIRD RAIL
UNDER AMUSEMENT
Judge Hutton Will Carefully Consider
Right of Los Angees=Pacific
Company to Proceed
with Work

After hearing the argument of attorneys
for both sides. Judge Hutton, in depart
ment seven of the superior court, yester-
day took under advisement the application
of the Los Angeles-Pacific Railway COM
pany for an injunction restraining the city
from interfering with the work of laying
a third rail on South Hill street.
The plaintiffs allege that their increas-
ing business has made it imperative that
broader gauge should be used, and that
they have built sixty new cars adapted
to the broader gauge. 1t is further al
legged that the company's present fran
chise allows the use of the broader gauge.
Assistant City Attorney Louis Works
replied that the companys franchise was
for a street railway only, and that the
company had a right to lay a track of
broader gauge but not to three rails. If,
he said, the company will agree to remove
one of the rails, there will be no objection.

poets. AS now translated by Mr..
ORourke for English readers, it has an
extended introduction by him on the
significant quality of the book as the
last specimen to appear in print of the
prose genius of Hugo
The work in manuscript dates from
the exile in Guernsey when the genius
of Hugo underwent that we'll known
change which gave to his later writings
an unmistakable melancholy. Although
not an autobiography in the usual sense
of the word, the book has that quality
in it's relation to the mind of Hugo.
Hitherto unknown phases of his genius
are laid bare, and new light Is thrown
upon his literary processes.
Written in the solitude of his island
home, Hugo directed that the manu-
script should not be published until some
years after his death, his purpose ap-
parently being that he might, without
reserve, set forth his private conclu-
sions on literature, philosophy, art and
religion Hugo's heirs have withheld
the book for a still longer period in
order that they might be able to make
it the chief memorial at the celebration
of the centenary.
The first half of the volume is de-
voted to literature and art, while the
second gives the authors conviction as
to the human soul, mans destiny, and
God. In addition to this chapter there
have been put together at the end of
the volume series of striking aphor-
isms or detached thoughts, on all kinds
of subjects, including history, poll
tics, morality love and woman. Mr..
O'Rourke calls these fragments chips
of the mighty Workshop"

LONG BEACH, June 2S-Near the end
OF a session which did not close until
after midnightfi the Wilmington city
trustees last night granted the applica~
ton of the Wilmington Dock company for
fifty years lease and for dredging and
filing in privileges in Wilmington bay.
Many objections We're presented by
Judge Gibson and Frank karr, counsel
for the Bannings, Southern Pacific and
Pacific Electric interests. One of these
objections was that the council could not
grant the application because the city
treasurer, F. 5. Carey, is member of
the Wilmington Dock company.
The counct. held a recess, prevailed up
John Thomas, a liquor dealer, to the posi-
ton Thomas was sworn in and his bond
was approved, F.. S. Carey being one of
the two men to sign 1t. The other sigma
ture was that N. A. Breen.
Judge Gibson argued that the city coun-
Gil could not grant the lease, as 1t was
against the law, he said, for the city to
give away its harbor frontage In further
objection he said that the. permit sought
was based upon maps which had been
made up since the original application
was filed
Before the application was granted
three amendments We're made to it. They
were, in effect, that the street which It
IS proposed to deed to the city shall be &c
feet wide instead of 80; that if, for any
unable to make the Improvements plan
ned within, year the lease may be for
feited at the option of the city trustees;
that the canal shall extend 2000 feet fur
ther reaching the foot of Canal street
The. Wilmington company's lease is on
Wilmington bav tidelands and the fran
ch1se secured is to dredge and make a
I'll 1000 feet long on the east side of the
salt Lake and the Pacific Electric tracks.
OF this 1000 feet of frontage is given to

CHICAGO CHARTER REJECTED
Opponents of Measure Have Majority
Of Over $1,000.

Chicago, Sept. lS.-The new charter
authorized by the state Legislature at
its last session for the city OF Chicago
was rejected by the voters at the spe-
cial election by Il majority OF over
1900. Little more than half of the
registered vote was cast, final figures
showing 56,466 ballots for the charter
and l22,054 against it.. The total vote
polled vas ISL 500 out of a registered
vote OF 36l ,96S. The light vote was
to some extent to the fact that
the election was a special one and
that the granting OF time off for the
purpose OF voting was optional with
employers. and In the majority of
cases voters were obliged to go to the
polls before going to work or not at
all.
Mayor Busse issued the following
statement: 1T is evident from the re.
suit that a great majority of the peo-
pie Of Chicago either do not wan a
charter, or are n o sufficiently inter
ested in = new charter to go to the
polls and vote. The very light vote
polled and the majority against clearly
proves that. | think this indifference
on the part Of the public has been a
mistake. While the charter contained
some provisions that were disagree
able TO this, that or other special in
terest or element In the community,
yet the whole of it was a good thing
for Chicago. It's adoption would have
enabled the administration to do many
