TRAINS RUNNING
ON VALLEY LINE
Traffic with the North Resumed on
Regular Schedule, but Under
Handlcaps from Damage
by Storm

The Southern Pacific valley line to
San Francisco is again open. The San
Fernando tunnel has been cleared and
communication with San Francisco has
beer resumed Two trains passed
through the tunnel Friday night and
arrived in this city from San Fran
cisco yesterday morning. Yesterday
afternoon the regular schedule was re-
sumed on the valley line and the 4
o'clock train left for San Francisco.
No more Southern Pacific trains are
being sent north over the Santa Fe
lines.
The coast line of the Southern Pa
cific is still out of commission. The
cave-in at the Santa Margaerita tunnel
makes it difficult Tor the officials to
say when traffic on that line will be
resumed. Trains are, however, run
ming to Santa Barbara.
The Santa F'e is still having trouble
with high waters near Stockton, but
trains are running through. Hundreds
of laborers are rushing the repair work
on the tracks Of all the companies.
At Stockton conditions will not be
normal till Monday, and then only pro-
vided fair weather continues. Yester-
day a gale carried out more track
near that place.
No comforting hopes cheer the Salt
Lake officials. At present it seems
likely that the limited will not be re-
sumed before April 10, and in the event
of further storms the date will have
to be advanced considerably.

PR0DlGIOUS YAWN
DISL0CATES HIS JAW

''I will never yawn so emphatically
again." said j. r. Tilton, 1893 South Hill
street, at the receiving hospital yes
terday morning.
Tilton was taken to the hospital suf-
fering from dislocated jaw. Tilton
was awakened yesterday morning by
hearing the alarm clock ringing, but he
did not feel like getting out of bed.
Thinking he would become wide awake
if he let the sun in, he started toward
the window to raise the shade. On his
way to the window he stopped to
yawn. He opened his mouth as widely
as possible and stretched out his arms.
He felt better. Tilton dropped his
arms, but when he attempted to close
his mouth he was unable to do so.
Taking his chin in his hands the man
forced his jaws together, but his
mouth would not stay shut. He be-
came frightened and yelled for help.
The landlord of the place hurried to
the room and found Tilton marching
around the room, holding his hands
pressed against his chin.
The landlord telephoned to the re-
ceiving hospital and an ambulance was
sent for Tilton, who declared after his
jaw had been reduced, he would be
careful about yawning In the future.

CHARGES OF GRAFT
ARE NOT PROVED
SUPERVISORS CASE IS NEAR
ING AN END
But Little More Evidence to Be Taken
and the Prosecutor Expects to
Finish Early This
Week

with only q dozen more witnesses to
examine in the investigation Of alleged
graft among the county board of super
visors, Deputy District Attorney Paul
Mccormick is preparing to bring the
affair to a close early this week and
then decide whether or not the super
visors have been guilty of any infringe
ment of law.
Mccormick, under the direction of
Capt. Fredericks, has daily been putting
the road officers. oil men and others
through a grillng examination which
has disclosed practically nothing OF
graft.
Beginning with the day Of their birth,
Mccormick managed to dig each man S
history out Of him, and any detail
concerning the selling of oil to the
county was turned inside out before
being passed over.
Mccormick is nearly at the end Of
his long and tedious job. During the
past two weeks he has examined every
witness that could possibly be obtained.
If one witness testified in such manner
as to cause doubt. Mccormick often
subpoenaed as many as ten other men
In order to get down to the bottom OF
the evidence.
Now that the case is about to close
the evidence Is being carefully summed.
The investigation of the board of SUI
pervisors begun because of attacks
made upon that body by one of the
morning newspapers. 1t was alleged
that the oil was being watered and
that road overseers we're being paid for
work they did not do, and Supervisor
Pete Wilson's district was made to
bear the brunt of the attack until Will
son and the other members of the board
demanded that the district attorney
make an investigation of the affair.
The case had hardly been taken up be-
fore evidence began to develop to the
effect that a number of disgruntled oil
men had been causing the reports to be
spread about, and through an attorney
had carried alleged evidence before the
morning newspaper offering it for sale.
That evidence when thoroughly in
vestigated and carefully looked over
proved harmless to the interests of the
supervisors. Men were brought from
Calabasas and the extreme outskirts
of the county at a great expense in an
effort to prove certain portions of the
evidence, but they failed. The super
visors sat quietly by and said not a
word in answer to the charges, allowing
the witnesses to give all the evidence
within their power.
But nothing has come from it. Not
an allegation has been substantiated,
and the county officers will see the close
of the investigation early in the week,
when the few remaining witnesses are
put on the stand.
AS there has been no allegations sub
stantiated there can be but one verdict,
and that is the dropping of the case,
and Attorney Mccormick will probably
see the completion of his immense task
in time to take up some Of the more
arduous duties of prosecuting criminal
cases in department 1.

that the present storm will scarcely

twenty-four hours, following the north

occupied this section Friday. The storm

the questionable practices complained of, but of the stockholders and of those who buy what the corporation produces, and that the money goes into the public treas- ury, where 1t is not needed and where, un- der our singularly belated currency system it can be of no use to anybody. Corpora tions cannot be moralized Morals belong to individuals, and a law which strikes at corporate action itself will be entirely in effectual unless it reaches the individuals who originate that action and are truly responsible for 1t.
 speechmaking Enough; V. ork Now.
 great deal has been said about giving entire publicity to everything that corpora ttons do This is clearly out of the ques- ton, for many practical reasons: but 1t Is not out of the question that each corpora tion should so disclose the exact methods of its business that the officers of the law may know who Is responsible for each class of it's transactions. whether certain things that, it has done or authorized have been voted by it's Directors as a Board. or order ed by the Executive Committee of its Di- rectors, or originated by it's President or by its Treasurer or by some other officer whom it would be equally easy to name by title And 1t would be perfectly possible to base upon such self-analyese direct personal re- sponsibility for every transaction which transgresses the law. This would not dis. close the business of the corporation to its rivals, but would analyze its makeup for the benefit of the officers of the law
 T think a great deal of allowances should be made for the mistake which politicians and legislators have been making. They have been driven forward by public opinion. but they have not been assisted by the can did advice of business men and of the lawyers of the country who are most inti- mate with it's business. Nothing is so much needed as that the range of our consuita- tion in public affairs should be extended and that the sense of public duty and of the obligation to give public advice should be extended to those who now stand out side politics. and criticise those who are trying to conduct it. We have had enousss s of sneechmaking in general terms and ought now to get down to the rationally in order"
