saloon at Sixth and Limestone streets.
was fined $50 and costs in the police
court on the charge Of having the lid
or at his place Sunday. He was also
summoned to appear before the mayor
TO show cause why his license should
not be Cancelled.
The mayor has received a number Of
letters charging that Carmichael has
been selling liquor regularly on Sunday
and after closing hours. One letter
from a woman states that Carmichael
has been in the habit of scooping out
the interior Of a LOAF OF bread. leaving
only the outside crust, and of inserting
a bottle Of whisky in the hollow, so
that the purchaser could carry the
liquor away in the guise OF an innocent
loaf OF bread from the grocery. The
writer alleged that one Sunday night
she had TO eat the crust Of such a
loaf OF bread for her supper. as her
husband had spent all the money he
had for the bottle of whisky which the
crust concealed.

dead and six others injured is the net
result of an attempted assault made

WORK OF WRECKERS
Southern Pacific Flyer Ditched
Near Los Angeles, Cal.
ONE DEAD; A SCORE INJURED

Rails Are Disconnected on TrestIe,
Several Coaches PIunging Over the
Embankment, Being Badly Crushed
and splintered by the Fall.
Los Angeles, CAL, May 23.-Train
No. 20, one of the Southern Pacific
coast line flyers, was wrecked at West
Glendale, ten miles north of here, at
1880 a. m. The wreck was the de-
liberate work of train wreckers. One
man was killed and twenty-five per-
sons injured, three probably fatally.
In accomplishing the wreck Of the
train devilish ingenuity had been
exercised. At point on a trestle
over the Arroyo Seco the fshplates
and bolts of two connecting rails on
the southbound track had been re-
moved and in the apertures whence
the bolts were taken strands of heavy
wire were fastened at the end of each
rail. From the appearance of the
track after the wreck it was evident
that some person hidden on hill
side close to the trestle had pulled the
wire as the train approached and
spread the rails outward toward the
edge Of the trestle.
The train, three hours late, was
travelling at rate of between thirty
five and forty miles an hour. The
engine wheels were first to leave the
rails and the engine took to the ties,
travelling nearly 100 yards before it
was brought to a standstill. The ten
der, the diner, two Pullmans, the buff
fet, mail and baggage car plunged
over the edge of the trestle, falling
distance Of sixteen feet The buffet
car, the express car and one of the
Pullmans were turned completely up
side down and the others landed on
their sides. All were badly crushed
and splintered.
The man killed was T. J. Mcmahon
Of Santa Barbara, member of the
Electrical Workers. union. He is be-
Heved to have been stealing a ride on
the baggage car and had as his COM
panion Frank Naylor, fifteen-year-
old boy from Santa Barbara, who was
fatally injured.
At the Southern Pacific general
Offices in this city notices were post
ed Offering $4,000 for the arrest and
conviction Of the person or persons
responsible for the wreck. The off,
Gals announced that they had no clue
whatever.

CONTROL PUBLIC UTILITIES
Administration Measure Through New
York Legislature.


York Legislature.
Albany, N. Y, May 23.-The senate
has passed the so-called public utili-
ties bill by vote Of Alto 6, after the
defeat of several amendments pro-
posed by Democratic senators. A lit
tie later the assembly voted concur
renee in the measure.
This bill is one Of Governor Hughes
measures. It creates commissions,
the members Of which shall be ap-
pointed by the governor, with power
to supervise and regulate the opera,
ton of public corporations, both in
the city and the state of New York,
with separate bodies for each. In the
city of New York the commission SUI
percedes the old rapid transit com
mission, appointment to which was by
the mayor, and for the reason that in
this respect it touches the New York
city government it must, before it be-
comes a law, be submitted for the
mayors approval. It is anticipated
that Mayor Mcclellan will withhold
his approval, but as only a majority
vote is required to pass a measure
over the mayors veto and as it is in
all respects an administration bill it
cannot fail to become law.

From a. room in the Leahy hotel he
Saw two negro soldiers come up the

that it appeared to come from the
balcony of Company B barracks. He
claimed to have distinctly seen the

group Of five or six soldiers returning
down the alley to the garrison. The
witness told also Of seeing company
of soldiers patrol the town after the
shooting and as they were halted In

He said Mrs. Leahy also heard the
remark. On several important points
