LONG BEACH, May 20.--In a glass
case at police headquarters there re-
poses in state collection of dry bones
upon which Patrolman Louis Auburn of
West Long Beach stumbled late last
night as he walked through lonely
patch of tall grass in the rear of the
Brighton Beach hotel. The bones were
lying fiat in the grass. AS there was no
ouicksand in the vicinity Patrolman
Auburn had no trouble in picking up
the bones and taking them to his home
It was at first thought that the skele-
ton was that of a large man. Several
members of the police department as
sert that the bones are those of a
sheep. Others are as positive that they
were once clad with flesh of canine.
The bones found were portions of a
skull, spine and leg. They doubtless
had been lying on the beach for many
years.

COMM TTEE BALKs
ON PAVING CLAUSE
IN FRANCHISE
TELLS sAUeIE THAT GREATER
CONCESSIONS MUST BE GIVEN
If HIS PROPOSITION is TO BE
CONSIDERED FAvoRAeLY.

"If you don't do something pretty
soon, the city government is going to
have to back down the same way on
the street railway proposition that II
did on the ferry question"
So said Attorney William f. Baubie
to the franchise committee OF the
council Monday. He was urging the
aldermen to give consideration to the
Detroit Traction Co.'S franchise appli.
cation.
"You are going TO wait and wait.
and when the time comes, you VIII De
up against It." he told the. aldermen.
"You Will have to take what the ID.
u. r. will give you. II you are not
ready to discuss fair competition now,
how can you expect anyone TO come
in them
Baubie and the franchise committee
got together. but they did not agree.
His proposition calls Cor the payment
of half the cost OF pavement aid paw
ing repair between the tracks by the
city. AT present the city pays the en-
tire cost of keeping up the pavement
between the tracks on the three-cent
lines and the burden has become oner-
GUS.
"This is better than what you have"
said Baubie.
1T is not good enough" said Aid.
Owen.
I'VE want straight three-cent fares
with no strings of any kind" declared
Aid. Weibel, who was in an argument
tative mood.
Aid. HARPER also opposed the paw
ing clause.
The aldermen began to mentally fig
ure up what half the cost OF paving on
q hundred miles of track would
amount to, exclusive of the repairs,
end saw that IL meant big annual
charge for some years 10 come. There
was also objection TO the length o;
the franchise. 80 years, but Baubie cx-
planned that the lines would make no
money for number Of years and in
fact would run at loss for at least
five years.
After the entire franchise had been
read and some portion gone over sew
eral times, Chairman Watson suggest
ed to Baubie that he consult the car
italists back of his company and see
what concessions they would make.
This was agreed to and Baubie an
nounced that he would leave at once
for st. Louis and Chicago.
Baubie appeared to be willing to
consider concessions in regard to paw
Ing, but absolutely refused to make
rate OF fare less than eight tickets
for a quarter with cash fare OF five
cents. The reason for this Is that mil
lions OF fares each year are from Wis
itors to the city who would pay FIVE
cents. while Detroiters would carry
three-cent tickets.
Another meeting will be held next
Monday.
