days before the attempt and

to go ahead Just as the front trucks passed
over the switch man ran forward to catch
the front end of the He appeared TO be
Intoxicated, and just before the car reached
him slipped and fell under the fender
Kadow saw the man fall. He realized that
before he could shout TO the motorman to
stop the man would be ground to pieces.
Dropping the switch. he sprang forward and
ierked the man from his dangerous position.
The wheels missed him by a narrow margin.
The switch, springing back to its normal
position, allowed the end to roll on the
straight track, west First street. THIS

BOARD EXPELLED
MAYOR OF SAN FRANCISCO
GUSTS T. r. BOYLE
Alleged Reasons Are Stated for Re-
moval of President of Educa-
tonal Body in Letter
to Accused

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 29.-Presi-
dent Thomas F. Boyle of the board of
education was removed from Office this
afternoon by Mayor Taylor for con-
duct characterized by the latter as
bold, gross indiscretion and shameful
and mot to be borne with liberation by
the mayor of San Francisco"
In, a. letter to Boyle notifying him
that he has been removed from office,
Mayor Taylor charges the president of
the board of education with fconsorting
with and submitting himself to the ad-
vice of. former Mayor Schmitz while
holding place of trust over the school
children of the city.
Mayor Taylor stated in the letter that
Boyle recently had driven 'Schmitz
along Vas Ness avenue in a vehicle
owned by the city, thereby publicly. pro-
claiming or giving the impression that
he (Boyle) believed Schmitz innocent of
the charges against him, notwithstand-
ing that he was disgraced and evicted
from office.
The other count made against the
president of the board of education by
the mayor was the appointment by
Boyle of his brother to a position in the
educational department at a salary of
$3.50 a month"; where no such appoint
ment was necessary. and the money
needed elsewhere"

their requests.

tected and a pardon extended for past
offenses. which was granted by the
governor under the condition that their
submission be complete.

to their people of the Yaquis reported

SANTA FE PRESIDENT
REPLIES TO PROTEST
Says Present Schedule from Coast te
the East Is the Lowest in the
World-Defends In
crease

SANTA BARBARA, Dec. 29.-Pres1-
dent E. 2. Ripley of the Santa Fe, VINO
is wintering i'm Santa Barbara, To-Day
gave out the following signed statement
on the proposed freight rate advances
In California: "All this controversy
ahout rates is foolish Somebody seems
10 have estimated that the advance
nroposed will increase the revenues OF
the railroads by ten millions of dollars
and by Inference take that amount out
Of the shippers or the people OF the
west
"That is rank nonsense. do not
think anybody has made any figures on
fhe subject, but l will venture the as
sertion that the advances proposed VIII
not amount, all told, to quarter Oh
that sum.
..Tbe present rates between the Pa
ciflc coast and the east are the lowest
railroad rates in the world. They are
constantly complained of by shippers
in the interior as being too low ana as
discriminating against them.
aOur only defense has been that they
were made necessary by water compe-
fition: that there was q little proht IN
them. although such rates, applied to
all the business of the ROADS, Woulu
speedily bankrupt them.
.s,The shippers of this coast are a spe-
ciaIIv favored class; they get abnormal
~ low rates because of their location;
they would not have leg TO stand Oh
in a contest before any tribunal either
for lower rates or to prevent an ad-
vance: they have been spoiled by rail
road service that in its efforts to build
IN and develop the resources or the
country has rendered service out OF
ali proportion to the amount paid for
n and uneuualed in cheapness on the
face of the globe.
aIf there is any people in the uni
verse who should have no complaints
Ia make as to freight rates 1t is the
people of this coast.
ait has been frequently suggested
that the railroads would be more con-
sistent and at the same time make
- much money, If they would raise the
coast rates to those paid by the in
ferior points, even If by so doing the
rcater routes should acquire larger
share Of the tonnage.
ST do not share this opinion, Dut l
would certainly favor an equalization
in favor of the Interior II the coast
cities are going to raise objections to
these advances
II have been discussing the subject,
az Won observe, from the standpoint OF
fhe shippers' interests rather than as
= matter Of equity to the railroad. As
10 the latter, everybody knows that the
rates Of the railroads have remained
practically stationary while everything
else. and particularly those things that
the railroads buy, nave advanced ehor-
ssTThat reason exists for insisting that
81 ali Industries the railroad nose
should be always held to the CONNER
ciaI or political grindstone? what mer-
chant or manufacturer would be con-
tent with as little margin OF proht as
the railroads now getf'
