A good deal of comment has been
made during the week regarding the
proposed new city ordinance relative
to peddlefs license.
It is proposed to put q license Of
$50 a year ON peddle-s of all classes.
As enecting non-residents no one is
particularly concerned and II it bar
red them out entirely IT would not
harm any body very much.
But many people think 1t unjust to
be too harsh on residents OF South
Canon, Lincoln Park and East Canon.
As written the ordinance does not
prevent a vegetable grower from mar
keting what he grows himself. But
II while doing this he finds It neces-
sary to NIL up on some supplies,
vegetables, fruits and other things
from his neighbors' farms he is sub
ject to the license or a fine.
Few of the vegetable peddlers mar
ket only their own product Nearly
ali buy from their neighbors and
make a market for many products of
the farm. -.-.
For such the license of $50 a year
seems exorbitant
II 1t is desired to put them under
the Inspection of the Food Inspector
why not license fruit and vegetable
peddler the same as a grocer. $3.50 a
year.
The home vegetable peddlers reside
here, pay taxes here, spends his money
here and and he holds Ii entitled to

SAVED BY CONDUCTOR
FROM AWFUL DEATH
Slips and Falls Beneath Fender While
Trying to Board car-Passengers
Shaken Up and Traffic
Delayed

C. S. Kadow conductor of car No. 905 on
the Temple street line, by his rare presence OF
mind saved a we'll dressed man. who refused
TO give his name, from being ground to death
beneath the wheels at First and Broadway
shortly after Q o'clock last night.
The car was. outbound. Kadow had pulled
the chain switch and signaled the motorman
to go ahead. Just as the front trucks passed
over the switch man forward to catch
the front end, of the car 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
jerlxed the man from his dangerous position.
Tho wheels missed him by narrow margin
The switch, springing back to its normal
position, allowed the rear end to roll on the
straight track, west First Street. This
tilted the car at a dangerous angle and shook
up more than score of passengers. The mo-
torman threw the emergency brakes and
stopped the car with suddenness that gave
the passengers another shock.
The man who came near being killed was
placed aboard the car. He ssustained several
small cuts and a number of slight bruises.
He refused to give his name. The only thing
that seemed to worry him was the losing of
bottle of beer, which was broken when he fell
under the car
Traffic, on the line delayed fifteen min
utes while the car was being worked back
on its proper track.

HEAD OF SCHOOL
BOARD EXPELLED
MAYOR OF SAN FRANCISCO
GUSTS T. F. BOYLE
Alleged Reasons Are Stated for Re-
moval of President of Educa-
tionaI 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 federation 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 f.educationS with consorting
with and submitting himself to the ad-
vice of, former Mayor Schmitz while
holding a 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 eyicted
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
department at a salary of
1850 a MONTH where. no such appoint
ment was necessary. and the money
needed elsewhere"

HIRES DETECTIVE
TO FIND SLAYER
MISS GOULD WILL SOLVE MUIR,
DER MYSTERY
Police Claim Student Slain in Base
ment Fired Shot Himself, but
Heiress Believes He Told
the Truth

NEW YORK. Dec 29.-Miss Helen
Gould is determined the mystery OF
the Staying of Van Dwight Sheldon
the New York university student who
was found fatally shot in the base
ment of Prof. c. H. Shows home IN
this city, shall not go unsolved. She
has engaged detectives to trace the
slayer, maintaining stoutly, as re-
suit of her inquiries into the case, that
Sheldon came to his death by some
one who wished to kill her or Prfes-
sor Snow.
Sheldon was Miss Gould's protege.
He stated just before his death, when
taken to the receiving hospital, that
he had been shot by a man whom he
found in the basement and who de-
manded to know if Miss Gould was in
the house.
The police maintain Sheldon COM
mitted suicide, despite his deathbed
statement.
Miss Gould and Professor and Mrs.
Snow are close friends. The young
student lived at the Snow home and
it is said the expense of his education
was betrayed by Miss Gould.

BOY STRUCK BY CAR
SHOWS GREAT NERVE
IN AIDING RESCUERS

NEWARK, n. j.. Dec. 29.-"Gee whlz,
guess you never before saw kid hit
by car" remarked James Mcvicker
last night after he had been run down
and a leg cut on by a trolley car.
Displaying wonderful nerve the boy
directed the movements of the motor
man and conductor as he lay pinned
under the car.
Despite the seriousness OF his injuries
he sIgnaled when to move the car up,
and It was through the little fellows
advice that he was at last extricated.
when carried to a nearby drug store,
pending the arrival OF an ambulance, he
did not lose consciousness and kept up
his nerve even during the ride to the
hospital.
Amputation of the leg was necessary,
but the surgeons say the boys pluck

RUFF SENTENCED
TO IA YEARS IN
STATES PRISON
BOSS U00DLER GETS MAXI,
MUM PENALTY
is ,uNMovED AS COURT IMPOSES
JUDGMENT
All Motions for New Trial overruled.
Notice of Appeal FiIed-case
Exceptionally Sensa-
tional

C AN FRANCISCO, Dec. 29.-Four-
II teen years in the penitentiary,
~ the maximum sentence provided
for bribery of a supervisor, was the
penalty meted out tonight to Abraham
Ruef, who for four years directed the
political destinies of San Francisco as
adviser of the administration of
Eugene e. Schmiltz former mayor of
the city.
Judgment was pronounced at the
close of a day devoted to legal battle
wherein the defense sought to intro
duce many reasons for new trial.
When Judge William p. Lawlor had
denied this and others involving delay
the defendant arose at the court S
command and stood unmoved through
the recital of judgment.
There was no demonstration on the
part of the spectators during the pro-
ceedings in the court room nor later
when Ruef, having entered the prison
van in the custody of a deputy sheriff,
started in the dusk on his long ride to
the county Jail.
Before the adjournment of court
notice of appeal had been filed on be-
half of the defendant and the court
had signed a writ of probable cause,
which will act as a stay of execution
in the case.
In a trial that was prolonged through
a period of nearly four months, Ruef
was convicted on December 10 of brib-
ing John j. Furey. former supervisor,
to favor the award of an overhead
franchise to the United Railroads.
This was one of ia indictments re-
turned against Ruef by the oliver
grand jury which heard the confess
sious of sixteen supervisors, who adj
mitted the acceptance of bribes in sew
eral matters involving public service
corporations.
One of the many incidents that ten
ded to make the trial of Ruef remark
able was the shooting of Assistant
District Attorney Francis ]. Heney by
Morris Haas, an eX-convict, whose past
record was exposed by the prosecutor
after the would-be slayer had been ac-
cepted as a member of the jury
Haas subsequently committed suicide |
in the county Jail

.YAQUIS AGREE
TO END FIGHT
LONG WAR IN SONORA, MEXICO,
4 is OVER
Great Rejoicing Follows Final settIe-
ment, at Request of Redskins,
of Long Standing
Feuds

NOGALES, Ariz., Dec. 29.-The Of
fetal paper of the state of Sonora gives
particulars of the formal declaration OF
peace between the Yaqui chiefs and
the governor.
The conference took place at Baca-
tete, in the Yaqui country, December
"a. At 8 o'clock Monday three Yaqui
captains appeared and requested per-
mission to bring 166 of their armed fol-
lowers to hold a conference with state
representatives. Granted the confer
ence, they took their places in the tent
of Commander Luis Barron of the
regular army.
Three old Yaquis acted as spokesmen.
All those who were at war took off
their sandals and hats, and crossing
their arms over their breasts appeared
before the assembled officials and made
their requests.
The first request was a guarantee that
their lives and liberty would be pro-
tected and a pardon extended for past
offenses, which was granted by tine
governor under the condition that their
submission be complete.
The next request was for the return
to their people of the Yaquis reported
to Yucatan, to which the governor re-
piled this would depend on the conduct
of those now surrendering.
The Yaquis requested to retain their
arms, to which the governor replied
that captains, a certain number of men
acting as guards, all to be i'm the ser
vice and pay Of the state, would be
allowed to retain arms.
Several other requests relating to
their religious feasts were readily
granted by the governor
The OLD chiefs then returned to their
and in a loud voice asked
them if they agreed to all of the terms,
TO which they replied, "Egui, egui,"
meaning Eyes"
The chiefs then thanked Commander
Barron and Capt Gotta for their inter

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

SANTA BARBARA, Dec 29,-Presi'
dent E. p. Ripley of the Santa Fe, who
is Wintering in Santa Barbara, today
gave out the following signed statement
on the proposed freight rate advances
i'm California;: "Al this controversy
about rates is foolish. Somebody seems
to have estimated that the advance
proposed 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. I do not
think anybody has made any figures on
the subject, but / will venture the as
sertion that the advances proposed will
not amount, all told, to a quarter of
that sum.
"The present rates between the Pa
cific 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 and as
discriminating against them.
"Our only defense has been that they
were made necessary by water compe-
tition; that there was 8 little profit in
them, although such rates, applied to
all the business of the roads, would
speedily bankrupt them.
''The shippers of this coast are a spe-
cially favored class; they get abnormal
ly low rates because of their location;
they would not have a leg to stand on
in a contest before any tribunal either
for lower rates or to prevent an adj
vance; they have been spoiledfby rail-
road service that in It's efforts to build
up and develop the resources of the
country has rendered a service out of
all proportion to the amount paid for
il. and unequaled in cheapness on the
face of the globe.
'If there is any people in the uni
verse who should have no complaints
to make as to freight rates 1t is the
people of this coast.
1T has been frequently suggested
that the railroads would be more con-
sistent. and at the same time make
as much. money. If they would raise the
coast rates to those paid by the in
terror points, even If by so doing the
water routes should acquire a larger
share of the tonnage.
II do not share this opinion. but l
would certainly favor an equalization
in favor of the interior, If the coast
cities are going to raise objections to
these advances.
1T have been discussing the subject, |
as you observe, from the standpoint of
the shippers interests rather than as
a. matter Of equity to the railroad. AS
to 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, have advanced enor-
9'What reason exists for insisting that
Of all industries the railroad nose
should be always held to the CONNER
cial or political grindstone? What mer
chant or manufacturer would be con-
tent with as little margin of profit as
the railroads now get?" i
