told the commissioner that there was
a shortage for a large amount for
which he was responsible.

TAKES NO ACTION ON
RAILWAY FRANCHISES

WILMINGTON, Dec. Capt. William
Banning Chief Engineer George e. Pillsbury
of the Pacific Electric, and Attorney Frank
Karr, representing both the Southern Pacific
and the Pacific Electric railroads, appeared
before the board Of trustees here this even
ing and urged action on the application for
the fifty-year franchises for double track rail-
reads which were requested by the Southern
Pacific, from their tracks near the intersec-
tion Of and Water streets, and by the Pa
cific Electric from their own line down d
street to the Mormon Island tract Of 1903 acres,
mostly submerged at present, owned by Capt.
William Banning.
These applications were presented in place
of the application made some weeks ago by
William Banning as the trustees wished TO
deal directly with the railroad companies.
The railroad representatives and the trustees
examined the maps which accompanied the
ordinances, as drawn by the corporation at
torneys, and Informally discussed the fran
ohises.
Mr. Karr said the railroad agreed to begin
work within six months and complete it with
In year, but cleaimed some unusual
clauses are in the ordinance, such as a pro-
vision that no cars shall stand on the tracks,
that the railroad will handle cars of all roads
at reasonable rates. that charges will not be
higher than those at other points around Will
mington bay, and that the channel Will not
be obstructed until the new channel of the
Bannings, which will be 100 feet wide and Is
feet deep, is completed
President Brennan asked II the railroads
would be willing to insert a clause allowing
the city to buy the roads at any time by pay
ing the cost of same. Mr. Karr emphatically
stated no such proposition would be
sidered. Capt. Banning stated his object
to get the railroads Into his tract and would
no: consider selling the railroads to the city.
Another objection was interposed by Trus-
tee OPP relative to getting SO-foot strip
from Mrs, Mary Banning for an extension Of
d street.
Mr.. Karr said If the city granted these fran
chises 1t will betweeB $4,000 and 500, 600
in dredging and filling, which, with the high
ola Of terminal that the RanninRS
to make at Mormon island, would compensate
the city.
The board requested further time in which
to consider the matter and while Mr.. Kari
urged the ordinance should be placed its
first reading the board did not see it that way
and so no action was taken tonight

INCREASE OF RATES WILL
INJURY CELERY BUSINESS

SANTA ANA, Dec. 1.-THE proposed
increase in freight rates from 10 to 10
cents per hundred pounds to points
east of Chicago is going to affect the
celery business in this section, and at
least will have the effect of curtailing
the area annually devoted to the grow
ing of that vegetable.
The proposed increase means about
cents per dozen punches of celery.
which will cut growers receipts to 10
cents a dozen, according to prices
quoted this season. Should the freight
rate be increased from the coast to
Chicago it probably would put many
celery growers entirely, out of bust
ness.

New Revenue Cutter

After several years and almost number
less delays, the new revenue cutter
Androscoggin, being built for work along
the Maine coast, with headquarters at
Portland, and supposed to take the place
of the old Woodbury., seems nearly ready
to be turned over to the government. 1t
is expected that the craft will arrive at
Portland in May.
The Androscoggin is an entirely new
type of revenue cutter, and is designed
especially for work along Maine coast.
She is made of wood on account of the
great number of lodges throughout her
district, which would soon end the career
of any steel vessel which happened to get
on them. 1t is possible to repair wooden
vessel much easier than a steel one.
She also has peculiar sloring stem
which is intended for ice breaking, a
large amount Of which has to be done
along the Maine coast. With this bow it
will be possible to force her bow up onto a
field of ice and break it by sheer weight.
This is after the method used by ice
breaking vessels.
The Androscoggin is a single screw
wooden steamer of 1870 tons dispIace-
ment, with length over all of 210 feet.
Her speed will be about fourteen knots.

Medical Expert Testimony

Medical Expert Testimony.
Chief-Justice Emery suggests that
where medical questions are involved
in trial it might be well for the court
to appoint one or more reputable ply
sicians as medical examiners to report
their findings and opinions. They then
might be called as witnesses by either
party.
A medical expert would thus
speak not as a partisan but as
an official paid from the public treas
ury, as stenographers are. Physicians
would not be under the least obliga-
ton to either side. Trials would
thus be shortened; the poor and the
rich would be put on an equality
as to medical testimony. Now the
longer the purse, the more confusing
the medical testimony is likely to
be, as was seen in the last Thaw
trial.
The last legislature refused to enac'
law such as Judge Emery suggests
but he hopes that lawyers and the
next legislature will fail into line He
also hopes that physicians will CO.
operate with his plan. Such legisla-
ton has had good results in othe,
states.
