 A resolution to that end was pre- sented by Mir. Landis of Indiana, but. so strong was the sentiment against 1t that 1t was tabled.

ROAD GETS PERMISSION TO
HAUL LOAD OF SAND FREE
Railway Commissioners Make Special
Dispensaton to Help Play
grounds Project

PASADENA July 16.-By a special
dispensation of * the state board OF
railroad commissioners, the Salt Lake
railway is permitted to haul carload
of sand from the beach to Pasadena
free of charge General Manager Wells
sent q letter to Mayor Farley this
morning, stating the sand would come
ar once. 1t will be used in the Car
melita playground.
1t is believed that this establishes
a precedent in the California railroad
business.
When the playground was established
Mayor Farley asked the railway Off
cials to deliver a load of sand free, and
they replied that they would be glad
to do so, but We're forbidden by law
to haul any freight without regular
payment of the customary tariff.
Because of the philanthropic nature Of
the act, however, the two parties de
cided TO write to the railway commits
sioners and see if that body would not
sanction a technical violation Of the
rules in a good cause. 1t appears that
the commissioners have taken a broad
view of the matter.

Never before in the history of the ISL

ON HOSPITAL COT, WRITES
LONG ACCOUNT OF ACCIDENT

PASADENA, July 16.-From his cot
at the Pasadena hospital James H.
Gaut has sent out one of the most
peculiar documents ever seen in Pasa-
dena. 1t is not often that a man in
jured in an accident chooses to write
up an account of it, for the benefit of
his friends, but this is what Mr.. Gaut
has done.
Mr.. Gaut was run down by a Santa
Fe train last week, and nearly lost his
life. It appears now however, that
he will recover with no more serious
permanent injury than the loss of a
hand. The statement which he issued
this afternoon is more than 500 words,
and his friends are marVeling that he
should have vitality to dictate the
document.
After thanking his friends for their
kindness and sOlicitude during the
time following the accident, Mr.. Gaut
tells in detail the story Of how his
shoe caught between the rails, and the
Overland engine rushed onto him. He
does not add any details of Importance
that were not already known.
Probably the most novel feature of
this document Is the urgent entreaty
expressed that after he leaves the hos
pital, and is able to see his friends
once more, no one shall harrow his
mind by asking questions about the
catastrophe. He says that the docu-
ment he has drawn up gives all the
essential facts, and that he will es-
TEEN it a great kindness if his friends
do not alude to the matter further
when they see him again.

SPLIT
OVER APPOINTMENT
LINCOLN-R00SEVELT WING IS
AGITATED
Alleged That Chairman of County
Central Committee Recommended
Man for Supervisor Without
Consulting Fellow Members
Especial to The Herald

SANTA ANA, July 16.-The Lincoln
Roosevelt wing of the local Republican
party is agitated over the allegation
that Chairman J. w. Morrison of the
Republican county central committee
has arrogated to himself the powers
of the whole committee by indorslng
the application of I. b. Talbert, stall
wart Republican of Huntington Beach,
for the place on the board of super
visors to be made vacant next month
by the resignation of G. w. Moore,
supervisor for the Second district.
When Moore sentsin his resignation
it was announced that Governor Gillett
would appoint a man to fill the va
cancy who might be acceptable to the
Republican county central committee,
the understanding being that the sew
eral candidates for the place should
come before the committee with their
Endorsements and that then and there
a selection of the fittest should be
made and the governor notified of the
choice. OF the seven candidates for the
place not one but Talbert was even
accorded the boon of an interview with
Chairman Morrison to enable him to
discuss the subject, and it has just
been announced that Chairman Morri-
son took time by the forelock and met
the governor at Santa Barbara this
week and presented Talberts claims
to the place in such convincing manner
that the state executive promised to
make the appointment, one of the ar
guments used, it is alleged, being that
the county central committee had in
dorsed Talbert.
Jacob Walton. one of the aspirants
for the place, who has sixteen feet of
petition from his constituents praying
the county central committee to give
him the place. has stated that he will

CITRUS FRUIT SHIPMENTS
HEAVIER THAN LAST YEAR
Expected Record of 1909 Will Exceed
That of 1908 by So
Cars

ONTARIO, July 16.-The report of the
Ontario -Cucamonga Fruit exchange
shows that the shipments of oranges
and lemons this season have been much
heavier than last year According 10
the statement of Manager Hamilton,
there have been sent out up to date
some 1850 cars of fruit. OF these, 451
cars were lemons and 240S cars oranges.
The daily average for the last thirty
days has been twelve cars. The total
shipments for the last season, ending
August 81, were 2700 cars, showing
that with six weeks of this season re-
naming, still the shipments have al
ready exceeded those of that season
by 100 cars There remain, according
to Manager Hamilton, some 400 cars
still to be handled.
From this it appears that the season
will exceed last year by $50 cars. The
prices for navels and sweets are rather
low, but there remain but few cars of
those varieties. Valencias are holding
up well. The Quail brand of lemons is
selling at about Sc per box.
