FIGHT RAILROAD BILLS.
Congressman Have Already Begun
Attacks on Taft Measures.

congressman rave ALREADY Begun
Attacks on Taft Measures.
Chicago Tribune: The tight on
President Taft's recommendations for
broadening the provisiC ne OF railroad
regulation laws has started and it
promises to be a hot one before the
forthcomine session of congress gets
well under way.
A proposal to establish an interstate
commerce court which shall have turis
diction of disputes over regulation Of
rates, freight classifications ard other
phases of railroad operation, has
aroused strong opposition among mem
bers of congress. Many leaders assert
that 1t has no chance OF becoming q
law.
Almost all the presidents sugges-
tons upon this subject have called
forth criticism from various sections of
the legislative bod but the proposition
OF a commerce court has started pro-
tests pretty much all along the line.
Some of the most influential leaders
in the senate and In the house are
unalterably opposed to the plan on the
ground that multiplication OF courts
for special purposes would tend to de-
stroy the principle of equal justice for
all classes OF citizens
Congressman James IT. Mann of Chi
cago, new chairman of the house com
mittee on Interstate and foreign COM
merce, is one of the opposition leaders.
He finds himself able to subscribe pref
ty generally to all OF the presidents
suggestions with the sole exception OF
the commerce court.

EXPECT EVANGELIST
TO EXPOSE GRAFTERS
Crowds Flock to 5uIgin's Meetings in
Hope That Rottenness in High
Places Will Be Laid
Bare
Especial to The Herald

SAN PEDRO, June 3.-Interest in
the Bulgin revival meetings continues
undated, large crowds attending the
afternoon and evening meetings which
are being held in the mammoth tent
at the corner of Seventh and Center
streets.
Last evening the evangelist delivered
his Chautauqua sermon on THE Bible.
The subject for this evening is Hell.
1t is intimated that the fearless speak
er, during the course of his meetings,
which are to continue until July 4, will
expose many of the social and political
corruptions which have been partially
aired from time to time by an anony-
nous paper here called the Home
Guard. Thus far no startling reyela-
lions have been made, and many who
have attended the meetings in the
hope of hearing some sensational COM
ments on local conditions have eX-
pressed themselves as disappointed
The work of the evangelist elsewhere,
however, leads many to believe that
ere the meetings close many conditions
here which have been criticised, not
only by outsiders, but by hosts of local
citizens, will come in for a severe fay
ing by the sensational evangelist, who
has been instrumental in bringing
many boodlers and grafters to justice
in other cities.

3 WITHDRAW FROM
SCHOOL BOARD RACE
REGULARS HOLD MEETING AND
AGREE ON TICKET
Socialists, Independent and Party
States Are in Field for Elec-
ton Which VIII Be
Held Today
Especial to The Herald

PASADENA, June 3.-Probably for
has awakened to a real interest in II
subordinate election like that of the
members of the board of education.
The Socialists started it. When the
leaders of the regulars got to looking
over the ground they found the Social
lists already there with three candi-
dates-B. F. Ordway, Mrs. Helen Fir
man and o. T. Nichols-and assured of
500 votes.
1t has not been customary for the
voters to turn out to any alarming
extent for a school board election. This
time it is going to be different, if the
leaders can do anything. That is one
reason for the meeting which was held
last night. They wanted to eliminate
some of the seven candidates VINO were
on either the regular slate or running
on independent tickets at the wishes or
their friends.
Three of the candidates they succeed
ed in getting out of the race with
pledges to stand by the ticket which
was picked, composed of D. J. Macpher-
son. Clarence II. Oldlllb6l IAN eNlAA " -
liam K. Knight The three who with
drew were James w. NORM, DR.. Frank
S. Thornburg and c. N. Stanley. DR..
w. A. Cund-- is still In the fight But
another and more important reason was
the desire of the regulars to instill a
little enthusiasm into the rank and file.
In this they were not quite so success
full.
There were number of Socialists
oil a n
questions. The chairman, H. w. Ma
gee Joined the "In Bad" club when he
announced that the citizens of Pasa-
dena had nominated seven candidates
for the office and the Socialists three.
A truculent Socialist demanded to know
If the chairman did not consider the
Socialists citizens of the city and was
with difficulty appeased.
James w. NORM almost started a
discussion when he asked that the
meeting take UP the question of the
married teachers in the public schools
and obtain the opinion of those present
as to the advisability of retaining them
lfr-office, or, as is planned by the pres
ent board, of ousting them in favor of
Younger teachers. There was an awed
hush. This subject is not supposed
to be discussed, save from behind a
hand in a whisper to ones dearest
friend, ana II LOOK away lHe plCal II
of the meeting to have it Haunted in
the very face of the public.
Chairman Magee sidetracked the
question very skillfully and there was
no discussion. The meeting selected
the ticket it was supposed to select.
Children in carriages rode through
the streets of the city today with horns
and banners bearing the Socialist slo-
gan of Free Text Books" All day
1uorlrarc urged the voters
to vote early. Tonight the Socialists
have a monster mass meeting in the
open in North Fair oaks avenue,
across the street from the city hall
The election comes tomorrow. 1t will
be held in the Wilson school and the
polls will be open from o'clock in the
morning until in the evening.

SUNSET COMPANY OFFERS TO
PAY PORTION OF BACK TAXES

PASADENA, June 3-The Sunset
Telephone company made its first adj
vance in the negotiations which must
be concluded in the twenty days grant
ed by the courts today in the form of
letter to City Attorney j. Perry
Wood which. while that official declines
to disclose its contents at the present
time, is understood to proffer certain
sum of l oney in exchange for the back
taxes claimed by the city to be due.
City Attorney Wood is not satisfied
with the sum offered, and the offer
will probably be rejected. Mr.. Wood
has insisted that every step of the ne
gotiations which are to nil the next
fifteen days shall be put in writing.
He wants to be able to show the peo-
pie when the time comes just what was
accomplished and what was not with
out danger of contradiction.
The writings, he believes, will show
the city exactly the attitude taken by
the company, also whether or not the
company is acting in good faith in this
matter. A partial report of the matter
as it stands will be made at the next
meeting of the city council, which Is
set for Tuesday of next week. If de-
velopments should warrant such action,
however, the mayor would not hesitate
to order a special meeting.

Mrs. Grace Pillar was plaintiff in the
action and S. l.. Pillar the defendant
Both the children complained that
they had been punished severely by
