SACRAMENTO LEAVES
RANKS OF OUTLAWRY
Management Decides to Accept Oppor-
tunity to Enter Organized Ball and
Will Become Member of Pa
cific Coast League
Especial to The HERALD

SACRAMENTO, Dec. 31.-Sacramen-
to during the coming season will be a
member of the Pacific Coast league,
which includes Los Angeles, Oakland,
San Francisco and Portland baseball
teams. Manager Charles Graham OF
the Sacramento team last night at a
meeting in San Francisco refused to
vote for outlawry. w. G. Curtin, who
is the other manager Of the Sacramen-
to team, stated today that Sacramento
was willing to stand with the State
league teams for organized baseball,
but could not follow them into out
lawry; so when the other teams re-
fused to go in for organization, the
only thing left to do was to accept the
offer of a franchise for a Sacramento
team in the Coast league.
Curtain says he and Graham will
have a strong team to enter, and be-
Iieves Sacramento will gain much by
it's membership. There are several
players among the State league teams
that the Sacramento team will pick,
the players being only too glad to get
back into organization. Cy Moreing is
trying to put a State league team in
Sacramento. He has made overtures
to Brown and Doyle of the Sacramento
team to organize and make necessary
arrangements, but they state that they
turned the proposition down.

TO MEET WEDNESDAY
AND NAME OFFICERS
Chamber of Commerce Will Also App
point Sixteen Chairmen of Work.
ing Committees, Making
Twenty Officials

Members Of the chamber of COM
merce will meet in annual session
Wednesday, January 6, at p. m, for
the purpose of nominating officers for
the coming year.
A president, two vice presidents, a
treasurer and sixteen chairmen of the
working committees will be named to
succeed the present retiring officers.
These twenty officials will be members
of the board Of directors of the cham
Der Of commerce for 1909.
The chamber, which probably has
done more for this part Of the state
than any other organization, owes it's
success during past years to the COM
potency and energy Of the men chosen
to fill the various executive Offices
By a system of promotion tacitly agreed
on, members Of the organization who
have served in various capacities on
committees are gradually shifted to
vice presidents and then become presi-
dents. This method of choosing officers
results in securing first-class and ex-
perienced men for leadership.
1t is practically known just what
men will be chosen, and the meeting
of January will be more for the pur-
pose of discussing policies and hearing
remarks from nominees for Office than
for the purpose announced.
The final election will be held Janu-
airy 10, when the members may vote
any time from a. m to p. m.

YOUNG WOMAN SHOWS
REMARKABLE NERVE
"NeWsboys' Friend" FulfiIIs Sinuin1
Engagement, Though SUFFERING
from Two Broken Tendons
in Her Ankle

Lillian May Lancaster, a well known
musician, known in Chicago as the
"Newsboys' Friend" displayed remark
able fortitude last night when she in
sisted on filling her evening engage
ment at a downtown cafe, although sIlf-
fering from two broken tendons in her
ankle.
Miss Lancaster was alighting from a
street car last night when she slipped
and fell to the pavement. She was as
sisted to arise. She was unable to
stand and it was found that two ten
dons in her ankle were broken.
The police ambulance was summoned
to take the singer to the receiving hos
pital, but she refused to go, declaring
she must fill her engagement. A car
riage was summoned and she was taken
to the cafe. She arrived in time to
take her place in the orchestra.
Miss Lancaster is well known IN
musical circles throughout the country.
Ten years ago her younger brother,
while selling papers on the streets of
Chicago, was killed in an accident. She
took a great interest in movements for
the betterment of the conditions of
newsboys and founded a memorial
library in Chicago.

NEW SCHEDULEOF
RATES in FORCE
NEW YEAR BRINGS 0DIOUS
RISE OF CHARGES
East Expected to CurtaiI Materially
Its Consumption of California
Products, Increase Being
Largely ProhibitIVe

Though there is decided discrepancy
between the estimates made by Presi-
dent Ripley Of the Santa Fe railroad
and those made by the shippers of Cali
fornia regarding the aggregate amount
that will be realized by the railroads
entering California under the new
freight schedule one fact remains un-
disputed, and that is that the rate is
in effect, despite all the protests of the
shippers.
This is the day that the much-dis-
cussed increase in freight rates goes
into effect. According to the railroad
officials it will result in an increased
revenue to them of only $500, 900, but
the shippers, both eastern and western,
assert with much positiveness that it
means fully four times this amount, or
$10,000000, which will go into the rail
road treasures.
Protest after protest has been made
by organized bodies all over the east
and west, representing every branch
of industry, but the railroads have held
stubbornly to their original plans
While the agitation was at it's height
the seriousness of the proposed increase
was emphasized by the decision of the
federal courts to the effect that the
provisions of the interstate commerce
act, which were intended to suspend
changes IN freight rates until hearings
might be held, were ineffective, in that
the interstate commerce commission
had not been granted such far-reaching
powers as had been contemplated
Thereupon the much-exploited rate reg
ulation law instantly became a dead
letter.
Throughout California scores of mass
meetings and special meetings of COM
mercial and industrial bodies have been
held, and emphatic protests have been
drafted and filed with the railroads and
the government. The increases range
from 10 to % cents a hundred pounds,
and fall more heavily on eastbound
shipments, thus affecting eastern con-
sumers, than they do on Westbound
shipments. The effect of the increase.
however, it is claimed, will be greatly
to curtail the consumption of California
products, especially canned goods, dried
fruits walnuts, beans and vegeta bles,
olives, wool, nursery products, mustard
seed. hides, leather and some manufac-
tured goods. Even 10 cents q, hundred
pounds means $40 a car, which is
claimed to be almost prohibitive to
eastern buyers.
A strong effort will be made at the
coming session of congress to amend
the interstate commerce act so as to
give the commission power to regulate
these alleged prohibitive rates and pre-
vent their adoption in the future save
where the commission has investigated
and approved their reasonableness.

AUDITOR Is MADE HAPPY
BY RELEASE OF MORTGAGE

"This is certainly a happy ending
for the old year." said c.. H. Bridges,
auditor for the Title Insurance and
Trust company, as he rushed into the
office of the county recorder yesterday.
Mr.. Bridges presented for record the
release of a mortgage, given by him
as the result of his confidence in the
integrity of Robert A. Wurtz, for
mer employee Of the trust company,
now serving a seven-year sentence at
Folsom for forgery.
Early in July Bridges affixed his in
itials to two checks presented for pay
ment by Wurtz and aggregatino $4,000.
The checks were caShed and when it
was discovered they were forgeries Mr..
Bridges was called upon to make good
the loss. He did so by mortgaging
his home for the amount required.
Yesterday a meeting of the board of
directors was held and a release of
the mortgage was ordered given to the
auditor.

ranks has come, and it now seems as
sured that Los Angeles will profit
thereby to the extent of realizing upon
the dream of continuous baseball. Sac
ramento has broken away from the
outlaw ranks and will be a member Of
the Coast league next year. This will
necessitate a six-team league, and Los
Angeles will get the sixth club. This
settles the outlaw question in so far as
Los Angeles interests are concerned.
It not only takes away Sacramento
from them, but it also fills the extra
space in Los Angeles so that the out
laws cannot expand in this direction.
1t settles the vexatious problem Of
continuous baseball for Los Angeles in
most satisfactory manner. Little is
known yet as to plans for organizing
the other Los Angeles club, but that
it will have ample capital and will fur
nish a strong team is assured. The
members of the national baseball COM
mission will cooperate with the Coast
league in making the two new clubs u
successful enterprise, and the financial
success of the Coast league is assured.
If the outlaws are looking for trouble
they can get all they want of it now.
