The Assistant Clerk.


The question of appointing an assist.
ant clerk of the Senate came up for
consideration at the afternoon session
and the only result was that Clerk
Savidge is temporarily, at least, reliev.
ed of his nominal power to appoint an
assistant. Senator Brown of Hawaii
brought the matter up again by NOV.
ing that the amended rule adopted Wed.
nesday, which gave the appointive
power to Savidge instead of by Senate
vote, be rescinded. Senator Knudsen
called attention to Rule No. "a which
states specifically enough that one day 3
| notice must be given before consider.
ing revision of Senate rule.
President Smith thought it necessary
to make an explanation for the benefit
/ OF Brown. He said that the rule re.
quiring days notice was designed to
prevent hasty revision of the procedure
! of the Senate and that it would be nee
essary to abide by it. Senator Brown
was instructed to put in writing his
notice of taking up the revision of
the amended rule. A number of Sen
ators have men that they would like
to see in the place and it is probable
that the old rule of appointment of an
assistant clerk by ballot will become

W[STBOUND RATES
MAY BE REDUCED
Dockets of Transcontinental
Freight Bureau Indicate
Lower Tariffs

According to advance reports, at the
next meeting of the transcontinental
freight bureau. efforts will be made to
reduce generally the freight rates on
products from the east to the west.
Already a large number of propositions
have been docketed, and these indicate
a general desire on the part of the car
riers to reduce tariffs.
Application has been filed with the
bureau, for consideration at the next
meeting, by mustard seed dealers to
reduce the present rate of IS cents per
100 pounds to-the old rate of as cents.
1t is generally believed by raiIroadmen
that this is the only way to restore the
mustard seed shipments to the tonnage
basis which existed prior to January 1,
1909, as the increase from IS cents TO
SIS cents was apparently just enough to
practically absorb the profit and induce
an almost total stoppage of shipments.
There has also been docketed for
consideration a proposition to reduce
by or 10 cents the rate on chairs In
the white unfinished from eastern de-
fined territories and a proposition to
advance the minimum weight on iron
pipe, carloads, from 10000 to $4,000
pounds.
Another proposition is to break UP
the grouping on stamped ware west
bound and to make separate groups,
one of which would cover agate, enamel
and granite ware; second one,
stamped ware; a third one, tinware,
and a fourth one. galvanized ware,
each IN straight carloads.

satisfactory in every respect, and it
will be but short time until they
will be ready for action along the water

The David Scannell was forced to
exhibit all it's capabilities yesterday.
while the Dennis L. Sullivan, as it is In

order to allow the water to run of

The sister ships are so provided that
they will turn almost in their own
tracks, for they must dodge in and out

their career of usefulness begins. In

Delegates Hear Papers Dealing
With Vital Importance of
Defeating Prohibition

The delegates 10 the Western hotel

plunged deeper into the work before
them in their business session yester-
day morning at the Fairmont hotel and
number Of papers dealing with pro-
hibition and system of protection
against bad check ien and deadbeats
were read and debated.
NJ c. Dickinson Of Portland dis
cussed prohibition as it affects hotels,
pointing out the fact that a desperate
fight had been made to prevent Port
land from going dry by the hotelmen
of that city. He considered the growth
of the prohibition movement a financial
menace 10 the hotel business and he
warned the delegates that they must
be aleIt TO protect their interests. He
advised, however, that the hotelmen
make the night alone without afi1liauon
with the liquor or brewing interests.
TAKES INDEPENDENT STAND
John Mitchell Of the Hollenbeck hotel,
Los Angeles. developed this latter idea.
advising eignifed attitude and hold
ing that ii was not for hotelmen 10 as

bition fight but rather should they Of
fer to support the movement with Ger
tain proper restrictions
Kirk Harris of the Grand and Hamlin
hotels opened the principal work of the
convention with the reading of a paper
dealing with the proposed establish
nlent of protective bureau. pointing
out that while state laws DO not prop
erly protect hotel interests, hotelmen
themselves are partly responsible for
many OF the losses they suffer from
bad check men and deadbeats.
He recommended the remodeling of
the state laws, the maintenance of a
detective bureau, standing together for
a limit on check cashing and loans and
a blacklist for deadbeats and crooks.

POLICEMAN KILLED
BY INGLESIDE CAR
Hammersley MacMurray, One of
Best Known Men on Force,
Loses His Life

Hammersley MacMurray, perhaps the
cisco, was killed by an Ingleside street
car at Eighteenth and Mission streets
yesterday morning. The. policeman
stepped in front of the car from be-
hind an outbound vehicle, and died at
St Luke'S hospital a few minutes later.
MacMurray is known to thousands
because for nine years he acted as
officer for the Society for the Proven
ton of Cruelty to Children. He took
a great interest in the little tads that
came under his charge, and it was.
indeed. at his own request that he
was given the detail.
DIES on DUTY
The patrolman was on special duty
yesterday serving summons for a jury.
He stood in Mission street between
Eighteenth and Nineteenth for a mo-
ment talking with Policeman j. A.
Belyea, and then started to cross to
the east side of the street in order to
serve summons on S. Hoffman of
2247 Mission street. An outbound car
stopped him for a moment and then
he hurried around it, looking over
his venire list, and stepped to the east
car track just in time to be struck by
Ingleside car 1895, in. charge of Motor
man Alexander Gray. Attorney John
T. Sheehan of the United Railroads, a
passenger on the car, jumped off and
assisted Policeman Belyea and the car
crew to lift MacMurray on an out
bound car. DR.. George Wrinkle and
his staff did their best at st. Luke's,
but fracture of the skull brought
death within 20 minutes of the acct
dent.
NO ONE TO BLAME
The tragedy seems purely an acct
dent and, though Gray was arrested
on a charge of manslaughter, it is al
most certain that the coroner's jury
will exonerate him of blame. Wit
nesses state that the car was not trav-
cling at a high rate of speed.
| MacMurray was born in French Cor
raj, Yuba county, AZ years ago. He
was appointed TO the police force No
vember "a, 1890. He leaves a wife
and six minor children at the family
| residence, 227 Flood avenue Sunny
side. DR.. NJ. MacMurray is a brother
of the decedent, and his father James
