THAT'S THE END

have been advised by their attor-
legal and would decide nothing if
the vote were favorable to them .
Hence they will not stand for the |
expense, as asked by the council /
Another feature of the election
plan is the demand that if an cleo
ton is held that the entire fran
chise be submitted fairly and not
part of it as set forth in the reso-
luton adopted by the council. An
election, as planned would settle
nothing, as there would still re-
main a chance to haggle and delay
after the people had expressed
themselves, should the expression
be favorable to the admission of
the roads. The suggestion is made
that the franchise be worked out
complete with all other provisions
agreed upon-common-use clause,
grade separation, street vacations,
damages, etc.l and that then the
franchise be submitted, one fran
chise with terminal rates and the
other without. If the franchise is
|
the roads would be secure and
could go ahead with their work.
The chief objection to this plan
is the refusal of the railroads to
further treat for a franchise to be
granted on the basis of an cleo
ton, which they consider invalid.
They say that it is solely up to the
city council and that if they con-
tinue in their attitude they are
done. At least this is true of the
Milwaukee.
The North Coast may ask the
city council to grant it franchise
to Howard street, it's former ter
minal site, without terminal rates,
on the ground that it is purely
local corporation not engaged in in
terstate commerce.

ANA exposition in 1915 today are
preparing to appeal to Governor

of the fair, but realize that the state
must help the city in making the
exposition complete success.
A committee will be appointed
this afternoon to proceed to Wash
ington to lay before congress the
claims of San Francisco for a fed
eral appropriation. In the mean
time it has been suggested that
April 18th, the date Of the fourth
anniversary of the San Francisco

in which to call a special legislative
session to aid San Francisco.

HE'S STUNG

With four cans of cocoa, part of
batch of number of cans bought
by himself at the auction sale of
groceries left after the big fire at
Greenough Brothers grocery store
several weeks ago, J. Marcus, a
laboring man living at 1924 Mallon
avenue, appeared at police head
quarters this morning to complain.
All four of the cans had been
spoiled in the fire, and Marcus said
that all of the other cans, which he
had purchased at a cost of 50, were
even worse than those he had with
him, but he had thrown them away
before he thought of reporting the
case.
Pure Food Inspector Davies, who
happened to be in the city today,
made trip to the store room on
Main avenue, and after inspection
found that most Of the canned
goods were in good condition.

RUNAWAY WAGON:
JOY FOR SQUAWS

A runaway wagon loaded with
flour brought Joy to the hearts of
several Indian sQuaws yesterday
Afternoon.
The wagon, which was loaded
with 60 large sacks of flour and
which belonged to the Rapid Trans
fer company, was almost without
any freight when the big dray
horses stopped after a three-block
run. Only few sacks of flour
were left, about so being thrown off
between the railroad tracks and the
postoffice on Lincoln street. Sew
eral Indian squaws ran into the
street and picked up torn sacks,
toting them off to their respective
homes.
The loss to the company caused
by the runaway will exceed 5000.

NEW YORK, March 24.-"You
may be strong, but you can't knock
out the law" were the words of
Judge Mulqueen today when Jack
Johnson. the negro pugilist, came
before him to present new bond
for $4,000.
Johnson was asked by the court
concerning the whereabouts of Nor
man Pinder, the consumptive
negro, who is the complaining wit
ness against the big black.
"Ah'd lax real well fob toh know
dat mahself. yo' honoh," declared
Johnson. "Ah'd lax toh settle this
yere thing"
The court accepted the new bond
and set the case for hearing as soon
as the missing witnesses can be
found. Incidentally he was raked
by the court for not controlling his
temper under provOcatiOn.
