KuIEDON PUBLIC HIGHWAY.
Saturday Night John Pender-
grass Slew HeZekiah Harrison.

Hezekiah Harrison was shot and
fatally wounded by John Pender-
grass Saturday nightabout s o'clock.
The encounter took place on the
public road three miles east of town.
The wounded man was Immediately
brought to DR. Brockington's drug
store and given medical attention,
but he died about II o'clock. Coro-
ner Gamble held an inquest Sunday
morning and the jury rendered a
verdict to the effect that the de-
ceased came to his death from gun
shot wounds at the hands of John
PendergraS.
1t seems that Pendergrass had
been abusing and maltreating Har-
rison's sister, and Saturday night
Harrison and several other negroes
met Pendergrass on the road In a
wagon and Harrison told Pender-
grass that the trouble had to stop
Pendergrass asked Harrison if he
wanted to settle it and Harrison
told him to get out of the wagon
and they would settle it. Pender-
grass then rose up in the wagon
and fired at Harrison with single
barreled shotgun loaded with small
shot, the load taking effect in the
right arm near the shoulder Pen
dergrass then skipped" but it is
reported that he was seen in town
later on Saturday.
Up to this time Pendergrass is
still at large, but the Sheriff expects
to have him in custody before many
days have elapsed.
Both the negroes are well known
about town. The young negro, Har-
rison, was quiet and industrious,
while Pendergrass, the slayer, is said
to be a worthless sort of character

Mr. Ellerbe said that Editor Wolfe
had erred, for the schedule had
been reduced from So to Sl.25. He
had contended for the 81 rate. He
argued that the cost had not been
increased, and that it did not affect
lumber consumers in the State, but
helps the manufacturers of his dis
tri,t. Mr. Ellerbe produced some
thing over hundred wires and let
ters requesting him to vote as he
did, these coming from all classes of
men in all occupations, and from all
over his district.
Regarding his action, and as to
whether or not it was Democratic,
Mr. Ellerbe said:
'"When several thousand men had
requested me to vote against free
lumber | asked Mr. Clark, the Dem
ocratic minority leader, to call a
caucus on the matter, that We might
vote together. When majority of
the Democratic members decided
not to have a caucus, | went to MIR
Clark and asked him what | must
do. quote from letter from
him: 1 told you that did not in
tend to make a vote on any partic-
ular schedule a party matter, that
what | wanted was united vote on
the whole bill, that it was every
mans business to represent his own
constituents, and that you had a
perfect right to vote as your con-
stituents wanted you to vote. You

ciples and policies

Representatives in the arms of the

Mr. Ellerbe concluded amid loud
cheers and applause.
The court house was crowded, the
audience varying in number from
200 to 400. The statement made at
the outset by Chairman Stoll that
Williamsburg audiences were noted
for their love of fair play and the
promise that each candidate should
have a respectful hearing, was more
than justified by the perfect order
that prevailed and the impartial be-
stowal of applause upon every can
didate who spoke. Only in one or
two instances did one candidate re-
ceive more applause than his COM
petitors. The heat was oppressive
and to sit for nearly five hours in
the crowded hall showed patience
and intensity of interest that sets at
naught the oft-repeated dictum that
these campaign meetings have play
ed out and the people care no long,
er to hear the aspirants for Office
discuss the issues. The candidates
all expressed great appreciation for
the generous greeting given them
and every one went away doubtless
feeling that he had helped his chanc-
es for election by being here Friday.

Supervisor John l.. Herget put in a
word for the gay life of San Francisco
yesterday, when the ordinance prohib-
ors and also restricting certain prac-
tees of merry makers came up for
final passage before the board.
Supervisors Kelly and Mclaughlin
and other members of the board joined
with the sprightly Herget in extolling
the joy of living in carnival times. and
Supervisor Cutten contributed to the
gayety of the discussion by telling of
the delights of the carnivals at Nice.
II had the good fortune to take part
in the carnival there" he said, and in
my party were several ladies of un-
certain age who were repeatedly
squeezed, and seemed rather to en-
joy the experience"
That won a laugh all around--a loud

with confetti the of feather busters,

articles Of like character, or the blowing
of horns sounding of any noise producing

Kelly sprung an aphorism which might

he said, ARE those who have the fewest

Mclaughlin was more plaintive. You

OREGON DECLARED VALID
Federal Court UpFloIds Consti-
tutionaIity of State Board

PORTLAND, Feb. 21.-Judge Charles
r. Wolverton in the United States
district court here today upheld the
constiturtonality of the Oregon state
railway commission, created by the
legislature OF 1907 and decided that
4 has the power TO fix freight rates
between different points in Oregon on
shipments originating within this
state
The court declined TO express an
opinion as to whether eastern goods
reshipped in their original packages
from one oregon point to another came
within the jurisdiction of the state
commission.
The decision was rendered in the
case of the Oregon railroad and navi-
cation company against the Oregon
state railway commission, the CON-
pany alleging that the commission was
unconstitutional on the ground that il
attempted to exercise legislative, judi
cial and executive powers; that no
adequate appeal from its rulings is
provided, and that the company stood
in danger OF being deprived of it's prop
erty without due process of law.

ONE BID MADE FOR
RAIL WAY FRANCHISE
A. j. Pom Tenders Proposal for
Short Route United Railroads
Wants in Cough Street

a. j. Pom, a Fillmore street property
owner and a prominent member of the
Fillmore Street improvement associa-
ton, was the only bidder for the street
railroad franchise over Cough street
between McAllister and Market, before
the board of supervisors yesterday.
Pon's bid was the minimum charter
requirement, of certain percentage of
the earnings of the road.
G. w. Eastin, acting president of
the Public Ownership association, and
Frank 3. Crooks and E. P E. Troy of
the association were in the board rooms
and Eastin asked that the decision on
the matter be postponed until business
men In the Mission had held a meeting
to discuss the question. The board
postponed final action on the bid, which
will be further considered tomorrow at
l O'Clock by the public utilities COM
m1ttee OF the board. Pom had no OBJ
lection to offer.
Pons bid was accompanied by a
$4,000 bond. He offered the city per
cent of the gross receipts for the first
five years, per cent for the ensuing
10 years. and per cent for the last
10 years of the life of the franchise,
which is to run for % years.
The United Railroads desires to di-
vert its Fillmore street traffic for the
Mission over McAllister, Cough and out
Valencia street, thereby avoiding the
Fillmore street hill between Fulton and
Waller streets. But 1t is against the
principles of the monopoly to bid for
any franchises under the charter. Pom

the nine coal carrying railroads enter

road to New York, government counsel
said, the Temple iron company, a small
concern with limitless charter in
Pennsylvania, was purchased by the
anthracite coal carrying roads, they
taking stock in proportion to the guam
titv of coal handled by them. The Tenn

largest of the independent mines, and
the proposed railroad to tidewater was
never built. This act, McReynolds said.
was one step in the alleged scheme to
stif1e interstate commerce in the coal
trade.
He also told of the acquisition by the
Reading company, holding concern of
the Reading railway and of the Read

acquisition by the Reading company of
