satisfied with present prospects.
When asked why he did not go to
the Campti meeting, where several

New York, July i2-The break in
The heat wave promised by the
Watcher Bureau made itself felt
Wednesday, although the change
was gradual and little real comfort
was in prospect until Thursday. A
shower early in the day kept the
temperature from soaring as it has
done for several days as soon as the
sun rose. At 9 o'clock the official
thermometer registered so degrees,
with &c per cent Of humidity.
Following Tuesdays maximum of

crowded tenements Tuesday night as
it never has done before since the
hot spell began. Twenty deaths were
reported during the night after IL
O'Clock. The daths from the heat up
to midnight had numbered 25. This
brings the total deaths during the
ten days since the extreme heat first
visited New York up to 277 and beats

Traction Company Franchises.
(To The Caucasian

Go The Caucasian
Vote against granting the Traction
Company frachises.
Why?
Because they now have one million
dollars worth of franchises, given to
them by the city of Shreveport
without cost of one dollar.
Because they will not allow any
other street railway company to run
cars over their tracks.
Because it will ruin the thorough
fare going to the Fair grounds, as no
main road leading to the Fair
grounds should have a street rail-
way on il. They should have applied
for franchise on a street in Queens
borough north of the Texas road.
Because they have never lived up
to a single contract relative to fares
that they have entered into with the
city of Shreveport.
Because they have not provided
transfers.
Because they have not provided
for free car fare for the inmates of
charitable institutions and half fare
fer school children.
Because it will give them an out
let to the city limits on the Texas
road and the Fairfield road or on
Southern avenue, without agreeing
to let any other street railway use
their tracks
Because the only asset the city has
is it's franchises, and if these are
given away the citizens of Shreve-
port are taxed to replace the money
that should have been received from
sale of franchises.
Because the Traction Company of
Dallas offered to give four per cent
OF It's gross earnings for a franchise
near the Fair grounds, also offered
to give transfers, also offered to ride
inmates of charitable institutions.

SHREVEPORT MAN
Among Survivors of the Santa Rosa
Steamship Wreck.

| Los Angeles, Cal. July He. Lee
1of Shreveport, La, is one of twenty
Survivors of the steamer Santa
Rosa, wrecked off Point Argullo Fri
day morning, who are in consulta-
ton with attorneys in Los Angeles,
and it is estimated that damages
suits soon to be filed by them against
the. Pacific Coast Steamship Com
pany for personal injuries and loss
of property will aggregate nearly
two million dollars.
In addition to the damage suits the
steamship company will have to
face, are the claims made upon it
for baggage or cash or equivalent
by survivors now in the city and in
need Of funds. About twenty of these
passengers in Los Angeles met to-
day and organized a committee of
survivors of the Santa Rosa wreck,
OF which Mr.. Lee is a member, the
object being to secure immediate re-
lief from the steamship company.
The committee, Immediately after
getting together, issued a signed
statement as follows:
I'VE insist that some immediate
action be taken by the Pacific Coast
Steamship Company regarding the
recovery of our baggage or an i'm
mediate settlement for the loss of |
same, as well as for the loss of time |
and health sustained by the wreck"
The committee, members of which |
say they will represent all the sur
vlvors, was unanimous in the opin- /
ion that it was a clear night when
the Santa Rosa went on the rocks.

THE BOND ISSUE
A Misstatement Which Should Be
Corrected.

1t is a current report that the di-
|rectors of the State Fair Association
have received from the city the
value in money of the stock held by
them and that the directors have a
money interest in the Fair grounds
property.
This statement is absurd, but to
leave it unnoticed or uncontradicted
would be equivalent to an admission
of the truth of these reports.
The record official is proof that
the Fair grounds property is exclu-
sively the property of the city. The
only interest the directors of the as
sociation have in the Fair grounds
property is the reserved right to
hold annual fairs thereon.
The city is in no manner respon-
sible for any Indebtedness which
may may be created by the associa-
tion in holding the annual fairs, but
it is stipulated that the city shall
derive percentage of the annual
earnings of the Fair, which is to be
applied to improvements and to
beautifying the grounds.
AT this time the directors of the
association are concerned in the
proposed bond issue for the reason
that improvements are necessary,
for instance grand stand, pavilion,
rest room, administration building
and entrance. These improvements
are to be of concrete and other fire.
proof material.
The city through the Mayor and
Council is to have the disbursement
of the money for the improvements;
therefore there will be no risk in the
of such money for
any purpose except as specified in
the ordinance authorizing the issue
of bonds.
The association is composed of
about two hundred citizens, whose
money paid for stock will range to
$500 for some of them. This stock
has little market value as it is not |
expected to pay dividends, and may
De obtained at a very liberal dis
count by any one interested.
The directors of the State Fair
Association have given their money
md their time to the promotion of |
airs, from which they have derived
title personal profit and in the ma
ority of cases no profit whatever.
Should any one desire TO become
i director, this ambition can be at
aimed almost for the asking.
Let it be said that the only incen-
i've of the directors and of the
of the association lies
n the determination of making
hese annual fairs a success, and
when they appeal for the support of
he fair bond issue it is in no per-
onal interest but for the good and
he benefit of the whole community.
1t must rest with the people to de-
ermine if the betterment of the
Fair grounds is desirable and if the
airs are to be maintained on the
highest and most satisfactory plane.
On this issue the people are su-
Peme.

BIG DECISION IN LITTLE CASE.

BIG DECISION IN LITTLE CASE.
In very little case, the interstate
commerce commission has rendered
q big decision, says Success. A sub
urban electric railway from Wash
ington to Mount Vernon has been
ordered to reduce certain fares from
fifteen to ten cents. Not very excit-
ing, considering that there are only
nineteen miles OF the entire road
But the commission ordered the re-
auctions on the sole ground that It
found that the road should be valued
at only $4,000 per mile, while It
was capitalized at and earning re-
turns upon 100000 a mile. The
commission characterized this as OBJ
vious over-capitaIization holding
that the company was entitled to a
fair return on the actual investment
and no more, and 80 ordered a re.
viuction Of thirty-three per cent In
the rates.
The precedent 10 about as big asI
could possibly be established. With
it's present powers over rates, the
commission could adjust every freight
rate in the land according to that
reasoning; and there is reason to
believe that 1t is making a precedent
with some such move in mind.
The overcapitalization sponge new
or stood SO good chance Of a
squeeze, as since this decision was
rendered.
