AMERICAN METHODS BEST.

American railway methods have re-
volutioni2ed the management Of the
government railways of the state of
Victoria, Australia, and have put them
upon a profitable basis. A report 20
the State Departmem, Washington,
from Consul John J Jewell, station
ed at Melbourne, says that an Ameri-
can railway man i'm seven years has
secured substantial profits to the
state, in place of the deficits that pre-.
viously existed.
Expenses were reduced, economies
effected in many ways, Transportation
conditions were made uniform, and
freight and passenger traffic increas-
ed. When an American took hold II
1908, as chairman of the railway COM
mission for the state of Victoria
there was a deficit of $9,304, 1892. Dur
ing the succeeding seven years a sur
plus of $4,55S,577 was piled up.

Thomas Safra was before Judge
Cooper this morning on a charge Of
having assaulted his wife. Attorney
Mcbride, who appeared for the de-
PENDANT, explained that his client was
not hitting at his wife, but she inter
cepted the blow meant for another
However, defendant had decided 10
plead guilty.
There was no Spanish interpreter
about, and Mcbride tried his Spanish
on the defendant, who intimated that
he had not understood a word of what
had been said. Mcbride sheepishly
told Judge Cooper that his Spanish
was little rusty - However, the de.
PENDANT knew exactly what the pro-
ceedings were about, for he had had
the whole matter explained to him
yesterday. Counsel took the respon
sibility of pleading guilty.
A sentence of not more than two
years, or less than one year, was i'm
posed. The defendant had already
been in prison for about three months.

PRELIMINARY
HEARING AND
A JURY TRIAL

The point raised by Attorney Clau-
dius Mcbride with regard to the rights
of defendants in the police court has
been sustained by Judge w. B. Ly-
mer. 1t will be recalled that Nc
Bride, who is appearing for Antoine
Richards Charged with the larceny
of certain milk demanded a jury tri-
al and a preliminary examination IN
the police court, an application which
was objected to by Attorney Frank
Andrade and the City and County At
torney's office.
Judge Lymer at first inclined to the
belief that Mcbride was right, but put
the matter over until today in or
der to give the prosecution an oppor-
tunity to go into the matter. Upon
consideration, however, the City and
County Attorneys office decided that
Richards was entitled to the prelim-
mary examination as we'll as to jury
trial, and nothing further was done in
the matter, Judge Lymers tentative
ruling that Mcbride was right being
allowed to stand.
The case was called on this morn
ing and during the preliminary hear
ing there were several acrimonious
discussions between Andrade and Nc
Bride, the former wishing to hurry the
hearing along and Mcbride endeayor-
ing to keep to the beaten track. On
an application by Andrade to amend
one of the charges from stealing
twelve quarts of milk TO stealing one
and half quarts of milk, Mcbride
made a vehement protest, declaring
that he would have to have time 20
meet the new case if the amendment
We're granted Judge Lymer stated
that he could not see how Richards
would be prejudiced but as it was pos
sible that he might be he granted a
continuance until Friday in that par
ticular case.
Evidence was then proceeded with

ards, and on Mcbride Directing to the
line of examination pursued by An

4 MIDWAY At
THE FISHMARKET

When the Columbian Exposition was
held at Chicago in 1898, the Midway
Pleanance proved to he one of the
Ichief httrabtions hnd drew bigger
crowds than any other feature of the
big show.
But the attraction along the Mid
way had to be imported. Villages of
the natives of distant and little known
countries were brought to Chicago for
the edifcation or the crowds that
travelled to that city Representatives
of peoples who were little more than
names to most of the visitors at the
Exposition were gathered Ytogether
along the pleasance to satisfy the
curiosity OF those who had never

corated in the manner of the country

The details of the work, Mrs Dill
ingham says, are in the hands of the
various committees and each COM
mittee is working hard to make its
particular booth the most attractive
of any along the street of the nations.
That there is going to be some hard
work necessary to carry out the ella
borate general scheme is certain, but
the ladies who are engaged in making
the coming Kirmess the big social
event of the season as well as the
most popular general entertainment
of the year are willing to work and
work hard. Consequently, with all
the talent and ability comprised in
the various committees, there is no
question as to the success of the
big undertaking.
j. A. Rath, superintendent of the
Palama Settlement, is, of course, en-
thusiastic concerning the Kirmess,
which promises so much for his
mission. He predicts that it will
be one of the chief events of 1911 and
that it will establish a standard for
future years.
