Southern Pacific Complies With the Railroad Commission’s Order. The Railroad Commissioners bave waited since last August for the annual report from the Southern Pacific Railroad Com- pany, and now they have really received it and are agreeably surprised, for the act of submitting & report is an undeniable acknowledgment by the railroad company of the right of the commission to de- mand it. The report is for the year ending June | 80, 1896, and, though it shows but a ‘small profit, it is a satisfactory improvement over that of the preceding year, which closed with a deficit.

Vigorous Speeches in' Defense of Its Val‘ipus Pro- visions. MISUNDERSTANDING CLAIMED. Speakers Say Tiat Its Provisions Contain No Discrimination on - Religious Grounis. | case. 17,335 09; | A meeting in favor of the proposed new charter was held in Odd Fellows' Hall last evening. Very earnest speeches ex- planatory of its provisions were made by Dr. Taylor, who presided, William F. Do“irmann, Albert Lyser, James Denman and Henry N. Clement. Dr. Taylor said that “rot” was the only word that could describe the statements that bave been made by those onposed to the new charter at their meetings to tie effect that the instrument would destroy self-government. It was proposed by the charter to give to the Mayor the power to appoint such officers as now are appointed by the Gov- ernor. It seemed ridiculous that on any such basis as that any one shounld say that the new charter wouldi destroy the local republican form of go vernment. The consolidation act had been amended by more than 400 ststutes until it was without form ard practicaily void. The real question now was whether the people would rise to the level of good citi- zenship.. O:her charters had been pre- pared and had been defeated by fraud. All the corrupt elements in the City were arrayed against this charter. Good citi- zens had unfortunately put themselves in opposition to it and so had endangered its adoption. William F. Dohrmann explained the work of the Citizens’ Charter Association. The charter was of the people, by the people and for the people. It wasalong tep in the nignt direction. At the char- ter convention 152 organizations were rep- resented by delegates, Every association #h the City having an honorable purpose was invited to send delegates. ‘The friends of the charter have tried to make a cam- paign of education, Some of those who oppose it had made a campaign of vituperation. There haa been an attempt to scare salaried officers. Some people had thought that they saw religions tendencies in the charter, but the instrument had no religious bearing and was non-religious and non-partisan. Lazy and indifferent citizens have been an obstacle in the way of success. James Denman said that he favored the charter because he was in favor of good government. He favored the new charter because the one existing was worn out. It has been outgrown with the growth of the City. The City was governed from Sacramento and not by the citizens, and for this reason he favored the new char- ter. Asa member of the City government he had tried to prevent the multiplication of clerks in the Ci.y Hall. He went to Sacramento to prevent the appointment of more clefks, but he failed. He afterward tried to prevent the ap- pointment of two clerks in the Coroner’s office, A Scnator toid him that he was opposed to extending the clerical service, but this Senator nevertheless voted for the appointments when the bill came in. 'he new charter would provide a way to get out of the financial snarls into which the municipality has commonly fallen. This year the school-teachers would have their salaries partly withheld, owing to the way the funds were arranged. Under the new charter the fund from which school-teachers were paid had been segre- gated. He could not see how any school-teacher could oppose the charter, taking into view that one consideration alone. The best thing about the charter was that it would bring about civil service. He was not surprised that *“the push,” the City Hall and politicians opposea the instrument for that reason. There should be a paid Fire Depart- ment, and the charter provided for that; and the Police Department should be taken out of politics. Albert Lyser, principal of the John Swett Grammar School, spoke particularly of that part of the charter which refers to the publicschools. Out of $1,250,000 raised last year for the public schools, from $300,000 to $500,000 had been squanderea. The City had bpeen governed on the principle of division—the schools to get as little of the money as possible and ‘‘the free companions'’ to get as much as possi- ble. The system of government was bad and needed amendment, and the new charter would furnish a better system. The tenure of office of school-teachers was at the mercy of the Legislature and of local authorities under the consolidation act. There were no provisions in the charter which could discriminate against Catholic teachers. All that was provided was that the teachers in the two lower grades should have soms professional training. ‘Nodiscrimination was intended against -&y sect or denomination. Heunry N. Ciement said that all the crit- icism agaiust the new charter had cen- tered on two or three points. The more important objections were that the Mayor was given too much power and that it proscribed teachers on account of their religious belief, Both of these objections were absurd in view of the real facts of the The Board of Freeholders con- tained people of all shades of religious belief. > The committee that reported the portion of the charter referring to the public schools consisted of cne Methodist, one Theosophist and one Catholic. A com- mittee of the Charter Association called upon Father Yorke when first he objected to the charter, and told him there was no discrimination on account of religion. continued, that if this were so he had no objection to the charter, but he would con- sult his attorney, Robert Y. Hayne. An opinion was written by Mr. Hayne, which on this point reached the sume conclusion a9 the lezal committee of the Citizens’ Charter Association. Still Father Yorke orposed. the charter on the ground that it discriminated in a religious way. The facts about the powers_ conferred on the Mayor are that the Mayor would simply name the officers who have been named by the Governor, and also three others only. > ‘The me emas closed with an announce- ment by Dr. Taylor that adjournment was taken 10 the pol n Tuesdav next. Veterans’ Campfire. Tlie executive committes of the Union Vet- erans’ Patriotic ‘League held aa executive meeting Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clcck at the Audltorium, to hear the reports of the various committees. Among those who were present were: William J. Ruddick, D. M. Cashin, C. M. Leavy, C. D. Douglas, Martin Murray, Edward Oanl : and Major Whitfield. The chairman of . committee made a progressive report. The secretary called attention to the fact that he had inadvertently stated that the camptire would be held at the Auditorium when it was Father Yorke said, so .Mr. Clement. really intended to have been held at B. B. Hall, 121 Eddy street, which was butter adapt-.| ed for a campfire, and as therc was no gallery there would be no ladies admitted. NEW PESTHOUSE. A Hospital for Contagious-Diseases to Be Located on the City and County Hospital Lot. * The Board of Health settled the ques- tion as to where the Pesthouse is to be lo- cated 'in a summary manner yesterday, the recommendation of the HospitalCom- mittee that the building belocated within the City and County Hospital grounds beine accepted without a dissenting voice. Dr. Hart, chairman of the committee, stated that the decrepit old: Pesthouse had been examined and that it was beyond re- pair. He said that to spend money on it was to waste public resources. Dr. Williamson offered a resolution, that was passed by the board, instructing the Superintendent of the City and County Hospitul to select a site on the hospital grounds in the northern part for a new building to be known as the hospital for contagious diseases. He was also ordered to have plansand specifications for the structure drawn up at once. Health Inspector Stout recommended that the ‘buildings at 43 Jessie streer, 182 Stevenson, 52 Natomsa and 19 Clementina pe condemned and destroyed. He also recommended the condemnation of the shanties on the lot at Felland Broderick streets. DUCK HUNTERS. The Sportsmen’s Irotective Association Will Hold an Opén Meeting This Evening.

The Box Taken to One of Their Homes and Broken Open. CONTAINED ONLY SIXTY CENTS The Girls Are Ella Wcods and Win- nie Nortcn, the Oae 16 and the O:hsr 15 Years of Age. Two young girls, Ella Woods and Win- nie Norton, were hrrested yesterdey morn- ing by Policeman H. 8. Hutchins and booked at the City Prison on a charge of burglary. Ella is 16 years of age and Win- nie 15. Monday afternoon the ‘‘poor box” in St. Francis Church on Montgomery ave- nue and Vallejo street was torn from its fastenings and carried away. The police were notified of the theft and Policeman Hutchings was detailed on the case. From information he received he went to 527 Vallejo street, where Ella lived, and placed her under arrest. He then went after Winnie and found her on Mission' street, near Twenty-eighth, on her way to visit her aunt, who lives at 5 Powell ave- nue. The girls after being taken to the City Prison confessed to Hutchings that they had en(eredp the church and stolen the box. They took 1t to Ella’s house and Wimnie broke off the lid with an ax. There was only 60 cents in the box. Monday night they went out to Sunny- side and hid the box in a vegetable gar- den, Hutchings, from the location de- scribed to him by the girls, found the box without diffientty and it was taken 1o the City Prison and booked asevidence against The Tabers Give an Interesting Performance of * Twelfth Night.” Laughter and Tears in “ Tennessee's Pardner” at the Columbia Theater. Theatrical managers are resigned {io their fate this weak, for on the eve of a Presidential election it is scarcely to be expected that the theaters will draw as usual. Some of the houses are doing a satisfactory business, but on the whole the audiences are slim. “Twelfth Nignt” received its first pro- duction during the present engagement of the Tabers at_the Baldwin Theater last night. Robert Taber gave a finished and jnteresting piece of acting .as Malvolio. Like Henry Irving he took the part seri- ously, making the poor duped steward a gentleman, whose delusions and disillusions arouse at least as much pity as ridicule. One is 0 used to seeing Malvolio burlesqued into a mere buffoon thatdt was a treat to find the role acted with delicacy and intelligence. Mrs. Taber was a delightful Viols, natural and simpie and intensely in earnest, as usual. The end of the cast was well acted. That mischief-loving trio, Sir Andrew. Sir Toby and the festive maid, succeeded in winning plenty of responsive laughter from the audience. The parts were_played. by Hawley Francks, G. W. Anson and Katherine Wilson respectively. “Tennesse's Pardner,” at the Columbia Theater, is a play in which Scott Marble has been peculiarly happy in catching the delicate human character-drawing of Bret Harte. Jane Corcoran gives & cnarming Impersonation of Tennessee Kent, the Eastern girl who comes to seek her father in the Western mining camp, and finds that he has gone beyond human ken, while his rongh mining friends had gone on writing to Tennessee and sending her money, purporiing to come from him. The scene in which she is told of her father’s death by Caleb Swan is full of natural, simple pathos. Indeed, there isa good deal ot this sort of sentiment in the play, although it is relieved by plenty of laughter. “The Ugly Duckling” 18 in its last nightsat | the Alcazar. Tne performance is a strong one and has added greatly to the popularity of the Aleazar stock company. IiThere is plenty of startling action in “The Captain’s Mate,” which is winning applauss at the Grand this week. The ‘play is well staged and effectively acted. The second edition of “Babesin the Wood” at the Tivoli is very funny and well deserves the applause it is winning nightiy. All the new acts at the Orpheum this week have proved successful, and the holdovers are going as.sirong as ever. The California Theater opens on Monday, November 9, with the romantic play, “‘Darkest Russia.” The second Hinrichs-Beel concert will be given at the Baldwin Theater to-morrow after- noon. Signor Michelena having been com- pelled to leave for Megico, Signor Abramofl will be the vocal soloist. B S — MRS. BLINN THE WINNER. She Gets the Woman Suffrage Lomonade Set, With Votes to Spare. For many days a handsomely de- corated lemonade set has occupied a conspicuous position in the head- quarters of the State Woman Suf- frage Association in the Parrott build- ing. It consisis of a bowl and mugs, and, under other conditions, might easily be taken for a punch-bow! and its accom pani- ments. This lemonade set was donated by an ardent woman suffragist for the good of the cause, and the suffragists have been voting as to who shoula be:ome the proud possessor of it. The resuit is just an- nounced. Mrs. Nellie Holbrook-Blinn is the lady who has the n.ost votes, and so sie will take the set. The voting at the close of the contest stood as follows: Mrs. Austin Sperry, 36; Rev. Anna Shaw, 100; Miss Susan B. Aunthony, 121; Mrs. A, A, Sargent, 122; Mrs. Nellie Holbrook-Blinn, 153. ‘There were many scattering votes. Mrs. Blinn is the vice-president of the State Woman Suffrage Association. \ ———————— JAMES G. MAGUIRE, at Unfon Hall, October 29, 1896. People’s party mess-meeting. * i —————— Denied One Charge.. Some time ago Mrs. Hattic E. Kennedy brought suit for a divorce from A. W. Kennedy on the grounds of eruelty and his association with other women, and the name of one was given as g corespondent. Kennedy purposely made no answer, but he filed an affidavit de- nying that his eonduct with women was of a questionable natur2.

It isan iron box and weighs probably about thirty pounds. ‘When taken to the City Prison the girls gave way to teérs, but they soon recovered their composure and their assurance of manner. Winnie was particularly beld and saucy and treated all inquirers with scant courtesy. She positively refused to say anything. Ella”was moré tractable and after some fencing she said: *“Winnie called upon me Monday afternoon and we went out for a walk. When we returned my mother asked me 10 «o to the church, as my little brother was very sick. “Winnie went with me, &nd just before we went into the church Winnie asked me to let her wear my cape, as she did not like 10 go into the church with her soiled waist. She wore a jacket open at the front. I gave her my cape and she gave me her jacket. ’ “I was standing at the font, which is near the entrance, talking to a lady when ‘Winnie went down the aisle to the altar. She came back in a few minutes and I asked her what she had under her cape. She told me it was the ‘poor box’ and I told her to zo and putit back. She walked a few steps toward the altar, but some men were there and she came back and walked out of the church with the box under her cape. +I followed her and we went to my room. Winnie got an ax and broke open the lid and took out the money. There was only 60 cents-in it and Winnie kept it. Idon’t know what she did with the box. +I did not go into the church intending to steal anything and did not know that ‘Winnie intended stealing the box.” Ella’s statement that sha did not know what became of the box is opposed to what Winnie told Policeman Hutchings, as she said Ella went with her to Sunny- side when tne box was thrown into the vegetable garden.
