Commissioner La Rue Will Make Several New and Interest- ing Suggestions. S LESSONS OF THE RECSNT SUIT. ~ Attention Called to the Long Delay in Rendering a Decision by the Court. At the office of the Railroad Commis- sion work is being pushed with the utmost expedition on one of the most interesting and important reports ever submitted by that boay to the Governor of the State. The experience of the past year has been prolific in the deveiopment of new phases of the railroad question and the powers ot the commission, and these points wiil be maie the subject of extended considera- tion in the fortucoming communication to the chief executive. Particular attention will be paid to the legal complications that have grown out of the case of the Southern Pacific Com- | pany vs. the Railroad Commission, asking | fora restraining order against the com- | mission in the n.atter of rate reductions, Chairman La Rue has some strong, per- tinent and novel views in this connection, and they will be embodied in the annual report of the commission. After review- | ing the manner in which the bands of the commission have been tied for more than a year by the litigation instituted by the Southern Pacific Company, Commissioner La Rue will suggest that further legisla- tion be enacted to strengthen the position | of the commission, and he will call atten- | tion to some of the most important acts that are desirable. | He will point out that the case now awaiting Judge McKenna’s decision came | up for hearing on October 22, 1895—more than a year ago; that is was postponed | from time to time until the 10th of Decem- ber, 1895, before the actual trial began, |and that the case was submitted for decision as long axo as May 20, 1895, The report will thén read as follows: Months have elapsed since the case was sub- mitted. Thequestion as to granting the in- junction as prayed for remains yet undeter- mined and undecided. Under the temporary restraining order our hands are tied and we are powerless to act in any manner relaiing to the correction of discriminations or the fixing 1of rates of freights and fares where the Bouthern Pacific Company is a party. In this case of the Southern Pacific Company the jurisdiction of the commission is ques- tioned, its constitutionality attacked, and its | power to make and regulate rates of freights | and fares, correct abuses and discriminations | enied. Notdesiring to involve the State in further litigation wherein the same questions would | arise, we have refrained from attempting to | regulute or change the rates of either freights or lures upon any of the other ruiiroads oper- | ated within the State, believing it better for | all parties interested’ to wait until the ques | tions now pendimg in the Circmt Court o: the | United States are decided. | | The questions involved in the case now pending ere of very great importance to the | Pevple of this State,and as & matter of right | aud justice to them the case ought to be de- | | cided at as early a day as can_be consistently | done that one may know whether the com- | mission has any power and s to be of #ny use; whether legislation is required to enable the commission to carry out the intention of the | constitution and of the will of the people as | expressed by them by the adoption of said constitution, or whether we are merely a commission in name only without the power 10 accomplish any good whatever. After reciting and commenting upon the two statutes already passed by t e Legis- lature relative to the Raiiroad Commis- sion, the report will continue as follows: But little if any more power is_conferred by these statutes upon the commis-fof tuan is di- rectly provided by the constitution. We are ot the opinion that tc make the work of the commission effective and to enable it to carry out the provisions of the constitution in such manner as its framers intended, and as the wants of the people require and de- mand, further powers should be conferred by the enuctment of such iaws as would give the commission power and make it their duty to compel all transportation companies 1o report annually to said commission, or oftener if necessary, giving a siatement in detail of their organization and affairs in conformity with such rules and regulations she.l be adopted by said commission; also the right 1o regulnte the speed of trains at railway cross- iugs; to compel the erection of bells at same; the location of station depois. switches, side. tragks, turnouts and spurs for the benefit and couvenience of shippers; to invesigate acci- demts and (0 require the posting of schedules of freights and 1ares in depots. The suggestion to give the commission | power to regulate the location of switches, sidetras ks, etc., is based on some peculiar and significant reports that have reached the ears of the Commissioners. One of these 1s that some time ni: a company bought a large tract of timber lund in one of the northern counties of California, and after a large quantity of lumber had been | cut from it and was ready for shipment | the Southern Pacific Company took up its sidetrack from the station near the tract and the lumter people were left ab- solutely without means of transportation | for their product, which was thus made virtually worthless. In this preaicament they ‘were approached by an individual | who succeeded 1n purchasing the whole outfit—plant, lumber and tract—for a mere song, comparatively speaking, Snortly afrerward the sidetrack of the Southern Pacific Company was replaced and subsequent developments owed that the purchaser was a gentleman very close to the high cfficials of the Southern Pacific Company. The lastjsuggestion, relative to posting freight and fare schedules in depots 1is due to the present method of evading the law, which requires them to be accessible to the pubiic ut all times. The schedules, however, are not placec where the public can see them; instead, there isa printed notice hung up at the various stations in- forming the reader 1hat he can learn the rates by application to the agentof the company. It is understood that Governor Budd is in sympathy with these views of the co mission and will recor mended such legis- lation as outlined in the report, and an in- teresting ~ession of the Legislature, with the railroad out of politics, may be looked for. R. J. HAMILTON ARRESTED. Accused of Sending an Obscene Letter Through the Mail. Robert J. Hamilton, formerly a saloon. keeper at 335 McAllister street, was ar- rested yesterday for sending an obscene letter through the mail. The complain- antis A. D. McAvoy, who has an office in the Mills buildite. According to the complaint, Hamilton, on October 3, sent a a letter to Mrs. J. Scully of 337 McAllister street, the contenjs of which were too filthy for oublication. It was dated, “Cripple Creek, October 2,’’ and attacued to it was the signature, “Sarah Gamp,” Hamilton w: heard to-morrow. Hamilton he is innocent of the charges: - The Bark Canada That Was in Collision With the Steamer City of Puebla When on Her Way Here From Puget Sound, and That Went Ashore in the Bay Near Fort Mason, as She Appeared . When Docked at the Foot of Third Street Yesterday. STOLE A SHIP'S BIG FOG BELL The Water Front Is Just ‘Now Infested With Thieves. Took the Pride of the Lancing and Looted the British Princess. FOUR YOUNG BURGLARSCAUGHT After Many Vicissitudes the Bark Can- ada Was Finally Docked at Third-Street Wharf. After many vicissitudes the bark Canada was finally docked at the foot of Third street yesterday morning. On October 24 | she was in collision with the steamer City | of Puebla and both vessels were damaged. When the Puebla arrived here Captain Debney reported having been in collision, and the starboard side of the vessel showed ample evidence of the fact. There was a very heavy fog at the time and neither vessel saw the other until they were close together, The Canada lost the fluke of her anchor, had her cathead carried away, and a glancng blow split the jibboom. The latter was “fished” and the bark proceeded. When the Uanada arrived off the Golden Gate Captain Wickberg determined 10 sail in. He had done sogn a hundred different occasions and made sure he could succeed again. After waiting twenty-four hours | be got a favorable wind and reached | Meiggs wharf before the ebb tide, and the wind aying out proved his undoing. The only remaining anchor was dropped, but at the critical moment it parted, and to vrevent his vessel from driiting out to sea i Captain Wickberg put her about and ran | her on a mua bank near Black Point. In talking about the matter Captain Wickberg said: ‘“When the Puebla ran us | down the Canada was on the storboard tack and our foghorn was being blown every minute. We could hear the steam- er's whisile every minute, but maybe they did not hear ours. The wind was very light and we were not making more than & mile an bour, so when the Puebia came | down on us we were a most stationary. It was a glancing blow und the damage was not great. They are now putting a new anchoraboard, and when the cathead and the martingale are replaced the ves- sel will be as good as new. ‘“A big piece of the Puebla’s bow mold- ing came aboard and we have it now. Captain Debuey can have it any time he | calls for it.” The Canada will discharge her cargo of | piles ana will then undergo an overbaui- | in, %he bark McNear and the barkentine Retriever are lying side by side at How- | ard-street wharf. he former 1s loading lumber for Australia and the la‘ter is supplying her with her cargo. Some of tue timbers are 70 feet long and 24x24, while others are 22x22 and 20x20. Thnese are for use in tne Coolgardie mines and are the fulfilling of a special order. The timbers are hauled from the Retriever onothe bukhead and thence into the hold of the McNear. Water-front tuieves are making the lives of the Harbor police miscrable just now.' Theft after theft and burelary after burglary have been reported until Captain Dunleavy is at his wit's ena to find oi- ficera to follow up the tracks of the crimi- nals. Last night a gan of thieves got avoard the British ship Lancing and ae- tually stole the big brass 1og-bell from the topgallani forecastle deck. The watch- man was on duty and_keeping a vigilant eve .n the gangway aft, but as the ship is 408 feet iong and he was aft, it was a com- paratively easy job for the thieves to work without beins detected. They evidently took out the clapper and then lowered the bell over the side into a boat. When the captain got up this morning all that was left of the $150 bell was tne sockets, While the Lancing's bell was being siolen anotier gang was a8t work on the ship British Princess, lying on the other side of the-wharf. The robbers got into the cabin and finding the first and second mate asleep stole every article of value, including all their clothing, out of the rooms. Not even a pair of troasers was leit, and the two men had to borrow from their shipmates before they could again appear on deck. George Ross, the shipwri~ht,was another sufferer. H.: was at work on one of the Siate's Credgers and requiring a particular kind of nuFer sent one of the men to the tool cles: for it. When it was brought to him another piece of work had been started, and the auger was placed in a vise lor safe keeping. When wanted both vise an auger were gone. Then there was trouble and a general search inaugurated. A man on the wharf esked what was the trouble and when told said: “Why, a ith an ago.” ere summoned, but Ro s had l\‘: bnyh.nnther auger before he couid finish his job. \ Yesterduy Frank Moore, aged 18, “Bert’’ Hughes, ng]-(x 18, “Tom’ Riley, aged 18, and *Joe'’ King, aged 16, were all booked at the Harbor Police station on a char, of bursiary. Thoy broke into the Over- land Pucking Company’s -warehouse on taken before Commis- | Buttery street, and took everything they sioner Heacock by the postal autnorities | could carry. and held in $500 bonds. The case will be | the steam gear, tools, some tin plates and protests that | whatever canned goods they wantea. Eolder, lead, connections for Officer Eilig was detailed “on the case by Captain Dunleavy, and he ran the young thieves to earth in Chinatown. They had with them twosacks full of plunder, whic! they were trying to sell. On Riley was found a 22-culiber pistol and on the others picklocks and other burglars’ tools. They were charged witn burglary at the Harbor Police station. The boys assert their in- nocence and say they found the stuff. The British ship Arc'ic Stream arrived from Sydney, N. 8. W., after a smart assage of fifty-six days. B8he left bere on gh_v 18 last, thns making fhe round trip in less than six months. From here she took wheat to Sydney and from the latter port brought back coal. She is now pre- pared 1o take & charter to load wheat for Europe. Tbgwhm at the foot of Lombard streat is the most exposed on the water-front, and in consequence it is a white elephant on the hands of the present Board of Har- bor Commussioners, as vessels will not lie atit, The big tramp steamer Amapoora went in there last Sunday, but t: e tide, running like a millrace, carried away her forward moorings, and in order to hold her the captain bad to drop his anchor. Thus she lay during the afternoon of yes- terday, moored aft, but her anchor hold- ing ber forward. Among the arrivals last night was the steamer Newport from Panama and way ports. She brought up the jollowing pas- sengers: N. G. Robertson, A. Satter and daughter, Mrs. J. Gonzales, G. A. Mar- shall, N, Torney, N. H. Talbot, Frank Bromley, A. Schuma her, Miss Beasley, M.

Alega Sanchez was last night discovered taking all the steps necessary to a pro- gressive spree. She had with her two young children. The younger, a four- month-old girl, hung over or under the woman's arm as the case might be, while the woman went from saloon to saloon. The rain beat upon the child, drenching it to ‘the skin, and as it hung head down- ward it cried piteously. The older child was an undersized boy, about 6 years old, who toddled around atter the woman throuch the rain and in and out of saloons. When Mr. Welch ct the Society for the Preveution of Cruelty to Chiidren saw the woman and the cnil- dren, and realized how cruelly the chil- dren were being treated, he resolved to see it he could not put a stop to that sort of thing. The first thing was to secure an assurance that the woman would be ad- mitied to the County Jail with her baby it she should be convicted. The fact is well known that certain Judges have said heretciore that they could not well put a woman with a nurs. ing baby in jail. This has been the basis of a trick on t..e part of certain dissolute women who babitually take outa young child of very tender years when they start upon a debauch for the purpose of pro- viding immunity for themselves 1f they should be arrested. Sometimes, it is sus- pected, they have borrowed babies for the purpose. 7 However that may be it has become the: fixed opinion of members of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children that the leniency of the Judges toward the dissolute mother while intendea es- pecially as a measure of mercy to very tender children has really led to much cruelty. There are several women who constantly cover the cocktail route with babes in arms. z The moral effect of sending one of these women to jail, Mr, Welch thinks, may be good. Thut may be a way of keeping the babies out of the rain and outof the saloons if it is learned that the courts take the stand that carrying a bab; around by a mother on a debauch consti- tutes an_offense that will be severely pun- ished. The Sanchez woman is charged with cruelty to children. The R.zor Did Its Work. Alonzo L. de Clairmont died yesterday at the City and County Hospital and his body was removed to the Morgue. On the 3d inst. he was living at 17 Stockton streét and he was unable to pay his room rent. His despondency was increased by llga landlord holdaing his trunk for payment. On that day the youn; man decided that he had enough of this ,worlg and that he would go where ‘iandlords were less exucting and room rent does not come due so often. Accordingiy he drew a razor across his windpive. It was a poor job for Clairmont lived to be taken firsi to the Re. ceiving Hospital and then to the City and County Hospital where he died yesterday. He was 32 years of age. ———— After the Battle. % The wear and tear of success and/failure, and the gemeral demoralization to nerves, has bean more marked perhaps, in the campaign just closed, than in any other. For shattered nerves, for bodily rest and for baim to the mm’g there is no piace like Paso Robles, with its ificent winter climate, 118 mineral waters and comforiable hotel. l THAT RISE IN THE - PAICE OF BREAD It Is Agitating Bakers and Dealers Throughout the City. And Will Agitate the Public, No Doubt, if It Be Put Into Force. DEALERS STILL PROTESTING The Result Not to Be Known Until the Next Meeting cf the Bakers’ Asscciation. * The threatened advance in the price of bread is still agitating the mind of the puablic and of dealers in the staff of life— the dealers other than the bakers them- selves, The bakers who are members of the Bakers' Protective Association are busily engaged circulating a paper not only along the line within the association but among all the bakers of the City, seeking signatures such as will pledge them to the conditious of the resolutions adopted by the association. They are securing siznatures very rap- idly among the distributing or *‘wagon’ bakers of the City—that is to say, among the bakers that run wagons and distribute their wares to the branch bakers, groeers’ and other dealers. They are all eager enough to enter into the compact—con- tingent, of course, upon every other baker entering and being bound by it. Should not all enter the combine it would be impossible to carry out the plan of the association, for the reason that romgomion is so sharp that) those bound by the compact would immediately find themselves at a great disadvantage. Those who refuse to sign do so for no other reason than the fear of the loss of trade. There are a number of grocers and branch bakeshop-keepers who have estab- lished their trade on cheap bread—two loaves for 5 cents—and who have proved such good managers and so energetic in the quest of business that they are allowed as high as 50 per cent commission on sales. These dealers are loudest in their protest against the resolutions of the as- sociation which restricts their commis- sion to 25 per cent. They declare that the master bakers want to iake out of the traffic all that it will bear. To grasp the situation it must be under- stood that not all the stores that wear the sign of bakeries are in fact bakeries. Most of these get their bread and pies aand cakes and such thines from a wagon at the door every morning instead of out of an oven in the cellar, as may popularly be supposed. It is the keepers of these that are known as ‘“‘branch stores” that will suffer from the limiiations imposed by the commission clause in the resolutions of the association. It is the public, however, that is to really suffer from the proposed combine. The resolutions forbid the competing bakers to give over weight in their bread. Noth- ing, however, is said about giving short weight. The language of the resolutions is that no baker shall give “‘more’’ than eighteen ounces in a 5-cent loaf and that ‘‘this shall ‘be t e standard,” the larger loaves being gauged in the same propor- tion. Many of the bakers now seek to win trade by giving twenty and twenty- two ounces in the loaves that were sold at retail for 5 cents. Very many of the branch stores sell even the heaviest weight ana best-rated bread to the larger customers at twenty-four and even thirty loaves for $1, and many of the bakers seil the lighter loaves at two for 5 cents. The compact for the combine, as stated, does not require any baker to increase the weight of these light' loaves, but it re- ?ulrn the dealer to exact 5 cents for them rom the consumer. Some of the dealers are themselves in favor of tue combine, declaring that it is impossible to.sell bread at a ch-aper rate than 5¢ nts a loaf and leave the baker and dealer a profit. The resuit of the circulation of the com- pact for signatures will not be known un- tii those who have it in charge report at the next meeting of the Bakers' Protestive Association. Uatil then it cannot be cer- tain that the.increase in price that is pro- posed can be mac stick. ! A Crackerjack Suit. F. W. Rueckheim & Bros. and Lilly & Pan- néll of I.linois have brought &n action in equity in the United States Circuit Court against David 8. Ciphers, L. P. & D. F, Selby of this State. The plaintiffs, Rueckheim & Bros., are the manufacturers of a certain article of confectionery known as ‘‘crackerjack,” and they granted a license to Liily & Pannell to ml{e the same article. The goods were put on the market in_packages bearing the firt’s trademark and brand. They now complain that the respondents are manufacturin, similar confection, which is put up in similar packages, and they ask that she{‘ enjoined from continuing 10 do so.

More Than One Hundred Indi- viduals at Work—Increase Next Week. THE DAWNING OF PROSPERITY. McKinley’s Election Restores -Confi. dence in This City as Well as Elsewhere. The farnaces of the glass works, on Sev- enth and Townsend streets, which have been rusting in idleness for so long, are once more aglow, and smoke pours from chimneys that for long have been unused to soot and flame. Blowers are cleaning up their rusty blowpipes, melting-pots are bubbting, fires are roaring, and once more the works are filled with busy men and women. There were at work in the different divi- sions more than a hundred individuals— men, boys and girls—and the pleased look upon each face was proof that all felt sat- istied that good times have come again. James H. Davis, manager of the works, was in excellent spirits and very enthusi- astic when questioned as to the prospects of the glass industry. ‘‘Yes,” said he, ‘‘we have siarted in good earnest, and we have the best prospects for a bright and pros- perous future. The election of McKinley has inspired confidence in those who manufaciure and those who have money to invest, and that confidence seems to be widespread. *We started this morning with a force numbering a little more than 100, and that will be increased just as soon as the other furnaces are overhauled and put in first- class condition. That will be inside of two weeks, and then we shall have at least 250 at work. We are just now working 25 giris, but we shall put on 50. Have we enough orders to justify usin employing such a forre? Yes, we bave, and the in- dications are that we may require more; and we can increase the force threefold, for our furnaces are so arranged that when working them at our full capacity we can by working three eight-hour shifts in twentv-four hours give employment to nearly 750 people. *'I feel very hopelul,” coniinued Mr. Davis, “and am confident that under the next administration we shall have the rosperity which was progised to us. gv'hen the Cleveland administration went into power there immediately followed a lack of confidence; people were afraid to invest their money, but now that the Re- publican National t'cket has been carried confidence has returned, and every one who has the means is doing his share to insure prosperity.’ HAWAII LIKES McKINLEY Colonel P. C. Jones Sees Bright Things for the Ka- nakas. . Inter-Island Cables, Bond Sales and Other Issues n( Impor- tance. Hon. P. C. Jones of Honolnlu is in the City on his way home, having spent some weeks in New York trying to sell $3,000,- 000 of his Government’s bonds. Owing to the uncertainty of financial matters prior to the election Mr. Jones found it impos- sible to negotiate the securities advan- tageously and he has concluded to aban- don negotiations until the American money market is easier. Mr. Jones is one of the leading business men of Honolulu and a prominent_friend of the Government. ' He is well informed regarding matters of interest and spoke 1ast night to a CALL reporter as follows: “The triumph of McKinley inspires us with contidence in the future prosperity of the islands. I feel that the success of the Republican party at this time means more to us Hawaiians than almost any- thing that could have occurred, and the Hewaiians I have seen are pleased at the outlook. “The most important big enterprise —— NEW TO-DAY.

Spalding is trying to promote. He has the right for two years to push the matter, and I believe he has incorporated in New York for about $60,000,000. With the Republicans in power we feel that there is more hope than ever for the com- pletion of his plans, which are very close tous. Other men have proposed cables, but no scheme offered heretofore has been 80 promising as his, which embraces both the foreign and the inter-island idea.”’ It is the idea of the Hawaiian Govern- ment to negotiate $3,000,000. in 4 per cent bonds in lien of all the issues now out- standing, which are at 6 ner cent. Colonel Jones had to leave New York for home too soon to negotiate the matter, but he has received advices that McKinley’s election has already so loosened the money mar- ket that he will have no trouble in effect- ing the matter later on. D. 0. Mills, the Hewitts and Swaynes, of New York, are interested in the inter- 1sland cable project. e e The cellar of the Bank of France re sembles a large warehouse.
