HINOR STUBBS {Present Him With Silver | Plate Handsomely Engraved. L TR | | | J. C. Stubbs was tendered a luncheon | | yesterday afternoon at the Palace Hotel by the railroad general agents of this city. The affair was arranged as a for- | mal farewell to Mr. Stubbs, who leaves | shortly for Chicago to enter upon his new duties as traffic manager of the Unlon Pacific, the Southern Pacific, the Oregon | Short Line and the O. R. and N. | The luncheon was simplicity itself. Mr. Stubbs made a few remarks. He said he was sorry to leave San Francisco and that he was sorry to sever his assoclation with the railroad men of thi He explained that little gatherings of this kind prompted a more frien celing among rallroad agents and that he hoped that as this feeling had distinguished the rallroad men in the past they would con- tinue to work in harmony. Before the close of the gathering Mr. | Stubbs was presented with a handsome silver plate, which bore the following in- ription: ‘ To. Mr. J. C.

It was an affair of years ago, and might have ended with the regulation Lohengrin march and orange blossoms had not Miss Lytton preferred the ap- plause and glitter of stage life to the charm and peace of domesticity. Miss Lytton and Hugh Tevis were play- | mates. After a fasnion they were re- |lated. Miss Lytton's mother, Mrs. Bar- | schus, is the half-sister of J.'B. Haggin, | whose first wife was the sister of Mrs. | Lioyd Tevis. The Barschus’ never count- ed much on this far- cd relationship, only it served to bring the families to- gether. In due course of time May grew up into a handsome young woman and decided upon the stage as a career. She went East, and returned in 1389, when she played an extended engagement at the | Baldwin Theater, essaying one of the leading roles in “Little Lord Fauntleroy.” it was during _this engagement that | Tevis and Miss Lytton met again. Mr. Tevlaflrald the charming young actress | marked attention, and upon the conclu- sion of her engagement in this city fol- lowed her to Los Angeles. In the City of Angels he declared his love and offered | Miss’ Lytton his heart and his name. | But May Lytton was a practical youn Wo! man. She was not in love with Hu | Tevis.

I Nevertheless she mourns him now.. ers shall be lified electers of the State and of the district | | from which they are elected or appointed, and shall not be | interested directly or indirectly as stockholder, creditor, agent, | known as Assembly constitutional amendment No. 2. At was adeopted during the expiring hours of the Legislature, and doubtless many well meaning members voted for it under mis- apprehersion of its true character. If it should be ratified by the voters ‘“‘government of the people, by the people and for the people” would perish from the face of California earth. | The pro amendment annuls’ outright section 22, article XIT (corporatiens) of the existing constitution. All the powers | siven to the Board of Railroad Commissioners to fix raflroad, | passenger and frelght rates are ennulled. Tt Is true that other fons for the adjustment of rates are embodied In the amendment, but as refiroad influences, directed by Herrin of the Southern Pacific law department, were ked to secure favorable action on the measure now pend- . it may be accepted as a fact that the controlling powers granted to the people in the constitution of 1878 will be lost if the amendment be ratified. - Every voter in Californin should rerd mections 22 and 23, arilele XI¥, of the existing constitution in | eonnection with the propoced asmendment. The last mentence of section 21 of the proposed amendment “Sectlons twenty-two end twenty-three of ar- e twelve of this constitution are annulled.” | Commission to Regulate Everything. The proposed new deal—Assembly constitutional amend- | ment No. 28—contemplates the creation of a commission of five men to regulate everything that can be taxed for regulation. The Sta s to be divided into five districts and every one of ricts is to elect a commissioner, whose salary shall r. The commissioner’s term of office is ten years. not all. The Governor appoints the first five—one or two years, one for four years, one for six years, one for nd one for ten years. Thereafter the commission- s are to be elected by the people. Practically there is no end to the power' granted to the commissioners. The amendment declares: ‘‘The commission~ "But that attorney, employe or otherwise in any of the corporations, companics or iness over which they have charge.” The ge in this respect i borrowed from section 22, article | . of the existing cofstitution, which applies solely to trans- | cinted by the Governor telegraph, telephone, water, light, power, transporta- nd express companies and *other corpora- | elating to eligibility is so discriminating | hing that one-balf the voters of the State would | 1 from gerving on the commission. her corporations” relates to banking institu- nce companies.

The State Commission is clothed with authority under the proposed change in the ccnstitution to fix the charges for everything imaginable. Powers given to Supervisors, local governing bodies and Town Councils are usurped and swept aside. Here is the astounding proposition in the language of | sectlon 21: “And from and after sald appointment the State Commirnion shall In every rempect. no far as relates to all and every the said rates and charges hereinbefore mentioned, and to all end every the matter of things, howsoever connected with performing said wnervices and furnishing and supplying sald commodities, be the muccessor under the constitution and laws of the State of the Boards of Supervisors and City and County or City or Town Councils and other governing body or bodies of the several counties, cities and counties, citles and towns of the State, with the same powers, nuthority and duties now established by the constitu- | tion and laws of the State, or hereafter to be estab- | lished by the Legislature, except where the latter | may conflict with this section.” Penalties Amount Almost to Confiscation. Penaltles for failure to conform to edicts of the all-power- ful commission amount practically to confiscation of property and the destruction of business. | Many Californians will call to mind the great struggle in | the constitutional convention of 187879 for the rights and prin- ciples of local government. All the rights secured to the peo- ple by the framers of the constitution are to be surrendered to a commission appointed by a Governor who may be desirous of retaining the favor of great corporations and smail politi- clans. Many able and patriotic members of the last Le ature entered their protest against the consideration of-an amend- ment-so preposterous, but in the turmoil and confusion of an | expiring session their protests were neither heard nor heeded. ‘When all the vicious and dangerous provisions of the meas- ure are clearly understood by the people of California voters irrespective of party will charge their delegates to the State conventions of 192 to proclaim in resolutions a sense of the At this time it is the duty of farmers, merchants, workingmen and taxpayers to make an Intelligent study of the proposed amendment. The corrupt politicians, regardless of party ties, probably will em- ploy all the gkill and cunning at their command to bring out a strong vote in support of the amendment. It is a big and audacious scheme of politicians, backed by interested corpora- © eifeieieedeivd tions, to grasp the power that belongs to the people. LOVING COUPLE!

Miss Florence Stone, leading lady at the Grand Opera-house, emphatically denles the story that she is about to secure a divorce from her wealthy husband, Mr. Ledley of Toronto, and that once free she will join her fate for better or worse with Melbourne Macdowell. In spite of Miss Stone’s denial, the tele- graph wires have ticked the story many times to the East, and behind the scenes of the local theaters the story has grown as it has ed from mouth to mouth. Miss Stone declares that if there is a divorce coming it may be the gther way, in that instead of her trying td be rid of her husband he may be trying to be freed from her. “It's all nonsense,” said Miss Stone, as she smeared her face all over with cold cream. ‘“On what ground could I get a divorce from my husband, that is what I should like to know. It may be that he is trying to get a divorce from me on the ground that [ won’t quit ghe stage and go home to him. ““You see,” she went on, “I cannot give up the stage, as my husband wishes me to. He is a very wealthy man and can give me everything that courd make home life attractive, but I have tried it and I hate it. I must have my theater and I must have my applause. 1 would not give it up for any man. . Miss Stone admitted that she also had heard the rumor that ii so persistently linking her name with MF. Macdowell. ““It all originated in a h,"” the actress attempted to explain. “Some of the peo- Dple about the theater have seen us a great deal together. We play together and, nat- uraliy, are thrown much- in each other's society. Well, some of the people went up to Mr. Mac and said to him, ‘The next thing doing will be you two getting mar- ried,” and Mr. Mac, keeping up the joke, replied, “Well, T guess so," and really that is.all there is to the story.” Coal Must Stand Test. The Fire Commissioners decided at their meeting yesterday to require mer- chants who bid for supplying coal to the Fire Department to submit their coal to a public test. The test will be made in the Corporation vard after bids are filed. The Chief of Police was instructed to call in all the fire badges which were in use during the past year.
