Powers of the Railroad Com- missioners Involved in the Suit. The suit of the Railroad Commission- ers versus the Southern Pacific Company or, as it is better known, Edson vs. the Southern Pacific Company, came up yes- terday morning before Judge "Kerrigan. The suit is for an injunctivn to restrain the Southern Faciic Company Irom | charging u rate of %9 beiween San Yrancisco and Fresno, in lieu of a rate (84 lgzy,fl; which went into emect August | The case first came up in May, 1900, | before Judge Bahrs and was sulimiited jon an agreed statement of facts. -Judge Buhrs held at that time that the.Kail- road Commissioners had a right to en- jomn the company from reverung to the higher rate. This decision was later re- versed by the Supreme Court. The Southern Pacific claims that the rate of $375 was not a competitive rate to meet the opposition of the San Joaquin Valley road when it went into operation, but was a special rate made to aid in the booming of. the valley. Attorney General Tirey L. Ford, Dep- uty Attorney General George A. Sturte- vant and Frank H. Short of Fresno ap peared for the plaintiffs. The attorneys for the Sopthern Pacific Company were J. E. Foutds and former Judge Garb. { Who has been retained as special couns John Mo assistant _general freight and passenger agent of the San Fran- cisco and San Joaquin Valley road, tes- tified to the opening of the San Joaquin Valley line in January, 1897. | James Horsburgh J | passenger agent of the Southern Pacific Company, was the next witne testified that the $375 rate was means intended as a cut to meet the | rates of the San Joaquin Valley. road, but | was a special rate for those that chose to take advantage of it. The $375 ticket, be said, did not permit passengers to get | off at way stations between San Francis- co and Fresno and required that all bag- gage be checked through between those | points. The $59 ticket, he added, re- | mained in force with stop-over advan- | tages and privileges. | | The testimony of W. S. Mattingley and John C. Moore, given at the former trial of the case, was read and admitted in | evidenge by consent of counsel. Their testimony was to the effect that they had always paid $375 for thelr tick- ¢ts between Eresno and San Francisco. The testimoMy of S. F. Booth, ticket agent at Fresno, was next read. Booth testified that he knew nearly every one | traveling from Fresn, | and sold them the $375 tickets. He said | they could have had the $5 9% ticket for | the asking. | _C. R.

P B A number of city officials appeared yes- terday before the Board of Supervisors sitting as a committee of the whole to consider next year's tax budget, for the purpose of inducing the city fathers to make increased appropriations for their several departments over those recom- mended by the Finance Committee. , Previous to the meeting a conference of the Supervisors was held in the commit- tee-room raising the retail liquor license to $200 per year. Several of the Supervisors, includ- ing Connor and Wilson, urged that the | license be raised in order to provide ad- ditional revenue for the Police Depart- ment. A majority of the board, however, was unalterably opposed to the plan, and it is-doubtful whether any move will be | made in that direction. ‘When the board convened Brandenstein said that it was not expected by the Fin- ance Committee that tne budget it had recommenaed should be adopted as final by the board. ‘“We acknowledge,” said Brandenstein, “that the budget contains errors, and we welcome any suggestions that may be made.” CORONER STATES NEEDS. Coroner Leland pleaded that provision be made for permanent improvements in the nature of modern apphances for tae proper handling of dead bodies. Leland's requests were 1n addition to the allow- ance ol $20,540 for the maintenance of his office as recommended by the committee. Chief Hewitt of the Department of Eiec- tricity saia that the sum or $161,000, in- stead of §%0,000, should be provided for the department. The sum of $25,000 would be collected in fees next year, which Hewitt thought should be credited to his depart- ment. Fire Commissioner Watt said that the training of the wires to the new cen- tral fire alarm and police teiegraph sta- tion in the City Hail courtyard would cost considerable. The board has allowed 37500 tor the building, but it will merely house the apparatus, and $7500 additional is_necessary, Watt said. Recorder Godchaux said it would re- quire $28,500 to pay his copyists, or $2500 more than the Finance Committee allows. is necessary because the copylists were doing $100 worth of work per month yet received only $73 on ac- count of an insufficient appropriation, Godchaux said. Fire Commissioner Watt sald the Fire Department could get along without new apparatus, but if the board found that after readjusting the budget it could pare funds for a new engine or two and © set more hydrants the commission would be satistied. B “We ask for enough money,” said Watt, “to fill up the companies according to the charter requirement. The firemen are compelled to live in the firehouses, which are in some cases uninhabitable. We would like to give the men one day off in ten. To fill the companies up wiil require $26,400 in_addition to the $403,830 recommended. We need an extra painter, an extra machinist and two more hostlers, or $2640 more. WANTS NEW FIREHOUSE, Braunhart asked Watt If the item of #5000 for a new firehouse and site in | the boarding-house district could not be eliminated in view of the fact that a bond issue is proposed for the purchase of firehouses. ‘“The enormous increase in the number f large frame bullding in the district near Bush and Jones streets is jeopard- izing the safety of the city,” said Watt. “I weuld restrictions of the building laws in granting permits to erect houses. I would hardly approve of a plan to build a temporary fire engine house to give protection to the district, but it is impos- ible to rent a suitable place for the purpose.” Treasurer McDougald pleaded appropriation to pay the premiums on official bonds of city officers. McDougald said that he paid $500 yearly for a bond of $100,000 to the surety companies, who had formgd a trust to mulct city offi- ctals. Hi§ office deputies paid $450 addi- tional as premiums and McDougald held that it was an injustice to infringe on the salarfes of city employes. Deputy for an | Merton C. Allen stated that the surety | trust exacts a bond of $195,000 from the Treasurer's office, or $95,000 in excess of what the charter requires. Allen sald the surety companies aré Iinterfering | in the conduct of municipal affairs and attempting to control affairs in city of- fices besides exacting bonds from subor- dinate employes who are not in responsi- ble positions. The amount needed to pay the premiums on all official bonds would be $4800 and the commissions on collateral inheritance taxes would more than pay the expense, Allen said. COST OF ELECTIONS. Registrar Walsh said that two special elections for a bond issue and charter amendments held after the next general election in November would cost $7500 cach and the bond election to be held next epring _would cost $20,000. Walsh asked for $155,000 instead of $135,000, which al- 1€ady included provision for one bond election. Chief of Police Wittman said that if the board would give the Police Department $100,000, in addition to the $83%,084, he would be satisfled. ‘“The money need not come from the taxpayers,” sald Wittman. “If you can- not_see your way to increase the liquor license, why not raise the license on nickel-in-the-siot machines to $120 per year, and I will give you the best police department in the world? I will give you 607 patrolmen, which will insure eight- hour watches and better protection for all distriets. Last year there was a carnival of crime in this city, which will be re- peated next year. This is a dumping ground for the criminal element in the winter time. There is no captain in the district west of Larkin street to the ocean. We ought to have one more cap- tain, six additional lieutenants and 600 patrolmen, instead of 531 as provided for. There are now twenty-six men on the civil service eligible list of policemen and another examination will shortly be held.” REVENUES FROM LICENSES. Expert Williams of the Finance Com- mittee prepared a statement showing that there are now 8100 saloons, paying a li- cense of $84 per annum each, making a total of $260,400. e increase to would reduce the number of saloons to about 3000, insuring a revenue of $600,000, or an increase of ,600. There are now about 1000 nickel-in-the-slot machines pay- ing $40 per year, or a total of $40,000, If the license were increased to $120 per year the revenue therefrom would be $99,000, as- suming that the increase license would re- sult in a decrease to 750 machines. School Director Woodward explained that plans for bullding new schoolhouses had been prepared which would eat up a surplus of some $135,90 32 in the school fund as returned by the State Controller. The sum of $25,000 had been contracted for already and the Noe Valley School would cost $45000. Woodward was plied with questions to learn what the board intend- ed to do with the remainder of the sur- plus, but the Director would give no di. rect answer, claiming he was not aware of such a surplus. A statement furnished by the State Controller showed the fol- lowing figures: Receipts from State to school fund e Probable receipts i L Jane 30, 1005 Sayeny o8 Receipts from rents, etc.........

Clark for divorce, is, according to the tes- timony given by her husband in Judge Hunt's court yesterday, unfit to be his wife, but is a very proper person to care for their child, aged two years. Clark in describing his wife branded her as a wo- man of most dissolute habits, and then calmly informed the court that he was €atistied to have her bring up their child. “Well,” sald Judge Hunt, “you are a most remarkable man. You deliberately | biacken the character of your wife by | saying she is a drunkard and that she is a4 woman of very low habits, and then say you are wiiling that she should care for your child. I'll reserve my opinion until I can see Mrs. Clark. This matter will go over until next Tuesday.” Annie Ingham, wife of Police Officer Richard I. Ingham commenced an action for divorce yesterday, alleging that Ing- bam has frequently abused her. She charges him with fntemperance. They were married in May, 18%, and have two children.

John Milton Evans, who keeps a saloon 4nd lodging house at 116 lddy street, is being sued for divorce by Eliz- abeth Evans. She charges that he has been unfaithful to her and has failed to provide for her. A suit for divorce was commenced yes- terday by James A. Dinienne against Florence Dinienne.

The evening session of the Board of Bupervisors, sitting as a committee of the whole, to hear suggestions regarding the budget for the next fiscal year, was en- | tirely consumed by the Board of Public Works. Leon Park, secretary of the board, appeared before the committee to ask for all manners of increase in the amount of money apportioned to the Board of Works. Whether or not they succeed Iin Impressing the Supervisors with the urgency of their needs remains | to be seen, as the board merely sat last night to hear evidence, which will be con- sidered later when the budget is finally e out. |mg?|e of the prlnclfial items considered was in regard to the salary which the architect should receive, During the next year, if the plans of the Supervisors are carried out, many new schoolhouses and a new City and County Hospital will be constructed. The board discussed whether it would be more advisable to allow $4000 for the architect’s salary and thus secure a capable man for the position, who would be able to plan the new structures, or whether to allow only $3000 and to hire an additional architect to furnish the plans. The Supervisors showed a disposition to increase the pay of janiters, elevator men and laborers to $275 a day. The board will continue its session at 2:30 this after- noon. FIVE MILLIONS CAPITAL STOCK Locé.l Capitalists Pur- chase the Big Bend Tunnel, Will Bring Twenty Thousand Horsepower to This City Within Year. After two years of negotiations the most extensive power company in California has been formed. Final details were set- tled and papers of incorporation were flled yesterday. The corporation will be known as the Feather River Power Company. The properties are located at the Big Bend of the Feather River, twenty miles from Oroville, and within one year the com- pany will furnish 20,000 horsepower in San Francisco. All the officers of the company are local men of great wealth. The president of the compayy s Charles Webb Howard. Charles L. Fair is the vice president, and the directors are J. Downey Harvey, W. J. Dingee and Major Frank McLaughlin. The capital stock of the company is 35,- 000,000. ‘Within the last few days the new com- pany has purchased from the Big Bend Tunnel and Mining Company of Buffalo, N. Y., all the properties of the Big Bend tunnel, its United States patent rights on the Feather River, which extend for four- teen miles, and which: were granted in 1881, and some 4000 acres of land. ‘Work will be commenced at once to tun- nel from the terminus of the Big Bend tunnel, which is two miles in. length, through a small mountain to the Feather River, half a mile distant. When this is completed and the water rushes down the steep canyon, the officers of the company feel assured that they will easily generate 40,000 horsepower. GREAT ‘DEMAND FOR POWER. At the present time 85,000 horsepower is landed in this city from different points in California and this supply is sadly inade- quate. With the 20,000 horsepower = that the new company will furnish there will still be a great demand for power that it will be impossible to supply. At the present time all the power that is generated in this State is brought from the mountains and hills by flumes and ditches. The Feather River Power Com- pany will not be handicapped in this mat- ter. It will have no flumes to keep in re- pair or ditches to be carefully watched. The great volume of water it will use will simply rush through the tunnels and di- rect to the powerhouse. The company will sign contracts for irrigation rights in the locality, as there will be no water con- sumed in the generation of power. The comgany has decided that it will only furnish power in San Francisco. The route chosen for_ transmitting the power to this city will be through many towns, ircluding San Jose, but the wires will not be tapped along the route. Major Mc- Laughlin, speaking of the company yes- terday, sald that it was estimated that the cost of the plant would be $2,000,000. PLENTY OF WATER. “I have been working on this plan for supplying the city with_power for over two wears,” said Major McLaughlin yes- terday. ‘“At last the company has been formed, the papers have been filed and I am glad to tell the general public what a grand project it is. We are totally indif- ferent about the rainfall or the amount of snow that is in the mountains. We shall always have water and we shall be under no expense of building and watching flumes and ditches. The work will be completed and the company operating in about a year.” Charles L. Fair said in reference to the investment: “I went up there two years ago and viewed the property and was favorably impressed with the plan. I have full confidence that splendid investment.” we are making a ADVERTISEMENTS. #FinckCo 818-820 MARKET ST. SAN FRANCSCO. Big Reductions .=, In Department.
