ONLY A POOR BEGGAR. Detectives Fitzgerald and Graham were ! detailed on the case anu they eaw the crippled beggar on crutches going through the cars with a card in his hand on which was printed, “The object of this appeal is to get the bearer an artificial leg and arm by which means he will be enabled to make his own living.” Then followed six verses of doggerel and be- low, “Anything you wish to give will be thankfully received.” Passangers took pity on the ragged, sickly looking cripple and as a rule he got considerable money. tween the company’s assessment and its appraisement of it properties. Charles Wesley Reed was granted per- mission to ask the officials of the com- pany certain questions In an attempt to | prove that the existing water rates are too high. Reed argued increass in the revenus of the company ter sales could be accurately com- puted by =2 system of | sons with the receipts of prevtnus | vears. He figured the ratio of increase {2t 58 per cent, but Clerk Booker said | that it would not be eo high, as ratios | would not bs a fair waf of arriving at | the revenues of the company. Reed want- | ed to calculate the receipts for the fiscal | year 1903-1904 on the ratio of increase men- tioned. Booker said he had already esti- mated what the revenue would be, but | Reed held that the estimate was not sat- isfactory, as it was based on no set rule. Booker said the Union Iron Works and | other carporations paid 12 cents per 190 | cubic feet for water, while the small con- sumers had to pay 35 cents. In reply to Reed, City Engineer Grunsky sald the prospective revenue of the company for the fiscal vear 1%03-1%04 would be $3,1%,928 | if the rates remain unchanged. Booker took issue with Grunsky, and declared the | | revenue would be only $2,035600.

YOKOHAMA, Feb. 18.—Prince Komatsu, who was the envoy of Japan at ths coro- nation of King Edward, has died of an affection of the brain. prea a young woman had him arrested for embezzling $20. He sent his artificial leg with a messenger boy to pawn it for $20 so that he could bail money, but the pawnbroker refused to comply with his request, although he had on other oc- ~casions advanced money on the artificial limb. The case at that time was dis- missed, as the girl was pald back the $20 and refused to prosecute him. | TRAINMEN PREPARING TO RENEW THEIR DEMANDS | The Extension of Tims Given the Railroad Company Expires on | Friday. Benjamin Beoze, contratting freight agent of the Union Pacific Company, re- signed that position yesterday to aecept | the appointment of chief clerk to R. H. Countess, chalrman of the Transconti- nental Freight Commission. George Lange, formerly with the Union Pacific at Los Angeles, has been appointed to the place vacated by Booze. The conductors and trainmen of the transcontinental roads are preparing to renew their demands for Increased wages. In December last the men asked for an advance of 20 per cent, which was | refused by nearly all of the roads that | are involved In the contention. A rew, among them the Gould roads and the | St. louls and San Francisco road, | finally agreed to give the freight conduc- | tors and trainmen an increase of 15 per cent and the passenger conductors and trainmen 12 per cent. When the emploves appealed teo the lccal officials of the Southern Pacific Company the latter took advantage of a clause in the working agreement, which provides that demands for increased pay must be preceded by a sixty-day notice. This time expires on Friday. Just what action will be taken by the Southern Pa- cific Company is a matter of speculation, although one prominent official said yes- terday that he believed that the company would concede the demands. —_———————— ‘Westhound Travel.
