HAHBIMAN WANTSIT
Will Ask for Front-Street
Franchise. .
M'CUSKER WILL APPLY
Kcqucst Will Be Made for Practical
ly the Same Route Which.
Sheridan Asks of the
City Council.
Xne Harrlman interests have at last
come out in the open, to all appear
ances today their contracting freight
agent. Thomas McCusker, will make ap
plication for a franchise down Front
street covering the same territory peti
tioned for by Thomas R. Sheridan, whose
application is pending.
Mr. McCusker has been busy for
rvral days Interviewing the ware
house, dock, mill and property-owners
along Front street and explaining to
tnem the purpose and scope of his
plans. He disclaims any connection with
the Harrlman people, but the sages
of Railroad Row argue differently.
The Contracting Freight Agent.
"Who is Tom McCusker?" one asks,
and the other answers: "Why. he is the
contracting freight agent of the South
ern Pacific. The Southern Pacific wants
this franchise for freight uses and
needs It badly to connect its East and
West Side lines. Mr. McCusker Is in the
emplcy of the freight department of
the Southern Pacific. Wherefore Mr.
McCuskor wants the franchise for the
Southern Pacific"
Thus It is figured out. Today, when
the Council meets. Mr. McCusker will
nnfnlri his Mian and nrescnt his peti
tion. He Ib confident of success, having
gone into the confidence of many of tne
prominent property-owners along the
street and having secured their promise
of support. He declares he is backed by
prominent business men.
Sheridan Is Confident.
On the other hand the people back of
the Sheridan franchise are confident
that theywlll be able to conform with
the objections which have been raised.
It Is said that changes have been made
so that there will no longer be the op
position on account of the crossings
near and on the grounds of the North
trn Pacific Terminal Company.
The franchise has also been changed
to allow the passage of cars from all
railroad companies over the tracks.
which will serve the same purpose. It is
urged, as though the city owned the
lino and operated it as a belt lino road
for the Joint use of all transportation
companies wishing to utilize It in the
transaotion of their buslnessr
The Sheridan franchise will not come
up for consideration by the Council at
the meeting today, according to the
present plan. It was not considered at
the meeting of the street committee on
Friday last and seems to be buried or
at least tucked away for future refer
enco.
HEALTH OFFICERS AVILL MAKE
INVESTIGATION.
Conditions in the Mongolian Quarter
Arc to Be Made Subject of
Rigid Inquiry. '
Some time next week City Health Offi
cer Matson and State Health Officer
Yenney Intend to take 2: trip through
Chinatown for the purpose of inspecting
existing conditions there. A few days ago
they together went through the Chinese
quarters with this object in view, finding
much that concerned the sanitary situa
tlon. and yesterday afternoon Dr. Matson
made some additional Inquiry along the
same lines.
It Is the intention to enforce rigidly
the cubic air ordinance, as well as other
measures affecting the pestilential status
of Chinatown, and it is thought the trip
of the two health officers next week will
be prolific of results. Contagious diseases
of nearly all kinds are known to exist
among the Chinese, on account of their
unsanitary habits, and It Is believed
nearly aft the malignant cases of small,
pox that have lately been reported to
the local Health Department, owe their
origin to thlse precincts of the city where
the Mongolians arc huddled In vile quar
ters like so many cattle.
Dr. Matson Is said to be an expert upon
the subject of bacteria, and some inter
esting results may be expected from his
Investigations along these lines.
BROWNSVILLE WOOLEN
MILLSTORE
Starts a Great $12.50 Suit Sale.
As the Fall season draws to a close
ive "find that we have manufactured
fully 2000 suite more than we will be
able to sell in the regular course of
business. We anticipated a larger trado
during the Exposition than what camo
to buy clothing, and now that the
season draws to a close, we must either
sell these suits at a. loss of profit or
carry them over until next year. W
have decided on the former, and to do
this in the quickest time we now offer
the pick and choice of any high-grade
suit in our store for only $12.50. These
suits are imiy worm tne regular re
tail pride of 15, 51C.50, $1S, $20, $22.G0,
525 and a few up to $30; froro now until
January 1 $12.50 takes the choice. This
is a bona fide sale. About "ha.lt the suits
are -made from the Brownsville pure
wool goods, the balance are hard fin
ished worsteds, including all the new
and popular silk mixed weaves. At
$12.53 these suits are a greater snap
than most people can realize, as most
qf them are made to cell at from $18 to
$22.50.
CORSET WONDERS.
Sales in corsets yesterday were enor
mous; - they will be larger today and
keep on increasing until the special
