I.ano Says Council Can Control Sit uation Only by Passing More Definite Measure. In a communication to the City Coun cil yesterday morning, transmitting- a re port of the Railway Commission relative to a recent accident at Fourth and Sher .t.ii hpn a Southern Pacific engine hit and demolished a trolley car, Mayor Lane staiea uiai, in ins upuuuw, the franchise under which the corpora tion operates on Fourth street is void because it haa no time limit. He 'urged the Council to repeal the ordinance under which the company is acting and give it another and more stringent franchise if it is deemed wise to permit the operation of trains at all on that thoroughfare. The letter waa referred to the committee on Judiciary. In his letter, the Mayor, referring to the franchise, aaid: It is without a time limit in its terms, and for this reason is by its representa tives claimed to be gifted with perpetual life, which would seem to be an uncom monly long period of time for It to live and would be a gift of such nature In that respect thaf it could only emanate from the Supreme Being, who would be guilty of no such folly." Mayor Lane calls attention to the prob lem of people living along the present West Side line, saying: The question as to whether the city desires or can afford to cut itself off from communication with the country and peo ple to the west and south of It is another matter, but the fact that the present method of the conduct of this railway la both a source of danger and a nuisance is beyond any question." Mayor Lane calls atention to the fact uia. in c"!'"' has absolute power over the Fourth-street line to the extent of ordering the company to remove its tracks, but he says he doubts this, and believes' that only by repealing the present franchise can the Council control the situation. The Coun cil passed an ordinance 18 months ago fixing November as the time for cessa tion of operation of trains on Fourth street, and it is the belief of members of the Council that It will be the duty of Mayor Lane and his Executive Board to enforce this ordinance when the time arrives. By his letter the Mayor clearly shows that he intends to force the Coun cil to this task. "The School Girl" at The Oaks. Ponte, lireen and Prager went big, as did "Have You Seen My Baby," by Mar guerite La Ponte and chorus. Other musical numbers, which are In troduced generously throughout the ac tion of the piece, were warmly received. Notwithstanding the fact that the hot weather is over. The Oaks shows seem just as popular as ever and yesterday"s audiences were unusually large. , Eyssell's, 28a Mor.. on. Corbett bldg. PERRY JACKSON, wizard of the brush and pen. is responsible for the bunTh of fun that will come up at The Oaks every night this week. Indeed, he Is responsible for the whole show, for it is he who, not only stages the perform ance but provides what comedy there is to this potpourri of really funny situa- "Tne School Girl" is the name of this week-s attraction In the Alrdome. There is a bunch of a dozen attractive chorus rlrls. who not only have locs but a number of lines that are really Interest ing to any audience. The male comedians captivate the crowds, and at last night s performance they were compelled to ap pear on the stage time and time again to reapond to the numerous encores. There is Just enough of a plot to hang any number of bright, catchy song hits on. and there is breexy. rattling dialogue that oases away the blues from the worst pessimist In the city. Winifred Green, the dainty schoolteacher of the bill, is Just as charming as ever, and this is praise enough. Always a high favorite at The Oaks, she scored her usual hit yesterday in the new bill.
