United Railways Cferafany Practically Given This Ultk
. matum by the Council Protest Against Hauling
" ' ' Freight on' Certain Proscribed Streets. ff: ,
.f V:--.v--:.r,. , .,
"Tier 1 man a slip betwixt tha cup
' And tha lip." and tha United Railways
company will probably lose It franohlM
, which cornea up foi final consideration
br tha council tomorrow afternoon un
less .tha company officials can aire
tha councilman ton binding assurance1
that it will discontinue Ita practice of
hauling- freight on Twelfth, Flanders
and Stark streets, as alleged by the
councilman. ' .
. According to tha terms of the fren-
. chiie the company Is not permitted to
nsui i ireigni over Biara street Between
Front and Twelfth streets. While the
franchise Is not effective and binding,
yet It was supposed by the oouncllmen
that tha company would ahow Its good
Intentions by living up to the terms of
.the proposed franchise. Councilman
Drlscoll says that this hss not been
done and that the company has repeated
' ly hauled freight and left cars standing
on these streets.
City Attorney Kavanaurh ' notified
lawyer Emmons, attorney for the com-
fiany," that It would have to desist la
ts praotlce. . This the attorney prom
ised to attend to. . , ;,
I -v. DrlsooU oa Warpath., -v
However, other representatives of the4
.company made tha same promise to the
councilman -in the various committee
meetings at which tha franchise was
considered. Inasmuch as these prom
isee have been broken, say tha council-
men,' they will have an understanding
with the company's officiate tomorrow
before giving their final approval to
the measare. v .
This matter has been a bone of con
tention between Drlecoll and the com
panv for several months and Inasmuch
as the councilman Is one of tha atrong
members of the majority party of the
council hie contentions will go a long
way In deciding whether , tha company
will receive tha final stamp of approval
on the franchise coming up tomorrow.
Anotner Item OI inwrw auouv mm
franehlM of the United Hallways com
pany that has been overlooked is the
fact that the ordinance doea not permit
the comnanv to run Its line down 6ev
enth street, giving It a terminus at tha
Union depot .
Balls Were All Beady. .
This Is a matter of surprise to tha
property owners along the street be
cause It waa fully expected that this
part of the line would be , Installed.
That the company was also confident
or securing this treat was snowa wnen
workmen placed rails along the curb
ing from Taylor street to the depot.
After lying along the street for tnany
weeks the rails were removed and hauled
away. Why the change waa maae nas
not keen revealed, but the franchise
does not grant the company right-of-
way along Seventh street. '
The franchise will be un before a
sneolal meetlne- of the council tomorrow
afternoon and while It Is expected that
such assurances will be given the ooun
cllmen that tha company will live up to
tha terms or tne measure an regard to
tha street which
v bean specified there Is every as
ranee that warm arauments will be
made by several of the councllmen
against granting tha franchise until
uch expressions have been made by
tha company officiate.
Arter tne council gets tnrougn witn
the franchlss It will be passed to Mayor
Lane. While the mayor Has not ex
pressed himself In regard to the fran
chise It 1 believed that he will have a
few recommendations to make before
he signs it The city executive board
airei
has
of
ready assessed the valuation
the franchise at 117, S00, and the meas
ure has been advertised according to
tne provisions or tne city charter.
FOUR JAPANESE BOYS BEATEN
BY TWO WHITE YOUNGSTERS
Judge Oantenbeln yesterday after
noon heard tha story of a race war. It
was on a small scale, but It has had
all tha earmarks of the real thing, for
there was nothing antagonistic between
the combatants except the color of their
skin.'
Those engaged In tha battle. In which
fists only were used, .were two white
boys and four Japanese. Although out
numbered four to two, the champions of
tha Caucasian race came off victorious.
Tha scPne of the battleground waa near
the Atkinson school, where the Japs at
tend. From the Investigation made yester
day It appeared that the white boys
teased the Japs, and after hard names
had been bestowed diplomatic relation
were broken and hostilities opened.
The boys were allowed to go after tap
ing warned that the war Is over, and
must not be renewed.

Chicago, April 11. A trlk of com
mission teamsters will begin next week,
unless the council of the unions and ex
ecutive committee of the drivers' local
receive encouragement by Monday In
their attempts to obtain better condi
tions or increased wages.
If a strike Is ordered 650 drivers of
wagons in the trade of South Water
street, which controls the city's supply
of vegetables, eggs and butter will quit
their wagons and ask their fellow team
sters to stop the tratfio of tbe market.
A general strike with the . riotous
scenes of the bia- strike of 190S and
interference with the trade of the entire
city is threatened. On this account
every effort Is being made by those
most interested to prevent the strike.
At a meeting of the council tonight,
the drivers' committee was allowed dis
cretion to act. Hope of the avoidance
or a striKe lies in the conservative na
ture of a majority of the committeemen.
The men are getting $16 a week.
They demand $17 a week, and the adop
tion of rules that will prevent reduc
tions by "splitting" routes and discharging-
old men and hiring others at
a reduced beginner's wages.

Boston, April 11. In the probate
court Monday there will begin one
of the most remarkable will contests
ever undertaken before the Massa
chusetts Judiciary. Edward F. Ba
ker is trying to break the will of
his brother, Walter Farnsworth Ba
ker, who died in Bogota, New Jersey,
from poison, it is alleged. Edward
Baker alleges "improper and insuf
ficient execution of the will, mental
incapacity and' undue Influence.'"!.
By this will. Walter Baker dis
posed of an estate valued at about
1500,000. He left $5,000 to his
brother, (10,000 to Mrs. Helen Gray
Hurd, at whose house he died, and
the rest of the estate he ordered di
vided into three parts. I
Harvard college was to get one
third, Natalie Hurd, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hurd, one third,
and the remainder was to be divid
ed between his minor nephews, Rob
ert Keith Baker and Robert Monroe
Baker. Natalie Hurd died soon af
terward and her share of the estate
reverts to her parents.
The members of the Hurd family
are registered at the Hotel Belle
view. Attorneys are making plans,
it is apparent, that the whole story
of Baker's death will be gone over
in probate court. Sensational tes
timony, it is promised, will be In
troduced and facts surrounding Wal
ter Baker's death will be laid hare.
