etated-'to the committee that it would
be 'lmpossible for tlie United Railroads
\u25a0to build power plants within the'time
prescribed if it had millions of dollars
,at its disposal, which it lias not. Black
alsp said 0 that the hills in certain sec
- tions of the city make it impracticable
to operate a fender within 2 inches of
the rails. • He said that the company
was 4 putting forth every energy to min
imize, accidents and that It was daily
Sricreafiing;the : ~cars in service. Black
said that -45.0 ; cars are being operated
daily, an increase of 1 50 -.within the past
' few-nionChs. He concluded by saying
that the speed' limit^placed on the cars
would- prove 'unsatisfactory and cause
general complaint, as , the- cars would
o not travel fast'enough" to suit the pub
lic -o. •
Sullivan In support of the ordinance
pr^fentcd a statement . showing that
during, the year. ISO 7€S persons were
kill'd .outright or died from injuries
received from streetcars of the city.
These -fatalities and accidents, he said,
were. due to the overcrowding of carp,
inrrease of speed, carelessness of car
men, absence t of v fenders, .defective
brakes and appliances and incompe- ]
tency of employes.' '
TO LEAVE CLEAR DECK

PRUNE KNIGHTS AND
PEACH DOGS OFFEND
Change in Method of Adver
tising California Is
Demanded
FILCHER TO BLAME
Promotion Committee Ob
jects to His Singleness
of Mind
The California Promotion .committee
has entered a protest against the Ideas
qf J. A. Filch«*r. secretary of the state
agricultural society., as exemplified in
the prune knights and walnut elephants
that Have been the star feature of the
California exhibits at the various ex
pofvitipns. and suggests that in the
Alaska-Tukon-Pacific exposition the
zoological idea be abandoned and more
modrrn methods employed.
The appropriations are in charge of
Eilchcr and Frank Wiggins, secretary
of the Los Angeles chamber of com
merce. The prune knights, walnut ele
phants and peach dogs which have rep
resented California at every exposition,
originated In the brain of Filcher. Orig
inally they interested children and
caused a little \u25a0 comment among the
adults, many of whom believed that the
chief industry of. .the" state was gluing
together walnuts and peaches and
prunes to represent animals. Filcher
was. proud of his idea, and the prune
knights and walnut elephants repre
sented California again.- As the years
passed' other methods were employed
by other states, but Filciier hung on to
the prune knight and the walnut ele
phant witli the tenacity of a bulldog. to
the coat tails of, a burglar.
During the last few years various
efforts have been made to dislodge Fil-
cher and Wiggins, but without success.
Gubernatorial mirnis seemed to be
pleased with the elephants and knights,
and Filcher kept the job and the idea.
When $100,000 was appropriated for the
St. Louis exposition it was the under
standing that Filcher and his menagerie
would not have* anything to do with
this state's exhibit. Pardee, then.gov-'
ernor, agreed and Filcher was ousted—
to be reappointed when 'the appropria
tion had been made. The knight and
the elephant once more represented
California and Californlans at the ex
position muttered savagely. William C.
Ralston, president of the board of
trustees of the state mining bureau, re-"
signed when Filcher was reappolnted.
**I *'- hope,*' '-'. said Ralston yesterday,
"that the work of the California Promo
tion committee in protesting against
the worn out ideas of Filcher will
awaken the people. of the state to the
stupid manner in which our resources
have been exhibited. I consider Filcher
thoroughly Incompetent and have not
hesitated to tell him so personally. The
mining exhibit at St. Louis, to b.e inele
gant, was 'rotten.* "
Now comes the California Promotion
committee with an emphatic protest
against childish exhibitions.. The prune
knight, it suggests, should be. buried
and the peach dog relegated to the
pile of sorrowful memories.. In order
to promulgate its views the 'committee
has sent to each newspaper, and each
commercial body in the state a circu
lar getting forth the proper kind of ex
hibition by which the state should be
represented in Seattle in 190?. The cir
cular contains the following:
Toe comtnltt^ sd-rocates that a ' bnildiat;
tjpleally I'aiifornian .be erected .in Seattle.- in
which building; all the peoplp of' tb«- stat»-will
harp recognition. Tberr sboold b* on exbibltioa

as scenes of Calif onsia's industrial life; In fact.

state, accessible to all comer*. \ In addition to
this a lecture ball of jrood proportions, where
lectures on California tt ill be constantly piren

that it would be useful for large receptions and
satherinrc It i» notable that «t other ex
ponitioos the state bnildlngs where the main
feature ««\u25a0 receptions were the jnost popular.
With such an exhibition it is believed
the erroneous ideas regarding the state
which were created by the continued
display of the. prune knight and the
walnut elephant will be eradicted. •
the following sums: Pacific Coast con
struction company. $13,269.4". for work
on Sixth street sewer; J. J. Dowling, 75
prr cent of his claim for 16,116.64 for
paving Harrison street; C. S.-Harney,
?2,257.57 for paving Fourth street; City
Street Improvement company. $3,533.34
for paving Fourth street between How
ard and ; Channel' and' ?3,37B.79 for. pay
ing A'alencia street between Eighteenth
and Nineteenth, and Healy & Tibbitts,
52,797 for sewer -work In Baker street.
A claim presented. by Flinn.& Treacy
for $1,118.47 was rejected. The firm
had a contract to construct a sewer .in
Pacific street, and had only, commenced
the work of excavating. when disaster
overtook the city. They .subsequently
completed their, contract, and the claim,
presented yesterday was for removing
debris from the street to permit them
to complete the';sewer". The committee
decided that the city was ohly liable
for" the sewer .work and not for the re
moval of the debris, as it had not been
ordered .by the supervisors.
Bills for automobile hire-for-city,-of
ficials, aggregating $2,745.30, were 'or
dered paid. \u25a0
The health and police; committee di
rected that.A.. Paladin!, who hasa con
tract with the city to furnish ' fish to
thft. city and county hospital, pay. a
claim presented by : the- "Western, fish
! company. : Some time, ago. fish. sent' to
the city and county hospital was .found
to be unfit for 'use and. a. supply was
purchased from the 'Western'fish'com
pany at 12% cents -per -pound,, while
Paladinl'a contract price '\u25a0 is 4 U : cents.
The committee d<?cided:that Paladini is
responsible for the -bill," and; not :the

by t which financial '-legislation; shall
