Reverting to the good accomplished by his part in the establishment of the direct primary law, politically known as the Wright-Stanton measure, the campaign managers for rhll A. 'Stanton, candidate for governor, are materially advancing the aspirant's popularity throughout the state.

The fact that Phil Stanton forced the passage of- the direct primary measure, at '1 tinio i (tfl ci 1 certain is oeing usea to great advantage. On the basis of results accomplished during Stanton's eight years in the California assembly, the Stajiton backers are obtaining widespread and effective publicity in the central and northern parts of the state. Dozens of interior newspapers are declared to be coming out In favor of the southerner. It Is pointed out by advocates of the direct primary measure that the first test of that law in California, which will be demonstrated on August 16, has been emphatically endorsed by former President Roosevelt, what recently took a decided stand in Nftw Vork stater in favor of direct primary legislation.

DIRECT PRIMARY USED IN BATTLE TO AHISIER ROADS Will Appear Monday Morning Before United States Judge Van Fleet. ACTION IS BASED ON OLD DECISION City Attorney Says He Is Not Worrying Over Outcome of the Case. ,9 SAN FRANCISCO, July 19.

City torney Long announced this mornlnj 1 that the board of supervisors and the other officials -concerned would be pre- pared Monday morningi to appear before United States District Judge Van Fleet and show cause why' the United Rail roads should not be granted an Injunc- tlcn restraining the municipality from selling the bonds fori the construction of the Geary street, rallw'ay. Late yesterday afternoon Judge Fleet denied the application of the Unit- ed Railroads for an injunction, and dt-' rected the municipal officials to appear on next Monday and show cause why the' restraining order asked for should not Issue. 'i' ON OLD GROUNDS. City Attorney Jx5ng says that the ed Railroads' complaint is drawn the same grounds as the suit filed for Horace G. Piatt, but that it goes further by alleging that thei grants of street (-railway franchises in 1879 gave the prlr vate interests a tacit assurance that they, would never be made to compete with" a municipal-owned road.

The city attorney declares that the corporation's case Is absurdly in this point, and he says he is not worry- 'r ing over the outcome of the pending ac-tlon. The he exnlained. will be argued along the lines of the case, tne piainun corporation going the theory, that a city cannot compete with a private corporation in Long says that this question has been settled time and again and that from the 7, standpoint of the city he has no doubt. as to the outcome if these injunction proceedings.

ORDINANCE IS ASKED TO REMEDY SITUATION Numerousccidents Recited in i Effort to Push the Request 'Through Council. A determiiied effort to place a ban upon the speed burner ami so Insure protection to. pedestrians is to be made by the dity if the expressions of opinion by members- of the city's legislative body, made at last night's are j-arried into effect.

The matter was brought out In connection with a petition, from'. the Elmhurst Board of Trade, presented to the council through Councilman R. C. Vose, asking that an ordinance be framed placing a minimum fin for; violating the speed limit, and raiding this minimum on a graduated scale for each succeeding offense. Numerous accidents of recent date resulting from reckless driving of automobiles were brought to the attention of the council, and the extensive ltst of violations of the speed limit which mark' the blotter In the police courts each week commented upon.

The eoun-eilmeh expressed themselves as- determined to stop reckless driving at any cost, and to provide, if necessary, for" the levying Of a fine as high as $300 for violation of the speed In taking, up the matter, the advice of Judge Mortimer Smith Of Police Court No. 1. was asked, and' it is possible' that In framing the ordinance suggestions will be made by him based on his experience In dealing with (the speed burners in court. REFER TO KILLING. The Elmhurst Board of Trade In presenting: Its- petition to the council, referred to the killing of Christian Gra-zlno by an automobile, last week, and 'enclosed a clipping from a newspaper showing that" the driver of the machine was violating several rules of the roadi and that after the accident, he made no attempt to assist his victim, but escaped 'without being arrested.

Reference alro nade to the persistent speeding of pleasure parties In the annexed district, where the drivers feel that they are freer the surveil- lance of the police. Councilman MT" R. Bronner spoke of the running down of a man on Seventh Ftreet recently, and of the reckless driving pf machines on streets carrying street cars and railways. lie asked that the matter be considered, seriously by council arid something done to miti- Orate the objectionable condition. The pe-tition Ifrom Elmhurst was finally referred to, the ordinance and judiciary committee; with a recommendation to frame a stringent ordinance covering thersltu-atian.

On the suggestion of Councilman Vose, T. C. Tillmanrepresenting the Elmhurst Board Trade, addressed the council, lie sail: i VICIOUS HABfT. "Complaint after, complaint lias been made residents of my district of the recklers and vicious habit of automobile drivers who drive at a breakneck late in the. annexed district, 'without Vcare for the danger to life and limb or of road vehicles.

They go at a terrific rate Of speed, and when arrested, th? small fine imposed Is but a joke to many of them. We have asked the police why the nuisance cannot be abated, and have been Unformed that while the present ordinance" places a.maximum of $310, no minimum for the offense Is specified, and a fine of $lr to $25 is imposed in court. This i we think is not enough to, curb this- nuisance." Councilman Elliot agreed that a heav-4 ler Sine should be imposed, especially for second ana third offenses. lie asked the advice of Judge Smith as to the possibility of imposing a minimum fine In the ordinance. Judge Smith said: MINIMUM DIFFICULT.

"Itj Is difficult to fix upon a minimum fine as being Just to aU. There are some cases in which emergency Is the real reas-on for the speeding, and it would be unjust to Impose a heavy fine in such a case. There are other cases in which the offense is accidental, and Is committed for the first time. Here also a limavy fine-would be unjust. There has been only one or a man being arrested twice for speeding that has come up In -my.

court, and the driver was finen Councilman Elliot complimented the Jurist on the amount of the fine and stated that ho was unaware that so large a penalty had been imposed in Oakland for this offense. 'lie suggested, however, that a few large fines might pert to discourage the speeders. If a few were used as an example Jn Oakland. TRAFFIC ORDINANCE. An ordinance, introduced some weeks ago.

and passed upon favorably in committee and by the city attorney, regulating traffic and care of vehicles, was ordered passed to pririt by, the council last night. Points not covered In it, may be taken up In the proposed anti-speeding' ordinance The petition from Elmhurst which raised the question is as follows: "To 'the Oakland CItv Council, Oakland.

-V FITCHBURG, July 19. At a joint meeting of the Fitchburg and Yocum Avenue Improvement clubs, In the hall of the former at the' corner of East Fourteenth and Gorge streets last night, a discussion which, started with the advantages of the proposed new commission form of government wound up in a lively discussion of the unjustness of the rates of taxation which have been levied in this dfstrict since the annexation. After Secretary A. A. Denison hffel been hartily aplauded in a talk iii which he outlined to the members of the club the work of the Chanber of "Commerce, of which he was the deputized representative, in the building of a "greater Oakland." and after Richard M.

Hamm, freeholder, and A. V. Sefton, secretary of the Central Labor Council, had both had the floor. President C. Borree of the Im-improvement club challenged if there was a representative of the city government present.

After prolonged silence and no movement on the part of the gathering he went on to saj that inasmuch as Oakland had prom-t lsed the people of Fitchburg before the annexation that the county-as sessed valuation of property woul4 be that accepted by the city for the next 5 years and inasmuch as In som cases the taxes had ben raised to aW most double within the last year the elu-b was desirous ofhaving tills interesting little knoj unraveled for them. i rxBrnPKNKD iikaut. As no representative seemed to be present for all of the fact that- It was understood that there would be someone, different members arose and unburdened themselves with a recital of the wrongs they had suffered since the annexation. It was shown in a great number of cases where the as-sesed value of property had ben considerably raised along East Fourteenth street, and one club member, N'. Chandler arose and waved In the air his receipt.

for personal taxes for the last two years, claiming that these had increased 100 per-cent. These were passed around examined untU they reached II. Kinjg, deputy for the city, who discovered that the last named document bore the- signature of his own name. In the confusion and cross talk which was going on he arose and finally made himself heard, and enlightened the plaintiff that the city-could not enter into any agreement on personal property taxes to run over a period of rive years. lie explained that this could apply only to real estate.

I.KOXAK1) EXPIi VIXS. XX this Deputy Assessor A. A. Leonard arose and explained why certain property values hail ben assessed, higher this year than last. He stated that It had ben found that properties on Fourteenth street stood the same assessment as those farther back, which were rated at a great deal smaller value, and that the city in changing the! assessed value of the Fourteenth properties were only endeavoring to equalize the taxes amongst the property owners.

Both King and Leonard said that they had dropped into the meeting without that any one was looking for their scalp, and had they known that they were running into the tangle they would have "steered clear" of the hall. The meeting ended in the best of feeling all -around. Hamm in a wellput talk explained his position and attitude towards the new charter, having been elected as one of the freeholders. He said that he was the nominee of the Union Labor Conference, but that when he met with the other fourteen freeholders who would bear in mind that he was serving primarily the interests of greater -Oaliland. AMALGAMATION OF.

IDEAS. UThe result of the work of the fres-holdero will be I believe, an amalgamation of the ideas of all of the members, which will be for the best, I think. I have in mind that the present charter is a worn out article and that as representing a progressive community the new charter will be better twenty years 'ahead of time rather than twenty years behind. The freeholders stand for progression and when they are drawing up the charter they will bear in mind the goal of the communities on this side of the bay, in an amalgamation of the bay cities into a city and county government. I am pledged to see that Oakland labor and industry ps to be given preference as much as is possible in public works." Secretary A.

A. Denison of the Oakland Chamber of Commerce talked along the same vein in putting forth the economic need of the city in patronising home industries. If the people would realize their dream of a greater Oakland. He pointed out the Cadantages of the city, its unexcelled climatic conditions that allow a man to do a good day's work without suffering from the extremes of temperature and enable him to come to work with the benefits of a good nisrht's I rest.
