10 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, MARCH 20, 1896. THE REDUCTION OF GRAIN RATES Attorney-General Fitzgerald on the Commission’s Powers. ESTIMATES NOT FAIR.| Accurate Information on Rail- road Operating Expenses Demanded. THREE DAYS OF HIS ARGUMENT Mr. Fitzgerald Has Talked Since Mon- day, and- Will Continue To-Day. Attorney-General Fitzgerald has occu- pied three days with his argument before Judge McKenna in the injunction suit of the Southern Pacific Railroad Compa; against the California Railway Comm sion, and he will continue to-day. Taking up the resolutions adopted by the Railway Commission to reduce the grain rates, the Attorney-General said that the railroad company treated them both in | the complaintas one and indivisible. They | are separate and distinct, however, and | were adopted on different days and by | different votes. The resolution of an 8| per cent reduction in grain rates was | adopted unanimously on September 12,3 and the proposed horizontal reduction of | 95 per cent was adopted on September 13 by a vote of 2 to 1. The railroad estimates of reduced rev- enue are not fair, being based on the as- sumption that the resolutions stand to- | gether. If we can show that the grain | rates are reasonable, that will end the matter, provided that we can show the resolution of the 25 per cent horizontal re- duction to be the expression of purpose when the Commissioners ficd on further investigation that they are right. All the averments as to the effect that the reduced rates have on the railroacd revenue are made on the personal knowl- edge of Mr. Huntington and not informa- tion and belief. In relation to the allegations of expendi- tures Mr. Fitzgerald held that the State | was entitled to a detailed statement, with- | out which it is m)yovible to determine whetber the rates are reasonable or unrea- | sonable. Improvements should not -be | charged on the account of operating ex- penses, as was done .in the testimony be- fore the Pacific Roads Commission. The record daes not show what the operating | expenses were. The Attorney-General returned to the | question of the validity of the leases, re- | plying to Mr. Herrin’s argument that the | roads must be treated as a system. The Southern Pacific Company comes into court as the agent of six Jeased roads. It does not own these roads. The position of the company is that if it has the right to sue at all it has merely the right of each of the leased roads—it has nothing more | than the right to act as agent of each. | 1f the leases had not been made each of | these companies would have been com- | pelled to resist the rates for itself. The fact of a road being leased to the Southern Pacific Company does not give it any new rights. There is no showing in the complaint | that any injustice is done to any one of these roads individually, nor otherwise | than as a part of the Southern Pacific sys- tem. My contention is that the Southern Pa- cific Company Tepresents these corpora- | tions inaividually and not collectively any | more than if the corporations were leased [ to several different parties. Judge McKenna asked whether the | lessees must not be regarded as conveying | present title-to the Southern Pacific Com- pany, and Mr. Fitzgerald again contended that the lessees could not legally operate | the roads except as individual roads. Combination of a direct nature would have been unlawful, and by any system of leases the combination cannot be legally affected, though the means be indirect. In answer to the question how the rates are to be established under the laws of this State, Mr. Fitzgerald said that it is by the preparation of a schedule of rates and the service of the schedule upon the railroad companies. The rates go into effect twenty days after the service of the sched- ule. The establishment of the rates is a legislative "act, not of a judicial nature. The means are prescribed by the constitu- tion and by legislative act, and nowhere in the constitution or the legislative act can be found authority for the adoption of such a resolution as this which we are considering. The resolution is not worth the paper upon which it is written. The standing of the Railway Commis- sion as a legislative body was discussed at length, and that subject was-under con- sideration at the hour of adjournment, Mr. Fitzgerald contending that the Rail- way Commissioners, as a legislative body, cannot be enjoined OUT IN SUNSHINE VALLEY, The Mechanics’ Institute to Build on Its Folsom-Street Lot. Senliment Strong in Favor of Improv- ing Property and Streets in the Districts. In addition to a high school, a public park,a Masonic temple and a boulevard on Folsom street the people of Sunshine Valley are going to have a Mechanics’ Pa- vilion before the year 1897 closes. E. A. Dericke, the recently elected presi- dent of the Mechanics’ Institute, in spea ing of the prospects of the institute build- ing on its lot on Folsom street, said it is tue intention ot the directors to proceed with the erection of a commodious struc- ture for the requirements of the organiza- tion just as soon as certain property lines are straightened out. The southeast irregular corner belongs to John Center, who has made an offer to sell it to the institute for about $6000. This sum was originally the amount for which it was bonded by David Kerr when he was one of the directors of the institute'some years ago, and about the time when the Foisom-street property was purchased by the Meckhauics’ Institute at a cost of $93,000. The interest and taxes paid upon the money and on the realty would bring the expenses up to about $125,000. he bone of contention seems to be the bed of the old Mission Creek, which is owned by the City. To acquire this the directors” of the Mechanics’ Institute sought to have the Supervisors, through Mayor Sutro, deed it to the society asa gift, inasmuch as the institute might be considered a quasi public associaticn. But this concession Mayor Sutro refused to accede to, but did agree that the property might be sold at public auction.to the highest bidder. This was done and it was bought by John Center for $6400, since which time no further action has been taken by the di- rectors to purchase thz entire fragment in order to give to the institute the entire biock. Mr. Denicke yesterday said: We anticipate no trouble in dealing with Mr. Center, and just as soon as he gets his titie from the City we will then be in a positien to give the building our attention. After we get started we will push it along to a finish. At the present time I could wsot sy as to the , but it would be safe to say it will cost all 00,000. We intend to put up a first-class building, as we will build with the intention of not again moving. Of course, I am in favor of improving the Mission, The property-owners of Sunshine Valley contributed by taxation more than their share to build up this City before the Western Addition was inhabited.” I am in for progress and improvementswhere they will do the most good. David Kerr expressed himself on the Froposed improvements in Sunshine Val- ey as follows: I am glad to notice in THE CALL that the peo- ple out in my side are getting on some speed CRUSHED BY THE FENDER Julia Peshon Horribly Mangled Under a Kearny-Street Electric-Car. | THE BOARD BROKE HER BONES. While Intoxicated She Reeled Across the Track and Is Now Dying in the Hospital. The unfenderéd electric-car caught an- other victim yesterday afternoon, and | from appearances it seemed last night | that this latest sufferer had not long to live. The accident occurred on Kearny street, between Broadway and Pacific, where a | car going down the incline mangled Julia Peshon, an unfortunate woman of ‘‘Bar- bary Coast.”” The woman may be blamed | for the accident, as she was intoxicated, but owing to the absence of a proper fender on the electric-car she was caught by the piece of plank hanging before the wheels and dragged about fifty feet, while I LIFTING T THE CAR THAT PINNED THE WOMAN TO THE EARTH. S5 now. We want not only Sunshine Valley but the whole City. I am in for good public schools first. Then good streets, and most assuredly & boulevard from the end of Folsom street out through the Mission, and _ending at the south side of Golden Gate Park. That is what the people want out in the valley. I am not so pronounced about buying the cemeteries for park purposes; we might get along without that park; but we cannot get along without schools and good streets. Ex-Supervisor Micab Doane, who lives on Twelfth street, is fully as much in favor of the proposed improvements in.the val- ley as though he was in the center of the sunshine belt. His ideas go still further, for he favors the Folsom-street boulevard with two out- lets—one te the park and one out_the San Bruno road to San Mateo. He said: As it is now we people who live on the south side of Market street and who own horses have very little use for ligiht buggies,because we have 10 pleasant streets or roads to drive on. Amd, again, some consideration should be given to the young people who have taken to the bicycle. They should have a street where they can amuse themselves as well as to ride in to their laces of business. At all events, the San Francisco people should wake up and put their City in metropolitan shape and throw off its village appearance. Don’t mind a few mills extra on taxation, bul improve the streets, build schoolhouses and beautify the parks. With such unanimity of sentiment in favor of belping the enterprising residents | of Sunshine Valley a rousing attendance may be looked for at the mass-meeting at Guerrero and Twentietn streets next Satur- day evening. b SILENT COMMUNTY, Deaf-Mutes Desire to Form a Colony Somewhere in Cali- fornia. The Strange Letter Received by the State Board of Trade From Towa. Manager Filcher of the State Board of Trade is in possession of a letter from John J. Thompson of Corning, Adams County, Iowa, asking information. about agricul- tural lands in this State, and where he would suggest as the best locality for the founding of a colony of people who intend to raise chiefly corn and poultry. The writer states the singular fact that his neighbors are all deaf-mutes, and that although they lack these two senses gen- erally supposed necessary in the acquisi- tion of wealth, they are still prosperous and happy. 5 1t is their desire, however, to emigrate to a country where the soil is more prolific and the climate more genial than it is in Iowa. “We must be near a running stream,’” the letter states, “and ona soil specially adapted to the raising of corn.” Beside the raising of ccrn the silent community also contemplates gardening. “Tbis letter,” said Mr, Filcher, “was for- warded to me by Superintendent Wilson of the Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb near Oakland. It is one of the most sin- gular communications I have ever re- ceived, and I believe there isa good deal in it, too. A class of people of that kind could not help doing the State good by their industry. There are splendig locali- ties for the raising of corn and poultry along the Sacramento and the San Joaquin rivers. “I have taken the matter so seriously that I hdve sent to the writer circulars of the localities best suited for them, and I have mentioned their desire to several real estate men who will tell them - more defi- nitely as regards prices and location. *'A colony of deaf-and-dumb ople helping to develop the resources of Cali- fornia would be a good lesson of industry and thrift for some who possess all their g:;-,ulysies and yet allow their hands to lie idle. % —_———— 3 The deer parks in England exceed 300. The largest in the kingdom is Windsor, her legs and one arm were frightfully broken and her head battered and ¢rushed against the cobbles. John Floris, a saloon-keeper on Kearny street, opposite where the woman was run down, saw her about a minute or two pre- | viously to the accident coming out of a sa- loon at the corner of Kearny street and ;andwny. “She was very drunk,” said Floris, ‘‘and she seemed to be in a fight- | ing humor. 1 took no notice of her fur- { ther until I saw her taken from beneath | the car.” Other people on the block said they saw Mrs. Peshon stagger across the street, and | when electric-car 1112 turned round the corner from Broadway, she shook her tled her with the bell. The motorman, Henry Baumeister, said that the moment he saw her he put on the brakes and cut off the current; at the more. The car could not be stopped sud- denly on that grade. so it rushed against the drunken, gesticulating woman and knocked her down. After a distance of fifty feet had been traversed the car came to a stop, and then a crowd tipped it up, trucks and all, on one side, while others extracted the injured woman. track, where in the rolling and mangling she had left a trail of blood. A carriage was procured and in it the unfortunate woman was removed to the City Receiv- ing al. Drs. Burrell and Rinne examined the wounds and said that she had sustained two fractures of both legs and fractures of the right arm and severe wounds of the scalp, ears and chin. She was removed to the City and County Hos- pital in the afternoon. Baumeister surrendered himself and was released on his own recognizance by Judge Low, after being charged with battery. He said that the woman staggered upon the track and defied him. He was nowerless ‘to stop the car and at that point it was impossible to do anything to save her. 'his occurrence is the third serious ac- cident on_the new electric iine within a block of Kearny and Broadw: It was the wooden bar that saved the victim from being killed outright, though it did crush her horribly. Quite recently Manager Vin- ing of the streetcar company stated that the plain board ‘‘fender,”’ as he called it, was the best he could find anywhere. WILMERDING'S - SCHOOL. The Merchants’ Associatio;l Is Asked to Take an Active Hand. ) The Association Is Very Rapidly Ex- tending Its Circle of Mem- - bership. The Merchants’ Association is gradually extending its circle of membership, and bids fair to comprise at least 1000 firms of this City. . At the regular meeting of the board of directors yesterday morning applications for membership were received from the following parties, all of whom were unani- mously elecied: H. M.

In the matter of the directory for the new City Hall, the report of the action of the Board of Supervisors in authorizing the merchants to place the. directory throughout the hall at an expense of §125 was read. The committee also called the attention of the board to the cbjections to this made by the City Hall Commission- ers, and it was decided that a communica- tion be at once forwarded to the City Hall Commissioners, asking them to state what objections they may have to such an un- dertaking. The association is trying to devise some means by which the sweeping of the street may be hauled to the park until the electric roads are in such condition that they may do this work. The park has not received any of these sweepings since the spur track was removed -from it. The as- sociation is also endeavoring_to secure the use of a vacant Jot in me%Veu!ern Addi- tion located so that the sweepings may be hauled there by the present contractors and afterward hauled from this lot to the park by the Park Cominissioners at their expense. ¢ 5 A letter from Ernest Adam, engineer in charge of street and sewer work of Newark, N.J., was read. It stated that streets there were cleaned for twenty-five cents a mile, the average width of the streets being thirty-six feet, and the bulk of the work being done by sweeping-machines. The city of Newark laid nearly a million dollars worth of paving and built 67,800 feet of sewers in the past year. A communication was read from W. J. Pollard of the Citizens' League, New Orleans, desiring that the association for- ward a cop® the new City Charter, as New Orleans proposed to get a new charter also. H. M. Wooley sent a communication in the interest of the Wilmerding school site, which was referred to a special committee. Mr. Wooley stated that the present status of the matter was that Oakland, Alameda, Berkeley, Stockton and San Jose have raised purses for the buying of certain lots and have offered any lots the Board of Regents might select. So far the choice of the regents has been a tract of land lying between Oakland and Berkeley, known as ‘‘Ayala Park,” as re- ported by their committee on sites. In the course of several interviews with some of the regents of the university, | while seeking to advance the interests of San Francisco, he hasllearned that the only way for this City to gain the Wilmerdins School will be for the active public-spirite citizens here to take the matter in hand, as the men of Oakland and other places have done, and raise a purse and buy a block tbat will suit the regents. Some four or five sites have been offered | to the regents for this school, at prices rang- ing from $60,000 to $100,000 each, that would swit them for this purpose if bought and presented to them. Now the amount nec- essary for -the purchase of one of these blocks could be raised inside of thirty days from the time the work was begun. The writer closed, saying: As soon as you take the matter in hand you | will find that you will be aided by every news- vaper in the City both by handsome cash sub- seriptions and by their columns. This is not mere supposition ou my part, for 1 have the ‘| promise of substantial aid from one or two of the leading papers of the City. Inaddition you will have the assistance of ifie Mechanics’ Institute, the Chamber of Commerce, the Board of Trade and other representative and influen- tial bodies who are already interested i this matter. 0GSBURY’S SAD FAMILY.

Charges That Loui Quong Had Dong Sun Yet Photographed in a Chinatown Gallery. Wong Sam took the witness-stand and briefly told the story of his life in United States Commissioner Heacock’s court yes- terday. He is a very ugly-looking Celes- tial, but an exceptionally bright one. His English is remarkably clear. It was in that tongue that he related his connection with the landing of Dong Sun Yet, the pretty Chinese girl brought here to follow a life of shame in Chinatown, but rescued by the missionaries and now held by the customs authorities pending deportation. Wong Sam is foxy and therefore a dan- gerous fellow. For years he has prowled about the Custom-house, hobnobbed with attaches of the Chinese Bureau, trafficked [in slave girls and grownrich and powerful. Therefore he was once regarded as a dan- gerous person to toy with and the Custom- house ring set out to destroy him; but Sam is still very much alive and will figure as the chief witness against *‘Dick” Wil- liams, the inspector now under the ban of the Treasury Department, and whose con- nection with certain alleged irregular transactions is being inquired into by the United States Grand Jury now in session. The startling testimopy which Attorney Dibble, for the defense, secured was to the effect that Dong Sun Yet had had two sets of photographs taken—one in China and the cther in this City. This fact was pretty clearly established by the evidence of profe:sional photographers, who gave it as their opinion that the paper used in the Chinese print was never employed by | photographers in this country. William Shew, the Kearny-street photographer, testified to this effect. Gee Chong Poo, a Chiness photograpber, gave similar evi- dence, and these were also the statements of two Chinese who had seen Loui Quong, interpreter of the Chinese Bureau, take Done Sun Yet into a photograph gallery in Chinatown. Wong Ngow testified that Jew Shee or Fai Ho had told him she did not get the | picture from Wong Sam, but that a white poy had given it to her. This is the picture supposed to haye been taken in China- town. Wong Sam testified that he had lived in this country twenty-six years. He had at different times conducted stores at Port- land, Or., Tucson, Ariz., and at Los An- geles. He said that he had nothing to do with bringing Dong Sun Yet to this coun- try. He tad not been at the'Mail dock in sixteen months, and therefore could not have been at the steamer to meet the girl. He had heard the testimony of the wit- nesses charging him with importing the woman in’question, but he entered an emphatic denial of all the evidence that in any way implicated him: He said he had RIVAL CHINESE "/ / INTERPRE TE SOME OF THE CHARACTERS (N THE WONG SAM CASE. [Sketched from life by a “Call” artist.] Ogsbury, living at 105 Stockton streer, room 76, was said by-a neighbor to be without any means ot subsistence for her- self and her two young children. ‘When the case was investigated Mrs. Ogsbury was found to be a very suverior woman, whose husband had formerly been a printer in comforrable circumstances at Los Angeles. He had invested ail his savings in a mining town in Arizona, and, the mines having petered out, his prop- erty became worthless. The family re- moved to this City where, in spite of all his efforts, the husband was unable to get work. Last Monday he left for Cripple Creek on the promise of securing employ- ment. He took two of the children with him, but had nothing to leave for the rest of the family. . ; The Associated Charities, when General McComb reported the case, provided yes- terday for the immediate necessities of Mrs. Ogsbury and her children. ————————— Louis Sternberg’s Case. The case of Louis Sternberg, charged with falsely registering David Newman. went over until Tuesday next on account of the absence of David Newman and Samuel Newman, the principal witnesses.

You were the attorney.” This society was broken up by the police. District Attorney Slessinger thought it advisable not to go into the character of the witness and no_ further questions in this direction were asked.

Johnson, a iarmer living a few miles east of Honey Grove, Tex. His muleship is exactly 1814 hands, or 6 feet 2inchesin heigbt, being exactly 73{ inches higher than the famous Los Pecos (old Mexico) mule, which was so widely advertised in 1890-91 as being “the most gigantic specimen of the mule family the world has ever known.” The Honey Grove mule is not slim and raw- boned, but is built in proportion to his height, weighing 16.9 pounds.

Brown of 2 Leeds street, Dorchester, Mass., whose picture is given above, wrote the 5th of this month as fol- lows: “Four or five years ago I suffered with dreadful pains in my back (owing to my kidneys),so much so that night after night I could notclose my eyes,and what few hours sleep I did get I could be heard moaning and tossing, showing that even in my sleep I suffered pain.

SALMON ARE: INCREASING Report of the Fish Commission Shows a Growth of the Industry. Fresh-Water Fish Transplaited From the East Have Done Remark- ab’y Well. Secretary Babcock of the State Fish Commission has prepared the annual re- port of the commission for the year 1894-95, showing an interesting array of figures, from which the amount of fish taken from the rivers of the State in the past year over the year previous is shown | to be exceedingly in excess. The report was prepared directly from the books of the wholesale firms who keep such accounts in the City. Of the sixteen firms who deal by wholesale only two have no records to show the amount of fish re- ceived. The statement of salmon handled in pounds shows that in spite of the enor- mous gain in salmon fishing this year this variety is on the increase in the Sacra- mento River. In 1893 2,453,446 pounds were taken; in 1894 2,554,609 pounds, and in 1895 2,713,458 pounds, showine a gain in_1895 ot 158,849 pounds over 1894, and this even though the open season of 1895 was one month less than the yvear before. . If 413,340, the amount taken in the same month of 1894, were added to the excess in 1895, it would show 562,189 pounds as an increase over 1894, showing also that the efforts of the commission are meeting with excellent success. Striped bass show a very great increase. They were first introduced in 1879, then 150 fingerlings were put into the San Joa- quin_Kiver. was 252,177 pounds. The striped bass is now one of the most desirable fish in the San Francisco market, and is sold as cheap here in every month in the year as in the New York markets. Shada, carp and catfish show a falling off on the aealers’ books in the last two years for the reason that now the majority of these fish are taken from the San Fran- cisco and San Pablo bays and are seld for spot cash at Fisherman’s wharf. As a consequence no entry 1s made on the books, although Mr. Babcock is certain that the amount. taken from the waters compares favorably with previous years. The totals for the four varieties of fish is as foliows: Striped bass—1893, 79,738 pounds; 1894, 144,754 pounds; 1895, 252.177 pounds. Shad—1893, 405,391 pounds; 1894, 269,379 pounds; 1395, 146,399 pounds. Carp — 189: ,084 pounds; 1894, 42,580 pounds; 189: 64 pounds. Catfish—1893, 36544 pounds; 1894, 31,465 | pounds; 1895, 32,282 pounds. T e L e ‘Where Ben Franklin Wore His Wig. The difficulties encountered recently by the lineal descendants of that great man, statesman, patriot and everything else that men properly hold in estimation— Benjamin Franklin—in having themselves enrolled among the Colonial Dames, recall an anecdote of him, which, so far as I know, has never been publi<hed. ‘When about to present himse]fi for the first time at the court of Versailles he was informed by the master of ceremonies that a wig was a sine qua non.
