11 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, MARCH 23, 1896. MONOPOLISTIC N EXTORTION, One but We Shall Rob Our Pa- trons. No THAT CIRCUS TWENTY. Positive Proof That the Road Has Lost Some | Money. FILLMORE GROWS PATHETIC. He Does Not Remember the Exciting Chase After the Circus Which Defaulted in Rent Money. It was too much for even the traffic of | the sea to bear and that is why the pack- | age of letters and telegrams was cast up on | the Lime Point beach a few days ago. | These letters were from high officials of | the greatest corporation in the State and dealt with all the diplomatic finesse of | which the $5000, $10,000 and $20,000 a year | salaried officials were capabie. Thev were | trying to recover the small sum of $20 gold | coin of the United States from a traveling circus which had paid the railroad com- pany a clear profit of $1086 for transporta- tion, the profit being more than 66 per | cent. | C. P. Huntington’s chase after that | acrobatic twenty cost the railroad com- | pany a good round sum. There were | neither telephonesnor typewriters in those days and letter postage cost 3 cents a half ounce. Writing-paper and ink were also dearer. Add to this the fact that Assistant Buperintendent Wilder and Secretary J. O'B. Gunn were obliged to spend several minutes of their valuable time and con- siderdble of the office stationery in writing to and fro to head off that $20 and it will be seéen that the company must have been out at least 15 cents in postage stamps and stationery and at least $2 for the time of Messrs. Wilder and Gunn. But this is not all. J. A. Fillmore, then the division superintendent at Sacramen- to, was written to concerning the flying | double eagle, and it is of tradition that he | expended an hour of his time, worth at | least $1, in trying to convince the skepti- cal circus man that his spangled traffic | could bear in addition to the $158 al- ready paid by the circus people. This dol- lar was added to the other items of ex- pense and placed in the profit and loss ac- count, and the item was no doubt tear- fully consulted by Mr. Huntington before he swore that his road was losing money. The bill of expenses runs something like | this: Profitand Loss. S. P Co. [of Kentucky.] Dr. to postage 3 letters. 800,000 09 Dr. to stationery and ink 06 Dr. to time of secretary J. | O Fun oL LSBT 100 Dr. to time of J. A. Fillmore 104 Dr. to time of A. D. Wilder...

There is a pathetic wail in the first let- ter because the circus slipped through Mr. ‘Wilder’s hands: CALIFORNTA PACIPIC RATLROAD f‘o.\w.\xv.g OFFICE OF ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT, SOUTH VALLEJO, Cal J. O’B. Gunn Esq., Secretary, .San Francisco— Dear Sir: Queen’s circus used our lot at Woodland for showing. I didn’t know of it until too late to ask Mr. Towne about charge and get reply before they left the road. Since then I have endeavored to have J. A. F., Sac., | collect 820 for me, but they refuse to pay, saying lot was included in con- tract. This Mr. Towne doesn’t so un- derstand. Will you have measures taken from general office to collect %20 on our account before they leave C. P. E. R.? Yours truly, A. D. WILDER, Asst. Supt. On the back of this letter Mr. Gunn, with an effort at economy which should entitle him to the first vice-presidency of the Southern Pacific Company, wrote: A. D. W.: We received $1586 for th transportation of this circus. Our ex. pense in doing 8o, at the most extrava- gant estimate, could not amount to more than 8500, leaving a very heavy margin in our favor, and I think it excessive illiberality to push them for this matter of 820 when they were such a benefit to us and to our intimate connection, the S. P. R. R. J. G. It will be observed that Mr. Gunn was | thinking of Collis P. when he wrote the ! foregoing letter, for, with rare presence of mind, he makes a considerable saving of ink by using the initials “A. D. W.” and | “J. G.” instead of the full names. He even | sacrifices his pride sufficiently to drop the | *0.” in his name and also the ““B.” afterit, | | June 5, 1875. which might stand for plain “O’Brien."” The letter, however. shows that Mr. Gunn was not a railroad financier. His | even intimating that the great corporation | had been guilty of illiberality and should sacrifice its dearest principle by being liberal to its patrons was a ‘confession that there was something out of kilter with his moral and mental make-up, and that he had actually commitied high treason | against that shiboleth of the corporation, “Thou shalt charge all that the traffic will | bear.” It was the first instance on record of the | kind, and it will be the last, for J. O'B. | | division. | 1t had not been from a reputable physician | Gunn is no longer on the roll' of the cor- poration’s employes, and is in the service of a corporation which has competitors and which does not charge all that the traffic will bear. $ Itis reported that when Mr. Wilder re- ceived Mr. Gunn's reply a cabinet meeting of the law department was promptly called, and on a session of the court being held en banc,an opinicn was handed down unanimously (at a cost of several hundred dollars in addition to the $315 already expended), to the effect that the whole power and machinery of the great corporation should be set in motion at once and the $20 should be collected even though it might be necessary to beard the lion in his cage. But to the dismay of the grief-stricken officials it was discovered that the circus had slipped out of the State and was off somewhere on another road. So, the loss was written in red ink on the wrong side of the ledger for future reference when it should be necessary to swear that the cor- poration as well as its traffic was losing money. Mr. Fillmore was shown copies of the letters yesterday and read them with much interest. After scrutinizing the hand- writing he did not deny theirauthenticity, but he seemed to be chiefly interested in explaining how it happened that the cor- poration, being a transportation company, was also engaged in the business of leasing circus rings, Punch and Judy shows and merry-go-rounds. He explainea that out- side parties sometimes asked exorbitant and prohibitive rents for circus grounds, and in such cases, to protect its patrons, the corporation allowed the circusand sideshows the use of a portion of its reser- vation where such use would not tend to T0 CINCH THE WHOLE COUNTRY. Rates. to Be Again Con- trolled by Transconti- nental Roads. ALL BROUGHT TO TERMS Huntington Shows His Hand in the Game Against the Pana- ma Railroad. IT WILL BE FORCED INTO LINE. Should Freights Be Advanced Too Far the Traffic Association Will Take a Hand. Collis P. Huntingt on has at last shown his hand in the contest he has been waging against the Panama Railroad ama route,’ and the line is entitled to just as cordial support now from the merchants of San Francisco as though the Panama Railroad Company were operating iis own steamers in the Pacific.” As the result of these strong usertiops made in the interest of the Panama Rail- road, the announceraent that it was about to become a party to a deal by which the merchants of this City, as well as those of the entire country, were again to be placed completely at the mercy of the Transcon- tinental Traffic Association, came with surprise as well as consternation. But the feeling of consternation goon gave: way to one of indignation End determination, as shown in an interview with W. R. Wheeler, a member of the firm of Holbrook, Merriil & Stetson, and a member of the executive committee of the Traffic Association of San Francisco. He said: **This move will only result in the mer- chants using the Horn routeas soon as this combination is effected. They will use the sailing vessels, and this action will also stimulate the establishment of an inde- pendent steamship line by way of _the Isthmus of Tehuantepec as described in a recent issue of THE CALL. ““We will rasist any attempt to increase rates beyond a reasonable point. If the Panama Kailroad Company becomes a perty to this deal, it will resultin the mer- chants of this coast never again putting any faith in the protestations of the Pan- ama Railroad that in any arrangement with the Southern Pacific Company they they would not lose there independence,but would always remain a genuine competi- tor of the transcontinental lines. Itis be- cause the Panama people have made such strenuous declarations of their independ- endanger its property. He did not know whether or not rent was charged. “In this particular case,” added Man- ager Filimore, “the circus was not on my It was at Woodland. The time was so long ago that I have no recollection of it. We are not in the business of leas- ing real estate,and we do it only for the purpose of protecting our patrons from extortion. We only rent for uses of trans- portation, such as lumber-yards, can- neries, fruit-drying establishments and the like.” Mr. Fillmore expressed the opinion that the statement that the letters were found on the beach was a fake, and that they had been obtained in some less remark- able way. There was a pathetic inflection in Man- ager Fiilmore’s voice when he spoke of the people who were trying to rob the circuses by charging them exorbitant ground rent. The tender solicitude of the railroad com- pany for its patrons and its fear that some one other than itself might rob them is enough to make one shed tears. Going from the presence of Manager Fill- more into that of J. O’B. Gunn was like jumping from Central America into the Yukon mines. Mr. Gunn was so cold when the subject was broached that the suspicion arose that he was loaded with compressed air. “I don’t wish to make any statement,” he said. “The matter is too trivial to remem- ber. It'sa piece of foolishness. Even if it was true, THe CALL is wrong, for if the railroad wanted all that the traffic would bear it would have got that $20 from the circus. It’s too far back, anyhow, to talk about. Ail the men who owned the road then are dead, except one.” By this time Mr. Gunn was on the front porch and his visitor was balancing on the balustrade. “Why go back to ancient history? Ttis not any issue to-day,” proceeded Mr. Gunn in icy tones. The visitor pulled up the collar of his overcoat and fled shivering down the street. SENTENCE POSTPONED. C. A. Bailey, the Druggist, Is Suf- fering From Severe Nervous Prostration. Charles A. Bailey, druggist at Grantave- nue and Sutter street, who was convicted by a jury in Judge Campbell’s court on Friday of selling morphine without a octor’s prescription, was to have been sentenced Saturday morning, but he failed to appear. ‘When the case was called Attorney Len- non handed the Judge a certificate from Dr. Garwood, to the effect that Bailey was confined to his bed from nervous prostra- tion and he asked for a continuance till Wednesday next. The Judge studied the certificate for a minute or two, and then remarked that if he would have issued a bench warrant for Bailey’s arrest. He wanted no unneces- sary delay and refused to grant a continu- ance till Wednesday. Attorney Lennon said he proposed to ask for a new trial. The case of Otto Jackson, clerk in Car- roll’s drugstore, on Stockton and Market streets, charged with a similar offense by Mrs. Sarah McConnell, was transferred to Judge Conlan’s court. Mrs. McConnell said yesterday that she would endeavor to have Bailey indicted for perjury by the Grand Jury in swearing that she presented to him a preseription for the morphine signed **Morrison, M.D.” As soon as the court stenographer has transcribed the evidence she will procure a copy and take immediate action. e e It takes about three seconds for a mes- sage to go from one end of the Atlantic cable to the other. Highest of all in Leavening Power.— Latest U. S. Gov't Report Rl Baking Powder ABSOLUTELY PURE Map of the District Formerly Called San the City in Which Titles Are Clouded by the Noe Suit. «+ Miguel Rancho, Showing the Section of through the medium of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, and from appear- ances it is one that is destined to win to the injury of every merchant in the coun- try who has any occasion to ship a pound of freight. 1n fact the victory of the Cali- fornia railroad magnate will be a cinch on the whole country. Ever since the contract between the Pa- cific Mail Steamship Company and the Panama Railroad - Company was signed last December, which provided for a traffic arrangement between the two carriers on through freight between this City and New York, C. P. Huntineton has been cut- ting rateson the Southern Pacific Railroad and using that line in such a way asto prevent the contract between the compa- nies mentioned from being of any benefit to the Panama Company. In otheravords, he first placed the Panama road where it could be held by his Pacific Mail Company in a helpless position while he proceeded to give it a metaphorical drubbing with his Sunset road, until it- was ready to forego its much-vaunted independence and become a party toany deal that might be determined upon by the transconti- nental lines for the purpose of increasing their revenues by a general advance in rates. From dispatches that have just come from New York it appears that the Pan- ama Company has now become amenable to the discipline of Mr. Huntington, and isto enter into an arrangement whereby it is to r-ceive a subsidy that will make its dependence on the wnims of. Huntington, and the other railroad magnates bearable and prove somewhat of a compensation for the loss of public confidence that 1s certain to result from this proposed com- bination. According to one of the dispatches the old Transcontinental Traffic Association is about to be reorganized in New York and is to become a factor in the readjustment of freight rates on the 1st of April. Among other things it is proposed to re- store the old allowance of $72,500 a month by the railroads to the Panama route car- riers. For this sum the steamers of the Panama route are to reserve space for 600 tons of through freight on each voyage. Under ifs contract with the Pacific Mail Steamship Company the Panama Railroad Company will receive 55 per cent of this proposed subsidy. At thetime when the agreement between the Panama Railroad Company and the Pacific Mail was first made public here E. H. Hinton, representing the Panama peo- plein this City, in the courseof an inter- view in Tne CALL, speaking in bebalf of his company, said: Iam aware that there is a very general con- viction among the merchants that the Panama railroad has surrendered “horse, foot and dragoons” to the transcontinental rail in- terests, and that henceforward it will retire. from the carrying of any traffic in competition with said lines. In view of the fact that this conviction has absolutely nothing in the actual conditions to sustain it, it seems quite remarkable that it should be so univer- «al. The Panama Railroad Company has no intention of abandoning the coastwise traffic between the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of the United States, and there is nothing in the new contract which cen or will be permitted to in- terfere with its maintaining a close and active identity with that traffic. “The Panama Railroad has not sold out nor surrendered, and its interest in transconti- nental traffic is not one whit less keen than it has been during the past three years. To quote the language of our president, J. Edward Simmons, the Panama officials, in formulating the contract, ‘made it ‘an indispensa- ble condition, that the Panama Railroad should. be kept open as an independent and active competitor of the transcontinental lines.” One of the most marked features of the new agreement is the strong guarantee it af- fords of the perfect independence of the ‘Pan- ence that I am inclined to doubt that such an agreement as telegraphed from New York will be made. “The matter will certainly be brought before the Traffic Association for action as the merchants of the community are not in any temper fo submit to the past meth- ods and exactions of the railroad people. “‘Personally, I feei no anxiety over the matter, such as I would have felt before the experience of the past three ycars and the present condition of the temper of our merchantsand shippers. We demonstrated our ability to break up the Transconti- nental Traffic Association once, and I have no doubt we will be -able to disrupt it again, should its members go tvo far in advancing rates. There are plenty of good steamers to be had at short notice, ana fair time could be made by them arouna the Horn, if we were not satisfied to depend upon the slower sailing vessels. And then it would not take very long to get the Tehuantepec Railroad intp shape and put on competing steamers between here and New York, and these same steamers will also engage in the coastwise traffic that is now monop- olized by the Pacific Mail on this side of the continent.” E. H. Hinton, the general agent of the Panama Railroad, said yesterday that he had not heard regarding such an arrange- ment, as outlined in the press dispatches, was being made. He was aware that there was a meeting of the representatives of the various transcontinental carriers, but be- lieved it was simply for the purpose of agreeing on an advance in rates.

MISSION DEFENSE UNION Formed for the Purpose of Fight- ing the Heirs of Jesus Noe. A VALUABLE TRACT OF LAND. Present Owners Base Their Right on a Decision of the Twelfth Dis- trict Court. The executive committee of the Mission Defense Union are making strenuous efforts to increase the membership of the organization and are meeting with gratify- ing success. The chree hundred and sixty- ninth member was enrolled vesterday and it is expected that inside of another ten days a majority of the property-holders in the San Miguel Rancho will have joined the union. This movement was born from necessity out of self-preservation, when P. L. Kosci- alowski, in behalf of the four heirs of Jesus Noe, recently brought suit to recover one- half of the rancho from the present hold- ers. The property in litigation covers about 4500 acres of the garden spot of this City and County, which is held at present by about 5000 owners, the greater number of whom have built beautiful homes and live there. Theland is embraced by the fol- lowing lines: Sixteenth and Valencia streets westerly to Stanyan, thence in a southeasterly direction to a point one- quarter of a mile west of Lake Honda, taking in the Almshouse Tract, thence to the County line at the crossing of the San Jose railroad track, following the latter to Valencia street and back to Sixteenth. Ali this property was granted to Jesus Noe by the Governor of California in 1846, but under the Spanish law it went to him and his wife jointly. The Iatter, it is al- leged by her heirs, died in 1847. These heirs also claim that, under the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, on September 7, 1847, at the close of the Mexican War, the United States guaranteed to them all their property rights, and notwithstand- ing that Jesus Noe, io whom the grant was made, had conveyved it by deed made and recorded on January 10, 1854, to J. Y. Horner and W. B. Strode, they claim now, after forty-twoyears of waiting, that they are entitled to their mother’s share of the land. The claim is regarded as preposterous by the residents of Noe Valley and by tbe leading lawyers of the City, many of whom live in the disputea territory. 1t is regarded by them as an effort to cloud the tities of the property and then sell quitclaim deeds. This is clear enough. If a person does not appear in court within ten days after service in the suit the Noe heirs will be en- titled to have a default entered, and, in order to get it off the record, it will be necessary for the delinquent to employ an attorney, give notice to the leirs and pro- cure an order of court setting aside the defanlt and allowing an answer to be filed. It is to avoid all this trouble that the Mission Defense Union was instituted, with John H. Grady, president; John Bolger, vice-president; S. W. Fuller, treasurer; A. P. Van Duzer, secretary and. attorney. The executive committee consists of Messrs. H. N. Nolt, chairman; J. K. C. Hobbs, Thomas Kerby, Peter McArdle, Edward Maher, 1). Hulse and George W. Boyd. These gentlemen are acting for the bene- fit of all the residents of Noe Valley, but they are particularly anxious to have the great mass of residents join them, asin theunion they will find greater strength. The admission fee is but $1, and it is the purpose of the union, through Attorney Van Duzer, to gather all the separate cases into one bunch, every defendant being represented at one time, and none having the suit go against him by default. The law upon which the defendants are strong in their ownership of their prop- erty is the decision rendered October 20, 1860, in the Twelfth District Court in the case of Adolph Borie against Richard Roman, Maria Dolores, Jose Jesus Noeand Miguel Noe. The decision was never appealed from and itis claimed that the judgment isstill in force. That judgment validated, it is said, all the titles handed down by Hor- ner and Strode, who got the property from Jesus Noe. One point upon which the Mission De- fense Union insists is that no member, un- der any circumstance, buy or accept quit- | claim deeds from the promoters of the suit. In a circular widely distributed they say: “This would be aiding the enemy in an attempt to rob us of our homes.” CAUGHT RED HANDED. An Ex-Convict Attempts to Steal a Nickel-in-the-Slot Machine. Henry Lewis, alias Levy, thought he had conceived an effective way of beating a nickel-in-the-slot machine. Levy is an ex- convict,and 18 not at all particular about the means he employs to obtain a desired end. About 3 o’clock yesterday morning he peered through the cracks of the mov- able board iront to Schoenfeldt & Co.’s cigar-store at 107} Fifth street and ob- served a dice machine, operated by nickels, standing on the counter. He pushed against the board front of the store and succeeded in forcing an opening.

Burke had witnessed the entire proceeding, and he arrived on the scene But as Levy was emerging with his prize. n the way to the station Levy, in an undertone, uested a bg;sunder to in- form John Daly, at 189}4 Fifth street, that his friend was arrested, Burke gave the bystander to understand that it would not be well for him to do anything of ' the kind, and, after having Levy locked up, he went to the .address indicated. He was admitted by Daly, and two regulaticn and a number of suspicious-look- 1ing articles were found in the room. was arrested on a charge of having burg- Jar’s tools in his possession. .
