8 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, APRIL 16, 1896. HNES FLOI 0 ELODUENE He Continues His Argument in the Southern Pacific Case. AN ARMY OF CASES CITED The Attorney Asks Why Califor- nia Must Pay for Other States. THE JUDGE ASKS FOR LIGHT. A Judicial Amende Honmorable the Sequel to a Few Moments of Private Talk. achieving, still pursuing, Attorney e keeps on arguing in the Southern Pacific case before Judge McKenna of the United States Circuit Court. He shows no sizn of weakening or tiring, and will prob- ably not conclude before the end of the week, if indeed then. Yesterday he read &n extract from the late Senator Stanford’s testimony in relation to the combination between the Central Pacific Railway and the Southern Pacific Company. The testi- mony was to the effect that the combina- tion had *‘all the advantages of a pooling contract,” and that its main or ratherits only purpose was the staving off of any- thing like competition between the two road \ Are we children,” asked Mr. Hayne, *that we should now believe this combine to be a simple lease when the president of the company testifies under oath that it is not?” The case of the San Diego Water Com- pany against the San Diego Flume Com- pany was ated to show that a merely par- tial restraint of -business competition may be permitted, in case that the combination whereby the restraint is brought about be not formed for the purpose of unduly 1n- creasing rates paid by the public for a commodity or privilege of a public nature. The decision, he contended, was not ap- plicable to the case at bar, and should not have been cited by the counsel on the other side. The present case, he said, dealt with a combination, not, as in the San Diego case, to jurnish water or any- thing else to ome city, but to control the entire railway traffic of an entire State. *I believe,” interposed Mr. Pillsbury, “that there are about twenty railwaysin the & ch are not owned by the Southern P Company.” “Yes,” rejoined Mr. Hayne, wheeling about and facing his interlocutor, *‘and fine railways they are, aren’t they? Per- haps you refer to lines like the Marin Count air; and then some sawmills have railroads of their own. But these are not worth mentioning or taking into account in this case. If they were the Southern Pacific Company would have swallowed them up long ago. “Now, as to unlawful combinations,’” re- sumed the eloquent barrister, taking leave of Mr. Pillsbury with a crushing glance. “A combination may be unlawiful either by reason of its purpose or by reason of the means which it employs to achieve a ose_in itself lawful.” The Southern ific Company, by a mere agreement among its head officers, has no right to set itself up before the public as the manag- ing board of & hospital, of a church or of anything else than a transportation com- pany.” “Couldn’t it run a cemetery ?” inquired Mr. Pillsbury. *I concede that point,” answered Mr. Hayne. “The railroad Kkills a great many people, and there would seem to be a cer- tain propriety in its having a place to put them after it had finished them. “Now, returning to the matter of un- lawful combinations between corporations, I contend that the testimony in this case and the decisions which I have cited form a mine of facts from which we are forced to deduce that the combine between the Central Pacific and the Southern Pacific is unlawiul in its ends and purposes and ut- terly unlawful in its methods. ‘‘As to the California business of the company, it is not rash to state that the California traffic yields the railway fully 80 per cent of its annual earnings, the transcontinental traffic bringing in a very slim 20 per cent. Now the railway folks say that the transcontinental traffic does NGt pay to any appreciable extent, and in many States it does not pay at all. Hence they essay to raise rates in this State in order to recompense tuemselves for loss incurred in other parts of the country. This is & most unjust and iniquitous at- tempt. Ii Cahforniais to be responsible for the expenses of traflic in other States, then she cught to be able to have some- thing to say about the matter. Otherwise one te would have the right to pay-its debts and discharge its obligations by put- ting its hands into the pocket of its neigh- bor. 1i the company wished to build a road to Alaska, surely we in California ought not to be obliged to pay its ex- penses.’” I would like to ask,” interposed Judge McKenna, “what would become of Cali- fornia if she did not share in the expenses of the transcontinental railway. If the through line were discontinued " our State would be isolated from the remainder of the Union. The railway is not altogether a State affair, since it passes through a numberof States. May it not be consid- ered esa whole and its rates calculated from the earnings of the entire system ?’ “If that principle were recognized,” answered Mr. Hayne, ‘“‘where would it take us?”’ “Itis I who am asking the question,” said the Juage. ‘‘We have to decide this case in accord with the principles of law. I only ask how you think an interstate railway can be operated unless 1ts rates be calculated upon the earnings of the whole system? Could it pay its expenses? Could it be run at all?”’ ““There are too many railways now,” re- joined Mr. Hayne. *‘A railway should not be built unless it can pay on the places through which it is to pass. One Btate un‘;hr, not to pay the rai'way fares of another.” A long discussion between his Honor and the mercurial barrister ensued, wherein each displayed a strong desire to find out what the other was %riving at, but the effort on both sides met with only indifferent success. Mr. Hayne read a long extract from an opinion of Justice Deady, contained in the Twenty-third Federal Reporter, which he contended had a direct bearing upon the case before the court. A compromise between him- self and the Judge was at length effected, neither side yielding a point, and his Honor promising to read the decision quoted and find out for himself what it really deciaed. B Mr. Hayne concluded by saying that it would not be right to go ‘out of the State in order to calculate local rates for Cali- fornia. However, in case external busi- ness were taken into account in estimating rates charged in California, the entire out- side earnings would have to be taken into consideratis The steamship lines, leased and otherwise, the Mexican Central Rail- way and all the other paying ventures of the Southern Pacific Company should at least aid California in bearing “the burden of recompensing the company for losses incurred in non-productive sections of country. The argument here rested for the day. The Judge summoned Messrs. Hayne and Garber to the bench, and after a brief whispered conversation announced that in questioning Mr. Hayne he had not in- tended to cast any reflection upon the propriety of the attorney’s position, but only to ask @ information as to certain specitic voints touched upon. Nobedy seemed willing after the adjournment to say what the little talk dealt with, Mr. Hayne, in answer to a question, saying, *‘Oh, it was only a small private affair between the Judge and myself.” CHANCE FOR MARSHALL. Another Murderer Respited From the Rope by the Supreme Court. Charles Marshall, who was convicted and sentenced to death for the murder of Frank Hamilton, has been granted a new trial by the Supreme Court. Marshall was convicted of killing Frank Hamilton in Riverside on April 8, 1895. In instructing the jury the trial court said that when the killing was proved it rested with the defendant to show anv cir- cumstance in mitigation to excuse or justify—that is, the killing being proved, it rested with the defense to make out a case in mitigation. This was afterward qualified by the instruction that at ali times the burden of proof rested on the people. The Attorney-General admitted that the instruction was erroneous, but pleaded that the people’s case was so conclusive as to rob the instruction of any harm it might otherwise have done the defendant, also that the general instruction on the | burden of proot relieved the first error. | The Supreme Court holds differently, how- ever, and the order denying a new trial is | reversed. | To give contradictory instructions, the court says, is to commit error, and it is almost always impossibie to say whether the jury has the erroneous instruction or the correct one. MERACE O DRIED FRUTS Growers of the Northwest De- plore Indiscriminate Shipments. Say Fruits Are Thrown on the Mar- ket at Prices Ruinous to Ship- pers and Dealers. Secretary Lelong of the State Board of Horticulture received yesterday a letter from a prominent firm of St. Paul, which inclosed a protest from the Northwestern Grocers’ Association against the indis- criminate selling of dried fruit to unquali- fied agents of that section of the country. | The letter explaining the protest states that the jobbers of that association dis- tribute upward of 1000 cars of dried fruits a year and are the legitimate buyers of dried froits and canned goods from Cali- fornia, and they forward the protest be- cause some growers and shippers send from this State goods to pesple who can- not handle them intelligently, thereby rendering the business of buying dried fruits hazardous. The protest reads as follows: ST. PAUL, Minn., April 11, 1896, To the Fruit-Growers and ied Fruit Dealers of Califoynia—GENTLEMEN: This association, Tepresenting es it do I the wholesale gro- cers doing business in the great Northwest, protests against the present demoralized con. aition of the dried fruit market, growing out of the indiscriminate shipments of dried iruits by the fruit-growers of your State to the farm produce and green fruit dealers in this section of the country. The principal effect of this is that such ship- ments are thrown on this market by such farm produce and green fruit dealers at prices ruin- ous to both the original shippers and to the legitimate dealers in dried fruits, and such shipments are sold without regard to their value at whatever prices may be offered for them. The goods are used as baits to increase the sale of oranges, lemons and farm produce, and the principal object sought to be gained is the commission to be earned, without proper regard to the interests of the shipper. Such salesestablish a fictitious price and depreciate the real value of every pound of like goods which we may be at that time carrying in stock. Our market is thus kept in uncer- tainty and Jegitimate handling of such goods is made unsatisfactory and hazardous. ‘We feel that the interests of the California of dried fruits in California and the jobbers in grocer- ies (which include dried fruiis) in_this market are identical, and none of them are benefited by the slaughtering of goods in the manner suggested. It is forelgn to our wishes or in- terests that the fruit-growers of the Pacific Coast should be ruined by the sacrifice of their products in this merket. We, therefore, hereby place ourselves on rec- ord as being wholly opposed to the methods referred to, which are subversive of the best interests of all parties concerned, and respect fully recommend to the fruit-growers of Cali- fornia that the{ should ignore delusive circu- lars_or personal solicitors from this section oi the Northwest, soliciting individual snipments to unknown parties, who may promise enticing returns from such ah‘iipmenls; and we further recommend them to dispose of their products through known and regular dealers or brokers in dried fruits, and not otherwise. Very re- spectfully, NORTHWESTERN WHOLESALE GROCERS' ASSOCIA- TION. Per J. H, BEEK, Secretary. “‘There has been no concerted action on the part of many growers in shipping fruit,” said Mr. Lelong, ‘and these ship- ments mentioned by the protest are from people outside the numerous exchanges and associations throughout the State. In fact, in some instances, they are working directly in opposition to the exchanges. The importance of such protective organi- zations is shown by this protest to-be pre- eminent. 5 “The board will take steps toward recti- fying this matter and will advise all indi- vidual growers to identify themselves with some recognized body of shippers.” ——————— REAL ESTATE AT AUCTION.

THE PRESBYTERY AT WORK A Prosperous Field Laid Out for Rev. R. W. Reynolds in the Park Station. SOME ENCOURAGING REPORTS. An Amendment to the Church Rules by Which None but Members in Good Standing May Vote. The session of the presbytery was held in the parlors of Calvary Presbyterian Church yesterday, the Rev. F. R. Farrand, moderator, in the chair. The labors of the brethren were princi- pally devoted to receiving the report of four hours before it was discovered by Mrs. Stewart. Policeman O’Connell has been detailed to find if possible the inhuman parents of the infant, and he will be assisted by the officers of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. The boy baby found in a satchelin the vacant lot on Tielfth street Monday morn- ing died at the orphan asylum yesterday afternoon. Every effort is being made by the police to trace the parents of tbe boy, and Captain Lees said yesterday that he was not without hope of finding them soon. OUR APRIL SQUALL. Weather Clerk Hammon Assures the Drenched Unfortunates That It ‘Was “Purely Local.”” The dark clouds that gathered over- head so suddenly yesterday afternoon in a sky that but a few minutes before seemed unalloyed blue were *‘purely local”” accord- ing w0 the words of Weather Clerk Ham- mon. “While the rain and hail were pouring down over the City,”” said Mr. Hammon, “the sun was shining on the bay and across the straits.” There was nothing REV. R. W. REYNOLDS OF HOLLY PARK PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. to the General Assembly certain amend- ments to the church and session char- acter. Among the principal changes'sug- gested is one by which only c hurch mem- bers in good standing shail pe entitled to vote for a minister. Heretofore every member whose name appeared on the roil of membership could come in at an elec- tion for & new minister irrespective of his standing in the church. The Richmond district was added to the Holly Park ministry, to which charge the energetic young minister, R. W. Reynolds, has just been assigned, as a home mission district. The debatable question over the French and Italian home missions, in which there seems to be some misunderstanding be- tween two of the leading congregations, did not come up for discussi ticipated. i : The reports of the various committees as presented to the presbytery shows the church under its jurisdiction to be in a healthy and prosperous condition. The increase in members and finance was re- ported to be more than encouraging, as compared to previous sessions. This, with ion, as was an- | standing committees and recommending , particularly remarkable about its sudden- | orit squall, but s very unusual. from the higher ness.

During the last thirty-six hours there has been a general cooling of the air west of the Rocky Moun- tains. “The air is heavily charged with mois- ture, and it is owing to this fact that so few heavy frosts bave been reported.

Prominent among those present were Rev. J. K. Inazawa and Rev.J. Okuno, who were ordained the previous day. TN HOMELESS INFANTS One Babe Only a Few Days 0ld Abandoned in the Bitter Cold. The Child Found in a Hand-Satchel Monday Dies at the Orphan Asylum. Another abandoned baby has found a home in Mount St. Joseph’s Orphan Asy- lum. Thistime it is a baby girl, well- developed and healthy. Mrs. Stewart of 1614 Oak Grove avenue, a small street running from Harrison to Bryant, between Fifth and Sixth, opened her front door about 6:30 o’clock yesterday morning to go on an errand, when she nearly stepped upon a baby which was lying on her front step nude and exposed to the bitter cold weather. There was a piece of flour sack under the infant, but there had been no attempt to cover the body with it. The child was blue from the cold. Mrs. Stewart took it inside and placed it in a warm oxen. Then she bathed it in warm water n*d wrnp‘\ed it in flannel. After doing all that was possible for the little one, Mrs. Stewart notified Policeman O’Connell, who summoned the patrol wagon. The baby was placed in_a fruit- box and taken to'the Receiving Hospital, where it met with a motberiy reception from Matron Kane. A few hours later it was sent to the orphan asylum in the ambulance.

Boyd, dispos- ing of an estate valued at $70,000, has been filed in the Probate Court. The petition for its probate is directed to Judge Slack, and it sets forth that the estate consists of land in San Benito County valued at $6000, some small lots in San Francisco, a twenty- foot 1ot on Third street valued at $10,000, some land in Santa Clara County, notes and mortgages to the amount of $42,000 and shares of stock in various companies, The entire estate is left to the widow by the following will : I.

A large number of horticulturists and vitl. culturists in the northern part of this State have arrived at the conclusion that while fruits, grapes, cereals and other products grow well without water, they will do better with irrigation. That fruits espeeially attain a larger size and a better flavor and make finer preserves where irrigation is pursued has been repeatedly demonstrated. Furthermore, there is hardly a valley or plainin this section of the State but what can be watered at very lit- This matter has been looked into ex- y by a large number of people who are interested in the subject, and on next Tuesday afternoon “Irrigation in Northern California’” will be exhaustively discussed at a meetinz of the California State Board of Trade, at 16 Post street. B. M. Lelong, F. Maslin, N. B.

WHEN LAWYERS AGREL Counsel in the Martin Case Con- cur in Closing the Trial Te-Day. The Raiiroad Amends Its Answer as to | Simple Negligence—What a | Boy Thought. | The Martin case will, by mutual under- standing between the counsel—the first understanding that they bave come to in | all the two weeks of the trial—be brought | to a close to-day so far as the taking of testimony .is concerned. The case will then go over until Monday,when the argu- ments of counsel will be made. Yesterday the interest wabbled some, and at no time was superinductive of pal- | pitation of the heart among auditors. As many of these crowded the courtroom all the day as at any time during the trial. The morning was devoted to medical testimony. A number of physicians testi- fied as to Jocomotor ataxia, the complaint which the plaintiff was suffering from at the time he was putoff the train, and which, through the rough handling to which he was subjected at that time, he claims to bave been aggravated and ren- dered incurable. A good deal of skirmishing between counsel was occasioned by the character of this tesumony or the character of that sought to be secured from the doctors. \General Barnes, for the railroad, inter- rupted the proceedings to amend his an- swer, charging negligence on the part of the plaintiff—not contributory, but simple negligence, in not having properly iden- i tified himself to the conductor when he might have doune so. Delmas objected. He said it was rather late in the proceedings to introduce new elements. This was a complete shifting of the attitude of the defense. “The defendants,” he said, ‘“have an- swered our complaint with ten pages of type-written matter, in which they set up that the plaintiff was playing a game upon them; that he deliberately planned a fraud and a deception and declared their ability to prove it. We confronted this without fear. Now they gr()posc to change base. They wish to hold that if the plaintiff was guilty of nezligence he is not entitled to damages. Hitherto they have admitted if the company made a mistake they were liable.” The court said it could not see that any | burden was added to the plaintiff by the | move—it was simply taking the view of the court that negligence should bean element in the case. ““Is that the court’s view of it?"’ inquired Delmas. “The two propositions are as | widely separatad as the shores of the | ocean. Certainly the defendants had no thought that there was such a possible view to be taken under tbe law. They have taken thesuggestion from the court.”” ““It does not matter where the sugges- tion came from,” said Judge Daingerfield. *It was made some time ago, and both | sides had the benefit of it. AsI say, it adds no new burden on the plaintiff, and | T will allow the offer.” This settled the most strongly disputed point of the day. |~ In the afternoon several ticket-scalpers | were heard. One of them testified that | | Martin had visited him and offered to sell | | his ticket, or at least asked what would be | given for it. 2 | ® A Pinkerton detective named Morrison, | from Sioux City, was called to show that | | the plaintiff was notonly in the commis- n business there, but that he “ran” the Bijou Theater, a place where drinks were sold and where there were ‘“‘women box- workers.” This line of inquiry was shut off under objcction. EVIDENCE THAT WAS BARRED. | | to-morrow. | Then there was a good deal of inquiry | about a woman named Rogers, but she was | | not brought definitely into the case, as the | objections were sustained. { Then a young man named Hathaway | | undertook to explain on the stand that an | | affidavit had been filed by the plamtiff re- | cently during a real estate transaction de- claring that ie (Martin) was not now and | | never had been marriea, despite the fact | | that he nad declared on the stand that he | | was and is married. Delmas said he was perfectly willin to | meet this evidence if it came properly be- fore the court, but the memory or hearsay of this boy was not the thing. General Barnessaid a certified copy of the affidavit was in the mail and on’ the | way. It would arrive to-morrow. It was decided nov to sdmit the testimony. If the affidavit arrived in time it would be considered. All these witnesses were sharply cro: questioned as to how they came to be wi nesses here and the fact was developed that they were supplied with passes by the orger or William A. Pinkerton of Chicago. The last-named witness had brought his wife along on such a pass, The detective had been supplied with funds for his ex- penses. The others paid their own ex- penses, they said. To-day the defense will close with the evidence of the brakemen on the tram, and the plaiatiff will put in his rebuttal. A Body in the Bay.
