ENEMIES OF THE VALLEY ROAD, Unfair Attempts Made to Bring It Into Dis- favor. PROTEST AT STOCKTON. Unfounded Charges of Discrimi- nation Made Against the Line. ORIGIN OF THE OPPOSITION. The Conditions Complained of Brought About by the Southern Pacific. Opposition of a peculiar character, and inspired solely by selfish motives, has made itself manifest both in this City and in Stockton against the San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley Railroad. So far has this already gone that a protest was filed at arecent meeting of the City Council of Stockton against granting certain addi- tional privileges to the Valley road, and petitions are being circulated in San Fran- cisco, in Stockton and in the couniry im- mediately adjacent to the latter city pledging the signers to withhold their business from the Valley road and to give it to the Southern Pacific In preference. The ostensible basis for this onset upon the great monopoly’s first and only gen- uine competitor is set forth in the petition reads as follows: To the Honorable the City Council of the City of Stockton—GENTLEMEN: As property-owners in the City of Stockton and engaged in business therein, we respectfully protest against grant- ing any more privileges to the so-called Valiey in the schedule of rates of freight against Stockton shall be removed and not be re-estab- lished. In this behalf we respectfully represent: In wheat rates the Valley Ruilway Company dis- criminates against Stockton by at least 10 in fact, they simply treat Stockton as a way station. Take, for instance, their rates of freight from Merced to Stockton and Port Costa: Rate from Merced to Port Costa, inciuding unloading and transferring to barge at Stock- ton and unloading barge at Port Costa, along- side ship or whari, $2 20. Rate from Merced to Stockton, but not in- Stockton, $1 70. Cost to receiver at Stockton of unloading and transferring to barge if wheat is put into ware- house at Stockton, 10 cents. Rate of mreignt by barge from Stockton to total $2 50. Discrimination in ffavor of Port Costa as agninst Stockton receivers, 10 cents. You will note from the above that receivers, like oursclyes, of grain at Stockton have to do the unloading and transferring at their own | cost, whereas such service is comparatively The Rev. E.

We consider that the City Council, before bestowing further privi- leges on the Valley Railway Company, should provide that such privileges shall not be used to the detriment ot Stockion. ac has been the case with the other privileges granted to the Vulley Railway. We think that one of the first conditions to | be exacted by Stockton in giving away valu- i i | { x l | | | | s, | able rights of way should be that there should be no arrangement of freight rates as to dis- criminate ageinst Stockton in favor of another locality. The Valley Railway, instead of bene- fitting Stockton as a grain center, has taken the initiative steps to destroy it as such. The City Council, having the power, owes to Stock- ton the exercising of that power to_check and remove such initiative steps. Before the granting of any more privileges let it be pro- vided that Stockton shall not be discriminated against c present discrimination shall be removed. It may be that the Valley Kailway repre- sentative, by the muddling of figures, will demoustrate that the Valley Railway is not discriminating against Stackton. deriake to flrflve to any intelligent men that they are discriminating against Stockton as regards grain. We therefore respectfully but earnestly pro- | test against granting the additional franchises and privileges sought or any other privilege until assurance shall be given that the dis- crimination now existing against Stock:on, its wheat-buyers and wheat receivers and other busincss interests shall be removed and satis- factory contract made providing againstany such discrimination in the future. Very re- spectfully yours, BTOCKTON WAREHOUSE CQMPANY, C. L. O118, Manager. As will be seen from the foregoing the rub of the whole trouble lies in the charge of 10 cents a ton, made for bandling the wheat placed in storage at Stockton. This means that wheat placed in warehousesat Stockton and then exported pays acharge of 10 cents a ton more than that ware- housed at and exported from Port Costa and warehouse pointss common to the latter. Those engaged in arousing opposition to the Valley road sre trying to saddle the blame for this condition of things upon the new road, when it 1s a notorious fact that the discrimination which Stockton for handling wheat at Port Costa, for the purpose of drawing the entire wheat ex- vort business from Stockton, and at the same time handicapping the Valley road on this class of freight. The actual re- sult has been that the Stockton ware- housemen have suffered from this move of the Southern Pacific, but the Valley road has managed to retain its full com- petitive power against its rival. b fore the Valiey road entered the field the Soutbern Pacific charged 75 cents more a ton to carry wheat to Port Costa from the interior of the San Joaquin Valley than it did to Stockion. When the Valley road issued its schedule of grain rates, .cuttine those of the Southern Pacific from 25 10 3314 per cent, it made the difference between Stockton and Port Coste 50 cents. Up to this time the Southern Pacific had been making a charge for handiing wheat at Port Costa as well as at Stockton, but when the Valley roaa cut the grhin rates the Southern Pacific not only met the cut, but secretly abolished the charge for bandling wheat at Port Costa, thus creat- ing the discrimination against Stockton by maintaining the charge for handling at that point. In order to offset thie discrimination, the creation of the Southern Pacific, the Valley road is now asked by the ware- housemen of Stockton to increase the dif- ference in the rates between Stockton and Port Costa to 60 cents per ton, so as to Railway Company, unless the discrimination | cluding unlonding and transferring to barge at | alongside ship or wharf at Port Costa, 50 cents; | in rates of freight, and that the | We will un- | suffers from is due to the action of the | Southern Pacific in abolishing the charge lace Stockton on an equality with Port sta in the matter of exporting wheat. This, it is claimed by the Valley road peobple, cannot be done. To attempt it, they say, would be to drive all the busi- ness of this character to the Southern Pa- cific, whose differential between Stockton and Port Costa is only 50 cents, and thus the Valley road would lose this business, and not a pound of it wounld pass through Stockton, as it would be taken out of the valley by the way ot Lathrop. On the other hand, should the Valley road re- duce its rates from valley points to Stock- ton by 10 cents, the cut.would promptly be met by the Southern Pacific and the gresent differential between Stockton and ort Costa wounid thus be maintained, without any advantage having accrued to the warehousemen of Stockton. “We are perfectly helpless in this mat- ter,” said Vice-President Watt of the Valley road in speaking of the condition of affairs of which complaint is made; “and the people who are stirring up this feeling against us know perfectly well that we are not at fault. Their motive is purely selfish and the attack upon us simply ma- licious. There are two interests whose representatives principally are instigating this antagonism. These are the Stockton Warehouse Company, owned by Girvin & Eyre of this City, and the Union Trans- portation Company, of which Mr, Gillis of Stockton is president and manager. The coming of the Valley road has tended to interfere, in their opinion, with the vrofits they had been making previous to 1ts advent. “One of the big savings effected for the farmer by our road was the abolition of the switching charges at Stockton, which were 15 cents a ton. The Stockton Ware- house Company had a special contract with the Southern Pacific Company whereby they paid the railroad only 5 cents a ton, and were therefore in a posi- tion to make 10 cents more a ton on all the grain they handied for the farmer than | the other warehouses of Stockton. The loss of this advantage to them is what | makes them sore against our road. They lose sight, however, of the fact that what | was their individual loss is the gain of every farmer who now ships wheat out of the valley. “The animus of the Union Transporta- tion Company is even more apparent. When we were ready to begin operating our road we made an arrangement with the California Navigation and Improve- ment Company to handle all our business | between Siockton and San Francisco, as this company was the only one equipped to handle the business. Manager Gillis of | the rival transportation company acknowl- edgec that his company did not have an adequate equipment to give the service re- | filed with the Stockton Council, which |guired, but he desired that we should re- | frain from billing shipments through to | 8an Francisco and that we should dump | our freight at Stockton and let the rival companies there fight for the business. | But this we could not do in justice to the | patrons of our road, who couid not be ex- pected to employ an agent at Stockton to look after the trans-shipment of their freight from there. “Manager Gillis of the Union Transpor- tation Company makes no secret to us of his feeling agamnst the Valley road for having made this contract with his rival and has stated to me personally that he would use every effort in his power to in- jure the interests of the Valley road.” Another of the Valley road officials stated that Mr. Girvin of the firm of Gir- vin & Eyre was personally circulating pe- titions in this City pledging merchants who had freight for valley points to ship it over the Southern Pacific. Similar peti- tions, the officers of the Valley road hava information, are being circulated in and about Stockton. MUSIC FOR THE MISSION ‘A Successful Musicale Given | at the Associaticn Auditorium. | Mrs. Strelitz Davis Makes Her Debut | on Her R turn From Berlin. A very successful concert was given last | night at the Association Auditorinm for the benefit of the Mission Y. | The body of the hall was well filled with | listeners, who encored most of the num- ibers on the programme, and who vizor- | ously applauded all the musical fare pro- | vided. A feature of the entertainment was the | reappearance of Mrs. Strelitz Davis, who has been studying in Beriin for the last | year and a half. She chose Liszt’s “Hun- | garian Rhapsodie,” No. 10, as the medjum for presenting herself to the audience. nhe | played it w:ith a dash and brilliancy | which won warm applause. Mrs. Strelitz Davis also gave a sympathetic rendering to the pianoforte score of a trio, opus 42, by Niels W. Gade. | Tue other players in the trio were A. Strelitz, violinist, and H. Strelitz, ’cellist. | Margaret Davis, a very young pianist, | plaved Weber’s “‘Invitation to the Dance’ and Schubert’s “Impromptu,” op 142, in | a very clever and appreciative manner. Armand Solomon, a violinist well | known locally, gave a clever rendering of a ““Polonaise” in D major, by Wienawski. As an encore he vlayed Spolr's lovely melody, ‘‘Rose Softly Blooming,” and rendered it so expressively that the audi- ence seemed to want a second encore. | Professor Roscoe Lucy accompanied Mr. Solomon very effectively. H. Strelitz won an encore for his pleasing rendering of the ’ceilo solo, “Ellgie Kummer.” He was accompanied by Mrs. Strelitz Davis. Mme. Hermine Smith gave a forceful rendering of Rubinstein’s pianoforte solo, “Waltz Caprice.”’ to which she was obliged to respond with an encore. She also played Liszt's transcription of *Tann- hauser.” The vocalists who assisted all succeeded in creating a favorable impression. The California male quartet was encored, and Mrs. E. M. Gallahorn_and H. O. Page's vocal duet, “Edenland,” won much ap- plause. C. H. Randall accompanied the latter vocalists. Of the vocal soloists, Dr. R. W. Smith saug Behrend’s “*Daddy” effectively, and Rev. J. George Gibson was applauded for his rendering of “O Restless Sea.” Miss Florence Wyman-Gardner's high ringing soprano voice was listened to with the ap- preciation it merited. H. D. Page gave a comic vocal sketch, *“The Thomas Cat That Came in ou' Back Yard.” Miss Elizabeth Bartlett, the only re- citer of the entertainment, gave a clever reading of a story, the scen: of which was laid in Russia. e TH IR 81A 'E GHOOT.

News of the Capture of the Bank Robber in This City Well Recelved. LOS ANGELES, CaL., Sept. 10.—The police of this city, and especially Chief Glass, are delighted over the news from San Francisco of the arrest of one John McCarthy, alias Bigelow, alias Madden, implicated in the famous tunnel scheme to rob the First National Bank of this city. Detective Bradish of this city is now on his way to San Francisco' armed with a warrant charging McCarthy with burg- lary. In the opinion of the police here McCarthy was the ringleader and planner of the attempted bank robbery referred to, which in mauy respects has no paralilel in the annals of crime for boldness, deter- mination and intrepidity. On the evening of June 6 Jast this city was stirred from center to ¢ rcumference by the astounding announcement that a gang of burglars had dug an underground tunnel from the basement of a saloon on Commercial street to a point beneath the money vaults of the First National Bank, which fronts on Main street and is 175 teet from the place of starting. This work from its nature must have required many J. J. McCARTHY, Charged With Bank Robbery. was arrested in Spokane a few days ago, and Wednesday night another was ar- rested in this City and is now in the tanks at the City Prison awaiting the arrival of an officer from Los Angeles to take him back. The man arrested is John J. McCarthy. He came here about six weeks ago with a woman named Mre. Leslie and engaged a room at11 Eddy street. Captain Lees, who had been in constant communication with | Chief Glass of Los Angeles, soon after- | ward learned of his arnval and detailed | Detectives Dillon and Crockett to arrest | him. It was not an easy task, as the house, 11 Eddv street, has an entrance also from Market street, ana McCarthy was wary. About two weeks ago he was seen to enter the house, anad a descent was made upolz: | proved to be the wrong room and McCar- After that Policeman P. Sullivan, who knew McCarthy, was detailed to assist Dillon and Crockett, and day and night | both entrances to the house were covered | and the officers had instructions to follow Mrs. Leslie wherever she went. Thursday night, about 9 o’clock, she left the house by the Eddy street entrance and walked up Powell sireet to Union square. She remained there for about an hour and walked to the corner of Post | street. A car came along and she boarded | it and took a seat veside & man. Sullivan | had boarded the car after her and recog- | nized the man as McCarthy. He promptly | placed him under arrest, and quick as a flash McCarthy drew a revolver from his pocket. Sullivan grappled with him, threw him down and cailed upon the male passengers to assist him. A young man went to his assistance, and after a brief struggle the handcuffs were put on Mc- Carthy and he was dragged from the car. Sullivan blew his whistle and Policeman T. B. Gibson answered thecall. McCarthy was marched to the corner of Eddy and Powell streets and the patrol wagon was summoned and McCarthy was soon in ‘‘the tanks,” His trunk was later taken from the Eddy-street loaging-house to the City Prison. The room which McCarthy had occupied on Mission street was located yesterday, but nothing was in it belonging 10 McCarthy except some articles of cloth- ing. In the room at 11 Eddy street a hand vise and some files were found and taken to police headquarters. Captain Lees refused yesterday to per- mit any one to see McCarthy, as he wanted the officers who were coming from Los Angeles to have the opportunity first of | interviewing him. The captain said he | had a falg with McCarthy yesterday morning and he admitted that he knew | “Quirk” Jones, who is known as an all- round crook. Jones owned the saloon at 112 Commercial street, from which the tunneling operations were commenced to reach the bunk. McCarthy is a New Yorker and is now about 36 years of age. He is a sailor and claims to have been a mate on vessels | trading to Soutk American ports and also from Liverpool, England, to Enropean | ports. He is an athlete and pugilist and has at different times fought in the ring, by which he became known (o Policeman Sullivan, who is something of an athlete himself. McCarthy’s criminal recora so far as known is not very great. He is known as a general all-round thief. He wasarrestea in Seattle in 1892 with “Shorty” Adams, and Ed, alias ‘*Deafy,” Connelly, for crack- ing a safe. Adams and Conneliy got seven years each and McCarthy escaped punish- ment by turning State’s evidence. About two years ago he was arrested in Los Angeles for shooting a man in a saloon, but succeeded in getting an acquittal. The attempt to rob the bank in May last created a great sensation at the time. The robbers began tunneling from the cellar of Jones’ saloon, 112 Commercial street, and had excavated a distance of about forty yards when the discovery was made by the police. - There was $500,000 coin in the bank vauits and the robbers had reached the arched chamber beneath them. They apparently not only contemplated | this marvelous work. weeks if not months to accomplish and was carried forward under the very eyes of the police and the public, who had daily access to the saloon affording the blind for all the work When the discovery was made it was too late to capture the dirt- diggers, They had smeiled a mice and skipped, leaving their tools, apparatus and dynamite stores vehind them. The police, detectives and everybody else was at sea as to who could have vlanned and executed The whole job smacked of experts and there was talk galore of a number of well-known bank- Tobbers, including the Matheny-Ryersen gang. The police found an idle fellow here named Stephens, some days afterward, and put him in jail, but afrer long search- ing for clews to connect Stephens with the daring deed it was abandoned and the prisoner released. Only a few days ago Fred L. Jones, who formerly conducted the saloon at the Commercial-street end of the tunnel, was arrested at Spokane, Whash., and brought back, and is now in jail awaiting bis preliminary examination on the charge of complicity in the at- tempted crime. Jones was seen to-day after the arrival of the news of McCarthy’s arrest by a CALL correspondent and asked if he had heard about it. He expressed indifference to the arrest, saying, “I don‘t care how many people they arrest.” When asked if he knew a John McCarthy, Bigelow, Madden or Matheny he declined toanswer. “Jimmy” Madden is now in State prison at Foisom, and it is said olaims to know every man concerned in the attempted tunnel robbery. FIVE SHOTS FIRED. Michael Shay ! mpties His Revolver Without Effect at Jack Dooley in a Mission Saloon. Felix Dugan’s saloon, southwest corner of Sixth and Howard streets, was the scene of a shooting affray Wednesday evening, in which Mike Shay fired five shots at Jack Dooley. None of the shots took effect. Shay was promptly arrested by Officers Regan and Marshall and booked at the Southern station on a charge of assault to murder. He tells a tale to the effect that he and a man named Jack Logzan called at Dooley’s home on Clementina street yes- terday afternoon, and that Dooley’s wife gave Logan $2 to hire a buggy for herseif and sister to go to the races at Ingleside. Logan_and hiwmseli, so Shay sa{s. then went to Ingleside in a cart. While there Snay told Dooley of Logan’s receiving money from Dooley’s wife for buggy hire. Dooley grew angry and wanted to fight Shay, who leit the cart and came home in acar. He says he then went to Dugan’s saloon, when Logan and Dooley came in together, with tbree or four more, and assaulted him. He was struck in the eye, and con- sequently fired the shots in seif-defense. he arresting officers state that Dooley and Shay were quarreling in the saloon and that the former invited Shay to the sidewalk for settlement. Assoon asDooley was outside Shay stepped to the door and dd the shooting. Dooley’s version could not be bad, as he escaped arrest by flecing. An officer was detailed to arrest him at his bome, 135 Courtland avenue, Shay isa horse-tamer, 24 years old. NEW TO-DA POLICEMEN AS HEALTH INSPECTORS Every Structure in Sanv Francisco to Be Examined.

Several days ago the members of the Health Board were informed that the Board of Supervisors had by an ordinance made reguiar and special police ex-officio health inspectors, and the 1ollowing letter was sent to the board by the Police Com- missioners: Gentlemen: The Board of Health of this City desires 0 express its obligation to your honor- able body and its thorough appreciation of the efficient services rendered by the Police Department in the matier of securing and in- creasing the public health of this City. | Inasmuch as there are only six regular health inspectors, a number utterly inade- | quate for a city seven miles square, and inas- | much as by order 1601 of the Board of Super- | visors “every regular and special police officer having a regular best shall be ex-officio health inspector,” the board requests your aid and co-operation in making a house to house in- spection of every building and structure and | of all premises and portious of tais City, with & view of determining every building, struc- ture, premise or partof the City which is an uasanitary condition anc. menaces the health or life of its inhabitants. Snould your honorable body co-operate with this board we will furuish all necessary blanks and instructions for the proper and efficient accomplishment of a thorough inspection of the City. We are, dear sirs. yours very truly, THE BOARD OF HEALTH OF THE CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO, CAL. Captain Healy of the Police Depart- ment calied at the Health Office yester- day and requested to be furnished with the blanks that are used by Heulth In- spectors. He intimated that the request of the board would be complied with by the Police Department, whereupon Secre- tary Godchaux at once ordered 10,000 blank forms. This means that every policeman in San Francisco will make a house to house ean- vass of his beat, and that every house in San Francisco will be mspected to ascer- tain its sanitary condition. The matter will be formally acted upon at the next meeting of the Police Commission. HANDBALL CLURTS. Rattling Gameos Admission Day.
