A Decision That Has Thrown the Railroad P:ople of ths Country Into Confusion. =No decision ever distarbed ihe railroad country as the recent de ndered by a court so interests of thi on of the S | are again printed in THE CALL. Its vast | importance was not fuily realized, even | by those most direc!ly interested, when it | was first announced by the court on Mon- day last. | The point at issue was whether or not | the agreement of the Trans-Missouri Freight Association to maintain rates within its territory was in violation of the anti-trust law of 1890, pronibiting con- | tracts or combinations in restraint of | trade. Tke court held that it was, and must be abandoned. Justice Peckham, in | rendering the opinion of the court, said | that the case presented two questions of importance: First—Does the anti-trust act apply to and cover common carriers by railway ? | Second—Ii so, does the agreement com- | plained of violate any provisions of that act? | " The court finally held as follows: The question is one of law in regard | to the meaning and effect of the agroe- | ment itself, namely: Does the agree- | ment restrain trade or commerce in any | wny 0 as to be a violution of the act? | We have no doubt that it does. The | agreement on its face recites that it is | enterea for the purpose of mutual pro- | tection, and a violation subjects the fect is to put a restraint upon trade or commerce s described in the act. Dispatches from various parts of the | country state that already a_number of | railroad associations have decided to dis- | solve and_that other companies have sig- nified their intention of withdrawing from the associations to which they belong. No formal action has been taken by the | Southern Pacitic Company, but this is | largely dus to the fact thatits principal | officers are_away, acting as an escort to President C. P. Huntineton, who is on | nis way to this City. He arrived yester- day at Los Angeles and is expected to ar- | rive herein a day or two in order to at- | end the annual meeting of the directors of the company and at which an _election | of officersis to be held. At this meeting, | which will be held within a week or two, WEEKLY LINE 0F STEAMERS T0 P S. Asano Returns Here After Ordering Three Ships in England. The Vessels to Run From San Francisco to Hongkong Via Yokohama. Elegant in Finish, as Large as the China and Capable of Carry- ing 600 Passengers. S. Asano, the wealthy president of the Toyo Kisen Kabushiki, or Oriental Steam- ship Company of Japan, who was here some time ago and who proposed to es- tablish a line of steamers between Chin: Japan and this coast, making the ter- minus either here or at San Diego, is in the City. Since he was here he has been in Eng- land, and has ordered three elegant, mod- ern steamships for his line. Each is as large as the steamer China and capable of carrying 600 passengers, besides having a dead-weight capacity of 5000 tons for freight. Mr. Asano is well pleased with his trip. He says he will make this City the ter- warning bell or whistle was sounded. They saw Slavich and his son trying to put speed in the horse and fail until the engine struck and did the damage. On the other hand, the trainmen swore that the bell was ringingas the train came on, and that the latter was moving very slowly. They insisted that the wagon was standing still within six feet of the train when it came along and - that the horse backed into the baggage-car, causing the damage, Mr. Richards in his argument enu- merated the points in. the controversy upon which there was no dispute; that there had been an sccident; that Slavich bad been greatly injured; that Slavich, with his wagon, had an equal right witn | the Southern Pacific train to the use of the street; that the time of theaccident was the afternoon of a bright and calm summer day. In support of his charge of negligence on the part of the company he cited the witnesses who aeclared there had been no warning signal; he pointed to the condi- tion of tu.e victim who hore the marks of | minus of his steamer line, ana that if COLLIS P. HUNTINGTON. there is business enough he will dispatch | a steamer from here every week, as it will only take three weeks for one of the new steamers to cross the ocean between here and China, via Japan. When Mr. Asano left here several | months ago he had figures from the Union Iron Works and the Cramps for the building of his steamers. On arriv- ing in England, however, he found the vessels could be constructed chesper there, and so gave the contracts. He says the steamers wili be finished and back here, ready to start, in just about a year from this time. Since, his arrival he and his secretary, K. Kobayashi, have been conferring with leading merchants and visiting the State Board of Trade and Chamber of Com- merce, and gathering what information | they could about the business that might be expected for the line. “T propose to establish a regular line between China, Japan and San Frarcisco,” said Mr. Asano last night. *I think there will be enough business to support it weil. The ships [ have ordered are twin-screw steel vessels, each of 6000 tons gross ton- nage. They are to be sisier ships. Each will accommodate 68 first-class passen- gers, 40 second-class and 48C sweerage. I cannot yet tell what rates I will make. The dead weight cargo capacity will be 5000 tons. “These vessels are now being built on the northwest coast of England—two at | Sunderiand and the third at Newcastle- on-Tyne. The steamers will all be alike and a little larger than the China, so well preme Courtof the United States, which in substance declares that all associations which have for their purpose the mainte- nance of agreed rates and the division of traffic are illegal. This is the interpretation of the Su- vreme Court of the anti-trust law passed by Congress in 1890, so far as it applies to railyoads operated in more than one State. Among the associations that are affected by this decision, and of which the South- ern Pacific is a member, are the Transcon- tinental Freight Rate Committee and the Transcontinental Passenger Association. It is generally agreed among railroad people and their legal advisers that the result of the decision will be to compel the dissolution of all such organizations. What this, present prepared to say. The fact is ap- preciated that the decision is very far- reaching, and that if its effect isnot medi- fied by some action of Congress looking to an amendment of the law it will have a most disastrous effect on the railroad properties of the country. In view of the widespread trepidation and confusion that_has been caused by it t salient fee! ' My baby had Eczema in its worst form.

In view of the disruptions and with- drawals that have taken place in the East, it has been reported that a rate war of great dimensions is in prospect. This | | view 1s not held, hawever, by one of the principal traflic ‘officials of the Southern Pacific. While this gentleman agrees | with the opinions that the decision means the dissolution of alil intersiate fiic ar- | rangements between all transportation | companies, ne believes that u general rate | v 1 not necessarily follow. o railroad manager who is responsi- ble for the revenues of his company,” 3aid this official yesterday, “wili do any- thing to disturb the present sizuation, s0 | |far as rates are concerned. Nothing would be gained thereby excepta loss of revenue and large wear and tear of men- tal energy. I think that all the com- | panies involved will await further devel- | | opments rezarding this question. There | has just been decided a similar case in the New York Circuit Court of Appeals. In this the interstate commerce act was | involved, and the cour: held just con- | | trary to' the Supreme Court. The case | will now go to the Supreme Court, and be- fore the railroad people know what to ex- | pect and what 1o do they will have to wait the decision of the Supreme Court | in the pending case. | “Thedecision as it now stands is revo- | lnsionary in_its character. It means that | | no line doing an interstate business can | combine with another line engaged simi- | Jarly in making a through rate lower than the combined local ratesof ihe companies. This would effectually prevent rail com- petition with the Panama line or with the Canada Pacific, and would work a great hardship on all 1he transcontinental lines. | | No line would be able to quote a through | rate, but would have to publish only its | own rate, putting the shipper to the| trouble of making separate arrangements { with each connecting line, between the point of shipment and the destination. | Any company making a through rate | would lay itself open to a charge of hav- ing violated this particular act. It will ‘ thus be seen that the enforcement of the act will in reality work a restraint of com- merce. “Instead of precipitating a rate war 1 | believe it will spur every manager who is | responsible for the revenues of his com- pany 1o just an opposite course. I think rates wili remain just as tiey are until we | know definitely what to expect.” { ——— KIVERSIDE VISITED. | Buntington and Party Inspect & New | Kight-of- Way. RIVERSIDE, Can, March 24.—C. P. Huntington, president of the Southern Pacific and Central Pacific roads, accom- panied by Mrs. Huntington, H. E. Hunt- ington, J. C. Stubbs, J. Kruttschnitt, J. C. Chapman and other offizials of the great corporation, arrived in this city to- day. Mr. Huntingtou is en route to this coast via the Sunset line and made his | first stop in the State in this city. The visitors spent the day looking about the | city and over the right-of-way for the | company's proposed line Irom Riverside to Pomons, via Corona. They left this evening for Los Angeles. Mr. Huntiugton’s visit here at this time is believed to indicate the early com- mencement of work on the new line -of road, for the company has only recently secured a complete right-of-way. —_— Spain has more sunshine than any other country in Europe.

They will be uble to make | seventeen knots an hour. “They will run from Hongkong (in- cluding pessibly Shanghai) via Soko- bama and Kobe, and possibly Honolulu, 1o San Francisco. This will be the end of the line. There is no prospect now that we will run to San Diego. I looked into that carefully and finally gave it up. This is the pigce.” 2 Mr. A<ano was asked about the San Diego telegram which said that an enor- mous tract of land had_been secured in Chiapas, Mex., by Sho Nemoto for coloni- zation purposes and would be colonized by Japanese. Also that steamers might be made to run to Tehauntepec, connect- ing with the railroad and remotely with the colony. He said about 1,000,000 acres had been secured, so_he understood, but he did not know the detais. As for the Tehauntepec steamship venture, he said the harbor was not at presentdeep enough and would have to be improvea before the enterprise was feasible. Mr. Asano is a millionaire many_times over. He is heavily interested in pe- troleum in Japan, in the manufacture of | cement, in shipping and many other en- terprises. He occupies a suite of four luxurious rooms at the Palace. MUST BE TRED AGH The Jury in the Slavich Dam- age Case Fails to Agree. It is Understood Ttat They Stood 7 Against 5 in Favor of the Plaintiff. The case of Andrew Slavich against the Southern Pacific Railroad Company, which began trial before Judge Bahrs on Monday, went to the jury late last e ven- ing. About midnight the jury was called in and, having announced that there was no possibility of an agreement, was dis- charged. It was .ascertained that the jury stood 7 for the plaintiff and b for the defendant. In the three days’ trial the ground of complaint and the defense of the company were gone over with great care by the counsel in the case, Jonn E. Richards for the plaintiff and General Barnes for the defendants, and in their respective argu- ments before the jury the facts as drawn from the witnesses—assuming them to be facts—were summed up from their respective poin Blavich was very badly injured by being run into by a Southern Pacific train on Center street, San Jose, on_the aiternoon of the Ist of July, 1895. He'is a cripple, unable to move about without the aid of crutghes and his physician declares he will remain so for life. He' told the story on the wilness-stand in this w He is a fruit and vegetable peddler, and on the afternoon in question, having ' disposed of his goods, he was making his way home quite leisurely, his little eleven-year-old boy driving and he himself sitting in the body of the wagon. As they crossed the tracks of the Southern Pacific narrow-gauge on Center street, father and son noticed at the same time the approach of an engine and train, com- ing_ at a lively pace. They attempted to whip up the horse, but before they could get our of danger the engine was upon them and struck the wagon and the man who fell from it. The tire of a wheel was knocked froin the wagon, the horse ran away, with the boy in the seat, yelling with fright. The train was stooped and Slavich, half unconscious, was picked up from under the third car. He was in a terribly bat- tered condition, blood flowing from a severe gash in the heaq, four of his ribs were broken and his shoulder and his hip dislocated. For months he was confined to bed, and he is still and will always be a. cripple. The question of neglect or responsi- bility for the accident was that upon which the case hinged, of course. The prosecation introduced a half dozen dis- interested witnesses who were in the im- mediate vicinity and who declared the train was running from seven to fifteen miles an hour when jt came round the curve in sight of the wagon, and that no a collision with a swift-moving engine. He called attention to the fact that all the witnesses who testified that the warn- ing beil was ringing and that the train was moving at the snail’s pace that per- mitted the wagon to back into it at almost a standstill were men whose occupations wouid be gone did they not so testify; whose every interest it was to so declare. General Barnes, on the other hand, also offered the plaintiff himself in evidence that the train could not have been movine fast, declaring that had it been he and his wagon would both have been scattered along the highway, a wrecked mass. The engineer sounded the warning bell at places of danger with the same auto- matic regularity with which he breathed. “Of course the bell was ringing,” he said. “Why shoutdn’t itbe?”’ He char- acterized the ciaims of the plaintiff and his counsel as absurd and unreasonable. Both counsel offered points of law to be incorporated in the court’s charge, and at half-past 5 o’clock the case was given 1o the jury. SERIOUS ACCUSATIONS. Mrs. Pettee and Mrs. Greenwood Claim the Latter’s Grandson Was Kail- roaded to Confilnement. The case of little George Edwin Morris, son of George Morris, the Alameda County grocer, seems in a fair way to stir up a great deal of trouble, as it has already reached the excitement stage. The story of how the boy, who is only 12 years of | age, ran away and came to his grand- mother in this City on account of alleged cruel treatment received at the hands of his father has already been told. Yesterday the grandmotner, Mrs. 8. M. Greenwood, who lives at 829 Francicco | street, came before tne officials of the So- ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Chiidren and asked their intervention in bebalf of the boy, who she said had been taken to Alameda and railroaded to the | Boys' and Girls' Aid Society for three months. She was accompanied by Mrs. John Pettee, who also was very indignant. Among the charges the boy and his | grandmother make against the father is, that he forced the boy to eat mustard un- til his mouth was raw, stood him on his head, beat him across the soles of his bare feet, and otherwise maltreated him be- | cause he could not agree with his step- mother. Mrs. Pettee asserts that the boy’s mouth was in a fearful condition when he was | brought under her charge by the grand- | motber. She also is very indignant at the father, who she asserts threatened her for the interest she took in the boy. . - TO OPEN GROVE STREET. Property-Owners Are About to Push the Undertaking. Ata meeting of the Hayes Valley Im- provement Club last night a plan was sub- mitted appointing Charles Alpers, Phil | Fay, William Ehrenpfort, Casper Ziwer- | lein and Ferdimnand Siefke attorneys in fact, with power to levy an assessment upon all the property to be benefited by the opening of the street through Alamo square and also impowering them to enter into contracts for the fulfiliment of the work. The concluding clause of the plan re- quires that the signers pay the assessment levied inside of thirty days after the work has been approved by the Superintendent of Streets. —_———— OARPENTERS' DISTRIOT COUNOIL It Deplores the Practice of Letting Con- tracts to Eastern Firms A meeting of the District Council of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America was held last evening at 102 O'Farrell street. A long resolution was passed reciting that a large portion of those who follow carpentering for a living in this and ad- jacent cities are without employment be- cause there is no work to be obtained. They deplored the practice of local cap- italists in letting contracts to firms, the members of which reside in Eastern cities, thereby depriving local carpenters of the work which they consider rightly belongs to them. An instance cited in the resolu- tions refers to one of the Spreckels build- ings, the inside work of which has been let to a Chicago firm. - The resolution was concluded by a general condemnation by the District Council of the practice com- plained of.

The Merchants’ Assoctation is much pleased | to find that its efforts in behalf of better pavements are meeting with practical success. At the recent meeting of owners of property abutting cobbled pavements 1t was decided to contribute one-half of the expense of repav- ing these blocks. The City agreed to contribute the other half. The property-owners on Geary street, between Kearny and Powell, having agreed to this proposition, the Board of Su- pervisors has now published the resolution of award for the repavement of these three blocks with modern bituminous pavement. A bond will be given by the contractors guaran- teeing to keep these blocks in good repair for a period of five years without any further cost or expense to the City. Itisexpected that the repavement of these three blocks will be soon followed by the improyement of all the other uo;vnllnuwn streets that are now covered with cobbles.
