Ay The investigation to be continued in this leity to-day by the Interstate Commerce | Commission is one of vital importance to the commercial interests not only of San | Francisco but of the entire Pacific Coast. Briefly the whole matter resolves itself | into a fight of the jobbers of the Middle | West to control the trade of the Pacific Coast, throttle its wholesalers and rob this territory of its individuality and make it tributary to St. Louis and other large | Western commercial centers. The jobbers of the Pacific Coast will not submit to the greed of the St. Louis peo- ple without a determined opposition. Dur- ing the session of the commission held in Los Angeles much testimony was brought out to show that there was no diserimina- tion in freight rates against the jobbers of the Middle West. was also demon- strated that the St. Louis wholesalers had no thought for the consumer in the pres- [ent strugsle, but were making the fight v for the purpose of increasing their n profits. | “Merchants of San Francisco are pre- pared to supplement the testimony given {in Los Angeles with equally strong evi- dence of the injustice that would be done | the coast if any alterations are made in | the existing differentials. Four members of the Interstate Com- | merce Commission, accompanied by thelr | clerks and a number of attorneys, rail- road men and business men interested in the cases now being heard by them, ar- rived from the south vesterday noon and registered at the Palace Hotel. Chair- man Martin A. Knapp, who was unable to attend the meeting at Los Angeles, ar- rived from the East in time to join his | colleagues on _their journey northward and will sit with the commission to-da: The other members in town are: Ex-Go ernor J.

This explains why dark looks are di- rected to the delinquents who would not | stand part of the burden when the case | looked black for the teachers. The assess- | would not have exceeded more than | for each teacher, but this, according to their brethren who'paid up like little men and women, makes it all the more repre- hensible, Another difficulty which the committee had to contend with was that in the set- tlement with the Union Trust Company, which paid over the $/000 from moneys held in trust, thirty-seven would not sign e agreement. Of these eight are jan- itors and twenty-nine teachers. This ne- seitated the giving of a bond of $2500 the committee, which entailed an ad- tional expense. No other reason is as- gned for this refusal to sign except iat it was thought that it would be a surrender of their rights to the merchants and in the nature of a bribe to the latter, who had presented the teachers with & bonus of §7000 over and above their de- | mands. The final report of the committee will | be read this afternoon at 4 o’'clock in | Judge Garber's office, when a full finan- cal statement will be read, and the busi- ness for which the committee was ap- | pointed will be concluded.

They Engaged in a Dispute About Their Daughter Going to a Picnic and That Was All SRR Mrs. Kate Linegar, wife of James P. Linegar, painter, 1158 Harrison street, committed suicide yesterday afternoon by swallowing a dose of carbolic acld. She was taken to the Rrcelving Hospital In | the ambulance but died in about an hour after reaching there and her body was removed to the Morgue. The picnic season opened yesterday and Mrs. Linegar and her husband had a quarrel about their daughter going to a picnic. The father had objected to the | girl going, but the mother allowed her to go. Mrs. Linegar had the bottle uti acid in the house, and during the quarrel £he took it and went outside. Her hus- band Jooked out of the window and saw her take the cork out of the bottle, and looking toward him said, “Here goes, Jim,” and swallowed the contents. She fell shrieking to the ground and Linegar rushed outside and carried her into the house. He was so excited that valuable ime was lost in notifying the hos- pital. Dr. Cherry did all he could for the unfortunate woman, but the deadly poison had got too much headway. Her hus- band and second son were with her when she died. She was 44 years of age and had five grown children. The eldest son came to the hospital after she died and his grief ‘was pathetic. He defled the Morgue of- ficials to take his mother’'s body away and it was some minutes before they could quiet him down. The girl did not know of her mother's death till she returned from the ricnie.
