The Railroad Commissioners at thet regular ‘meeting yesterday afternoon ssed a resolution authorizing and direct- ing Attorney General Ford to take the necessary steps to compel the Southern Pacific Company to restore the $3 75 rate | from San Francisco to Fresno and he will prepare legal papers to-morrow to ae- complish that result. ‘When the meeting was called only Com- missioners Edson and Laumeister were present, Blackstock having gone East on Saturday to attend the Milwaukee con- ference.” After a reading of the minutes the following resolution was introduced | and immediately adopted: Resolved, That the Attorney General be and he Is hereby authorized and instructed to take such proceedings as be may be advised are necessary to compel the obedience by the Southern Pacific Company to the order of this board made on the 7th day of May, 1900. in the | case of Moore vs. the Southern Pacific Com- | pany. | _Late in the afternoon Attorney General Ford received a copy of the order and he at once began work on the case. One of ! two courses is left open to him, he says —to petition for a writ of mandate or to petition for a writ of injunction. The for- | mer course is positive in character and | ‘wlll probably be followed by the Attor- | ney General in this case. By the issuance of a writ of mandate the railroad com- any would be compelled to restore the ?& 75 passenger rate. Injunction proceed- ings are negative in character, but more eflicacious and speedy. If the writ is pe- titioned for the application to the courts will be to enjoin the railroad company Hmm charging more ®han 3375 for the ticket. The Southern Pacific law department will fight the case, cI¥ming that the $3 75 | reduction from the old rate of $ % was | not a reduction %o meet competition, but special—something in the nature of what { O. McCormick, general passenger 1!:9\'1( calls a commutation of rights be- | ! tween' the rallroad company and the pas- | senger. He claims that all the time the $3 75 tickets were being offered to the pub- lic the $5 % were also on sale. The re- duced rate, ticket allowed no stop-over rivileges. This is the contention of the | Southern Pacific. The Commissioners re- fused to accept this shrewd technical con- | | struction of the reduction and now it will ‘nlemeun for the courts to settle the mud- e. Inquest on William Klinge.
