Kelly, man- lll r of the Oakland neit Company, na e accepted the gage of battle thrown | down by Egbert B. Stone, the prominent | contractor, concerning the new schedule of fares over the Oukland, San Leandro and Haywards division of the Transit Company's system. Both of the railroad men declare that the abolition inflict a hardship upon of ther patrons. Mr. Havens sald: “The idea in the change of fares was It & a mere hand- ful of people who travel on cummutation tickets between Haywards, or San Lean- dro and Oakland, But Mr. Stone’ many chief se for com- plaint les in the fact that the residents in that large territory about Elmhurst are now without the commutation privi- lege. In his reply to Mr. Stone. who was one of the road's big stockholders before Ha“ s sold, Manager Kelly has this to say Taking Ocgober as a tvpical month, when service was not interrupted and travel was at the maximum, our récords show that the in- come from commutation tickets of all kinds was less than 8 per cent of the total income; that the total number of commuters from O: land to Haywards was 17; from Oakland to San Leandro, 180; free passengers exclusive of em- ploves, 1415; that the total number of paying passengers exclusive of _commuters was in round numbers 63.000. We belleve, therefore, that our patro per cent of our a reduction of 20 per cent in the round trip rate and 33 1-3 per cent in the single fare rate Sen Leandro and Haywards and 50 per ceni reduction in T from San Leandro to San Lorenzo. The reduced rates will undoubtedly result in reduced reve- nue at first, but we belleve that a sacrifice of immediate revenue is warranted by the ulti mate benefit that will result to all the eiti- ne of Alameda County who are interested in cheap transportation. A cash fare as low as the business conditions will permit, with tran: fers to connecting lines in Alameda, Oakland and Berkeley, with special privileges and free is a sound business proposit passes 1o none ch on wh with the approval we think large majc The residents of Elmhurst who desire a modification of the new schedule as af- fecting their section have called mas meeting for to-morrow night for consid: eration of the proposition.

WHIGH WAS useD TO SCALE THE WALL AND PART OF THE RopE LADER ., AKLAND, Dec. 27.—The first trace of the whereabouts of W. Frank Case and William Kelley, who escaped from the County Jail, has been uncovered by William Davis, a conductor on the Webster street broad- gauge train, whose story definitely settles | the fact tha freedom hou the daring prisoners gained before yvesterday's dawn, at which time the Sheriff originally be- lieved they broke jail Davis, who knows C: well, saw depot at 11 o'clock Christmas night. The conductor talked with the escaped prisoners, not realizing that his passen- | gers had gained thelr liberty by breaking | | i to jail. Although Davis was a bit surprised had been in trouble with the police, he gave the presence of the run- away no special thought. Case and Ke ley rode in the smoking car to Lhe Ala meda mole and the ferry-boat Bay City. “You sce, sald Conductor Davis to- night, “I had an idea that Case had got out of his scrape, so T paid no further attention to him. 1 observed that Case and Kelley, sight, were very the fugitiv dirt Their clothing | was_covered with a Neither man was at all nervous and there was nothing in their demeanor tc indicate that they feared pursuit. They were making no attempt to conceal them- selves from public view.” During a t conversation with Case, Davis =aid his passenger made an off- hand remark that he was going to ship aboard a_vessel in San Francisco and get out of the country. Even that remark did not arouse Davis’ suspicions that anything was wrong. Escapes Head for San Francisco. The pair of runaways went to the Ala- meda pier and Conductor Davis says he believes they boarded the last boat for €an Francisco. He saw nothing more of them after he went through the train selling tickets. Such is the evidence that effectually disposes of Sheriff Rogers' theory that the men broke jail vesterday morning. They were out of prison before the last hour of Christmas day, had gone. Hav- ing escaped In time to catch the I1: train to San Francisco, the men could not have been in their cells at the regu- lar hour—9 p. m.—for locking up. It is row supposed that they were hidden PROFESS0RS MEET FOR DISGUSSION Two Sessions of Pacific Coast Philological Society. The Philological Association of the Pacific Coast held yesterday the third and fourth sessions of the third annual meeting at the Mark Hopkins Institute. Learned professors of the Universities of California, Oregon and Stanford presented | papers criticizing, elucidating and analyz- ing the classical masterpieces of the authors of antiquity. beautles in the productions of each writer and his Individual mode of expression were designated and explained. President Benjamin Ide Wheeler of the ‘niversity of Califorria read a paper on he Position of the Persian Fleet at Balamis,” following the account given by Aeschylus and Herodotus. In presenting his subject President Wheeler used a map lustrate the positions of the two con- tending forces. He guoted from both authors to prove that Herodotus' account of the battle is entirely self consistent and not inconsistent with the aescription given by Aeschylus. Much interest was mani- fested in President Wheeler's disserta- tion and at the conclusion of his paper lot on E line of Telegraph avenue, | many of the professors joined in a discus- sion of the points advanced. At the morning session papers were read by Dr. H. W. Prescott of the University of California, Professor H. R. Fairclough of Standford Uniyversity, Professor H. K. Shilling of University of California, Presi- dent H. T. Archibald of Occidental Col- lege and Professor J. Matzke of Stan- ford University.

San Francisco Tent of the Maccabees had a Christmas time festival for old and young in its hall in the Ploneer building last night. There were several hundred persons_present, including the members of San Francisco and Fraternal hives, the ladies' branch of the order. The feature of the evening was a large Christmas tree made bright with tinsel and fancy ornaments and loaded with packages that were addressed to members of the tent and the hives and thelr children.

That he was a former jail- Lird was known to only a few people outside of the police. They had lteen keeping close watch upon his movements. It was this careful espionage which led to_his arrest with Charles Merrill for the 10bbery of a Chinese on the Eighth-street tridge. This was the charge upon which Case wad awaiting trial. Saws Used Found by Sheriff. The saws used in cutting through the bars at the jail were found to-day in one of the cells. .~ jailbreakers had left them within convenient reach of any other felon that became wearied of con- finement, but the Sheriff found them first. The Sheriff is too greatly concerned over the loss of his prisoners to take other than a serious view of the situation.

The five steps attached to the ten- | which enabled them to reach the roof are all carved with fantastic designs.

There is no evidence of hurry at any stage of the operations, and it now seems | certain that most of the prisoners in the felon’s department were interested par- tlcl{pants in the plot. Meanwhile the broken bars are being re- placed, and for the present the freedom of the corridor is denied those prisoners who did not run away.

In all these, he said, there had been only six great questions suggested, viz., slavery, reconstruction, currency, the tariff, the trusts and imperialism. But three of these had been definitely decided.

Acheson, convicted on December 20 of selling 1 toxicating liquor within one mile of the State Unlversity, appeared for sentence this morning and was fined $500 by Justice Edgar. Acheson’s attorney, A. L. Frick, filed notice of appeal to the Superior Court.

Young Acheson received the maximum | fine which could be imposed upon him un- der the law. The extreme penalty for the misdemeanor of which he is convicted is $500 and six months in jail.
