BIG INTERESTS AT STAKE. It was these companies that the planned by the Pacific Company would ruin thelr business on the coast. The repre- sentatives these jumber concerns disclaimed interest in schooners that are involved In the passenger traffic along the coast, yet the steam- ship com purposed to enter into competition th them. C. A. Hooper & Co. practically control three of the largest lumber companies doing busi- ness in Southern California, namely the Southern California Lumber Com- pany, the L. W. Blinn Lumber Com- Russ Lumber and Mill which Pope & Talbot are F. P. & J. W. Hooper are at the head of the San Pedro Lum- ber Company, which has its docks and yards at San Pedro, These propcriies have been leased for Pacific Coast Company, Company, in also interest tion of its own lumber business. The Hoopers, besides their agencies at\the seaports, have numerous yards along the lines of the Southern Pacific_and Santa Fe lines. In fact, they control nearly two-thirds of the lumber busi- ness in Southern California, of which San Pedro, as the general distributing point, and handles nearly 300,000,000 feet annually. HARRIMAN TO THE RESCUE. If these immense lumber interests | | natural tr | say the Southern Niblack-Harrington Wedding Held at Home of Bride’s Pa THREE POPULAR BELLES, WHO DANCED AT THE CO- TILLON CLUB ASSEMBLY. 3 l ; ed the Southern Pacific nta Fe companies would lose amount of profitable local traff 1d it did not take the freight traffic agents of the two roads long to and the § fully appreciate the danger that threat- | en i them and to report the facts to their superiors. Then followed the mandate of Har- riman, issued through the office of Traffic Director Stubbs in Chicago and concurred in by the officials of the anta Fe road. The representatives of the Pacific Coast Company were quiet- ly informed that while the’ railroad compa were in sympathy with their | concern in its efforts to protect its ocean passenger trafiic, the latter couid not be permitted to jeopardize the whole lumber business of the coast and deprive the railroads of their share of c by indiscriminate War- fare, as it was termed, nst the big traders of the State. i The Pacific Coast Company has been informed that the Southern Pacific Company’s agents are ready to assist the steamship company in an adjust- | ment of the existing difficulties and will even go so far as to temporarily ally itgelf with the ocean line in forc- ing the lumber schooner owners out of the business that does not seem to | properly belong to them, but in no case, Pacific Company's agents, will co-operation be undertaken where it is likely to affect the lumber trade as a whole, as the Pacific Coast Company’s project now threatens. EDICT TO LUMBERMEN. To the schooner owners the edict has gone forth from the railroad that if they persist in engaging in passenger traffic the land lines will arrange for carrying lumber and delivering it at the points touched by the schooners at a rate that will make freight handling a ruinous business for the vessels now engaged in it. In short Harriman is prepared to stand by the interests, which, apparently, without proper jus- tification, are threatened with ruin by the trade competition about to be in- augurated by the Pacific Coast Tom- pany in the interests of its steamship enterprise. As yet no intimation as to what stand it purposes to take in the face of Har- riman’s threat has been given by the Pacific Coast Company, nor the own- ers of the schooners that are hauling passengers up and down the coast, but the presumption is that they will show fight, for they laugh at the prospects of the Southern Pacific Company engag- ing itself to haul lumber at this par- ticular time of the year, when, as its own general manager has already ad- mitted, it has not enough cars to meet the demand of ordinary traffic over its lines or'motive power to haul its reg- ular trains. MANY MILLS INVOLVED. Among the lumber mill companies that are accused of handling passen- gers between coast ports, and against which the Pacific Coast Company is mainly directing its present fight, are the Charles Nelson Company, J. R. —— C. E Pugh, ) ., Willlam F. Hooke, Ed n, Walter H. ‘)inl'm\ n, Dan McCord and O. H. | Hoag Jr | R AT R | The marriage of Miss Mary Harring- |ton ana Lieutenant Commander Albert [ P. Niblack took place vesterday after- | noon at 3 o'clock at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. William | P. Harrington, 2129 California street. Chaplain A. A. McAllister, U. S. N., of- ficiated. Owing to the serious illness of Mr. Harrington, the bride's father, the large number of invitations jssued were recalled and only half a dozen rélatiyes witnessed the marriage cere- mony. Those present yesterday were: Mrs. Harrington; Miss Louise Harrington, the bride's sister; Mrs. Tennent Har- rington of Colusa, Mrs. Beach, an aunt of the bride; Lieutenant Leahy and J. H. Jewett. | f | Hanify & Co., George D. Gray & Co., Swayne & Hoyt, the Robert Dollar Steamship Company, Pollard & Co. and | Beadle Bros. Between Puget Sound and Grays Harbor on the north coast and San Pedro and San Diego on the | southern coast there are at present ope- rating a fleet of sixty odd schooners, ! the majority of which are carrying passengers, who, in the absence of this means of travel, would have to patron |ize the Pacific Coast steamships. A large number of these vessels load in the north and on their way down the coast put into this port for passengers. frequently getting twenty and thirty at a time. At Grays Harbor and on the Sound the passenger business develcped by the schooners has become so large that agencies have been establishd for plac- ing the traffic and thousands of dollars are paid in commissions. These agents in the north have even gone so far as to contract for traffic in Tacoma and other points and pay the way of pas- sengers over rail to the ports of sail- | ing. |‘ MAY CUT THE RATES. | In fact, the business has become so enormous that the rallroads “ave been forced to take cognizance of it, but they have determined on -no plan by which thev can get a share of it be- cause, as stated before, it is second to the Pacific Coast Steamship Com- | pany if the latter's new competitor was to withdraw from competition. | In so far as a fight with the Pacific | Coast Company is concerned, that is, | if the latter should see fit to defy the efforts cf Harriman to bring about a peaceful settlement of the existing trouble for the protection of the lum- ber interests that are contributing to the railroad company’s revenue in the | south, the railroad would have an ad- vantage over the steamship company. | It could make a deep cut into rates between San Francisco and southern | ports and soon control a large share | of the business that it now permits the | steamships to enjoy. The cutting of | rates, however, is not to the liking of the head of the Southern Pacific Com- | pany, and it is to avoid this that his | agents seek to bring about a settle- ment of the present troubles between | the Pacific Coast Company and the | lumber men in a more friendly manner. | At the secret meeting in Los Angeles last week ro definite action was de- | cided on between the big lumber men |and Mr. Luce. The last named was forced to leave the south in order to join General Manager Kruttschnitt and | other officials of the road in their jour- ‘ney over to Ogden, but he made it | clear to the Hoopers and others at the meeting that Harriman is determined to protect them and will personally take up the matter with Kruttschnitt and Stubbs when he arrives here late this week.

ATTORNEY FOULDS EXPLAINS. | When asked yesterday concerning the | mortgage, Attorney Foulds stated that it was simply to furnish means for properly operating the roads, and he { added: “The Southern Pacific Company of| | Kentucky has realized the need of ad- | | ditional equipment with which to op- erate the roads on which it has a lease. | It has gone into the market and pur- | | chased the necessary material and | | loaned it to the Southern Pacific Rail- ! road Company and the Central Pacific | Railroad. It has borrowed the money | to pay for the equipment and has given | as security the rolling stock of the | | companies. Being a foreign corpora- tion it was necessary that the mortgage be recorded in the county in which the main offices of the company are locat- | ed and we complied with that require- ment to-day.” In this indebtedness, thrust upon the leased lines, shrewd financiers foresee final trouble. These roads, about twenty-three in number, including the | Central Pacific Railroad, Southern Pa- | cific Company of California, Southern Pacific Company of Arizona, Southern Pacific Company of New Mexico, Hous- ton and Texas, Galt and Ione Railroad, the Sacramento Valley Railroad, Tulare and Porterville Railroad and numerous other small branches, together with va- rious other properties, among them the buildings at Fourth and Townsend streetg and lands along the Oakland estuary, are forced to share the burden of interest and principal of the debt. Another loan ostensibly for the bet- terment of the service may follow this one, and the Interest and cost of wear and tear will continue to increase upon the leased roads. Eventually, accord- ing to the views of shrewd men, the companies will drift into bankruptcy, as has been the fate of nearly all the roads in the country except those found- ed and fostered by the late Collls P. Huntington, and will then, as a last resort, be merged into the Southern Pa- cific Company of Kentucky as the mea. ger asset of a once great liability. ‘With all the roads of the Southern Pacific systems under its absolute con- trol, the Harriman syndicate would create for itself a position in the world of traffic and finance that could not be easily attacked by the other ambitious railroad combines, now struggling for supremacy in this country.

CHINESE BOY HAS SOME INFLUENTIAL FRIENDS Henry Quong Is Released From the Penitentiary and Held Up for Deportation. Henry Quong, a Chinese lad about 18 years of age, was released from the County Jail yesterday by the Federal authorities on a bond of $500 furnished by former Senator Charles N. Felton. Quong was awaiting examination on deportation proceedings and had been in jail a week. He had been arrested by the United States immigration of- ficials immediately upon being released from the penitentiary at San Quentin, where he had served part of a sentence for embezzlement, his father and moth- er having been the prosecutors. Quong was to be deported as a Chi- nese felon, but he claims that he was | born in Marysville and that he has never been out of this State. He speaks English perfectly. He was released from the penitentiary on recommenda. tion of Prison Director Wilkins and Senator Felton, his conduct having been exemplary. —_— e ‘Will Open December First.

Mrs. A. W. Allen of 139 Rose avenue nd her niece came near dying last | night as a result of taking some bi- | chloride of mercury tablets to cure | dyspepsia. Early in the evening the | woman went to a drug store and asked for some antiseptic tablets. She first asked for charcoal tablets, then for an- tiseptic tablets, and said that she | wanted them for a case of dyspepsia. | The clerk misunderstood her meaning and thinking that she wanted an anti- septic wash gave her the bichloride. She took two tablets and gave her niece, who was suffering with the same trouble, one. They immediately began to have a ‘queer feeling, as they term- ed it, and hastened to the Emergency Hospital. Dr. Armstead pumped the poison from their stomachs just in time and saved them from death. Hereafter, the women say, they will get their dyspepsia medicine on a doctor’s pre- scription.
