RAILROAD SITUATION
vICE-PRESIDENT STUBBS MAKES A
FEW OBSERVATIONS.
He Thinks There Is Little Hope of OBJ
tanning Reduced Rates for Dried Fruit
and Canned Goods-Eis Views of the
Newly Formed Traffic Association.

SAN Francisco, Oct. 31.-J. G. Stubbs,
third vice president of the Southern Pa
cifc company, who has just re-
turned from the east, said today
that there was apparently little
prospect of the eastern lines
consenting to participate in the reduc-
tion in rates ON dried fruits and canned
goods, adopted by the Transcontinental
association,
"The representatives OF these roads,"
he continued, 'say that there is more
profit in hauling eastern goods to
Montana and other parts of the country,
where the trade is not controlled by
California fruit-men, than there is in
carrying California produce to the east.
If reduced rates can be secured, how
ever, we mean to get them"
Speaking of the California Traffic as
sociation, Mr.. Stubbs said: ''It will be
all very we'll if the merchants refuse to
be guided by anti-railroad agitators.
From the standpoint of the railroad, l
think the movement will do no harm. l
do not see how it can result in build
ing competing line. Then l am conf
dent, aside from any ir1ucement that
may be held out by the San Francisco
people, that competing line will come
here before long. / do not think it
would be good policy for the Santa Fe
to build to this city, for it has
already got line here in virtue of its
contract with us. The only reason for
its building line is the local traffic
which it would secure. In respect to
this, its competition would not hurt our
system, while, as for through business.
it is already strong competitor"

SUMMONED FOR CONTEMPT.
Boodier to Be Cinched for Refusing to
Incriminate Himself.

Boodler to Be Cinched for Refusing to
Incriminate Himself.
SAN Francisco, Oct. Ex-senator w.
H. Williams, of San Francisco, has. on
application of Jerry Lynch, been sum-
moned to appear before Judge Wallace
for contempt in refusing to answer a
question put to him by the grand jury
as to whether he received money for his
vote on senate bill No. 81. Williams
declined to answer, on the ground that
he refused to be made witness against
himself A bench warrant has been
issued, with bail fixed at $500.
According to the story Of George W..
Faylor, in Judge Wallace's court, when
the Doodle case was on trial, Williams
was the originator of the celebrated
combine" of twenty-four. Taylor
says Williams suggested the thing,
and at his request took
him to Dan Burns, and it was arranged
that the nine San Francisco senators
who had agreed to vote together, should
do so whenever Burns told them money
for their votes had been paid. This
was the nucleus of a larger combine.
Subsequently seven interior senators
joined the nine, making sixteen, and al
ter that the sixteen were joined by
eight who had agreed to permit Burns
to do "business" for them. This was
Faylor's story in court, and it was the
intention OF the grand jury to examine
Williams upon this matter.
Senate bill No. 6, which Williams was
asked about, according to Lynch's aft
davit, was a bill to reassess the rail-
roads OF the state for delinquent taxes.

Associated Press Dispatches
SAN RAFAEL, CAL, Oct. 31.-Much
speculation has been INDUCED in during
the last few days as to the reason of
Henry, alias "Dutchy" Baker, pleading
guilty of murder. On his preliminary
examination the preponderance of evil
dence was in his favor, and it was
thonght manslaughter would be the ex-
tent of the verdict, if the case came to
trial. A reporter interviewed Baker in
his cell in the county Jail on the SUBJ
ject. Baker was found pacing the
corridor in front of his cell.
He presented haggard and
worn appearance. On being asked his
reason for pleading guilty. when he
would be likely to get a much lighter
sentence by standing trial, he said that
he would be willing to submit to most
any punishment in order to escape con-
finement in the Marin county jail. He
said: "The place is haunted. Every
night about II O'Clock have
been awakened by noises of
heavy weights dropping on the
concretes; the rattling of chains;
the SldlHuluS VI lIOu uooAp, ohu oiIO
steady tramp, tramp of some invisible
spook. This thing became unbearable
to me, and had / not pleaded guilty, |
would have been insane before my trial
was over"
Inquiry in the sheriff's office was not
unsuccessful. A number of prisoners
confined in the Jail during the past few
yearsy have made similar complaints.
About year ago w. f. Argo, convict
arrested for burglary, made an
attempt to escape by saving the iron
bars from his window. His attempted
escape was discovered. That same
evening he hanged himself in his cell.
Prisoners confined in the Jail at the
time declared that Argo made his ap-
pearance nightly thereafter. When
Baker first complained to the sheriff of
the nightly visitant, deputy was in
structed to watch for any nocturnal Wis
itors. The first night of his vigil he
heard unmistakable sounds proceeding
from the tanks where Baker was con-
fined. An examination OF the cells re-
vealed no cause for the strange noises.
The rer dtation the Jail has gained on
account of its spooks is well-known
among the tramp fraternity, and they
give it very wide berth.

MERCHANTS SURPRISED.
An Attempt at Smuggling Disclosed by
ShipWreck.

SAN Francisco, Oct. H.--A New York
dispatch stating that consignment Of
goods to Steinberger, Kalisher d Co., of
this city, which was found among the
cargo of the steamer Eldorado, wrecked
off the Bahama islands, contained
articles other than those named in the
invoice, caused some surprise in mer-
camille circles here today. The firms
place of business adjoins that OF Neu-
berger, Reiss & Co., member of which
firm is under indictment for efforts to
smuggle goods through the custom
house, but no suspicion had hitherto
attached to the first named firm. Col
lector Phelps said that the fraud would
surely have been discovered had the
goods been sent to the custom house,
and that, in fact, every consignment OF
dry goods is now sent to the appraisers
for examination. The firm profess to
be ignorant OF how six cases invoiced as
containing linen towels, came to contain
kid gloves.
