FREIGHT RATES ON PEACHES. IT his
is the subject of an editorial in the BOs-
ton Advertiser of Thursday, too lengthy
for transcription here, the gravamen of
which is that Boston is still, because
of the attitude of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Disseminated against as place
for Peninsular peaches. Two years
ago, there were no peach shipments
last year, the freight rate to Boston for
a through car of Delaware peaches,
was 1920. The Boston dealers petition
ed the interstate commerce commission
and got this rate cut down to $l72. the
reduction to be appOrtiOned fairly
among the roads making up the
through line. The New York and New
England, and New York and New
Haven roads, which handles the fruit
after it reaches New York, are willing
says the Advertiser to meetthe reduced
rate and have together offered to shout
der $40 of the proposed reduction
The Pennsylvania railroad, on the
other hand, has shown a disposition to
evade the decision of the commission
and proposes to stand out for the full
rate charged two years ago.

MURDER WILL OUT.
Light Thrown Upon the Death of San
Francisco Merchant.

SAN FRANCISCO, January Sth.-0n the night of
August Is, $780, Samuel l.. Jacobson, young
merchant. was shot while entering his resi-.
dence, on Webster street, near California. Ja-
cobson died shortly after, but before his death
said he had been shot by two footpads whom
he described as being short and tall men. The
affair created a great sensation here and, ow-
ing to many mysterious features, Jacobson's
story was not generally believed. II wes
thought by many that he had committed sui
eide or had been shOt by woman.
Ever since Jackson's death complaints have
been made to the police of numerous highway
robberies committed in all parts of San Fran
cisco by two men, one short and the other tall.
A few days ago the police arrested on suspicion
a man named Sidney Bell, who says he comes
from Fresno. Bell made partial confession
of robberies duplicating Edward C. Campbell.
The latter was also arrested, and to day made
startling confessions.
He says that on the night of August 18th
Bell and himself started out with the intention
of holcing up some one. Bell was armed with
32-caliber pistol and Campbell carried po.
licemans club. They saw a man get off the
car at the corner of California and Webster
streets Bell stopped him and told him to
throw up his hands. The man grappled with
Bell, and the latter fired the pistol. Bell and
Campbell then ran away, Bell boasting how he
had shot to kill.
Bell admits numerous robberies, but denies
that he shot Jacobson. The robbers were for.
merry employed as sewing machine agents.
