Sheriff McDade since lie assumed control

that great advantages are taken by bidders,

ornaments only brought S291, although
their real value is supposed to be $1,000. All
the type and paraphernalla necessary for

bids to be ridiculously low.

MRS. VAN ALsTINE'S TRIAL.
The Assailant OF Mrs. Con Mooney
Will Probably Plead Insanity.

The trial of Mrs. Anna Van Alstine for
assault to murder Mrs. Con Mooney was
commenced yesterday in Department u of
the Superior Court. Judge Angellotti of
Marin County taking the place of Judge
Daingerfield
Last November Mrs. Van Alstine while
talking to Mrs. Mooney suddenly seized
pistol and fred three shots at her. none of
which, however, took effect. Jealousy is
said to have been the only provocation for
the deed, the defendant claiming that Mrs.
Mooney had endeavored to ALLEVIATE the af-
fectiOns of her husband.
Mrs. Clara Foltz appeared for the defend
ant, and the circumstances of the shooting
were testified to.
The pistol was introduced in evidence,
and as matter of course was handed to
the defendants attorney for examinations.
Take that hOrrid thing away - exclaimed
Mrs. toitz, in accents of terror. "lm afraid
to handle IL; it might go of"
Mrs. Lucy Mooney testified that at the
time of the shooting the defendant had
acted strangely. She asked Mrs. Mooney
to 90 and fetch her some towels. and Just as
she turned to comply with the request Mrs
Van Alstine fired three shots at her, The
bullets going over her head.
More testimony was introduced TO show
tile alleged alteration of mind of the defend
ant on the subject of Mr.. Moneys alleged
affection for Mr.. Van Alstne.

1t will be clearly seen that every "short-
haul" rate was to be increased, while New
York and Panama, on the long haul. re-
manned unchanged.
In addition to an advance of charges.
tickets to way ports were to read, as now.
From San Francisco to the anchorage at
-. This meant that passengers for
Central American ports, in addition to paw
ing for their tickets. must pay So ltghterage
sometimes SQ and 81 for wharfage. A
similar charge for embarking from Central
American and Mexican ports was arranged
for.
The matter of charging passenger from
San Jose de Guatemala $40 moro for a
cabin passage to San Francisco (2443 milps)
than Tor ticket from New York to San
Francisco. nearly five times the distance,
was proposed in this advance in rates.
Every town In Mexico and Central Amer
lea. from San Francisco to Panama, was to
suffer likewise.
In q Panama paper the Pacific Mail is
advertising round trip rates to the Worlds
Fair. which, it alleges, is practically half
fare"
The reduction really amounts TO but
about 20 per cent all through, and as the
tickets are all to be routed via San Fran
cisco the game is apparent. The Southern
Pacific Is simply attempting to feather its
nest with Central American coin by making
this statement through its catspaw, The Mail
company. that half-rate tickets will be
issued.
Here are some of the Central American

tickets. BY a comparison with the fore
going table, it will be seen that a yery small

When the steamer Saturn arrives then the
North American Navigation Company in
tends to do something toward establishing
regular passenger schedule between San
francisco and Central American ports.
No definite scale of rates has as yet been
made for the passenger trade. although the
company is TO some extent in this line OF
business
From advices received yesterday from
Panama and Central America, via Colon and
New York, it is learned that Central Ameri-
cans are particularly stirred up over the
passenger rate question and are anxiously
awaiting the news of whether any reduc-
tions are to be made.
The CALL some months ago published
statement showing the discrimination of
the Pacific Mail Steamship Company
against Central American ports, and called
attention 10 the abuse of rules governing
long and short hauls down south, which.
unfortunately, is not within the jurisdiction
of the interstate commerce law
Since the publication of THE CALLS
figures and prior to the organization of the
North American Navigation Company, the
Pacific Mail contemplated putting the mas
senger schedule back 10 its old standard of
two years ago, which was % per cent hie eher
than the present rates.
As soon as the Mail Company became
aware ef the intention of the new line to 90
into the passenger business it relineuished lis
idea OF an advance and let the present
schedule stand.
The public was astonished at the out
rageons discrimination against Central
American travellers at tbe-time of the pub
lication of the tariff mentioned.
In the face of this exposure the Pacific
Mail contemplated tacking on a % per cent
advance on all the 'short-hauI" noints aDd
letting New York prices stand. Following

was able to handle with ease the passenger
traffic thus far offered to it, During the
past few days the coaches had been run
ming well filed with Eastern tourists re-
turning to their homes after sojourning
for the winter in California
He thought that the advices from Chi
cago, showing that there was yet much to
be done before the fair was ready for visit
ors, coupled with the reports in regard to
extortion practced on strangers in Chicago,
had much TO do in dissuading people from
Undertaking the trip at this particular time.
