10th TO LOSE CONTROL,
Union Pacific Officials Yet
Fighting for Branch
Lines.
They Would Be Perfectly Willing to
Have an Associate Re-
ownership.

SALT LAKE, UTAH, June 8.-The
Oregon Short Line and Utah Northern
receivership case has been argued down to
point where about the only difference
between the contending parties seems now
to be whether there shall be one or two
receivers appointed. The Union Pacific
still insists on an associate receiver, while
the loan company maintains that such
appointment would defeat the whole pur-
pose of the separate receivership because
of the brief time which would be given to
raise the money to be paid, until July l.
Mr.. Storey in continuing his argument
this morning insisted that the American
Loan and Trust Company's only purpose
in the litigation was to put man in
charge of the Short Line who would guard
its interests in relation to other roads and
not be on both sides of the same question.
The company had only until July in
which to raise over 81, 100000 to meet de-
faulting interest. on the first mortgages.
The purpose of the other side was to secure
notifications of the order so the loan
company would have to go back to Judges
Gilbert and Sanborn and cause delay, so
there would be no time before July to
dition of the Oregon Railway and Naviga-
ton Company, which had shown in six
months loss of $780, 900, and under new
receiver had within five months paid the
interest and cleared the Indebtedness. His
success was because he was in close con-
tact with the patrons of the line.
AS to the appointment of Mr.. Egan, he
was man against whom the Union Paci-
fic could find no fault. and yet they ask
for an associate receiver. To appoint an
associate receiver would be separation
in name and not in fact, and would be ex-
tremely unfair. If this court should find
Mr.. Egan unsuitable it'could remove him
or associate another with him. 1--WE ask
you take him on trial and we will abide by
the result" he concluded.
AT this point the hearing closed. A de-
cision in the case is expected on Monday.

STOPPING STATE DUTIES,
Mexico to Copy Many of the
Laws of the United
States.
President Diaz'S Recommendation
Are Being Carried Out in the
Congress.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 7.-Ad-
vices from Mexico state that the Mexican
Congress, following the suggestion of Pres
1dent Diaz in his annual message, has been
considering important changes in the Fed
eral Constitution, with a view to making it
somewhat similar to that of the United
States in the limitation of the rights of the
separate States to coin money, or to hinder
commerce by tariff laws which discrimi-
nate against goods brought from adjoining
States in Mexico.
Heretofore the Federal Government has
not had the exclusive right to collect tariff
taxes or internal revenues. AS a result
both the Federal Government and the
States have their separate laws on the
same subject. Jealousies between States
have led some of them to enact tariff laws
discriminating against neigh boring States.
President Diaz spoke strongly for a
reform and COM rehensiye revisions of the
constitutions have been presented accord
ingly. The frat articles of the constitution
are changed so as to include prohibition
against the coinage of money or the issu-
ance OF paper bills or stamps by the States.
Tariff determinations between the States
are prohibited by several strong provisions.
Article 124 of the constitution is changed
so as to give the Federal Government the
exclusive right to hinder or prohibit the
transportation of goods, foreign or domes-
tic, brought into Mexico or into State.
BY supplemental section the law is made
to take effect one year from July next.
Whether the law embodying changes has
passed its final stages is not clear from the
information received here, although the
legislation appears to be complete.

WANTS LEAVE TO SUE
For Shortages Alleged to Have
Been Discovered In Some
Transactions.
THE ILLEGAL MANIPULATrONs.
Interesting Disclosures Expected If
the Investigation Is
Granted.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, June S.-Bravton
Ives will shortly come into court and ask
for hearing on motion to instruct the
receivers of the Northern Pacific road To
sue Henry Willard for shortages alleged to
have been discovered in the Northern Pa
cific and Manitoba transactions. both by
Master Carey and by the controller of the
company.
The motion, if granted, will bring I'D
the former petition of Ives, in which he
asks that the receivers be instructed to
BRING suit, not only against Willard but
Messrs. Colby and Hoyt, for alleged irregu-
larltles and illegal manipulations in the
transactions of the Cook City and Rocky
Fork and the Northern Pacific and Mani
toba branches and the Chicago terminals.
The petition, though filed last October, has
never been passed upon by the court.
1t IS the intention, it is stated, to secure
an investigation somewhat similar to that
OF Receiver Cakes, and Willard will ba
given an opportunity to defend himself.
Inns, 1t is understood, would be favorable
to the receivers. The investigation is de-
sired by the company, as it is liable to Lead
to disclosures of things not now understood
by others than Mr.. Willard.
Failing in the attempt to secure an in
Vestigatlon Brayton Ives will urge that tha
receivers bring suit against Willard at once.
Ii the suit is brought there is a proba-
blllty that it may include all of the counts
with which Master Carey charges Willard
In his report. The petitions are now under
consideration by Colonel Silas Petit, Iyesf
attorney, who will present the argument
to the courts and appear for the COMPANY
in subsequent processes.

right of way over Hazleton avenue from
Hunter street east to the city limits, and
west from the latter street to Commerce
street, along the bank of Mormon Channel
to Monroe street, and along Monroe street
to Weber avenue, with the necessary land
for curve at the corner of Monroe street
and the avenue; and the right of way on
Weber avenue westerly to the property of
the Farmers Union and Milling Company.
Besides this they want what cuts a
greater figure than anything else-the un-
occupied property of the Farmers Union,
extending 700 feet along the.south side of
Stockton Channel and running back to
Weber avenue. They also ask for right
of way across block D.
AS an alternate proposition the repre-
sentatives of the Corral Hollow Railway
asked for the right of way to Mormon
Channel as in the route Just outlined; down
Mormon Channel to Harrison street; along
Harrison street to Weber avenue, with a
on the street and across block 8; thence
along Weber avenue to the Farmers Union
property. The 700 feet of valuable water
frontage asked for in the original PROPOSE
ton IS also requested in the alternate one.
The committee gave the projectors of
the road no definite answer, but agreed to
lay their proposals before special meet
ing of the Stockton Commercial Associa-
ton.
The consideration of the requests of the
Corral Hollow people is regarded as of
great importance to this city. Nearly
every one favors securing the road, if pos
sible, but the raising of enough money to
obtain the property wanted is not an easy
task, as Stockton has given so literally to
the Valley railway. The land on the water
front will be costly, and it is probable that
the committee will endeavor to persuade
the railway people to alter their plans so as
make use of Senator Boggs' land on Nor
mon Channel, as he is disposed to deal
very literally with them and with the city.
But though the task of raising money to
secure the road will be hard one the peo-
pie of Stockton want the line and will
probably get it. The Commercial Associa-
ton held special meeting tonight for the
purpose of discussing the project. The
cost of the waterfront property alone will
not be less than $4,000.

HQ7. ResoL,Ikio,as

BOSTON, MASS, June S.-The Woman's
Rescue League has adopted resolutions of
timely interest to the effect that the BIZ
cycle woman and the coming ''mannish
woman" are productive of "much harm
and no real good to the industrial and
sef-supporting woman, who creates so per
cent OF the wealth in all the light manu-
featuring industries in this country. These
women are entitled to political recognition
by our Lawmakers, because they help
create the wealth of the nation, while the
sporting woman the tmannish woman
and the bicycle woman bring disgrace Cd
the true woman.
An appeal is made to the prominent
clergy of the United States for the SUD-
preston Of bicycle riding by young girls
because OF the tendency to encourage i'm
morality. The league further condemns
the coming "mannish'' woman as a crea-
ture entirely useless and an unnecessary
evil in this country, which should not be
encouraged.

NEW YORK, N. y, June s.--The Rev.
John Hall has contributed the $1,000 that
his income tax might have been to the fund

wealth have thought of giving an amount
equal to that saved by the death of the

The Rev. DR.. Langford. secretary of the
foreign and home missions of the Episco-

1--WE received recently letter from an
anonymous contributor inclosing sum of
money. The donor stated that the money
was to have been used to pay his income
tax, but since the law had been declared
unconstitutional he felt like giving the
money to charity. Still more recently we
received a check of $1,000 from lady in
this city who is noted for her charity. She
said that now since the income tax had be-

an Important RtIing Relating to Mail

WASHINGTON, D. c., June S.-The
Postoffice Department to-day issued the
following order:
Two lines of steamships convey mails from
the United States to Japan and China, sailing
from San Francisco twice and occasionally
three times per month. Another line CONVEYS
mails to the same countries, leaving Tacoma
once and sometimes twice per month.
Inasmuch as 1t is impracticable for most
postmasters throughout the country to keep
accurately advised of dates of sailing of steam
ships from different ports, they should there
fore continue to make up registered pieces for
China and Japan in registered package enye-
lopes addressed to the postmaster at San Fran
cisco, excepting, however, from this rule all
registered pieces addressed by senders to go via
steamships of the Tacoma line, or addressed
s'via Tacoma, WASH" All such specially adj
dressed registered articles from any postoffice
in the United States should be billed and made
up in registered package envelopes, addressed
to the Postmaster at Tacoma.
Special instructions will be given to
postmasters at several of the large cities to
carefully calculate the time required for
train dispatches between their respective
offices and Tacoma, having reference to

night in front of Anderson's restaurant by
a negro named Jackson. Three shots were

are not serious, but Obi is in a bad condi-

blocking the sidewalk and the students
attempting to pass. The negro has bad
