RATE WAR MORE BITTER
The Southern Pacific Company Takes
Freight to Vallejo Free Of
Charge.


The Southern Pacific Company made the
announcement yesterday that all freight
for Mare Island and Benicia would be car
ried free. This will give the steamer Her
aid plenty to do.
As the company has contract with the
United States by which all freight bills for
goods carried in the shape of naval and
army stores shall be charged up against
the debt owing by the Central Pacific to
the Government, the road can laugh at all
freight opposition and defy competition.
The steamers Columbia and Umatilla
got in from Portland and Puget Sound
yesterday. Both were crowded with pas
sengers at the cut rates.
There was hitch in the passengers get
ting uptown comfortab bly,, as the hotel run
ners and hackmen were on strike. They
asserted that the Pacific Coast Steamship
Company was setting trap for them and
they declined to fall into it.
While the Southern Pacific was fighting
its battles the Pacific Transfer Company
and the Morton Special Delivery were
having another war. The question was
"could anybody gain free access to a leased
wharf?" Goodall, Perkins & Co. said
Yes" and Morton said No" The latter
had the hackmen and runners with him,
ana Wnen the COlumDla ana Umatllla
locked there was not hotel man to meet
them.
At the Oceanic dock there was trou BILE
when the Australia arrived. There the
hackmen and runners gathered in force.
They held a meeting previously and de-
cided to act with determination. Un-
fortunately one of their number had more
whisky than determination aboard and he
got into trouble. Matthew Whalen, one
of their number, was locked up in the
Har Dor Police station and charges of ''vul-
gar language" drunk" and violating
the hack ordinance" were placed against
him. His companions gave bail and he
was released by Captain Dunleavy.

DYING IN Los ANGELES JAIL

Nearer to Death Than to

Has Settled His Earthly Alphabetically

Judge.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Nov. 27.-Clifton
f. Mayne, whose trial for criminal of
lenses against his wards has attracted
wide attention, may never serve the SEN
tence OF twenty-five years imposed upon
him, as he is slowly dying at the County
Jail from hemorrhages of the lungs.
Since his incarceration he has had several
attacks, each one being more serious than
the one preceding it. Yesterday he had
one that completely exhausted him, and
this afternoon he had another which left
him in a state of complete collapse.
He realizes his condition, has straight
ened out his affairs as fully as possible
under existing conditions, and his death
may be looked for at any hour. a physi
clan is in attendance and expresses nc
hope for Maynes recovery.

cused of disobeying. is in command for ad-
ministratiye purposes only; that Major
John A. Black or Captain Trayer were the
proper ones to command, and that the
court erred in infiicting a jail sentence,
since this is absolutely prohibited in times
of peace by the Military Code.
The Governor admits that insubordina-
ton occurred and that the accused escape
punishment only through error and tech
nicalities. This is what has caused a SEN
sation. since after saying that the court
martial was illegally convened, he admits
that there was good cause for action.
The officers are accusing the Governor OF
nepotism and inconsistency, and it is
rumored that Colonel Martin will resign.

Some of the low-priced bowls of green
found IN the japanese stores are just the
thing to make an effective growing place
for Chinese lily bulbs, as you will notice
when the darker green leaves and the
white blossoms rise out of their bed of
water and pebbles. If the jars are OF odd
shape so much more pleasing will the re-
suit be. Blue japanese bowls, or a bowl
of Benares brass, with glass inside, also
