Carrigan Company occupied the chair,
and several other prominent houses were
represented by those present.
The principal business considered was
the standing of San Francisco with regard
to Utah trade. There was no discussion
on the proposition that two railways-the
Union Pacific and the Rio Grande West
ern, had Disseminated against this City in
favor OF st. Louis, Chicago, etc. Every
member OF the committee was satisfied
that decisive measures should be taken in
the matter and it was unanimously de-
cided to send Traffic Manager W. B. Curtis
TO Denver to attend a meeting in that city,
May "a, at which the subject will be take n
up. MI; Curtis will go as the representa-
tive OF the Traffic Association and armed
with documents to prove the claim that
the two Western railways are not acting
fairly toward San Francisco.
Curtis VIII hold that the basis of rates
on which the Southern Pacific aims to do
business in Utah is just. That company
is not asking too much, but only what is
Just and equitable when demanding a rate
based on the mileage between ali points of
shipment. whether San Francisco, Chicago
or Mississippi River cities, to common
points in Utah. The Traffic Association
will hold that the Western roads should
agree on basis that would permit the
central Paclnc to go into Utah common
points with California shipments.
'We feel confident" remarked Mr.. Cur
tbs, that if these two lines should lose on
westbouud business they would lose far
and away more than what they make in
this unfair discrimination against u.s."
DO you mean by that that threat is
implied?''
1'Oh, no; we don't want to threaten"
The traffic manager appeared reserved,
h uriP toI tloK, l. .o,.s
1t is not at all probable that if the Union
Pacific and Rio Grande Western refuse to
come TO terms regarding Utah business
they will be boycotted bv many of the
largest shippers in San Francisco in the
matter of shipments from the East.

Mrs. Mary Crowley Almost
Choked Into Insensibility

Neil Under Arrest.

Mrs. Mary Crowley, who lives at s12

Frank Neil, a young man "a years of age,

early hour yesterday morning.
Mrs. Crowley had been visiting her sis
ter-in-law. and on her way home went into
the grocery on the corner OF Eighth and
Clementina streets about o'clock yester-
day morning and had a glass of beer. She
met Neil there and he said he would see
her home. They left the grocery about
2 o'clock, and when they reached Carlo
mine street, a small alley running off Fol-
som street, between Ninth and Tenth
Neil snatched her purse out of her pocket
grabbed her by the throat with both hands
and forced her to the ground. She
screamed with pain and fear and her
screams were heard by Special Officer
Seguine, who was not far away, and he ar
rested Neil.
On being searched at the police station
Mrs. Crowley's purse, which contained
So 70, was found in his pocket and he was
booked on the charge of robbery. Mrs.
Crowley was taken to the Receiving Hos
pital She was suffering intensely from
the pain in her throat and was expec-
torating blood. Her lips were swollen and
she said Neil struck her on the mouth
while she was on the ground. DR.. Rhine
attended to her injuries and yesterday she
was able to leave the hospital. The marks
of Neil's fingers were plainly visible on
her throat. She went before Judge
Joachimsen aud swore to a complaint
