Freight of All Kinds to Move
Under the New Schedules
Beginning To-Day.
sMURR WILL MEET THE CUT.
Charges Will Be From 0ne.Quarter
to Three.E ghths Lower Than
Ever Before.

Without firing of cannon, without
blazoning of bands. without ostentation
of any kind, the Valley Road will to-day
perform the greatest service ever done for
the people of the lower San Joaquin Val
ley. 1t viii make them forever free from
the expressions and e1tortions of the
Southern Pacific Company, and thus strike
the shackles from enterprise and progress
and bid cordial welcome to development
and prosperity.
After an absence of four days Traffic
Manager John Moss of the San Francisco
and San Joaquin Valley Railway returned
to this city yesterday from a trip of in
spection along the new road as far south
as LIE Grand, and at once prepared to IS
sue the full freight tariff schedules to and
from all points between San Francisco and
LIE Grand. These will be completed to-
day, will be filed at once with the Railrosd
Commissisn and become Immediately
effective.
The tariffs have al been compiled on
the basis of the western classification,
which embraces ten classes. Three of the
most important schedules are herewith
given. They are those from Stockton,
from lie Grand and from Merced to all
points on the road as far as operated and
will serve as q reliable criterion OF all the
others:
The San Francisco call., 1896-08-08

These rates will remain in force until
superseded by later tariff. which will
take in additional points. and ace subject to
changes IN traffic arrangements with
water carriers between San Francisco and
Stockton. Under the present arrangement,
which is expected to continue until the
Valley Road enters San Francisco over its
own tracks and ferries, the water haul will
be performed by the California Navigation
and improvement Company with its large
and weIl-equipped feet. No single ship
ment will be taken for less than Is cents.
Rates to and from San Francisco are
based on those to and from Stockton ana
can be ascertained by adding to the Stock
ton rates cents per 100 pounds on first
class freight, cents on second class,
cents on third and fourth class, 8 cents on
fifth class and so cents per ton on classes
A, B. G, D and E.
A comprehensive idea of the general
reduction effected by the Valley Road rates
on the existing ones of the Southern Pa
cific is gained by making a comparison OF
the charges of the two railroads between
Stockton and Merced on the different
classes of freight Here is the table:

NO DRAWBACKS ALLOWED
Judge Morrow OverruIes the
Demurrer of Importer
Wheeler.
Imported Corks and Bottles Not Sub.
jsct to the Drawback Named
in the Mckinley Act.

Judge Morrow yesterday rendered de-
cision in favor of the Government in the
action brought by Robert s. Wheeler to
recover certain draw backs on imported
corks and bottles alleged to be due under
the Mckinley act.
''The matter under consideration" said
Judge Morrow, sis the suit to recover
$3.50 50 under section 25 of the revenue act
of October l. 1890, known as the Mckinley
act, claimed to be due plaintiff as draw
back on imported materials, namely corks
and bottles, on which duty had been paid.
which materials it was alleged had been
articles manufactured or produced in the
United States, to wit, in the manufacture
OF bottled beer, afterward exported to
foreign countries. The corks and bottles
on which the draw back was claimed did
not, however, enter into the manufacture,
strictly speaking, of the beer, but were
sim ply the coverings on packages for it. !"
The'Government demurred to the alle-
cations of the plaintiff on the grounds
that the act under which the drawback
was claimed specified that goods mnst be
exported within three years. and further
the drawback was only TO be allowed on
goods produced wholly or in part in the
United States, including such articles as
rice, hops and barley.
The Government contended that corks
and bottles were not produced in this
country, and consequently not subject to
the draw back as defined in the Mckinley
act of 1890. Judge Morrow yesterday sus-
tanned the position assumed by the Dis.
trict Attorney, which practically ends the
litigation
The San Francisco call., 1896-08-08

close connections with the boats OF the
California Navigation and Improvement
Company at Stockton. All freight will be
handled at Stockton through the sheds ol
the roads water ally, pending the compile
ton of the commodious shed OF the rail-
road com pany at that point
Glass rates have been placed so low in
these schedules that it Is expected that
few, if any, special or so-called commodity
rates will be found necessary
As soon as the traffic officials OF the South
ern Pacific Company are notified of the
rates put in by the rival or their com pany
they declarethey viii meet them. They
state further that no attempt Will be made
to cut under the tariff of the new road
This means that every shipper, not only
within the area tributary to the Valley
road. but also those within the territory
tributary to the lines of the Southern Pa
cifc Comp pany, with which the Valley road
is in competition, will reap the benefit OF
the low rates.
Aside from the direct advantage to the
people who are located within this IA
vored area there is deep significance to
the prospective reductions OF the Southern
Pacific Company In this sectlon-one OF its
richest and most lucrative neids. Here il
is about to make sweeping reductions, on
every class of freight, which will range
from 25 TO 271S per cent, when its officials,
under oath in the United States Circuit
Court. testified that reduction of 8 pei
cent on grain rates alone would mean loss
to the company and practical confisca-
ton OF It's property.

Shippers in the territory tributary to
he portion of the Valley road thus
opened for general freight business will
by reason of the new rates enjoy reduc-
tions ranging from 25 to 371z per cent on
the existing rates OF the Southern Pacific
Company.
All articles embraced in the six classes
for which only carload rates are quoted
will take fourth-class rates when shipped
in less than carload lots.
The differentials adopted by the Valley
road between San Francisco and Stockton
are those in effect on the Southern Pacific
lines, and are considerably less than the
regular rates charged by the steamers be-
tween San Francisco and Stockton.
All freight business originating in this
City will be in charge OF G. D. Clark of the
California Navigation and. Improvement
Company, whose Office is at the foot of
Jackson street.
There are now some stations at which
the Valley road has no agents, and in con-
sequence freights will have to be prepaid
to and from those points, but % business
at these points grow they will be supplied
with agents.

the road was taken for the purpose of ar
ranging all the details necessary to the

and his wife against P. F. Kennedy & Co.
in Justice CAROLS court yesterday, were
treated to most novel experience in be-
ing driven out of the court TO give the
principal witness for the plaintiffs-Mrs.
King herself-a chance TO change her
dress, which she did in the courtroom.
The legal trouble between the houses of
King and Kennedy arose over dress-pat-
tern which the complainant in the case
says was worth $14. Mrs. King, according
to the testimony. took the goods to Ken
nedy & Co. to be made up into costume.
She claims that when the dress was re-
turned to her as finished. she found that
it did not fit. and that by reason of having
been cut the goods were ruined She de-
nanded new goods or the value, but
neither was obtainable and suit was begun.
The attorneys did not appear to be able
to definitely settle whether the work was
well done or not. Some witnesses said
the gown fitted, others that it did not, and
a cloud of uncert ainty hung over this i'm
portant point until Mrs. King agreed to
