NEW BILL BY THE ROAD,
Southern Pacific Perfects It's
Pleadings for To-mor-
rows Battle.
IT IS A MODEL DOCUMENT.
Acknowledgement Fitzgerald to Move
to Strike Out All the Com.
pany's Affdavits.

So as to be in readiness for the legal
battle OF tomorrow the perfected plead
ings of the Southern Pacific in its injunc-
ton suit against the State Railroad Com
mission were fled in the United States
Circuit Court yesterday.
1t was learned from J. E. Foulds, one of
the attorneys of the railroad company,
that there is nothing in the amended bill
of complaint that is particularly new,
other than its completeness.
1t simply embodies in one document,
explained Mr.. Foulds, the original bill
and the subsequent amendments; and
some slight changes have been made in
the railroads fgures-changes that do not
constitute difference OF over $40, 900 all
told.
Attorney General Fitzgerald and his
associate counsel had a consultation over
the new bill yesterday afternoon, but Mr..
FITZGERALD stated late in the day that he
had not at that time given the document
sufficient study to be able to discuss it.
On Monday the particular battle to be
fought by the Southern Pacific, the Rail-
road Commission and the Federal Govern
ment is to be on the order to show cause
and motion to strike out the railroad
company's afhdavits. 1t will take place
before Judge McKenna.
The new bill is model in the wav nj
court pleadings. 1t contains a statement
of the mileage of the Pacific system; the
earnings and expenses of each companv
with the financial status of each, and the
old allegations that the proposed reduction
OF rates would require the lines in Califor-
MIA to carry freight for less than cost. and
that the rates in this State are lower than
In the other States and Territories throngh
which the Southern Pacific system rms
The resolution OF the Democratic State
convention pledging the nominees for
Railroad Commissioners to a q ner cent
cut IS also given. Appended to the bill is
section " OF article XII of the State con-
stitutlon providing for the establishment
OF the Railroad Commission: the act of
the Legislature approved April Is 1880
organizing 1t and defining its powers. and
the Kentucky acts under which the South
ern Pacific was Incorporated. The resolu-
tons OF the Railroad Commission ordering
Ihe eauctlon OF rates are included in the
body of the bill.
The particular points of the bill of in
terest to the general public are: first, that
nao tne reduction of rates now being
Iougnt been In force during the year 1894,
the southern Paclhc's revenue from all the
ilnes OF the Pacific system would have been
$l,19,0O0 less, and a total deficiency of
SZ,ool, ZoZ ~ would have resulted; second,
shat nad the proposed reduction been in
force for the first six months of 1895, there
would have resulted a diminution of
revenue amounting to $S45, 223 %, and a
total deficiency of 1921 1893 81.
FOR these two years the figures given
are: Year 1S94-receipts. $31 ASS, 500 81:
expenditures. $31, 734, 1856 "a; deficiency,
SZ7o.262 70. First six months of 1S95-re-
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1896-01-05

eeIpts, $l4, S36, 125 IS; expenditures, $751;
3r2 1902 16; deficiency, 81, 476, 176 80.
1t is evidently the peculiar financial
status of the Southern Pacific's system
that brings about this financial phenom-
enon, Tor its gross earnings from opera
lions alone Tor 1894 were $31 ,267, 779 IS, and
It's net operating expenses were $40, e81,-
9O5 80; and for the first six months of 1895
the gross earnings from operations we're
$14, 727,319 50 and the net operating ex-
penses $40, 738, $50 50. The difference IS al
most accounted for by the payment OF S.
100000 81 interest in 1894 on its bonds, and
81, 209, 804 AZ interest in the first half of
1895.
As to the company's payroll, the docu-
ment states that for the year ending June
~, 1873, Its seventy-one general officers, at
a daily average of SIG %, received a yearly
compensation amounting in the aggregate
to 1851, 079 04, and its IL, 064 employees at a
daily average of 50 81 got total for the
year of $11 ,972, 667 70.
As compared with the budget OF figures
given for the entire Pacific system, it
would appear that the lines in California
were the only paying ones in 1894. though
different tale is told for the first half of
1895. For 1894 the total receipts from the
California roads were S21, col 1862 40. and
the total expenditures $40, 52S 52S 81, Ieav-
ing a surplus of $472, 1888 50. For the first
hall OF 1885, however the income was
S9,932,611 50, and outgo SIC, 796. 3O3 III leav-
ing deficiency of 1865, SOL %, according
to the tables presented to the court.
The Claim is made that the opposed re-
ductlon would have made difference of
S1,f!0,O0 to the company for 1894, and
produced a deficiency OF 81, 800, 1866 As in
stead OF a surplus of $472, 1873 So; while for
the hrSt SIX months of 1895, it is contended,
the difference would have been SS45, 223 %.
and the deficiency increased to 81 ,681, 914 81.
Inc prediction is ventured that for the
entire year of 1895 the total deficiency
would have been So, 1863, 800 IA.
During the day Attorney General Fitz-
gerald filed a notice of his intended motion
to strike from the files of the court all the
athdavits of the Southern Pacific that were
made In reply to those of Commissioner
La Rue and Stanton. The motion will be
MADE formally in court on Monday. Mr..
fitzgerald explanation of his move was:
The ground for the motion is that the
southern Pacifcs atfidavits are not proper.
Iney seem to anticipate any possible proofs
winch the defendant, the Railroad Commits
sion, might make in support of its answer TO
the Southern Pacitc's bill. They have evil
IDENTIFY been made to rebuff any new matter we
might present as against the plaintiffs in
In order until the proper time comes. The
proper method of procedure must be followed
in this as any other controversy in equity.
The entire batch of afidavits served by
the Southern Pacific on the Attorney
General on Christmas eve Is involved in
this motion.

University.
RESOLUTIONS ARE ADOPTED.
All Participants Agree That the Con.

a Success.
RESOLUTIONS ARE ADOPTED

Not until next year will the Cal
ifornia Teachers Association meet again
in annual session. The closing ses-
sions yesterday were more largely
attended than any of the preced-
ing meetings, many of Oakland's fore
most society leaders being present. The
commndIous auditorium of the First Con-
gregational Church was filled to repletion,
many persons being obliged to stand
throughout the interesting exercises.
The morning session opened with the
reading of an essay by T. d. Wood of Palo
Alto, who took for his subject, Hygiene
in Education" and displayed much
healthy indignation against that mis-
guided spirit OF false public economy
which would sacrifice the health and per-
haps even the lives of countless school
children rather than spend a small por-
ton of the public funds in rendering
schooIbuildings habitable from a sanitary
point of view.
Children" he continued, "are sent to
school too young. The hours OF school
are too long. Frequently the children are
sent home to do school work at night.
There is too little activity to the elemental
muscles. From one.third to fourth of
the time should be devoted to health ex-
cTClSeS. 0ynudSllCS SuOuIu De eOcOQr-
aged. The child should be examined
physically when entering school. The
teacher should understand the method of
growth of the child and understand its
organism. 1t is not an easy thing to
teach well. Hygienic education means
that a child shall be taught to take care of
itself. II does not mean that human ply
siology should be taught in the lower
grades. high ideal of manhood and
womanhood should be held out to the
youth of both sexes. 1t should not be for
gotten that any educational system which
practically ignores the health of the child
is radically defective"
Miss Carrie B. Palmer of the Oakland
High School read an interesting paper on
1.-The Physical Training of Girls" She
treated her subject in most thoughtful
and comprehensive manner, while the
earnest, convincing tone in which she
pleaded her cause showed plainly that she
was thoroughly imbued with the idea that
the wives and mothers of the future are
more or less neglected under the present
educational systems.
THE more advanced educators" said
Miss Palmer, care agreed in demanding

not make right, but that which is right must
fortify itself by becoming might.
An old parable OF life shows man in light
skif, in a tortuous channel, beset by rocks,
borne by falling current to an unknown sea.
He is kept awake by the needs of his situation.
He must keep his craft off the rocks. Contact
with them will mean disaster. If this were
not SO he would not heed. He has sensation
TO warn him, will to choose and freedom to
act, and so in measure his safety rests in his
own hands. He may choose his own course
which will not he easy; he may follow the
course of others and attain to some degree of
their safety. But mere impulse will not SUI
fee.
knowledge is worthy only as guide to ac-
ton, and knowledge being human can only be
approXimate-not reality. but movement
toward it; so we are brought to the oft-quoted
words of Leasing:
at is not the truth in mans possession that
makes the worth OF man. Possession makes
men selfish, lazy, proud. Not through posses
sion, but through long striving comes the over
growing strength. II God should hold in his
right hand all truth, and in his left hand
only the ceaseless struggle after truth, and
he should say to me Choose, l would fall in
humbleness before his left hand and say,
Father. give; the perfect truth is but for thee
alone.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Jordan's address
Mr., Barnes, the retiring president, surren-
dered the gavel to his successor, Mr. Lins-
2Sth of December next at San Jose.
During the afternoon the High School
Teachers Club of Alameda County held
brief meeting in room % of the High
School building. Papers on the correla-
ton of grammar and high school work by
Mrs. |. E. Du Bots of Oakland and H. ].
Shute of Haywards and addresses by Ell
mer E. Brown, president of the club, and
by the Rev. J. K. Mclean of Oakland were
enjoyed by all present, after which the
mem bers went to hear Mr.. Jordan's lee
ture.
The convention is over. All who at
tended pronounced it an unqualified sue
cess. Mr.. Barnes, when asked for his
opinion regarding the annual meeting,
said:

cational life of the State of which Californi-
ans in general, and Oaklanders in partic-
ular, may well be proud"
