SERIOUS ACCUSATIONS.

Mrs. Pettee and Mrs. Greenwood Claim
the Latter's Grandson Was Rail
roaded to Confinement.
The case of little George Edwin Morris,
son of George Morris, the Alameda County
grocer, seems in a fair way TO stir up
great deal of trouble, as it has already
reached the excitement stage. The story
of how the boy, who is only IL years of
age, ran away and came TO his grand
mother in this City on account of alleged
cruel treatment received at the hands of
his father has already been told.
Yesterday the grandmother, Mrs. 5. M.
Greenwood, who lives at 829 Francisco
street, came before the officials of the So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Children and asked their intervention in
behalf of the boy, who she said had been
taken to Alameda and railroaded to the
Boys and Girls Aid Society for three
months. She was accompanied by Mrs.
John Pettee, who also was very indignant.
Among the charges the boy and his
randmother make against the father is
that he forced the boy to eat mustard I'M
til his mouth was raw, stood him on his
head, beat him across the soies of his bare
feet, and otherwise maltreated him be-
cause he could not agree with his step
mother.
Mrs. Pettee asserts that the boys mouth
was in a fearful condition when he was
brought under her charge by the grand
mother. She also is very indignant at
the father, who she asserts threatened
her for the interest she took in the boy.
The San Francisco call., 1897-03-25

warning bell or whistle was sounded.
Ihey saw Siavich and his son trying 70
put speed in the horse and fail until the
engine struck and did the damage.
On the other hand, the trainmen swore
that the bell was ringing rs the train came
on, and that the latter was moving very
slowly. They insisted that the wagon
was standing still within six feet OF the
train when 1t came along and that the
horse backed into the baggage-car, causing
the damage.
Mr.. Richards in his argument emu
merated the points in the controversy
upon which there was no dispute; that
there had been an accident; that Slavich
had been greatly injured; that Slavich.
with his wagon, had an equal right with
the Southern Pacific train to the use OF
the street; that the time of the accident
was the afternoon OF bright and calm
summer day.
In support of his charge of negligence
on the part of the company he cited the
witnesses who declared there had been no
warning signal; he pointed to the condi-
tion of tie victim who bore the marks of
collision with q swift-moving engine.
He called attention to the fact that all
the witnesses who testified that the warn
ing bell was ringing and that the train
vas moving at the snail's pace that per-
mitted the wagon to back into it at almost
a standstill were men whose occupations
would be gone did they not so testify;
whose everv interest it was to so declare.
General Barnes. on the other hand, also
offered the plaintiff himself in evidence
that the train could not have been moving
fast, declaring that had it been he and
his wagon would both have been scattered
along the highway, a wrecked mass.
The engineer sounded the warning bell
at places of danger with the same auto
matte regularity with which he breathed.
"Of course the bell was ringing" he
said. "Why shouldn't it be?' He char
acterized the Gains of the plaintiff and
his counsel as absurd and unreasonable.
Both counsel offered points of law to be
incorporated in the courts charge, and at
half-past O'Clock the case was given to
the iury

preme Court of the United States, which
in substance declares that all associations
which have for their purpose the mainte-
nance of agreed rates and the division OF
traffic are illegal.
This is the Interpretation of the Su-
preme Court of the antitrust law passed
by Congress in 1890, so far as 1t applies to
railroads operated in more than one State.
Among the associations that are affected
by this decision, and of which the South
ern Pacific is a member, are the Transcon-
tinental Freight Rate Committee and the
Transcontinental Passenger Association.
1t is generally agreed among railroad
people and their legal advisers that the
result OF the decision will be to compel the
dissolution OF all such organizations.
What this, in turn, will mean no one is at
present prepared to say. The fact is ap-
preciated that the decision is very far
reaching, and that if its effect is not mcdi-
fed by some action of Congress looking to
an amendment OF the law it will have a
most disastrous effect on the railroad
properties OF the country.
In view of the widespread trepidation
and confusion that has been caused by it
the most salient features OF the decision
The San Francisco call., 1897-03-25

the subject of the Supreme Court decision
will undoubtedly receive a large share OF
attention.
In view of the disruptions and with
drawals that have taken place in the
East, it has been reported that rate war
OF great dimensions is in prospect. This
view Is not held, however, by one of the
principal traffic officials of the Southern
Pacific. While this gentleman agrees
with the opinions that the decision means
the dissolution of all interstate traffic ar
rangements between all transportation
companies, he believes that II general rate
war will not necessarily follow.
mo railroad manager who is RESPONSE
BILE for the revenues of his company"
said this official yesterday, will do any
thing to disturb the present situation, SO
lar as rates are concerned. Nothing
would be gained thereby except a loss OF
revenue and Il large wear and tear of men
tai energy. | think that all the COM
panies involved will await further devel-
opments regarding this question. There
has inst been decided similar case in
the New York Circuit Court Of Appeals.
In this the interstate commerce act was
involved, and the court held lust con-
trary to the Supreme Court. The case
will now go to the Supreme Court, and be-
fore the railroad people know what to ex-
pect and what TO do they will have to
aWdlt tue ueClSlOn OI the supreme court
in the pending case.
The decision as it now stands is revo-
lu,ionary III its character. 1t means tn at
no line doing an interstate business can
com bine with another line engaged SINH
larly in making through rate lower than
the com bined local rates of the companies.
This would effectually prevent rail COM
petition with the Panama line or with the
Canada Pacific, and would work great
hardship on all the transcontinental lines.
No line would be able to quote a through
rate, but would have to publish only its
own rate. putting the shipper to the
trouble of making separate arrangements
I with each connecting line between the
point of shipment and the destination.
Any company making a through rate
would lay itself open to charge of hav-
ing violated this particular act. It will
thus be seen that the enforcement of the
act will in reality work restraint of COM
merce.
Instead of precipitating a rate war /
believe IL will spur every manager who is
responsible for the revenues of his COM
pany 10 just an opposite course. think
rates will remain just as trey are until we
know definitely what to expect"

MUST Be TRIED AGAIN.
The Jury in the Slavich Dam.
age Case Fails to
Agree.
1t is Understood That They Stood 7
Against S in Favor of the
Plaintiff

The case of Andrew Slavich against the
Southern Pacific Railroad Company,
which began trial before Judge Bahrs on
Monday. went to the jury late last ven-
ing. About midnight the jury was called
in and, having announced that there was
no possibility of an agreement, was dis
charged. 1t was ascertained that the
jury stood for the plaintiff and for the
defendant.
In the three days trial the ground OF
com plant and the defense of the company
were gone over with great care by the
counsel in the case. John E. Richards for
the plaintiff and General Barnes for the
defendants, and in their respective argu-
ments before the jury the facts as drawn
from the witnesses-assumlng them to be
facts-were summed up and presented
from their respective points of view.
Slavich was very badly injured by being
run into by Southern Pacific train on
of the LIST OF July, 1895. He is cripple
unable to move about without the aid of
crutches and his physician declares he
will remain so for life.
He told the story on the witness-stand
| in this wise: He is fruit and vegetable
| peddler, and on the afternoon in question,
having disposed of his goods, he was
making MS way nome quite lelSurely, MS
little eleven-year-old boy driving and he
himself sitting in the body of the wagon.
As they crossed the tracks of the Southern
Pacific narrowgauge on Center street,
father and son noticed at the same time
the approach of an engine and train, COM
ing at lively pace. They attempted to
whip up the horse, but before they could
get out OF danger the engine was upon
them and struck the wagon and the man
who fell from it. The tire OF a wheel was
Knocked from the wagon, the horse ran
away. with the boy in the seat, yelling
with fright
The train was stopped and SIavich, half
unconscious, was picked up from under
the third car. He was in a terribly bat
tered condition. blood flowing from a
severe cash in the head, four of his ribs
were broken ana his shoulder and his hip
| dislocated. For months he was confined
to bed, and he is still and will always be a
| cripple.
The question of neglect or response
bility for the accident was that upon
| which the case hinged, of course. The
prosecution introduced q half dozen dis
interested witnesses who were in the i'm
mediate vicinity and who declared the
train was running from seven to fifteen
miles an hour when it came round the
curve in sight Of the wagon, and that no
