Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
90S Broadway, June r.
A quiet tip has been given out that the
next Labor Commissioner will be Wallace
Pond of Berkeley. who has for many
years been a Republican leader in Yolo
County.
Governor Gage is said to have arrived
at the conclusion that he cannot, without
fomenting strife, appoint a new Commits
sioner from the rank of the trades unions.
Some time ago the Governor invited the
trades unions of the State to submit to
him the names of five men who would
be acceptable to them implying thereby
that from these five he would select one.
Many names were submitted to him, ac-
companied by petitions and Endorsements.
and in many instances the Governor says
he has received counter petitions, till the
matter became so mixed that he could
not see his way clear to do anything with
the Endorsements of the unions which
regulate labor.
With this alleged excuse as a pretext,
the Governor, IT is said, has decided to
name some one for the place who has
been interested in politics. Wallace Pond

pended upon to keep up his end in every
campaign. Less than year ago he
moved to Berkeley, where he now con-

his friends working for him, and some of
them have enough assurance to justify
them in naming him a winner.
This decision of the Governor Is a
great disappointment to Oakland, which
city has been passed by by Governor
Gage with remarkable regularity, with
the exception Of the alleged gold brick
now in the possession Of Charles Spear.
This city has been interested in putting
forward the claims of A. ]. Read, presi-
dent of the State Typographical Union
and trustee of the Church of the Advent,
a brother trustee being James J. Valen-
tine. Mr.. Read has been Endorsed by
many trades unions and has received
some encouragement from those who are
pretty close TO the Governor. but 1t now

A GLORIOUS FOURTH.
California Soldiers May Return in
Time to Participate.

The executive committee of the Fourth
of July committee met last evening at the
Grand Hotel Two prizes for the most
handsomely decorated places of business
in this city were offered; the first will be
$50 and the second 500. The following
recommendations for expenditures were
reported by the finance committee and
accepted: Appropriation for parade, 1915;
music, s1140 regatta. $500; printing, 800;
invitations, $50; press $500.
Some discussion arose as to whether the
committee should appropriate money for
the purpose of decorating streets. The
matter was finally referred back to the
finance committee. The sum of $500 will
be expended for fireworks. There will be
several displays and the committee will
meet representative citizens tomorrow
afternoon to discuss the best locations
for displays. A short time ago a request
that the California Volunteers be per-
mitted to leave Manila on such date as
to arrive in San Francisco on or before
July was telegraphed to Washington.
Yesterday the following answer was re-
ceived:
Hon. Julius Kahn, San Francisco Your wish
that the California volunteers return so to

OAKLAND, June 12.-Admiral George

McKenna wrote he thought the language
OF the resolution was plain, and 1t had
presumably been prepared after due in

statements of the counsel for the com

The case ran along then until April of
1898, when the pleadings were settled and

Tected the Attorney General to move to

paying the costs of the other. Some days
after the Attorney General made the mo-

Judge Morrow that the defendant had no
right to move for a dismissal.
IN pursuance of this state of affairs, Mr..
Pillsbury commended. the railroad on MAY

ton of the Railroad Commission rescind-
ing the resolutions reducing the rates and
directing the Attorney General to dismiss
the suit. while each party paid IT'S own
costs. The motion of the company was
granted and the order dismissing the case
was entered, but there was nothing in it
State asked to be allowed it's costs.
That brought the case UP to the session
yesterday, and Mr.. Pillsbury proceeded to
draw his conclusions from It,
He argued that in winning on the orig

was entitled to its costs for that much
OF the suit When the answer of the
state had been put in the company had
made certain objections to it and they
had all been sustained, the company
therefore still being entitled to its costs.
1t was stated at the time that there was
no money in the appropriation for the
case to pay costs, and Mr.. Pillsbury said
the company paid them temporarily pend
ing the outcome of the case Then the
taking of testimony began. and after il
had proceeded as far as three thousand
pages the State moved to dismiss. each

In making this motion. Mr.. PiIlsburv
commended, the State waived all right to
have its costs paid by the railroad. The
company had won on the original iniunc-
ton, he said; 1t had won on the obiec-
lions to the answer and then, by rescind-
ing the resolution upon which the whole
case had been based. it left the company
nothing to try. The original resolution

HUNTERS START FOR
A NEW SEAL R0OKERY
NEXT ATTACK WILL BE MADE
AT POINT ARENA.
A Government officer Explains Why
He Protested Against the Thin
ming of the Big Herds.

For all that the Federal authorities at
Washington prohibited the killing of sea
liens on the Government reservations on
this coast the State Board Of Fish Com
missioners is determined to keep on with
this work in the interests of the fish in
dustries of the State While it would have
been more convenient to have carried on
the work of thinning the seal herds off
the entrance of the bay and along the
line of the southern run of salmon, still
there are other places where sea lions
abound In goodly numbers. One of these
places is the big rookery little south of
Point Arena, and to this place Deputy All
Wilson and w. H Greene, the experienced
seal hunter, went Yesterday. They are
equipped for a long stay and for the de-
struction Of many of the Objectionable sea
animals.
The Point Arena rookery is situated
upon a small island. or large rock cover
ing several acres, and in past years the
seal herds have made it breeding
ground. Years ago there was a sealing
station there and large numbers were
taken. The rookery was more freuuented
by the brown barking seal than any other
and these are the fellows that the Com
missioners are after. as they have proved
to be the more destructive of salmon and
fishermen's nets
The Commissioners have received long
letter from 7. S. Palmer, Acting Chief of
upon the subject of the protest sent by his
department to the Secretary of the Navy
and Lighthouse Board to the killing Of
sea lions on the Government reservations
near this port Incidentally he stated that
he believed that the estimate of 20 900 sea
liens within a distance of fifty miles of
this port and that they destroy from 20
to 40 per cent of the salmon entering the
bay Is rather high, and he says: ut is
only fair to state that at the time our
protest was made we had no official state
~ hn tT1T ion 81 hoo,
method of carrying out the work other
than has appeared N the press reports"
Judging from the tone of Mr.. Palmer s
letter he seems to think that the most of
the damage done to the salmon industry
is caused by the "harbor" seal and not by
the sea lion, and adds:
I'm conclusion permit me to say that
our protest was not inspired from mo-
tives of sentiment or from any desire to
oppose the action of your board. but it
seems that If a thorough investigation of
the food habits of the sea lions had not
been made this was the time to make it,
before undertaking a wholesale slaughter
of the animals

Judge Buckles Decision May Save
the City's Water Front.

ALAMEDA, June 12.-The recent de-

ton and fishing and to the detriment of
a community is looked upon as affecting
the title to a large area of tide land sur

built the narrow gauge mole. The tide
lands were sold at auction in 1871 by the

WHO SHALL
PAY ALL THE
COSTS OF SUIT?
Aftermath of the Grain
Rate Case.
BEFORE THE CIRCUIT COURT
A LEGAL QUESTION ON THE DIS
MISSAL OF THE SUIT.
The Railroad Contends That in Re
scinding the Original Resolu-
ton the Commission For
feited ALI Claim.
A LEGAL QUESTION ON THE DIS
MISSAL OF THE SUIT.

The question of costs for the grain rate
case tried in the Circuit Court came up
before Judge Morrow yesterday. The case
itself has been dismissed, but it left
legacy of litigation in the question of costs
and who should pay them. The last ac-
ton in the matter was taken by the State
in motion to so modify the decree of
dismissal that the State should have its
costs paid by the railroad, and it was this
motion which was under argument yes
terday.
E. S Pillsbury represented the railroad
and Attorney General Ford and Judge
Hayne appeared for the State, despite tie
fact that at the last meeting of the Rail-
road Commission 1t was decided to dis
pense with special counsel. Mr.. Ford
spoke first.
In his argument he contended that tho
railroad had voluntarily dismissed the
suit and therefore by rule of court it was
responsible for the costs. In courts of
equity he said, a dismissal of the bill Of
complaint is taken to be a judgment in
favor of the defendant. and unless there
are extraordinary reasons why the court
should exercise its discretion in favor of
the complainant the defendants are Of
right entitled to their costs
No such reason existed in the case at
bar Mr.. Ford contended. The railroad
had never rescinded the per cent re-
duction: it had rescinded the pre-
liminary resolution but 1t had never re-
scinded the schedule itself: in other
words, when the commission rescinded
the resolution it left the schedule of rates
still in force and that schedule had never
been dismissed. The railroad, he claimed,
had voluntarily dismissed the action.
abandoned the field and had left the Com
missioners masters of the situation with
the rate complained of still in full force
That being true, he argued, the rail
road company had in fact admitted that
its bill was without foundation and its
motion for a dismissal was IN fact a
the case, he reasoned, the company
should ray to the Railroad Commission
ers the costs they had incurred in the ac-
ton.
In answer Mr.. Pillsbury reviewed the
history of the case from the time of the
original resolution to the motion of the
State for costs. In September of 1895, he
said the commission passed a resolution
making a horizontal reduction of 25 per
cent on all rates other than grain rates
and a reduction of per cent on grain
road brought suit for an injunction re-
straining the commission from enforcing
the schedule so established. In Eovem-
Der of the next year the injunction was
granted and Mr.. Pillsbury read from the
decision of Judge McKenna in support of
some of the statements ne made about
the case presented by the State. He had
said that the commission admitted the
reduction of Is per cent could not be en-
forced. and the Commissioners would not
try to enforce it. On that point Judge
