still another small city the monopoly piled its bust
ness under the disguise of the Shoemaker Oil Com
pany which lasted after all its rivals had been sub
dued
The company singuarly fertile in its discrlm-
nations, adapted to each locality where its exclusive
right to sell oil was asserted When the plan was
safe it boldly furnished oil to different persons in the
same nelghborhood at the most flexible rates. One
man could purchase at cents per gallon, while his
next-door neghbor had to pay OF cents. Where it
was considered inexpedient to parade favortsm to
friends and hostility toward enemies neutras
uniform price was charged and dfferential rebates
allowed. In the town of Newark twenty five differ
ent figures applied to twenty-five classhcations Of
customers used
But the greatest success of the company was in its
imitation of the tricks of the prestidgitateurs. One
eccentric character at Newark would buy oil that
did not come from Cleveland. The word "Cleve-
land painted a red cask and he was accom-
modated This reminds of the story of we'll
known gentleman in Oregon who received large
sum for a Durham cow and when twitted with the
fact that the COW of very common blood, nno-
Gently replied that he had supposed her to be Dur
ham COW because he had bought her from a
named Durham
In many of the Standard Oil stores in Ohio Mr..
Clark said that the process of supplying different
qualities of oil simplicity itself. Eight grades
sold out of two tanks, and to change the grade
was only necessary 70 turn the faucet IN contrary
directions. The miracle of the urers who pour
out wines OF different colors and qualities from the
same bottle reproduced of the features OF
the extensive trade that has made the philanthropy
OF Mr. Rockefeller apparently inexhaustibe as his
income and his capital
The narrative of Mr. Clark which includes various
facetious authorizations of standard article strikes
the average Californian familiar in principle
though in some of its facts The railroad dis
ordinations, which converted each station into
custom house, where duties aternated between
enue, protective and prohibtory tariffs, have been
understood and appreciated in this State for many
years The secondhand and sleepers that have
illustrated the economical administration OF rail
road business made possible by the absence the
destruction OF competition, have induced frequent
contrasts between the West and East The treat
ment OF passengers and of freighters has included
every form OF rudeness and urbanty, through which
the blessings and the OF soulless monopoly
could be distributed, without any distinction between
Mount Gerzim and Mount Eba

between Mr.. Rockefeller and Mr. Huntington, and

JUDICIAL CONFIRMATION.

N The Call OF Monday last the view was expressed
that the case OF Hunt VS.. Ward, decided by the
Supreme Court OF this State and much discussed
by the bar well as by the general public, could
be reconciled with the proposition that the consti-
tutona and statutory liability of stockholders for
their proportions OF bonds issued by street railway
companies would when the bonds matured
and not when they issued and, therefore, that
the outstanding bonds of the Market Street Railway
Company and of the six pre-exsting corporations
that formed parts of its consolidation had not been
Invested of their essential protection
In the case OF Johnson VS.. Bank of Lake just de-
cided by the Supreme Court this opinion receives
substantial. confirmation. That action was brought
enforce against the defendant itself corporation
its personal liability a stockholder in the Lakeport
Agricultural Association for its proportionate share
OF a fee earned by attorney. In supposed cor
respondence with the law declared in Hunt vs. Ward
It was insisted that the personal liability was complete
when the contract for services was made and that as
the action was commenced more than three years
after that date the defendant was protected by the
statute OF limitations The Supreme Court refuses to
recognize this practical annument of the State con-
stitution and OF a provision OF the Civil Code and
holds that there was no Indebtedness due from the
Lakeport Agricultural Association to its attorney un
til his services had been performed and that until
then the stockholders were not personally liable and
the statute OF limitations had not begun to run in their
favor. The opinion is written by Mr. Justice Hen
shaw and concurred in by Mr.. Justice Temple and
also by Mr.. Justice Mcfarland who wrote the
opinion in Hunt Ward In the course of full
but compact discussion of the record this language is
used "In each the time OF the creation OF the
liability is to be determined by the terms and con-
dons OF the contract itself" This proposition ap-
plies to street railway bonds when originally issued.
for by the and conditions of the contract" if
The interest is paid there principal Indebtedness
due until maturity.
The judgment OF the Superior Court which har-
nonized with the Interpretation that has been fire.
zuenty given to Hunt VS.. Ward was reversed This
ruling of the appellate tribunal is consistent with
other cases referred to by The Call to the effect that
the liability OF corporation and the personal abil-
ty OF its stockholders accrue simultaneously and is
reassurng to the holders OF the street railway bonds
that elected comments, who, if they had to de-
pend upon the mortgage securities, the value of
which is certainly decreasing and upon insufficient
sinking funds would be in very precarious situa-
ton 1t does not alter, however, in financial sense,
the legal aspects of the bonded Indebtedness guaran
teed and created by the Market Street Railway Com
pany.

WHERE IMPROVEMENTS ARE NEEDED.

y T the meeting of the Board OF Supervisors on
I \ Monday Supervisor Holland introduced a
resolution calling the attention OF the Mayor
ard the members OF the board to the numerous de
lays in the completion OF the contract for the con-
structon of the Hall OF Justice building, and also to
the alleged discrimination in street Improvements
that has been pracced against that portion OF the
city lying east OF Kearny street and north of Cali
fornia.
The subject is one which merits all the attention
and consideration it is likely to receive The delay
in the construction OF the Hall OF Justice is old
subject OF complaint In fact, it constitutes some
thing like public scandal, and it is to be regretted
there is way OF inficting penalty upon the
persons who have been and responsible for it.
That, however is but a minor factor in the general
problem OF providing improvement for that impor-
tant section OF the city.
There may have been some discrimination in favor
OF other districts in making public Improvements, but
even if so Supervisor Holland is justified in at
trbutng it to anything else than the apathy of prop
ery-owners in the district alleged have been neg
lected There is, OF course, continual struggle for
improvements OF all kinds, in which all sections
OF the city take part, but a rule the Improvements
made where the property owners are most ener-
getic in striving for them.
The trouble with the section of the city lying east
OF Kearny and north OF California that it is under
going a transformation. 1t once the center Of
business activity, and large proportion OF its build
ngs were constructed to suit the retail trade and the
office work OF what San Francisco twenty years
ago That sort OF patronage has deserted its old
quarters and sought the newer buildings and better
facilities that exist elsewhere. The old district re-
mains to Be fitted for the growing wholesale trade,
and when buildings we'll adapted for that purpose are
constructed there, and the streets put in good
diton for the heavy traffic OF wholesale business the
property will yield better profits than before
1t Is certainly right to expect the city do what
it to improve that we'll as other sections but it
is also right to expect the property-owners to do
something for themselves That district must be al
ways valuable The retail trade may shift with the
passing years from one location to another but the
wholesale trade is fixed to the water front by the
very conditions OF its business. 1t will OF course be
OF great benefit the whole city to have we'll built
up and well paved wholesale district, and there will
be cordial sympathy with any effort made to accom-
plish it,

OILING MONOPOLY WHEELS.

THE recent developments of the methods OF the
Standard Oil Company before the Industrial
Commission at Washington, D. c., are of pub
lie importance and interest. The testimony of W.
H. Clark, published in The Call Of the 9th inst, is
striking exhibition of the power and OF the facil-
ties of that particular monopoly Its success in
sitting competition and in adapting its product to
the diosyncrases OF its customers is unexampled and
almost incredible

II years of age, who had the dis
I \ tinction of being the mascot
of the Twentieth Infantry, re-
turned from Manila on the transport
st. Paul yesterday and is now at the
family residence, 2126 Bush street. He
was wounded in the left knee by an
insurgent bullet and confined in the
hospital for seventeen days.
He is a bright. manly little fellow
and tells his experiences with the army
AT the front with hearty outbursts of
laughter. His being wounded and the
fact that he was introduced to Ad-

occurrences. His story is best told
his own words:
