ALAMEDA, July 3.-The Southern Pa
cifc Company is playing bold DUN TO
prevent the Government from carrying
out It's plans of constructing combined
railroad and wagon bridge over the tuai
canal where the companys tracks Will
cross it when completed. The railroad
people have stood out for separate
bridges, claiming that it would work
great hardship if they were forced TO
Move their tracks to the site OF the pro-
posed combination bridge, and beslueS
that it would be dangerous TO allow
horses and railroad trains 10 traVel over
the same structure.
When this argument was being used tne
railroad had but one track crossing the
canal. Now it has two widely separated,
and it proposes to force the cove IliuSii ttS Si
TO build bridges for both or leave the tldal
canal in its present unfinished condluon.

DIVIDENDS MAY
SOON Be PAID
ON WATER STOCK
New Schedule Will Be
Profitable.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
90S broadway. July J.

90S Broadway, July }.
The new schedule of water rates went
into effect yesterday, and it is now an
nounced that the Contra Costa will soon
commence paying dividends. This state
ment is causing much surprise, as the
new schedule is commonly supposed to
be in the main lower than that of last
year. The rates paid until July l are
those of the Solid Six" who were re-
tired from public office last April, and are
so high that the companies waited six
months for popular Indignation to de-
crease before they put them in force. In
four years no dividends have been paid,
and the value of the stock went down till
it was sold for 80. When full rates were
charged the price went up to 10, and to-
day It is quoted at 7214.
If the new schedule is lower than the
old one the prospect for dividends would
not seem to be very great, as none were
paid under the old rates. The capitalza-
lion Of the corporation has been IN
creased $3, 900 900 by the consolidation of
the Oakland Company, and although the
cost of one office and board of manage
ment has been dispensed with this will
not according to the sworn reports on
file. pay interest on the added millions and
on half OF the bonds and then leave sut-
ficient for dividends.
The remarkable fluctuations of this
stock during the past two years are
shown in the following table:

TWEEDIE DEFEATED
BY RUFF TURNER
Referee Fox of the Opinion That the
Australian Worked in
Fake


STOCKTON, July 3.-Rufe Turner, the
colored Stockton boy, who is seeking hon.
ors in the lightweight class, knocked
Cocker Tweedie of Australia cold in the
eighth round of what was to have been
twenty-round fight. 1t was a hard fight
from the very start, with Tweedie out
pointing the colored boy in boxing in
every round so that there is no doubt
that the decision would have been his
had both stayed the limit. The knockout
blow was on the back of the left juwbone
and almost under the ear, and was the
fourth swing which Turner had made at
Tweedie's Jaw, three of them being sue
cessfully blocked.
Tweedie turned half around and fell
with the glove still at the point of his
chin. showing that he had not placed it
back far enough by about five inches to
catch and block the force of the blow.
The referee, James Fox of the Reliance
Club of Oakland, counted Tweedie out and
declared Turner the winner.
Later in conversation with Instructor
Eckert of the Stockton Athletic Club, he
declared that he thought Tweedie faxed
the fall and the fight on his own part.
For a time he believed he had the right
noised about. but as he had left the ring
when he made the second part of his de-
cision bets stand. Fox declared that Tur-
ner was not party to the fake, but that
Tweedie and his friends were.
Many at the ringside agree with Fox
that there was no necessity for Tweedfe
going out while others as strongly of
the opinion that the Knockout was clean
and legitimate. The preliminary between
Frank Crowley of Marysville and AL
Doyle of San Francisco was decided 4
