BEFoRF JUDGE STEER.
Railroad oHacials are Summoned fol
 Contexnpt.

Contempt.
 Macon, Ga, Dec. 2l..-In the case of the Interstate Commerce Commission against tho Louisville and, Nashville, Florida Cen tral and Peninsula and the Savannah, Florida and Western railroads, involving a rule for contempt against ofEicials of the Louisville and Nashville, the Sea board and the Atlantic Coast Line, Prcs- ident Smith. Superintendent Denham and Superintendent Hale, respectively, were present before Judge Speer in the United States Court today.
 The railroad men claimed that they were advised by counsel and believed that the decree did not require them to continue to operate through rates from Pensacola and Atlanta stations to Savannah and that they corld fully comply with the courts decree by withdrawing their through rates and arrangements, even though from some of the stations the to- tai rates charged by combining the locals of the separate roads might exceed the through rates which had been found by the court to be unlawful.
 Therefore, the railroads withdrew their through rates and they pointed out that as too much of the traf1c involved the sums of the locals were less than the through rates which had been condemned. They further stated, howeevr, that very recently it. had been ascertained that through inadvertence the local agents of the railroads had not been properly in- structed and had continued in many in- stances to charge rates equal to the through rate which had been condemned.
 It was further stated on behalf of the railroads that negotiations looking to es- tabiishing through rates in accordance with the decree had been in progress for some time before the contempt proceed irsEs were instituted and that such nego- tiations. were still pending.
 The Judge then. suggested that recess would be taken to see if the railroad offi- cials could complete these negotiations and after the recess 1t was announced that agreement had been reached and that through rates fin accordance with the de- cree would be made effective by Janu- ary 1.

DEPARTS FOR FRISCO

The Oceanic steamship Alameda
sailed for San Francisco this morning
few minutes after o'clock. The
steamships departure was noteworthy,
especially on account of the fact that
this Is the first time steamer has
left the Oceanic wharf since its recon.
stTuCtiOn.
The fact that the Oceanic wharf is
much more handy for the business cen.
ter Of the city than the HaCldeld
wharf, from which the Alameda has
had to depart during the repairs to the
Oceanic wharf, makes the change
greatly appreciated.
The new wharf is very much super.
ior TO the old structure and offers
many advantages both to the steam
ship people and waterfront officials as
well rs to the public in general.
A large number of people gathered
on the wharf as in the old days. Tbs
band was in attendance and played
the customary farewell airs.
