SOUTHEASTERN ROADS
ARE COMING INTO LINE
Long Pending Differences With the
Transcontinental Companies VIII
Soon Be Settled

1t was announced by the represent
atives Of the freight department of the
Southern Pacific Company yesterday
that the long pending differences be-
tween the transcontinental roads and
the Southeastern Traffic Association
are nearing a settlement and that in
the near future shippers from both
West and East will be furnished
printed tariff of rates between the
points within the territory of dispute
and this coast. The trouble with the
Southeastern railroads and the trans
continental lines grew out of the de-
mand of the former for a greater ap-
portionment of the through rate.
which was denied them. Then the
Southeastern roads refused to Coop
crate with the transcontinental lines
and for months the relations have
been such as to cause no end of'an-
noyance and uneasiness to shippers.
The fact that an agreement has final
ly been reached will be pleasing news
to the dried and canned fruit men of
California and the furniture manufac-
turers of the East. 1t was stated yes
terday that while there will be no ma
terial change in the new East and
West bound tariff sheets that are soon
to be issued supplemental tariff, Of
a reciprocal character, will follow,
covering all the territory of the South
east and the Southwest. The South
eastern territory will. under the agree
ment be divided into eight terminal
| groups, and while the rates under this
| tariff will not be as low as on the
regular transcontinental tariff, they
will be much lower than at present.
1t is also purposed to make them per-
manent, so that the shipper may care
fully reckon just how he stands in
matters of trade in the Southeastern
/ territory.

grand larceny. A. A. Martin, a spe-
cial officer for the telephone company.

ton Commissioners in the razing of
voting booths. Yesterday afternoon
he was to have removed a load of
lumber from demolished booths from

for Assault to Murder.
William McKown and William Clio
vannoni are boss teamsters and for some
time there has been a feeling Of jeal-
Gus rivalry between them. Yesterday
morning shortly before 9 o'clock they
met in front of McDonough & Runyon's s
commission house at 416 Davis street
and Giovannoni fired at shot at Nc
Kown, the bullet missing him. Clio
vannoni drove to Main street wharf,
where he was arrested on a charge of
assault to murder. He was released on
$500 cash bail accepted by Police Judge

Giovannoni used to work for Nc
Kown, but left him about a year ago
and went to Alaska. After his return
he alleges that McKown insulted and
threatened him and when he entered
into partnership with Milton Gale in
the teaming business McKown abused
him every time he met him. Yesterday
morning Giovannoni alleges that Nc
Kown wanted to fight. and being afraid
that McKown, who is much the taller
and bigger of the two, would do him
serious injury, he pulled revolver out
of his pocket to scare him. McKown
seized a shovel and Giovannoni fired
the shot, not intending to hit him. Clio

FEE QUESTION CAUSES
INQUIRY INTO ESTATES
Judge Coffey. Takes Action on Proper
ties That Should Have Escheated
tho

10 the 1eOple.
Forty-five estates, ranging in value
from s27 TO 1928, which passed
through the hands of Former Public
Administrator John A. Drinkhouse
and which should have escheated to
the State because no heirs were found,
were the subject of an inquiry in
Judge Coffey's Court yesterday. They
came UP on an attempt of the attor-
neys for Drinkhouse to obtain a fee
for services they claimed they had
rendered in searching for heirs. Judge
Coffey took no pains to hide the fact
that he did not like the proceedings
and desired a further investigation. In
accordance with his expressed views
he set the matter for hearing on
April 6.
The total value Of the estates is
s3245. According to an oft-expressed
opinion of the judiciary, estates of
this kind. for which no heirs have
been found, should escheat to the State
after a certain period. The Public
Administrator" said Coffey, is not in
the business of searching for heirs,
and therefore his attorneys should
not be allowed any extra fees for
making a search" A representative of
the Attorney General Of the State was
present during the proceedings, for
lipon the Office OF his chief devolves
the duty Of securing for the Golfers of
the State the stray pennies and nickels
and dimes left by those who die leav-
ing no one who has a rightful claim
upon their estates.
