CANNOT ROUTE
ARBITRARILY
Fruit Growers Are VictOrs
in Legal Battle to Deter
mine Rights as Shippers
RAILROADS LOSE SUIT
Judge WellbOrn Refuses to
Grant Corporations Plea
to Stay Ruling of the Court

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 20.-Judge
Wellborn, in the United States Circuit
Court this morning rendered his de-
cision in the fruit routing case. deny
ing the application for a stay OF exc
cution asked for by the railroad upon
the former decision of the court. which
decision denied right of the railroads
to arbitrarily route shipments of fruit
at the initial shipping point The at
torneys for the railroads gave notice
of appeal from the latest decision both
to the Circuit Court Of Appeals and
the United States Supreme Court.
Judge Wellborn announced that he
had been unable to file a written opin-
ion. A synopsis of his oral opinion
follows:
The doctrine OF comparative hardships should
be applied to the case. To justify the suspen-
sion Of the decree ii must be shown, first
that irremediabe damage will result to the
defendants by its enforcement. and, second
that no such loss will result to the complain
ant, and by this is meant. not the Interstate
Commerce Commission. but the general public
or, especially. the citrus fruit shippers
II may be conceded that the defendants will
sustain damages by the enforcement Of the
decree, for which there is no adequate recon-
perse, but the nature and amount OF which
not ascertainable.
AS against this phase of the case the prop
osftfon arises will the complainant sustain
damages by reason OF the suspension OF the
decree? In what condition VIII the suspension
OF the decree leave the shippers? The decree
restores TO them the routing privilege; the
suspension will take IL from them and thereby
utterly destroy competition both as 10 service
and rates
As to the value OF this privilege il is only
necessary to refer the testimony OF BisseII
and others. That IL is OF great value is evil
denced by the efforts that have been made to
retain 1t. as shown by this litigation. and the
statements that have been made that the rail-
roads expect to transport ., 900 or 10000 cars
OF citrus fruits this year
Rebates violation Of the fnterstste act
fragrant that IL is difficult find language
sufficiently strong and bIistering character
lie IT, While the matter has not been treat
ed directly in the case at bar, am convinced
the joint tariff Is a violation OF that act. and
for that reason I cannot entertain favorabIy
the motion II the obvious intention to
violate some other law than the interstate act
II follows from the views expressed that the
motion, for stay OF the decree IS denied The
temporary stays are terminated.
MiIliken at once filed notices Of ap-
peal to the Circuit Court of Appeals
of the Ninth District and also TO the
Supreme Court of the United States,
and asked that the court, in fixing the
bond for costs, also fix the amount to
cover damages, so that II could act as
supersedeas.
Il will not approve bond that
would have the effect Of multiplying my
action" said the Judge.

When Charles Gustayus Adams, at
tcrney az law and formerly an Epis-
copal clergyman. turned on the gas
last Tuesday night in his room at lis
Eddy street. he ended by a tragedy
life that had been full Of tragedies. On
June Il, 1901, Adams. then a clergy
man, residing in Berkeley, shot and
killed J. T. Jessup, a dentist. Adams
was laboring under a 1T of delirium
tremens and was beating his daughter
She telephOned for Jessup to come and
save her, and when the dentist ap-
peared on the stairway the frenzied
minister shot him, infiicting a mortal
wound Adams was acquitted on the
ground Of insanity and was commit
ted 10 the hospital for the insane at
AgneWs, whence he was discharged as
cured about two years ago.
Adams has since lived in this city
and practiced law, his Office at the
time of his death being in the Column
bian building, SIC Market street. His

/ had been keeping company for about
month The girl left him last Tues
day, and residents Of the house in

Adams said TO her: Maud, if you
won't come back to me, I'll commit
suicide.
Between and 10 o'clock last Tues
day night, the landlady. Mrs. :. G.
Madden. smelled gas escaping from his
room. She entered and asked Adams
who was in bed, why he had turned
on the gas. and he denied the fact or
that the gas was escaping. The burner
was open at the time and the fluid was
pouring from it. Mrs. Madden closed
the key and warned him 10 be more
careful Then she opened the win
dow and left the room.
In the morning the windows were
closed. the gas valve was open and
[ Adams lay dead on his bed fully

Railroad Official Succumbs to
Heart Disease During Ex-
element Caused by Coli
sion of Trains at Yuba Pass
COMPANY PROPERTY
BADLY DAMAGED
Wreckage Catches Fire and
Flames Destroy SnOWsheds,
Trackage, Valuable Freight
and Four Carloads of Cattle

TRUCKER, Oct. 20.-R. ]. Laws, SUI
perintendent of the Sacramento divi-
sion. fell dead, presumably from heart
disease, at Yuba Pass this morning.
His private car was attached to No. 3,
the westbound overland, when the train
crashed into the rear end of freight
train No. lis. The caboose of the freight
train was demolished, several freight
cars were crushed, portions of the
snowshed timbers knocked down
and the head engine of the passenger
was badly injured. Fire broke out al
most instantly, and the flames from
the wreckage speedily caught in the
shed tirnbers.
Four carloads of cattle were burned.
The car doors were opened. but the cat
tie would not escape and slowly burned
10 death. None of the passengers was
seriously injured, but all were badly
shaken IN, and the confusion and ex-
element was indescribable- Superin-
tendent Laws was stricken down al
most Immediately after the accident
The passenger train was backed up TO
Cisco, where 1t is at present. the body
of Superintendent Laws resting in his
private car.
The forward portion of the freight
train escaped from the burning sheds,
and dre trains were soon Dattl1ng Win
the flames, but a mile of snowsheds
was consumed.
A snowshed outfit or wrecking train
together with the station at Yuba Pass
and all the telegraph poles and lines
were totally destroyed. Large forces
of sworkmen are engaged in clearing
away the burning timbers and laying
new track, but it will be near midnight
before trains can pass.
The passengers that were travelling
in the two coaches that were destroyed
their lives, although many of them
were given a hard shaking up when
the two trains came together and re-
ceived slight injuries. such as bumps
and bruises.
1t is said that none of the baggage
belonging TO the tourists was saved and
most OF them will arrive in this State
with a scant supply of clothing.
At o'clock this afternoon twenty
freight cars of train No. 21S plunged on
a bridge between Marmol and Calvade
into the Truckee River. 1t is claimed
that no one was hurt. The bridge is
seriously injured and wrecking train
and bridge crew from Cisco, after
working at the Yuba Pass wreck all
! DAY, sped through Truckee at o'clock
tonight to try to repair the bridge
The current of the river is not strong
enough to sweep the cars away and
! they lie in a most inextricably con-
+ fused and broken mass thirty feet be-
/ low the bridge.
