BIOLOGICAL WORK TO
BE BEGUN AT LA J0LLA
Prof. Ritter Sets Forth Advantages OF
Site Owing to Climate and
Proximity
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
SAN DIEGO, May 9.-Professor Will
liam e. Ritter of the University of Cal
ifornia writes that he will be here with
his staff of assistants to start the ma
rine biological work at La Jolla. where
the first temporary laboratory is being
erected.
The reasons for going to La Jolla are
that the ocean life which the biologists
wish to study is found off shore only a
few miles, whereas in the locality Of
San Diego 1t is about twelve miles out;
and Furthermore, the waters Off San
Diego are more or less polluted by the
outpourings of San Diego bay, while
those off La Jolla are not.
Professor Ritter says he may give
several illustrated lectures during the
summer explaining the work.
E. c. Stark of Stanford university,
accompanied by a student from the
same place, is expected to arrive in
San Diego In few days to work at the
station.
Professor Ritter has recently pub
lished a pamphlet outlining the ad-
vantages OF the La Jolla location as
being climate, proximity to oceanic
conditions and continuousness Of the
field work. The weather in Southern
California offers little obstacle to work.
The professor submits several tables
to show that the climatic conditions
are such that far more research work
can be done here than at any OF the
Atlantic coast stations.

COAST Mill MEN TESTIFY AS
TO CORN RATE
DIFFERENTIAL IS TOO SMALL
Cost Of Manufacturing Meal Is So
Much Greater Here That Even
More Allowance Should

DIFFERENTIAL IS TOO SMALL
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, May 9.-The Interstate
commerce commission during it's corn
products investigation" today heard
representatives of California Mill in
terests who protested against a reduc-
tion of the ten cent differential exist
ing on" corn meal rates over rates on
corn from Nebraska to Pacific coast
points.
VIC. Keller president of the Globe
Grain and Milling company of San
Francisco, testified that even the ten
cent differential rate is so low as to
greatly injure the business of the Cali
fornia millers. THE cost of manu-
featuring corn meal" declared Mr.
Keller, "is so great to us that if the
differential were lower we could in no
way compete with the Nebraska men.
If it is lowered we will simply have
to go out of business in California. To
be fair it should be at least twenty
instead of ten cents"
w. M. Smith and c. F. Laremeister,
San Francisco cereal manufacturers,
made similar statements.
Chairman Clements then announced
that the corn investigation would rest
for,the present and that the commission
would proceed with an investigation
into woodenware rates.
Silas Bulkard, attorney for the Mena-
she. Wis. Woodenware company. en-
tered complaint that certain trans
continental railways are charging more
for transporting woodenware from
Wisconsin to Pacific coast points than
from the Pacific coast to Chicago and
other cities of the central states. The
Northern Pacific and the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy railways were the
roads specified.
James B. Kerr appeared as the rep
resentatives for the Northern Pacific
interests and J. p. Dawes represented
the Burlington.

San Bernardino Lawyer Digs Up a
Musty Statute Under Which
Drinkers Liability Is Limited

Special to The Herald.
SAN BERNARDINO, May 9.-How
big a bar bill man can run and be
sued for is a question that a San Ber-
nardino court has had to pass upon this
week.
A local saloon keeper had a bill of
$12 against one of his customers and
went to court to collect it.
The delinquent customer determined
to fight the case and employed Attorney
Dickson. He dug up his dusty volumes
of legal lore away back in the early
'70s and found law providing that a
bar bill of not to exceed IS may be re-
covered at law. This law, it seems, has
never been repealed.
Justice Thomas has rendered judg
ment accordingly for the plaintiff in the
sum of SIS and costs.

BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, May 9.-The large depart
ment stores and the express companies
today resumed business on almost q
normal basis. They $ept their wagons
into the extreme parts of the city, in
some instances without police protec-
tion, and transacted their business
without interruption or trouble of a
serious character.
Sixteen hundred teams were at work
today and the number will be increased
tomorrow. Notwithstanding this ap-
parent gain, however, there are strong
indications tonight that the strike will
spread within the next few days, not
only among the teamsters but will in
volve other unions as we'll.
The drivers Of the Wenig Teaming
company, a large concern chiefly en-
gagged in delivering flour, went out to-
day when one of their number was dis
charged for refusing to deliver flour to
boycotted house. The Wenig COM
pany is a strong factor in the Team
Owners association, which has here
tofore sided rather with the Team
sters union than with the Employers
association.

NOW WANT TO REDUCE ICING
CHARGES
FRUIT SHIPPERS Reject PLAN
Officials of the Refrigerator Line Pro-

Product
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
CHICAGO, May 9.-Officials Of the
Armour car lines will go before the in
terstate commerce commission tomor-
row with an offer to reduce Icing
charges from Is to 30 per cent, on con-
dition that what is known as the
Michigan fruit case" be dismissed.
This compromise was offered today
to George w. Plummer, attorney for
the commission men. 1t was fatty
refused.
1t was said the proposition was pre-
sented to the commission men at the
suggestion of the interstate commerce
commission the plan having been out
lined to that body early today
1t is understood that Vice President
Robbins of the Armour lines will pub
licly offer to make these reductions in
icing charges provided the commission
will discontinue it's investigation.
The car line officials stated that un-
less the compromise was accepted they
would fight the matter to the bitter
end. If this resolution Is adhered to
it will likely put the Pere Marquette
road out of the Michigan fruit busi-
ness until it can get hold of its own
or of another line of refrigerator cars.
The Michigan Central will have its
own cars, and unless the icing charges
are reduced in Armour cars it will be
impossible for the Pere Marquette to
compete with 1t.

SECRETARY MAKES STIRRING
SPEECH
FAvoRs RATE SUPERVISION
President stuyvesant Fish Of the
American Association Makes In
slant Reply-Says Present
Laws Sufficient
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, May 9.-Secretary
Taft fairly took the breath of thethree
hundred railway men, members of the
international Railway Congress, dining
tonight as the guests Of the American
Railway association at the New Will
lard hotel, when, after being introduced
as "The apostle from the Philippines,
he emphatically declared that railway
rate legislation must come; that II the
railway men Of the country were wise
they would aid and not hinder it; that
the sentiment of the country Is such
that failure of proper regulation meant
a campaign on the subject that would
do no good to the railroads.
Absolute silence reigned as Secretary
Taft spoke his mind on the subject of
rates.
"You cannot run railroads as you run
private business" he said, "You must
respond to the public demand. If there
is danger of discrimination, then you
must allow the establishment of some
tribunal that will remedy that discrimi-
nation"
The secretary saw no reason why a
tribunal properly constituted should not
be competent in every sense Of the word
to fix a maximum rate.
Fish Makes Reply
President Stuyvesant Fish Of the
American Railway association had in
troduced Secretary Taft in his capacity
as toastrlaster.
Mr.. Fish was on his feet the instant
the secretary concluded. He answered
the secretary at length, taking the view
that the law to prevent discrimination,
double dealing and secret rebates was
ample AS he sat down Secretary Taft,
who sat next him, queried in low
tone, May : have fifteen minutes to
reply?" &
This time was .'ven, and the secre-
tary utilized 1t in ms king himself even
more positive as to his position in favor
of legislation which would create a
tribunal with authority to name a
maximum rate. "The law now is,' con-
tinued the secretary, "as decided by the
supreme court of the United States,
that first commission, then the courts,
may declare whether a particular rate
is reasonable or unreasonable.
what 1 am strongly in favor of,
though, is that we shall have body
that shall decide things, and that those
things shall be decided within a rea-
sonable time finally by the courts"
Mr.. Fish then took up the argument,
contending it was the question Of fix
ing the rate for the seller of goods.

FREDERICK NURENBERdER
lSDECLARED GUILTY

Frederick Nurenberger, the old
Burlington soldier, who was
tried in the U. S. court at Fargo
charged with obtaining lands
from the governme,ltfraudulent-
ly was convicted on seven counts.
The verdictw returned Sunday
morning, and Judge A1nidon
ordered Nurenberger into custo-
dy and fixed his bail at $4,000.
A motion for a new trial will be
made. The evidence is SO direct
that there is little probability
that the trial will begranted.
Nurenberger came to North
Dakota from Ohio d few years
ago and got his old soldier
friends to come out and take
land. He would pay their ex-
penses and when they proved up,
paid them 5000 for their trouble
and he kept theland Several OF
these contracts were used in the
evidence against him. If he does
not get a new trial, he is likely
to be sentenced to a long term

Mrs. Claude McCallister. whose

was brot here the latter part OF
the week by.J. w. George, turned
up missing July 4th and it is be-
iieved tha- she will stay away
for a time to avoid appearing
against her husband. 1t does
beat the world how some women
will stand by the man, who
treats them worse than dogs. We
understand that Mrs. McCallis-
ter was anxious to have her hus-
band arrested, but perhaps she
did not intend to appear against
him any of the time. If her am-
davit is in charge OF the states
attorney, it should be produced
and the prosecution should con-
tinue just the same.
Mrs. McCallister was stopping
at the home of her sister and re-
fused to celebrate the Fourth.
She remained at home all day,
but in the evening accompanied
a lady friend down town. In
the big crowd she became sepa-

LATER: A telegram was re.
ceived from Mrs. McCallister that

her S. to Yankton, S. D. 1t is

ity OF her being mentally unbal-
anced on account Of her terrible
trouble. The morning before
she left, she received a letterfrom
her husband, who asked her to
come to Idaho to live with him.
The letter was an affectionate
one,s and was written evidently
to excite her sympathy.
