OLD IND|CT ME- ENTS
ARE QUAsHED

The indictments charging F. n.
Meggs and E. c. Dudley with swearing
to a false proof loss on policy of in
surance of $1,000 in the F'ireman's Fund
insurance Company. was quashed yes
terday by order of Superior Judge
Cook on the showing made by the
defendants at the hearing of the case
last Saturday, when evidence was in
troduced to show that E. P Farms
worth, a member of the Grand Jury
which indicted the two men, occupied
the dual position of prosecuting officer
and juryman-
Il was shown by the defendants that
Farnsworth was a member of the ad-
justing committee of the Fireman's
Fund Insurance Company. and as such
had summoned Dudley to appear and
testify under oath before the commit
tee regarding a certain policy of in
surance which was the same as that
on which the indictment was later
found by the Grand Jury. 1t was
argued that Farnsworth was thus
prejudiced in the case and that his
voting on the indictment rendered it
void.
yesterday that he had employed Farms
worth to probe the Meggs and Dudley
case, as he suspected something
crooked in connection with the sworn
proof of loss, and Farnsworth himself
admitted on the stand that he had
formed a positive opinion as to the
guilt of the two men before the mat
ter was laid before the Grand. Jury.
and that he himself brought the mat
ter 10 the attention of the body and
voted on the Indictment
Meggs is a commission merchant and
Dudley is the president of the San
Francisco Parcel and Delivery Com
pany They are accused of having
sworn to the destruction of certain
wagons, harness and robes belonging
to the delivery company, which thev
claimed had been burned, but which
were in reality saved.
In quashing the Indictment Judge
Cook ordered that the matter be
brought to the attention of the pres
ent Grand Jury at once

LOCAL BANKS ESTABLISH
NEW RECORD FOR BUSINESS
Up to Noon Yesterday S56,437 400. %
Passed Through the Clearing
House

High water mark was touched by
the clearings of San Francisco's banks
this week. According to the figures
secured by the California Promotion
Committee. the banks OF San Francisco
cleared a total Of s5s.4s7. 4o0.s6 for the
week ending yesterday at noon. For
the same period OF last year the total
was s45. 5.303.199.9s. making a gain of
s11.134.2o0.9S, or 24.57 per cent.
During the same weeks the cIearings
of the Oakland banks, which were do
ing business through the San Francisco
clearing house last year. amounted to
s3,793.s1O-O6. making a grand total for
the two bay cities of $60,231, ,21102
During the same time the new clearing
house, which has been established since
the fire at San Jose, did a business of
s519.275.20.
These figures are evidence that the
increase in the clearings which have
been noted since last June have not
been dependent upon the payment Of
insurance. but are due TO the enormous
business which<simply suffered a slight
interruption by the disaster of last
April.

DECIDE TO COMPLY
WITH NEW LAW

The Hepburn bill will be lived up
to even If some merchant has TO be
vexed," said Edward Chambers, assist
ant freight traffic manager OF the San
ia Fe, yesterday. The law demands
that there shall be no discrimination
and all the lines have determined that
1t will have to be obeyed.
Since the passage of the Hepburn
amendment to the interstate commerce
act. which strictly prohibits discrimi-
nation of any character" said Cham
bers, 1T has become necessary to place
all carload shippers and receivers on
an equality. In order to have uniform
ity and comply with the law, railroads
hereafter will not furnish help to as
sist in loading or unloading carload
shipments.
When the railroad Is obliged to
handle such shipments for any reason
a charge of 20 cents per ton will be
made. This means that when ship
ments are not loaded or unloaded by
the owner within the free time allowed
the railroad reserves the right to per-
form the service and make a charge of
20 cents per ton for the same. This
rule is now published in all tariffs
This is one Of the requirements OF
the new law that works to the disad-
vantage of some shippers and receivers.
but places the merchant who handles
goods from track alongside OF his
warehouse on an equality with the
merchant who hauls his goods from
the regular team track"
