SAN DIEGO, June 13.-Howard w.
Throckmorton the close friend of
George G. Boldt, jr, who was married
last week to Miss Estelle Savln of Tia
Juana, was an arrival on this mornings
owl from Los Angeles.
Mr.. Throckmorton, when he stepped
from the train, looked rather pale and
was not by any means the debonair
young man who has spent the larger
part of the past winter in San Diego
and Tia Juana with Mr.. Boldt.
Last. evening Mr.. Throckmorton was
one of the actors in an exciting episode
in Los Angeles which nearly resulted
fatally for him. As he was on his way
to the Santa Fe train to come to San
Diego he was assailed by two Mexicans
and in the melee which ensued he was
stabbed over the heart.
There have been guesses that there
was more in the assault than the at
tempt at robbery, but Throckmorton
declares there was nothing behind it.
Tells of Encounter
'I do not want any sensation about
this" he said. "There was nothing be-
hind it. 1t was robbery, l think. 1 had
considerable money with me at the
time. The man tried to take my money
and my watch. We rolled over on the
ground as 1 grappled for protection
and then is when he stabbed me. I
fired twice at the man, who spoke in
broken language as foreigner.
think 1 hit him for he gave an outcry
as If in pain. / am not Mr.. Boldt's sec
rotary. We have long been friends. 1
am not engaged. / hope they catch the
man who attacked me-"
The young man has been going with
Miss Angie Savin. sister of Estelle
Savin. whom George C. Boldt jr., re-
Gently married at Yuma and it has
and would soon be married.
Boldt was at Tia Juana and was more
willing to talk.
"Throckmorton told me an attempt
was made to rob him, and believe his
statement he said He has no enc
mics. He was walking alone to the de-
pot when the men attacked him and
inflicted long but very shallow cut
on his left side near the heart.
Knows Nothing of Marriage
CHE is able to walk around and his
wound is not at all serious
"Throckmorton had no papers OF
nlne with MIN. he is not my secretary,
and is travelling as my guest. We ex-
pect to remain here and at San Diego
for some little time longer
IT am willing to give you all the in
formation you want on this stabbing
affair, but really we know little about
it ourselves. The attack was made

JEALOUSY MAY
END IN MURDER
Rose Moreno While Coming Down
Stairway Of Roomlng House Is
Attacked by Woman With
Dirk

AS Rose Moreno, pretty Spanish
girl, came down the stairway of the
Rand rooming house, 361 North Main
street, late last night she was met by
Daisy Davis, who struck her with a
dirk. inflicting severe wounds on her
head and arms. Following the assault
the Davis woman threw the knife to the
ground and ran down Spring street to
First and then down toward Los An
geles street.
Up to a late hour last night she had
not been found by the police, and IL is
thought that she escaped from the city
with a Mexican, over whom the trouble
started.
The Moreno girl was brought TO the
receiving hospital where her wounds
were dressed but at an early hour this
morning it was thought she had little
chance to recover. She was taken to
her home at $40 Los Angeles street.
The police have an excellent descrip
ton of the woman who attacked the
Spanish girl.
1t is known that both women are
enamored of the Mexican, and until a
short time ago the Spanish girl is
alleged to have been engaged to him.

SAN PEDRO, June 13-The strike

men positively refuse to take away the
cargo should a new crew be secured.
IL is not expected tnaC tnere Will be
any trouble with the vessels, and
should the captains conclude to
leave the harbor without discharg-
ing what cargo they have they will be
allowed to do so without any demon
stration.
Seven Ships in Port
There are at present besides the
Nome City and Mayfair, five steamers
in port and on all of them the men are
at work, the owners having granted the
increase in wages or come to an agree
ment that the men will work until the
conference between the union and the
ship owners of San Francisco comes
to an end.
Had the owners of the Coronado, on
which the little trouble occurred yes
terday, entered into the same agree
ment there would have, so the sailors
say, been no excitement and the Cor
onado could have gone out at any time
it pleased. The sailors did not demand
final settlement, but that the raise
in wages simply be granted until the
matter was settled at San Francisco.
This would have given the steamer a
chance to obtain another cargo and the
owners would have been far ahead in
purse, they say.
The Mayfair belongs to Beadle Bros.
of San Francisco and is also under
command of a Capt. Hansen. She has
nearly full cargo on board.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 13-The
Chicago, Burlington G. Quincy Rail-
way company was found guilty here
late this afternoon by a jury in the
United States district court on four
counts of granting concessions on
packing house shipments for export to
the Armour Packing company, Swift
& Co., Cudahy G. Co., and the Nelson
Morris Packing company.
The conviction carries with it a
fine of from $1,000 to $4,000 on each
count. Judge Smith Mcpherson, the
presiding judge, deferred sentence until
June %. All four counts are practi-
cally the same.
The case of ArmouE& Co., on which
Instructions were read to the jury,
charged specifically that the Burlington
on August II, 1906 accepted ship
ment of oleo oil from Kansas City to
Liverpool at a rate of % cents a hun
dred pounds. Mississippi river to New
York, whereas the regular tariff at
that time was 35 cents.
Cut Regular Rate
To simplify the case, A. S. Van VAL
kenburg, district attorney for the gov
ernment, and Judge o. M. Spencer, as
slstant attorney defendant, signed an
agreement of facts, which was in effect
that the Burlington did contract with
the packers to carry their product at 23
cents, for the distance named, or a
rate of 40 cents for the whole distance
from Kansas City to Liverpool.
But half a dozen witnesses were ex-
amined, their testimony being largely
technical and pertaining to the tariffs
In existence at the time covered in the
Indictment.
Judge Mcpherson, instructing the
jury, said that the Burlington railway
had no right to make a contract for
period longer than the established
rate of % cents should be in force.
To have carried shipments for 20 cents
after August II, 1905, when the tariff
was raised to 35 cents, would be con-
sidered a concession. The failure Of
the Burlington to file the schedule of
20 cents was immaterial.
The jury retired at o'clock and re-
turned with their verdict at 5:35.

His attitude, coupled with the inter-

comment from Commissioner Cockrell,

the commission that when his represen-
