De EMURRACE RATES
ARE INCREASED.
Southern Pacific Adds to
Charges on Cars laden
With Hay and Lumber

Demurrage rates are ordered in
creased. That was the decision ar
rived at at a meeting of the head off,
yesterday.
AS a starter to help out the relief
of the CONGESTION of freight cars here,
rates on cars loaded with hay and lum-
ber are the first to come under the
now the rates on hay and lumber cars
will be increased as follows. The regu-
lar rate is now 81 per day:
When the new edict goes into force
the rates will be 81 for the second day,
So for the third day. 81 for the fourth
day and So for the fifth day-and> from
then on s5 day, until the hay or lum-
Der, as it may be, is removed from the
cars.
Vice President e. E. Calvin in
speaking of the situation said:
This seems to be the only way to
help out the situation. We must have
our cars unloaded here, in order to let
others in that are now lying on the
tracks between here and Sparks. We
have APPEALED to the merchants to come
and take their goods. Many of them
have responded, but still there is big
congestion here. principally of hay and
lumber, and we think the steps we
have taken to increase the demurrage
will have tendency to relieve us OF
the burden we are now carrying.
No movement was made yesterday to
increase demurrage rates on other cars
lying here laden with merchandise. AS
a further means of assisting the re-
lieving of the congestion of freight
cars here the Southern Pacific Com
pany has decided to ask the Board OF
Supervisors to grant them permission
to run spur tracks through the streets
of the city.
This action was decided upon at a
meeting which included Vice President
E. E. Calvin, W. S. Sproule. freight
traffic manager, and e. e. Mote, man
ager of the car service bureau. These
spurs the company wishes to run are
to be temporary tracks, and are to be
removed as soon as the congestion is
relieved. This will give the merchants
a chance to take possession of their
goods. or at least a better chance than
they have now to get hold of them
considering the number OF cars lined
up at the freight yards.
Four hundred cars We're unloaded
here on Thursday and about the same
number yesterday, and while this Of
fers some relief at this point and
Oakland. cars are still pouring in to
Sparks from Eastern points at the
same rate they are being unloaded
here.

Assumed Names
Fail to Hide
Identity.
Travel to Martinez
for the Ceremony

- AKLAND. Aug. 3.-Reunited
with his sweetheart after his
flight that began on the eve of
his wedding day seven months
ago. Charles S. Thompson, late vice
principal Of the Livermore High School.
became the husband today of pretty
Alma V. Hand of Alameda. Romance,
mystery. threats of death from the
woman who broke into the marriage
from long hiding OF a runaway groom,
forgiveness and now a wedding in fact,
mark some OF the chapters in the long
struggles OF Cupid to bring this couple
together for good.
But the final word was net said to-
day in. the quiet rectory of the Meth
odist church at Martinez without a
scene OF unwonted anger on the
groom's part, the chiding by the bride
prospective, and even at the last a de-
termined threat not to wed on Miss
Hands part unless her admirer should
control his temper.
But for the seriousness of the situa-
tion it would have become almost 1udi-
crous. The former runaway groom
made efforts to bury his identity and
prevent the world from knowing of his
return and marriage to the girl he had
deserted.
Thompson, as one from the dead.
dropped quietly into Martinez this
morning with his once-deserted second
time bride and her mother, Mrs. v.
Hand, Mrs Agnes Taylor and Miss
Morsant of Alameda. At the Martinez
Hotel he registered as &C. Gilbert of
San Francisco, the other members of
the party signing as Mrs. Main and
daughters, Oakland.
GIVES "CHARLIE' WARNING.
That was all well enough, but Thomp-
son struck a snag when he repaired to
the County Clerks office for license.
He was unaccompanied by the bride.
You must have the young woman
here" declared the Clerk.
Not So" insisted Thompson, hurting
what he declared was the law on the
subject. But the Clerk held the better
hand and Thompson, hcenseless, re-
turned TO the hotel and re-entered the
County Clerks Office shortly afterward
with the blushing Miss Hand. 4 license
was issued to Charles S Thompson, 20
wears old, of Denver, Colo, and Miss
Alma V Hand. 81, of Alameda.
By that time the Contra Costa
County seat was astfr. Inquiry was
made as to the strangers, with the re-
suit that Thompson. in a violent Mt OF
temper. made a swing at one OF his
ouestioners with the comment:
Don't talk to me. 1 don't want any
newspaper publication about this The
notoriety I've already had has cost me
see here, Charlie" interjected Miss
Hand. IF you don't act better 1 won't
marry you"

FINS ARE SIMILAR TO WINGS.
Flying Fish Really Propel Themselves
Through the Air.


Through the Air.
Does the flying fish really fly, or is
the so-called flight a mere extended
leap, in which the fins are used on
the principle of the aeroplane to float
or rest on the air, and so afford sup.
port to the body? The question has
been much discussed, and many nat
uralists have denied it the power of
true flight. Mr.. Frank Bullen, who in
his many voyages has had unique op.
portunities for observing the flying
fish, is emphatic in the assertion that
1t does really fly in the proper sense
OF the word He has seen it, for ex-
ample, change it's course at a sharp
angle when an obstacle interviewed,
and when about to re-enter the water
he has seen it rise and continue its
course on seeing an enemy below
Some recent observations contributed
by Lieut.. Col. Durnford to the Lon.
don Annals and Magazine of Natural
History. confirm this view The
writer contends that the ordinary
aeroplane theory involves a mechani-
cal impossibility The true explana.
ton is an intensely rapid vibration of
the winglike fins-a vibration which
becomes apparent to the eye as 1t
slows down when the fish reaches the
water-LOndOn Globe.

spIder LIVED Lona on LIaht.

Little Miss Muffet's spider was per-
haps not SO hungry as he looked.
M. ]. H. Fabre has studied the spi-
der's powers of fasting. He noticed
that the mother spider carries its lit
tie ones on its back for seven months,
and that during that time the young
spiders consume absolutely no food.
He concluded from this observation
that 1t is the solar heat and light that
for them directly takes the place OF
nourishment. In other words, the
motor heat in these young animals,
instead of being released from the
food, might be utilized directly as the
sun, source of all life, radiates 1t.

Justice Gabbert Draws Conclusions in
Which Incarceration Of Labor
Leader by the State Militia
During Late Strike is
Upheld.

Denver.-Chief Justice Gabbert of
the state supreme court has fled a
supplemental opinion in the Meyer
case 1t Is generally conceded that
this new opinion will take precedence
over the former majority opinion as
the latest expression of the court.
The chief justice declares that the
governor of the state has the power
to suspend habeas corpus at his dis
erection and that the courts cannot re-
view the action.
The body of the new opinion is TAX
en- up with excerpts from an opinion
of Justice Johnson in case in the
Philippine islands in which the power
of the governor-general to suspend
the privileges of the writ of habeas
corpus during a state of instruction
in the province of Batangas was up
held. The chief justice finds the case
analogous to the situation presented
in Colorado during the labor troubles,
and draws conclusions in which the
incarceration of Charles H. Meyer by
the military is upheld.

me only temporary relief. So | suf-
fered on. till one day in 1904, woman
doctor told me to drink Postum Food
Coffee. She said | looked like was

so began to drink Postum and
gained Is pounds in the first few
weeks and am still gaining, but not
so fast as at first. My headache began
to leave me after | had used Postum
about two weeks-long enough / ex-
pect to get the coffee poison out of my

Now that few months have
