DENY LOWER RAILROAD RATES
Roads Entering San Francisco Re-
fuse to Make Concessions
on Building Material
BY Associa ted Press.


SAN FRANCISCO, June 17-There
will be no reduction in freight rates on
building material to San Francisco, and
builders and property owners who have
been hoping for some reduction in the
rail rates on structural steel and other
materials from the east will be des-
tined to a serious disappointment
1t is announced on the authority of
the traffic department of the Southern
Pacific that no such reductions have
been or will be considered by the
transcontinental lines.
1t is explained that reductions in
rates cannot be made to San Francisco
without making them applicable to all
other Pacific coast terminals.
For this reason the Southern Pacific,
Santa Fe and other connections are
prevented from doing all that they
would like to do in the way of reduced
rates to stimulate the rebuilding of San
Francisco.

JAPANESE SHUT
OUT COMPETITION
American and European Merchants
Complain of Existing Conditions
and Greatly Desire Another
Treaty
ny Associated Press.

ny Associated Press.
PE<IN, June 17.-Widespread and
growing dissatisfaction is being mani
Tested by American and European
merchants, banks and shipping firms
against the Japanese administration
in Manchuria.
The Japanese occupation continues
under the Portsmouth treaty until next
April, and in the meantime foreign
commerce Is almost blocked, the Jap
anese merchants gaining advantages
which make it increasingly difficult to
compete with them.
Foreign goods enter Manchuria
through Port Newchwang, where the
regular Chinese customs duties are
levied, while the Japanese import
duty.
Mukden and Antung are nominally
opened to foreign trade but for
eigners are not permitted to go inland
without Japanese passes, while many
Japanese merchants, miners and pro-
moters are allowed to travel the coun-
try free.
Foreign Merchants Complain
Foreign merchants complain that OBJ
staces are placed in the way of ship
ping goods to the interior from New
chwang, as the Japanese control of the
railway gives them special advantages.
Antung and Mukden at present are
practically worthless bases for foreign
trade because of the difficulty in dis
tributing goods from those points. The
foreign merchants are further handi-
capped by the circulation of war notes
to an amount estimated at between
fifty and seventy-five million yen,
which can be used only in Japanese
trade.
Large and fiourishing settlements OF
japanese are located at Mukden, An
tung and other places.
Consul General Sammoni visited
Mukden and Antung to arrange with
the Chinese the details for the open
ing of those points to foreign trade
under the American treaty OF 1903.
1t is believed the Chinese are stub
bornly trying to insist on regulations
similar to those whereby Tsingtau
and Shantung were recently opened,
which gives China a greater control
of foreign settlements than in the old
treaty ports.

out, followed by the cry Now give it
to them, boys"
Several volleys were then fired on
the launch in rapid succession and the
terrified union men Immediately sought
the shelter of tie small cabin of the
launch.
AS soon as orders could be given to
the engineer of the launch he turned
about and sped his boat away from the
scene as rapidly as possible.
A run of nearly two miles was taken
to the harbor emergency hospital.
where the men who were shot were
quickly lifted from the boat by their
friends.
At the hospital 1t was found that
