SPOKANE MAKES A HARD FIGHT
Freight Discrimination Case Is Set for
Monday

The complaint of the city of Spokane
of discrimination in freight rates from
the eastern cities as compared with
rates to the Pacific coast cities will be
heard by the interstate commerce COM
mission today in the United States
court in Chicago.
A plea is made for the same rates
from Chicago and New York to
Spokane as apply to the Pacific coast
terminals because Spokane is 400 miles
nearer New York than the coast ter
minals, The coast jobber can buy in
New York or Chicago at the same
freight rate, but Spokane must pay a
higher rate from New York than from
Chicago.
The Hepburn bill, as interpreted by
the commission, will have a tendency
to make many changes in existing
tariffs, and after wrestling with the
problem for more than a week the
Transcontinental association adjourned
until committee of the western lines
goes to Washington to talk with the
commission and gets an understanding
as to what the association can do in re-
conciling the two tariffs.
If one class tariff is abolished and
the other is extended to cover the
entire west Spokane's complaint will
not have any basis as to class rates.
The case promises to be fought hard
as Chicago will interpose an objection
to making the rate to Spokane the same
from both New York and Chicago as II
VIII increase the competition OF the
local commercial interests.

REACH CRISIS IN MAIL CARS
Railroad Officials VIII See Postmaster
General

The big mail-carrying railroads have
decided to make an appeal to the new
| postmaster general against the rule
which the former incumbent of the posi-
tion promulgated requiring a change
in the methods Of weighing the mails
| A meeting was held in Chicago by the
superintendents Of mails for nearly all
the heavy mail-carrying roads, and II
was the general opinion that the new
order, if carried out, would make it
impossible for the railroads to furnish
the present service.
The new order requires that the
average weight of mail carried, the
basis on which the total pay is COM
puted, shall be determined by dividing
total weight carried for several days by
seven instead of six, as at present.
1t has been agreed that a committee
shall be appointed, made up of one rep
resentative of the three strongest
western and two of the strongest
eastern roads, and that this committee
shall lay the question before the post
master general.
II the attempt does not succeed then
1t will be necessary for the railroads
to say whether they will be compelled
to curtail the fast mail service.
Any attempt on the part of a single
road or of two or three roads to do SO
will result in general diversion of the
mails to railroads which accepted the
ruling. Therefore, If there is to be any
attempt to curtail the mail service, 1t is
admitted, it must be by a concerted
move by all of the main mail routes.

TEHUANTEPEC ROAD
A POTENT FACTOR
PROPOSAL PENDING TO DIVERT
PACIFIC FLEET
Isthmlan Line Attracts Business from
Panama and Transeontlnental
Roads-News Of the Rail-
road World

The potent influence of the Tehuante-
pee railroad as a factor in the trans
continental freight situation Is shown
in the proposal to divert a portion Of
the Pacific Mail fleet from the Panama
San Francisco run to connect with the
Tehuantepec road at Salina Cruz.
This plan, according to advices re-
ceived iu Los Angeles, is now being
considered by r. II. Hartman and
General Manager Schwerin of the Pa
cifc Mail.
The Tehuantepec railroad has already
made traffic arrangements with the
Hawaiian American steamship line, and
heavy cargoes are being delivered at
Coatzacolcos and Salina Cruz, to be
transhipped. The Tehuantepec road, in
fact, is in full operation as a carrier
of transcontinental freight and is able
to offer such rates as to attract busl-
ness both from the Panama railroad
and from the American transconti-
mental lines.
If judicicusly handled, it is probable
that it will prove to be one of the most
profitable pieces of railroad in the
world, as the Panama road has been,
so financiers predict.
Since the United States became the
owner of the Panama railroad. it has
road, If properly equipped and man
aged, railroad men say, would succeed
to much of the business that has been
going via Panama. The United States
cannot we'll operate its railroad as
competitor of the Tehuantepec road.
The Panama road is still common
carrier, and will handle all business
offered until the competition of the
canal causes it's abandonment except
for local uses. But it cannot be ex-
pected to reach out for business as a
private concern would be free to do.
The Tehuantepec road, on the other
hand, is being operated purely as
money-making institution, with un-
usual powers by reason Of being an
instrument Of the Mexican government
itself.
The report that the Pacific Mail is
about to make a traffic arrangement
with the railroad is sufficient to indi-
cate the Importance of the new thor
oughfare across the continent.

LITTLE CHURCH
IS DEDICATED
New Emmanuel German Evangelical
Institution Is One of the Small
est and Prettiest In
the City

The Emmanuel German Evangelical
church, Moneta avenue and Maple
avenue, that was dedicated yesterday
morning, is one Of the smallest and
prettiest churches in Los Angeles. 1t
is a small brick building, purchased
last January at the time Of the organ
ization of the church. 1t was origin
ally a dwelling house of five rooms,
built in mission style, with two un-
pretentious towers, the whole looking
on the outside more like a neatly-con-
structed church building than a resi-
dence.
At the service yesterday Rev. Otto
Satzinger, the pastor, presided. Rev.
j. G.. MangOld, member of the mission
board of the coast. Of Woodland,
preached the dedicatory sermon In
German, taking his text from Psalms,
26-S. Rev. #. Reiser of Pasadena as
sisted in the service.
The service was opened with a violin
solo with organ accompaniment. The
church choir and male quartet fur
nisheo music.
The church is the result Of the efforts
Of Rev Mr.. Satzinger a portion of the
German church organized five years
ago on Washington street and others.
This church was organized to better
accommodate the German-speaking
pSOPlO u lhdt pOIllOu OF Ine city. III
consists Of about thirty families, with
Sunday school, Ladies' Aid and
Young Peoples societies.
Rev. Mr. Satzinger was sent to Los
Angeles from Nebraska five years age
by the home mission board of evan
gelical synod of North America to or
ganize church which resulted in the
organization of st. PauTs German
church on Washington street. A good
church building was built there three
years ago. Rev. Mr.. Satzinger was
January, when he organized the new
church. The mother church is now be,
ing supplied.
The new church has seating ca.
pacity Of 1875 and will be enlarged as
necessity demands. The property is
valued at about $45O0 and is clear from
membranes.

tainly produced some good results
Some manufacturers hoped that by
means Of a pure food law, worded to
suit them, they would obtain certain
trade advantages over their competi-
tors, and fell in behind the advocates
Of the bill, yet It would be grossly
unfair to charge that all who favored
the bill were actuated by selfish mo-
tives Similarly few manufacturers op-
posed pure food legislation in itself,
but merely wished to protect them
selves against unjust legislation.
There is no question but that sooner
or later congress will be compelled to
take some action to separate the sheep
from the goats by providing that those
who undertake to influence legislation
shall do so openly, and state whom
they represent.
The recent activities of r. II. Harri-
man in this city and elsewhere, par
ticularly in the line Of making state
ments to the newspapers, has caused
much speculation as to the future re-
lations between the government and
the railroads.
Some years ago Senator Newlands
of Nevada champiOned the proposition
that If the government undertook to
regulate rates It should also regulate
dividends. 1t is evident that the rail-
road question has not been settled.
In fact it is simply opening up. The
safety Of the country demands fewer
grade crossings and the extension and
perfection of the block signal system.
The business interests demand more
engines and cars, more tracks and
increased terminal facilities. Legisla
lures are passing 2-cent rate laws and
the railroads are retaliating by cutting
off excursions and Communication tickets
Wall street investors generally are
looking for increased dividends. The
railroads themselves, meaning the men
actually engaged in operating the
roads, are caught between the two
conflicting interests, and in addition
are met with demands from their en-
ployes for more pay and reduced hours.
Altogether 1t would seem that If
congress is to regulate rates and hours
of employees, compel Improvements In
block signals and other facilities 1t
ought to take cognizance of dividends.
Certainly Improvements can be made
only if new stocks or bonds are issued
which means increased fixed charges,
or from the current earnings. 1t seems
unfair for congress to regulate that
source of income and then permit the
stock jobbers to determine what should
be done with it. Senator Newlands
advocated that the dividends should
be limited to a fixed and fair amount
and the remainer expended in improve
ments. When the income became more
than was necessary rates were to be
reduced.
Apparently Mr.. Hartman, If he can
read between the lines, has become
convinced that unless closer and more
friendly relations exist between the
government and the railroads the lat
ter will eventually be swallowed by
the former. And it seems that as long
as the finances Of the roads are to be
juggled about by Wall street specula-
tors the travelling and shipping public
will have to suffer either in the matter
of rates or facilities.
