CHINESE FAILS 70
GAIN PRETTY BRIDE
TRIES TO OBTAIN WRIT FOR THE
RELEASE OF MAIDEN FROM
OAKLAND MISSION

OAKLAND, July 1O.-Ah Guam, a
well to do Chinese merchant of San
Francisco, is seeking to marry pretty
Chung Kun Yoke. The fact that 49,,
dainty almond eyed beauty is the
wife of another Chinese has not pre-.
vented Guam from pressing his suit.
All Guam appeared before Judge Og.
den today and asked for a writ of
habeas corpus IN beDun of the wo.
man. Judge Ogden recalled that some
time ago he had refused to annul
Chung Kun Yoke's marriage to one
Ng Juck, now at Winters, which mar.
riage had taken place in Canton. So
the writ was denied.
All Guam pleaded that his intentions
toward the young woman were most
honorable; that he lover her sincerely
and desired to make her his wife. He
said that he once met her in the street
and that she told him she was will.
ing to marry him, but that he let her
go back to the mission, as he was re.
solved to accomplish his purpose
through the courts.
He testified that Miss Donaldina
Cameron, superintendent of the mis-.
sion, has refused him admission and
would not call Chung Kun Yoke when
he sent in his card. For this and 9th.
er alleged reasons he considered that
his sweetheart was being deprived
of her liberty and therefor asked for
a writ directing Miss Cameron to re-
lease her unto him
Judge Ogden said that while All
Guam might have been actuated by
high purposes, he failed to see how it
could aid him if he issued the writ,
as Chung Yum Yoke had admitted
that she was the wife of Ng Juck,
though she had never seen him since
her marriage. The court refused to
take action until Chung Yum Yoke
had been restored to the status of a
single person. Miss Cameron said
that she would not let All Guam enter
the mission, as she had been assured
that his moral character was not Of
the best.

NOT LIKE THE
BROWNSVILLE CASE
FORT SKATER SOLDIERS WHO
MADE A ROW SURRENDER AND
CONFESS.

Severe punishment is in store for
two soldiers from Fort Shafter, for
rowdyism on the street cars about a
week ago. 1t seems that the two soi-
diers were going home and insisted on
putting their feet on the seats, and
smoking on the car. The conductor
asked them to stop, but instead of stop
ping they began to use vile and pro-
fame language. When the car neareu
the end of the line, the conductor went
forward to read the register, and on
turning his back was struck by one
of the soldiers.
A Hawaiian passenger on the car
came to the conductors assistance, and
for a while things were doing. The
matter was reported to Major Dunning
and Manager Ballentyne and it was ar
ranged that the whole battalion should
be drawn up and the conductor and
motorman allowed to look for the men
who had caused the trouble. On hear
ing Of such a plan the two culprits
gave themselves up and they may now
be tried by court martial

into a discussion OF the policy pursued
by Mr.. Hartman in obtaining and
maintaining control of the various
lines of railway in the Hartman sys-
TEN and presents a fairly complete
history of their operations. Excerpts
from the verbatim testimony of Mr..
Hartman are given to show, as stat
ed in the report, that it is only the
law which prevents the concentration
in Mr.. Harrimans hands of every rail-
road line lying between Canada and
Mexico
Mr.. Harriman's eventual control OF
many of the competing transcontinent-
al lines was prevented, it is pointed
out by the supreme courts decision in
the Northern Securities case.
Particular stress is laid by the com
mission on the elimination Of compe'
tition in transcontinental business
among the Hartman lines and the
commission indicates that that is the
matter Of large significance developed
in its inquiry.
Special reference is made to the dea
by which Mr.. Hartman secured con-
troll of the San Pedro road and the
manipulation of the Chicago & Alton
Concerning the Chicago & Alton trans,
action, the commission says:
1T was admitted by Mr.. Hartman
that there are about $GO,OOO,OOO of stock
and liabilities issued against which nc
property had been acquired, and this
is undoubtedly an accurate estimate
The commission further says, con.
corning the Alton deal, that 1T is evil
dent that its history is rich in indis-
trations of various methods of indie
feasible financing"
THE effect of the control of the
Southern Pacific by the Union Pacific
has been to unity the management OF
these two roads and steamship lines
and to eliminate competition between
them in transcontinental business and
in business to and from Oriental
ports" says the report
"The joint control Of the Alton rail
way by the Union Pacific and the Chi
cago, Rock Island & Pacific Railway
Company has undoubtedly eliminated
competition between the Alton and the
Rock Island between Chicago, st. LoTfs
and Kansas City.
These are conspicuous illustrations
of the community of interests and
harmony of arrangements which Mr..
Hartman suggested when he demand
ed representation upon the Santa Fe
board.
"If the policy of purchasing and con-
trolling stocks in competing lines is
permitted to continue, it must mean
suppression of competition

FOREIGN LETTERS
ARE SHORT PAID
BRITISH OFFICE CALLS ATTEN-
TION TO THE RATES FOR MAILS
FROM AMERICA.
The Post Office has called special at
tention to the following bulletin:
General

Washington, ID. c., June q, 1907.
The British Office has called atten-
ton to the large number of short-paid
letters received from the United States,
As double the amount of the deficient
postage is required to be collected upon
the delivery of short-paid letters, the
addresses of such letters frequently
refuse to receive them, and the letters
are returned to this country as I'M
deliverable, to the annoyance of postal
officials as well as of the senders of the
letters.
1t is presumed that many cases OF
short-Iayment may be attributed to
the fact that the unit of weight for the
letter-rate of postage in our domestic
mails is an ounce, while in interna-
tional mails it is only half--an-ounce.
The evil would probably be remedied
TO a great extent if the attention of the
public were called to the difference be-
tween the unit of weight in our domes-
tic mails and the unit of weight
in International mains.
Postmasters are requested, therefore
to give as much publicity as possible
to the circumstance that the postage
rate for letters for foreign countries is
five CO.. cents for each half-ounce or
fraction of half-ounce; and that if post
age upon letters is not prepaid in full
at that rate, double the deficiency must

by it will be unlawful for any
