MAYOR OPPOSES

Thinks City Should Get Revenue and
Issue Licenses Where Subter-

Done

Tunnels under the streets are per-
picking Mayor Harper, who thinks the
city should issue permits for them in
all eases where applications are made
on satisfactory terms, including some
revenue for the treasury.
Chief Kern reported to the mayor
yesterday that a passageway was be-
ing dug under Spring street, between
the Hotel Alexandria building and the
new structure on the opposite corner
in order to connect the engine rooms.
The mayor investigated and found
that there was no law regarding the
subject. He fears that an indiscrimi-
nate use of the streets may result If a
protective measure is not passed.

Immediately After Sixteenth Street Is

Is the scheme to widen Sixteenth
street a plot to throw the cost on the
property owners and the benefits into
the lap of the Hartman interests.
This question, oft repeated, has re-
suited in the filing of petitions of pro-
test by property owners along that
street.
1t has developed that the right of
way on that street used by the trolley
company by rails now of narrow gauge
will be standardized at once, and thus
cut off additional space from that to
be granted through the widening of
Sixteenth street from sixty to seventy
five feet.
The principal petition of protest filed
yesterday was signed by the Concordia
Club association. About sixty owners
of property between Figueroa street
and Pacific avenue were also heard
from in another protest.
The assessment district for the work
was created last November. The or

INDICTED UNDER
THE ELK|Ns LAW
GIVING. AND ACCEPTING RE-
BATES THE CHARGES
Federal Grand Jury Report Involves
Santa Fe, Lime and Cement Con-
cern and Several individuals
In Rebate Scheme

For alleged offenses against the Ell
kins act the Santa Fe railroad, the
Grand Canyon Lime and Cement COM
pany and a number of individuals
whose names are withheld yesterday
were indicted by the federal grand
jury.
Giving and accepting rebates on
lime and cement shipments from Nell
son, Ariz.. the headquarters of the
lime and cement concern, are the
charges contained in the indictments
Two indictments were returned
against the railroad and the same
number against the lime and cement
company.
In the two indictments against the
Santa Fe there are seventy-siX specific
offenses alleged, while twenty three
seperate counts are preferred against
the private concern.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-01-10
Accepting Rebates Charged

Six of the counts against the cement
corporation are charges OF accepting
and receiving rebates from the Santa
Fe on cement shipments. In the sec
ond indictment against the Grand
Canyon company there are seventeen
counts, charging seventeen separate
offenses by alleged acceptances of con-
cessions from the Santa Fe in the mat
ter of freight rates on cement ship
ments from Nelson to Southern Cali
fornia.
Under the Elllins act, which became
a law in 1903, the distinction between
rebates and concessions is that re-
bate is money refunded to shippers
after the whole amount of the regular
tariff has been paid in, while con-
cesson is a reduction granted in ad-
vance of the payment of the freight.
In the instances on which the indict-
ments are based the grand jury found
that the Santa Fe had granted specific
concessions to the Grand Canyon Lime
and Cement company in that 1t had
accepted shipments of less than car
load lots at the fixed carload rate.
Under the law the railroad is required
to adhere to the fractional rates when
the shipments amount to less than
carload. In the siXty-siX counts of the
first indictment it is charged that this
Santa Fe and accepted by its shippers.
The seventy-siX counts against the
Santa Fe are not balanced by the
twenty-three counts against the Grand
Canyon company. The remainder of
the report of the grand jury is kept
in the strictest secrecy by the district
attorney. the United States marshal
the clerk of the federal court, and all
the court officials. 1t is plain, how
ever that in addition to the twenty
three indictments against the cement
corporation there is room for fifty
three othet indictments against indi-
viduals and other shippers of cement
to whom the freight loaded by the
Grand Canyon corporation was con-
signed. 1t is reasonabl to expect,
therefore, that the proceedings of the
federal officers within the next few
days will develop the fact that num-
ber of other indictments We're returned.
Numerous buyers of lime and cement
in Los Angeles and surrounding points
are among the consignees of the ship
ments which form the basis of the in
dictments against the Santa Fe and
the Grand Canyon company. In most
cases, however, these consignees We're
used by the United States attorneys as
witnesses against the corporations, and
are thereby rendered immune from
prosecution.

Fines May Come High

The penalty for violations of the
Elkins act is fixed at a fine of not less
than $1,000 and not more than $4,000 for
each offense If United states District
Attorney Oscar Lawler should prose-
cute successfully each of the seventy
six counts against the railway COM
pany the fines imposed might amount
to as much as $1,52O,000. or as little as
$4,000
Should tn same success attend the
prosecution of the Grand Canyon Lime
and Cement company, that corporation
would be subject to fines aggregating
between $4,000 and $460,000.
John S. Schirm, president of the ce-
ment corporation, is made co-defend-
ant in the indictments against that
company, which has it's main place of
business at Nelson, Ariz., and MAIN
tains an Office in Los Angeles.
The indictments against the Santa
Fe charge that the railroad company
in sixty-siX instances granted unlaw !
full concessions on freight rates on ship
ments of cement from Nelson, Ariz.,
to points in Southern California That
is the ground covered in the first in
dictment. In the second the Santa Fe
is charged with ten separate offenses
in that it granted rebates on shipments
of lime from Nelson to points in South
ern California.
