GIVEN ENTRANCE
Belt Line Proposition Withdrawn and
Competing Railways Reach Ami
cable Agreement on
Franchises
BY Associa ted Press.

BY Associated Press.
SACRAMENTO, July 6.-For over a
year past there have been before the
Sacramento trustees three applications
for railroad franchises along the city
water 'front.'; one on behalf of the
Southern Pacific, which with existing
privileges enjoyed by that company,
would have shut all other companies
out for fifty years; another asked for
b ythe Western Pacific to give it en-
trance, and third presented by the
Union Belt Line railway Of Sacra-
mento, a citizens organization, which
aimed to admit all railroad companies,
now and in the future, to the water
front and warehouse district on equal
terms.
Public opinion was unanimously in
favor of the belt line proposition and
the other franchises have been held up
pending the result of negotiations be-
tween the three companies. The Even
ing Bee announces tonight that an
agreement has just been reached un-
der which the citizens organization
will withdraw and the Western Pacific
and Southern Pacific will accept
franchises framed by the local organ
ization and insuring to all incoming
roads equal privileges in switching,
not only along mile of water front
but also along a mile and half OF
warehouse and industrial district on
r street.
The franchises under this arrange
ment will be formally applied for on
next Monday night.

SPOKANE WANTS
ITS MONEY BACK
Declares Railroads Made Exorbitant
Charges In Transporting Steel
for Water Works from
Pittsburg
BY Associated Press.


WASHINGTON, July 6.-Among the
twenty-one petitions filed with the in
terstate commerce commission today
were three from the city of Spokane,
Wash, against the Oregon Railroad &
Navigation company, the Northern Pa
cific railroad and the Great Northern
railway, setting out substantially the
same statement of facts.
In the construction of it's system of
water works the city of Spokane used
an immense amount of steel, which
had to be shipped from Pittsburg to
Spokane. 1t is alleged in the COM
plants that the different roads
charged more for the shipment of the
material from Pittsburg to Spokane
than it would have charged on ship
ments of the same material to Port
land, Ore, although Spokane is 300
miles nearer Pittsburg than is Port
land.
The city demands reparation from
the Oregon Railroad & Navigation
company in the sum of $4319, with $3.50
attorneys fees; from the Northern Pa
cific Railroad company $3701 reparation
and $500 attorneys fees, and from the
Great Northern railway $12,S18 repara-
tion and $1,000 attorneys fees.
The finding of this complaint is a
renewal of the old fight between the
cities of Spokane and Portland, which
recently was heard by the interstate
commerce commission.
Spokane's case has not yet been de.
cided by the commission, and the prob
abilities are that upon the final de-
| termination of that case by the COM
mission the complaints filed today will
| rest.

COMPELLED TO CONFESS
Ry Associated Press.

NEW YORK, July GA cablegran
has been sent to United States Consui
Skinner at Marseilles, France, by In
spector McCafferty of the detective bu-
reau, asking that Paul Sarkasian, who
is under arrest there in connection with
the murder of Father Kaspar Vartrain,
the Armenian priest, be sweated. Nc
Cafferty sent the following message:
Tell Sarkasian he stopped at 161
Antoine street Montreal, with the 9TH
ers. Make him tell all about the muir
der. Tell him 1t will be best for him.
We know more than he thinks.1
Inspector McCafferty Is positive that
Sarkasian fed from New York with
Mooradian and Ermoyan, and he feels
that the suspect under arrest in France
is lying to save himself McCafferty
scouts the theory that Sarkasian fled
through fear of having the crime put
upon him and the detective chief says
there is little doubt that the prisoner
had as much to do with the killing of
the priest as the two others.

After the divorce Haddock and Mrs.
Willetts were married, living in Los
Angeles until his death in 1901. Be-
fore his death Haddock had trans

When Mrs. Cynthia Haddock died,
about a year after her husband, she

just succeeded in having set aside.

THE HAGUE, July 6.-The members

consider it quite natural that the en-
peror of Korea should have repudiated
them in his interview with the MARQUIS
Ito, the representative of japan at

ject of their mission, adding:
ITO have instructed us to represent

had made a. similar inquiry of the
Korean emperor, the answer would have
to be different.
To keep order and assure the main
tenance of peace in the far east. the
