RAIN DELAYS WORK
ON COAST LINE

superintendent W. S. Palmer of the
Southern Pacific wired the general of
flee from San Luis Obispo yesterday
that the situation on the coast line was
bad and that the continued heavy
rains were retarding the repair work
1t is impossible to say when the coast
line will be open again for traffic.
The greatest trouble seems to be
between Surf and Santa Barbara. The
two inches OF rain that fell between
Gaviota and Conception on Thursday
night did considerable damage, the
earth being already loosened. The
railroad company has 800 men at
work between Surf and Santa Bar
bara and everything possible is being
done to get the track in shape for
trains. A south-bound train is being
held at Soledad and there is no telling
when il will continue its journey.
The Monterey brancn was not so
badly injured as was at first thought.
and the hope is expressed that 1t will
be in good condition within a few
days.
Several work trains and gangs are
carefully watching the track between
Pajaro and Gilroy and repairing dam
age.

says that the heavy rains to the south

MARTINEZ, March LIT was
learned today that the Southern Pa

abandonment of it's lines from Benicia
to Suisun for the operation OF through
trains owing to the unsuccessful ef-
forts of the engineers to repair the
sinks at spri and Teal eight miles

The plan proposed is to have the

the East run by way Of the Sacra-
mento Southern cutoff and by way
of Cordelia and Vallejo The tracks
between the two latter &ties are be-
ing ballasted with heavy rock, and
force Of men is engaged in widening
the Cordelia tunnel
Surveyors are establishing lines
for the contemplated cuton between
Crockett and RodeO, on the Contra

steamer Solano, now plying between
Benicia and Port Costa, will be taken
OF her run and transferred TO the

plan to give shorter and more d.

been made because OF the numerous
landslides which have occurred near
Vallejo Junction in the last two.

SUBSIDIES ARE DENIED
!:
PACIFIC OCEAN LINES
Bill Passed by the House
After Greatest Fight
of Years
THREE-HOUR BATTLE
Fifty-Two Republicans Vote
With Democrats on
First Ballot

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE House
indulged in the luxury of bear batting
and bull-fghting touay over the ship
subsidy bill. As a committee of the
whole it. knocked out one subsidized
line after another, beginning with the
proposed lines to the Orient. Then,
with the bill reduced to a skeleton, the
committee turned IL over to the House,
where it was killed and then resusci-
tated and passed. Disorder was con-
tinuous, both in committee of the whole
and In the House. There were COM
plants of broken pairs and other vio-
lations of good faith and the rules of
the House
The bill as passed provides for subsi-
dies only to Vines running to South
America from the Atlantic, Pacific and
gulf coasts. All Pacific Coast lines to
the Orient and Australia were knocked
out. This havoc was wrought by Re-
publicans of the Middle West, acting
in union with Democrats. Some of the
Middle West Republicans had solemnly
promised the Pacific Coast members
that they would support the Pacific
lines. Promises had also been made by
many Democrats to give the Oriental
lines square deal.
But all except Bankhead of Alabama
went back on their promises. Bank
head simply RETAINED from voting.
Mann DOT6 the DIuHt VI tire t4SH ASA
the Oceanic line and went down with
colors flying. The Californians had an
nounced that If the Pacific Coast lines
were stricken from the bill they would
oppose the measure, but they changed
their minds today and voted for the
emasculated remains in the forloTn
hope that the Australian line might be
restored in conference. They are not
very confident, and seem TO think that
the bill will fall altogether. Others be-
lieve that the Senate conferees will
accept the House amendments in order
to secure the establishment OF the sub
sidy principle.
Some Senators think that with this
bill as an entering wedge progress may
be made hereafter toward securing sub
sides for Oriental and Australian lines.
The only provision left in the bill af-
fecting the Pacific Coast is the pro-
posed line to South America. The Cali
fornians declare that this is a barme-
eide feast There is little or no return
cargo 10 be obtained. The subsidy is
$4,000 less than the Atlantic Coast
subsidy, and would not support sixteen
knot vessels. 1t is safe to say that no
line will run from San Francisco to
South America under such conditions
Consequently the Pacific Coast gets
nothing whatever from the House bill.
Late tonight the Californians agreed
that the prospects of securing anything
in conference were very slim. If the
House eopferees should agree to insert
the Australian item another scrimmage
would result in the expiring hours of
Congress and the bill would probably
be defeated.
