. ONE CASE ENOUGH


Durbrow started a line of questioning
indicating that he wished to establish
by the witness that his was the only
tura or interested in this suit, when he
was interrupted again by Lane.
Suppose that he is the only one who
has the temerity to go into the whole
sale business. 1t does not prove that
there would not be fifty Others" said
the commissioner.
But we are not dealing with possi-
bilities," exclaimed Durbrow.
Yes, sir; you are dealing with the
possibilities of the community" said
Commissioner Lane. Even If this gem
tleman is the one and only jobber in
Ventura and Santa Barbara, that is suf-
icient upon which to base this COM
plant"
w. L. Hunt, ]. F. Diehl, T. M George,
G. II. Fink and r. r. Pierce all testified
that the differential rates from San
Francisco and Los Angeles placed them
at disadvantage and as they were
compelled to sell merchandise at the
same prices as terminal points their
profits suffered in consequence The de-
fense introduced but one witness, M. F.
Flint, secretary of the Pacific Coast
Steamship Company in this city.
When Commissioners Lane closed the
investigation he stated 1t was adjourned
to meet in Ventura tomorrow at /
o'clock and that Santa Barbara would
be privileged to introduce as many more
witnesses as desired. He stated that the
Santa Barbara and Ventura cases were
Identical and would be so considered
and acted on by the commission.

HISTORY OF LITIGATION

The history Of the tide land dispute
reads like romance. 1t began in 1852.
when Carpenter had the town of Oak
land incorporated, apparently without
the knowledge or consent of any one.
and inserted IN the charter a rider
which made It possible for him in the
following month TO acquire the entire
water front for "a schoolhouse and a
wharf" He built them both, and they
were duly and formally accepted by the
town in 1853.
The schoolhouse was a one-story
wooden affair. some twenty feet square,
and 1t is still standing. The foAowing z
year Oakland Incorporated as a city
and forthwith Instituted a suit in
equity 20 set aside the grant TO Carpen-
tier on the ground that It had been
acquired by fraud. From that day to
this this suit and its successors have
been dragged up and down the courts
OF the State with Oakland usually at
the losing end. Carpenter passed his
holdings along TO the Water Front
Company and that company turned
them over TO the railroad.
OAKLAND TOOK LOSING END
In 1861 the Legislature passed rati-
fication act entitled IAN act to enable
the city Of Oakland 10 settle its dis
putesr The, result was that the Gen.
tral Pacific did most OF the settling and
Oakland remained at the losing end.

HERRIN WILL NOT TALK


While the Southern Pacific Com
panys corps of legal advisers is not
appearing in the open in defense of
the corporations position in the mat
ter Of the decision of the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals, there is no
doubt that a tremendous effort will be
made to Offset the effects of the ruling.
Attorney Peter F. Dunno, who has
been in charge of the proceedings
against the Western Pacific Railroad
is in Southern California, but he will
return to this city as soon as possible
The Southern Pacific will contend
that the decision merely brings the
case back to the original suit against
the Western Pacific; that the findings
were passed merely upon the points
involving a restraining order, and
while perhaps sweeping in fact, do not
apply to the original case, which must
and will be tried on it's merits.
w. ]. Herrin, counsel for the South
ern Pacific, did not care to go into
the details of the decision or to COM
ment upon its probable effect on South
ern Pacific holdings. Herrin has not
been handling this particular case for
the corporation and has appeared in
ii only In an advisory capacity.
The Southern Pacific does not think
that its holdings on the water front of
Oakland will be undermined by the
decision, although II is plain to be
seen that IT has not much hope of
preventing entry of the Western Pa
cific TO the terminal ground it has
chosen 1t will make legal battle to
secure better title to such water front
properties as it has expected would

OAKLAND MAYOR TO ACT
Mayor Mott, realizing the possibili-
ties for the city of Oakland which
arise from this decision, said last
night:
My deep interest In the water front situation
as Affecting the material welfare of Oakland will
lead me to take active steps as soon as possible
to determine exactly and definitely what the city
gains under this important action. Public policy
demands that the city should control this mag
nificent harbor frontage. For myself, 1 feel that
the city should safeguard its rights, and while
generous TO all railroads other interests which
might desire to enjoy privileges, the city should
be the first consideration.
In short control of the water frontage should
be In the city. This is Of prime and greatest i'm
portance If this decision means that Oakland
shall control the harbor facilities the gain is 80
great that l doubt II more important action
could be taken by courts.
This situation is of such Importance that
shall call together the city's special counsel IN
the water front litigation tomorrow for confer
ence. / desire written opinion from them as to
the effect of the decision on the city's interests
and what is the proper step for me, as Mayor, to
take at this time 1t seems though the court
had opened vista Of light through the long and
apparently interminable litigation on our water
front contentious.

CASE Is ESTABLISHED

SANTA BARBARA, Feb. 5.-When IN
terstate Commissioner Lane called the
case of Santa Barbara against the
Southern Pacific and other railroads to-
day, w. H. Barned of Ventura made the
opening statement. He said that
briefly summarized, Santa Barbara
claimed that undue discrimination was
practiced.
B. H Smith testified that his occupa-
tion was clerk for the Stearns Wharf
Company. The amount of incoming
tonnage carried over the wharf yearly.
he said, was S297 tons; outgoing, 2500.
The boats calling were regular coast
steamers. Vessels could land their
freight every day, with the exception
of perhaps ten or twelve days in the
year.
W. H. Weldon, the next witness testi-
fed that he was secretary of the
Channel Commission Company. Asked
to explain the discrimination COM
planned of, he said the consumer was
injured by the additional freight in the
price he had to pay for his goods, and
the merchants were injured in that
had to pay on their goods was not
such as to justify the increase, they
had to take smaller profits than enjoyed
at similar points where terminal rates
were enjoyed. Weldon read a long list
of commodities affected by the local
rate. He gave also specific cases by
way of Illustration
AT this point Commissioner Lane
said: The commission will assume
that if Santa Barbara had a terminal
rate Santa Barbara could do tobbing
business. That, 1 understand, is your
point"
