That Taft will be nominated for
president on the first ballot taken by
the republican national convention at
Chicago in June is the claim made by
Frank II. Hitchcock. in charge of the
Washington Taft headquarters. The
positive Taft strength is placed at 552
votes out of total of $50 in the con-
vention, 49I votes being required to
nominate. The figures compiled by
Mr.. Hitchcock are based on reports
from every congressional district in
the United States. Furthermore, the
figures are declared to be ultra-con
servative. Persons who have been
keeping close watch upon the succeed
ing developments since state and
district and county committees began
to meet and pass resolutions, and
since state and district conventions
began to elect delegates to Chicago,
agree with Mr.. Hitchcock in this

SOUTHERN PACIFIC
ARGUES ON REBATE
Railroad Company Answers In
dictments in United States
District Court
Hartman Line Charged With
Favoring Box Concern and
Miller & Lux

Arguments on the demurrers inter
posed by the Southern Pacific COM
pany against the indictments for pay
ing rebates to Miller & Lux and the
California pine box and lumber COM
pany, in violation of the Interstate
commerce act, We're argued and sub
mitted yesterday morning before Judge
Van Fleet in the United States district
court. The railroad was represented
by Attorney Peter F. Dunno, while AS
sistant United States Attorney George
Clark appeared for the government
In the first account the Southern Pa
cific was charged in the Indictment
with rebating the California pine box
and lumber company from Loyalton,
cal, to Verdi, New. there being a short
line connecting these two points, Verdi
being on the main line of the Southern
Pacific. 1t was the contention of Attor-
ney Dunno that the indictment failed
to charge that the same rebates were
not paid on other shipments on the
same haul of the Southern Pacific COM
pany. II was the contention of Dunno
in arguing from this point that the
government had failed to show in the
indictment any discrimination on the
part of the railroad.
In answer to this argument Assist
ant United States Attorney Clark held
that the railroad had departed from
the lawful rate between Loyalton and
other points and which was fixed by
the Southern Pacific company when 1t
submitted and filed the companys rates
with the interstate commerce commits
sion. He further held that as to the
discrimination, it was not material
fact in the case at hand, that the law
had been violated whether a rebate
had been granted to one shipper or
I. 2ffA oil
lumber traffic over the line.
In the case of Miller & Lux. the
Southern Pacific is charged with re-
batting on shipments of wool from
Stockton in this state to Boston. Be-
cause the wool was shipped part of
the way by steamer, from the Gulf of
Mexico to Boston, Dunno contended
that the rebate had not been given on
the land haul and as the steamer In
carrying the commodity north re-
manned outside of the three mile limit
of the coast. the government had lost
control by its passing outside the pro-
of the statute.
Clark argued that the ocean haul
was a part of the entire haul. The
statute, according to Clark, referring
to shipments from one state into an
other had covered the contention of
Dunno, and the case at hand comes
within purview of the act no matter
what the route may. be.
Against the same indictment Dunno
also raised the point that it was not
a violation of the statute for the rail-
road to pay, as it did pay to Miller &
Lux in this case, the expense of the
initial haul to Stockton, at which point
the shipment was assembled to go
overland. He contended that the in
terstate commerce act had no appHca-
tion to local traffic and that the wool
had been brought into Stockton by
boats and other means and that it was
the cost of this first assemblying haul
that had been returned to the ship
pers.
If the shipment by local traffic, Clark
argued, entered into the interstate haul

SAN RAFAEL, Oct. 31.-A suit for
$500 damages has been brought In the
superior court of Marin county by T. c..
Tognazzini. vice president Of the
Swiss-American bank Of San Francisco.
against Isaac Freeman, secretary of
the Inverness land and water company,
the machine of Freeman collided with
it about two months ago. The acci-
dent, which happened on Whites hill,
nearly cost the life of Mrs. Freeman
when her husband lost control of his
car and it dashed down the mountain
until Tognazzinis automobile was
struck. Mrs. Freeman was thrown in
the air and only a clump of bushes
saved her from being killed.
At the time of the accident Tognaz-
Zini disappeared before his name could
be ascertained, and Mrs. Freeman was
carried badly injured and unconscious
to the White House tavern. where
medical treatment was given her.
in any way. it came within the purview
of the act. He held that the govern
ment is sustained as to the Miller &
Lux repayment by a decision Of Judge
Welborn in the southern circuit court
in the Penn fruit company case. where
the Santa Fe paid to the shipper the
local rate into Riverside when the car
go was assembled.
The case was submitted at noon.
