improvements for the Sixteenth
ward, which, he claims, is not receiy.
ing proper attention, is the chief plank
In the platform of John c. Garvey.
Democratic candidate for alderman.
Atty.-Gen. John K. Bird has written
TO Judge Durfee giving an interpreta-
ton OF the law in regard to the initial
ing of ballots. He holds that the pro-
visions or the law are mandatory and
not merely directory. According to
the law, as he views II, every ballot,
to be valid, must be initiated by an In
spector In ink, and the same inspector
must initial all the ballots. This pro-
vision OF the election law has been
neglected in many instances.
The Goeschel club in the Thirteenth
ward has made 4 fine campaign and
its members feel certain OF electing
their candidate for alderman.
The titncss OF Forbes Robertson to
fill the duties Of county auditor has
never been questioned and he has q
titles him to respect. He has made q
quiet and dignifled campaign for cleo.

no promises other than to watch out
for the interests OF the taxpayers.

sultation by the state department In

Election returns will be received by

accused Mayor Thompson of insincer-
ity in his three-cent fare promises and
accused him OF opposing Pingree when
an alderman. Then he stated that
more money is being spent by the
Democratic organization to elect
Thompson than was ever used In d
municipal campaign before.

the directoire or sheath gown has made
its appearance IN Stockton
The strange and venturesome woman
IS described as tall, Of shapely form

comes fully satisfied that her venture
will meet with a proper public recep-

friends.
She has been observed three evenings
walking down San Joaquin street to
Fremont square, which she circles and
then goes in e northerly direction up

That she has the figure for this

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

RENO, New, July 7.-Morrie Z. Pres
ton. socialist labor candidate for presi-
dent of the United States, is felon now
serving a sentence OF 25 years in the
Nevada state prison at Carson for muir
der committed at Goldfeld more than a
year ago. In view of his nomination
Warden Day at the state prison has ar
ranged for Preston to care for his cor
respondence and direct as best he may
some Of his campaign arrangements,
though Preston states he Will not be
able to devote much of his time to the
task The conyict's mother and sister are
now residing at Carson, helping in the
fight to get him new trial.
Preston is native Of Memphis, Tenn.
He located at Goldheld a couple of years
ago. He was selected as an agitator by
the Independent workers of the world
and soon proved himself a leader with
that organization. During March. 1907,
when the disturbances of Goldfeld were
at their height, a meeting of the L W.
Ws. was held in Miners Union hall
there and the case of John Silva, a
member Of the union running restau-
rant in the camp, was taken up.
PRESTON IS CHOSEN
It was alleged Silva was running an
unfair place and was not standing by
his obligations to the union It was
proposed that men be stationed to pa
troll the restaurant, and, If necessary,
force Silva to come to the terms of the
union. When lots were drawn to see to
whom the patrol would fall. Preston
and Smith received the appointment
Smith took the first watch, but, ac-
cording to the evidence introduced at
the trial. Silva refused to leave the rear
Of the restaurant and gave Smith no
chance to talk with him on the matter.
That night, after Preston had relieved
Smith of the watch, Silva went to the
front Of his place Of business and was
Immediately approached by the union
patrol. Words followed, and during the
argument Silva was shot down, sup
posedly by Preston.
Both Preston and Smith were soon
placed in custody. and at the trial they
were defended by the best lawyers the
western federation of miners could Sc
cure. The evidence introduced by the
prosecution went to show that the muir
der was Of an exceptionally cold bIooded
and premeditated kind. and the verdict
OF the jury was guilty
GUILTY OF MURDER
Preston was found guilty of murder
IN the second degree. and Smith of in
voluntary manslaughter. The latter re-
ceived a sentence of 10 years. Through
their attorneys, o. n. Hilton, special at
torney for the western federation Of
miners; Patsy Bowler and T. J. Hangon
OF Cripple Creek, an appeal was made
10 the supreme court for new trial.
This appeal was fought by Attorney
General Stoddard on the ground that IT
was defective and the court was asked
TO dismiss the appeal, which 1t did. at
the same time affirming the lower court
A petition for rehearing has been filed
with the supreme court, but no action

.JOBBFRS.OF STATE
FIGHT OVER RATES
Conference Between Los Ange=
les and San Francisco Ship
pers Will Be Held
Southland Seeks Lower Tariffs
Into San Joaquin to Tap
Fresno Trade

conference affecting the entire job
bing interests Of San Francisco viii
be held this morning between Fred
erick P. Gregson. representing the as
sociated jobbers of Los Angeles, on the
one side, and James A. Keller and ]. W
Chapman, representing the merchants
Of San Francisco, on the other. 1t is the
old fight revived by Los Angeles
against San Francisco for the control
of the trade of the San Joaquin valley.
The Los Angeles jobbers say they
should be given a lower rate into the
valley as far north as Fresno on the
ground Of the shorter distance On the
other hand the San Francisco jObber,
animated by a love for fair play, in
sists that the rate be protected because
of the grades Southern Pacific trains
have to encounter between Los Angeles
and valley points.
This question is to be threshed out
again this morning. as Edward Cham
bers believes a settlement can be
reached at a conference without the dis
pute having 10 be taken before the
state railroad commissioners.
RATES FAVOR NORTH
At present the iobber OF San Fran
cisco trading with Bakersfield in COM
peting with Los Angeles has 10 make an
average of less than carload freight
allowance OF S1.S0 a ton and to Fa-
mosa a freight allowance Of 81 a ton;
while to all points north of FamOsa
rates are in favor Of San Francisco.
This basis Of rates was put into eff
feet some years ago on the strength
Of complaints OF Los Angeles jObbers.
At that time the San Francisco jObber
broke even with the Los Angeles job
ber at the Tehachapi, but after a con-
ference with the traffic and operating
officials of both carriers, rates were re-
adjusted, giving Los Angeles the valley
as far as Bakersfield and Famosa, and
all towns north of that point were de-
Tended from San Francisco and Stock
ton, in the density Of tonnage, move
ment OF larger trains and per ton mile
earnings from San Francisco and Stock
ton. also by heavy grades to overcome
such as Tehachapi.
GRADES ARE HEAVIER
The grade from San Francisco and
Stockton to Bakersfield is four-tenths.
while from Los Angeles to Bakers
field it is two and two-tenths.
The Los Angeles people were satisfied
with the arrangement at that time. but
they have recently formed a traffic as
sociation and placed in charge F. P.
Gregson. formerly a chief clerk IN the
office of the Santa Fe in Los Angeles.
who has again stirred up trouble. and
is trying TO see If he cannot get lower
rates into the San Joaquin valley from
Los Angeles as far as Fresno.
The fight promises to be an interest
ing one. and as the Southern Pacific
has every San Francisco jobber on its
side there is good reason TO believe
that the Los Angeles jobber will not
get the lower rate
