"Howdy, honey" Uncle Billy said to
Stella that evening as he came in and
took his supper-seat at the table.
where Sally B. proudly included him
in her elastic family circle. "Are you
ready fo' the race?"
"Oh, Uncle Billy, are we really go.

weeks of talk and preparation we're just
to beat our previous time schedule"
"Yes, Ireckoned 1t would go at that;
still, Mr.. Crocker's words the law"
But why didn't he give you more
warning? You haven't even a day to

"Our folks have biggeh pots aboil-

got so tired of those blamed Placer

that he's relyin' on us to shut their
mouths. And we've got to do it, If we
amt ready. It's my trip"
"The race is on" Alvin shouted, as
he pegged in with a message for Sal
ly B.
Exclamations in concert were shot
at Alvin from several tables.
Eyes, the steamer Chrysopolis left
the San Francisco wharf at four

Il hope she'll keep up her gait plumb

the first break in the hubbub.

Aren't you going to rest?" she
asked. There are plenty others to

He crossed his warm, strong hand
over hers with fond pressure. It was
sweet to have her womanly solicitude
to feel her near him, her soft hand
pulsing under his own. "Afteh the

Miss Hamilton was being lifted in a
chair to the platform of the rear car.
Stella adroitly avoided Alfred's at.

no rancor In her serene face, her
cheerful speech. She met his look
squarely. And he approved of the
fine dignity with which she received
Miss Hamilton's extravagant compli.

SHIPPERS CHARGE
DISCRIMINATION
Traffic Association OF California
Presents Case Against
Southern Pacific.
CLAIM LOADING TAX UNFAIR
Complaint Made % Interstate Conn
mercc Commission That 20 Gents
The Ton Is Added TO Rates.

a charge of unfair discrimination
against the southern Pacific has been
lodged with the Interstate commerce
commission in San Francisco. by the
California State Traffic association, ac-
cording to advlces from the California
capital, The complaint was filed Tues
day by G. j. Bradley, manager OF the
association. who has been collecting
evidence against the road for some
months. The association charges that
the Hartman line has been imposing
a loading and unloading charge of 20
cents a ton on certain articles, while
not levylng the extra tariff on other
products. The commission is asked TO
declare the tax unfair, and to order
its discontinuance A second complaint
Is also being prepared in which it win
be alleged that the company has not
been conforming to its agreement in
fruit shipments.
NETS BIG MONEY.
The loading charge is destined to be-
come the center of as great contro-
versy as is now being waEed over the
switching fee. The loading tax, 1t Is
said, amounts In tn, aggregate to more
than 100000 a year In the city of san
Francisco. The traffic association
claims that this excess is not imposed
on shipments In the east, but that
the Southern Pacific has directed it
particularly against the merchants of
the Pacific coast Under the rules of
the railroad the charge of 20 cents a
ton is levied In addition to the regular
freight tariff. The company claims
that the regular tariff covers merely
the haul, and that it is justified in
collecting for loading and unloading.
When a merchant loads his cars on
his own industrial track he is, of
course, exempt from this charge. but
whe he loads on the company's tracks
or from the corporations sheds he is
subjected to the 20-cent fee. Shippers
claim that they are denied the privilege
of unloading or loading their own cars
on the railroads tracks and are thus
forced to pay the fee in order to get
their goods or to send them out.
CERTAIN ARTICLES EXEMPT.
Certain articles ara said to he ex-
empt from this rule. Canned salmon,
which is handled almost exclusively by
the Alaska Packers association, It Is
alleged, is loaded and unloaded without
extra cost while canned fruit is sub
jected to the 20-cent tariff. This is n
phase of the transportation business
which affects nearly every shipper on
the coast, and the outcome viii be
watched with deep interest.

FATAL SHOOTING
N|PPED At START
Candy BiII's" Saloon the Scene
OF Another Disturbance
Early This Morning.
NEGRO DOPE FIEND SOUGHT
John Wheeler Tries To- Kill John
Howell But L. stopped by
Friends and Escapes.

A fatal shooting ARRAY was narrow
~ averted between ? and o'clock
this morning at Candy Bits saloon
at 33 Commercial street, when hop
head" negro, John Wheeler, tried to
shoot John Howell. also n colored
man. The murderous designs of
Wheeler were frustrated by John Tay
lor and Tommy Oakley, particularly
the latter. II was, in effect, battle
of the three Johns.
AT the time stated, number of
colored men were in Candy Bits,
saloon and Taylor was playing the
piano. Howell asked Taylor to play
particular piece OF music of which
he was very fond The man started to
play, when Wheeler full of dope
entered and proceeded to make him
self generally obnoxious. He leaned
his weight upon the shoulders of the
plano player and when Howell quiet
~ asked him to desist, Wheeler be
came cnraged and poured forth n
torrent of the vlest kind of abuse, at
the same time unbuttoning his vest.
He reached for big revolver but
just as he drew 1t, Howell, who had
been watching the fellow carefully,
landed a blow on Wheeler's jaw,
knocking him backward Just as the
blow was struck. Wheeler got the wea-
pom out but before he could bring 1t to
DGttI upon EtONtll idhltg anu oS i'A
made a grab for the gun Oakley got
there first and held onto the weapon
like grim death. The revolver was
discharged twice, but the bullets bur
led themselves in the floor. The gun
was wrested from the hands of the
murderous negro, and he managed TO
make his escape from the place. The
police know the fellow and are trying
to locate and arrest him.
CHEM TARcE Grown
The affair was witnessed by quite
number of colored people, and they
all stated this morning that the gun
play was entirely uncalled for. They
say that Wheeler was mad from
drink and dope" and when he enter
ed the place. was looking for trouble
He picked upon Howell apparently be-
cause the latter was perfectly quiet
and did not care to become involved
in any mix-up. When he started to
pun the gun. Howell promptly land
ed a right hook on the fellow. but
the blow was not of sufficient force
to put the negro down and out. Had
not Oakley got hold of the weapon,
Howell, in all probability, would nave
been killed or badly wounded.
Those who We're eye witnesses 10
the affair state positively that Wheeler
was entirely to blame, and that ne
abused everybody in the place and
particularly Howell, using vile Ian
guage and threatening to clean out the
place.
Candy Bill" summoned the police
but before they got there, Wheeler had
made his escape. leaving the gun In
the possession tof Oakley. The latter
gave the weapon to the proprietor of
the place. The police know wheeler
and are trying to locate him. When
arrested. he will be charged with as
