This is the last opportunity

The resolutions committee. which is
the most important subordinate BODY

That protests of the residents of

the Offices of the United Railroads
with plain intimation to help the

mand for the lower Market street

Kate H. Dewey, its vice president.
In behalf of the club these officers
paid visit to the company's offices in
Broderick street yesterday, their re-
quest of General Manager Black for
better service being met, they stated,
with the following responses:
We can't do anything more for you

things are now, but I'll tell you what
you had better do. Get behind us in

An exposition of the railroads point
of view and an attack upon the Stand
ard oil company constituted the main
features of the second days session
of the Trans Mississippi commercial
congress. ]. c. Stubs, traffic director
of the Hartman lines, spoke for his
chief and stated that vast improve
ments and new construction with
which to handle the business of the
country awaited only complete res
toration of financial confidence.
The attack on the oil trust came
from James L. Callbreath Jr. of Den
yer, secretary of the American mining
congress. He stated that through its
ownership of the smelter trust the
Standard oil company had practical
control of the mineral output OF the
country and retained by fraud a large
percentage of the ore it took for treat
ment. He called upon the government
to take action in the matter.
The conservation of the natural re-
sources of the nation formed the chief
topic of discussion. Former Governor
Pardee of California and Governor
Cutler of Utah, in vigorous addresses,
upheld the position taken by President
Roosevelt and Clifford Pinchot. At
torney General Dickson of Colorado
differed in some particulars from the
president, while Frank A. Short of
Fresno the representative of the Hum
tington power interests, took the view
that the z,eople, having dealt wisely
with the natural resources III the past.
could be trusted TO do SO in the fu-
ture without an abundance of federal
control.
An uncomplimentary reference TO
some of Bryan's pet political views
brought the congress to the verge of a
political discussion, but the speakers
steered successfully away from the
shoals to the open sea.
FLEMING FIRST SPEAKER
Vice President Ike T. Pryor nre-
sided when the meeting was called to
order yesterday morning. The first
business was the submission of reso-
lutions from the various state dole
cations.
Colonel Fred w. Fleming. a .bankar
Of Kansas City, Mo-. was the flrst
speaker. Colonel Fleming pointed ont
that western life insurance con,nanies
transact Only IL per cent Of the west
ern business, while eastern comno y,;as
secure SO per cent of the premiums
He contended that it was necessary for
the commercial welfare of the wast
that the insurance business be locaIizsd
and that the legal reserve of the corr
panies be invested in the west to helm
upbuild there.

BY a decision rendered
yesterday by Judge e. S.
Harrington in the United
States circuit court the
Spring Valley water COM
pany was granted a tempor-
ary injunction against the
new schedule of rates, but at
the same time the sum of SIS
100000 was cut from the cor
poration's valuation of the plant.
Judge harrington fixed the value
at S27,553,512, but ordered that
pending the final adjudication OF
the case the company should be
allowed to collect rates Is per
cent in excess of those estab-
lished by the board of supervisors
last June.
1t was further decreed that the
amount collected in excess of the
schedule adopted by the supervisors
should be deposited with some bank
to be determined upon by the city
and the corporation In case the In
junction is subsequently, dissolved this
money must be returned TO the con-
s,,r,ar~ The oornaDv bas at.o -
ordered to file within the next 10
days bond OF 100000 to safeguard
the interests OF the consumers.
The decision is regarded as big
victory for the city in that it places
the value Of the plant close to the esti-
mates of the engineers OF the munich
pality. In the words of Mayor Taylor,
..the opinion may be considered stag
gering blow at the fanciful pretensions
as to the value OF the Spring Valley
company" City Attorney Percy v.
Long and members of the board OF
supervisors also regard the Judgment
decidedly to the advantage OF the city
in that 1t fixes as basis for future
negotiations valuation in keeping
with the estimates OF the representa-
tives. of the municipal government.
Judge harrington arrived al his valu-
alton by taking the estimate Of $26.752.-
500 made by Judge Morrow in 1908 and
adding thereto the valuation made by
the city engineer of the improvements
since that date AS a verification of
this estimate Judge Harrington takes
the par value of the stocks and bonds
and deducts therefrom the value OF the
property not now in use. arriving by
this means at practically the same fg-
ure.
CORPORATION CULPABLE
The opinion knocks out completely
the contention OF the corporation that
the city should reimburse it for the
$500. 900 loss which it has alleged IL
sustained in the disaster OF April, 1906.
Not only does Judge Harrington deny
the company this sum. but he intimates
very strongly that the corporation was
culpable in not removing its pipes from
the marshy ground in accordance with
the recommendations made previously
by its own engineer. 1t has been the
contention OF various engineers that
this negligence on the part of the COM
pany was to large extent responsibles /

GAMBIA. Island OF Crete. Oct
"A decree announcing the union
Of Crete with Greece was published
here this evening. Events leading up
to the climax followed each other
throughout the day with dramatic
rspidity. The town was bedecked and
early in the morning people began
hooking in from all directions. There
was much firing of guns and revolvers,
with plenty OF cheering, but perfect
order prevailed. Mussulmans mingled
with Austrians freely and unmoIested.
At o'clock in the afternoon the
demonstration in favor Of the union
with Greece occurred on the military
review grounds. More than 1000
people, one Of the largest crowds ever
seen here. gathered at this place. All
the prominent revolutionary leaders,
each with his banner flying, appeared
and they were supported by the heads
Of the different political parties, the
mayors Of the towns. the clergy and
other infuentisls in the councils of the
island.
PEACEFUL REVOLUTION
Speeches were made by various rep
resentatives. who declared that the
peaceful political revolution which they
had assembled to consummate was not
directed against the powers, which had
been the islands benefactors, but solely
IT proclaiming the islands union with
The motherland. They called upon the
government to act hencefOrth in the
name Of the free kingdom OF Greece.
They urged the people as a duty TO go
respectfully and announce their deci-
sion to the representatives Of the pow
ers. then they must call together an
assembly to confirm the peoples de-
cision by an official vote.
Ten thousond men thereupon
marched. singing and shouting, to the
various consulstes, leaving at each Of
them a written copy Of the resolutions
adopted. They then sUrged TO the gov
ernors palace and lowered the flag of
Crete, raising the Greek flag in It's
place. The flags on all the public
buildings were similarly replaced by
the flag Of Greece. with incessant
and wild cheering for the union the
great procession made its way to the
fortress. where Greek flag also was
sent up to the top of hagpole but
Lllt LititM Atyypo l-lclclcQ upon the
lowering Of it ana unfurled the flag Of
crete and those OF the four protesting
powers.
ANGERED BY RESISTANCE
This angered the populace and for a
time there was danger of disturbances,
but the leaders finally succeeded in
restoring quiet.
A special issue Of the government
journal was distributed at o'clock
this evening. containing the decree
signed by FIVE councillors. who an
nounced their compliance with the peo-
Piles decision and directed all public
officials henceforth TO conduct the busi-
ness Of the country in the name OF the
Hellenic government.
Thousands Of people from outlying
districts, most Of them armed. are still
pouring into the town. filling the
streets and cheering the union. The
government is taking special precau-
tions to preserve order. and all the pub
liz buildings are strongly guarded.
