ROMANCE AND SONG
IN REBATE HEARING
Attorney Peter F. Dunno Out
does Man Who Dramatized
the Dictionary
David and Goliath, Don Quixote
and 0theIIo Caper Through
Argument of Lawyer

II has remained for Peter F. Dunno.
the versatile attorney for the South
ern Pacific. to outdo the man who
dramatized the dictionary. He has
Iugged romance into a rebate hearing.
Between the dry recital OF rates on
sand and the presentation of parched
decisions OF the higher courts, he con-
jured Up the spirits OF David and Co
Hath. Don Quixote and Othello. Il
was the first time that any of the char
acters had been introduced in a rail-
road investigation, but Dunno was
fighting desperate battle and he
summoned 10 his assistance the strong
men OF history and fable.
The seance occurred yesterday in the
rooms OF the railroad commission.
Dunno had risen 10 combat the argu-
ments of the state. He was not con-
tent that his company should not be
fined He was as jealous OF its good
name as he was solicitous for its pock-
etbook- 1t should receive not even as
much as a vote OF censure, and II II
had erred, why. gentlemen, it was not
that il loved the shipper less, but that
Il loved California more.
David and Goliath appeared during
the morning session. As he warmed 10
his subject, Dunno declared:
They said they would show that we
had Disseminated against the small
shipper TO the advantage of the big
shippers. Who were these big shippers!
The California fruit Gamers associa-
tion, the California pine box company
and the California wine association
these were the three gladiators brought
into the arena TO be slain by the attor-
ney general. even as little David slew
Goliath with a stone from his sling"
Dunno then proceeded 10 show that
the Industrial giadiators were still very
much alive. If these firms had been
Unjustly favored, which Dunno said was
not the case, he inferred that il was to
help the fruit, wine and lumber in
dustries Of the state.

Dunno occupied the entire day in
argument He took up the contention
OF the attorney generals office that
the company could be prosecuted un-
der the act of 1878 and contended that
the constitutional provisions on rail-
statute in question. He referred to ii
as "a substitutionaI measure and
quoted decisions to support his view.
The Southern Pacific attorney, how
ever. addressed himself TO the issue
and declared that even under the act
10 prosecution He argued that there
had been no unjust" discrimination
and that there had been no "willfuF
attempt 70 injure shippers. Dunno
also quoted from the statute showing
that it provided for identical rates
only for equal amounts" OF cargo.
ARGUES DISCRIMINATION
Taking up the question of discrimi-
for the wholesale and retail idea in
railroading as in other commercial
enterprises. On this point several
rulings and decisions were laid before
the commission.
Although he did not take UP the
question directly, Dunno disputed the
contention of the attorney general that
tions Justifying a difference in rates
related solely TO the carrier and not
TO the shipper.
Dunno then announced that the
Southern Pacific had maintained but
112 special rates. Nine-tenths of
these, he said, were lawful. He ad-
mitted that the other tenth might
be called determinations by the inter
state commerce commission, but he
declared that there had been no vio-
lation OF California statutes He took
up the various rates which Assistant
Attorney General Benjamin had con-
-demned and sought 10 justify them.
With unconscious humor he remarked
that General Freight Agent Luce had
explained them all "as never before
explained in this country" In his
arguments Dunno elaborated on these
explanations OF Luce. suppIementing
them with quotations from court de-
cisions.
The Southern Pacific lawyer will
close this morning, and then Attorney
General Webb will close for the
people.

Mr.. McCumber, after few brief in
troductory remarks read several let

them and the markets OF this country.
Most Of these letters stated that the

purchase much more American grain
If there was a federal inspection, as
under the present conditions they are
not certain what kind of grain they
are getting and have under the pres

This Is not ALL said the senator.

impossible for them to sell their grain
for export and when they do the pres

New York, Oct. 27-The defense in
the case OF Charles w. Morse. financier
and A. H. Curtis, former president of
the National Bank. of North America,
who are on trial in the United States
court here, scored several telling
points today. The presentation Of evil
dence by the prosecution had been
concluded before the adjournment of
court yesterday and the, defense be-
fore opening its case had, made mo-
tions to have ouashed the indictments
against their clients. These motions
were denied, but after hearing the ar
guments on the motions to strike out
certain specific portions OF the indict-
ments, Judge Hough ruled in favor
of the defense.
Two Could Act in Concert.
BY hia direction two counts Of the
indictment, one charging conspiracy
and the other misappropriation, were
stricken from the record. In dismiss
ing heconspiracy charge Judge Hough
said that, from the evidence which has
been adduced, he could not see how
the minds of the two defendants could
act in concert. In view of the evil
dence, he said, he could not permit
a verdict on the conspiracy count, and
therefore, he directed that the con-
spiracy charge be dismissed.
The count in the indictment charg-
ing misappropriation in connection
with the 100000 not given in payment
for stock purchased from Morse, was
also dismissed by Judge Hough on
the ground that there was no evidence
of criminality.
