herewith copy of letter from Edward
Chambers, general freight traffic manager
OF the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
railway system. to Mr.. G. A. Davidson,
auditor of the same company, dated Feb
ruary p, 1907
This letter does not deal with interstate
shipments, but the constitution of the
state of California makes the payment OF
rebates by railroads felony and Mr..
Ripley has apparently not been above
the commission of crime to secure BUSH
mess. You are at liberty to use this in
closure in any way that you think 1t can
be of service to yourself or the public.
Sincerely yours.

Letter From Chambers.

San Francisco February d, 1901
Dear Sir-I hand you herewith a file
of papers covering the movement of fuel
oil shipped by the Associated Oil company
over our line from January l. 1906, up to
and including November Is, 1906.
We agreed with the Associated Oil COM
panys negotiations with Mr.. Ripley. Mr.
Wells, and myself that in consideration
of their making US a special price on oil
for company use, which is covered by
contract, and the further consideration
that We would take a certain quantity.
they would in turn ship from Bakersfield
over our line to San Francisco bay points
a certain minimum number of barrels Of
fuel oil at rate of % cents per barrel from
Bakersfield, exclusive of the switching
charge.
These statements cover the movement.
except that they have included Stockton,
which is not correct, as 1t is not bay
point and could not be reached as con-
Veniently by water. We have paid them
on account of this movement S7239, which
should be deducted from the total of
movement shown in the attached papers.
I wish you would arrange to make up
statement, check the same, and refund
to the Associated Oil company down TO
the basis of % cents per barrel from
Bakersfield where they are the shippers,
regardless of who is consignee, as all
their fuel oil is sold delivered. The reason
for making this deal in addition to what
l have stated, is that the Associated
Oil company have their own boats and
carry oil from fields controlled by them
selves along the coast near San Luis
Obispo to San Francisco at a much lower
cost than the special rate we have made
them and in competition with the Union
Oil company and the Standard Oil com
pany, it was necessary for them to sell
at the San Francisco bay points on the
basis of the cost of water transportation
from the coast fields. They figured they
could only afford to pay us the 25 cents
per barrel If by doing this they sold our
company a certain amount of fuel OIL
otherwise the business covered by the at
taehed papers would have come in by
boat from the coast fields.
am writing this up completely so that
there may be in the papers history Of
the reasons why this arrangement was
made. | wish you would go ahead and
make the adjustment as soon as possible
as the Associated Oil company are very
anxious to have the matter closed up
The arrangement was Cancelled on Novem-
Der Is at a conference between Mr.. Rip
ley, Mr.. Wells, Mr.. Porter and myself

Crushing Competition.

The attacks by these great corporations
on the administration actions have been.
given a wide circulation throughout the
country in the newspapers and otherwise,
by those writer's ana speakers who, con-
sciously or uneonsciously, act as the rep
resentatiYes of predatory Wealth-of the
wealth accumulated on a giant scale by
all forms of iniquity, ranging from the
oppression of Wageworkers to unfair and
unWholesome methods of crushing out
competition, and to defrauding the public
by stock jobbing and the manipulation
of securities. Certain wealthy men of
this stamp, whose conduct should be alb
horrent to every man of Ordinarily decent
conscience, and who commit the hideous
wrong of teaching our young men that
phenomenal business success must ordi-
narly be based on dishonesty, have dur
ing the last few months made it apparent
that they have banded together to work
for a reaction. Their endeavor is to
overthrow and discredit all who honestly
administer the law, to prevent any addi-
tional legislation which would check and
restrain them, and to secure If possible a
freedom from all restraint which will
permit every INSCRIPTIONS wrongdoer to
do what he wishes unchecked provided he
has enough money. The only way to
counteract the movement in which these
men are engaged is to make clear to the
public just what they have done in the
past and just what they are seeking to
accomplish in the present.
The administration and those who SIM
port its views are not only not en-
gagged in an assault on property, but are
strenuous upholders of the right of prop
erty. The wise attitude to take is ad-
mirably stated by Governor Fort of New
Jersey in his recent inaugural address;
the principles which he upholds as re-
CARDS the state being of course Identical
with those which SHOULD obtain as re-
CARDS the nation

BY RIGHT OF SWORD. {"

The benefit performance of By Right of Sword" for St Mary's hos- pital will be given at the Jacques this evening, and judging from the large sale of tickets large audience will attend. The proceeds of the per- formances will be given to the new hospital through the kindness of s. z. Poli. The benefit performances are given under the auspices of the Knights of Columbus and the Daugh- ters of Isabella. The play is a TO- mantle drama which tells a very in teresting and entertaining story of the adventures of an American in Russia. He is an American soldier but is mistaken for Russian and finds himself in the midst of plots, and counterplots laid by the Nil hilists and the beaureaucracy and finally has to fight himself to his way to freedom with his sword. David M. Hartford will have the role of the dashing young adventurer and Miss Susan Van Duzer will appear as Olga, the Russian girl, who falls in love with the American. The supporting company will be excellent and the production very elaborate. The piece will be produced under the personal supervision of Harry o. Stubbs. Polls popular prices.

 Thus Sophy's actic ,omed large in the kings eyes, and he was indolently indifferent to the view taken of 1t in the barrack rooms and the drinking shops of Slavna. Two days after Mis-. titch's attempt he received Sophy at the palace with every circumstance of compliment. The prince was not pres ent-he made military duty an excuse but Countess Ellenburg and her little son were in the room, and General Ste. movies, with Markart in attendance, stood beside the kings chair.
 Sophy saw a tall, handsome. elderly man, with thick iron gray hair most artfully arranged. The care of it was no small part of the duty of Lepage, the kings French body servant. His majesty's manners were dignified. but not formal. The warmth of greeting whL.h he had prepared for Sophy was evidently increased by the impression her appearance made on him. He thanked her in terms of almost over whelming gratitude.

It was so particularly important to be gracious just now-gracious both over the preservation of the dynasty and over it's preseryer.

 There was moments silence So phy was still nervous in such company She was also nneasily conscious of a most intense gaze directed at her by General Stenovics, but she spoke out "They knew perfectly we'll, sir,' she said.
 "They knew the prince?" he asked sharply. "Why do you say that? Il was dark"
 Not in the street, sir. The illumina. tions lit it up."
 But they were very drunk"
 ''They may have been drunk, but they knew the prince. Captain Mis-. fitch called him by his name"
 "Stenovicsv' The kings voice was full of surprise and question as he turned to his minister. The general was surprised, too. but very suave.
 T can only say that hear Mile. de Gruche's words with astonlshment. Our accounts are not consistent with what she says. We don't. of course, lay too much stress on the protesta- tions of the two prisoners, but Lieu tenant Rastatz is clear that the street was decidedly dark and that they all three believed the man they encounter ed to be Colonel Stafnitz of the Illus sars. That officer much resembles his royal highness in height and figure. In the dark the difference of uniform would not be noticed. especially by men fin their condition" He addressed Sophy: "Mistitch had an old quarrel with Stafnitz. That's the true origin of the affair."" He turned to the king again. That is Rastatz's story. sir, as well as Mistitch's own. though Mistlteh Is. of course. quite aware that his most unseemly and. indeed. criminal talk at the Golden Lion seriously prejudices his case. But we have no reason to dlstrust Rastatz."
