cial Waterman for the sporting goods

trance to the store through a door lead
ing from the basement of the building
to the main floor.
The dead man had gained entrance

FREIGHT AGENTS
TO PLAN DEFENSE
Conference Today of Represent
atives of Terminal Lines Re-
garding the Spokane Case
Result of Discussion Will Be of
Interest to the Jobbers
of This City

A conference which is of the utmost
city will be opened today by the rep
resentatives of the terminal lines at
the Flood building. At this meeting
some line of defense will be decided
upon by the traffic managers of the
interested roads to be adopted by them
before the Interstate commerce COM
mission hearing in September in this
city on the famous Spokane rate case.
The parties to the conference will be:
H: A. Jones, freight traffic manager
OF the Southern Pacific.
u. w. Luce, general freight agent
OF the Southern Pacific.
Edward Chambers, assistant freight
traffic manager of the Santa Fre.
). q Baird, general freight agent OF
the Northern Pacific.
w. P. Kenney. assistant traffic pan-
ager OF the Great Northern
K. M: Calkins, freight traffic man
eyer OF the Chicago, Milwaukee and
w. r. Machines, freight traffic man
ager OF the Canadian Pacific.
h b. Miller, general freight agent
or the oregon railway and navigation
company.
r. H. Countiss, agent of the trans
continental freight bureau.
sPOKANE's DEMAND
In brief the merchants of Spokane
want lower rate from the east, and
make the contention that it is right
they should have 1t, as Portland and
other coast cities enjoy a lower rate
for longer haul. 1t is the reopening
or the old question of water competi-
ton, whereby coast cities or those
which are affected by water competi-
ton enjoy a lower rate than inland
cities The success of the Spokane
merchants in having the question re-
opened has prompted Reno and Fresno
and other towns in the interior to Sc
cure the same low rates as coast cities.
and the jobbing interests of San Fran
cisco have taken alarm over the out
come of the Spokane case.
The railroad people assert that IL this
low rate applied to interior towns the
large jobbing interests of San Fran
cisco would suffer materially, and in
innate that the railroad companies are
making the battle not to disturb the
present rates as much for themselves
as they are for the big jobbing interests,
and have their fullest cooperation in
this fight.
HELD IN ABEYANCE
The Spokane decision, as is well
known, is held In allegiance until the
September meeting, and the above
named representatives will. at the
present meeting, devise some line of
action in order to defend the present
adjustment. The freight traffic man
ayers of the interested lines assert that
their respective roads have to defend
the present terminal situation because
they are hauling traffic at a very low
rate. and hold that the shipper has no
right to demand that 1t be still further
lowered. 1t is also brought to the at
tention Of the public that the interstate
commerce commission can not compel
the roads to carry goods at lower than
reasonable rates for service performed.
The interior points are now asking
the commission for relief against the
present rates from the east. charging
that they are higher than fair and rea-
sOnable.

COL. KIRKPATRICK
LOSES 20 POUNDS
Manager of Fairmont and Palace
Hotels Home From His Trip
to Europe

Colonel John c. kirkpatrick, manager
of the Fairmont and Palace hotels, who
has just returned from a trip to Europe,
made principally in search of health
and rest, visited the famous watering
places OF the continent and has re-
turned about 20 pounds reduced in
weight and in much improved phys
ica1 condition.
Kirkpatrick said yesterday that the
trip was not taken in the interest of
the two hotels he manages. All the
furniture has already been bought, he
said, in this country; and as for ideas,
the Palace of old reproduced on it's old
scale was as good as anything the out
side world afforded.
The Palace will be opened in No
vember," Kirkpatrick said yesterday.
There was a rumor that we would
open for the Portola festival, but we
think that the best results will be OBJ
tanned by opening the hotel in finished
and complete shape"

ALLEGES HER HUSBAND
GOT DIVORCE BY FRAUD
Mrs. Eva Levy Locates Spouse
in This City

Mrs Eva Levy told of making two
trips to England and one to North
Carolina In the search for her hus-
band, Max Levy, while testifying be-
fore Judge Sturtevant yesterday in her
suit to set aside the divorce she asserts
Levy obtained in San Francisco by
fraud and imposition. Levy is pro-
prietor of a pawnshop at 81 Fourth
street, and, according to his wife's
complaint, owns realty and other prop
erty worth 100000.
They were married in Warsaw, Po-
land, in April, 1908. Levy deserted his
wife in Passaic, N. j., in 1897. accord
ing to her testimony. With her child
she went to Baltimore to live. Last
year, through a mutual acquaintance,
she learned that in July, 1906, her hus-
band had obtained divorce in San
Francisco, Judge Hosmer having signed
the decree.
Max Levy, after getting the divorce
which Eva Levy claims was fraudulent
married Fannie Haims. by whom he
has one child. Part of his defense to
the suit for annuIment is the fact that
when his first wife came to San Fran
cisco last year he gave her $500 in
settlement of all claims against him.
Mrs. Levy is represented by Theodore
]. Roche, while Samuel Shortridge is
attorney for Levy. The case stands

WHEELER OBTAINS
NEW RATE SYSTEM.
Independent Tariffs to Be Issued
Henceforth by the
Panama Road
Schedule Separated From That
Used by the Transconti-
mental Lines

William r. Wheeler, manager of the
traffic bureau of the Merchants ex-
change. received word yesterday that
his battle to force the separation of
transcontinental and Panama rates had
been successful Heretofore the rates
to San Francisco from New York by
way of the isthmus have been based
upon the transcontinental tariffs, taxi
ing a discount of 80 per cent from this
schedule in carload lots and 40 per
cent In less than carloads. The objec-
ton to this arrangement has been that
with every advance in the coast to
coast all rail rate the Panama rate also
advanced. Wheeler has been endeavor-
ing for nearly a year TO break this re-
lationship.
INDEPENDENT TARIFF SHEETS
Information to the effect that the
Panama railroad company would hence
forth issue independent tariff sheets
was brought to Wheeler yesterday in
a letter from A. E. Paterson, the
freight agent of the line, with head
quarters in New York. Paterson wrote
in part as follows:
With reference to the interviews you had
with our vice president at different times
during the last ak or seven months in
Of Panama to San Frsncisoo. I have now to
advise you that we have issued new
tariff. which becomes effective tho goth
instant.
copy of the new schedule was en-
closed in the letter and 1t shows that
in general the rates are 80 per cent
below the carload figures of the trans
continental railroads. In many cases.
however, there is a fractional change
IT,, III.
ton on canned goods amounts to 30
per cent, the new tariff being SIS cents
per hundred pounds. On some classes
of agricultural implements the discount
from the all rail route will amount to
35 per cent, and on whisky In bulk IL
will reach as high as A per cent.
Wheeler regards the separation Of
the Panama rates from the trans
continental schedule as a distinct ad-
vantage to the local shippers. The
change applies to the west bound ship
carried as before under the fiat 40 cent
rate. at least as long as the Pacific
Mail consents to that arrangement
GOOD FOR BUSINESS COMMUNITY
The Panama railroad has at last
divorced itself from the transconti-
mental tariff" said Wheeler. while
the final analysis will show that the
rates are approximately what they
were before, nevertheless the Panama
route has made a start toward publish
ing an independent tariff. This can not
but be looked upon as an excellent
thing for the business community.
When the Panama road operated under
the differential, it gave the shipper
practically no relief when the trans
continental rates were advanced"
It is apparent that the new state of
affairs will tend to steady the trans
continental rates. Heretofore, when
the lines advanced their tariffs. they
automatically advanced the Panama
rates, thus impairing the value of
water competition.

RED TAPE DELAYS
WORK ON DAM SITE
Federal Routine Hampers City's
Progress at Lake
Eleanor

On account of certain harassing condi-
tions and restrictions imposed on the
work the city's progress in Hetch
Hetchy and at Lake Eleanor has been
considerably delayed by the red tape
of the department of the interior. II
has been desired to get the preliminary
survey work and that of clearing the
Eleanor dam site so we'll under way
that direct construction might begin
next spring. but minor delays by the
department have. in part, forestalled
this The obstructive action in court
brought by Spring Valley interests TO
tie up the recent $4,000 worth of bond
issue money, while unsuccessful in Its
main object, kept the city's force Cor
two months from active operations on
an extended scale. Judge SeawelHs de-
cision in favor of the city has resulted
in the clearing away of this stumbling
block.
1t has been the intention of the city
authorities to put up a permanent
stone and concrete building as the main
storehouse near the site, which could
be used later on as the headquarters
of the keeper The objection to build
ings on the government land may be
met by the statement that in Yosemite
itself hotels, camps, stores and Pho
tographers' studios have been per-
mitted of a substantial wooden con-
struction. The Sierra club itself has
erected a stone club reading room and
memorial under Glacier Points BLUM.
and the original objection of. depart

way before the virtual necessity for

cution of the work.

The supervisors will consider as a

building the half block facing in First
avenue between California and Sacra-
mento streets in Richmond.
The building committee decided at
yesterdays meeting to solicit offers
for this property, after determin-
ing that the proposed site at Cough
and Washington streets was beyond
the funds at hand for the purpose.
The sum of 100000 is available, but
for the latter property nearly $100, 900
in excess of this was asked, and the
members, after a careful survey, came
to the conclusion that no ground suf-
hciently spacious could be secured at
the price east of First avenue.
