TWO FIREMEN SLIGHTLY
HURT; HOSE CUT BY TRAIN
Department Probably Will Demand
Payment from Railroad for
Damage to Its Line

Two firemen, M. Mccormick and w.
Smiley, were slightly injured while en-
gagged in eXtinguishing a small blaze
at the Green Marshall Paint company S
plant, at 1912 East Fifteenth street,
yesterday. Mccormick was burned
slightly on his face and Smiley suf-
fered painful laceration on the right
hand.
The fire started at II o'clock yester-
day, when a kettle of boiling oil, in the
varnish kitchen, an outbuilding short
distance from the main building, ex-
ploded and scattered blazing oil about
the place.
While the firemen were playing a
stream of water on the blaze South
ern Pacific train disregarded the line
of hose that was laid across the track
firemen to a certain extent and a gar
den hose was used until another line
could be laid.
The fire soon was eXteinguished and
the loss is estimated at $780, fully
covered by insurance

SHOWS EXPENSE
OF CAR HANDLING
SANTA FE REBUTS TESTIMONY
OF JOBBERS' ASSOCIATION
DECLARES SWITCHING CHARGES
MUST BE FIGURED IN COST
Railroad Company Attempts to Prove
Freight Rates Not Excessive.
Hearing Before Interstate
Commission Ended

A further effort was made by the
Santa Fe railroad yesterday, one of the
defendants in the cause brought before
the interstate commerce commission by
the Los Angeles Associated Jobbers, TO
rebut the testimony offered by the COM
claimants, especially with reference to
the values Of lands used for team
tracks and industry tracks. The evil
dence adduced yesterday, however, was
directed more particularly to rebuttlng
the testimony of the inspectors sent
into the field by the interstate COM
merce commission. which was given at
the hearings in San Francisco. rms
testimony related to the time and eX-
pense in handling cars from and 10 IN
dustry and team tracks.
The Santa Fe road yesterday placed
T. w. Pate on the witness stand. Mr..
Pate is local agent for that road. He
testified to facts which controvert those
contained in the testimony of the in
spectors.
Counsel for the Santa Fe also intro
duced three locomotive engineers,
whose testimony referred more partic-
ularly to the working hours of the en-
CINE crews and the time consumed in
handling cars. The item of the expense
of handling the cars, and the number
work, it is contended by the railroads,
make the switching charge essential
and must be figured in the general cost
of transporting freight.
Controverts Testimony
Robert NJ. Allen, real estate expert,
was recalled by the compliments to
answer the testimony of Mr.. SoRelle, a
real estate expert introduced by the
Southern Pacific. Mr.. Allen CONTRA
dicted Mr.. SoRelle at every point, as
sorting his estimate of the value of the
lands was far below what they would
bring on the market. With Mr.. Allen S
