BALZAC MUSEUM is
SEIZED BY SHERIFF
Admission Money Does Not
Pay Expenses

Some time ago the admirers of Bal
zac founded as memorial a little
museum at Al Rue Raymond, at Passy
where the author of the "Comedie HUI
maine" lived from 1912 to 1S4S. At the
head of this band of disciples was NJ
de Royaumont. who bore most of the
cost of founding this shrine" But
alas, it seems that not only will the
museum be closed. but the Balzacian
relics. so piously collected. will in all
probability be dispersed at the fall of
the auctioneer's hammer, for it appears
that the admission money has been in
sufficient to pay expenses. or even the
rent, and as there is no endowment the
bailiffs are in possession, with every
prospect that before the month is out
the writer's inkstand, his manuscripts
and his other fares and penates will
pass into strange hands. Although
Balzac needs no memorial his writings
are a memorial acre perennius," yet IL
seems incredible that his countrymen
will allow the museum to be dispersed.

RAILROAD POSES
AS A BENEFACTOR
Statistician Says Company Has
Been Switching Cars at
Less Than Cost
Long Columns of Figures Pre-
sented in Opposition to
Shippers Complaint

The Southern Pacific presented itself
yesterday in the role of the uncon-
scious philanthropist. It has been Civ
ing money away and didn't know it,
At least that is what the company says.
The exposure of the company's char
table inclinations was made yester-
day before Referee Lederman. who is
presiding for Commissioner Lane in
the hearing based on the protest
against the switching rate OF $3.50 a
car. The shippers complained that the
charge was too high. Now the South
ern Pacific replies that il has cost S6-SS
to switch a car and that it has been
giving the service for far less than
cost.
The protest against the switching
charge was filed in behalf of the Pa
cific coast jobbers' and manufacturers
association. Hearings have been
spread over several weeks and testi-
mony was taken yesterday as to the
cost of tie switching service. Attorf-
ney Seth Mann appeared for the ship
pers and Attorney c. W. Durbrow for
the Southern Pacific.
COST OF SWITCH ENGINE
Richard J. Barry, an assistant in
the general superintendent ONCE and
statistician for the Southern Pacific. oc-
cupied the stand during the entire day.
He put long columns OF figures through
their PAGES 10 the great satisfaction Of
the company's attorneys.
1t was through the mathematical
achievements OF Barry that the cost Of
switching a car to an industry track
was made to apepar as S6-3S-
Barry added wages, cost of fuel. lu-
bricating, damages. depreciation inter
est. taxes and sundTy other items to-
gether and announced that the sum
total led him to conclude that IL cost
S4S03 to maintain and operate a switch
engine for one hour in the San Fran
cisco yards. With this a basis, he
proceeded TO figure the cost OF switch
ing a car to an industry.
ESTIMATES CAUSE PROTEST
Barry found that 1O0.6s7 hours were
devoted to switching. making the total
cost S4S3 027.S1. Then he added I 5 per
cent for superintendence, arriving at
a new total of s497.9S1.4 IL. Estimating
that the engines spent 27-5O7 per cent
of their time IN switching TO industries.
he discovered the proportion to be
s137.442.S6.
To this he added s11s26-7S as the cost
of maintenance; $7.O27.16 for interest
on the cost of construction; S1O.344 for
the extra clerical force and announced
a total of S166.64O.S0 as the cost per
year for operating the industry tracks.
On the basis that 29.s1s industry cars
are handled year and that the COM
pany suffers a loss of 74 cents car
for detention" Barry reached the
summit of his calculations. declaring
that the cost Of switching each car
figured out a s6.35.
Seth Mann objected 10 the testimony
as unsupported estimate, with no prac-
tical foundation.

STOCKTON, June 23.-San joaquin
county table grape growers are being
offered SIS for tokays, and it is under
stood that West & Sons. connected with
the California wine association, will
pay So ton for wine grape yields. 1t
is estimated that there are about $4,000
acres of table grapes in bearing this
season and about half as many wine
grapes.
In that section west of Lodi where
the Mokelumne recently flooded the
lands the old vines are yielding all of
75 pounds each, and the general yield
in that section will be heavy.
FROST DID SOME DAMAGE
Since the heavy frost of May Is,
however. in some sections the grapes
were damaged. and since that time
have been dropping from the vines.
The tendency of the punches is long
and not well filled. This will add ma
terially to the packing, as such bunches
pack to best advantage.
The cut worms have done some dam
age to the younger vines in small
areas. but the damage is very much
distributed Owing to there being no
late rains. the cuttings are suffering
