Herbert Folger of San Francisco read
an article on the writing of papers.
The address of T. j. A. Tiedemann of
this city on Building Construction and
Rates was the subject of much COM
ment between the members OF the asso-
citation. Tiedemann pointed out that
the high rates of insurance companies
were cue in a majority of instances TO
poor construction of buildings.
He said that building inspections
were not conducted properly and that
insurance companies were compelled to
charge high rates on account of the
installation of defective wiring, which,
he said. was the cause of the majority
OF the fires in the United States.

WILL APPLY RECENT
GAS RATE DECISION
Attorney Haven to Use New
Ruling in Fight Against
Water Charges
Late Interpretation of Law VIII
Be Argued in Briefs Before
the Circuit Court

Assistant City Attorney Thomas E.
Haven Will make Immediate use of
the decision rendered Monday by the
supreme court Of the United States in
which 1t was held that the so cent gas
rate could not be enjoined as con
fiscatory in the city of New York until
lt had been given a practical test
Haven Will raise this point in the lft-
CATION over the water rates at once
and may later apply it to the local
gas case
The opportunity to apply the su-
preme court ruling came yesterday
ney's office TO modify the Injunction
against the water rates came up for
hearing in the United States circuit
court before Judge harrington of Ne
yada. The city attorneys office asked
10 have the Injunction amended so as
to forbid the water company to cut
of the supply of its consumers who
refuse to pay the excess rates.
When the matter came UP yesterday
Attorney Frank Powers appeared for
the water company and asked for a
postponement because of the absence
OF Attorney E. j. McCutchen, who has
been In charge of the litigation for the
corporation. McCutchen, by the way,
is in Washington lobbying against the
city in its fight for the Hetch Hetchy
grant. Assistant City Attorney Haven
agreed to continuance, but upon sug-
gestion of Judge harrington it was
arranged that the matter should be
submitted on briefs. The city will file
its brief in 10 days and the company
Will have ! 8 days in which to answer.
Haven announced yesterday that he
would rely largely upon the supreme
court decision in the gas case to win
his point He has wired to Washing
ton for a complete text of the decision
and will make a thorough study of the
principles 1t enunciates in order to
apply them in all litigation with the
local public service corporations. The
supreme court decision appears, from
the brief resume which has been wired
TO San Francisco. to be great step
forward in the battle for the protection
OF the rights, of the public in contro-
versies with the utility companies

Constantin said he had long loved the
widow, but was too bashful to tell her
so. When ne visited her store and
bought a few things he would walk
outside and make googoo eyes at her
through the window. Last Monday
night he screwed up courage to tell her
that he would like to marry her and she
flew into a rage and had him arrested.
The widow informed the judge that
she objected to Constantin annoying
her and that she had not the slightest
intention of marrying him. The Judge
ordered Constantin into custody till he
could procure bonds of $500 to keep
the peace.

RATE FIGHT WILL
BE CARRIED EAST
Shippers to Have Representa-
five at Conference at Trans
continental Lines
Plans Going Forward for Strong
Presentation Before COm-
merce Commission

Local shippers are planning TO send
representstives 10 the conference of the
transcontnentaI lines TO be held in the
east in a few days in order TO pre-
sent their protest against the increased
rates 10 those Ia authority. The ship
pers executive committee has asked
both the California traffic association
and the traffic bureau of the mer-
chants exchange il they viii send dele
gates TO the conference. If these two
traffic bodies take no action in the mat
ter the shippers committee may send
a representative Of its own.
Interest was general yesterday in
mercantile circles in the testimony
given by Paul Morton in the hearing
3 involving the Hartman lines. Morton
testified that by reason OF his western
lines Hartman was able 10 control
rates TO California. This, il was argued.
disproved the contentious OF the South
ern Pacific officials that they were
forced by the other roads 10 advance
the tariffs.
Although no complaint VIII be lodged
with the Interstate commerce commits
sion until the shippers receive their
reply from the railroads plans are go
ing forward for a strong presentation
before the interstate board. Special in
Quiry is being made into previous ruI-
llgs 10y the commission. In this con-
nection il has been found that the
boards policy has been 70 regard as
ressona bic such rates as have been in
force Tor a number OF years. The fol-
lowing extract from the opinion in the
east Of the Pacific coast lumber manu-
facturers' association against the
Northern Pacific railroad relates this
point.
The rates in effect prior TO the ad-
Aances complained of had been in force
Tor long periods Of sine and I'm 2 few
instances the carriers had voluntarily
'Iecr lmmedlatelN prior 10 these ad-
Nances. The lumber trade had adjusted
itself 10 the conditions obta ining under
those rates, so that the vast interests
ahected were in a large measure de-
pendent upon the continuance thereof
The defendants derive a large proper
ton OF their revenues from the lumber
trafhc. and IL clearly appears that they
nave not only earned large profits on
their general business. but that the
transportation OF lumber under the old
rates yielded commensurate part
thereof and a reasonable return Tor the
service performed
From other records OF the commits
sion il would seem that the mainte-
nance Of rate for "A period Of i've
years or even less would raise a pre-
sumption against the reasona bleness Of
an advance.
p As most Of the rates which the trans
continental railroads have recently ad-
Nanced had been maintained for the
last ] 4 years, IL would appear in ac-
cordance with previous rulings OF the
commission that an advance on its face
Is presumed TO be unreasonable
