Supervisor FOss Fails in Effort

OAKLAND, May 24.-Supervisor Foss
made one last effort today TO get print
ing done for Alameda county at a rate

as no other supervisor assisted him.
Well, I've done my best to save the
county $4,000 on printing" said Foss.
as it became apparent that he was
alone. No one seconded the resolution
he introduced, which was to pay the
lower rate instead Of the higher one
for each description in the delinquent
tax list. The printing goes regularly to

a square, but his offer was not ae-
cepted.
Soon after Foss' resolution met with
the snub 1t got a resolution to vote
500 for the San Leandro cherry fes-
tival came up. Foss opposed it on the
ground that If he could not get the
other supervisors to vote with him to
save the county money, he was not
going to vote with them to spend 1t.
1t was discovered that the county ad-
vertising fund was already exhausted,
and San Leandro will have TO go with
out county aid for its cherry festival

FIGHT RAILROAD
LOADING CHARGES
Merchants File Complaint With
the Interstate Commerce
Commission

A complaint against the loading and
unloading charges of the Southern Pa
cifc and the Santa Fe railroads was
filed before the interstate commerce
commission yesterday by State Senator
Lester G.. Burnett and j. o. Bracken,
representing the Hansen COM
pany. wholesale commission merchants.
The complaint sets forth that since
August %. 1906. it has been the prac-
tice of the two carriers to charge
90 cents a ton for loading or unloading
freight at San Francisco. This tax, 1t
is stated, is made only at San Francisco
and represents a discrimination against
this city.
The fee of 20 cents a ton. as exacted
from local merchants, amounts an
nually to hundreds of thousands of
dollars, and the complaint will bring
test case before the commission
The railroads reserve to themselves
the right to load and unload cars and
charge an arbitrary sum of 20 cents
a ton therefor. No fee is demanded for
grain at Port Costa or for Alaskan
salmon loaded at this city. Otherwise
the rule is general
The complaint charges that the as
sessment of this amount is unjust, un-
=
shippers assert that il is the duty of
common carrier TO receive and to
deliver freight and TO charge for that
service in its regular freight rate Any
extra charge is declared to be unjust.
On shipments from New York by
boat to Galveston and thence to San
Francisco there is no fee at New York
for the loading service. The shippers
there are exempt. but in San Francisco
the tax is applied.
The rule was put into effect after
the fire, when the local yards were
congested with cars 1t was thought
at that time that it was merely tenn
porary expedient. but the rule has been
allowed to remain.
feature of the rule that has caused
particular complaint is that the rail-
roads reserve the right to refuse to
allow a shipper to load or unload his
own car.

VETERANS SCORE
BAPTIST PICNIC
Declare in Resolutions That
Celebration May 80 Is Insult
to Patriotic People

BERKELEY, May 24.-Resolutions
condemning the Baptist Sunday school
association OF Alameda for planning a
picnic Memorial day. May 80, were
unanimously adopted today by Lookout
Mountain post, the Berkeley organiza-
tion of the Grand Army of the Republic,
and the picnic and like celebrations on
that day are declared by the veterans
of the civil war an insult to all patri-
otic people"
The resolutions state in part as fol-
lows:
'The Grand Army of the Republic
holds that it is day set apart to
honor and commemorate those heroes
now dead, who saved the country in the
time of its peril All over the nation
on that day suitable ceremonies will be
held and the post holds that for
churches or any one to use the day for
picnics is an insult to all patriotic
people"
The picnic planned for Decoration
day is under the direct auspices of the
First Baptist church of Oakland, OF
which Rev. HI. ]. Vosburgh is pastor.
Rev. Mr.. Vosburgh is opposed to the
celebration. He said today:
LAS the matter is in the hands of ].
NJ. Davis, superintendent of the Sunday
school, l did not know about 1t until
week ago [ am against the picnic
on Memorial day, and should l have
known before 1 would have certainly
advised against holding it on that day.
Not that 1t is a crime, but the day is
hardly appropriate for picnicS'
j. NJ. Davis. who has charge of the
affair, stated that confusion had been
caused because May 80 fell on Sun
day, and for that reason there had been
mistake in the plans for the picnic
Rev. /. J. Baker, pastor of the South
Berkeley Baptist church, declared that
Memorial day was too sacred to hold
lightly and that while some of his
Sunday school children would attend
the picnic the church as a corporation
had nothing to do with it.
