LEMON GROWERS SCORE
AGAINST RAILROADS
Federal Court i'm Los Angeles
Overrules Demurrers

Los ANGELES. Nov. 22.-The lemon
growers of southern California won
the first point in the contest with the
railroads to prevent a raise lin the
freight rates on lemons today when
Judge Morrow in the United States
circuit court overruled the demurrers
interposed by the railroad companies.
The lemon growers seek to enjoin
the railroads from putting the proposed
raise on lemon rates into effect, and
the hearing today was on an applica-
tion to make the temporary injunction
permanent. The railroads demurred on
the ground that court was without
Jurisdiction.
second contention was that the
increased lemon freight rate having
supplanted the old rate, under the fed
eral law no rate at all would be in
effect if the court decided the new
rate was illegal. Judge Morrow de-
cided that the old rate, not being at
tackled, would still stand If the decision
was against the railroad and the new
and increased rate.

AMEND TAX RECORD
TO BLOCK SUIT
Supervisors Change Old Minutes
to Raise the 1902 Rate
Five Cents

OAKLAND, Nov. 22-Over the pro-
tests of C. S Macmillan and Attorney
Brewton Hayne, his counsel. the board
of supervisors, under the instructions Of
Deputy District Attorney Leon Clark,
amended the minutes fixing the tax rate
for the fiscal year 1902-1903 at Sl.25-
MacMullan's interest in Clark's opin-
ion lay in the fact that suit for re-
bate of S24.320, which he had 1led
against County Auditor Pierce and
which is set for trial next Friday before
Judge Ellsworth. will now be ground
less.
MacMullan's point was that the board
passed a resolution on that occasion
fixing the state and county rate at
s120 and specifying 40 cents as the
amount TO go into the general fund.
Subsequently the board rescinded the
rate and voted to fix the figure of the
general fund at As cents. but neglected
to pass a resolution fixing the COM
bined rate at s1.25. Macmillan held
that the state rate of So cents and 2
mills was then in effect and that col
lections of taxes on that figure were
illegal
About 500 tax payers had assigned
their interests in rebates TO him for
the taxes paid on unsecured personal
property. other classes having out
lawed by lapse of time.
Former Supervisors j. r. Talcott.
John Mitchell and II. D. Rowe testified
rs to the intention of the board on that
occasion. and that on Clarks advice the
minutes were amended, Supervisor Kel-
ley introducing a resolution.
The board heard Macmillan through.
but he was not cross examined. At
the close Hayne asked a continuance of
10 days to secure more witnesses, but
this was denied. He then asked to have
the record show that he was denied a
hearing.

FORMER SUPERVISOR
MUST UNDERGO TRIAL
Sonoma County Judge Overrules
Demurrer TO Indictment
hSneciol Disnntch 10 The GILL

SANTA ROSA, Nov. 22.-Judge EN-
NETT .SeaweH of the Sonoma county SUI
perior court today overruled the de-
murrer interposed by former Super
visor l. ]. Button to the indictment re-
turned against him charging him with
presenting and collecting bills for
road work containing overcharges. A
plea of not guilty was entered and the
case went over until Monday, January
to be set for trial.
The defense claims that under the
wording of the law the supervisor had
no authority to allow the bill, and
therefore it was void and. being void,
no action could lie against him.
An effort was made to have the court
take official recognition of the fact
that the accused was supervisor, al
though it was not so charged in the
indictment.
