SOUTHERN PACIFIC
SPOILS BRICK TRADE
Insists Captain Pay Extortonate Rate
for Hauling Over Its Wharf
and He Declines to
Be Robbed

SAN PEDRO, April 16.-The differ
-ence between public dock and one
owned by the railroads was forcibly
illustrated here today, when Captain
Olsen of the schooner Esther Bruhne
was negotiating for $1,000 brick which
he desired to carry north with him on
his return trip to the sound.
The captain arranged with a local
brick yard to have the brick delivered
at the Southern Pacific wharf and in
tended to bring his schooner across the
channel from the Southern California
wharf in order to receive the same, but
upon inquiry at the Southern Pacific
Office he found that 1t would cost him
so cents per ton, or SIPS per thousand
brick, for the privilege of hauling the
brick in wagons over the wharf to the
vessels side.
AS the wharfage rate in San Fran
cisco is but cents per thousand brick,
the captain objected to the SIPS per
thousand holdup, and will therefore
purchase his brick elsewhere.

and Joseph Hefele severely shocked.
Assisting in the work were Myron
Miller and M. A. Miller. The latter re-

repair.
They had raised a section of pipe
from the WE'LL and in order to steady IT
Bake took hold of 1t just as 1t accl-
dentally rested on the supply wire OF
the Edison company. The accompany
ing shock threw Bake and Hefele to
the ground, rendering them both I'M
conscious, while Miller, receiving only
a slight shock, was able to go for help.
Drs. IL. H. Case of Santa Monica and
w. S. Mortenson of the Palms re
sponded as soon as possible, and after
working on the men succeeded in resusi-
tating Hefele, but were unable to save
Bakes life.

age. came to this part of the country
about year ago from College Corners,
