RATES ON OIL EXCESSIVE
According to Testimong Given
BY Producers Before Cor
poration Commission

That the rates on oil are so evces.
sive that the oil industry is greatly
hampered is shown by the testimony
In the hearing before the corporation
commission j, A. Richardson testi-
fled that the advance in freight rates
since the Judge Hook injunction had
been from 40 TO so per cent and that
the railroads now charge the oil men
in the neighborhood Of 300 per cent
more than they do for transportation
of coal. w. T. Stanard of Ebporia
testified that he knew of a great many
instances where the rate had been
raised as high as so per cent and had
way bills TO show several shipments
where the rate had been raised that
much. ~sgH
During tie hearing an instance was
cited where car Of oil worth $50
had been shipped from Keifer to
Cherokee by way OF Guthrie and the
freight was $222. This was an in
crease of SEQ per cent over the OLD
rate established by the commission
The railroads advanced the argu
ment that they pay the oil men a
small amount for the use of their
cars, but the producers claim that
the necessary repairs during the
course of a year is more than offset
Henry Wilmering, Jry the com
missions expert accountant, showed
that under the railroad rates in eff
feet before the Hook injunction. the

panles we're greater in Oklahoma thar

that they were many times greater

Vilmering had tables compiled from

mony on them. After the direct ex
animation of Mr.. Wilmering the heEf
ing adjourned until next Wednesday

WOMAN KILLED
IN BATTLE OF
RIVAL Lovers
Discarded Object of Her Love Is
Dying and New Favorite
Is in Prison
Bloody Tragedy Played in Tent
on Camp Near Sunnyyale
Cannery
[SpeeiaL Dispatch 10 The Call


SAN JOSE, June 11.--Mrs Mary Leigh
of Santa Clara is dead, James Parks of
the same place is dying at the Connor
hospital and Joseph Rasposo is detained
at the county jail in this city as the re-
suit of a shooting af1ray today which
created a panic in the summer camp ad-
joining the Sunnyvale cannery. Rivalry
the double tragedy. Parks is black
smith and Rasposo is cannery hand.
WOMAN DIES INSTANTLY
Mrs. Leigh was killed instantly by
the passage of SO caliber revolver bull
let through her brain. Parks was shot
through the back and cut across the
throat The shooting occurred in tent
occupied by the woman, who was en-
ployed by the cannery at Sunnyvale,
and the only witness besides Parks as
TO what actually happened is Rasposo.
The Portuguese admits shooting Parks,
but says that the latter first killed
Mrs. Leigh and then turned the weapon
on him. He asserts that Parks then cut
his own throat with penknife. In an
swer to a question by the attending
physician just after the shooting Parks
denied that he welded the knife, shak-
ing his head in the negative.
Parks was we'll known in Santa
Clara. About year ago. when he went
to Sunnyvale he was followed by Mrs.
Leigh, who had been deserted a short
time before by her husband, recent
arrival from the east. She kept house
for Parks when he opened a black
smith shop there. They lived together
for little more than six months, then
Parks returned to Santa Clara. Mrs.
Leigh secured employment at the can
merry, refusing to follow him.
ELECTED FROM TENT
Parks, evidently under the influence
of liquor, appeared at the cannery to-
day. He had a talk with Rasposo and,
according to the statement of the lat
ter, attempted to effect reconciliation
with Mrs. Leigh. Rasposo. in the
meantime, had won the affections of
Mrs. Leigh and the consultation ended
with the election of Parks by Ras-
poso from Mrs. Leigh's tent.
About 2:30 O'Clock Parks returned He
asked to be allowed TO. have a private
conversation with the woman, and Ras-
poso accordingly stepped outside of the
tent, leaving the couple alone. A mo-
ment later shot rang out. Rasposo
ran into the tent in time TO see Mrs.
Leigh stagger and fall ON a cot. The
murderer, he says, turned upon him,
and a furious struggle for the pistol
ensued. The weapon was again dis
charged and Parks fell, shot in the
back. Rasposo then left the tent he
says. and Immediately jumped into his
rig to secure DR.. Starbird. He drove
the physician back to the camp. Upon
entering the tent they found Parks
lying on his back bleeding from sew
eral slashes across his throat. In his
hand was small penknife. The physi-
clan asked the dying man if he had cut
his throat. He shook his head in the
negative.
Rasposo says that Parks must have
cut his own throat during the short
space of time he was alone following
the shooting. Rasposo surrendered to
Constable McGinnis and was brought to
San Jose. No hope is extended for
Parks recovery.

WATER RATE DRIVES
TRADE FROM PORT
Shipping Interests Turn From
Spring Valley Company to
Supervisors for Relief

The shipping interests have now
turned from Spring Valley company to
the supervisors in their quest for re-
lief from the extortionate charges for
water at the wharves. The company
has refused to amend its schedule The
supervisors have the power of regula-
tion. however. and it is to this agency
that the ship owners look for assist
ance.
The special water rates committee of
the board will not file its report until
tomorrow, but there have been intima-
tions that it would stand by the COM
pany against the shippers. In this
case the appeal will be carried to the
full board.
Supervisor Nelson, chairman of the
water rates committee, has thus far
given the shipping men no encourage
ment The figures have been present
ed to him, showing that the Spring
Valley imposes an overcharge of more
than 100000 annually upon this port,
or in other words upon the commerce
of San Francisco. The effect naturally
is to- drive trade away.

rate should be the same as the mini

gallons. But we are willing to pay
double that.
I'VE will be satisfied for the present
with rate of 80 cents thousand gall

rate at Vallejo, Eureka or Puget sound,
but we will accept it nevertheless. There
is absolutely no Justice in the present
schedule of s1.50 a thousand gallons
When the water rates were last un-
der consideration Nelson said that he
would report in favor of the re-enact-
ment of the old schedule. This is not
acceptable to the shipping men. They
have been paying $1.50 thousand gal
Ions, while other ports have offered
water from to 20 cents a thousand.
The $3.50 tariff was put into effect
some 35 years ago and has remained
