A maskea robber, armed -with an
automatic pistol, entered the grocery
store conducted by C. J. Peters at
966 Buena Vista street at 6:30 o'clock
last night, forced Mr. and Mrs. Peters
to throw up their hands, then took
540 from the cash drawer. The in
truder then warned the victims against
making an outcry and made his escape
■without interference.
Peters and his wife wero eating
their evening meai in the rear part
of the store, which they occupy as
living rooms. Peters heard the front
door slam and emerged from the din
ing room in time to see a dark form
glide behind the counter. Peters sev
eral times before had tricks played
on him by boys In the neighborhood,
and, thinking it one of their pranks,
went forward to joke with the masked
wan.
"'Throw up your hands," commanded
the masked stranger with an oath.
Paters responded in a Joking manner.
The masked one replied that he was in
earnest and would shoot if the store
keeper refused to raise his hands.
Wife Runs for Aid
After seeing that the man was des
perate 'and waa not one of the lads in
the neighborhood Peters threw up his
bands and was backed to the cash j
drawers. At this moment Mrs. Peters |
■who had not finished her supper, heard
the rough language used by tho rob
ber and started into the store.
When she saw her husband with his
hands in the air she knew something |
was WTOng and ran back into the
kitchen with the intention of getting
out the back door and notifying the
police. She heard a slight noise in the
back yard, and, fearing that there
■was another robber hidden there, ran
into the store and held up her hands.
By this time the intruder, after sev
eral unsuccessful attempts to open the
cash drawer, commanded Peters to
open the money box, and after taking
out J4O told the frightened storekeeper
that he would leave at least $1.50 in
small change.
After placing the money in his
pocket the robber backed toward the
front door, ordered the couple to keep
quiet for five minutes under penalty
of being shot, then ran south In the
direction of the Broadway tunnel.
Chase Proved Futile
Peters ran after the man, but saw
that the robber had a great gain on
him, and after a chase of a half block
returned to the store and notified the
Chief Dishman drove his automobile
to the scene and searched the neigh
borhood, and Capt. Lehnhausen of the
east side station, with several pa
trolmen, arrived and began investiga
tions.
According to Peters, the robber
■wore a black mask which covered his
face, was attired in a blue coat, a
dark pair of trousers and wore a
slouch black hat. The man was de
scribed as being 6 feet 7 Inches in
height and weighs about 140 pounds.
BANK ROBBERS FRIGHTENED
CLARINDA, la., Jan. 21.—Five bur
glars broke into the Farmers Savings
bank at Hepburn, la., early today,
blew open the safe, securing a small
amount of change, but were fright

DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE FORCES
RAILROAD COMMISSION TO ACT
Possibilities of Dignified Row Opened When
Letters Pass Between Members of
Party and State Officials
THE state railroad commission yes
terday sent a belligerent letter to
the shipping committee of the
Democratic state central committee in
reply to a communication of the hit
ter body sent to the railroad commis
sioners January 11 in which thi
ocratie committee urged Immediate
and drastic actoin on tho part of the
st,ate inquisitors against recent in
- of terminal and inland railway
rates.
"The committee will postpone fur
ther action until you have been given
a reasonable time to inform us what
action, if any. you intend '.<■ t:ik._-
I against existing corporation abuses,"
is the conclusion of the letter of the
Democratic committee.
"This sudden solicitude for the ship
pers of the state, considered in con
nection with the political aspirations
and salary-seeking attitude of these
gentlemen, excites suspicion and sug
gests the thought that they are more
I familiar with the desires and necessi
ties of political office seekers than
with the requirements and Interests of
shippers,'' is the reply of the state
I railroad commissioners in the letter
mailed yesterday. The remaining con
tents of the two letters are in similar
vein, uiiiili, considered apart from the
polite verbiage of the two communica
tions, gives a strong- impression that
the affair offers possibilities of an In
teresting but dignified row.
The Democratic committee, which
stirred up the trouble, was appointed
at the Democratic state conference in
San Francisco January S. It consisted
of Theodore A. Bell, Joseph A. Call,
George W. Cartwrig-ht, A. E. Camp
bell and A. Caminettl. The communi
lon of the railroad commissioners is
I signed by President A. C. Irwin and
H. D. Loveland and Theodore Sum
merland, members of the commission.
The letter was mailed from L#os An
geles, as President Irwin, Mr. Love
land and Secretary Walter D. Wagner
j are in Southern California after hold
j ing a number of hearings in towns In
tile southern part of the state.
The communication of the railroad
commissioners follows:
Hon. John F. Murray, secretary
Democratic state central commit
tee, San Francisco: Dear sir—ln
asmuch as your "Democratic state
conference" held In San Francisco
on Saturday, January 8, 1910, in a
manner which we presume you con
sidered fair and unprejudiced, pub
.llshed to the people of California a
set of resolutions condemning .with
out prior inquiry or hearing all of
the members of this commission
and failed to request of this com
mission or any member thereof be
fore publishing such resolutions
of condemnation, an explanation of
■what you were pleased to term
"the silence and inactivity of this
board," you will pardon us if this
board suggests that your demand
for an explanation comes a little
late in the Jay and bears the brand
of insincerity.
This impression is further con
firmed by the names signed to your
communication, for if the public
prints are truthful purveyors of
facts in this respect Mr. Theodore
A. 801 lis a Democratic candidate
for governor, Mr. Joseph A. '.'all la
a Democratic candidate for rail
road commissioner, Mr. George V.'.
Cartwrlght is a Democratic candi
date for lieutenant governor, .Mr.
A. B, Campbell is a Democratic
candidate for attorney general and
Mr. A. Caminettl is a Democratic
candidate for railroad commis
sioner.
Aside from this peculiar condition
of affairs attaching to these
constituted guardians of the ship
pers of tin- state we would cite the
fad that nut one member of this
committee, not even one member
..i the "Democratic state eonfer
h.is heretofore Intlmat*
this commission or to any member
thereof, either verbally or In writ
ing; that tIK interests of the ship
pers of this state required action by
this commission before the inter-
state commerce commission, al
though the adva to which
vu refer had been In force over
one year when your "Democratic
Ftato conferen ne" was in session.
Thla sudden solicitude tor the shlp
nt' our state, considered in i on*
nection with the political aspira
tions and salary-seeking attitude of
th"st- gentlemen, rxcib s suspicion
and suggests the thought that they
are more familiar wil h ti' ■ ■! ■ ilres
and n of political office
ra than witli the requirements
and interests of shippers. VVh.\
these gentlemen not appear at the
meetings held by this commission
In the towns in which some of
them live I.'
Sn.ee last May this commission
has held sessions in fourteen of the
principal county seats of this stale,
namely, Bacramento, Redding,
Marysvllle, liureka, Fresno. Stock
ton, Bakersfli Id Los Angel ■-, :-',in
Diego, San Bernardino, Santa Bar
bara, San Jose, San Francisco and
Oakland. These meetings have
been advertised in Ban Francisco
and local papers and shippers re
quested to present any matters of
which they had cause for complaint
or desired Investigated. Many com
plaints were presented and matters
adjusted at these meetings, but at
no time was there any complaint
made of the advance in rates re
ferred to in the communication of
your committee. Not only has this
commission never been reqUi ted
to bring an action before the inter
state commerce commission, but
prior to the action taken by the
canners' convention in this city on
January IS no intimation has ever
come to this board that such ac
tion was considered advisable;
whereas, as is well known to the
signers of your communication, im
portant shipping interests in this
state have earnestly advised
against such a course. This advice
has at all times referred to rates
generally and not to rates or
rial commodities; therefore, when
this commission learned that the
canners' in convention assembled
had passed a resolution requesting
this board to institute proceedings
before the federal commission to
investigate tho transcontinental
rate on canned poods, the matter
was at once called to the attention
of the attorney general, with the
request tint suit be brought, The
papers are being prepared, t!,o nec

feet before the advance displays
an oversight on the part of the gen
tlemen Who signed your communl
cation <>r a lack of familiarity with
the decisions of the interstate com
merce commlssidti, as that body
has frequently decided that only
interested shippers can maintain an
action for reparation or refund.
This, as the eminent gentlemen
who signed your communication
must know, is in line with the de
cisions of our stale courts in the
matter of suits for damages, With
reference to bringing a blanket ac
tion covering all rates, this com
mission is arranging for meetings
to be held in various parts of the
state in which all parties in Inter
est will bo invited to participate,
to t!i.' end that the commission
may know the wishes of the ship
pers and the people be advised "f
the attitude of the commission and
the reason therefor. As to the ref
erence contained in your communi
cation to the "inactivity" of this
commission, it need only be said
that oven a cursory investigation
would probably have suggested the
wisdom of omitting that statement,
unless, at this commission believes,
it was made by the Democratic of
fice seekers who signed your com
munication for political effect.
The commission announces in
conclusion that it will at all times
heed the needs and requests of
shippers of this state, but will at
no time be coerced Into any action
by the threats of those whose in
terest In the welfare of shippers
Beeras to be s strikingly coinci
dent with what they appear to re
gard as their opportunity for po
litical preferment. As to your In
timations with refe ence to com
binations as between rail and water
carriers, which are vague and in
definite, the commission believes it
is justified in asking you for some
thing more specific, and will wel
come any Information which you
can give it that will justify action
with reference to this important
matter.
This commission expressly denies
that it is in sympathy with the
shippers of one section of our state
as against the interests of the
shippers of another section. The
Interstate commerce commission
has frequently had the wost-bound
rat"S before it for consideration
Without declaring that it was an
unreasonable rate; the east-bound
rate is in no instance more than
tli'- west-bound, in some instances
less, with other advantages in fa
vor of east-bound rates, among
which may be mentioned the fol
lowing: There are ninety-four
(94) points on the Pacific coast
which take terminal rates from the
east, there are eighteen hundred
and twenty-eight (IS2S) points on the
Pacific coast which take terminal
rates on east-bound shipments. It
may be that on certain specific
commodities which have peculiar
circumstances surrounding- them
the east-bound rates may be suc
cessfully questioned. It would ap
pear that this has been done in
the case of tin 1 Oregon lumber rate
Ithough that case is now on
appi tie supreme court
and has not been decided.
As before stated, the commission

11. P. LOVELAND,
THEUDOIiE SUMMERLAND,
«'ommissioners.
The following is the letter to
th" railroad commissioners by the
memb-rs of the Democratic state cen
tral committee:
Ban Francisco, Jan. 11. 1910.—The
Honorable, the Board of Railroad
Commissioners, San Francisco —
Gentlemen: At a meeting of the
Democratic Btate conference held
at San Francisco on Saturday, Jan
uary s, 1910, the undersigned com
mittee was appointed tor the pur
pose of causing complaint to be
tiled with the interstate commerce
commission against the increase of
freight rates in California, which
took effect about January 1, 1U09;
and also for the purpose of mak
ing complaint against the unlaw
ful combination that exists betwei n
gome of the railroad and steamship
lines doing business in California.
r the terms < f the interstate
v of tin' United States
the railroad commission of any
slate is authorized to make com
plaint to the interstate commerce
immission against any common
carrier that attempts to collect un
reasonable and oppressive rates;
and according to section ii'a of an
act of the California legislature
approved March 19, 1909 (Stat. 1909,
page 513), your commission is "au
thorized and directed when public
interests require to file petitions
for investigations, or complaint or
complaints, with the interstate
commerce commission, and to files
such suit or suits, In tribunals or
courts of competent Jurisdiction as
are permitted under the terms of
what is known as the interstate
commerce i;-t complaining of any
thing done, or omitted to be done,
by common carriers subject to tho
provisions of t:.e interstate com
t. Bald board is also
hereby authorised and instructed
to file petitions for investigations,
or complaint, or corn plaints, and to
commence such suit or suits in
tribunals or courts of competent
jurisdiction, complaining of the
order, or orders, of any transcon
tinental railroad company, or other
common carriers, either railroad or
steamship, raising freight rates, or
entering into contracts or combi
nations to raise or maintain rates,
or to take any action that will pre
vent competition to and from or
to or from California points to
points in the United States outside
of California."
In addition to the foregoing pro
visions of law, the legislature- at
it lust session directly referred the
FUbJeet of the unlawful increase in
and the alleged illegal com
binations between common carriers
to your honorable board for action.
That the Increased transporta
tion rates are unreasonable, unjust
and oppressive, and largely in ex
cess of a fair and remunerative.
return upon the Invested iapital of
tic transportation companie! seems
to be universally conceded, and
prompt and effective, action look
ing to the restoration of reasonable
and reparation for the un
lawful charges already eon
is Imperatively demanded. Uut
much as your commission is
daily charged with the duty of
Initiating proceedings to act aside
unreasonable rates, tho under
■lgned committee is of the opinion
th t before causing complaint to
be filed with the Interstate com
merce commission I rough other
channels this contemplated action
should be tlrst brought to your at
tention, in the hope that your
board may speedily inaugurate the.
proceedings that are necessary for
the protection Of the people Oi this
State. We would respectfully re
mind you that the increase of
freight rates, amounting on all av
erage to about :0 per cent, has been
Cted for more than one year;
and representing a considerable
body of California citizens, we feel
that we are justified in requesting
an explanation of the silence and
inactivity of your board upon a
subject of such general im; or.anco.
The committee will postpone fur
ther action until yon have been
given a reasonable time in which,
first, to state your reasons for hav
ing failed to make complaint
against the offending transporta
tion companies; and. secondly, to
inform us what action, if any, you
Intend to take for tho correction
of existing transportation abuses,
and the restoration of Just and
reasonable rates in this state.
Please direct your reply to John
F. Murray, secretary of Democrat
ic state central committee, room

Very respectfully yours.

6 per cent for them.
In a year's time, 6 per cent on your savings, instead of 3
or 4 per cent, makes quite a difference. Take the amount
you are now saving monthly and figure how much more
money you would have if last year your savings had.earned
5 per cent.
We offer the small saver, as well as the large one, many
advantages over other forms of investment. Your money .
may be withdrawn at any time, and the principal is safe
guarded by our more than $2,500,000 Assets, and a special
