Dickinson At the same tlmn that a telegram was received. yesterday from Congressman James McLachlan stating that hearings on the Pacific Mail steamship cue will •be held before the house •cdmnllttee mi Interstate and foreign commerce on . or before April 20, and that ho consid ered this hearing of exceptional Im portance, there came dispatches from Ban Francisco also emphasizing the im portance of the hearing. ■•«*. Officials of the Panama Railroad com pany while before the senate committed Homo time ago stated that any other steamship copany could obtain tho same terms and division of rates from the Panama company as are obtained by the Pacific Mail company. Relying on this statement, the firm of Bates & Chesebrough, who have a clipper line from New York, around the Horn to San Francisco, opened negotiations with the government to take, advan tage of the Panama route on the same terms as the Pacific Mall, but to make Los Angeles as well as San Francisco. Last night and yesterday telegrams from San Francisco state that the ne gotiations are at an end because of conditions imposed by Secretary of War Dickinson. Secretary Dickinson, while requiring that Bates & Chesebrough put three steamers on the schedule between the Pacific ports and Panama, will not guarantee that the tonnage will bo tak en care of by the federal steamers on the Atlantic side, and Mr. Bates of the firm of Bates & Chesebrough says they would not be justified in assuming traf fic obligations unless this guarantee was made, as well as the guarantee that the Panama railroad will handle the freight across the isthmus. These circumstances are contrary to the impression given by the hearing before the senate committee, which was to the effect that private companies could obtain relief, thereby throwing a damper on the project of establishing a through government service from At lantic to Pacific ports by way of the Isthmus. URGB9 EXPERTS TO ATTEND The testimony presented to the sen ate committee has been printed and will be reviewed by the house committee, but Congressman McLachlan has ar ranged for the presentation of addition al testimony before the honse commit tee, i and ' has I written strong letters to the chambers of commerce of all Pa cific - coast ■: cities ■-, urging .■; ; them;,! t^. send their raont expert traffic men to Washington to testify personally be fore the house committee, explain the real situation, and urge the establish ment of a federal steamship line. Tho receipt of the following telegram urges the necessity for immediate ac tion by the civic organizations and the public: "WASHINGTON, D. C April — Hearings on -Pacific coast steamship line will he had before house commit tee on Interstate and foreign commerce on or before April 20. to suit conven ience of anyone desiring to be heard. I consider . this the most important matter before congress, but the coast people must emphatically assert their claims. to got results. "JAMES McLACHLAN." As a reason for the withdrawal of their independent steamship line pro ject Bates & Chesebrough, In a dis patch yesterday from San Francisco said: "The declsloa was reached by the firm as a result of the refusal of Secretary of War Dickinson to guar antee that their cargoes would be re ceived by the government owned Pan ama railroad and the government owned steamship lino on the Atlantic, after they had been requested to bond themselves to furnish the cargo." ASK RA-ttl! TERMS They Immediately wired an offer to Secretary Dickinson to commence ser vice at once on the same terms given the Pacific Mall company, provided that one-half the space on eastbound and westbound steamers, those operat ed by the government on the Atlantic side, be allotted to the Bates & Chese brough line, but received the follow ing answer from the secretary: "Will give you samp terms and con ditions'as Pacific Mall. Will require efficient service and sailings from you at least every two weeks. Can make no arrangements relative to cargo space." '-».■■ On receiving this telegram Mr. Bates said: "In view of tho statements in this telegram we will have to o.uMt. No one could feel Justified in putting on three steamships to haul cargo down there if he had 410 assurance that it will be received." The railroads Interested In the freight tariffs from the long haul across the continent are evidently de termined to continue their policy of throttling traffic across tho Isthmus, through their creature, the Pacific Mall company, and it Is for this reason that Representative McLachlan urges the Immediate and emphatic presentation to the house committee of their side of the case by the Pacific coast ship pers.

HANDCUFF STAINS SUGGEST MURDER Supposed Deputy and Prisoner Disappear from Pullman on Southern Pacific PORTER FINDS WRIST IRONS Tells Police Weird Story of Men Who May Have Figured in Tragedy The police are puzzled by the finding of a pair of handcuffs stained with blood In a vacant seat at the rear end of a Pullman car attached to Southern Pacific train No. 7, which arrived from San Francisco Thursday night. The handcuffs were found by R. Atalere, a Mexican, who was sweeping the car yesterday afternoon. He turned thorn over to Patrolman R. M. Turner, who reported the matter at <ho central sta tion. Investigation led to the dis covery of the Impress of tho heel of a man's boot in the plush cushion of the seat opposite where the handcuffs were found. Negro porters say that two men boarded the train at a station near Monterey. One was small and the other large. Tho smaller man wore an overcoat, In thp pocket of which the right hand of the smaller man, whom the porters took to be a deputy sheriff, was thrust, together with the left hand of the larger man. They occupied seats where the handcuffs were found. At a little station In Ventura county whom the train stopped five minutes the men loft the seat and disappeared in tho darkness. As the train started the larger man entered the car alone and took the seat he and his companion had occupied five minutes before. He de clined to have his berth made up and left the train unnoticed before it reached Los Angeles. The police say the fact that there are blood stains on the handcuffs is evi dence that they were u.sed as a weapon. The blood stains on the Inside of the wrist bands indicate that the hand cuffs were wrenched from their posi tion about the wrists. The fact that the handcuffs were locked also leads the authorities to suspect foul play. MEMBERS OF NEW YORK SOCIETY ARE ENTERTAINED Chamber of Commerce and Fed erated Body Are Hosts The New York society was enter tained by the Federated State socie ties and the chamber of commerce last evening with a reception in the hall of the chnmber. President Joseph Scott welcomed the society on behulf of the chamber. After responding. President Haley of the New Yorkers introduced J. A. Foshay, formerly su perintendent of the Los Angeles city schools and a former New Yorker, as the principal speaker of the evening. Mr. Foshay with due apologies drew several comparisons between Califor nia and the Empire state. "While It is true," he snid. "that three states the size of New York could be laid out on the territory which California occu pies and etlll have 10,000 square miles left over, the mountains of New York would bo regarded as foothills If re moved to the golden west, there, ara some things in which New York's su premacy is undisputed. For Instance, it would take considerably more than three Los Angeles rivers to make a Hudson and convenient and architec turally beautiful as the Arcade station If. the Pennsylvania station Just fin ished in New York is In many respects superior to It."
