Conference of traffic manager and
frefsbt acenta now meeting: at
tbe St. Fraadi hotel, tbU city,
mny discuaii today general
abolition of \u25a0rrltcbtna; charges.
Abolition of the oppressive terminal
switching charge by which the South
ern Pacific company exacts between
?:i>o,ooo snd $300,000 yearly from the
merchants of San Francisco may form
a portion of today's discussion before
the conference of railroad traffic m&na
gers of western and coast roads meet
ing now in daily session at the St.
l'rancis hotel. The impetus to the dis
cussion come by way of a press dis
patch from Tacoma, published yester
riay. in which it was stated that the
• 'Imago, Milwaukee and Puget pound
road had abolished the switching fee
at the Tacoma and Seattle termini on
ali grain shipments.
While It is not known that the
northern switching fees are parallel
to the switching charges at San Kran
\u25a0 <-isco it is believed that there is an
analogy between the two.
.MAY TIKE SUIE ACTION
The dispatch f=aid that it is believed
that the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern roads will take like action
with the Milwaukee road.
VT.. P. Kenney, assistant traffic mana
ger of the Gr*-at Northern, who is in
this city attending the St. Francis
conference, said last night in dis
cussing the report:
' "The item published in the news
papers this morning gave me the first
intimation of the abolition of the switch- )
ingr charpre- 1 can not say now if the I
'movement will extend to other road?. I
have made inquiries on the subject, but
as yet have not learned anything defl
"So far the matter has not come up
in the conference. Bdt on account of
reports from the north, and particularly
if farther information is received, the
matter will very probably form a part
of the discussion at today's session of
the conference." •
If it should develop that the switch
ing charge removed by the Milwaukee
road is the same as the local lucrative
fee demanded of the merchants by the
Southern Pacific, and if the Great North
ern and other Hill lines abolish the
charge generall, it is believed that the
"Southern Pacific may be forced to take
like action. The local switching charge
lias ever been a bone of contention be
tween shipper and carrier, and the
former nave appealed to the interstate
commerce commission to secure its ab-.
rogation.
W. R. Wheeler, traflSc manager for
the Merchants' exchange bureau, and
Seth Mann, attorney for the bureau,
said last evening that all they knew
of the change in the north was what
they had gathered from the press dis
patch.

FRUIT ENDANGERED BY
LACK OF FREIGHT CARS
Growers Fear Serious Loss By
Delay of Railroads
[Special Dispatch to The Call]
MARYSVILLE. July 25.— Several hun
dred carloads of fruit in Sutter, Yuba
and Butte counties are in danger of de
struction by reason of the shortage of
cars with which to ship east. At Grid
ley alone there are ISS carloads piled
up awaiting cars. This will result in
serious injury unless relief is at hand
before another 12 hours pass. The
fruit crop here this year is greater
than ever, and the grower had reason
to congratulate himself until the short
age of cars was announced. ,
LIZZIE MULVEY
WINS THE HONORS
Clever Dancer Shares Glories
at Orpheum This Week
With Schrode
\u25a0 i
Let the honors of the Orpheum thi*
week go to Miss Lizzie Mulvey; for, by |
all the little tin god of laughter, she
deserves them. She appeared like a
whirlwind, flung herself about the
stage In a veritable cyclone of frenzied
dancing: and departed in a atorm of
applause. She. with "Walter Schrode
in a comedy skit, entitled "A Theatrical
Agency," are the new features of the
bill and most refreshing ones, break
ing, as they do, a rather tame and
unpretentious succession of acts.
Such is the saving beauty of the
Orpheum. -There will be a few pre- (
liminary acts which fail to arouse one
to that pitch of enthusiasm to which
we have been educated by the past ex
cellencies of this circuit, and just when
boredom is creeping over us there is a
flush, glitter and laugh and the house
is rocketing with applause. So it was
in this instance. The opening act. of
the three athletic Donals was a hold
over. Herbert. and Willing,. burnj.. face
comedians, who followed, were average;
Julius Tannen, wit and raconteur/was
as good as he was last week, and Griff,
the comedy English juggler, was — Eng
lish. Then into the midst of- these
came Lizzle'Mulvey, and the rest was
told by the applause of the audience.
Sam Watson's farmyard circus, an
other new' feature, was decidedly clever.
It is one of the best animal acts. yet
given on any vaudeville stage. Miss
Lily Lena, the English comedienne,
made her usual hit with her songs. In
this respect she might discard the last
verse of her "I Wonder", song. It was
screamingly funhy,; but just a* trifle be
yond the lines of good taste, and she is
far too clever a little woman to stoop
to the racy to win applause.
The collection of femininity In-.the
Gibson's electrified girl review did not
appear, a day. older than, they did last
week and there was no material change
In their personal appearance.
Tennessee's Pardner
Who does not know the story of Bret
Harte's "Tennessee's Pardner," the
pretty little story ( of the waif
from Smoky mountain? Harte
had many dreams, but they
were all dreamed in the west.
He had no other visions worth while
when he ran into the fogs of London
and became a literary person \u25a0 and
proper. "Tennessee's Pardner" is one
of .his western . dreams, and likewise
one' of his best. . The story" endures
stage treatment with as easy fortitude
as did the .California pioneers with
whom the story deals. It makes a good
play. It is the bill at the American
this week and, barring an unfamiliarlty
with the lines which occasionally made
holes in the.script, yesterday, it should
be 'worth a, two weeks' run. . \u25a0
Charles Swickard, who .handles the
stage, has given the piece an effective
setting and has spent, apparently, much
money to get a Vivid likeness of Sand
hill, Nev.;. for I forgot to say that this
particular ' California story of Harte's
is set in Nevada.

POLICE SAY MAN
WAS MURDERED
Body Found in Sacramento
River Is That of Arthur
B. Leberveau
[Special Dispatch Jo The Call]
SACRAMENTO, July ,'25.— With the
identification of the body found . in
the river yesterday morning as that
of Arthur, B. Leberveau of Mary.sville, a
Southern Pacific car inspector,' the. po
lice have begun an investigation of the
death. They are ;of the belief that
Leberveau was robbed and . murdered
and his body thrown into the river to
hide the crime.
This theory of death is strengthened
by the fact that he had considerable
money when he disappeared arid by the
fact that his pockets were turned in
side ouf and a valuable tie pin was
missing*.
There were no-marks on the body,
however, which would tend' to disprove
the theory of foul play! An inquest
; will be held to decide whether death
was caused by drowning:. :

AGONY OF ECZEMA
BEYOND WORDS
Whole Body a Mass of Raw, Tor-
turing Humor — Hair All Fell Out
and Ears Seemed Ready to Oreo
Off— Clothing Would Stick to
Bleeding Flesh — Hoped Death
Would End Fearful Suffering.
CASE SEEMED HOPELESS
BUT CUTICURA CURED HER
; "Words cannot describe the terrible
eczema I suffered with. It broke oat
on my head and kept spreading until it
covered my whole body. 1 was almost
a solid mass of sores from head to foot.
1 looked more like a piece of raw beef
than a human being. The pain and
agony I endured seemed more than I
could bear. Blood and pus oozed from
the great sore on my scalp, from under
my finger nails, and nearly all over my
body. My ears were so crusted and
swollen 1 was afraid they would break
off. -. Every hair in my head fell out.
I could not sit down, for my clothes
would stick to the raw and bleeding
flesh, making me err out from the pain.
My family doctor aid all he could, but
1 got worse and worse. My condition,
was awful. I did not think I could live,
and wanted death to come and end my
frightful sufferings.
"In this condition my mother-ia-law
b«gged me . to try the Cuticura Rem-
edies. I said I would, but had no hope
of recovery. But oh. what blessed re-
lief I experienced after applying Cuti-
cura Ointment. It cooled tbe bleeding
and itching flesh and brought m« the
first real sleep I had had in weeks. It
was as grateful as ice . to a burning
tongue. 71 would bathe with warm
water and Cuticura Soap, then apply
to* Ointment freely. I also took Cutf-
cura . Resolvent for tbe blood.' In a
short time the sores stopped running.
.the flesh began to. heal, and I knew I
was to get weU again. ..Then th» hair
on my bead began to grow, and tn »
short time. I was completely cured.
1 cannot praise Cuticura enough. I
'. wish I could tell everybody who haa
eczema to use Cuticura. My condition
was so terrible that whak cured m*
cannot fail : to cure anybody of this
awful disease. ~: If anyone doubts the '
truth of this letter, tell them to write
to me. : Mrs.Wm. Hunt. 135 Thomas
