Appellate Court Upholds Prohib
ition Against Liquor Within
Walk of University '
Menlo Saloon Keeper's Convic
tion' and] Sentence to Jail
Is Confirmed
[Special Dispatch to The Call]
Stanford; university, June I.—
The last name has been carved deep in
the table in the back room" of "Charlie
Myers' place." The last 1 stein song hai
been sung-, the last stein drained at one
gulp. The : California district court -of
appeal has done the' job. Charlie Myers
is going into the peaceful pursuit' of
ranching. The far flung- battle line of
Stanford temperance -.now
Menlo Park. Myers' place and all other
saloons in Menlo must close..
\_The appellate court ha« upheld the
state, law which prohibits. the selling of
liquor within one art! a half miles, of
Stanford university. The appeal was
taken by Barney Burke, a .Menlo saloon
keeper, from a -judgment rendered un
der 'the; law by Justice of the Peace
James Hannon of Redwood City. Burke
was convicted "before Hannon and sen
tenced to' 48 hours in the county jafl.
He applied to, Superior Judge Buck for
a writ of habeas corpus. The writ was
denied. Then he-applied to. the appel
late courts and- that court denied - the
writ. So. now he' goes to jail for IS
hours, and his ... contemporary, . Myers,
will have to close up shop. .
Saloon Inspired Singers
Myers has boen a movable feast to
Stanford students. In 1901 he Jocateil
at Mayfield, just an easy mile from the
university. His saloon had aVcommo
dious back room and round tables. On
these tables the Stanford undergraduate
p.iacsd his stein and carved his initials
d«ep into the wood. Famous *_ names
were graven : in tabies, including, those
of "Bill** Irwln, 'Wallace Irwin, "Bill"
Herron, "Jimmy" Lanagan and. other
Stanford ' Students, since "well known.
It was in Myers' place arid of it. that
famous - college ballads 'wereT written.
Such songs. as, "Oh, There's a} Road to
Menlo," "Charlie Myers" arid "One, Two,
Three, Four,'.' had their inspiration
there: ;•
Myers and Kegs Migrated
In 1906 Mayfield Vent dry and 'Myers
and his kegs, migrated to Menlo. .His
vogue continued. During the . "steam
beer wave" Myers' made much money.
Keg parties were held at the famous
fraternity houses and gallons of the
liquid were consumed. Football vic
tories and fraternity initiations were
celebrated in Myers' back room. Since
more drastic temperance laws went
into effect at Stanford there has been
a falling off jOf trade at Myers*, place,
but.he was still strong in the hearts of
the undergraduates and the table tops
with the famous names were objects \u25a0 of
veneration.
Tables Offered to : Museum^B
Myers said today: "V :' intend /always
to keep my table's, for, they are the
pride of my life." It had been reported
that Myers offered the table tops* to
the university -museum, but' the gift
was refused 1 on -account of their asso
ciations with steam and lager beer. ,
The wave of , reform which struck
Menlo and drove out the saloons -was
started by Stanford university authori
ties and prominent citizens of Menlo.
Barney . Burke , was arrested to test the
law, -and. .his conviction will .stand.
Neither Burke;, Myers, 'nor. any other of
the dozen saloon keepers of, Menlo will
further attempt to attack the; law."

RAILROADS SEND
LEGAL ARMY TO
COMBAT RULING
Attorneys for Twenty-five Lines
Will Plan Answer to the
In Meantime Missouri Decision
Holds and Freight Rates
Are Not Advanced
ST. LOUIS, June I.— Within the next
two "days attorneys for the 25 western
railroads temporarily restrained by; the
federal court from freight
rates will; meet: here; tor plan an answer
to the government's suit. It : - was r an
nounced-tonight' by an attorney j for one
of the ' roads that. .Attorney '\u25a0. General
Wlckersham's [petition for a pormanent
Injunction will ha bitterly contested.
The principal -ground .upon which" the
suit will be fought is .the contention
that there is an agreement among the
railroads to advance, rates in. violation
of the Sherman anti-trust law.'.
Agreement Necessary
If i&ny : agreement : at \u25a0 all is admitted
the railroads will j-onteqd that.it is
legal and necessary; because of present
industrial conditions, to protect the in
terests of the goneral public.
.That. the railroads are members of the
western, trunk line committee, an official
said, does not ; indicate? they arc in an
agreement; -. bccau.se the -schedule' of
rates, promulgated by. tire, western trunk
line' committee, is not {.binding on the
defendant members, wijhout tlieir' ex-
press consent. - . "
Tt was stated at various* xailroad head
quartersthat the enjoiueil. rates 'might
have been collected at:' distant "" points
today because rescinding orders had
nothad time to reach them.
Court's Order Obeyed.
The^ "officials, so far.; : a's they: could,"
obeyed' the* court's order, even before
service was made. They were greatly
surprised at the secrecy, with which tl\e
government's petition .was filed and
were unprepared for action.
- -Railway officials ;-:tid ; « that most of
the railrt>ads .ha, anticipated the in
creased rfevenue- from. the ; new- rates
arid' had planned extensive, improve
ments, which probably would be held
up. : :\u25a0 \u25a0 \u25a0\u25a0-\u25a0'\u25a0-.\u25a0 :: />
"One broker in railroad supplies said
tonight- that ; he already had received
several' cancellations of orders from the
railroad companies.
'Frederick N. Judson said tonight ho
had been retained as , special counsel in
the' rate case arid as such would 'be an
assistant -to' the attorney general. -
The railroads may come into court
with a petition to dissolve the restrain
ing order. If they fail in. this the pe
tition of- the government for a* perma
nent injunction w^ll probably come up
July 5, the. date on which the order to
be served byJ marshals tomorrow has
been made returnable! \-

COUNSEL FOR CITY ASKS
FOR LIBERTY TO OPPOSE
[Special Dispatch h The CalT]
JYTASHINCTON. June I.—
yy $ an Francisco's rights at
Lake Eleanor and Hctch
Hetchy are threatened from another
source than the possible revocation of
the Hctch Hetchy permit. The Na
tional Park electric power company has
applied for a right of way and certain
power sites, reservoir sites and canal
rights of way in the Stanislaus national
foresU en the south fork of the Tuol
umne river. If the application of this
company is granted the rights of San
Francisco under the Lake Eleanor-
Hetch Hetchy permit will be impaired,
if not destroyed.
Solicitor Favors Companies
Solicitor McCabe, under whose ju
risdiction such legal matters come, is
said. to be Inclined to favor the devct
opment of water power by private
companies in the order that their ap
plications are, presented, if they are
bona tide,, even if they conflict with
the applications of municipalcorpora
tions. His attitude, it is understood,
is that he will not place a municipal
company above a private corporation.
Special Counsel E. A. Lane, repre
senting Gity Attorney Percy V. Lonj;
of San Francisco, has filed a request
with the secretary of agriculture, ask
ing that copies of all motions and
briefs filed by the National Park elec
tric power company be given to San
Francisco and that the city be given
an opportunity to be heard before the
company's application is decided by
the forest service.
Rights of City Menaced
The .city alleges that its rights
would be impaired by the granting of
the application.
Meanwhile San Francisco's repre
sentatives are trying to learn more of
the National Parkelectric power coni
papy. They, hint that tnis company,
whether actually proceeding with con
struction or not, would be in a. .'posi
tion to make heavy demands upon San
Francisco if . the application were
granted.
Clubwomen for Hetch Hetchy
. Protecting the interests of San Fran
cisco in the Hetch Hetchy water ques
tion: was one of {he important legacies
left by Mrs. E. L. Baldwin, retiring pres-
Identof the California club, to her suc
cessor, Mrs. ;I«ovell W*hlte, Tuesday
afternoon, when she introduced a reso
lution along the Hues of her address
before the -state federatioa convention
in Santa Barbara.
_ Mrs. Baldwin said she had been ap
proached by. at least a hundred women
after her Santa Barbara speech who
expressed surprise at the fact that San
Francisco and others owned land In
the Hetch Hetchy valley and that it
was not altogether a public domain.
. .The resolution provided that the Cal
ifornia'club through the ensuing year
use its best efforts to enlighten the
women's clubs and other organizations
throughout the United States as to the
true status of *San Francisco's rights
in the use of the Hetch Hetchy mead
ows, asking that .those who have pro
tested without such knowledge with
draw the protests if they think it Just
to- do so.i leaving the matter without
prejydic,; In, the hands of the depart
ment»of the Interior and to the final de
cision of the department of justice.
This was passed ; unanimously and
with great applause.
The .reports of the president and
other' retiring officers of the California
club were heard yesterday ' and the
newly r elected officers were Installed.
As a token of their appreciation "of \u25a0
Mrs. Baldwin's two year 3in office \u25a0•and
of ; their afTection for her, Mls3 Eliza
beth Hill, in ' behalf of the club mem
bers, presented Mrs. Baldwin! witn a
handsome diamond brooch, one , large
stone "in the t surrounded ,
by several smaller; one'- She made *
fchamlnsj speecn of presentations
The club then adjourned until .the
'first Tuesday Via Se'ptemb«,
