ALTURAS SHIPPERS
FIGHT FOOD RATES
Complaint Against Western Pa
cific Is Heard by Rail"
road Commission
Tariff on Syrup, Sugar, Flour
• and Canned Goods Subject
of Inquiry
The complaint of certain shippers of
Alturas against . the Western Pacific
railway was heard yesterday before the
state railroad commission. The full
board. ■ consisting of Commissioners
Loveland and Gordon, was In
'ttendanee. The case was submitted
and decision will be rendered later.
The complaint. is directed again cer
tain commodity rates between San
Francisco and Alturas. Instituted by
the Western Pacific tinder a recently
amended tariff. The new rates con
tained reductions for the most part,
but in certain instances provided for
tdvances. It is against these advances
that protests have been entered.
Special objection was made to the
new rates on such articles as syrup,
sugar, flour and canned goods. The
syrup tariff had been $1.65 per 100
pounds. This was decreased to 75
cents, but raised under the amended
schedule to 85 cents. Sugar,* which had
carried a rale of $1.65, was dropped to
SO cents and later moved up to 90
cents. Flour was cut' from $2.25 to
75 cents and then raised to 81 cents.
Canned goods, reduced from $1.65. to
90",', cents, has been placed at $1.05.
HANDLED BY TWO ROADS ' ..
Senator Shanahan appeared for the
Alturas shippers and Attorney Matthew
for the tVestern Pacific,
It developed that the freight from
here to Alturas is carried as far as
Doyle and Legan on the Western Pa
cific and'from there to destination on
the Nevada, California and Oregon
railway. For its part of the haul the
latter line received 40 per cent of the
full tariff.
H. M. Adams, freight traffic manager
of the Western Pacific, was the only
witness examined. On behalf of the
Western Pacific the argument was ad
vanced that freights- had been generally
lowered and conditions Improved
through Its entry into the mountain
country. This fact was admitted by,
Phanahan for the protesting shippers.
Following this hear ing the commis
sion held a brief session. Many of the
complaints against Well Fargo were
presented, but put over to the general
hearing on express rates. At that time,
it la under stood, the rates of the
Globe and American express companies,
as well as those of Wells Fargo, will be
reviewed.
DEMURRAGE ALTERED
An alteration was made in the de
murrage rules so as to remove the
benefit of time extensions from those
shippers, who do not make use of cars
previously ordered.
The Contra Costa county boulevard
case was put over to await the ruling
of the superior court.
The shippers of Bakersfield and
Fresno were given the right to Inter
vene in the San Joaquin valley rate
case as far as main line traffic, is . con
cerned. .. -r:.'"', ■'. X- ;;..':.>"';
E. A Ho**nbeck appeared for the San
Diego and Cuymaca railroad, asking
that his company be not compelled to
force the collection of. demurrage
charges against Its sheppers. He also
asked for a ruling as to the legality
of special real estate tickets Issued by
his company. Both matters were taken
under advisement and will be referred
to the attorney for the commission.
An amended tariff of. the .Southern
Pacific, applicable to Imperial valley
points, placing fuel wood at $2.50 a
ton, was accepted. The rate of $6.75
on fenceposts was rejected.
The case of M. S. Currier against
Walls Fargo* claiming discrimination
on clam shipments from Oceano. was
set for hearing at San Luis Obispo on
April 25.
WOMAN ARRESTED
AS AN EMBEZZLER
Theresa M. Peters, Bookkeeper,
Accused of Taking Funds of
Alder Sanatorium
Defiantly denying her guilt of two
charges of embezzlement lodged
against her. Miss Theresa M. Peters,
i former book keper of the Adler san
atorium, issued a statement from her
cell at the city prison yesterday that
her former employers are persecuting
her. According to the charges sworn
to against Miss Peters, she carried on
a systematic peculation of the funds
of the sanatorium. She Is specifically
charged with having failed to account
for $363, which she received by cash
ing a check for that amount made
payable to the auditorium and signed
by E. J. Chancelor of Pasadena.
Altogether. Miss Peters is said by her
former employars to have misappro
priated $1,500 or more during her year
of employment with them. The police
believe that her love for feminine finery |
and dainties caused her to spend more
than her income. She received a salary
of $75 per month and lived with her .
Bister, Miss Mary; Peters, a trained
nurse, at the Larchmont apartments, at
1210 Pine street.
.*.. A."Adler, manager of the sana
torium,,'which: is located at Broadway
and Van Ness avenue, says that he dis
charged Miss Peters In March because
his suspicions of her honesty had been
aroused, when it came to his notice
that she had failed to account for
moneys, received as receipts from the
telephone exchange. Later, he says,
the fact that the Chancelor check had
not been • posted - came to his attention.
Also other -bills which debtors claimed
•were paid had not been credited on the
books.'^^gHfljfflXSl
Miss-Peters was confronted, with
these shortages and she denied that she
had ever received * the funds. She ad
mitted having cashed the Chancelor
check and says that the money is ac
counted for in.':the ledger. She says
that, the;difficulty is due to the poor
system of book keeping in force at the
sanatorium. * She r declares >' that*».; the
charge against her is the result of ma
liciousness.
Early during the evening Attorney
J. A. Stephens, who is defending Miss
Peters, secured; her release by furnish
ing $1,200 In bonds.

CONSTIPATION |
ATTACK OPENS ON
FREE LIST SCHEME
j Republicans Question Sincerity
of Democratic Majority in
Offering Measure
| Amendments to Reciprocity Bill
Suggested by Minority
in House
" WASHINGTON. April 18.—Democratic
leaders are prepared for an attempt by
republicans who oppose Canadian reci
procity to J embarrass the democratic
majority in . the passage of the bill by
proposing an amendment'embodying all
the free | list that the . democratic ways
and means committee has prepared.
Republicans have charged that if the
democrats were , In' earnest to have this
free list passed , they would offer it as
part* of the reciprocity '. bill, so' that
President Taft could 1 find :no occasion
to veto it, even though it did not meet
with his approval. ■
Chairman .; Underwood apparently Is
proceeding on the belief that an amend- |
ment will be offered when the bill
comes up for passage. He said that
such an amendment would be, ruled out
of order,, as *It could i not - be . considered
"germane to the bill", under the.house
rules permitting the offering of amend
ments. "yy -" ..''.-■■■:,'"
LIMIT TO AMENDMENTS
The only amendments that can be
considered are. those specifically, affect
ing duties collected in the reciprocity
agreement, and it is expected that on
all such "amendments there will be an
overwhelming negative vote. ■"■
.' An effort is 'to' be made to wind up
the open debate tomorrow night. For
mer Speaker Cannon will speak at the
opening! oft the session tomorrow I and
other speeches are scheduled.-" If Un
derwood Is successful ln! bringing gen
eral . debate' to; a , close tomorrow night
the bill will be brought up for final
consideration, amendment and passage
Thursday.
Henry George Jr. of New Tork, in his
maiden speech in the reciprocity debate,
proclaimed himself a: free \ trader : and
said that -he : had aligned ' himself with
the | democratic party because |he | be
lieved it was the only I great I partys that
was "moving toward the light."
FREE TRADE THEORY INDORSED
George indorsed the Canadian agree
ment as tending toward free trade, and
believed ''" eventually - the United 1 States
would have absolute free' trade with
the; world. ' . _ "
.'. His speech, though closely followed i
by democrats and republicans, did not
arouse any enthusiasm on \. the* demo
cratic side. Later. Pickett of lowa used
George's words to show that the demo
cratic party was urging the reciprocity
agreement in the belief that It would
tend toward free: trade.
y Hflwland of Ohio, Kopp of "Wisconsin
and Gillette 'of . Massachusetts spoke ; in
favor of the agreement.
. In an anti-reciprocity speech, Hamil
ton of . Michigan," republican, quoted
Secretary Wilson - to the' effect that
farmers | get' only' 60 j per cent of what
the consumer pays for farm products.."
