Commissioner from the Second dltvj trlct 1 Jhe debate was abort Clark expressed himself a little warmly at two stages of the proceedings and charged Ills colleagues with an endeavor to make i political capltalout of the situation wUctUheyaa promptly disclaimed The resolution as adopted provides for an Immediate redaction of 8 per cent In the Southern Pacific Companys grah tariff thfc abolition of vdiscrfml nationl and anaverage reduction of 23 per a cent within the State on all com modlty rates of the corporation The Commission will now have several weeksfof close application to work in framing schedules to conform with the resolution At the opening of the session of the Commission yesterday a supplemental petition to one previously forwarded by worklngmen of Sacramento protesting against the proposed reductions with an accorananrliur letter of ex gM plana tion from George 17V Flcks was read1 The question Is now on the adoption Of the amendment proposed by Dr Stanton to the original resolution Introduced by ttyselr said Chairman La Rue Commissioner Clark asked Jf the vote was to on the proposition to reduce rates on an average 25 per cent and was Informed that such was the resolution before the body I have thought the matter over care fully and 1 have committed an explanation of my vpte to writing said Chairman La Rue Thereupon he Troceeded to read as follows Having voted yesterday or a reduction upon grain rates of 8 per rent upon the question as dl videL at the euerestlon of Commissioner Clark now oem It only proper to say a few words explanatory of tnyrote upon the rtit or mmusiontr Stantons resolution 1 declined to take the iieOge nought to iminncu upon rae ior an avtrage re eduction In freight rates of per rent and my reasons for so dofnz wr that at that time I had no entlklent Information OH the subject to enable mo to pledge xnyseii to a reduction whtiti might be unjust to the railroad ronnration ta be affected by our action That the rates of freight and fares in this State as exacted by the Southern Iaclflo Company ever since its organisation and now have been grossly oppressive is known to every Intelligent man In the State especially to those who like myself hare traveled constantly and made large shipments over their lines I am of the Opinion that the earnings of the rauroaa lines of the Southern Pacific ertem in the State of California are suffl lent to pay their operating expenses inalnfenanceand a fair rate of interest upon their real value and legitimate coat he statements made and the testimony taken during this Investigation by those connected with the company concerning jne saie or Donas cost or moving freight and other expenditures were indefinite unsatisfactory and evasive but from the information so obtained I am of the opin ion mat a reaueuon or percent inclu I sive of the reductions made the 1st day of December ISM will not be uniust or op pressive For a great many years the shippers of this State not only the farmers but shippers of merchandise to the Interior hae been subjected to a system of exaction and extortion which has been the auwect of constant complaint As I nn derstand Dr Stantons resolution it Is an average reduction of freight rates on all Classes or freight of 25 per cent It seems to ma that fairness to the railroad com pany Justifies this reduction and Justice to the oppressed freight payers of this State imperatively demands it A constant threat has been ni in ihi i ana other Commissions as a Board and through the public press that If ever reductions were made which were not satisfactory to the railroad company that our acuon Houiu i reviewea in me courts I Of course wo cannot anticipate what the i motion of the courts may be but con at least put the machinery of this Cora i mission in motion to the end that the In-i tention of those who framed the Const I tntlon and otthe people of this State who aaopiea it mar earned into effect Satisfied as I am now that such reduc tions are legal and Just I shall notwith standing my presentvote always hold ifii elf in readiness to change Drjtttore any Tate which change of circumstances or runner evidence may convince me araun tiust to therailroad company I fully re alize the fact that we owe not only a duty to the people but to thecorporatlon itself and standprepared to perform mine to either party whenever the occasion should 1UifV lt I therefore announce that uoon Dr Stan tons resolution for a reduction of 3 per oenf I shall vote aye and trust that wa i may anoruyDe aoie to prepare a scneauie ana put these new rates In force 1 cannot support the resolution said Commissioner Clark After i thorough examination of the matter tacaref ul consideration of rates and re celpts I might vote for such reduc tions but I cannot and will not com kxnU myself beforehand Clark kidded that he toad been 1Jn formed by competent attorneys that a similar action by a Board of Railroad I Commissioners in Texas td that contemplated here had not been sustained iby the courts The rauroaa company 4 had not been notified to appear before the Board and a legal question as to thr valldltys0f the Commissions acta might therefore arise tt TThe companyhas had a hearing for three weeks suggested La Rue The hearing applied to grain rates Biuy replied dark But the whole ground was covered protested La Jtue -Clark declared that he was nominated on a platform which did not pledge him to do more than Ws honest duty jllls was a party of protection bat it ata pt ask him to act Before making an investigation Jl the Democratic party had pledged its nominees to a 25 per cent reduction and ir the Democratic press was hounding hlscolleagues to eep that pledge he was bound by no fich obligation La Rue interrupted to say that he had a decUned to take that pledge Proceeding- tiarK said If after a careful Investigation 1 find JJiat rates ought to be reduced I will vote to make reductions where such shouldVbe made Ifold my people when Bominatea tnat i would notvote to con fiscate railroad property 1 believe that reductions ought to be made and I will vote to make them where necessary The questlorf noweems to betSball I uphold the Democratic platform or the rights of the shippers and carriers La Rue declared that the Question was not a political one and that the Democratic platform did not enter intdTir 2 Stanton stated lhatjt was his honest belief thatireductlons could be made It it was found that the reductions pro uosediwere unjust anu unreasonable the railroad could make such a showing before the Commission ana any mistakes could be rectified It was not hla intention to do an injustice He be lievedthat the pledge exacted by the Democratic party was a Just request of Itxcandldates bat if was not bis pur pose to discuss the political situation at the present time Dennis Kearney asked If there was any objection to hearing him in behalf ortne woraingmen tWe are now in the midst of a ballot said La Rue This is not a time for such discussion Clark again declared his willingness to vote for a reduction in rates after a thorough investigation The roll was called and the resolution to reduce the freight rates of the South em Pacific Company an average of 25 per cent was adopted La Rue and Stan ton voting in the affirmative and Clark in the negative As the 8 per cent reduction In grain rates and an average reduction of 2S per cent in general commodity rates had been adopted separately La Kue proposed that the resolution be now adopted as a whole Clark made objection How can I vote upon It as a whole he asked I cant split my vote Then vote against It saldLaitue I dont want to vote against the 8 per cent reduction persisted Clark It Is the unfortunate position in which you happen to find yourself re plied La Rue who added that It was tne proper parliamentary proceeding to voteupon the resolution asa whole and that he was merely following legislative precedents Clark declared that he would appeal from the decision of the chair it the ruling should be that the resolution must be voted upon asa whole Stanton declared that he had no wish to see Clark placed In the false light of voting against the 8 per cent reduction In grain rates by forcing him to vote upon the whole resolution containing other reductions to which he was opposed La Rue declared that the resolution would beconsldered as adopted by the separate ballots A question arose as to the application of the 8 per cent reduction where fractions of a cent resulted Martin attorney for the railroad suggested that the figures in the reductions end either in 5 or 0 for the purpose of convenience and illustrated his suggestion by declaring that the decimal result should be taken in this way If the new ratio in any instance should end In 2 or 8 the figures hould be made to end in 0 it trended In 3 or 7 then It should be made to conclude with The Commission accepted the suggestion La Rue and Stanton had a little conference between themselves and It was announced that the new schedules would be arranged in executive session and be adopted In open Board meetings There was a question whether the railroad would make up the new schedules for the Board but it was thought that this could not be asked of the corporation An adjournment was then taken until 1 oclock Tuesday afternoon Following the adjournment a question arose as to the time when the new rates should go Into effect A Clunle who has acted as Commissioner Stantons adviser contended that they were In effect now The Commissioners thought that such a decision would be an Injustice to the railroad and that the new schedules should first be printed and the railroad be served with a copy and notified to apply the rates within twenty deys after such service Commissioner Stanton stated that the work of arranging the grain sched ule should be completed by the end of the week Later in the afternoon the members of the Board had an informal discussion among themselves Commissioner Clark taxed his colleagues with political play In their action upon the resolu tion to reduce rates 23 per cent The ar gument waxed warm and according to Commissioner Clarka version Commissioner La Rue expressed something of regret at having voted for the Stan ton substitute He Is quoted as having said that he was doubtful as to the wisdom ofhls course and intimated that he was not altogether pleased wltit the way eventshad shaped themselves and his own action in supporting Commis sioner Stanton Commissioner La

to this matter as It primarily lnvilves the repair of school houses and that the Board of Health can do nothing to fix the buildings ment of the Southern Pacific Company will be prepared to throw the wholp matter into court and to fight for a Judicial declaration that the whole proceeding is Illegal The attorneys who look after the legal affairs of the railroad company do not hesitate to say that the reduction in rates which the Railroad Com mlsston proposes to put Into effect till force the company to fight for Its rights in court In lust what manner the matter will be thrown Into the courts they donotsay Herrin chief counsel of the law department of the Southern Pacific Company In speaking of the matter yesterday said he was not as yet prepared to advise what action should best be taken It is understood however that the Court will be asked to restrain the Commissioners from enforcing the rates established on a showing that the reduced rates would prevent the company from meeting Its expenses The Supreme Court of the United States decided In the cases of the Texas roads against the Texas Railroad Commissioners that a re duction in values such as would pret ent a railroad from meeting Its expenses is illegal and it is said that Secretary Lansing will be relied upon to prove that such a reduction as Is proposed by the California Board or Railroad Commissioners would have that very effect Commissioner La Rue Is not as well satisfied as the Southern Pacific officials that the reduction can be upset in court I do not believe he said yesterday and neither does any one else that a reduction of 25 percent in freight rates will deprive the Southern Pacific Company of its means of subsistence I We all know that the road can still be operated with profit It would accordingly seem that the success or failure of the company to upset the action of the Commission In court depends largely on the ingenious methods of Secretary Lansing and the traffic officials of the company of proVlngr something which is very difficult of belief The first move of the Railroad Commissioners toward putting Into effect the reductions which have been decided upon will be to systematically revise the grain tariff The horizontal reduction or 8 per cent means a reduction of 8 per cent in all grain rate within the State and It will take some days for the Commissioners to revise the tariff on these llnes Twenty days thereafter the rates will go into effect unless the Commissioners are restrained by an order of court The Southern Pacific Company will make Just as vigorous a fight over reduction in grain rate as It will over the 25 per cent reduction on all other Items of merchandise so that there is a prospect of an interesting legal fight between the Southern Pacific and the Railroad Commissioners in the near future A Southern Pacific official In speaking of the matter yesterday afternoon said the Railroad Commissioners were pursuing a very unwise course in making a horizontal reduction In grain rates for the reason that it afforded the railroad company an excellent opportunity of having the whole proceeding nullified The rates qn grain in various localities in the State he said are governed by water competition and are already ax low as the farmers could wlsru To reduce these rates per cent 1 would oe requiring tne railroad company to haul grain at less than cost and this would vn ever stand In court Commissioner La Rue has no fear how ever of an adverse decision i Traffie Manager Curtis of the Traffic edible pea grown from seed found

crew James Brlen and six of his men who had been conducting a commercial station at Sand Point for the Lynde Hough Compan Nothing was heard of the vessel or her crew until the latter part of March 194 when her upturned hull was found on the shores of Bank Island Alaska by a searching party headed by Mrs Hazelton a sister of James Brien who took passage on the steamer at Sand Point The only evl dence of the fate of the crew that was found by the searchers was that possessed by some Indians living near where the wreck was discovered This evidence consisted of a vest which had been slashed three times with a knife and which was stained with blood on the Inner side and a torn coat with blood stains upon the collar and a bul let hole In the back Mrs Hazelton recognized the vest as one her brother wore when she last saw him alive The coat was Identified as belonging to Captain Marzovia Brown who commanded the schooner Mary Brown From the evidence of the bloodstained clothing Mrs Hazelton concluded that her brother as well as Captain Brown had been murdered for one of two reasons Either to enable the crew to gain possession of the vessel and her cargo or make room for themselves In the schooners long boat when leaving the wreck Since then both these theories have been exploded and another has been advanced which Implicates Louis Sharp an ex convlct who had served two ears In San Quentln for a murderous assault upon James Brlen at Sand Point and who is supposed to have returned to Alaska after his release But the mystery of It all has been more than ever deepened by a letter received from Alaska a few days ago by Mrs Hazelton who lives at 420 His street In this clt The letter conveys the news of the finding of the Mary Browns long boat In apparently good condition at a point many miles from the scene of the schooners wreck The letter is from the wife of Moyon superintendent of the Unga mine at Unga Alaska That part of the letter which refers to the finding of the boat reads as follows The boat from the Mary Brown was ficked up last winter on Montague island you consult a map you will find this island south of Prince William a sound and a long distance from Banks island Sjere the schooner was found We saw boat at Koyok as we came over When picked up she was very little damaged It is Incredible that such a little boat rmiid drift such an enormous distance and what a tale It could tell if it could only speak The question now Is What has become of the crew of the Mary Brown Did they murder Marzovia Brown and James Brlen wreck the schooner and escape safely In the long boat or did they suffer a common death with Brown and Brlen In the wreck of the schooner by stress of weather What Mrs Hazelton desires to know Is how the long boat of the Mary Brown could drift so many miles away from Bank island and be found fully a year after the date of the reck in very good condition She ould like to know whether her brother was murdered by a mu tinous crew or by his old enemy Louis Sharp The one great object of this little woman life is to find the cause of her brother death She has satisfied herself that he is dead and that belief is the result of the Investigations she made In the waters of the North Pacific ocean for some clew to her brother fate The story of this brnve womans ef forts to find traces of the schooner Mary Brown and how she finally succeeded was told In the issues of the Chronicle of April 1 and April 28 1894 The news of the loss of the Mary Brown was communicated to the Secretary of the Navy as late as January 1894 and the revenue cutter Wolcott was sent out to look for her After a few days cruising up and down the main sailing route In the vicinity of Sand Point the cutter reported no results Then some Indians came to Victoria and reported the wreck of a schooner on Banks Island Mrs Hazelton heard of It and at once determined to reach that island She went from here to Victoria enlisted the Interest of the Dominion Government which gave her letters to the British authorities at Port Simpson where she arrived some time later on the steamer Danube The Dominion Government cutter Vigilant was placed at her disposal and a cruise was made to Bank Island The wreck of the Mary Brown was found and Mrs Hazelton returned to San Francisco without having found her brother but satisfied of the manner of his death and bringing with her the ead memorials of his last cruise A STAMP MYSTERY SOLVED PALO ALTO AXO STAFFORD WERK ISXCITED now at poeer nioniler Care an Editor lampa
