16 . THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, MAY 7, 1896. HE HAS BUILT HIS OWN COFFIN W. B. Bradbury Completes the Cheerful Work of Several Years. HAS SEEN THAT IT FITS Designed After the Style of Gar- field’s Casket, but More Substantial. REFUSED AN OFFER TO SELL Made Three of a Kind at Reduced Cost, Solid Bronze, for Him- self and Wives. 'W. B. Bradbury, who lives in a mansion atthe corner of Cahfornia street and Van Ness avenue, has just completed threeof the finest coffins ever made in this coun- that he is willing to wager has not a counterpart in the country and above all will not leak. All the others leak— Flood’s and Fair's and Baldwin's and Colonel Frye’s—all of them, he says, be- cause they are made of granite. Granite has crevices, and he has made his of con- crete, a solid block; used such a propor- tion of cement—one to three—as bas been unheard of in ordinary construction; care- fully selected the granite chips, broken them to proper size, and now as he looks into the littie house he is satisfied it will never leak. The holes, as Mr. Bradbury bluntly calls the catacombs or shelves for the caskets, are amply big, for he remembers the case of Millionaire Garratt who had prepared his own grave, but had taken no thought | of a possible growtn in girth afterward, and so when his body was brought to burial it could not be lowered into it, The mausoleum is a security against weeds, too, and with an absolute deed to the lot, the title of which was made sure after weeks of patient searching and correcting of the records, Mr. Bradbury declares he has ‘‘the dead cinch on the future,” that there can be no hitch in his funeral cere- mony, no plundering of his widow by un- dertakers, nor can his grave suffer greatly from neglect. “T’ll tell you how I came to get into this thing,” said Mr. Bradbury yesterday. *I had a friend, W. H. Mills, a land specu- lator, a lawyer and a Mason. He had ac- cumulated ‘a forfune of some $200,000, which, when he died went to his son, a young man about 22 years of age. The boy was away KEast when his father diea, and the train that brought him back was caught in the snow. he bodv was en- balmed and lay for two weeks before the boy got here. When he arrived I discov- ered him to be compietely broken down with grief. A suggestion that the funeral take place on Sunday—he arrived Satur- day—shocked him. 1 prevailed, however, and we rushed things a little, for nothing had been done. I took him to a casket works and he picked out a coffin. *What was the price?’ ‘§375,” said the man, who telephoned to the City for a hearse, and the body was properly hauled to the side of the grave. But when they undertook to lower the coffin they found that it was much too long for the hole. “‘Garratt had grown much stouter after he was measured for his grave, and the un- dertaker, not wishing to make a short, dumpy coffin, had lenzthened it out in proportion until it was too long for the ?ruve, that, as I say, had been walled up. t could not be stretched and so it became necessary to postpone the interment, and the body had to be taken back to the re- ceiving vault. We looked around for the hearse. It had been dismissed and was no- where to be seen. There was no alterna- tive; we had to put the body of Garratt into a cart to haul it back to the vanit. “‘Then there was_the case of young Me- Pherson, who sold his family’s mauso- leum, took out the boaies of his father and mother and others of the family and buried them in $10 graves. “These and a few other incidents of the kind taught me the propriety of making ready for death and making ready right. ‘“‘At the time of the Garratt incident I had not so much as thought of buying a burial lot. My wife said to me ‘Let us stay here and look about.” We did so. We let the carriage go to town while we went up on the hi?l. Colonel Frye’s mausoleum has a beautiful view all over town. We found that the adjoining lot wasnot taken. My wife liked the spot. I bought it. I speni weeks correcting technicalities in the records and so on, so that the title would be perfect. Then I decided to build a mausoleum. I saw that the others built of granite all leaked, as I have said, and I made mine of concrete—one solid block. “I did a good deal of nosing round the cemeteries during the progress of the work. Ilooked through those little peep- holes in mausoleums and saw that the caskets made of iron were often rusted away. There was one 1 noticed had lain there for twenty years, perhaps, and there Wwas a heap ot iron rust on each side— probably had holes in the top, I could not see. Well, I determined that that would R (A et A i i mlfll (] i) T -r% i i ©. ey oA ) A el ez o ~ bl Ly 0 W. B.

One is for himselt, the other is for | nad found out that the deceased was'sorth | his wife, and the third is fora former wife, who has been dead some twenty-eight years. The body of the first wife is, so to speak, the first toenjoy the new and hand- some bronze. It has been disinterred, and inclosed in the casket has been placed in Ms. Bradbury's mausoleum on the hill in the Masonic Cemetery. The otner two coffins are tliere also, awaiting the coming of the other two. The coffins and the mausolenm have been several years under construction, and have in a _measure served as a diver- sion to Mr. Bradbury, who, one time a prominent contractor and millman, re- tired from business several years since. This work of preparation for the inevita- ble is by no means prompted on the part of Mr. Bradbury by any feeling of the im- mediate need of a coffin. There are not many sturdier, healthier or happier men in the City. Certain misfit coffins, certain imposi- tions by undertakers on weeping survivors, certain shallow pretenders in the matter of digging graves, certain shocking ingrati- tudes and weeds and small marking stones ‘where should haye risen monuments, have chanced under his observation in his life- time and caused him to swear by the coffin of Mahomet as well as by the coffin of Bradbury that such things shall not occur in his case. So he went and had himself measured and drew the plans, and gradually as it went along became so fascinated with the work of making his own coffin that he finally not only wrought out what he con- siders the very handsomest in the land, but made three of them. He has made a house for the coflins ——— NEW TO-DAY.

I told he should not rob this boy simply because he had lost his only relative and was grief- stricken, “‘Ltold him that this funeral must be conducted properly and must not cost too much either. 1 asked the price of the cof- fin adjoining the other and which was ex- actly like it, except that the molding had a little different curl to it. It was$125, instead of $375. Then I inquired about the balance of the bill. The embalming, or instance, was charged $25 for the first injection and $100 for a second that was deemed necessary. “ “What professor of chemistry did you have to do this work? I asked. ‘None? Certainly not; one of the hands at $6 or $8 & week did this work. You injected a little arsenic into the veins. Just scratch that $100 off the bill.” And he did 1t with- out a word. ‘‘Now that is the first chapter; but, by the way, I might as well end the story of Mills. ~ Shortly after the death of the father this young man married and six motnhs after that he died. His bride we had great trouble with, We thoughtshe was going to die of grief. She fainted and had h{swrin at home and out at the grave she fell upon the coffin and fainted again. It was really very pitiable, “‘By the young man’s will all the for- tune that old man Mills had labored for and won fell into her hands—a stranger. _““The father and son were laid side by side. Some of us were out at the Masonic burying ground some time aiter the funeral, and we noticed that the work of building the monument which had been proposed was not yet begun, and one of us said he would call'upon the young widow in the City and see about it. ‘‘He did so. ‘Well,’ she said, ‘yes, I did think of building a monument for the two of them; but I guess a couple of markers will do. Tl put up a couple of markers.’ “‘You know what markers are? Those little headstones just peeping above the ground. That was several years ago, and a couple of markers 1s zll that is there to-dng'. “Then I had another friend, W. T. Gar- ratt, the iron-founder and pump-man. He undertook to make provision againstdeath and burial. He bought a lot in the ceme- tery, and became so incensed at the way it was neglected, and the weeds lowed to gather there, that he paved the rface of it with basalt blocks—just ex- actly like that street there. He said he would fix it, so that the weeds, at least, had no chance. He also prepared his rave, had the hole dug and walled up. gli- body, when he died, was taken to the receiving vsult, and when it wax deter- mined to bury it the question arose among the few friends gathered there as to how the body should be conveyed from the vault to the grave. Some one suggested that it be put in one of the cemetery carts. “No,’ another, ‘the body of Garratt shall never be put into & cart.’ Bo they | those caskets. not do. I must make better arrangements than that. I went to see the coffin-maker and asked him the price of a coffin—a good one. He named $5000. I told him it was too much. ‘Who is your undertaker?’ he asked. I told him I had none. ‘Then youcan't get & coffin,’ he said. ‘I'll go somewhere else,’ I said. ‘But you can’t get a coffin anywhere in the United States unless you have an undertaker,’ he said. ‘Why not?" ‘There is a big combine cov- ering the whole country.” ‘But the coffin is for myself. Idon't need an undertaker for a little while,’ I said. ‘Ah, thatis dif- ferent,’ he admitted. “I had him take my measure with plenty ofroom. Then I said, ‘The combine cannot prevent my making a coffir. for myself, 1 guess?’ He agreed that it could not. ‘“‘Then I went to an undertaker whom 1 knew, and I said, ‘Whatis the bandsomest coffin you ever saw? He said that of Pres- ident Garfield. ‘‘He brought out a book and showed me the picture of it. I borrowed the book, and at my home I made detail drawings of the same thing. I took my drawings to a one- time engineer friend of mine and for $125 he made patterns. . “Instead of paying 4 centsa pound for iron I paid 25 cents a pound and got bronze. ~Garfield’s casket is a sort of sheet- bronze neatly put together. Mine is cast in solid pieces. Garfield’s cost $1200. I made three caskets and they cost me al- together §1000. I went Easfand stopped at Cleveland and saw Garfield’s casket. Mine is as far superior to it as Garfield’s is to an ordinary ccffin. ,'‘The three caskets were in the mean- time sent round to theundertaker’sand he put them on exhibition. When 1 returned he said to me, ‘I have an offer for one of I can sell it for as much as all three cost you.’ “Now,” said Mr. Bradbury, “I am a business man and have beer accustomed to turn an honest dollar when I could, but Ldraw the line at this. I said, ‘No, I'll be hanged if I'll traffic in my own coffin.” I refused. “*The mausoleum was complete. I went out with my wife and we had the caskets placed. She said, ‘You can lie there and 1 will lie here, and you can place the other there on the other side.’ So Idid. I bad my first wife disinterred and placed in the new casket in the mausoleum, and the other caskets are there ready. “‘Now, why ain’t that all fl‘ghfi' I tell you, I have seen so much of this work about the dead and about cemeteries. I have seen more shams and frauds there than anywnere. There is a cheat about nearly everything they put under the round. I°have done mine myself, and [ now how it is done. Better than most, I assure you. Why not cremation? No, I never had much fancy for either fire or water.

TO REGULATE CHARGES ONLY. Counsel for the Railroad Says the Validity of Its Leases Cannot Be Attackel Collaterally. Ex-Judge John Garber yesterday con- tinued his argument for the railroad in the intervention suit. As on the previous day much of his speech was directed to explaining why the Pacific railroads constituted one system. Judge McKenna seemed to take a special interest in this proposition and frequently asked the speaker questions. The gist of Mr. Garber's was as follows: *The commission had no authority to inquire into the validity of these cases. The constitution says that the said Com- missioners shall have the power and authority to establish rates for the traus- portation of passengers and freight by any railroad and transportation company. According to the construction of the con- stitution given by the Supreme Court of the State of California the commission was held to be partly judicial, and this construction I maintain must be taken by this court as final. The Supreme Court of this State has decided the organic law of this State to say that by fixing rates is meant fixing just and reasonable rates. ‘“Those constructions of the constitution of California are binding on this court. The answer given to this contention is that those constructions did not refer to this identical proyision. Itis the declara- tion of a princinle in relation to a pro- vision between which and the one under consideration I maintain the most acute metaphysics cannot draw a material dif- ference. Doesn’t it follow necessarily that when the same point arises in regard to a railroad commission it will receive ex- actly the same decision? argument and was compeiled 1o say that these bodies were judicial bodies. Then I take it as a clear question that the Railroad Commission must decide the question be- fore them on its merits. ““Is it true or is it not that in fixing the rates to be followed by any railroad com- pany they must consider the validity of these leases and their title to the property which they held? Can you believe that the constitution intended that when a rail- way commission wished to determine a rate it must go into these nice questions of ultra vires, public volicy and other mat- ters I have been arguing? They had to do with some one who was actually running a road. They are simply to determine what 1s a fair and reasonable rate between the parties running the road and the pub- lic with which they are dealing. It was not the intention to give to_this commis- sion the right to decide this question of | title. They couldn’t decide it. They have | no machinery with which to pass upon | such question. If the railroad commission can’t decide anything in regard to the va- lidity of this lease how can this courton an appeal by that body go further and de- | cide this question ? | The Commissioners have to exercize an | honest and reasonable judgment, and they must fix a reasonable rate. How are they to fix a reasonable rate? They can't go into the question of title. What is the test? Isn’t it the effect of that rate on the whole extent and earningsoi the whole road? They must make it reasonable with respect to that piece of property which they are operating. It may be that the Legislature of the State of California can make some legislation by which some kind of action in rem could be maintained against a certain road. But we are here to consider what has been done, not what might have been done. The power of the State has been put into effect only to the extent that somebody who is running the road is to be regulated, not somebody who ought to be running it. “It was not the intention to give to this commission not only the enormous power of regulating the rates of all railroaa companies operating within their limits, and also the multifarious duties of rezulat- ing these corporations in every regard. The other departments of the State are ample for this. These through proper judicial channels by the wisdom of ages have been always found suflicient. *[ say the commission had ncthing to do with the lessercompanies. They found the Southern Pacific Company in charge of acertain line and they called them be- fore them and regulated their rates. They did not attempt to regulate any other cumpun{. How could they regnlate the charges of a company which bas no road and isn’t making any charges? The thing is absurd. ““The intenuon in forming this commis- sion was not to furnish a substitute for mandamus and other well-known proceed- ings. It was not calculated that they should listen to lawyers talk learnedly of ultra vires and public policy. They were to be plain business men and citizens called together to decide on a business proposition. “The commission, as previous commis- sions have done, acts apon the Southern Pacific Company and upon no other. How is this company going to comply with the mandate of this Board of Com- missioners? The rate as now fixed isun- constitutional if it deals with the roads as a system. When they regulate the system as a system how can you say that you are going to support it on a principle recogniz- ing the system not as a system but as in- dividual coustituent roads? *The Southern Pacific says this action is confiscatory. The State’s position is like that of ‘a trespasser who destroys property without any warrant of law. You propose to impose upon us penalties that will destroy the company and plunge it into bankruptcy. Do we beccme outlaws because ten years after the event some one discovers ' a new point that the State has never insisted upon to take away our property? The rules of equity don’t go that far. They protect the apparent pos- sessor. They do not regard the apparent claims of third parties, A court of equity as much as a court of law will pro- tect the rights of parties. *The Commissioners cannot 2o beyond the letter and the warrant of their author- ity. All that has been given them is the power to control the company in posses- sion. They don’t go into tne question as to whether the company ought to have the road, but whether, having the road, it is charging extortionate prices. The consti- tution and the statutes say, in so many words, that you may regulate the charges of the company. Unless there is relief in a court of equity the penalties must be paid and the results must ensue. This company certainly has a right to complain if the regulation is unlawful. Why will you deny them relief? On the ground that this is an unlawful system? That they have not a good title to their property? "If this system is invalid how can the commission regulate it a ystem? This regulation presupposes and ‘must stand or fall with the validity of the system within the State of California, for it cannot be complied vn::) by any company acting independ- ently.” Judge Garber will continue speaking this morning and will probably b6 able t0 fin- ish his argument to-day.
