Hays Declares a Railroad Interests of the People Who Are Its Patrons and at the Same Time Prove to Be a Money-Making Proposition Special Dispatch to The Call. 08 ANGELES, Jan. 4.—“How will I run the Southern Pacific Railroad—as a railroad or a political machine? As a busi- ness proposition, most assuredly. The road will cater to thes people first, last and all the time, and no discrimina- tion will bs shown; but I shall never forget that my first duty is to the stockholders of the railroad. A rail- road can subserve the interests of the people and at the same time be a money-making proposition. These two things I shall endeavor to do as long as I continue as president of the Southern Pacific.” These were the words of Charles M, Hays, the newly electcd president of the Southern Pavific Raiiroad system, whe passed through Los Angeles this morning. He is on his way io San Francisco to take un the reins of office. A broad-shouldered man of medium height, about i years cf age, with clear, gray eyes, square, firm jaw covered by a heavy brown beard—such a man in ap- pearance is Mr. Hays. He has a low- pitched, clear voice and an easy manner in conversation, but underlying it all Is the forceful, determincd air of a man who Is born to command. He is a self-made man, one who has forced himself up to the eminence he now occuples by work— hard work and plenty of it. This does not appear in his conduct toward strangers—quite the reverse. He is ready and willing to listen jatiently and attent- ively to the words vf any person with whom he is in conversation. In answering questions he arrives at the subject at gnce and his replies are in few words an@l to the point. Mr. Hays was guard>d in his replies to questiol without being evasive. He waa i up time to an interview which uld have been spent in other ways to llent advantage, vet he never gave any sign that he wished the conversation brought to a close. Vice President Stubbs and General Manager Kruttschnitt were standing a few feet away in the gardens of the Arcade depoi. They manifested their impa ce in several ways and finally Mr. Stubbs incorposed the remark | that the time for departure was drawing near, but Mr. Hays juietly replied that he wanted to know and be near the people of California and as is fi introduction was through the newspapers he was glad to give his time to the newspaper men. “los Angeles merchants think they have been discriminated against in the matter of freight rates to certain points,™ continued. *“‘What will I do with the ? Well, really, that is a.difficult n to answer, but you may say to ople of this city that it is my in- ention to treat all the interests of the with fairness “The interests of the people and the interests of the railroad are iden- tical at all times.

Is there anything in San Diego which warrants buflding an- other railroad to that point?” Before answering a question in regard | to the Galveston terminals, Mr. Hays warlly asked If that port was considered competitive with San Pedro. On being assured to the contrary, he smiled and replied that the work was being pushed with all possible dispatch. “‘One can never be too cautious in mak- ing statements where sectional jealousies exist.” continued Mr. Hays. “There were five lake ports on the railway with which 1 have just severed my connection and every one of the five felt that it wasd en- titled to special privileges. My way out | of the matter was to supply enough busi- ness for them all.” In regard to rumored changes in of- ficlals, Mr. Hays rather dodged the issue. { He refused to confirm the report from Galveston, which stated that no changes | WASHINGTON, Jan. 4—The State De- | partment is making a strong effort to se- cure an understanding among the pow- ers to serve as a basis for the adjustment of the question of indemnity to be paid by the Chinese Governmeént. It appears | from Mr. Conger’s reports that it is hope- less to expect the forelgn Ministers at Peking to reach an agreement on this tm- portant point, and if the problem is to be | solved at all it must be removed from the Peking council and deelt with by direct diplomatic exchonge, as was successfully attempted in the case of the preceding se- rious differences between the Ministers. Therefore the State Department is in correspondence with other foreign offices, respecting this subject, though the nego tiatlons have not proceeded to a poin where it can be said that & successful ter- mination is in sight. The principal differ- ence in the way is believed to be the enor- mous indemnitles demanded by some of the powers. The efforts of the Chinese Government to secure better terms, so far as they tend to protract the negotiations are also expected to have the result o adding considerably to the sum_total which must be paid in the end. This is because the expenses of maintaining the foreign military establishments in probably will be assessed against the Chi- nese Government, and the cost of Keepin, foreign troops in Peking at this season o the year, and in a counlrg where every necessity of life has to be transported | from a distance, will make the bill very heavy. It is belfeved that the bill of Ger- | many will be by far the largest, and it is a significant fact that the German Gov- ernment has allowed its officers on service in China five-fold their regular salaries, a rate of pay hitherto unknown in mili- tary history. The Chinese, however, are | expected to pay for this. 'he attitude of Russia in Manchuria has tches, a series of regulations v:omuln!ed by the Russian Government for the administration of affairs in China, which would seem to the officials here to warrant an rehension that a per- manent occupation of that territory, with its population of 20,000,000, is contemplated. It is believed that some representations either have been or will be made on this| subject to the powers. When the Russian Government announced its intention to | withdraw its troops from P solemnly declared that “as soon as lasting order shall have been established in Man- churia and indispensable measures taken for the protection of every construction which, according to formal agreement, China assured, Russia will not fail to withdraw her troops from these territo- ries of the nelghboring empire. provided the action of the powers does not place any obstacle in the way of such’a meas- ure.’ ‘The contention of the Russian repre- sentatives here s that the conditions laid down in this pledge have not yet been realized, and they insist that there is | ‘hina | | Can Subserve the L o + — PRESIDENT C.

A. McGuigan of the Grand Trunk would come to the Southern Pa- cific. “When the time comes. for changes I will mdke official announcements. I can say nothing further on the subject.” The special train_bearing the railroad party arrived in Los Angeles at 5:30 o'clock this morning, several hours ahead of time. In the party were President Ha and wife and four daughters, Mrs. ays' sister, Third Vice President Stubbs and two daughters, General Manager Kruttschnitt, R. H, Ingram, secretary to Mr. Hays, and Willlam Martin, secretary to Mr. Stubbs. They were joined at this point by Vice President H. E. Hunting- ton, Chief Engineer Willlam Hood and ALDEPTRY S Y nothing In the printed regulations which would warrant the assumption that Rus- #ia is not acting in perfect good faith in this matter. To clear up any doubt that may remain on this point, however, it is probable that an explicit official declara- tlon from Russia will be invited on this point. . PRSI N TRIBUTE TO BRAVE AMERICANS Lord Lansdowne Praises the Acts of Gamewell and Squires. WASHINGTON, Jan. 4—The Brifish Embassador has communicated to the Sec- retary of State a dispatchrecently recelved by him from the Marquis of Lansdowne commending the gallant conduct of cer- tain Americans who distinguished them- selves last summer during the attacks on the legation quarter in Peking. The text of the dispatch follows: “My Lord: With reference to my pre- ceding dispatch of this day’s date, 1 have to inferm you that Sir C.

BERLIN, Jan. £—With reference to the sk Superintendent Frazer, who came from San Francisco on Thursday on the first train run over the coast road.

The train was met by President Maulsby and other members of the Chamber of Commerce, Mayor Storke and leading citizens. Dur- ing the stop the ladies of the party took carriages and_were driven about the city. Both Messrs. Hays and Huntington talked freely of the new work and future plans. Mr. ‘Huntington sald the freight vards, where tracks are now being lald, would be enlarged and equipped. A roundhouse would be built and this place made a divi- sion station and terminal. Asked as to the time, he said. that the track could hardly be ready for running service this month. Work all along the Jine would be hurried.

AMERICA MAY FORCIBLY INTERVENE IN VENEZUELA Asphalt Lake Concessions. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.—Apprehen- | i ston is felt in official circles that the con- troversy which has arisen over the as- phalt lake ‘concessions in Venezuela may require forcible intervention by the United | States. According to the highest author- | ity, the President has no intention of in- | terfering between the rival American claimants to concessions, but he does not intend to permit the Venezuelan Govern- ment to cancel a concession given in good faith to American citizens and forcibiy dispossess the concessionaries of thefr property until a judicial decision has been rendered in support of this action. Under instructions given to him, Mini ter Loomis is urging the Caracas Govern ment not to attempt to dispossess the New York and Bermudez Company until the Supreme Court of Venezuela has passed upon the pending lawsuits, whicl | nvolve the question In dispute. but un official information received In Washing ton indicates that if the Venezuelan Gov- | ernment insists that it has the right to | dispossess, the New York and Bermudez people, most of whom are Americans and are armed, will resist dispossession. _ In case of an armed conflict, the United States will have to act, and In anticipa- tion of this contingency three warships | were ordered to La Guayra.

During the day the latter amused themselves by marching in a body through the streets of the town, headed by one man bearing the tricolor and an- other playing an accordeon. At first they conducted themselves quietly enough, but later on they grew rather nolsy. March- img in a body to an establishment in Ship | street, where a number of British sailors were collected, the Frenchmen attempted to clear the whole place, but found the task beyond their welght, and were them- selves driven out. Determined on having revenge, they gathered reinforcements and returned to the scene of the gncounter. During thetr absence, however, the Englishmen had had their numbers swelled by the arrival of a crowd of bluejackets and marines, who had learned of what was going on and had hurried to the scene.
