BAN JOBE, Aug. 5.—There are some ! contemplated changes in the management | of the San Jose and Santa Clara Elec- tric Railway to take place at the annual | meeting of that corporation Wednesday. The road was recently purchased by George and Hugh Center, and it is said Hugh Center will succeed J. P.

OIL RATEST was allowed to leave .the witness stand { until Mr. Krut nnitt could enlighten Mr. Short on ters pertaining to the cost of building roads and the profits from them. Mr. Kruttschnitt Testifies. Mr. Kruttschnitf was asked the cost of constructing the s to tke Oil River district. He brought forth a number of statementz from his pocket, and after consulting one of them an- nounced that it cost $110,000. When asked what the length of the spur track was, he replied that there is a_ track running from the main line to Little Oil City sta- tion, which is ~alled Kern River, which is 6 41-100 miles long, and springing from that line is another track 212 miles in length, making approximately nine miles of track. He was then asked to show how the $110,000 was expended to build this spur, and he read off the following items of expense: Railway, $1650; clearing, grubbing and grad- ing, $11,240; trestles, culverts, etc., $6489; turn- tables, telegraph lines, water tanks and build- ings, $15,910; track material and labor, $58,551; ballasting, $3765; fare and freights, £5709; rental of cars, hand cars and locomotives, $1133; train Service, wages of locomotive men and train men, $897.

CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, ‘ N. W., WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.—Rio Ja- neiro was the scene of serious rioting June 18, according to an official report re- cived by the State Department from Charles Page Bryan, Minister to Brazil. Five persons were killed and 200 were | wounded before quiet was restored. Bryan | says the disturbance was not of a political character and no traces of a revolution- ary attempt against the Government could days. It began in consequence of an in- crease in the fares made by the Sao Chris- terms of a recent contract with the Gov- ernment. Attacks were made on the cars on the | night of June 18 and some of them were | burned. A large body of police succeeded | in dispersing the crowd, but on Sunday | the disturbances were renewed and_ on | Monday six cars were burned in the Lar- | conductor and three brakemen. | Q‘e geo De Sao Francisco, which was finally | cleared by the police after several per- sons_had been wounded. day barricades were built in the Quivid: and other important business streets in the' vieinity of the Largeo de Sao Francisco, and the thoroughfares were kept cleared only by tbe repeated charges of both the cavalry and infantry. Quiet was restored on Wednesday night by an announcement that the company would return to the old schedule of fares. The police aroused al- most 2 universal protest by their reck- lessness and severity, but the only demon- strations against them were entirely un- organized and almost puerile. They were apparently directed, Bryan says, against | the police as individuals rather than as Government authorities. The only legal questions as yet growing out of the dis- turbances have been suits against indi- vidua! policemen for undue violence. Terrific Storm at Randsburg. RANDSBURG, Aug. 5.—There was a tremenodus rain at this place this after- noon, accompanied by terrific thunder and lightning. Half the houses in town are flooded and the streets are badly washed out. three quarters of an hour. The water came down in blinding sheets and rivers of water poured from every hiliside.

PHOENIX, Ariz., ‘Aug. 5.—A message from Prescott says the southbound freight train on the Santa Fe, Prescott and Phoe- nix road ran into a washout at Point of Rock, north of Prescott, this evening.

The witness said it was necessary to have six men on a train and he enumerated the engineer, firemen, He said engineer received from $4 to $4 50 a vy, a conductor $3 50 and a fireman and brakeman $2 50 per day. Mr. Short then | did some figuring and made the witness |admit that this would amount to about $45 per day. The attorney then interro- gated the general manager about coal and oil as fuel for locomotives. Mr. Short read the following passage from a booklet issued by the railroad: The Santa Fe and Southern Pacific rallroads have adopted oil as fuel and are now using about 6000 barrels a day. These two roads have about 600 locomotives in use in California, which are being equipped for burning ofl as rapidly as the supply can be assured. Over 200 locomotives are now using fuel oil, which consume thirty barrels each a day. When the remaining 400 locomotives burn ofl it will re- qguire 18,000 barrels a day to supply them, or about 6.500,000 barrels a vear, which s nearly double the entire production of the State at present. The Santa Fe has reeently made a contract for 750,000 barrels a year for five years at a price sald to be §1 a barrel at the vells. "* Bngines Using Oil.

The reprimand authorized by the court is contained in the following fin- dorsement of Acting Secretary Hackett: “An officer should be deeply mortified by the publication of an order announcing 10 the service the fact of his trial by gen- eral court-martial and a finding that he has been Incapacitated for the perform- ance of duty by reason of indulging in al- coholic stimulants.

He was then asked the amount of coal used by an engine traveling between Bak- ersfield and West Oakland, and he replied petulantly that he had been answering questions in an unsatisfactory way. He stated he was trying to give categorical answers to all questions and had on re- celving the subpena directed his clerk to furnish him with information that was said to be desired. Tf Mr. Short wanted a proper answer to that guestion he would have to send to his office and have it looked up. Mr, Short expressed the de- sire, o a clerk was dispatched. In the meantime Mr. Kruttschnitt informed his auditors that the price for coal paid by the railroad for the Western division was $4 30 per ton and for the San Joaquin divi- sion $4 24 per ton. The cost of running a train_one mile on the Western division was $2 20 and on the San Joaquin division $242. The size of the train on the West- ern division would be twenty-six cars and on the San Joaquin practicaily the same. The witness was next asked the number of tons of coal it takes to fire an engine ° to pull a freight train of thirty cars be- tween Bakersfleld and West Oakland. Mr. Kruttschnitt saild he preferred to answer this question correctly, and Mr. Sproule obligingly went to the office and had the matter looked up. Mr. Kruttschnitt, on getting the data, answered that twenty- four tons of coal would be needed and that this would cost about $100, This he based on the average cost of coal on the Western and San Joaquin divisions. Cost of Running Trains. Attorney Short interrogated the witness along these lines for the purpose of show- ing the Railroad Commissioners that the cost of running a train from Bakersfield to this city was nominally a small one. He next asked Mr. Kruftschnitt whether there was any expense outside of fuel and wages of train crew. The questjon was cleverly parried by the witness, and the attorney and railroad manager had a merry tllt. Mr. Short was persistent and Mr. Kruttschnitt was on the defensive. In answering the question the manager said: ‘I should say that every item on the route up to the portion of the salary of the president was needed to move that train. “Eliminating those items,” said the at- torney, “what other expenses are neces- sary to move the train?”’ “If those other items were not {ncluded you could not move the traf; eplied the witness. Judge Short and the witness then ar- gued the matter. Mr. Kruttschnitt de- clared that he did not want to testify to an absurdity.

REDLANDS, Aug. 5—A cloudburst in the Santa Ana Canyon, the principal feed- er of the San Gabriel Valley water shed, sent a volume of water down this after- noon which destroyed ranch, mill and power property to the extent of $200,000. The storm was entirely unexpected, not a cloud being in the sky two hours before the precipitation. The water washed out mountain roads, telephone and telegraph lines and entirely destroyed communica- tion with the farther mountain resorts. Several hunting parties were out after deer and up to 9 o’clock to-night were still missing, but since they were hunting on the hills it is thought they escaped the first rush of water that flooded the lower Cienegas and are prevented from return- ing to camp by the torrents still pouring down the bottoms of the canyons.

Kruttschnitt Was Cautious. Despite the answer Attorney Short grew more persistent. He asked what it would | cost to run a freight train to San kran- | clisco, and Mr. Kruttschnitt replied: “The answer is obvious. I am to say that the whole cost of running a train is wages and cost of fuel. I am not ready to admit it. I never believed it. I have | given you the average cost of running trains on this division. If we admit that the oil train can be run for wages of men and fuel, some one else would ask, ‘Can’t’| the cattle train be run for the same? and another would ask, ‘Could not the grain train be run for the same? Then we would reach the absurdity that trains can be run over the road for the wages of men and cost of fuel. Every train bears its fair share of expense.” “‘Assuming that a train loaded with oil should return cmpty, what would be the | portion of expense of taking it back?" “The same,” answered the witness. Mr. Kruttschnitt in answer to a_ques- | tion said the locomotive burned 175 gal- | lons of eil, which equaled a ton of coal. He said if coal and ofl cost the same he would use coal, as there would be no | necessity of changing the engines into ofl- | burners, thus saving between $500 and $600 | on each engine. He said the time occu- | pied by a freight train plying between West Oakland and Bakersfleld was as fol- ows: « Southbound—Through freight, 18 hours and 3 minutes; way train, 20 hours ‘and 15 minutes. Northbound—17 hours and 10 minutes; way train, 28 hours and 15 minutes. Mr. Sproule Recalled. Mr. Sproule was then recalled and read a tabulated statement showing the list of ofl shipments in tons from the Coalinga and Kern County districts, beginning July, 1898, down to June, 1900. He showed thaf the average capacity of a car was twenty- five tons; that the oil in Kern County district was heavier than that of the Coal- inga district; that ofl averaged about 7% pounds to a gallon. - The Southern Pacific Company hangdled, he showed, in the years 1898-1900 from the Kern River district the following quanti- ties of ofl: '98-'99, 56 tons; '89-'00, 5845 tons; '00-01, 250,- 983 tons. At six barrels to a ton this would amount to 1,502,000 barrels. The bulk of the oil is shipped to San Franciso and vi- cinity. In May, 1901, 6954 tons were shipped from_all points of the Coalinga district, The heaviest month the rallroad has had from all points in the Kern County dis- trict was 37,58 tons, the witness said. Mr. Sproule was allowed to depart and an adjournment was taken until 10 o’cloc] this morning. FALLS IN STATEROOM AND IS FATALLY HURT Prominent Business Man of Rediands Killed on a Voyage to Seattle.

When hair is brittle, lusterless and begins to fall out the dandruff germ is getting in its deadly work at the root, sapping the vi- tality. Since science discovered that dan- druff is a germ disease there has been only one preparation put on the market that will actually destroy the dandruff germ, and that is Newbro’s Herpicide. It allays itching instantly, destroys the germ, and the falling hair stops and hair grows luxuriantly. Ask your druggist for Herpicide. It allays itching instantly; makes hair grow. | | SMALL - BOY 3ET3 FIRE T0 A HALL Kansas City Exposition Building Burns to the Ground. Blaze Starts in Rubbish and Quickly Gets Beyond Control. KANSAS CITY, Aug. 5.—The exposition building erected during the boom of 1387 at a-cost of over $200,000 was destroyed by fire in less than two hours’ time this afternoon. The fire started shortly after 1 o’clock within ten feet of where Patrick Gilmore stood when he directed his famous band at the exercises dedicating the building fourteen years ago.” A boy among a crowd which had gathered to watch a large circus that had pitched its tents across the street set fire, in a spirit of mischief, to'some loose rubbish lying on the floor. In a moment the flame Jeaped beyond control, spreading almost instantly throughout the whole building, which occupied a half-block square. No effort was made to save the building. The exposition building was situated at Twelfth street and Kansas avenue, three miles from the center of the city. It had not been occupied for ten years. Recently a syndicate planned to raze it to make way for modern buildings. The loss is nominal. Rifled Trunks Found Near Graves. WICHITA, Kans.. Aug. 5—A dispatch to the Eagle from Marlow, I.
