12 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THUR HERRIN CLOSES FOR RAILROAD Suggests to Oil Men the Immediate Forming of a Trust. Norton Tells of Saving to Santa Fe by Use of Petroleum. Attorney Norton, representing the Santa Fe Rallway, continued his argument at 10 o'clock yesterday morning before the Railrcad Commissioners in the oil rate case. He closed in an hour and was fol- lowed by Attorney J. E. Foulds of the Southern Pacific. In the afternoon Chief Counsel Herrin took the floor and made the closing argument for the rallroad peo- ple. The case yesterday was devold of any dramatic or sensational developments; in fact, it appears to be of little interest to oll men throughout the State, as they are conspicuous by their absence. Attorney Norton, in continuing his ar- gument, said the testimony in the case had proved that the ofl industry would not be improved by & reduction in the present rate between Bakersfield and this city. He also wanted to impress upon the Raliroad Commissioners that the rate was most generous. It was even, so Mr. Eproule had said on the stand, *‘the low- est rate in the State.” The most interesting part of Attorney Norton's argument to the Rallre Com- missioners was an account of how oil had been substituted by the Santa Fe system | for coal, showing what a vast amount of | money had been saved by the change. ciearly It of economy. Santa Fe in the past had paid $6 a ton for coal. When it substituted oil for coal a ount of money had to be expend- putting new fire plates and pans into notives. It paid and still had a ct for oil at §1 a barrel. Four bar- ofl were equal to a ton of coal, so four barrels it saved $2. rton sald that from the first the company had saved $0,000 & ney N railway month. Foulds Cries Over-Production. The attorney closed his argument by seying that oil men did not want & re- duced rate and the rallroad companies could not haul ofl from Bakersfield at 2 cents a barrel. Attorney Foulds in his argument was full of reasons why the oll industry was not on & paying basis. He said there was an overproduction of the article, and that | the demand and that alone would make | the price of the article. the afternoon W. F. Herrin made the argument for the rallroad com- panies. The attorney commenced by go- ing into the history of the transportation of oil from its infancy. He told how a for oli. It was done, he ex- 80 that the Southern Pacific couid | ect its Interests, it being threatened | with a low rate by water should it fail to make & low rail rate. He followed by & that the attorney for the plaintif | had no right to take the charge for the | transportation of lumber from Oregon to San Francisco as an example of a low | n spoke at much length to show ' e transportation of lumber from | San Francisco was not a pay- nt in one way. The rafiroad however, did not give the lum- | the same service as it did the oil Bekersfield. The lumber was only hipped to this city when there were plenty of cars to do the hauling. Besides | the raliroad company had land in the lum- ber districts, which it now sold on ac- count of the lumber industry at an aver- age of 36 per acre. Herrin's Advice to Oil Men. | “'You cannot take & certain rate,” he| said, “‘and make it apply to every case.”” Chief Counsel Herrin then threw a fow words of advice to the oil men gratis. He thought that the condition of the ofl mar- | ket showed that there was an overpro- duction and that for a while, until the | price became higher, producers should combine, make & sort of trust, or else keep their ofl in the ground. He thought that from Le Blanc's action he had no real grievance, but that he had gone to other ofl men and told them that he would try to help them in getting a lower | freight rate. Herrin quoted a decision from the Su- preme Court, which has decided that a raflroad company is not bound to lower its rates on account of farmers not being able to make money. He took a few flings et Attorney Short's figures and-then closed the case for the raflroad corpora- tions. 3 Attorney Short will close his for the plaintiff this morning. It lo more than probable that the Rallroad Commis- sioners will not decide the case until the early part of next month —_— Attorney Fred Frey Dead.

FATHER CULLEN RECEIVES A PURGE Members of Sacred Heart Church Honor Popu- lar Priest. Token of Affection Takes the Form of Substantial Testimonial. i S I As a testimonial of the high esteem in | which the Rev. John J. Cullen is held by the people of Sacred Heart parish, a testi- monial and handsome purse was present- ed to him last night bv the gentlemen of the parish. Father Cullen has been ap- | pointed pastor of the newly created par- ish of Mountain View and Mayfield, and leaves to-day to assume his new duties. As an additional source of pleasure to those present Father Hugh Lagan, the pastor, returned unexpectedly from a trip to Salt Lake City. He said 'he had read in the Morning Call while there the first announcement of Father Cullen’s appoint- ment. M. Meherin acted as chairman of the meeting. When Father Cullen entered the hall he was greeted with great applause. The address read by Meherin voicing the sentiments of the parishioners was in part: ‘While your removal from Sacred Heart Par- ish may be deemed advieable by those under whose directions it is apout to take place, I speak for a great many¥of the church mem- bers of this parish, and positively for my- self, that your removal is very positively against our wishes. We regret it very much, and our hope is that the members of the par- | ish to which you are about to be transferred | will appreciate your self-eacrificing and kindly nature as we do. To know you insures love and high respect for you, and the more inti- mately you are known, the greater the love and the higher the respect. Self-sacrifice for the comfort, instructions and advantages of others has been the constant practice of your | ife. Your sermons, your private advice and conversation, have been alike and uniformly pure, simple, eloquent, instructive, convincing, and o practical es fo be useful to all who | have had the advantage and pleasure of efther hearing you or of coming within the influence | of your presence. Reference was made to the high regard | in which Father Cullen was held by every one, and Meherin concluded by offering the departing priest & purse of nearly 1500. Father Cullgn was greatly overcome, | but finally volced his thanks as follows: Mr. Chairmen and kind friends: 1 _thank you and the people of the Sacred Heart Parish, in whose midst I have been working for the past five years, for this token of friendship and convincing proof of your appreciation of | the work done while : | and approval of my | years. Your kind expressions make it diffi- | cult for me to find words to thank you as I | desire. Had I been permitted to leave the as I came to it, I would still of friends. Your kind words in my regard will serve as an incentive and encouragement in other flelds. Whenever 1 asked your co- operation to parish work given to my charge your response was prompt and your generosity in keeping with the demands of the under- taking. T feel that it was not necessary for you to assemble here and give expression to your re- gret at my departure, for 1 have already had ample proof of your sincere regard for me. It is neediess to say that I appreciate your | gracious donation. If money were a test of | friendship, you have given me a strong proof of your aftection. From the parish as a whole I have had nothing but kindness without stint or limit and therefore my heart is & well of gratitude and words fall me to express my appreciation. The many testimonials I have received from those connected with the church render it more difficult to break the union that has ex- isted between us for five years. The altar boys have shown their affection by presenting me with an outfit for the altar. The boys of the vesper choir have also given evidence of thelr love and esteem. The Ladles’ Sodality, of which I had charge, has also shown its ap- preciation, and to them I feel deeply grateful The boys of Company D, League of the Cross Cadets, have been s0 dear to me that our parting is more in the nature of a famlly separation than that of friends. I learned to Their manliness and up- right, straightforward manner I alwaye ad- mired. And if 1 had five years more in Bac- red Heart Parish it would be a repetition of the past, and I would never regret anything I could do for their betterment and success. Lastly you have come as the pillars of the parish, you who bear the church’s burden, to ow your appreciation. I thank you one and and in o all the people of this parish. you from my heart every happiness and success in every undertaking, spiritual and temporal, and 1 bid you all an affectionate and fond farewell The Rev. Father Lagan expressed his regret at losing his valued assistant, with whom he had been associated for the past five vears. A club to be known as the Mountain View Club has been formed by about 100 members of the parish to assist Father | Cullen in erecting a church. | Three rousing cheers for Father Cullen | were given at the close by the juvenile | contingent, which crowded the rear of the hall.

Henry Dallemagne, Consul General of France at San Francisco, will set awhirl to-day the machinery of the law that Process Server Joseph Kelly - may be subdued. If Kelly is not sub- dued — forced to realize his position and the dignity that attaches to the office of Consul General of France—a rup- ture may result between two nations that have been allies since the immortal Lafayette drew his sword in defense of ‘American liberty. Dallemagne fell into the hands of Pro- cess Server Kelly in front of the French consulate _at 316A Post street late last evening. Kelly, it is said, almost ripped the clothing from oft the body of the French officlal. Dallemagne was angry. He sought out his attorney, A. Ruef, and laid the case before him. Until far into the night Ruef scanned the pages of the compiled treaties, studled up international law, invented new modes of torture, and in imagination saw Kelly suffer in seven different ways. One Escande has a judgment agalnst Charles L. Tamm, secretary of the con- sulate. Under the direction of Escande's attorney the Sheriff was called upon to serve an _order of examination upon Tamm and to summon_Consul Gencral Dallemagne to court. Dallemagne stood upon his legal rights and remained in the consulate. ~The Sheriff’s attention was called to the fact that he was without right when he issued the summons. He forthwith apologized. ~Consul General Dallemagne thought the matter was ended, but he did not count upon the pro- cess servers. When they became too numerous he called upon the District At- torney and was guaranteed protection. But the District Attorney was powerless to stop Kelly. He lay in wait for hours for the Consul General, and finally, seelng him emerge from the door of the con- sulate, rushed upon him, “‘and,” says the Consul General, “ripped’ my coat to tat- ters and thrust an evil odored paper in my hands.” Kelly hurried away, but was followed by an attache of the congylate and forced to give his name. Dallemagne drew his tattered coat about him and hurried to the office of Attorney Ruef.. Then Ruef went to work. The attention of the Sec- retary of State will be called to the out- rage, he says, and, furthermore, Kelly as best befits a case of battery, as Ruef characterizes it, will appear before ths bar of the Police Court to make his de- fense. International complications will hardly arise, Ruef says, but if they do and a French battleship should be seen at anchor some morning in the harbor it will surely have come to enforce an indemnity claim for a new suit of clothes preferred by Henry Dellemange, Consul General of France. Autopsy Dispels Suspicion. The body of Mrs. Yani Carraro, wife of a cook, who died at 266%; Natoma street, was taken to the Morgue yesterday at the instance of an undertaking firm. It was hinted that the death was of a sus- picious character and not the result of natural causes.

Within the next few weeks the South- ern Pacific Company will make Its first experiment with oll-burning engines. The question of burning oil in locomotives has been under discussion by the heads of the operating department of the great rail- way corporation for some time, and now, on the recommendation of Master Me- chanfc Small, the actual test is to be made. General Manager Kruttschnitt, who has lately returned from a tour of inspection over the road as far south as New Or- leans, looks with favor on the innovation and is hopeful that the test will prove satisfactory and result in a great saving in locomotive repairs, particularly in re- pairs made necessary by recurrent leak- ages of fire boxes. When seen yesterday Kruttschnitt said that the first of the 103 new heavy loco- motives that had been ordered by the compans’ had already been delivered, and it would only be a short time before the entire numbe{ would be in active opera- tion. These engines will be used on the entire line from Ogden to San Francisco and to New Orleans. Seventy of these engines are freighters, eighteen are switchers and the remaining fifteen are the heavlest ten-wheel locomotives in the Unlted States. Five of the new locomotives will burn oll and will be fitted with Vanderbilt boilers and corrugated flues in place of the old style fire box. These flues will be much the same as those now in use on marine boilers, and it is expected they will be able to withstand the expansion and contraction consequent on the flerce heat they will conduct. The trouble with using oil in the old fire boxes was that, being joined and riveted, they would not 've without opening. The oil was servea y the means of a blower, and this pro- duced a biast heat that the boxes could not stand. e consequence was they were continually leaking and the repalir expenses were something enormous. The new flues are all of one plece and thelr corrugation is expected to give them the necessary expansion. Kruttschnitt sald there would be no saving on fuel, as the oil was, if anything, a little more ex- pensive than coal. 'he saving will comy in on the fewer repairs made necessary. The rumor that was current vesterday that Assistant Passenger Agent James Horsburgh, who is now with E. O. Mec- Cormick in Chicago, would return from his journey as assistant passenger traflic manager is contradicted by those who are in a position to know. Horsburgh has been summoned to Chicago with E. L. Lomax, general passenger agent of the Union Pacific; D. E. Burley of the Ore- on Short Line, and A. L. Craig of the regon Rallway and Navigation Com- pany to confer with Stubbs, McCormick and the Eastern passenger agents of the Harriman lines regarding the advertising end of the business. The idea is to put the advertising business of the entire syn- dicate on a general basis and to do away | as much as possible with conflict in the issuance of reading matter. | < * = * Sketches made especially for | The Call by Martinez, the artist whose work received distinct mention and prize in “ the Paris Salon—see next Sun- day’s Call. + =y Gillespie’s Examination Clossd.
