Never in the history of this or any other na. tion has such development occurred within the space of a tweivemonth. The expansion of pro- ductive capacity was enormous, the improved methods of work and organization were con- cuous, wise economies were introduced, but more than all other factors that made for per- manent prosperity was the conservative resist- ance to price Inflation.

Tin plates closed the year where they opened, but in the interim there was an advance of §7 on account of the famine that foliowed the strike. All records of output for hard and soft coal were surpassed during 1901, despite the scarclty | of cars that retarded operations.

REDDING, Dec. 3L—Redding was greatly shocked this morning when the news spread that George A. Littlefield, the local manager for the Terry Lumber Company, had committed suicide in his home by firing a bullet from a revolver through his heart. Littlefield had been telephoning on busi- ness matters to the Terry Mills at Bella Vista. He then walked by his wife into the bedroom adjoining her room, drew his pistol ai| ' shot himself. The action was unexpect.. aad was done in a fit of tem- T. pethtleneld held a responsible and lucra- tive position, had a charming wife and two bright children. Early this morning he telephoned his wife to come down as h not feeling well. On the way down town_she burst out crying and told a she could bear it no longer. Her husband returned home soon after talk- ing with her and met her and her mother, . Grace Kuhn of Red Bluff. He then and ended his life with the revolver, was a Native Son and a Workman. The body will be taken for Oaklaad to-morrow, where hul TERRIBLE CRIME OF INSANE MAN Kills a Girl and His Son and Wounds His Wife and Daughters. TURNERS FALLS, Mass., Dec. 3L— Louis Bitzer, a jeweler of this place, to- day shot five persons, two of whom, his clerk, Miss Ida Columbe, and Bitzer's five- year-old son, are dead. His other victims | were his wife, Christina, and his two daughters, Annie, about 16 years oldf and | Carrie, 12 years old. It is thought they will not die. There is evidence that it was Bitzer's intention to take his own life also, but his prompt arrest prevented him from carrying out this purpose. He is_about 35 years of age. From a note left in his store by Bitzer it appears that while he was cleaning a revolver the weapon was discharged acci- dentally and the bullet hit Miss Columbe | in the head, killing her instantly. Over- come by the situation, Bitzer apparently rushed to his home, hatless and wild with excitement and began the work of exter- minating his family. . Ths little boy, ill in bed, was shot and o led. The 16-year-old daughter, Annfe, shot through the left hand and in ear. The 12-year-old daughter, Carrie, was shot through the neck. Mrs. Bitzer was hit in the face, the bullet passing through the nose. The sound of shots brought neighbors into the house and Bitzer was arrested. The police believe that Bitzer is insane. The note which they found in his store after the affair was almost an Incoherent jumble of words. After telling of the shooting of Miss Columbe, Bitzer wrote that he had determined to go to_his home and end the lives of his wife and children and his own. He asked that at his funeral the hymn, “‘Nearer, My God, to Thee " be was the sung. Substantially the same story was told by Bitzer after his arrest. DANISH CESSION TREATY : ‘WILL SHORTLY BE SIGNED — Question of the Plebiscite Will Not Be Allowed to Longer Delay the Negotiations. COPENHAGEN, Dec. 3L—It has been learned upon the best authority that the treaty between the United States and Denmark for the sale of the Danish West Indies will be signed, in spite of the agi- tation here against such action, as the Danish Government has given its prom ise to this end\The question of a £ TWO ABLE RAILWAY OFFI- CIALS WHO HAVE BEEN PRO- MOTED. i B3 S announced in The Call yester- day, J. L. Frazier has tendered his resignation as superintendent of the Southern Pacific Company at Oakland. The resignation has been accepted and W. S. Palmer, who is at present superintendent of the Sacra- mento division, has been named to suc- ceed him. F. E. Prior, assistant superin- tendent at Los Angeles, will take Pal- mer’s post at Sacramento. Changes in the Southern Pacific Com- pany have been coming fast and thick lately. When J. L. Frazier was appointed superintendent at Oakland recently it was thought that at last the railroad corpora- tion had settled down to its normal state. Frazier, however, threw up his position to Zo East with the Toledo, St. Louis and TWestern Railroad Monday and The Call in making the announcement of his resig- nation, predicted that Palmer would suc- ceed him. In the official circular W. S. Palmer is appointed superintendent at Oakland and F. E. Prior to succeed him. The paper is FLOOD AND FIRE EXCITE RIGHMOND Extreme Eastern Section of the City Is Now Under Water. RICHMOND, Va., Dec. 31.—Flood, fire and general excitement prevailed in Rich- mond to-day. The water in the James River rose 23% feet, within four feet of the level of the great freshet of 1877. Lower Main street and a greater part of Fulton, the extreme eastern section of the city, were flooded. When the freshet was negr its height fire, caused by the waters coming in contact with lime, broke out in the plant of Warner, Moore & Co., millers and feed supply men. The property is situated on the creeks of the flooded district and at one time it seemed that it would be destroyed, but a change of wind and the splendid work of the fire department averted the danger. Hose was carried over a line of partiy sub- merged coal cars and buoyed on rafts made of small boats. The firemen fought the flames standing up to their waists in water. The fire was confined to the build- ing in which it started. The loss is about $10,000, fully insured. It is estimated, that the occupants of 200 small houses on this and the Manchester side of the river had to vacate temporarily. The gas works are partially under water and the gas supply cut off. This condition seriously crippied the newspapers, as the metal for their linotype machines is heated by gas. All are working by lamps to-night. The incoming southern trains had to run through several feet of water. The bridges are reported gone in various sections of the State and traffic is greatly interrupt- ed. The water began to fail about 5 p. m. ——————————3 Funeral of Senator Sewell. CAMDEN, N.

Officials Remove All Obsta- cles That Coniront the Inventor. Special Dispatch to The Call. OTTAWA, Dec. 3l—In a conference with Mr. Tarte, Minister of Public Works, and Colonel Gourdeau, Deputy Minister, to-day, Mr. Marconi expressed doubt con- cerning interference with vested cable rights should he erect a station on Sable Island. “The Government owns the island,” re- plied Colonel Gourdeau, “and the only telegraph line on it, and allows nobody | It is | but we will! to land there without permission. in cnarge of a_Governor, make you King.” Marconi is_greatly impressed with the situation of Sabie Island as a site for a station from which to work across the Atlantic with his wireless station on the goast of Cornwall. At the Marine Department he talked | with the Deputy Minister and chief engi- | reer upon the subject and was pleased to see by the great circle track which was plotted for nim on a North Atlantic admiralty chart that a direct line be- tween Sable Island and the Cornwall coast passes well out to seaward of the Avalon peninsula of Newfoundland. Maps and views of the island showing the :ighthouse towers that may be used for signaling were presented, and Mr. Marconi was promised absolute freedom in the use of the island for his experi- ments. It is considered that Sable Island will at any rate be valuable s a repeat- ing station for trans-Atlantic signals. Marconi_had his first meeting with Mr. Laurier, Premier of Canada, at luncheon in the Rideau Club to-day, where both were guests of W. S. Fieiding, Minister of Finance. Other Cabinet were present, also Sir Sandford Fleming. ploneer of the Pacific cable, and Sir Thomas Shaughnessy, president of the Canadian Pacific Railway. Mr. Laurier assured Marconi of every assistance which the Government could afford him. Mr. Tarte, whose department has control ‘of the coast telegraph sys-— tem, discussed the establishment of wire- | less stations on Prince Edward Island and the mainland of Nova Scotia or New Brunswick, to maintain communication across Northumberland Strait, independ- ently of the existing cable, controlled by the ~Anglo-American Company under a charter similar to the franchise which enabled the company to interfere in Newfoundland. Marconi will call upon Governor General Lord Minto to-morrow and on Thursday a Cabinet meeting will be held to decide what concessions can be granted to him by the Dominion Government. NEW YORXK LIFE MAKES SPLENDID YEAR'S SHOWING Applications to the Company in 1901 Are Shown to Exceed are the facts which struck Assistant Pres- | ident Kruttschnitt's héart. Kruttschnitt | is a fine railroad engineer and admires | any one who has studied and become ex: pert in engineering. It is said-that he ad- vised the promotion of Palmer the mo- ment he knew that Frazier had tendered | his resignation. | F. E. Prior, who goes to Sacramento as | superintendent of the division, is an old | railroad man, although he is only 42 years of age. Prior entered the railroad world in 1883. He first secured a position with | the Santa Fe at Galveston. He next en- tered the passenger department of the | Northern Pacific and remained there from 1885 to 1887. He then accepted a position | with the California Southern Railway in | the auditor’s office. In 1887 he became an employe of the Southern Pacific Company | in che suverintendent’s office at Los An- geles. In 1895 he was promoted to the po- | sition of assistant division superintendent | at Los Angeles. He is looked upon as a | very bright railroad man and has done | much to foster the big travel in Southern California. | W. S. Palmer was for many years Man- | ager Agler's assistant. He has in his short period as superintendent at Sacra- mento made hosts of friends, who will greatly regret his removal to Oakland. Palmer has the reputation of being a hard Wworker. He can be found at his desk from early morning until the last clerk has left the office at night. His character- istics are similar to those of Kruttschnitt, who believes that wher a man is working | there is not a moment to be spent for rest or recreation and to this quality mainly his promotion has been due. FIGHT IN OHID BECOMES ACUTE Senator Foraker Secures the Hamilton County Delegation. CINCINNATI, Dec. 3L—The fight be- tween the Hanna and Foraker factions | for control of the Ohio Legislature be- came acute in Cincinnati to-day, when it became known that two Toledo members of the House of Representatives were here In consultation with Senator For- aker. They were followed to the city by the chairman of the central committee at Toledo and by Representative Demath of ‘Toledo, both Hanna men. The result of the day’s conference was in favor of For- aker, in that the two Toledo men who first arrived gave their pledge to support the Foraker programme. At a meeting of the Hamilton County delegation to-night the three Senators and the ten Representatives voted unani- mously to support the Foraker candidates in the organization of the Legislature. After the meeting a stalement was given out that the pending contest was not one between Foraker and Hanna | themselves for supremacy that the party could not recognize the contest as factional, and that the Hamilton County members would give respectful attention to the advice of the local Re- %ubllcan organization, in which George . Cox is universally recognized as the| dominating influence. Cox_said to-night the present trouble was due to ‘“tale-bearing gossips, not to any leaders, and that the result would have no bearing in the future against any one.” He added: ‘‘Whatever figure | Hamilton County may cut in the contest now on, you may depend upon it that, the question of Senatorial supremacy in Ohio has not Y“ en_considered.” Cox’ sald that he would leave for Co- lumbus on Thursday morning and remain there until after the Legislature was or- | anized. Senator Foraker will not go to | Eolumbu- until after the election of a Senator January 15. Zionists Elect New Officers.

NEW YORK, Dec. 31.—The closing,day of the year indicates great prosperity in every business direction. The large mer- cartile hcuses, the various banking in- stitutions and the trades generally are quite enthustastic with the records made. The fire insurance business has not re- sulted in great profits for stockholders owing to the poor rates obtained, but the regular or old-line life insurance compa- nies, on the other hand, will make a splendid showing for their policy-holders. The leader in business obtained and in | force will undoubtedly be the New York Life, as President McCall has issued = statement that the new applications to his company in 1961 will exceed $380,000,000, or more than §1,000,000 for every day in the year. This is an unprecedented rec- ord. The company's new paid-for business in 1901, excluding risks rejected, etc., 1S $260,000,000. The total paid-for insurance in force is $1,350,000,000, a gain of $160,000,00) over the previous year. It is estimated in banking circles that the dividend and Interest payments on Government, State, municipal, railroad and_other corporation securities payabic on January 1 will be $400,000,000. The new ‘business offered to the New York Lifs | during 191 is nearly equal to these com- bined payments. New York Theater Burns. NEW YORK, Jan. 1—Miner's Eighth- avenue Theater was destroyed by fire early this morning. “The Merry Maidens™ burlesque show had just given a long per- | formance and the Tudience had been out of the building only about fifteen minutes | when the fire was started. It was caused by a lighted cigarette. The loss, as now estimated, will be General Seamans Is Resting Easily.
