HILL TESTIFIES IN MERGER S0IT President of - Northern Pac fic Company on the Stand. Tells of Reduction of Rates and the Development of Oriental Trade, ST. PAUL, Oct. 20.—Special Examiner N. G. Ingersoll to-day, in the United States Circuit Court room, continued the exam- nation of witnesses in the case of the United States vs. the Northern Securities Company, the first hearing having been adjourned from New York to this city. licitors J. K. Richards and W. A. Day peared for the Interstate Commerce Commission, J. M. Beck represented the United States Government, while former Atiorney General Griggs, David Wilcox f New York, G. B. Young, C. W. Bunn and M. D. Grover of St. Paul appeared r the defense. The New York hearing substantially 'mpleted the Government's presentation f its case and the testimony to be givea was on behalf of the defendants, e Northern Securities Company, the orthern Pacific Railway Company, Great Northern Railway Company and | the principal officials of those companies. It was five minutes after 11 o'clock when Examiner Ingersoll administered the oath to J. J. Hill, president of the Northern Se- curities Company and Great Northern Railway Company. The examination was conducted by George B. Young. The testimony at first eovered Hill's of- ficial counection with the Great Northern Railw and the previous companies of which it was the outgrowth. Hill told of the traffic that could be depended on along the Great Northern, especially the lumber from the Pacific Coast, the rate on which had previously been prohibitory, but was reduced from % to 40 cents a hundred af- ter his line was completed. He also told in detail the development of the Oriental trade. GOES INTO TRAFFIC DETAILS. In answer to questions Hill said that OL the west end of his line the local sup- Ply of coal was sufficient for business, but within the past two years the diffi- culty of getting coal from Pennsylvania to Lake Erie was very great, his com- pany being unable to secure a sufficient supply in 1900 for its own use at either | Lake Erie or Lake Superiar ports. Coal for domestic use was also unobtainable, | the terminals being unable to handle all the cars. The case was even worse this year, less than half the proper supply be- ing now on hand for the season. It was even worse in the case of coal for domes- tic use. The situation is serious this vear and will constantly grow worse. He referred particularly to bituminous coal, and spoke of the use of the Burlington line as 2 means of supplying Northwest- ern needs for fuel, its connection with the soft coal fields, its low grades and the consequent possiblity of large loads making lower rates possible. By the use of the Burlington for coal business over that and the northern lines in unbroken loads lower coal prices will result. The Puget Sound coal fields would furnish a supply east of Spokane; the British Co- lumbia coal is nearly as far away and not be brought profitably this far ) i east. Recent developments have taken the coal shipments north from St. Louis to Northern Minnesota and the return ad of iron ore from the Minnesota ge. The direct connection with the Burlington makes possible a lower and more certain rate on this class of busi- ness. They must take all business possi- ble to the coast, or else it will be neces- sary 1o raise the rate on the eastbound mber. A trunk line to Chicago, St ouis and other centers makes it possible to control the return shipments and take dewn the rates. The Burlington connec- tion gives greater uniformity in car ser- vice and also makes possible the handling unbroken trainloads. DEVELOPING ORIENTAL TRADE, All conditions affecting the Great North- ern would naturally affect the Northern similarly, especially so in the mat- | f coal supplies. Both roads must | dle business both ways in order 10 | compete with the Suez Canal route, but they were doing it successfully. They | compete with Germany and Great Britain in transportation and production and with Norway and Sweden in transportation | aicne, and in a less degree with the Pana- | ma route. Manufactures from Ohio and even some parts of Pennsylvania must ve a rail haul in either direction and be trans-shipped either acress the At- lantic or Pacific. The railroad competi- tors to the Pacific Coast are the Canadian | Pacific, Union Pacific and Southern Pa- ific and a new line under construction | His chief competition, however, was with the conditions all over the world and not | alone with these Western rafiways. Speaking of the line of steamships, Hill said the first ship would be launched .in December, with a tonnage of 28,000, or 1000 tons more than the Celtic, which s the largest ship now afloat. Cotton and machinery showed remark- able increases in Oriental traffic in the last year, while oil and some other com- modities decreased. The year ending! June, 1 showed about double the Ori- ental shipments of the previous year. i Ptk sty Talk on Early California. s Lucille Eaves gave an illustratea talk yesterday before the Daughters of California Ploncers upon the “History of the Early Days in California.” There were also musical selections given under the direction of Mrs. Marriner Campbell. There was a large attendance of “daugh- ters” and friends. —_— GRAPE-NUTS.

LONDON, Oct. 20.—Gerald> Balfour, president of the Board of Trade, announc- ed in the House of Commons to-day that an evening would be given for the discus- sion of the Government's shipping agree ments. The agreement with the Inter- national Mercantile Marine Company, he added, did not involve any additional bur- den on the exchequer. President Hanbury of the Board of | Agriculture, made a statement to the ef- | fect that the negotiations on the subject | of Argentine cattle were not. concluded, but the importation of live cattle from that republic would be permitted just as | soon as the regulations of Argentine af- ford security against the landing of dis- eased animals. Colonial Secretary Chamberlain, reply- | ing to a question, said the Government | had 1ot yet fixed the sum to be contribut- ed by the Transvaal and Orange River colonies toward the expenses of the South African war. When questioned on the subject of the British reverse in Somaliland, the Foreign Under-Secretary, Lord Cranborne, little to add to the facts already known. He said General Manning arrived at Aden yesterday and that the Government placed at his disposal a battalion of In- dian troops to aid the protectorate's forces. If these troops were not suffi- clent others would be forthcoming. Lord Cranborne said that Colonel Swayne's retreat would probably necessi- tate much more prolonged operations and a larger force than anticipated. That the recent reports of Russia’s de- sire to establish direct relations between St. Petersburg and Cabul (Afghanistan) were well founded was admitted by the Under Foreign Secretary. Replyipg to a | quesion, Lord Cranborne said the’British | Government had received a communica- | tion from the Russian Government pro- posing that direct relations be established between Russia ané Afghanistan in re- gard to frontier matters. Russia set forth that the relations would not have a place here, as the Russian Government main- tained its former engagements and con: the sphere of Russian influence. The Brit- ish Government replied that it was im- possible to consider any change in the ex- isting arrangements without more precise information regarding the proposed rela- tions, the limitations to be placed on them and the means for insuring the observ- ance of such limitations. Lord Cranborne added that no answer had yet been re- ceived to Great Britain's reply. @ iiiiirimimiiiieiei el @ HONDR MEMORY OF THEIR DEAD Delegates to Temper- ance Convention Hold Services.

AL Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Oct. 20. Creditors of Joseph O. Horne, son and heir of the late Joseph Horne of Alle- ghany, Pa., one of the wealthiest business men of that thriving Eastern city, are on the trail of the young man, who until he quietly dropped out a short time ago cut a big swath in the high side of Oak- land’s exclusive set. Despite an income that has aggregated not far from $1300 a month, the Pennsyl- vanian and his dashing wife managed to accumulate a variety of select accounts, which form the basis of a number of com- plaints filed to-day by the law firm of | Reed & Nusbaumer in the court of Jus- tice James G. Quinn. The story told by the various items of the numerous claims that have been veri- fied in the suits is one of prodigality and splendid living- without a due regard for the propriety of paying as yoy go. Horne and his wife did not neglect any opportunity, according to the anxious creditors, to make money fly, other peo- ple’s money, during their stay at the fashionable Hotel Metropole, and a | stream of due bills, unpaid restaurant and | hotel accounts, physicians’ bills and even | @ nursing claim are included in the list | filed in court. BORROWED MONEY. The total is $1207 15. At the head of the detachment of creditors who have not been satisfied stands J. B. Lanktree,-a financial broker of this city, who sues for the recovery of $385, which he claims to have loaned to the improvident scion of the house of Horne. In proof of his demands, Broker Lanktree offers a num- | ber of promissory notes, due bills and I. O. U.’s, all duly signed by Mr. Horne. The heaviest item in the Lanktree claim is a promissory note for $250, made November 11 of last year. A week later the debt was swelled by $75, the obligation being represented by a second promissory note. Five days subsequent to that loan Horne pressed his credit $50 worth more, and an | I 0. U. for that amount is on the list. The last “‘touch,” aecording to the docu- mentary record in the hands of the law- vers, was made on December 4 for the modest amount of $10, ana one of Lank- tree's printed form due bills, signed by Horne, is the evidence of that transac- tion. Now Lanktree says these little matters must have been overlooked by his wealthy client in the haste of departure from Oak- land. It is to remind Horne that the debt still exists that the lender has begun suit. Incidentally he wants a judgment in the hope that some time he may be able to | levy upon the fortune tied up in the East. At least, that is supposed to be the status of Horne's financial affairs. UNPAID DOCTOR’S BILLS. Dr. J. P. Dunn and his brother, Dr. Will Dunn, appear next in point of amount ot claim in the category of Horne's suing creditors. The first named physician en- ters an account of $370 for medical and surgical services rendered, including an operation performed on Mrs. Horne in March of this year. Dr. Will Dunn's fee for assisting was $10, and none of these items has been paid. o For medical services in attending Mrs. Horne, Dr. Pauline 8. Nusbaumer files @ bill for $100, and asks judgment against Horne. Alice M. Schmidt also comes with a $25 account for nursing Mrs. Horne. Further documents introduced by Cle- cak & Marcovich, purveyors to jaded ap- | petites, uncover another side” to the | slash that the Hornes made into the good nature of Oakland's dispensers of good cheer. The restaurateurs demand that Hcrne pay them $5790, including a loan | of $15 made at the request of Mrs. Har- riet E. Horne, and tacked on a miscel- laneous lot of restaurant checks that | show Horne knew how to dine. There are | numerous items of squabs, chicken, ter- rapin, juicy steaks, oysters, sparkling big “bots” and many other delicacies, which Clecak & Marcovich swear were obtain- but payment for which has been overlooked by their dis- criminating patron. There is a note on delicate creamy paper addressed to Mr. Mareovich. It reads: Will you please let me have $15 until Friday evening, when I will settle my account in full? Yours truly, HARRIET E. HORNE. , Last on the list, but not least, is R. M. Briare, proprietor of the Hotel Metropole. Mr. Briare adds an {temized bill for board, etc., against the Hornes, which shows a balance of $25925. Prominent among the items is a charge of $8¢70 for wines and cigars, furnished during Mareh and April this year. There is another tetal of $13175 for money advanced to pay for tailor, laundry, newspapers, tele- | phoning, oysters, postage stamps and a score of other items, all duly particular- ized and not omitting about $50 for cash advanced to the Hornes. 3 GO TO LOS ANGELES. Horne and his wife arrived about a year and a half ago from Nanta Rosa, where he had passed as a very wealthy Eastern capitalist. Immediately they dashed Into society. Horne rapidly gained repute as a lively man about town who had all kinds of money to cast to the birds. It was not until after the Hornes’ de- arture that some of the confiding ones scovered that if Horne was really heir to a big fortune he was running beyond his limit. Inquiry was made in the East, the re- sult being tf§t Horne's claims were in part substantiated. He was an heir un- der the will of his father to property worth at least $250,000. The will made a specific bequest of $100,000 to the son, and the income from not less than $200,000; the principal being held in trust. It was learned that Horne received only $40,000 of the bequest, because a fire at Alle- ghany destroyed some valuable income property of the estate, and it became nec- essary to curtail the outgo until improve- ments could be made. The personal property alone of the es! tate was appraised at 31,083,000, and young Horne's share was one-fourth of the whole fortune. It was estimated that he had an income from the trust of $i300 a month, of which $500 a month went to Horne's first wife, Mrs. Elizabeth McM. Horne of Alleghany. The lawyers have not discavered the exact condition of the trust at this time. Horne’s father dieq about ten years ago. 3 The young man left Oakland ang Te- mained awhile at Santa Crugz, going thence to Los Angeles, where he and his wite are supposed to be stopping at pres. ent. ————————— Licensed to Marry.

RAYMOND, Oct. 20.—Troop E, Third United States Cavalry, arrived here last Thursday from the Yosemite National Park, where it had been doing patrol duty during the summer. Its brief halt in this place was marked by a tragedy. Between 9 and 10 o'clock at night the soldiers were taking in the town and visited the saloon of Benjamin Ducker, a well-known resi- dent of the San Joaquin Valley. While there they created a disturbance which resulted in the death of tne proprietor. The following facts have been brought out at the Coroner's inquest: A number | of soldiers under the influence of liquor while in the saloon drew their revolvers, ‘which they flourished in a menacing man- ner and then smashed a valuable mirror. Proprietor Ducker then produced a re- volver and a knife, but was at once dis- armed by the soldlers, who left the saloon and proceeded to hurl rocks through the windows. Ducker went upstairs and came out on the balcony with his shotgun, firing two shots, apparently for the purpose of in- timidating the rioters, as the charges of shot struck a building on the other side of the road, far above his assailants. - The soldiers opened fire on Ducker from the shelter of a pile of cordwood. The witnesses differed as to the number of shots fired, but there were so many and they came in such rapid succession that they must have been fired by more than one man. Two or more witnesses sald that the: could identify the principal actors in the disturbance which took place within the saloon, but could not be certain as to those who fired upon Ducker. Three bul- lets were found in the woodwork of the building, close to where Ducker had stood. Another struck his left arm, pass- ing through the body and lodging in the ribs, whence it was extracted by Dr. Topp of this place, who gave as his opin- ion that Ducker could not have lived ten minutes after he received the wound. The jury, after a few minutes’ delibera- tion, returned the following verdict: “That the deceased came to death by a bullet wound inflicted by some member of Troop E, Third United States Cavalry, whose name to them was unknown.” Ducker was a native of Missouri, aged about 38 years. He was a genial host and courteous gentleman, which accounted for his general popularity. He leaves a wife and two sons—one a prominent attorney in Winnemucca, Nev.—and a daughter, Mrs. Henry Shelton of Raymond. ® ol ] DENTIST'S DEATH PUZZLES FRIENDS Former San Franciscan a "Victim of Gas Asphyxiation. —ny Special Dispatch to The Call.

Longer at Hotel Del Monte. Santa Monica Man Steps Into Position of Many Discords. George Schonewald’s reign as manager of Del Monte is a thing of the past. His head fell into the basket the early part of last week-and he is succeeded by Mr. Zander, an old time hotel man, who for many years successfully managed the hostelry at Santa Monica. The dethronement of Schonewald will come as a pleasant surprise to many members of the swell set, as there have been some disagreements petween guests and manager, For many years it was the popular fad for the polo players to send their ponies down to Del Monte and piay a series of games during the summer sca- son.” Many of the players had openly avowed that they would never bring their ponies to Del Monte again while Schone- ‘wald was in charge. ‘When A. D. Shepard was brought from Victoria, B. C., recently, and placed in charge of the Pacific Improvement Com- pany, the directors gave him to under- stand that he could use his own discre- tion In regard to retaining Schonewald as | manager. It is he who has retired Schonewald and placea Zander in charge. Schonewald has not made any one his confidant as to his future plans, but it is supposed that he will return to his ranch near Pleasanton, whence he emerged af- ter his first dethronement, due to his quarrel with the Crockers. e ST.

The present fair is being held for the purpose of assisting in raising funds to meet these debts and has proved a suc- cess even beyond the expectations of Father Fuhr.
