THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1902. ENGINEER GAYS FAULT WA HIS Accepts Responsibility for Death of Robert Maxwell, Jury Pronounces the Killing of Hellwig Justifiable Homicide. F. M. Armstrong, engineer of the train that ran into the Almaden passenger train between Campbell and San Jose last Mon- day, admitted his responsibility for the wreck &t the inquest into the death of Robert J. Maxwell, engineer of the Al- maden train. With tears in his eyes and voice trembling with emotion Armstrong sald he was responsible for Maxwell's death and explained his fatal mistake by saying that he confused his forenoon with his afternoon orders. Armstrong was the only important wit- ness called and the jury brought in a ver- dict to the effect that Maxwell's death was due to Armstrong’s carelessness. The jury for the Corenér’s inquest into the death of Otto Hellwig, who was shot y Robert C. Hillen last Monday after he had made an attack upon Hillen's mother, returned a verdict of justifiable homicide. Mrs. Hillen was not able to attend the inquest and the story of her struggle with Hellwig was not told on the stand. Thomas D. Riordan, Hillen's at- torney, would not permit his client to e The only development at the in- was the testimony of two witnesses Hellwig was sober and mot intoxi- d, as claimed by Hillen. Charles and John Moore both swore that talked to Hellwig shortly before ting and that he was then per- sober. that he was going to leave his position. —_———— BIG CROWDS EXAMINE JAPANESE PICTURES Exhibition of 0ld Prints and a Con- cert Attract Throng of Visitors.

MELBOURNE FIRE CRIEF IN THE CITY Says London Depart- ment Is Not Up to Standard. Visits/America and Europe in Search of the New- est Ideas, Among the arrivals at the Occldental Hotel is D. J. Stein, Chief of the Fire Department of Melbourne, Australia. He left Australia last April at the request ot the municipal authorities of Melbourne to visit all the principal cities of the world and inspect their fire department systems that he might be enabled to suggest Im- provements for the Melbourne, depart- ment. In an interview last evening Chief Stein was reluctant to criticize the different fire departments of the cities he had visited, but in discussing the London de- partment he said that it was not as ef- ficient as it might be, neither was it as bad as it is often spoken of. Chief Stein says he deems the Paris Fire Department a splendid one, but that the city of Paris is absolutely fireproof and that it would be impossible to burn the place, owing to the constructign of the buildings. He quoted as an instance that at the time of the Commune attempts To Leonard he had said | what seemed to be pe- | were made to burn the city, but that the efforts all failed. ~ As a result of his observations Chief Stein says the most essential factors in presery a city from fire are a good sup- ply ¢f water, always available and with a good pressure, and the erection of all buildings with a minimum of non-fire- | proof material. He says that he also no- ticed that'in towns or cities where the houses are built mostly of wood the fire departments are the best and that where the buildings are made of brick and stone the departments are sadly deficient. He thinks the American fire departments lead the world. 3 Chief Stein will sail for Australia short- ly. but Chief Sullivan of the Fire Depart- ment has arranged for him to witness | several exhibition drills before he leaves.

LOUIS, Oct. 30.—The taking of tes- timony in the trial of Edmund Bersch, former member of the Hcuse of Dele- gates, on the charge of perjury, began to- day before the Grand Jury. While Philip Stock was on the stand the $75,000 from the safe deposit vault of the Lincoln Trust Company was produced by Circuit Attorney Folk, identified and counted. Stock, who 1s secretary of the St. Louis Brewing Association, testified that he was employed by President Charles H. Turner of the St. Louis and Suburban Rallroad to secure the passage of Council bill No. 4. He said that he met John K. Murrell of the House of Delegates in re- lation to the bill October 18, 1900, Murrell representing the House combine. Murrell proposed to get the bill through the House for §75,000, which, witness testified, he deposited in the trust vaults for Mur- rell. ‘W. H. Lee, who was foreman of the De- cember Grand Jury, testified that in Jan- uary an insurance man namfed Bersch gave testimony before that body in its investigation of the Suburban franchise bribery, but Lee said he was unable to identify the defendant as the man who had testified. The Bersch of that occa- sion told the Grand Jury that he knew nething about the $75,000 deposited in the vault and never heard of it. Richard Hospis, cashier of the German Savings Institution, stated tifat Henry Nicholaus, Ellis Wainwright and Charles H. Turaner had given notes to the German Savings Institution for $75,000, and that this sum had been raised and turned over to Philip Stock. John K. Murrell, who returned from Mexico to aid the State in convicting his former fellow members of the House of Delegates’ combine, made his first appear- ance as a witness this afternoon. The witness referred to the combine as “‘an assoclation for the controlling of legisla- tion.”” There were nineteen members, and he named the men, including himself, who were implicated by his confession of September. The assoclation, he said, was formed early in the session. The witness said that the assoclation talked about the price that would be pany 16, WITH A LADDER An Accident Results in Injury to Six Brave Laddies. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn, Oct. 30.—Six firemen were injured at midnight in a fire that entailed a damage estimated at $250,000. The six-story building occupied by the Minneanolis Paper Company, and owned by J. C. Oswald & Co., was gutted. The stock of the paper company, known also as’ Wright, Barrett & Stillwell, was consumed. The contents are sald to have exceeded in value $200,000. Captain George Smith, of Engine Com- was leading; a squad of men up a ladder on an adjoining structure on First avenue when the ladder broke, prey cipitating six men to the ground. Captain \§mith suffered internal in- Jjuries that may prove fatal. Fireman George Cheney .and Frank Hesslk were also badly hurt. The other three firemen ‘were able to reach the city hospital with- out assistance. @ ivivlrimivimiriniminlofuiniuiniuivinininioinl @ charged for passing the pending Sub- urban bill, and various sums were sug- gested,. ranging from $60,000 to $100,000. Bersch, he sald, was a high-priced man and suggested $100,f It was suggested that some one be appointed to look after the matter, and Murrell was named. Mur- rell said that he was instructed ‘to see Philip Stock and demand $75,000, to be paid as follows: $1000 down for each man, one-half the entire sum at the passage of the bill and the other half upon its signature by the Mayor. ¥. E. Murrell, John Helms and George F. Robertson, former members of the House of Delegates, now under indict- ment, were also placed on the witness stand. The State then rested its case. The defense thereupon filed a demurrer on the grounds that Bersch had no direct knowledge that the $75,000 had been de- \osited with the Lincoln Trust Company and that all the evidence adduced was hearsay. The demurrer will be argued to-morrow. Don’t forget to vote against Amendment No. S on the official bal- 28, o 1ot It was formerly known as As- sembly* w tional Amendment T0 MAKE PEACE Warfare in Colombia Is to End With Little Bloodshed. Peiiumrdie s PANAMA, Oct. 30.—There is reason to believe that the Colomblan revolution will now end with lttle or no bloodshed. Confirmation from a reliable source has beéen received here that General Vargas- Santos, the military director of the revo- lutionists, has been negotiating a treaty of peace in Costa Rica with a representa- tlve of the Colomblaa Government. Last week General Vargas-Santos sent a cable message to Governor Salazar —asking leaye to. come here to confer with the Governor personally. To-day General Virgas-Santos repeated this request, and General Salazar replied by cable telling im to come. Much is expected from the approaching conference between these men. X 1t is also.a fact that last Tuesday the revolutionary General Herrera sent a communication to General Salazar insist- ing upon a conference with the Governor of Panama and saying that from it he believed peace would result. This mes- sage was answeréd by Governor Salazar vesterday. He sald he was ready to meet General Herrera. General Herrera's desire for a peace conference is undoubtedly a result of the recent surrender at Rio Frio of General Uribe-Uribe, who was one of the most active of the revolutionary leaders. Swedish-Norwegian Celebration. The Swedes and Norwegians of this city will celebrate the twenty-eighth an- niversary of the Swedish-Norwegian vnion, entered into between the two coun- tries in 1814.
