Philbin, former | | as counsel for certaln stockholders of the Metropolitan Street Railway Company, were made public to-day. This paragraph occurs: It is clear, therefore, when the company's own statements are analyzed, that the interur- ban lease was calculated to provide and has actually provided many millions of dollars in excess of the honest requirements of the | Metropolitan Company. The report also finds that in 1898, 1899, | 1900 and 1901 the Metropolitan Company stated in its annual reports to the State Raflread Commission that it had expended | for construction and equipment a sum in | cash “‘exceeding by millions of dollars the actual sum in cash which is provided by | the company’s general balance sheets to have been so expended.'” { Philbin says the company asked for | $23,000,000 to pay the unfunded debt in- | curred in the purchase of stock of the Third Avenue Company and to defray the | expense of extending the electrical sys- | tem to upward of eighty miles still oper- | ated with horse cars and upon analysis, the report says, only $14,751,684 was re- quired for these two purposes. | The report further says the company { proposed to create a refunding mortgage Lo secure an authorized issue of $55,000,000 of 4 cent one hundred year refunding | bonds, of which about $54,000,000 was to be reserved to retire and refund the twenty- en issues of existing bonds secured by lines upon the various parts of the Met- | ropolitan system, excluding the Third- avenue line. The total issue, was exactly $48,195,000, and not about 000. report continues that while $65,000,- provided for the Central Cross aflroad and its outstanding bonds | change of motive power, a new mortgage was issued on. the PERERRRRRRRRR and for $2.000,000 Central Cross Town Ralroad lines to take up t company’s outstanding bonds and pay for changes of motive power from | horse cars to electric traction, so that the ircrease in bonded debt, instead of being about $11,000,00, as appears to have been | pretended, turns out to be exactly $19,- | 504,000, Other alleged discrepancles involving sums rurning into milllons are shown. | Dealing with the Interurban’s icase the | report says While the Metropolitan Company has been , eince the date of the lease, and f a creditor of the Interurban Com- 0 July last the Metropolitan Com- pany fssued £11,000,000 of its own bonds and turned the proceeds thereof over to the In- | terurban Company, in accordance with the arrangement described In the interurban cir- cular and as agreed upon by panies in the le It is clear that this $11,000,000 was pro- | videa for purpose of enabling the Inter- | to carry out its contract to P guaranteed dividends on the §52,042,000 of Metropolitan stock, for the In terurban Company has no earning capacity of its own and its only earnings are represented by the earnings of the Metropolitan Company itself, which never have been and are not at present equal to 7 per cent on its capital stock.

Robert Shirley, a member of the Mar- ble Cutters' Union, was found suffocated his bed yesterday morning at 421 Bry- ant street. Shirley had been at the Grand Opera-house on the previous evening with a friend and returned home at half-past 3 o'clock yesterday morning. He bade his friend ‘‘good-by” at the door and went to his room. He was very much intoxicated and sick at the stom- ach and lighted the gas in his room after he had taken off his hat and coat. In extinguishing the flame he turned the stopcock open again and went to sleep on top of the bed without making any further attempt to disrobe. The body was found by Joseph Leonard, Shirley’s landlord. Owing to the fact that Shirley was always known to carry a large sum of money on his person and that only a nickel was discovered. De- tective Reynolds was detailed on the case. Shirley’s wife lives in England. Amorous misadventure of 2 mustang admiral, ' In the Wasp's gossip. .

SAN PEDRO, April 16.—After being buf- feted by tempestuous seas until all hope of rescue had passed and he was about to release his hold on the keel of an overturned boat and join in death the companiori who had been drowned an hour before, Gust Lundberg, a sallor, was brought ashore this afternocon by “two herolc skippers. The drowning and rescue occurred dur- ing the height of a storm which raged here all day. Michael McEarney, 40 years of age and a native of Ireland, employed as second mate on the schooner Wawona, attempted to row with Lundberg to the vessel, which is anchored in the outer harbor. When near the breakwater the sKiff capsized and both men were thrown into the water. McEarney sank from sight and his companion saw him no more. Lundberg was fortunate In grab- bing the stern of the overturned boat. ¥or an hour he battled for his life in the furlous sea and Kept up a constant yells ing for help. His cries finally attracted the attention of a family residing near, and word was telephoned Into town. Captain Ralph Peasley of the Wawona and Captain Smith of the schooner Watz- man hurried to the scene and hastily launched a frall skiff which they bor- rowed from a flsherman. At great peril to themselves they made their way against the heavy sea where Lundb-rg was struggling for his life. They finaily reached him and dragged him in safety into their boat. Lundberg was half-un- conscious and totally exhausted when rescued. WEALTHY BOY WANTS JESUIT FOR GUARDIAN Leo Christal Seeks to Have Father Kenna of Santa Clara College Appointed.

IDAHO SPRINGS, Colo.,, April 16— Frank Hallock, superintendent of the Torpedo mine, at this place, was shot and killed by his neighbor, Edward Rowse, a bookkeeper, for an alleged insult offered by Hallock to Rowse's wife. When Rowse went to the Hallock home and demanded an apology from Hallock the latter an- grily denied the charge. A short time afterward, as Rowse was conversing with a friend in the street in front of Hallock's house, the latter appeared at the front door with a shotgun in his hand. Rowse jmmediately opened fire on him, fatally wounding Hallock. As he fell Hallock fired one shot from his gun, wounding Rowse in the arm. The Coroner’s jury this evening returned a verdict to the effect that Rowse acted in self-defense in killing Hallock. Deputy District Attorney J. W. B. Smith imme- diately filed an information against Rowse charging him with murder. Rowse is too badly wounded to be moved and is now guarded at his house.
