K. C. Hobbs for the return of the taxes paid on $99,476 on deposit in commercial banks, but afterward invested in non-taxable securities, may be lawfully allowed, and that no useful purpose would be served by a reference of the matter to the courts. The money was assessed by As- sessor Dodge on the ground that it had been withdrawn from the banks pre- vious to the fir Monday in March, 3 ted in bonds for the sose of evading the taxes thereon, a fact admitted by one of the executors of the estate.

Bradley, principal; Mann, White, | Templeton, Sibley and Winn. Last vears youths e reunion at a downtown restaurant and | went over those days as only boys of more than forty can. The class of '77 ‘ has taken particular pride in the fact | that since its graduation it has never | missed an annual gathering. The fol- lowing were present: Dr. Washing- | ton Dodge, Fred W.

IS GIVEN GENERAL ~ MANAGER JULIUS KRUTTSCHNITT Will Be Harriman Lines a Here by Charles H. Markham of Houston| o | Transportation Director of All nd Will Be Succeeded VLIS | PR TTSCHNLITT A ripple of excitement was created the Southern Pacific building ves- just before the offices closed, the announcement was made in terday when linquish the position of general man- 4ger of the road to accept one { higher authority in Chicago. Within the next ten days a circular will be: issued from the offices of E. H. Harri- man in New York announcing Mr. Kruttschi 's promotion to the posi- tion of ‘“director of transportation” of the Harriman lines, with headquarters in Chicago. The title is to be created | for him, giving him rank with Traf- fic Director J. C. Stubbs in the man- agement of all lines operated by the Harriman syndicate. It was stated yes- terday by Mr. Kruttschnitt that his successor here will be Charles H. Markham, at present vice president and general manager of the Galveston, Harrisburg and San Antonio Raiiway and tWe Houston and Texas Central Railroad in Texas. As yet General Manager Kruttschnitt has not Jearned sust when he will relinquish his duties, here, but he expects that the change will ‘take place within the next four weeks. In the elevation of Mr. Kruttschnitt to the position of director of transpor- tation of the Harriman lines, President E. H. Harriman is carrying out a plan of centralization which ke has had un- der consideration for a long time. His first move in this direction was the ap- pointment of J. C. Stubbs to the posi- tion of traffic director. Next he undei- took the standardizing of all the roads | he controls, and several days ago he ordered Passenger Traffic Manager E. 0. McCormick to Chicago to take ‘charge of the passenger business of the Harriman lines, thus relieving Assist- ant Trafic Director Ben Campbell of part of his duties. Now comes the ad- vancement of Julius Kruttschnitt, and before his plans of centralization are fully effected it is probable that many other changes of a minor character will have been made on the various lines west of Chicago. The announcement of General Man- ager Kruttschnitt's advancement will be received as a pleasant surprise by many of his friends in this ecity, who will naturally accept it as an indica- tion of the great confidence which President Harriman reposes in him. Among fair-minded railroad men throughout the United States, and es- pecially those connected with the man- agement of the Santa Fe road, which 'is a direct competitor of the Souhern Pacific Company for business in the ‘West, Mr. Kruttschnitt bears the rep- utation of being one of the cleverest operators in this country, a fact which the late Collis P. Huntington readily appreciated many years ago, when he began to advance Kruttschnitt in his positions of responsibility until the lat- ter was made general manager of the two great systems of the Southern Pa- cific Company. Charles H. Markham, who is to suc- ceed Kruttschnitt, is widely known In the Western railroad world and most favorable in this city, where he was formerly assistant freight trafic man- ager under J. C. Stubbs. His career as a ralliroad man has been most re- markable, having begun in 1881, when be entered the employ of the Atchi- of | —_— — 4 | ANSPORTATI {ARRIMAN LIN AND HIS ERAL MANAGE!

He later joined when he was made agent | Nev. | ed dist at’ Reno, of the company at Fresno, and the isams year saw him promoted to the position of general freight and pas- senger agent of the Southern Pacific Company lines in Oregon., From 1 there he came to San Francisco to ac- cept the position of assistant freight traffic manager, from which, however, he soon resigned to go to Houston as general manager of the Southern Pa- cific lines in Texas. He has had much experience both in the traffic and op- erating departments of railroads, and naturally is well qualified to take up the duties out to be relinauished by Mr. Kruttschnitt. It was stated yesterday that Mr. Markham is expected in San Fran- cisco in about ten days. Mr. Krutt- schnitt departed last evening for Salt Lake, and will return next week un- less his plans are changed in the meantime. ———————— he Germans have been gdietly the Rhine, a fortress.

A Question Often Asked by Those Af- flicted With Piles. Is a strained joint curable? cal inflammation curable® Of course, it properly treated. So is piles. People often become afflicted + with piles and ask some old “chronic” who has always persisted in the wrong treatment, and naturally he discour- ages them by telling them that their case is hopeless. They in turn discourage others, and thus a disease.that can in every case be cured by careful and skillful hand- ling is allowed to sap the energy of thousands who might free themselves of the troubie in a few days. Pyramid Pile Cure will cure the most aggravated case of hemorrhoids in an astonishingly short time, lteves the congested parts, reduces the tumors instantly no matter how large, allays the inflammation and stops the aching or itching at once.

At the Fire Commissioners yesterday the ré- port of City Engineer Grunsky and Consulting Engineer Stut was rejected as not being in harmony with the work for which they had been em- ployed and for which the sum of $500 had been appropriated by the Board of Supervisors. This work was to de- vise a plan by which the city could secure an abundant supply of salt | water from the ocean for the Fire | Department, street sprinkling and the flushing of sewers, The object desired by the officials is that a reserveir be placed on Twin | Peaks containing about 10,000,000 gal- lons of salt water, which would be ample to meet all requirements of ths Fire Department in case:of a great conflagration without having to de- pend on the supply furnished by the Spring Valley Water Company. Engineer Grunsky and his confrere dealt more, according to the views en- tertained by the Commissioners, with the securing ¢. a sufficient water sup- ply from the Spring Valley Water Company and the limited salt water supply conducted by the Olympic Club, which had been offered for city use, than with @ plan to'furnish a sup- ply independent of all sources con- trolled by companies or corporations. President Boyne has given the members of the Fire Department to ; understand that visiting saloons while { in uniform will not be tolerated. For | an infraction of this rule J. J. Mitchell of chemical engine No. 3 was fined ten days’ pay and ordered to be repri- manded by his superior officer. —————— | ILLUSTRATED LECTURE ON { ST.
