Alfred Lilienfeld & Co. 201 and 203 Kearny Street At Northwest Corner Sutter St. Twentieth Century Clothiers High-Grade Tailoring Imported Flaberdashery o NG THE RIGH e brought to public notice a provision that was not generally known, but which the Western Pacific Company was quick to take adantage of in looking about for terminul facilities. When the charter was adopted there was inserted a provision making it mandatory for | the City Council to grant franchises in {2 certain district. As the franchises {applied for by the Western Pacific to- day le in this district, the City Coun- cil nas no choice in the matter. It must grant the franchises when they are demanded. The district thus affected lies west and south of a dividing line which be- gins at Halleck street ard the charter line, proceeds southerly along Wood radivs of three-quarters of a mile t the foot of Cypress street and proceeds | thence to the eastern limits of the city along the right of way of the Southern Pacific Company on First street. Roughly speaking, the district is that portion of the city that lies west of i Wood strcet and south of Iirst street, { The subdivision of the charter re- ferred to follows: It shail be the duty of the Council and the Council is hereby requirsd to grant to any railroad company or corporation applying | therefor a franchise to lay and maintain tracks pass with steam railroads along, upon !across or elevated above or piaced below any | street or streets within that portion of the ; city which lies within a certain dividing line. After giving a technical description of the dividing line already deseribed, the charter continues: And the Council shall upon said portion of the city grant equal privileges, subject to the general laws of the State of California, to all raiiroad companies or corporations to enter the city and optrate and maintain rallroads for the convenience of the pyblic, to and upon the water front of the city, and shall grant to such companies or corporations, without dis- criminating between them. the right to con- struct and maintain freight and passenger depots. engine-houses, workshops, wharves, docks, slips, ferries, landing places and other terminal facilities, provided no franchise for ]ri:ht of way shall exceed fifty feet {n width and no terminal facilities upon land exceeding | | 1060 feet of frontage on the water front shall be granted to any one company or corporation or to any companies and corporations under one management or control. | The Western Facific has kept within these provisions, having asked for a right of way Afty feet wide and a ! franchisc for a wharf] and ferry slips 1000 feet wide. % The Western Pacific has included with- in the boundaries of its proposed terminal site cn the bay a tract of fllled land 1000 feet wide at the west or bay end, where the ferry slips are to be located. This width is maintained about half-way land- ward, and then angles to 600 feet, re- maining at that width until the fill closes at the low tide line of 1856. That line as delineated on the United States Govern- ment maps runs at an approximate right angle to the north bend shoreward of the training wall at a point where the South- ern Pacific started its trestle, which was blocked by the American Dredging Com- pany's injunction. A little north of this point is where the Western Pacific has surveyed its right of way line across the Southern Pacific yards and on to the filled lands. With its sight of way through the Bouthern Pacific yards, the Western Pa- cific, as indicated by the official maps filed to-day, is given a commanding posi- tion on San Francisco Bay, equal to that occupied by either the Southern Pacific Company or the Santa Fe system. The maps show that the most careful study from engineering points of view has been given the situation, for the Western Pa- cific -has selected a terminus which will give it as prominent a position for its transbay service as that of the Southern Pacific, its nearest neighbor.

Prior went to the hotel on Monday afternoon. He did not leave it between Monday afternocon and the time of his déath. All this morning, aceording to the at- taches of the hotel, he paced restlessly up and down the corridors. Shortly after noon N. B. Hasbrouck of the firm called to see Prior. They had a long talk. They sat in Prior’s room and Has- brouck evidently made efforts to arouse Prior from his nervousness. In killing himself Prior evidently stood in front of a mirror. One bullet is still in his head. The other went clear through the temples and broke a picture on an opposite wall. George B. Denison, brother of the senfor member of the firm, sald he could r:t understand Prior's desire to end his ife. Prior was about 45 years of age, mar- ried and had two children. He was president of the Cleveland Btock Exchange and a member of the Exchange and the Chicago Board of Trade. The firm of Denlson, Prior & Co. was one of the heaviest dealers in stocks and bonds in the Central West. Prior has been foremost in financing a number of large brewery consolidations in Ohio and other States. Charles E. Denison, senlor member of the firm, who arrived to-day from his home in Boston, and who has control of the Eastern bond business of the firm, said to-night that in order to ordered the business closed and request- ed a committee to assist him In making a thorough and complete investigation of the affairs of the firm. I believe,” he added, “it will be found that large stock transactions were the cause of Mr. Prior's act.” The members of the committee are prominent bankers.

On account of the continual anarchy the summer crops were meager, and the revo- lutionary peasants, who are living in the woods of destroyed estates, are forced by famine to attack and plunder villages where military protection is slight, and are perpetrating inhuman outrages. A number of the chief agitators at Win- dau and Geldingin, which places were oc- cupied by troops after they had been for several weeks in the hands of the insur- gents, were tried by drumhead court- martial and shot. *ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 9.—The success which thus far has attended the cam- paign against the violent revolutionists has plainly encouraged the Government that the worst is over for the winter. Except in the Baltic provinces, where the prevailing anarchy is likely to con- tinue indefinitely, some semblance of or- der is being gradually restored in the empire. The Socialists and revolutionists stoutly maintain that the present lull is only a truce over the holidays, and from mys- terious hiding places the leaders continue issuing orders to refuse all compromise with imperiallsm, to boycott the National Assembly and to prepare for a great armed Insurrection. The Government, however, professes confidence that the revoiutionists will not quickly recover the loss of strength and prestige which they have suffered. Disorders on a small scale and acts of terrorism are expected to con- tinue and something in the nature of a general demonstration is expected for January 22, but a great rising in the im- mediate future is regarded in Government circles as impossible. The next real crisis is not expected un- til the Natlonal Assembly meets or the spring sets the peasants in motion. Count von Vorontzoff-Dashkoff, Viceroy of the Caucasus, in a telegram to the Emperor dated January 7, says: “Owing to the interruption of communi- cation and the spreading of false reports| by the revolutionaries, the movement of ‘the latter is on the increase. The revolu- tionaries have seized the railroads, which they ars using for their own purposes. They are organizing general strikes and are endeavoring to influence employes of the Government. The district of Tiflls has been declared in a state of slege. At many of the rafiroad depots bombs have been discovered. Several agitators have been arrested. “Tartars and Armenians are in conflict in Baku, Erivan, Daghestan and Kars.” B) —————e—————— ACTOR WHO TOOK HIS LIFE ON BEACH KNOWN IN ARIZONA SANTA CRUZ, Jan. 9.—Chief of Po- lice Clark to-day received a telegram from City Marshal Stambaugh of Doug- las, Arizona, giving some clew to iden- tity of the supposed stranded actor who committed suicide on the beach here last Friday.

ROGERS [i{ [ NEARINC™ Oil Trust Official to Be Haled Before|pirt gicetion Will Take New York’s Supreme Tribunal. Must Show Cause Why He Should Not|y o Be Compelted to Answer Questions. ®EW YORK, Jan. 9.—The question whether Henry H. Rogers can be com- pelled to tell Attorney General Herbert S. Hadley of Missouri whether the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey owns or controls three oil companies which are selling oil in Missouri as separate companies will be placed be- fore the Supreme Court of New York! State to-morrow. All the important | questions which Rogers has declined to | answer by advice of counsel in the last three days of the hearing In this city were presented to the Supreme Court to-day by counsel acting in behalf of | Attorney General Hadley, and the court | was asked to order Rogers to show cause why he should not answer them. The court order was issued to-day and | served on Willlam V. Rowe, counsel for Rogers, while the hearing was still in | progress. Hadley said, after consulta- tlon with counsel, that he understood that he would have to be represented by counsel in this argument, but tnat he hoped to get in a few words before the court. The gquestions are In a diversity of, form, but in substance they all are: | “Does the Standard Ofl Company of New Jersey, either through its own or /| any other person or corporation, own, | hol@ or control a majority of the stock of the Waters-Pierce Oil Cmpany of | Missouri, the Standard Oil Company o([ Indiana, and the Republic Oil Company | of New York?” ,. ROGERS WILL NOT ANSWER. | No matter in what form the question has been put, Rogers has declined to answer it. The Commissioner before whom the evidence is being taken Is! powerless to compel an answer, but the Supreme Court possesses the authority to order Rogers to be punished for ¢ontempt of court if he decline to an- swer after having been ordered to do 80 by that court. Hadley wants this information to| show that the three alleged subsidiary or confederated companies are monop- olizing the oil trade of Missouri in com- bination, and to induce the Missouri courts to order them ousted from that | Stete, An interesting feature of the hear- ing to-day was an invitation sent by Hadley to Thomas W. Lawson of Bos- ton requesting him to come to New York/and testify if he can give any information as to the three companies Hadley is trying to drive out of Mis- souri. Rogers again declined, while on the stand to-day, to disciose the stock ownership of the three companies, and was severely admonished by Hadley to | treat the hearing seriously and not as “funny.” The hearing probably will be ad- Journed temporarily to-morrow mora- ing to permit attendance upon the court hearing on the order to Kogers. PIERCE ELUDES SUBFENA SERVER. The subpena server who has been trymng for several days to summon H. Clay Pierce to testify before the com- missicn in this case notified Hadley to-night that he had been unable to get Pierce, who, he sald, had sailed away oan a steam yacht. Plerce is chairman of the board of directors of the Waters-Pierce Oil Company of Mis- souri and father of the president of that company. The subpena server said that he had pursued Plerce through a suite of rooms in a hotel oecupied by Pierce, but that the oil man had locked himsélf in his chamber. The server then desisted. John D. Archbold, vice president and director of the Standard Oil Company, and William G. Rockefeller, nephew of John D. Rockefeller, were present at the hearing to-day. They have been subpenaed as witnesses, but were not called to testify to-day. Eugene Carney, who followed Rog- ers on the stand to-day, sala he was a police ofticer at 26 Broadway. “to look after peddlers and beggars.” Carney proceeded to give a modified imitation of Rogers. He knew James Moffett and C. L. Nichols and possibly J. D. Carroll, but with the exception of Nich- ols he could pot state that they had offices at 26 Broadway. “Do you remember in August, 1904, that you said te a person that you knew all the men and that they had been employed In that building for some time?” “I decline to answer, counsel.” “Who employed your Standard Uil Company? “I decline to answer.” SANBORN LOSES PATIENCE. “Ask the witness if he has been told not to answer questions,” said Com- missioner F. H. Sanborn. “This looks like a preconcerted action.” Hadley asked a long string of ques- tions, which the witness declined to answer. “If there is any question which you will answer or any Information which you will give, please offer it” said Hadley. ¥ “I decline to answer on advice of counsel,” saild Carney. Carney was excused and Howard Page, who sald he is connected with the foreign department of the Standard Ofl Company, was called. He was questioned as to whether certain per- sons had offices at 26 Broadway, but declined to answer almost every ques- tion, by direction of the Standard Oil Company’'s attorneys. A. V. Jockel next took the stand. ‘He said in reply to a question: * “A representative of the Water: Plerce Company told me that the Stan- on advice of counsel, the dard Oil Company got control of the ‘Waters-Plerce Company through the Mexican railroad deal. I got my in- the Waters-Pierce Company on to the Standard Oil Com- pany’s methods from R. P. Tinsley of: St. Louis. Mr. Young of New York told me to preserve absolute secrecy as to my having been employed by the ! Standard Oil Company.” H E. T. Bedford, who next took the stand, also declined to answer impor- | tant questions. OWNS “COMPETING” COMPANIES. | H. C. Hardcastle was recalled. He sald that while in the employ of the Standard Oil Company he' was trans- ferred to the Anglo-American Oil Com- pany in England by direction of W. P. r, then manager of the Albany office of the Standard Oil Company. ‘When he went to Cleveland for the Standard Oil Company, he sald, Terrell { told him that the price pald for the business of - Scofield, Schurmer & Teagle was $1,300,000 in cash and a daughter, Mrs. J.

Wade Hampton, general auditor of accounts at 26 Broadway, declined to answer all important questions, refus- ing even to describe his own duties. SRR LAWSON NOT TO TESTIFY. Bostonlan Has No Definite Information to Impart. BOSTON, Jan. 9.—In reply to a tele- gram from Attorney General Hadley, asking him to give any testimony in his possession in regard to the Stand- ard Oil Company of Indiana and two other ajl producing corporations, Thomas W. Lawson to-night sent a lengthy telegram to Hadley. Lawson informed the Attorney General that he personally knew nothing of the rela- tions between the Standard Ofl Com- | pany of Indiana, the Republic Ofl Com- pany and the Waters-Plerce Company and that while he was aware of certain acts of the Standard Oil “monopoly” he | could not “fairly come within the wise restrictions” of Hadley's telegram. “While I have no personal knowledge of these three things of which your tele- gram treats,” continued Lawson, “I have sufficient general knowledge of the subject of your investigation to make it appear farcical to me that you, with the power of the great State of Mis- souri at ycur back, should want the testimony of any one other than the band of conspirators at 28 Broadway and their hirelings to prove any case in which the name ‘Standard Oil' ap- pears.” BRIOCE BURNED B RIAL ROA PORTLAND, Or., Jan. 9.—The contro- versy between E. H. Harriman's Oregon Rallroad and Navigation Company and James J. Hill's Portland and Seattle Rall- way Company over the crossing point of the raflroads just north of Portland as- sumed a decidedly sensational aspect to- day. Several weeks ago the Oregon Rallroad and Navigation Company commenced con- demnation proceedings against the College Endowment Association. About the same time the Portland and Seattle road pur- chased a right of way across’the associa- tion’s land and buflt a grade. To-day the Circuit Court granted the Oregon Railroad and Navigation Company a verdiet of condemnation against the College Endow- ment Association. To-night a gang of men under direc- tion, it is alleged, of the Oregon Railroad and Navigation Company, went to the disputed point, tore up a hundred feet of track and burned a bridge which the Portland and Seattle Company had con- structed across the Oregon Raflroad and Navigation Company’s right of way. ‘Williams, Wood and Linthicum, at- torneys for the Portland and Seattle Comipany. as soon as they learned of the Oregon Rallroad and Navigation Company's action, applied for a re- straining order against that company. It was, however, a matter of consider- able work to prepare the necessary pa- pers and get them to the disputed point. When the Oregon Railroad and Navigation Company desisted work in obedience to the injunction it had made a cut several feet In depth and was ready to lay rails. It is understood that the Oregon Railroad and Navigation Company will fight the injunction on the ground that Place To-Morrow in the Division of Ipswich ON SATURDAY This Week's Balloting Will Indicate the Drift of the National Sentiment ——in LONDON, Jan. 9.—Some changes are tnvolved in the latest arrangement for the beginning of the elections. The first election will take place at Ipswich on January 1l. There appears to be some difference of opinion regarding the legal- ity of such an early date, but all four candidates for Ipswich have agreed not to raise this gquestion. Twenty-five elections In various dis- tricts will take place on January 18, in- cluding all the districts of Manchester, in which city former Premier Balfour and Winston Spencer Churchill are run- ning. Ju’z:for Lord of the Treasury, and George Wyndbam, former Chief Secretary for Ireland, are among the candidates for election on January 13. ‘ne election at Greemwich will take place on January 15. On the latter date also elections will be held In & large number of the outlying divisions of Lon- don and throughout the eountry, the re- sults of which will show the drift of the popular vote. ‘Among the contestants on January 15 will be H. O. Arnold-Forster, former Sec- retary for War; Herbert John Gladstons, Secretary for Home Affairs; Gerald Bal- four, former president of the Hoard of Trade; James Bryce, Chief Secretary for Ireland, and Sir Henry Harmley Fowler, Chancellor for the Duchy of Lancaster. A number of prominent leadefs on both stdes addressed large meeting to-day. Among these was Sir Henry Campbeil Bannerman, the Premier, who spoke at Liverpool, where he was hectored by the woman suffragists. The Premier said that personally he was in favor of suf- frage for women, but that he declined to pledge his party in the matter. Several of the women were ejected. REDWOOD CITY WSTED BY FIRE REDWOOD CITY, Jan. 10.—Fire broke out here shortly after midnight and at 1 o'clock this morning was still burning. The City Laundry, Anderson's saloon and the shoe factory are In flames. There.is no wind and it fs thought that the fire- men will soon have the fire under control The laundry and shoe factory probably will be a total loss. The loss on the laundry will be about $10,000, with practically no insurance. The total loss probably will reach §15,000. The origin of the fire is unknown. ————————— To Cure a Cold in One Day Take LAXATIVE BROMO Quinine Tablets Druggists refund money it it falls to cure. E. W.
