WHY SAN FRANCISCO HOWIS
Indignant Protests From the Interior
of the State
[san Jose Daily Record, April 15th.l

San Jose Daily Record, April I5th.1
The clash between the Railroad Com
missioners and the recently formed
Traffic Association of San Francisco has
had the effect of drawing considerable at
tention to that self same Traffic Associa-
ton, and has resulted in good deal of
hard thinking on the part of the interior
merchants OF the State. The association
wanted the Railroad Commission to ma ke
sweeping changes in the freight tariff.
Its mouthpiece, Leeds, didn't seem to
know exactly what changes were de-
specific statements in regard to the de-
sires of the association. The plain facts
OF the case are that the Traffic Association
dare not avow its real views and objects,
for if it did, the howl of indignation and
protest that would be heard from the in
terror of the State would wipe the orgsali-
zation out of existence. The merchants
of San Francisco want freight tariff that
would discriminate in favor of that city,
and compel interior merchants to trade
there. Interior cities which are terminals
are now competing with San Francisco,
and if the Traffic Association had its way
it would soon put a stop to this. 1t would
abolish all interior terminals, and have
freight shipped from the East TO san
Francisco cheaper than to Sacramento.
Stockton, Marysville, San Jose or Los
Angeles. San Francisco is hoggish, and
howls and rails at alleged extortion of
the railroad company, when it is really
bowling because the railroad company
will not practice extortion ON the interior
cities for its beneIit.

Means Resorted to for the Purpose of
Getting Insurance Money.
SEATTLE (Wash.l, April 22.-The in
quest on the human remains found in
the ruins of VIM. Radlof's house, which
was burned last week, was held this
afternoon, and the testimony showed
that they are those of j. b. Levin, who
was buried in Greenwood Cemetery on
February 18th. 1t also confirmed the
story OF a conspiracy to defraud the life
insurance companies by making it ap-
pear that RadlOtf was burned to death
Louis kostranch, one of the conspirators
who has confessed, told how Radloff and
his wife had agreed in the plot; that he
ana Radlotf stole the body from the cem-
etery last March and buried it in Radloffs S
chlcken-yard. The latter then had his
life insured.
Last Friday they piled dry bark on the
mattress in the house, saturated it with
coal oil and dressed the body in Radlotfs
clothes. Radlotf crushed the skull and
cut OF both legs to create the impression
OF murder. Then they lighted a candle
with a waXed string running to pile of
shavings on the floor and left the house,
he (kostranch) coming to Seattle and
Radlotf going to Ballard.
Mrs. Radlotf, dressed in mourning to-
day testified that she believed her nus
band was dead. She had him insure his life
because tortune-teller told her he would
die in year. She was preparing to 90
to Germany when the fire occurred.
n mass OF testimony was given show
ing the corpse to be that of Levin, and
that it was stolen by Radloff. The Coro-
ner's jury found accordingly. Kostranch
and Mrs. Radloh were held on charge
of arson

MOUNTAINS AND MOLEHIIJs
Damage Done the State BY Sensational
NeWspapers.

Santa Rosa Republican, April 2Ist.1
There was an earthquake in California
the other day. 1t wrecked some build
lngS In one or two towns and considerably
excited number of our people, Nobody
was Killed or even injured and vet the
occurrence was heralded throughout the
country as indeed very great disaster.
Daily papers published in California
have preceded their account of the quake
with startling headlines calculated to
convey the impression that California
was shaken all to pieces by the seismic
disturbance of Tuesday night.
Let us look at this matter in the light of
the facts as they are now known.
Scarcely week passes without receiving
reports of storms in other parts of the
country that do many times the damage
of our recent earthquakes. Towns are
totally wrecked by such storms and often
large numbers of people are killed.
Within month we have had reports of
such destructive storms in almost every
State east of the Rocky Mountains and
people seem to take them as matter OF
course.
In this country buildings are not gen
orally as we'll constructed as in lands ac-
custOmed to storms. Walls of brick
structures are lighter and foundations
not SO secure, Such buildings would not
stand long in great wind storm of the
earthquake and go down some times is
not to be wondered at.
That our planet is passing throuph a
series of disturbances, both atmospheric
and in the earth's crust, is evident. In
one section the resistless wind or the de-
structive cyclone does its disastrous
work; in another earthquakes are felt.
Since we began writing this article a very
decided tremOr was felt here at ga
o'clock this Thursday morning, but no
damage whatever was done, and we be-
lleye If buildings throughout the State
had been properly constructed the de-
struction OF property by the recent dis
turbances would have been very slight.
We doubt if it is enterprise and good
policy for newspapers to make the most
OF damaging occurrences. The recent
earthquake was in one OF the fairest and
most prolific sections of the State. We
are advised by wire that to-day's shaking
was most severe there, and still all the
damage done is not One-tentll as great as
that OF the earthquakes that in the past
have visited South Carolina and the
Missouri Valley. Nobody is going to
leave the Vacaville and Winters country
on account of anything that has occurred
there. They are not likely ever again to
be damaged by an earthquake, but the
recent fright will lead them to build with
greater care in the future.
We repeat that too much has been made
OF this matter by California newspapers.
In the entire history of our State not a
dozen people have been killed by earth
quakes, and the damage done has been
comparatively small. 1t is not good
policy to try to make mountains of mole
hills.

passengers were hurt to any considerable
extent, although a few were bruised
through the shock hurling them against
the seats. The crew Of the train was not
so lucky, and one man was killed while
three others received severe bruises and
lacerations.
In the cab of the engine were Fireman
LattImer and Engineer Halliday. Both
stuck to their posts, and the former was
killed outright in the accident. The jar
threw him forward and against the ma
chinery, and then backward, and he top
pied from tho doorway of the cab into the
crowd of frightened and wounded cattle
that were struggling beneath the wheels.
Engineer Halliday received several
scalp wounds and bruises, but sustained
no serious injury. w. S. Gwinn, the ex-
pressman, and j. Sullivan, the baggage
man. were also bruised and scratched,
but their injuries are reported TO be very
slight.
AS soon as the accident was reported at
Yuma a gang of men was sent out to clear
away the wreck. The wrecking crew
found this much easier than they had
been led to believe, and in six hours the
derailed cars were replaced on the track
and the East-bound trip resumed. The
body of the dead fireman was brought
back to Yuma and will be forwarded to
Los Angeles

SAN Francisco, April 22.-Charles d.
Smith, wealthy resilient of New York,
shot himself at the Palace Hotel some
time last night and was found dead in his
room this noon. 1t is supposed he COM
mltted suicide on account of despond-
ency.
Smith came to this city about three
weeks ago, and at once went to the Pal
ace. He was not communicative, and
1t is very little indeed that the people at
the hotel knew about him. He spent
money freely, and always had plenty of
cash about him. From one or two of his
remarks it is believed he was a capitalist
with very large income,
He was seen by bell-boy to go to his
room, No. 275, shortly before midnight.
Strangely enough, no one heard a sound
in his room after that. About l:30 o'clock
this afternoon a cham bermaid, who had
knocked at the door of the room several
times during the forenoon without get
ting an answer, reported the matter at
the office. A man with duplicate keys
was sent upstairs at once and the room
was opened. Smith was found lying
dead on the bed. An old-fashioned re-
VoIVer, that had apparently dropped
from his hand, was on the coverlid near
by. The dead man had on only his
underclothes, shirt and a pair of
trousers. Appearances indicated that he
had placed the muZzle of the weapon
against his chest and pulled the trigger,
the ball passing through the heart.
No note was found to throw any light
upon the matter. However, yesterday
Smith, while iD conversation with one of
the hotel pmNlQVpS said that he had hpan
sick SO much of late that he was very

for the San Francisco house which he
wanted as q matter of sentiment. This
was supposed to bring his share up to

The rea! settlement it is now admitted.
was at about Sl,000,000 more, and the
properties given to Hopkins are so
largely undeveloped that natural expan-
sion, at little effort, will in few years,
it is said, make them worth at least
S10,000,000. Considerable part of the es-
tate was undeveloped properties. Searles
is not a business man. and has an ample
fortune in the present face value of his
Inheritance. He wants to live in the
East, and would not engage in any busi-
ness Of lumber or real estate develop
ment at the expense of his ease. Hop
kins is young and active, and recognized
