WHY 1T FAILED.
Gross Mismanagement of
= a Railroad.
:Pangent Paragraphs From the Re-
" ceiVer's Report to Judge
SeaWell

The public in general and the stock
holders of the San Francisco and San
MateO Electric Railway will find an abund-
ahce OF interesting reading matter in the
nrst quarterly report of the receiver Of the
railway made to Judge Seawell yesterday.
The report shows not only how Sanford
Bennett, the receiver, is rebuilding the
road. increasing the receipts and curtail-
ing expenses, but how the road was run
down and involved by the old manage
ment Directors and employees were alike
served with merciless hand.
Il do net think" the receiver wro'e,
.a''that any streetcar road could have de-
generated into more complete state of
allzation-personal, mechanical and
electrleal-than this very San Francisco
and San MateO Railway at the time it was
- placed in my charge
Inc roadbed had been allowed to go
from bad to worse to such an extent that
. the cars were being hammered 10 pieces,
70 tue great discomfort Of the passengers,
II not to their danger.
ne cars had been allowed to run down
70 the lowest possible ebb as regards con-
: clifton of repairs. In the power-hOuse
equipment the apparatus was in a bad
: conoluon, If not quite approxlmating the
dangerous, principally due 10 the incom-
petence of those in charge, in some par
. 1lculars 10 gross ignorance.
I'm no department of the power-house
has any record ever been kept of coal, oil
orEepairS. The caT-Tepair!ng department
=. is absolutely gGiltIeSs of any record OF the
date, time or cost of repairs TO any single
car az any period since the running OF the
road.
Men were allowed to visit saloons
- wlien on duty, ana l cannot but believe
that many OF the accidents that have
occurred would md their cause in this dis
graceful laXlty. 1t appears that the cars
= were run down grades at dangerous rates
OF speed, and bumped across the inter-
: detTin}ent Of the cars in order that the
men might have more time to patronize
ttDe"salO0ns a the end Of their runs"
p :. The receiver states that he has cor
Tected or is enGeavOTing to correct all The
a6uses OF which he has complained. There
ls.AO room now In the poweT-house for
men of Incorporate habits, and the con-
ductor or mOtorman who now speeds his
car IN. order that he may the sooner
assuage the pangs of thirst is persona non
era ia to the receiver.
The earnings of the road from Nav u
to July 81 were as follows: May. eI2-
AT 10; June, S1S694 80; july, S19. 400 90.
averaging about $500 day. The expenses
were: May, $1,000 81; June, SIG, 252 50;
july, Sl6l46 81, averaging about $500
daily. The net daiv earnings were: Nav.
S100 03; June, SS1 81; July, S1O9 p. Since
= the receiver took charge OF the road the
expenses have been reduced about S75 a
day, and none but competent men are
employed.

SAYS ROSE IS GUILTY.
Dr.. Mitchell Writes Letter Concerning
the RiChIand Center Murder

RICHLAND CENTER, Wis, Jan. 90
There is considerable opposition here
to the movement to secure q pardon for
Rose Zoldoske, serving life imprison
ment for the murder Of Ella MaIy. The
remonstrances that are circulating are
receiving many signatures. Judge
Clementson, it is said, Will not sign
the appeal to the governor Tor
pardon, and it is also said that several
if not al the jurors that convicted the
girl have refused to sign. A report has
been current that Dr. Mitchell, with
whom Rose zoldoske is said to have
been in love, and jealousy for Whon i'll
spired the murder Of Miss laly
and the Doctors wife, has signed
the petition for a pardon. Miss
report has caused DR.. Mitchell to pub
licly affirm bis belief in the guiltof Miss
IoldOske and declare thatin his opinion
she merits the sentence passed on her
His letter on the subject is as follows:
am told that there is q report abroad that
| have signed petition tayoring the par
don of Rose ZOldoske. This is absolutely
ton, but | have signed q rcnsOnstrance
against her pardon for the follow
I ing reasons: After q fair trial she
was found guilty by a jury COM
pOScl OF lNJGlllS6nC anu CONSCIENTIOUS men,
Judge ClcmentsOn said that the evidence
fully warranted the verdict" The supreme
court said, We are satisfied no error has
interviewed to her prejudice and th&t the
judgment OF the circuit court be affirmed"
Rose ZoldosISe chose to do wrong, and she
has fallen by her own desperate wicked@ess.
Her sin has found her out, and she now
realizes that the way of transgressors is
hard" Though hand join i'll hand and Lam
caster as we'll as other sympathizers cover
this criminal with roses, yet her way is not
easy. l believe that a just God has used
human instrumentalities to place Rose
Ioldoske III the state prison. 1t
IS not spirit OF revenge that
actuates Us in striving TO keep her
there but we wish to deter others
from committing such hellish crimes.
Also justice demands that she should be
punished and lett where she is so that she
can do no more harm. AS no new evidence
has been adduced III her favor think all
good people should oppose her pardon II
Rose Icidoske IS ever to obtain mercy and
pardon OF that God whom she processes TO
worship she must be truly penitent and
make q full and true confession OF the great
crimes she has committed.
