DIR. STANTON'S FIGURES.
Makes Every Allowance and Then
Shows Big Railroad
SurpiuS

Railroad Commissioner Stanton attacked
the figures of the Southern Pacific merci-
lessly yesterday in a supplemental atfi-
davit filed with the clerk of the United
States court.
The Railroad Commission was given
until January to file its pleadings in an
swer to the Southern Pacific SYSTEMS bill
of complaint, but meanwhile the de-
PENDANTS are doing some deadly work in
arithmetic.
In his affidavit of yesterday DR.. Stanton
at once starts out to prove that the bill of
complaint is not a reliable document, SO
far as 1t purports to show the financial
standing of the railroads. He takes up
the annual reports submitted by the roads
in September and October of last year to
the Railroad Commission for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1894, and draws some
startling conclusions.
According to the showing then made by
the Southern Pacific road proper, in Cali
fornia its total income was given as S., 49,
2i5 Al; its total deductions footed up 50 l59,-
4l2 81, and its net income, 81 2S9, S32 65. On
its common stock it paid a per cent divi-
dend, aggregatiIg 81, ,892,6 ,642 68, and made
other payments, which it did not itemlZe,
however, amounting to 81 ,504 1865 65. Ac-
cording to the report there was an alleged
deficit OF 81 ,251 ,57o. 1t is the method OF
ascertaining this deficit which DR.. Stanton
proceeds to explain. He deposes:
This alleged deficit of $1,251 ,57S is
arrived at by taking the difference between
said aggregate of the 8 per cent and the SO
called other payments from the said net
income and the net income, and not other.
wise. That, therefore, there was not de-
ficit, but, on the contrary, surplus of at
least $7S4 ,S67."
The affiant believes that the real sur
plus was considerably greater than the
figure he demonstrates and the amount of
81, ,504, 1865 65, representing the item of
"other payments from net income" was
mot part of the legitimate expense
chargeable against the operations of the
road, Jbut was, in part at least, part of
the unpaid expense of preceding years"
In short Commissioner Stanton's opinion
is that this item simply represents money
paid out on old accounts against the road
and should not have been included as legiti-
mate expenses for that year, and as such
deducted from the income.
For the other roads he makes the fol-
lowing construction of figures:

though it bore a common republican title
it was not beneath the child of royalty.
He played his part like a man, and his
stage presence was of such character as to
best display his versatile silence, which
was singular and profound. He came on,
accompanied by Lady Douglas, just at the
right time to be witness to the two
stranded marriage of Freddy Butterscotch
and Carrie Macclesfeld and Theodore
MaccIesfeld and Kate Butterscotch. AS
he entered through the center door of
the parlor-set stage a wild and tumult-
Gus shout went up, and then Sholto and
Lorita, having reached the circular settee,
went down. The dialogue that was carried
on around them was mere prattle COM
pared to the CLEANS of intelligence that
chased each other across the benign
countenance of the Lord. His expression
was one of the most complete repose, and
was only interrupted by an occasional
glance at some convenient place where he
could compose his hands. Finding none,
he was content with losing them in the
inner confines of his spacious Prince
Albert and his Piccadilly white vest.
Although he was billed to make some
remarks on the importance of matrimon y
he failed to do So This little oversight,
however, cut n o ice with the audience. and
they seemed to realize that his Lords ship
knew his business and understood how
capable he was of handling silent role.
Mr.. Grover, who played the part of Tbeo-
dore Macclesfeld Sr., the deaf boatman,
certainly must have heard the calmness of
Sholto. 1t was the quietest calm that
ever appeared on the American stage, and
has no equal even in death.
That Lord Douglas has great histrionic
ability there is no longer any doubt. His
first appearance was a success and his 81
lence was charming.
AS to the play in it's entirety, it COM
menced with complications, closed with
complications and in some respects is still
a complication. Frank Powers, as the
Governor, was clever in his excitement,
but showed extreme ignorance OF the art
of selecting a husband for his daughter
Kate, who had more pronounced eye for
beauty and had fixed herself upon the
young man who played Theodore Maccles-
field Jr., who, by the way, is good Gam
BILE for any theatrical manager. Hereward
Hoyt made pretty good Freddy Butter
scotch, and so long as he kept his coat on
looked the part of yachtsman, which he
played in the first and second acts.
Leonard Grover Jr. as the deaf sailor and
father of several of the leading characters
beloved and roared like most sailors of
fiction, but if he continues to play the part
for sufficient number of weeks the droop
to his under jaw will necessitate him
tying it up with baling rope In order to
get his face together for more fashion
able impersonation.
J. 7. Terrence as Paul Pry was made up
to resemble Congressman Frank Newlands
OF Nevada, and it was evident from his
conduct that he knew which side of the
tence he was on. 1t can be said OF Mr..
Terrence that what he did was good.
Miss Grace Hopkins and Miss Nellie
Young, who played the two sweethearts

question of the relation of railroad COM
missions to the railroads. In conclusion
he said: eff the United States Attorney
General has sanctioned the Intervention
proceedings do not see how any good can
be accomplished now by appealing to the
President of the United States, and for
that reason l am not in favor of asking
Congressman Mcguire to interfere in the
matter"
Attorney-General Fitzgerald, when
showed copy of Mr.. Clunie's letter, read
it with surprised interest, but declined to
pass any opinion relative to it, as it had
not yet been referred to him, as he be-
lieved it would be.
The Attorney-General was occupied all
day yesterday In consultation with Judge
Hayne, preparing for the proceedings on
Monday next before Judge McKenna,
when the matter of the granting of an
injunction against the commission pen
dent lite will be argued, and when United
States District Attorney Foote will move
to be allowed to intervene on behalf of the
United States in the case of the Southern

RICH WIDOWS HIS PREY,
What the Police Know About
Arlington, With Many
Aliases.
He Is Again Arrested for Robbing a
Widow of a Diamond
BreaStpin.

Arthur Arlington, who was arrested in
San Jose last week and brought to this
City by Detective Reynolds, was arraigned
in Judge Conlan's court yesterday morn
ing on the charge of grand larceny. He
pleaded not guilty and his preliminary ex-
animation was set for next Thursday.
AS previously stated in THE CALL, the
charge on which Arlington has been ar
rested is for stealing diamond breastpin
of the value of 500 from Mrs. Lulu Patter-
son, widow living at 867 Howard street,
in August last.
Arlington has for the past fifteen years
been known to the police as swindler Of
women. He is now about 50 years of age
of pleasing address. He was first arrested
in 1882 for robbing woman he had prom
ised to marry.
For this crime he was sent to San Quen-
tin on August 26. 1882, for five years. At
that time he was known as Llewellyn Mil
Ter, alias Charles Holman, alias r. N. San
ders, alias S. P. Danforth, alias Garfield.
Soon after being released from the peni-
tentiary he commenced his operations
again. His plan was get acquainted with
as many wealthy widows as possible. To
some he represented himself as wealthy
miner, and to others as a wealthy rancher
in search of nice wife to soothe his de-
clining years, AS soon as he got them
sufficiently interested he took the first op.
portunity to rob them of whatever was
most available in coin or jewel-y.
He was arrested for robbing another
woman in March, 1887, and on April 4 was
sent to San Quentin for ten years. He was
released on October 8, 1893, and went East,
as San Francisco was getting too hot for
him.
When Mrs. Patterson reported to the
police in August last that a wealthy
rancher from Los Angeles had been pay
her of her diamond breastpin, 1t was sus-
pected that the man with the many aliases
had returned and Detectives Gilsen and
Reynolds were detailed to find him.
He had left this City, however, and
taken up his temporary residence in San
Jose, where he was successful in robbing
several widows there. He was arrested.
but his victims refused to prosecute him,
so he was handed over to the police here.

Test of the -onstitutionality of the New
Act Will BE Made by Due
Process.

Omaha, Aug. 5.-The answer Of the A.
p. A. police commissioners to the petit
ton of the regular board of fire and po-
lice commissioners was filed in the
district court today. The hearing
comes up in the morning and will be in
the nature of a test of the costitution-
atty of the new law under which the A.
p. A. is acting. The petition claims
that premeditated plan was arranged
by certain individuals to render the
law void; also that the injunction pro-
cured by Mayor Bemis restraining the
city council from approving the defen-
dants' bonds is unjust, and the petition
says it was procured with fraudulent
purpose and design.
The answer concludes: IF any dual
board of commissioners exists it will
be because of said plaintiffs, in viola
ton of the law and in puruance to a
long before preconceived plan and in
pursuance of an agreement to set aside
the law and to violate the same, will
continue, through the police force as
aforesaid wrongfully organized, con-
trolled and created to exercise the func-
lions pertaining to said board.
The defendants maintain that the
plaintiffs can not try the constitution

today as far as the police muddle is
concerned.

Si5O.00O Consumed.
Cincinnati, Ohio, Aug. 5.--About p.
m. fire broke out in the Big Sandy
wharf boat. 1t spread rapidly and soon
swept out the wharf boats of the Lou
isville Mail line. and New Orleans and
Memphis lines. Everything along the
public landing was going. At 2:30 the
big steamers Carrolton and Big Sandy
were burned and everything in port
threatened. Before o'clock the fire
was under control. but a number of
wharf boats were totally destroyed.
Others were damaged. and the two
steamers, the Big Sandy and Carroll
ton, burned to the waters edge. The
loss on the Big Sandy is $685. 900, on the
Carrolton $4,000, not including cargoes.
The loss on the wharf boats makes the
total over 100000.
The Big Sandy came in today from
Louisville and was unloading and
loading preparatory to returning to
Louisville tonight when the fire broke
out in some baled hay. 1t spread like
an explosion to the wharf boats and
the Carrolton, which was next to the
Big Sandy, could not pull out in time
to save herself. All other boats in the
harbor pulled out and proceeded to
fight the fire. No one was injured or
killed on the landings and the river
men say all escaped from the wharf
boats and the two steamers. If the
roustabouts were asleep they may be
lost.
All are accounted for at the river
front fire. No lives were lost. Fireman
Bennett was overcome by the heat and
is unconscious at the hospital.
