An Inference That Attorney Foote
Failed to Take Proper
Action.
A LATE REPORT TO HARMON.
Statement Made by Frank M. Stone
That Huntington Did Not Give
Him His Ogden Pass. =


The result of United States District At
torney Henry S. Foote's investigation of
the allegations Attorney: George w.
Monteith that: the management of the
Southern Pacific violated the. interstate
commerce law in giving Frank NJ. Stone a
pass to Ogden year ago February is that
the pass was issued by A. n. Towne and
that Mr.. Towne is dead. -: .-%.:
When Mr.. Monteith,s letter wasTece;yed
by United States A Attorney General Judson
Harmon that official instructed Mr.. Foote
forthwith to look into the matter. Mr.
Foote's reply has: been mailed to Wash
lngton and he says that letter has been
sent also by Mr.. Stone to Mr.. Harmon, ~
The burden of the charge made by Mr..
Monteith was that Frank NJ. Stone had
ridden out of this State and into Nevada
on pass issued by President Coils P:
Huntington. Mr.. Monteith stated in sup
port OF this that on February 3, 1894, Mr..
Stone left Oakland on train at 6 80 P. NJ.
over the Southern Pacific line, bound for
Ogden; that he passed through Sacramento
late that evening and arrived at Truckee
the next morning. AT Truckee there was
change of conductors, and thence Mr.
Stone was carried Oh to Carlin, New, and
ultimately to Ogden on his pass. :. ~
|: All this, with the exception of the pass
having been issued by Mr.. Huntington,
Mr.. Foote has found to be substantiated,
but he has learned from the Southern Pa,
cltic Railway Company's Office, and from
Mr.. Stone himself, according to an ex-
planatlon given by him yesterday, that.
Mr.. Towne issued the pass, and not Mr.
Huntington.

The committee of FIVE provided for will
be selected later on. While discussing the
matter Mr.. Reynolds made the following
statement of his position last night:
am determined in my purpose to preserve
and extend, as far as l can, the ability, power
and right to rule OF the common people. All
my work in the direction OF reform has been
and will be devoted to that end. No man is
good citizen of republic who in any way
stiles the voice of the people or attempts to
do so.
All our institutions are founded upon the
principle that the wishes of the majority OF the
people shall be the law of the land. But such
is not the condition. Our lawmakers and Of
fcals have been corrupted by lot OF un-
scrupulous men, and the result is that oppress-
i've m onopolies like the Southern Pacific have
been created by bribery, perjury and robbery.
And now when the common people tSS see ms ms
learned that no release can be nao py turning
one set OF rascals out and placing another set
in who will be subjected TO- 10 me no0 same "a,
lions; now that more than 10000 voters nave
definitely and decidedly asked that me GoV-
ernment take the Central Pacihc ana other
railroads which are indebted 10 tne people,; Il.
is in my opinion a fragrant breach OF trust lot
any committee to advocate dlnerenl poucy
or to demand anything less than what the
people have asked for.
1t is something more, it is q dangerous tnlng
The common people are the only real ana true
and lawful rulers of this Nation. When COM
mittee OF our own private citizens refuses or
neglects TO properly present the case 10 our
representatives rs the people have demanded
to be done they are not dong what is right, ana
1t Will inevitably lead to trouble.
am hopeful that the committee of fifty viii
be inclined to look at the matter in public
spirited light but, if they do not, and if from an
error of judgment or ignorance of the advant-
tage of public ownership or from an ,exagger-
ated idea of the dangers of attempting TO do too
much they neglect to fulfill the duty imposed
upon them, shall say they have not proper
regard for the will of the common people.
maintain they have no right to present the
case to Congress in a different light than the
resolutions which were passed prescribed.
am determined that the matter shall be car
ried out trjctly as the people have demanded
that is, that a bill shall be formulated provid-
ing for the Government ownership and opera.
tion of these railroads. Then if Congressmen
dare to vote contrary TO their constituents,
wishes upon them let the responsibility rest.
Mr.. Reynolds added that now the Union
for Practical Progress had taken a stand in
opposition to the seemingly compromising
attitude of the committee of fifty it would
keep insisting that the wishes of the mass
meeting be carried out to the very letter.

the corner where Green and Stockton
streets and Montgomery avenue converge,
has been arrested on the extraordinary
charge of stealing gas. -:
:: Heappeared in Judge Campbell's court
yesterday morning and was represented
by Attorneys Kenny and Rose. The gas
company, which is the complaining wit
ness was represented bythe firm OF Gar
Der, Boalt & Bishop. -.
When the case was called the: de-
fendant's attorneys pleaded not guilty and
demanded a Jury The Judge set the case
for trial on January %.
Keeling's attorneys explained the nature
of the charge against him. When he first
took possession, Of the saloon he refused to
put up the usual dep0sit.of S. for meter,
but as he could not get supply of gas
without ii he finally made the deposit.
The bill for the first two weeks con-
sumption OF gas amounted to the reasona-
bic figure of So so, whicn he willingly paid.
For the next two weeks the bill had almost
doubled itself, being 81 so. This sudden
and alarming increase was a surprise to
Keeling, as he had been burning the same
number of lights and for about the same
length of time. He paid the bill, but could
get no satisfaction as to its size.
Keeling says he made up his mind to be
economical in the use of gas, so he stopped
using it on the second floor of the place
and only used it on the first floor. Sus-
pecting that some one might have been
tampering with the meter, he kept the
door giving access to it locked, and carried
the key in his pocket. AT the usual time
an EN- ploye of the company called to ex-
anime the meter. Keeling was downtown
with the kew of the door in his pocket, so
the man had to go away without inspect
ing the meter.
Keeling astonishment can be imagined
when he received Il bill for the two weeks
amounting to- $14 %. Notwithstanding all
his precautions III the way of economy and
Keeping the meter securely locked UP.
Besides he claims that the companx's en-
ploye had not examined the meter at all.
When the collector called Keeling was
mad, and positively refused to pay the bill.
The company shut off his supply Of gas,
but he turned it on again, and for this he
has been arrested and will be tried by
twelve OF his peers

of spectators from the City assembled: on

AT 10 O'Clock the troops were formed for

four troops OF the Fourth Cavalry. COM
manded by Colonel Samuel B. NJ. Y oung.
The reviewing position vas indicated by
the group Of distinguished officers to whom
the review was given and the equally dis
t:nguished officers who paid the compli-
ment.
The admiral's flag, broad blue field,
bearing two stars, was placed on a pike
planted near the American regulation flag.
A sergeant guarded 1t, and when the re-
view was finished, 1t was folded up for
DUTY again on the Philadelphia. 1t is a
saying that the admiral's flag goes with
the admiral, and wherever it floats, the ad-
miral is supposed to be. This must be so,
for the sergeant placed it IN the admiral S
carriage yesterday.
The rank of admiral in. the navy corre-
spends to that of ma jor-general IN the
army, and therefore Admiral Beardslee
yesterday received the compliment of a
salute of thirteen guns.
The review was not all the ceremony
at the Presldio yesterday, although 1t
embraced maneuvers by infantry, cavalry
and artillery. Regular monthly inspection
and muster for pay followed the exercises
on the field, hence the soldiers had all the
duties they wanted to perform in one day.
The weather Yesterday forenoon was
simply delightful. There had not been
a better dav IN the year for field evolu-
tions. The well-groomed and high-spirited
horses were on. tnelr mettle and eylnceu a.
desire to go that could hardly be re-
strained. Major Darlings prancng steed
delighted the spectators. Passing the
reviewing stand, the horse fancied that he
should show the admiral a trick in high
stepping and gained more than passing at
tention.
At the conclusion of the review, General
Graham escorted Admiral Beardslee, Cap
tain Cotton commanding the flagship
Philadelphia, Captain Cochrane of the
marines. Lieutenant Stoney and other
officers of the admiraPs staff to carriages
The officers visited the dynamite and NOR
tar batteries and other fortiications of the
post. After the ride General and Mrs.
Graham, entertained the guests at their
post home.
Life as the Presidio is not altogether a
dull routine of reviews, guard mount and
inspection The social diversions are
guile enchanting. Last evening a pro-
gressive euchre party was given at the
Sow Preside home of Major and Mrs.
Darling. The attendance was large and
embraced many officers in uniform. The
decorations in red, the color of the artil-
Ssry, impaired warmth and good cheer to
bhe assembly.
Yesterday Captain Benjamin K. Rob-
eyts, Battery A Fifth Artillery, was waited
