If an Extension of Time Is Now
Denied the Lines Will Pay
Their Debts.
STUBS EVADEp The TRUTH
Rates in California Not Arbitrarily
Lowered Twenty-Five Per Cent
by the Commission.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March A.-Rep-
resentative Barham of California, to-day
appeared before the House Committee on
Pacific Railroads in opposition TO the vari-
Gus funding and foreclosure plans. He
Claimed that if the Pacific railroads were
given to understand that the time in which
their debts were to be paid would not be
extended they would find the money to
pay up.
He presented the resolutions of the Leg
islature of California adopted February 1,
opposing any extension of the paym ent
of the debts, and the REILLY" funding
bill, or any bill of like import. The -eso-
lutions request the California Congress
sional delegation to use all honest means to
defeat any such proposition, and demand
the immediate collection on maturity of
the debts of the roads.
Barham criticized certain statements
made before the committee by Mr.. Stubs,
vice-president of the Central Pacific Com
pany. He read from Ms. Stubs state
ment the charge that the Democratic
members of the California Railway Com
mission had been elected to Office upon
the distinct pledge that they would de-
ere ase freight and passenger rates on the
California roads 25 per cent, and that the
commission had arbitrarily made such a
reduction and put it through without any
hearing or opportunity for appeal. In
contradiction of those charges Mr.. Bar
ham read a letter iustreceived from Chair
man La Rue of that commission, in which
he said that the only reduction made by
the commission was s per cent on grain
alone, and that instead OF being an arbi-
trary reduction, 'put through without a
hearing" as charged by Mr.. Stubbs, the
reduction was only made after hearing

MYSTERY or A W0MAKS DEATH
Arrest of a Prominent Business Man of
Philadelphia in Connection With

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, March 24.-The
finding of the dead body of young and
pretty woman in Girard avenue last night
caused decided sensation in the neigh
borhood, a sensation tnat became more
general as the police investigated the
affair.
The body was soon identified as that
of Annie McGrath, and the identified
ton was quickly followed by the ar
rest of Samuel P. Langdon, president of
the Union Colleries Company, man
widely known in business and social cir
cles in this city. Langdon is man about
55 years of age.
The authorities have refused to make
public the charge against Langdon, nor
will they tell what is known or suspected
as to the cause of the young woman s
death. 1t has leaked out, however, that
Langdon and the girl have been living
together for the past month
The police have also taken into custody
Bertha Stewart, a colored servant. 1t is
not thought that she was concerned in the
crime. She is probably held as witness.

IT WILL NOT COME HERE
San Francisco Shut Out of the
w. C. T. U. Convention
by the Railroad.
Favorable Rates Could Not Be Secured
and a More Central Site Is
Selected.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, March 24.-At meet
ing to-day of the general officers of the w.
c. t. U. called by Miss Willard, who has
just returned from trip to the South, it
was decided not to hold the next annual
convention in San Francisco, although
that City had been previously chosen.
Among the reasons for the change is the
request of the National Suffrage Associa-
tion that in view of its own active opera
tions on the Pacific Coast this year the
white ribbon convention should be post
poned one year. 1t was also believed that
the convention should be held near
Kansas, as crisis in the temperance ques-
ton was impending in that State.
The railroads have also refused to make
the concessions that were expected. The
convention will probably be held in st.
Louis next October or November.
A telegram was sent to-day from
National headquarters to Ballington Booth
protesting against the new army wearing
a white ribbon as badge on the ground
that it belonged to the w. c. T. q.

ROBBED AN AGED M|SER.
Big Haul Made by Two Most
Daring Bandits in
Chicago.
They Secured Many Thousands in
Cash, Bonds and Gilt-Edge
Securities.

CHICAGO, ILL, March 24.-Christopher
Schrage, an old miser who has been saving
up his money in an old shanty at I'll
South Jefferson street for years, was
| robbed of all his hoardings this evening
by two robbers, who bound and gagged
him while they went through his posses
sions. Although he possessed about
100000 his anxiety to rent room, thus
bringing in few more shekels. caused
him TO forget to lock his safe and the saw
ings of a lifetime were gone in minute.
Schrage owns the frame building in which
he lives and rents rooms to man named
Martinson, whose wife Hannah has been
accustomed to prepare his meals. In the
rear of the building is cottage, which has
long been lnoccupied.
This evening two men called on Schrage
and found him typical Gaspard, counting
his gold. as was his nightly custom, in
front of his safe. They said they under
stood he had rooms to rent. Schrage re-
piled that he had, and taking a lamp pro-
ceeded to show them to the cottage. In
his haste he neglected to lock his safe. Tie
men looked at the cottage and after they
came out said they were satisfied, but be-
they suddenly seized the old man, threw
him down, bound and gagged him and left
him lying on the ground. They then hur-
ried to the safe and took all they could find.
As they were engaged in their search
they were surprised by Mrs. Martinson,
who called Schrage, asking him
ii he was ready for his dinner. One of the
robbers answered. telling her that he was
not Schrage, and ordering her to go about
her business. Hannah, however, insisted
on intruding, and the robbers fearing cap
ture, made haste to escape. Before doing
so they had succeeded in pocketing about
500 in gold, several hundred dollars in
paper, $1,000 in Cook County bonds, 5000
in Government bonds, several valuable
mortgages and few other good securities.
Hannah followed the robbers into the
street and succeeded in creating consider
able excitement, but the men escaped.
Schrage. who is nearly so years of age. is
wild with rage and disappointment, and it
is feared he will lose his mind.

THIS TRICK rs VERY KEW
Neat Confidence Game BY Which Two
Sharpers Swindie Clark Street
Horrbnnf

CHICAGO, ILL, March PA new con.
fdence trick was played to-day by two men
on Leopold Orenstein a Clark street mer-
chant, the loss being watches and jewelry
valued at s267. A carriage stopped at the
merchant place and two men allghted,
one fne-looking elderly person with a
wild, wandering gaze and an ostentatious
display of fine iewelry and costly clothing.
While the elderly swindler was examining
the jewelry the other whispered to Mr..
Orenstein that his master was confirmed
kleptomaniac and payment on the spot
would be made for any goods which the
unfortunate might take, the merchant be-
ing reassured by show of bills in the sup
posed servants hands. The goods were
taken, he owner counted the value and
was given roll of bills. After the swind-
lers left the store, the roll was found to be
counterfeit, except for $40 bill.

of Newcomb, Macklin & Co., at 307 and 309
Wabash avenue. shortly before 8 o'clock
this evening, created a panic among the
fifty persons at work in the building, and

moments attracted thousands of persons to
the scene. The streets were filled with
carriages of opera-goers and the arrival of

ment and confusion. Many ladies left
their carriages and had their costumes

Sub Committees to Draft a Bill to "Set-

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 24.-The
Senate Pacific Roads Committee to-day
appointed subcommittee, consisting of
Frye, Brice and Wolcott, to meet with the
House subcommittee and draft bill to
adjust the debts of the Pacific roads. If
there has been any doubt that Hunting
toms plan of settlement" would be
adopted that doubt is expelled now. Frye
is notoriously a railroad man. He is
known in Washington as Huntington's S

Nothing may be said of Brice, as it is
we'll known that he owns stock in the

from the start that Hubbard 8 plan would
fail and that the Smith-Frye bill would be

whether the bill will pass at this session,
if it passes at all. The bills opponents
are beginning to believe there is a good
chance to defeat it.

occupying nine days. Mr.. La Rue also
certified that he never made pledge of
any sort as to what he would do if elected
Railroad Commissioner.
Barham said that the people of Califor-
mia were almost UNANIMOUSLY opposed to
any sort of refundin bill for the Pacific
roads and explained why Congress should
not consider such a proposition.
Barham closed with an argument to
prove that the United States was not
barred by the statute of Limitation from
collecting its debts against the roads, as
had been claimed, and read from the recent
Stanford decision to show that this point
was not considered In that case, but was
explicitly reserved in the decision. No
statute ever runs against the Government
he said, and if the companies owed the
Government $97, 600 900 and had never paid
in but 50, 100000 they could clearly be COM
PEELED to pay the remaining sos, 900 900.
The books were full of cases where stock
holders had not paid in their full capital
stock, and the corporation having become
lnsolvent they were sued and made to pay
up in full.
He contended that case involving so
many and such intricate legal points
should not be decided by Congress, or a
committee-o of Congress, but that the courts
should be permitted to decide upon and
settle the whole case.
