EN- GINEER KINDNESS.
Caused His Suspension for Al
lowing Ladies to Ride
on the Engine.
Mrs, Herman 0elrichs Promptly Wired
the Suspended Engineer to
Come to San Francisco.

Coming across the continent recently
Mrs. Herman Olerichs and Miss Virginia
Fair had the pleas ure of riding in the ca b
OF the engine from Promontory to Ter
race on the Central Pacific. The scenery
between these two stations is inspiring
and the ladies enjoyed the diversion from
Pullman palace car travel. The engineer
who was so courteous and kind to the
ladies knew Senator Fair in Nevada and
often met his daughters when they were
children.
The rules of the com pany are against the
extension of such privileges as riding on
the englne to passengers unless special
permit is produced, and so the engineer
was suspended for forty days for dis
obedience of orders.
On learning of the suspension Of Mr.
SholI Mrs. OelrIchs wired him to come to
San Francisco immedia tely. The Nevada
State Register says 1t is believed that Mr..
ShoIl will find more lucrative position
than be held with the Central Pacific
Company. The suspended engineer ar
rived in this city last Thursday.
People who know Herman Oerichs
we'll and understand how generous his
sentiments are, and how readily he ap-
preciates kindness and courtesy extended
TO himself and family, have no doubt that
the engineer will be protected from pecu-
mary or other loss by reason OF this Incl
dent of overland travel.

No Longer a Director in the
Central Pacific Railroad
Company.
His Place Filled by W. M,
Thompson, for Many Years
the Secretary.
Director Gates of New York Also
Gives Way to John g, Kirkpatrick
of This City

Coils P Huntington is no longer a
director of the Cantral Pacific Railroad.
On August 10 last his resignation was &C
cepted at a special meeting of the stock
holders, and w. NJ. Thomp son, for many
years secretary of the compan y, was
elected in his place.
At the same time Director Gates of New
York rendered his resignation and John c.
kirkpatrick was chosen to I'LL the vacancy.
Mr.. Kirkpa trick has been manager of the
Palace Hotel since 1885, and is well known
in business circles in this city.
The primary cause OF this change in
the Central Pacific directorate was
the dissatisfaction of the Englis h
stockholders, and some of the Ameri-
cans as well. over the fact that so many
of the directors are non-residents of San
Francisco. the principal place of business
of the road.
1t has been persis,ently reported for
several years that Mr.. Huntington had
been gradually disposing of his Central Pa
cifc holdings until he was practically
if not entirely relieved OF them. Rum ors
of the dissatisfaction OF English share
holders with the management OF the roa d
have drifted across the water for some
time and it 8 probable that the N agnate,
believing that the time was proDltuous
10 slep aside laid down the burden and
called upon Secretary Thompson to as
sumo the heavier respo nsi biljty.
In the case of Mr.. Gates it was different.
4 resident of New York, he TOOK little or
no part in the active management OF the
road, and the English holders clamored
for some San Franciscan to take his place.
John c. kirkpatrick, his successor, has
been director in the Sharon Es-
tate Company for years, many stock
holders OF which are Englishmen. His
management OF the Palace Hotel and
other properties belonging 10 the estate
gained for him the favorable considera-
ton of English capitalists, and when he
was suggested as Cafes successor
by one of the foreign holders no opposi-

he Charges Zammith With Criminally

Boasting About It.

Joseph Zammith, an extraman on truck
8, 1921 Market street, was shot down out
side the truckhouse last night by Harry n.
Deppe, saloon keeper at Shotwell and
Fifteenth streets.
Zammith was standing on the sidewalk
about o'clock talking with Morris Hig-
gins, an extra driver, when Deppe walked
up behind them, and, without saying a
word, pulled revolver out OF his pocket
and fired a shot at Zammith. With a
yell of pain he fell TO the ground.
Before Deppe could fire another shot
Policema an Luke Livingston. who happened
to be passing on Castro-street car,
jumped off the car and grabbed him,
throwing him to the ground. Livingston
and Higgins wrenched the revolver from
him.
Ibid l kill him ?' asked Deppe, as he
lay painting on the ground.
II don't think you have" replied Liv-
ingston.
''Let me have another shot at MN, .
pleaded Deppe, las l want to Kill HIM.
He has ruined my wife and family and
has been blowing about it for five or six
months. If l get cut of this trouble l
will kill him yet"
Zammith was taken TO the Receiving Hos
pital. where DR.. Fitzgibbon found that the
bullet had entered the left side, penetrated
the left upper portion of the abdomen
and intestines. The bullet was extracted
from his back. The wound is dangerous
and may prove fatal.
Zlmmith gave an emphatic denial to
Deppe's charge OF having ruined his wife.
He was friend of Deppe and his family,
Dut that was all.
Depre was taken to the City Prison by
Lieutenant Hanna and Policemen McNa-
mara and Livingston and charge of as
sauIt to murder was registered against
him.
He made no secret of his intention to
kill Zammith, and his only regret was
that be was not permitted TO fire the five
bullets from the revolver into his BODY.
"Zammith was a friend of mine" he
saio, "and used 10 visit my house, at 1910

on Wagon Roads.
WASHINGTON, Sept. l5,-In &C.
cordance with the desire of the secre-
tary of agriculture, to promote more ex-
tended experiments In the use of steel
trackways on wagon roads, the office
OF road inquiry has made arrangements
with the Cambria iron works, Johns
town, Pa. for rolling special rails for
this purpose, these arrangements to go
Into effect as soon as definite orders
from responsible parties amounting to
one mile OF track are received.
The director OF road inquiry and the
engineers OF the company after much
discussion have agreed upon plan OF
track which promises to meet all re-
qulrements. 1t uses no wood In c0n-
structlon and no cross ties for support,
but consists of simple inverted
trough or channel OF steel for each
wheel, with slightly raised head on
the inside to guide the wheels, each
channel resting In bed Of gravel and
the two tied together occasionally TO
prevent spreading.
Special devices for remounting are
provided at each Joint. The bearing or
tread for wheels is eight inches wide,
the thickness about seven-sixteenths Of
an inch, The weight OF the structure Is
about one hundred tons to the mile of
single track and 1t will be furnished in
small sections at the rate OF $500 per
milo.

A radical change has been made in
the manufacture of glass jars and bot
Ties by the introduction of machine
which the glass manufacturers OF the
country soy will revolutlonize this
branch OF the glass business and make
the United States the source OF che

machines for the Hazel Company, as
well as for the Beatty Brady Company
