Colorado The vote stood: Reed, 1919;
Bailey. ia; Bell, 81; Newlands, /.
The Presidents message deals ex-
clrsivel! with the financial condition
OF t,tle Treasury an and urges the
prompt. passage, 9tta, law. to raise the
duties on imported articles in order
to raise sufficient revenues to meet
the current expenses Of the govern
ment. . ...-
The concluding portion q, Of, the
message is as follows:
It may be urged that even If the,
revenues Of the government had been
sufficient to meet all it's ordinary ,ex-
penses during the past. three years.
the gold reserve. would still have
been insufficient to meet, the demands
upon 1t and that the bonds would
necessarily have been issued for it's
repletion. Be this as it may, it is
clearly manifest. without denying or
affirming, the correctness. of such con-
clusion. that the debt would have
been decreased in at least the amount
OF the deficiency and the business
confidence UNNECESSARILY strengthen
ed throughout the country. Congress
should prom pity correct the existing
condition. Ample revenues must be
supplied not only for ordinary ex-
penses OF the government, but for the
pEoppt payment Of liberal pensions
and liquidation Of the principal and
interest Of the public debt, In rails
ing revenues, the duties should be 80
levied upon foreign products as pre-
serve the home Aarket as far ia
possible to our producers to advance
and increase the manufactures. to
relieve and encourage agriculture; to
hSAoLoO Jul lOIOISu uuu uOm6SGlc
commerce; to aid and develop mining
and building; and to render labor ILL
every field of useful occupation
liberal wages and adequate rewards
to which skill and industry arc
Justly entitled. The necessity Of the
passage OF tariff law which shall
provide ample revenue need not be
further urged.
"The imperative demand Of the
hour is the prompt enactment of
such measure, and to this object l
earnestly recommend Congress shall
make every endeavor. Before other
business is- transacted let us first
provide sufficient revenue to faith
fully administer the government with.
out contracting further debt or the
continued disturbance of our
finances.

SAN MATEO, July 17.-Colonel c. F..
Crocker, First President of the

Colonel Crocker was stricken with
apopleXy and paralysis While sitting at
the dinner table at his residence at the
Uplands, and while his condition was
serious the attending physicians up to
within the past few days had hopes that
the patient would finally recover. It
was known at the outset that Colonel
Crocker was suffering from Bright's
disease of the kidneys in an advanced
form. The disease which has been sap

INHERITANCE TAX.
Supreme Court Denies a Rehearinp
in the Wilxnerding Case.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 1.-THE Su-
.preme Court this afternoon denied the
motion for a rehearing in the matter of
the collateral inheritance tax question
which was raised in connection with
the estate of the late J. c. Wilmerding.
AS may be remembered, the decision
previously given affirmed the constitu-
tionality of the law levying a tax of ;
per cent. on legacies left to collateral
heirs, but the matter was deemed of
such great Importance that a rehearing
was earnestly sought for. The attor-
neys for the heirs of the Stanford es-
tate joined in the petition for such re-
hearing of the question at issue, which
involved many thousands Of dollars one
way or the other in the distribution of
the vast property. To-day's action OF
the Supreme Court would seem to def
nitely settle that the collateral tax
must be paid.

SOCIALISTS IN PRISON.
Serving Terms for the Offense of
Les Maieste

BERLIN, July 11.-Eignt out Of the
i forty-eight Socialists, in the Reichstag,
including Herr Liebknecht and Herr
Iuetgomau and Herr Stadthagen, are
serving term of imprisonment for the
offense of les majestic. For a minor of
fense a number of Russian Polish stu
dents of the Technical High School at
Charlotteonberg We're arrested yester-
day and taken to the Russian frontier,
where they were handed over to the
Russian police. Among them were the
noted nihilist Wilzcherwin, who will be
Immediately sent to Siberia. There have
been several other arrests upon suspi-
clon.
AS a result of the espionage of the ar
tillery barracks at Ulmt, the son of a
prominent citizen named Wagner and
a Frenchman named EStoag are in Gus
tody. Upon the latter were found spe-
cial maps and charts with plans of forti-
fications, a number of letters written in
cipher.
Emperor William is greatly displeased
with the decision of the court of arbitra-
ton, which depriveS his brother-in law,
Prince Adolph of Schaumburg-L -Lippe,
of the right to succession to the regency
in Lippe-Dolmold. The regency is
worth 240,00 marks year. Prince
Adolph, who is comparatively poor, has
gone back to Bonne to resume his mill
tary duties. The Emperor's telegram to
the Prince, after the decision by the
King of Saxony in favor of Count Lippe
Biestenfeld, has caused a great sensa-
ton among the German particularists
1t contained the following sentence:
'sDemold could not have a better and
Worthier master and mistress than you.
Special offense has been given by this
reference to the Princess, whose esca-
pades form a familiar topic of gossip
Fut the tenor of the whole telegrams.
and the fact that the Emperor addressed
his brother-in-faw with the Familiarity
of private correspondence, shows that
he did not intend his disuatch for publi-
cation.

The record-union., 1897-07-18

The career of the father in the field
of enterprise upon which he achieved
such eminence began when Charles
Frederick Crocker was but 6 years of
age. 1t is. therefore, dealing in fact,
rather than metaphor. to say that his
earliest recolleetions were associated
with the construction and operation of
railroads. At the usual school age he
entered the public schools of the city of
Sacramento, which he attended until
the age of 16 In 1870 he entered the
University Mound College and Cali
fornia Military Academy, where he re-
manned until April, 1873. As conducive
to his general health, which during his
early manhood was not at any time
robust, as we'll as in view OF its educa-
tional advantages, the summer OF 1873
was occupied in a tour of the British
Isles, Switzerland, Germany and the
Netherlands. Returning to the United
States in the fall of the same year ne
entered the Polytechnic Institute or
Brooklyn, N. Y. Here he pursued his
studies with diligence, but failing
health, which threatened the loss of
eyesight, forced him to retire from the
school short Of a graduation IN June,
1875. and at the age of Il he returned
to this State. His falling eyesght ad-
monished him that his student life was
at an end and the first question which
arose was the choice of a future career.
He chose the occupation of his father
and determined to identify himself with
the great transportation interests of
the country.
At this time his father was one of the
remaining four of the eminent railroad
constructors of this coast. 1t is an ad-
ditional evidence of the sound common
sense Of both father and son that the
boy of q was not given the high
sounding official title, which might
easily have been commanded, nor
placed as a hereditary figurehead in
charge of some important department.
His first employment connected with
the railroad system of California was
as clerk in the Division Superintend-
ent's office at Oakland wharf. The po-
The record-union., 1897-07-18

sition was in no sense a sinecure. He
was required to perform the same serV-
ice and received the same pay as like
positions elsewhere. The details of OPP
Grating a line of railroad as it can be
seen only from the standpoint of the
Division superintendent became famil-
lar to him. 1t was an apprenticeship
in the most practical field of railroad
operation. Having served faithfully in
| this position a second brief tour of
England and Continental Europe was
accorded as a well-deserved vacation.
Returning, his first promotion was to
! the position of clerk in the general
| freight office at the general offices of
| the company in San Francisco, a posi-
ton which afforded a clear view of the
whole field of railroad operation in it's
commercial and economic aspect. In
/ this position he discharged the full
round of duties. AS the prospective
representative Of his fathers interests
! in the railway system of the Pacific
Coast he was admitted to the directory
and elected Third President of
| the Southern Pacific Company in 1885,
the office having been created for him
! by the unanimous vote of the directors.
| Prior to this, however, his health ap-
/ pearing to demand relaxation and rec
reation, he made a trip to Japan and
| China, returning much improved.
! On September T. 1880 at he age of
26, he was married to Miss Easton, the
| estimable daughter of A NJ Easton
and Mrs. AdeliA NJ. Easton. the latter
the sister of d. o. Mills. Mrs Crocker
( Iad Of I;ct
and strongly individualized character.
| To this happy union three children
were born. His marital happiness was,
however, of short duration, and he en-
countered the first great and heartfelt
! bereavement of his life in the death of
/ his beloved wife, which occurred Feb
ruary %, 1887.
AS the son acquired knowledge and
competency in the general admin:stra-
tion of the companys affairs the father
began to withdraw his attention meas
urably from ITS more arduous duties
and allow himself more of that we'll
merited leisure and retirement which
his falling health so imperatively de-
manded. In 1888 young Crocker was
promoted to the position of Second
Vice-President The position of Third
Vice President, which had been created
! for him would perhaps have lapsed
! into a sinecure but for the continued
absence of the superior officers of the
property. Leland Stanford, the Pres
ident of the company, was frequently
abroad in Europe. c. P. Huntington,
/ the First Vice-President and financial
head, was located in New York The
constant expansion of the railway sys-
] tenn gave to its financial affairs pri-
macy of importance which required the
presence in the general financial office
/ in New York of Charles Crocker, and
thus Charles Frederick Crocker, re-
naming at home the sole representa-
tive of the real ownership of the prop
erty, became the resident managing
! director.

management of the affairs of great
