MEETING HELD LAST NIGHT.
Perhaps some sweet day the ques-
ton of toll rates over the Island
bridges may be settled permanently.
1t is a question of transcendent i'm
portance to the average citizen of that
section, who divides his leisure time
between "cGssing" the bridge compa-
MES and dreaming of the day when
tolls will be forever abolished. Since
the construction of the steel bridge,
the Recording Angel has charged up
more violations of the third COM
mandment against Island citizens than
IN all the previous history of the city.
The degree Of serenity which pervaded
the Garden Spot prior to the opening
of the new bridge has neveD existed
since. Citizens profited by the rate
war between the rival companies, and
their troubles date from their practical
consolidation.
The scale of toll charges has been
altered several times, the operation of
ferryboats being an important factor
in bringing about the changes. 1t is
unnecessary to mention the different
schedules. They are familiar to Is
land citizens, and others are not di-
rectly concerned. The last schedule
took effect May I'd of this year. 1t
was followed by the inevitable commo-
ton on the Island. The bridge compa-
MES insisted that II was a concession,
a view which it was difficult to force
upon persons who regard with suspi-
cion all tampering with the toll rates
on the part of the bridge companies.
Within the past few days it has
been authoritatively stated that a fer
ryboat is to run between Ohio street
and the wharf. 1t is understood that
the bridge companies have determined
to meet the rates which will be charged
by the ferry line.
A step in this direction was taken
ic1'c hiShC, at q JcluI ltttlIS vi ulT6C-
tors of the two companies, held in the
office of the suspension bridge. The
changes made in the toll schedule are
published in an advertisement in an
other column. They take effect imme-
dlately.
One of the most important changes
made at last nights meeting, was in
the rate for single horse vehicles, which
was cut in half. 1t is now five cents
one way over one bridge, or ten cents
over two bridges or over one bridge and
return. Contract tickets will be sold
al the rate of four dollars for one hun
dred tickets. This is a reduction CT
$3.50 The quarterly foot books
which include passes for members of
family, will be continued. A monthly
non-tansferable focs book, contain
ing 125 tickets, good for one month
at 80 cents is a new departure. 1t is
intended for persons not heads of fam
lilies, who do not find it to their ad,
vantage to use the quarterly foot
books.
The next movement in the fight be-
tween bridges and ferries will be
watched with interest.

A BRUTAL MURDER
OAKLAND THE SCENE OF ANOTH-
Err TERRIBLE CRIME
A Discarded Lover Kills a Man and
Shoots Two Women in Frenzy
Of Passion

OAKLAND, Aug. S.-A sensational crime
was perpetrated in this city tonight result
Ing In the death of one man and the wound
ing of two women.
Frank H. Cheesman, a carpenter and
painter residing in South Berkeley, went to
the house of Henry Brooke, near the corner
Of Alice and Seventh streets In Oakland to
call on Miss Eta Paine, who is Brooke's
stepdaughter. Cheesman had been atten-
tive to the young lady, but had been for
hidden to come to the house. In answer
to his knock the door was opened by Mr..
Brooke, who refused him admission. With
out word of warning Cheesman drew a re-
volver and shot point-blank al Brooke. The
wounded man retreated few steps and fell
dead.
The murderer pushed by the body of his
victim and passed through the house to the
kitchen, where he found Miss Paine. She
screamed as he appeared in the doorwa-
and drew her mother to the scene. The
frenzied young man fired first at the young
woman who had discarded his affections,
striking her In the thigh. He then turned
his pistol on Mrs. Brooke, shooting her in
one leg. Both of these wounds proved
to be slight
Cheesman, without looking to see the ef-
feet OF his work, rushed from the house,
and for time 1t was thought he had es-
capped. Two hours later, however, he was
captured and lodged in jail.
The murderer has a criminal record, hav-

A BAD BLACK BURGLAR
ONE WOMAN SCREAMED, THE
- OTHER DIDN'T ,
And the Latter Lost Her Valuables.
One Husband Slept, the Other
Was Away

REDLANDS, Aug. 8.-About o'clock on
Sunday morning Mrs. George Adams. who
resides on Eureka street, was awakened by
a light and as she turned In bed beheld
negro standing a. the head of the stairway
with a lighted match in his hand. Mr.
Adams at once jumped up and made after
the colored burglar, calling to him to get
out, which command was promptly obeyed.
Mr.. Adams arrived home a little later and
discovered that the burglar had been all
through the lower part of the house.
After leaving the Adams residence the
fellow went to DR.. c. s. Lombard's house.
Mrs. Lombard was awakened by the burg
lar and saw him enter her room and search
for valuables, but did not awaken her hus-
band for fear he would shoot at the burg
lar and cause him TO shoot in return. Con-
sequently DR.. Lombard knew nothing of
the affair until the burglar had taken his
departure. Upon investigation 1t was found
that a gold watch and some jewelry had
been taken from Mrs. Lombard's jewelry
case. Nothing was taken from the Adams
residence. One arrest was made this morn
ing, but Mrs. Adams, who had fair view
of the burglar, declared the officers were
mistaken, and the man was released.

Uses Of Nquefiied Air in Warfare

Professor Charles Il. Tripler, the dis
ooverer of process Of making liquetled afr,
says regarding the possibilities of 1t when
used in warfare
Among them are the immediate applica-
ton to the firing of projectiles, the explo-
sion of shells and torpedoes, the driving of
vessels at greater speed with less consump-
ton Of coal, the cooling of the turrets In ac-
ton from torrid heat to a moderate tenn
perature, thus enabling the men to handle
the guns with better efficiency. and adding
to their endurance; the cooling OF the
stokeholes and all parts Of a war ship.
THE benefits Of the foregoing are self
evident. 1t Is now simply a question Of
mechanical application. The power exists
and is ready to be used; 1t only remains to
be determined how /. can best be applied.
1t Is power evidently exceeding any hith-
erto employed. Its limits cannot yet
be defined, from gentle, cooling breeze
TO the power necessary to drive the largest
vessel or hurl the heaviest pro1ectile. This
Is no guesswork or mere speculation. These
ara fundamental facts that 1 have estab-
lished:
"First-Liquid air can be manufactured
easily, cheaply and in large quantities.
Second--A cylinder can be charged with
liquid air under conditions which give an
expansive force (produced In any desired
manner), and, being unaffected by concus-
sion, it is perfectly safe to be handled and
can generate gun cotton or dynamite.
"Fourth--Liquid air can be produced any
where and at any time Any ship could
carry and operate the mechanism for its
production.
"Flf,h-Liquid air IL from twenty to In
times as powerful as steam, and 1t can be
applied as easily as steam to drive the en-
gines of a ship.
'These, repeat, are not guesses, but es-
tablished facts, and inevitable corolaries
from such facts."-From a New York Dis
patch.

TEXAS FEVER DISCOVERED
Meat Inspector Hughes Locates an
Infected Herd

Through the energy of Meat Inspector
Hughes, a herd Of infected cattle has been
discovered and quarantined. The herd had
the dangerous Texas fever and but for the
action of Hughes might have all been sold
to consumers in the city.
For the past three weeks Hughes has
had reason to believe that some of the
meat sold in the city was not up to the
standard. but he was for time unable to
discover any trace of where 1t came from
He finally located the trouble last week on
a portion of the Los Feliz rancho In the
herd of cattle owned by a man named
Martin. Martin some weeks ago brought
herd Of 100 cattle from Santa Barbara and
San Diego to the ranch and set them graz
Ing. These cattle were infected with Texas
fever, and no less than twenty-one died
from tho malady within six weeks. Last
Saturday Hughes, accompanied by County
Veterinarian Morrison. went to the ranch
and after the latter had inspected the herd
he Guaranteed it and all that portion of
the ranch over which the cattle had grazed.

The tobacco part of the requisition seems
reasonable enough, considering the leisure

But isn't that an intolerable deal of soap?
Does the hero of Manila expect to wash
clean all that multitude of captives? Is he

Trouble In Guatemala

WASHINGTON, Aug s-Advices from

tionary movement there has assumed a
phase which, while not jeopardizing the
existing government, promises to involve
foreign residents In some difficulty. The
insurgents under Morales are believed to
have received considerable support from
the Mexieans upon the frontier, who are
said to be chargeable with at least xliling
to observe neutrality. Some of the foreign

ton OF the forty-one companies operating
on the lode, the work was commenced. The
tunnel cost millions Of dollars and was
not completed for many years. Millions
were extracted from this gigantic work.
Later Sutro returned 10 San Francisco
and engaged In other pursuits, but always
interested himself In mining. He bought
real estate all over this city In early days,
and as the city grew the value OF this prop
erty increased tremendously. He was
elected Mayor of this city four years ago
and served one term. He has been i'll for a
long time, nervous troubles incapacttat
ing him for business. While his death has
been expected for some time, it came az a
great shock to the community today, such
a sudden demise not being looked for.
He was the largest individual property
owner in San Francisco, and his wealth is
estimated at about four million dollars.
