IRA MOSS CHARGED
WITH CONTEMPLATING
GAVE A BOGUS FIFTY-DoLLAR
BILL.
A Soldier Tried to Pass It for Him in
Nolan's Shoestore on Market
Street and Was Caught
and Confessed.

A private soldier of the Forty sixth
Regiment, United States Volunteers,
named Thomas Williams, bought pair
of shoes in w. II. Nolan's shoe store yes
terday afternoon and rendered in pay
ment $50 bill. Something in the appear
ance of the bill attracted the suspicion
of the cashier of the establishment, and
he sent it to Cashier Burns of the United
States sub-treasury, who at once pro-
nounced 1t a counterfeit. Williams was
detained and Secret Service Agent Hazen
was sent for and arrested the soldier. The
prisoner said that the bill had been given
to him by man named Ira Moss and
that Moss had previously approached two
other soldiers and tried to get them to
pass the counterfeit money
Hazen took the soldier with him, and
they succeeded in finding Moss. The pris-
oner was taken to the California street
station and afterward transferred to the
City Prison and placed In the tanks sub
ject to the order of the Federal authori-
ties.
Moss is about SO years old and has been
engaged recently in selling custom-made
clothing and boots, shoes and hats to
mustered-out soldiers. He admitted that
he had been arrested once before in this
city for grand larceny, but said that his
arrest was the work of spite on the part
of personal enemies

terday that he would prosecute Freeman

they say upon the representation of Lane
that he was a special agent and upon

the words Chronicle reporter"

THE SIBERIAN RAILROAD.

q DISPATCH from Berlin yesterday states that
! ! the PrusSlan Minister OF Finance has had
long conference with the Emperor concerning
the efforts Of Russia to raise another loan in Ger
many. 1t was added that the desire of the Russians
for a loan is due to the discovery that the ST.
berian railway will far more than was estimated
and that financial crash in Russia is feared by the
fnanciers of Europe.
The statements OF the dispatch are in line with re-
ports that have been in circulation for some time but
there is to believe the situation in Russia is
not so bad they represent it. That the Siberian
railway will cost much more than the sum originally
estimated is well known but our Consuls in Rus
STA have reported that the additional cost will be due
to Improvements and extensions made upon the plans
adopted for the road when it was first projected
Originally the road was designed to be hardly more
than military railway. 1t was not expected that any
considerable traffic would be carried on over it. and
accordingly the roadbed was not strongly built light
rails put down and comparatively slight bridges
were constructed With the extension of the line
however there has come rapid increase of the COM
mercal demands upon it. and it has been found neces
sary to go nearly the whole line and strengthen
it in every way II these reports be true the increase
in the cost OF the road does not imply loss to the
Government, but a gain. 1t is true the immediate
expenditure OF money will be larger than was ex-
pected but eventually the enterprise will be more
profitable than it would have been otherwise
II the fears of financial crash in Russia have no
other foundation than the reported increase in the
cost OF the Siberian road they likely to be
realized 1t is to be borne in mind that predictions OF
coming crash are heard at this time in every coun-
try 1t has been repeatedly said that the vast specu-
lative boom in trust companies in New York will lead
to crash in the United States Similar predictions
based similar grounds have been heard in London
in Paris and in Berlin, ior in all those great cen
tiers OF commercial and financial activity there has
been extensive speculation in securities OF one kind or
another. All experience shows that every era OF
prosperity has led to Misrepresentation and that in
turn has brought about crash of some kind To
that extent therefore the predictions OF coming dis
aser reasonable, but there is no apparent cause,
why the crash should be feared in Russia any mos.
than elsewhere.
AS matter OF fact there is at this time st1in
gency in financial circles everywhere 1t is felt in
Europe and i'll New York In no place however, is
it of a nature to alarm any but the pessimsts who
always the gloomy side OF things and the bear
spectators whose interests incline them to exac-
gerate everything which would have tendency to
cause fall in the prices of stocks Russia NAV have
some difficulty in placing large loan Just at this
time, but it is not likely that work will be stopped on
the Siberian railroad or that the empire will be bank
rupt

lines Of the United States The scope of the plan
is said to be not of traffic alliance merely but
the union OF the lines under one ownership in de-
termined effort to uphold traffic rates independent of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
In these days OF great syndcates it is not improb
able that some men more enterprising than the rest
have devised the ~vast combination outlined in the
New York dispatch Railway combinations have
been common thing in American history for many
years past All the great transcontnenta lines have
been built up by such consultations of roads which
were once under independent management. The
movement, therefore, when started will be but an
outgrowth OF the past and step in the natural order
OF Development 1t is not going to be easily achieved
however, and, even if now under way long time will
eapse before it will be accomplished.
The interesting feature of the report is that
the scheme has been devised with the intention OF
unfolding freight rates independent of the Interstate
Commerce Commission. That means that while
Chicago and St Louis seeking to gain advantage
through the officials OF the Government New York
Will endeavor to obtain advantage for herself by get
ting possession OF the trunk lines and fixing rates
according to her interests. Should the scheme be
carried out the conflict between the Government and
the syndcates would be openly begun and so long
as it continued the lawyer with railway practice
would have bigger BONANZA than ever will be found
in the Klondike
Fortunately there is immediate prospect of any
such conflict. The Interstate Commerce Commission
be relied upon to guard the interest of all por-
tons OF the Union and is likely to be subservent
to. the greed of Chicago and St. Louis The only
section likely to suffer is the Pacific Coast and what
wrong may be done will be due to the lack of
Pacific Coast representative on the commission to
explain the needs of the coast and uphold them
