WITNESS GONE
Police Fail to Find Man who Ac-
cused Woman of Rob-
hing Him.

Though they have searched earnestly. the
police have failed to find George Doubert,
the Reading, Pa, man, h came to this
city a few days ago and was relieved of
$3.50 while seeing the sights. Doubert &C
cused Edith Bartlett of having taken his
cash and she was arrested. Doubert did
not like the idea Of being locked up at
police headquarters and detained as a
complaining witness and permission was
granted him to remain at the City hotel.
The officers grew suspicious lest friends
of the Bartlett woman should intercede
in her behalf by effecting a settlement
and urging Doubert to leave the city. Cap
tain Haze is of the opinion that Doubert
was paid in full or at least in part by
friends Of the prisoner and then hustled
out Of Omaha, that no complaining wit
ness might appear against the Bartlett
woman. The theory that Doubert was
foully dealt with is secuted by the police.

THROUGH MAGICAL SCENES.
A seventeen-MiIe Drive over the Most
Remarkable Highway I'm the World.

One Of the chief attractions Of the Hotel
Del Monte is the Seventeen-mile Drive, un-
questionably the most remarkable high
way in the world. 1t was constructed by
the Pacific Improvement company for the
pleasure of the hotel guests, and is macad-
amized throughout with the disintegrated
granite which underlies the peninsula and
Of which the perfect walks and drives in
the grounds Of the hotel are constructed.
Neither dust nor mud is ever possible on
this famous drive. In it's course 1t passes
through Monterey and Pacific Grove on the
bay shore, cuts through the forest to the
north end of the peninsula, swings west
wardly to the Pacific ocean, then south
eastwardly to Carmel bay, and thence over
the ridge back to Monterey and the Hotel
Del Monte. Every one of its seventeen
miles brings something new, strange and
wonderful into vlew-natural beauties and
marvels wholly distinct and singularly fas-
cinating. The Hotel Del Monte is provid-
ed with stables completely equipped with
the best In the way of horses, vehicles,
drivers and guides and the charges are
modest.
Beginning at the hotel, the drive passes
the bathing pavilion. traverses the streets
of Monterey, comes within sight OF the
monument erected July Z, 1896, by Mrs.
Jane Stanford, in honor Of Junipero Sierra,
runs through Pacific Grove, and then swings
sharply to the west and bores its winding
way through the forest. Before this is
done, however, we may drive straight on
through Monterey to the old lighthouse on
Point Pinos, and note where the bicycle
road turns out to the left and runs down
to beautiful Lake Majella, near which are
dazzling white %sandhills, from which glass
is made.
The direct and most comfortable route
to these magical scenes is over the Union
Pacific. Literature giving full information

MAY BRING ON BIG STRIKE
RumOr Says Gould Lines Have Refused
Demands of Conductors and Trainmen.
FIFTY-Two RAILROADS ARE CONCERNED
Chairman ward of the Employer
General Committee of the Elk
horn Road Denies thai
Strike Is Probable.

1t was said In railroad circles yesterday
morning that private advices had come
from st. Louis to the effect that the gen.
eral managers Of the four Gould lines in
conference there with general committees
representing the conductors and trainmen
had refused the demands Of the latter for
a raise Of wages and other concessions.
1t was further stated that al assembling
of the executive committee had Immediately
been called by the conductors and train
men for Wednesday, January 2s, and that
IT was expected a general strike over the
entire western division Of the Order OF
Railway Conductors and the Brotherhood Of
Railway ,Trainmen would be ordered at that
time. This would involve ifty-two rail-
roads in the west and middle west and $780,
600 men Of the Two orders.
A. f. Ward, chairman of the general COM
mittee of the conductors and trainmen of
the Fremont, Elkhorn G. Missouri Valley
railroad, which has negotiations under way
with General Manager Bidwell on this same
matter, was questioned regarding the in
formation. He refused to divulge anything
whatever about it, but would only deny the
statement that there would be a strike.
Ward Says No Strike.
Mr.. Ward refused to say that the Gould
lines had refused all the concessions and
he refused to say they had not done so. He
would not say whether any meeting had
been called. But he did say that II any
such result OF the conferences had occurred
It would be settled by a different method
than a strike. He admitted that the re-
suit of the Gould line conferences would
be an index for settlements with all the
other lines involved.
But while an on this topic" said
Chairman Ward. II do wish to say this.
Any statement that General Manager Bid
we'll refused to grant our committee here
a conference is false and was authorized
by no member of this committee. II is an
injustice to US to say that we said that
and II is an injustice to Mr.. Bidwell, who
has always treated US courteously."

WANTS BUILDINGS
Petitions Court 10 Give Hin Title to
Bennett Real Estate,
GIVES HISTORY OF BUILDING COMPANY
Ask TO Have Transfer of stock Set

Baum Declared Null
and Void.

Yesterday in the United States dis
trict court e. E. Hastings. trustee in bank
ruptcy Of the estate Of the w. R. Bennett
company, Instituted proceedings to secure
the title to the Bennett building and stable
and the land upon which each structure
stands.
The petition sets UP the fact Of his APP
pointment as trustee OF the bankrupt mer-
camille company and then alleges that at
the time the W. r. Bennett company de-
cided to change It's place OF business from
Capitol avenue the officers Of the company
doubted the power Of the mercantile COM
pany, under It's charter, to own and manage
real estate and therefore decided to organ
ize the w. r. Bennett Building company,
which was composed principally of officers
and stockholders Of the mercantile COM
pAny; that the mercantile company ad-
vsnoed money to the building company to
an amount approximating 31s7,5OO and this
money, with the $1s2,50O borrowed from
other sources. was expended upon the pur-
chase of sites and the construction Of the
buildings; that at the time Of the bank
ruptcy proceedings he was placed in charge
Of the mercantile company's property,
which invoiced about $4,000 in stock and
500, 900 in fixtures.
Says stock - in Escrow.
About that time. according TO the petit
ton, w. r. Bennett, the president Of both
the mercantile and building companies,
said that the equity of the company IN the
building would be devoted to paying the
debts OF the mercantile company. but later
he caused to be taken from the stock book
of the building company all Of this stock
certificates, which we're then placed in the
hands Of c. w. Rainey to he delivered to
J. e. Baum after Mr.. Baum had performed
certain work; that the transfer Of shares
was without consideration and therefore
void. The petitioner says that he has been
unable to discover any lease from the
building company to the mercantile com
pany and that w. r. Benne has Informed
him that no such lease exists. The petit
tioner states that the w. r. Bennett Build
ing company, which has received no pay
ments from the stockholders on account OF
stock, was but a convenience for the w. II,
Bennett company and that its property is
really the property of the mercantile COM
pany, for which reason he prays that the
w. r. Bennett company, ]. f. Baum and
c. w. Rainey be cited to show cause why
the transfer Of stock and the contract with
Baum shall not be set aside and the title
of the property of the building company
be declared in the trustee for the benefit
of tho creditors. Judge Munger has set
the application for hearing next Friday.

Senator Clark to Furnish Money
for the New Road.

The $50, 900, 900 of fifty-year 4 per
cent gold bonds which the San Pedro,
Los Angeles & Salt Lake railroad
has decided to issue from time to
time, are to be taken by Senator W..
A. Clark of Montana, the president
and main protector of the road, as a
personal investment, according to his
son, G. W. Clark, who has been oc-
cupying his San Mateo home for some
months past.
The senator has already advanced
the company $l8,OOO,OO0. OF this
amount S., 900, 600 was paid for the
Los Angeles Terminal company, $11,-
600, 900 for the lines of the Oregon
Short Line south of Salt Lake, and
So, 900. 900 for surveys and new con-
struction. He will reimburse him
self for this outlay from part of the
bond issue in question.
"My father has good deal of ready
money, said the son, "and he thinks
that there is no better way to invest
it than by advancing cash to the rail
road, as it requires it, and taking
bonds in payment.
"His aim is to complete the road
as soon as possible. There remains a
gap of 300 miles between Calientes,
New, and Daggett station on the
Santa Fe, in California. Contracts
for the building of this piece of road
will be let by the end of this month.
Work will be carried on from both
termini
The Jerome, Ariz., copper mines of
the senator are said to yield him in
excess of $1,000,0O0 month, net
profit. All of this ready cash is be-
ing put in the railroad by him. AS
the story runs Senator Clark re-
Gently refused from an English syn
dicate $50, 900. 600 for his Jerome
properties. He considers th ese e
properties and his new road his best
holdings, and has no desire to give
up control of them. Salt Lake Tri-
