ers, that body will shortly investigate
the causes of the wreck which oc.
Cured on the Illinois Central between
Waterloo and Raymond. few weeks
ago, in which several lives were lost.
The commissioners believe the wreck
was largely due to the curve and
grade on the Illinois Central at
that point, which they think is great
err than the state law allows. The re-
port of the investigation will be Of
considerable interest to all the rail
roads in Iowa. Some time ago the
railway commissioners notified the
various railroads that they would
have to reduce certain grades and
curves within limited time. Some Of
the railroads did so. but others did
not, among which is the Illinois Cen
trial.

DESTROYS
A BIG BUILDING
Blaze Breaks Out on the Up
per Floor of a Three-StOry
Brick Edifice in Bakersfield

BAKERSFIELD, Dec. 23.-The three
story brick building az the corner of
Nineteenth street and Chestnut avenue
owned by George Hopkins of San Fran
cisco was tonight destroyed by a fire
OF unknown origin. As a result from
$4,000 to $4,000 worth of property was
destroyed and John Ramirez, a voIun-
teer fireman, lies in a dying condition
at the County Hospital
The fire started in the third story,
which had just been furnished as
lodging house, and it had gained con-
siderable headway before an alarm was
given. The fremen soon had four
streams playing on the blaze and the
first and second floors We're saved from
destruction. but are badly damaged by
water. 1t is impossible as yet to form
an accurate estimate of the loss on the
building, but the furniture, valued at
several thousand dollars, was COM
pleteIy destroyed. The loss is partly
covered by insurance.
A hose line was being run from the
roof of an adjoining building, and it
was while handling this that Ramirez
met with an accident. In the dark he
stumbled on the skylight and fell
through to the floor beneath. His head
was badly crushed and he was removed
to hospital in an unconscious condi-
ton. A physician who examined him
stated there is not the slightest hope of
his recovery.
At first great fear was expressed that
the fire might spread and endanger the
best business portion of the town, but it
was held in check and prevented from
spreading 70 adjoining buildings.

animation Of titles. The bureau Or
ganized TO administer the affairs OF
these lands will dispose OF them when
possible to the present tenants on long

this land is included within the popu-
lated districts, which makes it a diff
flcult proposition for the administra-
tive bureau.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 23.-President
Roosevelt and Secretaries Root and
Shaw had an extended conference to-
day regarding the issue OF bonds for
the raising of money with which to pay
for the friar lands in the Philippines
Secretary Root is in receipt OF
cablegram from Governor Taft an
nouncing that the contracts for the
purchase of the lands were signed yes
terday The provision for payment,
Governor Taft indicates. is that the
Government shall use due diligence in
the necessary surveys. examination OF
title and sale Of bonds. and shall con-
summate the purchase within a pc
riod not exceeding six months from
the date of contract. Unless new sur
veys shall differ materially from the
VilIegas survey, the exact amount OF
the purchase price of the lands is
s.. .23s, ,7S4 The lands to be purchased
aggregate 391, 900 acres.
Governor Taft's cablegram con-
cludes as follows:
LAS soon as your recommendation is
received will post act reciting making
OF contract and authorize you 70 issue
bonds much the same in form as laws
authorizing issue OF certificates OF in
debtedness."
At the conference to-day it was de-
termined 70 authorize the issue OF
s. 600. 900 of 4 per cent Philippine bonds,
redeemabIe after ten and within
thirty years. They will be offered for
sale early in January. An act OF the
last Congress provided for the issue OF
such bonds. They will be accepted by
the Government as security for the de-
posit of public bonds.
Some details concerning the issue OF
the bonds yet have to be worked out
but no doubt is expressed that ready
market for them will be found in this
country.

PATRIOTIC JAPANESE.
Promise to Return to Orient IN the
Event of War With Russia.

SAN JOSE, Dec. .23.-An agent OF
the Japanese Consul at San Francisco
is at work among the japanese resi-
dents of this county enlistinS aid IN
case of war between japan and Rus
sia. 1t is said there are about 1000
Japanese in Santa Clara County. and
they are promising financial aid and
Offering to return home to fight II
war comes. The consular agent ad-
dressed a large meeting of japanese In
Star Hall at Alviso last night The
place was handsomely decorated with
American and japanese flags and pa
trfotic addresses held the audience un-
til long after midnight. Many of those
present became so imbued with patri-
otic enthusiasm that they failed to
report at the various orchards for
work to-day.
The agent was taken for a cruise
upon the bay off Alivso to-day and
treated to a banquet.
Santa Clara and this city viii be
visited next and then other points Of
the county. This missionary work
will also extend throughout the State.
Nearly every japanese not married or
engaged in business in this county is
said to have volunteered to go home

GREAT BRITAIN'S ATTITUDE.
Foreign Office Declines to Discuss Re-
port That 1t VIII Aid Japan.

LONDON. Dec. 23.-The British For
efgn Ofice declined to discuss the state
ments made in dispatches from Berlin
to-day. At the German and other en-
bassies the impression prevailed, not,
however. based on any official infor-
nation from the British Government.
that the Russian-Japanes negotiations
have reached such a point that it would
not be at all surprising If Great Brit
ain expressed her willingness. provid-
ing Japan agrees to accept certain spe-
cific compromises, TO guarantee to back
UP Japan. if necessary, by force of
arms.
Baron Hayashi the japanese Minis
ter here. in an interview said:
Nothing has actually been arrived
at between Great Britain and Japan
regarding the course of action that
will be pursued in the event of a Rus
so-Japanese war beyond the stipula-
tions OF the Anglo-Japanese treaty"
The Minister, while admitting some
such arrangement for the support of
Japan by Great Britain. fails to see
how Japan's demands can be modified.
I am getting very pessimistic re-
garding the eventual outcome" ," he said
but l do not expect the question of
peace or war To be settled until after
the new year. If the dispute can only
be settled. by war, the present delay,
OF course, is greatly to Russia's ad-
vantage"
In common with other diplomats in
London, Baron Hayashi shares the be-
lief that Russia's reply is not likely to
be decisive.
A dispatch to the Reuter- Telegram
Company from Toxic says:
'Incessant activity prevails at mill
tary headquarters. The transport and
other arrangements are complete. The
Government is calmly awaiting the
Russian reply, which, it is hoped. will
be forthcoming without delay. Press
dispatches from Korea report continued
disturbances at Mokpho and the out
break OF a Tong Haik insurrection in
Chol-La-TO province. The Tong Haiks
are party Of malcontents, whose act
ivity was the immediate cause of the
war between China and Japan. These
reports create uneasiness-"

VACUUM TUBE.
EMITS SOUND
Electrical Engineer Hears Low
Murmur Following Its Dis
connection From Battery
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK. Dec. 23.-FollOwing the
announcement in London few days
ago that an English experimenter had
found that his vacuum tube emitted
light for days after it had been discon-
nected from his battery w J. Ham
mer. an electrical engineering expert Of
this city. declared tonight that he had
obtained sounds from vacuum tube in
the same way. After disconnecting it
he laid it down on pasteboard box
hlled with excelsior. in which it was to
be sent to a factory Suddenly he heard
a low note in the room and traced it to
the discarded tube. He called his wife
TO hear the sound and both timed the
duration Of the murmur.
After FIVE minutes had elapsed Ham
mer reconnected the tube with his in
duction coil and reheated the perforated
disk for a period Of twenty seconds.
Then he disconnected ii and laid it on
the board This time the disk had re-
sponded to the heat more readily. or
for some other reason kept up the sound
fifteen minutes. He said tonight:
Evidently the unusual conditions in
the damaged X-ray tube made it pc
culiarly sensitive to sound waves in the
surrounding ether. Nine. Currie OBJ
served the same sort OF phenomena in
connection with experiments with ra-
dium-not that it gave forth heat and
light indefinitely without loss OF bulk or
weight spectroscopically for that con-
tradicted all ideas of the conservation
Of energy. but that the light waves in
the ether stimulated the radium so that
the radium gave forth its wonderful lu-
minosity."
