HARTMAN BUYS THE LINE.
Takes Over the North Shore Road tt
ThMart Santa Fe Plans.

Although President John Martin
and his financial associates in the
North Shore road decline to give con-
firmation of the deal. it is now known
that the Cazadero line, with its elec-
trio branches, has finally passed to the
control of the Hartman syndicate.
The road, III miles in length, had
been offered to several syndicates, but
declined on the ground that it was not
a paying investment, and was finally
bought by Hartman, who values it
only as means of thwarting the
Santa Fe from acquiring terminal
rights on that section of the bay shore.
Although its present owners claim
to have invested over S1,200,000 in
the improvement of the company's
lines, those that are in a position to
know assert that Hartman has Sc
cured the holdings at a far lower fig
ure, agreeing to assume the RESPONSE
bilities of bonded indebtedness and
much of the burden of liabilities ac-
cruing from the recent numerous
wrecks on the North Shore road.
President Martin. r. M. Hotaling
and E. j. de Saba control two thirds
of the $4,000 shares of capital stock
of the company, which Hartman has
purchased after promising to care for
the minority shareholders.

has made confession. His statement
regarding the death of the young

after he killed Kinney in the field he
went TO the house and told the girl
Of his deed. At first they planned to
run away and be married, but the girl
changed her mind and asked him TO
kill her. which he says he refused at
first TO do. Then she tried to get the
pistol away from him. He then told
her TO step off a few PAGES and turn
her back. which she did, when he shot

PORTLAND, Or, April 15.-High

KING planning MILLS

Overheated Smokestack Starts Blaze

The King Planning Mills, ON King

were damaged by fire to the extent of
$4,000 shortly after 6 o'clock last even
ing. The fire, which started on the
roof, was caused by an overheated
Smokestack.
L. c. Brandt, who occupies build
ing adjacent, saw the flames and
turned in the first alarm. When Act

scene the fire had gained considerable
headway on the second and third
floors and two additional alarms were
sent in. Dougherty and his men did
remarkable work in stopping the pro-
gress of the fire as they did. The
building burned like tinder, but the
firemen succeeded in extinguishing the
flames before they reached the ground
floor, on which is located most of the
machinery.

LOYALTY OF THE JEWS
An Effert Is Made to EX-

of Residents in Russia

ST. PETERSBURG, April 15.-It
influence of the church was used in
Bessarbia to prevent trouble between
Christians and Jews. For the first
time, so far as known, the church
stepped in to avert another Kishenev
affair.
Before Easter the Governor of Bes-
sarabia, Prince Ourusoff, called the
attention of Bishop Yakoff of Kishe-
nev to the malicious reports spread
among the people that the Jews were
collecting and sending money to aid
the japanese. The Governor declared
the rumors to be absolutely without
foundation.
From the beginning of the war the
Jews in Bessarabia, like the rest Of the
population, had shown their readiness
to serve their fatherland, which was
expressed in their declarations of 10y
atty to the throne and their donations
to the sick and wounded. This was
pointed out by the Governor, who urged
the Bishop to direct his clergy to COM
municate the facts to the people.
The Bishop Immediately instructed
all the priests of his diocese to ex-
plain on every civil occasion the 10y
atty and patriotism of the Jews and
to point out that reports to the con-
trary were false, adding that he
should be informed of all cases where
enmity was displayed toward the
Jews.
In st. Petersburg this order is re-
garded as an extraordinary precau-
ton, which is bound to influence the
future relations of the Christians and
the Jews.

RESTRICTING QUARRYING
Mayor Reiterates His Disapproval of
Ordinances Extending Prohibitory
Limits for Rock Crushing.

Mayor Schmitz yesterday transmitted
to the Board of Supervisors his vetoes
of the two ordinances extending the
limits within which it is prohibited to
conduct rock crushing and rock quar-
rying operations. In his veto mes
sages the Mayor calls attention to the
fact that the ordinances are identical
with two he recently vetoed and says
that as conditions remain the same he
sees no reason to change his attitude
on the matter.
He attached his former vetoes as
part of his messages, wherein he sets
forth at length the reasons why he dis
approves of the bills. Principal among
them is that the measures are intend
ed to harass Gray Bros, who have
established quarry on Thirtieth
street, near Castro, and have agreed
to conduct it so it will not be a nuis-
ance.
