received letter from Frank Hall today urging a de-
clslve answer the question of matching Fred Russell
and Jim Mccormick. To all appearances Sullivan and
Hall are anxious to give their the go and it is likely
the two will be brought together within the next three
weeks
Owing to the n-McCartly match being on it is
possible that the RusselMcComick go will be offered to
the athletic club percentage basis. The match is
of the best talked of and will open up string of heavy
weight goes which will prove interesting.
If Mccormick is not matched with Russell Martin Hart
or Kid Mccoy will be put with the big fellow later.
Under the agreement match between Russell and Nc
Comlck would be the most interesting it would be
ranged to have the winner fight the named by efres
as his successor to the championship. This would make
the Russell-McComick go virtually heavyweight cham
ponshp battle Of itself.

TO REMODEL POLICE STATION
Plans Complete for New City Court
Rooms

Plans for remodeling the central po-
lice station were completed yesterday,
and 1t is expected that active work
on the reconstruction will begin about
May 10.
AS the plans now stand, there will
be no change on the first floor in the
offices Of the chief of police, captain,
desk sergeant and detectives, but a
complete change will be made in the
police courts on the second floor. At
present these courts are greatly dis
turbed by the noise from the street.
For this reason they will be removed
to the rear Of the building, where street
traffic will be unable to disturb them.
The rooms, which are now being used
as police courts, are to be remodeled as
a squad room for the police and small
store rooms.

SALT LAKE CITIZENS
TO VISIT LOS ANGELES
Prominent Men From Mormon City
to Come on Special
Train

Los Angeles will entertain her noun
tain neighbor, Salt Lake City, early in
May.
An authorized letter giving prelinin-
ary notice of the visitation was re-
ceived yesterday by Secretary Virgins
of the chamber of commerce. The
statement was made by Secretary
Fisher Harris of the Salt Lake Com
mercial club that at a meeting of the
club members on the evening of April
81, at which Senator w. A. Clark and
Hon. j. Ross Clark were present, it was
agreed that party of about $50 Salt
Lake citizens, including members of the
Commercial club, the mayor and men,
bers of the city council and a number of
the representative real estate dealers
of the city, would visit Los Angeles,
coming here on a special train, to re-
main a week or ten days.
The exact date of the arrival could
not be stated by Secretary Harris, but
it was suggested that the journey would
be made between May and 10, and that
Secretary Virgins and the Los Angeles
chamber OF commerce would be kept
fully advised as to plans and prepara-
tions of the Salt Lake people.
The Los Angeles chamber members
and business men will pay an official
visit to Salt Lake some time during the
month of June, the most favorable sea-
son of the year to invade the Saint city.
1t is also expected that the chamber
will arrange for the proposed trip to
San Jose and Oakland, the journey to
be made at an early date.

RAILROADS MUST
OBEY THE LAW
INTERSTATE COMMERCE CON-
MISSION FILES COMPLAINT
COURT ISSUES AN INJUNCTION
Alleged That Corporations Have Been
Charging Excessive Rates for
Shipment Of Oranges
East

Complaint against the Southern Pa
ciflc, Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe,
Santa Fe Pacific and the Southern Cali
fornia railway companies was filed in
the United States circuit court yester-
day by the interstate commerce COM
mission.
1t is charged in the complaint that the
railroad companies operating in South
ern California have violated the man
date of the interstate commerce COM
mission in charging excessive rates for
the shipment of oranges to points east
of the Mississippi river.
1t is also alleged that a rate of $1.25
per 100 pounds, maintained and enforced
by the railroad companies for transpor-
tation of oranges in carload lots from
stations in Southern California to des-
tination east of the Mississippi river is
excessive and otherwise unreasonable
and in direct violation of the provisions
of an act to regulate commerce.
Alege WiIfuI Violations
On February H. 1905, the question of
$1.25 per 1O0-pound rate was decided to
be unfair as applied to oranges. After
this decision was made by the inter-
state commerce commission an order
was issued by them directing the rail-
roads of Southern California to desst
on or before April 1, 1905. The COM
plant AYERS that the defendants have,
through their officers, servants and
agents, wholly, wilfully and knowingly
violated and disobeyed this order.
The complaint asks that, on a final
hearing, a decree be entered, granting
the interstate commerce commission an
injunction restraining the railroads
from violating their order of February
IL, and in case an injunction Is granted
by the court fine of not over $500 day
is asked for each day the injunction is
broken.
Judge Wellborn signed an order,
authorizing the secretary Of the inter-
state commerce commission to make
service of the complaint on the presi-
dents of the different railroads. An or
der was issued directing the defendants
to file the answer bill by June 5.

HAYS ATTORNEYS
ASSAIL TWOGOOD
ALLEGE ENTRIES IN HIS HAND
WRITING WERE FALSE
ROGERS REFERS TO BOOKS
Character Of Prosecutions Witness Is
Severely Attacked In Arguments
Of Lawyers for the
Defense

For nearly five hours the character
of Witness Twogood was assailed yes
terday afternoon by the lawyers who
are defending Tom Hays before jury
in the United States court.
Many questions unanswered by the
bookkeeper of the Orange Growers Ma
tional bank on the witness stand were
put to the jury by Judge Chapman and
Earl Rogers in their arguments for the
defense.
"There are many entries in the jour
nal that never were posted" Mr.. Chap
man charged. "You can find them on
various dates. There are deductions
and inaccuracies on the part not only
of Hays but others. Mr.. Twogood ad-
mits, after much questioning, that very
often the entries were not transferred
to the general ledger until the next
day. Errors are shown to have been
made by both Hays and by Twogood,
and it must be remembered that the
bookkeeper had as great an opportunity
to take money as Mr.. Hays"
Judge Chapman concluded his argu-
ment for the defense at o'clock. He
was followed by Earl Rogers, who ad-
dressed the jury until the court ad-
journed for the day.
Rogers AssaIs Witness
Mr.. Rogers was even more severe in
his remarks against the character of
Twogood than was his colleague, Judge
Chapman.
I'm looking over the books of the
Orange Growers National bank, which
are offered as the principal evidence of
Hays guilt, find at least fifty errors
and false entries, many of them in the
handwriting of Mr.. Twogood," said Mr..
Rogers. "In one place I find dis
crepancy of $500, which runs through
the books for nine months, and is final
ly corrected in Twogoods handwrit-
ing; still the books balance every day
during the nine months. In another
place find an entry TO ]. E. D., s2150.'
The existence Of this item cannot be
accounted for by Twogood, but he says
the initials are those of Jennie E.
Daniels. There is an error here. None
knows where the money has gone, but
the correction has been made in the
handwriting of Mr.. Twogood.'
A number of other cases of correc-
tions made in the book in the handwrit-
ing of Twogood were cited by Mr..
Rogers.
The argument will continue again to-
day.

dering about the streets during the storm
finally sought shelter and safety in an al
leyway in the rear of a barroom. A sudden
terrific gust of wind unroofed a house near
the barroom, blowing the timbers onto the
roof of the saloon building. The mass OF
timbers crashed through the roof of the
saloon and crushed the life out of the bar
tender and three other men in the building.
The stranger who had sought shelter in the
rear part of the barroom in some miracu-
lous manner escaped from the falling tim
bers, although many fell in close proximity
to where he was crouching.
The stranger, unhurt, crawled through
the debris, went to a nearby hotel. was as
signed n room and retired to it. Shortly
afterward one of the maids, in passing
through hallway. detected the odor of es-
Gaping gas. The manager was summoned
and investigation revealed the fact that the
gas came from the room recently taken by
the stranger who had so miracuously es-
capped from death in the storm. The door
was broken open and the man was found
gaspng for breath and almost beyond hui
man help. A physician was sent for, and
after working with the man for several
hours he restored to consciousness
whereupon he admitted that he had turned
on the gas with the intention of committing
suicide; that he was tired of life and want
ed to die.
He had made every effort possible to es-
cape death in the storm. but Immediately
afterward secured a cozy room in a large
hotel and turned on the gas.

ENGINEERING ENTERPRISES.
Billions of Dollars to Be Expended in
Railroad Construction.

From the Forum.
1t may be Of interest to call attention to
the fact that in engineering as in other
department of work and activity the things
which are considered of the greatest mag
nitude and Importance are by no means
those of the largest cost and difficulty.
Thus. the Simplon tunnel, important as it
is in connection with the opening of new
routes from Italy to the North sea, is esti-
mated to cost about s15,O00G00, or less
than one-third Of the cost of the New York
Rapid Transit subway The maximum esti-
mated cost of the Panama canal, cut to
sea level, is SEQ, 600, while the estimates
for the subways in New York city
alone, not including that already completed,
amount to s250,00JC09
Ii has been estimated that the works
now projected and partially under way in
and about New York at the present time
will Involve the expenditure of nearly
$3.50, 900, 900! These works include the
Pennsylvania railroad tunnels and termi-
nal S500O0,O0O; the electrification of the
New York Central lines entering New York,
with the reconstruction Of the Grand Gen.
trail station, $45O00,0O0; subways in
Greater New York. $3.50 000, 600; Manhat-
tan, BlackwelPs Island and other bridges,
$50, 100000; extension of the New York
water supply, $50, 100000; Improvement of
the harbor and the dredging of the Am
brose channel, 100000. Similar great ex-
penditures are planned about Chicago. 1t
has been announced that extensive railroad
improvements and connections about
Chicago to facilitate the handling OF the
rapidly increasing traffic will involve the
expenditure of about 5000 600 600; while
the freight subway, which has been so sue
cessfully and unobtrusively built under the
Chicago streets, is to be enlarged and ex-
tended. it Is reported, at a cost Of $50 DOC, 600
to s10O, 100000.
There are thus contemplated and already
partially under way in and about two great
of the Tinted
works involving an outlay of more than
500, 000, 900, most of which will be provided
from private and corporate resources, and
all of which is attracting much less atten-
ton than are few national works of less
than one-third the total cost. These are
but a few of the works which owe their
existence to the development of the applied
science of engineering, works which are
destined to create values out of all pro-
portion to the expenditures which they are
causing and works which, with their sue
cessors may change the courses OF trade,
the prosperity of nations and the conduct
of governments.

Smoking Tells Character.
From Modern Mexico.

From Modern Mexico.
\ Mexican contemporary gives the fol-
lowing rules for judging character by the
manner in which cigarettes are smoked:
He who smokes his cigarette down to the
bitter end is either a miser or an egotist.
Out of each ten nine are misers.
He who smokes fast without ever taking
the cigarette from his mouth is hot-tem-
pered, jealous, of strong character and
quarrelsome.
Those who knock off the ashes at short
intervals have something on their mind OF
worrying over their bad luck.
Those who play with their cigarettes until
they burn their fingers or their lips are
every ten eight are newspaper men and two
are poets.
Those who carry their cigarettes delicate
ly between the index and the middle finger
are first-class liars, and the truth is not in
them.
Those who puff out the smoke in big
clouds enjoy good health.
Those who blow it out in thin, little
streams are invalids or lazy.
Those who take great pains to prevent
the ashes dropping from the cigarette are
foolish and weak minded.
Those who smoke in front of the ladies
have never read work on good manners
The ladies who smoke believe in exercis-
ing the rights of men. And those who dc
not smoke at all have the best sense and
health of all.
