Means Extended Lines and
Great improvement
Special To The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
SAN BERNARDINO, Dec. 23.--An-
other rather startling development has
appeared i'm the affairs of the San
Bernardino Valley Traction company,
the latest turn giving President A. G.
Denman, jr., control absolute OF the
affairs of the company.
1t all came about because one of the
directors of the Fisher faction was
late in attending the meeting of the
directors held this week. Il. S. Gra-
ham of Redlands was the man who
was tardy. j. j. Prendergast of Red
lands, "a Fisher director, had previous
ly filed his resignation and the mat
ter came up as one of the first matters
to be acted upon, and 1t was accepted.
Victor Smith of San Bernardino, an
avowed Denman man, was elected,
which gives Denman interests five of
the members of the board and its con-
troll.
This startling development in the
middle of the year recalls the fight
Denman made last spring for control,
but was, finally prevented from gain
ing 1t by the failure to transfer a por-
tion of his stock in time.
The ascendency of the Denman in
terests in the company means that at
once the Riverside extension, Redlands
cut-on and union depot project in this
city will be pushed to completion as
fast as the work can be done and will
also mean much for the growth of this
city as an electric railroad center.
Another new road which has been
projected is a cutoff from this city
to Cotton via Urbta Springs to be used
for the cars of the Riverside line, 1t
being shorter than the present line to
Cotton. 1t would also give Cotton di-
rect communication with the Springs,
thing greatly to be desired.
Well Known Man Dies
j. A. Corcoran, for years one of the
best known railroad men in this city,
Is dead, his death occurring at the
Southern California state hospital,
where he had been confined for in
sanity for several months. Corcoran
was one of the principal witnesses of
the Moran-Barden shooting affair dur
ing the street fair in this city a little
more than two and a half years ago.
During the trial of that case, Cor
coran underwent probably the most
severe cross examination ever given a
witness in this city's courts at the
hands of attorneys employed in the
case. His part In the affair seemed
to affect his mind and he has never
since been right. Then troubles came
to his family, his little boy being
stricken with deafness. The affairs
all weighed on his mind until he
broke down and became a raving
maniac.

gan Livery company, was found this
morning in an unconscious condition
lying in the alley back of the livery
barn. He was removed TO the Pasa-
dena hospital, where he remained un-
conscious until his death at p. m.
IT is believed that the man had at
tempted to climb to the loft of the
harm while drunk, lost his balance and
fell, striking on his head. The man
was well known about the city and
only few days ago was in the police
court for plain drunk.

There Is a growing suspicion
that Engineer Wallace's resign.
alton as chief of the Panama
canal project was not influenced
by mercenary motives altogether
although to properly appreciate
his position you want to have
your salary doubled and then
choose between love (of money!
and duty to your former en-
ployee. There is a growing
impression that the Panama
route is not all that it is repre-
scented as being and one eminent
authority is quoted as saying
that it will cost six hundred mil

Judge Cochrane is getting re-

Of them state their character, he Is con-
fident that except In one or two In
stances they show no contribution for
political purposes since 1891. The ex-

tons cover transactions of $500 or $500
in small banks and do not 60 into de-

to require them to cause restoration
