Six Weeks, Is Victim Of A.
Brlghtmsn, Her Former
Admirer
CRAzED BY UNREoUITED LOVE

Crazed with jealousy and unrequited
love. A. Brightman of San Jose shot
and killed Mrs Charles II, Gurney
yesterday morning while standing on
her own doorstep and then turned the
weapon on himself, sending a bullet
into his brain.
with hardly moments notice,
Brightman is said to have stepped UP
to Mrs Gurney, who was sitting on the
porch of her residence, 619 Loomis
street, drawn from his pocket pistol,
pressed the muzzle to the young wo-
mans left temple and fired the fatal
bullet into her brain which caused her
death an hour later in the receiving
hospital.
Stepping hack from the PROSTATE
body at his feet, Brightman looked for
several seconds in kind of stupor at
the result of a crime into which he
had been led by the blind passion of
jealousy. Then rousing himself he has
tened, with wild-eyed frenzy. north

clutching frantically at the smoking
pistol which he held In his hand. When
in front of F. G. Ludlow's residence, 6OT
Loomis street, he turned sharply into
the front yard and there sent bullet
crashing into his own brain, dying in
stantly.
Was Rejected Suitor
Brightman was the rejected suitor of
Miss Donna Vincent, who six weeks
ago was welded to Charles H. Gurney,
local newspaper man now in San
Francisco. Brightman's affection for
Mrs. Gurney was an old attachment
and is said to have been approved by
Mrs. Vincent, the mother of the muir
dered girl.
A year ago Mrs. Gurney's former
suitor left Los Angeles and went to
| San Francisco and later to San Jose.
Shortly after he left Los Angeles Miss
Vincent met Charles Gurney and the
meeting eliminated, six weeks ago, in
marriage ceremony, solemnized at the
court house in this city,
From letters found in Brightmans
pockets it appears that he heard of the
wedding, but wishing to have it veri-
fed, communicated with Justice Pierce,
who performed the ceremony. An an

the justice states that Miss Vincent

SEARCHING FOR PASSAGE
VIadivostok Warships Trying to Dis
cover Route for Rojestvensky


ST. PETERSBURG, May 12.-The
admiralty declines to divulge any in
formation about the ships of the
Vladivostok division, which are re-
ported to be off the coast of Japan,
but the impression prevails in naval
circles that, acting under the instruc-
tions of Vice Admiral Rojestvensky,
they have passed through the Suguru
straits into the Pacific ocean on a
reconnaissance to ascertain If the
passage is free of mines and feasible
for Rojestvenskys squadron, and also
to threaten Japanese commerce. All
the Russian naval divisions now in
the far east are acting under Rojest-
vensky's orders.
M. Vronski, the military expert of the
Novoe Vremya, explains that the fail
ure of Field Marshal Oyama to under
take an advance, as well as the failure
OF the Japanese to send an expedition
to the island of Sakhalien, is due tC
the appearance of Rojestvensky'
squadron in Chinese waters.

MUCH AMMUNITION CAPTURED

Special Cable to The Herald.
MANILA, May 12.-It can be said on
the highest authority that Russia has
been supplying Japan with munitions
of war since March Is Of this year, ani
that the supplies have been all suffi-
cient for the Japanese squadron guard
ing the straits of Sunda and operating
north of Sulu sea. Confirmation of this
can be had from the Crown Distilling
company of San Francisco and from
banking firm of worldwide fame, with
houses in London, New York and Paris.
The japanese, under the command of
Admiral Kamimura, have seized four
steamships sent from San Francisco
with provisions, guns and ammunition
for Rojestvensky's fleet.
The st. Petersburg government made
a $3,O00,000 war deal with the head of
an American banking house, by which
cargoes were to be sent in seven mer-
chant vessels from San Francisco to
the French China waters for the relief
of Rojestvensky. The Japanese learned
of this deal and promptly informed
their government, which took the re-
uuired action. OF the seven ships only
four sailed from San Francisco, and
they were captured by the Japanese.
The Russian admiralty then realized
that it's plans had been betrayed and
stopped the other vessels from sailing.
The names of the captured ships
cannot be obtained, either from the
Japanese consul or from the American
commander here, Admiral George G.
Reter, but it is admitted that four
Russian ships are in the possession of
Admiral Kamimura.

Special to The Herald.
WASHINGTON, d. c., May 12.-At
the cabinet meeting today Mr. Roose-
velt praised Secretary Taft for his
speech at the railway banquet few
nights ago, and declared he was more
than ever convinced that the people
of the United States were determined
to exercise a greater measure of con-
troll over railways and all other public
service corporations.
The president also remembered that,
during his absence from the capital.
Mr.. Morton, his secretary of the navy,
had dallied with the railway question.
Various exaggerated reports had been
put in circulation, and Mr.. Morton
had been regarded by some as having
given the presidents railway policy
black eye and earned an early dis
missal from the cabinet table. To the
surprise of all the president praised
Mr.. Morton's speech.
Among other things he said that all
we're trying to get to the same place
by different roads, and that he thought
Mr.. Morton had done good by urging
the managers to remember that the
public has it's rights and that it would
be good policy ON their part not to
stand out against the general good.

Shippers Are Amused

When the code words standing for
the names of the interstate commerce
commissioners were read, laughter and
handclapping among the shippers
caused Chairman Clements to rap for
order.
Questioned regarding prices paid by
various railroads for icing cars, Mr..
Streyckmans replied:
1.-THE Northwestern billed ice at 81 a
ton. That furnished by the Chicago
Milwaukee & st. Paul was billed at
$3.50 with a rebate of 81 being granted
on a counter claim.
"In the case of the Erie it was $1.25.
This gave large profits to the Armour
lines.
Among those who received more
than so per cent rebate" said the wit
ness, "were Frank H. Buck of San
Francisco, the Earl Fruit company, the
Porter Bros. company, the Producers
Fruit company and others. Those who
paid and received less than a so per
cent rebate were Stephens & Hum
phreys, S. r. Roper, Schnadel Bros,
George d. Kellog and others"
He said the net cost of ice to the
Armour car line on the New York Cen
trail was 50 a ton, on the West Shore
roads $3.50 ton, on the Baltimore &
Ohio $3.50 a ton, on the Pennsylvania
lines 50 and $3.50 ton. Streyckmans
declared that the profits to the Armour
lines on the icings ran as high as 500
to 600 per cent.
'The profits per car on shipments
from California to New York" said the
witness, were on an average of 1865 "
Would Give Commission Powers
A. B. stickney, president of the Chi
cago a. Great Western railway, has
filed with the senate committee on in
terstate commerce a statement in favor
of giving the interstate commerce COM
mission power to fix rates. He says
that the commission would be the most
satisfactory arbitrator possible. Speak
ing of rebates, he says that "since
the injunctions the traffic directors
have stopped paying rebates on grain
shipments but in lieu thereof have paid
elevator fees, which is another way OF
giving rebates"

CHARGE MADE AGAINST THE
LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR
NAFTZGER'S NAME BROUGHT IN
Witness Declares That He Handled
the Rebate Business for Armour
In california-secret Code
Explained

Special to The Herald.
CHICAGO, May 12.-Important testi-
mony was given before the interstate
commerce commission today by H..
Streyckmans, formerly employed as
stenographer by the Armour company.
Most sensational was his answer
when he was asked if he knew per-
sonally of any shipper who had re-
ceved rebates from the Armour car
lines.
YES" said the witness positively.
"at the very time that Lieutenant Gov
ernor Alden Anderson of California was
declaring in the newspapers that he
was not getting rebates, was making
out his rebate statements, which
showed that he got rebates amounting
to about So per cent of the tariff
charges"
The man who handled the rebate
business in California for Armour, he
said, was A. H. Naftzger. Contrary
to the testimony of others at the form
er hearing, Streyckmans said the Ar
mour car lines had scales of rebates
and that he knew of some rebates larg-
er than those given Lieutenant Gov
ernor Anderson
Los Angeles herald., 1905-05-13
Describes Secret Code

Testimony as to an alleged secret code
used by the Armour car lines in making
rebates was given by Streyckmans.
Witness read from book some of the
code words and their meaning as fol-
lows:
"Laughsome-Rebat
Launch - Better arrange rebate
there
"Launching-Can make rebate.
"Laura-Handle rebate matters very
carefully.
"Lavada-Pay rebates from cash on
hand.
"Laveallo-Rebate must be confiden-
tial.
"Woodpath = Interstate commerce
commission"
Here there was a ripple of laughter
among the shippers present. The in
terstate commerce commissioners
smiled. Mr.. Streyckmans continued:
"Footnote-Meet interstate commerce
