BILLY VICE PAYS
UNEXPECTED VISIT
TO HIS FORMER HOME
Absconding Ticket Agent Of tho Union
Pacific Railway Is Seen In San
Francisco.
Takes Advantage Of the Recent Disaster
to Return to the Scene Of His
Crime.
He Is Greatly Changed In Appearance
and Shows the Wear Of Travel
In Foreign Chimes.

After an absence OF two years, the
formerly familiar face of BILLY" Vice.
the absconding ticket agent OF the
Union Pacific Railway, was seen yes
terday in this city. Two years ago
Vice, who was well known throughout
the city in social, financial and busi-
ness circles, suddenly disappeared. and
the Union Pacific officials announced
that he had robbed the company OF
more than $4,000. 1t is believed that
the sum taken was double that amount.
Vice, taking advantage OF the recent
disaster, decided to revisit his former
home.
Vices disappearance and exposure
was more sensational from the fact
that 1t occurred the day after his
daughters wedding. Not only did he
mulct his employers, but he forged his
wife's name to a chattel mortgage on
the furniture and disposed of the fam
ilys household goods. The methods
pursued by Vice in his looting were
peculiar, his position enabling him to
rob emigrants and poor people OF their
return ticket to foreign parts and SELL
ing them to others desiring to leave
the country.
Vice first fed to Honduras, but word
was later received that he had been
seen in Boston in company with
Fleischman, who robbed the Los An
geles banks two years ago.

structing it fourteen years ago. made
it flexible, with slip joints, having the
lesson of the earthquake of 1868 to
guide him. The 1906 quake proved too
strong for that, but the pipe is now

Schussler says. will withstand shock

Chief Engineer Schussler of the
Spring Valley Water Company took a
party of engineers, geologists and
newspaper men over his mains and
reservoirs last Saturday. He has by
this time reorganized the system, and
by today the supply of the city will be
equal IN proportion to that 1t was get
ting before April IS.
That the water company was put out
of business for few days is no longer
to be wondered at. The willy earth
quake, evidently bent upon the destruc-
tion of the city, hit straight from the
shoulder at the water works. The
great fault which splits for miles the
Bald Hill range in San Mateo passes
straight through the chains of reser-
voirs. With an exactitude that Is al
most ludicrous it follows the great
Pilarcitos main. The main looks like
it, too. 1t is fiattened out like burst
bladder for hundreds of yards In
places; at a score of places 1t has been
jerked longitudinally till the open ends
cape at each other eight feet apart; at
other points it is telescoped and in
Frawley Gulch the trestle upon which
1t ran has been thrown down the
creek a full twenty feet, as If by a
playful cuff of some gigantic being.
At Baden the San Andreas main was
torn apart. The Crystal Springs main,
passing over a marsh on a trestle, was
thrown clean off 1t for 1900 feet and
lay upon the road like a gigantic dor
mant serpent Both of the latter
breaks have been repaired by Schuss-
Ter. The PilaTcitos mains has been
abandoned, but the water will come
into the city through another main.
PIPES ARE TORN APART.
The party met at Baden. 1t con-
sisted OF Engineer Schussler, Professor
Frank Soule, dean of civil engineering
at the University of California; Pro-
fessor S. B. Christy, dean OF the Col
lege OF Mining Engineering at the same
Institution; C. B. Wing, professor of
structural engineering at Stanford Uni
versity; ]. B. Lippincott, supervising g
engineer of the United States Geolog-
ical Survey, and Engineer Adams the

The break at Baden was first exam

slipped south for eight feet. or that a
block west, of the fault had slipped
eight feet to the north: II Is only by
extensive and accurate surveys, that
will be made, that it will be found
which of the two things occurred. That
there was a slip of eight feet, however,
is an established fact. Schussler, who
knows that country thoroughly, is OF
the opinion shat the slip was between
the sedimentarysa and. sandstone forma-
tions which lie against each other for
miles along the hills.

miles. 1t was along the eastern edge
of the lakes most OF the time. but cut
through them in places 1t struck the
San Andreas earth dam at one of the
concrete supports and knocked 1t back
seven or eight feet, as IL with q blow

the dam remaining in position. The
fault makes right for the immense con-
crete dam of the Crystal Springs Lake
reservoir, and starts again on its other
side, but the dam itself does not show
a crack tribute to Engineer Schuss-
ler's constructive ability.
At the time of the earthquake the
Spring Valley reservoirs were pouring
SO, 000 600 gallons a day into the city.
The earthquake stopped every quart of
that. Eighty million gallons were
stored in the city reservoirs, and that
ran out through the fire hydrants and
the broken pipes during the day. With
in sixteen hours, however, Schussler
had 7,000.000 gallons flowing in from
Lake Merced. Following that he re-
paired the San Andreas pipe at Baden.
Through this the College Hill reservoir,
supplying the South Mission. was filled.
The Lake Honda reservoir which had
been destroyed, was repaired mean
while and filled as a treserve for the
fire department.
Yesterday the water was started
again down the Crystal Springs main.
and by evening the university Mound
reservoir was filled. A pumping sta
ton is being built at Twenty sixth anc

1000 900 gallons day to the upper

unwholesome Lake Merced water. The

The official had but TO glance at it when

Jarvis. with fash in his dark eyes.
y know his father was glad you gave him
such punishment, and / believe it has made
him think more of you than he already
thought He has done all parent could for
him. He sent him to Princeton College, but
he was turned out for bad behavior, and now
he has placed him in his office But you
are likely TO see him again"
The conductor, after a few more words, was
called away
Leaning forward in his seat, Jarvis looked
out the window and inspected the country
through which they were passing. He had
learned from his new acquaintance that the
superintendent and most of those whom he
saw the previous evening had gone through to
Des Cartes. 1t will be understood that this
was a great relief to the boy.
At the end of an hour the slowing of the
cars, sounding of the whistle and the sight of
numerous houses showed that the train was
gliding through the outskirts of Des Cartes,
a town of about six thousand inhabitants.
Jarvis was conscious of futtering of the
heart the cars came to halt by the station,
and he stepped out on the platform with the
rest of the passengers Some of these scat
tered and left, while the rest passed over TO
the other platform alongside the double track
of the Midland Central to await the train
that was TO take them TO their destination.
The conductor had given Jarvis all the
points" he needed, and he sauntered down
the street and across the block to the large
brick building containing the offices not only
of the B. & d. c. Railroad Company, but of
the Midland as WE'LL
The office which Jarvis was seeking was on
the second floor, and was reached from the
outside by means of winding iron stairs As
he started up he saw one man ahead of him,

'ARTHUR II. DUNBAR, Superintendent"
Inclosed in this letter was a written order,
signed by the superintendent, for the free
passage of Jarvis Brinton over the B. and D.
G. Railroad, good until january LIST following
Rare are those who showed the tact that
the gentle Mrs. Brinton did on this memorable
evening She had a natural horror of every
thing violent, and when she read the first por-
tion Of the rather remarkable letter written
by the superintendent, she was so affected that
she could read no further; but the conclu-
sion, as she heard it from the lips of Jarvis,
put an altogether different face on it.
She understood the whole occurrence and
while it still was her opinion that the insults
should have been submitted to in silence, vet
she knew the hot blood Of youth, and it was
not in her heart to condemn her son for do
ing that which ninety-nine persons out of a
hundred would commend.
Instead, therefore, of entering into an EN-.
barrassng and perhaps weariSome discussion,
she concluded to make no reference at all to
the affray. If she did not do 80, it was not
to be supposed that Jarvis would bring the
subject forward. Looking calmly at him, who
tried to return the gaze, she asked
elbow long ago did you leave the train by
the trestle-work?"
81 suppose it must be four hous-maybe
more"
"I was wondering how it was that this let
ter was delivered 80 soon after the occurrence
but it is clear now. Although dated at Des
Cartes, it was not written there. because No

Entering long, broad hall, he found it
lined with offices on both sides, the names of
which appeared in gilt letters on the doors.
Halfway down the hall, on the left side, he
was confronted by the words:
"Superintendents Office,
B. & D. O. r. Il. co."
Without hesitation, Jarvis turned the knob
and entered.
The small space surrounding him was in
closed by railing, while the rather roomy
apartment beyond contained a number Of
desks, and at the opposite end was a door
leading into another apartment, upon the en-
trance of which were the words:
