:;AYS ELkINS owns line
former West Virginia Operator Tells Of Discrimination by
Railroad Asserts He was Squeezed Out and
Compelled to Dispose Of Mines

Washington, April 26.-When the
hearing before the interstate COM
merce commission in the investigation
being conducted under the Tillman-
Gillespie coal and oil resolution was
resumed during the day A. C. Fulmar
was the first witness called. He said
he formerly was in the coal business
near Morgantown, W. Va. A spur
track one and seven-eighth miles in
length connected Mr.. Fulmar's mine
with the Morgantown and Kingwood
road. He said that the road passed
into other hands in December, 1902,
and he understood that it went to-
Stephen B. Elkins. Davis Elkins, he
said, became president of the road. He
said the Elkins opened some mining
property near Morgantown, but not on
the Morgantown and KingWood rail
way. He was asked as to what cars
he obtained after that. He said he
could not get as many as he wanted
He gave the number of cars furnished
him during 1903 up to June, after
which he said he got none because,
they refused to let him have any. It.
was claimed, he said, that the branch
track was in dangerous condition. He;
also said that portion of the branch
had been torn up. The witness said
The Elkins Mines Get Cars
after he had not been able to get any.
Ex-senator Faulkner, counsel for the
Morgantown and Kingwood road, re-
ferring to the statement of witness
that the branch track was claimed by
the railway officials to be dangerous,
asked the witness if it was not true
that employees of the road had refused
to ride over the line.
Eyes, SIR he said, latter Senator
Elkfns became owner of the road, but
not before"
Mr.. Faulkner then asked the wit
ness if he did not know it to be fact
that Senator Elkins did not own TWEEN
ty shares of stock in the road. The
witness said he did not, but added that
he had heard Mr.. Elkins say he bought
it. The witness testified to the sub
mission of questions between the Nor
gantown and Kingwood railway and
himself and his mining company to
arbitration and that under the provi--
sfons of the award he sold his mine
to the railway company, receiving
$4,000.
Mr.. Fulmar said he was "squeezed
out" and remarked that he could not.
stand up against man with $4,000
900 or $50,OOO,0e0.

Buildings We're Destroyed by
! Quake and ! Fire III
San Francisco ~:

San Francisco, April ga map
just published here of the burned dis
trict shows an area covering 563 city
blocks, Ill of which are at south end of
Market street, and 452 North end. It
is estimated that the buildings
destroyed will be in the neighborhood
of sixty thousand. -.
The business section, however, is a
sad ruin, and the early hopes that
many buildings could be temporarily
occupied is not well founded. In fact,
there is not a single structure in the
business section, with the exception
of the mint, whose framework is not
out of plumb to such an extent 1t
will have to be RACED. The people,
however, are cheerful ii the extreme
and there is not a resident of the city
but has faith in the "Greater San
Francisco" sE1 T.

STORM OF INDIGNATION
All Russia Aroused by Draft of Fundamental Law Recent
g Published Governments Action Likely to
Push People to Fresh Revolution

st. Petersburg, April 26.-The polit-
ical situation has suddenly grown
threatening. The publication of the
draft of the new fundamental law"
or constitution of Russia, has raised
q storm of indignation and amidst the
present general distrust of the gov
ernment's motives has furnished just
the stimulus needed to solidfy the en-
tire opposition in parliament. The
Rech insists that with the realization
Of the new Russian loan and under
the false conviction that the revolu-
ton is suppressed "the government
has not hesitated again to show the
cloven hoof, not even hiding it's inten.
ton to dissolve parliament if it is
found to. be troublesome 5-~.ns.s-.
: M. Brianchaninoff, in the Slovo, calls
the draft of the fundamental law" a
mockery, which will be resented by
every honest man, be he a member of
the "Black Hundred or Social Rev
olutionist, and adds:
"Such mixture of lies and false
logic On the eve Of the assembling of
the parliament can only tend to push
the people is fresh revolution, with
it's attendant confiiction and anarchy.
The existing regime seems fated to 60
down in blood"

by an earthquake which laid low the
metropolis Of the Pacific coast and
started a. confagration unequaled in
the history of this country. Although
thesruddy glow Of the dying embers Of

Plans for the construction Of the
new buildings to replace those de-
stroyed by earthquakes and flames are
rapidly being drawn and work on some

Of the old sites are cold. Many of the
new buildings planned are on larger
scale than those licked up by the
flames, giving, promise that from the
