SAYS LAD IN RAGS
IS PULLMAN HEIR
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

SBECiAL DlSPAICH THE CALL.
NEW YORK. Dec. 27.-A boy of 5
years. whom a woman asserting her
self to be his mother, says is Edmund
Pullman, son of George H. Pullman, a
grandson of the inventor Of the Pull
man palace car. and heir to $4,000 in
trust, was found wrapped in rags and
shivering from cold on the top floor
of tenement house at 637 West
Twenty-eight street last night. Agents
of the Childrens Society went to the
house on information given them and
carried the boy to the rooms of the
Children's Society, where he was fed
and given proper clothing.
The woman, who gave her name as
Lillian Pullman, was in the Children's
Court this afternoon. She told Jus
tice Olmsted that the boy, Edmund,
was the son of the late George H.
Pullman, who was her husband, she
claims, and that she was now living in
a tenement apartment with a man
named Cornelius Breslin, a bricklayer
According to her statement to the
magistrate, George Pullman before his
death about four years ago had rec
ognized the claim OF the child upon
him by leaving trust fund of $4,000
In Pullman palace car stock for him.
which he is to have possession of when
21 years of age
Mrs. Breslin. as she called herself in
court. declared that she was married
to-George III. Pullman and that they
had resided in Baltimore until they
came to New York TO live. She de-
cldred that she obtained a divorce from
Pullman on statutory grounds shortly
before he died. Before the birth Yof
Edmund, she said. Pullman had ar
ranged for the trust fund.
CHICAGO, Dec. 27.-Frank o. Low
den, who was attending a banquet of
the Elks at Dixon, III, tonight when
informed of the Breslin woman's story.
denied the existence of son of George
II. Pullman
He said the entire story told by Mrs.
Breslin to Justice Olmsted in New York
was a falsehood. He further stated
that there was absolutely nothing in
the reported $4,000 trust fund for the
alleged Edmund Pullman.
There is nothing of this character
in the Pullman will, and it is not pos
sible that George II. Pullman had suf-
fcient money of his own TO have made
any such provisions" declared Low
den.

Idaho's Executive Writes
Letter to Franklin <.
Lane About Coal Famine
THREATENS RAILROAD
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 27.-Fuii re-
sponsibiIity for the coal famine in
Idaho is placed upon the Oregon Short
ernor Goodipe In a letter to Franklin
K. Lane of the Interstate Commerce
Commission received today. Drastic
measures for the relief of the public's
distress was threatened by the Idaho
executive, who denounced the railway
company as a corporation which cares
only for dividends"
The nature of the step contemplated
by Governor Gooding is not known
here, but 1t is assumed that he thought
Of seizing the railroads and operating
them in behalf of the people.
The Governor informed the Com
missioner that he would recommend
the creation of a railroad commission
in his annual message to the Legis-
lature, which convenes on January T.
Governor Gooding attached copy OF
report made by the Immigration
Commissioner, who, after an analysis
of existing conditions, concluded that
the coal famine in Western Wyoming
South and Southwest Idaho was due
to shortage in moving power and
cars.
.aThe serious trouble" writes Gov
ernor Gooding. 1T seems to me, is the
fact that among the transportation
companies the one important con-
sideration in their management is the
obtaining of dividends without regard
to the service rendered to the people
The latter consideration is entirely
lost sight of. The Oregon Short Line
Railroad Company in the southern
part of the State has complete
monopoly of the railroad field. You
are no doubt aware that this company
is a big dividend payer
The Oregon Short Line is using a
large part of it's equipment. both in
cars and motive power, to furnish the
smelters at Butte and Anaconda with
coal. while the people here have
actually suffered"
The Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion has authority to take any ac-
ton, but the information offered by
Governor Gooding will find place in
the report which the commission Will
make either to the President or Con-
gress on the car shortage situation

Awaits Advice of Attorney as
to How to Proceed

While awaiting an opinion from At
tornx \ James A. Devote as to the prop
er method of procedure, President Duff
fey of the Board of Works expresses
himself as ready and determined to
proceed with the utmost vigor to pro-
tect the public from the death curves
maintained by the United Railroads.
Devote is expected to advise the board
as to its power to compel the United
Railroads to tear up its tracks which
are laid within eleven feet of side
walk curbs in violation of the ordi-
nance. Duffey expects to get the
opinion today.
The Commissioner says that he is
fully aware of the fact that the law
has been violated and that the United
Railroads is liable to an almost count
less number of fines under the terms
of the ordinance for such repeated vio-
lations.
Duffey, however, wants first to ascer-
tain if it is within the power of the
The San Francisco call., 1906-12-28

Board of Works to compel the cor
poration to relay its tracks according
to the law in the ordinance books.
Il want to proceed cautiously in this
matter" said Duffey yesterday, "as
am under heavy bonds for the proper
performance of my duty, and I must
protect my bondsmen from any dam
age suits.
1T may be that the Police Depart
ment has Jurisdiction in the case, for
the United Railroads seem to be in
clear violation of the ordinance which
requires street car tracks to be at least
eleven feet away from the curb. If
so, then some official of the company
could be arrested on test case. This
would necessarily decide If the ordi-
nance is worth more than the paper

this list of requests for renewals Of
license?" then demanded Creswell, turn
ing suddenly to Chief Dinan, and the
Chief was forced to admit that several
of the places which he had recomr
mended for renewal had complaints
against them.
Il think that this matter would bet
ter be put over tonight, and / move
that special meeting of the board be
called for noon tomorrow and that the
City Attorney be requested to have
his opinion ready at that time de-
clared Creswell.
LEAHY ENTERS OBJECTION
Commissioner Leahy entered
strenuous objection to this proposal,
insisting that the commission take up
the matters coming before it in their
calendar order, overlooking the fact
that most of the complaints now on
file have been pigeonholed while minor
matters have been placed ahead of
them. Creswell stated that If such
objection had merit the commission
should mend matters by meeting every
day and every night until the calendar
could be cleaned off. He inquired of
Williams as to what the nature of
Burke's report would be, but Williams
he was without authority to do So
Creswell then sought information on
the subject from another attorney who
was present and was interrupted by
Commissioner Hagerty, who wanted to
know why he was attempting to get
this information.
Il am getting this for personal rea-
sons" answered Creswell.
You mean that you are taking up
the time of this commission in order
to secure personal information?" re-
torted Hagerty.
Creswell refused to carry the wordy
passage at arms any further and the
motion to hold a special meeting at
noon today was put and carried Some
sort of action will probably be taken
on the strength of Burke's report, and
this will either settle the dispute be-
tween the Commission and Captain
Mooney or else throw the breach wide
open.

QUAKE IS EXPLAINED.
Origin and Cause of California Dis
aster Made Plain by Scientists.

Sacramento. Cal, June The pre-
liminary report of the state earth
quake investigation committee has
been received at the Office of Governor
PaFdee- Under the heading of the re-
suits the report says:
zone Of the remarkable features of
the coast ranges of California is a line
of peculiar geodetic construction,
which extends obliquely across the en-
tire width of the mountainous belt
from Mendocino county to Riverside
county. The surface feature along
this line has been formed by disloca-
ton of the earths crust. or a series of
dislocations in times past with a dir
ferential movement OF the parts on
either side of the plane of rupture
The movements that produced the
line are attributed to separate earth
quakes extending back to the quar-
ternary period.
In general terms, the cause of these
movements is attributed to the
theory that stresses are generated in
the earth s crust and accumulate until
they exceed the strength of the rocks
composing the crust and find relief in
a sudden rupture. The earthquake of
April Is. is said to have been due to
one of these movements and the extent
OF the rift is described as extending
from the vicinity of Point Arena TO the
neighborhood of San Juan. Benito
county. a distance Of 1876 miles.
The evidence of the rupture and OF
the differential movement is clearly
defined in a continuous furrow in the
surface soil several feet wide The
average horizontal displacement is 20
feet wide. In Sonona and Mendocino
counties there Is a different vertical
movement not exceeding four feet.
I'm consequence of this movement. -
the report goes on to say, at is prob
able that the ATTITUDES and longftudes
of all points in the coast range have
been permanently changed a few feet
will undoubtedly contribute greatly not
only to our knowledge OF the evolu-
ton of the earth's crust. but also to
our knowledge of the means of mini
mixing the calamities which arise from
the destruction of buildings and water
pipes when such shocks occur in the
future

WHERE is THE WEST.
The Brazilian Ambassador Says He
Couldn't Find It.

Washington, June Al tried very
hard indeed to find the west about
which 1 had heard so much. but l
came to the conclusion that it is a
myth" said Mr.. Nabuco, the Bra
lillian ambassador. in an interview to-
day, following his return from a visit
to the Pacific coast. There is no diff
feernce between the people of your
various states that I could perceive.
At every station where we stopped
the people and the surroundings
looked just as they do in the east. L
was astonished to find in places al
most unknown to foreigners daily
papers with kilograms from all the
world. San Francisco showed us in
its burning ashes the same results, de-
termined people already beginning to
rebuild their city and all full of the
energy and courage characteristic Of
your race.
s'The one thing about Americans
which must impress visitors more
than anything else is the absence of
any so-caled lower strata in your So
ciety. In this country there are no
men and women of the sort always
referred to In Europe as the people
Men and women here never admit
that they are at the foot of the So
cial ladder, and # they are there they
don't look 1t; they appear to be at the
top There are no visible barriers to
stop the rising Of the ambitious. Am
bitton Is your life. and you seem all
to be moved UP by automatic springs
II looked In vain for some place
that would look provincial. Even in
the heights of the Sierras under the
snow peaks, any little village would
show that IT keeps we'll in contact
with the outer world. In Europe if
one stops at small station, even in
the principal lines Of travel one NAV
md himself IN a place where every
essential of refined life is wanting:
but in this country where all is
change and interchange. railways
electric light. telephones. lifts and All
modern improvements are every
where This uniformity of your life
from sea to sea is amazing
Mr.. Nabuco also visited the north
Pacific coast and says he was mucb
impressed by the industry and thrift
there.
