NEW YORK, Dec. 1S.-Andrew Car
negie addressed the meeting of the Ma
tional Civic federation today on the
subject of an income tax. He opposed
such measure, but advocated a law
to provide for the reverting to the state
of the major portion of the wealth of
multi-millionaires on their death. Mr..
Carnegie said:
81 think an income tax would pene-
trate business to the core. l think
this country would never regret any
thing so much as to impose such tax.
II differ with the president strongly
on the subject of the income tax. But
I am in a peculiar position on the in
heritance tax, advocating that as
something like getting better distri-
button of wealth. The subject of
wealth distribution will not down."
Wealth Belongs to Community
Mr. Carnegie said he believed that
inasmuch as the wealth of property be-
longed to the community the latter,
on the death of the possessor, should
acquire a great portion of the wealth,
having had a large part to do with its
development.
"Our country fails in it's duty" said
Mr.. Carnegie, "if it does not exact a
share, a tremendous share of the estate
of the enormously wealthy upon his
death. The money belongs to the COM
munity f rt
"Don't mistake me-, I don'tLadvocate
the making of a man a pauper or the
pauperizing of his children. But it /:
not the millionaire who made ti1t
wealth. He did not make the ore OF
the coal or the gold that he dug from
the ground.
"The Montana copper mine owner
did not make his wealth. 1t belongs
in the abstract to the people who use
it and who produce the use which
makes it valuable.
II am with the president, then, to
tax heavily by graduated taxation
every man who dies leaving behind
him his millions, for I think that eX-
cessive wealth left to child is an in

Special to The Herald.
SAN BERNARDINO, Cal, Dec. 13.-
A Southern Pacific passenger train from
Los Angeles to Riverside, due in the
latter city at $40 tonight, was wrecked
six miles west of Cotton by colliding
with freight train which had taken
the siding at Ailsa.
About three trainmen and several
passengers received injuries, but none
are said to be serious.
The freight had fifty five cars, While
the siding has a capacity for but fifty.
1t was bound east and had orders to
take the siding to permit the Riverside
train, also eastbound, to pass.
The freight took the siding, but be-
ing too long, ran into the head of the
train on the main line at the east end,
closing the switch at the west end and
turning. the tail lights to show a clear
track, and failed to put out any sig
nails to warn the passengers that the
line was blocked at the other end of
the switch
Engineer Tom Norton saw clear track
signals and let his engine out full
speed, but when half way up the
switch saw that the end of the freight
projected out on the main line and that
a collision was inevitable.
He slapped on the emergency and
slowed down greatly when the crash
came, the passenger engine being de-
molshed and sent into the ditch and
several freight cars smashed.
Engineer Norton and his fireman
jumped, both being badly injured.
Conductor Tom Mellen was also in
jured. as was also Mail Clerk Brasch
of Riverside.
Several passengers were injured, but
their names were unobtainable tonight.
The wrecker and two physicians We're
sent out from Cotton and the injured
win be brought in this morning.

line turned turtle, burying them be.
meath it's weight.
The accident was caused principally
on account of the sudden illness of
Motorman j. G. Lamott, it is said
when the power was seven points on.
OF those injured Mrs. Russell suffered
the most seriously, her left leg being
broken, and it was necessary to take
her to the Clara Barton hospital for
treatment. Miss Edna Barnes, 2020
Magnolia avenue, was also severely in
jured, but it was possible for her to be
taken home in a carriage.
The car was bound south on Figue-
roa.
Shortly, before it reached Washing
ton avenue the motorman was seized
with sudden fainting SPELL He rang
the bell once and the conductor, d.
E. Smith, approached him to learn
what was the matter. The power was
then turned on two notches less than
the full amount. AS the car reached
the turn at Washington avenue the
motorman loosened his grip on the
handle and fell backward into the
arms of the conductor. while the car,
with no controlling hand, flew from the
tracks and crashed onto it's side on the
pavement ten feet from the curb on
Washington avenue.
Word was at once sent to the CEN
trail police station and help was dis
patched to aid the injured. Most of
the passengers managed to reach
freedom through the broken windows
and the door but it was necessary to
lift several to the ground.
Several of those injured suffered only
slight bruises and were able to go at
once to their homes. These refused to
make any statement as to the nature
of their injuries or to give their names.

PARIS, Dec. 13.-Today has been
marked by the total absence of any of
the sensational or dramatic incidents
anticipated in alarmist quarters in con-
nection with the execution of the law
of separation The parish priests every
where celebrated mass in the presence
of unusually large congregations, but
the actions of the authorities were con-
fined to noting infractions of the law
and citing the priests and Wears to ap-
pear before justices Of the peace.
Everywhere legal notices have been
served for the evacuation of the
ecclesiassic residences the seminaries,
etc.
Several of these buildings were
abandoned without further ado, but a
majority of the prelates announced
that they would depart only under
duress.
The cabinet is preparing measures to
be introduced in parliament tomorrow.
The net result of the uncompromising
attitude assumed by the vatican seems
to be that the clergy will lose it's pen
sions, IS, 300 of which have been granted
and gazetted since the beginning of this
year; that all aspirants to the priest
hood will be compelled to perform mill
tary service and that the taking over
the Episcopal mansions, rectories, semi
naries, ETC., by the state and the COM
munes will occur Immediately instead
of in December, 1907.
Issue Summonses
During the day summonses were is
nla fFnar
case Of So churches of Paris.
The ocitfial journal today announced
that only so of the Catholic cultural or
diocesan associations formed were
legal, while 902 Protestant and 7S Jew
ish associations conform with the law
Many suits have been begun in con-
nection with endowments for masses to
be celebrated for the repose of the souls
of the departed. About fifty seminarles
of the law are being closed.
During the day number of applica-
tions for permission to hold religious
meetings under the law of 1881 We're
made at the prefecture of police by
parishioners from all parts of Paris.
Reports from other cities say that SINH
lar applications were made.
1t was rumored during the afternoon
that the government is instigating this
course in order to insure keeping the
churches at the disposal OF the clergy
and forcing the latter into the position
of deliberately discontinuing public
worship.
No disorder was reported from the
department where the same procedure
adopted in Paris is being followed.
"WllI Yield to Force"
Notices TO evaeuate edifices belonging
to the state which were served on the
ecclesiastics and seminarists were
usually met with the response that
they would yield to force.

THE Hartman interests it is report

picturesque city of canals, arcades
and bridges-for $2,75O,OOO, with a view
of creating a Pacific Coney Island
there, and with even greater plans for
future years-to make it the worlds

This rumor repeated among men of
finance and industry who are in the
confidence of the Southern Pacific in

sistently, followed by so, many at
tempts to gain options on land in fa-
vored beach localities, that it is ac-
cepted as true by conservative men.

What Hartman Wants
Hartman wants the beach business.
Hartman wants to control all the
feeders of the Southern Pacific.
Hartman wants competition mar
rowed down to auxiliary companies
owing allegiance to Southern Pacific in

Hartman wants the showiest places
in gaining a foothold on producing ter
ritory, and Venice answers that re-
quirement.
When Mr.. Kinney laid out Venice he
had in mind the Chautauquas of the
east with their atmosphere OF culture,
of rest and of social life. This theory
applied in Southern California, did not
prove as successful as he hoped it
would. and the character of amuse-
ment the visitors sought bordered more
on the Coney Island style-the class
fostered by the Midway in Chicago. the
Pike in st. Louis and the Trail in Port
