BUYING OUT OUR
POWER PLANTS.
Eastern Capitalists Taking
Up Valuable Properties
From Tacoma to Visalia

It was rumored on the street yester-
day that the Eastern people" who had
purchased the Reno Power, Light and
Water Company and the Truckee River
General Company and the American
River Electric Company were really e.
H. Hartman. This, however, is fatty
denied by General Manager Calvin. He
said he believed the purchase was made
by Eastern men for an investment, and
that Hartman was not in the deal.
This is one of the many electric
plants that have been purchased by
Eastern men. and the explanation is
made that the success which has at
tended the operation of electric lines
on the coast has impelled Eastern men
to invest money in them.
One big group of capitalists from
the cities of New York, Philadelphia
and Boston have bought power plants
in Seattle, Spokane, Walla Walla, Ia
coma, Portland, Salem and Eugene.
Then there is also another group of
capitalists who have purchased plants
along the. American River and Feather
River, and in the Sierra Nevada, back
of Fresno and Visalia. In this group
H. E. Huntington figures largely, but
it is not believed that he is interested
in the Reno project.
William Crocker denied yesterday
that he had an interest in the Nevada
Transit Company, which operates a
line between Reno and Sparks We'll
lington Gregg, however, who is in the
Croker National Bank. is a director
and stockholder in the electric line
company, and in speaking of the road
he said that the local men who have
purchased it did SO because they be-
lieved it good investment.
The new purchasers are going to
improve the road ana it is understood
that they will build several extensions.

Bringing Of Welching Insur-
ers First Into American
Courts Is Recommended

Attorney L. A. Redman. who has been
icy-Holders' League. recommends that
suits shall not be Instituted abroad
against the welching German and
Austrian insurance companies until 1t
is established that Judgments obtained
here are worthless abroad To deter
mine that fact, he says, would not fake
much time.
The reciprocity rule prevails in
ooth Germany and Austria Four
Judges of the Supreme Court of the
United States have held that the Fed
eral courts of the United States are
bound to give full faith and credence
TO the judgments of the courts of other
countries Five Judges in the same case
held that foreign judgment for money
In favor of citizen of the foreign
country against citizen of this coun-
try. rendered by a competent court
having jurisdiction of the cause and of
the parties, upon due allegations and
proofs and opportunity to defend ac-
cording to the course of a civilized
Jurisprudence, is prima facie evidence
at least in a suit upon it in this coun-
try and is conclusive on the merits. un-
less impeached on special ground, or
shown by international law or the
comfy of this country not entitled to
full faith and credit
Following the views expressed in
this decision the United States Cir
cult Court in New York recently gave
full faith and credit to a Judgment
against a citizen of this country rem
dered in Italy, although in the opinion
of the court the judgment was grossly
unjust.
1t does not seem reasonable" saws
Attorney Redman, that foreign insur-
ance companies may do business in this
country under our laws, take the
premiums of our people in payment of
assumed obligations, and when these
obligations accrue defy the Judgments
of our courts rendered upon contracts
made and performable in this State. If
our courts, we'll as the courts of
Germany and Austria, are open to the
policy-holders, there can be no doubt
in my opinion as to which forum should
be selected. 1t is possible that the
German and Austrian courts will take
view more favorable to the insurer
than under the decisions of our courts
should be taken, such construction be-
ing in measure due to the fact that
In Europe, where the premiums are
smaller than here, a policy has not as
wide scope as in this country
Moreover, two of these companies
have earthquake clauses in their poll
cies, and it may be that it will be held
abroad that the burden of proof as to
the origin Of the fire is upon the in
sured. Nor is trial by jury permitted
in Germany in civil cases. The cost
of litigation, too, will be greater
abroad than here, and security for
costs, which includes the attorneys
fees of the companies provided they
should be successful, must be given by
the plaintiffs. 1t seems to me there
fore that the advisable thing to do is
not to hastily lunge into litigation
abroad. but to first ascertain from the
best available sources and by the best
means open to us whether or not it Is
necessary to commence actions abroad,
in the meantime protecting ourselves
as far as we can by means of the legal
machinery provided by our own coun-
try

Tales Of Husband
Denied by Mrs.
ZuSS1nan.

That youth cannot mate with age
was the theme of the old story retold
yesterday morning In Judge Troutt's
court by Mrs. Annie Zussman, the
petite and pretty 21-year-old wife of
Dr. Samuel Zussman, when she took
the witness stand to give her version
of the incidents on which her hus-
band has charged her with cruelty and
based his suit for divorce. AS she
told of the troubles leading to the sep
aration of her husband and herself in
October 1905, after two months of
married life, the story of her disap-
pointed love became apparent
The girl wife made 1T plain yester-
day that she expected to be petted and
humored in girlish whims, but that
she suffered a sore disappointment. The
difference in ages, the doctor being 43,
and VIEWPOINTS of the girl of 20 and
the physician could not be reconciled.
Mrs. Aussman found the petting
strangely lacking, while her husband
became az Dyed at certain OF her ways.
And so the trouble began.
Mrs. Zussman denied stoutly the al
legations made by DR.. zussman that
she had never had liking for his L
year-old son by former marriage,
claiming, on the contrary, that she had
always loved the boy, and had kissed
him on the night when she left the
home for the last time She explained
the story of crackers prepared with
pepper for the boy by stating that
cookies and large slices of wedding
cake had been disappearing rapidly
from the drawer in which they were
kept, and that, believing her stepson to
be responsible, she originated the pep
per cure and warned the lad of what
she had done She denied having
used the other ingredients in the mix
ture. as attributed to her by her hus-
band and the housekeeper of their
home.
! Mrs zussman also explained the
cause of removing her wedding ring as
due to the fact that.it chafed her finger
and had become strangely tarnished
She denied having called her stepson
names or having ordered him away
from the table at any time except
when she asked her husband to do
so or force the boy to apologize to
her for sauciness. She declared that
on the night when she left her husband
she had been i'll with rheumatism and
had asked him to assist her, but he had
refused Finally, she says, he tele-
phoned for DIR. Hirschkowitz. 1t was
then that she dressed and left the home,
after hearing her husband appeal to
DR. Hirschkowitz to take hand in the
matter and the latter's refusal to inter-
fere She admits slapping her hus-
band once as she passed him in the
doorway.
The last of the testimony was taken
yesterday, and the case has been con-
tinued until one week from Friday
for argument.

EXPERT ATTACKED
BY AN EXPERT.
Eisenschimmel Is Angered
and Asperses Character
of One of His Rivals


There's man named KytkS who is
ready for that sort OF business" said
Carl Eisenschimmel. handwriting ex-
pert, on the witness stand in the United
States District Court yesterday, in the
trial of William Christopher Raisch for
issuing fraudulent certificates of natur-
alization.
Eisenschimmel's startling expression
of opinion was brought out by Attorney
1-lortridges cross-examination as TO
his relationship to the case. Eisen-
schimmel had just finished testifying
for the prosecution to the effect that
the fraudulent certificates Of natural
ization signed William c. Raisch" were
all written by the same person Judge
de Haven had refused to allow any ex-
emplars of the genuine handwriting of
the defendant Raisch to be introduced
in evidence, and the prosecution had to
content itself with the experts opinion
that all the fraudulent certificates In
evidence had been written by the same
person.
Shortridge. on the cross-examination
asked Mr. Eisenschimmel whether he
had not gone to Shortridge's office be-
fore he had been engaged by the prose-
cution. The witness blazed up at the
insinuation by the lawyers manner and
said that Shortridge had offered to en-
ploy him for his testimony without
examination of the papers in the case.
To that invitation the witness said
tnat he replied that he was not in that
kind of business.
You told me-" he added that you
got kytka for s100. and told you that
kytka did that kind OF business. but
that I did not"
The witness admitted that he had
once gone under the name OF Meyers
as boyish freak.
A remarkable feature of the trial was
the testimony of Secret Service Agents
Richard H. Taylor and William West
colt. Taylor desired to correct state
ment made by him on the preceding
day to the effect that he did not re-
member whether he had asked Raisch
to write his signature. He remembered
now that Raisch. at his request. had
written his signature several times, but
that Taylor had lost them. Westcott
swore that he had advised Raisch to
tell the truth, and that Ralsch had
asked and convict myself2"

mony to prove that the Handwriting

DAYLIGHT ROBBERY
ON CITY FRONT.
Negro Cook Is Held Up
Near Pacific Mail Dock
and Robbed of Sum of $50

Mark Moore. a negro cook employed
by the Pullman Car Company and re-
siding at 1925 Peralta street, Oak
land, was held up and robbed about 9
o'clock yesterday morning within a
block of the Pacific Mail dock and not
ten PAGES from the always busy main
roadway around the water front.
Thomas Phillips, a fireman employed
on the steamer Greenwood. was ar
rested and identified by Moore as one
of the robbers. Phillips is charged
with highway robbery
Moore was on his way to the Pacific
Mail wharf to see a friend on the
steamer Peru who had promised to
bring him a Panama hat. AS he
neared the Mail dock he was accosted
he says, by Phillips. who asked him
where he was going. He told him
and Phillips. pointing to a driveway
between two piles of lumber, suggested
that way as shortcut.
Moore, who was little in doubt
as to the right way, followed Phil
lips suggestion. He had gone only a
few feet. however, when he was seized
from behind. Phillips, he says, and
several other men unknown to him
were his assailants Several of the
thugs held him while one of them
searched his pockets, taking therefrom
$55 in gold. After taking his money
they handled him roughly but he es-
capped without serious hurt.
He reported the robbery to the po-
lice and later pointed out Phillips to
Detective d. G. Bell. At the Harbor
Police Station a $40 goldpiece was
found in Phillips pocket. Inquiry on
board the steamer Greenwood revealed
the fact that shortly before the rob-
berry Phillips had complained of being
broke" and had secured some to-
bacco on. credit,

EARcIcAL "JUSTICE."

Members of the mob which destroy ed the negro quarter in Springfield, Clio. have been arrested, tried, con- yicted and sentenced. At the time the rioting was going Oil and buildings were burning. the outbreak of mOp violence was considered a rather serl- ous thing The militia was called out to con. rol the mob and was finally successful. The punishment of the rioters was demanded. Eight boys were arrested. They were tried be- fore jury said to have been made up of leading business men and man. ufact1rers. The verdict of guilty was accompanied by a recommends tion that the court treat the malefact- CTS with extreme clemency. This the court did. While denouncing the rec cemmendation to mercy as an out rage. the judge appears to have had a saving appreciation of the humor of the situation. He fined the cul' nrits a dollar. Then he remitted the fines. The criminals are said to have laughed as they left the court room.
 The Graphic calls attention to the fact that this happened "up north. Fad there been such miserable mis- carriage of justice in any of the southern states, the south would have been held up to public ridicule, it's conrts to contempt and it's people to scorn. But as it happened at Spring field, Ohio. it will probably receive enlv passing notice at the hands et the northern press.
