New York Central Says No Rebates
Were Allowed Standard Oil.

NEW YORK, May 4-Replying to
the statement by Commissioner Gar
field that the New York Central Rail-
road refused to discuss its rates
within New York State President
Newman of that company said today:
I'VE refused TO issue our State rate
10 the Bureau of Corporations of the
Department of Commerce and Labor
because the department has 1urisdic-
ton only over interstate commerce.
We cheerfully gave the department ac-
cess to our interstate commerce books.
just as we would give the proper State
authorities information as to our
State rate if it was called for. AS to
the New York Central being the only
company which refused to supplv
Commissioner Garfield with the state
rate attention should be called to the
fact that the New York Central Is tba
only large State railroad in the conn
try.
Il do not think that the Standard
oil Company received rebates from any
railroad. Naturally it is always on tbe
lookout for the most favorable rates
and by reason of its compact orsani-

Jurisdiction Will Be Con-
ferred Upon Circuit
Judges.
ALI Factions Are Ready
to Support Proposed
Amendment.

WASHINGTON, May 4. What
amounts practically to an agreement
on the existing differences concerning
the court review feature OF the rate bill
has been reached by Senate conferences
extending over the last week, and Sem
ator Allison will offer an amendment
comforting Jurisdiction upon the Circuit
courts to hear and determine suits
brought against the Interstate Com
merce Commission. The amendment
will not suggest to the courts whether
their judicial review shall be confined
to external questions or whether it
shall be an inquiry into the justness
or reasonableness of the rates fixed by
the commission.
Senator Long who made the principal
legal arguments for the House bill, and
Senators Aldrich and Crane, the lead
ers in the movement seeking an amend
ment providing for a broad court re-
view expressed themselves today as fa-
vorihg the amendment and both fac
tions are agreed that the compromise is
satisfactory TO the President.
Undoubtedly this means that OBJ
stacles to the speedy passage of the
measure have been removed
Whether the conservatives or the
radicals have won a victory is a ques-
tion that is not disturbing either fac
ton. The agreement in a measure is
regarded as political II is believed
that practically the Republican strength
OF the Senate will be cast for the bill.
whereas under the long continued es-
arrangement it was considered that it
would require minority Endorsement
to pass the bill and the Democratic
party would be in position to take
full credit for it.

GLEASON READS MANY
REPORTS OF HIS DEATH
Police Captain Who Had Narrow Es-
cape During Fire Is Again
at Old Post.

Captain Gleason of the Police De-
partment has completed the reading
OF his own obituaries in the Eastern
papers. and has been on duty since
last Saturday. While lighting the
flames on the morning OF the fire he
was blown up by dynamite and was
reported killed within the hour.
When the cOnfagratiOn was at its
fiercest at Jessie and Second streets
Captain Gleason was in the thick OF
the flames attempting to fight back
the fire. premature explosion of a
charge which had been laid to bring
down one of the buildings threw him
into the air and back again among
the crowd, unconscious and bleeding.
Into an ambulance he was rushed
Immediately to the Mechanics Pavil-
ion. which was serving as tempo
rary emergency hospital There the
physicians declared that he could
hardly live half an hour. as he had a
badly fractured skull When the Pa
vilion was doomed by the flames and
the patients hurriedly removed Cap
tain Gleason was taken out for one
of the dead
However his strong constitution
came to his support and brought him
through the awful experience. He
was able to be up and around last
Saturday. and though his wounds
trouble him some ne declares with
Mark Twain that The reports OF his
death are very much exaggerated.

TESTING THE GAS MAINS
AND THEIR CONNECTIONS
How the Work Is to Be Carried on so
That There Shall Be Abso-
lutte Security,

The employees OF the gas company
are still busy disconnecting meters.
BY the end of the week the mains
will be tested by the vacuum test and
where break is discovered it will be
at once traced and repaired.
Next Monday there will be started
a house to house test of the interior
pipes. First, the vacuum test will be
used, and if there is any doubt the
more delicate mercury test which is
said to be absolutely secure, will be
utilized. 1t is expected that it will
take month to complete these tests.
Wherever a leak in the interior is de-
tected it will have to be completely
repaired before the gas will be turned
on.
1t is said that in some sections of
the city the mains are in first-class
condition and IL the interior connec-
tions are in perfect order the gas may
be turned on within six weeks

MONEY ALREADY BEING
FORWARDED TO SETTLE
CLAIMS OF INSURANCE

Money In great volumes is already
being forwarded here by the insurance
companies of the United States and
Europe to meet the immense losses
they will have to pay. Many of the
companies have decided to reimburse
their clients with spot cash at their Of
fees or with drafts as good as coin
here and thus avoid the delay that
issued on Eastern or foreign money
centers.
The companies are not waiting for
the losses to be adjusted before having
the wherewithal handy to make good.
but are taking time by the forelock and
hurrying the coin to the front, where
it is being anxiously awaited and where
It is most needed. Every company in
terested realizes that the eyes Of the
entire world are steadily watching its
policy in settling losses in the great
double disaster of earthquake and fire,
and that the course tho company pur-
sues may make or mar it's future.
The great losses are TO be taken up
and adjusted first. This method was
decided upon at the meeting OF the fire
underwriters adjusting bureau held in
Reed Hall. Oakland, yesterday. The
general adjusting committee has al
ready commenced its work on the Mo-
nadnock building. Other big struc-
lures. such as the Palace Hotel. the

seems premature to assume that our
resources will prove inadequate and
especially that the occasion demands
Introduction of untried methods of
finance which may be found to be IL
legal or otherwise impracticable.
I'VE have noticed with much graft
fication the newly awakened spirit of
cooperation that since the fire has
actuated our citizens in many lines
of activity. A realization of inter-
ests in common has been developed,
which we can all wish should con-
tinue and increase. Much good can
be accomplished through meetings,
conferences and committees: some
matters can be handled in no other
way. But appreciating that the
wealth of the city is the sum of that
of its individual constituent members
the committee believes that the main
thing, after all, is for every one to
concentrate his energy upon his own
particular industry or occupation, con-
slider and work out his problems and
re-establish and develop his own
business. That is to say, if each Of
us in the community will work dill
gently and understandingly in his own
field general plans of comprehensive
finance can follow in their natural Sc
auence. Let us direct our efforts to-
ward normal order, not away from
it."

St. Francis Hotel and buildings of like
pattern will be examined as speedily
as the adjusters can perform the du-
ties cut out for them.
The Fire Underwriters Adjusting
Bureau has approved the committee Of
fifteen appointed yesterday by the ex-
ecutive committee of the organization
TO adjust losses H. F. Atwood. secre-
tary of the Rochester German Company
of Rochester, N Y, who is regarded
as one of the abIest insurance men in
the United States, is chairman Of the
adjusting committee. This committee
reported to the underwriters bureau
yesterday morning and outlined the
plan to be followed in the preliminary
work.
In the afternoon the committee held
an executive session, at which, accord
ing to Chairman Atwood. the principal
matter discussed was the form to be
used in adjusting losses. These. it
is said, will be similar in many respects
to the forms used in settling the losses
in the Baltimore eOnfiagration OF two
years ago.
But eight of the adjusting commit
tee were present at the afternoon meet
ing and this fact was somewhat dis
appointing to Chairman Atwood, who
would have been better pleased with
q fuller attendance. There will be no
meeting Of the insurance men in Oak
land today.

LOSS IN CITY OF ROSES
WILL AMOUNT TO MILLIONS
Alleged Estimate by Governor Pardee
Fixing Damage at S147. 900 Is
RidicIlled

SANTA ROSA, May 4.@The pub
lished statement in a metropolitan
paper this morning quoting Governor
Pardee as saying that the losses in
Santa Rosa by reason of the earth
quake and fire which followed would
not amount to but $147 900 has caused
storm of criticism. A large number
of the thinking people will not believe
for moment that the Governor ever
made any such statement. The fact
of the matter is that there We're two
structures destroyed by the earth
quake which did not catch fire, which
alone represent an Investment of
100000. These buildings are the new
Masonic building and the Athaneum,
both three-story structures, the former
stone, and the latter brick and steel.
The loss by fire and earthquake in
this city at the very lowest estimate
is from S3,000,000 to s4.000,0o0. The
cost of clearing the debris from the
three main streets-Third, Fourth and
Fifth-with the seven cross streets in
the business section of the city will
amount TO not less than $150,000. The
city and county buildings are all gone
and it will require fully $1,000.000 to
replace these structures and fully fur
nish them for the various officers.
The State Home for the Feeble
minded at Eldredge has suffered loss
of about $150.000 Stoneman Hall,
the south wing, two-story brick oc-
cupied by the epileptic girls, was
wrecked and Bently Hall. the hall oc-
cupied by the boys, was badly caved
in. The Manse occupied by the cpl
leptic boys is uninhabitable and the
boys have been removed 90 the Manor
houses, the first building erected on
the grounds years ago. The new hos
pital escaped with light damage and
the Lux Cottage, given BY the widow
of the late William Lux, escaped. The
sun corridor of the boys cottage was
completely demolished.
The funeral of Commissary Sergeant
R. G. Alkire of company G of Peta-
luna, who died Sunday as the result
of exposure while here on duty, was
! held this afternoon at Petaluma. His
company was allowed to return home
for the services. 1t was accompanied
by forty members of company Z OF
this city. The school children of this
city sent large donation of flowers
for the soldier boy who had come to

In Message to Congress Executive Declares Corpora

pany, said that their examination of
the message and report had necessarily
been hurried one, and that they
should at u later date make full an
swer to their shareholders. Mean
while they made the following state
ment:
In the Presidents effort to secure
the passage OF an amendment enlarg-
ing the powers of the Interstate Com
merce Commission and equitable rail-
way rates we have precisely the same
interest that any good citizen has-no
more and no less. Regarding his crit
icisms upon the management of the
railways, or his structures upon any
acts of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission we have neither responsibility
nor concern. When, however, he or
Commissioners Garfield attacks the
Standard Oil Company ana uses its
methods of doing business as an object
lesson for the purpose of promoting
his views, We protest.
1T may be frankly stated at the
outset that the Standard C1l Company
has at all times within the limits of
fairness and with due regard to the
laws, endeayored to secure the most
advantageous freight rates and routes
possible. There will be no denial of
this fact on our part. The question
is whether we have at any point vio-
lated the laws or the proprieties.
The present inquiry grew out of a
resolution adopted by Congress year
ago, on motion of Mr.. Campbell of
Kansas, instructing the Secretary Of
Commerce and Labor to investigate the
oil business as carried on in this coun-
try. We welcomed the investigation.
When Commissioner Garfield in the
discharge of his duty, visited our Of
fees, he and his experts were given
free access TO cur books and the full
est opportunity to ascertain the man
ner in which our business was con-
Quoted. Frank disclosures Of all our
methods were made and every criti-
cism offered by him was met with =
candid and painstaking answer.
80 conscious were We of our recti-
tude that We repeatedly iinportuned
Mr. Garfield TO make public the condi-
tions existing in Kansas, but he re-
fused. We proposed Ourselves to an
swer some OF the unfair criticisms
upon the subject, but refrained on Mr..
Garfield's advice and on his assurance
that his report would present the case
fairly 1t turned out that SO far as
Kansas WAS concerned the State au-
thorities abandoned their attack
.'One does not care TO handy words
with the President of the United
States. Ii is not easy to differentiate
between Mr. Roosevelt, President, and
MIR. Roosevelt, the individual. He has
given of his advice most generously on
every subject from the size OF our fam
lilies To the mistakes of Federal
Judges, and some error is inevitable
now and then to the most conserya-
tive man.
I'VE say fatty that any statement
that the Standard Oil has or is now
knowingly engaged in practices which
are unlawful. is alike untruthful and
unjust

NAPA, May 4.-The California
Northwestern Railroad, which oper-

Rosa and Ukiah, was seriously dam

drawbridge across Petaluma Greek,
between Napa and San Rafael, was
wrecked, the machinery of the draw

tie near the drawbridge was also
wrecked by the earthquake shock.
No trains ran between Napa and
San Rafael for two weeks after the
earthquake and traffic to Santa Rosa
was also interferred with. The draw
bridge and trestle have been tempor-
arily repaired and today traffic be-
tween Napa and San Rafael was re
