Actress Becomes Wild With Fear

Hoodooed.

MANKATO, Kan, May 25.-One of
the trucks of the special train carry
ing Sarah Bernhardt and her company
broke two miles from here this after
noon, delaying the train several hours.
No serious damage was done. A spe-
cial carrying a hundred members of
the Omaha Commercial Club on an
excursion through the State was fol-
lowing, but was tagged in time to pre-
vent a collision.
Bernhard was wild with excite
ment and ran back and forth between
her car and the locomotive. She de-
manded a new locomotive, even after
the derailed engine was replaced on
the tracks. She claimed the locomo-
tive was hoodooed and refused to per-
NIT her train to go ahead. The rail-
road was blocked several hours. The
tender of the locomotive of her train
ran along the ties half a mile, the
locomotive finally leaving the rails,
but remaining upright.

YOUNG GOULD TALKS
FREELY OF HIS TOUR
!. '. Of EUROPEAN CITIES
Makes Study Of the Municipal
Ownership Of Public
Utilities.
Says Question Now Mendces
Business Enterprises Of
Great Britain.

RICHMOND, Va, May 25.-Frank Jay
Gould reached here yesterday, and will be
in this vicinity the rest of the week in
specting his traction. iron and nlanufac-
turing interests. Gould talked freely Of
his trip abroad. Two subjects seemed
uppermost in his mind. municipal own
ership in Great Britain and the fine roads
in Paris" On the first subject Gould said:
Every one travelling abroad is brought
face to face more or less with problems Of
government and municipal ownership of
utilities. and very often much to their
discomfort. We are unable to study this
question at home. so must go to Great
Britain. where municipal ownership has
been so encouraged that it has become
menace to the commercial enterprises of
the nation. In the last ten years the ma
tional debt of Great Britain has doubled.
but the municipal debt has been quadru-
pied. Over half of this increase in mu-
nicipal debt has been expended on what
are called reproductive undertakings, such
as tramways. electric light plants. gas
works and slaughter houses. Now it would
seem fair to assume that this large
amount invested in enterprises which we
are told bring revenue to the municipal
tiles would have an effect in reducing the
rates of tax. but this is not the case. as
rates have more than doubled Undoubt-
edIy the socialist politician, through the
encouragement of municipal ownership.
attains what he desires. 1t Is fair to as
sumo that approximately between so and
so per cent of the community pay taxes
directly; the balance. the laboring classes
who live in tenements or rent rooms in
houses. ay-taxes indirectly. The social
list politician would lose much weight in
his argument for municipal ownership il
the laboring classes could be made to real
ize what large proportion of their rents
are taxes s
Motoring in France and on the Conti-
nent is a most delightful sport, and il gives
great opportunity for seeing the country
and learning the customs of the people
such as would be impossible by travelling
by rail-. I found the roads In France so
good that a speed of sixty to seventy miles
an hour can easily be maintained"

sional fees. in opening the case this af-
ternoon before Judge Newburger and a
jury, declared that the profits of the For

belonged TO one rich young man. Reginald
Vanderbilt The lawyer of this youth. he
said went to Delahunty when rumors
were abroad that the District Attorney
was about to seize the safe deposit box

Delahunty succeeded in getting $780, 900 for
them and received only $500 for his SER
vices. Mooney then told how his client

how the latter only a few hours later
skipped to Canada.

the Bidwell ranch, which has one of the
largest orchards in the State, will be al

mists still hung over the river Bidas-

.TEMbLOR OPENS
An OLD WELL
Starts Water Flowing
From an Abandoned
Artesian.
Strange Effect of Quake
in the City Of
San Jose.

SAN JOSE, May 25.-Ever since the
earthquake water has been running into
the cellar under the store of ]. p. Jar
man on South Second street. There has
been much investigation by workmen try
ing to locate the source of the water sup
ply. All water pipes in the vicinity were
tested and the street was dug up for
some distance away from the curbing.
1t was traced to the northeast corner of
space of six feet. Here the source of
the stream was located.
1t appears that over a quarter OF a
century ago when water was scarce on
the site of the Krumb building there
stood a. brewery. 1t was known as
Krumb's brewery An artesian well was
sunk and from this well a supply of wa
ter was secured. Later the well ceased to
flow and was abandoned A supply of
water was secured from the water COM
pany.
In the fire that destroyed the California
Theater on South Second street and. the
Lick House property and other business
buildings in that vicinity Krumbs brew
cry was swept away. The artesian well
was forgotten. 1t would have, remained
forgotten had it not been for the earth
quake of April IS. The quake started the
well flowing after it had been barren of
water for over twenty years.
The Krumb building belongs to G. A.
Marten and the latter may utilize the well
to supply water to the building. 1t is be-
lieved there is enough water in the well
to supply all the stores in the block.

discharge coal at Harsimus had TO Sc
cure the consent of the lessee.
Mr.. Boynburgh, a coal mine opera

CHARGE Of BRIBERY
IS MADE, AGAINST
NJ 4 RENO POLICEMAN
Accused Of Demanding and Ac-
cepting $50 From a
Bartender.
Threatened to Expose Violation
Of Law Unless Coin
Was Paid.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

RENO, May 25.-Frank T. Mefiey,
for many years a member of the
Reno Police Department. was arrest
ed yesterday on the charge of brib-
cry and is now under cash bail of
$4,000. 1t is alleged that Meff1ey
coerced barkeeper into giving him
the sum of $50 by threatening to ex-
pose the fact that the barkeeper was
selling whisky to Indians If the
money was not paid.
The matter was brought to light
yesterday in the District Court when
the proprietor of the saloon in which
the whisky is said to have been sold
testified that the sum of $50 should
be eliminated from his barkeeper's
bill, which was in litigation, as the
barkeeper had advanced that amount
of money to Officer Meff1ey in order
to prevent the latter from arresting
him for selling liquor to an Indian.
This is the third time that Mef-
fey has been arrested on the bribery
charge, but lack of evidence pre-
vented his conviction. District At
torney Craig, who is prosecuting the
case, says that he will secure convic-
ton this time.

and Bacteriologists, that has just

read showing that the new serum
component, that was discovered about
six months ago in the Pathological
Laboratory of Indiana University,
was discovered at about the same
time by workers in the Pasteur In
stitute OF Brussels, and in The Prus-

Indiana University, however. gains
exclusive credit for the discovery on
account of its promptness in publi-

appeared in the Journal of Infectious
Diseases early in the spring, while
the report of the European investi-
