UNFORTUNATE MAN CAUSES A
CoMMoTIoN
Wealthy French Rancher Who Has
Been Guilty of Many Eccentricities
Is Sent to Patton After Break for
Liberty

After appearing before the board of
insanity commissioners in Judge Gibbs
department of the superior court on
four different occasions, Desiere Bern
ard a wealthy French rancher OF Los
Angeles, yesterday was ordered COM
mitted to the state asylum at Patton.
For several hours yesterday the little
Frenchman kept four big officers hard
at work attending him, and once he
escaped and dashed madly down the
street, only to be rearrested, handcuffed
and dragged back to the basement of
the county jail, where he yelled and
shrieked while a crowd of pedestrians
gathered about the jail windows.
Bernard owns a large ranch on the
Santa Monica line. The old man has
led lonely life and recently his neigh
bors began to notice that he was acting
in a peculiar manner. Often they
would meet him marching about his
fields at night, carrying an umbrella
over his head and making mad charges
at the sleepy bovines, which went
stampeding frantically away.
Boxes Nurses Ears
When an investigation was made
Bernard declared that he was suffering
with rheumatism and that he was about
TO go TO the hospital. Several days

attempted to give him treatment he as

Twice Bernard was taken before
Judge Gibbs and twice he was allowed
to return TO the hospital in the hope
that his tallucinations might be over
come.
But his actions became more peculiar
and yesterday for the third time he was
taken before Judge Gibbs. Bernard
played a clever game and by pretend
ing that he was all right for the third
time he was allowed TO return TO the
hospital Scarcely had he left the court
house and taken his seat In the hos
pital wagon than he gave yell and
jumped out of the wagon and dashed
away.

FILL FOURTEEN DICTIONARIES
Wabash President Tells of Intrcacies
of Tariff

That the simplification in methods Of
advocated by President Stickney of the
Chicago Great Western is highly de-
sirable, but that the plan proposed by
Mr.. Stickney is impra racticable, was the
opinion expressed by President F. A.
Delano of the Wabash in Chicago a
day or two ago.
Mr.. Delano questioned the accuracy
of the Great Western presidents as
sertion that large amounts of rebates
are being paid by the railways in the
form of refunds for oVercharges.
Mr.. Stickney's assertions regarding
the CompleXity and incomprehensibility
of railway tariffs are true. There are
not a dozen men on each system that
can read tariff intelligently," said Mr.
Delano. Although 1 have been in the
railroad business many years, l would
not attempt to make or quote a tariff
Schedules are complex, not because the
railroads desire them to be so but be-
cause conditions make them So If Mr..
Stickney knows any practicable method
of simplifying them the Wabash and
every other railroad would hail the an
nouncement of it with enthusiasm. He
says the rates of any ordinary railroad
could be printed in a book the size of
in effect on the Wabash make fourteen
volumes as big as Websters dictionary.
Repairing Costs Big Sum
II do not believe Mr.. Stickney's plan
to reprint the entire schedule every
time a rate is changed is practicable.
1t costs the Wabash $150,0O0 every time
it reprints all its tariffs. We would
not be likely to spend $15OOOO in order
to correct a single rate. The effect of
such a requirement would be that rates
seldom would be changed-that they
would become inelastic, and that would
be highly injurious to the country, for
rates should be elastic, so that they
will adapt themselves to constantly
changing commercial and industrial
conditions. They should not be toe
easy to change. but also they ought
not to be too hard to change. I
1T is quite true that the complexities
of schedules afford opportunities fol
rebating and other unlawful practices
but in view of the heavy penalties pro-
Vided for both railways and shippers
who violate the present law, and the
state of public sentiment, 1t is not
likely that anybody is going to take the
risk OF giving or receiving rebates.
Mr.. Knapp's suggestion in his inter
view that the number of supplements
to tariff that may be issued shall bt
limited to five is along the right line.

JEFFERY DENIES
AGREEMENT TALK
PACIFIC ROAD ARBITRAT0RS
NOT YET NAMED
Declares No Orders Have Been Sent
From New York and Only on
Minor Points Are Interests
Harmonized

According to a lengthy interview
from President E. r. Jeffery, of the
Western Pacific published recently
in an eastern paper, there has been
no agreement reached between the
Southern Pacific and the Western Pa
cifc railroads. According to Mr.. Jeff
erys statements in reference to the
dispatches from San Francisco, telling
of the settlement of disputes in regard
to the right of way between the two
roads, the matter upon which an agree
ment had been reached in no way
affected the dispute between the two
railroads regarding the ownership of
the Oakland water front.
No committee of arbitration, Mr..
Jeffery said had been selected.
The engineers in the field had come
to an arrangement regarding certain
crossings where the lines of the two
roads intersect and in regard to the
right of way at other points where the
roads adjoin each other, he said, but
that was all.
The report that the arrangement be-
tween the engineers of the two COM
panies was the result of orders sent
from New York by E. H. Hartman and
George j. Gould, Mr.. Jeffery said, was
entirely unfounded. No orders what
ever were sent from New York.
Mr.. Jeffery ntlmated that the South
ern Pacific interests had come to rec
ognize the certainty that the Western
Pacific would be constructed to the
Pacific coast, and that they were per-
haps less inclined now than in the past
TO offer obstruction.
This was due more TO adjustment
reached by the engineering forces OF
the two roads, he said than from any
understanding between Mr.. Hartman
and Mr.. Gould.
In respect to the report that IN,
western Pacific would be completed by
January 1, 1909, Mr.. Jeffery said thai
II was now expected that the roa(
will be completed by May, 1908. 1
is desired by the Gould interests tC
complete the road at the earliest posi-
BILE date.
The construction of the Western
Pacific. according TO Mr.. Jeffery's view
Of the case, is not likely to have any
serious effect upon the business Of tho
Southern Pacific. He said that by tho
time the Western Pacific is completed
