.ELUDES BROTHER;
COMMITS SUICIDE
CRAZED MAN KILLS SELF ON
STAIRWAY
Stabs in Heart and Deep Gashes IL
Throat Result in Death-One
Witness Sees Tragedy in
Business Block

While temporarily insane because of
i'll health, Emil ]. Roller, a Nevada
mining man and brother of DR.. o. P.
Roller, a dentist with offices at 2211a
South Spring street, committed suicide
at 1:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon on
the landing leading to his brothers
office by stabbing himself in the heart
and cutting his throat in a CHASTITY
manner.
Choosing a time when his brother had
relaxed his Vigilant watch over his
actions Roller left the dental office and
descended the stairway to the first
landing.
Drawing long knife from his pocket,
the crazed man plunged it several times
close to his heart and then tried to
stumble up the stairs.
Witnesses Tragedy
But one witness of the suicide was
found-J c. Fl. WINS, with an office
in the Byrne building, who was going
up the narrow stairs to photographers
on the second floor
With cry of horror, WINS started
toward Roller and wrested the knife
from his grasp, but not in time to pre-
vent the successful attempt at suicide.
Roller, a powerfully built man, was
able to elude the grasp of the other
man ana tore at his throat in frenzied
way until he fell unconscious a few
minutes later.
The noise of the struggle attracted
the attention of tenants of the build
ing and several men rushed to the aid
of the dying man. but too late to be
of any assistance. The body was re-
moved to the dental office of DR.. Roller
and the police notified.
The stairs and the upper landing re-
sembled shambles, being covered with
blood.
Crowds Visit Scene
Scores of curious persons rushed up
the stairs with the morbid impulse of
gazing on the spot where the body had
so recently lain. AS soon as the police
arrived the crowd was driven back
and arrangements were made for re-
moving the body to the undertaking
establishment of Pierce Bros. The in
quest will be held this morning.
Relatives stated Roller was formerly
a prosperous miner and contractor al
Goldfeld and several months ago went
to live with his aged parents on their
ranch at Buena Park. 1t was said the
man showed signs of mental trouble
some weeks ago, following a long at
tack of illness, and only yesterday he
was brought to this city to be placed
in the care of his brother.
His widow is now in the east visiting
friends. The Roller family came to
this state from Waco, Tex. Funeral
arrangements will not be made until
after the inquest

BOTH SIDES CLAIM VICTORY
Strike Situation at San Pedro Re-
mains Unchanged-Two Schoon-
ers Sail From Port

The strike situation at San Pedro
remains about the same, neither side so
far making any concessions.
Fifteen more non-union men arrived
in the town yesterday and were put to
work. 1t is not likely more men will be
imported at the present, as the ship
owners say they have a sufficient force
to handle their business.
The lumber yards are still somewhat
crippled, as il is claimed the strike
breakers are inexperienced and not able
to turn out as much work as ex-
perienced hands.
Members of the union continue hope
full and say they will hold out until
their demands are granted.
The National City, non-union
schooner, sailed for Gray's Harbor yes
terday, and the Melville Dollar cleared
for Port Hartford Sunday. There have
been no new arrivals of non-union ves-

Extra Statesmen
YoUNGWoRTH is ACCUSED
United States Marshal Charged With
Pernicious Political Activity
Durinu Convention

United States Marshal Youngworth,
against whom charges of pernicious
political activity have been made, has
heightened his stay from Los Angeles,
1t is said, in hopes that the storm his
actions caused will blow over.
His hopes, however, will not be real
ized as the affidavits making direct
charges against the newly appointed
federal official last night were for
warded to Washington and it is con-
fidently expected that Marshal Young
worth, during the next two weeks, will
be called upon to explain.
Marshall Stimson, who made one of
the affidavits against Marshal Young
worth, said yesterday that he had
proved his case fully. He declared that
Youngworth not only actively partici-
pated in politics at the county con-
vention, but that he summoned we'll
known citizens to his official head
quarters by peremptorily written de-
mands for their appearance in the in
terest of the men whom Youngworth
was backing.
1t was stated yesterday at the United
States marshals office that Young
worth would return tomorrow.

CLARK TO BUILD TO THE NORTH
Salt Lake Railroad Will Force En-

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 27.-The Ex-
aminer says today:
wv. A. Clark of Montana has de-
cided to have a railroad entrance into
San Francisco. Senator Clark owns
the control of the San Pedro, Los An
geles & Salt Lake railroad From Las
Vegas, station on this road in Me-
vada, he is building a branch line 118
miles long north to Bullfrog. He will
complete his branch line into Bullfrog
next week.
From Sugar Pine, Cal, to Bullfrog
the distance is $50 miles. The Sierra
railway owns the road to Sugar Pine.
1t starts from Oakdale, in the San
Joaquin valley, where it connects with
the Southern Pacific, furnishing a
rail route from San Francisco to the
summit Sierras in Tuolumne county.
1T is this road Senator Clark in
tends to connect with on his way to

INQUEST DEVELOPS
NO CLEW TO MYSTERY
OFFICERS UNABLE TO TELL THE
CAUSE OF DEATH
Theory That Conductor L. o. sosey
Was Murdered Abandoned by Po-
lice, Who Find No Evidence to
Substantiate Claim

Although several detectives for the
Pacific Electric Railway company have
worked constantly since Thursday night
trying to ascertain the manner in which
Conductor l.. O. Sosey met his death
the mystery was not cleared UP yester-
day afternoon at the inquest held at
the undertaking establishment of Bresee
Bros After hearing the evidence the
jury brought in verdict of death from
unknown cause. E q,
While some still cling to the! theory
that the conductor was murdered
as he stood at the rear of the San
Gabriel car, 1t is believed by the police
that the man thrust his head from one
side of the platform and it came in
contact with telegraph pole.
From the fact that his money re-
mained in his pocket and that 1t would
have been improbable that any mur-
derer could have leaped off the car at
Schuetzen park at the rate of speed
maintained at that point it was brought
out at the inquest that 1t was probably
an accident.
The city detectives have ceased to
work on the case and it is believed the
sleuths employed by the Pacific Elec-
tric company will also drop what ap-
pears to be a fruitless inquiry.

RAILROAD RATE
LAW IN EFFECT
NOT ALL SCHEDULES HAVE
YET BEEN FILED
Extra Time to BE Granted to Roads
Showing Disposition to COM
ply With New ResuIa-
tlon Law
Bv Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Aug. 27-The new
railroad rate law which applies to all
railroads doing an interstate business
will go into effect at midnight tonight.
1t will be enforced by the interstate
commerce commission. According to
the new law the roads were to have
filed with the commission by midnight
all their tariffs and charges, showing
not only the full cost of transportation
from point to point, but also what
items for the making up of this cost.
From tomorrow on there can be no
extras but the shipper is expected
to be able to obtain in advance final
statement of the charge he has to
meet.
1t was stated that in fact not sin
gle company has been able to comply
fully with the provision of the law
requiring them to have all their
schedules on file by midnight. The
schedule of switching charges was the
most difficult of completion. 1t is said
that no road has been able to furnish
it in time to file as the law directed.
Schedules Not Filed
Under the law every company which
fails to complete its schedules may be
fined, but It is understood that the in
terstate commerce commission will
give additional time in every case
where road has given evidence of
serious intent to comply with the law.
To discuss this and other points a
committee representing the big eastern
railroads will go to Washington to-
morrow in order to meet the commits
sion.
This conference will be attended by
representatives of the anthracite coal
roads, who are anxious to obtain a
ruling from the commission on that
section of the law which prohibits a
railroad from carrying from state to
state any article manufactured, mined
or produced by it except for its own
use. This would include coal.
Benefit to Shippers
1t is expected that shippers will find
which requires the railroads to include
all charges of whatsoever nature in
their quoted rates. Heretofore a
shipper had had to figure for himself
on icing, refrigerator or elevator
charges, and the dozen or more other
incidentals, dickering with the sub
committees, which had a hand in trans
portation or care of his shipment
Now the railroad must do that and
the shipper meets but one charge and
deals with but one concern. All the
sources of side charges are consolidat-
ed and private cars, sidetracks, spurs,
terminals and elevators are made sub
ject to the law. The new law also re-
quires the railroads to establish a
uniform system of accounting and to
keep their books open for inspection
at all times by the expert accountants
of the commission.
This feature is expected to go far
toward aboishing the rebate evil of
the past. The railroad accountants
are now conferring in regard to the
uniform system of bookkeeping which,
however, will not go into effect until
June 1, next year.
In the meantime the commission has
put its own experts at work devising
a system which will be clear enough
to suit the commission.
