Asks Gen. Funston to Withdraw
California Cadets.
A WATER FRONT
Reported People We're Slain for
Refusing to Help.
Two Men Killed for Insulting
Women Refugees.

San Francisco, April 21.-Chief of
Police Oman has determined to rec
ommend to General Funston and other
military and other authorities the
withdrawal of the University of Cali
fornia cadets and other military and
guards who have not shown the prop
er discrimination in handling the

mum Der of men were shot on the wa
ter front last night for refusing to
help fight the fire but this report has
not been verified.

park last night for insulting women
refugees.
Fire Tugs Are Busy.
The fire this morning at Z o'clock
was burning grain sheds on the water
front about half mile north of the
ferry station but was confined to a
comparatively small area and with the
work of fire boats on the bay and the
hremen on shore who are using salt
water pumped from the bay it is be-
heved it will be prevented from reach

NOW 10 BUILD FIRST
 ALL STEEL COACHES
Unburnaoie and Collision Proof Bag
 gage, Postal, Dining and Sleeping Cars Also Under Construction.

Philadelphia. Nov. 23.-The Penn sylvania railroad has called for bids for the construction of 100 all-steel non-infiammable passenger cars. This will be the first lot of such equipment to be made in accordance with the company's intention t9 build no more wooden cars. The decision on this point was hastened by the progress of the New York tunnel. through which the company will not run anything bu. absolutely fire-proof cars.
 Bids are to be asked of the American Car and Foundry company, the Stand ard Steel Car company. and the Pressed Steel Car company. one experimental passenger car has already been built by the Pennsylvania, but the new cars will embody many Improvements upon this one.
 The companys shops at Altoona will also complete now very shortly the alI- steel baggage car. which is in course of construction there, as we'll as an ail-steel postal car-the first to be con- structed by any railroad. This will be delivered about January 1st
 The Pennsylvania has agreed with the postoffice department to construct it's future mail cars of seventy feet in length. and suitable for use as either letter or paper cars. The present pay for railroad postal service is based upon a car of sixty feet in length so that in the new cars an extra ten feet will be provided for which the com pany will receive no compensation. The new cars will add greatly to the safety and convenience of railway mail op orators.
 The motive power department has also just approved designs for an all- steel dining car, and an experimental car of this character will be started at once. The Pullman company. at the instance of the Pennsylvania railroad. is at work upon an all-steel non-in fiammable sleeping car. Some 500 such cars must be completed and prepared for service by the time the New York terminal is ready for operation.
 It is the expectation of the com pany's motive power officials that the cars, which are now to be ordered. will be as completely fire-proof and collis- ion-proof as modern engineering sci ence has yet rendered possible.

mitted to statehood" He said he had lived in the capital of New Mexico for
 twenty-seven years and during that
 time he had never seen a man there
 from Arizona. He said that there was nothing in common between the two. and there was no question why they should be admitted as one state. He said that New Mexico had elected six | ty-six delegates at the last election
 who would meet in January and draft constitution which would be sub mitted to congress.
 Congressman Stephens of Texas re- | quested that he be allowed to submit a resolution favoring statehood for Ari- Zona, saying that he wanted to act as the friend in court of that territory,
 which had no representative in the congress.
 Congressman Stephens wanted to | make his resolution an amendment to ! the New Mexico resolution but Gov ernor Prince objected, saying that New Mexico had voted in favor of statehood while Arizona had voted against it. '1 don't blame Arizona for voting against it."
 'They are Americans there. while you have good many Mexicans in New Mexico" rejoined Congressman stephens. Congressman Stephens then submitted resolution worded simi- larly to the New Mexico resolution fla voring separate statehood for Arizona. and the resolution was accepted by the resolutions committee and adopted with the rest of the report
 An oregon delegate precipitated al lively debate by demanding that the resolution favoring the improvement of harbors on the Pacific coast be amend ed by emitting the provision that the depth should not be limited. The Texas delegation took issue with him and insisted that if an unreasonable request was made of congress by ask ing that the depth of the harbors be forty feet or fifty feet explanations from the congress would be necessary and action on this resolution be, de- layed. The resolution was adopted asl submitted
 George J. Kindel of Denver offered a resolution for classification of railroad rates so that the rate for long and short hauls would be proportionately the same.
 Thos. Knight of Missouri, a civil en- gineer widely known in the west, in- troduced the following resolution: That this congress appoint a standing committee to consider the problem of railroad transportation and its rela- tion to the International development | of the western states and territories and report upon the same to the next | session of this congress-
 The date of the next meeting of the congress will be decided upon by the executive committee and a local com mittee from Muskogee. The congress directed that each delegation select a | committee of three members to go to Washington when congress considers the rivers and harbors bill.
