Southern Pacific Company
Planning to do Away
With Heavy En-
gines in the
Sierra Me-
vadas

The officials of the Southern Pa
-cific Railroad Company are gather
ing information and data on elec-
trio motor cars manufactured by a
firm in Schenectady, N. Y, which
II successful, may be adopted by
the company for the use on the
heavy mountain grades. The
manufacturers claim the motors
are a success, and if they are
adopted by the Southern Pacific
Company they will revolutionize
Il e hauling Of heavy freight and
passenger trains over the steep
mountain grades.
One of the nov i features of tie
new motors cars is that the motors
are 80 constructed that the cars on
the descending grade will gener-
ate power to be used in pulling
heavy trains over the ascending
grades. The motor cars would
thus replace the heavy mountain
engines.
The Southern Pacific Company
is considering the proposition very
seriously, and will send officials
East within a short time to study
into the matter and investigate the
merits of the new cars, with a view
TO ascertaining whether or not they
would be practicable for the heavy
grades of the Sierra Nevada Noun
tains.
The new system if adopted will
be an exceedingly expensive one
to install. 1t will call for the ex-
penditare of a vast amount of
money, as no less than ten power
houses and distributing stations
will have to be established along
The line for the purpose Of hand
ling and transforming the electric
power. If the new system will
work as we'll as the manufacturers
claim, it will reduce the cost of op-
Grating heavy trains across the
mountain ranges.

Are incendiaries again at work In
Los Angeles?" is the question asked
by the fire department and police.
In the tailor shop on the ground floor
of the Blanchard Hall building on Hill
street near Second about $3.50 o'clock
last evening fire was discovered and
an alarm was promptly sounded.
The fire was raging in closet at the
rear OF the establishment when first
discovered. Immediately the depart
ment was notified. The fire fighters
found that the flames were fast gain
ing teadway.
Quick work saved the contents Of
the tailoring shop as well as the build
Ing.
Hundreds of fine art pieces are in
the building as we'll as many musical
instruments.
Quite number of people were in the
building at the outset. On arrival the
fire laddies found that 1t was not
necessary to alarm the occupants UP
stairs and they used the chemical ex-
tinguishers.
The department is at loss to know
the origin of the fire. Though very
conservative in discussing the fire the
officials gave the information that 1t
was undoubtedly incendiary.
1t is understood that detectives were
detailed on the case. The shop Is
owned by Harwitch Bros.

Crowded with theater-going passen-
gers, many of them women, a Lake
Side trolley car ran away down High
Point mountain almost into this city
tonight, skimming merrily by mine
breaches, over crossovers and bridges
and taking sharp curves at breakneck
speed without accident.
Conductor Will Kerchner avoided
the worst results of panic among the
terror stricken passengers by barring
the doors to prevent their jumping.
Just on the brow Of the hill before
reaching "Horse Shoe Curve" the troll
ley wheen left the wire.
Hard application of the brakes failed
to check the increasing speed Of the
car on the wet and slippery rails.
For nearly half mile the car thun-
dered along. the passengers expecting
every moment to be dashed to death.
Reaching the level Motorman LeahX.
who bravely stuck to his post, finally
managed to bring the car to a stop.

WORTHWHILE, Pa, March
There was a small race riot here today
when George Alexander, a negro, and
Thomas Mullen and George Hart, white
men, slit their fingers to compare the
quality of blood.
The three men had been drinking in
a saloon, and Alexander who has some
white blood in him, claimed he had as
much of 1t as either Of the white men,
and challenged them to cut their fin
gers and test their blood. In the argyll
sment Alexander drew revolver and
drove the men from the place.
n Mullen and Hart then procured re-
3lvolvCrs, and with a number of friends
started for the negro. Alexander saw
the white men coming, and fired on
them.
A number of shots were exchanged
on both sides, and when AleXander's
revolver was empty he started to run
toward Trenton. The police there had
been notified by telephone, and when
Alexander attempted to cross the river
to New Jersey he saw the officers
waiting for him. He returned to Nor
risville and surrendered to the con-
stables.
He was then placed under $500 bail
for court, charged with a recent afro
cious assault.

Nicholas Oberting, farmer living near

twisted the neck Of a maddened bull
till he brought the vicious animal to

back, while three badly frightened lads
made their escape from what had
seemed certain death. Mr. Oberting
acted upon the impulse of the moment
when he ran to the rescue of the boys,
but he knew well the disposition Of the
animal with which he was about to
contend, and but for his confidence in
his own strength might we'll have reck-
oned upon death as ille result of his
efforts to protect the children. Both
his wrists were broken.
