GERMANY GAINS ON
GREAT BRITAIN
Marked Increase in Popula-
ton, Wealth and Industry
in Realm of the Kaiser

The comparative figures OF an Eng
lish writer on the German and British
nations are forwarded by Consul z. T.
Liefeld from Freiburg and are sum-
married. as follows:
The German population is growing
at the rate OF over 100000 per annun.
while the British population IS in
creasins by only 100000 yearly. The
Government OF the United Kingdom
numbered 37,400.00o persons in their
islands in 1890 and 43.290.000 in 1905.
Germany's gain was much greater. the
advance being from 49.400.00O TO 6O.-
100000. Yet, notwithstanding this
enormous increase IN the number OF
people Cor whom work had TO be pro-
vided. German industry has expanded
at such rate that laborers are scarce
The vitality OF the German nation is
shown by the increased net surplus OF
births over deaths per thousand from
III in 1890 TO las in 1904, whereas IN
England it was 10.7 in 1890 and only
III IN 1904.
The gross receipts OF the German
railways. which. up to the twentieth
century, We're always well below those
of the British. have now risen above
them. The aggregate shows s3S4453,-
500 for the United Kingdom and $685.
5S9.500 for Germany in 1890 and S545,-
048,000 for the United Kingdom and
9.945.0O0 for Germany in 1904. The
prosperity Of the German railways is
shown by the fact that their profits
rose from 2.2 per cent in 1890 TO per
cent in 1904. whereas for fifteen years
the ordinary stock OF British railways
has steadily declined. the fall having
been from as in 1890 TO 80 In 1904.
when all allowance IS made for
'watered stock Between 1890 and 1904
5000 miles OF railway were built IN
Germany. In the same period England
built only 1900 miles OF line
I'm coal consumption German in
dustry is fast overtakins the British.
The figures for coal mined In the re-
spective countries show 154. 1000. 900
tons for the United Kingdom. and
Se.000,0 600 for Germany In 1890: and
z3e, ,0o0. 900 tons for the United King
dom and 17S.000.0O0 for Germany in
1905. These figures are still more
significant when il is remembered that
in England more coal is used BY the
mercantile marine and burned in
houses than in Germany.
In the manufacture OF iron. where
for a century England held the prf-
macy, Germany has forged well ahead
England produced in 1890 S.031 900
tons; Germany. 1855. 900 tons IN 1905
England produced 9,746.0OO tons: Ger
many. 10.s75. 600 tons With steel it is
even worse FOR Great Britain.
In wealth Germany has rapidly ad-
vanced. as shown by the increased de-
posits in the Prussian Savings Bank.
which rose from s79S.106.0 900 fifteen
years ago to 1.SSS. 10000 last year.
against the advance in England from
s540.1s1. 500 to s973. 400. 600. Those pay
ing the Prussian income tax have risen
from per cent of the population in
1880 10 IL per cent in 1905. showing
1890, 900 people with large incomes in
Prussia alone. Another sign of Ger
manys growing wealth Is that the new
issues of capital in the past seven
years were s4136.5 525. 900 against s4.-
623, ,175 900 in England"

Ill LUCK PURSUES
THIS POLICEMAN.
Officer Thompson of Oak
land, Just Out of Hospi-
tai, Is Accidentally Shot
HIS TROUBLES MANY

OAKLAND, Nov. 10.--With merciless
persistency misfortune seems to follow
Fenton G. Thompson, an Oakland po-
liceman, who shot himself in the right
leg today.
The accident was the result of a
brother officers command. Thompson
was one of the guards of the newly
established chaingang. He was riding
on the patrol wagon with the driver,
and Policeman Ed Crossman was in the
rear guarding the prisoners. They
were taking the gang back to the City
Prison for luncheon.
Get outi' cried Crossman to one OF
the prisoners, and Thompson thought
the gang had made a sudden break for
liberty. Rife in hand. he jumped from
the wagon, his pistol caught on the rail
of the seat and was discharged. The
bullet entered the calf of his right leg,
plowed its way through the muscles
for about four inches, made it's exit
and was buried IN the middle toe of
Thompson's right foot Later it was
found in the policeman's shoe He was
taken to the Receiving Hospital for
temporary treatment by Steward
Borchert and was removed 10 the
Providence Hospital later.
Thompson returned to duty only a
week ago. He had been in the hos
pital for several months and was sup
posed to be dying of tuberculosis. Mis-
fortune followed him, even before he
fought the dread disease in the hos
pital. Before that time he was ac-
cused of insulting the young daughter
of John sBreen, whose wife recently
sued him for divorce. and, although the
policeman proved the charges false. he
was forced to make a hard fight be-
fore the Police Commissioners and in
the Police Court.
1T never rains that 1t doesn't pour.
said Thompson as he lay on the operat-
ing table of the Receiving Hospital.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE GALL.

CLAYTON, Nov. 1o.-Miss Margaret
Bell, daughter of Portland capitalist,
narrowly escaped death in runaway
down the sides of Mount Diablo yes
terday afternoon. In company with G..
@. Clarken of Martinez, Miss Bell had
driven to Mitchells Canyon, where she
intended doing some mountain sketch
ing. While driving over particularly
rough spot the horse shied at some OBJ
ject in the roadway and bolted, break
ing the bride and throwing the bit
from its mouth.
For three hundred yards or more
Miss Bell and Clarken clung to the
seat, while the buggy careened from
one side TO the other of the narrow
road and threatened to overturn. While
rounding sharp curve at the foot of
the grade the off wheels of the buggy
struck an embankment and hurled the
occupants to the ground. The rig
turned turtle and was demolished.
while the terrified horse dashed
through the bed of a creek, dragging
the splintered shafts and buggy at its
heels.
Miss Bell and Clarken were rendered
unconscious by the fall and were found
by passing farmer, who summoned
assistance from this city They were
badly cut and bruised, and Miss Bell
is thought to have been internally in
