medium burned is the best brick for that
purpose, especially on a street where
traffic is light, and it sells much cheaper.
The market prices now for vitrified
brick are SIS thousand and for build

from the south sea offer peculiar

been made captives by the girls since
their arrival in San Francisco about
sixty days Ago..
w have every one had proposals or
marriage" one of the girls la%ughingly
remarked in the parlor of the Tacoma
hotel, but when the reporter saw a
love-making scene being enacted in
one OF the cozy corners of the parlor,
in which a tall, stately beauty with
languishing yes and dark complexion
and a young business man from San
Francisco, who accompanied the party
to Tacoma, figured, he was inclined to
believe that some CT these episodes are
more serious than the young ladies
would have him believe.
Imagine, We have attended nearly
forty receptions and parties since we
have been on the Pacific coast" muir

SANTA FE Is SCORED
BY JUDGE WHO FINES

Los Angeles, Cal. Nov. 11.-FederaI
Judge Wellborn, who fined the Santa
Fe railroad $330,000 for rebating, said
in his decision:
The Elkins law, under which the de-
PENDANT has been convicted, prescrlbes N
the punishment for Its violation a fine OF
not less than $1,000 nor more than $4,000.
For q quarter OF q century congress han
sought to SO regulate commerce between
the states and the territories tina the
agencies OF transportation engaged In
such shall be open to all ques-
tions and localities upon terms of equal
ity and to this end the statutes uniformly
and sternly forbid all sorts of d~iscrimina1
ton and favoritism.
The practices thus sought to be supA
pressed have been so widespread and ma
lignant and are SO fully within the COM
mon knowledge that they require no COM
ment at this time.
Had there been no mention by defend
ants counsel in the matter 7 could not.
Of course, be mindful Of the salient Fact
that the unlawful concessions made by
the defendant were small in mou
While the circumstances do not In any
way affect the abstract question Of nno-
cence or guilt, they are manifestly impor-
tant factors in determining the punish
ment to be inflicted and together with
other matters of consequence appearing in
the record. which L win not take time to
enumerate, forbid maximum penalty.
/ am satisfied that the evidence shows,
as was distinctly and forctbly pointed out
by Mr.. Lawler, the district attorney, that
the concessions were Intentionally and
Systematically made, and 1T Is hard to be-
lieve that the defendant did not know hat
they were unlawful departures from it's
established tariff.
The & of the court is that the
defendant be sentenced to pay a fine OF
5000 on each count Of the indictments.

ITALIAN LIEUTENANT
KILLS SELF IN TOMBS;

New York, Nov. 13.-Giovanni de
Chiichicia, who until he was compelled
to choose between owe and duty, was
n lieutenant in the Italian army, has
committed suicide al the Tombs prison.

According to the police records he fell
in love in Italy, and unable as an army
oHicei1to support his wife as he wished,
deserted and sought his fortune as a
cowboy in the American west. The
venture was not a success, and finally
leaving his wife in their new home he
came to New York to get a fresh start.
Penniless, he asked financial aid of
his brother. The meeting of the
brothers was not amicable, and at a
second interview Giovanni was alleged
to have peremptorily demanded first
$1,000 and then 1000 from the banker,
He exhibited a revolver, and. it was
charged, threatened his brothers life.
The banker wished to nave Giovanni
detained as insane, but the court would
not entertain this charge. But he was
held on a charge of carrying concealed
weapons.
In the Tombs he constantly grieved
for his girl wife.
When the doors were pened to per-
nit the prisoners to &C to the yard for
their daily exercise Giovanni stepped
quickly out upon the balcony and then
sprang upon the guard rail and love
head foremost to the floor. twenty-five
feet below. Several hundred prisoners

that astonishing changes occurred in

PERSONALITY CASE UP

London, o 11.-Hundreds of neople

ing of the famous bruce mystery case.
was resumed.

Thomas Charles bruce, Is charged with
perjury by his nephew, George Hollam-
by bruce. The charge is incidental to
Druce's claim to the estate of the Duke
Of Portland, which dates back to 1898.
At every step the case has been Wig
orously contested by the present duke
of Portland.
In brief this remarkable case centers
about the old question whether Thomas
Charles bruce, at one time owner Of
the famous Baker street bazaar, who
was said to ave died at 43, was or was
not the same person as the eccentric
duke of Portland, who died in 1873.
Robert Caldwell, OF Richmond, N. Y,
testified today la he knew the late
as T. G.. bruce, at Wellbeck abbey and
treated the luke at both places for dis
junction with the duke he arranged a
death and mock funeral of "Druce'' so
that his dual personality could be hid
den. He declared that at the dukes
request he employed a carpenter to
make a coffin, purchased 200 pounds OF
lead and put it in the Goffin himself.
The funeral was the following day.

well declared they were of the duke OF
