bers OF the local Mill & Smeltermen's

CITY Of PANAMA
PROBABLY SAFE
Officials of the Pacific Mail
Company Have No Fears
for the Vessel.

San Francisco, Jan. 5.-The life RATS
which drifted ashore at Waddell beach
on the coast north of Santa Cruz. and
which were supposed to have come
from the Pacific Mail liner City of Pa
mama, were inspected this afternoon by
a representative OF the Pacific Mail
Steamship company. and identified as
belonging to that steamer. The find
ing of the RATS with casks of water and
crackers last night, caused consider
able apprehension here that the City
of Panama had foundered at sea. and
during the day conflicting reports were
received that a steamer could be seen
on the rocks near Pigeon Point. All
day long people from Santa Cruz and
newspaper men from this city have
scanned the sea in that vicinity with
the aid of strong glasses. Late this
evening report was received that the
lighthouse keeper at Pidgeon Point
stating that there is no steamer on the
rocks in that vicinity. in fact. that
there are no rocks where the vessel was
reported to have been seen.
Rats Washed Overheard.
The story is gaining ground that the
life RATS were washed overheard from
the City Of Panama by high sea- This
is strengthened by the fact that it is
known that the steamer encountered
strong gales and heavy seas after leav-
ing this port last Monday afternoon.
The life RATS. which are carried on
the hurricane deck, had been unlashed
while in port for inspection by the gov
eminent officials before the steamers
departure. 1t is presumed that they
had not been relashed to the deck when
the vessel sailed, and when boarded by
seas several hours after turning south
from the Golden Deck, the RATS We're
easily carried away.
AS to the presence Of water and some
| provisions on the RATS, it is explained
that the law requires that RATS and
| lifeboats on steamers must ALWAYS have
these aboard in order TO be ready for
instant launching.
Officials Not Alarmed,
At the offices OF the Pacific Mail no
fears are entertained for the safety OF
the liner.
r. p. Schwerin. general manager of
the company, believes that the RATS
were washed overheard during the gale
that blew when the steamer sailed. and
stated that he expected to hear of bcr
arrival at MaZatlan tomorrow or Mon
day.
Mr.. Schwerin pointed out that the
captain of the Standard Oil steamer
Maverick reported that he exchanged
New Years greetings with the CITY of
Panama on Jan. 1, fifty miles south of
where the RATS were found The Civ
of Panama signalled that all was we'll
on board.

All the Plans Aarriman's.


All the facts of record as to the dec
laration Of dividends last August by the
Union and Southern Paciflcs were
brought out The dividends were de-
clared on Aug. 10. but were not an
nounced until two days later. 1t was at
Mir. Harriman's suggestion that the div
idends were declared. 1t was also at
his suggestion that the announcement
was deferred He explained that a
number OF the directors of the compa-
mics were rot present and he thought it
noting but fair that they should be
advised before the matter became pub
lie property.
The executive committees Of the
Union and Southern Pacifics were given
authority to announce the dividends 1T
such time as they deemed proper. Mr..
Hartman was and is chairman of both
committees. The committees also We're
authorized to designate the funds from
which the dividends should be paid.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1907-01-06
Statement Promised.

What these funds were could not be
learned today. but the commission was
promised a complete statement.
From the minutes of the Oregon
Snort Line executive committee it was
disclosed that in March 1908, Mr. Har-
riman sold to William Rockefeller 800
600 shares of the Oregon Short Lines
holdings Of Southern Pacific common
stock. A letter from Mr.. Rockefeller
referring TO their agreement" as to the
stock was next placed in evidence. Mr..
Rockefeller, in November, 1903, asked
Mr.. Hartman to take back the stock
al the time instead of waiting for the
expiration of the agreement in the
spring of 1904 The minutes of the
Short Line showed that the stock was
bought back from Mr.. Rockefeller. and
it was further shown that he was paid
a commission of $1s7, 500. Today's wit
nesses knew nothing concerning the
agreement between Mr.. Rockefeller and
Mr.. Hartman.
A subpoena was issued for Mr.
Rockefeller's appearance at such time
as the commission shall designate. Mr..
Hartman, when he is able to testify
will also be asked regarding this agree
ment.

NO WORD RECEIVED
AS TO IN INTERCHANGE
Local Freight Situation Re-
mains as Quiet AS Can
Be imagined.
NEITHER ROAD SAYS WORD
EXPECTED THE VANIA

WHEN 1T CONSIDERS RIGHT
TIME HAS COME.

Members of the Commercial club
are becoming restless, as both tho c..

freight interchange proposition. which
has been the source of so much con-
flict in the past few months.
Not once since the Indiana railroad
commission requested that the inter-
change be granted, have the club
members heard from the c., C. e L..
officials in regard to the matter. Nei-
ther have the c., C. & L officials or
those of the Pennsylvania got their
heads together on the proposition.
Another thing which is keeping
Commercial club men guessing is the
attitude. of the Pennsylvania on the
matter. When the Indiana commits
sion first ruled that the interchange
would have to be made, the Pennsyl-
vania railroad announced its intention
of contesting the decision, and since
that time nothing has been heard one
way or another in regard to the mat
ter. The only way in which the Ponn-
sylvania could contest the ruling
would be to file an injunction against
the proceedings when they were or
dered. Just what they intend to do in
regard to the matter is not known
and if local Pennsylvania precedents
are followed the big corporation will
make no move until the last minute.
Some members of the club have ex-
pressed the opinion that the Pennsyl-
81
ces make known its decision in the
matter until the work begins on the
new freight house and the ground oy-
er which the spur between the two
railroads will be run. is cleared. The

WEST SIDE CLAIMS
GET FRESH SUPPORT
Trueblood Fire Added Arqu-
ment to Need for West
Side Hose House.
TOO LONG RESPONDING.
TERRIFIC RAIN STORM SAID TO
BE THE ONLY THING THAT
SAVED ANY PART OF THE
STRUCTURE.

The burning of the home or rror f.
2. Trueblood, Wednesday, is another
evidence. so the people of West Rich
mond claim, of the necessity of the city
locating a company of the fire depart
ment on the west side of the river.
After the blaze at the Trueblood
home had been discovered. ii was fully
twenty-five minutes before the arrival
of the first hose company This long
delay was not altogether the fault of
the long distance, the nearest hose
company had to travel before reaching
the fire. An alarm was sent in as
soon as the fire was discovered. but
the electrical storm had put the wires
out of service, so the bells did not ring.
However, when telephone alarm was
sent in to No , fire house at the city
building, it was found that the compa-
nies located there had responded to an
alarm sent in from the Auto Inn. It
was then necessary to telephone the
alarm to No. | hose house on North
Eighth street. Owing to the heavy con-
dition of the roads it took this compa-
ny at least ten minutes to reach the
scene.
Had there been a hose company i'm
West Richmond, it is claimed this
company would not have been called
upon to answer the East Main street
alarm. and telephone alarm from the
Trueblood home would have brought
the company to the scene of the blaze
in three or four minutes. In other
words. West Richmond residents ar
que, had there been a West Richmond
fire company. the Trueblood home
would have escaped with nothing more
serious than part of the roof being de-
stroyed The terrific rain storm that
the lightning bolt which
ignited the Trueblood home is said to
be the only thing that kept the entire
from being consumed by the
blaze.

HEATING PLANT WILL
Be BUILT At ONCE
Johanning Given the EarIham
College Contract.
AMOUNT INVOLVED $4,000.

At the recent meeting of the build
ing committee at Earlham college it
was definitly decided to so ahead with
the new heating plant which has been
contemplated for some time. In ac-
cordance with this decision the board
let the contract for the construction
of the heating plant at $4,000, to
Charles Fl. Johanning. At first roth
ing will be constructed other than the
heating plant, as the college author
tiles have not enough money to in
stall the electric light plant but this
will probably be placed before the
close of the next school year which
begins in September. The new heat
ing plant will heat Earlham, Lindley,
Perry and Bundy halls and also the
library building.

KING LEOPOLD WILL
LOSE CONGO POWER
Beginning of the End of His
Rule Over This Rich
Country at Hand.
BELGIUM TO TAKE REINS.
AN AGREEMENT HAS BEEN
REACHED BETWEEN THE BEL
GIAN AND THE CONGO GOV
ERNMENTS.

Brussels. July 25-The close of King
annexation of the Congo TO Belgium
and to retain the personal sovereignty
over this rich and extensive African
state. is foreshadowed in the agree
ment reached ON July II, between the
Belgian and the Congo governments,
celebrating the terms upon which the
Congo Free state will pass into the
possession of Belgium.
This transfer will mark an import
ant epoch for the Congo. as heretofore
the entire conduct of affairs. civil and
military, had been under the personal
direction of King Leopold and cabi-
net of Congo officers entirely separate
from and independent of Belgium,
where the new regime will make the
Belgian government. instead OF the
king. individually responsible for the
conduct of Congo affairs. The British
and American governments have favor
sibility on Belgium. as the British Off
cials have made the point that there
was great difficulty in dealing with
the Congo. in view of its anomalous po-
sition, as personal dependency of the
King, whereas foreign governments
could deal with it through the usual
channels if the Belgian gov
ernment assumed responsibility for its
administration.
No difficulty about the treaty of au-
nexation itself is anticipated. The
real fight will follow upon the terms of
the colonial law.
The indications are that the whole
subject will be thrashed out in Parlia-
ment during the fall and that January
or February. 1898. will see the Congo
Free State a colony of Belgium instead
of personal dependency of King Leo
pold.

PLANS BOTH FOR THE OUTSIDE
AND INSIDE.

There has been much said as to

cept The new plans call for biz
lard and pool room in the basement
of the new Y NJ. G.. A. building also

Some church members have main
tanned that pool and billiards should
not be allowed in the association
building stating that it would teach
the boys something that might later
lead them into saloons and pool rooms
where the games are played.
AS practically all of the Y. NJ. c. AS
in the country have pool and billiards
in connection with the other features,
there is large coterie of people who
maintain that long ago these would
have been banished had they been as
detrimental as some Richmond people
appear to think they are. A support
er of the pool and billiard proposition
expressed himself by saying that
there is no reason why the best game
on earth should be turned in to the
devils" hands exclusively. He said
that there are many young men and
boys in Richmond who play pool and
ike the game SO we'll that they will
go to the saloons and play it. They
have already acquired the habit, he
said. and should there be good tables
in the association building where the
games could be played free, all these
would be attracted there, taking them
out of the bad environment of the
pool rooms and saloons.
The new plans also call for bowl
ing alley and this too has been spoken
against by some, but without effect.
