ADDITIONAL TAX
ON TROLLEY LINES
United Railroads to Pay $3.50
Monthly for Running Cars
in East Street
Bids for Construction of West
ern Pacific Pier Lower
Than Expected

Beginning March 1 the United Rail-
roads will pay $3.50 a month to the
board of state harbor commissioners
for, the privilege of operating its cars
in East street. In addition to paying
this sum the street railroad company
agrees to keep the roadway between
it's tracks in good repair This in
cludes the space within the loop at the
ferry, and will cost the railroad COM
pany, President Stafford estimates,
about $3.50 month more. Announce
ment of this arrangement was made at
yesterdays meeting of the harbor COM
missioners. The terms were decided
on at previous meeting between the
commissioners. Patrick Calhoun and
General Manager Black. The Presidio
and Ferries company will be taxed $50
a month with a similar arrangement
in the matter of street repair.
The bids were opened yesterday for
pier "a, which is to be built for the
Western Pacific on plans furnished by
the railroad company, and approved by
the harbor board. The lowest bid
was submitted by the Associated con-
tracing company. 1t was $167.730, or
$4,000 less than the cost as estimated
by the railroad company's engineer.
Under the law the Western Pacific
must make a public bid for the lease
to it's wharf. Secretary Thorpe was
directed to advertise the lease, which
will be awarded to whoever is willing
to pay rent in advance to the amount
of $167,730.
The commissioners also approved
plans for pier Sc, on the south side of
which will be a freight slip for the
belt railroad.

RENO BarriOs was assassinated nine
years ago, Estrada Cabrera, an OBJ
scure, half breed country lawyer, who
had risen to the vice presidency, sprang
into the saddle. With the army ne

there was no election. No president
was ever really elected in Guatemala
He calls congress together once year

When 1 first heard the stories of Ca

that they would be incredible to the
people of the States. To meet this
man with a record for tigerish feroc-
ity, he seems as gentle as a lamb. He
lives in small house across from the
presidential palace, which is itself too
exposed to the dangers of assassination.
Medium sized, of the swarthy Indian
type, only 45 years of age, dressed in
the conventional frock coat, Cabrera
passed the commonplaces of official
meetings with the most plausible Span
ish politeness. But he kept shifting
his eyes toward the door. When a
shadow appeared on the threshold he
shot an abrupt word of inquiry and you
felt that If the caller had not been one

him on his face and warned him to
tell everything or they would beat him
to death. He still answered that he
had nothing to tell, and they finally
let him go. His son. having more than
once been beaten into insensibility had
received altogether 800 lashes. Some
of these were given in the presence of
the minister Of foreign affairs of Qua
temala, who wished to see that the job
was well done At last accounts Mer-
dence was still in jail. He had, as yet,
refused to confess.
You must use a strong hand in deal
ing with assassins." Cabrera says.
LOANS ExToRTED BY
ARRESTS
But this justification for brutality
scarcely holds when all that is wanted
of the victims is money. A favorite
method is to put a prisoner of weak
physique In a cell and allow a big ne
gro to hammer him until he yields the
point. The richest man in Guatemala.
excepting Cabrera himself, who has
amassed a great fortune, is Salvador
Herrera, a land owner, who has been
in Jail eight times, on each occasion
for the purpose of forcing from him a
sum of money called a voluntary
loan"
One of Cabrera's cabinet remarked
that the only way, he feared that the
administration would be able to get
all of Herrera's fortune was to kill
him. This would be easy enough if he
were not a an,of so much prominence
that news Of his death would be widely
circulated outside of Guatemala
Your average owner Of small coffee
plantation is more easily disposed of.

debt, the plantations are passing into
the hands of the Germans, who own 60

have been to the cuartel and begged
for the bodies of their fathers and hus-
bands and seen the bodies go by. in
carts without being able to recover
them, the reason being that the bodies
were so lacerated by lashings that the
authorities did not wish them exposed.

But why don't these people sell their
property? Why don't they leave Qua
temala? you ask. They can not sell
their property without the consent of
Cabrera. They can not leave Guate-
mala except over jungle trails and then
only il undetected by the CONAN
dantes and spies. Cabrera fears that
The San Francisco call., 1909-02-26

if he let them go they would become
emigrados who would agitate against
him.
Then. why don't hundred of the
leading citizens band together and buy
arms and start a revolution? The first
answer is that the United States would
officially take the side of Cabrera, as
it always takes the side of whoever
Is in power, regardless of his nature;
and the second is that Cabrera has
them terrorized as he has every one
else. They suspect one another co-or-

For nine years President Ca

breastplate and dare not move out
of his palace for fear of assassina-
