OF the Government

WASHINGTON, March 1o.-Although
a brief "on the part of the appellants"
was already on file in the supreme
court Of the United States. a second
group OF legal talent of the Standard
oil company today presented TO the
court an independent defense of that
organiza tiOn.

son Of Philadelphia, John G. Milburn
and Frank l. Crawford of New York
The court will hear oral arguments
Monday on the decree of the circuit
court dissolving the Standard oil COM
pany.
The eastern counsel went more fully
into the facts" in controversy than did
the Pittsburg attorneys. Particular
stress is laid on the claim in the brief
that the record shows no unreasonable
advance in the average prices of the
Standard oil.
The governments method of esti-
mating the profits the Standard oil has
been making is denounced in the brief
as -'unsound in law" and as contrary
to business principles and the facts of
human experience.
This is the explanation given of what
is designated as the remarkable sue

CITY LACKS TITLE

Bakersfield Trustees Fail to

or Pay for Paving
Property Owners Now Ask That
Money on Hand Be Used
for Repairs
Especial Dispatch to The Call

BAKERSFIELD. March 10.-Members
of the board of trade who are seekin &
to induce the city trustees TO repave
Nineteenth street with the money that
was left as a surplus from the sewer
fund have discovered that not single
street in the city has ever been for
mally accepted or dedicated 10 public
Nuse. There were records of street
work being done and accepted by the
city, ordinances placing the curb lines
and fixing the grade of certain streets,
but beyond that there is nothing to
show that the streets belong to Bakers
field.
Several years ago the property own
ers along Nineteenth street and along
Chester avenue paved the street and
complied with the requirements of law.
but one council after another neglected
to recognize the claims of these own
ers. In the meantime the pavements
have been worn out and new ones are
needed. To accept these streets now
will place the burden of repairs on
the city and necessitates the imme-
diate expenditure of approximately
$4,000.
For the last nine years the Power.
Traction and Light company has held
a franchise for a street railway over
the two streets mentioned. but the
question now raised is whether or not
this franchise is valid, since it was
granted over streets to which the city
had no technical title
The president OF the Power, Traction
and Light company is C. n. Beale of
San Francisco, and the local head is
Harry Jastro. When questioned about
the matter the latter said that he nad
known of the situation for nearly a
month, but had been advised that there
could be no question as to the legality
of the company's franchise.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC
OFFICERS PROMOTED
1errin, Calvin and Mccormick
Become Vice Presidents of
Railroad
Judge LOvett's Announcement OF
important Changes Comes
as Surprise

Three important promotions were
Pacific company William F. Herrin,
e. Z. Calvin and E. o. Nee ormick were
appointed vice presidents of that COM
pany, all with offices in San Francisco.
The announcement came as surprise
to nearly every one connected with the
Southern Pacific company. Probably
the only persons aware that the pro-
motions were pending were Calvin and
Herrin.
According to the official circular of
Judge Robert S. Lovett, president OF
the Southern Pacific, issued in New
York yesterday, Herrin is to have su-
pervision of the legal department. the
land department, the corporate organi-
cations of the Pacific system and the
financial business of the company in
California. and will report to the presi-
dent, Robert S. Lovett.
CALvIN'S NEW WORK
Calvin will have supervision of the
transportation, construction, purchas-
ing, pension and hospital departments
appertaining to the lines south of Ash
land, Ore, and west of Sparks, New.
and the Rio Grande river (El Paso.
Tex.l }, and will report TO the director of
maintenance and operation, Julius
kruttschnitt
Mccormick, who will move his office
to this city. will have supervision of
the traffic of the Pacific system, en-
bracing the lines in California. Arizona,
New Mexico, Nevada Utah and Oregon,
and will report to the director of traf-
nc j. c. Stubs.
Calvin retains the authority he has
held for several years and his juris-
diction is extended considerably. Her.
rim takes over the charge of the land
department, entirely new duties, and
besides becoming vice president is the
only one of the three reporting directly
TO the president. Mccormick, who has
been assistant traffic director, with Of
flee in Chicago, returns to this city. He
viii have supervision of all traffic be-
sides being one of the vice presidents
1t is presumed the appointments will
become effective about April /.
MANY OFFICIALS HERE
Never since the control of the South
ern Pacific changed hands have there
been so many high officials of the COM
pany with offices in San Francisco.
Considerable protest was heard from
all sides when the head offices of the
company were removed to Chicago, but
with the return of Mccormick San
Francisco becomes nearly the head Of
flee of the company. Just who will
succeed Mccormick in Chicago is not
known. The announcement of the pro-
motions came so suddenly that the reg
ular gossips along railorad row have
had no time to make any predictions.
Several weeks ago, when it was ru
mored that a dissolution of the Union
Pacific and Southern Pacific was prob
able, rumor was current that several
important changes were TO be made,
but when the merger hearing began,
those rumors were dispelled, it being
understood that efforts to Quash the
complaint had been futile.

ONLY ONE WAY TO RETAIN
GOOD HEALTH, SAYS COOPER

L. T. Cooper's theory regarding the
human stomach is rapidly becoming a
topic of universal discussion. Cooper
claims that the human stomach has be-
come chronically deranged by modern
conditions. and that sickness generally
is the result.
In a recent interview, while introduc-
ing his medicine in a leading city, Mr..
Cooper said: There is just one way.
in my opinion, to maintain general
health, and that is by building up the
digestive organs. The vast majority OF
Americans today have weak. habby. dis
tended stomachS. This has been caused
by many generations of overlooking
and lack of exercise, until today the en-
tire civilized race is affected. This is
the true cause of most of the i'll health
of today. Little can be done 10 relieve
it until the stomach is once more
brought back to normal conditions
Il am successful because my prepara-
tion puts the stomach in sound condi-
tion, and. as I maintain, this is the only
way to secure general and permanent
good health
Among many prominent people who
have recently become converted to
Cooper's theory is Mrs. Margaret Lam
bert, Isl Broad street, New Haven.
Conn, who says:
For more than five years suffered
from the worst form of stomach trou-
Bile. from which ] could get no relief
whatever. Ny case baf1ed all the doc
tors. They gave me no hope at all. and
finally said my only chance lay in an
operation 1 experienced the utmost
agony while undergoing an examina-
ton 1 dreaded the surgeons knife
and was willing TO do any thing to avoid
it.
Il was attracted by an advertisement
of the Cooper remedies and decided to
give Cooper's New Discovery a trial.

ments annuIled. In the superior court
it was held that the examination was
technically irregular, though no ques-
tion OF merits was considered in the
decision. An appeal was taken, and
the appointments have stood pending
its determination.
The appointment of the new battalion
chiefs was made by the commission
without suggestion of competitive
civil service test for applicants. One
order sufflced to accomplish both the
removals and new appointments.
None Of the members of the fire COM
mission could be found last night, but
criticism of their late afternoon action
was heard in many quarters.
1t was stated by some of the battal-
ion chiefs who suffered by the order
that an examination of the records of
the department would show that the
fire loss during the last year, while
they have been in office. was $3.50, 900
less than in any previous year since
the city attained large size. The ac-
tion, they declared was a direct blow
at the efficiency of the department.
sHAUGHNESSY MAY GO
The action of the fire commission
suggests the probability of the removal
of Chief Engineer Shaughnessy, as it is
known that he does not stand high in
the regard of the present administra-
tion. Shaughnessy's removal was eX-
pected to the amoing the first changes
made by the administration, but power
full influences were exercised to retain
him at the head of the department.
The fact that the insurance interests
were strongly behind him was large
factor in causing his retention for the
time being.
Shaughnessy, however, is in no bet
ter grace than he was two months ago.
The feeling against him is still strong
in administration circles. and the
wholesale reorganization begun yester-
day is expected TO include him before
the end.
