LONDON, December 1.-The United

day and closed 3 cents to the pound
weaker at S520s. to the pound.
Ambassador Robert H. Bingham's
statement that the United States had
established an equalization fund sim
liar to that of the British, was much
discussed but apparently with little ef-
feet as the early selling weakened the
dollar exchange rate from s5.2o19 to
the pound to s5.25H.
Covering orders brought a recovery
of cents which was lost again when
the American gold price was raised to
S34.0l fine ounce, but renewed sup
port helped a strengthening to the
close.

The decline in total loadings as COM
pared with the preceding week was due,

the usual seasonal decline in traffic. The
large increases over 1882 and 1881 were
due to the fact that the corresponding
weeks in the two preceding years con-
tanned the Thanksgiving holiday. Load

Train Men and
 Railway to Clash
(Continued from Page 1)

The bill also provides that any freight train of less than 50 cars shall have a crew of one engineer. one flremen, one conductor and two brakemen and that any freight train over fifty cars in length shall have one engineer, a fireman, 8 conductor and three brakemen. It also requires that any local freight train doing switching work or unloading of freight shall be manned by an en- gineer, fireman. conductor and three brakemen.
 The bill goes on to include To- comotives used in railroad yards for switching purposes and so forth. The bill provides penalties against the railroads which call for fines running from $100 to $1,000.
 It is understood that the bill is aimed at certain economy steps al- lcgedly taken by the railroad which resulted in cutting down the crews on the trains. Therefore, the fight over the bill is expected to be a very interesting one.
 The car limit bill makes it un- lawful to run train over the rails consisting of more than seventy freight cars. It also limits the length of a passenger train to 14 cars. The penalty for violation of this bill Is also from $100 up to $1,000. The measure was intro duced by Senator Shea, also.

Four Places Were
 Damaged By Fire

shortly before o'clock, but after the actual fire had been extinguish- ed firemen turned their attention to draining the flooded sections of the building. A bumper was set in- to action and within a short time fire officials, insurance adjustors and repairmen were on the Scene carrying on their inspections. The second floor of Sugenheimer's and it's beauty parlor were expected to be placed in condition for business by noon hour. On the first floor big holes were chopped in the flooring and some of the display cases and stock were ruined by the force of water hurled into the place.
 While 1t was apparent that the fire originated in the basement of the Sugenheimer store fire officials were unable to determine the cause. The fire was discovered by Abe Frost, g. window cleaner, who visited the store at 6 o'clock this morning and found everything in perfect order. When he entered the store he claims to have heard a muffied report. As he glanced into the cellar he observed the flames spreading in all directions. Boxes and paper provided fuel for the blaze. Frost running to Box 75 at the corner of Bank and Gen. ter streets registered the alarm.
 Bremen attacking the blaze from Bank street and Burrall court poured tons of water into the blazing cellar. The flames were quickly smothered, but smoke con- tinued to pour out of the place and the adjoining buildings for nearly an hour later.
 The cellars of Davis & Yves, MichaePs and the Irving Shoe store were soon flooded, causing loss of merchandise and equipment stored there. Water apparently ruined some of the valuable dis play cases, fixtures and carpets in Sugenheimer's, but the owner ex- pected that on the completion of the fire officials and insurance ad- justors' work business would be resumed at once. The main floor will be in need of repairs. Fire Marshal D. J. Lahey and Captain William Russell were on the scene during the progress of the fire and had their investigation well under way before the signal was passed to the various companies to return to their respective stations.
 The fire occurring between z and o'clock caused g. necessary de-

 Between sobs, the tall, griZzled gardener stammered out the story of his escape in 1908, which at the time created world wide amaze ment. For two years he and ten companions made preparations, piecing together fragments of wood into a crude raft. They slipped away under cover of darkness.
 For days they drifted aimlessly on the open sea, their naked bodies exposed to the tropical sun. Their clothing they used for sails.
 We son ran out of food" Des- iderio recounted. Ut was a floating hell. Some of the negroes with us couldn't stand the thirst and jumped to the sharks. We finally struck an island and found fresh water. Some of them stayed on the Island. The rest of us started out again."
 Only one companion and himself remained when they eventually said. He made his way to New York where he was arrested as 8 robbery suspect but was cleared He came to California 12 years ago.
