SUPREME COURT
PUTS PREMIUM
ON NEGLIGENCE
It Is Not a Crime if
Eyes Are Closed.
REMISSNESS IS PROFITABLE
Judge Daingerfield Forced to Instruct
a Jury in Keeping With It
and a Disagreement
P-esults.
A recent decision handed down by tne
Supreme Court. placing a premium on" neg
ligence and making "remissness" on the
part of corporation employes a profitable
matter lor corporations, has prevented
the recovery of damages from the South
ern racific Company by the widow and
aged parents of Christen P. Bladt, who
was crushed to death beneath the wheels
of a locomotive at Estudillo Station, near
San Lorenzo, In the early morning of
July 29 of last year. On the morning of
the accident Bladt started for Oakland to
sell a load of fruit. Believing that no
train was near, he started to cross the
track, and the next instant he was hurled
unconscious to the dust, injured unto
death. Some time later he was removed
to his home, but died shortly after he
arrived th.-re.
His widow, Helene K. Bladt, and dece
dent's parents filed suit against the cor
poration to recover $20,000 damages for his
death. In the complaint it was set forth
that the corporation employes failed to
sound a warning whistle or ring the bell
when approaching the crossing, and that
after the train had hurled Bladt to the
roadside they refused to go back and ren
der him aid. A general denial on the part
of the Souther Pacific joined the issues,
and the case went to trial before Judge
Daingerfleld. Considerable evidence was
produced substantiating plaintiffs' claim
that the corporation employes were re
sponsible by reason of negligence for the
accident, while on the other hand the en
gineer and fireman of the locomotive tes
tified that the whistle was blown at the
proper place and that the bell was sound
ed to warn any one approaching the
track. After this testimony was in At
torney Peter F. Dunne, who represented
the company, examined the engineer and
fireman at length on the point as to
whether or not they saw the vehicle oc
cupied by Bladt approaching the track.
Both testified positively that they did not,
and the reason for the lengthy examina
tion on this point became clear when the
instructions Wc-re presented to the tin,
as among them was that based on the Su
preme Court decision making miss
ness" on the part of employes Stable
to the corporation. This decision was
handed down in the case of Herbert vs.
the Southern Pacific Company, and holds
that if the negligence or the injured party
puts him in peril and his peril is noticed
by the defendant twhich in this case re
fers to the defendant's agents, the engin
eer and fireman), and by the exercise of
ordinary diligence the defendant could
have avoided the injury, and lid not, the
defendant will be held liable for the in
jury. This rule is based, however, con
tinues the court, on the theory that the
defendant did know the plaintiff's peril,
and is not based on the proposition that
the defendant would have discovered the
peril of plaintiff but for remissness on his
part. "Under this rule," the Supreme
Court decision concludes, "the defendant
Is not liable because he ought to have
known the peril of plaintiff." As an in
struction based on this decision was de
manded by the company's attorney. Judge
Daingerfield had no alternative but to give
1. The jury filed out. and after being out
all night was unable to agree and was
discharged.
Many attorneys in the court spoke of
the danger to the people and the protec
tion to the company in the decision above. I
All a locomotive engineer must do now to i
protect the company is to whistle out a
•juarter of a mile from a station or a
.rossing. open his throttle and turn his
back: If he leaves a trail of maimed and
lead in hi.s wake his employers are not li- j
ible because he ought, to have attended to
luty ar.d known the peril of the dead and
injured! which he did not. and in his ig
norance of their peril, in his "remissness^"
ne has given his employers protection
and saved them financial loss. Had he
oeen negligent with open eyes the com
aany would be forced to pay, in Supreme
Court logic, but negligence wit! closed
.yes covers a multitude of sins and saves
i multitude of dollars.
THEGBAID PUNCHED SLADKY.

When all parties left the courtroom In

'Who are you looking at?" and Theobald
replied, "At you." Then Theobald re
;orted by asking Sladky, "Who are you
ooking at?" and Sladky gave the same

|The New V' rk Herald of September 24
published an article exposing Advani arid
characterizing him as a swindler and for
ger. He went to Ottawa in the beginning
of September, where he registered ... the
Russell House, the leading hotel there,
and soon made lots of friends in society.
He was introduced to Lord Mime, the
Governor General of Canada, and got an
introduction to the Bank of British North
America, where he explained that he had
deposited in the National Bank of India,
in London, £&»>. to his credit. He got a
lot of valuable jewelry from a leading
Jewelry firm, and the proprietor of the
Russell House cashed all his checks with
out demur. Then he disappeared after
getting a letter of introduction to the
branch of the Bank of British North
America here.
• Advani turned up in New York and soon
made the acquaintance of the Hindoo
merchants there and secured from Roos
tarn Beramji $6.. in cash and several hun
dred dollars' worth of goods. After leav
ing New York he went to Chicago, where

came engaged to Miss Virginia Tyler Hud
son, a reporter on the Evening News. She
is a daughter of the late Rev. D. L. Hud-
Eon of Madison, Ind., and a gran.;.:
ter of the late ex-Piesident Tyler. Among
his effects is a letter from her dated
"Palmer House, September 21," in which
she speaks of how highly honored she
felt at the prospect of being the wife of
such a distinguished man. He bought a
diamond engagement ring for her from
C. D. Peacock, a jeweler in Chicago, and
gave in payment a draft on the Bank of
British North America, Ottawa. He was
arrested on a dispatch from Ottawa for
sending a "fake" draft, but as the Cana
dian authorities did not care to be at the
coat of extraditing him he was released
from custody. That finished his career
in Chicago. "Prior to his exposure, how
ever, he had opened an account with the
Commercial National Bank in Chicago on
the same representations he had made to
the Ottawa Bank, and received a check
book from the bank.
Chief Lees saw the article in the New
York Herald and made up his mind to
watch for the swindler If he should come
this way. Captain Seymour learned
Tuesday that Advani had arrived here
on the steamer Umatilla from Victoria
the previous day, and at once notified the
Chief. They went to the various banks
to warn them to be on their guard and
learned from the local manager of the
Bank of British North America that Ad
vani had already been there, but they had
taken from him the letter of introduction
which he had obtained by fraud and the
check book. They ascertained that Advani
had called at the Bank of California with
two ladies whom he met on the Umatilla,
to each of whom he had given a draft for
$300 on the Chicago bank, to deposit the
drafts for collection. He also deposited
[a draft in his own name for $1000 for
collection and wanted an advance of $50
on it, but was refused. He claimed he
had lost his letters of introduction and
check books. He went to another bank
and deposited a draft for 1600 for collec
tion and got an advance of $25. He also
went to Thomas Cook & Son, the tourist
agents, to purchase a ticket for Los An
geles and gave them a draft for $600, ex
pecting to get the change when he called
• yesterday, hut he was too late. Besides
' all this he had deposited with the Lon
don, Paris and American Bank a draft
for £8000 on the London and County
Bank, London, England, which he Intend
ed to draw upon, so that he did not waste
any time in getting to work.
The Chief had wired to Chicago and
the bank telegraphed a reply to get from
Advani their check book. The Chief and
Captain Seymour discovered that Advani
was a guest at the Grand Hotel and De
tective George McMahon was detailed to
watch for him. He was arrested yester
day after he had paid his bill at the hotel
and was going to Cook & Son to get his
ticket to Los Angeles. He was so hard
up that after his arrival here he pawned
his gold watch, diamond and ruby gold
pin and diamond and ruby ring for $25.
He was taken to the Chief's office and
put through a searching examination. He
stoutly maintained that he was an indigo
merchant from Bombay and that all his
transactions were honorable. He account
ed for his lack of funds by the fact that
his father on learning that he had mar
ried an Englishwoman, Miss Holmes, in
London, had sent word to his bankers In
London to" stop all supplies unknown to
him. He is a Brahmin and his father
would not forgive him for marrying a
Christian. His wife died last April in
giving birth to a daughter, who is with
friends ln England. He said he was first
married when he was 6 years old to a
girl 4 years old. who died when she was
21. Like Sir Harry Cooper, he had stamps
made In New York with banking firms'
names on them and had tetter heads and
other documents printed. Among his

was a heartbreaker. !
In view of the decision of the Supreme
Court in the Alonzo Whiteman case the i
Chief will not be able to hold Advani as
he.would require to bring witnesses from

reluctantly have to discharge him.
TYPOGRAPHICAL UNION
TO ORGANIZE A CLUB
The members of the various unions af
filiated with the Allied Printing Trades
C Including printers, tereotypers,
web pressmen, printing pressmen, photo
engravers, etc.— have determined to enter
the municipal political campaign and
make a fight for the union label.
A largely attended meeting was held
last night at the headquarters of the
Typographical Union. 533 Kearny street,
and temporary organization effected by
electing Harry Gibb, president of the
Typographical Union, as chairman, andT.
J. Dfnan, president of the Web Press
men, as secretary.
A resolution was unanimously adopted,
and referred to the. committee on plat
form and rules, with instructions to
draw up the platform In accordant to
the spirit thereof. The resolution is as
follows:
Whereas, The membtrs of the unions affil
iated with the Allied Printing Trades Council,
and all men who are In favor of union labor
li.-ing employed on all commercial work, having
found It impossible to secure the use of the
Allied Printing Trades Council label on city
printing; and.
Whereas, .Ml efforts having failed to secure
the appearance of said label without entering
the field of politics: therefore, be it
Resolved, That all union men, and all friends
of union labor, do form .1 political club, which
shall be non-partisan and nun- sectarian, and
the members of said club shall pledge them
selves to support only such candidates for
office who, in the opinion of this club, would,
if elected, fulfill their professions of friendship
for organized labor and the _: lon label.
Th*- chair was instructed to appoint a
committee -on permanent organization and
a. committee on platform and rules. The
following were appointed:
Committee on permanent organization—
T. J. Carroll (chairman),; 3. Wainwright,
A. I. Miner, C. Vandervodrt, 11. Pohlman,
J. Smith, N. Ewers, C. Bishop, F. Caler

This Is the first instance in the history
of the printing trade of this city where
the members of the unions connected
therewith have affiliated for non-partisan
political purposes. The unions connected
with this movement have a membership
of over 1000, and they are sanguine of ac
complishing much good for the cause of
unionism, irrespective of party.
MILE OF TRACK A DAY.
Rapidity With Which the Valley
Road Is Reing Pushed to
Completion-.
Chief Engineer Storey reports that the
; track of the Valley road Is being pushed
; ahead at the rate of a mile a day and
i that all the other labor In Connection with
! the great enterprise is moving ahead with
j the same gratifying celerity.
The rails are now in plkce five miles
west of Stockton in the direction of Point
Richmond and only about, ten miles of
uncovered ground lies between the end of
the ties and Middle River, the next Im
portant objective point. The track is al
• ready In place In front of Antioch and
has been pushed out to a distance of
about four miles to the westward of that
place.
The foundations of the big steel viaduc*
at the upper end of the El' Hambre Val
ley are already in place and the actual
work of construction will be started some
time next week. As all the steel for this
structure and the bridges has arrived
from the foundries in the East there Is
now nothing to prevent the work being
carried rapidly to completion.
The bridge over the San Joaquin Is fin
ished and now has trains- running over
it. The bridges over the Middle and Old
rivers, however, are not so- far along and
It will take probably until the first part
of next month to finish them.
Work on all the tunnels is progressing
satisfactorily and It is expected that they
will all be in working order within the
next three weeks except possibly the big
Franklin tunnel, which ha*, to be exten

Undivided Profits of Banks to Pay a
Tax of Two Cents on Each
One Hundred Dollars
Used.
A dispatch received from Washington
yesterday stated that the Internal Reve-
nue Commissioner was about to urge
upon the members of Congress, at the
coming session, the necessity of amending
the war-tax law. BO as to save to the
Treasury many millions of dollars yearly.
which are now uncollectable because of
ambiguity in the wording of the law and
adverse decisions by the courts. Internal
Revenue Agent Burt M. Thomas of this
city said yesterday that there is much
to do for Congress in this matter, in order
to save millions of dollars now lost to
the Government.
"The greatest loss," said Mr. Thomas,
"is the tax on the undivided profits of
banks. According to section 2, paragraph
2, of the war-tax law, all banks having
an undivided surplus must pay the tax
of 2 cents on each $100 used in the bank.
The Attorney General ruled that undi
vided profits in banks were not considered
as capital or surplus and that the banks
did not have to pay the tax. So the
Government lost a large amount of
money. On the other hand the Govern
ment gains considerable money by the tax
on stocks, the tax being on the face valu
ation of the shares. In the northeastern
districts of California between $200,000
and $300,000 per year are lost by the fail
ure to collect the bank tax.
"Some money is lost on the wine tax
by restaurant keepers serving wine in
pitchers instead of bottles which are
taxed, and also by the use of tax stamps
a second and a third time. this loss
could be avoided by taxing the wine in
the winery, or by having strip stamps
fastened to the cork and to the bottle
in such a way that the cork could not
be drawn without breaking the stamp.
I have no doubt that Congress will amend
the law so that those leakages will be
checked."
WELL WON BARS FOR
A FIRST LIEUTENANT
PROMOTION FOR J. D. LEITCH,
POST ADJUTANT.
First of the Regiments Formed Un
der the Last Call Ordered Out
to This Station.
First Lieutenant Joseph Leitch of the
Twenty-fourth Infantry, post adjutant of
the Presidio, has been promoted to a cap
taincy of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, and
with the commission comes an order to
join his new command as soon as possi
ble. Company G of the Twenty-fifth, to
which he has been promoted, is the garri
son company at Fort Sam Houston, San
Antonio, Texas, and before long Captain
I.eitch will have to make his way south
ward, unless he is retained in his present
position.
His departure will be a distinct loss to
the Presidio, for among officers and men, j
as well as those 'whose business is with i
j and not of the military establishment, he
■ has earned an enviable reputation for
■ courtesy and kindliness. Captain Leitch
S was an officer of the Fifth Army Corps
that served through the campaign in
| Cuba. He was in all the engagements of
! importance, and when he came to the Pre
sidio with his regiment last June he
brought with him a record to be proud of.
Fort Sam Houston is the headquarters
■of the Department of Texas. It is the
I most important post in the Southwest,
and in the ordinary course of events Cap
'■ tain I.eitch will become a post commander
as well as a captain. He brings to the
position more than the usual experience j
\ and ability. The congratulations of all
his friends follow him to his new com
mand.
The Forty-fifth Infantry, under Colonel
i Dorst, has been ordered to make a start
from Fort Spelling for Manila on October
22. Two companies of the regiment which
have been recruited in Vancouver have
been ordered to await at Portland the go%
'' ing of the Thirty-ninth Infantry, under
Colonel Bullard, but the remaining ten
companies will come to San Francisco and
leave from here. The Thirty-eighth,
under Colonel Wallace, has been ordered
to leave Jefferson Barracks, St. Louis, on
the 2"ih Inst., and the Forty-fourth, under
Colonel McClennand, has been ordered to
proceed to this city on October 25. The
Forty-fourth is being recruited at Fort
Leavenworth, Kansas'.
Two cases of diphtheria have developed
in the Twenty-eighth. They were sent to
the general hospital yesterday and were
isolated.
Major Blair D. Taylor, surgeon, U. S.
A., has been ordered to the Hawaiian Isl
ands to take the place of Major Marshall
W. Wood, surgeon, U. S. A., who has
been in charge of the medical department
there. Major Taylor is now on his 'way
out here from the East. Colonel Green
leaf, who was to have proceeded to the
camps in the Hawaiian Islands on his
tour of inspection, has been ordered to
Manila. He will probably sail on the
Hancock, the next transport to leave this
port. - --, . .
Under orders from Washington the fol
lowing female nurses will prepare for ser
vice in the Philippines: Miss Julia Woods,
Miss Edith Rutley. Miss Sibbie Wilson,
Miss Jeanette McDonald, Miss Mary Ly
ons, Miss Lulu Durkee. .Miss Mary Bar
clay and Miss Marcella Doyle. These
nurses will leave for Manila on the first
transport that sails. The service in Manila
is considered most desirable by the fe
male nurses doing duty at the general
hospital at the Presidio, and all those or
dered out to the Islands are rejoicing over
their assignment. They will be put on
duty in the various hospitals in Manila
and its environs, but they will not be as
signed to field duty.
Captain Clarke of Company H. William
J. Watson of Company D and Lieutenant
Colin Hall of Company X of the Kansas
regiment, having been discharged from
the hospital, have rejoined theircommand.
Lieutenant Albert H. Crouse. who has
been in command of Company H, in place
of Captain Clarke, has been assigned to
Company E.
Solomon Mullins and Edward Tomlln of
Company M of the Thirty-first Infantry
have returned to duty. Both men have
been held in detention at the smallpox
camp at the Presido. The Thirty-first
regiment will be released from quarantine
to-day, the time for their detention since
the last case appearing in the regiment
having expired.
General Funston called upon General
Shafter yesterday morning to pay his re
spects. Governor Stanley of Kansas also
called, and was afterward escorted to the
Presidio by Captain Greene, signal officer
on General Shafter's staff, where he was
shown all there was to be seen. He was
given a salute of nineteen guns fired by
the light battery of the Third Artillery.
General Shafter has received a dispatch
from General Otis, requesting that the
families of officers serving in the Philip
pines be induced to stay at home. "There
is no place in the Philippines for the
wives and children of officers," says the
telegram, and hereafter it is probable that
no more of them will be allowed to go out
there at the Government's expense. If they
wish to go there themselves on their own
account It is another matter, but the Gov
ernment will not be responsible for their
transportation or their quarters in the
islands.
Acting Assistant Surgeon NevlH M.
Garrett, having returned from the islands
and having been relieved as attending \
