Between Barstow and Albuquerque the
Santa Fe has, in the past, experienced
to' haul freight trains over the
steep grades of the company's line be
tween Barstow and Albuquerque had ar
rived at the western terminal of the
road in Southern California and will be
put in service to-morrow or the day fol
lowing.
The new locomotive, a product of the
Baldwin Locomotive Works, is the larg
est in the world and its performance is
looked forward to with keen Interest by
the officials of the operating and motive
departments of all tho Western roads,
for it Is an innovation that Is expected
to result in much saving in expense of
wear and tear and wages and In the mat

WORD was received by the local
Santa Fe officials yesterday
that the first of the forty-five
giant locomotives to be used

years ago. Young Clunle is about 8 years
of age.
The greatness of the latest type of lo
comotive can be easily imagined when it
is stated that Its length is seventy-seven
feet— longer that a Pullman car— and
that It weighs 2S7.240 pounds, or a trifle
more than 143% tons. Of this immense
weight 234,520 pounds rest upon the driv
ers, which have a diameter of fifty-seven
Inches. The dimensions of the other im
portant parts of the locomotives are as
follows: Cylinders, 39 and 32x32 Inches;
total wheel base, 35 feet 11 inches; driv
ing wheel base, 19 feet 9 inchee; bolter
diameter 78^ Inches (water tube); boiler

east.
great difficulty In operating'heavy freight
trains, for that portion of tho company's
territory Is mountainous and necessitates
double-headers on all big trains, partic
ularly during the California fruit season,
when the Santa Fe traffic is exceedingly
heavy. The new engines, of which the
one now In tho south is the first to ar
rive, are expected to pick up these big
trains and haul them east as rapidly as
two engines of a smaller type. .
The balance of the locomotives con
tracted for are expected to be delivered
by their makers to the company In Cal
ifornia by January 1. As soon as they are
all in service it Is the Intention of the
Santa Fe Company to remove the smaller
locomotives now in use on that'particu
lar branch of the road to its- systems in
Missouri.' Kansas and Texas, where the
country Is level. Besides tfiese forty-five
big locomotives the company purposes to
reinforce Its motive power west of Albu
querque with sixteen large locomotives
commonly known as "moguls" now in
the proceeds to go toward the fund of the
association. The cause Is a worthy one
and tho public should respond heartily.
The plays will be worth the money
charged and will equal any ever given in
the theater.

formance, and although the spectacular
features are the most wonderful that
have ever been placed on the stage, the
fact remains that a very large share of

PORTLAND, Or., Nov. 10.— When.
George H. Chivls of Detroit, Mich., the
colored editor of the Railway Portersi
Magazine, entered the dining car on a
train bound from San Francisco to Port
land yesterday the conductor told him
that "be could not be gsrved until later.
Chivis saw several vacant seats and pro
tested, claiming that h© was paying the
same price as anybody else. He pushed
past the conductor and sat down, ac
companied by his wife and E. C. Hughes,
a colored man of San Francisco.
Several ladles left the car and tho
members of the Multnomah football team,
who were returning from California,
crowded behind the conductor as he re
monstrated with Chivla. Hughes went
out and returned with a revolver. The
incident was closed peaceably.
Special Dispatch to Th» Call.
Former United States Senator Penrose
is Bupposed to have an interest In this
road, whose plans were fully exploited
several months ago, when its. promoters
went north to look over the ground.
The proposed route of. the new road is
from Grants Pass, Or., in a southwesterly
direction via Wllderville, Selma and Kirby
to Crescent City, Del Norte County, Cali
fornia, with a branch line running north
erly via Smith River to Chetco, Or., and
also from a point on Smith River near
Crescent City southerly via Requa, Del
Norte County, to a point in Humboiat
County. The entire length of the line is
estimated to be 191 miles.
The other company which filed a certifi
cate of • incorporation yesterday Is the
California and Oregon Coast Railroad.
It was recently Incorporated under the
laws of Nevada with a capital of $1,000,000,
of which $200,000 is subscribed by J. O'B.
Gunn, John Barth, T. W. M. Draper, H.
H. Ludlow, Bond V. Thomas and M. S.
Wilson, $100 each, and the Oregon and Pa
cific Railroad Construction Company $139,
400.
ANOTHER NEW COMPANY.
When an answer was denied the South
ern Pacific Company It promptly an
nounced that it would Immediately paral
lel the new line and made a bluff to do
so, with the result that it finally entered
Into a traffic alliance with the Sierra Rail
way, and to-day holds this traffic con
tract over the head of the little road to
prevent it from doing business with the
Santa Fe or other roads that may invado
that territory.
Another line eastward by way of Beck
with Pass would add to the revenue of
the Harriman syndicate, and possibly In
•time, after Harriman has carried out his
present plans for a road up the coast by
way of the California Northwestern to
Eureka, Crescent City, Coos Bay and
Portland, the new line to the East might
be connected with the existing Oregon
line of the Southern Pacific and In this
manner afford a shorter and quicker haul
for freight destined for the East from
the north and from Eastern points to the
territory in which Hill and Harriman are
r.ow striving to hold their own. Hellman,
Klrkpatrick and Israel have figured In the
directorates of several companies con
trolled by Harriman, and this fact lends
strength to the prevailing suspicion that
the road incorporated yesterday is a Jlar
riman project.
AN EYE ON" BECKWITH .PASS.
The Diamond Match Company has been
laying unusually heavy rails and ordering
rolling stock of a character that has plain
ly suggested to the practical railroad
managers that the enterprise of the com
pany is- of a greater magnitude than a
scheme to reach its timber holdings in
that section of the State and carry Its
product to market by way of the South
ern Pacific Company's lines. For several
months agents of the Southern Pacific
Company have been In the field doing de
tective work with a view of confirming
the fears of Harriman that the Diamond
Match Company is trying to assist the
Gould lines to steal a march and get into
California.
It is no uncommon method of the South
ern Pacific Company to survey lines to
parallel those of suspected competitors,
one recent instance being In the case of
the Sierra Railway. When that concern
started to build out of Oakdale and mys
teriously concealed its purposed destina
tion the Southern Pacific Company sent
its representatives to the promoters of
the smaller road and demanded to know
to what points the line was to be built
and whether it was Intended eventually
to extend the road across the eastern bor
ders of the State.
BIG BLUFF WORKED.
With the usual discreetness, the lncor
porators of the new road fail to explain
why they intend to practically parallel
the Diamond Match Company's road, but
public opinion in that section of the State
is already firmly settled on tho supposi
tion that President Harriman of the
Southern Pacific Company, fearing, as
many outsiders hope, that the Diamond
Match Company's small line is In reality
a nucleus for another transcontinental
road, designed by Gould, who owns a
large share of the stock of the match
syndicate, purposes to build out of Cali
fornia by the same route.
For months it has been known that the
Diamond Match Company was surveying
eastwardly beyond its matchwood tract,
apparently with a future plan of crossing
the Meadows and by way of BeckwITh
Pass, the route selected by the Western
Pacific, secure an exit .from California
and eventually connect with the Gould
lines in Denver. C. P. Huntingdon once
contemplated leaving California with the
Central Pacific by this more northern
route and in after years, when he had
realized that he and his associates had
made a great mistake, he often admitted
the fact and spoke of possible construc
tion work In that direction in the time
to come.
The Chico and Northern Railroad Com
pany Is one of the newly, incorporated
companies and Is capitalized at $1,000,000,
of which $32,000 Is subseribfd by the direc
tors, who are I. W. Hellman, J. M. Is
rael, H. M. Hoibrook and John C. Kirk
pfitrick of this city; and C. A. Harp of
Stockton. Banker ¦ Hellman, who is
named as treasurer of the new company,
holds $30,000 of the stock subscribed and
the balance is distributed among the oth
ers to the extent of $500 each. The com
pany announces its purposes to build a
read of thirty-two miles from a point one
mile south of Chico, in a general north
erly and easterly direction to the new
town of Sterling, which was established
and is now the northern terminus of the
road being constructed by the Diamond
Match Company.
HABBIMAN FEARS GOULD.
Two new railroad enterprises, both des
tined to contribute to the development
of Northern California, gave formal no
tice of their existence yesterday when
certificates of incorporation were filed
with the County Clerk. The directorates
of both companies are composed mainly
of local men of prominence, a fact that
strongly suggests that the Southern Pa
cific Company Is anticipating a move on
the part of a possible" transcontinental
competitor to gain a firm foothold In tne
northern territory on which the Harriman
railroad has long held a strong grip.
None of the escapes has been recap
tured, although officers In every part of
tho country are on the lookout for them,
It is known that Williams was at Val
lejo recently, but he fled before the au
thorities could lay hands on him.
The investigating officer does not see
how there could have been any connec
tion between the escape of Williams and
the subsequent release of the other four
felons. He thinks it might have been pos
sible that White and Moore heard how
their former friend won his way to free
dom and. were thus Inspired to make a
similar attempt. The orders on which
White, Moore, Stokes and Darling were
released are not at all like the one used
by Williams, nor was the same method
followed in placing the documents in the
regular military channels.
Colonel Andrews received an order from
the War Department yesterday directing
that all orders of release must bear the
signatures of the Secretary of War and
of the acting Secretary of War. besides
those of local officers. The War Depart
ment seal must also be affixed to all such
documents. It Is thought that this will
prevent similar occurrences In the future.
Ralph Williams went free on a forged
order of release early In September. The
other four prisoners effected their escape
simultaneously a month later by the same
means. It was thought at first that the
felons were aided by conspirators on the
outside of the prison walls, but Major
Morrow ia Inclined to think from the evi
dence presented during the recent inves
tigation that the whole work was done at
Alcatraz. Moore and White had access
to the adjutant general's office and to the
printing plant on the island.
Major Morrow went into the printing
office and made an exact copy of the
fraudulent pardons. He thinks that the
only aid which might have been given
the prisoners must have come from Mes
senger Foster, who tarried mall between
Alcatraz and headquarters, and who de
serted as soon as the facts In the case
were made known.
Major Harry Morrow, Judge advocate
of the Department of California, sent a
report to General MacArthur" yesterday
explaining how military prisoners "Wil
liams. White, Moore, Stokes and Darling
escaped from Alcatraz by means of forged
orders. No recommendations are made
in the report as to methods of preventing
further escapes in a similar manner, but
the department commander will probably
attend to this feature of the case him
self.
In charging tho Jury Judge de Haven
laid down the law of the case as 'follows:
lie said that if a person makes applica
tion to enter public lands with the inten
tion at the time of the application to ac
quire the land for his own benefit and not
for the benefit of somebody else on specu
lation he can borrow the money to, pay
for the land and his expenses in acquir
ing the property without violating the
law. Then if he should find it to be more
profitable to sell it than to retain it he
may sell it. But if, at the time of making
the application, he intends to sell it as
roon as he gfts a chance, and makes the
eppllcatlon because he has an agreement
with somebody to sell and merely com
piles with the formal requirements of the
law for that purpose, he is simply a
dummy aud commits perjury in taking the
oath and the person who has made the
suggestion to him to make the false oath
Is guilty of subornation of perjury.
LAYS DOWN THE LAtV.
One of the defendants, Arthur W. Ked
die, a gray-haired man. almost collapsed
when the verdict was announced and was
l>i*"vented from pinkir.g to the floor by his
daughter. Miss Helen Keddie. who caugnv
him in her arms and whis;>ered words of
encouragement into his ear.
The counsel for the defense were great
ly surprised at the verdict, because the
four witnesses called for the prosecution
had sworn Chat they had .stated the truth
in their applications for the land and had
not committed perjury, nor had they been
incited thereto by tho accused. The jury,
however, chose to disbelieve that part of
their testimony because of the other cir
cumstances attendant upon their filing on
the land.
The defendants are m<*n well-to-do and
owners of the Roberts Lumber Company,
the Boca and Loyaltcn Railroad and saw
mills at Loyalton. in the heart of a rich
sugar pine district. Tho theory of the
prosecution was that the defendants, de
jlrir.g to get lumber to keep their mills
In operation, induced the nine persons
named in the Indictment to file upon as
many quarter sections of timber land In
consideration of the payment of their ex
penses and 5100 for each quarter section,
over and above the $400 paid to the Gov
ernment for it, and that the applicants
J-.ad an agreement beforehand to sell to
none but the defendants and at the con
sideration mentioned, the defendants ad
vancing the money for the purchase and
the expenses.
ALIaOST COLLAPSES
The defendants had been indicted for
Hibernation of perjury on eighteen counts
wccuslr.g them of .having suborned
William 8. Mead, Hiram Reed. Stephen
II. Whittlcsey, George IX. Stlmers. Creed
T. Hill, James W. Larison, Mrs. Carolynn
E. Battelle. Walter L. Rees and Miss
Helen Keddie to make false oath in. filing
applications for timber lands in Plumas
rnd Sierra counties. Judge de Haven or
riered the defendants to appear to-mor
row morning: at 10 o'clock for sentence.
The maximum penalty is imprisonment In
the penitentiary for the term of five years
and the imposition of a fine not exceeding
$1000.
Bert Schlesinger. leading counsel for the
crfonse, announced that he would appeal
the case. Five of the witnesses alleged
to have been suborned could not be
found by the United States Marshal, but
the jury declared by the verdict that the
conditions with respect to the missing
witnesses were similar to those surround
ing the witnesses who testified.

DRIED UP
Coffee Was Drying Up Her Blood.
"Coffee had the peculiar effect on me of
thickening the blood and lessening it in
quantity, in other words, drying it up,"
pays a young lady of Sheldon, Neb., "and
fo long es I used the drug coffee I had
terrific headaches frequently accompanied
by sour Btomach and a very bad breath.
"Mr condition was serious and I kpew
fomething had to b« done, to I decided to
quit coffee and drink Postum. ;, *~\\l
"A few days after I quit drinking cof-
fee and shifted to Postum I felt much
better and continued to improve on the
Postura until I am now entirely free from
headaches and Btomach trouble and
rteaclH- gaining In flesh and health and
feel heppy and full of rich, pure blood.
"My parents were ailing as long as they
were coffee drinkers. They were certain-
ly great coffee fiends and claimed that
they could not get coffee Btrong
enough for them and my father in par-
ticular was a clave to coffee, drinking
many cups cf it dally, although he had
terrific headaches about once a week,
while ray mother complained of her liver
and took different liver remedies, but all !
to no avail.
"Then I persuaded them, to quit coffee
and drink Postum Food Coffee and the
result was all that I had hoped for and
both are now hearty eaters and are
strong and well. I know of many other
rases where leaving off coffee and drink-
Ing Postum has resulted in wonderful
changes In health." Name given by Pos-
