Los Angeles Man Gets Verdict for
94000 Damages Against the
Southern Pacific.
SAN JOSE, June 17.— Robert H. Elser
Of Los Angeles was given a verdict
against the Southern Pacific Company
by^ a jury to-night for $4000 damages
for violent .ejectment from a train in
this city on August 23 last. The tes
timony showed that a relative of Elser
purchased three special excursion tick
ets from Los Angeles to the Jeffries-
Corbett fight at San Francisco and
wrote the names on the tickets hlm
belf, with the sanction of the selling 1
agent, instead of requiring the users
to indorse them. Elser, when request
ed to write his name for identification,
explained the circumstances, but was
not believed.
After his ejectment he was locked
up overnight in the city prison under
the direction of the railroad conductor.

CALISTOGA, June - 17.— A slight
shock of earthquake was felt here this
morning. at 7:28 o'clock. The vibrations
were from. east to west. No damage
is reported. ' , [ : • .
NEW YORK, June 17.— The sentiment
in Wall street to-day was largely influ
enced by the attitude assumed by the
stockholders of the Southern Pacific
and others toward the financial plan
recently/announced. A further discus
sion and reflection on the proposals of
the j Southern Pacific management
seemed to demonstrate pretty clearly
the fact that the plan to raise J JO, 000,000
in cash by the sale of 7 per cent pre
ferred stock, and the right to authorize
an issue of JlOO.OOQ.OOi}, has not been fa
vorably received: This sentiment was
evidenced by liquidation in Southern
Pacific, which affected the entire mar
ket.
The fact that the Southern Pacific
Company reserved the right to redeem
the preferred stock at 115 within a pe
riod of five years after July 1. 1905,
brought about a decided change in the
estimated status of the new preferred
stock, as well as the rights accruing
on present stock. It was quite gener
ally believed that the new stock would
sell above 115, but the redemption
clause carried with it the conviction
that the new stock would sell some
where between that figure and 120. The
course of the rights on the curb, where
they are now traded in. together with
the decline in the stock to 117. con
firmed the general impression. The
suggestion was also made that no mat
ter what refunding process was put
into operation the new preferred stock
would probably be funded into bonds.
SnOOTS HIS COMPANION ¦*¦
AND SURRENDERS AT ONCE
Slayer Alleges Self-Defense for a
Crime Committed on the North
ern Border of State.
APHLAND, Or., June 17.— News has
reached here of a tragedy at Picard.
in Butte Creek Valley, California. ea3t
of Ashland, in which George Potter, a
young man of Ashland, wa.i shot and
killed, and his companion, named Mc-
Kay, seriously wounded by a man
named Snyder at a cabin near the
Picard postofflce. Snyder \>«nt to Kerto,
Klamath County, and gave himself up
to the officers, claiming that the shoot
ing was dene in defense of his property.
The report is being persistently cir
culated in local railroad and financial
circles that the recent incorporation of
a company to build a six-mile road
from Oakdale, the southern terminus
of the Sierra Railway, to Riverbank, a
station on the line of the Santa Fe, is
the forerunner of a bigger deal, involv
ing the transfer of ownership of the
Sierra Railway. x
According to the information now in
the possession of men of finance, Wil
liam R. Thorsen of Wisconsin, head of
the syndicate which purchased the
West Side Lumber Company's plant in
Tuelumne County two years ago and
has Just incorporated the company
which will build the road from Oakdale
to Riverbank. has secured an option
on the Sierra Railway property. It Is
claimed that Thorsen, since he first
came to California two years ago, has
been quietly working for the Santa Fe
Company with a view of securing for
it a foothold in the big timber dis
tricts in Tuolumne and adjacent coun
ties, and while engineering this scheme
he took advantage of an opportunity
to purchase the West Side Lumber
Company's interests.
RIPLEY STEALS A MARCH.
About a year ago a company, in
which Thorsen is said to have been the
backer, incorporated for the purpose
of building a road from a point on the
Sierra Railway to Claus, a station of
the Santa Fe. The attempts of the
company to secure rights of way were
thwarted by the Southern Pacific It
was then that Thorsen, acting under
advice of the president and other lead
ing officials of the Santa Fe. under
took another project and before the
Southern Pacific Company realized the
fact the newly incorporated company,
known N as the Oakdale and Western
Railroad, had obtained the necessary
rights of way between Riverbank and
Oakdale and "let Its contract for grad
ing. Before accomplishing this much,
however, Thorsen had been dealing
witlulhe stockholders of the Sierra
Railway and obtained an option in his
Own name, but which, in reality. Is for
the Santa Fe Company.
THORSEN HURRIES EAST.
The option guarantees Thorsen con
trol of the road as soon as he has
made a sufficient financial advance
ment on the major portion of the stock
that is bonded to him and to carry out
this object he is now in the East.con
ferring with the representatives of
the Santa Fe. During the progress of
the recent deal Thorsen "made his head
quarters at the Palace Hotel and was
dally in conference with Captain A. H.
Payson at the local offices of the Santa
Fe read. The Sierra Railway is a val
uable acquisition to the Santa Fe in
that it gives it a rich field in which
to operate, and guarantees it a large
share of the lumber traffic which orig
inates in the Tuolumne timber dis
trict.
"As Secretary of the Department of
Commerce and Labor, I am the head
of the Federal inquiry into this' af
fair and I propose to give it my per
sonal and in so far as possible my un
divided attention until the matter- Is
finally settled. As soon as practicable
the Board of Inspectors will get to
gether and take testimony. This in
quiry will be separate and distinct
from any proceedings brought by city,
State or county officials. V* V"
CORTELYOU TO INVESTIGATE.
"I want to correct an impression
that seems to have gone abroad that
this investigation will be left to sub
ordinates in the department. This. is
absolutely untrue. I will hold the in
quiry myself and will have ample as
sistance from the most prominent and
efficient men in the department.
Every one who can throw the least
light upon the matter will be brought
before the board and the taking of
testimony will continue so long as any
one can be found who can aid us in
arriving at a correct estimate of the
facts. The sittings of the board will
continue until the whole . truth is
known." . .
While the divers and others were
busy looking for- bodies to-day the
steamer Grand Republic, . the sister
ship of the General Slocum, parsed- up
the river with a party of excursionists
on board. Every , deck was crowded.
As .the vessel. neared the point where
the divers were working on the wreck-
"I wish to say that a most thorough
investigation will be made into the
most awful tragedy and that no stone
will be left unturned to lay bare the
whole truth with regard to it.
Secretary Cortelyou, who had a long
conference with Robert S. Rodie, in
spector of the Second District of
New York, after his arrival here, said
to-day that he would give his per
sonal attention to the Federal investi
gation of the Slocum disaster. Mr.
Cortelyou said:
The distressing concentration of the
blow of the disaster is shown by the
fact that in one apartment house on
Eighth street there are thirty-five
dead, while in a Rivington-street house
sixteen bodies await burial. '
Preliminary steps ,have been taken
for three distinct investigations of the
disaster. These are being undertaken
by the Federal authorities through the
Department of Commerce, by the Coro
ner's office and by the District Attor
ney. The Coroner's inquest will begin
on .Monday next and Captain Van
Schaick- of the Slocum and six of his
crew lie in a hospital with a police
man at the bedside of each. They are
at present detained as witnesses. The 1
authorities are rapidly gathering such
evidence as will be needed in ascertain
ing whether or "not there -was neglect
or carelessness in the safety appli
ances of the vessel.' First Officer Ed
ward Flanagan of the Slocum is quoted
in an Interview as saying that the
steamer's flre hose, was rotten and use
less and that it burst in a dozen places
when he and his men tried-to use it.
The charge Is also made that the life
preservers on the vessel were old and
rotten and in most instances proved in
adequate when used. Several papers
to-day print pictures of preservers
taken from the Slocum which bear in
black letters this inscription:
"Passed by United States Steamboat
Inspector, June 18, 1891."
BOATS FASTENED BY WIRES.
William Thembly, a deckhand, cor
roborates Flanagan's statement regard
ing the defective fire hose and it is re
ported that evidence has been secured
showing that some of the life boats
were made fast by wires, making it
impossible for them to be cast loose
and lowered. All the men who have
made these statements will be called
as witnesses by the Coroner.
Police boats and other, harbor craft.
still maintain their patrol of the waters
of the East River in the vicinity of the
accident in the hope of recovering
bodies.
NEW YORK, Juno 17.— Forty-eight
hours after the burning of the steamer
General Slocum the exact number of
victims is still unknown. Up to the
rresent time the total number of
bodies recovered is 560, and of these
£21 have been identified. With no more
arrivals at the Morgue for several
hours, hope began to be felt that^tho
awful total had been completed, but it
was soon shattered by a report that
divers at work on the hulk of the Slo
cum had discovered a mass of bodies
wedged in one of the paddle boxes.
How many corpses there will prove to
be in this place will not be known for
some hours, as they will not be dis
turbed until the Coroner is on the
scene. One hopeful phase of the sit
uation is the steady decrease in the
number of missing, though it is still
appallingly large, the number being
somewhere between 400 and 500. The
various officials whose positions brings
them into touch with the disaster still
adhere to the belief that when all is
tojd it will be found that between 900
and 1000 persons perished.
The sad' task of burying the dead
began to-day. A meeting of the Ger
man Lutheran ministers of the city
was held and a programme of services
arranged. While in many instances a
Joint service will be held over several
bodies, nevertheless the clergymen of
this denomination have a herculean
task before them in administering the
last rites over the dead of their faith.

At various hospitals where the in
jured are It was said to-day their con
dition is satisfactory. There are now
only 53 victims of the disaster In the
hospitals.
It developed to-day that a new hor
ror had been added to the terrible con
ditions resulting from the Slocum dis
aster through the over-offlciousness of
some person at the Morgue. Asa re
sult some of the bodies probably never
will be identified and will go to a last
resting place in the humble plat fur
nished by the city's charity. When the
bodies were taken by hundreds from
the water and laid in rows on the grass
at North Brother Island each was tag
ged with a number. That number was
carefully recorded and" the papers, val
uables and trinkets which would have
served to positively identify the bodies
were removed and placed In separate
packages, each package bearing a
number corresponding to the number
on the body from which the articles
were taken. These packages then were
placed in the custody of the Coroner.
Scores of the bodies at the Morgue
were burned or bruised beyond recog
nition, but it was hoped that all might
be claimed by friends by means of the
papers and Jewelry. ,
When the bodies were taken to the
Morgue they were placed in numbered
boxes, but in many cases these num
bers did not correspond with the fig
ures the bodies had previously borne.
As a result the plans were completely
upset and the numbered packages of
valuables became practically worthless
aB a means of identifying the owners.
MORGUE RECORDS INCOMPLETE.
One case which came to the attention
of the officials to-day was that of A.
T. Hill of Wllllamsburg. Hill called
at the morgue yesterday and Identified
the bodies of his brother-in-law, Will
iam RIchter, and the wife of the lat
ter, and they were removed to the of
fice of an undertaker. In the afternoon
the bodies of Catherine and .Lillian
Richter, 3 and 4 years old, respectively,'
also.' were identified by hi: . When he
called at the morgue to-day with an
undertaker who was to attend to the
burial of the bodies they could not be
found. The bodies were, numbered 173
and X75 respectively and the authorities
at the morgue - have no record of any
such bodies, having been given to any
one, though they had a record of iden
tification made by, HilJ yesterday.
It. is thought: that, some undertaker
was given the bodies in place of two
others which he .'should have taken,
INJURED ARE IMPROVING.
Discussions as to the best means for
preventing such disasters have brought
out expressions, of opinion by several
leading shipbuilders and naval archi
tects that it Is easily possible to con-
Btruct vessels of the type of the Gen
eral Slocum In such a way as to make
them comparatively safe. These ex
perts believe the free use of steel in
the construction of the upper works
would Involve a greater expense than
builders of excursion craft .are ready
to Incur. They believe that a safe boat
constructed with bulkheads, corru
gated Iron partitions and fireproof ma
terials, might be built for about 20 to
30 per cent more than the cost of a
wooden vessel such as the General Slo
cum. . . ... ;. .
One leading; constructor expressed
the idea that every vessel should have
bulkheads j of light double plating,
filled with asbestos. These should
so fitted that they could be swung
or dropped across certain parts of the
steamer when necessary without ob
structing free passage at other times.
All machinery should be incased m
metal to the top deck. Decks should
be supported by metal framework and
fireproof materials wherever possible.
Inflammable stuff, he. said, should be
barred. , >
Divers had explored the wreck of
the steamer yesterday and reported
that no iriore bodies were. to be found
there, but to-day a diver who was at
work on the sunken hull found a large
number of bodies packed tightly inside
one of the paddle wheels.
Nearly all of the bodies recovered
yesterday were "found in the mud close
to the westerly shore of North Brother
Island, where the Slocum was fir3t
beached and where hundreds went to
their death.
DISCUSSING THE DISASTER.

ON BOARD CALIFORNIA DELE
GATION'S SPECIAL TRAIN, OMAHA,
Neb., June 17. — Governor Pardee's pen
chant fur practical Jokes and the him
csty of Colonel Kowalsky's colored
volet. Bob Jackson, served to enliven
for a time to-day the wearying trav
elers.
In the first instance the Governor let
it be noised about that he was en
gaged in endeavoring to create an op
position to M. A. Gunst, who seeks to
represent California on the committee
that will formally notify Roosevelt of
his nomination. As soon as Gunst's
discomfiture was manifested to a de
gree satisfactory to all concerned, an
nouncement was made that the Gov
ernor was only indulging in his desire
to joke. Then Gunst opened the wine.
The incident in which Kowalsky's
valet was the '"honest hero" happened
this way. Bob was directed by the Col
onel to leave the train during the stop
at Cheyenne and file a telegram.
When the train was about to pull out
It was said that Bob was not on the
station platform and it was necessary
to delay the start until he could be
located.
Finally he was found in his em
ployer's drawing-room.
"Why didn't you tell me you got
back so we could start?" said the con
ductor, angrily.
"Because Ah didn't got back. Ah
never did <go," answered Bob. "Ah
found diamonds." In Bob's ebony hand
ten diamonds sparkled. He had found
them on a car step as he was leaving
to file the telegram.^
The find took his breath, he forgot his
mission and returned to the Colonel's
compartment to report his luck. An
investigation disclosed the fact that
the gems were the property of Mrs. Dr.
Karsner of Oroville. She had not dis
covered the loss until announcement
was made that the sparklers had been
found. Then, in her excitement, she
rewarded the Pullman porter, but
"right will prevail" and a "committee"
was appointed to see that the porter
disgorged in favor of Bob.
For hundreds of miles the train has
sped to-day across the rolling prairie
land of Wyoming, fresh with the show
ers of early summer, and through the
green fields and woods of Nebraska.
All of the delegates, undisturbed by
politics, the only important question,
that of national commltteeman, having
been settled in favor of Knight, settled
down and enjoyed to the fullest extent
the refreshing change from the desert
of Nevada and the dusty heights of
Utah.
The sDeed of the train has been tre
mendous to-day. Between Green River,
Wyo., and Omaha more than sixty
miles an hour was maintained, eighty
eight miles an hour being the maximum
attained. The train reached Green
River two hours and forty-five minutes
behind schedule, but arrived here at
8:45 o'clock, twenty-five minutes ahead
of schedule. This time was made up in
a* distance of 825 miles, and every one
admits that it was a great feat in rail
roading.
To-morrow at 10 a. m. Chicago will
be reached. Elaborate preparations for
the entry of the delegates Into the city
have been made. Carriages will be in
waiting, a brass band will be ready,
and when the Auditorium is reached
the East will know without mistake
that the Farthest West has come to
cast its vote for Roosevelt.
The delegations from Hawaii, the
Philippines and Nevada will join Cali
fornia in the parade, but when the
Auditorium is reached the Nevada
delegation will depart for independent
and unattached headquarters in the
Great Northern Hotel, as befits an in
dependent, sovereign State. _ '

LIVERXASII TALKS. \
The Iroquols Club gave an Informal
reception last night to Congressman E.
J. Llvernash at Pythian Castle. The
hall was well filled with the members
of the club and many outsiders.
After a short introductory speech
by William H. Kline, president of the
club, • Mr. Livernash ¦ started in by
giving a few experiences in Congress.
Soon, however, he branched to capital
and labor. He scored the monopolies
and declared that the workingman's
salvation lies in labor unions and the
voting of the Democratic ticket. His
closing remarks reviewed the work of
the Democratic party, which he said
was "wrong once in a while, and some
times entirely wrong (being a human
institution), but whose maxim is, the
greatest good for the greatest num
ber."
The executive committee of the Re
publican State Central Committee met
last night at party headquarters. Pal
ace Hotel, and framed a call to be pre-
Bented for adoption at a meeting of
the general committee to-day. It Is
recommended that the delegates to the
State Convention assemble on Thurs
day. August 25. The Impression pre
vails that the committee meeting in
the Palace Maple room to-day will des
ignate Santa Cruz as the place for
liolding the convention. The appor
tionment adopted is the same as that
vhich applied to the May convention of
the party, or one delegate for e-£h 200
votes cast for Governor Pardee in 1902
and one Oelegate for a majority frac
tion thereof. This will create a
convention of 734 delegates. The
Lumber accredited to San Francisco
is 121. apportioned as follows to
the respective Assembly districts:
Twenty-eighth. 5; Twenty-ninth, 5;

ward, secretary; James K. Wilson,
treasurer; Robert T. Devlin, P. S. Tel
ler, W. S. Wood, A. H. Ashley, H. W.
Lynch, and Jacob Shaen, assistant sec

The convention will nominate Presi
dential Electors to be voted for at the
general election, Tuesday, November 8,

The subject of registration engaged
the attention of the committee for a
considerable length of time last night.
According to a decision of the Supreme
Court, deputies or clerks employed by
County Clerks to register voters can
not be paid from funds of the county,
hence party clubs may be urged to
aseiBt in bringing about a complete
registration cf voters.
McNAB AND TARPEY.
The new Democratic State Central
Committee v.iJl meet for organization
In the California Hotel at 1 p. "m. to
day. Lively times are expected, as a
fight is on between Gavin McXab and
M. F. Tarpey for possession of the
•uorks. The McXab forces will support
William J. McGee of San Francisco for
chairman. Tarpey's followers will line
up for M. F. Cochrane of San Rafael.
A battle for the secretaryship is also
foreshadowed. Last night the leaders
cf each faction were confident of suc
crEf. It remains to be seen whether
Frank H. Gould, chairman of the late
Eanta Cruz convention, or Barney Mur
phy, chairman of the old State Central
Committee, will call the meeting to or
der. Comments of this kind were made
in the "organisation" camps last night:
"McNab would not be so absolutely
cure of winning out if he had not gone
over the roll carefully and ascertained
beyond doubt that a majority will vote
lor McGee."
In the Hearst camp it waa said:
"Tarpey would not be so positive of
Cochrane's election if he had not gone
flown the line and checked every mem
ber of the committee."
The Democrats may resolve to hold
