HARRIMAN'S $111,000,000
LOAN HITS WALL STREET
Stocks Decline Violently
and Magnate Is Flayed
by Financiers
VOICES HIS DISGUST
Railway King Says He Is
Most Unpopular Man
in the District
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CAIX
XEW YORK, May 9. — While Wall
street was prepared for some: interest
ing development, the news of a new
$111,000,000 loan, coming from the lips
<jf •£. 11. Harriman himself, fell on- the
district today like a thunder
Clap.- "A bear argument," was the ver
dict, and the entire market declined
violently, several active stock issues
dropping" from 3 to 8 points.
;. Wall street's unfavorable verdict was
h. source of disappointment to the large
financial interests. When the battles
of the stock and bond markets were
over for the day and the financial dis
trict had registered its lack of enthu
siasm. Harriman left his offices late in
the afternoon, a deeply chagrined. man.
lie referred rather resentfully to the
time- last summer, when he first an
nounced a 10 per cent dividend on
"Union Pacific common.
"It looks." said he, "as if this were to
W a repetition of last august, when I
thought I would be the biggest man In
New York. I i bought I had done a
good thins: and expected to be com
\u25a0 inc-nded and praised.
\u25a0; "Not, however. 1 am the most un
po'ular man down here. I am being
cursed and damned all over the street
for having handed out a. lemon instead
of a \u25a0ni'Mon."
The head of the TTnSon Pacific and
Southern Pacific systems pointed out
that the greater part of the 5111,000,000
would be devoted toward paying off
the floating debts of the two com
panies.
"There are. no more stock or bond is
eues to be sold for a long time," he
said. "In fact, this will be all the
financing required for a year from this
time on.
"These new issues add practically
irothing to th* 4 fixed charges of the road,
as the money will be used in paying
off loans already contracted. And
another thing:, they won't disturb the
money market. The money paid for
stock- and bonds will at once be put in
circulation again in being paid out for
the purposes named.
S. P. AND U. P. DIVIDENDS
Directors Decide to Place Statistics
on a Quarterly Basis
\u25a0 NEW TORK. May 9. — Directors ofHhe
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific com
panies voted today to place the statis
tics of the two companies on a quar
terly instead of a semiannual divi
dend basis. As a result a quarterly
dividend of Hi per cent on Southern
Pacific stock and a quarterly dividend
of 2^* per cent on Union Pacific stock
was declared. These dividends will be
payable July 1. and are at" f.he same
rate per annum as the last previous
declarations.
The directors of the Southern Pacific
voted to offer for «übscrlptlon pre
ferred stock to the extent of 15 .per
c>nt of the company's total capitaliza
tion, or ?36,000,000.
\u25a0 Announcement was made after the
meeting that the directors of the Union
Pacific would call a stock holders' meet
iry? in June to authorize an issue of
$100,000,000 common stock, against
which will be issued $75,000,000 4 per
oe-nt convertible bonds. The new bonds
will be convertible into stock at 173
at any time within five years. The
bonds, will be offered at 90.
In explanation of the proposed Union
Pacific Issue E. H. Harriman read a
statement, which ehowed that the re
quirements amounted to $63,700,000. He
stated that Its total free assessment
was $243,000,000, exclusive of 1600 miles
oT completed railway. He estimated
the net earnings of the Union Pacific
for 1906 and 1907 at $31,500,000. as com
pared with $30,615,000 in the previous
year. All incomes he estimated at
$36,300,000, and the balance over all
charges, requirements and dividends at
$12,000,000.
Harriman estimated the net earnings
of the Southern Pacific for 1906-07 at
$J<,700,f100, to be compared with $37,
432,000 in the previous year.

MESSINA, Sicily, May 9. — The erup
tion of Maunt Stromboll was more "Vio
lent today and the apprehension Is
growing. The violence of the present

S. H. Wilson, who served as sheriff
of Butte county until It was decided
that he had been elected illegally, was

GOLDFIELD JURY FINDS
TWO PRISONERS GUILTY
Trial of Men for Murder of
Tony Silva Is Finally
Ended
VERDICT IS SURPRISE
Many People Supposed That
Delegates of I. W. W.
Would Go Free "
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.
GOLDFIELD, Xev., May 9. — After de
liberating for nearly five hours tonight
the Jury which has been, trying M: R.
Preston and Joseph Smith, walking
delegates of the industrial workers of
the world, for'the murder of Tony SHya.
the restaurant keeper. On the evening
of March 10. rendered a verdict finding
Preston guilty of murder in. the second
degree, with a recommendation to; the
mercy of the court, and Smith guilty
of voluntary manslaughter. Sentence
will be pronounced by Judge Langan
at 10 o'clock Monday mornlnsr.-
Shortly before 10 o'clock tonight the
jury, wjiich had been in the custody of
the sheriff and practically confined in
the temporary courthouse, sent word
that a verdict had been reached. The
prisoners, who were confined in the
stone jail at the "border of the town,
wore brought into court. Both ,- men
were haggard and nervous. Smith
feigned Indifference and while waiting
for the jury pretended to be dozing,
while Preston, who is .a young man,
was alert and quivering with anxlety
and suspense. Both men apparently
were confident of acquittal. < . V
" The verdict surprised most of the
people who have followed the progress
of the trial. The penalty prescribed in
Nevada for murder in the . second de
gree is from 1C years* to life imprison
ment, and for the crime of manslaugh
ter from one to ten years. When the
verdict was announced Preston almost
collapsed, while Smith maintained his
air of indifference. The mother and
sister of Preston, who : had attended
sessions of <ourt regularly, were not
present when the verdict was read.
The attorneys for Preston and Smith
were F. J. Hangs and Patrick .; Bowler,
while the. state was represented by
District Attorney Swallow and Special
Prosecutors Booth Melone and J. F.
Douglas. The closing arguments in
the case brought forth emphatic accu
sations by the prosecution of perjury
on the part of witnesses for the de
fense, \u25a0 and prosecution under this
charge may follow.
BEATS ONE CHARGE, BUT
CANNOT PREVENT TRIAL
GOLDFIELD, May 9. — W. N. Parker,
the mining man who was arrested' at
Palmetto Saturday and brought, to
Goldfield on a ; warrant sworn \u25a0• to by
Xewton J. Tharp, will not be tried on
the original charge of defrauding by
means of .fraudulent' reports. The at
torney for the prosecution discovered
that a law had been enacted -by the
last legislature making, it a felony for
a perfeon connected in an official ca
pacity with a corporation to publish a
false statement concerning the finan
cial condition of such corporation and
prescribing the penalty of imprlson
men for not more than 10 years: or a
fine of not more than, sl,ooo. or both
such imprisonment and fine. Attorney
Bonstell, who had been retained by
Tharp for the prosecution, was unaware
of the existence of this law and the
complaint as drawn was consequently
invalidated.
"Upon a motion to dismiss the case
Tharpe's attorney made no opposition
and Parker was discharged only to be
rearrested upon a charge of felony em
bezzlement. It is charged that Parker
was intrusted with certain moneys of
the Arcadia mining company, of which
Tharp Is president and manager, which
he diverted to his own use. According
to the plaintiff Parker, who had the en
tire confidence of. Tharp and his asso
ciates, was given complete charge of
the mine, and upon his representations
and returns of assays secured by him
Tharp organized, the company and. sold
stock to friends and associates,' making
absolute statements of the value of , ore
bodies. It has been discovered ' that
the mine "has no rich ore as represented.
Bonstell said tonight:, "We shall pro
secute him to-the fullest extent of the
law and shall probably prove that he
salted samples of ore submitted for
assay."

debate that . followed was over the
question of their acceptance. When
t.iei.vote: was Jaken it was. found that
230 were In favor of accepting the res
ignations and. los against.* Thisclearly
indicated that the 'majority of the
church members were supporters of Dr.

;Dr. McAfee recently resigned the pas
torate, but *on ' the . advice :of the Oak
land presbytery .he was recalled in the
face of the- Opposition of the trustees
and; the minority faction in the con
gregation. .;
The* withdrawal of one-third;of the
congregation, including the wealthier
members, puts -the church. ln the midst
of entirely new financial problems. The
seceders j forfeit all | their right ; and in
terest \ ln; the church property. A new
church edifice is now being finished at
Dana street and Durant avenue to cost
$80,000. On this/property there is a
mortgage, of $38,000. : : Now 4 that the
most^wealthyi members -of the congre
gation [-have withdrawn, the problem of
financing the, old church becomes acute.
PROSSER'S BUSINESS
METHODS ARE SCORED
OAKLAND, May 9.— "The witness by

the line 1 of embezzlement," said Judge
Ogden; today Jwhen examining William
J. Prosser in a suit brought by Edgar
V. Warren to enforce a» contract « with
Prosser ; entered Into two years ago for
the sale of -four lots In „ Brooklyn
township. alleges that he gave
Prosser :slso_ as part payment for -the
sale' of : a contract which * Prosser had
with Henry :Z.' Jones, for the lots and
on which Prosser ' had - : paid 'Jones but
$225.'' .'Prosser T admitted ,': taking \u25a0 the
money from -Warren, ': but ' thought that
the ; failure of "Warren* to" make . a pay
ment : In '' April, 1 ": 1906.- had 'nullified the
agreement;^though V he retained the
money.' given him by Warren. ' Follow
ing : the deal „ with 'Warren, Prosser sold
his written contract .with Jones to J. E.
Davis of Los Angeles at a profit of $52.
Davis' testimony, was- presented -in a
deposition, in which he states his pur
chase was made with no ! knowledge of
the affair with. Warren. i - . .
V Warren claims ;he has repeatedly
asked . Prosser :to . deliver the . contract,
and the suit , resulted from Prosser's al
leged ;if allure 'to do . so. The matter
was continued three weeks.

A Nurse's
Story
If you are a sufferer
from headache, neuralgia,
or pain from any cause
you should read the fol-
lowing letter from a nurse.
"For sometime I have felt it my
duty to writs you. I 'iiras having
my doctor twice every week for fcend-
ache. All he did \u25a0 for me was to gjve
something to ease the pain. Some-
times the pain was so severe that • I
couM not speak, and members of my
family stood over me and gave me ,
medicine every fifteen mir.ntea until
I was relieved. A cample of Dr. Miles'
Anti-Pain Pilla fell into my hands, I
: read the- circular very - carefully, and ; -
found my case described exaeUy. Tho
next time my head beg^n to ache I
took the Pain Pills acoordics to -di-
rections .and I frit" I -was getting
better, so I sent to the druggist for a
box and took them until I was so
\u25a0-, much better* „ tha t,l .'. ,waa about Q» ,
..; house all the iaf ternoon-vi I - have not '
• had- a doctor* for headache *• since.
When he ' met m« sometime after he
wanted to know how I wasi. and I told
him what I had done, and he replied; .
"If you have found anything: that will
help you. stick to it;" and so I have.
1 Being a nurse ' I have recommended
• them to a gTeat many grateful people.
One case I will mention. I raw a doc-
tor go to a- neighbor every week for
, months because she had such " awful
headaches: but for a long- time I dared
not suggest anything toher. One day
I met her and I gave her a half a .
box of Anti-Pain Pms and she' used
them and has had no doctor since.
She says they are a great blessing to
her and said, "why didn't yon t*l£ma
aboti t them before/* x could tell* you
of many slsUlar cases."
