McCartney, princi pal assistant engineer of the. Western Pacific. McCartney served under Vir gil Hopue when the latter was chief •>r.gineer of the Union Pacific. Later McCartney was employed by the San Pedro line (the Clark road) in running the survey through Nevada. McCartney testified that shortly after h« placed This men. in the field the; surveyors of the Oregon S'aort Line '\u25a0 appeared on the scene and began to run lines. There was difficulty be-; tween the two parties, and some lime later the Oregon Short line men were withdrawn and McCartney was given instructions to run two lines ].«Vr>lU ling each other. McCartney testified further that in ISO? be received orders "^o disregard tl] P double route and survey a single line, giving it the most advantageous location possible. This he did and un-. «'. r this survey the San Pedro line was. Severance endeavored to make it ap juar that the single line had been built ps tlte result of an agreement betweqn the <an Pedro line and the Oregon Short l.iri". This will be substantiated later by a copy of the contract between Clark ;\u25a0> nd Harriman. fANYOX FOtXD XAIIROW Judge V. R. Kelly, chief counsel for the Kan Pedro road, assisted Judge l>ovett and Peter F. Dunne in the ex amination of the witness. They sought to 'make it appear that it had been found impossible to construct the two lin^F through the narrow canyon and iliat the second line had been aban doned for rngineeriug reasons. A. D. Shepard, secretary and general manager of the Pacific improvement < ompany. and formerly general freight a sent of the Southern Pacific, objected to the persistence with which Sever ance plied him with questions as to the Union Pacific. "I am not here to speak for the Union Pacific.7 replied Shopard. "I am here merely to t*»ll you what I can from my limited knowledge. The Union Pacific < an speak for itself." vOLTHKUX PACIFIC DO.MI.VAVT Severance showed through Shepard's testimony that the Southern Pacific hxd handled the bulk of its freight by water from New York to, New Orleans and thence to San Francisco by rail. Th*- witness stated that the Southern i'a< ifi<- wae always the dominant factor in rat«> making. Severance again tried to show that the Union Pacific, if in reality a competing line, could -'route freight to Portland and*thenee by boat to San Francisco, thus eliminating the Southern Pacific. Shepard said that be did not regard such routing as practlc- Stanley Dollar of the Dollar steam ship company, which, operate* vessels to oriental ports, etated that he had opened negotiations with the San Pedro line for a trans-Pacific service, but that after the question was referred to W. H. Bancroft of the Oregon Short Line by the officials of the San Pedro line, the project was abandoned. In the agreement, as tentatively drawn, San Pedro was to be the main port of call. Further testimony as to the routing of westbound freight was given by A. C. Rufolson. president of a local sheet metal factory. J. P. "Williams. ' local agent of the Panama railroad, said that the vessels operated by his company on the Atlan tic were far superior to those run on the Pacific by the Pacific Mail. The latter, he said, were out of date. It was brought out that' the boats on. this side consume 25, 30 and 35 days in reaching the isthmus while those from Xew Tork make the run In blx days. Williams testified that it required fre quently 45 days to bring freight from New York. It requires but 10 days to get the freight from New York to the Pacific ride of the Isthmus.

[ "JOHN ORTH" IS DISCOVERED AGAIN Chicago Paper Identifies in Poor Machinist the Long Missing Archduke of Austria CHICAGO, May 11. — The "journal to day devotes its entire front page to the elaboration of an. unequivocal statement that It has discovered the 'Iyost John Orth." otherwise Archduke Johann Salvator of Austria, prince of the house of Hapsburg. who disap peared 13 years ago after marrying Fudmik'.a Stubel, an opera singer. Briefly sketched, the Journal story says: WOniCIXG AS MACHINIST "John Orth" was discovered at Painesville. Ohio, working as a , ma chinist at $15 per week. Previously he had followed this occupation 'at Grand Rapids, Mich., and Cleveland, Ohio. His reason for making his iden tity known at this time, the_JLaumal states, was due to his advancing age and his desire "that he might be buried In Austria. Johann Salvator, as. the alleged arch duke has always been known since he left the court at Vienna, was mar ried In London, and he and his wife afterward sailed for South America in I the Santa Marguerita, a schooner which he had' chartered. It has always been believed that the archduke lost his life when the schooner sank off the coast of Chile. AOT OX THE SCHOONER .Acoording to the story of the Painesville machinist he and his beau tiful wife were not aboard the ship. They went ashore at Cusavana, a small port on the Rio de la Plata. It was planned that they should meet the ship at Valparaiso, but the craft sank en route". Tit&i *"' ' The romantic couple drifted all over the world, finally taking up a planta tion on the island of Martinique. In the Mont Pelee catastrophe his wife and their two children were killed. Salvator. according to the Journal story, was rescued and came to ' the' United States.

Both were seriously wounded. \u25a0 There had been ill feeling between the two for some time and Quiroz had challenged Farias to a duel. No ac ceptance was received, and when they met in the cathedral Sunday Quiroz taunted the. man he had challenged, accusing him of cowardice. Farias at once drew, his knife and be gan slashing.

THEIR RETIREMENT CALLED AUTOMATIC Professors Rising, Hprison and Loughridge Dropped From State University Roll j Former Members of Faculty Un^ certain if They Will Get Pensions and "Emeritus" 'BERKELEY, -May .11.— Three pro fessors disappeared from the faculty roll of the University of California to day, but how it happened neither .they nor their friends are able to tell. ' A^. the office of , the secretary the situa tion .was covered in the brief phrase, "automatic retirement." That Is the nearest to an announcement that the unusual occurrence has developed. The three thus unceremoniously": shoved off the faculty bench; are: Prof. W. B. Rising of the chemistry department, Prof.' George H.yHowlson of "the de partment of phlloso"phy and Prof. R.TH. l^oughridge, experts. In soil analysts. That their retirement was slated was stated In these columns yesterday. The event was brought" off as scheduled, but with a strange accompanying si lence, y r The three professors decline, to enter into any discussion of the subject. In fact, they are In a large degree un certain of their fate. NEW ORDER WORKS LIKE CLOCK The process of automatic retirement, which appears; to have been invoked with abundant success :by President \u25a0Wheeler, operates with something of the precision of a time clock. When the professor reaches the age. of. 65 the combination breaks, the bars drop and out slides the victim. It is re garded as a far more satisfactory sys tem than the ancient method of calling the professor into council, telling him, how valuable he has been to the col lege 'and how "sorry we are to lose you, but I have decided to allow you an indefinite leave on half pay." Under the new order of things, the professor is placed on the long incline and tobaggoned into space. It he takes the chute gracefully, he gets an "emerr itus" and a Carnegie pension. XO SOXC, SERVICE NOR FLOWERS \u25a0 Professor Hilgard retired some time ago and due and formal announcement \u25a0was made. Similar announcement' was made recently when Prof. Isaac Flagg was placed on the pension roll. In the wholesale retirement of yesterday there was neither song, service, nor flowers. Professor Howison passed the age limit some time" ago, but declined to. re tire. He Is regarded as an - authority on philosophical subjects. \u25a0 His early students are the professors of today in many of the big 1 eastern colleges. Professor Rising has Song been the head) of the department of chemistry. In close association with him- has 'been Professor O'Neil, who has gradually taken over much of his work. Professor Loughridge has been one of the active workers in the agricultural department. Through his expert re searches in soils. :he has contributed largely, to the upbuilding of the agri cultural resources of the state."

While discussing his. .'medicines yesterday afternoon. Cooper said: |' ; ; \u25a0, "I am -often asked if my medicine is good for kidney, trouble, or liver com plaint, or rheumatlsjm, or. a, dozen other diseases. : These are .\u25a0 hard : questions to answer. - j Frankly, imy. treatment Is" for the stomach and for, the stomach alone; but if the function of digestion is being properly performed/very few people can be; sick. , "The stomach is the seat of life. The entire system depends upon its action.' Why are; there' so many half sick peo ple today? \lt Is because the stomach of a,man orwoman who' lives' a 'shut in life from, day -to day, taking little or" no exercise in the. fresh air,- can not digest the amount' of •'. food that is forced upon \u25a0 it. It" gradually "grows weaker -under... these circumstances, and nervousness, kidney troubles, rheu matism, etc.; are. the result. :"I am successful with my treatment because the medicine cleans out - the food tracts .that; have become clogged, gets the digestive organs regulated and gives nature a chance.
