THAT COMPANY ASK
Chairman Richardson Declares
Charge for Use of Conduits
Excessive.
CITY MAY LAY ITS OWN
Cost, It is Estimated, Would Not
Be So Great—May Reach
Agreement.
*’I hardly think we will accept the
proposition of the Virginia Hallway
Hua Power Company to allow the city
Ule use of Us conduits for electric
purposes for tl.ooo a year.” said
Chairman Richardson, of the special
subcommittee of the council commit
tee on electricity 1’ilday, speaking of
negotiations pending between the
company and city relative to rental
of the conduits as well ss electric
light poles from the company.
"Aa a matter of fact,” continued
Mr. Richardson, "we have ascertain
ed that we can construct conduits
ourselves for something like $5,000,
and such being the case, the charge
of $1,000 looks to be considerably
above a reasonable figure. However,
wa may reach some agreement with
the company by next Monday night,
when the committee on electricity
meets. The compeny hes yet to meke
us a proposition relative to rental of
"their holes, hut j presume soffie tnn
of a proposition In thst connection
will also be submitted for considera
tion of the committee Monday night.”
Mr. Richardson went on to explain
that the company is at present fur
nishing the city with 8*1 electric
lights, which will be supplied by the
city when the new municipal electric
lighting plant Is ready for operation
on July 1 or thereabouts. These
lights are now furnished at a cost of
$M.T$ a year.
“It’s a queer thing.” explained Mr.
~ Rlehardaon further, "that a city ordi
nance prohibits the cltv from erect.
in* Ha own pole* foj; electrict lighting
purposes, the ordinance bavins been
pained to prevent a congestion or net
work of poles In any section of the
dty. However, we might force the
railway company to take up their
poles and we might put new ones in
their place If we were unable to
eventually oome to terms with the
company.”
The anb-oommittee appointed to ne
gotiate with the company about this
matter consisted originally of Messrs.
— Richardson. Wiltshire and Whlttet
When he was elected president of the
_Board of Aldermen, two weeks ago,
Mr. Whlttet was relieved o? service on
the committee, and so Messrs. Wilt
shire and Richardson are now the
only members.
Ill PRICE OF HENS
Break in the Unprecedented Prices
Due to Fight With
Trust.
Cary street commission markets are
ago with excitement over the tremen
dous break In the quotation on live
hens which occurred over-night,
bringing the price from J 7 1-2 cents
a poiihd to lk cents. The latter figure,
however, is considered not only ex
cellent. but unusually high for this
time of the year, while the recent quo
tation of 17 1-2 was the highest price
reached on the local market within
the last twenty-five years, and was
not a normal figure, but an Inflated
price brought about. It Is declared,
by the fight In New York between the
trust and the Independents for the
control of the poultry market
A representative of one of the New
York contestants has been In Rich
mond, and through his efforts the
quotations on hens have surpassed all
recent records, since he was empow
ered to buy In unlimited quantities at
top prices, and was also authorised to
guarantee a steady price several days
ahead of delivery In order that he
might more completely control local
condition*.
Friday morning, however, this spe
cial agent received a message to sus
pend operations until further notice,
and Immediately every hen on the
street turned a back hand-spring and
landed two points and one-half below
the current quotation. -
Many of the merchants are now dis
cussing tha advisability of sendtng the
hens now on hand—and there are
hundreds of them, sent in from every
part of Virginia and North Carolina
to- take advantage of the high quota
tions—to Baltimore, where the price
is still holding its own.

TEN H RESCUED
FHOMJPNCHE
Car Dug Up Prom Slide With All
Passengers
Alive.
TERRIBLE SUFFERING
j Relief 'Workers Spurred to New
Efforts—Horrors Multiply as
Days Pass—Known Dead 115.
EVERETT, WJS., March 4.—A re
port reached the official* of the Cheat
Northern railway in this city that one
of the car* buried by the great ■now
slide neur Wellington ha* been reach
, ed intact, and that ten of the person*
in It were stiU alive, but suffering j
terribly from exposure. The report
Is not confirmed, a* the wire* to the
I scene of the disaster are destroyed.
■ and new* from there has to be
brought a considerable distance by
couriers.
Officials of the Great Northern to
day denied reports that ten person*
had been rescued alive. They say
only one man has been rescued, half
dead, after sixty hours' imprisonment
In the buried train. Others may have'
escaped, they say, but there seems
ltttle chance.
The heavy snowstorm of yesterday
and last night has changed to an icy
rgln.tft-rtay, and this is retarding the .
work of restoring communication as
well as hampering the force at work
on the slide.
As the hours go by the horror* of tho
disaster near Scenic, at the mouth of
the Cascade tunnel, where a mighty
avalanche carried two heavy train?
: from the track* of the Great Northern
railway down into the canyon hun
■ dreda of feet below, grow.
I To-day it Is certafn US persons have
perisneu. • uner* may be buried be
neath the frosen mass. but the offi
cials who have been taking a census
of the missing, declare this unlikely.
Thirty-live bodies have been recovered.
Thlrt -one have been identified. To
day sy lie, side by side, tenderly
wrap, .d in blankets, awaiting the
repairing of the railway that they
can be carried to place* of burial.
The work of recovering the bodies
If pitifully slow, owing to the nature
of the slide. The enormous mass of
earth, trees, vegetation and snow is
packed solidly to a depth exceeding
Bfty feet. Heavy snow falling Hi
most continuously interferes with the
work of the laborers snd the volnn-,
teen who flocked here from every
part at the State.
The whole marks the worst tragedy
tn the history of railroading In the
Northwest snd it will be many weeks
before normal conditions can be re
stored.
Scene Awe-Inspiring.
The scene about the mouth of the
tunnel is awe-inspiring. The great
bare mountain tow-er* upward to .1
height of three thousand feet. Or.e
week ago .It was covered with snow
above whlfh the tops of the trees tow
ered. To-day it is swept bare of all
vegetation: Great furrows mar the
black race at the loam as though
they had been made by gigantic
plow* Gaping holes as large as an
average tending show where monster
trees were torn out roots and all arid
sent swirling down into the abyss.
Boulders are left in fantastic heaps
where they dropped out ot the
avalanche.
I>own tn the canyon into which the
trains, were carried are acres of snow,
dotted on the surface with log?,
stumps, trees, pieces of broken tail
road equipment, like wreckage in a
still white lake,
On its surface men can be seen
carrying long rods which irym time
to time they use as probes endeavoring
t® locate the solid wreckage.
Away actiaa the canyon the snow
is piled up turce hundred feet, where;
It broken against the mountain side.
The upper edge Is strewn with tim
bers. like a wooded beach at low tide.
Weighed 500,000 Tens.
Railroad no^n who have grown
gray lighting tne snow in the moun
tains estimate that there was a half
millions tons weight tn the sltde when
it reached the stalled trains. This
vast mass, running at a great rate of
speed, hit the two heavy trains and
the massed rotary plows and carried
them, like light reeds, down into the
canyon to destruction.
The bodies that have been taken out
of the mass were all close to the sur
face. The work of recovering the
others seems almost an impossible
task. Toiling in the snow at the base
of the slide the men work slowly and
carefully. Whenever anything solid
is located with the divining rods a
force of shovelers Is hurried to the
spot.
They dig as rapidly as possible, but
the work is discouraging, as the snow
falls back almost as soon as It Is
removed. Usually it is a piece of
baggage or a bit of a broken car
that is uncovered, and there is now
a general belief that most nr the
tln/figg am ia fa a* Knlmv thn i
surface that it will be a lone time
before they can be reached. All hope
j for those in the Pullmans has been
! abandoned. It was at first thought ]
J that some might yet be alive, owing
! to the substantial construction of the
i cars, but as the digging proceeds it
becomes more and more plain that
even the giant steel mall care could
hardly be powerful enough to wlth
I stand the pressure.
* From Skyhomtsh, sixteen miles
from the scene of the disaster, a !
I constant stream of relatives of the
dead is making Its wsy on foot to
i where the workers are. Railroad men
jstationed along the track try vainly'
I to drive them back. But they waited
!too long, willing as they are to risk
- their lives.
At the little nntei at tno moutn or
: the tunnel the scene is heart-breaking.
Here wait those who know they have
relatives in the debris, and here they
say they will remain until the bodies
are found.
Many Tmgetfkw.
A pitiful tragedy It that of lira
Starrett. who sita. dry-eyed. Just tn
! side of the hotel, watting and hoping
against hope. One year ago her hus
hand, an engineer on the Oreat North
ern. was killed on the rand only n
short distance from here. ' She. her
father and mother, her son Raymond
and her two Mttle girle were paasen
gers on the ill-fated Spokane-Seattle
express. She and Raymond were
saved In some miraculous and unex
plained manner, but father, mother
and the two girls are buried in the
white tomb below, and she watts and
watches and hopes.

SAN FRANCISCO, March «.—
Thousands of passengers, tons of mall
and freight in unesttmated quantities
which have been tied up in snow
drifts, marooned at small stations or
blocked by washouts and landslides
for several days, are beginning to
move again on the lines of the South,
efn Pacific, Northern Pacific, Great
Northern and Oregon Short Line
through Utah, Nevada and the North*
west
Flood conditions through Nevada
are somewhat Improved to-day, and
this city, which haa been almost shut
off from mall communication with
the East for six days, is beginning
to see some relief for the congeetion.
Communication from Ogden, Utah to
San Francisco dvaa re-established to
day over the long route by way of
Portland, Oregon. Many - westbound
trains, which have been suited with
their passenger* on the Central route
of the Southern Pacific, are now on
their way Into San Francisco by a
northern detout* over the Oregon
Short Line.
One thousand Eastern ooionists on
their wsy to California are still stall
ed in Utah by washouts, but If the
trucks can be repaired as expected
will be on their way by to-morrow.
The Chicago Whits Sox baseball team
Is making the detour by Portland,
and Is due here next Sunday.
East bound trains on the Southern
Pacific, which have been held at Bat
tle Mountain, Nevada, for several
days were to-day sent back to Sacra
mento and re-routed through Port
land. They carry more than 1.000
passengers,
Traffic on the Orest Northern
through the Cascade MounUins is
still blocked. Two trains wars start
ed from Seattle early to-day on the
Northern Pacific, the first in several
days, and the officials of the company
hope to get through without great
difficulty.
MERCER RILL IS
GIVER RUTH BLOW
Page Measure Reported Adversely
Great Surprise of the
House.
The course of the Richmond, Fred
ericksburg and Potomac railroad In
regard to the State tax question was
helped considerably Friday by the
House Committee on ltoads and Inter
nal .Navigation. This committee, to
the great surprise of the majority of
the members of the Legislature, made
un unfavorable report on the Page
bill providing for a merger of the
tour roads comprising the Richmond,
Fredericksburg and Potomac system
and allowing them to take out a new
charter which would put them on a
tax-pat ing basis with the other roads
operating in this Slate. This bill was
carefully drawn by the joint commit
tee. with Gov tutor Mann as chairman,
which was in consultation with offi
cials of the road for several days on
the matter, it was Introduced in both
houses at the same time and no oppo
sition was expected to the measure.
The House Committee also compli
cated matters Friday with reference
to an amicable settlement of the dif
ferences between th company and the
Stale by reporting lavorably the Cole
man bill compelling the railroad to
live up to its present antiquated char
ter.
Following the announcement in the
House that his bill had been reported
unfavorably, Mr. Page offered a reso
lution proposing! to take up bills 374
and ISO, known as the Powers and
Coleman R. F. & P. bills, and make
them a special order for Monday.
This motion was carries.
Braxton Talks Plainly.
Attorney Braxton, ot the Hiihmond,
Fredericksburg and Potomac railroad,
gave the committee a very plain talk,
expressing his views on the matter.
He stated frankly that it would not
only be unconstitutional to pass th's
bin. hut would result tn the disorgan
isation of the road and ruin to hun
dreds of women and children of the
Elate who depend on the dividends
and earnings of the road for a living.
In presenting his side of the case
to the committee he aaid:
“It would be unwise at this time
for the Legislature to pass this bill or
even report it. As you gentlemen
know, a Joint committee has a merger
proposition under consideration,
which will be voted on by the stock
holders of the road. Any hostile
movement against the company would
have a serious effect on the atockhold
era and would not tend to strengthen
the good feeling between them and
the State."
Not Stop Anywhere.
Mr. Braxton went on to explain his
conception of the present charter. “It
does not require the road to stop at
he declared. "and would not he so
construed by any court in the country,
fhe charter states that the trains shall
be stopped at convenient points. Now,
these points could not be construed as
any other places than stations desig
nated by the company, if, on the
other hand, the charter Is held to
mean that trains can be Mopped at
any point, the charter also states that
the bond shall have the right to
charge 8 cents a mile, for all local
transportation, it would also be very
dangerous to allow persona to Mop
trains at any point The charter
states that a red flag shall be used
by day and a red light by Bight which
Is the danger algnal, and compels an
engineer to stop as short ss possible.
This would be very detrimental to the
machinery and would also place
trains in the danger of rear-end col
lisions."
"Another point of law." continued
Mr. Braxton. Is that both the road and
tho people have been living under the
present rules for seventy-live years,
and any court will hold that If both
sides have acquiesced for a long time
on a matter thedret contract will not
hold.1'
