OWNS
CUES
Two Conflicting Views of Brit
ish Experience With Own
ership Plan.
CONDITIONS ARE DIFFERENT
Clark Finds American Private Lines
Give Better, Cheaper Service.
Parsons Finds British Lines
, Improved by Public.
NEAV YORK. July 18. Two directly op
posite opinions on the merits of municipal
ownership of street railways in Great
Britain are given in reports to the Com
mission on Municipal Ownership of the
National Civic Federation. William J.
Clark, of New York, general manager of
the foreign department of the General
Electric Company, opposes public owner-,
ship and Professor Frank Parsons, of
Boston, author of several works on the
subject and of "The Hallways, the Trusts
and the People," advocates It.
Mr. Clark compares the tramways, of
' Great Britain with the private enterprises
of the United States, much to the advan
tage of the latter. He declares that the
American traction systems under private
ownership are far more progressive than
those of England, Scotland and Ireland;
that they give far better suburban ser
vice, that cars are less crowded and that
lines are being extended with far greater
rapidity. This he attributes to the absence
of restrictions In the United States as
compared with Great Britain, where, he
says, private traction enterprises are
given franchises only on almost prohibi
tive terms. The difference of rate of fare
In the two countries, Mr. Clark says. Is
more than offset by the greater number
of free transfers given by the American
systems. He says that, while on the fact
of reports it would appear that municipal
operation of lines In some of the cities
of Great Britain had been a seccess, as a
matter of fact Just the opposite is true.
He says the private companies in the
United Kingdom give a superior service
as compared with the municipally
operated lines.
Argument for Ownership.
- Professor Parsons, on the other hand,
expresses the opinion that municipal
ownership of British tramway systems
has been successful from every point of
view. He sets forth that the municipali-
ties were the first to show a progressive
spirit in changing from horse cars to elec
tric systems; that their lines have been
well managed and the service improved,
and that fares have been lowered in
spite of the fact that the hours of labor
of employees were shortened, while in
many instances wages were Increased.
The comparisons he makes are between
British publicly-owned and privately
owned companies, and in this connection
he declares that the British plants must
be measured by British and not by
American standards. The conditions and
habits of the people are different, he says,
and these differences must be taken Into
account in the Judgment of the manage
ment of tramways. Professor Parsons
also notes that In England the payment
of a fare means that the passenger has a
seat and not merely the right to transit.
Prefers American System.
Mr. Clark contrasts the rapid suburban
extension of American lines with the re
striction within municipal boundaries of
British municipal lines. He shows that
In 1902 the population per mile of track
was 12,476 In Britain and 1516 in the
United States; per car. 3760 in Britain
and 574 In American cities. The number
of passengers was four times as great In
America and one-fifth of them rode free
on transfers. Average fares In America
are 50 per cent higher, but he says that
better facilities are offered. Many large
British cities have no carlines. while no
American city of more than 25,000 people
Is without them. He contrasts the small
Increase in British -with the large in
crease of American mileage, the latter
accompanied by a decrease In the num
ber of passengers per mile. He points
out that the British policy of operating
within a restricted area results in oper
ating only the best-paying lines.
Mr. Clark analyzed the finances of the
British lines to show that the allowance
for depreciation is too small; that 40
cities showed a loss in 1906 after deduct
ing, sinking fund and depreciation; and
that large sums which should be charged
to the' London lines are charged to the
general city accounts. He compares
wages to show that they are double In
New York what they are in Britain.
British private companies, says Mr.
Clark, have to secure franchises from
local authorities and make excessive pay
ments, while the term of franchise is-too
short to warrant heavy expenditures for
electric lines. On the other hand, a city
seeking a franchise from Parliament in
opposition to a company has the power
of the association of municipalities, com
posed of town clerks, each of whom is a
political boss.
Spread of Municipal Lines.
Mr. Parsons dwells on the spread of
municipal ownership in Great Britain, the
number of municipal systems having in
creased between the years 1894 and 1906
from three to 123, until the only large
cities not owning their street railways
were Dublin, Bristol, Norwich and Edin
burgh. He -tells the causes of this move
mentnamely, poor seryiee, ill-treatment
of employes, refusal to electrify and ex
tend into suburbs and disregard of public
Interest and of contracts. Municipal
lines have reduced fares, reduced hours
of labor and increased wages all .the way
from 42 per cent in London to 63 per cent
In Manchester, electrified lines and ex
tended Into suburbs. Average fares In
Dublin (private ownership) are 50 to 109
per cent greater than in Glasgow (public
ownership). Service is good, often excel
lent, though narrow streets make Ameri
can speed impossible. Cars run an aver
age of 20.1 hours per day, against 18.5
hours for companies. Advertisements
which smother company cars are barred
on well-controlled municipal cars.
Case for Ownership Summed Up.
Professor Parsons gives figures to show
that the stock of British tramway com
panies Is generally watered, while munici
pal lines have more assets than liabili
ties. Finally Professor Parsons sums up good
results, saying that private tramway
companies have been stimulated to im
prove their lines and service by educated
public sentiment, fear of municipalzatlon
and municipal example. He says of a
municipal line:
(1) It secures to the public the profits
taken from the public through their pa
tronage of public service monopolies operat
ing under franchises granted' to the public;
(2. it tends to lower fares and widens dis
tribution of the benefits of the service a
publio plant is more apt to regard a surplus
as a reason for reduction of charges; 3
it aims primarily at service, while a com
pany management must aim at dividends
it Is benefit for all versus profit for a few
as the fundamental motive and purpose
14) it gives the municipality direct and
complete control of Its streets In place of
indirect and partial control; (5) it elimi
nates the opposition of interest between the
owners and the pnblic. which may at any
time give rise to difficulty, dispute and ob
struction of the public will and interest;
4fi it makes the managers the direct agents
and employes of the people Instead of the
agents of a company employed and paid by
private parties to work for the interest and
obey the Instructions of those parties a
city as well as an individual can control 113
own servants and make them obey Its
will and wish better than the servants of
some other person; (7) it adds a new field
for civic -activity and the development of
civic Interests and motives and the habits
of thought and action on which good citi
zenship depends.
TRY TO RAISEPENSIONS
Efforts Made to Increase Reward for
Indian AVar Veterans.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, July 18. Another effort will
be made at the coming session to in
crease the pensions of Indian War
veterans. The law now in force grants
only $8 per month. At the last ses
sion, a bill was introduced by Senator
Gearin, of Oregon, and finally passed,
the Senate, but when it was referred to
the House Committee on Pensions,
was pigeon-holed, and nothing came of
it. As originally Introduced, the bill
provided for an increase to $15 a
month, but the Senate cut the amount
to $10, and the relief carried would
have been small, had the bill been en
acted. Senator Bourne, of Oregon, is considering-
the advisability of introducing
a bill next session giving the Indian
War veterans the benefit of the serv
ice pension act passed last February.
At present, the service pension law ex
tends only to survivors of the Civil
and Mexican wars. Its provisions
would greatly benefit most of the In-
iv., - ,T.)or .n thmjo-'n those who
served less than 90 days would receive
no increase. In suDstance mai
grants a pension of $12 a month to
every veteran 62 years old; those who
have reached 73 are to. receive $15. and
veterans 75 years old or more are to
get $20 a month. The only requirement
is that they shall have servel 3D days.
If this law can be extended to the
Indian War veterans, it would prac-
i it.. Aan on inrPflKo t n S20 Per
month for every survivor of the Indian
wars in the Northwest, ana n re
lieved the benefits from such legisla
tion would be greater than a straight
Increase to $12 or possibly $15. The
only veterans who would not benefit
If this legislation could be passed,

was less than three months.
EMPEROR DOFFS CROWN
(Continued from First Page)
The Emperor replied that he would wait
all today for Marquis Ito's coming.
At the residency general an authorita
tive statement of the Cabinet's' action
last night was gleen out. It stated that
the Cabinet recommended that the Em
peror retire and leave the throne to the
Crown Prince. The Emperor did not re
ply then, but convened the Cabinet for
this afternoon.
Marquis Ito says that the Cabinet is
acting on its own initiative and without
knowledge of Japan's plans or desires.
This morning a leading Cabinet Minis
ter declared that the Emperor's resolu
tion was wholly unshaken at the close of
last night's session and the Minister was
hopeless of the Cabinet's power to in
fluence the Emperor today.
EMPEROR IX DREAD OF POISOX
Can Trust Nobody and Patriotic Co-
reans Desert Him.
SEOUL, via Toklo, July 18. The Em
peror's loss of the loyal adherence of a
large portion of his subjects will, it is
believed, result in the gradual develop
ment of His Majesty's policy to always
play one minister or faction against an
other so as to prevent the concentration
of power in any single body. The result
of this is that they will not faithfully
support him at the risk of life.
The Emperor himself Is constantly dis
trustful of all about Mm, and haunted
with the fear of an attempt on his life.
Consequently, boiled rice is served him at
each meal in a locked silver bowl, which
he opens with a key always kept about
his person.
Patriotic Coreans condemn his policy
as sacrificing the National interests to
his personal benefit and welfare.
The 111-Ching-Hol, a progressive asso
ciation, claiming a membership of 1.000,000,
is now openly hostile to the Emperor, and
it is doubtful even it the few now stand
ing by him will continue their support
until the last.
A sufficient indictment is likely to make
them desert the Emperor, who is now in
the most pitiable predicament.
ANGRY WITH HIS MIXISTERS
Emperor Asserts Divine Right
Against Power to Dethrone.
sev-utt. Tnlw 18 Th Cabinet Minis
ters, including the newly appointed
Household Minister, have resigned. It
is reported that the Emperor was very
angry at his Ministers on account of
their having advised him to abdicate. He
said to them that he occupied the throne
by right, inherited from his ancestors,
and that his subjects had no authority
to advise his dethronement, much less
to do so with the support of foreigners.
Marquis Ito. in compliance with the
Emperor's urgent desire to see him, even
for a short time, proceeded to the palace
this afternoon.
Emperor Will Resist Enemies.
SEOUL, via, Tokio, July 18. Pak-Young-Ho
who was recently pardoned,
and upon his return from Japan was ap
pointed Minister of the Imperial House
hold, has reported that the Emperor of
Corea emphatically protests Tils ignor
ance regarding the despatch of the dep
utation to The Hague, and says that Ms
abdication would only tend to confirm
his relation thereto. For this reason, be
will not abdicate. The Emperor he says
will prove obdurate in resisting his de
thronement. Steamer Wrecked at Bridge.
ST. LOUIS, July 18. A heavy wind pre
ceding a thunderstorm here this after
noon blew the steamboat Tennessee, val
ued at $20,000, against an abutment of the
Eads bridge, ripping open the boat's side
and sinking it. About 15 roustabouts on
board swam ashore and no lives are be
lieved to have been lost.
Navy Must Stick to Practice.
BOSTON, July 18. Governor Guild, who
had written President Roosevelt asking if
it would be possible to have one or more
warships present in the harbor during
Boston's Old Home week celebration, re
ceived a letter from President Roosevelt
today stating that it would be impossible
to divert the vessels from needed practice.

Admits Summoning Mother-in-Law
to Paris and Dons
Disguise.

Amours Aroused Jealousy by
Attentions to Sister Spree
at Constantinople.
KARLSRUHE, Ger.. July 18 Consid
erable progress was made today at the
trial of Karl Hau, the former professor
in George Washington University, who
is charged with the murder of his wife's
mother, Frau Molitor, at Baden Baden.
Hau, who was closely Interrogated by
the prosecuting Judge, finally yielded to
persuasion and consented to answer some
of the questions on which yesterday he
kest silent.
Hau appeared as cheerful and confident
as yesterday. He surprised the court by
making important admissions concerning
incidents of which he had hitherto re
fused to speak. When the presiding
Judge called the handwriting experts to
identify Hau's writing in the dispatch
sent from Paris calling Frau Molitor to
that city, Hau, anticipating the testimony,
rose and said if it would expedite the case
he would admit that he wrote the dis
patch. The Judge inquired whether he
had sent it off, but this Hau declined to
answer. He also Yefused to say whether
his wife was aware that this message
had been sent. '
Identified When Dons Disguise.
Philip Uhlig, a merchant of Frank-fort-n-the-Main,
testified that he saw
a man on November 6 in the Frank
fort railroad station, wearing a false
beard and mustache. The Judge here
askf a Hau to put on similar disguises,
and Uhlig then recognized him as the
same man.
Anna Lerch, who left Washington
with Mr. and Mrs. Hau in the capacity
of a maid servant, testified that when
Hau left London to return to the Con
tinent, he cautioned his wife to keep
hifi London address secret. The wife
as ted if she might .-write to her moth
er, and Hau replied:
"Of course."
Acted Like Crazy Man.
C. A. Bratter, a newspaper man of
Constantinople, testified that while Hau
was in the Turkish capital he played the
role of a man of wealth, spent money
Utvishly, chartered a yacht, organized
revels at a hotel with dancing girls, and
boasted of his wild life, as a student
He claimed' to have an immense income,
find showed a passion for collecting pre
cious stones.
Frau Mueller, a sister of Hau's step
mother, testified that she accompanied
Hau, Sr., to London. Upon hearing of
the arrest of Hau she had an interview
with him in prison. She found him much
altered and in a state of great mental
excitement. He gave her the Impression
of a crazy man, holding his arms rigidly
to his sides and then touching his fore
head in a singular manner.7 She said
to him:
"Are you guilty, Karl?"
To this the prisoner answered: ,
"No, I did not do it."
Romance of Hau's Elopement.
Hau boarded with Frau Mueller while
attending the classical preparatory school
at Treves. She said he was a good boy
and a model student, but that he com
menced to show signs of amatory aberra
tion as soon as he left the school. Re
ferring to Hau's elopement with Lena
Molitor, the witness said the couple went
to Switzerland, where they were visited
by Hau, senior. They soon after ran
out of funds and were in despair. She
was informed, the witness continued, that
the couple intended to commit suicide
and that Hau had shot at ' Lena but
missed her. Lena then requested Hau to
shoot a second - time, but his courage
failed him. They then planned, to end
their lives by poisoning, but this project
also was abandoned. Upon hearing of his
son's troubles, Mr. Hau, senior, decided
that the couple must marry, go to
America and start life anew. He under
took to assist them financially.
Seen at Molitor Villa.
The testimony at the afternoon session
was considered damaging to the prisoner's
case. Dora Metzger, who conducts a
confectionery shop in Baden Baden, the
day of the tragedy between the hours of
3 and 4 o'clock in the afternoon, said
she walked with an escort in the vicinity
of the Molitor villa. She noticed there a
tall man wearing a heavy black beard,
which both she and her escart regarded
as false. The witness was unable to say
whether or not the man was Hau, but
she declared the collar of his overcoat
was turned up as other witnesses had de
scribed. Upon hearing of the murder of
Mrs. Molitor, she said she remarked It
could only have been committed by "that
man." 1
Otto Bechter,' a barber of Frankfort,
testified to making a beard for Hau,
who had explained that he wanted to
surprise his relatives, whom he had not
seen In five years. Hau put on the beard
in his shop on the night of November
6, and started in the direction of the
railway station carrying his valises.
A porter named Henschter, of the
Frankfort Hotel, recognized on the
witness stand a telegram which Hau
gave him addressed to Mrs. Hau in
London. Henschter read the telegram at
the time and was struck by the request
contained therein to keep Hau's address
secret.
Wife Jealous of Sister.
At the evening session the court
took up the affidavits of Paris wit
nesses. A waiter in the Hotel Regina
swore that he heard a lively dispute
between Mr. and Mrs. Hau on the day
tlte telegram was sent to Frau Molitor,
The judge asked Hau If Olga was the
cause of this quarrel and Hau leaned
forward, evidently intending to answer,
and then suddenly said he would re
fuse to .answer. The judge warned
the prisoner that he had better ans
wer the question; thereupon Hau said
that the dispute was the first instance
when his wife reproached him with
being too intimate with her Bister,
Olga. He, however, calmed her, he
said, removing her fear.
Olga Molitor, recalled, testified that
Mrs. Hau gave her a similar version
of the affair.
Able Man, but Amorous.
Hau, continuing his testimony, said
this dispute was the cause of his send
ing his telegram to Frau Molitor to
come to Paris immediately. Olga was
ill and the reason for this action was
that he wanted to get Olga away as
soon as possible. The Judge pointed
out the weakness of this explanation,
since Hau had prearranged the date
of Olga's departure only two days dis
tant. Hau replied that ha, was so ex-

Will Go After Men for Offices No
Worry About Validity of
Appointment. N
SAN FRANCISCO. July 18. Mayor Ed
ward R. Taylor went to his office in the
new City Hall for the first time this
morning. He rode in a hired automobile,
as the machine which Schmltz has used
is at the Golden Gate garage and, al
though the managers of the garage have
notified the new Mayor that the machine
is being held subject to his order, he has
not yet secured the services of a chauf
feur. Arriving at the new City Hall the
Mayor was received by the newspaper
men with their cameras. He proceeded
immediately to his office, where he found
a number of people who had waited all
morning to see him. Most of them job
hunters. "I don't want men in office who come
looking tot places." he remarked to his
clerk. "I want to go after the men. That
is the kind that make the best public
officials.
"I have no fear regarding the validity
of my appointment," said the Mayor, "so
that I am not allowing that to enter into
my calculations. The Supreme Court has
decided that as soon as there is a con
viction vacancy occurs."
The Mayor has been asked by the Civic
League to welcome the delegates to the
peace conference, which will meet in this
city on July 23 to discuss industrial con
ditions. Vice-President Fairbanks and
United States Secretary of Commerce
and Labor Straus are expected to be
present at the conference.
BRIBERY FEATURE IS ARGUED
Judge Lawlor Instructs Counsel as
to Propositions.
SAN FRANCISCO', July IS. Arguments
of opposing counsel on the admissibility
of the testimony of ten Supervisors other
than Charles Boxton, that they were
bribed by Theodore Halsey, occupied the
entire day in the Glass trial, and the
outlook is that most of tomorrow will
be likewise consumed. Incidentally, a
point of much legal interest and criminal
importance is involved: Whether a bribe
taker is an accomplice of the bribe-giver.
The California Appellate Court has
decided that he is; but the Supreme
Court never has been called upon to
finally determine the question. Judge
Lawlor remarked today that he will
pass upon the matter before composing
his charge to the jury.
The contention of the prosecution is
that persons are not accomplices in the
meaning of the law unless they are in
dictable for the same offense, and it Is
pointed out that in this state bribe-giving
(or offering) is one offense, and bribe
taking is distinctly another, each differ
ently punishable. '
At the close of the morning's debate.
Judge Lawlor entered into an extended
review of the argument to date. "I
wish the counsel to confine their argu
met to this general proposition," he said:
"Is this evidence offered by the state
with the intention of showing guilty
knowledge, or is it offered as original
evidence , to establish the charge before
the court?"
Heney at once answered that he offered
it on both grounds.
CONDEMNS MODERN IDEAS
Pope's Syllabus Enumerates Errors
of Liberal Catholics.
ROME, July 18. The syllabus promul
gated by the Pope yesterday with regard
to the so-called modernism in the faith
contains a preamble which sets forth that
Roman Catholic authors, under the pre
text of examining dogmas, explain them
in the name of history in such a fashion
that the dogmas themselves disappear.
To prevent such efforts, the preamble
says, the Pope has ordered a congregation
of inquisition to note and reprove the
principal errors and with his approbation
65 propositions are condemned. These In
clude: Divine inspiration does not guarantee all
and every part of the Holy Scriptures
against error.
The resurrection of the Savior is not an
historical fact, but is purely supernatural.
It can neither be demonstrated nor is It
demonstrable.
The Roman Catholic Church became the
head of all churches not by divine ordi
nances but by purely political circum
stances. The church is the enemy of natural and
theological sciences.
The Christian doctrine was first Judaic,
then Pauline, then Hellenic, then univer

creed had not the same significance to

STRIKING OPERATORS CRITCISE
NATIONAL CHIEFS.
Concessions Offered by Companies a)
San Francisco Rejected Small
and Committee Disagree.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 18. It -was a
day of activity in the ranks of the strik
ing telegraphers at Oakland, 'mere were
committees appointed and many im
promptu consultations held, and during
the afternoon several operators waited
on the three members of the executive
committee, M. J. Reldy, S. J. Konen
kamp and J. M. Sullivan, but absolute
silence was maintained as to the meeting
or the trend of the discussions.
It was evident from the bearing of
the conferees that the situation was con
sidered serious and there were hints of
increasing friction among the leaders of
the strikers. The executive committee
came in for severe criticism on account of
its reported remarks deprecating the call
ing of the strike and its apparent lack or
sympathy for the local operators.
It has been rumored persistently for
the past few days that there was a seri
ous split between President Small and his
executive committeemen.
The telegraphers, after their meeting
this morning, reported that they had re
fused to accept the concessions framed
by their National executive committee.
These concessions, they stated, included
an offer of a 25 per cent increase in pay
on the part of the Western Union for the
acceptance of all but three of the strikers
in their old places. The Postal, they said,
had offered to take back 80 per cent.
Superintendent Miller today denied that
his company had offered any concessions
or that It had changed its position in any
way.
Mr. Small wired the result of the meet
ing to Chicago, but did not say what its
effect would be or whether he would
go East.
