LIVES SAVED BY POLICE
San Francisco Officers Rescue Two
From Burning Building.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 1. During a
fire whicn destroyed several business es
tablishments at the corner of Post and
Larkln streets today. George Baville and
Otto Mueller, inmates of one of the
burned buildings, were rescued from the
flames after having been rendered uncon
scious by smoke. They were carried out
by Policemen W. F. Norman and James
Sullivan, who risked their own lives in
saving the men. Officer Norman was
overcome to such an extent himself that
he was taken to the Emergency Hospital.
The fire broke out in a paint and oil
store. The loss is about (25.000.

CONTRACT IS MADE
Hill and Harriman Execute
Joint Track Deal.
COTTON AT CONFERENCE
Lawyers for Both Parties Meet in
Xew York X. P. Tracks Cannot
Be Doubled in Time for
Movement of Crops.
NEW YORK', June 1. The agreement
between the railroads controlled by E.
H. Harriman and those controlled by
James J. Hill for joint use of the tracks
leading from Portland to Seattle, has
been signed, sealed and delivered. Rep
resentatives of tne two parties to the
agreement were in conference in this
city today adjusting the legal details of
the agreement, but counsel said this was
being accomplished without friction, and
that for all practical purposes the agree
ment is now in force. Counsel said that
it was expected that the tonnage In the
section affected by the agreement would
exceed all records when the crops began
to move.
As was recently announced in The Ore
gonian, W. w. Cotton admitted Just be
fore leaving that he might have some
thing to do with the agreement men
tioned in the foregoing. From the al
lusions it appears as if his arrival was
Just timed to close the matter.
From tne addition referring to the
movement of crops. It is conjectured
that an interview with Mr. Cotton has
been somewhat confused. While the
movement -of crops is expected to be
larger than ever before, under no cir
cumstances can the tracks to Tacoma
be doubled in sufficient time to take care
of freight traffic over the Union Pacific
to Seattle.
Railroad men do not consider that
the agreement will have any effect on
the movement of freight to Seattle, as
appears to be Indicated In the dispatch.
On the contrary, freight will still travel
over the Union Pacific to Eastern points,
nor do they believe the tonnage de
veloped will be greater by reason of the
agreement.
The sudden decision of General Man
ager O'Brien to go East is also a matter
of conjecture. Mr. O'Brien had arranged
to meet President MeCrea of the Pennsyl
vania at Ashlnnri tnfnipmMiT
him to Portland, and the change of his
iicuia is oeiievea to nave something to
do with the conference in New Xork.
At Mr. O'Brien's office the statement was
made that "Mr. O'Brien had left for
New York to bring back his daughter
from school." This statement would be
perfectly reasonable, but that Mrs.
L tirlen left last Mondav -week for h
same purpose.
STEVENS TO LEAVE XEW HAVEN
Resignation Has Been Officially
Confirmed fcy Road.
NEW HAVEN, June 1. The resigna
tion of John F. Stevens has been of
ficially confirmed at the offices of the
New York, New Haven & Hartford
Railroad Company. It was said today
that John F. Stevens, vice-president In
charge of operation, "has resigned to
accept service elsewhere."
At the New Haven railroad offices
nothing is known as to the position Mr.
Stevens will assume In the West, but
it is generally believed It wUl be on
the James J. Hill properties.
Mr. Stevens, after giving up his po
sition on the Panama Canal, came to
the New Haven road in April, 1907,
and was appointed vice-president in
charge of transportation.
May Go to Northern Pacific
ST. PAUL, June 1. Nothing definite
could be learned at either the Great
Northern or Northern Pacific Railroad
offices today as to the position John
F. Stevens will hold with the Hill
lines, except that he will not come to
the Great Northern. J. J. Hill, chair
man of the Great Northern board, is in
Seattle. .
UNITED FRONT TO RAILROADS
Manufacturers Propose to Combine
Shippers in Getting Good Service.
CHICAGO. June 1. The executive com
mittee of the National Manufacturers'
Association has recommended the estab
lishment of a. permanent traffic bureau
with headquarters in New York. It is
stated that upon all questions affecting:
shippers and railroads jointly, the rail
roads always present a solid front,
whereas the shippers are .usually divided
and their efforts to get Justice are more
or less futile.
Among the things which It Is hoped
the traffic bureau will be able to secure
are: Simplicity in tariffs, prevention of
unwarranted Increases in minimum car
load weights, uniform reconsignment
privileges, a law giving the shipper con
trol over the routing of freight, more
prompt settlement of freight claims, uni
form classification, the pooling of freight
cars.
A Dutch newspaper controverts the pre
valllng notion that a sandy soil is essential
to the .cultivation of bulbs.

FILLED WITH ADMIRATION
French Ambassador Greeted by Lo
cal Notables and French Colony
-on His Journey Toward
San Francisco.
LOS ANGELES, June 1. Ambassador
J. J. Jusserand and Madame Jusserand
were met by Wilds H. Booth, president
of the Los Angeles Chamber of Com
merce, and Marc Durand, French Consul
in Los Angeles, today when the special
car in which they are traveling arrived at
Azusa. as a part of the regular Santa Fe
train. They were escorted to Pasadena
and thence to this city, -where they ar
rived in automobiles at 7 o'clock this
evening. A number of the members of
the French colony of Los Angeles met
the distinguished guests at Pasadena and
accompanied them to this city.
Members of the reception committee
of the French Society will act as hosts
to the Ambassador's party tomorrow on
an automobile ride about the city. The
visitors will be entertained at dinner in
the evening at the home of General and
Mrs- Adna R. Chaffee.' Afterward the
party wiU be taken to the Chamber of
Commerce, where a public reception will
be held.
The party Is traveling in the private
car of Vice-President George T. Nichol
son,' of the Santa Fe Railroad. As the
personal representative of United States
Senator Frank P. Flint, who had expect
ed to be present, Frank Miller, president
of the Riverside Chamber of Commerce,
met M. Jusserand here and escorted the
party over the valley in automobiles.
M. Jusserand was in an amiable frame
of mind and held a lengthy talk with
the newspaper men. The Ambassador
was especially high In his praise of the
Grand Canyon of Arizona, which he had
just visited.
The visitor was greatly interested in
the water problems of New Mexico And
Arizona. The party reached Riverside,
where luncheon was served at noon.
In an interview tonight Ambassador
L Jusserand talked briefly about the issues
Involved in the tariff discussion now go- I
on in tne united states Senate.
"In general," said the Ambassador, "it
is poor policy for this Government to put
heavy duties on such articles as gloves
and other things not made in large
quantities in this country. Such industries
as the lemon industry of California, how.
ever, demanded a heavy duty sd that it
may be fostered and encouraged.
"The further West I travel the more
astonishment I have over the greatness
of the United States," he continued. "If
the people of France had such rivers as
are in the West they would dam them
all and allow none of the vater to go to
waste. Irrigation is a great thing, espe
cially for the W'estern part of America."
Mme. Jusserand was greatly affected by
the act of a tiny child at Flagstaff, Ariz.,
who came from a ranch in the nearby
mountains to meet the train on which
they rode, bearing for Mme. Jusserand
an armful of wild flowers she had
gathered.
