According to Mr. Boeehe, the Hun

- The police, on their part, say they
were in danger, facing an ignorant horde

flefiant of all laws. They had to fire,
they aay, to protect themselves.
TEN YEAR'S GROWTH OF U. P.
NEW YORK, Jan. 18. So inconspicu
ously placed in the just-issued annual
report of the Union Pacific that it has
attracted little or no attention, is a
comparison of the company's condition
and operations in 1898 and in the closing
year of the decade of Harriman manage
ment completed last year. Using round
figures, this shows an increase of gros
receipts of from $33,000,000 in 1898 to
$81,500,000 in "1907. The company's, net
earnings in the same time have in
creased over $31,000,000.
Tiled charges tfrom $4,500,000 10 years
ago to $11,500,000 In 1903. Since then
there has been a steady decrease, and
under this heading the total for last
year is reduce to $8,650,000. While
dividend disbursements in 1907 amount
ed to over twenty millions more than
were paid in 1898, t'nion Pacific's net
surplus ijor the year) increased fikmi
$7,5O0O,TO6 to $12,500,000, the largest
in the history of the company. Since
the reorganization of 1898 the Union
Pacific and its Oregon lines have in
creased the average number of tons car
lied one mile per mile of road fnftn 410,
758 ton, to 1,010,543 tons,4or 250 per
cent. The same comparison of passengers
carried shows an increase in the ratio of
, nearly 3 to 1 or from 42,854 to 120,520.
UNDERWRITERS TO INVESTIGATE.
SEW! YORK. Jan. 18. Declaring their
belief that New York is in danger of
being swept by a serious fire and that
the city is resting in false security, the
Board of Fire Underwriter yesterday
begun what is expected to be a compre
hensive investigation of the condjtious
which, if not remedied, they are already
i-onvinceJ, render a calamity inevitable.
They have engaged W...C. Robinson, an
engineer, who investigated the Baltimore
ruins and the San Francisco burned dis
trict, to undertake the work here. Mr.
Robinson said yesterdays
"With a gale blowing and the fire de
partment delayed 15 to 20 minutes in
getting to work, a fire breaking out in
one of the downtown skyscraper would
in all likelihood get beyond control
and leaping from building to building,
beyond the reach of puny stream of
water, destroy hundreds of millions
worth of property. That this city has
not had a disaster exceeding even the
San Francisco or Baltimore fires, is due
to good fortune only.
"I think an analysis would show more
inferior methods in the amount and
degree of fire proofing and pre protection
among the buildings of New York than
in any other large city. So far the sal
vation of the city has rested upon its
fire department, but the situation is now
beyond the readied of even the most
efficient fire fighter."
CALIFORNIA'S FINAL TRIAL.
SAX FRANCISCO, Jan. 18 The" new
cruiser California went to sea yesterday

work for over two days before any of
ficial opinion is formed as to her qual
ities, I

RETIRING CERTIFICATES.
XEW YORK. Jan. 18. The loan cer
tificates issued by the Xew York Clear
ing House during the recent financial
stringency reached a total of $97,000,000
according to a statement prepared by
President Alexander Gilbert, of the
Clearing House Association. Of this
amount, however, only $74,900,000 in
certificates was put into actual use. By
far the greater proportion of the cer
tificates President Gilbert says, have
now been redeemed.
.The issuance of these certificates Mr.
Gilbert says, furnishes the best object
lesson of an emergency currency, 0
that is perfectly secure and one which
can be put into effect without any com
plicated bank machinery.
"All that is needed to adapt such a
system to our- requirement is develop
ments, and I feel confident that if the
subject could be referred to the clearing
house committee of the three central
reserve cities," says Mr. Gilbert, "an
emergency currency plan it is believed,
evolved that would be in harmony with
our national banking system and be less
subject to criticism and opposition than
any other system which has yet been
proposed."

WANT HEPBURN ACT DEFERRED.
CHICAGO, Jan. 18. The unsettled
condition in the financial world is to te
used by the railroads as an argument
to defer the enforcement of that section
in the Hepburn aot providing that no
road can own coal lands. This section
becomes effective March 1. It was
learned yesterday that railroad at
torneys intend to appeal to the depart
ment of justice for delay on the ground
that it is impossible for prospective pur
chasers of the mines to raise the neces
sary money. In case the desirous delay
should not be granted,; there is ft dis
position on the part of some roads to
contest the law. They contend that it
is unconstitutional as it attacks inter
ests vested unden charter authority
prior to the enactment of the measure.
