Attempt to Secure AMiite

by Commissioner Lane.
(Pacific Coant PreM Leased Wire.)
Ban Francisco, Oct. 4. Interstate
Commerce Commissioner Lane today
blocked a bold attempt of the Southern
Pacific to secure immunity for rebat
ing.
Attorney Dunne for the Southern Pa
clfic asked to have Freight Traffic
Manager L,uce sworn so he could testi
fy regarding tne granting or special
tates to tne Associated Oil company
and other .favored shippers.
"W eextend a cordial invitation to
Mr. Luce to testify," said Commissioner
Lane, ''but I cannot take his testimony
under oath. Such action would give the
company, the prtileire of claiming lm
munity from punithnsent in case It de
sired to do so. I ocn't say it would,
howe' er. But 1 do sav such facts have
been gathered there that may, warrant
thr department or justice taxing action.
Commissioner Lane then asked:
"Do you. as a representative of the
Southern Pacific, refuse to allow Mr.
Luce or any of the assistant freight
traffic managers to go on the stand and
testify relative t the matters in sub
ject?" "I refuse them to testify, unless they
can do so under oath," replied Attorney
Dunne.
"That concludes the session, then," re
sponded Commissioner Lane.
. How the rebating system of the
Southern Pacific enables trusts to meet
and crush competition, was shown at
this morning's session.

by the fall, and in addition his skull
was fractured and his face badly lacer
ated.
The body was found shortly after 3
o'clock this morning bv P. Walton, chef
at thu Orecon hotel. Policeman Sultter
was notified and theifeody was removed
to the undertaking parlors of Coroner
J. P. l-lnlry.
The supposition Is that Mr. Daly,
while grouping around the second floor
of the building encountered the stairs,
and losing his balance plunged headlong
to his death. He fell from the top to
the ground floor opening into Park
street, covering a distance of 30 steps
on a steep Incline.
Struck Head on Stairs.
One of the rounds of the balustrade
at the head of the stairs was broken
and was found lying near the un
fortunate man's body. This would Indi
cate that as he fell Mr. D:ily made
frantic efforts to regain his feet and
clutched at the wood, which gave way
under his weight.
From marks on the stairs Indications
point to the belief that Mr. Daly fell
head first and struck on his forehead
half way down the decline.
Mrs. Walton, wife' of the man who
found the body, heard Dalv enter tho
building by the front entrance from
Washington street and then wander
about the hallways until he fell. This
was soon after 1 o clock this morning.
Mrs. Walton was waiting for her hus
band, -who had been detained at the
hotel. ' When she heard the man come
up the stairs she thought at nrst it
was Mr. Walton.
From the movements as heard by
Mrs. Walton the surveyor-general was
probably In the hallway more than
naif an hour before the accident. At
the head of the front stairway Is a
chair and table used by the janitor.
Here. It seems, Mr. Daly, who had not
been In the-best of health lately, rested
awhile. Mrs. Walton heard him sneeze
reneatedly and rumble aDout tne rurni-
ture as though the man were In a daae.
Heard Daly rail.
After resting perhaps half an hour
Mr. Daly began wandering about the
hallway, and from his notions Mrs. Wal
ton was led to believe that he was look
ing for some one. First he went north
tbrough the hall, and, coming to the end,
turned around and went in the opposite
direction.
According to the footsteps. Mrs. Wal
ton thought the man was either tired or
sick. He passed directly to her room,
No. 19. then turned into the hall, going
east and leading to the stairs where the
accident occurred.
Justus Mr Dalv reached trie head of
the staircase there was a sudden shuffle
of the feet, followed by sounds of a
man falling. This noise was also heard
by other occupants of the butldlng, but
no - one made an Investigation. Some
tMught that the sound had been caused
b"a box falling down stairs or through
the elevator shaft. i
Being alone and having recently been
sick, Mrs. Walton did not investigate.
When Mr. Walton came home she told j
him of the facts and he Began search.
Qtrina to the head of the stairs, and
with the open door and the light of the
stfeet below, he saw the form of a man.
Upon i investigation the body was
found to be lifeless. The police were

A
'A It
Burglars Pick Lock on
Front Door Worked Un
molested Robbery Dis
covered Long After It
Had Been Committed.
Two thousand dollars worth of dia
monds, gold watches and rings are
missing from the jewelry store nf Metz
ger & Co., 342 Washington street, as
the results of a daring burglar early
this morning. The Jewels and other
articles were taken before 2 o'clock
his morning. It was at this hour that
Kd Mahr. a night watchman, discovered
hat the door of the store was un-
ocked. I'pon Investigation he found
hat some one had been rummaging
about the pluce.
The diamonds and watches were taken
rom the window of the store. Kn
rance to the building was gained by
flcklnc the lock of the front door. Once
tiHlde the task of gaining possession of
the wealth was comparatively an easy
task. It Is said by members of the firm
hat there Is no clue to the Identity of
thje thief or his accomplices.
Fine Watch Overlooked.
In his apparent hurry to leave the
premises alter partly filling hl pock-
ts witn valuable stones ana much or
he gold In sight, the burglar overlooked
n elegant watch. This was found ly
ing on the showcase this morning by H.
Metzger, one of the members of tho
firm.
The lock on the door is not the most
Ifficult Kind to work and It Is be
lieved by the police that even if the
robber did not have a key he could
easily have gotten inside by picking the
asternngs with some strong, Bted in-
irument.
The police, who were notified this
morning, and Immediately began work-
ng on the case, also believe that the
burglar had a confederate. The aceom-
lice very likely remained outside, keep-
ng a lookout while the other was on
the Inside of the store taking handfuls
of the precious articles, each grab of
which was worth hundreds of dollars.
Beet Qtmi In the Safe.
As Is customary among most Jewelers.
Metzger A Co. remove the most valuable
lamonds from the display windows at
lent, leaving tne smaller stones for
show purposes. Owing to this fact there
were diamonds in the window valued at
not more than J 1,000.
When Watchman Mahr discovered the
door unlocked he secured the entrance
with a Yale lock of his own and then
maoe an effort to notify the owners.
This he was unable to accomplish, how
ever, and neither Of the Metzgers hnew
of the robbery until they opened tho
store this morning.
oN effort was made to get away with
any of the ofher articles in the store.
No effort was made- to get away with
any of the other articles In the store.

Baker City. (Jr.. Oct. 4. While the
bells toiled Holemnly and the Haker City
Concert band played the strains of
"Nearer. Mv Cod to Thee," and a
crowd of 5,000 people stood solemnly
about the coffin of Hiirvcy Brown yes
terday afternoon the men wno are sus
pected of having assassinated the for
mer sheriff, wearing an air of feigned
distress, mood near th steps of the
First Methodist church where the ser
vices were held. Their presence was
discovered by (""apt In Swain and Harry
Draper. and pursuit followed, but the
assassins escaped.
When the funeral services commenced
In trie church Captain Swain and Harry
Draper, aided by the local authorities,
took their posts outside the edifice.
They had been there but a short time
when they discovered that two sus
pected slayers of Brown were in the
crowd which bad gathered to hear the
last tribute to be paid to the dead man.
After a brief consultation the author
ities located the suspects whom they
closely shacod for hours and from
Information gathered during the chase
It is thought that the dynamiters will
be captured. No arrests were made be
cause the time was not ripe.
The Brown assassination is a com
plicated case ajfd it will take time to
ferret out all of the guilty persons
connected with It. Cntil convincing
proof against suspected men is ob
tained it Is not the desire of the offi
cers to cause an arrest. They are,
however, rapidly gathering In tho net
and but a few days will expire before
a big sensat'on will be srpung.
Belief that sympathisers with the
so-called "inner clrcie" of the Western
Federation of Miners Is responsible for
the death of Brown is growing rapidly.
Tho federation as an organization Is
not blamed but It Is the general belief
that men indirectly connected with It
committed the crime.
Rumors that Harvey Brown had seen
the original of the letter said to have
been written by Pettibone to Harry
Orchard while the latter was in the
penitentiary, are afloat here but are
discredited by the detectives who are
familiar with the details of the Steun
enberg case. Tho sleuths refuse to
credit the story and declare that the
letter could not possibly have fallen
Into the hands of Brown. He was
working on an entirely different line
and besides, they argue, the mere fact
of his having seen the letter would
have been no cause for his assassina
tion. A number of other detectives who
had much more Information about that
phase of the case than Brown have not

Bolllngha.ni, Wash., Oct. 4. Because
Bill Miner, outlaw, held 170,000 gov
ernment securities, stolen from the Can

representatives of railroads secured
from the train robber the -valuables on
condition that he be permitted to break

the Canadian road on two occasions.
This piece of diplomacy is given out
by a friend of Miner, who passed

No attempt, to capture the criminal
is being made.
It Is an open secret that guards
