as much equipment as it needs, and
depends for handling its traffic upon
securing enough cars from other lines
at a per diem rate which is unprofit-
able to the owners.
At present each road is charged 25
cents per day for the first thirty days
during which It uses a freight car, be-
longing to another line. Experience
has shown that this per diem is un-
profitable for the road owning the car
and is insufficient to hasten Its return
by a line which may be making $4

■HK't', S if
HAS IT.
The board of arbitration which has
been meeting this week to settle the
water controversy between the city
and the water company will not finish
its work before Monday. The evi-
dence introduced has been volumin-
ous and it will consume considerable
of the members' time .to go through it
and make their decisions on the va-
rious points to be given attention.
This morning City Attorney E. J.
Smith and Judge Head filed argu-
ments on the construction of the law
giving public utility corporations the
right to receive 10 per cent on the in-
vestment On the manner in which
this law is construed by the board
will practically depend the success or
failure of the arbitration from the
city's standpoint. It will have largely
to do with the schedule of rates de-
cided upon by the board for both pri-
vate consumers and the city.
City Attorney Smith takes that po-
sition that the law means 10 per cent
gross, while Judge Head maintains
that it means 10 per cent net.
If the board fixes the valuation of
the plant at $200,000 (that amount be-
ing used for illustration), and allows
the company ten per cent gross, rates
will be so scheduled as to give the
water company an annual income of
$20,000 out of which the operating ex-
penses of the plant must be taken be-
fore dividends are paid.
If at the same valuation the board
allows ten per cent net, the company
will be allowed $20,000 over and above
operating expenses. This would prob-
ably increase the rates rather than di-
minish them.
Shortly before the close of taking
testimony yesterday before the board,
the question of deposits by consumers
was gone into. City Attorney E. J.
(Smith questioned Superintendent M.
J. Fitzgerald of the water company
and gained the information that in
addition to a deposit being required
for meters, tenant consumers are re-
quired to make a deposit of money
to secure payment of water rentals.
It was testified by Mr. Fitzgerald that
the amountB required from .tenant
consumers was from $1 to $15. Tho
witness stated that no Interest was
paid on thsse deposits.
Mr. Fitzgerald testified that an ag-
gregate of $13,000 is now in the meter
deposit fund, part of which has been
on deposit since 1887.
The witness stated that $1 is
charged for cutting in the water
when it has been turned off and that
this money went into the general rev-
enue of the company.
WHISKERLE88 MILKMEN.
Hirsute Appendages Declared to Be
Rendezvous for Germs.
Chicago, 111., Oct. 12.—A dispatch to
the ltecord Herald from Los Angeles,
Cal., Bays:
The Southern California Veterinary
Association has declared war on be-
whiskered dairymen. If it has its
way, caretakers, milkers and milk de-
liverers in this country will have to go
clean shaven. In a paper which was
read before the association last night
by L. W. Young, city veterinarian,
whiskers were denounced as the fav-
orite rendezvous and abiding place of
germs. Legislation was demanded to
force those who handle food to dis-
pense with "microbe-harboring parks"
on their chins. Long experience in
making tho round3 of dairies has
taught Dr. Young, he declared, that
germs thrive on farms where milkerB
wear whiskers.

New York, Oct 12.—No definite
clue to the whereabouts of Manuel
Silyelra, the Cuban, who absconded
in fcls own steamer with $1,000,000 be-
longing jto J. M. CeballoB & Co. of this
city, which precipitated tho assign-
meat of the firm, has been galiled.
Speculation has been rife as to pis
destination and thp guess which gains
the most belief is that he has gone to
Venezuela. It Is stated that Silvelra
tit XT' close friend 6t President Castro
of Venezuela, and from this it Is ar-
gued that he will put into a Venezuela
port and use the friendship of Castro
as a protection against arrest
Inquiry among the most Important
houses connected with Cuban affairs
failed to discover any disposition to
regard the failure as Indicative of any
general commercial or financial weak-
ness In the island. The most general
Idea expressed waa that the firm had
Itself become over-extsnded as a re-
sult ~f a participation In new enter-
prises beyond the capacity of Its own
capital. These Investments had been
quite large in Cuba and the recent
revolutionary developments there had
been too great a strain. So far as the
defalcation of Manuel Silvelra was
concerned It seems to be agreed that
the intervention by the United States
government had upset some very am-
bitious plans in that direction. What
these plans were is not known, but
they were supposed tO be connected
with the success of the revolutionists.
The exact means employed by 8il-
veira in obtaining the money which
he is said to hava embezzled was ex-
plained yesterday by Attorney Wm.
Noison Cromwell. Ceballos and Co.,
was one of several local concerns
which speculated heavily In tho pay
wnrrants of the Cuban revolutionary
soldiers. These warrants, issued by a
commission in different parts of the
island to the men who had fought In
the revolution, were freely discount-
ed by their holders about four years
ago.
Because of the delay in the Gov-
ernment's negotiations for a loan
these wnrrants were sold to speculat-
ors at from 20 to 50 per cent of their
face value. Ceballos and Company
bought up about $2,000,000 of the war-
rants. Of this amount $1,000,000
worth of the papers was sent to Sil-
velra for collection, while the balance
was deposited with the treasury In
Havana. The Cuban loan was finally
arranged through Speyer nnd Com-
pany, and payment on the warrants
was made.
While no statement of the condition
of the affairs of the firm will be ready
for several days, it is understood that
nnmber of banking houses in New
York have quite large amounts of Ce-
ballos paper, most of It well secured,
however, by collateral.
—hHJje banking community the great-
est sympathy Is expressed to the
members of the suspended firm. They
are criticised occasionally for embark-
ing In too many ventures, for being
too Impulsive In tho development of
Cuha, but it appears to bo granted
everywhere thaf their ability would
have been sufficient but for Sllvelra's
untoward nctlon.
According to Frederick ITphnm
Adams, a magazine writer who has
been with Silvelra in Cuba. Silvelra
Is a little bit of a man, not five feet
tall, and weiuhs less than 90 pounds.
His J?ife weighs over 200. Silvelra
lived well but not above his means,
tils offices were the finest In Havana,
arid he was celebrated for the orig-
inality nnd good taste of his enter-
tainments. Ten years ago. according
to Mr. Adams, Silvelra was a clerk In
a Havana bank. He became assocint-
<>d wllh Ceballos shortly after Cuba
gained her independence.
ATTEMPT TO
PROVE MOTIVE
INTERESTING PHASE IN THE
BROUWER CASE REACHED
BY PROSECUTION.
FAMOUS MEDICAL EXPERT
He Will Be Put on Stand Today and
Is Expected to Testify That Mrs.
Brouwer's Death Was Due to
Poison—One Pathetic
(
Feature.
Toms River, N. J., Oct 12.—Dr. Wai-
ter S. Washington, of Newark, medical
expert for the prosecution, will go on
the witness stand ^oilay at tho trial of
Dr. Frank Brouwer, who is charged
with poisoning his wife. l)r. Wash-
ington is considered tho most import-
ant medical witness for the prosecu-
tion as he is expected to say positive-
ly that Mrs. Brouwer's death was duo
to poison. He was called to the stand
late yesterday, but tho prosecution
blundered In not being properly pre-
pared to question him and tho doctor
was hastily excused until today in or-
der that a hypothetical question can
be framed that will stand the attacks
o( the defence. Yesterday the defense
successfully objected to the following
question put to Dr. Washington by
the prosecution, after he had stated
that he had heard the testimony thus
far given the court:
"Basing your opinio^ on the testi-
mony of those witnesses, and assum-
ing their, testimony to; bo true, what
In your opinion was thlc cause of the
death of Mrs. Carrie Brouwer?"
The attorneys for the defense In-
sisted that the hypothetical question
must be framed so as to include all
the pertinent testimony of tho wit-
nesses referred to, and Justice Hen-
drickson agreed with them.
The interesting trial reached Its
highest pitch yesterday when the pros-
ecution called witnesses to prove a
motive for tho crimp. Testimony was
introduced that show: That Dr.
Brouwer had been Jiving beyond his
means and had bee^i using his wife's
money at times to pky his debts; that
her life was insured for $1,000 in his
favor, and that by her death he came
into possession of property, the value
of which is variously estimated at
from $6,000 to $10,000; that they had
frequently quarrelled and that the
question of divorce had been consid-
ered; that since Mrs. Brouwer's death,
tho insurance company has declined
to pay over the money on her policy.
Finally, testimony was given that, at
tho time Mrs. Brouwer was lying on
her death bed, her husband was visit-
ing a trained nurse who was a patient
in the Long Branch Memorial Hos-
pital, and that, he purchased flowers
from a Long Branch florist which he
said ho was going to send a patient of
his in the hospital. '
Brouwer listened closely to tho tea-
tlmony and consulted frequently with
his lawyers regarding it. He also
suggested questions to them in the
cross examination of witnesses.
One of tho pathetic features of tho
trial Is the prisoner's mother. She is
a gray haired woman with a fine face
and although she seldom enters the
court room, she remains near the
court house, walking up and down tho
sidewalk.
COLD WAVE IN NORTH.
Snow and Sleet in Upper New York
State—Warmer Tomorrow.
Washington, Oct. 12.—A cold wava
swept over tho East, and South yester-
day and broke all records for this sea-
son in many sections, but last night
tho Weather Bureau announced that
wliilo tho temperature would ri.no
"only slightly" today there would bo
warmer weather Saturday, and by
Sunday seasonable temperatures will
again prevail east and south.
In many sections tho severe cold
snap was accompanied by snowfall
and a storm of snow and sleot that
raged in upper New York State par-
ticularly; caused great damage, wreck-
ed telegraph and telephone line# and
interferred with other traffic.
In somp places it is already getting
warmer. ' Down along tho Blue Ridgo
Mountains in Virginia was the coldest
weather of the country, and at Mount
Weather tho government observing
station in the mountains, sixty miles
southwest from here, the mercury was
down to freezing, while 4 degrees be-
low freezing was scored at Elkins,
W. Va.
Tho official forecast issued last
night says:
"The storm in the Lake region has
abated, although a disturbance still
exists in Lawrence Valley zone. A
barometric depression of great extent
overlies nearly the wholo of the
Rockies and tho plateau region, tho
region of lowest pressure being north
of Montana. In Eastern districts an
area of high pressure and extremely
cold weather continues to be the domi-
nating feature. Tho temperature has
risen In the Missouri Valley and tlio
plains states and has fallen in Atlan-
tic Coast districts. It is now 12 to 20
degrees below tho seasonable average
from tho Mississippi Valley east-
ward."

These prices about halves custom tailor
charges, and the fit and quality ia just as
good, if not better.
